The following paragraph replaces the paragraph on page 22 under the
"Industry Classifications" section of the Statement of Additional Information:
For purposes of determining industry classifications, each fund
relies upon classifications contained in the Directory of Companies Filing
Annual Reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except with
respect to investments in companies that produce or manufacture
semiconductors. Investments in those companies will be classified as one
of the following four industry groups: logic semiconductors
(semiconductors that perform a processing or controlling function); analog
semiconductors (semiconductors that manipulate unprocessed data, such as
movement, temperature and sound); memory semiconductors (semiconductors
that hold programs and data); and communications semiconductors
(semiconductors used primarily in the transmission, amplification and
switching of voice, data and video signals).
