$50 or more with a minimum of $50 applicable to
each subsequent investment.
Distribution Options....... Unless the shareholder has elected
to receive dividends and distributions in cash,
dividends and distributions will be reinvested in
additional shares of the Fund making such dividend
or distribution at the net asset value per share as
of the reinvestment date. Dividend and capital
gains distributions, if any, are usually made
annually in December.
Redemptions................ Shares may be redeemed directly from a Fund at
the net asset value per share next determined
after receipt of the redemption request in good
order. A telephone redemption privilege is

for the current day's net asset value.
Taxation................... Each Fund has qualified and elected or intends
to qualify and elect to be treated as a
regulated investment company for Federal income tax
purposes under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code.
Shareholder................ Each shareholder will receive annual and semi-
Communications annual reports containing financial statements,
and a statement confirming each share transaction.
Financial statements included in annual reports
are audited by the Trust's independent certified

[1]After reduction by the Investment Adviser. If no reduction were made, the
Investment Advisory Fees would be a maximum of 0.75% of each Fund's
average daily net assets.
[2]After reduction by the Principal Underwriter. If no reduction were made, the
Rule 12b-1 Distribution Expenses would be 0.25% of each Fund's average daily
net assets.
[3]After allocation of expenses in excess of 2.00% of each Fund's average daily
net assets to the Investment Adviser. If such allocation were not made, Other
Expenses would have amounted to: 3.39% for Italy; and are estimated to be
2.01% for Australasia; 2.05% for Austria; 2.00% for Britain; 2.15% for
Canada; 2.15% for France; 2.15% for Germany; 2.15% for Global; 2.08% for
International; 2.04% for Ireland; and 2.00% for United States.
[4]The Investment Adviser reduced its fee and was allocated certain expenses
during the 1994 fiscal year to the extent that they exceeded 2.00% of the
daily net assets of each Fund that was offering its shares and voluntarily
intends to do the same for each Fund for the current fiscal year. If no fee
reductions or expense allocations were made, the Annualized Fund Operating
Expenses as a percentage of average net assets, including investment advisory
fees at a maximum of 0.75% of average daily net assets would have been: Italy
4.36%; Spain 2.06%; Switzerland 2.08%; and, for the Funds with no operating
experience prior to 1995, expenses are estimated to be: Australasia 3.11%;
Austria 3.15%; Britain 3.25%; Canada 3.25%; France 3.25%; Germany 3.25%;
Global 3.25%; International 3.18%; Ireland 3.14%; and United States 3.00%.

THE TABLE AND EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF ACTUAL
PAST EXPENSES OR FUTURE EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE
SHOWN DEPENDING UPON A VARIETY OF FACTORS INCLUDING THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE OF
ANY FUND. Moreover, while the Example assumes a 5% annual return, a Fund's
actual performance will vary and may result in actual returns greater or less
than 5%.
NOTES
(1) The purpose of the above tables and Examples is to assist investors in
understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in the Funds may
bear directly or indirectly. See "Financial Highlights," "The Investment
Adviser," "The Administrator," "Distribution Expenses" and "How To Redeem Or
Sell Shares." The table reflects estimated fees and expenses based on actual
operating expenses for the Belgium/Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan,
Netherlands, Nordic, Spain and Switzerland Funds for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994, adjusted to reflect changes resulting from the approval of
new Investment Advisory Contracts with Wright. The Mexico Fund commenced
offering its shares to the public on August 2, 1994 and its fees and expenses
are estimates for a full fiscal year. The fees and expenses shown in the table
assume the continuation of the reduction of the investment advisory fee and
partial allocation of expenses to the Investment Adviser, the reduction of the
Administrator's fee and the reduction of the fee payable under the Distribution
Plan. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown in the table and
example. The Fund's payment of a distribution fee may result in a long-term
shareholder paying more than the economic equivalent of the maximum initial
sales charge permitted under the Rules of Fair Practice of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

THE FUNDS AND THEIR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Each Fund seeks to enhance total investment return (consisting of price
appreciation plus income) by investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity
securities selected by the Investment Adviser from the publicly traded companies
in the National Equity Index for the nation or nations in which each Fund is
permitted to invest. Only securities for which adequate public information is
available and which could be considered acceptable for investment by a prudent
person will comprise a National Equity Index. Each Fund will invest at least 65%
of its total assets in the securities of companies located in the country or
countries referred to in its name. The multiple country Funds will invest in
securities of issuers in the following countries: Wright EquiFund-Australasia -
Australia and New Zealand; Wright EquiFund-Belgium/Luxembourg - Belgium and
Luxembourg and Wright EquiFund-Nordic - Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
International Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets among the
countries (excluding the United States) for which National Equity Indices exist.
Global Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets among the countries
(including the United States) for which National Equity Indices exist. The
multiple country Funds will not necessarily allocate investments equally among
the different countries located in the applicable geographical regions since
there may be a limited number of qualified issuers and securities in a given
country. Thus, investments may at times be weighted more heavily in some
countries within a multiple country Fund. In some instances, all of the assets
of a multiple-country Fund may be invested in one country. A Fund's selection of
equity securities is limited to those equity securities included in the National
Equity Index (which is described below) relating to such Fund. Each Fund will,
under normal market conditions, invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity
securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible
into stock. With respect to Austria, Belgium/Luxembourg, Canada, France,
Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Nordic, Spain and Switzerland
Funds, the policy stated in the preceding sentence is fundamental and may not be
changed without shareholder approval. As a matter of nonfundamental policy, it
is expected that the Funds will normally be fully invested in equity securities.
However, for temporary defensive purposes, a Fund may hold cash or invest all or
a portion of its net assets in the short-term debt securities described under
"Special Considerations - Defensive Investments."
Except as provided above, the investment objective and policies of each
Fund have not been identified as fundamental and may be changed by the Trustees
of the Trust without a vote of the affected Fund's shareholders. Any such change
of the investment objective of a Fund will be preceded by thirty days' advance
written notice to each shareholder of such Fund. If any changes were made, the
Fund might have an investment objective different from the objective which an
investor considered appropriate at the time the investor became a shareholder in
the Fund. There is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their respective
investment objective. The market price of securities held by the Funds that are
quoted or denominated in foreign currencies, when expressed in U.S. dollars,
will fluctuate in response to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar
and the currencies in which the securities are quoted or denominated. The net
asset value of each Fund's shares will also fluctuate as a result of changes in
the value of the securities that it owns.
<PAGE>
THE NATIONAL EQUITY INDICES
Wright, with the assistance of local financial institutions as described
below, has developed the National Equity Indices (the "Indices"). Each Index is
designed to be an index of substantially all the publicly traded companies in
the nation or nations in which each respective Fund is permitted to invest which
meet the requirements of a prudent investor. The prudent investor standard
requires that care, skill and caution be used in selecting securities for
investment. This prudent investor standard is the foundation for the investment
criteria employed in creating the Indices. Each Fund will select securities for
investment from those included in the corresponding Index, or in the case of
International Fund, from those included in all the Indices except the United
States National Equity Index or in the case of Global Fund, from those included
in all the Indices including the United States National Equity Index.
Wright has developed disciplined objective criteria to insure that the
required care, skill and caution are used in selecting securities for each of
the Indices.
Wright generally considers for inclusion in an Index only those companies
which have at least:
1. Five years of audited operating information;
2. An established minimum in both book value and market value; and
3. A three-year record of pricing in a public market.
In addition, only companies that meet the following criteria will be
included in an Index:
1. A significant portion of the shares of the company is believed to
be publicly owned;
2. The company has had positive earnings for the last fiscal or
calendar year, or for the last twelve months, or
cumulatively for the last three years; and
3. The company is not a closed-end investment company, a real
estate investment trust or a non-bank securities broker/dealer.
In selecting securities for the Indices and for inclusion in the portfolios
of the Funds, Wright utilizes its WORLDSCOPE(R) international database. The
database provides more than 1,500 items of information on more than 12,000
companies worldwide. Except with respect to the United States, Wright utilizes
the services of major financial institutions that are located in the nations in
which the respective Funds are permitted to invest and are qualified to supply
Wright with research products and services. These services include reports on
particular industries and companies, economic surveys and analyses of the
investment environment and trends in a particular nation, recommendations as to
whether specific securities should be included in an Index and other appropriate
assistance in the performance of Wright's decision-making responsibilities.
<PAGE>
The Indices are adjusted quarterly and as otherwise necessary to reflect
significant events. Changes in the composition of an Index will be made by
determining whether existing companies included in the Index continue to meet
the criteria of the Index and whether other companies meet these criteria and
should replace or be added to the companies already comprising that Index. The
Indices give equal weight to each security included therein, and are intended to
include substantially all the publicly traded companies which meet the
requirements of the prudent investor in the respective nations. Use of the equal
weighting method of constructing an Index will often result in a greater
representation of smaller capitalization companies than would occur if the Index
were weighted on the basis of relative market capitalization in the nation or
nations in which their securities are primarily traded. Such smaller
capitalization companies may have shorter operating histories, less
diversification of assets and smaller dividend payments than larger
capitalization companies. On the other hand, such smaller capitalization
companies may be younger or less mature companies still experiencing significant
growth. A detailed explanation of the objective criteria used in the process of
selecting companies for inclusion in an Index is included in the Statement of
Additional Information.
The securities included in an Index will be (i) admitted to official
listing on a stock exchange in any Member State of the European Economic
Community, (ii) admitted to official listing on a recognized stock exchange in
any other country in Western Europe, Asia, Oceania, the American continents,
including Bermuda, and Africa, (iii) traded on another regulated market in any
such Member State of the European Economic Community or such other country
referred to above, provided such market operates regularly and is recognized and
open to the public, or (iv) recently issued, provided the terms of the issue
provide that application be made for admission to official listing on any of the
stock exchanges or other regulated markets referred to above, and provided such
listing is secured within a year following the date of issuance.
The Investment Adviser believes that such a broad equal weighted index is
more representative of the corresponding national markets and displays a bias
towards smaller, less mature companies still experiencing some growth. The
performance of each National Equity Index is included in various publications of
Wright Investors' Service, including the monthly INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT ADVICE
AND ANALYSIS.
POLICIES THAT APPLY TO ALL FUNDS
EXCEPT THE UNITED STATES, INTERNATIONAL AND GLOBAL FUNDS
Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of enhanced total
investment return (price appreciation plus income) by investing in a broadly
based portfolio of equity securities selected by the Investment Adviser from the
publicly traded companies in the corresponding Index. Subject to the
availability of assets for investment, the Investment Adviser will select equity
securities for a Fund's portfolio from companies in the relevant Index, or
determine to sell securities in the Fund's
<PAGE>
portfolio, on the basis of characteristics which have been identified by
the Investment Adviser as being likely to provide comparatively superior
investment return over the intermediate term. Each Fund may acquire for its
portfolio only those securities which are included in the relevant Index at the
time of purchase. Although there can be no guarantee that each Fund's investment
objective will be achieved, each Fund is expected to have a broadly based
investment portfolio composed of the equity securities of companies in the
designated nation or nations.
POLICIES THAT APPLY TO THE UNITED STATES, INTERNATIONAL AND GLOBAL FUNDS
United States Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of enhanced
total investment return (price appreciation plus income) by investing in a
broadly based portfolio of equity securities selected by the Investment Adviser
from the publicly traded companies in the United States National Equity Index.
International and Global Funds seek to achieve their investment objectives of
enhanced total investment return (price appreciation plus income) by investing
in broadly based portfolios of equity securities selected by the Investment
Adviser from the publicly traded companies in all the Indices except the United
States National Equity Index and all the Indices including the United States
National Equity Index, respectively. Subject to the availability of assets for
investment, the Investment Adviser will select equity securities for a Fund's
portfolio from companies included in the appropriate Index or Indices, as the
case may be, or determine to sell securities in the Fund's portfolio, in an
attempt to equal the performance of the appropriate Index or Indices. Although
there can be no guarantee that a Fund's investment objective will be achieved,
each Fund is expected to have a broadly based investment portfolio composed of
the equity securities of companies in the designated nation or nations.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted certain fundamental
investment restrictions which are enumerated in detail in the Statement of
Additional Information and which may be changed as to each Fund only by the vote
of a majority of the affected Fund's outstanding voting securities. Among these
restrictions, a Fund may not borrow money except from a bank, and then only up
to 1/3 of the current market value of its total assets (excluding the amount
borrowed) or purchase any securities which would cause more than 25% of the
market value of its total assets at the time of such purchase to be invested in
the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same
industry, provided that there is no limitation with respect to investments in
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities. Further, with respect to 75% of its assets, no more than 5%
of a Fund's total assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer
and no Fund will purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
a single issuer. None of the Funds has any current intention of borrowing for
leverage or speculative purposes. As a matter of nonfundamental policy, no Fund
will purchase or enter into an agreement to purchase securities while borrowings
exceed 5% of its total assets.
<PAGE>
None of the Funds is intended to be a complete investment program by itself
and the prospective investor should take into account his or her objectives and
other investments when considering the purchase of any Fund's shares. The Funds
cannot eliminate risk or assure achievement of their objectives.
SPECIAL INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - RISKS
Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in order
to earn income on temporarily uninvested cash. A repurchase agreement is an
agreement under which the seller of securities agrees to repurchase and a Fund
agrees to resell the securities at a specified time and price. Each Fund may
enter into repurchase agreements only with large, well-capitalized domestic or
foreign banks or government securities dealers that meet Wright credit
standards. In addition, such repurchase agreements will provide that the value
of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least
equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned under the
repurchase agreement. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a seller under
a repurchase agreement, the affected Fund will seek to liquidate such
collateral. However, the exercise of the right to liquidate such collateral
could involve certain costs, delays and restrictions and is not ultimately
assured. To the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the
obligation to repurchase are less than the repurchase price, a Fund could suffer
a loss. There is no percentage limit on the amount of any Fund's investments in
repurchase agreements, except for the requirement that, under normal market
conditions, at least 80% of each Fund's net assets will be invested in equity
securities.
Temporary Defensive Investments. During periods of unusual market or economic
conditions, when Wright believes that investing for temporary defensive purposes
is appropriate, all or any portion of each Fund's assets may be held in cash
(including the foreign currency of the nation or nations in which such Fund
invests) or invested in short-term obligations, including but not limited to
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any foreign government or any of
their respective agencies or instrumentalities; obligations of public
international agencies; commercial paper which at the date of investment is
rated A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("Standard & Poor's") or P-1 by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or, if not rated by such rating
organizations, is deemed by the Investment Adviser to be of comparable quality;
short-term corporate obligations and other debt instruments which at the date of
investment are rated AA or better by Standard & Poor's or Aa or better by
Moody's or, if unrated, which are deemed by the Investment Adviser to be of
comparable quality; and certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and time
deposits of domestic or foreign banks which are determined to be of high quality
by the Investment Adviser. Temporary investments may be denominated either in
U.S. dollars or in the currency of the nation in which the Fund primarily
invests.
Foreign Investments. Investment in securities of foreign companies and
governments may involve certain risk considerations in addition to those arising
when investing in domestic
<PAGE>
securities. These considerations include the possibility of currency
exchange rate fluctuations and revaluation of currencies, the existence of less
publicly available information about foreign issuers, different accounting,
auditing and financial reporting standards, less stringent securities
regulation, non-negotiable brokerage commissions, different tax provisions,
political or social instability, war or expropriation. Moreover, foreign stock
and bond markets generally are not as developed and efficient as those in the
United States and, therefore, the volume and liquidity in those markets may be
less, and the volatility of prices may be greater, than in U.S. markets.
Settlement of transactions in foreign markets may be delayed beyond what is
customary in U.S. markets. These considerations generally are of greater concern
in developing countries. Each Fund may, but does not expect to, invest in
foreign securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"),
European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs"), International Depositary Receipts
("IDRs") or other similar securities convertible into securities of foreign
issuers. ADRs are receipts typically issued by a United States bank or trust
company evidencing ownership of the underlying foreign securities. EDRs and IDRs
are receipts typically issued by a European bank or trust company evidencing
ownership of the underlying foreign securities. Further information regarding
the nations in which the Funds will invest may be found in the Appendix,
beginning on page 39.
Foreign Currency Transactions. Each Fund, other than the United States Fund, may
buy and sell foreign currencies. The value in U.S. dollars of investments quoted
or denominated in foreign currencies will be affected by changes in currency
exchange rates. As one way of managing currency exchange rate risk, a Fund may
enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are agreements to
purchase or sell foreign currencies at a specified price and date. A Fund will
usually enter into these contracts to fix the value of a security it has agreed
to buy or sell. A Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the value of a
security it already owns, particularly if it expects a decline in the value of
the currency in which the foreign security is quoted or denominated. The
underlying currency value of each Fund's forward contracts will be limited to
the value of securities to be bought and sold in that currency plus the value of
the Fund's portfolio securities quoted or denominated in such currency. There is
no other percentage limitation on any Fund's holdings of foreign currencies or
forward contracts, except for the requirement that, under normal market
conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets will be invested in equity
securities. Contracts to sell foreign currency could limit any potential gain
which might be realized by a Fund if the value of the hedged currency increases.
Although a Fund will attempt to benefit from using forward contracts, the
success of its hedging strategy will depend on Wright's ability to predict
accurately the future exchange rate between foreign currencies. The ability to
predict the direction of currency exchange rates involves skills different from
those used in selecting securities.
LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund may seek to increase its total
return by lending portfolio securities to broker-dealers or other institutional
borrowers. Such loans are required to be continuously secured by collateral in
cash, cash-equivalents and U.S. Government securities. During the existence of a
loan, a Fund will continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or
<PAGE>
dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and will also receive a
fee, or all or a portion of the interest, if any, on investment of the
collateral. However, the Fund may at the same time pay a transaction fee to such
borrowers. A Fund may invest the proceeds it receives from a securities loan in
the types of securities in which it may invest. As with other extensions of
credit there are risks of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the
securities loaned if the borrower of the securities fails financially. However,
the loans will be made only to organizations deemed by the Investment Adviser to
be of good standing and when, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, the
consideration which can be earned from securities loans of this type justifies
the attendant risk. The financial condition of the borrower will be monitored by
the Investment Adviser on an ongoing basis and collateral values will be
continuously maintained at no less than 100% by "marking to market" daily. If
the Investment Adviser decides to make securities loans, it is intended that the
value of the securities loaned would not exceed 30% of the Fund's total assets.
THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
Each Fund has engaged Wright Investors' Service ("Wright"), 1000 Lafayette
Boulevard, Bridgeport, Connecticut, to act as its investment adviser pursuant to
Investment Advisory Contracts. Under the general supervision of the Trustees of
the Trust, Wright furnishes the Funds with investment advice and management
services. The Trustees of the Trust are responsible for the general oversight of
the conduct of the Funds' business.
Wright is a leading independent international investment management and
advisory firm with more than 30 years' experience. Its staff of over 175 people
includes a highly respected team of 70 economists, investment experts and
research analysts. In addition to the Funds, Wright manages assets for bank
trust departments, corporations, unions, municipalities, eleemosynary
institutions, professional associations, institutional investors, fiduciary
organizations, family trusts and individuals. Wright is also the investment
adviser to The Wright Managed Equity Trust, The Wright Managed Income Trust, and
The Wright Managed Blue Chip Series Trust (the "Wright Funds"). Wright operates
one of the world's largest and most complete databases of financial information
on over 12,000 domestic and international corporations. At the end of 1994,
Wright managed approximately $4 billion of assets.
An Investment Committee of six senior officers, all of whom are experienced

Under Wright's Investment Advisory Contracts with the Trust on behalf of
the Funds, each Fund is required to pay Wright a monthly advisory fee calculated
at the annual rates (as a percentage of average daily net assets) set forth in
the following table. However, for the 1995 fiscal year, Wright has agreed to
reduce its advisory fee and be allocated certain expenses, if such action is
necessary to keep each Fund's expense ratio at or below 2.00%.
ANNUAL % ADVISORY FEE RATES
Under $500 Million $500 Million to $1 Billion Over $1 Billion
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.75% 0.73% 0.68%
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to compensating Wright for its advisory services to the Funds,
the advisory fee schedule is intended to partially compensate Wright for the
maintenance of the National Equity Indices which form the basis for the
selection of securities for the Funds. Wright incurs significant expenses in
maintaining the Indices, including: the cost of employing persons to research
companies that are candidates for inclusion in or removal from an Index and to
enter data into Wright's computerized international database; compensation to
institutions in each country for research provided to Wright; expenses
associated with travel to the countries for which Wright maintains Indices; and
the costs of subscribing to numerous publications and making extensive use of
long-distance telecommunications facilities.
The need to compensate Wright for incurring these expenses in maintaining
the Indices distinguishes the Funds from traditional index funds with portfolios
that track independent published indices available at little or no cost to the
funds' managers.
Prior to January 20, 1994 for the Belgium/Luxembourg, Japan, Nordic and
Switzerland Funds and prior to August 25, 1994 for the Hong Kong, Italy,
Netherlands and Spain Funds under the Funds' prior investment advisory
contracts, each Fund was required to pay Wright a monthly
<PAGE>
advisory fee calculated at the following annual rates: 0.50% of average
daily net assets under $500 million; 0.48% of average daily net assets of $500
million and under $1 billion; and 0.43% of average daily net assets of $1
billion and over.
The following table sets forth the net assets of each Fund that was
offering its shares as at December 31, 1994 and the advisory fee rate paid from
each such Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. At December 31,
1994, the Australasia, Austria, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland,
United States, Global, and International Funds had not commenced operations.

[*]To enhance the net income of the Italy Fund, Wright made a reduction of its
advisory fee in the amount of $12,039 and Wright was allocated $33,433 of
expenses related to the operation of the Italy Fund.
</FN>
</TABLE>
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Contracts, Wright also furnishes for
the use of each Fund office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment
and personnel for servicing the investments of each Fund. Other than those
expenses expressly stated to be payable by Wright under its Investment Advisory
Contract, each Fund is responsible for all expenses relating to its operations
including, but not limited to, Wright's advisory fee; Eaton Vance's
administration fee; fees pursuant to the Trust's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan;
taxes, if any; custodian, legal and auditing fees; fees and expenses of Trustees
who are not members of, affiliated with or interested persons of Wright or Eaton
Vance; insurance premiums; trade association dues; expenses of obtaining
quotations for calculating the value of each Fund's net assets; printing and
other expenses which are not expressly designated as expenses of Wright or Eaton
Vance.
Wright places the portfolio security transactions for each Fund, which in
some cases may be effected in block transactions which include other accounts
managed by Wright. Wright provides
<PAGE>
similar services directly for bank trust departments. Wright seeks to
execute the Funds' portfolio security transactions on the most favorable terms
and in the most effective manner possible. Subject to the foregoing, Wright may
consider sales of shares of the Wright Funds as a factor in the selection of
broker-dealer firms to execute such transactions. Portfolio changes may be made
by Wright without regard to the length of time a security has been held.
However, it is not the intention of the Funds to engage in trading for
short-term profits. The frequency of each Fund's portfolio transactions or
turnover rate may vary from year to year depending on market conditions. A high
rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) involves a correspondingly greater
amount of brokerage commissions and other costs which must be borne directly by
a Fund and thus indirectly by its shareholders. It may also result in the
realization of larger amounts of net short-term capital gains, distributions
from which are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and may, under certain
circumstances, make it more difficult for a Fund to qualify as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. It is anticipated that the
portfolio turnover rates of the Funds will not exceed 75% during the current
fiscal year. The high portfolio turnover rate experienced by the Italy Fund is
as a result of excessive redemptions, not portfolio trading.
The investment advisory fees payable by the Funds may be higher than the
advisory fees payable by many mutual funds; however, the Investment Adviser
believes that such fees are consistent with the average fees payable by mutual
funds which invest in foreign equity securities.
THE ADMINISTRATOR
Each Fund engages Eaton Vance as its administrator under an Administration
Agreement. Under the Administration Agreement, Eaton Vance is responsible for
managing the business affairs of each Fund, subject to the supervision of the
Trust's Trustees. Eaton Vance's services include recordkeeping, preparation and
filing of documents required to comply with Federal and state securities laws,
supervising the activities of the Funds' custodian and transfer agent, providing
assistance in connection with the Trustees' and shareholders meetings and other
administrative services necessary to conduct each Fund's business. Eaton Vance
will not provide any investment management or advisory services to the Funds.
For its services under the Administration Agreement, each Fund is required to
pay Eaton Vance a monthly administration fee calculated at the annual rates (as
a percentage of average daily net assets) set forth in the following table.

Eaton Vance, its affiliates and its predecessor companies have been managing
assets of individuals and institutions since 1924 and managing investment
companies since 1931. In addition to acting as the administrator of the Funds,
Eaton Vance or its affiliates act as investment adviser to investment companies
and various individual and institutional clients with assets under management of
approximately $15 billion. Eaton Vance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton
Vance Corp., a publicly held holding company. Eaton Vance Corp., through its
subsidiaries and affiliates, engages in investment management and marketing
activities, fiduciary and banking services, oil and gas operations, real estate
investment, consulting and management and the development of precious metals
properties.
DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES
In addition to the fees and expenses payable by each Fund in accordance
with its Investment Advisory Contract and Administration Agreement, each Fund
pays for certain expenses pursuant to a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") designed
to meet the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and Article III,
Section 26 of the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD").
The Trust has entered into a distribution contract with Wright Investors'
Service Distributors, Inc. ("WISDI" or the "Principal Underwriter"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of
<PAGE>
Wright. Under this contract and the Plan, it is currently intended that
each Fund will pay to WISDI for distribution services and personal and account
maintenance services in connection with the Fund's shares, an annual fee equal
to .25% of each Fund's average daily net assets. Appropriate adjustments to
payments made pursuant to the Plan shall be made whenever necessary to assure
that no payment is made by a Fund which exceeds the applicable maximum cap
imposed on asset-based, front-end and deferred sales charges by Section 26(d) of
Article III of the Rules of Fair Practice of the NASD.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, is authorized to
compensate WISDI for (1) distribution services and (2) personal and account
maintenance services performed and expenses incurred by WISDI in connection with
the Fund's shares. The amount of such compensation, including compensation for
personal and account maintenance services, paid during any one year shall not
exceed .25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such compensation shall
be calculated and accrued daily and paid quarterly.
Distribution services and expenses for which WISDI may be compensated
pursuant to this Plan include, without limitation: compensation to and expenses
incurred by Authorized Dealers and the officers, employees and sales
representatives of Authorized Dealers and of WISDI; allocable overhead, travel
and telephone expenses; the printing of prospectuses and reports for other than
existing shareholders; the preparation and distribution of sales literature and
advertising; and all other expenses (other than personal and account maintenance
services as defined below) incurred in connection with activities primarily
intended to result in the sale of the Funds' shares.
Personal and account maintenance services include, but are not limited to,
payments made to or on account of WISDI, Authorized Dealers and their respective
officers, employees and sales representatives who respond to inquiries of, and
furnish assistance to, shareholders concerning their ownership of Fund shares
and their accounts or who provide similar services not otherwise provided by or
on behalf of the Fund.
The Plan is a compensation plan which provides for the payment of a
specified distribution fee without regard to the distribution expenses actually
incurred by WISDI. Accordingly, an amount equal to 1/365 of the annual
distribution fee will be accrued on each day as an expense of each Fund, which
will reduce its net investment income. If the Plan were terminated or not
continued by the Trustees and no successor plan were adopted, the Funds would
cease to make distribution payments to WISDI. WISDI would be unable to recover
the amount of any unreimbursed distribution expenditures made by WISDI. However,
WISDI does not intend to make distribution expenditures at a rate that
materially exceeds the rate of compensation received under the Plan.
The following table shows the distribution expenses allowable to WISDI and
paid by each Fund that was offering its shares at December 31, 1994 for the
fiscal year then ended.

</TABLE>
HOW THE FUNDS VALUE THEIR SHARES
The Trust values the shares of each Fund once on each day the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. New York time). The net asset value is determined in the
manner authorized by the Trustees of the Trust by the Funds' custodian (as agent
for the Funds) with the assistance of Wright for securities that involve
valuation problems. Such determination is accomplished by dividing the number of
outstanding shares of each Fund into its net worth (the excess of its assets
over its liabilities).
Portfolio securities traded on more than one United States national
securities exchange or foreign securities exchange are valued by the Funds'
custodian at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is
being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market
for such securities, unless those prices are deemed by Wright to be not
representative of market values. Securities which cannot be valued at such
prices, will be valued by Wright at fair value in accordance with procedures
adopted by the Trustees. Foreign currencies, options on foreign currencies and
forward foreign currency contracts will be valued at their last sales price as
determined by published quotations or as supplied by banks that deal in such
instruments. The value of all assets and liabilities expressed in foreign
currencies will be converted into U.S. dollar value at the mean between the
buying and selling rates of such currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by
any major bank. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange will
be determined in good faith by or under procedures established by the Trustees.
Securities traded over-the-counter, unlisted securities and listed securities
for which closing sale prices are not available are valued at the mean between
latest bid and asked prices or, if such bid and asked prices are not available,
at prices supplied by a pricing agent selected by Wright, unless such prices
<PAGE>
are deemed by Wright not to be representative of market values at the close
of business of the NYSE. Securities for which market quotations are unavailable,
restricted securities, securities for which prices are deemed by Wright not to
be representative of market values and other assets will be appraised at their
fair value as determined in good faith according to guidelines established by
the Trustees of the Trust. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which the Trustees have
determined approximates market value. Options traded on exchanges and
over-the-counter will be valued at the last current sales price on the market
where such option is principally traded. Over-the-counter and listed options for
which a last sale price is not available will be valued on the basis of
quotations supplied by dealers who regularly trade such options or if such
quotations are not available or deemed by Wright not to be representative of
market values, at fair value.
Trading in securities on European and Far Eastern securities exchanges and
over-the-counter markets is normally completed well before the close of business
on each business day in New York (i.e., a day on which the NYSE is open for
trading). In addition, European or Far Eastern securities trading generally or
in a particular country or countries may not take place on all business days in
New York. Furthermore, trading takes place in Japanese markets on certain
Saturdays and in various foreign markets on days which are not business days in
New York and on which the Funds' net asset values are not calculated. Such
calculation does not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the
prices of the majority of the portfolio securities used in such calculation.
Events affecting the values of portfolio securities that occur between the time
their prices are determined and the close of the New York Stock Exchange will
not be reflected in a Fund's calculation of net asset value unless Wright deems
that the particular event would materially affect net asset value, in which case
an adjustment will be made.
HOW TO BUY SHARES
Shares of each Fund are sold without a sales charge at the net asset value
next determined after the receipt of a purchase order as described below. The
minimum initial investment in each Fund is $1,000, although this will be waived
for investments in 401(k) tax-sheltered retirement plans. There is no minimum
amount required for subsequent purchases. The $1,000 minimum initial investment
is waived for Bank Draft Investing accounts which may be established with an
investment of $50 or more with a minimum of $50 applicable to each subsequent
investment. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any order for the purchase of
its shares or to limit or suspend, without prior notice, the offering of its
shares.
Shares of each Fund may be purchased or redeemed through an investment
dealer, bank or other institution. Such purchase or redemption will not be
effective until the order or request is received by the Fund's transfer agent.
Charges may be imposed by the institution for its services. Any such charges
could constitute a material portion of a smaller account. Shares may be
purchased or redeemed directly from or with each Fund without imposition of any
charges other than those described in this Prospectus.
<PAGE>
Wright does not intend to exclude from the calculation of the investment
advisory fees it charges Participating Trust Departments the assets of
Participating Trust Departments which are invested in the Funds. Accordingly, a
Participating Trust Department may pay an advisory fee to Wright as a client of
Wright in accordance with Wright's customary investment advisory fee schedule
charged Participating Trust Departments for management of an investment account
and at the same time, if the account holds shares of a Fund, as a shareholder in
a Fund, bear its share of the advisory and other fees paid by that Fund to
Wright.
Purchases By Wire: Investors may purchase shares by transmitting
immediately available funds (Federal Funds) by wire to:
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston
A/C Investors Bank & Trust Company
for (specify name) Fund
Name and Account Number of Shareholder's Account
Initial purchase -- Upon making an initial investment by wire, an investor
must first telephone the Order Department of the Funds at (800) 225-6265, Ext.
3, to advise of the action and to be assigned an account number. If this
telephone call is not made, it may not be possible to process the order
promptly. In addition, an Account Instructions form, which is available through
WISDI, should be promptly forwarded to The Shareholder Services Group, Inc. (the
"Transfer Agent") at the following address:
THE WRIGHT EQUIFUND EQUITY TRUST
BOS 725
P.O. Box 1559
Boston, Massachusetts 02104
Subsequent Purchases -- Additional investments may be made at any time
through the wire procedure described above. The Funds' Order Department must be
immediately advised by telephone at (800) 225-6265, Ext. 3 of each transmission
of funds by wire.
Purchases By Mail: Initial Purchases -- The Account Instructions form
available through WISDI should be completed by an investor, signed and mailed
with a check, Federal Reserve Draft, or other negotiable bank draft, drawn on a
U.S. bank and payable in U.S. dollars, to the order of the Fund whose shares are
being purchased and mailed to the Transfer Agent at the above address.
Subsequent Purchases -- Additional purchases may be
made at any time by an investor by check, Federal Reserve draft, or other
negotiable bank draft, drawn on a U.S. bank and payable in U.S. dollars, to the
order of the relevant Fund at the above address. The fiduciary sub-account, if
any, to which the subsequent purchase is to be credited should be identified
together with the sub-account number and, unless otherwise agreed, the name of
the sub-account.
<PAGE>
Bank Draft Investing -- for regular share accumulation: Cash investments of
$50 or more may be made through the shareholder's checking account via bank
draft each month or quarter. The $1,000 minimum initial investment and small
account redemption policy are waived for Bank Draft Investing accounts.
Purchase Through Exchange of Securities: Investors wishing to purchase
shares of a Fund through an exchange of portfolio securities should contact
WISDI to determine the acceptability of the securities and make the proper
arrangements. The shares of a Fund may be purchased, in whole or in part, by
delivering to the Funds' custodian securities that meet the investment objective
and policies of the relevant Fund, have readily ascertainable market prices and
quotations and which are otherwise acceptable to the Investment Adviser and the
Fund. The Trust will only accept securities in exchange for shares of the Funds
for investment purposes and not as agent for the shareholders with a view to a
resale of such securities. The Investment Adviser, WISDI and the Funds reserve
the right to reject all or any part of the securities offered in exchange for
shares of a Fund. An investor who wishes to make an exchange should furnish to
WISDI a list with a full and exact description of all of the securities which he
proposes to deliver. WISDI or the Investment Adviser will specify those
securities which the Fund is prepared to accept and will provide the investor
with the necessary forms to be completed and signed by the investor. The
investor should then send the securities, in proper form for transfer, with the
necessary forms to the Funds' Custodian and certify that there are no legal or
contractual restrictions on the free transfer and sale of the securities.
Exchanged securities will be valued at their fair market value as of the date
that the securities in proper form for transfer and the accompanying purchase
order are both received by the Trust, using the procedures for valuing portfolio
securities as described under "How the Funds Value Their Shares" on page 27.
However, if the NYSE or appropriate foreign stock exchange is not open for
unrestricted trading on such date, such valuation shall be on the next day on
which the NYSE or foreign stock exchange is so open. In any event, all
valuations are determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trust's
Trustees. The net asset value used for purposes of pricing shares sold under the
exchange program will be the net asset value next determined following the
receipt of both the securities offered in exchange and the accompanying purchase
order. Securities to be exchanged must have a minimum aggregate value of $5,000.
An exchange of securities is a taxable transaction which may result in
realization of a gain or loss for Federal and state income tax purposes.
HOW SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNTS ARE MAINTAINED
Upon the initial purchase of a Fund's shares, an account will be opened for
the account or sub-account of the investor. Subsequent investments may be made
at any time by mail to the Transfer Agent or by wire, as noted above. There is
currently a $500 minimum account balance which is required to be maintained by
Fund shareholders. The Trust has the right, upon 60 days' notice to
shareholders, to involuntarily redeem shares, at the net asset value in accounts
which do not meet this minimum account requirement. However, no such redemption
would be required by a Fund if the cause of the low account balance was a
reduction in the net asset value of Fund shares.
<PAGE>
Confirmation statements indicating total shares of each Fund owned in the
account or each sub-account will be mailed to investors quarterly and at the
time of each purchase (other than reinvestment of dividends or distributions) or
redemption. The issuance of shares will be recorded on the books of the relevant
Fund. The Trust does not issue share certificates.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND DIVIDENDS BY THE FUNDS
The Trust intends to pay dividends from the net investment income of each
Fund as shown on the Fund's books at least annually. Any realized net capital
gains from the sale of securities in a Fund's portfolio or from transactions in
forward contracts or options (reduced by any available capital loss
carryforwards from prior years) will be also paid at least annually.
Shareholders may reinvest dividends, and accumulate capital gains distributions,
if any, in additional shares of the same Fund at the net asset value as of the
ex-dividend date. Unless shareholders otherwise instruct, all distributions and
dividends will be automatically invested in additional shares of the same Fund.
Alternatively, shareholders may reinvest capital gains distributions and direct
that dividends be paid in cash, or that both dividends and capital gains
distributions be paid in cash.
TAXES
Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), each Fund
is treated as a separate entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund has
qualified and elected or intends to qualify and elect to be treated as a
regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes. In order to so
qualify, each Fund must meet certain requirements with respect to sources of
income, diversification of assets, and distributions to shareholders. Each Fund
does not pay Federal income or excise taxes to the extent that it distributes to
its shareholders all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains
in accordance with the timing requirements of the Code. None of the Funds will
be subject to income, corporate excise or franchise taxation in Massachusetts in
any year in which it qualifies as a regulated investment company under the Code.
For Federal income tax purposes, a shareholder's proportionate share of
distributions from each Fund's net investment income and net short-term capital
gains as well as distributions of certain foreign currency gains is taxable as
ordinary income, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares. It
is not expected that any portion of a Fund's distributions (with the possible
exception of certain distributions from Global Fund and/or United States Fund)
will qualify for the corporate dividends-received deduction. A shareholder's
proportionate share of distributions of each Fund's net long-term capital gains
is taxable as long-term capital gains whether received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares, regardless of how long the shareholder has held the Fund
shares. Distributions on Fund shares shortly after their purchase, although in
effect a return of a portion of the purchase price, are generally subject to
Federal income tax. Distributions declared by a Fund in October, November or
December of any calendar
<PAGE>
year to shareholders of record as of a date in such month and paid the
following January will be treated for Federal income tax purposes as having been
received by the shareholder on December 31 of the year in which they are
declared.
In order to avoid Federal excise tax, the Code requires that each Fund
distribute (or be deemed to have distributed) by December 31 of each calendar
year at least 98% of its ordinary income for such year, at least 98% of the
excess of its realized capital gains over its realized capital losses for the
one-year period ending on October 31 of such year or, at the election of a Fund
with a taxable year ending on December 31, for such taxable year and 100% of any
income and capital gains from the prior year (as previously computed) that was
not paid out during such year and on which the Fund paid no Federal income tax.
A Fund may be subject to foreign withholding or other foreign taxes with
respect to income (possibly including, in some cases, capital gains) that it
derives from investments in foreign securities and may make an election under
Section 853 of the Code that would allow shareholders to claim a credit or
deduction on their Federal income tax returns for (and treat as additional
amounts distributed to them) their pro rata portion of qualified taxes paid by
such Fund to foreign countries. This election may be made only if more than 50%
of the assets of the Fund at the close of a taxable year consists of securities
in foreign corporations. Availability of foreign tax credits or deductions for
shareholders is subject to certain additional restrictions and limitations at
the Fund and shareholder levels.
Annually, shareholders of each Fund that are not exempt from information
reporting requirements will receive information on Form 1099 to assist in
reporting the prior calendar year's distributions and redemptions (including
exchanges) on Federal and state income tax returns. Shareholders should consult
their own tax advisers with respect to the tax status of distributions from the
Funds or the redemption (including an exchange) of Fund shares in their own
states and localities. Under Section 3406 of the Code, individuals and other
non-exempt shareholders will be subject to backup withholding of 31% on taxable
distributions made by a Fund and on the proceeds of redemptions (including
exchanges) of shares of the Fund if they fail to provide to a Fund their correct
taxpayer identification numbers and certain required certifications or if the
Internal Revenue Service or a broker notifies a Fund that the number furnished
by the shareholder is incorrect or that the shareholder is otherwise subject to
such withholding. If such withholding is applicable, such distributions and
proceeds will be reduced by the amount of tax required to be withheld.
Special tax rules apply to IRA accounts (including penalties on certain
distributions and other transactions) and to other special classes of investors,
such as tax-exempt organizations, banks or insurance companies. Investors should
consult their tax advisers for more information.
Shareholders who are not United States persons should also consult their
tax advisers about the potential application of certain U.S. taxes, including a
U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate) on distributions
representing ordinary income to them (including foreign taxes deemed to be paid
by them), and of foreign taxes to their investment in the Funds.
<PAGE>
HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES
Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for shares of any other Fund, or for
shares of the Wright International Blue Chip Fund of The Wright Managed Equity
Trust or the Wright U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund of The Wright Managed Income
Trust, at net asset value at the time of the exchange. This exchange offer is
available only in states where shares of such other fund may be legally sold.
Each exchange is subject to a minimum initial investment of $1,000. Shares
acquired under the exchange privilege may be re-exchanged for shares of any of
the above funds at net asset value.
Shareholders purchasing shares from an Authorized Dealer may effect
exchanges between the above funds through their Authorized Dealer who will
transmit information regarding the requested exchanges to the Transfer Agent.
Participating bank trust departments and other institutional Wright clients
who are eligible to invest directly in the Wright Managed Investment Funds
("Institutional Investors") may also exchange shares of a Fund at a price equal
to the net asset value for those of the Wright Managed Investment Funds: Wright
Government Obligations Fund, Wright Near Term Bond Fund, Wright Total Return
Bond Fund, Wright Insured Tax-Free Bond Fund, Wright Current Income Fund, Wright
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, Wright Quality Core Equities Fund, Wright
Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund, Wright Junior Blue Chip Equities Fund and
Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund. The term Institutional Investors
includes banks, insurance companies, professional investment advisers,
broker/dealers, financial institutions, municipalities, professional trustees,
pension plans, other fiduciaries, and similar institutions who have a
relationship with Wright in addition to or other than as a shareholder of the
Wright EquiFunds or the Wright Managed Investment Funds.
The Shareholder Services Group, Inc. makes exchanges at the next determined
net asset value after receiving a request in writing mailed to the address
provided under "How To Buy Shares."
Telephone exchanges are also accepted if the exchange involves shares
valued at less than $25,000 and on deposit with The Shareholder Services Group,
Inc. All shareholders are automatically eligible for the telephone exchange
privilege. To effect such exchanges, call The Shareholder Services Group, Inc.
at 800-262-1122 or, within Massachusetts, 617-573-9403, Monday through Friday,
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). All such telephone exchanges must be
registered in the same name(s) and with the same address and social security or
other taxpayer identification number as are registered with the Fund from which
the exchange is being made. See "How to Redeem Or Sell Shares - By Telephone"
for a description of the procedures the Funds employ to ensure that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine. None of the Trust, the Funds, the
Distributor or The Shareholder Services Group, Inc. will be responsible for the
authenticity of exchange instructions received by telephone, provided that
reasonable procedures have been followed to confirm that instructions
communicated are genuine, and if such procedures are not followed, the Trust,
the Funds, the Distributor or The Shareholder Services Group, Inc. may be liable
for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.
Telephone instructions
<PAGE>
will be tape recorded. In times of drastic economic or market changes, a
telephone exchange may be difficult to implement. Generally, shareholders will
be limited to four Telephone Exchange round-trips per year and a Fund may refuse
requests for Telephone Exchanges in excess of four round-trips (a round-trip
being the exchange out of the Fund into another Wright Fund, and then back to
the Fund). The Trust believes that use of the Exchange Privilege by investors
utilizing market-timing strategies adversely affects the Funds. Therefore, the
Trust generally will not honor requests for exchanges, including Telephone
Exchanges, by shareholders identified by the Trust as "market-timers." When
calling to make a telephone exchange, shareholders should have available their
account number and social security or other taxpayer identification numbers.
Additional documentation may be required for exchange requests if shares
are registered in the name of a corporation, partnership or fiduciary. Any
exchange request may be rejected by a Fund or the Principal Underwriter at its
discretion. The exchange privilege may be changed or discontinued without
penalty at any time. Shareholders will be given 60 days' prior notice of any
termination or material amendment of the exchange privilege. Contact the
Transfer Agent, The Shareholder Services Group, Inc., for additional information
concerning the Exchange Privilege.
A shareholder should read the prospectus of the other fund and consider the
differences in objectives and policies before making any exchange. Shareholders
should be aware that for Federal and state income tax purposes, an exchange is a
taxable transaction which may result in recognition of a gain or loss.
HOW TO REDEEM OR SELL SHARES
Shares of a Fund will be redeemed at the net asset value next determined
after receipt of a redemption request in good order as described below. Proceeds
will be mailed within seven days of such receipt. However, at various times a
Fund may be requested to redeem shares for which it has not yet received good
payment. If the shares to be redeemed represent an investment made by check,
each Fund will delay payment of the redemption proceeds until the check has been
collected which, depending upon the location of the issuing bank, could take up
to 15 days. For Federal and state income tax purposes, a redemption of shares is
a taxable transaction which may result in recognition of a gain or loss.
Through Authorized Dealers: Shareholders using Authorized Dealers may
redeem shares through such Dealers.
By Telephone: All shareholders are automatically eligible for the telephone
redemption privilege. Shareholders may effect a redemption by calling the Funds'
Order Department at 800-225-6265, (8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). In
times when the volume of telephone redemptions is heavy, additional phone lines
will automatically be added by the Funds. However, in times of drastic economic
or market changes, a telephone redemption may be difficult to implement. When
calling to make a telephone redemption, shareholders should have available their
account number. A telephone redemption will be made at that day's net asset
value, provided that the telephone redemption request is received prior to 4:00
p.m. on that day. Telephone redemption
<PAGE>
requests received after 4:00 p.m. will be effected at
the net asset value determined for the next trading day. Payment will be made by
check to the address of record or, if an appropriate election was made on the
application form, by wire transfer to the bank account or address designated.
Payment is normally made within one business day after receipt of the redemption
request in good order. Participating Trust Departments may make redemptions and
deposit the proceeds in checking or other accounts of clients, as specified in
instructions furnished to the Funds at the time of initially purchasing Fund
shares. None of the Trust, the Funds, the Distributor or The Shareholder
Services Group, Inc. will be responsible for the authenticity of redemption
instructions received by telephone, provided that reasonable procedures have
been followed to confirm that instructions communicated are genuine, and if
such procedures are not followed, the Trust, the Funds, the Distributor or The
Shareholder Services Group, Inc. may be liable for any losses due to
unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.
By Mail: A shareholder may also redeem all or any number of shares at any
time by mail by delivering the request with a stock power to the Transfer Agent,
The Shareholder Services Group, Inc., BOS725, P.O. Box 1559, Boston,
Massachusetts 02104. As in the case of telephone requests, payments will
normally be made within one business day after receipt of the redemption request
in good order. Good order means that written redemption requests or stock powers
must be endorsed by the record owner(s) exactly as the shares are registered and
the signature(s) must be guaranteed by a member of either the Securities
Transfer Association's STAMP program or the NYSE's Medallion Signature Program,
or certain banks, savings and loan institutions, credit unions, securities
dealers, securities exchanges, clearing agencies and registered securities
associations as required by a regulation of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and acceptable to The Shareholder Services Group, Inc. In addition,
in some cases, good order may require furnishing of additional documents such as
where shares are registered in the name of a corporation, partnership or
fiduciary.
The right to redeem shares of a Fund and to receive payment therefor may be
suspended at times (a) when the securities markets are closed, other than
customary weekend and holiday closings, (b) when trading is restricted for any
reason, (c) when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by a Fund of
securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably
practicable for a Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets, or (d)
when the Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits a suspension of the
right of redemption or a postponement of the date of payment or redemption.
Due to the relatively high costs of maintaining small accounts, each Fund
reserves the right to redeem fully at net asset value any Fund account
(including accounts of clients of fiduciaries) which at any time, due to
redemptions or exchanges, amounts to less than $500 for that Fund; any
shareholder who makes a partial redemption which reduces his account in a Fund
to less than $500 would be subject to the Fund's right to redeem such account.
Prior to the execution of any such redemption, notice will be sent and the
shareholder will be allowed 60 days from the date of notice to make an
additional investment to meet the required minimum of $500 per Fund. However, no
such redemption would be required by a Fund if the cause of the low account
balance was a reduction in the net asset value of Fund shares.
<PAGE>
PERFORMANCE AND YIELD INFORMATION
From time to time a Fund may publish its yield and/or average annual total
return in advertisements and communications to shareholders. The current yield
for a Fund will be calculated by dividing the net investment income per share
during a recent 30-day period by the maximum offering price per share of the
Fund on the last day of the period. The results are compounded on a bond
equivalent (semi-annual) basis and then annualized. A Fund's average annual
total return is determined by computing the annual percentage change in value of
$1,000 invested at the public offering price (i.e., net asset value per share)
for specified periods ending with the most recent calendar quarter, assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value.
Investors should note that the investment results of a Fund will fluctuate
over time, and any presentation of a Fund's current yield or total return for
any prior period should not be considered as a representation of what an
investment may earn or what an investor's yield or total return may be in any
future period. The reduction of fees or assumption of expenses by Wright, WISDI
or Eaton Vance will result in a Fund's higher performance.
OTHER INFORMATION
The Trust is a business trust established under Massachusetts law and is an
open-end management investment company. The Trust was established pursuant to a
Declaration of Trust dated July 14, 1989, as amended and restated December 20,
1989 and further amended April 13, 1995 to change the name of the Trust from
EquiFund - Wright National Fiduciary Equity Funds to The Wright EquiFund Equity
Trust. The Trust consists of nineteen series. Each Fund's activities are
supervised by the Trustees of the Trust.
Although each Fund is offering only its own shares, since the Funds use
this combined Prospectus, it is possible that a Fund might become liable for a
misstatement or omission in this Prospectus regarding another Fund. The Trustees
have considered this factor in approving the use of a combined Prospectus.
The Trust's shares of beneficial interest have no par value and may be
issued in two or more series or "funds." The Trustees are empowered by the
Declaration of Trust and By-laws to change the name of any existing series and
to create additional series without obtaining shareholder approval. The Trust's
shares may be issued in an unlimited number by its Trustees. Each share of a
series represents an equal proportionate beneficial interest in that series and,
when issued and outstanding, the shares are fully paid and non-assessable by the
relevant series. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held.
Fractional shares may be voted in proportion to the amount of the net asset
value of a series which they
<PAGE>
represent. Voting rights are not cumulative, which means that the holders
of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of Trustees of the Trust
can elect 100% of the Trustees and, in such event, the holders of the remaining
less than 50% of the shares voting on the matter will not be able to elect any
Trustees. As of March 31, 1995, Clement and Linda McGillicuddy of
Charlottesville, VA were the record holders of 44.2% of the outstanding shares
of the Italy Fund; Resources Trust Co., P.O. Box 3865, Englewood, CO was the
record holder of 63.2%, 32.8%, 54.5%, 97.7%, 75.4%, 24.7%, 86.7% and 76.9%,
respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Spain,
Belgium/Luxembourg, Japan, Mexico, Nordic and Switzerland Funds held on behalf
of its clients; and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., 101 Montgomery Street, San
Francisco, CA was the record holder of 41.7%, 44.5% and 26.0%, respectively, of
the outstanding shares of the Italy, Mexico and Hong Kong Funds held on behalf
of its clients. Shares will be voted by individual series except to the extent
required by the 1940 Act. Shares have no preemptive or conversion rights and are
freely transferable. Upon liquidation of a series, shareholders are entitled to
share pro rata in the net assets of that series available for distribution to
shareholders, and in any general assets of the Trust not allocated to a
particular series by the Trustees.
As permitted by Massachusetts law, there will normally be no meetings of
shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless and until such time as
less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by
shareholders. In such an event the Trustees then in office will call a
shareholders' meeting for the election of Trustees. Except for the foregoing
circumstances and unless removed by action of the shareholders in accordance
with the Trust's By-laws, the Trustees shall continue to hold office and may
appoint successor Trustees. The Trustees shall only be liable in cases of their
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of their
duties.
The Trust's By-laws provide that no person shall serve as a Trustee if
shareholders holding two-thirds of the outstanding shares have removed him from
that office either by a written declaration filed with the Trust's custodian or
by votes cast at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees shall promptly
call a meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of voting upon a question of
removal of a Trustee when requested so to do by the record holders of not less
than 10% of the Trust's outstanding shares.
TAX-SHELTERED RETIREMENT PLANS
The Funds may be suitable investments for Individual Retirement Account
Plans for individuals and their non-employed spouses, Pension and Profit Sharing
Plans for self-employed individuals,
<PAGE>
corporations and non-profit organizations, or 401(k) tax-sheltered
retirement plans. The minimum initial purchase of $1,000 per Fund may be waived
for investments by 401(k) plans.

APPENDIX
-----------------------------------
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE NATIONS
IN WHICH THE FUNDS WILL INVEST
The Funds (other than the United States Fund) will invest in securities
quoted or denominated in the currencies of countries other than the United
States. The following summaries are designed to provide a general discussion of
economic and other conditions in each of these countries. The information in
these summaries has been derived from sources that Wright believes to be
reliable, but the data has not been independently verified.
International investments, like many things, have both benefits and risks.
The benefits are real and can be quite substantial. One of the key benefits is
diversification, as the correlation among international securities tend to be
much lower than the correlation among securities within any single country.
There are also risks to be considered. Investors in any single country should
understand the economic potential of investments in such a country as well as
the relationship of the currency of that country to the investor's own currency.
Several other items must be considered by the investor including the reliability
of information about the various companies within the country, legal
restrictions, and the economic and social characteristics that are unique to
each country. See Appendix B in the Statement of Additional Information for
additional economic and financial information about countries in which the Funds
may invest. The Wright EquiFunds limit their investment consideration to the
world's major industrialized nations and to those nations for which
WORLDSCOPE(R), the information database of Wright Investors' Service, provides
comprehensive and reliable investment information. Wright Investors' Service
believes that WORLDSCOPE(R) has counteracted the lack of quality information
which has been a major problem for the international investor.
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Potential international investors must be aware of political and economic
actions which might change the investment environment. For example, the members
of the European Union (EU) (successor to the European Communities EC, the Common
Market), which is the designation of three organizations (the European Economic
Community or EEC, the European Coal and Steel Community, and the European Atomic
Energy Community) with common membership and, since July of 1967, a common
executive, have agreed that a single European market will remove all barriers to
free trade and free movement of capital and people. The effect of European
unification
<PAGE>
will be to create a major economic trading unit composed of the
entire fifteen members of the EU (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands,
Portugal, Spain, and Sweden). The macroeconomic effects of such unification
could be substantially higher economic growth. Economies of scale and lower
costs could lead to reduced inflation while fiscal reform and budget restraint
might reduce budget deficits despite an initial higher rate of unemployment. It
is not possible to predict the precise impact of European unity or if all the
program goals incorporated in the Maastricht Treaty of 1991 will be achieved.
However, Wright believes that European economic integration offering substantial
long-term economic benefits to the member nations will ultimately come to pass.
The European Currency Unit (ECU) is the official accounting unit of the EEC
and, as such, is used by member nations for budgetary purposes in setting common
agricultural prices and in the accounts of the EU institutions since the
implementation of the European Monetary System (EMS) in March of 1979. The major
aim of the EMS is to achieve close monetary and economic cooperation among the
member countries of the EU and, in particular, to create a zone of monetary
stability. The ECU is an open-basket currency whose value is based on the
weighted value of the member currencies with weights based on each member's
share of intra-Europe trade and the relative size of its GDP. Each member nation
values its currency in terms of the ECU. Nine of the member currencies (Dutch
guilder, German mark, Austrian schilling, Belgian franc, Portuguese escudo,
Danish prone, French franc, Irish punt and Spanish peseta) form the EMS grid. If
an EMS grid member's currency deviates more than 15% (2.25% for the mark and
guilder) of the agreed central rates against the other members of the mechanism,
the member nation must take steps to correct the problem or to either devalue or
revalue its currency. Following the currency turmoil of 1992, Great Britain and
Italy withdrew from the EMS's exchange Rate mechanism effectively devaluing the
pound and the lira. They have remained outside the EMS but continue to measure
the value of their currency against the EMS grid. Spain and Italy devalued their
currency against the EMS grid in March of 1995.
The "official ECU" is used between European monetary authorities to settle
debts they incur with one another as a result of their interventions in the
currency markets. There is also a private or commercial ECU, the use of which
has increased substantially over the last few years. Its stature increased with
the issue of the first Euro-ECU bonds in 1981, and it is now one of the most
widely used currencies for international bond issuance. The ECU enjoys greater
popularity than was envisioned at its inception in 1979. It is known far beyond
Europe as a currency unit freely convertible into all major currencies. It is
widely used to price, invoice, and settle transactions involving goods and
services. Thousands of Europeans now use ECU's to buy cars, pay hotel bills or
transact other business on ECU credit cards and on ECU-denominated checking
accounts or travelers checks.
There are other examples of political and economic events, some quite
dramatic, which impact the investment environment. In the past decade, there has
been world-wide movement towards "privatization" of government owned and
operated companies. Examples include the water companies
<PAGE>
in the Great Britain, the banks in France, etc. The economies of Austria
and Portugal are especially expected to benefit from privatization in the coming
years.
Recent dramatic developments in the former Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc
nations, China, Central America, and South Africa can be expected to have a
major, but as yet not fully predictable, impact on the world in general and the
nations in which the Fund will invest in particular. It remains to be seen if
the fledgling democracies can successfully cope with the many economic
dislocations which have accompanied the fall of the old order. It also remains
to be seen what reactions other nations will have towards a reduced Soviet
military threat and potential for increased trade.
The dismantling of the Berlin Wall in November of 1989 led to the economic
unification of the economically weak East Germany with the economically strong
West Germany in July 1990. This was followed by the political unification on
October 3, 1990.
The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) consisting of Austria, Iceland,
Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland with associated member Finland, was
created in January of 1960 with the objective to gradually reduce customs duties
and quantitative restrictions between members on industrial products. All
tariffs and quotas were eliminated by year-end 1966. EFTA entered into
free-trade agreements with the EU in January of 1973. Trade barriers were
removed by July 1976. EFTA is expected to expand to include Central European
countries. The world-wide trade movement towards increasingly Free Market
economies has been helped by the establishment of the World Trade Organization
(WTO) successor to GATT.
Members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) (Belgium, Canada,
Denmark, France, Great Britain, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal, the United States, Greece, Turkey, Germany, and Spain) agreed to
settle disputes by peaceful means, to develop individual and collective capacity
to resist armed attack, and to regard an attack on one as an attack on all. With
the demise of the former Warsaw Pact nations of the communist world, political
tensions in Europe appear to have materially eased.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) was
established in September of 1961 to promote economic and social welfare in
member countries and to stimulate and harmonize efforts on behalf of developing
nations. The OECD collects and disseminates from its Paris headquarters economic
and environmental information to members which represent nearly all the
industrialized "free market" countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Great
Britain, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand,
Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United States and with
Yugoslavia as an associate member.
<PAGE>
RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN INVESTMENT
Another issue which must be addressed by global investors is the
possibility of investment restrictions. Some countries impose restrictions on
foreigners investing in their country. These restrictions may limit the amount
of foreign investment or in some cases create a separate class of securities
which may be purchased by foreigner investors at a different price from similar
securities purchased by domestic investment. The countries in which the Funds
will invest do not impose restrictions on portfolio investments although Sweden
and Switzerland do have two classes of shares (see below) while Italy, Sweden,
and Japan do have some special regulations which the Fund must comply with.
Other potential pitfalls to foreign investment include high transaction costs,
including brokerage fees, stock turnover taxes, exchange rates, and
miscellaneous costs. These vary widely by type of investment and by country.
Consideration must also be given to withholding taxes. Most countries levy
non-refundable withholding taxes on interest and dividend income earned by
non-residents on domestic investments. The withholding tax rates disclosed below
are subject to changes. While the existence of reciprocal tax treaties between
many countries may to some extent mitigate that impact, such treaties are
frequently not available to institutions such as open-ended mutual funds. Note
that unlike in the U.S. and Canada, where dividends are geneally paid quarterly,
dividends in most nations are paid only once (annually) or twice (semi-annually)
a year. Liquidity or the ability of an investor to dispose of his or her
holdings quickly at a reasonable cost may be a special concern with foreign
investments. Sometimes there may be difficulties involved in selling instruments
in those countries where secondary markets are not broad or actively traded.
Political or sovereign risk is still another concern. This addresses the issue
of whether the government may take action which would reduce the value of an
investor's assets. The industrial nations involved with the Funds are basically
stable and, except as noted under Political and Economic Considerations above,
it is not believed that there would be a significant change due to an election
or revolution. However, one nation, Hong Kong, will be taken over by the Chinese
government in 1997 and there is considerable uncertainty as to the impact of
such a takeover.
The size of the markets is another concern. In December of 1994, FT
Actuaries/Goldman Sachs calculated the world equity market at some U.S. $9,186
billion. This market is dominated by the U.S. ($3,296 billion) and Japan ($2,747
billion). Other nations of significant size include Switzerland ($225 billion),
Italy ($133 billion), France ($330 billion), Canada ($148 billion), Germany
($339 billion), and Great Britain ($905 billion). In 1991, world equity markets
posted sharp advances despite concerns about the U.S. deficit, world debt and
recession in a good part of the world. In 1994, the Financial Times Actuaries
World Index, which is composed of around 2,200 securities from 24 nations,
posted a total return of 5.8% in 1994 in terms of U.S. dollars. The FT-Actuaries
World Index showed a total return of 19.8% for 1993 following a 5.1% decline in
1992. Following is a table summarizing the market capital, total return
performance, price/earnings ratios and normal settlement time.

COUNTRY SUMMARIES
------------------------
AUSTRALIA is located southeast of Asia. The Indian Ocean is west and south, the
Pacific Ocean is east. The population, which is growing at 1.5% a year, is
estimated to be 18 million with a density of 6 people per square mile. Major
cities are Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. Iron, steel,
textiles, electrical equipment, chemicals, autos, aircraft, ships, machinery,
cattle, and wool are the chief industries. The currency is the Australian dollar
(December 1994: AUD 1.29 = $1 U.S). The Gross Domestic Product was U.S. $281
billion in 1993, or about $15,911 per capita. The 1994 current account trade
balance is estimated to have been negative $13 billion. According to the OECD,
real GDP growth was around 4.3% in 1994 and should average around 4.0% per year
in 1995-96.
Australia is a major power in the Southeast Pacific with close ties to
Japan and Southeast Asia. It is an important agricultural nation and is the
world's primary wool producer. There are seven stock exchanges in Australia with
the major ones being the Australian Stock Exchange and the Sydney Stock Exchange
both based in Sydney; Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne and Perth. Dividends
on Australian shares are usually paid semi-annually. Companies occasionally
issue bonus shares which, since they are issued without any corresponding
capital inflow, automatically dilute shareholders' value. However, shareholders
wealth is unaffected and, as the dividend rate is usually maintained on the
increased number of shares, a bonus issue effectively results in the increase of
the dividend return. Australia has always relied on foreign capital to assist in
financing economic development. Foreigners are free to invest in most sectors of
the economy. Exchange controls were, for the most part, abolished at the end of
1983. Those that remain are essentially designed to combat international tax
avoidance.
Dividends are exempt from withholding tax to the extent they qualify as
franked dividends. In general, dividends are franked if they are paid out of
profits that have borne corporate income tax at the full rate of 39%. If the
dividends are unfranked, a final withholding tax of 30% is levied.
AUSTRIA is located in southcentral Europe. Its neighbors are Switzerland,
Liechtenstein, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Italy. The
population is estimated to be 8 million. Major cities are Vienna, Graz and Linz.
Steel, machinery, autos, electrical and optical equipment, glassware, sport
goods, paper, textiles, chemicals and cement are the chief industries. The
currency is the Schilling (December 1994: ATS 11.10 = $1 U.S.). The Gross
Domestic Product was $190 billion in 1993, or $23,750 per capita. Agriculture
makes up 3% of the GDP, the industrial section 38% and the service sector 59%.
Defense spending is 1.2% of the GDP while education spending equals 6.0%. The
1993 current account trade balance was negative $926 million. Austria joined the
European Union in 1994.

The relatively small size of Austria's securities markets may make it
difficult for the Austrian National Fiduciary Equity Fund to effect purchases or
sales of portfolio securities without causing an increase or decrease in the
market price of such securities. The trading activities of competing investment
companies may also have an adverse effect on securities prices or reduce the
availability of securities appropriate for inclusion in the Fund's portfolio.
Frequently, trading in Austria is accomplished "off-exchange" through banks
which may also serve as broker/dealers and investment advisers. Since these
banks may simultaneously be dealing for their own account or the account of
clients in such instances, such "off-exchange" trading could involve conflicts
of interest.
Austria produces most of its food as well as an array of industrial
products. Historically, a large part of the economy is controlled by state
enterprises but this is changing through the increasing privatization of such
enterprises. The rate of non-refundable dividend withholding tax is currently
20%.
BELGIUM is located in northwest Europe on the North Sea. The population is
estimated to be 10 million. There are two main ethnic groups. The Dutch-speaking
Flemish make up about 60% of the population located in the north and west of the
country; and the French-speaking Walloons account for the remaining 40% and are
located to the south and east. The divisions between these two groups are not
only linguistic but also economic, social and cultural. Brussels is officially
bi-lingual, and English and German are widely used for business purposes and by
visitors. Major cities are Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Charleroi and Liege. Steel,
glassware, diamond cutting, textiles and chemicals are the chief industries. The
currency is the Belgian Franc (December 1994: BEF 31.83 = $1 U.S.). The Gross
Domestic Product was $218 billion in 1992, or $21,750 per capita. The 1993
current account trade balance was positive $7.4 billion. Belgium is a member of
the European Union.
Exchange control is mainly concerned that settlements with foreign
countries are made through the appropriate exchange market. There are, in
general, no restrictions on portfolio investments. The rate of non-refundable
dividend withholding tax is currently 25%.
CANADA, the world's second largest country, is located in North America,
southward from the North Pole to the U.S. border. The population is estimated to
be 27 million. Canada is divided into ten provinces and two territories. It is
an urban society with most of the principal cities located close to the U.S.
border. Both English and French are official languages, but French predominates
in the Province of Quebec where it is the official working language while
English is used throughout the rest of the country. Major cities are Montreal,
Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa-Hull, Edmonton, Calgary, and Quebec. Mining, oil and
gas, paper and forest products, consumer products, industrial products,
chemicals, real estate, construction, transportation, finance, and
<PAGE>
communications are the chief industries. The currency is the Canadian dollar
(December 1994: CAD 1.40 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $539 billion
in 1993, or about $20,000 per capita. The 1993 current account trade balance was
negative $21.9 billion. Canada is a participant in the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) along with the U.S.A. and Mexico.
The market value of equity shares of domestic companies on the Toronto
Exchange, the largest of the five exchanges, on December 31, 1992 was around
$200 billion. There is also a large over the counter market run by approximately
200 broker/dealers and a few banks. Dividends on common shares are usually paid
quarterly. Calgary, Winnipeg, Montreal, and Vancouver also have stock exchanges.
Canada has no restrictions on foreign exchange. The non-refundable dividend
withholding tax rate is currently 25%.
DENMARK is located in northern Europe, separating the North and Baltic Seas. The
population is estimated to be around 5 million. Major cities are Copenhagen and
Arhus. Machinery, textiles, furniture, electronics and dairy are the chief
industries. The currency is the Danish Krone (December 1994: DKK 6.09 = $1
U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $128 billion in 1993, or around $25,800
per capita. The 1993 current account trade balance was positive $4.5 billion.
Denmark is a member of the European Union.
There are no restrictions on portfolio investments. The non-refundable
dividend withholding tax rate is currently 30%.
FINLAND is located in northern Europe. Its neighbors are Norway, Sweden and
Russia. The population is estimated to be 5 million. Major cities are Helsinki,
Tampere and Turku. Machinery, metal, ship building, textiles and clothing are
the chief industries. The currency is the Finnish Markka (December 1994: FIM
4.74 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $101 billion in 1993, or about
$21,000 per capita. The 1993 current account trade balance was negative $820
million. Finland is a member of the European Union.
Purchases of shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange (the only Stock Exchange
in Finland) or OTC (second tier) market are not subject to restriction. The
non-refundable dividend withholding tax rate is currently 25% to non-residents.
FRANCE, the largest country in western Europe, is located between the Atlantic
Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The population is estimated to be 57 million.
Major cities are Paris, Marseille, Toulousek Nice, Nantes, Strasbourg, and
Bourdeaux. Steel, chemicals, autos, textiles, wine, perfume, aircraft and
electronic equipment are the chief industries. The currency is the French Franc
(December 1994: FRF 5.35 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $1,204
billion in 1993, or around $22,000 per capita. The 1993 current account trade
balance was
<PAGE>
negative $10 billion. France is a member of the European Union. Portfolio
investment is generally not restricted. The non-refundable dividend withholding
tax rate is currently 25%.
GERMANY is located in central Europe with Denmark on the north, Netherlands,
Belgium, Luxembourg and France on the west, Switzerland and Austria on the south
and Poland and Czechoslovakia to the east. The dismantling of the Berlin Wall in
November 1989 led to the economic unification of East and West Germany in July
of 1990. Political unification followed on October 3, 1990. The population is
estimated to be 81 million. Major cities are Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne,
Frankfurt, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Leipzig, Dresden and Stuttgart. Steel, ships,
autos, machinery, coal and chemicals are the chief industries. The currency is
the Deutschemark (December 1994: DEM 1.55 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product
for Western Germany was $1,646 billion in 1993, or about $20,500 per capita.
Germany is a member of the European Union.
Frankfurt is the largest of the eight stock exchanges in Germany, and is
considered the center of trading activity. Hamburg and Munich are also
important, while Berlin, Dusseldorf, Hanover, Bremen, and Stuttgart are regional
exchanges only. The equity market is not considered to be an especially
important component of Germany's capital markets since equity issues are not a
major source of financing for German corporations. The shares of approximately
600 companies are listed for trading on stock exchanges, but perhaps only 100 or
so of these would be considered suitable for investor trading as many issues
listed are tightly controlled private groups and banks. Equity markets in
Germany are dominated by the German Banks and most brokerage is conducted
through the major banks, all of which have seats on the major exchanges. There
are two basic types of German companies: Aktiengesellschaft (AG) represents an
independent legal entity formed by Articles of Incorporation. AG shares are
fully transferable and eligible to be traded on German stock exchanges. They are
normally registered unless the company by-laws allow for bearer shares. The
second type of company is Beschrankter (GmbH) which is similar to the AG, but
the shares are not freely transferrable and cannot be traded on a stock
exchange. There are no portfolio investment restrictions. The non-refundable
dividend withholding tax rate is currently 25%.
GREAT BRITAIN is the principal port of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland, located on an island off the northwest coast of Europe and
comprising of England, Scotland and Wales. The population is estimated to be 58
million. Major cities are London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Sheffield,
Manchester and Edinburgh. Steel, metals, vehicles, shipbuilding, shipping,
banking, insurance, textiles, chemicals, electronics, aircraft machinery and
distilling are the chief industries. The currency is the English Pound (December
1994: GBP 1 = $1.56 U.S.)
<PAGE>
The Gross Domestic Product was $983 billion in 1993, or about $17,000 per
capita. The 1993 current account trade balance was negative $16 billion. The
United Kingdom is a member of the European Union.
The London Stock Exchange is the oldest and the largest security exchange
in Great Britain. There are 13 provincial exchanges which, with London, make up
the International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of
Ireland. Most of the securities trading in Great Britain takes place on the
London Stock Exchange although trading facilities are still maintained on the
floor of the Provincial exchanges. The equity markets in Great Britain are
considered to be among the most highly developed in the World. All exchange
controls and restrictions were removed in 1979. The non-refundable dividend
withholding tax rate is currently 25%.
HONG KONG, a Crown Colony, is located at the mouth of the Canton River in China,
90 miles south of Canton. The population is estimated to be 5.7 million. English
and Cantonese are the languages of commerce. Textiles, apparel, tourism,
shipbuilding, iron and steel, fishing, cement and small manufacturers are the
chief industries. The currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (December 1994: HKD 7.74
= $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was estimated at $108.7 billion in 1993,
or about $19,094 per capita. The 1991 current account trade balance was positive
$2 billion.
The governments of the United Kingdom and the Peoples Republic of China
(PRC) have entered into an agreement whereby sovereignty over Hong Kong will be
restored to the PRC July 1, 1997. Hong Kong will then be a special
administrative region with its own law for another fifty years (up to 2047).
There is considerable uncertainty as to the impact of the Chinese takeover. It
is possible that the Chinese takeover will accelerate the departure of capital
and productive individuals. Hong Kong developed from a trading zone into a major
manufacturing and financial center of world importance after the outbreak of the
Korean War. It has an excellent economic infra-structure with highly developed
international communications, and transportation, as well as local roads,
subways and water transportation. However, the influx of refugees from other
Asian countries may strain Hong Kong's economic and social resources and
structure. The Colony's financial institutions have been reconstituted following
the 1987 world markets crash and they have successfully withstood subsequent
pressures. The stock market crash of 1987 and subsequent arrest on corruption
charges of the chairman and several other top officials of the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange precipitated major reform including the establishment of the powerful
new Securities and Futures Commission which began operations in May of 1989. The
government has taken the position that the territory must steer a delicate
course between overregulation and underregulation.
<PAGE>
Hong Kong's investment and trade ties with the Peoples Republic of China
are significantly increasing. The PRC presently makes up about 38% of imports
into Hong Kong, and re-exports from the PRC constitute a large percentage of
Hong Kong's total exports. It is to be expected that the Hong Kong stock market
will remain dependent upon prevailing perceptions of political developments in
China. Foreign enterprises are treated virtually the same as domestic
enterprises and there are no restrictions in exchange of foreign currencies or
on the repatriation of profits. Import and export licenses are easy to obtain.
There are no exchange controls, investment restrictions or dividend withholding
taxes.
THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND is the western-most nation of Europe, located in the
Atlantic Ocean just west of Britain. Population is estimated at 3.6 million,
one-eighth of which live in the capital city of Dublin. Important industries in
the national economy are food, textiles, chemicals, brewing, machinery, tourism
and services. The national currency of Ireland is the Pound (Punt), which at
December 31, 1994, was valued at IP 0.65 = $1 U.S. Gross Domestic Product was
U.S. $45 billion in 1993, or $12,600 per capita. The current account balance has
been running at a $2.5 billion (annual rate) surplus in recent years. The OECD
estimates that real GDP expanded 5.0% during 1994 and forecasts growth of around
4.5% in 1995 and 1996. No withholding tax is deducted from dividend payments
made by Irish companies. Ireland is a member of the European Union.
ITALY is located in southern Europe, jutting into the Mediterranean Sea. The
population is estimated to be 57 million. Major cities are Rome, Milan, Naples
and Turin. Steel, machinery, autos, textiles, shoes, machine tools and chemicals
are the chief industries. The currency is the Italian Lira (December 1994: ITL
1629 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $884 billion in 1993, or about
$16,000 per capita. The 1993 current account trade balance was negative $11
billion. Italy is a member of the European Union.
The Italian equity market is thin by North America and European standards.
It used to be common for settlements of Italian securities trades to be delayed
for as much as six months or to fail completely as a result of obsolete
technology and cumbersome settlement procedures. Settlements are much quicker
now although the central securities depository which has been in the planning
phase for approximately ten years is not yet operational and share certificates
must physically change hands every three days (cash deals) or at the end of the
monthly account which is usually the last day of the month. Investments in Italy
by non-residents may be made through capital accounts operated by authorized
banks and income and capital may be repatriated without restriction other than
the non-refundable dividend withholding tax, which is currently at 32.4%.
<PAGE>
JAPAN is located in the Archipelago off the east coast of Asia. The population
is estimated to be 124 million. Major cities are Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya,
Kyoto, Sapporo and Kobe. Electrical and electronic equipment, autos, machinery
and chemicals are the chief industries. The currency is the Japanese Yen
(December 1994: JPY 99.74 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $4,191
billion in 1993, or about $33,000 per capita. The 1993 current account trade
balance was positive $132 billion.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange is the largest of eight exchanges in Japan which
has very well developed primary and secondary equity markets. The price/earnings
ratios for Japanese securities have recently been much higher than typical
price/earnings ratios for U.S. securities. In 1989-92, however, the Japanese
stock market was in a steady downtrend; the Tokyo Stock Exchange lost more than
50% of its value in the four years following its December 1989 peak. All equity
securities business in Japan is conducted by security dealers. They trade on a
typical broker basis on commission. Japanese securities companies may trade on
their own accounts, but only to the extent necessary for the maintenance of a
fair and orderly market. Broker basis trading accounts for 70-75% of the value
of all stock trading. Portfolio investments of less than 10% are not restricted.
Dividends are currently subject to a non-refundable 20% dividend withholding
tax.
LUXEMBOURG is located in western Europe. The population is estimated to be 0.4
million. The major city is Luxembourg. Steel, chemicals, beer, tires, tobacco,
metal products, cement and financial services are the chief industries. The
currency is the Luxembourg Franc which is identical in value to the Belgian
Franc (December 1994: LUF 31.84 = $1 U.S.). French and German and Luxembourgish
(a mainly German dialect) are the official languages and most Luxembourgers are
fluent in all three. English is spoken by many Luxembourgers and is widely used
in business. The Gross Domestic Product was $11 billion in 1992, or about
$27,000 per capita. Luxembourg is a member of the European Union.
There are no investment restrictions. A dividend withholding tax of 15%
does not apply to holding companies.
MEXICO is a nation of 91 million people located in the southernmost part of
North America. Its capital city is Mexico City; other large cities include
Guadalajara and Monterrey. The official language is Spanish; however, English is
commonly used for international business. Steel, chemicals, electric goods,
textiles, petroleum and tourism are important industries. The national currency
of Mexico is the Peso, which was valued, at December 31, 1993, at MP 3.11 = $1
U.S. but was devalued in 1994 so that at December 31, 1994, the value was 5.33
to the U.S. dollar. It further depreciated in the first quarter of 1995 to
7.11/$. Gross Domestic Product was U.S. $327 billion in 1993, or $3,650 per
capita. The current account balance was U.S. $23 billion in deficit
<PAGE>
for 1993. The OECD estimates that real GDP grew 2.9% during 1994 and
forecasts growth rates of a little more than 4% in 1995 and in 1996.
Mexico is a democratic republic with a constitution. It has a federal and
representative form of government. There are 31 states and one federal district.
The President is the head of government and chief of state. It is still
considered to be an emerging nation. Although the ruling Institutional
Revolutionary Party (PRI) has been in power for more than 65 years, the recent
relative stability of the country is being called into question as the nation
struggles with the transition from a controlled to a more open democracy. The
January 1995 uprising of a rebel Indian group in the southern state of Chiapas
has still to be fully resolved. A new political scandal - the arrest of the
brother of former president Salinas for orchestrating a political assassination
- - has added to the uncertainty.
As a consequence of the peso's collapse, the Mexican economy is likely to
experience high interest rates, soaring inflation and no economic growth if not
an outright decline in GDP. Over the long run, it is hoped that the devaluation
will increase the attractiveness of Mexican exports, stimulate economic growth
and reduce Mexico's dependence on short-term foreign investment.
For all of 1994, the 40-stock Mexican IPC index declined 8.7% in pesos, but
the decline of the peso against the dollar resulted in a 42% decline in dollar
terms. For the first two months of 1995, the index declined an additional 35% in
pesos and 45% in dollars.
When dividends are distributed out of the balance on the net tax profit
account, no tax is charged. Dividends not distributed out of the balance on the
net tax profit account are subject to a 35% charge. The tax is charged by
grossing up the dividend declared. The balance on the net tax profit account is
computed by adding the sum of net tax profits for each year to the dividends
received from other resident companies and then subtracting the dividends paid
from the account.
NETHERLANDS is located in northwestern Europe on the North Sea. The population
is estimated to be 19 million. Major cities are Amsterdam, Rotterdam & Hague.
Metals, machinery, chemicals, oil refinery, diamond cutting, electronics and
tourism are the chief industries. The language spoken is Dutch. Most people in
business also speak English. The currency is the Dutch Guilder (December 1994:
NLG 1.74 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $295 billion in 1993, or
about $16,000 per capita. The 1993 current account trade balance was positive $9
billion. Netherlands is a member of the European Union.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange is the largest and all Dutch securities are
listed on it. It is also the oldest stock exchange in the world and perhaps the
only one that charges itself with the primary obligation of protecting
shareholders. However, the Dutch equity market although growing in trading
volume has not been particularly active. Domestic participation is primarily
institutional with perhaps only about 10 to 15 percent of Dutch households
owning equity shares.
<PAGE>
Dutch pension funds are also limited to having 3 to 5 percent of their
assets in equities and Dutch banks are prohibited from holding shares for more
than five years. There are no portfolio investment restrictions. There is a
non-refundable dividend withholding tax which is currently set at 25%.
NEW ZEALAND is mainly comprised of two islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean.
The population is estimated to be 3.5 million. Major cities include Wellington,
Auckland, Christchurch and Manakau. Food processing, fishing, textiles
(especially wool-related), forest products and machinery are the chief
industries. The currency is the New Zealand Dollar (December 1994: NZD 1.56 = $1
U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was U.S.$45 billion in 1993, or $13,000 per
capita. The current account trade balance was $932 million in 1993.
There are no investment restrictions unless 25% of the shares of a company
are purchased. The rate of the non-refundable dividend withholding tax is
currently 30%.
NORWAY occupies the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula in northwest
Europe. The population is estimated to be 4.3 million. Major cities are Oslo and
Bergen. Engineering, metals, chemicals, food processing, fishing, paper,
shipbuilding and oil and gas are the chief industries. The currency is the
Norwegian Kronor (December 1994: NOK 6.76 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product
was $97 billion in 1993, or about $23,000 per capita. The 1993 current account
trade balance was positive $2 billion.
No exchange control restrictions apply to portfolio investments by
foreigners in quoted companies although consent of the Bank of Norway may be
required to purchase more than a specified percentage of a company that owns
Norwegian real estate. The non-refundable dividend withholding tax rate is
currently 25%.
SPAIN is located in southwestern Europe. The population is estimated to be 39
million. Major cities are Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville. Machinery,
steel, textiles, shoes, autos and processed foods are the chief industries. The
currency is the Peseta (December 1994: ESP 131.74 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic
Product was $428 billion in 1993, or about $11,000 per capita. The 1993 current
account trade balance was negative $4 billion.
Spain does have some exchange controls although they have recently been
liberalized and further liberalization is expected as a result of Spain joining
the EU in January of 1986. Permission may be required for some transactions but
the ability to approve such transaction has been delegated to a number of
commercial banks who can both approve and handle the transactions. A few sectors
of the economy are subject to specific restrictions, including national defense,
mass media, and air transportation. Foreigners may freely invest in shares
listed on Spanish Stock Exchanges. The non-refundable dividend withholding tax
rate is currently 20%.
<PAGE>
SWEDEN is located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. The
population is estimated to be 8.8 million. Major cities are Stockholm, Goteborg
and Malmo. Steel, machinery, instruments, autos, shipbuilding, shipping and
paper are the chief industries. The currency is the Swedish Krona (December
1994: SEK 7.46 = $1 U.S.), The Gross Domestic Product was $174 billion in 1993,
or about $20,000 per capita. The 1993 current account trade balance was negative
$4 billion. Sweden is a member of the European Union.
Swedish companies by-laws frequently contain a stipulation restricting
foreign ownership to less than 40% of the share capital and less than 20% of the
voting power in the company, a rule which cannot normally be changed without the
government's consent. Shares which may be acquired by foreigners are called free
shares and are so designated on shares certificates. A Swedish company without
such a stipulation in its by-laws is regarded as "foreign" and is subject to
restrictions on foreign acquisition of real estate and natural resources, or
even from acquiring more than 20% of the voting rights of any other company.
Foreigners may deal without restriction in the free shares on the Stockholm
Stock Exchange, provided they do not exceed 10% of the share capital or voting
power. The "free share market" may behave quite differently from other markets.
This may be due to cultural characteristics of the Swedish shareholders or the
fact that foreigners in the "free market" can sell their shares and move into
other markets whereas the Swedes are seldom able to get permission to invest
abroad. The non-refundable dividend withholding tax rate is currently 30%.
SWITZERLAND is located in the Alps Mountains in Europe. The population is
estimated to be 6.9 million. Switzerland has four national languages: German,
French, Italian, and Romansh. Romansh is found on all Swiss bank notes. About
two thirds of the population speak a German dialect known as Schweizerdeutsch.
English is the most widely used foreign language in Swiss business. Major cities
are Zurich, Basel and Geneva. Machinery, machine tools, steel, instruments,
watches, textiles, foodstuffs (cheese, chocolate), chemicals, drugs, banking and
tourism are the chief industries. The currency is the Swiss Franc (December
1994: CHF 1.31 - $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $231 billion in 1993,
or about $34,000 per capita. The 1991 current account trade balance was positive
$17 billion.
Zurich Exchange is one of the largest in the world in terms of volume.
Switzerland's equity markets also include organized stock exchanges of Basel,
Geneva, Bern and Lausanne as well as the over the counter market. Trading is
active although the exchanges are relatively small by international standards.
Ordinary shares, participation certificates, warrants and mutual funds are
traded on Swiss secondary markets. Swiss common shares must be carefully
distinguished by type since most Swiss companies do not allow non-residents to
own Swiss registered shares. The types of shares are: Bearer - ordinary shares
which are fully voting common shares with full right to
<PAGE>
dividends and which typically sell for 25 percent premium over registered
shares; Registered - ordinary shares which are a fully voting common shares with
full rights and dividends (in November of 1988, Nestle broke the tradition of
prohibiting non-residents from owning registered shares and became the first
Swiss company to allow foreign ownership of registered shares) and Participation
and Dividend Right Certifications which are equity securities with full right to
dividends but no voting rights. Participation Certifications are otherwise fully
participating with common shares and can be purchased by non-residents. The
non-refundable dividend withholding tax rate is currently 35%.
UNITED STATES is a nation of 259 million people located in North America. The
U.S. economy is the world's largest, with 1994 Gross Domestic Product estimated
at $6.7 trillion or $25,900 per capita. The nation's current account deficit is
estimated at about $170 billion for 1994. Real GDP advanced by just under 4%
during 1994 and according to the OECD, the growth rate is likely to be around 3%
in 1995 before tapering off to around a 2.0% annual rate by the end of 1996.
There is no withholding on dividends paid to the Fund.

Unless otherwise required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act"), ordinarily it will not be necessary for the Trust to hold
annual meetings of shareholders. As a result, shareholders may not consider each
year the election of Trustees or the appointment of independent accountants.
Shareholders may remove a Trustee by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds
of the Trust's outstanding shares and the Trustees must promptly call a meeting
for such purpose when requested to do so in writing by the record holders of not
less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust. Shareholders may, under
certain circumstances, communicate with other shareholders in connection with
requesting a special meeting of shareholders. The Board of Trustees, however,
will call a special meeting for the purpose of electing Trustees if, at any
time, less than a majority of Trustees holding office at the time were elected
by shareholders.
The Trust's Declaration of Trust may be amended with the affirmative vote
of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trust or, if the interests of a
particular Wright EquiFund are affected, a majority of such Fund's outstanding
shares. The Trust may be terminated (i) upon the sale of the Trust's assets to
another open-end management investment company, if approved by the holders of
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust, except that if the Trustees
of the Trust recommend such sale of assets, the approval by the vote of a
majority of the Trust's outstanding shares will be sufficient; or (ii) upon
liquidation and distribution of the assets of the Trust, if approved by a
majority of its Trustees or by the vote of a majority of the Trust's outstanding
shares.
If not so terminated, the Trust may continue indefinitely.
The Trust's Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trust's Trustees
will not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law; however,
nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a Trustee against any liability to
which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of
his office.
<PAGE>
The Trust is an organization of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for the
obligations of the trust. The Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an express
disclaimer of shareholder liability in connection with the Trust property or the
acts, obligations or affairs of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust also
provides for indemnification out of the Trust property of any shareholder held
personally liable for the claims and liabilities to which a shareholder may
become subject by reason of being or having been a shareholder. Thus, 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.
Each Fund has retained The Winthrop Corporation, doing business under the
name Wright Investors' Service, Bridgeport, Connecticut ("Wright" or the
"Investment Adviser"), as investment adviser to carry out the management,
investment and reinvestment of its assets. Each Fund has also retained Eaton
Vance Management ("Eaton Vance"), 24 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts,
02110, as administrator of its business affairs.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Each Fund seeks to enhance total investment return (consisting of price
appreciation plus income) by investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity
securities selected by the Investment Adviser from the publicly traded companies
in the National Equity Index for the nation or nations in which each Fund is
permitted to invest. Only securities for which adequate public information is
available and which could be considered acceptable for investment by a prudent
person will comprise the National Equity Index. The selection of equity
securities for the National Equity Index relating to each Fund is described
below. Each Fund's net asset value is expressed in U.S. dollars and fluctuations
in foreign exchange currency rates will affect the value of an investment in a
Fund.
THE NATIONAL EQUITY INDICES
The National Equity Indices (the "Indices") are each designed to be an
index of substantially all the publicly traded equity securities in the nation
or nations in which each respective Fund is permitted to invest which meet the
requirements of a prudent investor. The prudent investor standard requires that
care, skill, and caution be used in selecting securities for investment. The
Investment Adviser will select securities for investment for each Fund only from
those included in the corresponding Index, or in the case of International Fund,
from those included in all the Indices except the United States National Equity
Index or in the case of Global Fund, from those included in all the Indices
including the United States National Equity Index.
Wright has developed disciplined objective criteria to ensure that the
required care, skill, and caution are used in selecting securities for each of
the Indices.
Wright generally considers for inclusion in an Index only those companies
which have at least:
1. Five years of audited operating information;
2. An established minimum amount in both book value and market value;
3. A three-year record of pricing in a public market.
<PAGE>
In addition, only companies that meet the following criteria will be
included in an Index:
1. A significant portion of the shares of the company is believed
to be publicly owned;
2. The company has had positive earnings for the last fiscal or
calendar year, or for the last twelve months, or cumulatively for
the last three years; and
3. The company is not a closed-end investment company or a non-bank
securities broker or dealer.
In selecting securities for the Indices and for inclusion in the portfolios
of the Funds, other than the United States Fund, Wright utilizes its
international database, which includes WORLDSCOPE(R). WORLDSCOPE(R) provides
more than 1,500 items of information on more than 12,000 companies worldwide.
Except for the United States, Wright utilizes the services of major financial
institutions that are located in the nations in which the respective Funds are
permitted to invest to supply Wright with research products and services
including reports on particular industries and companies, economic surveys and
analysis of the investment environment and trends in a particular nation,
recommendations as to whether specific securities should be included in an Index
and other assistance in the performance of its decision-making responsibilities.
Currently, Wright expects to utilize several major international banks in the
above-mentioned capacity. The Indices are adjusted as necessary to reflect
recent events. A detailed explanation of the objective criteria used in the
selection process is as follows.
To be selected for an Index, a company must have:
1. Five years of earnings data (17 quarters of 12 month earnings). To
be selected, a company's trailing 12 month earnings during the
last four quarters or during the last three reported years
cumulatively must be positive.
2. Five years of dividend information or positive verification
that a company did not declare a dividend (20 quarters of
quarterly dividendinformation).
3. Three years of price information (12 quarters of quarterly
prices). To be selected, a company generally must have market
value (number of shares times price) equal to or greater than $20
million. Once a company is selected, its market value must be less
than $15 million for the company's securities to be removed from
the relevant Index.
4. Book value information for the past five years (20 quarters). To
be selected, book value must be equal to or greater than $20
million. Once a company is selected, its book value must be less
than $15 million for the company's securities to be removed from
the relevant Index.
5. Industry group information. Companies that are closed-end
investment companies, real estate investment trusts or non-bank
securities brokers or dealers will not be included.
Acquired companies may continue to be included in the relevant Index up to
their acquisition date.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE FUNDS
Each Fund may establish an investment reserve in cash (including foreign
currency) or cash equivalent securities (high quality short-term fixed income
debt securities) whenever such reserve is deemed to be in the best interests of
the shareholders for any reason, including Wright's expectation of a decline in
the equity markets in which the Fund is permitted to invest. Under normal market
conditions, such reserves will be no more than approximately 20% of a Fund's net
assets. Accordingly, each Fund will have at least 80% of its net assets invested
in equity securities during normal market conditions. With respect to Austria,
Belgium/Luxembourg, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan,
Netherlands, Nordic, Spain and Switzerland Funds, the policy stated in the
preceding sentence is fundamental and may be changed only by the vote of a
majority of a Fund's outstanding voting securities. A greater reserve
<PAGE>
position may, however, be established temporarily if Wright believes that
this would be advisable in view of what it considers to be extraordinary
economic and stock market conditions. See "Special Investment Considerations -
Temporary Defensive Investments" in the Prospectus for a discussion of when the
Funds may take a temporary defensive position.
The following investment restrictions have been adopted by each Fund and
may be changed as to a Fund only by the vote of a majority of the affected
Fund's outstanding voting securities, which means the lesser of (a) 67% of the
shares of the Fund if the holders of more than 50% of the shares are present or
represented at the meeting or (b) more than 50% of the shares of the Fund. If a
percentage restriction contained herein is adhered to at the time of investment,
a later increase or decrease in the percentage resulting from a change in the
value of portfolio securities or the amount of net assets will not be considered
a violation of any of the following restrictions. Accordingly, each Fund may
not:
(The following fundamental investment restrictions apply only to Austria,
Belgium/Luxembourg, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan,
Netherlands, Nordic, Spain and Switzerland.)
(1) Borrow money other than from banks and then only up to 1/3 of the
current market value of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) and only if such borrowing is incurred as a temporary
measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes or to facilitate
the orderly sale of portfolio securities to accommodate redemption
requests; or issue any securities other than its shares of
beneficial interest except as appropriate to evidence indebtedness
which the Fund is permitted to incur. (Each Fund anticipates
paying interest on borrowed money at rates comparable to its yield
and no Fund has any intention of attempting to increase its net
income by means of borrowing);
(2) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets to an extent greater
than 1/3 of the total assets of the Fund taken at market;
(3) Purchase the securities of any one issuer (other than obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its
agencies, or securities of other regulated investment companies)
if, as a result of such purchase, more than 5% of that Fund's
total assets (taken at current value) would be invested in the
securities of such issuer or securities of any one issuer held by
that Fund would exceed 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
such issuer at the end of any fiscal quarter of the Fund, provided
that, with respect to 50% of the Fund's assets, the Fund may
invest up to 25% of its assets in the securities of any one
issuer;
(4) Purchase or retain securities of any issuer if 5% or more of the
issuer's securities are owned by those officers and Trustees of
the Trust or its investment adviser or administrator who own
individually more than 1/2 of 1% of the issuer's securities;
(5) Purchase securities on margin or make short sales except sales
against the box or purchase warrants;
(6) Buy or sell commodities, or commodity contracts (except that the
Fund may purchase or sell currencies and put and call options on
securities, indices or currencies and enter into forward foreign
currency exchange contracts), unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities;
(7) Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25% of the
market value of its total assets at the time of such purchase to
be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal
business activities in the same industry, provided that there is
no limitation in respect to investments in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S.
Government or its agencies or instrumentalities;
<PAGE>
(8) Underwrite securities issued by other persons except to the extent
that the purchase of securities in accordance with a Fund's
investment objectives and policies directly from the issuer
thereof and the later disposition thereof may be deemed to be
underwriting;
(9) Make loans, except (i) through the loan of a portfolio security,
(ii) by entering into repurchase agreements and (iii) to the
extent that the purchase of debt instruments, if any, in
accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies may

(10) Purchase from or sell to any of its Trustees or officers, its
investment adviser, its administrator, its principal underwriter,
if any, or the officers or directors of said investment adviser,
administrator, or principal underwriter, portfolio securities of
the Fund;
(11) Purchase or retain securities of other open-end investment
companies, except when such purchases are part of a merger,
consolidation, reorganization or assets acquisition;
(12) Acquire real estate but it may lease office space for its own use
and invest in (1) readily marketable interests of real estate or
real estate limited partnership interests, investment trusts or
readily marketable securities of issuers (other than real estate
limited partnerships) whose business involves the purchase of real
estate; and (2) securities secured by real estate or interests
therein; or
(13) With respect to 75% of its total assets, (i) invest more than 5%
of its total assets in securities of any one issuer, excluding
securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government or
by its agencies and instrumentalities and options or (ii) purchase
more than 10% of the voting securities of any class of any issuer.
For the purpose of investment restrictions (1), (2) and (5), the
arrangements (including escrow, margin and collateral arrangements) made by any
such Fund with respect to its transactions in currency options, options on
securities and forward foreign currency exchange contracts shall not be
considered to be (i) a borrowing of money or the issuance of securities
(including senior securities) by that Fund, (ii) a pledge of its assets, (iii)
the purchase of a security on margin or (iv) a short sale or position.
(The following fundamental investment restrictions apply only to Australasia,
Britain, Ireland, Mexico, United States, Global and International.)
(1) Borrow money other than from banks and then only up to 1/3 of the
current market value of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) and only if such borrowing is incurred as a temporary
measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes or to facilitate
the orderly sale of portfolio securities to accommodate redemption
requests; or issue any securities other than its shares of
beneficial interest except as appropriate to evidence indebtedness
which the Fund is permitted to incur. (Each Fund anticipates
paying interest on borrowed money at rates comparable to its yield
and no Fund has any intention of attempting to increase its net
income by means of borrowing);
(2) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets to an extent greater
than 1/3 of the total assets of the Fund taken at market;

currency exchange contracts), unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities;
<PAGE>
(4) Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25% of the
market value of its total assets at the time of such purchase to
be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal
business activities in the same industry, provided that there is
no limitation in respect to investments in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S.
Government or its agencies or instrumentalities;
(5) Underwrite securities issued by other persons except to the extent
that the purchase of securities in accordance with a Fund's
investment objectives and policies directly from the issuer
thereof and the later disposition thereof may be deemed to be
underwriting;
(6) Make loans, except (i) through the loan of a portfolio security,
(ii) by entering into repurchase agreements and (iii) to the
extent that the purchase of debt instruments, if any, in
accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies may
be deemed to be loans;
(7) Purchase or sell real estate, except that a Fund may (i) acquire
or lease office space for its own use, (ii) invest in securities
of issuers that invest in real estate or interests therein, (iii)
invest in securities that are secured by real estate or interests
therein, (iv) purchase and sell mortgage-related securities and
(v) hold and sell real estate acquired by a Fund as a result of
the ownership of securities; or
(8) With respect to 75% of its total assets, (i) invest more than 5%
of its total assets in securities of any one issuer, excluding
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or by its
agencies and instrumentalities and options thereon or (ii)
purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of any class of
any issuer.
For the purpose of fundamental investment restrictions (1) and (2) above
and nonfundamental investment restriction (h) below, the arrangements (including
escrow, margin and collateral arrangements) made by a Fund with respect to its
transactions in currency options, options on securities and forward foreign
currency exchange contracts shall not be considered to be (i) a borrowing of
money or the issuance of securities (including senior securities) by that Fund,
(ii) a pledge of its assets, (iii) the purchase of a security on margin or (iv)
a short sale or position.
The following are nonfundamental policies of each Fund which may be changed
by the Trustees without shareholder approval. The Funds have no current
intention of borrowing for leverage purposes, making securities loans or
engaging in short sales. Prior to engaging in such activities, the Funds'
Prospectus will be amended to disclose the intention to do so. No Fund will:
(a) Purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases or purchase partnership
interests in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development
programs;
(b) Invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of
issuers which, together with their predecessors, have a record of
less than three years' continuous operation;
(c) Purchase securities issued by any other investment company, except
by purchase in the open market where no commission or profit to
sponsor or dealer results from such purchase, other than the
customary broker's commission, or except where such purchase,
although not made on the open market, is part of a plan of merger
or consolidation. Subject to the preceding sentence, a Fund may
invest in other investment companies to the full extent allowed by
the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, a Fund may not acquire more than
3% of the outstanding voting securities of another investment
company, invest more than 5% of its assets in any single
investment company or invest more than 10% of its assets in other
investment companies as a group;
(d) Enter into an agreement to purchase securities while its
borrowings exceed 5% of its total assets;
<PAGE>
(e) Invest (1) more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid
investments, including repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven days, securities that are not readily marketable and
restricted securities not eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"); (2) more
than 10% of its net assets in restricted securities, excluding
securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or foreign
securities which are offered or sold outside the United States in
accordance with Regulation S under the 1933 Act; or (3) more than
15% of its net assets in restricted securities (including those
eligible for resale under Rule 144A);
(f) Invest more than 10% of its total assets in shares of real estate
investment trusts that are not readily marketable or invest in
real estate limited partnerships;
(In addition, the following nonfundamental investment restrictions apply only to
Australasia, Britain, Ireland, Mexico, United States, Global and International.)
(g) Purchase or retain securities of any issuer if 5% or more of the
issuer's securities are owned by those officers and Trustees of
the Trust or its investment adviser or administrator who own
individually more than 1/2 of 1% of the issuer's securities;
(h) Purchase securities on margin or make short sales except sales
against the box or purchase warrants; or
(i) Purchase from or sell to any of its Trustees or officers, its
investment adviser, its administrator, its principal underwriter,

CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SHARES
As of March 31, 1995, the Trustees and officers of the Trust, as a group,
owned in the aggregate less than 1% of the outstanding shares of any Fund that

by Participating Trust Departments either for their own account or for the
account of their clients. From time to time, several of these Participating
Trust Departments may be the record owners of 5% or more of the outstanding
shares of a particular Fund.
As of March 31, 1995, Wright Investors' Service owned one share of the
Britain Fund. Wright Investors' Service is a Connecticut corporation.
As of March 31, 1995, the following shareholders were record holders of the

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
The Funds have engaged Wright to act as their investment adviser pursuant
to Investment Advisory Contracts (the "Investment Advisory Contracts"). Wright,
located at 1000 Lafayette Boulevard, Bridgeport, Connecticut, was founded in
1960 and currently provides investment services to clients throughout the United
States and abroad. John Winthrop Wright may be considered a controlling person
of Wright by virtue of his positions as Chairman of the Board of Directors of
Wright, and by reason of his ownership of more than a majority of the
outstanding shares of Wright.
Wright is also the investment adviser to The Wright Managed Income Trust,
The Wright Managed Equity Trust and The Wright Managed Blue Chip Series Trust
(the "Wright Funds").
The Investment Advisory Contracts provide that Wright will carry out the
investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds, will furnish
continuously an investment program with respect to the Funds, will determine
which securities should be purchased, sold or exchanged, and will implement such
determinations. Wright will furnish to the Funds investment advice and
management services, office space, equipment and clerical personnel, and
investment advisory, statistical and research facilities. In addition, Wright
has arranged for certain members of the Eaton Vance and Wright organizations to
serve without salary as officers or Trustees of the Trust. In return for these
services, each Fund is obligated to pay a monthly advisory fee calculated at the
rates set forth in the table below (as a percentage of average daily net
assets).

</TABLE>
It should be noted that, in addition to compensating Wright for its
advisory services to the Funds, the above schedule is intended to partially
compensate Wright for the maintenance of the Indices which form the basis for
the selection of securities for the Funds. Other mutual funds and accounts
advised by Wright Investors' Service may use the Indices as may other entities
not affiliated with Wright.
Shareholders of the Funds who are also advisory clients of Wright may have
agreed to pay Wright a fee for such advisory services. Wright does not intend to
exclude from the calculation of the investment advisory fees payable to Wright
by such advisory clients the portion of the advisory fee payable to the Funds.
Accordingly, a client may pay an advisory fee to Wright in accordance with
Wright's customary investment advisory fee schedule charged to investment
advisory clients and at the same time, as a shareholder in a Fund, bear its
share of advisory fee paid by the Fund to Wright as described above.
The following table sets forth the net assets of each Fund that was
offering its shares as at December 31, 1994 and the advisory fee earned from
each such Fund during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.
As noted above, the previous investment advisory contract for such Funds
provided for a fee calculated at a lower rate than is currently applicable to
such Funds. At December 31, 1994, the Australasia, Austria, Britain, Canada,
France, Germany, Ireland, United States, Global and International Funds had not
commenced operations.

Funds' Investment Advisory Contracts may be continued with respect to each Fund
from year to year thereafter so long as such continuance after February 28,
1996, as the case may be, is approved at least annually (i) by the vote of a
majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, Eaton
Vance or Wright cast in person at a meeting specifically called for the purpose
of voting on such approval and (ii) by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by
vote of a majority of the shareholders of that Fund. The Investment Advisory
Contracts and Administration Agreement may be terminated as to a Fund at any
time without penalty on sixty (60) days' written notice by the Board of Trustees
or Directors of either party, or by vote of the majority of the outstanding
shares of that Fund, and each agreement will terminate automatically in the
event of its assignment. Each agreement provides that, in the absence
<PAGE>
of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of its obligations or duties to the Trust under such agreement on the part of
Eaton Vance or Wright. Eaton Vance or Wright will not be liable to the Trust for
any loss incurred. The Funds' Investment Advisory Contracts and Administration
Agreement were most recently approved by the Trustees, including the
"non-interested" Trustees, at a meeting held on January 25, 1995.
CUSTODIAN
Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"), 24 Federal Street, Boston,
Massachusetts (a 77.3% owned subsidiary of EVC) acts as custodian for the Funds.
IBT has the custody of all cash and securities of the Funds, maintains the
Funds' general ledgers and computes the daily net asset value per share. In such
capacity it attends to details in connection with the sale, exchange,
substitution, transfer or other dealings with the Funds' investments, receives
and disburses all funds and performs various other ministerial duties upon
receipt of proper instructions from the Funds. IBT charges custody fees which
are competitive within the industry. A portion of the custody fee for each fund
managed by Wright for which IBT serves as custodian is based upon a schedule of
percentages applied to the aggregate assets of those funds, the fees so
determined being then allocated among such funds relative to their size. In
addition, each fund pays to IBT a fee based on the number of portfolio
transactions, a fee based on the number of portfolio holdings, and a fee for
bookkeeping and valuation services. These fees are then reduced by a credit for
cash balances of the particular fund at IBT equal to 75% of the average 91-day,
U.S. Treasury Bill auction rate for the billing period applied to the particular
fund's average daily collected balances for the period.
EVC and its affiliates and its officers and employees from time to time
enter into transactions with various banks, including the Funds' custodian, IBT.
Those transactions with IBT which have occurred to date have included loans to
certain of Eaton Vance's officers and employees. It is Eaton Vance's opinion
that the terms and conditions of such transactions were not and will not be
influenced by existing or potential custodian or other relationships between the
Funds and IBT.
The Funds will employ foreign sub-custodians, the selection of which are
subject to annual review and approval by the Trustees in accordance with Rule
17f-5 under the 1940 Act.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, each Fund that was offering
its shares at December 31, 1994 paid the following amounts payable to IBT for
custodial services under these arrangements.

INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Deloitte & Touche LLP, 125 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts, are the
Trust's independent certified public accountants, providing audit services, tax
return preparation, and assistance and consultation with respect to the
preparation of filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
preparation of the Funds' Federal and state tax returns.
BROKERAGE ALLOCATION
Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected by
brokers, and the Funds pay a brokerage commission for this service. In
transactions on stock exchanges in the United States, these commissions are
negotiated, whereas on many foreign stock exchanges the commissions are fixed.
In the over-the-counter market, securities are normally traded on a "net" basis
with dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated
commission, although the price of the securities usually includes a profit to
the dealer. In underwritten offerings, securities are purchased at a fixed price
which includes an amount of compensation to the underwriter, generally referred
to as the underwriter's concession or discount. On occasion, certain money
market instruments may be purchased directly from an issuer, in which case no
commissions or discounts are paid.
Wright places the portfolio security transactions for each Fund, which in
some cases may be effected in block transactions which include other accounts
managed by Wright. Wright provides similar services directly for bank trust
departments and other clients. Wright seeks to execute portfolio security
transactions on the most favorable terms and in the most effective manner
possible. In seeking best execution, Wright will use its best judgment in
evaluating the terms of a transaction, and will give consideration to various
relevant factors, including without limitation the size and type of the
transaction, the nature and character of the markets for the security, the
confidentiality, speed and certainty of effective execution required for the
transaction, the reputation, experience and financial condition of the
broker-dealer and the value and quality of service rendered by the broker-dealer
in other transactions, and the reasonableness of the brokerage commission or
markup, if any.
It is expected that on frequent occasions there will be many broker-dealer
firms which will meet the foregoing criteria for a particular transaction. In
selecting among such firms, the Funds may give consideration to those firms
which supply brokerage and research services, quotations and statistical and
other information to Wright for their use in servicing their accounts. Such
brokers may include firms which purchase investment services from Wright. The
term "brokerage and research services" includes advice as to the value of
securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities,
and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities;
furnishing analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities,
economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy and the performance of accounts;
and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental
thereto (such as clearance and settlement). Such services and information may be
useful and of value to Wright in servicing advisory clients other than the Fund
which paid the brokerage commissions and the other Funds. The services and
information furnished by a particular firm may not necessarily be used in
connection with the Funds or the Fund which paid brokerage commissions to such
firm. The advisory fee paid by the Funds to Wright is not reduced as a
consequence of Wright's receipt of such services and information. While such
services and information are not expected to reduce Wright's normal research
activities and expenses, Wright would, through use of such services and
information, avoid the additional expenses which would be incurred if Wright
should attempt to develop comparable services and information through its own
staff.
<PAGE>
Subject to the requirement that Wright shall use its best efforts to seek
to execute each Fund's portfolio security transactions at advantageous prices
and at reasonably competitive commission rates, Wright, as indicated above, is
authorized to consider as a factor in the selection of any broker-dealer firm
with whom a Fund's portfolio orders may be placed the fact that such firm has
sold or is selling shares of the Funds or of other investment companies
sponsored by Wright. This policy is consistent with a rule of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., which rule provides that no firm which
is a member of the Association shall favor or disfavor the distribution of
shares of any particular investment company or group of investment companies on
the basis of brokerage commissions received or expected by such firm from any
source.
Under the Funds' Investment Advisory Contracts, Wright has the authority to
pay commissions on portfolio transactions for brokerage and research services
exceeding that which other brokers or dealers might charge provided certain
conditions are met.
The Funds' Investment Advisory Contracts expressly recognize the practices
which are provided for in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
by authorizing the selection of a broker or dealer which charges a Fund a
commission which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or
dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if it is determined in
good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services which have been provided.
If purchases or sales of securities of the Funds and one or more other
investment companies or clients supervised by Wright are considered at or about
the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the
several investment companies and clients in a manner deemed equitable to all by
Wright, taking into account the respective sizes of the Funds, and the amount of
securities to be purchased or sold. It is recognized that it is possible that in
some cases this procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price or volume
of the security so far as the Funds are concerned. However, in other cases it is
possible that the ability to participate in volume transactions and to negotiate
lower brokerage commissions will be beneficial to the Funds.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Funds
that were offering their shares during such periods paid the following amounts
on brokerage commissions:

FUND SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES
The shares of beneficial interest of the Trust have no par value and may be
issued in two or more series, or Funds. The Trust currently has twenty-two
series designated as listed on page 3 of this Statement of Additional
Information. The Trustees are empowered by the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws
to create additional series. Shares of each series may be issued in an unlimited
number by the Trust's Trustees. Each share of a series represents an equal
proportionate beneficial interest in that series and, when issued and
outstanding, the shares are fully paid and non-assessable by the relevant
series.
Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held. Fractional
shares may be voted in proportion to the amount of a series' net asset value
which they represent. Voting rights are not cumulative, which means that the
holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of Trustees can
elect 100% of the Trustees and, in such event, the holders of the remaining
shares voting on the matter will not be able to elect any Trustees. Shares have
no preemptive or conversion rights and are freely transferable. Upon liquidation
of a series, shareholders of that series are entitled to share pro rata in the
net assets of the affected series available for distribution to shareholders.

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") on behalf of the
Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and Article III, Section
26 of the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD").
The Trust has entered into a distribution contract on behalf of the Funds
with its Principal Underwriter, Wright Investors' Service Distributors, Inc.
("WISDI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wright, providing for WISDI to act as a
separate distributor of each Fund's shares.
Under this contract and the Plan, it is currently intended that each Fund
will pay to WISDI for distribution services and personal and account maintenance
services in connection with the Fund's
<PAGE>
shares an annual fee equal to .25% of such Fund's average daily net assets.
Appropriate adjustments to payments made pursuant to the Plan shall be made
whenever necessary to assure that no payment is made by a Fund which exceeds the
applicable maximum cap imposed on asset-based, front-end and deferred sales
charges by Section 26(d) of Article III of the Rules of Fair Practice of the
NASD.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, is authorized to
compensate WISDI for (1) distribution services and (2) personal and account
maintenance services performed and expenses incurred by WISDI in connection with
the Fund's shares. The amount of such compensation, including compensation for
personal and account maintenance services, paid during any one year shall not
exceed .25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such compensation shall
be calculated and accrued daily and paid quarterly.
Distribution services and expenses for which WISDI may be compensated
pursuant to this Plan include, without limitation: compensation to and expenses
incurred by Authorized Dealers and the officers, employees and sales
representatives of Authorized Dealers and of WISDI; allocable overhead, travel
and telephone expenses; the printing of prospectuses and reports for other than
existing shareholders; the preparation and distribution of sales literature and
advertising; and all other expenses (other than personal and account maintenance
services as defined below) incurred in connection with activities primarily
intended to result in the sale of the Funds' shares.
Personal and account maintenance services include, but are not limited to,
payments made to or on account of WISDI, Authorized Dealers and their respective
officers, employees and sales representatives who respond to inquiries of, and
furnish assistance to, shareholders concerning their ownership of Fund shares
and their accounts or who provide similar services not otherwise provided by or
on behalf of the Fund.
The Plan is a compensation plan which provides for the payment of a
specified distribution fee without regard to the distribution expenses actually
incurred by WISDI. Accordingly, an amount equal to 1/365 of the annual
distribution fee will be accrued on each day as an expense of each Fund, which
will reduce its net investment income.
Under the Plan, the President or Vice President of the Trust shall provide
to the Trustees for their review, and the Trustees shall review at least
quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended under the Plan and the
purposes for which such expenditures were made.
Under its terms, the Plan remains in effect from year to year, provided
such continuance is approved annually by a vote of its Trustees, including a
majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust and who
have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan. The
Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount to be spent for the
services described therein as to a Fund without approval of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of that Fund and all material amendments of the
Plan must also be approved by the Trustees of the Trust in the manner described
above. The Plan may be terminated at any time as to a Fund without payment of
any penalty by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not
interested persons of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of the Plan or by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of that Fund. So long as the Plan is in effect,
the selection and nomination of Trustees who are not interested persons of the
Trust shall be committed to the discretion of the Trustees who are not such
interested persons. The Trustees of the Trust have determined that in their
judgment there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the Funds
and their shareholders.
The following table shows the fee payable to WISDI under the Plans and the
amount of such fee actually paid by each Fund that was then offering its shares
to the public for the year ended December 31, 1994.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The average annual total return of each Fund is determined for a specified
period by calculating the actual dollar amount of investment return on a $1,000
investment in the Fund made at the maximum public offering price (net asset
value) at the beginning of the period, and then calculating the annual
compounded rate of return which would produce that amount. Total return for a
period of one year is equal to the actual return of the Fund during that period.
This calculation assumes that all dividends and distributions are reinvested at
net asset value on the reinvestment dates during the period.
The average annual total return will be calculated using the following
formula:
P (1 + T)n = ERV
where: P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T = Average annual total return
n = Number of years
ERV = Ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment at the
end of the period.
<PAGE>
Each Fund's yield is computed by dividing its net investment income per
share earned during a recent thirty-day period by the product of the average
daily number of shares outstanding and entitled to receive dividends during the
period and the maximum offering price (net asset value) per share on the last
day of the period. The results are compounded on a bond equivalent (semi-annual)
basis and then they are annualized. Net investment income per share is equal to
the Fund's dividends and interest earned during the period, reduced by accrued
expenses for the period.
The yield earned by each Fund will be calculated using 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 (after reductions)
c = The average daily number of shares outstanding during the period
that were entitled to receive dividends d = The maximum offering
price (net asset value) per share on the last day of the period.
A Fund's yield or total return may be compared to the Consumer Price Index
and various domestic or foreign securities indices. A Fund's yield or total
return and comparisons with these indices may be used in advertisements and in
information furnished to present or prospective shareholders.
From time to time, evaluations of a Fund's performance made by independent
sources may be used in advertisements and in information furnished to present or
prospective shareholders. These may include rankings prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., an independent service which monitors the performance
of mutual funds. The Lipper performance analysis reflects the reinvestment of
dividends and capital gain distributions but does not take sales charges into
consideration and is prepared without regard to tax consequences.
The following table shows the average annual total return for the one year,
three year and life of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 1994:

TAXES
Among the requirements for qualification of each Fund as a regulated
investment company are the following: (1) at least 90% of the Fund's annual
gross income must be derived from interest, dividends, gains from the sale or
other disposition of stock or securities and certain other types of income; (2)
less than 30% of the Fund's annual gross income may be derived from gross gains
from the sale or disposition of stock or securities or certain other investments
held for less than three months; and (3) at the close of each quarter of its
taxable year, (a) at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must be
comprised of cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. Government
securities, securities of other regulated investment companies and other
securities limited in respect of any one issuer to not more than 5% of the value
of the Fund's total assets and not more than 10% of the voting securities of
such issuer and (b) not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be
invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government
securities and securities of other regulated investment companies) or certain
other issuers controlled by the Fund. These requirements may limit a Fund's
activities in options on securities and securities indices, as well as in
foreign currencies and forward foreign currency exchange contracts to the extent
gains relating to such latter activities are considered not directly related to
the Fund's principal business of investing in securities.
Each Fund's use of equalization may affect the amount, timing and character
of distributions to shareholders. Investment by a Fund in a stock of a "passive
foreign investment company" may cause the Fund to recognize income prior to the
receipt of distributions from such a company or to become subject to tax upon
the receipt of certain excess distributions from, or upon disposition of its
stock of, such a company, although an election may in some cases be available
that would ameliorate some of these adverse tax consequences.
A Fund's transactions in foreign currencies, foreign currency-denominated
debt securities, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and receivables or
payables denominated in a foreign currency are subject to special tax rules
under Section 988 of the Code which will generally cause gains and losses from
these transactions to be treated as ordinary income and losses. Certain forward
positions held by a Fund may be required to be "marked to market" (treated as if
they were closed out) on the last business day of each taxable year. In
addition, if certain of these positions held by the Fund substantially diminish
the Fund's risk of loss with respect to securities or other positions in the
Fund's portfolio, this combination of positions may be treated as a straddle for
tax purposes with the possibility of deferral of losses, and adjustments in the
holding period of securities held by the Fund.
The portion of the distributions of United States Fund or Global Fund, if
any, attributable to dividends it receives from U.S. domestic corporations may
qualify for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders, subject
to compliance with certain minimum holding-period requirements and
debt-financing restrictions. Such portion, if any, may increase liability for
alternative minimum tax and result in basis adjustments under certain
circumstances.
Shareholders may realize a taxable gain or loss upon a redemption or
exchange of shares of a Fund. Any loss realized upon the redemption or exchange
of shares of a Fund with a tax holding period of six months or less will be
treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any distributions of net
long-term capital gains with respect to such shares. All or a portion of any
loss realized upon the redemption or exchange of shares may be disallowed to the
extent shares are purchased (including shares acquired by means of reinvested
dividends) within the period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after
the date of such redemption or exchange.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31,1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
EquiFund - Wright National Fiduciary Equity Funds (the Trust) is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, management
investment company. The Trust presently consists of nine active series (Funds),
Wright EquiFund - Belgian/Luxembourg National Fiduciary Equity Fund
(Belgian/Luxembourg series), Wright EquiFund - Dutch National Fiduciary Equity
Fund (Dutch series), Wright EquiFund - Hong Kong National Fiduciary Equity Fund
(Hong Kong series), Wright EquiFund - Italian National Fiduciary Equity Fund
(Italian series), Wright EquiFund - Japanese National Fiduciary Equity Fund
(Japanese series), Wright EquiFund - Mexican National Fiduciary Equity Fund
(Mexican series), Wright EquiFund - Nordic National Fiduciary Equity Fund
(Nordic series), Wright EquiFund - Spanish National Fiduciary Equity Fund
(Spanish series), and Wright EquiFund - Swiss National Fiduciary Equity Fund
(Swiss series). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial
statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
A. Investment Valuations - Securities, including foreign securities, listed on
securities exchanges or in the NASDAQ National Market are valued at closing sale
prices, if those prices are deemed to be representative of market values at the
close of business. Securities traded on more than one U.S. or foreign securities
exchange are valued at the last sale price on the exchange representing the
principal market for such securities, if those prices are deemed to be
representative of market values at the close of business. Securities traded
over-the-counter, unlisted securities and listed securities for which closing
sale prices are not available are valued at the mean between latest bid and
asked prices or, if such bid and asked prices are not available, at prices
supplied by a pricing agent, unless such prices are deemed not to be
representative of market values at the close of business. Securities for which
market quotations are unavailable and other assets are appraised at their fair
value as determined in good faith according to guidelines established by the
Trustees of the Trust. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Options traded on exchanges and over-the-counter are valued at the last current
sales price on the market where such option is principally traded.
Over-the-counter and listed options for which a last sale price is not available
are valued on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers who regularly trade
such options or, if such quotations are not available or deemed not to be
representative of market values, at fair value.
B. Foreign Currency Translation - Investment security valuations, other assets,
and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each
business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and
sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses are translated
into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions. 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 or loss from investments.
C. Taxes - The Trust's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code (the Code) available to regulated investment companies and
distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable income, including any
net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
tax is necessary. At December 31, 1994, net capital losses of $354,205 Nordic
series attributable to security transactions

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
inucrred after October 31, 1994, are treated as arising on the first day of the
Fund's net taxable year. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been
provided for in accordance with the Trust's understanding of the applicable
country's tax rules and rates. At December 31, 1994, the Trust, for federal
income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $88,661 Belgium series,
$37,177 Italian series, $188,806 Spanish series and $236,284 Swiss series,
which will reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gain on
investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will
reduce the amount of the distribution to shareholders which would otherwise
be necessary to relieve the respective Fund of any liability for federal
income or excise tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryovers will
expire as follows:

D. Equalization - The Trust follows the accounting practice known as
equalization by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of
redemptions of Fund shares, on a per-share basis, equivalent to the amount of
undistributed net investment income on the date of the transaction is credited
or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed
net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or redemptions of Fund
shares.
E. Deferred Organization Expenses - Costs incurred by the Trust in connection
with its organization, including registration costs, are being amortized on the
straight-line basis over five years from commencement of operations of each
series.
F. Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments
are purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed,
certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed
of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. At
December 31, 1993, $24,247 ($0.034 per share) of distributions from long-term
capital gains were recharacterized as dividends from net investment income on
the Hong Kong series.
G. Distributions - The Trust requires that differences in the recognition or
classification of income between the financial statements and tax earnings and
profits which result in temporary overdistributions for financial statement
purposes, are classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or
accumulated net realized gains. During the period ending December 31, 1994, the
following amounts were reclassified due to differences between book and tax
accounting created primarily by the deferral of certain losses for tax purposes
and character reclassifications between net investment income and net realized
capital gains.

sated based upon a percentage of each series' average monthly net assets which
rate is adjusted as average monthly net assets exceed certain levels.
Effective August 25, 1994, the annual rate was changed from 0.50% to 0.75%
for the Dutch, Hong Kong, Italian, and Spanish Series. For the year ended
December 31, 1994, the annual effective rate was 0.54% for the Dutch Series,
0.61% for the Hong Kong Series, 0.56% for the Italian Series, 0.58% for the
Spanish Series and 0.75% for the Belgian/Luxembourg, Japanese, Mexican,
Nordic and Swiss Series. The Trust also has engaged Eaton Vance Management
(Eaton Vance) to act as administrator of the Trust. Under the Administration
Agreement, Eaton Vance is responsible for managing the business affairs of the
Trust and is compensated based upon a percentage of each series' average monthly
net assets, which rate is reduced as average monthly net assets exceed certain
levels. For the year ended December 31, 1994, the effective annual rate was
0.10% for each of the existing series. To enhance the net income of the Italian
Series, Wright reduced its management fee by $12,039, and was allocated $33,433
of other expenses.
Except as to Trustees of the Trust who are not affiliated with Eaton Vance
or Wright, Trustees and officers receive remuneration for their services to the
Trust out of the fees paid to Eaton Vance and Wright. The custodian fee was paid
to Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT), an affiliate of Eaton Vance, for its
services as custodian of the Trust. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT
receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average
daily cash balances the Trust maintains with IBT. Certain of the Trustees and
officers of the Trust are directors/trustees and/or officers of the above
organizations. See Note 3.
(3) DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES
The Trustees have adopted a Distribution Plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule
12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plan provides that each of the
Funds will pay the principal underwriter, Wright Investors' Service Distributors
Inc., a subsidiary of Wright Investors' Service, an annual rate of 0.25% of each
series' average daily net assets for activities primarily intended to result in
the sale of each series' shares. For the year ended December 31, 1994, Wright
Investors' Service Distributors Inc. reduced its fees to the Italian Series,
Spanish Series, and Swiss Series by $5,350, $2,300, and $4,025, respectively.
(4) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number
of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value).
Transactions in Trust shares for the periods ended were as follows:

course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various
market risks. These financial instruments include written options, forward
foreign currency exchange contracts, and futures contracts and may involve,
to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts
recognized for financial statement purposes. No such investments were held by
any of the Funds at December 31, 1994.
(8) FUNDS
At December 31, 1994, the Trust consisted of twenty-one Series of which
thirteen series did not have active operations. On January 19, 1994, the
Trustees voted to discontinue the United Kingdom series.
(9) LINE OF CREDIT
The Trust participates with other funds managed by Wright in a line of
credit with a bank which allows the Funds to borrow up to $20,000,000
collectively. The line of credit consists of a $5,000,000 committed facility and
a $15,000,000 uncommitted facility. Interest is charged to each fund based on
its borrowings, at a rate equal to the bank's base rate. In addition, the funds
pay a facility fee computed at a rate of 1/4 of 1% on the unused portion of the
$5,000,000 facility. The Italian Series had a loan outstanding of $45,389 at
December 31, 1994.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
EquiFund - Wright National Fiduciary Equity Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and
liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of EquiFund -
Wright National Fiduciary Equity Funds (the Trust) (comprising,
respectively, of the Belgian/Luxembourg, Dutch, Hong Kong, Italian,
Japanese, Mexican, Nordic, Spanish, and Swiss Series) as of December 31,
1994 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended,
and the statements of changes in net assets for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the financial highlights (see page
9 of the Prospectus) for each of the years in the five-year period
ended December 31, 1994. 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.
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
confirmation of the securities owned at December 31, 1994, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not
received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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, such financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective Series constituting EquiFund - Wright National
Fiduciary Equity Funds as of December 31, 1994, the results of their
operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial
highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

APPENDIX A
---------------------------
DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENTS
U.S. GOVERNMENT, AGENCY AND INSTRUMENTALITY OBLIGATIONS -- U.S. Government
obligations are issued by the U.S. Treasury and include bills, certificates of
indebtedness, notes, and bonds. Agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S.
Government are established under the authority of an act of Congress and
include, but are not limited to, the Government National Mortgage Association,
the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Bank for Cooperatives, the Farmers Home
Administration, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks,
Federal Land Banks, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- involve the purchase of debt securities of the
U.S. Treasury, a Federal agency, a Federal instrumentality or a
Federally-created corporation or of other high quality short-term debt
obligations. At the same time a Fund purchases the security it resells such
security to the vendor which is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System, a
recognized securities dealer or any foreign bank whose creditworthiness has been
determined by Wright to be at least equal to that of issuers of commercial paper
rated within the two highest grades assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
or Standard and Poor's Ratings Group, and is obligated to redeliver the security
to the vendor on an agreed-upon date in the future. A repurchase agreement with
foreign banks may be available with respect to government securities of the
particular foreign jurisdiction. The resale price is in excess of the purchase
price and reflects an agreed-upon market rate unrelated to the coupon rate on
the purchased security. Such transactions afford an opportunity for a Fund to
earn a return on cash which is only temporarily available. A Fund's risk is the
ability of the vendor to pay an agreed upon sum upon the delivery date, which
the Trust believes is limited to the difference between the market value of the
security and the repurchase price provided for in the repurchase agreement.
However, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings affecting the vendor of the
security which is subject to the repurchase agreement, prior to the repurchase,
may result in a delay in a Fund being able to resell the security. The 1940 Act
prohibits registered investment companies from acquiring certain securities
issued by broker-dealers. A transaction whereby a Fund enters into a repurchase
agreement with a broker-dealer might be construed as a contravention of this
prohibition. In the event the law is so interpreted, the Funds will cease such
transactions.
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT -- are certificates issued against funds deposited
in a bank, are for a definite period of time, earn a specified rate of return,
and are normally negotiable.
BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES -- are short-term credit instruments used to finance
the import, export, transfer or storage of goods. They are termed "accepted"
when a bank guarantees their payment at maturity.
FIXED TIME DEPOSITS -- are 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, although there is
no market for such deposits.
COMMERCIAL PAPER -- refers to promissory notes issued by corporations in
order to finance their short-term credit needs.
FINANCE COMPANY PAPER -- refers to promissory notes issued by finance
companies in order to finance their short-term credit needs.
<PAGE>
FOREIGN SECURITIES -- The Funds, other than the United States Fund, may
invest in foreign securities, and in certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, fixed time deposits issued by major foreign banks and foreign
branches of United States banks, to any extent deemed appropriate by Wright and
consistent with a Fund's investment objective. Investing in securities of
foreign governments or securities issued by companies whose principal business
activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not
associated with domestic investments. For example, there is generally less
publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not
subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities
laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing
and financial reporting requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic
issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risks of possible
adverse changes in exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory
taxation, limitation on removal of funds or other assets of a Fund, political or
financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect
such investments. Further, economies of particular countries or areas of the
world may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy of the U.S. To the
extent investments in foreign securities are denominated or quoted in currencies
of foreign countries, a Fund may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes
in currency exchange rates and may incur costs in connection with conversion
between currencies.
It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign
securities will be on exchanges or in over-the-counter markets located outside
the U.S. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are
generally not as developed as those in the U.S. Securities of some foreign
issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S.
companies (this is particularly true of issuers located in developing countries;
however, the Funds do not anticipate investments in securities of developing
countries). In addition, foreign brokerage commissions are generally higher than
commissions on securities traded in the U.S. and may be non-negotiable. In
general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of
securities exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS -- The Funds, other than the United
States Fund, may engage in foreign currency exchange transactions. Investments
in securities of foreign governments and companies whose principal business
activities are located outside the United States will frequently involve
currencies of foreign countries. In addition, assets of a Fund may temporarily
be held in bank deposits in foreign currencies during the completion of
investment programs. Therefore, the value of a Fund's assets, as measured in
U.S. dollars, may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in foreign
currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Although each Fund
values its assets daily in U.S. dollars, the Fund does not intend to convert its
holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. A Fund may
conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis
at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market. The Fund
will convert currency on a spot basis from time to time and will incur costs in
connection with such 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 a Fund at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the Fund
desire to resell that currency to the dealer. The Funds do not intend to
speculate in foreign currency exchange rates.
As an alternative to spot transactions, a Fund may enter into contracts to
purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date ("forward contracts"). A
forward contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency
at a future date and price fixed by agreement between the parties at the time of
entering into the contract. These contracts are traded in the interbank market
conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and
their customers. Although a forward contract generally involves no deposit
requirement and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades, a Fund will
maintain segregated accounts in connection with such transactions. The Funds
intend to enter into such contracts only on net terms.
<PAGE>
A Fund may enter into forward contracts under two circumstances. First,
when a Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security quoted
or denominated in a foreign currency, it may desire to "lock in" the price of
the security. This is accomplished by entering into a forward contract for the
purchase or sale, for a fixed amount of the foreign currency involved in the
underlying security transaction ("transaction hedging"). Such forward contract
transactions will enable the Fund to protect itself against a possible loss
resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between the different
currencies during the period between the date the security is purchased or sold
and the date of payment for the security.
Second, when Wright believes that the currency of a particular foreign
country may suffer a decline, a Fund may enter into a forward contract to sell
the amount of foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of the
securities quoted or 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. The future value of such securities in foreign
currencies will change as a consequence of fluctuations in the market value of
those securities between the date the forward contract is entered into and the
date it matures. The projection of currency exchange rates and the
implementation of a short-term hedging strategy are highly uncertain. As an
operating policy, the Funds do not intend to enter into forward contracts for
such hedging purposes on a regular or continuous basis, and will not do so if,
as a result, more than 50% of the value of a Fund's total assets would be
committed to the consummation of such contracts. A Fund will also not enter into
such forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the
contracts would obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in
excess of the value of the Fund's securities or other assets quoted or
denominated in that currency.
The Fund's custodian will place cash or liquid, high grade debt securities
in a segregated account. The amount of such segregated assets will be at least
equal to the value of a Fund's total assets committed to the consummation of
forward contracts involving the purchase of foreign currency. If the value of
the securities placed in the segregated account declines, additional cash or
securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of
the amount will equal the amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such
contracts.
A Fund generally will not enter into a forward contract with a term of
greater than one year. At the maturity of a forward contract, the Fund may elect
to sell the portfolio security and make delivery of the foreign currency.
Alternatively, the Fund may retain the security and terminate its contractual
obligation to deliver the foreign currency by purchasing an identical offsetting
contract from the same currency trader.
It is impossible to forecast with precision the market value of portfolio
securities at the expiration of a forward contract. Accordingly, it may be
necessary for a Fund to purchase additional foreign currency on the spot market
(and bear the expense of such purchase) if the Fund intends to sell the security
and the market value of the security is less than the amount of foreign currency
that the Fund is obligated to deliver. Conversely, it may be necessary to sell
on the spot market some of the foreign currency received upon the sale of the
portfolio security if its market value exceeds the amount of foreign currency
that the Fund is obligated to deliver.
If a Fund retains the portfolio security and engages in an offsetting
transaction, the Fund will incur a gain or loss (as described below) to the
extent that there has been a change in forward contract prices. If the Fund
engages in an offsetting transaction, it may subsequently enter into a new
forward contract to sell the foreign currency. Should forward contract prices
decline during the period between the date the Fund enters into a forward
contract for the sale of the foreign currency and the date it enters into an
offsetting contract for the purchase of the foreign currency, the Fund 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 forward
contracts prices increase, the Fund 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.
<PAGE>
A Fund will not speculate in forward contracts and will limit its dealings
in such contracts to the transactions described above. Of course, a Fund is not
required to enter into such transactions with respect to its portfolio
securities quoted or denominated in a foreign currency and will not do so unless
deemed appropriate by Wright. This method of protecting the value of a Fund's
securities against a decline in the value of a currency does not eliminate
fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. It simply establishes a
rate of exchange which the Fund can achieve at some future time. Additionally,
although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in
the value of the hedged currency, they also tend to limit any potential gain
which might be realized if the value of such currency increases.
A Fund's foreign currency transactions may be limited by the requirements
of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for
qualification as a regulated investment company.
