Risk/Return Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Risk/Return Summary briefly describes the goals and principal investment
strategies of the Funds and the principal risks of investing in the Funds. For
further information on these and the Funds' other investment strategies and
risks, please read the section entitled More About The Funds.

The Risk/Return Summary includes a table for each Fund showing its average
annual returns and a bar chart showing its annual returns. The table and bar
chart provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in each Fund
by showing:

 .    how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years (or over the
     life of the Fund if the Fund is less than 10 years old) compare to those of
     a broad based securities market index; and;

 .    changes in the Fund's performance from year to year over 10 years (or over
     the life of the Fund if the Fund is less than 10 years old).

When you consider this information, please remember that a Fund's performance in
past years is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

An investment in the Funds is not a bank deposit and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency.

Certain terms used in this prospectus are defined in the Glossary.

Equity Funds
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Balanced Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide an attractive investment return through a
combination of growth of capital and current income.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by allocating its assets among three asset groups:
equity securities, fixed income securities and cash equivalents.

The Fund normally will invest at least 25% of its assets in fixed income
securities and no more than 75% of its assets in equity securities. The Fund
will notify shareholders at least 30 days before changing this policy.

The advisor will allocate the Fund's assets to the three asset groups based on
its view of the following factors, among others:
 .    general market and economic conditions and trends;
 .    interest rates and inflation rates;
 .    fiscal and monetary developments; and o long-term corporate earnings
     growth.

The advisor will try to take advantage of changing economic conditions by
adjusting the ratio of equity securities to fixed income securities or cash
equivalents. For example, if the advisor believes that rapid economic growth
will lead to better corporate earnings in the future, then it might increase the
Fund's equity securities holdings and reduce its fixed income securities and
cash equivalents holdings.

The Fund's fixed income securities include:
 .    U.S. Government securities;
 .    obligations of foreign governments;
 .    corporate obligations;
 .    zero coupon bonds;
 .    variable and floating rate securities;
 .    mortgage and other asset-backed securities; and
 .    stripped securities.

The Fund's cash equivalents are short-term, high-quality money market
instruments and include:
 .    commercial paper;
 .    bankers' acceptances and certificates of deposit;
 .    corporate obligations; and
 .    U.S. Government securities.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities and enter into futures and
options on futures contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, interest
rate risk and credit risk. To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk. To the extent that the
Fund enters into futures and options on futures contracts, it may be subject to
derivatives risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Equity Selection Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity
securities.

The Fund invests in equity securities which the advisor believes are undervalued
compared to stocks of other companies in the same industry.

The Fund generally invests in companies with market capitalizations of at least
$1 billion.

The Fund diversifies its assets by industry in approximately the same weightings
as those of the S&P 500.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and medium-
size company stock risk. To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment, strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Performance

As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund had not commenced operations and,
therefore, does not have annual returns for a full calendar year. For this
reason, a bar chart and performance table showing performance information and
information on the Fund's best and worst calendar quarters is not provided in
this prospectus.

Growth & Income Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide capital appreciation and current income.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing primarily in dividend-paying equity
securities.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its assets in
income-producing common stocks and convertible preferred stocks.

The Fund may also purchase fixed income securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock.

The advisor generally selects large, well-known companies that it believes have
favorable prospects for dividend growth and capital appreciation. The Fund will
seek to produce a current yield greater than the S&P 500.

The Fund focuses on dividend-paying equity securities because, over time,
dividend income has accounted for a significant portion of the total return of
the S&P 500. In addition, dividends are usually a more stable and predictable
source of return than capital appreciation. The advisor believes that stocks
which distribute a high level of current income generally have more stable
prices than those which pay below average dividends.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, interest
rate risk and credit risk. To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Growth Opportunities Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in the equity
securities of companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $10
billion.

Its style, which focuses on both growth prospects and valuation, is known as
GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) and seeks to produce attractive returns
during various market environments.

The advisor chooses the Fund's investments by reviewing the earnings growth of
approximately 10,000 companies over the past three years and investing in
approximately 50 to 100 companies based on:

 .    superior earnings growth;
 .    financial stability;
 .    relative market value; and
 .    price changes compared to the S&Ps MidCap 400 Index.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and
medium-size company stock risk. To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."


Performance

As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has not completed a full calendar
year of operations. For this reason, a bar chart and performance table showing
performance information and information on the Fund's best and worst calendar
quarters is not provided in this prospectus.

<PAGE>

International Equity Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing primarily in foreign securities including
American Depositary Receipts.

Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the Fund's assets are invested
in equity securities in at least three foreign countries. The Fund mostly
invests in mature markets, but may also invest in emerging markets.

The Fund emphasizes companies with a market capitalization of at least $250
million.

At least once a quarter, the advisor creates a list of foreign securities and
American Depositary Receipts which the Fund may purchase based on the country
where the company is located, its competitive advantages, its past financial
record, its future prospects for growth and the market for its securities. The
advisor updates the securities list frequently (at least quarterly), adds new
securities to the list if they are eligible and sells securities not on the
updated securities list as soon as practicable.

After the advisor creates the securities list, it divides the list into two
sections. The first section is designed to provide broad coverage of
international markets. The second section increases exposure to securities that
the advisor expects will perform better than other stocks in their industry
sectors and their markets as a whole. When the advisor believes broader market
exposure will benefit the Fund, it will allocate up to 100% of the Fund's assets
in first section securities. When the advisor identifies strong potential for
specific securities to perform well, the Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets
in second section securities.

The Fund may also enter into futures and options on futures contracts, forward
currency exchange contracts and purchase and sell options.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, foreign
securities risk and currency risk. To the extent that the Fund enters into
futures and options on futures contracts, and forward currency exchange
contracts, and purchases and sells options, it may be subject to derivatives
risk.

is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Micro-Cap Equity Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity
securities of small capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies
means companies having a market capitalization within the range of the companies
included in the Wilshire Micro-Cap Index. As of the date of this prospectus,
such capitalizations do not exceed approximately $300 million, which is
considerably less than the market capitalization of S&P 500 companies.

The Fund attempts to provide investors with potentially higher returns than a
fund that invests primarily in larger, more established companies. Since smaller
capitalization companies are generally not as well known to investors and have
less of an investor following than larger companies, they may provide higher
returns due to inefficiencies in the marketplace.

The advisor will choose companies that:

 .    present the ability to grow significantly over the next several years;

 .    may benefit from changes in technology, regulations and industry sector
     trends; and

 .    are still in the developmental stage and may have limited product lines.

There is no limit on the length of operating history for the companies in which
the Fund may invest. The Fund may also invest in equity securities of larger
capitalization companies. The Fund may invest without limit in initial public
offerings of small capitalization companies.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and small
company stock risk. To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign securities, it
may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Goal

"fundamental" and cannot be changed without shareholder approval.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity
securities. The Fund generally invests in equity securities of companies with
market capitalizations over $1 billion. Its style, which focuses on both growth
prospects and valuation, is known as GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) and
seeks to produce attractive returns during various market environments.

approximately 5,500 companies over the past five years and investing in
approximately 50 to 100 companies based on:

 .    superior earnings growth;

 .    financial stability;

 .    relative market value; and

 .    price changes compared to the S&P 500.

The Fund may also purchase foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Real Estate Equity Investment Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide both capital appreciation and current income. This
goal is "fundamental" and cannot be changed without shareholder approval.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least
65% of its total assets in equity securities of U.S. companies which are
principally engaged in the real estate industry or which own significant real
estate.

A company is "principally engaged" in the real estate industry if at least 50%
of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership,
construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real
estate. The Fund will not own real estate directly.

The companies in which the Fund primarily invests include:

 .    equity real estate investment trusts ("REITS");

 .    brokers, home builders and real estate developers;

 .    companies with substantial real estate holdings (for example, paper and
     lumber producers, hotels and entertainment companies);

 .    manufacturers and distributors of building supplies;

 .    Mortgage REITS; and

 .    financial institutions which issue or service mortgages.

In addition, the Fund may invest:

 .    up to 35% of its assets in companies other than real estate industry
     companies;

 .    in fixed income securities including up to 5% of its assets in debt
     securities rated below investment grade or unrated if secured by real
     estate assets and if the advisor believes that the underlying collateral is
     sufficient; and

 .    in REITS only if they are traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ.


Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and sector
risk.

Small-Cap Value Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation, with income as a
secondary objective.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least
65% of its assets in equity securities of small capitalization companies. Small
capitalization companies means companies with market capitalizations within the
range of the companies in the Russell 2000 Index. As of the date of this
prospectus, such capitalizations do not exceed approximately $1.5 billion, which
is less than the market capitalization of S&P 500 companies.

The Fund attempts to provide investors with potentially higher returns than a
fund that invests primarily in larger, more established companies. Since small
companies are generally not as well known to investors and have less of an
investor following than larger companies, they may provide higher returns due to
inefficiencies in the marketplace.

The advisor will concentrate on companies that it believes are undervalued. A
company's equity securities may be undervalued because the company is
temporarily overlooked or out of favor due to general economic conditions, a
market decline, industry conditions or developments affecting the particular
company. The Fund will usually invest in equity securities of companies with
price/earnings ratios, price/cash flow ratios and price/book values that are low
relative to the general market.

In addition to valuation, the advisor considers these factors, among others, in
choosing companies:

 .    a stable or improving earnings record;

 .    sound finances;

 .    above-average growth prospects;

 .    participation in a fast growing industry;

 .    strategic niche position in a specialized market; and

 .    adequate capitalization.

The Fund may invest in equity securities of larger capitalization companies.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities and enter into futures and
options on futures contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and small
company stock risk. To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign securities, it
may be subject to foreign securities risk. To the extent that the Fund enters
into futures and options on futures contracts, it may be subject to derivatives
risk.

Framlington Global Financial Services Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity
securities of U.S. and foreign companies which are principally engaged in the
financial services industry and companies providing services primarily within
the financial services industry. The Fund focuses specifically on companies
which are likely to benefit from growth or consolidation in the financial

 .    savings and loan associations;
 .    brokerage companies;
 .    consumer and industrial finance companies;
 .    real estate and leasing companies;
 .    insurance companies; and
 .    holding companies for each of the above.

A company is "principally engaged" in the financial services industry if at
least 50% of its gross income, net sales or net profits comes from activities in
the financial services industry or if the company dedicates more than 50% of its
assets to the production of revenues from the financial services industry.

The sub-advisor allocates assets among countries based on:
 .    its analysis of the trends in the financial services industry in particular
     regions;
 .    the relative valuation of financial services companies in different
     regions; and
 .    its assessment of the prospects for a particular equity market and its
     currency.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in
at least three different countries, including the United States. The Fund may
invest in companies located in countries with mature markets and in those with
emerging markets.

The Fund may also enter into forward currency exchange contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, sector risk,
foreign securities risk, currency risk and medium-size company stock risk. To
the extent that the Fund enters into forward currency exchange contracts, it may
be subject to derivatives risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Performance

As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has not completed a full calendar
year of operations. For this reason, a bar chart and performance table showing
performance information and information on the Fund's best and worst calendar
quarters is not provided in this prospectus.

Summary of Principal Risks of the Funds

The share price of the Funds will change daily based on market conditions and
other factors. Therefore, you may lose money if you invest in the Funds.

The following summary briefly describes the principal risks that may affect a
Fund's portfolio as a whole. More information about the Funds' principal
investment strategies and their associated risks is contained in the section
entitled "More About the Funds."

SECTOR RISK is the risk of loss due to concentrating investments in a particular
industry sector. Adverse economic, business or political developments affecting
that industry sector could have a major effect on the value of the Fund's
investments. Real Estate Equity Investment Fund, Global Financial Services Fund
and Healthcare Fund are particularly subject to this Risk.

CREDIT (OR DEFAULT) RISK is the risk of loss because an issuer of a security may
default on its payment obligations. Also, an issuer may suffer adverse changes
in its financial condition that could lower the credit quality of a security,
leading to greater volatility in the price of the security and in shares of the
Fund. A change in the quality rating of a bond can affect the bond's liquidity
and make it more difficult for the Fund to sell. Funds particularly subject to
this risk are: Balanced Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond
Fund, International Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, Michigan Tax-Free
Bond Fund, Tax-Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, Cash
Investment Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund.

DERIVATIVES RISK is the risk that loss may result from a Fund's use of futures
and options on futures contracts, options, forward currency exchange contracts
and other forms of derivative instruments. The primary risk with many
derivatives is that they can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or
losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative
instrument. Funds particularly subject to this risk are: Balanced Fund,
International Equity Fund, Value Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund, Global Financial
Services Fund and International Growth Fund.

FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK is the risk of loss because investments by a Fund in
foreign securities may experience greater and more rapid change in value than
investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities are generally more volatile
and less liquid than U.S. securities, in part because of greater political and
economic risks and because there is less public information available about
foreign companies. Issuers of foreign securities are generally not subject to
the same degree of regulation as are U.S. issuers. The reporting, accounting and
auditing standards of foreign countries may differ, in some cases significantly,
from U.S. standards. Funds particularly subject to this risk are: Balanced Fund,
Equity Selection Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund,
International Equity Fund, Micro-Cap Equity Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund, Small
Company Growth Fund, Multi-Season Growth Fund, Value Fund, Emerging Markets
Fund, Global Financial Services Fund, Healthcare Fund and International Growth
Fund.

       Currency Risk. Funds that invest in foreign securities denominated in
       foreign currencies may also be subject to currency risk. This is the
       risk of loss because a decline in the value of foreign currencies
       relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of a Fund's portfolio
       securities denominated in those currencies. Funds particularly subject
       to this risk are: International Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Fund,
       Global Financial Services Fund, Healthcare Fund and International
       Growth Fund.

       Emerging Markets Risk. Funds that invest in foreign securities of
       issuers in emerging market countries are subject to emerging markets
       risk. Investing in emerging market countries heightens the risks
       presented by investing in foreign securities and currencies and may
       result in loss to the Fund. Numerous emerging countries have recently
       experienced serious, and potentially continuing, economic and political
       problems. Stock markets in many emerging countries are relatively small
       and risky. Foreigners are often limited in their ability to invest in,
       and withdraw assets from, these markets. Additional restrictions may be
       imposed under emergency conditions. Funds particularly subject to this
       risk are:
       International Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Fund and International Growth
       Fund.

                                       18

INTEREST RATE RISK is the risk of loss because increases in prevailing interest
rates will cause fixed-income securities held by a Fund to decline in value.
Longer term bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than
shorter term bonds. Generally, the longer the average maturity of the bonds held
by the Fund, the more the Fund's share price will fluctuate in response to
interest rate changes. Funds particularly subject to this risk are: Balanced
Fund and Growth & Income Fund.

MARKET RISK is the risk of loss because the value of the securities in which a
Fund invests may decline in response to general economic conditions. Price
changes may be temporary or last for extended periods. For example, stock prices
have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. In addition, the value of
Fund's investments may decline if the particular companies the Funds invest in
do not perform well. All of the Munder Equity Funds are subject to this risk.

MEDIUM-SIZE COMPANY STOCK RISK is the risk of loss because the stocks of
medium-size companies may be more susceptible to market downturns, and their
prices may be more volatile than the stocks of larger companies. Equity
Selection Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, Value Fund, Emerging Markets Fund,
Global Financial Services Fund, International Growth Fund and Healthcare Fund
are particularly subject to this risk.

PREPAYMENT RISK is the risk that a Fund may experience losses when an issuer
exercises its right to pay principal on an obligation held by the Fund (such as
a mortgage-backed security) earlier than expected. This may happen during a
period of declining interest rates. Under these circumstances, the Fund may be
unable to recoup all of its initial investment and will suffer from having to
reinvest in lower yielding securities. The loss of higher yielding securities
and the reinvestment at lower interest rates can reduce the Fund's income, total
return and share price. The Balanced Fund is particularly subject to this risk.

SMALL COMPANY STOCK RISK is the risk of loss because the stocks of small
companies may have more risks than those of larger companies. Small companies
often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources
than larger, more established companies. As a result, they may be more sensitive
to changing economic conditions, which could increase the volatility of a Fund's
portfolio. In addition, small company stocks typically are traded in lower
volume making them more difficult to sell. Funds particularly subject to this
risk are: Micro-Cap Equity Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small Company Growth Fund
and Healthcare Fund.

Who May Want to Invest

The Funds may be appropriate for investors:

 .    Looking to invest over the long term and willing to ride out market swings
     in search of potentially higher returns.

 .    Looking for an investment that has more return and risk potential than
     fixed income investments.

More About The Funds
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Funds' principal investment strategies and risks are summarized above in the
section entitled Risk/Return Summary. A more complete description of each Fund's
investments and strategies and their associated risks is provided below under
"Special Risks and Other Considerations" and "Additional Descriptions of
Investments and Investment Strategies." The Funds may also invest in other
securities and are subject to further restrictions and risks which are described
in the Statement of Additional Information. The Glossary below explains certain
terms used throughout this prospectus.

Glossary

Types Of Funds

Equity Funds are the Balanced Fund, Equity Selection Fund, Growth & Income Fund,
Growth Opportunities Fund, International Equity Fund, Micro-Cap Equity Fund,
Multi-Season Growth Fund, Real Estate Equity Investment Fund, Small-Cap Value
Fund, Small Company Growth Fund, Value Fund, Framlington Emerging Markets Fund,
Framlington Global Financial Services Fund, Framlington Health Care Fund and
Framlington International Growth Fund.

Types Of Securities

Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities
convertible into common stocks, and rights and warrants to subscribe for the
purchase of common stocks. Equity securities may be listed on a stock exchange
or NASDAQ National Market System or unlisted. Warrants are rights to purchase
securities at a specified time at a specified price.

Fixed income securities are securities that pay interest at set times at either
fixed, floating or variable rates, or which are issued at a discount to their
principal amount instead of making periodic interest payments. Fixed income
securities include corporate bonds, debentures and other similar corporate debt
instruments, zero coupon bonds and variable amount master demand notes.

Convertible securities are bonds or preferred stocks that may be converted
(exchanged) into the common stock of the issuing company within a specified time
period for a specified number of shares. Convertible securities offer the Funds
a way to participate in the capital appreciation of the common stock into which
the securities are convertible, while earning higher current income than is
available from the common stock.

U.S. Government securities are securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. These securities include U.S.
Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bonds and obligations of the
Federal Home Loan Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association and
Government National Mortgage Association.

Money market instruments are high-quality, short-term instruments including
commercial paper, bankers' acceptances and negotiable certificates of deposit of
banks or savings and loan associations, short-term corporate obligations and
short-term U.S. Government securities.

1940 Act is the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Internal Revenue Code is the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

NAV is the net asset value per share of a Fund. NAV is the value of a single
share of a Fund. Each Fund calculates NAV separately for each class. NAV is
calculated by (1) taking the current value of a Fund's total assets allocated to
a particular class of shares, (2) subtracting the liabilities and expenses
charged to that class (3) dividing that amount by the total number of shares of
that class outstanding.

A diversified investment company is an investment company that may not invest
more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer other than the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. This limit applies only to 75% of
a diversified Fund's assets. In addition, a diversified Fund cannot invest more
than 25% of its assets in a single issuer. These limitations do not apply to the
non-diversified Funds.

Special Risks And Other Considerations

Derivative Risk. "Derivative" instruments are financial contracts whose value is
based on an underlying security, a currency exchange rate, an interest rate or a
market index. Many types of instruments representing a wide range of potential
risks and rewards are derivatives, including futures contracts, options on
futures contracts, options, swaps, forward currency contracts and structured
debt obligations (including collateralized mortgage obligations and other types
of asset-backed securities, "stripped" securities and various floating rate
instruments).

       Investment Strategy. Derivatives can be used for hedging (attempting to
       reduce risk by offsetting one investment position with another) or
       speculation (taking a position in the hope of increasing return). The
       Funds may, but are not required to, use derivatives for hedging
       purposes or for the purpose of remaining fully invested or maintaining
       liquidity. The Funds will not use derivatives for speculative purposes.

       Special Risks. The use of derivative instruments exposes a Fund to
       additional risks and transaction costs. Risks of derivative instruments
       include: (1) the risk that interest rates, securities prices and
       currency markets will not move in the direction that a portfolio
       manager anticipates; (2) imperfect correlation between the price of
       derivative instruments and movements in the prices of the securities,
       interest rates or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact that skills
       needed to use these strategies are different than those needed to
       select portfolio securities; (4) the possible absence of a liquid
       secondary market for any particular instrument and possible exchange
       imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult
       or impossible to close out a position when desired; (5) the risk that
       adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss
       substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment in that
       instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); (6)
       particularly in the case of privately-negotiated instruments, the risk
       that the counterparty will not perform its obligations, which could
       leave the Fund worse off than if it had not entered into the position;
       and (7) the inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid
       adverse tax consequences.

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign securities include direct investments in
non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities traded outside of the United States and
dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the United States.
Foreign securities also include indirect investments such as American Depository
Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depository Receipts ("EDRs") and Global Depository
Receipts ("GDRs"). ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts representing shares
of foreign-based corporations. ADRs are issued by U.S. banks or trust companies,
and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on
the underlying foreign shares. EDRs and GDRs are receipts issued by non-U.S.
financial institutions that often trade on foreign exchanges. They represent
ownership in an underlying foreign or U.S. security and are generally
denominated in a foreign currency.

       Investment Strategy. International Equity Fund, Framlington Global
       Financial Services Fund, Framlington Healthcare Fund and Framlington
       International Growth Fund will invest all or a substantial portion of
       their total assets in foreign securities. The other Equity Funds
       (except Real Estate Investment Fund), may invest up to 25% of their
       total assets in foreign securities.

       Special Risks. Foreign securities involve special risks and costs.
       Investment in the securities of foreign governments involves the risk
       that foreign governments may default on their obligations or may
       otherwise not respect the integrity of their debt.

       Investment in foreign securities may involve higher costs than
       investment in U.S. securities, including higher transaction and custody
       costs as well as the imposition of

                                       26
<PAGE>

       additional taxes by foreign governments. Foreign investments may also
       involve risks associated with the level of currency exchange rates, less
       complete financial information about the issuers, less market liquidity,
       more market volatility and political instability. Future political and
       economic developments, the possible imposition of withholding taxes on
       dividend income, the possible seizure or nationalization of foreign
       holdings, the possible establishment of exchange controls or freezes on
       the convertibility of currency, or the adoption of other governmental
       restrictions might adversely affect an investment in foreign securities.
       Additionally, foreign issuers may be subject to less stringent
       regulation, and to different accounting, auditing and recordkeeping
       requirements.

       Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods
       of time causing a Fund's net asset value to fluctuate as well. A
       decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar
       will reduce the value of a foreign currency-denominated security. To
       the extent that a Fund is invested in foreign securities while also
       maintaining currency positions, it may be exposed to greater combined
       risk. The Funds' respective net currency positions may expose them to
       risks independent of their securities positions.

       Additional risks are involved when investing in countries with emerging
       economies or securities markets. In general, the securities markets of
       these countries are less liquid, are subject to greater price
       volatility, have smaller market capitalizations and have problems with
       securities registration and custody. In addition, because the
       securities settlement procedures are less developed in these countries,
       a Fund may be required to deliver securities before receiving payment
       and may also be unable to complete transactions during market
       disruptions. As a result of these and other risks, investments in these
       countries generally present a greater risk of loss to the Fund.

       A further risk of investing in foreign securities is the risk that a
       Fund may be adversely affected by the conversion of certain European
       currencies into the Euro. This conversion, which is under way, is
       scheduled to be completed in the year 2002. However, problems with the
       conversion process and delays could increase volatility in world
       markets and affect European markets in particular.

Investments in Financial Services Companies by Framlington Global Financial
Services Fund. Financial services companies are subject to extensive
governmental regulation which may limit the financial commitments they can make,
and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Insurance companies may be
subject to severe price competition. Proposed legislation that would reduce the
separation between commercial and investment banking businesses, if enacted,
could significantly impact the industry and the Fund. The Fund may be riskier
than a fund investing in a broader range of industries.

Investments in the Healthcare Industry by Framlington Healthcare Fund. The Fund
will invest most of its assets in the healthcare industry, which is particularly
affected by rapidly changing technology and extensive government regulation,
including cost containment measures. The Fund may be riskier than a fund
investing in a broader range of industries.

Investments in the Real Estate Industry by Real Estate Equity Investment Fund.
The Fund will invest primarily in the real estate industry and may invest more
than 25% of its assets in any one sector of the real estate industry. As a
result, the Fund will be particularly vulnerable to declines in real estate
prices and new construction rates. The Fund may be riskier than a fund investing
in a broader range of industries.

Investment Grade Credit Risk.  A security is considered investment grade if, at
the time of purchase, it is rated:

 .    BBB or higher by S&P;
 .    Baa or higher by Moody's;
 .    BBB or higher by Duff & Phelps; or
 .    BBB or higher by Fitch.

A security will be considered investment grade if it receives one of the above
ratings, even if it receives a lower rating from other rating organizations.

       Investment Strategy. Except as stated in the next section, fixed income
       and

                                       27
<PAGE>

       convertible securities purchased by the Funds will generally be rated at
       least investment grade. The Funds may also invest in unrated securities
       if the advisor or sub-advisor believes they are comparable in quality.

       Special Risks. Although securities rated "BBB" by S&P, Duff & Phelps or
       Fitch, or Baa by Moody's are considered investment grade, they have
       certain speculative characteristics. Therefore, they may be subject to
       a higher risk of default than obligations with higher ratings.
       Subsequent to its purchase by a Fund, a rated security may cease to be
       rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum rating required
       for purchase by the Fund. The advisor or sub-advisor will consider such
       an event in determining whether the Fund should continue to hold the
       security.

Non-Investment Grade Credit Risk. Non-investment grade fixed income and
convertible securities are generally rated "BB" or below by S&P, Duff & Phelps
or Fitch, or "Ba" by Moody's.

       Investment Strategy. Each Fund may invest a portion of their total
       assets in non-investment grade securities when the advisor or
       sub-advisor determines that such securities are desirable in light of
       the Funds' investment objectives and portfolio mix.

       Special Risks. Non-investment grade securities (sometimes referred to
       as "junk bonds") are subject to greater risk than investment grade
       securities. They generally present a higher degree of credits risks
       (default). In addition, the market value of these securities tends to
       be more sensitive to individual corporate developments and to changes
       in interest rates and other economic developments than higher-rated
       securities.

Short-Term Trading.  The Funds' historical portfolio turnover rates are shown in
the Financial Highlights.

       Investment Strategy.  Each Fund may engage in short-term trading,
       including, initial public offerings.

       Special Risks. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) could
       produce higher trading costs and taxable distributions, which could
       detract from a Fund's performance.

Defensive Investing.  Each Fund may invest all or any portion of its assets in
short-term obligations as a temporary defensive
measure in response to adverse market or economic conditions.

       Special Risks.  A Fund may not achieve its investment objective when its
       assets are invested in short-term obligations.

Year 2000 Risk. Like other mutual funds, financial institutions, business
organizations and individuals around the world, the Funds could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by the advisor and the Funds' other
service providers do not properly process and calculate date-related information
and data from and after January 1, 2000. The advisor is taking steps that it
believes are reasonably designed to address year 2000 computer-related problems
with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain assurances that
comparable steps are being taken by the Funds' other major service providers.
Although there can be no assurances, the advisor believes that these steps will
be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on any of the Funds. Similarly, there
can be no assurance that year 2000 issues will not affect the companies and
other issuers in which the Funds invest or affect worldwide markets and
economies.

Additional Description Of Investments And Investment Strategies

Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are debt securities backed by
mortgages, installment sales contract and credit card receivables. The
securities are sponsored by entities such as government agencies, banks,
financial companies and commercial or industrial companies. In effect, these
securities "pass through" the monthly payments that individual borrowers make on
their mortgage or other assets net of any fees paid to the issuers. Examples of
these include guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized
mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate mortgage investment conduits
("REMICs").

       Investment Strategy.  Framlington Global Financial Services Funds may
       invest a portion of its assets in Asset-Backed
       Securities.

       Special Risks. In addition to credit and market risk, asset-backed
       securities involve repayment risk because the underlying assets (loans)
       may be prepaid at any time. The value of these securities may also
       change because of actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness
       of the originator, the servicing agent, the financial institution
       providing the credit support, or the counterparty. Like other fixed
       income securities, when interest rates rise the value of an
       asset-backed security generally will decline. However, when interest
       rates decline, the value of an asset-backed security with prepayment
       features may not increase as much as that of other fixed income
       securities. In addition, non-mortgage asset-backed securities involve
       certain risks not presented by mortgage-backed securities. Primarily,
       these securities do not have the benefit of the same security interest
       in the underlying collateral.

Borrowing and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Funds can borrow money from
banks and enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and other
financial institutions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of
securities held by a Fund subject to the Fund's agreement to repurchase them at
a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest).

       Investment Strategy. Each Fund may borrow money in an amount up to 5%
       of its assets for temporary emergency purposes and in an amount up to
       33 1/3% of its assets to meet redemptions. This is a fundamental policy
       which can be changed only by shareholders.

       Special Risks. Borrowings and reverse repurchase agreements by a Fund
       may involve leveraging. If the securities held by the Fund decline in
       value while these transactions are outstanding, the Fund's net asset
       value will decline in value by proportionately more than the decline in
       value of the securities. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements
       involve the risks that the interest income earned by the Fund (from the
       investment of the proceeds) will be less than the interest expense of
       the transaction, that the market value of the securities sold by the
       Fund will decline below the price the Fund is obligated to pay to
       repurchase the securities, and that the securities may not be returned
       to the Fund.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward currency exchange contract is an
obligation to exchange one currency for another on a future date at a specified
exchange rate.

       Investment Strategy. Forward currency exchange contracts may be used
       for hedging purposes and to help reduce the risks and volatility caused
       by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency
       exchange contracts will be used at the discretion of the advisor or
       sub-advisor, and no Fund is required to hedge its foreign currency
       positions.

       Special Risks. Forward currency contracts are privately negotiated
       transactions, and can have substantial price volatility. When used for
       hedging purposes, they tend to limit any potential gain that may be
       realized if the value of a Fund's foreign holdings increases because of
       currency fluctuations.

Futures Contracts and Related Options. A futures contract is a type of
derivative instrument that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset in the
future at an agreed upon price. When a Fund purchases an option on a futures
contract, it has the right to assume a position as a purchaser or seller of a
futures contract at a specified exercise price during

                                       29
<PAGE>

the option period. When a Fund sells an option on a futures contract, it becomes
obligated to purchase or sell a futures contract if the option is exercised.

       Investment Strategy. Each Fund may invest in futures contracts and
       options on futures contracts on domestic or foreign exchanges or boards
       of trade. These instruments may be used for hedging purposes, to
       maintain liquidity to meet potential shareholder redemptions, to invest
       cash balances or dividends, or to minimize trading costs.

       A Fund will not purchase or sell a futures contract unless, after the
       transaction, the sum of the aggregate amount of margin deposits on its
       existing futures positions and the amount of premiums paid for related
       options used for non-hedging purposes is 5% or less of the Fund's total
       assets.

       Special Risks. Futures contracts and related options present the
       following risks: imperfect correlation between the change in market
       value of a Fund's securities and the price of futures contracts and
       options; the possible inability to close a futures contract when
       desired; losses due to unanticipated market movements, which are
       potentially unlimited; and the possible inability of the advisor or
       sub-advisor to correctly predict the direction of securities prices,
       interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors.

Guaranteed Investment Contracts. Guaranteed investment contracts are agreements
by a Fund to make payments to an insurance company's general account in exchange
for a minimum level of interest based on an index.

       Special Risks. Guaranteed investment contracts are considered illiquid
       investments and are acquired subject to a Fund's limitation on illiquid
       investments.

Illiquid Securities. Illiquid securities include private placements or other
securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or
for which there is no readily available market.

       Investment Strategy.  Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in
       securities that are illiquid.

       Special Risks. To the extent that a Fund invests in illiquid
       securities, the Fund risks not being able to sell the securities at the
       time and the price that it would like. The Fund may have to lower the
       price, sell substitute securities or forego an investment opportunity,
       each of which may cause a loss to the Fund.

Investment Companies. To the extent consistent with their respective investment
objectives and policies, the Funds may invest in securities issued by other
investment companies.

       Investment Strategy. Investments by a Fund in other investment companies
       will be subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act.

       Special Risks. As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund
       would be subject to the same risks as any other investor in that
       company. In addition, it would bear a proportionate share of any fees
       and expenses paid by that company. These would be in addition to the
       advisory and other fees paid directly by the Fund.

Municipal Obligations. Municipal obligations may include: (i) general obligation
bonds issued for various public purposes and supported by the municipal issuer's
credit and taxing power; and (ii) revenue bonds whose principal and interest is
payable only from the revenues of a particular project or facility.

       Special Risks. Industrial revenue bonds depend on the credit standing of
       a private issuer and may be subject to the federal alternative minimum
       tax (AMT).

Options. An option is a type of derivative instrument that gives the holder the
right (but not the obligation) to buy (a "call") or sell (a "put") an asset in
the future at an agreed upon price prior to the expiration date of the option.

       Investment Strategy. Each Fund may write (sell) covered call options,
       buy put options, buy call options and write secured put options for
       hedging purposes. Options may relate to particular securities, foreign
       or domestic securities indices, financial instruments or foreign
       currencies.

       Special Risks. The value of options can be highly volatile, and their
       use can result in

                                       30
<PAGE>

       loss if the advisor or sub-advisor is incorrect in
       its expectation of price fluctuations. The successful use of options
       for hedging purposes also depends in part on the ability of the advisor
       or sub-advisor to predict future price fluctuations and the degree of
       correlation between the options and securities markets.

Repurchase Agreements. Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities
by a Fund subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at a mutually
agreed upon date and price.

       Investment Strategy. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
       banks and broker-dealers that are deemed to be creditworthy by the
       advisor or sub-advisor.

       Special Risks. If the seller defaults or declares bankruptcy, a Fund
       may suffer if the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities
       and other collateral are less than the repurchase price or if there are
       delays in selling the underlying securities or collateral.

Securities Lending. In order to generate additional income, each Fund may lend
securities on a short-term basis to qualified institutions. By reinvesting any
cash collateral it receives in these transactions, the Fund could realize
additional income gains or losses.

       Investment Strategy. Securities lending may represent no more than 25% of
       the value of a Fund's total assets (including the loan collateral).

       Special Risks. The main risk when lending Fund securities is that if
       the borrower fails to return the securities or the invested collateral
       has declined in value, the Fund could lose money.

Stripped Securities. These securities are issued by the U.S. Government (or
agency or instrumentality), foreign governments or banks and other financial
institutions. They entitle the holder to receive either interest payments or
principal payments that have been "stripped" from a debt obligation. These
obligations include participations in trusts that hold U.S. Treasury or agency
securities.

       Special Risks. Stripped securities are very sensitive to changes in
       interest rates and to the rate of principal repayments. A rapid or
       unexpected increase in mortgage prepayments could severely depress the
       price of certain stripped mortgage-backed securities and adversely
       affect a Fund's total returns.

Temporary Investments. Short-term obligations refer to U.S. Government
securities, high-quality money market instruments and repurchase agreements with
maturities of 13 months or less. Generally, these obligations are purchased to
provide stability and liquidity to a Fund.

       Investment Strategy. Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in
       short-term obligations pending investment or to meet anticipated
       redemption requests.

       Special Risks.  A Fund may not achieve its investment objective when its
       asset are invested in short-term obligations.

Variable and Floating Rate Instruments. Variable and floating rate instruments
have interest rates that are periodically adjusted either at set intervals or
that float at a margin above a generally recognized index rate. These
instruments include variable amount master demand notes.

       Special Risks. Variable and floating rate instruments are subject to
       the same risks as fixed income investments, particularly interest rate
       risk and credit risk. Because there is no active secondary market for
       certain variable and floating rate instruments, they may be more
       difficult to sell if the issuer defaults on its payment obligations or
       during periods when a Fund is not entitled to exercise its demand
       rights. As a result, the Fund could suffer a loss with respect to these
       instruments.
When - Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Transactions and Forward Commitments.
A purchase of "when-issued" securities refers to a transaction made
conditionally because the securities, although authorized, have not yet been
issued. A delayed delivery or forward commitment transaction involves a contract
to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond the
customary settlement period.

       Special Risks. Purchasing or selling securities on a when-issued,
       delayed delivery or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the
       value of the

                                       31
<PAGE>

       securities may change by the time they are actually issued
       or delivered. These transactions also involve the risk that the seller
       may fail to deliver the security or cash on the settlement date.

Zero Coupon Bonds. These are securities issued at a discount from their face
value because interest payments are typically postponed until maturity.

       Special Risks. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are
       more volatile than the market prices of interest-bearing securities and
       are likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates
       than interest-bearing securities having similar maturities and credit
       quality. A Fund's investments in zero coupon bonds may require the Fund
       to sell some of its portfolio securities to generate sufficient cash to
       satisfy certain income distribution requirements.

Exchanging Shares

Policies for Exchanging Shares
 .   You may exchange your Fund for shares of the same class of other Munder
    Funds based on their relative net asset values.

 .   [Class A shares of a Munder money market fund that were (1) acquired
    through the use of the exchange privilege and (2) can be traced back to a
    purchase of shares in one or more Munder Funds for which a sales charge was
    paid, can be exchanged for Class A shares of a Fund.]

 .   Class B and Class C shares will continue to age from the date of the
    original purchase and will retain the same CDSC rate as they had before the
    exchange.

 .   You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the Munder Fund that you
    purchase by exchange.

 .   If you are exchanging into shares of a Munder Fund with a higher sales
    charge, you must pay the difference at the time of the exchange.

 .   A share exchange is a taxable event and, accordingly, you may realize a
    taxable gain or loss.

 .   Before making an exchange request, read the prospectus of the Munder Fund
    you wish to purchase by exchange. You can obtain a prospectus for any
    Munder Fund by contacting your broker or calling the Munder Funds at (800)
    438-5789.

 .   Brokers may charge you a fee for handling exchanges.

 .   We may change, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. You
    will be given notice of any material modifications except where notice is
    not required.

Methods for Exchanging Shares
 .   Exchanges By Telephone. You may give exchange instructions by telephone to
    the Funds at (800) 438-5789. You may not exchange shares by telephone if
    you hold share certificates. We reserve the right to reject any telephone
    exchange request and to place restrictions on telephone exchanges.

 .   Exchanges By Mail. You may send exchange requests to your broker or you may
    send them directly to the Funds' transfer agent at The Munder Funds, c/o
    First Data Investor Services Group, P.O. Box 60428, King of Prussia,

Redeeming Shares

Redemption Price
We will redeem shares at the NAV next determined after we receive the redemption
request in proper form. We will reduce the amount you receive by the amount of
any applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).

Please see "Distribution Arrangements" below for information about CDSCs.

Policies for Redeeming Shares

 .   For your protection, a signature guarantee is required for the following
    redemption requests: (a) redemption proceeds greater than $50,000; (b)
    redemption proceeds not being made payable to the record owner of the
    account; (c) redemption proceeds not being mailed to the address of record
    on the account or (d) if the redemption proceeds are being transferred to
    another Munder Fund account with a different registration. You can obtain a
    signature guarantee from a financial institution such as a commercial bank,
    trust company, savings association or from a securities firm having
    membership on a recognized securities exchange.

                                       34
<PAGE>

Methods for Redeeming Shares
You may redeem shares of the Funds in several ways:

 .   By Mail. You may mail your redemption request to: The Munder Funds, c/o
    First Data Investor Services Group, P.O. Box 60428, King of Prussia,
    Pennsylvania 19406-0428. The redemption request should state the name of
    the Fund, share class, account number, amount of redemption, account name
    and where to send the proceeds. All account owners must sign.

 .   By Telephone.  You can redeem your shares by contacting your broker or
    by calling the Funds at (800) 438-5789.  There is no
    minimum requirement for telephone redemptions.

    If you are redeeming at least $1,000 of shares and you have authorized
    expedited redemption on your account application form, simply call the
    Funds prior to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), and request the redemption
    proceeds be mailed to the commercial bank or registered broker-dealer you
    designated on your account application form. We will send your redemption
    proceeds to you on the next business day. We reserve the right at any time
    to change or impose fees for this expedited redemption procedure.

    During periods of unusual economic or market activity, you may experience
    difficulties or delays in effecting telephone redemptions. In such cases
    you should consider placing your redemption request by mail.

 .   You may redeem shares through the Automatic Withdrawal Plan.

Additional Policies For Purchases, Exchanges And
Redemptions

    .  We consider orders to be in "proper form" when all required documents are
       properly completed, signed and received.

    .  The Funds reserves the right to reject any purchase order.

    .  At any time, the Funds may change any of their purchase or redemption
       procedures, and may suspend the sale of their shares.

    .  The Funds may delay sending redemption proceeds for up to seven days,
       or longer if permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    .  We will typically send redemption amounts to you within seven business
       days after you redeem shares. We may hold redemption amounts from the
       sale of shares you purchased by check until the purchase check has
       cleared, which may be as long as 15 days.

    .  To limit the Funds' expenses, we do not currently issue share
       certificates.

    .  A Fund may temporarily stop redeeming shares if:

       .  the New York Stock Exchange is closed;

       .  trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

       .  an emergency exists and the Fund cannot sell its assets or accurately
          determine the value of its assets; or

       .  if the Securities and Exchange Commission orders the Fund to suspend
          redemptions.

    .  If accepted by a Fund, investors may purchase shares of the Fund (other
       than the Real Estate Equity Investment Fund) with securities which the
       Fund may hold. The advisor will determine if the securities are
       consistent with the Fund's objectives and policies. If accepted, the
       securities will be valued the same way the Fund values portfolio
       securities it already owns. Call the Funds at (800) 438-5789 for more
       information.

    .  The Funds reserve the right to make payment for redeemed shares wholly
       or in part by giving the redeeming shareholder portfolio securities.
       The shareholder may pay transaction costs to dispose of these
       securities.

    .  We record all telephone calls for your protection and take measures to
       identify the caller. As long as the Funds' transfer agent takes
       reasonable measures to authenticate telephone requests on an investor's
       account, neither the Funds, the Funds' distributor nor the transfer
       agent will be held responsible

                                       35
<PAGE>

       for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions.

    .  We may redeem your account if its value falls below $250 as a result of
       redemptions (but not as a result of a decline in NAV). You will be
       notified in writing and allowed 60 days to increase the value of your
       account to the minimum investment level.

    .  If you purchased shares directly from the Funds, the transfer agent
       will send you confirmations of the opening of an account and of all
       subsequent purchases, exchanges or redemptions in the account. If your
       account has been set up by a broker or other investment professional,
       account activity will be detailed in their statements to you.

    .  [The exchange privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term
       trading. Excessive exchange activity may interfere with portfolio
       management and have an adverse effect on all shareholders. Each Fund
       and its distributor reserve the right to refuse any purchase or
       exchange request that could adversely affect the fund or its
       operations, including those from any individual or group who, in the
       Fund's view, is likely to engage in excessive trading or any order
       considered market-timing activity. If a Fund refuses a purchase or
       exchange request and the shareholder deems it necessary to redeem their
       account, any CDSC as permitted by the prospectus will be applicable.

       Additionally, in no event will any Fund permit more than six exchanges
       into or out of a Fund in any one-year period per account, tax
       identification number, social security number or related investment
       group. The Munder Money Market Funds are exempt from this policy.]

Shareholder Privileges

Automatic Investment Plan (AIP). Under the AIP you may arrange for periodic
investments in a Fund through automatic deductions from a checking or savings
account. To enroll in the AIP you should complete the AIP application form or
call the Funds at (800) 438-5789. The minimum pre-authorized investment amount
is $50. You may discontinue the AIP at any time. We may discontinue the AIP on
30 days' written notice to you.

Reinvestment Privilege. For 60 days after you sell shares of a Fund, you may
reinvest your redemption proceeds in shares of the same class of a Fund at NAV.
Any CDSC you paid on the amount you are reinvesting will be credited to your
account. You may use this privilege once in any given twelve-month period with
respect to your shares of a Fund. You or your broker must notify the Funds'
transfer agent in writing at the time of reinvestment in order to eliminate the
sales charge on your reinvestment.

Automatic Withdrawal Plan (AWP). If you have an account value of $2,500 or more
in a Fund, you may redeem shares on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual
basis. The minimum withdrawal is $50. We usually process withdrawals on the 20th
day of the month and promptly send you your redemption amount. You may enroll in
the AWP by completing the AWP application form available through the Funds'
transfer agent. To participate in the AWP you must have your dividends
automatically reinvested and may not hold share certificates. You may change or
cancel the AWP at any time upon notice to the Funds' transfer agent. You should
not buy Class A shares (and pay a sales charge) while you participate in the AWP
and you must pay any applicable CDSC when you redeem shares.

Distribution Arrangements
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Share Class Selection

Each Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Each class has its own
cost structure, allowing you to choose the one that best meets your requirements
given the amount of your purchase and the intended length of your investment.
You should consider both ongoing annual expenses and initial sales charge or
CDSC in estimating the costs of investing in a particular class of shares.

Class A shares
 .  Front end sales charge. There are several ways to reduce these sale charges.

 .  Lower annual expenses than Class B and Class C shares.

Class B shares
 .  No front end sales charge.  All your money goes to work for you right
   away.

 .  Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.

 .  A CDSC on shares you sell within six years of purchase.

 .  Automatic conversion to Class A shares approximately six years after
   issuance, thus reducing future annual expenses. o CDSC is waived for certain
   redemptions.

Class C shares
 .  No front end sales charge or CDSC, except for a CDSC for redemptions made
   within the first year after investing. All your money goes to work for you
   right away.

 .  Shares do not convert to another class.

 .  Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.

Each Fund also issues other classes of shares, which have different sales
charges, expense levels and performance. The other classes of shares are
available to limited types of investors. Call (800) 438-5789 to obtain more
information about those classes.

Applicable Sales Charge-class A Shares

You can purchase Class A shares at NAV plus an initial sales charge. This sales
charge as a percentage of your investment decreases as your investment
increases. The current sales charge rates and commissions paid to selected
dealers as follows:

Sales Charge Reductions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges in the following cases:

 .     Letter of Intent. If you intend to purchase at least [$25,000] of Class A
      shares of the Funds, you may wish to complete the Letter of Intent section
      of your account application form. By doing so, you agree to invest a
      certain amount over a 13-month period. You would pay a sales charge on any
      Class A shares you purchase during the 13 months based on the total amount
      to be invested under the Letter of Intent. You can apply any investments
      you made in any of

                                       38
<PAGE>

      the Munder Funds during the preceding 90-day period toward fulfillment of
      the Letter of Intent (although there will be no refund of sales charges
      you paid during the 90-day period). You should inform the Funds' transfer
      agent that you have a Letter of Intent each time you make an investment.

      You are not obligated to purchase the amount specified in the Letter of
      Intent. If you purchase less than the amount specified, however, you must
      pay the difference between the sales charge paid and the sales charge
      applicable to the purchases actually made. The Funds' custodian will hold
      such amount in escrow. The Funds' custodian will pay the escrowed funds to
      your account at the end of the 13 months unless you do not complete your
      intended investment.

 .     Quantity Discounts. You may combine purchases of Class A shares that are
      made by you, your spouse, your children under age 21 and your IRA when
      calculating the sales charge. You must notify your broker or the Funds'
      transfer agent to qualify.

 .     Right of Accumulation. You may add the value of any shares of non-money
      market Munder Funds you already own to the amount of your next Class A
      share investment for purposes of calculating the sales charge at the time
      of the current purchase. You must notify your broker or the Funds'
      transfer agent to qualify.

Certain brokers may not offer these programs or may impose conditions or fees to
use these programs. You should consult with your broker prior to purchasing the
Funds' shares.

For further information on sales charge reductions, call (800) 438-5789.

Cdsc

You pay a CDSC when you redeem:
 .     Class A shares that were bought as part of an investment of at least $1
      million within one year of buying them;

 .     Class B shares within six years of buying them; or

 .     Class C shares within one year of buying them.

These time periods include the time you held Class B or Class C shares of
another Munder Fund which you may have exchanged for Class B or Class C shares
of the Fund you are redeeming.

The CDSC schedule for Class B shares purchased after June 27, 1995 is set forth
below. Consult the Statement of Additional Information for the CDSC schedule for
Class B shares purchased on or before June 27, 1995. The CDSC is based on the
original NAV at the time of your investment or the NAV at the time of
redemption, whichever is lower.

Years Since Purchase                              CDSC
- --------------------                              ----
First...................................          5.00%
Second..................................          4.00%

Fifth...................................          2.00%
Sixth...................................          1.00%
Seventh and thereafter..................          0.00%

[At the time of purchase of Class B shares, the Funds' distributor pays sales
commissions of 4.00% of the purchase price to brokers that initiate and are
responsible for purchases of such Class B shares.]

You will not pay a CDSC to the extent that the value of the redeemed shares
represents:
 .     reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions; or

 .     capital appreciation of shares redeemed.

When you redeem shares, we will assume that you are redeeming first shares
representing reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, then any
appreciation on shares redeemed, and then remaining shares held by you for the
longest period of time. [We will calculate the holding period of Class B shares
of a Fund acquired through an exchange of Class B shares of the Munder Money
Market Fund (which are available only by exchange of Class B shares of a Munder
Fund) from the date that the Class B shares of the initial Munder Fund were
purchased.]

Cdsc Waivers
We will waive the CDSC payable upon redemptions of shares which you purchased
after June 27, 1995 (or acquired through an exchange of shares of another Munder
Fund purchased after June 27, 1995) for:
 .     redemptions made within one year after the death of a shareholder or
      registered joint owner;

 .     minimum required distributions made from an IRA or other retirement plan
      account after you reach age 70 1/2;

 .     involuntary redemptions made by the Fund;

 .     redemptions limited to 10% per year of an account's net asset value. For
      example, if you

                                       39
<PAGE>

      maintain an annual balance of $10,000 you can redeem up to $1,000 annually
      free of charge.

We will waive the CDSC payable upon redemptions of shares which you purchased
after December 1, 1998 (or acquired through an exchange of shares of another
Munder Fund purchased after December 1, 1998) for:
 .     redemptions made from an IRA or other individual retirement plan account
      established through Comerica Securities, Inc. after you reach age 59 1/2
      and after the eighteen month anniversary of the purchase of Fund shares.

Consult the Statement of Additional Information for Class B CDSC waivers which
apply when you redeem shares purchased on or before June 27, 1995 (or acquired
through an exchange of shares of another Munder Fund purchased on or before June
27, 1995).

We will waive the CDSC for Class B shares for all redemptions by Merrill Lynch
Plans if:

(i)    the Plan is recordkept on a daily valuation basis by Merrill Lynch; or
(ii)   the Plan is recordkept on a daily valuation basis by an independent
       recordkeeper whose services are provided through a contract or alliance
       arrangement with Merrill Lynch; or
(iii)  the Plan has less than 500 eligible employees, as determined by the
       Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager, on the date the plan sponsor signs
       the Merrill Lynch Recordkeeping Service Agreement.


12b-1 Fees

The Funds have adopted Rule 12b-1 plans with respect to their Class A, Class B
and Class C shares that allow each Fund to pay distribution and other fees for
the sale of its shares and for services provided to shareholders. Under the
plans, the Funds may pay up to .25% of the daily net assets of Class A, Class B
and Class C shares to pay for certain shareholder services provided by
institutions that have agreements with the Funds' distributor to provide such
services. The Funds may also pay up to .75% of the daily net assets of the Class
B and Class C shares to finance activities relating to the distribution of its
shares.

Because the fees are paid out of each Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over
time these fees will increase the cost of an investment in the Funds and may
cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.

Other Information

The advisor may, from time to time, make payments to banks, broker-dealers or
other financial institutions for certain services to the Funds and/or its
shareholders, including sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and shareholder
servicing. The advisor may make such payments out of its own resources and there
are no additional costs to the Fund or its shareholders.

Please note that Comerica Bank, an affiliate of the advisor, receives a fee from
the Funds for providing shareholder services to its customers who own shares of
the Funds.

Pricing Of Fund Shares
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund's NAV is calculated on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.

The Funds calculate NAV as of the close of business on the New York Stock
Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time).

If the New York Stock Exchange closes early, the Funds will accelerate their
calculation of NAV and transaction deadlines to that time.

The NAV of each Fund is generally based on the market value of the securities
held in the Fund. If market values are not available, the fair value of
securities is determined in good faith by, or using procedures approved by, the
Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Funds.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times that vary from the
closing of the New York Stock Exchange. A Fund values foreign securities at the
latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior
to the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Certain foreign currency exchange
rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the New
York Stock Exchange. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Occasionally, events that affect
these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are
determined and the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. If the advisor
believes that such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities,
these securities may be valued at their fair market value as determined in good
faith by, or using procedures approved by, the Funds' Boards of
Directors/Trustees.

Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days
when a Fund does not price its shares. Therefore, the value of a Fund's
portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to buy or sell
their shares.

Distributions
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a shareholder, you are entitled to your share of a Fund's net income and
gains on its investments. The Funds pass substantially all of its earnings along
to its shareholders as distributions. When the Funds earn dividends from stocks
and interest from debt securities and distributes these earnings to
shareholders, it is called a dividend distribution. A Fund realizes capital
gains when it sells securities for a higher price than it paid. When these gains
are distributed to shareholders, it is called a capital gain distribution.

Balanced Fund, Growth & Income Fund And Small Company Growth Fund: pay
dividends, if any, quarterly.

Real Estate Equity Investment Fund:  pays dividends, if any, monthly.

Growth Opportunities Fund, Equity Selection Fund, International Equity Fund,
Micro-cap Equity Fund, Multi-season Growth Fund, Small-cap Value Fund, Value
Fund, Framlington Emerging Markets Fund, Framlington Global Financial Services
Fund, Framlington Healthcare Fund, Framlington International Growth Fund: pay
dividends, if any, annually.

All Funds: distribute their net realized capital gains, if any, at least
annually.

It is possible that a Fund may make a distribution in excess of the Fund's
earnings and profits. You will treat such a distribution as a return of capital
which is applied against and reduces your basis in your shares. You will treat
the excess of any such distribution over your basis in your shares as gain from
a sale or exchange of the shares.

Each Fund will pay distributions in additional shares of that Fund. If you wish
to receive distributions in cash, either indicate this request on your account
application form or notify the Funds by calling (800) 438-5789.

Federal Tax Considerations
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investments in a Fund may have tax consequences that you should consider. This
section briefly describes some of the more common federal tax consequences. A
more detailed discussion about the tax treatment of distributions from the Funds
and about other potential tax liabilities, including backup withholding for
certain taxpayers and about tax aspects of dispositions of shares of the Funds,
is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. You should consult your
tax adviser about your own particular tax situation.

Taxes on Distributions

You will generally have to pay federal income tax on all Fund distributions.
Distributions will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive the
distributions in cash or in additional shares of the Fund. Shareholders not
subject to tax on their income, generally will not be required to pay any tax on
distributions.

Distributions that are derived from net long-term capital gains generally will
be taxed as long-term capital gains. Dividend distributions and short-term
capital gains generally will be taxed as ordinary income. The tax you pay on a
given capital gains distribution generally depends on how long the Fund held the
portfolio securities it sold. It does not depend on how long you held your Fund
shares.

Distributions are generally taxable to you in the tax year in which they are
paid, with one exception: distributions declared in October, November or
December, but not paid until January of the following year, are taxed as though
they were paid on December 31 in the year in which they were declared.

Shareholders generally are required to report all Fund distributions on their
federal income tax returns. Each year the Funds will send you information
detailing the amount of ordinary income and capital gains paid to you for the
previous year.

Taxes on Sales or Exchanges

If you sell shares of a Fund or exchange them for shares of another Munder Fund,
you generally will be subject to tax on any taxable gain. Your taxable gain is
computed by subtracting your tax basis in the shares from the redemption
proceeds (in the case of a sale) or the value of the shares received (in the
case of an exchange). Because your tax basis depends on the original purchase
price and on the price at which any dividends may have been reinvested, you
should be sure to keep account statements so that you or your tax preparer will
be able to determine whether a sale will result in a taxable gain.


Other Considerations

If you buy shares of a Fund just before the Fund makes any distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and then receive back a portion of the
money you have just invested in the form of a taxable distribution.

If you have not provided complete, correct taxpayer information, by law, the
Funds must withhold a portion of your distributions and redemption proceeds to
pay federal income taxes

Management
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment Advisors and Sub-Advisor

Munder Capital Management ("MCM"), 480 Pierce Street, Birmingham, Michigan 48009
is the investment advisor of each Fund other than the International Equity Fund.
World Asset Management, L.L.C. "World", 255 East Brown Street, Birmingham,
Michigan 48009, is the investment advisor of the International Equity Fund.
World is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCM. As of September 30, 1999, MCM [and
its affiliates] had approximately $__ billion in assets under management, of
which $__ billion were invested in equity securities, $__ billion were invested
in money market or other short-term instruments, $__ billion were invested in
other fixed income securities, and $__ billion in non-discretionary assets. As
of September 30, 1999, World had approximately $__ in assets under management.

The advisors provide overall investment management for their respective Funds.
Except for the Framlington Funds, they also provide all research and credit
analysis and are responsible for all purchases and sales of portfolio
securities.

Framlington Overseas Investment Management Limited ("Framlington"), a subsidiary
of MCM, is the sub-advisor of the Framlington Funds.

Framlington provides research and credit analysis for each of the Framlington
Funds and is responsible for making all purchases and sales of portfolio
securities for each of the Framlington Funds other than the Framlington Global
Financial Services Fund. MCM and Framlington each manage a portion of the assets
of the Framlington Global Financial Services Fund. MCM is responsible for all
purchases and sales of domestic securities held by the Framlington Global
Financial Services Fund. Framlington is responsible for the allocation of the
Fund's assets among countries and for making all purchases and sales of foreign
securities held by the Fund.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, each Fund paid an advisory fee at an
annual rate based on the average daily net assets of the Fund (after waivers, if
any) as follows:


Balanced Fund                           0.65%
Equity Selection Fund                   0.75%
Growth & Income Fund                    0.75%
Growth Opportunities Fund               0.75%
International Equity Fund               0.75%
Micro-Cap Equity Fund                   1.00%
Multi-Season Growth Fund                0.75%
Real Estate Equity Investment Fund      0.74%
Small-Cap Value Fund                    0.75%
Small Company Growth Fund               0.75%
Value Fund                              0.74%
Framlington Emerging Markets Fund       1.25%
Framlington Global Financial Services
Fund                                    0.75%
Framlington Healthcare Fund             1.00%
Framlington International Growth Fund   1.00%


During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, a portion of the advisory fees for
the Multi-Season Growth Fund were waived. As a result, the payments shown above
for those Funds were less than the contractual advisory fees of 1.00% of the
first $500 million of the Multi-Season Growth Fund's average daily net assets
and .75% of that Fund's average daily net assets over $500 million.

Performance of Framlington Accounts Managed by the Sub-Advisor.

The tables below contain certain performance information provided by the sub-
advisor relating to accounts managed by the sub-advisor which have investment
objectives and policies similar to those of the corresponding Framlington Funds.

trust organized under the laws of the United Kingdom managed by the same
personnel of the sub-advisor with similar investment objectives and policies to
the Framlington Healthcare Fund. In the case of Emerging Markets portfolio
performance, the data relates to a Canadian-based institutional emerging markets
portfolio managed by the same personnel of the sub-advisor with similar
investment objectives and policies to the Framlington Emerging Markets Fund.

The trust account performance is provided by Standard & Poor's Micropal, an

closing rates. The performance figures are net of brokerage commissions, actual
investment advisory fees and initial sales charges. The data assume the
reinvestment of net income and capital gain distributions. The trust account
returns are calculated using beginning offer and ending bid prices for periods
ended December 31, 1996.

You should not rely on the following performance data of the sub-advisor's
client accounts as an indication of future performance of the Framlington Funds.
It should be noted that the management of the Funds will be affected by Revenue
Code to qualify as a regulated investment company.

Financial Highlights
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The financial highlights table is intended to help shareholders understand each
Fund's financial performance for the past 5 years (or, if shorter, the period of
the Fund's operations). Certain information reflects financial results for a
single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an
investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a particular class of
the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Because
Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of Equity Selection Fund, Growth
Opportunities Fund and Framlington Global Financial Services Fund had not
commenced operations on June 30, 1999, financial highlights are not presented
for those Funds. The information has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP,
independent accountants, whose report, along with each Fund's financial
statements, are included in the annual reports of the Funds, and are
incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information. You may
obtain the annual reports without charge by calling (800) 438-5789.

Risk/Return Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Risk/Return Summary briefly describes the goals and principal investment
strategies of the Funds and the principal risks of investing in the Funds. For
further information on these and the Funds' other investment strategies and
risks, please read the section entitled More About The Funds.

The Risk/Return Summary includes a table for each Fund showing its average
annual returns and a bar chart showing its annual returns. The table and bar
chart provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in each Fund
by showing:

 .    how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years (or over the
     life of the Fund if the Fund is less than 10 years old) compare to those of
     a broad based securities market index; and;

 .    changes in the Fund's performance from year to year over 10 years (or over
     the life of the Fund if the Fund is less than 10 years old).

When you consider this information, please remember that a Fund's performance in
past years is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

An investment in the Funds is not a bank deposit and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency.

Certain terms used in this prospectus are defined in the Glossary.

Equity Funds


Balanced Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide an attractive investment return through a
combination of growth of capital and current income.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by allocating its assets among three asset groups:
equity securities, fixed income securities and cash equivalents.

The Fund normally will invest at least 25% of its assets in fixed income
securities and no more than 75% of its assets in equity securities.  The Fund
will notify shareholders at least 30 days before changing this policy.

The advisor will allocate the Fund's assets to the three asset groups based on
its view of the following factors, among others:

 .    general market and economic conditions and trends;
 .    interest rates and inflation rates;
 .    fiscal and monetary developments; and
 .    long-term corporate earnings growth.

The advisor will try to take advantage of changing economic conditions by
adjusting the ratio of equity securities to fixed income securities or cash
equivalents.  For example, if the advisor believes that rapid economic growth
will lead to better corporate earnings in the future, then it might increase the
Fund's equity securities holdings and reduce its fixed income securities and
cash equivalents holdings.

The Fund's fixed income securities include:
 .    U.S. Government securities;
 .    obligations of foreign governments;
 .    corporate obligations;
 .    zero coupon bonds;
 .    variable and floating rate securities;
 .    mortgage and other asset-backed securities; and
 .    stripped securities.

The Fund's cash equivalents are short-term, high-quality money market
instruments and include:
 .    commercial paper;
 .    bankers' acceptances and certificates of deposit;
 .    corporate obligations; and
 .    U.S. Government securities.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities and enter into futures and
options on futures contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, interest
rate risk and credit risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.  To the extent that
the Fund enters into futures and options on futures contracts, it may be subject
to derivatives risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Equity Selection Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity
securities.

The Fund invests in equity securities which the advisor believes are undervalued
compared to stocks of other companies in the same industry.

The Fund generally invests in companies with market capitalizations of at least
$1 billion.

The Fund diversifies its assets by industry in approximately the same weightings
as those of the S&P 500.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks


Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and medium-
size company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Performance

As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund had not commenced operations and,
therefore, does not have annual returns for a full calendar year.  For this
reason, a bar chart and performance table showing performance information and
information on the Fund's best and worst calendar quarters is not provided in
this prospectus.

Growth & Income Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide capital appreciation and current income.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing primarily in dividend-paying equity
securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its
assets in income-producing common stocks and convertible preferred stocks.

The Fund may also purchase fixed income securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock.

The advisor generally selects large, well-known companies that it believes have
favorable prospects for dividend growth and capital appreciation. The Fund will
seek to produce a current yield greater than the S&P 500.

The Fund focuses on dividend-paying equity securities because, over time,
dividend income has accounted for a significant portion of the total return of
the S&P 500.  In addition, dividends are usually a more stable and predictable
source of return than capital appreciation.  The advisor believes that stocks
which distribute a high level of current income generally have more stable
prices than those which pay below average dividends.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, interest
rate risk and credit risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Growth Opportunities Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in the equity
securities of companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $10
billion.

Its style, which focuses on both growth prospects and valuation, is known as
GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) and seeks to produce attractive returns
during various market environments.

The advisor chooses the Fund's investments by reviewing the earnings growth of
approximately 10,000 companies over the past three years and investing in
approximately 50 to 100 companies based on:

 .    superior earnings growth;
 .    financial stability;
 .    relative market value; and
 .    price changes compared to the S&Ps MidCap 400 Index.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and medium-
size company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Performance

As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has not completed a full calendar
year of operations.  For this reason, a bar chart and performance table showing
performance information and information on the Fund's best and worst calendar
quarters is not provided in this prospectus.

Index 500 Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide performance and income that is comparable to the
S&P 500. The S&P 500 is an index of 500 stocks which emphasizes large
capitalization companies.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by normally holding the securities of at least 400 of
the stocks in the S&P 500.

The Fund is managed through the use of a "quantitative" investment approach and
tries to mirror the composition and performance of the S&P 500 through
statistical procedures.  As a result, the advisor does not use traditional
methods of fund investment management, i.e., it does not select stocks on the
basis of economic, financial and market analysis.

The Fund will try to achieve a correlation between the performance of its
portfolio and that of the S&P 500 of at least .95.  A correlation of 1.0 would
mean that the changes in the Fund's price mirror exactly the changes in the S&P
500.

The Fund may also enter into futures contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund is market risk.  To the
extent that the Fund purchases foreign securities, it may be subject to foreign
securities risk.  To the extent that the Fund enters into futures contracts, it
may be subject to derivatives risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks

International Equity Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing primarily in foreign securities including
American Depositary Receipts.

Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the Fund's assets are invested
in equity securities in at least three foreign countries.  The Fund mostly
invests in mature markets, but may also invest in emerging markets.

The Fund emphasizes companies with a market capitalization of at least $250
million.

At least once a quarter, the advisor creates a list of foreign securities and
American Depositary Receipts which the Fund may purchase based on the country
where the company is located, its competitive advantages, its past financial
record, its future prospects for growth and the market for its securities.  The
advisor updates the securities list frequently (at least quarterly), adds new
securities to the list if they are eligible and sells securities not on the
updated securities list as soon as practicable.

After the advisor creates the securities list, it divides the list into two
sections. The first section is designed to provide broad coverage of
international markets.  The second section increases exposure to securities that
the advisor expects will perform better than other stocks in their industry
sectors and their markets as a whole.  When the advisor believes broader market
exposure will benefit the Fund, it will allocate up to 100% of the Fund's assets
in first section securities.  When the advisor identifies strong potential for
specific securities to perform well, the Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets
in second section securities.

The Fund may also enter into futures and options on futures contracts, forward
currency exchange contracts and purchase and sell options.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, foreign
securities risk and currency risk.  To the extent that the Fund enters into
futures and options on futures contracts, and forward currency exchange
contracts, and purchases and sells options, it may be subject to derivatives
risk.

is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Micro-Cap Equity Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity
securities of small capitalization companies.  Small capitalization companies
means companies having a market capitalization within the range of the companies
included in the Wilshire Micro-Cap Index.  As of the date of this prospectus,
such capitalizations do not exceed approximately $300 million, which is
considerably less than the market capitalization of S&P 500 companies.

The Fund attempts to provide investors with potentially higher returns than a
fund that invests primarily in larger, more established companies.  Since
smaller capitalization companies are generally not as well known to investors
and have less of an investor following than larger companies, they may provide
higher returns due to inefficiencies in the marketplace.

The advisor will choose companies that:
 .    present the ability to grow significantly over the next several years;
 .    may benefit from changes in technology, regulations and industry sector
     trends; and
 .    are still in the developmental stage and may have limited product lines.

There is no limit on the length of operating history for the companies in which
the Fund may invest.  The Fund may also invest in equity securities of larger
capitalization companies.  The Fund may invest without limit in initial public
offerings of small capitalization companies.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and small
company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign securities,
it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Multi-Season Growth Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.  This goal is
"fundamental" and cannot be changed without shareholder approval.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity
securities.  The Fund generally invests in equity securities of companies with
market capitalizations over $1 billion.  Its style, which focuses on both growth
prospects and valuation, is known as GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) and
seeks to produce attractive returns during various market environments.

The advisor chooses the Fund's investments by reviewing the earnings growth of
approximately 5,500 companies over the past five years and investing in
approximately 50 to 100 companies based on:

 .    superior earnings growth;

Real Estate Equity Investment Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide both capital appreciation and current income.
This goal is "fundamental" and cannot be changed without shareholder approval.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least
65% of its total assets in equity securities of U.S. companies which are
principally engaged in the real estate industry or which own significant real
estate.

A company is "principally engaged" in the real estate industry if at least 50%
of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership,
construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real
estate.  The Fund will not own real estate directly.

The companies in which the Fund primarily invests include:
 .    equity real estate investment trusts ("REITS");
 .    brokers, home builders and real estate developers;
 .    companies with substantial real estate holdings (for example, paper and
     lumber producers, hotels and entertainment companies);
 .    manufacturers and distributors of building supplies;
 .    mortgage REITS; and
 .    financial institutions which issue or service mortgages.

In addition, the Fund may invest:
 .    up to 35% of its assets in companies other than real estate industry
     companies;
 .    in fixed income securities including up to 5% of its assets in debt
     securities rated below investment grade or unrated if secured by real
     estate assets and if the advisor believes that the underlying collateral is
     sufficient; and
 .    in REITS only if they are traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and sector
risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Small-Cap Value Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation, with income as a
secondary objective.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least
65% of its assets in equity securities of small capitalization companies.  Small
capitalization companies means companies with market capitalizations within the
range of the companies in the Russell 2000 Index.  As of the date of this
prospectus, such capitalizations do not exceed approximately $1.5 billion, which
is less than the market capitalization of S&P 500 companies.

The Fund attempts to provide investors with potentially higher returns than a
fund that invests primarily in larger, more established companies.  Since small
companies are generally not as well known to investors and have less of an
investor following than larger companies, they may provide higher returns due to
inefficiencies in the marketplace.

The advisor will concentrate on companies that it believes are undervalued.  A
company's equity securities may be undervalued because the company is
temporarily overlooked or out of favor due to general economic conditions, a
market decline, industry conditions or developments affecting the particular
company.  The Fund will usually invest in equity securities of companies with
price/earnings ratios, price/cash flow ratios and price/book values that are low
relative to the general market.

In addition to valuation, the advisor considers these factors, among others, in
choosing companies:
 .    a stable or improving earnings record;
 .    sound finances;
 .    above-average growth prospects;
 .    participation in a fast growing industry;
 .    strategic niche position in a specialized market; and
 .    adequate capitalization.

The Fund may invest in equity securities of larger capitalization companies.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities and enter into futures and
options on futures contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and small
company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign securities,
it may be subject to foreign securities risk.  To the extent that the Fund
enters into futures and options on futures contracts, it may be subject to
derivatives risk.

is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Small Company Growth Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least
65% of its assets in equity securities of small capitalization companies with
market capitalizations below $1 billion, which is less than the market
capitalization of S&P 500 companies.

The Fund attempts to provide investors with potentially higher returns than a
fund that invests primarily in larger, more established companies.  Since
smaller capitalization companies are generally not as well-known to investors
and have less of an investor following than larger companies, they may provide
higher returns due to inefficiencies in the marketplace.

secondary goal is to provide income.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goals by investing primarily in the equity securities of
well-established companies with intermediate to large capitalizations, which
typically exceed $750 million.

The Fund will invest at least 65% of its assets in equity securities.

The advisor will focus on companies that it believes are undervalued.  A
company's equity securities may be undervalued because the company is
temporarily overlooked or out of favor due to general economic conditions, a
market decline, industry conditions or developments affecting the particular
company.  The Fund will usually invest in equity securities of companies with
price/earnings ratios, price/cash flow ratios and price/book values that are low
relative to the general market.

In addition to valuation, the advisor considers these factors, among others, in
choosing companies:
 .    a stable or improving earnings record;
 .    sound finances;
 .    above-average growth prospects;
 .    participation in a fast growing industry;
 .    strategic niche position in a specialized market; and
 .    adequate capitalization.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities and enter into futures and
options on futures contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and medium-
size company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.  To the extent that
the Fund enters into futures and options on futures contracts, it may be subject
to derivatives risk.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity

financial services industry and companies providing services primarily within
the financial services industry.  The Fund focuses specifically on companies
which are likely to benefit from growth or consolidation in the financial

     regions;

     regions; and
 .    its assessment of the prospects for a particular equity market and its
     currency.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in
at least three different countries, including the United States.  The Fund may
invest in companies located in countries with mature markets and in those with
emerging markets.

International Bond Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to realize a competitive total return through a combination
of current income and capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least
65% of its total assets in a broad range of bonds and other fixed income
securities of foreign issuers.  These may include:

 .    obligations issued by foreign governments, their agencies,
     instrumentalities or political subdivisions;
 .    obligations issued or guaranteed by supranational organizations (such as
     the World Bank);
 .    obligations of foreign banks or bank holding companies; and
 .    obligations of foreign corporations.

The Fund will invest in the securities of issuers in at least three foreign
countries.

The Fund's strategy focuses on analysis of bond yield relationships and
specifically focuses on making allocation decisions based on yield relationships
between countries, pricing inefficiencies in the marketplace and yield curve
analysis.

The Fund's dollar-weighted average maturity will generally range between three
and fifteen years.

The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in domestic obligations, including
U.S. Government securities and obligations of domestic banks and corporations.

Summary of Principal Risks of The Funds

The share price of the Funds will change daily based on market conditions and
other factors. Therefore, you may lose money if you invest in the Funds.

The following summary briefly describes the principal risks that may affect a
Fund's portfolio as a whole. More information about the Funds' principal
investment strategies and their associated risks is contained in the section
entitled "More About the Funds."

SECTOR RISK is the risk of loss due to concentrating investments in a particular
industry sector. Adverse economic, business or political developments affecting
that industry sector could have a major effect on the value of the Fund's
investments. Real Estate Equity Investment Fund, Global Financial Services Fund
and Healthcare Fund are particularly subject to this Risk.

CREDIT (OR DEFAULT) RISK is the risk of loss because an issuer of a security may
default on its payment obligations. Also, an issuer may suffer adverse changes
in its financial condition that could lower the credit quality of a security,
leading to greater volatility in the price of the security and in shares of the
Fund. A change in the quality rating of a bond can affect the bond's liquidity
and make it more difficult for the Fund to sell. Funds particularly subject to
this risk are: Balanced Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond
Fund, International Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, Michigan Tax-Free
Bond Fund, Tax-Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, Cash
Investment Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund.

DERIVATIVES RISK is the risk that loss may result from a Fund's use of futures
and options on futures contracts, options, forward currency exchange contracts
and other forms of derivative instruments. The primary risk with many
derivatives is that they can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or
losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative
instrument. Funds particularly subject to this risk are: Balanced Fund,
International Equity Fund, Index 500 Fund, Value Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund,
Global Financial Services Fund, International Growth Fund and International Bond
Fund.

FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK is the risk of loss because investments by a Fund in
foreign securities may experience greater and more rapid change in value than
investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities are generally more volatile
and less liquid than U.S. securities, in part because of greater political and
economic risks and because there is less public information available about
foreign companies. Issuers of foreign securities are generally not subject to
the same degree of regulation as are U.S. issuers. The reporting, accounting and
auditing standards of foreign countries may differ, in some cases significantly,
from U.S. standards. Funds particularly subject to this risk are: Balanced Fund,
Equity Selection Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund,
International Equity Fund, Micro-Cap Equity Fund, Value Fund, Small-Cap Value
Fund, Small Company Growth Fund, Multi-Season Growth Fund, Emerging Markets
Fund, Global Financial Services Fund, Healthcare Fund, International Growth
Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, International Bond Fund and Cash
Investment Fund.

         Currency Risk. Funds that invest in foreign securities denominated in
         foreign currencies may also be subject to currency risk. This is the
         risk of loss because a decline in the value of foreign currencies
         relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of a Fund's portfolio
         securities denominated in those currencies. Funds particularly subject
         to this risk are: International Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Fund,
         Global Financial Services Fund, Healthcare Fund, International Growth
         Fund and International Bond Fund.

         Emerging Markets Risk. Funds that invest in foreign securities of
         issuers in emerging market countries are subject to emerging markets
         risk. Investing in emerging market countries heightens the risks
         presented by investing in foreign securities and currencies and may
         result in loss to the Fund. Numerous emerging countries have recently
         experienced serious, and potentially continuing, economic and political
         problems. Stock markets in many emerging countries are relatively small
         and risky. Foreigners are often limited in their ability to invest in,
         and withdraw assets from, these markets. Additional restrictions may be
         imposed under emergency conditions. Funds particularly subject to this
         risk are: International Equity Fund, Emerging

                                       29
<PAGE>

         Markets Fund and International Growth Fund.

INTEREST RATE RISK is the risk of loss because increases in prevailing interest
rates will cause fixed-income securities held by a Fund to decline in value.
Longer term bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than
shorter term bonds. Generally, the longer the average maturity of the bonds held
by the Fund, the more the Fund's share price will fluctuate in response to
interest rate changes. Funds particularly subject to this risk are: Balanced
Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, International
Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free
Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, Cash Investment Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund
and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund.

MARKET RISK is the risk of loss because the value of the securities in which a
Fund invests may decline in response to general economic conditions. Price
changes may be temporary or last for extended periods. For example, stock prices
have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. In addition, the value of
Fund's investments may decline if the particular companies the Funds invest in
do not preform well. All of the Munder Equity Funds are subject to this risk.

MEDIUM-SIZE COMPANY STOCK RISK is the risk of loss because the stocks of medium-
size companies may be more susceptible to market downturns, and their prices may
be more volatile than the stocks of larger companies. Equity Selection Fund,
Growth Opportunities Fund, Value Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, Global Financial
Services Fund, International Growth Fund and Healthcare Fund are particularly
subject to this risk.

NON-DIVERSIFIED RISK is the risk of loss because a Fund that invests more of its
assets in fewer issuers than many other funds do, may be more susceptible to
adverse developments affecting any single issuer, and more susceptible to
greater losses because of these developments. For example, the Michigan Tax-Free
Bond Fund invests primarily in Michigan municipal obligations, if Michigan
issuers suffer serious financial difficulties, jeopardizing their ability to pay
their obligations, the Fund may suffer a loss. International Bond Fund, Michigan
Tax-Free Bond Fund and Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund are subject to this
risk.

PREPAYMENT RISK is the risk that a Fund may experience losses when an issuer
exercises its right to pay principal on an obligation held by the Fund (such as
a mortgage-backed security) earlier than expected. This may happen during a
period of declining interest rates. Under these circumstances, the Fund may be
unable to recoup all of its initial investment and will suffer from having to
reinvest in lower yielding securities. The loss of higher yielding securities
and the reinvestment at lower interest rates can reduce the Fund's income, total
return and share price. Funds particularly subject to this risk are: Balanced
Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund and Cash
Investment Fund.

SMALL COMPANY STOCK RISK is the risk of loss because the stocks of small
companies may have more risks than those of larger companies. Small companies
often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources
than larger, more established companies. As a result, they may be more sensitive
to changing economic conditions, which could increase the volatility of a Fund's
portfolio. In addition, small company stocks typically are traded in lower
volume making them more difficult to sell. Funds particularly subject to this
risk are: Micro-Cap Equity Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small Company Growth Fund
and Healthcare Fund.

purchase of common stocks. Equity securities may be listed on a stock exchange
or NASDAQ National Market System or unlisted. Warrants are rights to purchase
securities at a specified time at a specified price.

Fixed income securities are securities that pay interest at set times at either
fixed, floating or variable rates, or which are issued at a discount to their
principal amount instead of making periodic interest payments. Fixed income
securities include corporate bonds, debentures and other similar corporate debt
instruments, zero coupon bonds and variable amount master demand notes.

Convertible securities are bonds or preferred stocks that may be converted
(exchanged) into the common stock of the issuing company within a specified time
period for a specified number of shares. Convertible securities offer the Funds
a way to participate in the capital appreciation of the common stock into which
the securities are convertible, while earning higher current income than is
available from the common stock.

U.S. Government securities are securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. These securities include U.S.
Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bonds and obligations of the
Federal Home Loan Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association and
Government National Mortgage Association.

Money market instruments are high-quality, short-term instruments including
commercial paper, bankers' acceptances and negotiable certificates of deposit of
banks or savings and loan associations, short-term corporate obligations and
short-term U.S. Government securities.

Municipal obligations are obligations of states, territories and possessions of
the United States and the District of Columbia, and their political
subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. They may be payable
from the issuer's general revenue, the revenue of a specific project, current
revenues or a reserve fund.

Other

1940 Act is the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Internal Revenue Code is the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

NAV is the net asset value per share of a Fund. NAV is the value of a single
share of a Fund. NAV for Class K shares is calculated by (1) taking the current
value of a Fund's total assets allocated to that class of shares, (2)
subtracting the liabilities and expenses charged to the class (3) dividing that
amount by the total number of shares of that Class outstanding.

A diversified investment company is an investment company that may not invest
more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer other than the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. This limit applies only to 75% of
a diversified Fund's assets. In addition, a diversified Fund cannot invest more
than 25% of its assets in a single issuer. These limitations do not apply to the
non-diversified Funds.

Special Risks And Other Considerations

Derivative Risk. "Derivative" instruments are financial contracts whose value is
based on an underlying security, a currency exchange rate, an interest rate or a
market index. Many types of instruments representing a wide range of potential
risks and rewards are derivatives, including futures contracts, options on
futures contracts, options, swaps, forward currency contracts and structured
debt obligations (including collateralized mortgage obligations and other types
of asset-backed securities, "stripped" securities and various floating rate
instruments).

          Investment Strategy. All Funds (except the Short Term Treasury Fund
          and the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) may use derivative
          instruments. Derivatives can be used for hedging (attempting to reduce
          risk by offsetting one investment position with another) or
          speculation (taking a position in the hope of increasing return). The
          Funds may, but are not required to, use derivatives for hedging
          purposes or for the purpose of remaining fully invested or maintaining
          liquidity. The Funds will not use derivatives for speculative
          purposes.

          Special Risks. The use of derivative instruments exposes a Fund to
          additional risks and transaction costs. Risks of derivative
          instruments include: (1) the risk that interest rates, securities
          prices and currency markets will not move in the direction that a
          portfolio manager anticipates; (2) imperfect correlation between the
          price of derivative instruments and movements in the prices of the
          securities, interest rates or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact
          that skills needed to use these strategies are different than those
          needed to select portfolio securities; (4) the possible absence of a
          liquid secondary market for any particular instrument and possible
          exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it
          difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; (5) the
          risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a
          loss substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment in that
          instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); (6)
          particularly in the case of privately-negotiated instruments, the risk
          that the counterparty will not perform its obligations, which could
          leave the Fund worse off than if it had not entered into the position;
          and (7) the inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid
          adverse tax consequences.

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign securities include direct investments in non-
U.S. dollar-denominated securities traded outside of the United States and
dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the United States.
Foreign securities also include indirect investments such as American Depository
Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depository Receipts ("EDRs") and Global Depository
Receipts

                                       38
<PAGE>

("GDRs"). ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts representing shares of
foreign-based corporations. ADRs are issued by U.S. banks or trust companies,
and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on
the underlying foreign shares. EDRs and GDRs are receipts issued by non-U.S.
financial institutions that often trade on foreign exchanges. They represent
ownership in an underlying foreign or U.S. security and are generally
denominated in a foreign currency.

          Investment Strategy. International Equity Fund, International Growth
          Fund, Framlington Global Financial Services Fund, Framlington
          Healthcare Fund, Framlington International Growth Fund and
          International Bond Fund will invest all or a substantial portion of
          their total assets in foreign securities. The other Equity Funds
          (except Real Estate Investment Fund), the Income Funds, and Cash
          Investment Fund may invest up to 25% of their total assets in foreign
          securities. The Tax-Free Funds may invest up to 10% of their total
          assets in foreign securities.

          Special Risks. Foreign securities involve special risks and costs.
          Investment in the securities of foreign governments involves the risk
          that foreign governments may default on their obligations or may
          otherwise not respect the integrity of their debt.

          Investment in foreign securities may involve higher costs than
          investment in U.S. securities, including higher transaction and
          custody costs as well as the imposition of additional taxes by foreign
          governments. Foreign investments may also involve risks associated
          with the level of currency exchange rates, less complete financial
          information about the issuers, less market liquidity, more market
          volatility and political instability. Future political and economic
          developments, the possible imposition of withholding taxes on dividend
          income, the possible seizure or nationalization of foreign holdings,
          the possible establishment of exchange controls or freezes on the
          convertibility of currency, or the adoption of other governmental
          restrictions might adversely affect an investment in foreign
          securities. Additionally, foreign issuers may be subject to less
          stringent regulation, and to different accounting, auditing and
          recordkeeping requirements.

          Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods
          of time causing a Fund's net asset value to fluctuate as well. A
          decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar
          will reduce the value of a foreign currency-denominated security. To
          the extent that a Fund is invested in foreign securities while also
          maintaining currency positions, it may be exposed to greater combined
          risk. The Funds' respective net currency positions may expose them to
          risks independent of their securities positions.

          Additional risks are involved when investing in countries with
          emerging economies or securities markets. In general, the securities
          markets of these countries are less liquid, are subject to greater
          price volatility, have smaller market capitalizations and may have
          problems with securities registration and custody. In addition,
          because the securities settlement procedures are less developed in
          these countries, a Fund may be required to deliver securities before
          receiving payment and may also be unable to complete transactions
          during market disruptions. As a result of these and other risks,
          investments in these countries generally present a greater risk of
          loss to the Fund.


          A further risk of investing in foreign securities is the risk that a
          Fund may be adversely affected by the conversion of certain European
          currencies into the Euro. This conversion, which is under way, is
          scheduled to be completed in the year 2002. However, problems with the
          conversion process and delays could increase volatility in world
          markets and affect European markets in particular.

Investments in Financial Services Companies by Framlington Global Financial
Services Fund. Financial services companies are subject to extensive
governmental regulation which may limit the financial commitments they can make,
and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Insurance companies may be
subject to severe price competition. Proposed legislation that would reduce the
separation between commercial and investment

                                       39
<PAGE>

banking businesses, if enacted, could significantly impact the industry and the
Fund. The Fund may be riskier than a fund investing in a broader range of
industries.

Investments in the Healthcare Industry by Framlington Healthcare Fund. The Fund
will invest most of its assets in the healthcare industry, which is particularly
affected by rapidly changing technology and extensive government regulation,
including cost containment measures. The Fund may be riskier than a fund
investing in a broader range of industries.

Investments in the Real Estate Industry by Real Estate Equity Investment Fund.
The Fund will invest primarily in the real estate industry and may invest more
than 25% of its assets in any one sector of the real estate industry. As a
result, the Fund will be particularly vulnerable to declines in real estate
prices and new construction rates. The Fund may be riskier than a fund investing
in a broader range of industries.

Investment Grade Credit Risk. A security is considered investment grade if, at
the time of purchase, it is rated:

 .   BBB or higher by S&P;
 .   Baa or higher by Moody's;
 .   BBB or higher by Duff & Phelps; or
 .   BBB or higher by Fitch.

A security will be considered investment grade if it receives one of the above
ratings, even if it receives a lower rating from other rating organizations.

          Investment Strategy. Except as stated in the next section, fixed
          income and convertible securities purchased by the Funds will
          generally be rated at least investment grade. The Funds may also
          invest in unrated securities if the advisor or sub-advisor believes
          they are comparable in quality.

          Special Risks. Although securities rated "BBB" by S&P, Duff & Phelps
          or Fitch, or Baa by Moody's are considered investment grade, they have
          certain speculative characteristics. Therefore, they may be subject to
          a higher risk of default than obligations with higher ratings.
          Subsequent to its purchase by a Fund, a rated security may cease to be
          rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum rating required
          for purchase by the Fund. The advisor or sub-advisor will consider
          such an event in determining whether the Fund should continue to hold
          the security.

Non-Investment Grade Credit Risk. Non-investment grade fixed income and
convertible securities are generally rated "BB" or below by S&P, Duff & Phelps
or Fitch, or "Ba" by Moody's.

          Investment Strategy. All Equity Funds may invest a portion of their
          total assets in non-investment grade securities when the advisor or
          sub-advisor determines that such securities are desirable in light of
          the Funds' investment objectives and portfolio mix.

          Special Risks. Non-investment grade securities (sometimes referred to
          as "junk bonds") are subject to greater risk than investment grade
          securities. They generally present a higher degree of credits risks
          (default). In addition, the market value of these securities tends to
          be more sensitive to individual corporate developments and to changes
          in interest rates and other economic developments than higher-rated
          securities.

Tracking Risk. Because the Index 500 Fund pays fees and transaction costs, while
the S&P 500 does not, the Fund's returns are likely to be lower than those of
the S&P 500. Tracking variance may also result from share purchases and
redemptions and other factors.

Short-Term Trading. The Funds' historical portfolio turnover rates are shown in
the Financial Highlights.

          Investment Strategy. Some Funds may engage in short-term trading,
          including, in the case of the Equity Funds, initial public offerings.

                                       40
<PAGE>

         Special Risks.  A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) could
         produce higher trading costs and taxable distributions, which could
         detract from a Fund's performance.

Defensive Investing.  Each Fund (except the Index 500 Fund) may invest all or
any portion of its assets in short-term obligations as a temporary defensive
measure in response to adverse market or economic conditions.

         Special Risks.  A Fund may not achieve its investment objective when
         its assets are invested in short-term obligations The Index 500 Fund
         cannot take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of
         a declining market.

Year 2000 Risk.  Like other mutual funds, financial institutions, business
organizations and individuals around the world, the Funds could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by the advisor and the Funds' other
service providers do not properly process and calculate date-related information
and data from and after January 1, 2000. The advisor is taking steps that it
believes are reasonably designed to address year 2000 computer-related problems
with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain assurances that
comparable steps are being taken by the Funds' other major service providers.
Although there can be no assurances, the advisor believes that these steps will
be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on any of the Funds. Similarly, there
can be no assurance that year 2000 issues will not affect the companies and
other issuers in which the Funds invest or affect worldwide markets and
economies.

Additional Description Of Investments And Investment Strategies

Asset-Backed Securities.  Asset-backed securities are debt securities backed by
mortgages, installment sales contract and credit card receivables. The
securities are sponsored by entities such as government agencies, banks,
financial companies and commercial or industrial companies. In effect, these
securities "pass through" the monthly payments that individual borrowers make on
their mortgage or other assets net of any fees paid to the issuers. Examples of
these include guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized
mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate mortgage investment conduits
("REMICs").

         Investment Strategy.  All Income Funds, Balanced Fund, Framlington
         Global Financial Services Funds and Cash Investment Fund may invest a
         portion of its assets in Asset-Backed Securities.

         Special Risks.  In addition to credit and market risk, asset-backed
         securities involve repayment risk because the underlying assets (loans)
         may be prepaid at any time. The value of these securities may also
         change because of actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness
         of the originator, the servicing agent, the financial institution
         providing the credit support, or the counterparty. Like other fixed
         income securities, when interest rates rise the value of an asset-
         backed security generally will decline. However, when interest rates
         decline, the value of an asset-backed security with prepayment features
         may not increase as much as that of other fixed income securities. In
         addition, non-mortgage asset-backed securities involve certain risks
         not presented by mortgage-backed securities. Primarily, these
         securities do not have the benefit of the same security interest in the
         underlying collateral.

Borrowing and Reverse Repurchase Agreements.  The Funds can borrow money from
banks and enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and other
financial institutions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of
securities held by a Fund subject to the Fund's agreement to repurchase them at
a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest).

         Investment Strategy.  Each Fund may borrow money in an amount up to 5%
         of its assets for temporary emergency purposes and in an amount up to
         33 1/3% of its assets to meet redemptions. This is a fundamental policy
         which can be changed only by shareholders.

         Special Risks.  Borrowings and reverse repurchase agreements by a Fund
         may involve leveraging. If the securities held by the Fund decline in
         value while these transactions are outstanding, the Fund's net asset
         value will decline in value by proportionately more than the decline in
         value of the securities. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements
         involve the risks that

                                       41
<PAGE>

         the interest income earned by the Fund (from the investment of the
         proceeds) will be less than the interest expense of the transaction,
         that the market value of the securities sold by the Fund will decline
         below the price the Fund is obligated to pay to repurchase the
         securities, and that the securities may not be returned to the Fund.

Credit Quality of the Tax-Free Funds.  The Tax-Free Funds will invest in
long-term instruments only if they are rated "A" or better by Moody's or S&P or,
if unrated, are of comparable quality. These Funds will invest in short-term
instruments only if they (i) have short-term debt ratings in the top two
categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, (ii) are issued by an issuer with such ratings or (iii) if
unrated, are of comparable quality.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts.  A forward currency exchange contract is an
obligation to exchange one currency for another on a future date at a specified
exchange rate.

         Investment Strategy.  Forward currency exchange contracts may be used
         for hedging purposes and to help reduce the risks and volatility caused
         by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency
         exchange contracts will be used at the discretion of the advisor or
         sub-advisor, and no Fund is required to hedge its foreign currency
         positions.

         Special Risks.  Forward currency contracts are privately negotiated
         transactions, and can have substantial price volatility. When used for
         hedging purposes, they tend to limit any potential gain that may be
         realized if the value of a Fund's foreign holdings increases because of
         currency fluctuations.

Futures Contracts and Related Options.  A futures contract is a type of
derivative instrument that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset in the
future at an agreed upon price. When a Fund purchases an option on a futures
contract, it has the right to assume a position as a purchaser or seller of a
futures contract at a specified exercise price during the option period. When a
Fund sells an option on a futures contract, it becomes obligated to purchase or
sell a futures contract if the option is exercised.

         Investment Strategy.  The Equity Funds, the Income Funds and the Tax-
         Free Funds may invest in futures contracts and options on futures
         contracts on domestic or foreign exchanges or boards of trade. These
         instruments may be used for hedging purposes, to maintain liquidity to
         meet potential shareholder redemptions, to invest cash balances or
         dividends, or to minimize trading costs.

         A Fund will not purchase or sell a futures contract unless, after the
         transaction, the sum of the aggregate amount of margin deposits on its
         existing futures positions and the amount of premiums paid for related
         options used for non-hedging purposes is 5% or less of the Fund's total
         assets.

         Special Risks.  Futures contracts and related options present the
         following risks: imperfect correlation between the change in market
         value of a Fund's securities and the price of futures contracts and
         options; the possible inability to close a futures contract when
         desired; losses due to unanticipated market movements, which are
         potentially unlimited; and the possible inability of the advisor or
         sub-advisor to correctly predict the direction of securities prices,
         interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors.

Guaranteed Investment Contracts.  Guaranteed investment contracts are agreements
by a Fund to make payments to an insurance company's general account in exchange
for a minimum level of interest based on an index.

         Investment Strategy.  The Income Funds, Cash Investment Fund and Money
         Market Fund may invest in guaranteed investment contracts.

         Special Risks.  Guaranteed investment contracts are considered illiquid
         investments and are acquired subject to a Fund's limitation on illiquid
         investments.

Illiquid Securities.  Illiquid securities include private placements or other
securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or
for which there is no readily available market.

         Investment Strategy.  Each Fund may invest up to 15% (10% in the case
         of a Money Market Fund) of its net assets in securities that are
         illiquid.

                                       42
<PAGE>

         Special Risks.  To the extent that a Fund invests in illiquid
         securities, the Fund risks not being able to sell the securities at the
         time and the price that it would like. The Fund may have to lower the
         price, sell substitute securities or forego an investment opportunity,
         each of which may cause a loss to the Fund.

Investment Companies.  To the extent consistent with their respective investment
objectives and policies, the Funds (other than U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund)
may invest in securities issued by other investment companies.

         Investment Strategy.  Investments by a Fund in other investment
         companies will be subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act.

         Special Risks.  As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund
         would be subject to the same risks as any other investor in that
         company. In addition, it would bear a proportionate share of any fees
         and expenses paid by that company. These would be in addition to the
         advisory and other fees paid directly by the Fund.

Municipal Obligations.  Municipal obligations may include: (i) general
obligation bonds issued for various public purposes and supported by the
municipal issuer's credit and taxing power; and (ii) revenue bonds whose
principal and interest is payable only from the revenues of a particular project
or facility.

         Investment Strategy.  The Tax-Free Funds and Tax-Free Money Market Fund
         will normally invest at least 80% of their net assets in municipal
         obligations.

         Special Risks.  Industrial revenue bonds depend on the credit standing
         of a private issuer and may be subject to the federal alternative
         minimum tax (AMT). Although Tax-Free Money Market Fund may invest more
         than 25% of its net assets in municipal revenue obligations, it does
         not intend to do so on a regular basis. If it does, it will be riskier
         than a fund which does not concentrate to such an extent on similar
         projects.

Options.  An option is a type of derivative instrument that gives the holder the
right (but not the obligation) to buy (a "call") or sell (a "put") an asset in
the future at an agreed upon price prior to the expiration date of the option.

         Investment Strategy.  The Equity Funds, the Income Funds, Tax-Free Bond
         Fund and Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund may write (sell) covered call
         options, buy put options, buy call options and write secured put
         options for hedging purposes. Options may relate to particular
         securities, foreign or domestic securities indices, financial
         instruments or foreign currencies.

         Special Risks.  The value of options can be highly volatile, and their
         use can result in loss if the advisor or sub-advisor is incorrect in
         its expectation of price fluctuations. The successful use of options
         for hedging purposes also depends in part on the ability of the advisor
         or sub-advisor to predict future price fluctuations and the degree of
         correlation between the options and securities markets.

Repurchase Agreements.  Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities
by a Fund subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at a mutually
agreed upon date and price.

         Investment Strategy.  Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements
         with banks and broker-dealers that are deemed to be creditworthy by the
         advisor or sub-advisor.

         Special Risks.  If the seller defaults or declares bankruptcy, a Fund
         may suffer if the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities
         and other collateral are less than the repurchase price or if there are
         delays in selling the underlying securities or collateral.

Securities Lending.  In order to generate additional income, each Fund may lend
securities on a short-term basis to qualified institutions. By reinvesting any
cash collateral it receives in these transactions, the Fund could realize
additional income gains or losses.

         Investment Strategy.  Securities lending may represent no more than 25%
         of the value of a Fund's total assets (including the loan collateral).

         Special Risks.  The main risk when lending Fund securities is that if
         the borrower fails

                                       43
<PAGE>

         to return the securities or the invested collateral has declined in
         value, the Fund could lose money.

Stripped Securities.  These securities are issued by the U.S. Government (or
agency or instrumentality), foreign governments or banks and other financial
institutions. They entitle the holder to receive either interest payments or
principal payments that have been "stripped" from a debt obligation. These
obligations include participations in trusts that hold U.S. Treasury or agency
securities.


         Special Risks.  Stripped securities are very sensitive to changes in
         interest rates and to the rate of principal repayments. A rapid or
         unexpected increase in mortgage prepayments could severely depress the
         price of certain stripped mortgage-backed securities and adversely
         affect a Fund's total returns.

Temporary Investments.  Short-term obligations refer to U.S. Government
securities, high-quality money market instruments and repurchase agreements with
maturities of 13 months or less. Generally, these obligations are purchased to
provide stability and liquidity to a Fund.

         Investment Strategy.  Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in
         short-term obligations pending investment or to meet anticipated
         redemption requests. The Tax-Free Funds and Tax-Free Money Market Fund
         may hold uninvested cash if, in the advisor's opinion, suitable tax-
         exempt securities are not available. Each Tax-Free Fund may also invest
         a portion of its assets in short-term money market instruments, the
         income from which is subject to Federal income tax.

         Special Risks.  A Fund may not achieve its investment objective when
         its asset are invested in short-term obligations.

Variable and Floating Rate Instruments.  Variable and floating rate instruments
have interest rates that are periodically adjusted either at set intervals or
that float at a margin above a generally recognized index rate. These
instruments include variable amount master demand notes.

         Special Risks.  Variable and floating rate instruments are subject to
         the same risks as fixed income investments, particularly interest rate
         risk and credit risk. Because there is no active secondary market for
         certain variable and floating rate instruments, they may be more
         difficult to sell if the issuer defaults on its payment obligations or
         during periods when a Fund is not entitled to exercise its demand
         rights. As a result, the Fund could suffer a loss with respect to these
         instruments.

When - Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Transactions and Forward Commitments.
A purchase of "when-issued" securities refers to a transaction made
conditionally because the securities, although authorized, have not yet been
issued. A delayed delivery or forward commitment transaction involves a contract
to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond the
customary settlement period.

         Special Risks.  Purchasing or selling securities on a when-issued,
         delayed delivery or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the
         value of the securities may change by the time they are actually issued
         or delivered. These transactions also involve the risk that the seller
         may fail to deliver the security or cash on the settlement date.

Zero Coupon Bonds.  These are securities issued at a discount from their face
value because interest payments are typically postponed until maturity.

         Special Risks.  The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are
         more volatile than the market prices of interest-bearing securities and
         are likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates
         than interest-bearing securities having similar maturities and credit
         quality. A Fund's investments in zero coupon bonds may require the Fund
         to sell some of its portfolio securities to generate sufficient cash to
         satisfy certain income distribution requirements.

Purchasing Shares

Who May Purchase Shares

Customers (and their immediate family members) of banks and other institutions
that have entered into agreements with us to provide shareholder services for
customers may purchase Class K Shares. Customers may include individuals,
trusts, partnerships and corporations. Each Fund also issues other classes of
shares, which have different sales charges, expense levels and performance. Call
(800) 438-5789 to obtain more information concerning the Funds' other classes of
shares.

Purchase Price of Shares

Class K shares of the Funds are sold at the NAV next determined after a purchase
order is received in proper form.

Method for Purchasing Shares
You may purchase shares through selected banks or other institutions.

Policies for Purchasing Shares

 .    All share purchases are effected through a customer's account at an
     institution and confirmations of share purchases will be sent to the
     institution involved.

 .    Institutions (or their nominees) will normally be the holders of record of
     Fund shares acting on behalf of their customers, and will reflect their
     customers' beneficial ownership of shares in the account statements
     provided by them to their customers.

 .    Purchase orders must be received by the Fund's distributor or the transfer
     agent before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange
     (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).

Redeeming Shares

Redemption Price
We will redeem shares at the NAV next determined after we receive the redemption
request in proper form.

Methods for Redeeming Shares

 .    You may redeem shares of all Funds through your bank or other financial
     institution.

 .    You may redeem a portion of your shares of the Income Funds (other than the
     International Bond Fund), Tax-Free Funds and Money Market Funds through the
     free checkwriting privilege.

Policies for Redeeming Shares

 .    Shares held by an institution on behalf of its customers must be redeemed
     in accordance with instructions and limitations pertaining to the account
     at that institution.

 .    If we receive a redemption order for a Fund (other than a Money Market
     Fund) before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), we will normally wire payment to the
     redeeming institution on the next business day. If we receive a redemption
     order for a Money Market Fund before 12:00 noon (Eastern time), we will
     normally wire payment to the redeeming institution on the same business
     day. If an order for a Money Market Fund is received between 12:00 noon and
     4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), payment is normally wired the next business day.

Additional Policies For Purchases And Redemptions

     .    We consider requests to be in "proper form" when all required
          documents are properly completed, signed and received.

     .    If your purchase order payment for a Money Market Fund is received in
          proper form before 2:45 p.m. (Eastern time), you will receive
          dividends for that day. If your redemption order is received in proper
          form before 2:45 p.m. (Eastern time), you will not receive dividends
          for that day.

                                       46
<PAGE>

     .    The Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase order.

     .    At any time, the Funds may change any of their purchase or redemption
          procedures, and may suspend the sale of their shares.

     .    The Funds may delay sending redemption proceeds for up to seven days,
          or longer if permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     .    To limit the Funds' expenses, we do not currently issue share
          certificates.

     .    If you are redeeming recently purchased shares, your redemption
          request may not be honored until your check or [electronic
          transaction] has cleared. This may delay your transaction for up to 15
          days.

     .    A Fund may temporarily stop redeeming shares if:

          .    the New York Stock Exchange is closed;
          .    trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
          .    an emergency exists and the Fund cannot sell its assets or
               accurately determine the value of its assets;
          .    the Securities and Exchange Commission orders the Fund to suspend
               redemptions.

     .    If accepted by a Fund, investors may purchase shares of the Fund
          (other than the Real Estate Equity Investment Fund) with securities
          that the Fund may hold. The advisor will determine if the securities
          are consistent with the Fund's objectives and policies. If accepted,
          the securities will be valued the same way the Fund values portfolio
          securities it already owns. Call the Funds at (800) 438-5789 for more
          information.

     .    The Funds reserve the right to make payment for redeemed shares wholly
          or in part by giving the redeeming shareholder portfolio securities.
          The shareholder may pay transaction costs to dispose of these
          securities.

     .    We record all telephone calls for your protection and take measures to
          identify the caller. As long as the Funds' transfer agent takes
          reasonable measures to authenticate telephone requests on an
          investor's account, neither the Funds, the Funds' distributor nor the
          transfer agent will be held responsible for any losses resulting from
          unauthorized transactions.

     .    Financial institutions are responsible for transmitting orders and
          payments for their customers on a timely basis.

Shareholder Privileges

Free Checkwriting. Free checkwriting is available to holders of Class K shares
of the Income Funds (other than the International Bond Fund), Tax-Free Funds and
Money Market Funds who complete the signature card section of the account
application form. You may write checks in the amount of $500 or more but you may
not close a Fund account by writing a check. We may change or terminate this
program on 30 days' notice to you.

Service Agents

Class K shares of the Funds are sold through institutions that have entered into
shareholder servicing agreements with the Funds. These agreements are permitted
under the Funds' Shareholder Servicing Plan. Under the agreements, the
institutions provide shareholder services to their customers who are record or
beneficial owners of Class K shares. In return for providing these services, the
institutions are entitled to receive a fee from each Fund at an annual rate of
up to 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Class K shares owned by
their customers. Class K shares bear all fees paid to institutions under the
Shareholder Servicing Plan. Payments are not tied exclusively to the shareholder
expenses actually incurred by the institutions and may exceed service expenses
actually incurred.

Please note that Comerica Bank, an affiliate of the advisor, receives a fee from
the Funds for providing shareholder services to its customers who own shares of
the Funds.

In addition, the advisor may, from time to time, make payments to banks, broker-
dealers or other financial institutions for certain services to the Funds and/or
their shareholders, including sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and
shareholder servicing. The advisor may make such payments out of its own

                                       47

resources and there are no additional costs to the Funds or their shareholders.

                                       48

Pricing Of Fund Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund's NAV is calculated on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.

The Funds (other than the Money Market Funds) calculate NAV as of the close of
business on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). [The
Money Market Funds calculate NAV as of 2:45 p.m. (Eastern time) and as of the
close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern
time).]

If the New York Stock Exchange closes early, the Funds will accelerate their
calculation of NAV and transaction deadlines to that time.

The NAV of each Fund (other than the Money Market Funds) is generally based on
the market value of the securities held in the Fund. If market values are not
available, the fair value of securities is determined in good faith by, or using
procedures approved by, the Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Funds.

In determining each Money Market Fund's NAV, securities are valued at amortized
cost, which is approximately equal to market value.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times that vary from the
closing of the New York Stock Exchange. A Fund values foreign securities at the
latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior
to the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Certain foreign currency exchange
rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the New
York Stock Exchange. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Occasionally, events that affect
these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are
determined and the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. If the advisor
believes that such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities,
these securities may be valued at their fair market value as determined in good
faith by, or using procedures approved by, the Funds' Boards of
Directors/Trustees.

Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days
when a Fund does not price its shares. Therefore, the value of a Fund's
portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to buy or sell
their shares.

Distributions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a shareholder you are entitled to your share of a Fund's net income and gains
on its investments. The Funds pass substantially all of its earnings along to
its shareholders as distributions. When the Funds earns dividends from stocks
and interest from debt securities and distributes these earnings to
shareholders, it is called a dividend distribution. A Fund realizes capital
gains when it sells securities for a higher price than it paid. When these gains
are distributed to shareholders, it is called a capital gain distribution.

Balanced Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Small Company Growth Fund, Index 500 Fund
and International Bond Fund: pay dividends, if any, quarterly.

Equity Selection Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, Framlington Emerging Markets
Fund, Framlington Global Financial Services Fund, Framlington Healthcare Fund,
Framlington International Growth Fund, International Equity Fund, Micro-Cap
Equity Fund, Multi-Season Growth Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund and Value Fund: pay
dividends, if any, at least annually.

Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, Michigan Tax-
Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund and
Real Estate Equity Investment Fund: pay dividends, if any, monthly.

Cash Investment Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market
Fund: dividends are declared daily and paid monthly.

All Funds:  distribute their net realized capital gains, if any, at least
annually.

It is possible that a Fund may make a distribution in excess of the Fund's
earnings and profits. You will treat such a distribution as a return of capital
which is applied against and reduces your basis in your shares. You will treat
the excess of any such distribution over your basis in your shares as gain from
a sale or exchange of the shares.


Each Fund will pay distributions in additional shares of that Fund. If you wish
to receive distributions in cash, either indicate this request on your account
application form or notify the Funds by calling (800) 438-5789.

                                       50

Federal Tax Considerations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investments in a Fund may have tax consequences that you should consider. This
section briefly describes some of the more common federal tax consequences. A
more detailed discussion about the tax treatment of distributions from the Funds
and about other potential tax liabilities, including backup withholding for
certain taxpayers and about tax aspects of dispositions of shares of the Funds,
is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. You should consult your
tax adviser about your own particular tax situation.

Taxes On Distributions

You will generally have to pay federal income tax on all Fund distributions.
Distributions will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive the
distributions in cash or in additional shares of the Fund. The Tax-Free Funds
and Tax-Free Money Market Fund expect that a portion of their dividend
distributions will be exempt from federal income tax. Shareholders not subject
to tax on their income, generally will not be required to pay any tax on
distributions.

Distributions that are derived from net long-term capital gains generally will
be taxed as long-term capital gains. Dividend distributions and short-term
capital gains generally will be taxed as ordinary income. The tax you pay on a
given capital gains distribution generally depends on how long the Fund held the
portfolio securities it sold. It does not depend on how long you held your Fund
shares.

Distributions are generally taxable to you in the tax year in which they are
paid, with one exception: distributions declared in October, November or
December, but not paid until January of the following year, are taxed as though
they were paid on December 31 in the year in which they were declared.

Shareholders generally are required to report all Fund distributions on their
federal income tax returns. Each year the Funds will send you information
detailing the amount of ordinary income and capital gains paid to you for the
previous year.

Dividends and certain interest income earned from foreign securities by a Fund
may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes. A Fund may be permitted to
pass on to its shareholders the right to a credit or deduction for income or
other tax credits earned from foreign investments and will do so if possible.
These deductions or credits may be subject to tax law limitations.

Taxes On Sales

If you sell shares of a Fund, you generally will be subject to tax on any
taxable gain. Your taxable gain is computed by subtracting your tax basis in the
shares from the redemption proceeds. Because your tax basis depends on the
original purchase price and on the price at which any dividends may have been
reinvested, you should be sure to keep account statements so that you or your
tax preparer will be able to determine whether a sale will result in a taxable
gain.


Other Considerations

If you buy shares of a Fund just before the Fund makes any distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and then receive back a portion of the
money you have just invested in the form of a taxable distribution.

If you have not provided complete, correct taxpayer information by law, the
Funds must withhold a portion of your distributions and redemption proceeds to
pay federal income taxes.

Performance Information. The tables below contain performance information for
certain Funds created through the conversion of a common or collective trust
fund which had investment objectives and policies materially similar to those of
the corresponding Funds.
Immediately before and after the conversion, the same person managed both the
common or collective trust fund and the corresponding Fund.

The table for each Fund:

     .    includes the average annual total returns of the common or collective
          trust fund and the average annual total returns of the corresponding
          Fund linked together;
     .    assumes that net investment income and dividends have been reinvested;
     .    assumes that the common or collective trust fund paid the same levels
          of fees and expenses as the corresponding Fund currently pays;
     .    does not reflect any potential negative impact on the common and
          collective trust funds' performance if they had been subjected to the
          same regulatory restrictions (the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue
          Code) as the corresponding Fund; and
     .    indicates past performance only and does not predict future results.

Financial Highlights
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The financial highlights table is intended to help shareholders understand each
Fund's financial performance for the past 5 years (or, if shorter, the period of
the Fund's operations). Certain information reflects financial results for a
single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an
investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Because the Class K shares of
Equity Selection Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund and Framlington Global
Financial Services Fund had not yet commenced operations on June 30, 1999,
financial highlights are not presented for those Funds. The information has been
audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent accountants, whose report, along with
each Fund's financial statements, are included in the annual reports of the
Funds, and are incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional
Information. You may obtain the annual reports without charge by calling (800)
438-5789.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Risk/Return Summary briefly describes the goals and principal investment
strategies of the Funds and the principal risks of investing in the Funds.  For
further information on these and the Funds' other investment strategies and
risks, please read the section entitled More About The Funds.

The Risk/Return Summary includes a table for each Fund showing its average
annual returns and a bar chart showing its annual returns.  The table and bar
chart provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in each Fund
by showing:

 .  how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years (or over the
   life of the Fund if the Fund is less than 10 years old) compare to those of a
   broad based securities market index; and;

 .  changes in the Fund's performance from year to year over 10 years (or over
   the life of the Fund if the Fund is less than 10 years old).

When you consider this information, please remember that a Fund's performance in
past years is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

An investment in the Funds is not a bank deposit and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency.

Certain terms used in this prospectus are defined in the Glossary.

Equity Funds

Balanced Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide an attractive investment return through a
combination of growth of capital and current income.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by allocating its assets among three asset groups:
equity securities, fixed income securities and cash equivalents.

The Fund normally will invest at least 25% of its assets in fixed income
securities and no more than 75% of its assets in equity securities.  The Fund
will notify shareholders at least 30 days before changing this policy.

The advisor will allocate the Fund's assets to the three asset groups based on
its view of the following factors, among others:
 .  general market and economic conditions and trends;
 .  interest rates and inflation rates;
 .  fiscal and monetary developments; and
 .  long-term corporate earnings growth.

The advisor will try to take advantage of changing economic conditions by
adjusting the ratio of equity securities to fixed income securities or cash
equivalents.  For example, if the advisor believes that rapid economic growth
will lead to better corporate earnings in the future, then it might increase the
Fund's equity securities holdings and reduce its fixed income securities and
cash equivalents holdings.

The Fund's fixed income securities include:
 .  U.S. Government securities;
 .  obligations of foreign governments;
 .  corporate obligations;
 .  zero coupon bonds;
 .  variable and floating rate securities;
 .  mortgage and other asset-backed securities; and
 .  stripped securities.

The Fund's cash equivalents are short-term, high-quality money market
instruments and include:
 .  commercial paper;
 .  bankers' acceptances and certificates of deposit;
 .  corporate obligations; and
 .  U.S. Government securities.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities and enter into futures and
options on futures contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, interest
rate risk and credit risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.  To the extent that
the Fund enters into futures and options on futures contracts, it may be subject
to derivatives risk.

Equity Selection Fund

Goal


The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity
securities.

The Fund invests in equity securities which the advisor believes are undervalued
compared to stocks of other companies in the same industry.

The Fund generally invests in companies with market capitalizations of at least
$1 billion.

The Fund diversifies its assets by industry in approximately the same weightings
as those of the S&P 500.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and medium-
size company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Performance

As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund had not commenced operations and,
therefore, does not have annual returns for a full calendar year.  For this
reason, a bar chart and performance table showing performance information and
information on the Fund's best and worst calendar quarters is not provided in
this prospectus.

Growth & Income Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide capital appreciation and current income.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing primarily in dividend-paying equity
securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its
assets in income-producing common stocks and convertible preferred stocks.

The Fund may also purchase fixed income securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock.

The advisor generally selects large, well-known companies that it believes have
favorable prospects for dividend growth and capital appreciation.  The Fund will
seek to produce a current yield greater than the S&P 500.

The Fund focuses on dividend-paying equity securities because, over time,
dividend income has accounted for a significant portion of the total return of
the S&P 500.  In addition, dividends are usually a more stable and predictable
source of return than capital appreciation.  The advisor believes that stocks
which distribute a high level of current income generally have more stable
prices than those which pay below average dividends.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, interest
rate risk and credit risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Growth Opportunities Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in the equity
securities of companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $10
billion.

Its style, which focuses on both growth prospects and valuation, is known as
GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) and seeks to produce attractive returns
during various market environments.

The advisor chooses the Fund's investments by reviewing the earnings growth of
approximately 10,000 companies over the past three years and investing in
approximately 50 to 100 companies based on:

 .  superior earnings growth;
 .  financial stability;
 .  relative market value; and
 .  price changes compared to the S&Ps MidCap 400 Index.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and medium-
size company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Performance

As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has not completed a full calendar
year of operations.  For this reason, a bar chart and performance table showing
performance information and information on the Fund's best and worst calendar
quarters is not provided in this prospectus.

International Equity Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing primarily in foreign securities including
American Depositary Receipts.

Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the Fund's assets are invested
in equity securities in at least three foreign countries.  The Fund mostly
invests in mature markets, but may also invest in emerging markets.

The Fund emphasizes companies with a market capitalization of at least $250
million.

At least once a quarter, the advisor creates a list of foreign securities and
American Depositary Receipts which the Fund may purchase based on the country
where the company is located, its competitive advantages, its past financial
record, its future prospects for growth and the market for its securities.  The
advisor updates the securities list frequently (at least quarterly), adds new
securities to the list if they are eligible and sells securities not on the
updated securities list as soon as practicable.

After the advisor creates the securities list, it divides the list into two
sections. The first section is designed to provide broad coverage of
international markets.  The second section increases exposure to securities that
the advisor expects will perform better than other stocks in their industry
sectors and their markets as a whole.  When the advisor believes broader market
exposure will benefit the Fund, it will allocate up to 100% of the Fund's assets
in first section securities.  When the advisor identifies strong potential for
specific securities to perform well, the Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets
in second section securities.

The Fund may also enter into futures and options on futures contracts and
forward currency exchange contracts, and purchase and sell options.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, foreign
securities risk and currency risk.  To the extent that the Fund enters into
futures and options on futures contracts, enters into forward currency exchange
contracts, and purchases and sells options, it may be subject to derivatives
risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Micro-Cap Equity Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing at least 65% of its assets in equity
securities of small capitalization companies.  Small capitalization companies
means companies having market capitalizations within the range of the companies
in the Wilshire Micro-Cap Index.  As of the date of this prospectus, such
capitalizations do not exceed approximately $300 million, which is considerably
less than the market capitalization of S&P 500 companies.

The Fund attempts to provide investors with potentially higher returns than a
fund that invests primarily in larger, more established companies.  Since
smaller capitalization companies are generally not as well known to investors
and have less of an investor following than larger companies, they may provide
higher returns due to inefficiencies in the marketplace.

The advisor will choose companies that:
 .  present the ability to grow significantly over the next several years;
 .  may benefit from changes in technology, regulations and industry sector
   trends; and
 .  are still in the developmental stage and may have limited product lines.

There is no limit on the length of operating history for the companies in which
the Fund may invest.  The Fund may also invest in equity securities of larger
capitalization companies.  The Fund may invest without limit in initial public
offerings of small capitalization companies.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and small
company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign securities,
it may be subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Real Estate Equity Investment Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide both capital appreciation and current income.
This goal is "fundamental" and cannot be changed without shareholder approval.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least
65% of its total assets in equity securities of U.S. companies which are
principally engaged in the real estate industry or which own significant real
estate.

A company is "principally engaged" in the real estate industry if at least 50%
of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership,
construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real
estate.  The Fund will not own real estate directly.

The companies in which the Fund primarily invests include:
 .  equity real estate investment trusts ("REITS");
 .  brokers, home builders and real estate developers;
 .  companies with substantial real estate holdings (for example, paper and
   lumber producers, hotels and entertainment companies);
 .  manufacturers and distributors of building supplies;
 .  mortgage REITS; and
 .  financial institutions which issue or service mortgages.

In addition, the Fund may invest:
 .  up to 35% of its assets in companies other than real estate industry
   companies;
 .  in fixed income securities including up to 5% of its assets in debt
   securities rated below investment grade or unrated if secured by real estate
   assets and if the advisor believes that the underlying collateral is
   sufficient; and
 .  in REITS only if they are traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and sector
risk.

Small-Cap Value Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation, with income as a
secondary objective.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least
65% of its assets in equity securities of small capitalization companies.  Small
capitalization companies means companies with market capitalizations within the
range of the companies in the Russell 2000 Index.  As of the date of this
prospectus, such capitalizations do not exceed approximately $1.5 billion, which
is less than the market capitalization of S&P 500 companies.

The Fund attempts to provide investors with potentially higher returns than a
fund that invests primarily in larger, more established companies.  Since small
companies are generally not as well known to investors and have less of an
investor following than larger companies, they may provide higher returns due to
inefficiencies in the marketplace.

The advisor will concentrate on companies that it believes are undervalued.  A
company's equity securities may be undervalued because the company is
temporarily overlooked or out of favor due to general economic conditions, a
market decline, industry conditions or developments affecting the particular
company.  The Fund will usually invest in equity securities of companies with
price/earnings ratios, price/cash flow ratios and price/book values that are low
relative to the general market.

In addition to valuation, the advisor considers these factors, among others, in
choosing companies:

 .    a stable or improving earnings record;

 .    sound finances;

 .    above-average growth prospects;

 .    participation in a fast growing industry;

 .    strategic niche position in a specialized market; and

 .    adequate capitalization.

The Fund may invest in equity securities of larger capitalization companies.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities and enter into futures and
options on futures contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and small
company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign securities,
it may be subject to foreign securities risk.  To the extent that the Fund
enters into futures and options on futures contracts, it may be subject to
derivatives risk.

Value Fund

Goal

The Fund's primary goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation.  Its
secondary goal is to provide income.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goals by investing primarily in the equity securities of
well-established companies with intermediate to large capitalizations, which
typically exceed $750 million.

The Fund will invest at least 65% of its assets in equity securities.

The advisor will focus on companies that it believes are undervalued.  A
company's equity securities may be undervalued because the company is
temporarily overlooked or out of favor due to general economic conditions, a
market decline, industry conditions or developments affecting the particular
company.  The Fund will usually invest in equity securities of companies with
price/earnings ratios, price/cash flow ratios and price/book values that are low
relative to the general market.

In addition to valuation, the advisor considers these factors, among others, in
choosing companies:

 .    a stable or improving earnings record;

 .    sound finances;

 .    above-average growth prospects;

 .    participation in a fast growing industry;

 .    strategic niche position in a specialized market; and

 .    adequate capitalization.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities and enter into futures and
options on futures contracts.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk and medium-
size company stock risk.  To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign
securities, it may be subject to foreign securities risk.  To the extent that
the Fund enters into futures and options on futures contracts, it may be subject
to derivatives risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

     regions; and

 .    its assessment of the prospects for a particular equity market and its
     currency.

the extent that the Fund enters into forward currency exchange contracts, it may
be subject to derivatives risk.

Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund

Goal

The Fund's goals are to provide a competitive level of current interest income
exempt from regular Federal income taxes and a total return which, over time,
exceeds the rate of inflation and the return provided by tax-free money market
instruments.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goals by investing, under normal market conditions, at
least 65% of its net assets in municipal obligations.

Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets will be
invested in municipal obligations whose interest is exempt from regular Federal
income tax.

The Fund generally buys obligations with remaining maturities of five years or
less.  The Fund's dollar-weighted average maturity will generally range between
two and five years.

The Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in municipal obligations issued
by the State of Michigan and its political subdivisions.

The Fund is "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act and may invest more of its
assets in fewer issuers than a "diversified" investment company.

The Fund may also invest in other fixed income securities.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are market risk, interest
rate risk, credit risk and non-diversified risk.

Summary of Principal Risks of The Funds

The share price of the Funds will change daily based on market conditions and
other factors.  Therefore, you may lose money if you invest in the Funds.

The following summary briefly describes the principal risks that may affect a
Fund's portfolio as a whole.  More information about the Funds' principal
investment strategies and their associated risks is contained in the section
entitled "More About the Funds."

SECTOR RISK is the risk of loss due to concentrating investments in a particular
industry sector.  Adverse economic, business or political developments affecting
that industry sector could have a major effect on the value of the Fund's
investments.  Real Estate Equity Investment Fund, Global Financial Services
Fund, Healthcare Fund and NetNet Fund are particularly subject to this Risk.

CREDIT (OR DEFAULT) RISK is the risk of loss because an issuer of a security may
default on its payment obligations. Also, an issuer may suffer adverse changes
in its financial condition that could lower the credit quality of a security,
leading to greater volatility in the price of the security and in shares of the
Fund.  A change in the quality rating of a bond can affect the bond's liquidity
and make it more difficult for the Fund to sell.  Funds particularly subject to
this risk are:  Balanced Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate
Bond Fund, International Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, Michigan Tax-
Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, Cash
Investment Fund, Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund.

DERIVATIVES RISK is the risk that loss may result from a Fund's use of futures
and options on futures contracts, options, forward currency exchange contracts
and other forms of derivative instruments.  The primary risk with many
derivatives is that they can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or
losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative
instrument.  Funds particularly subject to this risk are:  Balanced Fund,
International Equity Fund, Value Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund, NetNet Fund, Global
Financial Services Fund, International Growth Fund and International Bond Fund.

FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK is the risk of loss because investments by a Fund in
foreign securities may experience greater and more rapid change in value than
investments in U.S. securities.  Foreign securities are generally more volatile
and less liquid than U.S. securities, in part because of greater political and
economic risks and because there is less public information available about
foreign companies.  Issuers of foreign securities are generally not subject to
the same degree of regulation as are U.S. issuers.  The reporting, accounting
and auditing standards of foreign countries may differ, in some cases
significantly, from U.S. standards.  Funds particularly subject to this risk
are:  Balanced Fund, Equity Selection Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Growth
Opportunities Fund, International Equity Fund, Micro-Cap Equity Fund, NetNet
Fund, Value Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund, Small Company Growth Fund, Multi-Season
Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, Global Financial Services Fund, Healthcare
Fund, International Growth Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund,
International Bond Fund, Cash Investment Fund and Money Market Fund.

     Currency Risk.  Funds that invest in foreign securities denominated in
     foreign currencies may also be subject to currency risk. This is the risk
     of loss because a decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to
     the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of a Fund's portfolio securities
     denominated in those currencies.  Funds particularly subject to this risk
     are:  International Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, Global Financial
     Services Fund, Healthcare Fund, International Growth Fund and International
     Bond Fund.

     Emerging Markets Risk.  Funds that invest in foreign securities of issuers
     in emerging market countries are subject to emerging markets risk.
     Investing in emerging market countries heightens the risks presented by
     investing in foreign securities and currencies and may result in loss to
     the Fund.  Numerous emerging countries have recently experienced serious,
     and potentially continuing, economic and political problems.  Stock markets
     in many emerging countries are relatively small and risky.  Foreigners are
     often limited in their ability to invest in, and withdraw assets from,
     these markets.  Additional restrictions may be

                                       32
<PAGE>

     imposed under emergency conditions. Funds particularly subject to this risk
     are: International Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Fund and International
     Growth Fund.

INTEREST RATE RISK is the risk of loss because increases in prevailing interest
rates will cause fixed-income securities held by a Fund to decline in value.
Longer term bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than
shorter term bonds.  Generally, the longer the average maturity of the bonds
held by the Fund, the more the Fund's share price will fluctuate in response to
interest rate changes.  Funds particularly subject to this risk are:  Balanced
Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, International
Bond Fund, Short-Term Treasury Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, Michigan Tax-
Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, Cash Investment Fund,
Money Market Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market
Fund.

MARKET RISK is the risk of loss because the value of the securities in which a
Fund invests decline in response to general economic conditions. Price changes
may be temporary or last for extended periods. For example, stock prices have
historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. In addition, the value of a
Fund's investments may decline if the particular Companies the Fund invests in
do not perform well. All of the Munder Equity Funds are subject to this risk.

MEDIUM-SIZE COMPANY STOCK RISK is the risk of loss because the stocks of medium-
size companies may be more susceptible to market downturns, and their prices may
be more volatile than the stocks of larger companies.  Equity Selection Fund,
Growth Opportunities Fund, NetNet Fund, Value Fund, Emerging Markets Fund,
Global Financial Services Fund, International Growth Fund and Healthcare Fund
are particularly subject to this risk.

NON-DIVERSIFIED RISK is the risk of loss because a Fund that invests more of its
assets in fewer issuers than many other funds do, may be more susceptible to
adverse developments affecting any single issuer, and more susceptible to
greater losses because of these developments.  For example, the Michigan Tax-
Free Bond Fund invests primarily in Michigan municipal obligations, if Michigan
issuers suffer serious financial difficulties, jeopardizing their ability to pay
their obligations, the Fund may suffer a loss.  International Bond Fund,
Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund and Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund are
subject to this risk.

PREPAYMENT RISK is the risk that a Fund may experience losses when an issuer
exercises its right to pay principal on an obligation held by the Fund (such as
a mortgage-backed security) earlier than expected.  This may happen during a
period of declining interest rates.  Under these circumstances, the Fund may be
unable to recoup all of its initial investment and will suffer from having to
reinvest in lower yielding securities.  The loss of higher yielding securities
and the reinvestment at lower interest rates can reduce the Fund's income, total
return and share price.  Funds particularly subject to this risk are:  Balanced
Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, Cash
Investment Fund and Money Market Fund.

SMALL COMPANY STOCK RISK is the risk of loss because the stocks of small
companies may have more risks than those of larger companies.  Small companies
often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources
than larger, more established companies.  As a result, they may be more
sensitive to changing economic conditions, which could increase the volatility
of a Fund's portfolio.  In addition, small company stocks typically are traded
in lower volume making them more difficult to sell.  Funds particularly subject
to this risk are: Micro-Cap Equity Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small Company
Growth Fund, NetNet Fund and Healthcare Fund.

or NASDAQ National Market System or unlisted. Warrants are rights to purchase
securities at a specified time at a specified price.

Fixed income securities are securities that pay interest at set times at either
fixed, floating or variable rates, or which are issued at a discount to their
principal amount instead of making periodic interest payments. Fixed income
securities include corporate bonds, debentures and other similar corporate debt
instruments, zero coupon bonds and variable amount master demand notes.

Convertible securities are bonds or preferred stocks that may be converted
(exchanged) into the common stock of the issuing company within a specified time
period for a specified number of shares. Convertible securities offer the Funds
a way to participate in the capital appreciation of the common stock into which
the securities are convertible, while earning higher current income than is
available from the common stock.

U.S. Government securities are securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. These securities include U.S.
Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bonds and obligations of the
Federal Home Loan Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association and
Government National Mortgage Association.

Money market instruments are high-quality, short-term instruments including
commercial paper, bankers' acceptances and negotiable certificates of deposit of
banks or savings and loan associations, short-term corporate obligations and
short-term U.S. Government securities.

Municipal obligations are obligations of states, territories and possessions of
the United States and the District of Columbia, and their political
subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. They may be payable
from the issuer's general revenue, the revenue of a specific project, current
revenues or a reserve fund.

Other

1940 Act is the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Internal Revenue Code is the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

NAV is the net asset value per share of a Fund.

A diversified investment company is an investment company that may not invest
more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer other than the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. This limit applies only to 75% of
a diversified Fund's assets. In addition, a diversified Fund cannot invest more
than 25% of its assets in a single issuer. These limitations do not apply to the
non-diversified Funds.

Special Risks And Other Considerations

Derivative Risk. "Derivative" instruments are financial contracts whose value is
based on an underlying security, a currency exchange rate, an interest rate or a
market index. Many types of instruments representing a wide range of potential
risks and rewards are derivatives, including futures contracts, options on
futures contracts, options, swaps, forward currency contracts and structured
debt obligations (including collateralized mortgage obligations and other types
of asset-backed securities, "stripped" securities and various floating rate
instruments).

     Investment Strategy. All Funds (except the Short Term Treasury Fund and the
     U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) may use derivative instruments.
     Derivatives can be used for hedging (attempting to reduce risk by
     offsetting one investment position with another) or speculation (taking a
     position in the hope of increasing return). The Funds may, but are not
     required to, use derivatives for hedging purposes or for the purpose of
     remaining fully invested or maintaining liquidity. The Funds will not use
     derivatives for speculative purposes.

     Special Risks. The use of derivative instruments exposes a Fund to
     additional risks and transaction costs. Risks of derivative instruments
     include: (1) the risk that interest rates, securities prices and currency
     markets will not move in the direction that a portfolio manager
     anticipates; (2) imperfect correlation between the price of derivative
     instruments and movements in the prices of the securities, interest rates
     or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact that skills needed to use these
     strategies are different than those needed to select portfolio securities;
     (4) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular
     instrument and possible exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either
     of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when
     desired; (5) the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can
     result in a loss substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment
     in that instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); (6)
     particularly in the case of privately-

                                       41
<PAGE>

     negotiated instruments, the risk that the counterparty will not perform its
     obligations, which could leave the Fund worse off than if it had not
     entered into the position; and (7) the inability to close out certain
     hedged positions to avoid adverse tax consequences.

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign securities include direct investments in non-
U.S. dollar-denominated securities traded outside of the United States and
dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the United States.
Foreign securities also include indirect investments such as American Depository
Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depository Receipts ("EDRs") and Global Depository
Receipts ("GDRs"). ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts representing shares
of foreign-based corporations. ADRs are issued by U.S. banks or trust companies,
and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on
the underlying foreign shares. EDRs and GDRs are receipts issued by non-U.S.
financial institutions that often trade on foreign exchanges. They represent
ownership in an underlying foreign or U.S. security and are generally
denominated in a foreign currency.

     Investment Strategy. International Equity Fund, International Growth Fund,
     Framlington Global Financial Services Fund, Framlington Healthcare Fund
     Framlington International Growth Fund and International Bond Fund will
     invest all or a substantial portion of their total assets in foreign
     securities. The other Equity Funds (except Real Estate Investment Fund),
     the Income Funds (except Short-Term Treasury Fund), Cash Investment Fund
     and Money Market Fund may invest up to 25% of their total assets in foreign
     securities. The Tax - Free Funds may invest up to 10% of their total assets
     in foreign securities.

     Special Risks. Foreign securities involve special risks and costs.
     Investment in the securities of foreign governments involves the risk that
     foreign governments may default on their obligations or may otherwise not
     respect the integrity of their debt.

     Investment in foreign securities may involve higher costs than investment
     in U.S. securities, including higher transaction and custody costs as well
     as the imposition of additional taxes by foreign governments. Foreign
     investments may also involve risks associated with the level of currency
     exchange rates, less complete financial information about the issuers, less
     market liquidity, more market volatility and political instability. Future
     political and economic developments, the possible imposition of withholding
     taxes on dividend income, the possible seizure or nationalization of
     foreign holdings, the possible establishment of exchange controls or
     freezes on the convertibility of currency, or the adoption of other
     governmental restrictions might adversely affect an investment in foreign
     securities. Additionally, foreign issuers may be subject to less stringent
     regulation, and to different accounting, auditing and recordkeeping
     requirements.

     Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of
     time causing a Fund's net asset value to fluctuate as well. A decline in
     the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the
     value of a foreign currency-denominated security. To the extent that a Fund
     is invested in foreign securities while also maintaining currency
     positions, it may be exposed to greater combined risk. The Funds'
     respective net currency positions may expose them to risks independent of
     their securities positions.

     Additional risks are involved when investing in countries with emerging
     economies or securities markets. In general, the securities markets of
     these countries are less liquid, are subject to greater price volatility,
     have smaller market capitalizations and may have problems with securities
     registration and custody. In addition, because the securities settlement
     procedures are less developed in these countries, a Fund may be required to
     deliver securities before receiving payment and may also be unable to
     complete transactions during market disruptions. As a result of these and
     other risks, investments in these countries generally present a greater
     risk of loss to the Fund.

     A further risk of investing in foreign securities is the risk that a Fund
     may be adversely affected by the conversion of

                                       42
<PAGE>

     certain European currencies into the Euro. This conversion, which is under
     way, is scheduled to be completed in the year 2002. However, problems with
     the conversion process and delays could increase volatility in world
     markets and affect European markets in particular.

Investments in Financial Services Companies by Framlington Global Financial
Services Fund. Financial services companies are subject to extensive
governmental regulation which may limit the financial commitments they can make,
and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Insurance companies may be
subject to severe price competition. Proposed legislation that would reduce the
separation between commercial and investment banking businesses, if enacted,
could significantly impact the industry and the Fund. The Fund may be riskier
than a fund investing in a broader range of industries.

Investments in the Healthcare Industry by Framlington Healthcare Fund. The Fund
will invest most of its assets in the healthcare industry, which is particularly
affected by rapidly changing technology and extensive government regulation,
including cost containment measures. The Fund may be riskier than a fund
investing in a broader range of industries.

Investments in the Real Estate Industry by Real Estate Equity Investment Fund.
The Fund will invest primarily in the real estate industry and may invest more
than 25% of its assets in any one sector of the real estate industry. As a
result, the Fund will be particularly vulnerable to declines in real estate
prices and new construction rates. The Fund may be riskier than a fund investing
in a broader range of industries.

Investments in Internet Related Companies by the NetNet Fund. The Fund will
invest primarily in companies engaged in Internet and Intranet related
activities. The value of such companies is particularly vulnerable to rapidly
changing technology, (extensive government regulation) and relatively high risks
of obsolescence caused by scientific and technological advances. The value of
the Fund's shares may fluctuate more than shares of a fund investing in a
broader range of industries.

Investment Grade Credit Risk. A security is considered investment grade if, at
the time of purchase, it is rated:

 .  BBB or higher by S&P;
 .  Baa or higher by Moody's;
 .  BBB or higher by Duff & Phelps; or
 .  BBB or higher by Fitch.

A security will be considered investment grade if it receives one of the above
ratings, even if it receives a lower rating from other rating organizations.

     Investment Strategy. Except as stated in the next section, fixed income and
     convertible securities purchased by the Funds will generally be rated at
     least investment grade. The Funds may also invest in unrated securities if
     the advisor or sub-advisor believes they are comparable in quality.

     Special Risks. Although securities rated "BBB" by S&P, Duff & Phelps or
     Fitch, or Baa by Moody's are considered investment grade, they have certain
     speculative characteristics. Therefore, they may be subject to a higher
     risk of default than obligations with higher ratings. Subsequent to its
     purchase by a Fund, a rated security may cease to be rated or its rating
     may be reduced below the minimum rating required for purchase by the Fund.
     The advisor or sub-advisor will consider such an event in determining
     whether the Fund should continue to hold the security.

Non-Investment Grade Credit Risk. Non-investment grade fixed income and
convertible securities are generally rated "BB" or below by S&P, Duff & Phelps
or Fitch, or "Ba" by Moody's.

     Investment Strategy. All Equity Funds may invest a portion of their total
     assets in non-investment grade securities when the advisor or sub-advisor
     determines that such securities are desirable in light of the Funds'
     investment objectives and portfolio mix.

     Special Risks. Non-investment grade securities (sometimes referred to as
     "junk bonds") are subject to greater risk than investment grade securities.
     They generally present a higher degree of credits risks (default). In
     addition, the market value of these securities tends to be more sensitive
     to individual corporate developments and to changes in interest rates and
     other economic developments than higher-rated securities

                                       43
<PAGE>

Short-Term Trading. The Funds' historical portfolio turnover rates are shown in
the Financial Highlights.

     Investment Strategy. Some Funds may engage in short-term trading,
     including, in the case of the Equity Funds, initial public offerings.

     Special Risks. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) could
     produce higher trading costs and taxable distributions, which could detract
     from a Fund's performance.

Defensive Investing. Each Fund may invest all or any portion of its assets in
short-term obligations as a temporary defensive measure in response to adverse
market or economic conditions.

     Special Risks. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective when its
     assets are invested in short-term obligations.

Year 2000 Risk. Like other mutual funds, financial institutions, business
organizations and individuals around the world, the Funds could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by the advisor and the Funds' other
service providers do not properly process and calculate date-related information
and data from and after January 1, 2000. The advisor is taking steps that it
believes are reasonably designed to address year 2000 computer-related problems
with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain assurances that
comparable steps are being taken by the Funds' other major service providers.
Although there can be no assurances, the advisor believes that these steps will
be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on any of the Funds. Similarly, there
can be no assurance that year 2000 issues will not affect the companies and
other issuers in which the Funds invest or affect worldwide markets and
economies.

Additional Description of Investments And Investment Strategies

Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are debt securities backed by
mortgages, installment sales contract and credit card receivables. The
securities are sponsored by entities such as government agencies, banks,
financial companies and commercial or industrial companies. In effect, these
securities "pass through" the monthly payments that individual borrowers make on
their mortgage or other assets net of any fees paid to the issuers. Examples of
these include guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized
mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate mortgage investment conduits
("REMICs").

     Investment Strategy. All Income Funds (except Short Term Treasury Fund),
     Balanced Fund, Framlington Global Financial Services Funds, Money Market
     Fund and Cash Investment Fund may invest a portion of its assets in Asset-
     Backed Securities.

     Special Risks. In addition to credit and market risk, asset-backed
     securities involve repayment risk because the underlying assets (loans) may
     be prepaid at any time. The value of these securities may also change
     because of actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness of the
     originator, the servicing agent, the financial institution providing the
     credit support, or the counterparty. Like other fixed income securities,
     when interest rates rise the value of an asset-backed security generally
     will decline. However, when interest rates decline, the value of an asset-
     backed security with prepayment features may not increase as much as that
     of other fixed income securities. In addition, non-mortgage asset-backed
     securities involve certain risks not presented by mortgage-backed
     securities. Primarily, these securities do not have the benefit of the same
     security interest in the underlying collateral.

Borrowing and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Funds can borrow money from
banks and enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and other
financial institutions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of
securities held by a Fund subject to the Fund's agreement to repurchase them at
a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest).

     Investment Strategy. Each Fund may borrow money in an amount up to 5% of
     its assets for temporary emergency purposes and in an amount up to 33 1/3%
     of its assets to meet redemptions. This is a fundamental policy which can
     be changed only by shareholders.

     Special Risks. Borrowings and reverse repurchase agreements by a Fund may

                                       44
<PAGE>

     involve leveraging. If the securities held by the Fund decline in value
     while these transactions are outstanding, the Fund's net asset value will
     decline in value by proportionately more than the decline in value of the
     securities. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements involve the risks
     that the interest income earned by the Fund (from the investment of the
     proceeds) will be less than the interest expense of the transaction, that
     the market value of the securities sold by the Fund will decline below the
     price the Fund is obligated to pay to repurchase the securities, and that
     the securities may not be returned to the Fund.

Credit Quality of the Tax-Free Funds. The Tax-Free Funds will invest in long-
term instruments only if they are rated "A" or better by Moody's or S&P or, if
unrated, are of comparable quality. These Funds will invest in short-term
instruments only if they (i) have short-term debt ratings in the top two
categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, (ii) are issued by an issuer with such ratings or (iii) if
unrated, are of comparable quality.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward currency exchange contract is an
obligation to exchange one currency for another on a future date at a specified
exchange rate.

     Investment Strategy. Forward currency exchange contracts may be used for
     hedging purposes and to help reduce the risks and volatility caused by
     changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange
     contracts will be used at the discretion of the advisor or sub-advisor, and
     no Fund is required to hedge its foreign currency positions.

     Special Risks. Forward currency contracts are privately negotiated
     transactions, and can have substantial price volatility. When used for
     hedging purposes, they tend to limit any potential gain that may be
     realized if the value of a Fund's foreign holdings increases because of
     currency fluctuations.

Futures Contracts and Related Options. A futures contract is a type of
derivative instrument that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset in the
future at an agreed upon price. When a Fund purchases an option on a futures
contract, it has the right to assume a position as a purchaser or seller of a
futures contract at a specified exercise price during the option period. When a
Fund sells an option on a futures contract, it becomes obligated to purchase or
sell a futures contract if the option is exercised.

     Investment Strategy. The Equity Funds the Income Funds (except Short Term
     Treasury Fund) and the Tax-Free Funds may invest in futures contracts and
     options on futures contracts on domestic or foreign exchanges or boards of
     trade. These instruments may be used for hedging purposes, to maintain
     liquidity to meet potential shareholder redemptions, to invest cash
     balances or dividends, or to minimize trading costs.

     A Fund will not purchase or sell a futures contract unless, after the
     transaction, the sum of the aggregate amount of margin deposits on its
     existing futures positions and the amount of premiums paid for related
     options used for non-hedging purposes is 5% or less of the Fund's total
     assets.

     Special Risks. Futures contracts and related options present the following
     risks: imperfect correlation between the change in market value of a Fund's
     securities and the price of futures contracts and options; the possible
     inability to close a futures contract when desired; losses due to
     unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; and the
     possible inability of the advisor or sub-advisor to correctly predict the
     direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and
     other economic factors.

Guaranteed Investment Contracts. Guaranteed investment contracts are agreements
by a Fund to make payments to an insurance company's general account in exchange
for a minimum level of interest based on an index.

     Investment Strategy. The Income Funds (except Short Term Treasury Fund),
     Cash Investment Fund and Money Market Fund may invest in guaranteed
     investment contracts.

     Special Risks. Guaranteed investment contracts are considered illiquid
     investments and are acquired subject to a Fund's limitation on illiquid
     investments.

                                       45
<PAGE>

Illiquid Securities. Illiquid securities include private placements or other
securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or
for which there is no readily available market.

     Investment Strategy. Each Fund may invest up to 15% (10% in the case of a
     Money Market Fund) of its net assets in securities that are illiquid.

     Special Risks. To the extent that a Fund invests in illiquid securities,
     the Fund risks not being able to sell the securities at the time and the
     price that it would like. The Fund may have to lower the price, sell
     substitute securities or forego an investment opportunity, each of which
     may cause a loss to the Fund.

Investment Companies. To the extent consistent with their respective investment
objectives and policies, the Funds (other than Short-Term Treasury Fund and U.S.
Treasury Money Market Fund) may invest in securities issued by other investment
companies.

     Investment Strategy. Investments by a Fund in other investment companies
     will be subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act.

     Special Risks. As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund would
     be subject to the same risks as any other investor in that company. In
     addition, it would bear a proportionate share of any fees and expenses paid
     by that company. These would be in addition to the advisory and other fees
     paid directly by the Fund.

Municipal Obligations. Municipal obligations may include: (i) general obligation
bonds issued for various public purposes and supported by the municipal issuer's
credit and taxing power; and (ii) revenue bonds whose principal and interest is
payable only from the revenues of a particular project or facility.

     Investment Strategy. The Tax-Free Funds and Tax-Free Money Market Fund will
     normally invest at least 80% of their net assets in municipal obligations.

     Special Risks. Industrial revenue bonds depend on the credit standing of a
     private issuer and may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax
     (AMT). Although Tax-Free Money Market Fund may invest more than 25% of its
     net assets in municipal revenue obligations, it does not intend to do so on
     a regular basis. If it does, it will be riskier than a fund which does not
     concentrate to such an extent on similar projects.

Options. An option is a type of derivative instrument that gives the holder the
right (but not the obligation) to buy (a "call") or sell (a "put") an asset in
the future at an agreed upon price prior to the expiration date of the option.

     Investment Strategy. The Equity Funds, Income Funds (except Short Term
     Treasury Fund), Tax-Free Free Bond Fund and Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund may
     write (sell) covered call options, buy put options, buy call options and
     write secured put options for hedging purposes. Options may relate to
     particular securities, foreign or domestic securities indices, financial
     instruments or foreign currencies.

     Special Risks. The value of options can be highly volatile, and their use
     can result in loss if the advisor or sub-advisor is incorrect in its
     expectation of price fluctuations. The successful use of options for
     hedging purposes also depends in part on the ability of the advisor or sub-
     advisor to predict future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation
     between the options and securities markets.

Repurchase Agreements. Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities
by a Fund subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at a mutually
agreed upon date and price.

     Investment Strategy. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
     banks and broker-dealers that are deemed to be creditworthy by the advisor
     or sub-advisor.

     Special Risks. If the seller defaults or declares bankruptcy, a Fund may
     suffer if the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other
     collateral are less than the repurchase price or if there are delays in
     selling the underlying securities or collateral.

Securities Lending. In order to generate additional income, each Fund may lend
securities on a short-

                                       46
<PAGE>

term basis to qualified institutions. By reinvesting any cash collateral it
receives in these transactions, the Fund could realize additional income gains
or losses.

     Investment Strategy.  Securities lending may represent no more than 25% of
     the value of a Fund's total assets (including the loan collateral).

     Special Risks.  The main risk when lending Fund securities is that if the
     borrower fails to return the securities or the invested collateral has
     declined in value, the Fund could lose money.

Stripped Securities. These securities are issued by the U.S. Government (or
agency or instrumentality), foreign governments or banks and other financial
institutions. They entitle the holder to receive either interest payments or
principal payments that have been "stripped" from a debt obligation. These
obligations include participations in trusts that hold U.S. Treasury or agency
securities.


     Special Risks. Stripped securities are very sensitive to changes in
     interest rates and to the rate of principal repayments. A rapid or
     unexpected increase in mortgage prepayments could severely depress the
     price of certain stripped mortgage-backed securities and adversely affect a
     Fund's total returns.

Temporary Investments. Short-term obligations refer to U.S. Government
securities, high-quality money market instruments and repurchase agreements with
maturities of 13 months or less. Generally, these obligations are purchased to
provide stability and liquidity to a Fund.

     Investment Strategy. Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in short-
     term obligations pending investment or to meet anticipated redemption
     requests. The Tax-Free Funds and Tax-Free Money Market Fund may hold
     uninvested cash if, in the advisor's opinion, suitable tax-exempt
     securities are not available. Each Tax-Free Fund may also invest a portion
     of its assets in short-term money market instruments, the income from which
     is subject to Federal income tax.

     Special Risks. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective when its
     asset are invested in short-term obligations.

Variable and Floating Rate Instruments. Variable and floating rate instruments
have interest rates that are periodically adjusted either at set intervals or
that float at a margin above a generally recognized index rate. These
instruments include variable amount master demand notes.

     Special Risks. Variable and floating rate instruments are subject to the
     same risks as fixed income investments, particularly interest rate risk and
     credit risk. Because there is no active secondary market for certain
     variable and floating rate instruments, they may be more difficult to sell
     if the issuer defaults on its payment obligations or during periods when a
     Fund is not entitled to exercise its demand rights. As a result, the Fund
     could suffer a loss with respect to these instruments.

     When - Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Transactions and Forward
     Commitments. A purchase of "when-issued" securities refers to a transaction
     made conditionally because the securities, although authorized, have not
     yet been issued. A delayed delivery or forward commitment transaction
     involves a contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a
     future date beyond the customary settlement period.

     Special Risks. Purchasing or selling securities on a when-issued, delayed
     delivery or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of
     the securities may change by the time they are actually issued or
     delivered. These transactions also involve the risk that the seller may
     fail to deliver the security or cash on the settlement date.

Zero Coupon Bonds. These are securities issued at a discount from their face
value because interest payments are typically postponed until maturity.

     Special Risks. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more
     volatile than the market prices of interest-bearing securities and are
     likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates than
     interest-bearing securities having

                                       47
<PAGE>

     similar maturities and credit quality. A Fund's investments in zero coupon
     bonds may require the Fund to sell some of its portfolio securities to
     generate sufficient cash to satisfy certain income distribution
     requirements.

Redeeming Shares

Redemption Price

We will redeem shares at the NAV next determined after we receive the redemption
request in proper form.

Methods for Redeeming Shares

  .  [You may redeem shares of all Funds through your [broker-dealer] or
     financial institution.]

  .  [Others Methods]

  .  You can redeem a portion of your shares of the Income Funds (other than the

Policies for Redeeming Shares

  .  Shares held by an institution on behalf of its customers must be redeemed
     in accordance with instructions and limitations pertaining to the account
     at that institution.

  .  If we receive a redemption order for a Fund (other than a Money Market

     redeeming institution on the next business day. If we receive a redemption
     order for a Money Market Fund before 12:00 noon (Eastern time), we will
     normally wire payment to the redeeming institution on the same business
     day. If an order for a Money Market Fund is received between 12:00 noon and
     4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), we will normally wire redemption proceeds the
     next business day.

Additional Policies For Purchases, Exchanges And Redemptions

  .  We consider requests to be in "proper form" when all required documents are
     properly completed, signed and received.

  .  If your purchase order and payment for a Money Market Fund is received in
     proper form before 2:45 p.m. (Eastern time), you will receive dividends for
     that day. If your redemption order is received before 2:45 p.m. (Eastern
     time), you will not receive dividends for that day.

                                       50
<PAGE>

  .  The Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase order.

  .  At any time, the Funds may change any of their purchase, redemption or
     exchange practices, and may suspend the sale of their shares.

  .  The Funds may delay sending redemption proceeds for up to seven days, or
     longer if permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  .  To limit the Funds' expenses, we do not currently issue share certificates.

  .  If you are redeeming recently purchased shares, your redemption request may
     not be honored until your check or [electronic transaction] has cleared.
     This may delay your transaction for up to 15 days.

  .  A Fund may temporarily stop redeeming shares if:

     .    the New York Stock Exchange is closed;
     .    trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
     .    an emergency exists and the Fund cannot sell its assets or accurately
          determine the value of its assets; or
     .    the Securities and Exchange Commission orders the Fund to suspend
          redemptions.

  .  If accepted by a Fund, investors may purchase shares of the Fund (other
     than the Real Estate Equity Investment Fund) with securities which the Fund
     may hold. The advisor will determine if the securities are consistent with
     the Funds objectives and policies. If accepted, the securities will be
     valued the same way the Fund values portfolio securities it already owns.
     Call the Funds at (800) 438-5789 for more information.

  .  The Funds reserve the right to make payment for redeemed shares wholly or
     in part by giving the redeeming shareholder portfolio securities. The
     shareholder may pay transaction costs to dispose of these securities.

  .  We record all telephone calls for your protection and take measures to
     identify the caller. As long as the Fund's transfer agent takes reasonable
     measures to authenticate telephone requests on an investor's account,
     neither the Funds, the Fund's distributor nor the transfer agent will be
     held responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions.

  .  We may redeem your account if its value falls below $250 as a result of
     redemptions (but not as a result of a decline in net asset value). You will
     be notified in writing and allowed 60 days to increase the value of your
     account to the minimum investment level.

  .  If you purchased shares directly through the Funds' transfer agent, the
     transfer agent will send you confirmations of the opening of an account and
     of all subsequent purchases, exchanges or redemptions in the account.
     Confirmations of transactions effected through an institution will be sent
     to the institution.

  .  Financial institutions are responsible for transmitting orders and payments
     for their customers on a timely basis.

Pricing Of Fund Shares
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund's NAV is calculated on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
NAV is the value of a single share of a Fund. NAV for Class K shares is
calculated by (1) taking the current value of a Funds total assets allocated to
that class of shares, (2) subtracting the liabilities and expenses charged to
that class (3) dividing that amount by the total number of shares of that class
outstanding.

The Funds (other than the Money Market Funds) calculate NAV as of the close of
business on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). [The
Money Market Funds calculate NAV as of 2:45 p.m. (Eastern time) and as of the
close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern
time).]

If the New York Stock Exchange closes early, the Funds will accelerate their
calculation of NAV and transaction deadlines to that time.

The NAV of each Fund (other than the Money Market Funds) is generally based on
the market value of the securities held in the Fund. If market values are not
available, the fair value of securities is determined in good faith by, or using
procedures approved by, the Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Funds.

In determining each Money Market Fund's NAV, securities are valued at amortized
cost, which is approximately equal to market value.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times that vary from the
closing of the New York Stock Exchange. A Fund values foreign securities at the
latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior
to the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Certain foreign currency exchange
rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the New
York Stock Exchange. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Occasionally, events that affect
these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are
determined and the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. If the advisor
believes that such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities,
these securities may be valued at their fair market value as determined in good
faith by, or using procedures approved by, the Funds' Boards of
Directors/Trustees.

Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days
when a Fund does not price its shares. Therefore, the value of a Fund's
portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to buy or sell
their shares.

Distributions
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a shareholder you are entitled to your share of a Fund's net income and gains
on its investments. The Funds pass substantially all of its earnings along to
its shareholders as distributions. When the Funds earns dividends from stocks
and interest from debt securities and distributes these earnings to
shareholders, it is called a dividend distribution. A Fund realizes capital
gains when it sells securities for a higher price than it paid. When these gains
are distributed to shareholders, it is called a capital gain distribution.

Balanced Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Small Company Growth Fund and International
Bond Fund: pay dividends, if any, quarterly.

Equity Selection Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, NetNet Fund, Framlington
Emerging Markets Fund, Framlington Global Financial Services Fund, Framlington
Healthcare Fund, Framlington International Growth Fund, International Equity
Fund, Micro-Cap Equity Fund, Multi-Season Growth Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund and
Value Fund: pay dividends, if any, at least annually.

Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, Michigan Tax-
Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund and
Real Estate Equity Investment Fund: pay dividends, if any, monthly.

Short Term Treasury Fund, Cash Investment Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund,
Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund: dividends are declared
daily and paid monthly.

All Funds: distribute their net realized capital gains, if any, at least
annually.

It is possible that a Fund may make a distribution in excess of the Funds
earnings and profits. You will treat such a distribution as a return of capital
which is applied against and reduces your basis in your shares. You will treat
the excess of any such distribution over your basis in your shares as gain from
a sale or exchange of the shares.

Each Fund will pay distributions in additional shares of that Fund. If you wish
to receive distributions in cash, either indicate this request on your account
application form or notify the Funds by calling (800) 438-5789.

Federal Tax Considerations
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investments in a Fund may have tax consequences that you should consider. This
section briefly describes some of the more common federal tax consequences. A
more detailed discussion about the tax treatment of distributions from the Funds
and about other potential tax liabilities, including backup withholding for
certain taxpayers and about tax aspects of dispositions of shares of the Funds,
is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. You should consult your
tax adviser about your own particular tax situation.

Taxes On Distributions

You will generally have to pay federal income tax on all Fund distributions.
Distributions will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive the
distributions in cash or in additional shares of the Fund. The Tax-Free Funds
and the Tax-Free Money Market Fund expect that a portion of their dividend
distributions will be exempt from federal income tax. Shareholders not subject
to tax on their income, generally will not be required to pay any tax on
distributions.

Distributions that are derived from net long-term capital gains generally will
be taxed as long-term capital gains. Dividend distributions and short-term
capital gains generally will be taxed as ordinary income. The tax you pay on a
given capital gains distribution generally depends on how long the Fund held the
portfolio securities it sold. It does not depend on how long you held your Fund
shares.

Distributions are generally taxable to you in the tax year in which they are
paid, with one exception: distributions declared in October, November or
December, but not paid until January of the following year, are taxed as though
they were paid on December 31 in the year in which they were declared.

Shareholders generally are required to report all Fund distributions on their
federal income tax returns. Each year the Funds will send you information
detailing the amount of ordinary income and capital gains paid to you for the
previous year.

Dividends and certain interest income earned from foreign securities by a Fund
may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes. A Fund may be permitted to
pass on to its shareholders the right to a credit or deduction for income or
other tax credits earned from foreign investments and will do so if possible.
These deductions or credits may be subject to tax law limitations.

Taxes On Sales

If you sell shares of a Fund or exchange them for shares of another Fund, you
generally will be subject to tax on any taxable gain. Your taxable gain is
computed by subtracting your tax basis in the shares from the redemption
proceeds (in the case of a sale) or the value of the shares received (in the
case of an exchange). Because your tax basis depends on the original purchase
price and on the price at which any dividends may have been reinvested, you
should be sure to keep account statements so that you or your tax preparer will
be able to determine whether a sale or an exchange will result in a taxable
gain.

Other Considerations

If you buy shares of a Fund just before the Fund makes any distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and then receive back a portion of the
money you have just invested in the form of a taxable distribution.

If you have not provided complete, correct taxpayer information by law, the
Funds must withhold a portion of your distributions and redemption proceeds to
pay federal income taxes.

World Asset Management, L.L.C. "World", 255 East Brown Street, Birmingham,

its affiliates] had approximately $__ billion in assets under management, of
which $__ billion were invested in equity securities, $__ billion were invested
in money market or other short-term instruments, $__ billion were invested in
other fixed income securities, and $__ billion in non-discretionary assets. As
of September 30, 1999, World had approximately $__ in assets under management.

The advisors provide overall investment management for their respective Funds.
Except for the Framlington Funds, the advisors provide all research and credit
analysis and are responsible for all purchases and sales of portfolio
securities.

Framlington Overseas Investment Management Limited "Framlington", a subsidiary
of MCM, is the sub-advisor of the Framlington Funds.

Framlington provides research and credit analysis for each of the Framlington
Funds and is responsible for making all purchases and sales of portfolio
securities for each of the Framlington Funds other than the Framlington Global
Financial Services Fund. MCM and Framlington each manage a portion of the assets

purchases and sales of domestic securities held by the Framlington Global
Financial Services Fund. Framlington is responsible for the allocation of the
Funds assets among countries and for making all purchases and sales of foreign
securities held by the Fund.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, each Fund paid an advisory fee at an
annual rate based on the average daily net assets of the Fund (after waivers, if
any) as follows:

 Balanced Fund                                0.65%
 Growth & Income Fund                         0.75%
 Growth Opportunities Fund                    0.75%
 International Equity Fund                    0.75%
 Micro-Cap Equity Fund                        1.00%
 Multi-Season Growth Fund                     0.75%
 NetNet Fund                                  1.00%
 Real Estate Equity Investment Fund           0.74%
 Small-Cap Value Fund                         0.75%
 Small Company Growth Fund                    0.75%
 Value Fund                                   0.74%
 Framlington Emerging Markets Fund            1.25%
 Framlington Global Financial Services
 Fund                                         0.75%
 Framlington Healthcare Fund                  1.00%
 Framlington International Growth Fund        1.00%
 Bond Fund                                    0.50%
 Intermediate Bond Fund                       0.50%
 International Bond Fund                      0.50%
 U.S. Government Income Fund                  0.50%
 Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund                  0.50%
 Tax-Free Bond Fund                           0.50%
 Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund        0.50%
 Short Term Treasury Fund                     0.25%
 Cash Investment Fund                         0.35%
 Money Market Fund                            0.40%
 Tax-Free Money Market Fund                   0.35%
 U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund              0.35%

Because MCM voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its fees for the Multi-
Season Growth Fund, the payment shown above for that Fund is less than the
contractual advisory fee of 1.00% of the Multi-Season Growth Funds average daily
net assets.

MCM may, from time to time, make payments to banks, broker-dealers or other
financial institutions for certain services to the Funds and/or their
shareholders, including sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and shareholder
servicing. MCM may make such payments out of its own resources and there are no
additional costs to the Funds or their shareholders.

Please note that Comerica Bank, an affiliate of the advisor, receives a fee from
the Funds for providing shareholder services to its customers who own shares of
the Funds.

     .    assumes that the common or collective trust fund paid the same levels
          of fees and expenses as the corresponding Fund currently pays;

     .    does not reflect any potential negative impact on the common and
          collective trust funds performance if they had been subjected to the
          same regulatory restrictions (the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue
          Code) as the corresponding Fund; and

a unit trust organized under the laws of the United Kingdom managed by the same
personnel of the sub-advisor with similar investment objectives and policies to
the Framlington Healthcare Fund. In the case of Emerging Markets portfolio
performance, the data relates to a Canadian-based institutional emerging markets
portfolio managed by the same personnel of the sub-advisor with similar
investment objectives and policies to the Framlington Emerging Markets Fund.

The trust account performance is provided by Standard & Poor's Micropal, an
independent research organization that is a recognized source of performance
data in the UK unit trust industry. The data is U.S. dollar adjusted on the
basis of exchange rates provided by Datastream using WM/Reuters closing rates.

advisory fees and initial sales charges. The data assume the reinvestment of net
income and capital gain distributions. The trust account returns are calculated
using beginning offer and ending bid prices for periods ended December 31, 1996.

You should not rely on the following performance data of the sub-advisor's
client accounts as an indication of future performance of the Framlington Funds.

Financial Highlights
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The financial highlights table is intended to help shareholders understand each
Funds financial performance for the past 5 years (or, if shorter, the period of
the Funds operations). Certain information reflects financial results for a
single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an
investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Because the Class Y shares of
the Equity Selection Fund had not commenced operations on June 30, 1999,
financial highlights are not presented for that Fund. The information has been
audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent accountants, whose report along with
each Funds financial statements, are included in the annual reports of the
Funds, and are incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional
Information. You may obtain the annual reports without charge by calling (800)
438-5789.

Risk/Return Summary
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Risk/Return Summary briefly describes the goals and principal investment
strategies of the Funds and the principal risks of investing in the Funds. For
further information on these and the Funds' other investment strategies and
risks, please read the section entitled More About The Funds.

Certain terms used in this prospectus are defined in the Glossary.

An investment in the Funds is not a bank deposit and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency.

The Risk/Return Summary includes a table for each Fund showing its average
annual returns and a bar chart showing its annual returns. The table and bar
chart provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in each Fund
by showing:

 .    how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years (or over the
     life of the Fund if the Fund is less than 10 years old) compare to those of
     a broad based securities market index; and;

 .    changes in the Fund's performance from year to year over 10 years (or over
     the life of the Fund if the Fund is less than 10 old).

When you consider this information, please remember that a Fund's performance in
past years is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Income Funds

Bond Fund

Goal

The Fund's primary goal is to provide a high level of current income. Its
secondary goal is capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goals by investing, under normal market conditions, at
least 65% of its total assets in a broad range of bonds and other fixed income
securities. These may include:

 .    U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such
     securities;
 .    obligations of state, local and foreign governments;
 .    obligations of domestic and foreign banks;
 .    obligations of domestic and foreign corporations;
 .    zero coupon bonds, debentures and convertible debentures;
 .    mortgage and other asset-backed securities; and
 .   stripped securities.

The Fund's strategy focuses on areas where the advisor believes value can be
added. These include credit analysis and analysis of such factors as interest
rate relationships, the relative attractiveness of bond market sectors and the
characteristics of individual issuers.

The Fund's dollar-weighted average maturity will generally range between six and
fifteen years.

The Fund will purchase only fixed income securities that are rated investment
grade or better, or if unrated, are of comparable quality.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are interest rate risk and
credit risk. To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign securities, it may be
subject to foreign securities risk.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "Summary of Principal Risks" and "More About the Funds."

Intermediate Bond Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide a competitive rate of return which, over time,
exceeds the rate of inflation and the return provided by money market
instruments.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goals by investing, under normal market conditions, at
least 65% of its total assets in a broad range of bonds and other fixed income
securities. These may include:

 .   U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such
    securities;
 .   obligations of state, local and foreign governments;
 .   obligations of domestic and foreign banks;
 .   obligations of domestic and foreign corporations;
 .   zero coupon bonds, debentures and convertible debentures;
 .   mortgage and other asset-backed securities; and
 .   stripped securities.

The Fund's strategy focuses on areas where the advisor believes value can be
added. These include credit analysis and analysis of such factors as interest
rate relationships, the relative attractiveness of bond market sectors and the
characteristics of individual issues.

The Fund's dollar-weighted average maturity will generally range between three
and eight years.

The Fund will purchase only fixed income securities that are rated investment
grade or better, or if unrated, are of comparable quality.

Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are interest rate risk and
credit risk. To the extent that the Fund purchases foreign securities, it may be
subject to foreign securities risk.

International Bond Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to realize a competitive total return through a combination
of current income and capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least
65% of its total assets in a broad range of bonds and other fixed income
securities of foreign issuers. These may include:

 .    obligations issued by foreign governments, their agencies,
     instrumentalities or political subdivisions;
 .    obligations issued or guaranteed by supranational organizations (such as
     the World Bank);
 .    obligations of foreign banks or bank holding companies; and
 .    obligations of foreign corporations.

The Fund will invest in the securities of issuers in at least three foreign
countries.

The Fund's strategy focuses on analysis of bond yield relationships and
specifically focuses on making allocation decisions based on yield relationships
between countries, pricing inefficiencies in the marketplace and yield curve
analysis.

The Fund's dollar-weighted average maturity will generally range between three
and fifteen years.

The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in domestic obligations, including
U.S. Government securities and obligations of domestic banks and corporations.

The Fund is "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act and may invest more of its
assets in fewer issuers than a "diversified" investment company.

The Fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts.


Principal Risks

Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund are interest rate risk,
credit risk, foreign securities risk, currency risk and non-diversified risk. To
the extent the Fund enters into forward currency contracts, it may be subject to
derivatives risk.

Summary of Principal Risks of the Funds

The share price of the Funds will change daily based on market conditions and
other factors. Therefore, you may lose money if you invest in the Funds.

The following summary briefly describes the principal risks that may affect a
Fund's portfolio as a whole. More information about the Funds' principal
investment strategies and their associated risks is contained in the section
entitled "More About the Funds."

Credit (or Default) Risk is the risk of loss because an issuer of a security may
default on its payment obligations. Also, an issuer may suffer adverse changes
in its financial condition that could lower the credit quality of a security,
leading to greater volatility in the price of the security and in shares of the
Fund. A change in the quality rating of a bond can affect the bond's liquidity
and make it more difficult for the Fund to sell. Funds particularly subject to
this risk are: Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, International Bond Fund, U.S.
Government Income Fund, Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Bond Fund and Tax-
Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund.

Derivatives Risk is the risk that loss may result from a Fund's use of futures
and options on futures contracts, options, forward currency exchange contracts
and other forms of derivative instruments. The primary risk with many
derivatives is that they can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or
losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative
instrument. International Bond Fund is particularly subject to this risk.

Foreign Securities Risk is the risk of loss because investments by a Fund in
foreign securities may experience greater and more rapid change in value than
investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities are generally more volatile
and less liquid than U.S. securities, in part because of greater political and
economic risks and because there is less public information available about
foreign companies. Issuers of foreign securities are generally not subject to
the same degree of regulation as are U.S. issuers. The reporting, accounting and
auditing standards of foreign countries may differ, in some cases significantly,
from U.S. standards. Funds particularly subject to this risk are: Bond Fund,
Intermediate Bond Fund and International Bond Fund.

         Currency Risk. Funds that invest in foreign securities denominated in
         foreign currencies may also be subject to currency risk. This is the
         risk of loss because a decline in the value of foreign currencies
         relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of a Fund's portfolio
         securities denominated in those currencies. International Bond Fund is
         particularly subject to this risk.

Interest Rate Risk is the risk of loss because increases in prevailing interest
rates will cause fixed-income securities held by a Fund to decline in value.
Longer term bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than
shorter term bonds. Generally, the longer the average maturity of the bonds held
by the Fund, the more the Fund's share price will fluctuate in response to
interest rate changes. Funds particularly subject to this risk are Bond Fund,
Intermediate Bond Fund, International Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund,
Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund and Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund.

Market Risk is the risk of loss because the value of the securities in which a
Fund invests may decline in response to general economic conditions. Price
changes may be temporary or last for extended periods. For example, stock prices
have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. In addition, the value of
a Fund's investments may decline if the particular companies the Funds invest in
do not perform well. All of the Munder Funds are subject to this risk.

Non-Diversified Risk is the risk of loss because a Fund that invests more of its
assets in fewer issuers than many other funds do, may be more susceptible to
adverse developments affecting any single issuer, and more susceptible to
greater losses because of these developments. For example, the Michigan Tax-Free
Bond Fund invests primarily in Michigan municipal obligations, if Michigan
issuers suffer serious financial difficulties, jeopardizing their ability to pay
their obligations, the Fund may suffer a loss. International Bond Fund, Michigan
Tax-Free Bond Fund and Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund are subject to this
risk.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Prepayment Risk is the risk that a Fund may experience losses when an issuer
exercises its right to pay principal on an obligation held by the Fund (such as
a mortgage-backed security) earlier than expected. This may happen during a
period of declining interest rates. Under these circumstances, the Fund may be
unable to recoup all of its initial investment and will suffer from having to
reinvest in lower yielding securities. The loss of higher yielding securities
and the reinvestment at lower interest rates can reduce the Fund's income, total
return and share price. Funds particularly subject to this risk are: Bond Fund,
Intermediate Bond Fund and U.S. Government Income Fund.

Who May Want to Invest

The Income Funds may be appropriate for investors:

 .    Looking for potentially higher returns and willing to accept greater risk
     than more conservative fixed rate investments or money market funds.

 .    Looking for current income.

The Tax-Free Funds may be appropriate for investors:

 .    Looking primarily for tax-exempt income and comfortable with the risks
     involved with income funds.

More About The Funds
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds' principal investment strategies and risks are summarized above in the
section entitled Risk/Return Summary. A more complete description of each Fund's
investments and strategies and their associated risks is provided below under
"Special Risks and Other Considerations" and "Additional Descriptions of
Investments and Investment Strategies." The Funds may also invest in other
securities and are subject to further restrictions and risks which are described
in the Statement of Additional Information. The Glossary below explains certain
terms used throughout this prospectus.

Glossary

Types Of Funds

Income Funds are the Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, International Bond Fund
and U.S. Government Income Fund. Tax-Free Funds are the Michigan Tax-Free Bond
Fund, Tax-Free Bond Fund and Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund.

Types Of Securities

Fixed income securities are securities that pay interest at set times at either
fixed, floating or variable rates, or which are issued at a discount to their
principal amount instead of making periodic interest payments. Fixed income
securities include corporate bonds, debentures and other similar corporate debt
instruments, zero coupon bonds and variable amount master demand notes.

Convertible securities are bonds or preferred stocks that may be converted
(exchanged) into the common stock of the issuing company within a specified time
period for a specified number of shares. Convertible securities offer the Funds
a way to participate in the capital appreciation of the common stock into which
the securities are convertible, while earning higher current income than is
available from the common stock.


U.S. Government securities are securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. These securities include U.S.
Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bonds and obligations of the
Federal Home Loan Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association and
Government National Mortgage Association.

Money market instruments are high-quality, short-term instruments including
commercial paper, bankers' acceptances and negotiable certificates of deposit of
banks or savings and loan associations, short-term corporate obligations and
short-term U.S. Government securities.

Municipal obligations are obligations of states, territories and possessions of
the United States and the District of Columbia, and their political
subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. They may be payable
from the issuer's general revenue, the revenue of a specific project, current
revenues or a reserve fund.

Rating Agencies And Indices

Moody's is Moody's Investor Services, Inc.

Duff & Phelps is Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.

Fitch is Fitch IBCA, Inc.

S&P is Standard & Poor's Rating Services.

Other

1940 Act is the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Internal Revenue Code is the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

NAV is the net asset value per share of a Fund. NAV is the value of a single
share of a Fund. Each Fund calculates NAV separately for each class. NAV is
calculated by (1) taking the current value of a Fund's total assets allocated to
a particular class of shares, (2) subtracting the liabilities and expenses
charged to that class (3) dividing that amount by the total number of shares of
that class outstanding.

                                       14
<PAGE>

A diversified investment company is an investment company that may not invest
more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer other than the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. This limit applies only to 75% of
a diversified Fund's assets. In addition, a diversified Fund cannot invest more
than 25% of its assets in a single issuer. These limitations do not apply to the
non-diversified Funds.

Special Risks And Other Considerations

Derivative Risk. "Derivative" instruments are financial contracts whose value is
based on an underlying security, a currency exchange rate, an interest rate or a
market index. Many types of instruments representing a wide range of potential
risks and rewards are derivatives, including futures contracts, options on
futures contracts, options, swaps, forward currency contracts and structured
debt obligations (including collateralized mortgage obligations and other types
of asset-backed securities, "stripped" securities and various floating rate
instruments).

         Investment Strategy. The Funds may use derivative instruments.
         Derivatives can be used for hedging (attempting to reduce risk by
         offsetting one investment position with another) or speculation (taking
         a position in the hope of increasing return). The Funds may, but are
         not required to, use derivatives for hedging purposes or for the
         purpose of remaining fully invested or maintaining liquidity. The Funds
         will not use derivatives for speculative purposes.

         Special Risks. The use of derivative instruments exposes a Fund to
         additional risks and transaction costs. Risks of derivative instruments
         include: (1) the risk that interest rates, securities prices and
         currency markets will not move in the direction that a portfolio
         manager anticipates; (2) imperfect correlation between the price of
         derivative instruments and movements in the prices of the securities,
         interest rates or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact that skills
         needed to use these strategies are different than those needed to
         select portfolio securities; (4) the possible absence of a liquid
         secondary market for any particular instrument and possible exchange
         imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult
         or impossible to close out a position when desired; (5) the risk that
         adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss
         substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment in that
         instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); (6)
         particularly in the case of privately-negotiated instruments, the risk
         that the counterparty will not perform its obligations, which could
         leave the Fund worse off than if it had not entered into the position;
         and (7) the inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid
         adverse tax consequences.

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign securities include direct investments in non-
U.S. dollar-denominated securities traded outside of the United States and
dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the United States.

         Investment Strategy. International Bond Fund will invest all or a
         substantial portion of its total assets in foreign securities. The
         other Income Funds may invest up to 25% of their total assets in
         foreign securities. The Tax-Free Funds may invest up to 10% of their
         total assets in foreign securities.

         Special Risks. Foreign securities involve special risks and costs.
         Investment in the securities of foreign governments involves the risk
         that foreign governments may default on their obligations or may
         otherwise not respect the integrity of their debt.

         Investment in foreign securities may involve higher costs than
         investment in U.S. securities, including higher transaction and custody
         costs as well as the imposition of additional taxes by foreign
         governments. Foreign investments may also involve risks associated with
         the level of currency exchange rates, less complete financial
         information about the issuers, less market liquidity, more market
         volatility and political instability. Future political and economic
         developments, the possible imposition of withholding taxes on dividend
         income, the possible seizure or nationalization of foreign holdings,
         the possible establishment of exchange controls or freezes on the
         convertibility of currency, or the adoption of other governmental
         restrictions might adversely affect an

                                       15
<PAGE>

         investment in foreign securities. Additionally, foreign issuers may be
         subject to less stringent regulation, and to different accounting,
         auditing and recordkeeping requirements.

         Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods
         of time causing a Fund's net asset value to fluctuate as well. A
         decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar
         will reduce the value of a foreign currency-denominated security. To
         the extent that a Fund is invested in foreign securities while also
         maintaining currency positions, it may be exposed to greater combined
         risk. The Funds' respective net currency positions may expose them to
         risks independent of their securities positions.

         Additional risks are involved when investing in countries with emerging
         economies or securities markets. In general, the securities markets of
         these countries are less liquid, are subject to greater price
         volatility, have smaller market capitalizations and may have problems
         with securities registration and custody. In addition, because the
         securities settlement procedures are less developed in these countries,
         a Fund may be required to deliver securities before receiving payment
         and may also be unable to complete transactions during market
         disruptions. As a result of these and other risks, investments in these
         countries generally present a greater risk of loss to the Fund.

         A further risk of investing in foreign securities is the risk that a
         Fund may be adversely affected by the conversion of certain European
         currencies into the Euro. This conversion, which is under way, is
         scheduled to be completed in the year 2002. However, problems with the
         conversion process and delays could increase volatility in world
         markets and affect European markets in particular.

Investment Grade Credit Risk. A security is considered investment grade if, at
the time of purchase, it is rated:

 .    BBB or higher by S&P;
 .    Baa or higher by Moody's;
 .    BBB or higher by Duff & Phelps; or
 .    BBB or higher by Fitch.

A security will be considered investment grade if it receives one of the above
ratings, even if it receives a lower rating from other rating organizations.

         Investment Strategy. Except as stated in the next section, fixed income
         and convertible securities purchased by the Funds will generally be
         rated at least investment grade. The Funds may also invest in unrated
         securities if the advisor or believes they are comparable in quality.

         Special Risks. Although securities rated "BBB" by S&P, Duff & Phelps or
         Fitch, or Baa by Moody's are considered investment grade, they have
         certain speculative characteristics. Therefore, they may be subject to
         a higher risk of default than obligations with higher ratings.
         Subsequent to its purchase by a Fund, a rated security may cease to be
         rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum rating required
         for purchase by the Fund. The advisor will consider such an event in
         determining whether the Fund should continue to hold the security.

Short-Term Trading. The Funds' historical portfolio turnover rates are shown in
the Financial Highlights.

         Investment Strategy.  The Funds may engage in short-term trading.

         Special Risks. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) could
         produce higher trading costs and taxable distributions, which could
         detract from the Fund's performance.

Defensive Investing. Each Fund may invest all or any portion of its assets in
short-term obligations as a temporary defensive measure in response to adverse
market or economic conditions.

         Special Risks. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective when its
         assets are invested in short-term obligations.

Year 2000 Risk. Like other mutual funds, financial institutions, business
organizations and individuals around the world, the Funds could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by the advisor and the Funds' other
service providers do not

                                       16
<PAGE>

properly process and calculate date-related information and data from and after
January 1, 2000. The advisor is taking steps that it believes are reasonably
designed to address year 2000 computer-related problems with respect to the
computer systems that it uses and to obtain assurances that comparable steps are
being taken by the Funds' other major service providers. Although there can be
no assurances, the advisor believes that these steps will be sufficient to avoid
any adverse impact on any of the Funds. Similarly, there can be no assurance
that year 2000 issues will not affect the companies and other issuers in which
the Funds invest or affect worldwide markets and economies.

Additional Description Of Investments And Investment Strategies

Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are debt securities backed by
mortgages, installment sales contract and credit card receivables. The
securities are sponsored by entities such as government agencies, banks,
financial companies and commercial or industrial companies. In effect, these
securities "pass through" the monthly payments that individual borrowers make on
their mortgage or other assets net of any fees paid to the issuers. Examples of
these include guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized
mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate mortgage investment conduits
("REMICs").

         Investment Strategy. All Income Funds may invest a portion of its
         assets in Asset-Backed Securities.

         Special Risks. In addition to credit and market risk, asset-backed
         securities involve repayment risk because the underlying assets (loans)
         may be prepaid at any time. The value of these securities may also
         change because of actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness
         of the originator, the servicing agent, the financial institution
         providing the credit support, or the counterparty. Like other fixed
         income securities, when interest rates rise the value of an
         asset-backed security generally will decline. However, when interest
         rates decline, the value of an asset-backed security with prepayment
         features may not increase as much as that of other fixed income
         securities. In addition, non-mortgage asset-backed securities involve
         certain risks not presented by mortgage-backed securities. Primarily,
         these securities do not have the benefit of the same security interest
         in the underlying collateral.

Borrowing and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Funds can borrow money from
banks and enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and other
financial institutions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of
securities held by a Fund subject to the Fund's agreement to repurchase them at
a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest).

         Investment Strategy. Each Fund may borrow money in an amount up to 5%
         of its assets for temporary emergency purposes and in an amount up to
         33 1/3% of its assets to meet redemptions. This is a fundamental policy
         which can be changed only by shareholders.

         Special Risks. Borrowings and reverse repurchase agreements by a Fund
         may involve leveraging. If the securities held by the Fund decline in
         value while these transactions are outstanding, the Fund's net asset
         value will decline in value by proportionately more than the decline in
         value of the securities. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements
         involve the risks that the interest income earned by the Fund (from the
         investment of the proceeds) will be less than the interest expense of
         the transaction, that the market value of the securities sold by the
         Fund will decline below the price the Fund is obligated to pay to
         repurchase the securities, and that the securities may not be returned
         to the Fund.

Credit Quality of the Tax-Free Funds. The Tax-Free Funds will invest in
long-term instruments only if they are rated "A" or better by Moody's or S&P or,
if unrated, are of comparable quality. These Funds will invest in short-term
instruments only if they (i) have short-term debt ratings in the top two
categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, (ii) are issued by an issuer with such ratings or (iii) if
unrated, are of comparable quality.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward currency exchange contract is an
obligation to exchange one currency for another on a future date at a specified
exchange rate.

         Investment Strategy. Forward currency exchange contracts may be used
         for hedging

                                       17
<PAGE>

         purposes and to help reduce the risks and volatility caused
         by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency
         exchange contracts will be used at the discretion of the advisor, and
         no Fund is required to hedge its foreign currency positions.

         Special Risks. Forward currency contracts are privately negotiated
         transactions, and can have substantial price volatility. When used for
         hedging purposes, they tend to limit any potential gain that may be
         realized if the value of a Fund's foreign holdings increases because of
         currency fluctuations.

Futures Contracts and Related Options. A futures contract is a type of
derivative instrument that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset in the
future at an agreed upon price. When a Fund purchases an option on a futures
contract, it has the right to assume a position as a purchaser or seller of a
futures contract at a specified exercise price during the option period. When a
Fund sells an option on a futures contract, it becomes obligated to purchase or
sell a futures contract if the option is exercised.

         Investment Strategy. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts
         are traded on domestic or foreign exchanges or boards of trade. These
         instruments may be used for hedging purposes, to maintain liquidity to
         meet potential shareholder redemptions, to invest cash balances or
         dividends, or to minimize trading costs.

         A Fund will not purchase or sell a futures contract unless, after the
         transaction, the sum of the aggregate amount of margin deposits on its
         existing futures positions and the amount of premiums paid for related
         options used for non-hedging purposes is 5% or less of the Fund's total
         assets.

         Special Risks. Futures contracts and related options present the
         following risks: imperfect correlation between the change in market
         value of a Fund's securities and the price of futures contracts and
         options; the possible inability to close a futures contract when
         desired; losses due to unanticipated market movements, which are
         potentially unlimited; and the possible inability of the advisor to
         correctly predict the direction of securities prices, interest rates,
         currency exchange rates and other economic factors.

Guaranteed Investment Contracts. Guaranteed investment contracts are agreements
by a Fund to make payments to an insurance company's general account in exchange
for a minimum level of interest based on an index.

         Investment Strategy. The Income Funds may invest in guaranteed
         investment contracts.

         Special Risks. Guaranteed investment contracts are considered illiquid
         investments and are acquired subject to a Fund's limitation on illiquid
         investments.

Illiquid Securities. Illiquid securities include private placements or other
securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or
for which there is no readily available market.

         Investment Strategy. Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets
         in securities that are illiquid.

         Special Risks. To the extent that a Fund invests in illiquid
         securities, the Fund risks not being able to sell the securities at the
         time and the price that it would like. The Fund may have to lower the
         price, sell substitute securities or forego an investment opportunity,
         each of which may cause a loss to the Fund.

                                       18
<PAGE>

Investment Companies. To the extent consistent with their respective investment
objectives and policies, the Funds may invest in securities issued by other
investment companies.

         Investment Strategy. Investments by a Fund in other investment
         companies will be subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act.

         Special Risks. As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund
         would be subject to the same risks as any other investor in that
         company. In addition, it would bear a proportionate share of any fees
         and expenses paid by that company. These would be in addition to the
         advisory and other fees paid directly by the Fund.

Municipal Obligations. Municipal obligations may include: (i) general obligation
bonds issued for various public purposes and supported by the municipal issuer's
credit and taxing power; and (ii) revenue bonds whose principal and interest is
payable only from the revenues of a particular project or facility.

         Investment Strategy. The Tax-Free Funds will normally invest at least
         80% of their net assets in municipal obligations.

         Special Risks. Industrial revenue bonds depend on the credit standing
         of a private issuer and may be subject to the federal alternative
         minimum tax (AMT).


Options. An option is a type of derivative instrument that gives the holder the
right (but not the obligation) to buy (a "call") or sell (a "put") an asset in
the future at an agreed upon price prior to the expiration date of the option.

         Investment Strategy. The Income Funds, Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund and
         Tax-Free Bond Fund may write (sell) covered call options, buy put
         options, buy call options and write secured put options for hedging
         purposes. Options may relate to particular securities, foreign or
         domestic securities indices, financial instruments or foreign
         currencies.

         Special Risks. The value of options can be highly volatile, and their
         use can result in loss if the advisor is incorrect in its expectation
         of price fluctuations. The successful use of options for hedging
         purposes also depends in part on the ability of the advisor to predict
         future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation between the
         options and securities markets.

Repurchase Agreements. Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities
by a Fund subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at a mutually
agreed upon date and price.

         Investment Strategy. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements
         with banks and broker-dealers that are deemed to be creditworthy by the
         advisor.

         Special Risks. If the seller defaults or declares bankruptcy, a Fund
         may suffer if the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities
         and other collateral are less than the repurchase price or if there are
         delays in selling the underlying securities or collateral.

Securities Lending. In order to generate additional income, each Fund may lend
securities on a short-term basis to qualified institutions. By reinvesting any
cash collateral it receives in these transactions, the Fund could realize
additional income gains or losses.

         Investment Strategy. Securities lending may represent no more than 25%
         of the value of a Fund's total assets (including the loan collateral).

         Special Risks. The main risk when lending Fund securities is that if
         the borrower fails to return the securities or the invested collateral
         has declined in value, the Fund could lose money.

Stripped Securities. These securities are issued by the U.S. Government (or
agency or instrumentality), foreign governments or banks and other financial
institutions. They entitle the holder to receive either interest payments or
principal payments that have been "stripped" from a debt obligation. These
obligations include participations in trusts that hold U.S. Treasury or agency
securities.

         Special Risks. Stripped securities are very sensitive to changes in
         interest rates and to the rate of principal repayments. A rapid or
         unexpected increase in mortgage

                                       19
<PAGE>

         prepayments could severely depress the price of certain stripped
         mortgage-backed securities and adversely affect a Fund's total returns.

Temporary Investments. Short-term obligations refer to U.S. Government
securities, high-quality money market instruments and repurchase agreements with
maturities of 13 months or less. Generally, these obligations are purchased to
provide stability and liquidity to a Fund.

         Investment Strategy. Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in
         short-term obligations pending investment or to meet anticipated
         redemption requests. The Tax-Free Funds may hold uninvested cash if, in
         the advisor's opinion, suitable tax-exempt securities are not
         available. Each Tax-Free Fund may also invest a portion of its assets
         in short-term money market instruments, the income from which is
         subject to Federal income tax.

         Special Risks. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective when its
         asset are invested in short-term obligations.

Variable and Floating Rate Instruments. Variable and floating rate instruments
have interest rates that are periodically adjusted either at set intervals or
that float at a margin above a generally recognized index rate. These
instruments include variable amount master demand notes.

         Special Risks. Variable and floating rate instruments are subject to
         the same risks as fixed income investments, particularly interest rate
         risk and credit risk. Because there is no active secondary market for
         certain variable and floating rate instruments, they may be more
         difficult to sell if the issuer defaults on its payment obligations or
         during periods when a Fund is not entitled to exercise its demand
         rights. As a result, the Fund could suffer a loss with respect to these
         instruments.

When - Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Transactions and Forward Commitments.
A purchase of "when-issued" securities refers to a transaction made
conditionally because the securities, although authorized, have not yet been
issued. A delayed delivery or forward commitment transaction involves a contract
to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond the
customary settlement period.

         Special Risks. Purchasing or selling securities on a when-issued,
         delayed delivery or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the
         value of the securities may change by the time they are actually issued
         or delivered. These transactions also involve the risk that the seller
         may fail to deliver the security or cash on the settlement date.

Zero Coupon Bonds. These are securities issued at a discount from their face
value because interest payments are typically postponed until maturity.

         Special Risks. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are
         more volatile than the market prices of interest-bearing securities and
         are likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates
         than interest-bearing securities having similar maturities and credit
         quality. A Fund's investments in zero coupon bonds may require the Fund
         to sell some of its portfolio securities to generate sufficient cash to
         satisfy certain income distribution requirements.

         certificates.

     .   A Fund may temporarily stop redeeming shares if:

         .   the New York Stock Exchange is closed;
         .   trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
         .   an emergency exists and the Fund cannot sell its assets or
             accurately determine the value of its assets; or
         .   the Securities and Exchange Commission orders the Funds to suspend
             redemptions.

     .   If accepted by a Fund, investors may purchase shares of the Fund with
         securities that the Fund may hold. The advisor will determine if the
         securities are consistent with the Funds' objectives and policies. If
         accepted, the securities will be valued the same way the Fund values
         portfolio securities it already owns. Call the Funds at (800) 438-5789
         for more information.

     .   The Funds reserve the right to make payment for redeemed shares wholly
         or in part by giving the redeeming shareholder portfolio securities.
         The shareholder may pay transaction costs to dispose of these
         securities.

     .   We record all telephone calls for your protection and take measures to
         identify the caller. As long as the Funds' transfer agent takes
         reasonable measures to authenticate telephone requests on an investor's
         account,

         neither the Funds, the Funds' distributor nor the transfer agent will
         be held responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized
         transactions.

     .   We may redeem your account if its value falls below $250 as a result of
         redemptions (but not as a result of a decline in NAV). You will be
         notified in writing and allowed 60 days to increase the value of your
         account to the minimum investment level.

     .   If you purchased shares directly from the Funds, the Funds' transfer
         agent will send you confirmations of the opening of an account and of
         all subsequent purchases, exchanges or redemptions in the account. If
         your account has been set up by a broker or other investment
         professional, account activity will be detailed in their statements to
         you.

     .   [The exchange privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term
         trading. Excessive exchange activity may interfere with portfolio
         management and have an adverse effect on all shareholders. Each Fund
         and its distributor reserve the right to refuse any purchase or
         exchange request that could adversely affect the fund or its
         operations, including those from any individual or group who, in the
         Fund's view, is likely to engage in excessive trading or any order
         considered market-timing activity. If a Fund refuses a purchase or
         exchange request and the shareholder deems it necessary to redeem their
         account, any CDSC as permitted by the prospectus will be applicable.

         Additionally, in no event will any Fund permit more than six exchanges
         into or out of a Fund in any one-year period per account, tax
         identification number, social security number or related investment
         group. The Munder Money Market Funds are exempt from this policy.]


Shareholder Privileges

Automatic Investment Plan (AIP). Under the AIP you may arrange for periodic
investments in a Fund through automatic deductions from a checking or savings
account. To enroll in the AIP you should complete the AIP application form or
call the Funds at (800) 438-5789. The minimum pre-authorized investment amount
is $50. You may discontinue the AIP at any time. We may discontinue the AIP on
30 days' written notice to you.

Reinvestment Privilege. For 60 days after you sell shares of a Fund, you may
reinvest your redemption proceeds in shares of the same class of a Fund at NAV.
Any CDSC you paid on the amount you are reinvesting will be credited to your
account. You may use this privilege once in any given twelve-month period with
respect to your shares of a Fund. You or your broker must notify the Funds'
transfer agent in writing at the time of reinvestment in order to eliminate the
sales charge on your reinvestment.

Automatic Withdrawal Plan (AWP). If you have an account value of $2,500 or more
in a Fund, you may redeem shares on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual
basis. The minimum withdrawal is $50. We usually process withdrawals on the 20th
day of the month and promptly send you your redemption amount. You may enroll in
the AWP by completing the AWP application form available through the Funds'
transfer agent. To participate in the AWP you must have your dividends
automatically reinvested and may not hold share certificates. You may change or
cancel the AWP at any time upon notice to the Funds' transfer agent. You should
not buy Class A shares (and pay a sales charge) while you participate in the AWP
and you must pay any applicable CDSC when you redeem shares.

Free Checkwriting. Free checkwriting is available to holders of Class A shares
of the Funds (other than the International Bond Fund) who complete the signature
card section of the account application form. You may write checks in the amount
of $500 or more but you may not close a Fund account by writing a check. We may
change or terminate this program on 30 days' notice to you.

Distribution Arrangements
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Share Class Selection

Each Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Each class has its own
cost structure, allowing you to choose the one that best meets your requirements
given the amount of your purchase and the intended length of your investment.
You should consider both ongoing annual expenses and initial sales charge or
CDSC in estimating the costs of investing in a particular class of shares.

Class A shares
 .  Front end sales charge. There are several ways to reduce these sale charges.
 .  Lower annual expenses than Class B and Class C shares.

Class B shares
 .  No front end sales charge.  All your money goes to work for you right away.
 .  Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.
 .  A CDSC on shares you sell within six years of purchase.
 .  Automatic conversion to Class A shares approximately six years after
   issuance, thus reducing future annual expenses. o CDSC is waived for certain
   redemptions.

Class C shares
 .  No front end sales charge or CDSC, except for a CDSC for redemptions made
   within the first year after investing. All your money goes to work for you
   right away.
 .  Shares do not convert to another class.
 .  Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.

Each Fund also issues other classes of shares, which have different sales
charges, expense levels and performance. The other classes of shares are
available to limited types of investors. Call (800) 438-5789 to obtain more
information about the Funds' other classes.

Applicable Sales Charge- Class A Shares

You can purchase Class A shares at NAV plus an initial sales charge. The sales

For further information on sales charge waivers, call (800) 438-5789.

Sales Charge Reductions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges in the following cases:

 .    Letter of Intent. If you intend to purchase at least $100,000 of Class A
     shares of the Funds you may wish to complete the Letter of Intent section
     of your account application form. By doing so, you agree to invest a
     certain amount over a 13-month period. You would pay a sales charge on any
     Class A shares you purchase during the 13 months based on the total amount
     to be invested under the Letter of Intent. You can apply any investments
     you made in any of the Munder Funds during the preceding 90-day period
     toward fulfillment of the Letter of Intent (although there will be no
     refund of sales charges you paid during the 90-day period). You should
     inform the Funds' transfer agent that

                                       26
<PAGE>

     you have a Letter of Intent each time you make an investment.

     You are not obligated to purchase the amount specified in the Letter of
     Intent. If you purchase less than the amount specified, however, you must
     pay the difference between the sales charge paid and the sales charge
     applicable to the purchases actually made. The Funds' custodian will hold
     such amount in escrow. The custodian will pay the escrowed funds to your
     account at the end of the 13 months unless you do not complete your
     intended investment.

 .    Quantity Discounts. You may combine purchases of Class A shares that are
     made by you, your spouse, your children under age 21 and your IRA when
     calculating the sales charge. You must notify your broker or the Funds'
     transfer agent to qualify.

 .    Right of Accumulation. You may add the value of any shares of non-money
     market Munder Funds you already own to the amount of your next Class A
     share investment for purposes of calculating the sales charge at the time
     of the current purchase. You must notify your broker or the Funds' transfer
     agent to qualify.

Certain brokers may not offer these programs or may impose conditions or fees to
use these programs. You should consult with your broker prior to purchasing the
Funds' shares.

For further information on sales charge reductions, call (800) 438-5789.

Cdsc

You pay a CDSC when you redeem:
 .    Class A shares that were bought as part of an investment of at least $1
     million within one year of buying them;
 .    Class B shares within six years of buying them;
 .    Class C shares within one year of buying them.

These time periods include the time you held Class B or Class C shares of
another Munder Fund which you may have exchanged for Class B or Class C shares
of the Fund you are redeeming.

The CDSC schedule for Class B shares purchased after June 27, 1995 is set forth
below. Consult the Statement of Additional Information for the CDSC schedule for
Class B shares purchased on or before June 27, 1995. The CDSC is based on the
original NAV at the time of your investment or the NAV at the time of
redemption, whichever is lower.

Years Since Purchase                           CDSC
- --------------------                           ----
First...................................       5.00%
Second..................................       4.00%
Third...................................       3.00%
Fourth..................................       3.00%
Fifth...................................       2.00%
Sixth...................................       1.00%
Seventh and thereafter..................       0.00%

[At the time of purchase of Class B shares, the Funds' distributor pays sales
commissions of 4.00% of the purchase price to brokers that initiate and are
responsible for purchases of such Class B shares.]

You will not pay a CDSC to the extent that the value of the redeemed shares
represents:
     .   reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions; or
     .   capital appreciation of shares redeemed.

When you redeem shares, we will assume that you are redeeming first shares
representing reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, then any
appreciation on shares redeemed, and then remaining shares held by you for the
longest period of time. [We will calculate the holding period of Class B shares
of a Fund acquired through an exchange of Class B shares of the Munder Money
Market Fund (which are available only by exchange of Class B shares of a Munder
Fund) from the date that the Class B shares of the initial Munder Fund were
purchased.]

CDSC Waivers
We will waive the CDSC payable upon redemptions of shares which you purchased
after June 27, 1995 (or acquired through an exchange of shares of another Munder
Fund purchased after June 27, 1995) for:
 .    redemptions made within one year after the death of a shareholder or
     registered joint owner;
 .    minimum required distributions made from an IRA or other retirement plan
     account after you reach age 70 1/2;
 .    involuntary redemptions made by the Fund;
 .    redemptions limited to 10% per year of an account's net asset value. For
     example, if you maintain an annual balance of $10,000 you can redeem up to
     $1,000 annually free of charge.

We will waive the CDSC payable upon redemptions of shares which you purchased
after December 1, 1998 (or acquired through an exchange of shares of

                                       27
<PAGE>

another Munder Fund purchased after December 1, 1998) for:
 .    redemptions made from an IRA or other individual retirement plan account
     established through Comerica Securities, Inc. after you reach age 59 1/2
     and after the eighteen month anniversary of the purchase of Fund shares.

Consult the Statement of Additional Information for Class B CDSC waivers which
apply when you redeem shares purchased on or before June 27, 1995 (or acquired
through an exchange of shares of another Munder Fund purchased on or before June
27, 1995).

We will waive the CDSC for Class B shares for all redemptions by Merrill Lynch
Plans if:

(i)    the Plan is recordkept on a daily valuation basis by Merrill Lynch; or
(ii)   the Plan is recordkept on a daily valuation basis by an independent
       recordkeeper whose services are provided through a contract or alliance
       arrangement with Merrill Lynch; or
(iii)  the Plan has less than 500 eligible employees, as determined by the
       Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager, on the date the plan sponsor signs
       the Merrill Lynch Recordkeeping Service Agreement.

12b-1 Fees

The Funds have adopted Rule 12b-1 plans with respect to their Class A, Class B
and Class C shares that allow the Funds to pay distribution and other fees for
the sale of its shares and for services provided to shareholders. Under the
plans, the Funds may pay up to .25% of the daily net assets of Class A, Class B
and Class C shares to pay for certain shareholder services provided by
institutions that have agreements with the Funds' distributor to provide such
services. The Funds may also pay up to .75% of the daily net assets of the Class
B and Class C shares to finance activities relating to the distribution of its
shares.

Because the fees are paid out of each Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over
time these fees will increase the cost of an investment in a Fund and may cost a
shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.


Other Information

The advisor may, from time to time, make payments to banks, broker-dealers or
other financial institutions for certain services to the Funds and/or their
shareholders, including sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and shareholder
servicing. The advisor may make such payments out of its own resources and there
are no additional costs to the Funds or their shareholders.

Please note that Comerica Bank, an affiliate of the advisor, receives a fee from
the Funds for providing shareholder services to its customers who own shares of
the Funds.

Pricing Of Fund Shares
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund's NAV is calculated on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
NAV is the value of a single share of a Fund. Each Fund calculates NAV
separately for each class. NAV is calculated by (1) taking the current value of
a Fund's total assets allocated to a particular class of shares, (2) subtracting
the liabilities and expenses charged to that class (3) dividing that amount by
the total number of shares of that class outstanding.

The Funds calculate NAV as of the close of business on the New York Stock
Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). If the New York Stock Exchange
closes early, the Funds will accelerate calculation of NAV and transaction
deadlines to that time.

The NAV of each Fund is generally based on the market value of the securities
held by in the Fund. If market values are not available, the fair value of
securities is determined in good faith by, or using procedures approved by, the
Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Funds.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times that vary from the
closing of the New York Stock Exchange. A Fund values foreign securities at the
latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior
to the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Certain foreign currency exchange
rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the New
York Stock Exchange. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Occasionally, events that affect
these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are
determined and the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. If the advisor
believes that such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities,
these securities may be valued at their fair market value as determined in good
faith by, or using procedures approved by, the Funds' Boards of
Directors/Trustees.

Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days
when a Fund does not price its shares. Therefore, the value of a Fund's
portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to buy or sell
their shares.


Distributions
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a shareholder, you are entitled to your share of a Fund's net income and
gains on its investments. Each Fund passes substantially all of its earnings
along to its shareholders as distributions. When a Fund earns dividends from
stocks and interest from debt securities and distributes these earnings to
shareholders, it is called a dividend distribution. A Fund realizes capital
gains when it sells securities for a higher price than it paid. When these gains
are distributed to shareholders, it is called a capital gain distribution.

Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, U.s. Government Income Fund, Michigan Tax-
Free Bond Fund, Tax-free Bond Fund And Tax-free Short-intermediate Bond Fund
These Funds pay dividends, if any, monthly.

International Bond Fund
This Fund pays dividends, if any, quarterly.

All Funds

Each Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

It is possible that a Fund may make a distribution in excess of the Fund's
earnings and profits. You will treat such a distribution as a return of capital
which is applied against and reduces your basis in your shares. You will treat
the excess of any such distribution over your basis in your shares as a gain
from a sale or exchange of the shares.

Each Fund normally will pay distributions in additional shares of that Fund. If
you wish to receive distributions in cash, either, indicate this request on your
account application form or notify the Funds by calling (800) 438-5789.

                                       29

Federal Tax Considerations
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investments in a Fund may have tax consequences that you should consider. This
section briefly describes some of the more common federal tax consequences. A
more detailed discussion about the tax treatment of distributions from the Funds
and about other potential tax liabilities, including backup withholding for
certain taxpayers and about tax aspects of dispositions of shares of the Funds,
is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. You should consult your
tax adviser about your own particular tax situation.

Taxes On Distributions

You will generally have to pay federal income tax on all Fund distributions.
Distributions will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive the
distributions in cash or in additional shares of the Fund. The Tax-Free Funds
expect that a portion of their dividend distributions will be exempt from
federal income tax. Shareholders not subject to tax on their income generally
will not be required to pay any tax on distributions.

Distributions that are derived from net long-term capital gains generally will
be taxed as long-term capital gains. Dividend distributions and short-term
capital gains generally will be taxed as ordinary income. The tax you pay on a
given capital gains distribution generally depends on how long the Fund held the
portfolio securities it sold. It does not depend on how long you held your Fund
shares.

Distributions are generally taxable to you in the year in which they are paid,
with one exception: distributions declared in October, November or December, but
not paid until January of the following year, are taxed as though they were paid
on December 31 in the year in which they were declared.

Shareholders generally are required to report all Fund distributions on their
federal income tax returns. Each year the Funds will send you information
detailing the amount of ordinary income and capital gains paid to you for the
previous year.

If a Fund invests in certain "passive foreign investment companies" ("PFICs"),
it will be subject to Federal income tax (and possibly additional interest
charges) on a portion of any "excess distribution" or gain from the disposition
of such shares, even if it distributes such income to its shareholders. If a
Fund elects to treat PFIC as a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") and the PFIC
furnishes certain financial information in the required form to such Fund, the
Fund will instead be required to include in income each year its allocable share
of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains of the QEF, regardless of whether
received, and such amounts will be subject to the various distribution
requirements described above. The Funds may also elect to mitigate the tax
effects of owning PFIC stock by making an annual mark-to-market election with
respect to PFIC shares.

Taxes On Sales Or Exchanges

If you sell shares of a Fund or exchange them for shares of another Munder Fund,
you generally will be subject to tax on any taxable gain. Taxable gain is
computed by subtracting your tax basis in the shares from the redemption
proceeds (in the case of a sale) or the value of the shares received (in the
case of an exchange). Because your tax basis depends on the original purchase
price and on the price at which any dividends may have been reinvested, you
should be sure to keep account statements so that you or your tax preparer will
be able to determine whether a sale or an exchange will result in a taxable
gain.

Other Considerations

If you buy shares of a Fund just before the Fund makes any distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and then receive back a portion of the
money you just invested in the form of a taxable distribution.

If you have not provided complete, correct taxpayer information by law the Funds
must withhold a portion of your distributions and redemption proceeds to pay
federal income taxes.

Financial Highlights
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The financial highlights table is intended to help shareholders understand each
Fund's financial performance for the past 5 years (or, if shorter, the period of
the Fund's operations). Certain information reflects financial results for a
single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an
investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a Fund (assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information has been
audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent accountants, whose report, along with
each Fund's financial statements, are included in the annual reports of the
Funds, and are incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional
Information. You may obtain the annual reports without charge by calling
(800) 438-5789.

Risk/Return Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Risk/Return Summary briefly describes the goals and principal investment
strategies of the Funds and the principal risks of investing in the Funds.  For
further information on the Funds' principal investment strategies and risks,
please read the section entitled More About The Funds.  Each Fund may also use
other investment techniques to achieve its goal.  For information on these
techniques and their related risks, please read the Statement of Additional
Information.

An investment the Funds is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Cash Investment Fund

Goal

The Fund's primary goal is to provide as high a level of current interest income
as is consistent with maintaining liquidity and stability of principal.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing in a broad range of U.S. dollar-
denominated money market instruments.

The Fund invests solely in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities with
remaining maturities of 13 months or less and maintains an average dollar-
weighted portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

The Fund's investments may include fixed and variable rate securities.

The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, guaranteed investment contracts,
stripped securities, asset-backed securities, enter into repurchase agreements
and lend its portfolio securities.

Principal Risks

Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

Credit (or Default) Risk is the risk of loss because an issuer of a security may
default on its payment obligations. Also, an issuer may suffer adverse changes
in its financial condition that could lower the credit quality of a security,
leading to greater volatility in the price of the security and in shares of the
Fund.  A change in the quality rating of a bond can affect the bond's liquidity
and make it more difficult for the Fund to sell.

Interest Rate Risk is the risk that increases in prevailing interest rates will
cause fixed-income securities held by the Fund to decline in value.  Longer term
bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than shorter term
bonds.  Generally, the longer the average maturity of the bonds held by the
Fund, the more the Fund's share price will fluctuate in response to interest
rate changes.

Foreign Securities Risk is the risk of loss because investments by the Fund in
foreign securities may experience greater and more rapid change in value than
investments in U.S. securities.  Foreign securities are generally more volatile
and less liquid than U.S. securities, in part because of greater political and
economic risks and because there is less public information available about
foreign companies.  Issuers of foreign securities are generally not subject to
the same degree of regulation as are U.S. issuers.  The reporting, accounting
and auditing standards of foreign countries may differ, in some cases
significantly, from U.S. standards.

Prepayment Risk is the risk that the Fund may experience losses when an issuer
exercises its right to pay principal on an obligation held by the Fund (such as
a mortgage-backed security) earlier than expected.  This may happen during a
period of declining interest rates.  Under these circumstances, the Fund may be
unable to recoup all of its initial investment and will suffer from having to
reinvest in lower yielding securities.  The loss of higher yielding securities
and the reinvestment at lower interest rates can reduce the Fund's income, total
return and share price.

Further information about the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks
is provided below under "More About the Funds."

Money Market Fund

Goal

The Fund's primary goal is to provide as high a level of current interest income
as is consistent with maintaining liquidity and stability of principal.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing in a broad range of U.S. dollar-
denominated money market instruments.

The Fund invests solely in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities with
remaining maturities of 13 months or less and maintains an average dollar-
weighted portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

Fund, the more the Fund's share price will fluctuate in response to interest
rate changes.

is provided below under "More About the Funds."

Tax-Free Money Market Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt
from Federal income taxes as is consistent with maintaining liquidity and
stability of principal.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing substantially all of its assets in short-
term, U.S. dollar-denominated municipal obligations, the interest on which is
exempt from regular Federal income tax.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net
assets in municipal obligations.

The Fund invests solely in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities with
remaining maturities of 13 months or less and maintains an average dollar-
weighted portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

The Fund's investments may include fixed and variable rate and zero coupon
securities.  The Fund may also invest in other investment companies and lend its
portfolio securities.

Principal Risks

Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

Credit (or Default) Risk is the risk of loss because an issuer of a security may

bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than shorter term
bonds.

Fund, the more the Fund's share price will fluctuate in response to interest
rate changes.

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide as high a level of current interest income as is
consistent with maintaining liquidity and stability of principal.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund pursues its goal by investing its assets solely in short-term bonds,
bills and notes, issued by the U.S. Treasury (including "stripped" securities)
and in repurchase agreements relating to such obligations.

The Fund invests solely in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities with
remaining maturities of 13 months or less and maintains an average dollar-
weighted portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

The Fund may also lend its portfolio securities.

Principal Risks

Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

The principal risk of investing in the Fund is:

Interest Rate Risk is the risk that increases in prevailing interest rates will

Fund, the more the Fund's share price will fluctuate in response to interest

is provided below under "More About the Funds."

Who May Want To Invest

 .  The Funds may be appropriate for investors who desire a high level of income
   and liquidity and stability of principal.

 .  The Money Market Fund is also designed to be acquired by the exchange of
   shares of other Munder Funds for investors who own other Munder Funds, wish
   to be out of the market temporarily and do not desire to incur redemption
   fees or sales charges.

The Funds alone cannot provide a balanced investment program.

More About The Funds
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds' principal investments, strategies and risks are summarized above in
the section entitled Risk/Return Summary.  Below is further information about
the Funds' principal investment strategies and their associated risks.  The
Funds may also use techniques and invest in securities described in the
Statement of Additional Information.

Fixed income securities are securities that pay interest at set times at either
fixed, floating or variable rates, or which are issued at a discount to their
principal amount instead of making periodic interest payments.  Fixed income
securities include corporate bonds, debentures and other similar corporate debt
instruments, zero coupon bonds and variable amount master demand notes.

U.S. Government securities are securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.  These securities include U.S.
Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bonds and obligations of the
Federal Home Loan Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association and
Government National Mortgage Association.

Money market instruments are high-quality, short-term instruments including
commercial paper, bankers' acceptances and negotiable certificates of deposit of
banks or savings and loan associations, short-term corporate obligations and
short-term U.S. Government securities.

Municipal Obligations are obligations of states, territories and possessions of
the United States and the District of Columbia, and their political
subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities.  They may be payable
from the issuer's general revenue, the revenue of a specific project, current
revenues or a reserve fund.

Foreign Securities.  The Cash Investment Fund and the Money Market Fund may
invest up to 25% of total assets in U.S. dollar denominated money market
securities of foreign issuers, which include securities issued by foreign
companies and foreign governments and their agencies, instrumentalities or
political subdivisions and supranational organizations.  Investments by the
Funds in foreign securities involve risks in addition to those of U.S.
securities, in part because of higher political and economic risks and because
there is less public information available about foreign companies.

Repurchase Agreements.  The Funds may buy securities with the understanding that
the seller will buy them back with interest at a later date.  If the seller is
unable to honor its commitment to repurchase the securities, the Fund could lose
money.

Guaranteed Investment Contracts.  The Cash Investment Fund and the Money Market
may invest in guaranteed investment contracts.  Guaranteed investment contracts
are agreements of the Fund to make payments, generally to an insurance company's
general account, in exchange for a minimum level of interest based on an index.
Guaranteed investment contracts are considered illiquid investments and are
acquired subject to the Fund's limitation on illiquid investments.

Asset-Backed Securities.  Subject to applicable maturity and credit criteria,
the Cash Investment Fund and the Money Market Fund may purchase securities
backed by mortgages, installment sales contracts, credit card receivables or
other assets.  Mortgage-backed securities carry additional risks.  The price and
yield of these securities typically assume that the securities will be redeemed
at a given time before maturity.  When interest rates fall substantially, these
securities are generally redeemed early because the underlying mortgages are
often prepaid.  In that case the Fund would have to reinvest the money at a
lower rate.  In addition, the price or yield of mortgage-backed securities may
fall if they are redeemed later than expected.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities.  Variable and floating rate securities
have interest rates that are periodically adjusted either at set intervals or
that float at a margin above a generally recognized index rate.  These
securities exhibit greater price variations than fixed-rate securities.

Illiquid Securities.  Illiquid securities include private placements or other
securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or
for which there is no readily available market.  Each Fund may invest up to 10%
of its net assets in securities that are illiquid.  To the extent that a Fund
invests in illiquid securities, the Fund risks not being able to sell the
securities at the time and the price that it would like.  The Fund may have to
lower the price, sell substitute securities or forego an investment opportunity,
each of which may cause a loss to the Fund.

When - Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Transactions and Forward Commitments.
A purchase of "when-issued" securities refers to a transaction made
conditionally because the securities, although authorized, have not yet been
issued.  A delayed delivery or forward commitment transaction involves a
contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date
beyond the customary settlement period.  Purchasing or selling securities on a
when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis involves the risk that
the value of the securities may change by the time they ar3e actually issued or
delivered.  These transactions also involve the risk that the seller may fail to
deliver the security or cash on the settlement date.

Zero Coupon Bonds.  These are securities issued at a discount from their face
value because interest payments are typically postponed until maturity.  The
market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market
prices of interest-bearing securities and are likely to respond to a greater
degree to changes in interest rates than interest-bearing securities having
similar maturities and credit quality.  A Fund's investments in zero coupon
bonds may require the Fund to sell some of its portfolio securities to generate
sufficient cash to satisfy certain income distribution requirements.

Stripped Securities.  These securities are issued by the U.S. Government (or
agency or instrumentality), foreign governments or banks and other financial
institutions.  They entitle the holder to receive either interest payments or
principal payments that have been "stripped" from a debt obligation.  These
obligations include participations in trusts that hold U.S. Treasury or agency
securities.  Stripped securities are very sensitive to changes in interest rates
and to the rate of principal repayments.  A rapid or unexpected increase in
mortgage prepayments could severely depress the price of certain stripped
mortgage-backed securities and adversely affect a Fund's total returns.

Securities Lending.  Each Fund may seek additional income by lending portfolio
securities to qualified institutions.  By reinvesting any cash collateral it
receives in these transactions, the Fund could realize additional gains or
losses.  If the borrower fails to return the securities and the invested
collateral has declined in value, the Fund could lose money.

Borrowing and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Funds can borrow money from
banks and enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and other
financial institutions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of
securities held by a Fund subject to the Fund's agreement to repurchase them at
a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest). Each Fund may borrow
money in an amount up to 5% of its assets for temporary emergency purposes and
in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its assets to meet redemptions. This is a
fundamental policy which can be changed only by shareholders. Borrowings and
reverse repurchase agreements by a Fund may involve leveraging. If the
securities held by the Fund decline in value while these transactions are
outstanding, the Fund's net asset value will decline in value by proportionately
more than the decline in value of the securities. In addition, reverse
repurchase agreements involve the risks that the interest income earned by the
Fund (from the investment of the proceeds) will be less than the interest
expense of the transaction, that the market value of the securities sold by the
Fund will decline below the price the Fund is obligated to pay to repurchase the
securities, and that the securities may not be returned to the Fund.

Short-Term Trading.  Each Fund may engage in short-term trading.  A high rate of
portfolio turnover (100% or more) could produce higher trading costs and taxable
distributions, which could detract from a Fund's performance.

Year 2000 Risk.  Like other mutual funds, financial institutions, business
organizations and individuals around the world, the Fund could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by the advisor and the Fund's other
service providers do not properly process and calculate date-related information
and data from and after January 1, 2000.  The advisor is taking steps that it
believes are reasonably designed to address year 2000 computer-related problems
with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain assurances that
comparable steps are being taken by the Fund's other major service providers.
Although there can be no assurances, the advisor believes that these steps will
be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on the Fund.  Similarly, there can be
no assurance that year 2000 issues will not affect the companies and other
issuers in which the Fund invests or affect worldwide markets and economies.

Redeeming Shares

Redemption Price

We will redeem shares at the NAV next determined after we receive the redemption
request in proper form.  We will reduce the amount you receive by the amount of
any applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).

Please see "Distribution Arrangements" below for information about CDSCs.

Policies for Redeeming Shares

 .  For your protection, a signature guarantee is required for the following
   redemption requests: (a) redemption proceeds greater than $50,000; (b)
   redemption proceeds not being made payable to the recordowner of the account;
   (c) redemption proceeds not being mailed to the address of record on the
   account or (d) if the redemption proceeds are being transferred to another
   Munder Fund account with a different registration. You can obtain a signature
   guarantee from a financial institution such as a commercial bank, trust
   company, savings association or from a securities firm having membership on a
   recognized securities exchange.

Methods for Redeeming Shares

You may redeem shares of the Funds in several ways:

                                       14
<PAGE>

 .  By Mail. You may mail your redemption request to: The Munder Funds, c/o First
   Data Investor Services Group, P.O. Box 60428, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania
   19406-0428. The redemption request should state the name of the Fund, share
   class, account number, amount of redemption, account name and where to send
   the proceeds. All account owners must sign.

 .  By Telephone.  You can redeem your shares by calling your broker or by
   calling the Funds at (800) 438-5789.  There is no minimum requirement for
   telephone redemptions.

   If you are redeeming at least $1,000 of shares and you have authorized
   expedited redemption on your account application form, simply call the Funds
   prior to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), and request the funds be mailed to the
   commercial bank or registered broker-dealer you designated on your account
   application form.  We will send your redemption amount to you on the next
   business day.  We reserve the right at any time to change or impose fees for
   this expedited redemption procedure.

   During periods of unusual economic or market activity, you may experience
   difficulties or delays in effecting telephone redemptions. In such cases you
   should consider placing your redemption request by mail.

 .  You may redeem shares through the Automatic Withdrawal Plan.

 .  Free Checkwriting is available to holders of Class A shares of the Funds.

Additional Policies For Purchases, Exchanges And Redemptions

     .  We consider orders to be in "proper form" when all required documents
        are properly completed, signed and received.

     .  The Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase order.

     .  At any time, the Funds may change any of their purchase or redemption
        procedures, and may suspend the sale of their shares.

     .  The Funds may delay sending redemption proceeds for up to seven days, or
        longer if permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     .  We will typically send redemption amounts to you within seven business
        days after you redeem shares. We may hold redemption amounts from the
        sale of shares you purchased by check until the purchase check has
        cleared, which may be as long as 15 days.

     .  To limit the Funds' expenses, we do not currently issue share
        certificates.

     .  A Fund may temporarily stop redeeming shares if:

        .  the New York Stock Exchange is closed;

        .  trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

        .  an emergency exists and the Fund cannot sell its assets or accurately
           determine the value of its assets; or

        .  if the Securities and Exchange Commission orders the Fund to suspend
           redemptions.

     .  If accepted by a Fund, investors may purchase shares of the Fund with
        securities which the Fund may hold. The advisor will determine if the
        securities are consistent with the Funds' objectives and policies. If
        accepted, the securities will be valued the same way the Fund values
        portfolio securities it already owns. Call the Funds at (800) 438-5789
        for more information.

     .  The Funds reserve the right to make payment for redeemed shares wholly
        or in part by giving the redeeming shareholder portfolio securities. The
        shareholder may pay transaction costs to dispose of these securities.

     .  We record all telephone calls for your protection and take measures to
        identify the caller. As long as the Funds' transfer agent takes
        reasonable measures to authenticate telephone requests on an investor's
        account, neither the Funds, the Funds' distributor nor the transfer
        agent will be held responsible for any losses resulting from
        unauthorized transactions.

                                       15

     .  We may redeem your account if its value falls below $250 as a result of
        redemptions (but not as a result of a decline in NAV). You will be
        notified in writing and allowed 60 days to increase the value of your
        account to the minimum investment level.

     .  If you purchased shares directly from the Funds, the transfer agent will
        send you confirmations of the opening of an account and of all
        subsequent purchases, exchanges or redemptions in the account. If your
        account has been set up by a broker or other investment professional,
        account activity will be detailed in their statements to you.

   investments in a Fund through automatic deductions from a checking or savings
   account. To enroll in the AIP you should complete the AIP application form or
   call the Funds at (800) 438-5789. The minimum pre-authorized investment
   amount is $50. You may discontinue the AIP at any time. We may discontinue
   the AIP on 30 days' written notice to you.

 .  Automatic Withdrawal Plan (AWP). If you have an account value of $2,500 or
   more in a Fund, you may redeem shares on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or
   annual basis. The minimum withdrawal is $50. We usually process withdrawals
   on the 20th day of the month and promptly send you your redemption amount.
   You may enroll in the AWP by completing the AWP application form available

   dividends automatically reinvested and may not hold share certificates. You
   may change or cancel the AWP at any time upon notice to the Funds' transfer

   participate in the AWP and you must pay any applicable CDSC when you redeem
   shares.

   shares of the Funds who complete the signature card section of the account
   application form. You may write checks in the amount of $500 or more but you

Distribution Arrangements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cdsc


You pay a CDSC when you redeem:
 .  Class A shares of the Money Market Fund within one year of buying them;
 .  Class A shares of the Money Market Fund acquired through the exchange of
   Class A Shares of another Munder Fund purchased before Jun e 27, 1995 as part
   of an investment of $500,000 or more;
 .  Class B shares of the Money Market Fund within six years of buying them;
 .  Class C shares of the Money Market Fund within one year of buying them.

These time periods include the time you held the shares you
exchanged to acquire Money Market Fund shares.

You pay a 1% CDSC when you redeem Class A shares of the Money Market Fund:
 .  that you acquired through the exchange of initial Class A shares of another
   Munder Fund;
 .  if you acquired the initial Class A shares after June 27, 1995; and
 .  if the initial shares were purchased without a sales charge in connection
   with an investment of $1,000,000 or more.

You pay a CDSC of 1% when you redeem Class C shares of the Money Market Fund
within one year of the date you purchased the initial Class C shares that you
exchanged to acquire Money Market Fund shares.

The CDSC schedule for Class B shares of the Money Market Fund purchased after
June 27, 1995 is set forth below. Consult the Statement of Additional
Information for the CDSC schedule for Class B shares purchased on or before June
27, 1995. The CDSC is based on the original NAV at the time of your investment
or the NAV at the time of redemption, whichever is lower.

</TABLE>

You will not pay a CDSC to the extent that the value of the redeemed shares
represents:
 .  reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions; or
 .  capital appreciation of shares redeemed.

When you redeem shares, we will assume that you are redeeming first shares
representing reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, then
any appreciation on shares redeemed, and then remaining shares held by you for
the longest period of time.

CDSC Waivers
We will waive the CDSC payable upon redemption of Class B shares of the Money
Market Fund which you purchased after June 27, 1995 for:

 .  redemptions made within one year after the death of a shareholder or
   registered joint owner;
 .  minimum required distributions made from an IRA or other retirement plan
   account after you reach age 70 1/2;
 .  involuntary redemptions made by the Fund;
 .  redemptions limited to 10% per year of an account's NAV. For example, if you
   maintain an annual balance of $10,000 you can redeem up to $1,000 annually
   free of charge.

We will waive the CDSC payable upon redemptions of shares which you purchased
after December 1, 1998 (or acquired through an exchange of shares of another
Munder Fund purchased after December 1, 1998) for:

 .  redemptions made from an IRA or other individual retirement plan account
   established through Comerica Securities, Inc. after you reach age 59 1/2 and
   after the eighteen month anniversary of the purchase of Fund shares.

1995.


Rule 12b-1 Fees

The Funds have adopted Rule 12b-1 plans with respect to their Class A shares and
the Money Market Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 plans for Class B and Class C
shares that allow the Funds to pay distribution and other fees for the sale of
its shares and for services provided to shareholders. Under the plans, the Funds
may pay up to .25% of the daily net assets of Class A , Class B and Class C
shares to pay for certain shareholder services provided by institutions that
have agreements with the Funds' distributor to provide such services. The Money
Market Fund may also pay up to .75% of the daily net assets of the Class B and
Class C shares to finance activities relating to the distribution of its shares.

Because the fees are paid out of a Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time
these fees will increase the cost of an investment in a Fund and may cost a
shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.


Other Information

The advisor may, from time to time, make payments to banks, broker-dealers or
other financial institutions for certain services to the Funds and/or their
shareholders, including sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and shareholder
servicing. The advisor may make such payments out of its own resources and there
are no additional costs to the Funds or their shareholders.

Please note that Comerica Bank, an affiliate of the advisor, receives a fee from
the Funds for providing Shareholder services to its customers who own shares of
the Funds.

Pricing of Fund Shares
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund's NAV is calculated on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
NAV is the value of a single share of a Fund. Each Fund calculates NAV
separately for each class. NAV is calculated by (1) taking the current value of
a Fund's total assets allocated to a particular class of shares, (2)
subtracting the liabilities and expenses charged to that class (3) dividing that
amount by the total number of shares of that class outstanding.

The Funds calculate NAV as of 2:45 p.m. (Eastern time) and as of the close of
business on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time).

If the New York Stock Exchange closes early, the Funds will accelerate its
calculation of NAV and transaction deadlines to that time.

In determining each Money Market Fund's NAV, securities are valued at amortized
cost, which is approximately equal to market value.

Distributions
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a shareholder, you are entitled to your share of a Fund's net income and
gains on its investments. Each Fund passes substantially all of its earnings
along to its shareholders as distributions. When a Fund earns dividends from
stocks and interest from debt securities and distributes these earnings to
shareholders, it is called a dividend distribution. A Fund realizes capital
gains when it sells securities for a higher price than it paid. When these gains
are distributed to shareholders, it is called a capital gain distribution.

The Funds declare dividends daily and pay them monthly.

Each Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

If a purchase order is accepted by 2:45 p.m. (Eastern time), the investor will
receive dividends for that day. Otherwise the investor will begin to earn
dividends on the first business day following the day of purchase. If a
redemption order is received by 2:45 p.m. (Eastern time), the redeeming
shareholder will not receive dividends for that day.

It is possible that a Fund may make a distribution in excess of the Fund's
earnings and profits. You will treat such a distribution as a return of capital
which is applied against and reduces your basis in your shares. You will treat
the excess of any such distribution over your basis in your shares as gain from
a sale or exchange of the shares.

Each Fund normally will pay distributions in additional shares of that Fund. If
you wish to receive distributions in cash, either indicate this request on your
account application form or notify the Fund by calling (800) 438-5789.

                                       19

Federal Tax Considerations
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investments in a Fund may have tax consequences that you should consider. This
section briefly describes some of the more common federal tax consequences. A
more detailed discussion about the tax treatment of distributions from the Funds
and about other potential tax liabilities, including backup withholding for
certain taxpayers and about tax aspects of dispositions of shares of the Funds,
is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. You should consult your
tax adviser about your own particular tax situation.

Taxes On Distributions

You will generally have to pay federal income tax on all Fund distributions.
Distributions will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive the
distributions in cash or in additional shares of the Fund. The Tax-Free Money
Market Fund expects that a portion of its dividend distributions will be exempt
from federal income tax. Shareholders not subject to tax on their income,
generally will not be required to pay any tax on distributions.

Distributions that are derived from net long-term capital gains generally will
be taxed as long-term capital gains. Dividend distributions and short-term
capital gains generally will be taxed as ordinary income. The tax you pay on a
given capital gains distribution generally depends on how long the Fund held
the portfolio securities it sold. It does not depend on how long you held your
Fund shares.

Distributions are generally taxable to you in the tax year in which they are
paid, with one exception: distributions declared in October, November or
December, but not paid until January of the following year, are taxed as though
they were paid on December 31 in the year in which they were declared.

Shareholders generally are required to report all Fund distributions on their
federal income tax returns. Each year the Funds will send you information
detailing the amount of ordinary income and capital gains paid to you for the
previous year.

Taxes On Sales Or Exchanges

If you sell shares of a Fund or exchange them for shares of another Munder Fund,
you generally will be subject to tax on any taxable gain. Taxable gain is
computed by subtracting your tax basis in the shares from the redemption
proceeds (in the case of a sale) or the value of the shares received (in the
case of an exchange). Because your tax basis depends on the original purchase
price and on the price at which any dividends may have been reinvested, you
should be sure to keep account statements so that you or your tax preparer will
be able to determine whether a sale will result in a taxable gain.

Other Considerations

If you buy shares of a Fund just before the Fund makes any distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and then receive back a portion of the
money you have just invested in the form of a taxable distribution.

If you have not provided complete, correct taxpayer information by law the Funds
must withhold a portion of your distributions and redemption proceeds to pay
federal income taxes.

Management
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment Advisor

The Funds' investment advisor is Munder Capital Management, 480 Pierce Street,
Birmingham, Michigan 48009. As of September 30, 1999, the advisor and its
affiliates had approximately $___ billion in assets under management, of which
$___ billion were invested in equity securities, $___ billion were invested in
money market or other short-term instruments, $___ billion were invested in
other fixed income securities, and $___ billion in non-discretionary assets.

The advisor provides overall investment management for the Funds, provides
research and credit analysis and is responsible for all purchases and sales of
portfolio securities.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, each Fund paid an advisory fee at an
annual rate based on the average daily net assets of the Fund (after waivers, if
any) as follows:

Cash Investment Fund....................  .35%
Tax-Free Money Market Fund..............  .35%
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund.........  .35%
Money Market Fund.......................  .40%

Financial Highlights
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The financial highlights table is intended to help shareholders understand the
financial performance of each class of shares of each Fund for the past 5 years
(or, if shorter, the period of the Fund's or class' operations). Certain
information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total
returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or
lost) on an investment in a particular class of the Fund (assuming reinvestment
of all dividends and distributions). The financial highlights have been audited
by Ernst & Young LLP, independent accountants, whose report, along with each
Fund's financial statements, are included in the annual reports, and
incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information. You may
obtain the annual report without charge by calling (800) 438-5789.

Risk/Return Summary
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Risk/Return Summary briefly describes the goal and principal investment
strategy of the Munder Index 500 Fund and the principal risks of investing in
the Fund. For further information on the Fund's principal and other investment
strategies and risks, please read the section entitled "More About The Fund".

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide performance and income that is comparable to the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500). The S&P 500 is an
index of 500 stocks which emphasizes large capitalization companies.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Fund pursues its goal by normally holding the securities of at least 400 of
the stocks in the S&P 500.

The Fund is managed through the use of a "quantitative" investment approach and
tries to mirror the composition and performance of the S&P 500 through
statistical procedures. As a result, the advisor does not use traditional
methods of fund investment management, i.e., it does not select stocks on the
basis of economic, financial and market analysis.

The Fund will try to achieve a correlation between the performance of its
portfolio and that of the S&P 500 of at least .95. A correlation of 1.0 would
mean that the changes in the Fund's price mirror exactly the changes in the S&P
500.

The Fund may also enter into futures contracts.

Principal Risks

All investments carry some degree of risk which will affect the value of the
Fund's portfolio investments, its investment performance and the price of its
shares. As a result, you may lose money if you invest in the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

 .    Stock Market Risk. The value of the securities in which the Fund invests
     may decline in response to general economic conditions. Price changes may
     be temporary or last for extended periods. For example, stock prices have
     historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. In addition, the value of
     the Fund's investments may decline if particular companies the Fund invests
     in do not perform well.

 .    Tracking Risk. Because the Fund pays fees and transaction costs, while the
     S&P 500 does not, the Fund's returns are likely to be lower than those of
     the S&P 500. Tracking variance may also result from share purchases,
     redemptions and other factors.

 .    Indexing Strategy Risk. The Fund will invest in the securities included in
     the S&P 500 regardless of market trends. As a result, the Fund cannot
     modify its investment strategy to respond to changes in the economy, which
     means it may be particularly susceptible to a general decline in the large
     capitalization portion of the U.S. stock market.

 .    Derivatives Risk. The Fund may suffer a loss from its use of futures
     contracts, which are forms of derivatives. The primary risk with many
     derivatives is that they can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or
     losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative
     instrument.

                                       2

Who May Want To Invest

The Fund may be appropriate for investors:

 .    Looking to invest over the long term and willing to ride out market swings.

 .    Willing to accept greater risks than those associated with fixed income
     investments.

 .    Looking to invest in a diversified stock portfolio focused on large
     capitalization companies.

The Fund alone cannot provide a balanced investment program.

                                       3

Performance

The bar chart and tables below give some indication of: (a) the variability of
the Fund's returns by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to
year over the life of the Fund; and (b) the risk of an investment in the Fund by
showing how the Fund's average annual total returns for different calendar
periods over the life of the Fund compare to those of a broad based securities
market index.

When you consider this information, please remember the Fund's performance in

Example

The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to
the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes
that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating
expenses remain the same as shown in the table and that all dividends and
distributions are reinvested. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would be:

More About The Fund
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's principal investment strategy and risks are summarized above in the
section entitled "Risk/Return Summary". A more complete description of the
Fund's investments and strategies and their associated risks is provided below.
The Fund may also invest in other securities and is subject to further
restrictions and risks which are described in the Statement of Additional
Information.

Equity Securities. The Fund invests in equity securities which include common
stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stocks.

Foreign Securities. Foreign securities include direct investments in non-U.S.
dollar-denominated securities traded outside of the United States and
dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the United States.
Foreign securities also include indirect investments such as American Depository
Receipts ("ADRs") which are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts representing shares
of foreign-based corporations. ADRs are issued by U.S. banks or trust companies,
and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on
the underlying foreign shares.

         Investment Strategy. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets
         in foreign securities.

         Special Risks. Foreign securities involve special risks and costs.
         Investment in foreign securities may involve higher costs than
         investment in U.S. securities, including higher transaction and custody
         costs as well as the imposition of additional taxes by foreign
         governments. Foreign investments may also involve risks associated with
         the level of currency exchange rates, less complete financial
         information about the issuers, less market liquidity, more market
         volatility and political instability. Future political and economic
         developments, the possible imposition of withholding taxes on dividend
         income, the possible seizure or nationalization of foreign holdings,
         the possible establishment of exchange controls or freezes on the
         convertibility of currency, or the adoption of other governmental
         restrictions might adversely affect an investment in foreign
         securities. Additionally, foreign issuers may be subject to less
         stringent regulation, and to different accounting, auditing and
         recordkeeping requirements.

         Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods
         of time causing the Fund's net asset value to fluctuate as well. A
         decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar
         will reduce the value of a foreign currency-denominated security. To
         the extent that the Fund is invested in foreign securities while also
         maintaining currency positions, it may be exposed to greater combined
         risk. The Fund's respective net currency positions may expose it to
         risks independent of its securities positions.

A further risk of investing in foreign securities is the risk that the Fund may
be adversely affected by the conversion of certain European currencies into the
Euro. This conversion, which is under way, is scheduled to be completed in the
year 2002. However, problems with the conversion process and delays could
increase volatility in world capital markets and affect European capital markets
in particular.

Derivatives. Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on a
security, a currency exchange or interest rate or a market index. Many types of
instruments representing a wide range of potential risks and rewards are
derivatives, including futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
options.

         Investment Strategy. Derivatives can be used for hedging (attempting to
         reduce risk by offsetting one investment position with another) or
         speculation (taking a position in the hope of increasing return). The
         Fund may, but is not required to, use derivatives for hedging purposes
         or for the purpose of remaining fully invested or maintaining
         liquidity. The Fund will not use derivatives for speculative purposes.

         Special Risks. The use of derivative instruments exposes the Fund to
         additional risks and transaction costs. Risks of derivative instruments
         include: (1) the risk that interest rates, securities prices and
         currency markets will not move in the direction that a portfolio
         manager anticipates; (2) imperfect correlation

                                       6
<PAGE>

         between the price of derivative instruments and movements in the prices
         of the securities, interest rates or currencies being hedged; (3) the
         fact that skills needed to use these strategies are different than
         those needed to select portfolio securities; (4) the possible absence
         of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument and possible
         exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it
         difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; (5) the
         risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss
         substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment in that
         instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); (6)
         particularly in the case of privately-negotiated instruments, the risk
         that the counterparty will not perform its obligations, which could
         leave the Fund worse off than if it had not entered into the position;
         and (7) the inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid
         adverse tax consequences.

Futures Contracts and Related Options. A futures contract is a type of
derivative instrument that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset in the
future at an agreed upon price. When the Fund purchases an option on a futures
contract, it has the right to assume a position as a purchaser or seller of a
futures contract at a specified exercise price during the option period. When
the Fund sells an option on a futures contract, it becomes obligated to purchase
or sell a futures contract if the option is exercised.

         Investment Strategy. The Fund may invest in futures contracts and
         options on futures contracts on domestic or foreign exchanges or boards
         of trade. These instruments may be used for hedging purposes, to
         maintain liquidity to meet potential shareholder redemptions, to invest
         cash balances or dividends, or to minimize trading costs.

         The Fund will not purchase or sell a futures contract unless, after the
         transaction, the sum of the aggregate amount of margin deposits on its
         existing futures positions and the amount of premiums paid for related
         options used for non-hedging purposes is 5% or less of the Fund's total
         assets.

         Special Risks. Futures contracts and related options present the
         following risks: imperfect correlation between the change in market
         value of the Fund's securities and the price of futures contracts and
         options; the possible inability to close a futures contract when
         desired; losses due to unanticipated market movements, which are
         potentially unlimited; and the possible inability of the advisor to
         correctly predict the direction of securities prices, interest rates,
         currency exchange rates and other economic factors.

Securities Lending. In order to generate additional income, the Fund may lend
securities on a short-term basis to qualified institutions. By reinvesting any
cash collateral it receives in these transactions, the Fund could realize
additional income gains or losses.

         Investment Strategy. Securities lending may represent no more than 25%
         of the value of the Fund's total assets (including the loan
         collateral).

         Special Risks. The main risk when lending Fund securities is that if
         the borrower fails to return the securities or the invested collateral
         has declined in value, the Fund could lose money.

Borrowing and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can borrow money from
banks and enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and other
financial institutions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of
securities held by the Fund subject to the Fund's agreement to repurchase them
at a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest).

         Investment Strategy. The Fund may borrow money in an amount up to 5% of
         its assets for temporary emergency purposes and in an amount up to 33
         1/3% of its assets to meet redemptions. This is a fundamental policy
         which can be changed only by shareholders.

         Special Risks. Borrowings and reverse repurchase agreements by the Fund
         may involve leveraging. If the securities held by the Fund decline in
         value while these transactions are outstanding, the Fund's net asset
         value will decline in value by proportionately more than the decline in
         value of the securities. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements
         involve the risks that the interest income earned by the Fund (from the
         investment of the proceeds) will

                                       7
<PAGE>

         be less than the interest expense of the transaction, that the market
         value of the securities sold by the Fund will decline below the price
         the Fund is obligated to pay to repurchase the securities, and that the
         securities may not be returned to the Fund.

Year 2000 Risk. Like other mutual funds, financial institutions, business
organizations and individuals around the world, the Fund could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by the advisor and the Fund's other
service providers do not properly process and calculate date-related information
and data from and after January 1, 2000. The advisor is taking steps that it
believes are reasonably designed to address year 2000 computer-related problems
with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain assurances that
comparable steps are being taken by the Fund's other major service providers.
Although there can be no assurances, the advisor believes that these steps will
be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on the Fund. Similarly, there can be
no assurance that year 2000 issues will not affect the companies and other
issuers in which the Fund invests or affect worldwide markets and economies.

 .    [Class A shares of a Munder money market fund that were (1) acquired
     through the use of the exchange privilege and (2) can be traced back to a
     purchase of shares in one or more Munder Funds for which a sales charge was
     paid, can be exchanged for Class A shares of the Fund.]

 .    Class B and Class C shares will continue to age from the date of the
     original purchase and will retain the same CDSC rate as they had before the
     exchange.

 .    You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the Munder Fund that
     you purchase by exchange.

 .    If you are exchanging into shares of a Munder Fund with a higher sales
     charge, you must pay the difference at the time of the exchange.

 .    A share exchange is a taxable event and, accordingly, you may realize a
     taxable gain or loss.

 .    Before making an exchange request, read the prospectus of the Munder Fund
     you wish to purchase by exchange. You can obtain a prospectus for any
     Munder Fund by contacting your broker or calling the Munder Funds at (800)
     438-5789.

     Pennsylvania 19406-0428.

Redeeming Shares

Redemption Price
We will redeem shares at the NAV next determined after we receive the redemption
request in proper form. We will reduce the amount you receive by the amount of
any applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).

Please see "Distribution Arrangements" below for information about CDSCs.

Policies for Redeeming Shares

 .    For your protection, a signature guarantee is required for the following
     redemption requests: (a) redemption proceeds greater than $50,000; (b)
     redemption proceeds not being made payable to the recordowner of the
     account; (c) redemption proceeds not being mailed to the address of record
     on the account or (d) if the redemption proceeds are being transferred to
     another Munder Fund account with a different registration. You can obtain a
     signature guarantee from a financial institution such as a commercial bank,
     trust company, savings association or from a securities firm having
     membership on a recognized securities exchange.

Methods for Redeeming Shares
You may redeem shares of the Fund in several ways:

 .    By Mail. You may mail your redemption request to: The Munder Funds, c/o
     First Data Investor Services Group, P.O. Box 60428, King of Prussia,
     Pennsylvania 19406-0428. The redemption request should state the name of
     the Fund, share class, account number, amount of redemption, account name
     and where to send the proceeds. All account owners must sign.

 .    By Telephone. You can redeem your shares by contacting your broker or
     calling the Fund at (800) 438-5789. There is no minimum requirement for
     telephone redemptions.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     If you are redeeming at least $1,000 of shares and you have authorized
     expedited redemption on your account application form, simply call the Fund
     prior to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), and request the redemption proceeds be
     mailed to the commercial bank or registered broker-dealer you designated on
     your account application form. We will send your redemption proceeds to you
     on the next business day. We reserve the right at any time to change or
     impose fees for this expedited redemption procedure.

     During periods of unusual economic or market activity, you may experience
     difficulties or delays in effecting telephone redemptions. In such cases
     you should consider placing your redemption request by mail.

 .    You may redeem shares through the Automatic Withdrawal Plan.

Additional Policies For Purchases, Exchanges And Redemptions

 .    We consider orders to be in "proper form" when all required documents are
     properly completed, signed and received.

 .    The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order.

 .    At any time, the Fund may change any of its purchase or redemption
     procedures and may suspend the sale of its shares.

 .    The Fund may delay sending redemption proceeds for up to seven days, or
     longer if permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 .    We will typically send redemption amounts to you within seven business days
     after you redeem shares. We may hold redemption amounts from the sale of
     shares you purchased by check until the purchase check has cleared, which
     may be as long as 15 days.

 .    To limit the Fund's expenses, we do not currently issue share certificates.

 .    The Fund may temporarily stop redeeming shares if:

     . the New York Stock Exchange is closed;

     . trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

     . an emergency exists and the Fund cannot sell its assets or accurately
       determine the value of its assets; or the Securities and Exchange

     . Commission orders the Fund to suspend redemptions.

 .    If accepted by the Fund, investors may purchase shares of the Fund with
     securities which the Fund may hold. The advisor will determine if the
     securities are consistent with the Fund's objectives and policies. If
     accepted, the securities will be valued the same way the Fund values
     portfolio securities it already owns. Call the Fund at (800) 438-5789 for
     more information.

 .    The Fund reserves the right to make payment for redeemed shares wholly or
     in part by giving the redeeming shareholder portfolio securities. The
     shareholder may pay transaction costs to dispose of these securities.

 .    We record all telephone calls for your protection and take measures to
     identify the caller. As long as the Fund's transfer agent takes reasonable
     measures to authenticate telephone requests on an investor's account,
     neither the Fund, the Fund's distributor nor the transfer agent will be
     held responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions.

 .    We may redeem your account if its value falls below $250 as a result of
     redemptions (but not as a result of a decline in net asset value). You will
     be notified in writing and allowed 60 days to increase the value of your
     account to the minimum investment level.

 .    If you purchased shares directly from the Fund, the transfer agent will
     send you confirmations of the opening of an account and of all subsequent
     purchases, exchanges or redemptions in the account. If your account has
     been set up by a broker or other investment professional, account activity
     will be detailed in their statements to you.

                                       11

 .    [The exchange privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term
     trading. Excessive exchange activity may interfere with portfolio
     management and have an adverse effect on all shareholders. The Fund and its
     distributor reserve the right to refuse any purchase or exchange request
     that could adversely affect the fund or its operations, including those
     from any individual or group who, in the Fund's view, is likely to engage
     in excessive trading or any order considered market-timing activity. If the
     Fund refuses a purchase or exchange request and the shareholder deems it
     necessary to redeem their account, any CDSC as permitted by the prospectus
     will be applicable.

     Additionally, in no event will the Fund permit more than six exchanges into
     or out of a Fund in any one-year period per account, tax identification
     number, social security number or related investment group. The Munder
     Money Market Funds are exempt from this policy.]

Shareholder Privileges

Automatic Investment Plan (AIP). Under the AIP you may arrange for periodic
investments in the Fund through automatic deductions from a checking or savings
account. To enroll in the AIP you should complete the AIP application form or
call the Fund at (800) 438-5789. The minimum pre-authorized investment amount is
$50. You may discontinue the AIP at any time. We may discontinue the AIP on 30
days' written notice to you.

Reinvestment Privilege. For 60 days after you sell shares of the Fund, you may
reinvest your redemption proceeds in shares of the same class of the Fund at
NAV. Any CDSC you paid on the amount you are reinvesting will be credited to
your account. You may use this privilege once in any given twelve-month period
with respect to your shares of the Fund. You or your broker must notify the
Fund's transfer agent in writing at the time of reinvestment in order to
eliminate the sales charge on your reinvestment.

Automatic Withdrawal Plan (AWP). If you have an account value of $2,500 or more
in the Fund, you may redeem shares on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or
annual basis. The minimum withdrawal is $50. We usually process withdrawals on
the 20th day of the month and promptly send you your redemption amount. You may
enroll in the AWP by completing the AWP application form available through the
transfer agent. To participate in the AWP you must have your dividends
automatically reinvested and may not hold share certificates. You may change or
cancel the AWP at any time upon notice to the transfer agent. You should not buy

Distribution Arrangements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Share Class Selection

The Fund has registered Class A, Class B and Class C shares and currently offers
Class A and Class B shares. Each class has its own cost structure, allowing you
to choose the one that best meets your requirements given the amount of your
purchase and the intended length of your investment. You should consider both
ongoing annual expenses and initial sales charge or CDSC in estimating the costs
of investing in a particular class of shares.

Class A shares
 .    Front end sales charge. There are several ways to reduce these sale
     charges.
 .    Lower annual expenses than Class B and Class C shares.

Class B shares
 .    No front end sales charge.  All your money goes to work for you right away.
 .    Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.
 .    A CDSC on shares you sell within six years of purchase.
 .    Automatic conversion to Class A shares approximately six years after
     issuance, thus reducing future annual expenses.
 .    CDSC is waived for certain redemptions.

Class C shares
 .    No front end sales charge or CDSC, except for a CDSC for redemptions made
     within the first year after investing. All your money goes to work for you
     right away.
 .    Shares do not convert to another class.
 .    Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.

The Fund also issues other classes of shares, which have different sales
charges, expense levels and performance. The other classes of shares are
available to limited types of investors. Call (800) 438-5789 to obtain more
information about those classes.

Applicable Sales Charge- Class A Shares

You can purchase Class A shares at NAV plus an initial sales charge. The sales
charge as a percentage of your investment decreases as the amount you invests
increases. The current sales charge rates and commissions paid to selected
dealers as follows:

       arrangement with Merrill Lynch, and on the date the plan sponsor signs
       the Merrill Lynch Recordkeeping Service Agreement, the Plan has $3

Sales Charge Reductions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges in the following cases:

 .     Letter of Intent. If you intend to purchase at least [$500,000] of Class A
      shares of the Fund, you may wish to complete the Letter of Intent section
      of your account application form. By doing so, you agree to invest a
      certain amount over a 13-month period. You would pay a sales charge on any
      Class A shares you purchase

                                       14
<PAGE>

     during the 13 months based on the total amount to be invested under the
     Letter of Intent. You can apply any investments you made in any of the
     Munder Funds during the preceding 90-day period toward fulfillment of the
     Letter of Intent (although there will be no refund of sales charges you
     paid during the 90-day period). You should inform the Fund's transfer agent
     that you have a Letter of Intent each time you make an investment.

     You are not obligated to purchase the amount specified in the Letter of
     Intent. If you purchase less than the amount specified, however, you must
     pay the difference between the sales charge paid and the sales charge
     applicable to the purchases actually made. The custodian will hold such
     amount in escrow. The Fund's custodian will pay the escrowed funds to your
     account at the end of the 13 months unless you do not complete your
     intended investment.

 .    Quantity Discounts. You may combine purchases of Class A shares that are
     made by you, your spouse, your children under age 21 and your IRA when
     calculating the sales charge. You must notify your broker or the Fund's
     transfer agent to qualify.

 .    Right of Accumulation. You may add the value of any shares of non-money
     market Munder Funds you already own to the amount of your next Class A
     share investment for purposes of calculating the sales charge at the time
     of the current purchase. You must notify your broker or the Fund's transfer
     agent to qualify.

Certain brokers may not offer these programs or may impose conditions or fees to
use these programs. You should consult with your broker prior to purchasing the
Fund's shares.

For further information on sales charge reductions, call (800) 438-5789.

Cdsc

You pay a CDSC when you redeem:
 .    Class A shares that were bought as part of an investment of at least
     [$500,000] within one year of buying them;
 .    Class B shares within six years of buying them;
 .    Class C shares within one year of buying them.

These time periods include the time you held Class B or Class C shares of
another Munder Fund which you may have exchanged for Class B or Class C shares
of the Fund.

The CDSC schedule for Class B shares purchased after June 27, 1995 is set forth
below. Consult the Statement of Additional Information for the CDSC schedule for
Class B shares purchased, or acquired through an exchange of shares of another
Munder Fund purchased, on or before June 27, 1995. The CDSC is based on the
original NAV at the time of your investment or the NAV at the time of
redemption, whichever is lower.

Years Since Purchase                      CDSC
- --------------------                      ----
First.................................    3.00%
Second................................    2.50%
Third.................................    2.00%
Fourth................................    1.50%
Fifth.................................    1.00%
Sixth.................................    0.50%
Seventh and thereafter................    0.00%

At the time of sale of Class B shares, the distributor pays sales commissions of
[2.00%] of the purchase price, to brokers that initiate and are responsible for
purchases of such Class B shares.

You will not pay a CDSC to the extent that the value of the redeemed shares
represents:
     .    reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions; or
     .    capital appreciation of shares redeemed.

When you redeem shares, we will assume that you are redeeming first shares
representing reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, then any
appreciation on shares redeemed, and then remaining shares held by you for the
longest period of time. [We will calculate the holding period of Class B shares
of the Fund acquired through an exchange of Class B shares of the Munder Money
Market Fund (which are available only by exchange of Class B shares of a Munder
Fund) from the date that the Class B shares of the initial Munder Fund were
purchased.]

CDSC Waivers
We will waive the CDSC payable upon redemptions of shares of the Fund which you
purchased after June 27, 1995 (or acquired through an exchange of shares of
another Munder Fund purchased after June 27, 1995) for:
 .  redemptions made within one year after the death of a shareholder or
   registered joint owner;
 .  minimum required distributions made from an IRA or other retirement plan
   account after you reach age 70 1/2;

                                       15
<PAGE>

 .    involuntary redemptions made by the Fund;
 .    redemptions limited to 10% per year of an account's net asset value. For
     example, if you maintain an annual balance of $10,000 you can redeem up to
     $1,000 annually free of charge.

We will waive the CDSC payable upon redemptions of shares of the Fund which you
purchased after December 1, 1998 (or acquired through an exchange of shares of
another Munder Fund purchased after December 1, 1998) for:
 .    redemptions made from an IRA or other individual retirement plan account
     established through Comerica Securities, Inc. after you reach age 59 1/2
     and after the eighteen month anniversary of the purchase of Fund shares.

Consult the Statement of Additional Information for Class B CDSC waivers that
apply when you redeem shares of the Fund purchased on or before June 27, 1995 or
acquired through an exchange of shares of another Munder Fund purchased on or
before June 27, 1995.

We will waive the CDSC for Class B shares for all redemptions by Merrill Lynch
Plans if:

(i)    the Plan is recordkept on a daily valuation basis by Merrill Lynch; or
(ii)   the Plan is recordkept on a daily valuation basis by an independent
       recordkeeper whose services are provided through a contract or alliance
       arrangement with Merrill Lynch; or
(iii)  the Plan has less than 500 eligible employees, as determined by the
       Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager, on the date the plan sponsor signs
       the Merrill Lynch Recordkeeping Service Agreement.

12B-1 FEES

The Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 plans with respect to its Class A, Class B and
Class C shares that allow the Fund to pay distribution and other fees for the
sale of its shares and for services provided to shareholders. Under the plans,
the Fund may pay up to .25% of the daily net assets of Class A, Class B and
Class C shares to pay for certain shareholder services provided by institutions
that have agreements with the Fund's distributor to provide such services. The
Fund may also pay up to .75% of the daily net assets of the Class B and Class C
shares to finance activities relating to the distribution of its shares.

Because the fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over
time these fees will increase the cost of an investment in the Fund and may cost
a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.

OTHER INFORMATION

The advisor, or its affiliates, may, from time to time, make payments to banks,
broker-dealers or other financial institutions for certain services to the Fund
and/or its shareholders, including sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and
shareholder servicing. The advisor, or its affiliates, may make such payments
out of its own resources and there are no additional costs to the Fund or its
shareholders.

[Please note that Comerica Bank, an affiliate of the advisor receives a fee from
the Fund for providing shareholder services to its customers who own shares of
the Fund.]

PRICING OF FUND SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's NAV is calculated on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
NAV is the value of a single share of the Fund. NAV is calculated by (1) taking
the current value of the Fund's total assets allocated to a particular class of
shares, (2) subtracting the liabilities and expenses charged to that class (3)
dividing that amount by the total number of shares of that class outstanding.

The Fund calculates NAV as of the close of business on the New York Stock
Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. If the New York Stock Exchange closes
early, the Fund will accelerate its calculation of NAV and transaction deadlines
to that time.

NAV is generally based on the market value of the securities held by the Fund.
If market values are not available, the fair value of securities is determined
in good faith by, or using procedures approved by, the Board of Trustees of the
Fund.

DISTRIBUTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a shareholder, you are entitled to your share of the Fund's net income and
gains on its investments. The Fund passes substantially all of its earnings
along to its shareholders as distributions. When the Fund earns dividends from
stocks and interest from debt securities and distributes these earnings to
shareholders, it is called a dividend distribution. The Fund realizes capital
gains when it sells securities for a higher price than it paid. When these gains
are distributed to shareholders, it is called a capital gain distribution.

The Fund pays dividends, if any, quarterly.

The Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

It is possible that the Fund may make a distribution in excess of the Fund's
earnings and profits. You will treat such a distribution as a return of capital
which is applied against and reduces your basis in your shares. You will treat
the excess of any such distribution over your basis in your shares as gain from
a sale or exchange of shares.

The Fund will pay distributions in additional shares of the Fund. If you wish to
receive distributions in cash, either, indicate this request on your account
application form or notify the Fund by calling (800) 438-5789.

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investments in the Fund will have tax consequences that you should consider.
This section briefly describes some of the more common federal tax consequences.
A more detailed discussion about the tax treatment of distributions from the
Fund and about other potential tax liabilities, including backup withholding for
certain tax payers and about tax aspects of dispositions of shares of the Fund,
is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. You should consult your
tax adviser about your own particular tax situation.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS

You will generally have to pay federal income tax on all Fund distributions.
Distributions will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive the
distributions in cash or in additional shares of the Fund. Shareholders not
subject to tax on their income generally will not be required to pay any tax on
distributions.

Distributions that are derived from net long-term capital gains generally will
be taxed as long-term capital gains. Dividend distributions and short-term
capital gains generally will be taxed as ordinary income. The tax you pay on a
given capital gains distribution generally depends on how long the Fund held the
portfolio securities it sold. It does not depend on how long you held the Fund
shares.

Distributions are generally taxable to you in the tax year in which they are
paid, with one exception: distributions disclosed in October, November or
December, but not paid until January of the following year, are taxed as though
they were paid on December 31 in the year in which they were declared.

Shareholders generally are required to report all Fund distributions on their
federal income tax returns. Each year the Fund will send you information
detailing the amount of ordinary income and capital gains paid to you for the
previous year.


TAXES ON SALES OR EXCHANGES

If you sell shares of the Fund or exchange them for shares of another Munder
Fund, you generally will be subject to tax on any taxable gain. Taxable gain is
computed by subtracting your tax basis in the shares from the redemption
proceeds (in the case of a sale) or the value of the shares received (in the
case of an exchange). Because your tax basis depends on the original purchase
price and on the price at which any dividends may have been reinvested, you
should be sure to keep account statements so that you or your tax preparer will
be able to determine whether a sale or an exchange will result in a taxable
gain.


OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

If you buy shares of the Fund just before the Fund makes any distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and then receive back a portion of the
money you have just invested in the form of a taxable distribution.

If you have not provided complete, correct taxpayer information by law, the Fund
must withhold a portion of your distributions and redemption proceeds to pay
federal income taxes.

MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENT ADVISOR

The Fund's investment advisor is World Asset Management, L.L.C., 255 East Brown
Street, Birmingham, Michigan, 48009. The advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Munder Capital Management. As of September 30, 1999, the advisor [and its
affiliates had approximately $__ billion in assets under management, of which
$__ billion were invested in equity securities, $__ billion were invested in
money market or other short-term instruments, $__ billion were invested in other
fixed income securities, and $__ billion in non-discretionary assets.]

The advisor provides overall investment management for the Fund and is
responsible for all purchases and sales of portfolio securities.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Fund paid an advisory fee equal
to .07% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (after fee waivers). Because
a portion of the advisory fee was voluntarily waived, such payments were less
than the contractual advisory fee of .20% of the first $250 million of the
Fund's average daily net assets, .12% of the next $250 million of the Fund's
average daily net assets and .07% of the Fund's average daily net assets over
$500 million, on an annual basis. The voluntary waiver has been terminated for
the current fiscal year.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

Todd B. Johnson and Kenneth A. Schluchter III jointly manage the Fund. Mr.
Johnson, a Chief Investment Officer of the advisor, has been the portfolio
manager of the Fund since July 1992. Mr. Schluchter, who has managed the Fund
since June 1997, was previously a Systems Developer and Data Analyst for
Compuware Incorporated (1993-1995).

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The financial highlights table is intended to help shareholders understand the
financial performance of each class of shares of the Fund for the past 5 years
(or, if shorter, the period of the class's operations). Certain information
reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the
table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an
investment in a particular class of the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions). Because Class C shares of the Fund were not
offered during the periods shown, financial highlights are not presented for
that class. The information has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent
accountants, whose report along with the Fund's financial statements, are
included in the Fund's annual report, and are incorporated by reference into the
Statement of Additional Information. You may obtain the annual report without
charge by calling (800) 438-5789.

Risk/Return Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Risk/Return Summary briefly describes the goal and principal investment
strategy of the Munder Index 500 Fund and the principal risks of investing in
the Fund. For further information on the Fund's principal and other investment
strategies and risks, please read the section entitled "More About The Fund".

Goal

The Fund's goal is to provide performance and income that is comparable to the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500). The S&P 500 is an
index of 500 stocks which emphasizes large capitalization companies.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Fund pursues its goal by normally holding the securities of at least 400 of
the stocks in the S&P 500.

The Fund is managed through the use of a "quantitative" investment approach and
tries to mirror the composition and performance of the S&P 500 through
statistical procedures. As a result, the advisor does not use traditional
methods of fund investment management, i.e., it does not select stocks on the
basis of economic, financial and market analysis.

The Fund will try to achieve a correlation between the performance of its
portfolio and that of the S&P 500 of at least .95. A correlation of 1.0 would
mean that the changes in the Fund's price mirror exactly the changes in the S&P
500.

The Fund may also enter into futures contracts.

Principal Risks

All investments carry some degree of risk which will affect the value of the
Fund's portfolio investments, its investment performance and the price of its
shares. As a result, you may lose money if you invest in the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

 .  Stock Market Risk.  The value of the securities in which the Fund invests may
   decline in response to general economic conditions. Price changes may be
   temporary or last for extended periods. For example, stock prices have
   historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. In addition, the value of
   the Fund's investments may decline if particular companies the Fund invests
   in do not perform well.

 .  Tracking Risk.  Because the Fund pays fees and transaction costs, while the
   S&P 500 does not, the Fund's returns are likely to be lower than those of the
   S&P 500. Tracking variance may also result from share purchases, redemptions
   and other factors.

 .  Indexing Strategy Risk.  The Fund will invest in the securities included in
   the S&P 500 regardless of market trends. As a result, the Fund cannot modify
   its investment strategy to respond to changes in the economy, which means it
   may be particularly susceptible to a general decline in the large
   capitalization portion of the U.S. stock market.

 .  Derivatives Risk.  The Fund may suffer a loss from its use of futures
   contracts, which are forms of derivatives. The primary risk with many
   derivatives is that they can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or
   losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative
   instrument.

                                       2

<PAGE>

Who May Want To Invest

The Fund may be appropriate for investors:

 .  Looking to invest over the long term and willing to ride out market swings.

 .  Willing to accept greater risks than those associated with fixed income
   investments.

 .  Looking to invest in a diversified stock portfolio focused on large
   capitalization companies.

The Fund alone cannot provide a balanced investment program.

                                       3

the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes
that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating
expenses remain the same as shown in the table and that all dividends and
distributions are reinvested. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would be:

More About The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's principal investment strategy and risks are summarized above in the
section entitled "Risk/Return Summary". A more complete description of the
Fund's investments and strategies and their associated risks is provided below.
The Fund may also invest in other securities and is subject to further
restrictions and risks which are described in the Statement of Additional
Information.

Equity Securities. The Fund invests in equity securities which include common
stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stocks.

Foreign Securities. Foreign securities include direct investments in non-U.S.
dollar-denominated securities traded outside of the United States and dollar-
denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the United States. Foreign
securities also include indirect investments such as American Depository
Receipts ("ADRs") which are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts representing shares
of foreign-based corporations. ADRs are issued by U.S. banks or trust companies,
and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on
the underlying foreign shares.

     Investment Strategy. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in
     foreign securities.

     Special Risks. Foreign securities involve special risks and costs.
     Investment in foreign securities may involve higher costs than investment
     in U.S. securities, including higher transaction and custody costs as well
     as the imposition of additional taxes by foreign governments. Foreign
     investments may also involve risks associated with the level of currency
     exchange rates, less complete financial information about the issuers, less
     market liquidity, more market volatility and political instability. Future
     political and economic developments, the possible imposition of withholding
     taxes on dividend income, the possible seizure or nationalization of
     foreign holdings, the possible establishment of exchange controls or
     freezes on the convertibility of currency, or the adoption of other
     governmental restrictions might adversely affect an investment in foreign
     securities. Additionally, foreign issuers may be subject to less stringent
     regulation, and to different accounting, auditing and recordkeeping
     requirements.

     Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of
     time causing the Fund's net asset value to fluctuate as well. A decline in
     the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the
     value of a foreign currency-denominated security. To the extent that the
     Fund is invested in foreign securities while also maintaining currency
     positions, it may be exposed to greater combined risk. The Fund's
     respective net currency positions may expose it to risks independent of its
     securities positions.

A further risk of investing in foreign securities is the risk that the Fund may
be adversely affected by the conversion of certain European currencies into the
Euro. This conversion, which is under way, is scheduled to be completed in the
year 2002. However, problems with the conversion process and delays could
increase volatility in world capital markets and affect European capital markets
in particular.

Derivatives. Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on a
security, a currency exchange or interest rate or a market index. Many types of
instruments representing a wide range of potential risks and rewards are
derivatives, including futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
options.

     Investment Strategy. Derivatives can be used for hedging (attempting to
     reduce risk by offsetting one investment position with another) or
     speculation (taking a position in the hope of increasing return). The Fund
     may, but is not required to, use derivatives for hedging purposes or for
     the purpose of remaining fully invested or maintaining liquidity. The Fund
     will not use derivatives for speculative purposes.

     Special Risks. The use of derivative instruments exposes the Fund to
     additional risks and transaction costs. Risks of derivative instruments
     include: (1) the risk that interest rates, securities prices and currency
     markets will not move in the direction that a portfolio manager

                                       6
<PAGE>

     anticipates; (2) imperfect correlation between the price of derivative
     instruments and movements in the prices of the securities, interest rates
     or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact that skills needed to use these
     strategies are different than those needed to select portfolio securities;
     (4) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular
     instrument and possible exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either
     of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when
     desired; (5) the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can
     result in a loss substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment
     in that instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); (6)
     particularly in the case of privately-negotiated instruments, the risk that
     the counterparty will not perform its obligations, which could leave the
     Fund worse off than if it had not entered into the position; and (7) the
     inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid adverse tax
     consequences.

Futures Contracts and Related Options. A futures contract is a type of
derivative instrument that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset in the
future at an agreed upon price. When the Fund purchases an option on a futures
contract, it has the right to assume a position as a purchaser or seller of a
futures contract at a specified exercise price during the option period. When
the Fund sells an option on a futures contract, it becomes obligated to purchase
or sell a futures contract if the option is exercised.

     Investment Strategy. The Fund may invest in futures contracts and options
     on futures contracts on domestic or foreign exchanges or boards of trade.
     These instruments may be used for hedging purposes, to maintain liquidity
     to meet potential shareholder redemptions, to invest cash balances or
     dividends, or to minimize trading costs.

     The Fund will not purchase or sell a futures contract unless, after the
     transaction, the sum of the aggregate amount of margin deposits on its
     existing futures positions and the amount of premiums paid for related
     options used for non-hedging purposes is 5% or less of the Fund's total
     assets.

     Special Risks. Futures contracts and related options present the following
     risks: imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the
     Fund's securities and the price of futures contracts and options; the
     possible inability to close a futures contract when desired; losses due to
     unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; and the
     possible inability of the advisor to correctly predict the direction of
     securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other
     economic factors.

Securities Lending. In order to generate additional income, the Fund may lend
securities on a short-term basis to qualified institutions. By reinvesting any
cash collateral it receives in these transactions, the Fund could realize
additional income gains or losses.

     Investment Strategy. Securities lending may represent no more than 25% of
     the value of the Fund's total assets (including the loan collateral).

     Special Risks.  The main risk when lending Fund securities is that if the
     borrower fails to return the securities or the invested collateral has
     declined in value, the Fund could lose money.

Borrowing and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can borrow money from
banks and enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and other
financial institutions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of
securities held by the Fund subject to the Fund's agreement to repurchase them
at a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest).

     Investment Strategy. The Fund may borrow money in an amount up to 5% of its
     assets for temporary emergency purposes and in an amount up to 33 1/3% of
     its assets to meet redemptions. This is a fundamental policy which can be
     changed only by shareholders.

     Special Risks. Borrowings and reverse repurchase agreements by the Fund may
     involve leveraging. If the securities held by the Fund decline in value
     while these transactions are outstanding, the Fund's net asset value will
     decline in value by proportionately more than the decline in value of the
     securities. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements involve the risks
     that the interest income earned by the Fund

                                       7
<PAGE>

     (from the investment of the proceeds) will be less than the interest
     expense of the transaction, that the market value of the securities sold by
     the Fund will decline below the price the Fund is obligated to pay to
     repurchase the securities, and that the securities may not be returned to
     the Fund.

Year 2000 Risk. Like other mutual funds, financial institutions, business
organizations and individuals around the world, the Fund could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by the advisor and the Fund's other
service providers do not properly process and calculate date-related information
and data from and after January 1, 2000. The advisor is taking steps that it
believes are reasonably designed to address year 2000 computer-related problems
with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain assurances that
comparable steps are being taken by the Fund's other major service providers.
Although there can be no assurances, the advisor believes that these steps will
be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on the Fund. Similarly, there can be
no assurance that year 2000 issues will not affect the companies and other
issuers in which the Fund invests or affect worldwide markets and economies.

Disclaimers. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by S&P, nor
does S&P guarantee the accuracy and/or completeness of the S&P 500(R) Index or
any data included therein. S&P makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the
results to be obtained by the Fund, owners of the Fund, any person or any entity
from the use of the S&P 500(R) Index or any data included therein. S&P makes no
express or implied warranties and expressly disclaims all such warranties of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose for use with respect to the
S&P(R) Index or any data included therein.

Exchanging Shares

Policies for Exchanging Shares

 .  You may exchange your Fund shares for Class Y shares of other Munder Funds
   based on their relative net asset values.

 .  You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the Munder Fund that you
   purchase by exchange.

 .  A share exchange is a taxable event and, accordingly, you may realize a
   taxable gain or loss.

 .  Before making an exchange request, read the prospectus of the Munder Fund you
   wish to purchase by exchange. You can obtain a prospectus for any Munder Fund
   by contacting your broker or the Munder Funds at (800) 438-5789.

 .  Brokers may charge you a fee for handling exchanges.

 .  We may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. You will be
   given notice of any material modifications except where notice is not
   required.

[Method for Exchanging Shares?]

Redeeming Shares

Redemption Price

We will redeem shares at the NAV next determined after we receive the redemption
request in proper form.

Methods for Redeeming Shares

 .  Redemption requests are effected at the NAV next determined after the
   transfer agent receives the order in proper form.

 .  [You may redeem shares of the Fund through your [broker-dealer] or financial
   institution.]

[other methods]

Policies for Redeeming Shares

 .  Shares held by an institution on behalf of its customers must be redeemed in
   accordance with instructions and limitations pertaining to the account at
   that institution.

 .  If we receive a redemption order for the Fund before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern
   time), we will normally wire payment to the redeeming institution on the next
   business day.

Additional Policies For Purchases, Exchanges and Redemptions

     .  We consider requests to be in "proper form" when all required documents
        are properly completed, signed and received.

     .  The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order.

     .  At any time, the Fund may change any of its purchase, redemption or
        exchange practices, and may suspend the sale of its shares.

     .  The Fund may delay sending redemption proceeds for up to seven days, or
        longer if permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     .  To limit the Funds expenses, we do not currently issue share
        certificates.

     .  We will typically send redemption amounts to you within seven business
        days after you redeem shares. We may hold redemption amounts from the
        sale of shares you purchased by check until the purchase check

                                      10
<PAGE>

        has cleared, which may be as long as 15 days.

     .  The Fund may temporarily stop redeeming shares if:

        .  the New York Stock Exchange is closed;

        .  trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

        .  an emergency exists and the Fund cannot sell its assets or accurately
           determine the value of its assets; or

        .  the Securities and Exchange Commission orders the Fund to suspend
           redemptions.

     .  If accepted by the Fund, investors may purchase shares of the Fund with
        securities which the Fund may hold. The advisor will determine if the
        securities are consistent with the Fund's objectives and policies. If
        accepted, the securities will be valued the same way the Fund values
        portfolio securities it already owns. Call the Fund at (800) 438-5789
        for more information.

     .  The Fund reserves the right to make payment for redeemed shares wholly
        or in part by giving the redeeming shareholder portfolio securities. The
        shareholder may pay transaction costs to dispose of these securities.

     .  We record all telephone calls for your protection and take measures to
        identify the caller. As long as the Fund's transfer agent takes
        reasonable measures to authenticate telephone requests on an investor's
        account, neither the Fund, the Fund's distributor nor the transfer agent
        will be held responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized
        transactions.

     .  We may redeem your account if its value falls below $250 as a result of
        redemptions (but not as a result of a decline in net asset value). You
        will be notified in writing and allowed 60 days to increase the value of
        your account to the minimum investment level.

     .  If you purchased shares directly through the Fund's transfer agent, the
        transfer agent will send you confirmations of the opening of an account
        and of all subsequent purchases, exchanges or redemptions in the
        account. Confirmations of transactions effected through an institution
        will be sent to the institution.

     .  Financial institutions are responsible for transmitting orders and
        payments for their customers on a timely basis.

Pricing Of Fund Shares
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's NAV is calculated on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
NAV is the value of a single share of the Fund. NAV for Class Y shares is
calculated by (1) taking the current value of the Fund's total assets allocated
to that class of shares, (2) subtracting the liabilities and expenses charged to
that class (3) dividing that amount by the total number of shares of that class
outstanding.

The Fund calculates NAV as of the close of business on the New York Stock
Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. If the New York Stock Exchange closes
early, the Fund will accelerate its calculation of NAV and transaction deadlines
to that time.

NAV is generally based on the market value of the securities held by the Fund.
If market values are not available, the fair value of securities is determined
in good faith by, or using procedures approved by, the Board of Trustees of the
Fund.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times that vary from the
closing of the New York Stock Exchange. The Fund values foreign securities at
the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately
prior to the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Certain foreign currency
exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of
the New York Stock Exchange. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Occasionally, events that affect
these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are
determined and the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. If the advisor
believes that such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities,
these securities may be valued at their fair market value as determined in good
faith by, or using procedures approved by, the Fund's Board of Trustees.

Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days
when the Fund does not price its shares. Therefore, the value of the Fund's
portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to buy or sell
their shares.

Distributions
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a shareholder, you are entitled to your share of the Fund's net income and
gains on its investments. The Fund passes substantially all of its earnings
along to its shareholders as distributions. When the Fund earns dividends from
stocks and interest from debt securities and distributes these earnings to
shareholders, it is called a dividend distribution. The Fund realizes capital
gains when it sells securities for a higher price than it paid. When these gains
are distributed to shareholders, it is called a capital gain distribution.

The Fund pays dividends, if any, quarterly.

The Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

The Fund will pay distributions in additional shares of the Fund. If you wish to
receive distributions in cash, either indicate this request on your account
application form or notify the Fund by calling (800) 438-5789.

Federal Tax Considerations
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investments in the Fund will have tax consequences that you should consider.
This section briefly describes some of the more common federal tax consequences.
A more detailed discussion about the tax treatment of distributions from the
Fund and other potential tax liabilities, including backup withholding for
certain shareholders and about tax aspects of dispositions of shares of the Fund
is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. You should consult your
tax adviser about your own particular tax situation.

Taxes On Distributions

You will generally have to pay federal income tax on all Fund distributions.
Distributions will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive the
distributions in cash or in additional shares of the Fund. Shareholders not
subject to tax on their income, generally will not be required to pay any tax
on distributions.

Distributions that are derived from net long-term capital gains generally will
be taxed as long-term capital gains. Dividend distributions and short-term
capital gains generally will be taxed as ordinary income. The tax you pay on a
given capital gains distribution generally depends on how long the Fund held
the portfolio securities it sold. It does not depend on how long you held the
Fund shares.

Distributions are generally taxable to you in the tax year in which they are
paid, with one exception: distributions declared in October, November, or
December, but not paid until January of the next following year, are taxed as
though they were paid on December 31 in the year in which they are paid.

Shareholders generally are required to report all Fund distributions on their
federal income tax returns. Each year the Fund will send you information
detailing the amount of ordinary income and capital gains paid to you for the
previous year.

Taxes On Sales Or Exchanges

If you sell shares of the Fund or exchange them for shares of another Fund, you
generally will be subject to tax on any taxable gain. Your taxable gain is
computed by subtracting your tax basis in the shares from the redemption
proceeds (in the case of a sale) or the value of the shares received (in the
case of an exchange). Because your tax basis depends on the original purchase
price and on the price at which any dividends may have been reinvested, you
should be sure to keep account statements so that you or your tax preparer will
be able to determine whether a sale or an exchange will result in a taxable
gain.

Other Considerations

If you buy shares of the Fund just before the Fund makes any distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and then receive back a portion of the
money you have just invested in the form of a taxable distribution.

If you have not provided complete, correct taxpayer information by law, the Fund
must withhold a portion of your distributions and redemption proceeds to pay
federal income taxes.

Management
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment Advisor

The Fund's investment advisor is World Asset Management, L.L.C., 255 East Brown
Street, Birmingham, Michigan, 48009. The advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Munder Capital Management. As of September 30, 1999, the advisor [and its
affiliates had approximately $__ billion in assets under management, of which
$__ billion were invested in equity securities, $__ billion were invested in
money market or other short-term instruments, $__ billion were invested in other
fixed income securities, and $__ billion in non-discretionary assets.]

The advisor provides overall investment management for the Fund and is
responsible for all purchases and sales of portfolio securities.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Fund paid an advisory fee equal
to .07% of the average daily net assets of the Fund ( after fee waivers).
Because a portion of the advisory fee was voluntarily waived, such payments were
less than the contractual advisory fee of .20% of the first $250 million of the
Fund's average daily net assets, .12% of the next $250 million of the Fund's
average daily net assets and .07% of the Fund's average daily net assets over
$500 million, on an annual basis. The voluntary waiver has been terminated for
the current fiscal year.

Portfolio Managers

Todd B. Johnson and Kenneth A. Schluchter III jointly manage the Fund.
Mr. Johnson, a Chief Investment Officer of the advisor, has been the portfolio
manager of the Fund since July 1992. Mr. Schluchter, who has managed the Fund
since June 1997, was previously a Systems Developer and Data Analyst for
Compuware Incorporated (1993-1995).

     Capitalized terms used in this SAI and not otherwise defined have the same
meanings as are given to them in each Prospectus.

                                FUND INVESTMENTS

     The following supplements the information contained in each Prospectus
concerning the investment objectives and policies of the Funds. With the
exception of the investment objectives of Multi-Season Fund, Real Estate Fund
and Money Market Fund, each Fund's investment objective is a non-fundamental
policy and may be changed without the authorization of the holders of a majority
of the Fund's outstanding shares. The Tax-Free Bond Fund and Tax-Free Money
Market Fund each have a fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its
respective assets in municipal obligations bearing tax-exempt interest; all
other investment policies, other than those specifically designated as
fundamental, are non-fundamental policies and may be changed without the
authorization of the holders of a majority of a Fund's outstanding shares. There
can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its objective.

     A description of applicable credit ratings is set forth in Appendix A to
this SAI.

     For purposes of this SAI, the Equity Selection Fund, Global Financial
Services Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, Index 500 Fund,
International Equity Fund, Micro-Cap Fund, Multi-Season Fund, NetNet Fund, Real
Estate Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund, Small Company Growth Fund, Value Fund,
International Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Fund and Healthcare Fund are
referred to as the "Equity Funds"; the Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund and
U.S. Income Fund are referred to as the "Bond Funds"; the Michigan Bond Fund,
Tax-Free Bond Fund and Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund are referred to as
the "Tax-Free Bond Funds" and Cash Investment Fund, Money Market Fund, Tax-Free
Money Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund are referred to as the "Money
Market Funds."

     Borrowing.  Each of the Funds is authorized to borrow money in amounts up
to 5% of the value of its total assets at the time of such borrowings for
temporary purposes, and are authorized to borrow money in excess of the 5% limit
as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"),
to meet redemption requests. This borrowing may be unsecured. The 1940 Act
requires the Funds to maintain continuous asset coverage of 300% of the amount
borrowed. If the 300% asset coverage should decline as a result of market
fluctuations or other reasons, the Funds may be required to sell some of their
portfolio holdings within three days to reduce the debt and restore the 300%
asset coverage, even though it may be disadvantageous from an investment
standpoint to sell securities at that time. Borrowed funds are subject to
interest costs that may or may not be offset by amounts earned on the borrowed
funds. A Fund may also be required to maintain minimum average balances in
connection with such borrowing or to pay a commitment or other fees to maintain
a line of credit; either of these

                                       4
<PAGE>

requirements would increase the cost of borrowing over the stated interest rate.
Each Fund may, in connection with permissible borrowings, transfer as collateral
securities owned by the Fund.

     Foreign Securities.  Each Equity Fund (except Global Financial Services
Fund, Real Estate Fund, International Equity Fund, International Growth Fund,
Emerging Markets Fund and Healthcare Fund), each Bond Fund, each Tax-Free Bond
Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Cash Investment Fund and the Money Market Fund may
invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities. Under normal market
conditions, the International Equity Fund, International Bond Fund and
International Growth Fund will each invest at least 65% of its assets in
securities of issuers located in at least three countries other than the United
States. The Global Financial Services Fund will invest at least 65% of its
assets in securities of issuers located in at least three countries, one of
which may be the United States. The Emerging Markets Fund will invest at least
65% of its assets in emerging market countries. There is no limit on the
Healthcare Fund's investments in foreign securities. The Multi-Season Fund and
NetNet Fund typically will only purchase foreign securities which are
represented by American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") listed on a domestic
securities exchange or included in the NASDAQ National Market System, or foreign
securities listed directly on a domestic securities exchange or included in the
NASDAQ National Market System. ADRs are receipts typically issued by a United
States bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying foreign
securities. Certain institutions issuing ADRs may not be sponsored by the
issuer. A non-sponsored depositary may not provide the same shareholder
information that a sponsored depositary is required to provide under its
contractual arrangements with the issuer.

     The International Bond Fund will primarily invest in foreign debt
obligations denominated in foreign currencies, including the European Currency
Unit ("ECU"), which are issued by foreign governments and governmental agencies,
instrumentalities or political subdivisions; debt securities issued or
guaranteed by supranational organizations (as defined below); corporate debt
securities; bank or bank holding company debt securities and other debt
securities including those convertible into foreign stock. Certain European
currencies are being converted into the Euro. This conversion, which is under
way, is scheduled to be completed in the year 2002. However, problems with the
conversion process and delays could increase volatility in world markets and
affect European Markets in particular. For the purposes of the 65% minimum with
respect to the International Bond Fund's designation as an international bond
fund, the securities described in this paragraph are considered "international
bonds."

     Income and gains on foreign securities may be subject to foreign
withholding taxes. Investors should consider carefully the substantial risks
involved in securities of companies and governments of foreign nations, which
are in addition to the usual risks inherent in domestic investments. There may
be less publicly available information about foreign companies comparable to the
reports and ratings published about companies in the United States. Foreign
companies are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards, and auditing practices and requirements may not
be comparable to those applicable to United States companies. Foreign markets
have substantially less trading volume than the New York Stock Exchange and
securities of some foreign companies are less liquid and more volatile than
securities of comparable United States companies. [Commission rates in foreign
countries, which are generally fixed rather than subject to negotiation as in
the United States, are likely to be higher.] In many foreign countries there is
less government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers, and
listed companies than in the United States. Such concerns are particularly
heightened for emerging markets and Eastern European countries.

     Investments in companies domiciled in developing countries may be subject
to potentially higher risks than investments in developed countries. These risks
include (i) less social, political and economic stability; (ii) the small
current size of the markets for such securities and the currently low or
nonexistent volume of trading, which result in a lack of liquidity and in
greater price volatility; (iii) certain national policies which may restrict a
Fund's investment opportunities, including restrictions on investment in issuers
or industries deemed sensitive to national interest; (iv) foreign taxation; (v)
the absence of developed legal structures governing private or foreign
investment or allowing for judicial redress for injury to private property; (vi)
the absence, until recently in certain Eastern European countries, of a capital
market structure or market-oriented economy; and (vii) the possibility that
recent favorable economic developments in Eastern Europe may be slowed or
reversed by unanticipated political or social events in such countries.

     Investments in Eastern European countries may involve risks of
nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory taxation.  The Communist
governments of a number of Eastern European countries expropriated large

                                       5
<PAGE>


amounts of private property in the past, in many cases without adequate
compensation, and there can be no assurance that such expropriation will not
occur in the future. In the event of such expropriation, the Fund could lose a
substantial portion of any investments it has made in the affected countries.
Further, no accounting standards exist in Eastern European countries. Finally,
even though certain Eastern European currencies may be convertible into United
States dollars, the conversion rates may be artificial rather than their actual
market values and they may be adverse to a Fund.

     The Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor endeavors to buy and sell foreign
currencies on as favorable a basis as practicable. Some price spread on currency
exchange (to cover service charges) may be incurred, particularly when the Fund
changes investments from one country to another or when proceeds of the sale of
Fund shares in U.S. dollars are used for the purchase of securities in foreign
countries. Also, some countries may adopt policies which would prevent the Fund
from transferring cash out of the country or withhold portions of interest and
dividends at the source. There is the possibility of expropriation,
nationalization or confiscatory taxation, withholding and other foreign taxes on
income or other amounts, foreign exchange controls (which may include suspension
of the ability to transfer currency from a given country), default in foreign
government securities, political or social instability or diplomatic
developments that could affect investments in securities of issuers in foreign
nations.

     Foreign securities markets have different clearance and settlement
procedures, and in certain markets there have been times when settlements have
been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions, making it
difficult to conduct such transactions. Delays in settlement could result in
temporary periods when assets of a Fund are uninvested and no return is earned
thereon. The inability of a Fund to make intended security purchases due to
settlement problems could cause the Fund to miss attractive investment
opportunities. Inability to dispose of portfolio securities due to settlement
problems could result either in losses to a Fund due to subsequent declines in
value of the portfolio security or, if the fund has entered into a contract to
sell the security, could result in possible liability to the purchaser.

     A Fund may be affected either unfavorably or favorably by fluctuations in
the relative rates of exchange between the currencies of different nations, by
exchange control regulations and by indigenous economic and political
developments. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will influence values
within a Fund from the perspective of U.S. investors, and may also affect the
value of dividends and interest earned, gains and losses realized on the sale of
securities, and net investment income and gains, if any, to be distributed to
shareholders by a Fund. The rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and other
currencies is determined by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign
exchange markets. These forces are affected by the international balance of
payments and other economic and financial conditions, government intervention,
speculation and other factors. The Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor, will
attempt to avoid unfavorable consequences and to take advantage of favorable
developments in particular nations where, from time to time, it places a Fund's
investments.

     The exercise of this flexible policy may include decisions to purchase
securities with substantial risk characteristics and other decisions such as
changing the emphasis on investments from one nation to another and from one
type of security to another. Some of these decisions may later prove profitable
and others may not. No assurance can be given that profits, if any, will exceed
losses.

     Forward Currency Transactions. In order to protect against a possible loss
on investments resulting from a decline or appreciation in the value of a
particular foreign currency against the U.S. dollar or another foreign currency,
the Equity Funds (excluding the Real Estate Fund), the Balanced Fund, the Bond
Funds and the International Bond Fund are authorized to enter into forward
currency exchange contracts ("forward currency contracts"). These contracts
involve an obligation to purchase or sell a specified currency at a future date
at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward currency contracts do not
eliminate fluctuations in the values of portfolio securities but rather allow a
Fund to establish a rate of currency exchange for a future point in time.

     When entering into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security, a
Fund may enter into a forward currency contract for the amount of the purchase
or sale price to protect against variations, between the date the

                                       6
<PAGE>

security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received,
in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar or other
foreign currency.

     When the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor anticipates that a particular
foreign currency may decline substantially relative to the U.S. dollar or other
leading currencies, in order to reduce risk, a Fund may enter into a forward
contract to sell, for a fixed amount, the amount of foreign currency
approximating the value of some or all of the Fund's securities denominated in
such foreign currency. Similarly, when the obligations held by a Fund create a
short position in a foreign currency, the Fund may enter into a forward contract
to buy, for a fixed amount, an amount of foreign currency approximating the
short position. With respect to any forward currency contract, it will not
generally be possible to match precisely the amount covered by that contract and
the value of the securities involved due to the changes in the values of such
securities resulting from market movements between the date the forward contract
is entered into and the date it matures. In addition, while forward contracts
may offer protection from losses resulting from declines or appreciation in the
value of a particular foreign currency, they also limit potential gains which
might result from changes in the value of such currency. A Fund will also incur
costs in connection with forward currency contracts and conversions of foreign
currencies and U.S. dollars.

     Cash or liquid securities equal to the amount of a Fund's assets that could
be required to consummate forward contracts will be designated on the records of
the Funds' custodian except to the extent the contracts are otherwise "covered."
For the purpose of determining the adequacy of the designated securities, the
designated securities will be valued at market or fair value. If the market or
fair value of such securities declines, additional cash or securities will be
designated daily so that the value of the designated securities will equal the
amount of such commitments by the Fund. A forward contract to sell a foreign
currency is "covered" if a Fund owns the currency (or securities denominated in
the currency) underlying the contract, or holds a forward contract (or call
option) permitting the Fund to buy the same currency at a price no higher than
the Fund's price to sell the currency. A forward contract to buy a foreign
currency is "covered" if a Fund holds a forward contract (or put option)
permitting the Fund to sell the same currency at a price as high as or higher
than the Fund's price to buy the currency.

     Futures Contracts And Related Options.  The Equity Funds, the Balanced
Fund, the Bond Funds, the Tax-Free Bond Funds and the International Bond Fund
may purchase and sell futures contracts on interest-bearing securities or
securities indices, and may purchase and sell call and put options on futures
contracts. For a detailed description of futures contracts and related options,
see Appendix B to this SAI.

     Illiquid Securities.  The Equity Funds, Balanced Fund, Tax-Free Bond Funds,
International Bond Fund and the Bond Funds may invest up to 15%, and each of the
Money Market Funds may invest up to 10%, of the value of its net assets
(determined at time of acquisition) in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid
securities would generally include securities for which there is a limited
trading market, repurchase agreements and time deposits with notice/termination
dates in excess of seven days, and certain securities that are subject to
trading restrictions because they are not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"). If, after the time of acquisition, events cause
this limit to be exceeded, the Fund will take steps to reduce the aggregate
amount of illiquid securities as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance
with the policies of the SEC.

     Each Fund (except U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and Short Term Treasury
Fund) may invest in commercial obligations issued in reliance on the "private
placement" exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act
("Section 4(2) paper"). A Fund may also purchase securities that are not
registered under the Act, but which can be sold to qualified institutional
buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Act, ("Rule 144A securities").
Section 4(2) paper is restricted as to disposition under the Federal securities
laws, and generally is sold to institutional investors who agree that they are
purchasing the paper for investment and not with a view to public distribution.
Any resale by the purchaser must be in an exempt transaction. Section 4(2) paper
normally is resold to other institutional investors through or with the
assistance of the issuer or investment dealers which make a market in the
Section 4(2) paper, thus providing liquidity. Rule 144A securities generally
must be sold only to other qualified institutional buyers. If a particular
investment in Section 4(2) paper or Rule 144A securities is not determined to be
liquid, that investment will be included within the Fund's limitation on
investment in illiquid securities. The Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor will
determine the liquidity of such investments pursuant to guidelines established
by the Boards of Directors/Trustees. It is possible that unregistered securities
purchased by

                                       7
<PAGE>

the Fund in reliance upon Rule 144A could have the effect of increasing the
level of the Fund's illiquidity to the extent that qualified institutional
buyers become, for a period, uninterested in purchasing these securities.

     Interest Rate Swap Transactions.  Each of the Bond Funds and the
International Bond Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements for
purposes of attempting to obtain a particular desired return at a lower cost to
the Funds than if the Funds had invested directly in an instrument that yielded
that desired return. Interest rate swap transactions involve the exchange by a
Fund with another party of its commitments to pay or receive interest, such as
an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments. Typically, the
parties with which the Funds will enter into interest rate swap transactions
will be brokers, dealers or other financial institutions known as
"counterparties." Certain Federal income tax requirements may, however, limit
the Funds' ability to engage in certain interest rate transactions. Gains from
transaction in interest rate swaps distributed to shareholders of the Funds will
be taxable as ordinary income or, in certain circumstances, as long-term capital
gains to the shareholders.

     Each of the Funds' obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will
generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the
agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to
the agreement (the "net amount"). Each of the Funds' obligations under a swap
agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the Fund).
Accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by
designating cash, U.S. Government securities or other high-grade liquid
securities on the books of the Fund's custodian, to avoid any potential
leveraging of a Fund's portfolio.

     The Funds will not enter into any interest rate swap transaction unless the
credit quality of the unsecured senior debt or the claims-paying ability of the
other party to the transaction is rated in one of the highest four rating
categories by at least one nationally-recognized statistical rating organization
("NRSRO") or is believed by the Advisor to be equivalent to that rating. If the
other party to a transaction defaults, the Funds will have contractual remedies
pursuant to the agreements related to the transactions.

     The use of interest rate swaps is a highly specialized activity that
involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with
ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Advisor is incorrect in its
forecasts of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the
investment performance of each of the Funds would be lower than it would have
been if interest rate swaps were not used. The swaps market has grown
substantially in recent years with a large number of banks and investment
banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized
swap documentation. As a result, the swaps market has become relatively liquid
in comparison with other similar instruments traded in the interbank market. The
swaps market is a relatively new market and is largely unregulated. It is
possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government
regulation, could adversely affect the Funds' ability to terminate existing swap
agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

     Investment Company Securities.  Each of the Funds (other than the Short
Term Treasury Fund) may invest in securities issued by other investment
companies. As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund would bear its
pro rata portion of the other investment company's expenses, including advisory
fees. These expenses would be in addition to the expenses each Fund bears
directly in connection with its own operations. Each Fund currently intends to
limit its investments in securities issued by other investment companies so
that, as determined immediately after a purchase of such securities is made: (i)
not more than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets will be invested in the
securities of any one investment company; (ii) not more than 10% of the value of
its total assets will be invested in the aggregate in securities of investment
companies as a group; and (iii) not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock
of any one investment company will be owned by the Fund.

     Lending Of Portfolio Securities.  To enhance the return on its portfolio,
each of the Funds may lend securities in its portfolio (subject to a limit of
25% of each Fund's, other than the Money Market Fund's, total assets; and 33
1/3% of the Money Market Fund's total assets) to securities firms and financial
institutions, provided that each loan is secured continuously by collateral in
the form of cash, high quality money market instruments or short-term U.S.
Government securities adjusted daily to have a market value at least equal to
the current market value of the securities loaned. These loans are terminable at
any time, and the Funds will receive any interest or dividends paid on the
loaned securities. In addition, it is anticipated that a Fund may share with the
borrower some

                                       8
<PAGE>

of the income received on the collateral for the loan or the Fund will be paid a
premium for the loan. The risk in lending portfolio securities, as with other
extensions of credit, consists of possible delay in recovery of the securities
or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail
financially. In determining whether the Funds will lend securities, the Advisor,
World (with respect to the Index 500 Fund or International Equity Fund) or the
Sub-Advisor (with respect to the Framlington Funds) will consider all relevant
facts and circumstances. The Funds will only enter into loan arrangements with
broker-dealers, banks or other institutions which the Advisor, World or the Sub-
Advisor has determined are creditworthy under guidelines established by the
Boards of Directors/Trustees.

     Lower-rated Debt Securities. It is expected that each Fund (other than the
Money Market Funds, Index 500 Fund and Growth & Income Fund) will invest not
more than 5% of its total assets in securities that are rated below investment
grade by Standard & Poor's Rating Service, a division of McGraw-Hill Companies,
Inc. ("S&P"), or Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or in comparable
unrated securities. The Growth & Income Fund may invest up to 20% of the value
of its total assets in such securities. The Money Market Funds and the Index 500
Fund may not invest in such securities. Such securities are also known as junk
bonds. The yields on lower-rated debt and comparable unrated securities
generally are higher than the yields available on higher-rated securities.
However, investments in lower-rated debt and comparable unrated securities
generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and
principal, including the possibility of default by or bankruptcy of the issuers
of such securities. Lower-rated debt and comparable unrated securities (a) will
likely have some quality and protective characteristics that, in the judgment of
the rating organization, are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk
exposures to adverse conditions and (b) are predominantly speculative with
respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal in
accordance with the terms of the obligation. Accordingly, it is possible that
these types of factors could, in certain instances, reduce the value of
securities held in each Fund's portfolio, with a commensurate effect on the
value of each of the Fund's shares. Therefore, an investment in the Funds should
not be considered as a complete investment program and may not be appropriate
for all investors.

     While the market values of lower-rated debt and comparable unrated
securities tend to react more to fluctuations in interest rate levels than the
market values of higher-rated securities, the market values of certain lower
rated debt and comparable unrated securities also tend to be more sensitive to
individual corporate developments and changes in economic conditions than
higher-rated securities. In addition, lower-rated debt securities and comparable
unrated securities generally present a higher degree of credit risk. Issuers of
lower-rated debt and comparable unrated securities often are highly leveraged
and may not have more traditional methods of financing available to them so that
their ability to service their debt obligations during an economic downturn or
during sustained periods of rising interest rates may be impaired. The risk of
loss due to default by such issuers is significantly greater because lower-rated
debt and comparable unrated securities generally are unsecured and frequently
are subordinated to the prior payment of senior indebtedness. The Funds may
incur additional expenses to the extent that they are required to seek recovery
upon a default in the payment of principal or interest on their portfolio
holdings. The existence of limited markets for lower-rated debt and comparable
unrated securities may diminish each of the Fund's ability to (a) obtain
accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing such securities and
calculating its net asset value and (b) sell the securities at fair value either
to meet redemption requests or to respond to changes in the economy or in
financial markets.

     Lower-rated debt securities and comparable unrated securities may have call
or buy-back features that permit their issuers to call or repurchase the
securities from their holders. If an issuer exercises these rights during
periods of declining interest rates, the Funds may have to replace the security
with a lower yielding security, thus resulting in a decreased return to the
Funds. A description of applicable credit ratings is set forth in Appendix A of
this SAI.

     Money Market Instruments. Each of the Funds (except the Short Term
Treasury Fund) may invest from time to time in "money market instruments," a
term that includes, among other things, bank obligations, commercial paper,
variable amount master demand notes and corporate bonds with remaining
maturities of 397 days or less.

     Bank obligations include bankers' acceptances, negotiable certificates of
deposit and non-negotiable time deposits, including U.S. dollar-denominated
instruments issued or supported by the credit of U.S. or foreign banks or
savings institutions.  Although the Funds will invest in obligations of foreign
banks or foreign branches of U.S.

                                       9
<PAGE>


banks only where the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor deems the instrument to
present minimal credit risks, such investments may nevertheless entail risks
that are different from those of investments in domestic obligations of U.S.
banks due to differences in political, regulatory and economic systems and
conditions. All investments in bank obligations are limited to the obligations
of financial institutions having more than $1 billion in total assets at the
time of purchase.

     Investments by a Fund in commercial paper will consist of issues rated at
the time of purchase A-1 and/or P-1 by S&P or Moody's. In addition, the Funds
may acquire unrated commercial paper and corporate bonds that are determined by
the Advisor, World (with respect to the Index 500 Fund or International Equity
Fund) or the Sub-Advisor (with respect to the Framlington Funds) at the time of
purchase to be of comparable quality to rated instruments that may be acquired
by such Fund as previously described.

     The Funds may also purchase variable amount master demand notes which are
unsecured instruments that permit the indebtedness thereunder to vary and
provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate.  Although the notes are
not normally traded and there may be no secondary market in the notes, a Fund
may demand payment of the principal of the instrument at any time.  The notes
are not typically rated by credit rating agencies, but issuers of variable
amount master demand notes must satisfy the same criteria as set forth above for
issuers of commercial paper.  If an issuer of a variable amount master demand
note defaulted on its payment obligation, a Fund might be unable to dispose of
the note because of the absence of a secondary market and might, for this or
other reasons, suffer a loss to the extent of the default.  The Funds invest in
variable amount master notes only when the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor
deems the investment to involve minimal credit risk.

     Mortgage-related Securities.  There are a number of important differences
among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue
mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. Mortgage-
related securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA") include GNMA Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as "Ginnie
Maes") which are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest
by GNMA and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States. GNMA is a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation within the Department
of Housing and Urban Development. GNMA certificates also are supported by the
authority of GNMA to borrow funds from the U.S. Treasury to make payments under
its guarantee. Mortgage-related securities issued by the Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA") include FNMA Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates (also known as "Fannie Maes") which are solely the obligations of
the FNMA and are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the
United States, but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
U.S. Treasury. FNMA is a government-sponsored organization owned entirely by
private stockholders. Fannie Maes are guaranteed as to timely payment of the
principal and interest by FNMA. Mortgage-related securities issued by the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") include FHLMC Mortgage
Participation Certificates (also known as "Freddie Macs" or "PCs"). FHLMC is a
corporate instrumentality of the United States, created pursuant to an Act of
Congress, which is owned entirely by Federal Home Loan Banks. Freddie Macs are
not guaranteed by the United States or by any Federal Home Loan Banks and do not
constitute a debt or obligation of the United States or of any Federal Home Loan
Bank. Freddie Macs entitle the holder to timely payment of interest, which is
guaranteed by the FHLMC. FHLMC guarantees either ultimate collection or timely
payment of all principal payments on the underlying mortgage loans. When FHLMC
does not guarantee timely payment of principal, FHLMC may remit the amount due
on account of its guarantee of ultimate payment of principal at any time after
default on an underlying mortgage, but in no event later than one year after it
becomes payable.

     Municipal Obligations.  Opinions relating to the validity of municipal
obligations and to the exemption of interest thereon from regular Federal income
tax are rendered by bond counsel or counsel to the respective issuers at the
time of issuance.  Neither the Company, the Trust nor the Advisor will review
the proceedings relating to the issuance of municipal obligations or the bases
for such opinions.

     An issuer's obligations under its municipal obligations are subject to the
provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors, such as the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and laws, if any,
which may be enacted by Federal or state legislatures extending the time for
payment of principal or interest, or both, or imposing other constraints upon
enforcement of such obligations or upon the ability of

                                       10
<PAGE>

municipalities to levy taxes. The power or ability of an issuer to meet its
obligations for the payment of interest on and principal of its municipal
obligations may be materially adversely affected by litigation or other
conditions.

     From time to time proposals have been introduced before Congress for the
purpose of restricting or eliminating the Federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations. For example, under the Tax Reform Act of 1986
interest on certain private activity bonds must be included in an investor's
Federal alternative minimum taxable income, and corporate investors must include
all tax-exempt interest in their Federal alternative minimum taxable income. The
Trust cannot predict what legislation, if any, may be proposed in Congress in
the future as regards the Federal income tax status of interest on municipal
obligations in general, or which proposals, if any, might be enacted. Such
proposals, if enacted, might materially adversely affect the availability of
municipal obligations for investment by the Tax-Free Bond Funds and the Tax-Free
Money Market Fund and the liquidity and value of such Funds. In such an event
the Board of Trustees would reevaluate the Fund's investment objective and
policies and consider changes in its structure or possible dissolution.


     The Cash Investment Fund and the Money Market Fund each may, when deemed
appropriate by the Advisor in light of the Fund's investment objective, invest
in high quality municipal obligations issued by state and local governmental
issuers, the interest on which may be taxable or tax-exempt for Federal income
tax purposes, provided that such obligations carry yields that are competitive
with those of other types of money market instruments of comparable quality.
Neither the Cash Investment Fund nor the Money Market Fund expects to invest
more than 5% of its net assets in such municipal obligations during the current
fiscal year.

     Non-Domestic Bank Obligations.  Non-domestic bank obligations include
Eurodollar Certificates of Deposit ("ECDs"), which are U.S. dollar-denominated
certificates of deposit issued by offices of foreign and domestic banks located
outside the United States; Eurodollar Time Deposits ("ETDs"), which are U.S.
dollar-denominated deposits in a foreign branch of a U.S. bank or a foreign
bank; Canadian Time Deposits ("CTDs"), which are essentially the same as ETDs
except they are issued by Canadian offices of major Canadian banks; Schedule Bs,
which are obligations issued by Canadian branches of foreign or domestic banks;
Yankee Certificates of Deposit ("Yankee CDs"), which are U.S. dollar-denominated
certificates of deposit issued by a U.S. branch of a foreign bank and held in
the United States; and Yankee Bankers' Acceptances ("Yankee BAs"), which are
U.S. dollar denominated bankers' acceptances issued by a U.S. branch of a
foreign bank and held in the United States.


     Options.  Each of the Equity Funds, Balanced Fund, Bond Funds,
International Bond Fund and Tax-Free Bond Funds (other than Tax-Free Short-
Intermediate Bond Fund) may write covered call options, buy put options, buy
call options and write secured put options. For a detailed description on
options, see Appendix B to this SAI.

     Real Estate Securities.  The Real Estate Fund may invest without limit in
shares of real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). The Equity Funds and the
Balanced Fund may also invest in REITs. REITs pool investors' funds for
investment primarily in income producing real estate or real estate loans or
interests. A REIT is not taxed on income distributed to shareholders if it
complies with several requirements relating to its organization, ownership,
assets, and income and a requirement that it distribute to its shareholders at
least 95% of it taxable income (other than net capital gains) for each taxable
year. REITs can generally be classified as Equity REITs, Mortgage REITs and
Hybrid REITs. Equity REITs, which invest the majority of their assets directly
in real property, derive their income primarily from rents. Equity REITs can
also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value.
Mortgage REITs, which invest the majority of their assets in real estate
mortgages, derive their income primarily from interest payments. Hybrid REITs
combine the characteristics of both Equity REITs and Mortgage REITs. The Funds
will not invest in real estate directly, but only in securities issued by real
estate companies. However, the Funds may be subject to risks similar to those
associated with the direct ownership of real estate (in addition to securities
markets risks) because of its policy of concentration in the securities of
companies in the real estate industry. These include declines in the value of
real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, dependency
on management skill, heavy cash flow dependency, possible lack of availability
of mortgage funds, overbuilding, extended vacancies of properties, increased
competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in
zoning laws, losses due to costs resulting from the clean-up of environmental
problems, liability to third parties for damages resulting from environmental
problems, casualty or condemnation

                                       11
<PAGE>

losses, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values, the appeal of
properties to tenants and changes in interest rates.


     In addition to these risks, Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the
value of the underlying property owned by the trusts, while Mortgage REITs may
be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Further, Equity and Mortgage
REITs are dependent upon management skills and generally may not be diversified.
Equity and Mortgage REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency,
defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. In addition, Equity and Mortgage
REITs could possibly fail to qualify for the beneficial tax treatment available
to REITs under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal
Revenue Code"), or to maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940
Act. The above factors may also adversely affect a borrower's or a lessee's
ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a
borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a
mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting
investments.

     Repurchase Agreements.  Each of the Funds may agree to purchase securities
from financial institutions such as member banks of the Federal Reserve System,
any foreign bank or any domestic or foreign broker/dealer that is recognized as
a reporting government securities dealer, subject to the seller's agreement to
repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon time and price ("repurchase
agreements"). The Short Term Treasury Fund will only invest in repurchase
agreements fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. The Advisor, World
or the Sub-Advisor will review and continuously monitor the creditworthiness of
the seller under a repurchase agreement, and will require the seller to maintain
collateral in an amount that is greater than the repurchase price. Default by,
or bankruptcy of, the seller would, however, expose a Fund to possible loss
because of adverse market action or delays in connection with the disposition of
underlying obligations except with respect to repurchase agreements secured by
U.S. Government securities. With respect to the Money Market Funds, the
securities held subject to a repurchase agreement may have stated maturities
exceeding thirteen months, provided the repurchase agreement itself matures in
397 days or less.

     The repurchase price under repurchase agreements generally equals the price
paid by a Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates
(which may be more or less than the rate on the securities underlying the
repurchase agreement).


     Securities subject to repurchase agreements will be held, as applicable, by
the Trust's, Framlington's or the Company's custodian in the Federal
Reserve/Treasury book-entry system or by another authorized securities
depositary. Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by a Fund under the
1940 Act.

     Reverse Repurchase Agreements.  Each Fund may borrow funds for temporary or
emergency purposes by selling portfolio securities to financial institutions
such as banks and broker/dealers and agreeing to repurchase them at a mutually
specified date and price ("reverse repurchase agreements"). Reverse repurchase
agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a
Fund may decline below the repurchase price. A Fund will pay interest on amounts
obtained pursuant to a reverse repurchase agreement. While reverse repurchase
agreements are outstanding, a Fund will maintain cash, U.S. Government
securities or other liquid securities designated on the books of the Fund or the
Fund's custodian in an amount at least equal to the market value of the
securities, plus accrued interest, subject to the agreement.

     Rights and Warrants.  The Equity Funds and the Balanced Fund may purchase
warrants, which are privileges issued by corporations enabling the owners to
subscribe to and purchase a specified number of shares of the corporation at a
specified price during a specified period of time. Subscription rights normally
have a short life span to expiration. The purchase of warrants involves the risk
that a Fund could lose the purchase value of a warrant if the right to subscribe
to additional shares is not exercised prior to the warrant's expiration. Also,
the purchase of warrants involves the risk that the effective price paid for the
warrant added to the subscription price of the related security may exceed the
value of the subscribed security's market price such as when there is no
movement in the level of the underlying security.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     Short Sales.  The Global Financial Services Fund may make short sales of
securities. A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it
does not own in anticipation that the market price of that security will
decline. When the Fund makes a short sale, it must borrow the security sold
short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale
as collateral for its obligation to deliver the security upon conclusion of the
sale. The Fund may also sell securities that it owns or has the right to acquire
at no additional cost but does not intend to deliver to the buyer, a practice
known as selling short "against-the-box." The Fund may have to pay a fee to
borrow particular securities and is often obligated to pay over any payments
received on such borrowed securities. The Fund's obligation to replace the
borrowed security will be secured by collateral deposited with the broker-
dealers, usually cash, U.S. Government securities or other highly liquid
securities similar to those borrowed. The Fund will also be required to deposit
similar collateral with its custodian to the extent necessary so that the value
of both collateral deposits in the aggregate is at all times equal to as least
100% of the current market value of the security sold short. Depending on
arrangements made with the broker-dealer from which it borrowed the security
regarding payment over any received by the Fund on such security, the Fund may
not received any payments (including interest) on its collateral deposited with
such broker-dealer. The Fund will incur transaction costs, including interest
expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales.

     If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the
short sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will
incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a capital
gain. Any gain is limited to the price at which it sold the security short; its
potential loss is theoretically unlimited.

     Stand-by Commitments.  The Balanced Fund, Cash Investment Fund, Money
Market Fund, the Tax-Free Bond Funds and Tax-Free Money Market Fund may each
enter into stand-by commitments with respect to municipal obligations held by
it. Under a stand-by commitment, a dealer agrees to purchase at the Fund's
option a specified municipal obligation at its amortized cost value to the Fund
plus accrued interest, if any. Stand-by commitments may be exercisable by a Fund
at any time before the maturity of the underlying municipal obligations and may
be sold, transferred or assigned only with the instruments involved.


     The Company and the Trust expects that stand-by commitments will generally
be available without the payment of any direct or indirect consideration.
However, if necessary or advisable, a Fund may pay for a stand-by commitment
either separately in cash or by paying a higher price for municipal obligations
which are acquired subject to the commitment (thus reducing the yield to
maturity otherwise available for the same securities). The total amount paid in
either manner for outstanding stand-by commitments held by a Fund will not
exceed 1/2 of 1% of the value of such Fund's total assets calculated immediately
after each stand-by commitment is acquired.

     The Funds intend to enter into stand-by commitments only with dealers,
banks and broker/dealers which, in the Advisor's opinion, present minimal credit
risks. The Tax-Free Bond Funds and the Tax-Free Money Market Fund will acquire
stand-by commitments solely to facilitate portfolio liquidity and do not intend
to exercise their rights thereunder for trading purposes. The acquisition of a
stand-by commitment will not affect the valuation of the underlying municipal
obligation. The actual stand-by commitment will be valued at zero in determining
net asset value. Accordingly, where a Fund pays directly or indirectly for a
stand-by commitment, its cost will be reflected as an unrealized loss for the
period during which the commitment is held by such Fund and will be reflected in
realized gain or loss when the commitment is exercised or expires.


     Stock Index Futures, Options on Stock and Bond Indices and Options on Stock
and Bond Index Futures Contracts.  The Equity Funds, the Balanced Fund, the Bond
Funds and the Tax-Free Bond Funds (other than the Tax-Free Short-Intermediate
Bond Fund) may purchase and sell stock index futures, options on stock and bond
indices and options on stock and bond index futures contracts as a hedge against
movements in the equity and bond markets. The Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond
Fund may purchase and sell bond index futures contracts. The International Bond
Fund may purchase and sell options on bond index futures contracts as a hedge
against movements in the bond markets.

     A stock index futures contract is an agreement in which one party agrees to
deliver to the other an amount of cash equal to a specific dollar amount times
the difference between the value of a specific stock index at the close

                                       13
<PAGE>

of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the agreement is
made. No physical delivery of securities is made.

     Options on stock and bond indices are similar to options on specific
securities, described above, except that, rather than the right to take or make
delivery of the specific security at a specific price, an option on a stock or
bond index gives the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option,
an amount of cash if the closing level of that stock or bond index is greater
than, in the case of a call option, or less than, in the case of a put option,
the exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal to such
difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the
option expressed in dollars times a specified multiple. The writer of the option
is obligated, in return for the premium received, to make delivery of this
amount. Unlike options on specific securities, all settlements of options on
stock or bond indices are in cash, and gain or loss depends on general movements
in the stocks included in the index rather than price movements in particular
stocks.


     If the Advisor, World (with respect to the Index 500 Fund and the
International Equity Fund) or the Sub-Advisor (with respect to the Framlington
Funds) expects general stock or bond market prices to rise, it might purchase a
stock index futures contract, or a call option on that index, as a hedge against
an increase in prices of particular securities it ultimately wants to buy. If in
fact the index does rise, the price of the particular securities intended to be
purchased may also increase, but that increase would be offset in part by the
increase in the value of the futures contract or index option resulting from the
increase in the index. If, on the other hand, the Advisor, World or the Sub-
Advisor, as the case may be, expects general stock or bond market prices to
decline, it might sell a futures contract, or purchase a put option, on the
index. If that index does in fact decline, the value of some or all of the
securities in the Funds' portfolio may also be expected to decline, but that
decrease would be offset in part by the increase in the value of the Fund's
position in such futures contract or put option.

     The Equity Funds, the Balanced Fund, the Bond Funds and the Tax-Free Bond
Funds (other than Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund) may purchase and write
call and put options on stock index futures contracts and each such Fund and the
International Bond Fund may purchase and write call and put options on bond
index futures contracts. Each such Fund may use such options on futures
contracts in connection with its hedging strategies in lieu of purchasing and
selling the underlying futures or purchasing and writing options directly on the
underlying securities or indices. For example, such Funds may purchase put
options or write call options on stock and bond index futures (only bond index
futures in the case of the International Bond Fund), rather than selling futures
contracts, in anticipation of a decline in general stock or bond market prices
or purchase call options or write put options on stock or bond index futures,
rather than purchasing such futures, to hedge against possible increases in the
price of securities which such Funds intend to purchase.

     In connection with transactions in stock or bond index futures, stock or
bond index options and options on stock or bond index futures, the Funds will be
required to deposit as "initial margin" an amount of cash or short-term U.S.
Government securities equal to between 5% to 8% of the contract amount.
Thereafter, subsequent payments (referred to as "variation margin") are made to
and from the broker to reflect changes in the value of the option or futures
contract. No Fund may at any time commit more than 5% of its total assets to
initial margin deposits on futures contracts, index options and options on
futures contracts.


     Stripped Securities.  Certain Funds may acquire U.S. Government obligations
and their unmatured interest coupons that have been separated ("stripped") by
their holder, typically a custodian bank or investment brokerage firm. Having
separated the interest coupons from the underlying principal of the U.S.
Government obligations, the holder will resell the stripped securities in
custodial receipt programs with a number of different names, including "Treasury
Income Growth Receipts" ("TIGRs") and "Certificate of Accrual on Treasury
Securities" ("CATS"). The stripped coupons are sold separately from the
underlying principal, which is usually sold at a deep discount because the buyer
receives only the right to receive a future fixed principal payment on the
security and does not receive any rights to periodic interest (cash) payments.
The underlying U.S. Treasury bonds and notes themselves are held in book-entry
form at the Federal Reserve Bank or, in the case of bearer securities (i.e.,
unregistered securities which are ostensibly owned by the bearer or holder), in
trust on behalf of the owners. Counsel to the underwriters of these certificates
or other evidences of ownership of U.S. Treasury securities have stated that, in
their opinion, purchasers of the stripped securities most likely will be deemed
the beneficial holders of

                                       14
<PAGE>

the underlying U.S. Government obligations for federal tax and securities
purposes. The Company, the Trust and Framlington are not aware of any binding
legislative, judicial or administrative authority on this issue.

     Only instruments which are stripped by the issuing agency will be
considered U.S. Government obligations. Securities such as CATS and TIGRs which
are stripped by their holder do not qualify as U.S. Government obligations.


     The U.S. Treasury Department has facilitated transfers of ownership of zero
coupon securities by accounting separately for the beneficial ownership of
particular interest coupon and principal payments on U.S. Treasury securities
through the Federal Reserve book-entry record-keeping system. The Federal
Reserve program as established by the U.S. Treasury Department is known as
"STRIPS" or "Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of
Securities." Under the STRIPS program, a Fund is able to have its beneficial
ownership of zero coupon securities recorded directly in the book-entry record-
keeping system in lieu of having to hold certificates or other evidences of
ownership of the underlying U.S. Treasury securities.

     In addition, the Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, International Bond Fund
and U.S. Income Fund may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities ("SMBS"),
which represent beneficial ownership interests in the principal distributions
and/or the interest distributions on mortgage assets. SMBS are usually
structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest
and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. One type of SMBS will
have one class receiving some of the interest and most of the principal from the
mortgage assets, while the other class will receive most of the interest and the
remainder of the principal. In the most common case, one class of SMBS will
receive all of the interest (the interest-only or "IO" class), while the other
class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or "PO" class). SMBS
may be issued by FNMA or FHLMC.

     The original principal amount, if any, of each SMBS class represents the
amount payable to the holder thereof over the life of such SMBS class from
principal distributions of the underlying mortgage assets, which will be zero in
the case of an IO class. Interest distributions allocable to a class of SMBS, if
any, consist of interest at a specified rate on its principal amount, if any, or
its notional principal amount in the case of an IO class. The notional principal
amount is used solely for purposes of the determination of interest
distributions and certain other rights of holders of such IO class and does not
represent an interest in principal distributions of the mortgage assets.

     Yields on SMBS will be extremely sensitive to the prepayment experience on
the underlying mortgage loans, and there are other associated risks. For IO
classes of SMBS and SMBS that were purchased at prices exceeding their principal
amounts there is a risk that a Fund may not fully recover its initial
investment.

     The determination of whether a particular government-issued IO or PO backed
by fixed-rate mortgages is liquid may be made under guidelines and standards
established by the Boards of Directors/Trustees. Such securities may be deemed
liquid if they can be disposed of promptly in the ordinary course of business at
a value reasonably close to that used in the calculation of a Fund's net asset
value per share.

     Supranational Bank Obligations.  Supranational banks are international
banking institutions designed or supported by national governments to promote
economic reconstruction, development or trade between nations (e.g., The World
Bank). Obligations of supranational banks may be supported by appropriated but
unpaid commitments of their member countries and there is no assurance these
commitments will be undertaken or met in the future.


     U.S. Government Obligations.  The Funds may purchase obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government and, except in the case of the U.S. Treasury
Money Market Fund and the Short Term Treasury Fund, U.S. Government agencies and
instrumentalities. The U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and the Short Term
Treasury Fund will purchase obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury. Obligations
of certain agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government, such as those
of GNMA, are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury.
Others, such as those of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury; and still
others, such as those of the Student Loan Marketing

                                       15
<PAGE>

Association, are supported only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality
issuing the obligation. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government would
provide financial support to U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities if it
is not obligated to do so by law. Examples of the types of U.S. Government
obligations that may be acquired by the Funds include U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S.
Treasury Notes and U.S. Treasury Bonds and the obligations of Federal Home Loan
Banks, Federal Farm Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, the Federal Housing
Administration, Farmers Home Administration, Export-Import Bank of the United
States, Small Business Administration, FNMA, GNMA, General Services
Administration, Student Loan Marketing Association, Central Bank for
Cooperatives, FHLMC, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks and Maritime
Administration.

     Variable and Floating Rate Instruments.  Debt instruments may be structured
to have variable or floating interest rates. Variable and floating rate
obligations purchased by a Fund may have stated maturities in excess of a Fund's
maturity limitation if the Fund can demand payment of the principal of the
instrument at least once during such period on not more than thirty days' notice
(this demand feature is not required if the instrument is guaranteed by the U.S.
Government or an agency thereof). These instruments may include variable amount
master demand notes that permit the indebtedness to vary in addition to
providing for periodic adjustments in the interest rates. The Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor, as the case may be, will consider the earning power, cash flows and
other liquidity ratios of the issuers and guarantors of such instruments and, if
the instrument is subject to a demand feature, will continuously monitor their
financial ability to meet payment on demand. Where necessary to ensure that a
variable or floating rate instrument is equivalent to the quality standards
applicable to a Fund, the issuer's obligation to pay the principal of the
instrument will be backed by an unconditional bank letter or line of credit,
guarantee or commitment to lend. The Money Market Funds will invest in variable
and floating rate instruments only when the Advisor deems the investment to
involve minimal credit risk.

     In determining average weighted portfolio maturity of the Funds, an
instrument will usually be deemed to have a maturity equal to the longer of the
period remaining until the next interest rate adjustment or the time the Fund
involved can recover payment of principal as specified in the instrument.
Variable rate U.S. Government obligations held by the Funds, however, will be
deemed to have maturities equal to the period remaining until the next interest
rate adjustment.

     The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating
rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of the instruments, and a Fund
could suffer a loss if the issuer defaulted or during periods that a Fund is not
entitled to exercise its demand rights.

     Variable and floating rate instruments held by a Fund will be subject to
the Fund's limitation on illiquid investments when the Fund may not demand
payment of the principal amount within seven days absent a reliable trading
market.


     Guaranteed Investment Contracts.  The Bond Funds, International Bond Fund,
Cash Investment Fund and Money Market Fund may make limited investments in
guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") issued by U.S. insurance companies.
Pursuant to such contracts, a Fund makes cash contributions to a deposit fund of
the insurance company's general account. The insurance company then credits to
the Fund on a monthly basis interest which is based on an index (in most cases
this index is expected to be the Salomon Brothers CD Index), but is guaranteed
not to be less than a certain minimum rate. A GIC is normally a general
obligation of the issuing insurance company and not funded by a separate
account. The purchase price paid for a GIC becomes part of the general assets of
the insurance company, and the contract is paid from the company's general
assets. A Fund will only purchase GICs from insurance companies which, at the
time of purchase, have assets of $1 billion or more and meet quality and credit
standards established by the Advisor pursuant to guidelines approved by the
Boards of Directors/Trustees. Generally, GICs are not assignable or transferable
without the permission of the issuing insurance companies, and an active
secondary market in GICs does not currently exist. Therefore, GICs will normally
be considered illiquid investments, and will be acquired subject to the Fund's
limitation on illiquid investments.

     When-Issued Purchases and Forward Commitments (Delayed-Delivery
Transactions).  When-issued purchases and forward commitments (known as delayed-
delivery transactions) are commitments by a Fund to

                                       16
<PAGE>

purchase or sell particular securities with payment and delivery to occur at a
future date (perhaps one or two months later). These transactions permit the
Fund to lock-in a price or yield on a security, regardless of future changes in
interest rates.


     When a Fund agrees to purchase securities on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis, the Fund will designate cash or liquid portfolio securities
equal to the amount of the commitment. Normally, the Fund will designate
portfolio securities to satisfy a purchase commitment, and in such a case the
Fund may be required subsequently to designate additional assets in order to
ensure that the value of the account remains equal to the amount of the Fund's
commitments. It may be expected that the market value of the Fund's net assets
will fluctuate to a greater degree when it designates portfolio securities to
cover such purchase commitments than when it designates cash. Because a Fund's
liquidity and ability to manage its portfolio might be affected when it
designates cash or portfolio securities to cover such purchase commitments, the
Advisor or the Sub-Advisor expects that its commitments to purchase when-issued
securities and forward commitments will not exceed 25% of the value of a Fund's
total assets absent unusual market conditions.

     A Fund will purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment
basis only with the intention of completing the transaction and actually
purchasing the securities. If deemed advisable as a matter of investment
strategy, however, a Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a commitment after it is
entered into, and may sell securities it has committed to purchase before those
securities are delivered to the Fund on the settlement date. In these cases the
Fund may realize a taxable capital gain or loss.

     When a Fund engages in when-issued and forward commitment transactions, it
relies on the other party to consummate the trade. Failure of such party to do
so may result in the Fund's incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to obtain
a price considered to be advantageous.

     The market value of the securities underlying a when-issued purchase or a
forward commitment to purchase securities, and any subsequent fluctuations in
their market value, are taken into account when determining the market value of
a Fund starting on the day the Fund agrees to purchase the securities. The Fund
does not earn interest on the securities it has committed to purchase until they
are paid for and delivered on the settlement date.


     Yields and Ratings.  The yields on certain obligations, including the money
market instruments in which each Fund may invest (such as commercial paper and
bank obligations), are dependent on a variety of factors, including general
money market conditions, conditions in the particular market for the obligation,
the financial condition of the issuer, the size of the offering, the maturity of
the obligation and the ratings of the issue. The ratings of S&P, Moody's, Duff &
Phelps Credit Rating Co., Thomson Bank Watch, Inc., Fitch IBCA, Inc. and other
NRSROs represent their respective opinions as to the quality of the obligations
they undertake to rate. Ratings, however, are general and are not absolute
standards of quality. Consequently, obligations with the same rating, maturity
and interest rate may have different market prices.

     With respect to each of the Money Market Funds, securities (other than U.S.
Government securities) must be rated (generally, by at least two NRSROs) within
the two highest rating categories assigned to short-term debt securities. In
addition, each of Cash Investment Fund and Money Market Fund will not invest
more than 5% of its total assets in securities rated in the second highest
rating category by such NRSROs and will not invest more than 1% of its total
assets in such securities of any one issuer. Each of Cash Investment Fund, Money
Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund intends to limit investments in the
securities of any single issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities) to not more than 5% of
the Fund's total assets at the time of purchase, provided that the Fund may
invest up to 25% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer rated
in the highest rating category by an NRSRO for a period of up to three business
days. Unrated and certain single rated securities (other than U.S. Government
securities) may be purchased by the Money Market Funds, but are subject to a
determination by the Advisor, in accordance with procedures established by the
Boards of Directors/Trustees, that the unrated and single rated securities are
of comparable quality to the appropriate rated securities.

     Other.  Subsequent to its purchase by a Fund, a rated security may cease to
be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum rating required for
purchase by the Fund. The Boards of Directors/Trustees or the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor, pursuant to guidelines established by the Boards, will consider
such an event in determining whether the Fund involved should continue to hold
the security in accordance with the interests of the Fund and applicable
regulations of the SEC.

           RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS -- INDEX 500 FUND


     Traditional methods of fund investment management typically involve
relatively frequent changes in a portfolio of securities on the basis of
economic, financial and market analysis. Index funds such as the Index 500 Fund
are not managed in this manner. Instead, with the aid of a computer program,
World purchases and sells securities for the Fund in an attempt to produce
investment results that substantially duplicate the performance of the common
stocks included in the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P 500"), taking
into account redemptions, sales of additional Fund shares, and other adjustments
as described below.

     The Fund does not expect to hold at any particular time all of the stocks
included in the S&P 500. World believes, however, that through the application
of capitalization weighing and sector balancing techniques it will be able to
construct and maintain the Fund's investment portfolio so that it reasonably
tracks the performance of the S&P 500. World will compare the industry sector
diversification of the stocks the Fund would acquire solely on the basis of
their weighted capitalizations with the industry sector diversification of all
issuers included in the S&P 500. This comparison is made because World believes
that, unless the Fund holds all stocks included in the S&P 500, the selection of
stocks for purchase by the Fund solely on the basis of their weighted market
capitalizations would tend to place heavier concentration in certain industry
sectors that are dominated by the larger corporations, such as communications,
automobile, oil and energy. As a result, events disproportionately affecting
such industries could affect the performance of the Fund differently than the
performance of the S&P 500. Conversely, if smaller companies were not purchased
by the Fund, the representation of industries included in the S&P 500 that are
not dominated by the most heavily market-capitalized companies would be reduced
or eliminated.

     For these reasons, World will identify the sectors which are (or, except
for sector balancing, would be) most underrepresented in the Fund's portfolio
and will purchase balancing securities in these sectors until the portfolio's
sector weightings closely match those of the S&P 500. This process continues
until the portfolio is fully invested (except for cash holdings).

     Redemptions of a substantial number of shares of the Fund could reduce the
number of issuers represented in the Fund's investment portfolio, which could,
in turn, adversely affect the accuracy with which the Fund tracks the
performance of the S&P 500.


     If an issuer drops in ranking, or is eliminated entirely from the S&P 500,
World may be required to sell some or all of the common stock of such issuer
then held by the Fund. Such sales of portfolio securities may be made at times
when, if World were not required to effect purchases and sales of portfolio
securities in accordance with the S&P 500, such securities might not be sold.
These sales may result in lower prices for the securities than may have been
realized or in losses that may not have been incurred if World were not required
to effect the purchases and sales. The failure of an issuer to declare or pay
dividends, the institution against an issuer of potentially materially adverse
legal proceedings, the existence or threat of defaults materially and adversely
affecting an issuer's future declaration and payment of dividends, or the
existence of other materially adverse credit factors will not necessarily be the
basis for the disposition of portfolio securities, unless such event causes the
issuer to be eliminated entirely from the S&P 500. However, although World does
not intend to screen securities for investment by the Fund by traditional
methods of financial and market analysis, World will monitor the Fund's
investment with a view towards removing stocks of companies which exhibit
extreme financial distress or which may impair for any reason the Fund's ability
to achieve its investment objective.

     The Fund will invest primarily in the common stocks that constitute the S&P
500 in accordance with their relative capitalization and sector weightings as
described above. It is possible, however, that the Fund will from time to time
receive, as part of a "spin-off" or other corporate reorganization of an issuer
included in the S&P 500,

                                       18
<PAGE>

securities that are themselves outside the S&P 500. Such securities will be
disposed of by the Fund in due course consistent with the Fund's investment
objective.

     In addition, the Fund may invest in Standard & Poor's Depository Receipts
("SPDRs"). SPDRs are securities that represent ownership in the SPDR Trust, a
long-term unit investment trust which is intended to provide investment results
that generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500.
SPDR holders are paid a "Dividend Equivalent Amount" that corresponds to the
amount of cash dividends accruing to the securities in the SPDR Trust, net of
certain fees and expenses charged to the Trust. Because of these fees and
expenses, the dividend yield for SPDRs may be less than that of the S&P 500.
SPDRs are traded on the American Stock Exchange.


     The Fund may also purchase put and call options on the S&P 500 and S&P 100
stock indices, which are traded on national securities exchanges. In addition,
the Fund may enter into transactions involving futures contracts (and futures
options) on these two stock indices and may purchase securities of other
investment companies that are structured to seek a similar correlation to the
S&P 500. These transactions are effected in an effort to have fuller exposure to
price movements in the S&P 500 pending investment of purchase orders or while
maintaining liquidity to meet potential shareholder redemptions. Transactions in
option and stock index futures contracts may be desirable to hedge against a
price movement in the S&P 500 at times when the Fund is not fully invested in
stocks that are included in the S&P 500. For example, by purchasing a futures
contract, the Fund may be able to reduce the potential that cash inflows will
disrupt its ability to track the S&P 500, since the futures contracts may serve
as a temporary substitute for stocks which may then be purchased in an orderly
fashion. Similarly, because futures contracts only require a small initial
margin deposit, the Fund may be able, as an effective matter, to be fully
invested in the S&P 500 while keeping a cash reserve to meet potential
redemptions. See Appendix B to this SAI.

       RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - MICHIGAN BOND FUND AND
                     TAX-FREE SHORT-INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
                                [TO BE REVISED]

     The information set forth below is derived in substantial part from the
official statements prepared in connection with the issuance of Michigan
municipal bonds and similar obligations and other sources that are generally
available to investors. The information is provided as general information
intended to give a recent historical description and is not intended to indicate
future or continuing trends in the financial or other positions of the State of
Michigan (the "State"). The Trust has not independently verified this
information.

     The State's Constitution limits the amount of total State revenues raised
from taxes and other sources. State revenues (excluding federal aid and revenues
for payment of principal and interest on general obligation bonds) in any fiscal
year are limited to a specified percentage of State personal income in the prior
calendar year or average of the prior three calendar years, whichever is
greater. The percentage is based upon the ratio of the 1978-79 fiscal year
revenues to total 1977 State personal income. If any fiscal year revenues exceed
the revenue limitation by 1%, the entire amount exceeding the limitation must be
rebated in the following fiscal year's personal income tax or single business
tax. Annual excesses of less than 1% may be transferred into the State's Budget
Stabilization Fund. The State may raise taxes in excess of the limit in
emergency situations.

     The State Constitution limits the purposes for which State general
obligation debt may be issued. Such debt is limited to short-term debt for State
operating purposes, short and long-term debt for the purpose of making loans to
school districts and long-term debt for voter approved purposes. The State's
Constitution also directs or restricts the use of certain revenues.

     The State finances its operations through the State's General Fund and
special revenue funds. The General Fund receives revenues of the State that are
not specifically required to be included in the special revenue funds. General
Fund revenues are obtained approximately 55% from the payment of State taxes and
45% from federal and non-tax revenue sources. Tax revenues credited to the
General Fund include the personal income tax, the single business tax and
approximately 15% of the sales tax collections.

     Expenditures are not permitted by the State Constitution to exceed
available revenues. The State Constitution requires that the Governor, with the
approval of the appropriating committees of the State House and Senate, reduce
expenditures whenever it appears that the actual revenues will be less than the
originally projected revenues upon which the budget was based.

     In 1994, a ballot proposal ("Proposal A") to implement extensive property
tax and school finance reform measures was subject to voter approval and in fact
approved on March 15, 1994. Under Proposal A as approved, effective May 1, 1994,
the State sales and use tax increased from 4% to 6%, the State income tax
decreased from 4.6% to 4.4%, the cigarette tax increased from $.25 to $.75 per
pack, and an additional tax of 16% of the wholesale price is imposed on certain
other tobacco products. As of January 1, 1995, a 0.75% real estate transfer tax
also became effective. In 1994, a State education property tax of 6 mills was
imposed on all real property and personal property currently subject to the
general property tax. In addition, all school boards can now, with voter
approval, levy up to the lesser of 18 mills or the number of mills levied in
1993 for school operating purposes, on non-homestead property. Proposal A
contained additional provisions regarding the ability of local school districts
to levy taxes as well as a limit on assessment increases for each parcel of
property, beginning in 1995 to the lesser of 5% or the rate of inflation. When
property is subsequently sold, its assessed value is adjusted equal to 50% of
true cash value. Under Proposal A, much of the additional revenue generated by
these taxes is dedicated to the State School Aid Fund.

     Proposal A shifts significant portions of the cost of local school
operations from local school districts to the State and raises additional State
revenues to fund these additional State expenses. These additional revenues will
be included within the State's constitutional revenue limitations and may impact
the State's ability to raise additional revenues in the future.

     The State is a party to various legal proceedings seeking damages or
injunctive or other relief. In addition to routine litigation, certain of these
proceedings could, if unfavorably resolved from the point of view of the State,
substantially affect State programs or finances. These lawsuits involve programs
generally in the areas of corrections, highway maintenance, social services, tax
collection, commerce and budgetary reductions to school districts and
governmental units and court funding. Although no opinion is expressed with
respect to the ultimate disposition and consequences of any litigation in
combination with any State Revenue loss, the implementation of any tax reduction
proposal or the failure of the State to realize any budget assumption, the
Attorney General of the State has indicated in a recent official statement
prepared in connection with issuance of general obligation bonds of the State
that, except as listed below, such ultimate dispositions and consequences of any
single proceeding or all legal proceedings should not themselves have a material
adverse effect on the security for such bonds.

     On August 22, 1994, the Ingham Circuit and probate courts, together with
the 55th District Court, filed suits in the Court of Claims and Ingham County
Circuit Court against the State of Michigan and Ingham County for declaratory
and injunctive relief, and for damages, due to the alleged failure of the State
Court Administrative Office to properly calculate Ingham County's reimbursement
under the court funding statute. These cases have been dismissed by stipulation
of the parties because the plaintiffs are raising the same claims as members of
a class action captioned as 10th Judicial Circuit, et al v State of Michigan, et
al. Plaintiffs assert that the amount in controversy exceeds $5 million dollars.
The case is currently pending final class certification.

     In an order dated June 10, 1997 and a decision rendered July 31, 1997, the
Michigan Supreme Court decided, in the consolidated cases of Durant v State of
Michigan and Schmidt v State of Michigan, that the special education, special
education transportation, bilingual education, driver training and school lunch
programs provided by local school districts are state mandated programs within
the meaning of Michigan Constitution, Article 9, (S) 29 (part of the so-called
Headlee Amendment) and, therefore, the state is obligated to fund these programs
at levels established by the Headlee Amendment. In fashioning a remedy in this
case of first impression under the Headlee Amendment, the Court concluded that,
in future cases, the correct remedy will typically be limited to a declaratory
judgment. However, due to the protracted nature of the Durant and Schmidt
litigation, the Court ruled that money damages, without interest, shall be paid
to the 84 plaintiff school districts for the full amount of the underfunding for
the state mandated programs during the 1991-92, 1992-93, and 1993-94 school
years. On November 19, 1997, the Governor signed legislation providing
approximately $212 million to the 84 plaintiff school districts to cover the
underfunding for those three years. That payment was made to the 84 plaintiff
school districts on April 15, 1998 from the State's Budget Stabilization Fund.
The board of education of each plaintiff school district is to determine the
appropriate distribution of the award between taxpayer relief and/or use by the
district for other public purposes. The Court has affirmed the award to
plaintiffs of their costs including attorney fees. Approximately 400 other
school districts have asserted similar claims. In companion legislation signed
by the Governor on November 19, 1997, the State will pay each "non-Durant"
school district for its underfunded state mandated program costs for those same
three years, if the district agreed, by March 2, 1998, to waive any claim
against the State of the same nature as the claims made by the 84 Durant
plaintiffs through September 30, 1997. All "non-Durant" school districts
submitted the statutory waiver by March 2, 1998. It is estimated that the
aggregate payments to the "non-Durant" school districts will, over time, total
$632 million. Those payments, commencing in fiscal year 1998-1999, will be paid
out of the Budget Stabilization Fund and the General Fund, half in annual
payments over 10 years and half in annual payments over 15 years.

     On May 14, 1998, more than 100 Michigan school districts and individuals
filed suit in the Michigan Court of Appeals, asserting that the current version
of the state school aid act violates the Headlee Amendment, in much the same
manner as prior versions of the act were ruled unconstitutional by the Michigan
Supreme Court in Durant v State Board of Education, 456 Mich 175 (1977). Durant,
et al. v State, et al. ("Durant II"). The Durant II plaintiffs are claiming
damages of approximately $347 million for the 1997-1998 school year for the
State's alleged underfunding of special education services, special education
transportation, and school lunch programs. The Durant II plaintiffs are also
requesting a declaratory judgment that the current version of the state school
aid act will not provide proper funding levels for future school years. They
also seek attorney fees and costs of the litigation.

     The principal sectors of Michigan's diversified economy are the
manufacturing of durable goods (including automobiles and components and office
equipment), tourism and agriculture. The health of the State's economy, and in
particular its durable goods manufacturing industries, is susceptible to a long-
term increase in the cost of energy and energy related products. As reflected in
historical employment figures, the State's economy has lessened its dependence
upon durable goods manufacturing. In 1960, employment in such industry accounted
for 33% of the State's work force. By 1997, this figure had fallen to 14.5%.
Although manufacturing (including auto-related manufacturing) continues to be an
important part of the State's economy, approximately 66% of the civilian labor
force is currently engaged in service related employment.

     On October 1, 1997, the State created the Year 2000 Project Office to
provide guidance, coordinate oversight for application software, manage Year
2000 funds, provide monitoring support, quality assurance and other matters. The
State has undertaken an inventory and assessment of all applications and
classified the software, has appropriated funds to carry out the project and
informed State agencies of the need to develop contingent plans for mission-
critical systems. The State's goal is to have all critical applications operable
by December 31, 1998, and all other applications operable by September 30, 1999.

     Although the State is currently on schedule to meet its objectives for Year
2000 compliance, the State has not yet achieved Year 2000 compliance. Although
the State has expressed its belief that it will continue to meet the objectives
and time frames set forth above for the Year 2000 Project, there can be no
assurance that such completion will be done in a timely manner or that any other
organization or governmental agency with which the State electronically
interacts, including State vendors and the federal government, will be Year 2000
compliant. In the event of any such occurrences, the State may face material
adverse consequences with respect to its revenues and operations.

     As of the date of this SAI, the State's general obligation bonds have been
rated "AA+" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service, a division of The McGraw-Hill
Companies, Inc. ("S&P"), "Aa1" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"),
and "AA+" by Fitch ICBA ("Fitch"). In January, 1998, the State received an
upgrade from S&P from its prior rating of "AA". In March, 1998, the State
received an upgrade from Moody's from its prior rating of "Aa2". In April, 1998,
the State received an upgrade from Fitch from its prior rating of "AA". Such
ratings are in each case based upon certain information and materials concerning
the Bonds and the State furnished by the State to such rating agencies. Any
explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained only from the
rating agencies furnishing the same. There is no assurance that such ratings
will prevail for any given period of time or that they will not be revised
downward or withdrawn entirely by any or all of such rating agencies if, in the
judgment of any or all of them, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward
revision or withdrawal of such ratings, or any or all of them, may have an
adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. To the extent that the
portfolio of Michigan municipal bonds is comprised of revenue of general
obligations of local governments or authorities, rather than general obligations
of the State of Michigan itself, ratings on such Michigan obligations will be
different from those given to the State of Michigan and their value may be
independently affected by economic matters not directly impacting the State.

                            INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

     Each Fund is subject to the investment limitations enumerated in this
section which may be changed with respect to a particular Fund only by a vote of
the holders of a majority of such Fund's outstanding shares (as defined under
"Miscellaneous-Shareholder Approvals").

     No Fund of the Trust may:

     1.   Purchase securities of any one issuer (other than securities issued or
          guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities
          or certificates of deposit for any such securities) if more than 5% of
          the value of the Fund's total assets (taken at current value) would be
          invested in the securities of such issuer, or more than 10% of the
          issuer's outstanding voting securities would be owned by the Fund or
          the Trust, except that (a) with respect to each Fund, other than the
          Michigan Bond Fund and the Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, up
          to 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets (taken at current
          value) may be invested without regard to these limitations and (b)
          with respect to the Michigan Bond Fund and the Tax-Free Short-
          Intermediate Bond Fund,

                                       22
<PAGE>

          up to 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets may be invested
          without regard to these limitations so long as no more than 25% of the
          value of the Fund's total assets are invested in the securities of any
          one issuer. For purposes of this limitation, a security is considered
          to be issued by the entity (or entities) whose assets and revenues
          back the security. A guarantee of a security is not deemed to be a
          security issued by the guarantor when the value of all securities
          issued and guaranteed by the guarantor, and owned by the Fund, does
          not exceed 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets;

     2.   Borrow money or issue senior securities except that each Fund may
          borrow from banks and enter into reverse repurchase agreements for
          temporary purposes in amounts up to one-third of the value of its
          total assets at the time of such borrowing; or mortgage, pledge or
          hypothecate any assets, except in connection with any such borrowing
          and then in amounts not in excess of one-third of the value of the
          Fund's total assets at the time of such borrowing.  No Fund will
          purchase securities while its aggregate borrowings (including reverse
          repurchase agreements and borrowing from banks) in excess of 5% of its
          total assets are outstanding.  Securities held in escrow or separate
          accounts in connection with a Fund's investment practices are not
          deemed to be pledged for purposes of this limitation;

     3.   Purchase any securities which would cause 25% or more of the value of
          the Fund's total assets at the time of purchase to be invested in the
          securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business
          activities in the same industry, provided that (a) there is no
          limitation with respect to (i) instruments that are issued (as defined
          in investment limitation 1 above) or guaranteed by the United States,
          any state, territory or possession of the United States, the District
          of Columbia or any of their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities
          or political subdivisions, (ii) with respect to the Money Market Funds
          only, instruments issued by domestic branches of U.S. banks and (iii)
          repurchase agreements secured by the instruments described in clause
          (i) and, with respect to the Money Market Funds, clause (ii); (b)
          wholly-owned finance companies will be considered to be in the
          industries of their parents if their activities are primarily related
          to financing the activities of the parents; and (c) utilities will be
          divided according to their services, for example, gas, gas
          transmission, electric and gas, electric and telephone will each be
          considered a separate industry;

     4.   Purchase or sell real estate, except that each Fund may purchase
          securities of issuers which deal in real estate and may purchase
          securities which are secured by interests in real estate;

     5.   Acquire any other investment company or investment company security
          except in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization or
          acquisition of assets or where otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act;

     6.   Act as an underwriter of securities within the meaning of the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except to the extent that the
          purchase of obligations directly from the issuer thereof, or the
          disposition of securities, in accordance with the Fund's investment
          objective, policies and limitations may be deemed to be underwriting;

     7.   Write or sell put options, call options, straddles, spreads, or any
          combination thereof except for transactions in options on securities,
          securities indices, futures contracts, options on futures contracts
          and transactions in securities on a when-issued or forward commitment
          basis, and except that each Equity and Bond Fund may enter into
          forward currency contracts in accordance with its investment
          objectives and policies.  Notwithstanding the above, the Tax-Free
          Short-Intermediate Bond Fund may not write or purchase options,
          including puts, calls, straddles, spreads, or any combination
          thereof;

     8.    Purchase securities of companies for the purpose of exercising
          control;

                                       23
<PAGE>

     9.   Purchase securities on margin, make short sales of securities or
          maintain a short position, except that (a) this investment limitation
          shall not apply to a Fund's transactions in futures contracts and
          related options, a Fund's sale of securities short against the box or
          a Fund's transactions in securities on a when-issued or forward
          commitment basis, and (b) a Fund may obtain short-term credit as may
          be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio
          securities;

     10.  Purchase or sell commodity contracts, or invest in oil, gas or
          mineral exploration or development programs, except that each Fund
          may, to the extent appropriate to its investment policies, purchase

     6.   Underwrite securities of other issuers, except insofar as the Fund may

     8.   Purchase securities on margin, or make short sales of securities

          businesses; and (iv) provided that with respect to the Equity
          Selection Fund, utilities will be divided according to their services,
          for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and gas, electric and
          telephone will each be considered a separate industry;

     2.   (For each Fund except the International Bond Fund) with respect to 75%
          of the Fund's assets, invest more than 5% of the Fund's assets (taken

          securities of any single issuer or own more than 10% of the
          outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, in each case other
          than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
          agencies or instrumentalities;

          total assets and 33 1/3% of the Money Market Fund's total assets;

          obligations (including repurchase agreements) and publicly distributed

          real estate investment trusts) that invest in real estate or interests
          therein. The Real Estate Fund may not buy or sell real estate;
          however, this prohibition does not apply to the purchase or sale of
          (i) securities which are secured by real estate, (ii) securities
          representing interests in real estate, (iii) securities of companies
          operating in the real estate industry including real estate investment

     1.   Borrow money or enter into reverse repurchase agreements except that
          the Fund may (i) borrow money or enter into reverse repurchase
          agreements for temporary purposes in amounts exceeding 5% of its total
          assets and (ii) borrow money for the purpose of meeting redemption
          requests, in amounts (when aggregated with amounts borrowed under

          borrowings permitted by investment limitation 1 above; or

     3.   Issue any senior securities (as such term is defined in Section 18(f)
          of the 1940 Act) except to the extent the activities permitted by
          other enumerated investment limitations for the Company above may be
          deemed to give rise to a senior security.

                                       26
<PAGE>

     Additional investment restrictions adopted by each Fund of the Company,
which may be changed by the Board of Directors, provide that a Fund may not:

     1.   Invest more than 15% of its net assets (10% of net assets for the
          Money Market Fund) (taken at market value at the time of purchase) in
          securities which cannot be readily resold because of legal or
          contractual restrictions and (in the case of International Bond Fund
          and Short Term Treasury Fund only) which are not otherwise marketable;

     2.   (For each Fund except the International Bond Fund and Short Term
          Treasury Fund) own more than 10% (taken at market value at the time of
          purchase) of the outstanding voting securities of any single issuer;

     3.   (For each Fund except Short Term Treasury Fund) purchase or sell
          interests in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development
          plans or leases); or

     4.   Invest in other investment companies except as permitted under the
          1940 Act.

     In addition, the International Bond Fund may not with respect to 50% of the
Fund's assets, invest more than 5% of the Fund's assets (taken at a market value
at the time of purchase) in the outstanding securities of any single issuer or
own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, in
each case other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year.

     If a percentage limitation is satisfied at the time of investment, a later
increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from a change in the value of
a Fund's investments will not constitute a violation of such limitation, except
that any borrowing by a Fund that exceeds the fundamental investment limitations
stated above must be reduced to meet such limitations within the period required
by the 1940 Act (currently three days). Otherwise, a Fund may continue to hold a
security even though it causes the Fund to exceed a percentage limitation
because of fluctuation in the value of the Fund's assets.

                         TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITION

     During periods of unusual economic or market conditions or for temporary
defensive purposes or liquidity, each Fund (other than the Index 500 Fund) may
invest without limit in cash and in U.S. dollar-denominated high quality money
market and other short-term instruments.  These investments may result in a
lower yield than would be available from investments with a lower quality or
longer term.

     Shareholder and Trustee Liability. Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of
a business trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for
the obligations of the trust. However, the Trust's and Framlington's Declaration
of Trust, as amended, each provide that shareholders shall not be subject to any
personal liability in connection with the assets of the Trust or Framlington for
the acts or obligations of the Trust or Framlington, and that every note, bond,
contract, order or other undertaking made by the Trust or Framlington shall
contain a provision to the effect that the shareholders are not personally
liable thereunder. Each Declaration of Trust, as amended, provides for
indemnification out of the trust property of any shareholder held personally
liable solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not
because of his or her acts or omissions or some other reason. Each Declaration
of Trust, as amended, also provides that the Trust and Framlington shall, upon
request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any
act or obligation of the Trust or Framlington, and shall satisfy any judgment
thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder's incurring financial loss on account
of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Trust or
Framlington itself would be unable to meet its obligations.

     Each Declaration of Trust, as amended, further provides that all persons
having any claim against the Trustees, the Trust or Framlington shall look
solely to the trust property for payment; that no Trustee of the Trust or
Framlington shall be personally liable for or on account of any contract, debt,
tort, claim, damage, judgment or

                                       31

decree arising out of or connected with the administration or preservation of
the trust property or the conduct of any business of the Trust or Framlington;
and that no Trustee shall be personally liable to any person for any action or
failure to act except by reason of his own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of his duties as a trustee. With the exception
stated, each Declaration of Trust, as amended, provides that a Trustee is
entitled to be indemnified against all liabilities and expenses reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or disposition of any proceeding
in which he may be involved or with which he may be threatened by reason of
being or having been a Trustee, and that the Trustees will indemnify officers,
representatives and employees of the Trust and Framlington to the same extent
that Trustees are entitled to indemnification.

               INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS

     Investment Advisor, World and Sub-Advisor. The Advisor of each Fund (other
than the Index 500 Fund and the International Equity Fund) is Munder Capital
Management, a Delaware general partnership. The Advisor replaced Woodbridge
Capital Management, Inc. ("Woodbridge") as investment advisor to the investment
portfolios of the Trust and replaced Munder Capital Management, Inc. as the
investment advisor to the investment portfolios of the Company on January 31,
1995, upon the closing agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") among Old MCM,
Comerica, Woodbridge and WAM, pursuant to which Old MCM contributed its
investment advisory business and Comerica contributed the investment advisor
business of its indirect subsidiaries, Woodbridge and World Asset Management, to
the Advisor. The general partners of the Advisor are WAM, WAM II, Old MCM and
Munder Group LLC. WAM and WAM II are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Comerica Bank-
Ann Arbor, which in turn. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated,
a publicly-held bank holding company.

     The investment advisor for the Index 500 Fund and the International Equity
Fund is World Asset Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company.
World is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor.

     The Funds have entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the "Advisory
Agreements"), dated July 2, 1998, with the Advisor or World which have been
approved by the shareholders.

     Under the terms of the Advisory Agreements, the Advisor or World furnishes
continuing investment supervision to the Funds and is responsible for the
management of the Funds' portfolios. The responsibility for making decisions to
buy, sell or hold a particular security rests with the Advisor or World, subject
to review by the Trust's and the Company's Boards of Directors/Trustees. Under
the terms of the Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and Framlington, the
Advisor furnishes overall investment management for the Framlington Funds,
provides research and credit analysis, oversees the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities by the Sub-Advisor, maintains books and records with
respect to the Funds' securities transactions and provides periodic and special
reports to the Board of Trustees as requested.

     The Advisory Agreements will continue in effect for a period of two years
from their effective dates. If not sooner terminated, each Advisory Agreement
will continue in effect for successive one year periods thereafter, provided
that each continuance is specifically approved annually by (a) the vote of a
majority of the Boards of Directors/Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory
Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act), cast in person at
a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) either (i)
the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the affected
Fund, or (ii) the vote of a majority of the Boards of Directors/Trustees. Each
Advisory Agreement is terminable with respect to a Fund by vote of the Boards of
Directors/Trustees, or by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund, at any time without penalty, on 60 days' written notice
to the Advisor or World. The Advisor or World may also terminate its advisory
relationship with respect to a Fund without penalty on 90 days' written notice
to the Trust, Framlington or the Company, as applicable. Each Advisory Agreement
terminates automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940
Act).

wholly owned subsidiary of Framlington Holdings Limited which is, in turn, owned
49% by the Advisor and 51% by Credit Commercial de France S.A., a French banking
corporation listed on the Societe des Bourses Francaises.

     The Framlington Funds have entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement, dated
July 2, 1998, with the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor which has been approved by
the shareholders of the Framlington Funds. Under the terms of the Sub-Advisory
Agreement, the Sub-Advisor provides sub-advisory services to the Framlington
Funds. Subject to the supervision of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor is responsible
for the management of each Fund's portfolio, including decisions regarding
purchases and sales of portfolio securities by the Framlington Funds. The Sub-
Advisor is also responsible for arranging the execution of portfolio management
decisions, including the selection of brokers to execute trades and the
negotiation of related brokerage commissions.

     The Sub-Advisory Agreement, with respect to each Fund, will continue in
effect with respect to each Fund for a period of two years from its effective
date. If not sooner terminated, the Sub-Advisory Agreement will continue in
effect for successive one year periods thereafter, provided that each
continuance is specifically approved annually by (a) the vote of a majority of
the Board of Trustees who are not parties to the Sub-Advisory Agreement or
interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act), cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on approval, and (b) either (i) with respect to
a Fund, the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that
Fund, or (ii) the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees. The Sub-Advisory
Agreement is terminable by vote of the Board of Trustees, or, with respect to a
Fund, by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that
Fund, at any time without penalty, on 60 days' written notice to the Sub-
Advisor, or by the Advisor on 90 days' written notice to the Sub-Advisor. The
Sub-Advisor may also terminate its sub-advisory relationship with a Fund without
penalty on 90 days' written notice to Framlington. The Sub-Advisory Agreement
terminates automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940
Act).

     Distribution Agreements. The Trust, Framlington and the Company have
entered into distribution agreements, under which the Distributor, as agent,
sells shares of each Fund on a continuous basis. The Distributor

                                       35
<PAGE>

has agreed to use appropriate efforts to solicit orders for the purchase of
shares of each Fund, although it is not obligated to sell any particular amount
of shares. The Distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing
prospectuses to persons who are not holders of shares of the Funds (excluding
preparation and printing expenses necessary for the continued registration of
the shares) and of printing and distributing all sales literature. The
Distributor's principal offices are located at 60 State Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109.

     Distribution Services Arrangements - Class A, Class B and Class C Shares.
Each Fund has adopted a Service Plan with respect to its Class A Shares pursuant
to which it uses its assets to finance activities relating to the provision of
certain shareholder services. Under the Service and Distribution Plans for Class
A Shares, the Distributor is paid an annual service fee at the rate of up to
0.25% of the value of average daily net assets of the Class A Shares of each
Fund. Each Fund has also adopted Service and Distribution Plans with respect to
its Class B and Class C Shares, pursuant to which it uses its assets to finance
activities relating to the distribution of its shares to investors and provision
of certain shareholder services. Under the Service and Distribution Plans for
Class B and Class C Shares, the Distributor is paid an annual service fee of up
to 0.25% of the value of average daily net assets of the Class B and Class C
Shares of each Fund and an annual distribution fee at the rate of up to 0.75% of
the value of average daily net assets of the Class B and Class C Shares of each
Fund.

     Under the terms of the Service and Distribution Plans (collectively, the
"Plans"), each Plan continues from year to year, provided such continuance is
approved annually by vote of the Boards of Directors/Trustees, including a
majority of the Directors/Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust,
Framlington or the Company, as applicable, and who have no direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of that Plan (the "Non-Interested Plan
Directors"). The Plans may not be amended to increase the amount to be spent for
the services provided by the Distributor without shareholder approval, and all
amendments of the Plans also must be approved by the Directors/Trustees in the
manner described above. Each Plan may be terminated at any time, without
penalty, by vote of a majority of the Non-Interested Plan Directors or by a vote
of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act)
of the relevant class of the respective Fund on not more than 30 days' written
notice to any other party to the Plan. Pursuant to each Plan, the Distributor
will provide the Boards of Directors/Trustees periodic reports of amounts
expended under the Plan and the purpose for which such expenditures were made.

     The Directors/Trustees have determined that the Plans will benefit the
Trust, Framlington, the Company and their respective shareholders by (i)
providing an incentive for broker or bank personnel to provide continuous
shareholder servicing after the time of sale; (ii) retaining existing accounts;
(iii) facilitating portfolio management flexibility through continued cash flow
into the Funds; and (iv) maintaining a competitive sales structure in the mutual
fund industry.

     With respect to Class B and Class C Shares of each Fund, the Distributor
expects to pay sales commissions to dealers authorized to sell a Fund's Class B
and Class C Shares at the time of sale. The Distributor will use its own funds
(which may be borrowed) to pay such commissions pending reimbursement by the
relevant Plan. In addition, the Advisor may use its own resources to make
payments to the Distributor or dealers authorized to sell the Funds' shares to
support their sales efforts.

     Shareholder Servicing Arrangements - Class K Shares. As stated in each
Fund's Prospectus, Class K Shares are sold to investors through institutions
which enter into Shareholder Servicing Agreements with the Trust, Framlington or
the Company to provide support services to their Customers who beneficially own
Class K Shares in consideration of the Funds' payment of not more than 0.25% (on
an annualized basis) of the average daily net assets of the Class K Shares
beneficially owned by the Customers.

                                       41
<PAGE>

     Services provided by institutions under their service agreements may
include: (i) aggregating and processing purchase and redemption requests for
Class K Shares from Customers and placing net purchase and redemption orders
with the Distributor; (ii) providing Customers with a service that invests the
assets of their accounts in Class K Shares pursuant to specific or pre-
authorized instructions; (iii) processing dividend payments on behalf of
Customers; (iv) providing information periodically to Customers showing their
positions in Class K Shares; (v) arranging for bank wires; (vi) responding to
Customer inquiries relating to the services performed by the institutions; (vii)
providing subaccounting with respect to Class K Shares beneficially owned by
Customers or the information necessary for subaccounting; (viii) if required by
law, forwarding shareholder communications from the Trust, Framlington or the
Company (such as proxies, shareholder reports, annual and semi-annual financial
statements and dividend, distribution and tax notices) to Customers; (ix)
forwarding to Customers proxy statements and proxies containing any proposals
regarding the Trust's, Framlington's or the Company's arrangements with
institutions; and (x) providing such other similar services as the Trust,
Framlington or the Company may reasonably request to the extent the institutions
are permitted to do so under applicable statutes, rules and regulations.

     Pursuant to the Trust's, Framlington's and the Company's agreements with
such institutions, the Boards of Directors/Trustees will review, at least
quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended under Trust's, Framlington's
and the Company's agreements with institutions and the purposes for which the
expenditures were made. In addition, the arrangements with institutions must be
approved annually by a majority of the Boards of Directors/Trustees, including a
majority of the Directors/Trustees who are not "interested persons" as defined
in the 1940 Act, and have no direct or indirect financial interest in such
arrangements.

     The Boards of Directors/Trustees have approved the arrangements with
institutions based on information provided by the service contractors that there
is a reasonable likelihood that the arrangements will benefit the Funds and
their shareholders by affording the Funds greater flexibility in connection with
the servicing of the accounts of the beneficial owners of their shares in an
efficient manner.


     Administrator. State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street" or the
"Administrator"), whose principal business address is 225 Franklin Street,
Boston, Massachusetts, 02110, serves as administrator for the Trust, Framlington
and the Company pursuant to administration agreements (each, an "Administration
Agreement"). State Street has agreed to maintain office facilities for the
Trust, Framlington and the Company; oversee the computation of each Fund's net
asset value, net income and realized capital gains, if any; furnish statistical
and research data, clerical services, and stationery and office supplies;
prepare and file various reports with the appropriate regulatory agencies; and
prepare various materials required by the SEC. State Street may enter into an
agreement with one or more third parties pursuant to which such third parties
will provide administrative services on behalf of the Funds.

     Each Administration Agreement provides that the Administrator performing
services thereunder shall not be liable under the Agreement except for its bad
faith, negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties and
obligations thereunder.

     Prior to November 1, 1997, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
("Investor Services Group") located at 53 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts

     For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, administration fees of State
Street accrued were:

     Custodian. State Street serves as the custodian (the "Custodian") to the
Funds pursuant to custodian agreements (each, a "Custodian Contract") between
State Street and the Company, the Trust and Framlington, respectively. State
Street is also the custodian with respect to the custody of foreign securities
held by the Funds. State Street has in turn entered into additional agreements
with financial institutions located in foreign countries with respect to the
custody of such securities. Under the Custodian Contracts, State Street (i)
maintains a separate account in the name of each Fund, (ii) holds and transfers
portfolio securities on account of each Fund, (iii) accepts receipts and makes
disbursements of money on behalf of each Fund, (iv) collects and receives all
income and other payments and distributions on account of each Fund's securities
and (v) makes periodic reports to the Boards of Directors/Trustees concerning
the Funds' operations.

     Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent. Investor Services Group serves as
the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds pursuant to transfer
agency agreements with the Trust, Framlington and the Company, respectively,
under which Investor Services Group (i) issues and redeems shares of each Fund,
(ii) addresses and mails all communications by each Fund to its record owners,
including reports to shareholders, dividend and distribution notices and proxy
materials for its meetings of shareholders, (iii) maintains shareholder
accounts, (iv) responds to correspondence by shareholders of the Funds and (v)
makes periodic reports to the Boards Directors/Trustees concerning the
operations of each Fund.

     Banking Laws. As stated in the Funds' Class K Shares Prospectus, Class K
Shares of the Funds are sold to customers of banks and other institutions. Such
banks and institutions may include Comerica Incorporated (a publicly-held bank
holding company), its affiliates and subsidiaries ("Comerica") and other
institutions that have entered into agreements with the Company, the Trust and
Framlington providing for shareholder services for their customers.

     Banking laws and regulations currently prohibit a bank holding company
registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any bank or
non-bank affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing, controlling or
distributing the shares of a registered, open-end investment company
continuously engaged in the issuance of its

                                       43
<PAGE>


shares, and prohibit banks generally from underwriting securities, but such
banking laws and regulations do not prohibit such a holding company or affiliate
or banks generally from acting as investment advisor, administrator, transfer
agent or custodian to such an investment company, or from purchasing shares of
such a company as agent for and upon the order of customers. The Advisor,
[World] and State Street are subject to such banking laws and regulations.

     The Advisor, [World] and State Street believe they may perform the services
for the Trust, Framlington and the Company contemplated by their respective
agreements with each of them without violation of applicable banking laws and
regulations. It should be noted, however, that there have been no cases deciding
whether bank and non-bank subsidiaries of a registered bank holding company may
perform services comparable to those that are to be performed by these
companies, and future changes in either Federal or state statutes and
regulations relating to permissible activities of banks and their subsidiaries
or affiliates, as well as future judicial or administrative decisions or
interpretations of current and future statutes and regulations, could prevent
these companies from continuing to perform certain services for the Funds.

     Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of such companies in connection with the provision of
services on behalf of the Trust, Framlington or the Company, the Trust,
Framlington or the Company might be required to alter materially or discontinue
the arrangements with the institutions and change the method of operations. It
is not anticipated, however, that any change in the Funds' method of operations
would affect the net asset value per share of the Funds or result in a financial
loss to any shareholder of the Funds.

     It should be noted that future changes in either Federal or state statutes
and regulations relating to permissible activities of banks and their
subsidiaries or affiliates, as well as future judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations of current and future statutes and regulations,
could prevent Comerica and certain other institutions from continuing to perform
certain services for Class K shares of the Funds.

     Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of Comerica and/or other institutions in connection with
the provision of services on behalf of Class K shares of the Funds, the Trust,
Framlington or the Company might be required to alter materially or discontinue
the arrangements with the institutions and change the method of operations with
respect to Comerica and certain other institutions. It is not anticipated,
however, that any change in the Funds' method of operations would affect the net
asset value per share of the Funds or result in a financial loss to any holder
of Class K shares of the Funds.


     Other Information Pertaining to Administration, Custodian and Transfer
Agency Agreements. Except as noted in this SAI the Funds' service contractors
bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their services and the
Funds bear the expenses incurred in their operations. These expenses include,
but are not limited to, fees paid to the Advisor, World, Sub-Advisor,
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent; fees and expenses of officers and
Boards of Directors/Trustees; taxes; interest; legal and auditing fees;
brokerage fees and commissions; certain fees and expenses in registering and
qualifying the Fund and its shares for distribution under Federal and state
securities laws; expenses of preparing prospectuses and statements of additional
information and of printing and distributing prospectuses and statements of
additional information to existing shareholders; the expense of reports to
shareholders, shareholders' meetings and proxy solicitations; fidelity bond and
directors' and officers' liability insurance premiums; and the expense of using
independent pricing services. Any general expenses of the Trust, Framlington or
the Company that are not readily identifiable as belonging to a particular
investment portfolio of the Trust, Framlington or the Company are allocated
among all investment portfolios of the Trust, Framlington or the Company by or
under the direction of the Boards of Directors/Trustees in a manner that the
Boards determine to be fair and equitable. The Advisor, World, Sub-Advisor,
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent may voluntarily waive all or a
portion of their respective fees from time to time.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

     Subject to the general supervision of the Boards of Directors/Trustees, the
Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor, as the case may be, makes decisions with
respect to and places orders for all purchases and sales of portfolio securities
for the Funds.

     Transactions on U.S. stock exchanges involve the payment of negotiated
brokerage commissions. On exchanges on which commissions are negotiated, the
cost of transactions may vary among different brokers. Transactions on foreign
stock exchanges involve payment for brokerage commissions which are generally
fixed.


     Over-the-counter issues, including corporate debt and government
securities, are normally traded through dealers on a "net" basis (i.e., without
commission), or directly with the issuer. With respect to over-the-counter
transactions, the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor, as the case may be, will
normally deal directly with dealers who make a market in the instruments except
in those circumstances where more favorable prices and execution are available
elsewhere. The cost of foreign and domestic securities purchased from
underwriters includes an underwriting commission or concession, and the prices
at which securities are purchased from and sold to dealers include a dealer's
mark-up or mark-down.

     The Funds may participate, if and when practicable, in bidding for the
purchase of portfolio securities directly from an issuer in order to take
advantage of the lower purchase price available to members of a bidding group.
The Funds will engage in this practice, however, only when the Advisor, World or
the Sub-Advisor, as the case may be, believes such practice to be in the Funds'
interests.

     Since the Money Market Funds will invest only in short-term debt
instruments, their annual portfolio turnover rates will be relatively high, but
brokerage commissions are normally not paid on money market instruments, and
portfolio turnover is not expected to have a material effect on the net
investment income of a Money Market Fund. The portfolio turnover rate of a Fund
is calculated by dividing the lesser of a Fund's annual sales or purchases of
portfolio securities (exclusive of purchases or sales of securities whose
maturities at the time of acquisition were thirteen months or less for the Money
Market Funds or one year or less for the Equity and Bond Funds) by the monthly
average value of the securities held by the Fund during the year. The Funds may
engage in short-term trading to achieve their investment objectives. Portfolio
turnover may vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular year.


     [Each Fund's portfolio turnover rate is included in the prospectuses under
the section entitled "Financial Highlights." For the fiscal year ended June 30,
1999, the portfolio turnover rate for the Bond Fund and the Intermediate Bond
Fund was _____% and ______%, respectively.  The portfolio turnover of the Bond
Fund and the Intermediate Bond Fund was affected by fluctuating interest rate
conditions which at times required increased dispositions and acquisitions of
securities to maintain each Fund's maturity structure.]

     In its Advisory Agreements, the Advisor and World and, in the case of the
Framlington Funds, the Sub-Advisor pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement each
agree to select broker-dealers in accordance with guidelines established by the
Boards of Directors/Trustees from time to time and in accordance with applicable
law. In assessing the terms available for any transaction, the Advisor, World or
the Sub-Advisor, as the case may be, shall consider all factors it deems
relevant, including the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the
security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker-dealer,
and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, both for the specific
transaction and on a continuing basis. In addition, the Advisory and Sub-
Advisory Agreements authorize the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor, as the case
may be, subject to the prior approval of the Boards of Directors/Trustees, to
cause the Funds to pay a broker-dealer which furnishes brokerage and research
services a higher commission than that which might be charged by another broker-
dealer for effecting the same transaction, provided that the Advisor, World or
the Sub-Advisor, as the case may be, determines in good faith that such
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either the
particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Advisor, World or
the Sub-Advisor to the Funds. Such brokerage and research services might consist
of reports and statistics

                                       45
<PAGE>

on specific companies or industries, general summaries of groups of bonds and
their comparative earnings and yields, or broad overviews of the securities
markets and the economy.


     Supplementary research information so received is in addition to, and not
in lieu of, services required to be performed by the Advisor, World or the Sub-
Advisor, as the case may be, and does not reduce the advisory fees payable to
the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor by the Funds. It is possible that certain
of the supplementary research or other services received will primarily benefit
one or more other investment companies or other accounts for which investment
discretion is exercised. Conversely, a Fund may be the primary beneficiary of
the research or services received as a result of portfolio transactions effected
for such other account or investment company.

Funds. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997:

     Portfolio securities will not be purchased from or sold to the Advisor,
World, Sub-Advisor, Distributor or any affiliated person (as defined in the 1940
Act) of the foregoing entities except to the extent permitted by SEC exemptive
order or by applicable law.

     Investment decisions for each Fund and for other investment accounts
managed by the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor are made independently of each
other in the light of differing conditions. However, the same investment
decision may be made for two or more of such accounts. In such cases,
simultaneous transactions are inevitable. Purchases or sales are then averaged
as to price and allocated as to amount in a manner deemed equitable to each such
account. While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect on
the price or value of the security as far as a Fund is concerned, in other cases
it is believed to be beneficial to a Fund. To the extent permitted by law, the
Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor, as the case may be, may aggregate the
securities to be sold or purchased for a Fund with those to be sold or purchased
for other investment companies or accounts in executing transactions.

     A Fund will not purchase securities while the Advisor, World, the Sub-
Advisor or any affiliated person (as defined in the 1940 Act) is a member of any
underwriting or selling group for such securities except pursuant to procedures
adopted by the Trust's or Framlington Board of Trustees or the Company's Board
of Directors in accordance with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act.

     The Trust, the Company and Framlington are required to identify the
securities of their regular brokers or dealers (as defined in Rule 10b-1 under
the 1940) Act or their parent companies held by them as of the close of their
most recent fiscal year and state the value of such holdings. As of June 30,
1999, the ______Fund held securities of _______ valued at $_______

                ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

     Purchases. As described in the Prospectuses, shares of the Funds may be
purchased in a number of different ways. Such alternative sales arrangements
permit an investor to choose the method of purchasing shares that is most
beneficial depending on the amount of the purchase, the length of time the
investor expects to hold shares and other relevant circumstances. An investor
may place orders directly through the Transfer Agent or the Distributor or
through arrangements with his/her authorized broker.

*   There is no initial sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more of Class
A Shares of the Fund; however, a CDSC in the amount of the Discount to Selected
Dealers shown above will be imposed on the lower of the original purchase price
or the net asset value of the shares at the time of redemption if such shares
are redeemed within one year after the date of purchase.

     The Distributor may pay the entire commission to dealers. If that occurs,
the dealer may be considered an "underwriter" under Federal securities laws.

     Retirement Plans. Shares of any of the Funds may be purchased in connection
with various types of tax deferred retirement plans, including individual
retirement accounts ("IRAs"), qualified plans, deferred compensation for public
schools and charitable organizations (403(b) plans) and simplified employee
pension IRAs. An individual or organization considering the establishment of a
retirement plan should consult with an attorney and/or an accountant with
respect to the terms and tax aspects of the plan. [A $10.00 annual custodial fee
is also charged on IRAs.] This custodial fee is due by December 15 of each year
and may be paid by check or shares liquidated from a shareholder's account.

     Redemptions. The redemption price for Fund shares is the net asset value
next determined after receipt of the redemption request in proper order. The
redemption proceeds will be reduced by the amount of any applicable contingent
deferred sales charge ("CDSC").

     Contingent Deferred Sales Charge - Class B Shares. Class B Shares redeemed
within six years of purchase are subject to a CDSC. The CDSC is based on the
original net asset value at the time of investment or the net asset value at the
time of redemption, whichever is lower.

     The CDSC Schedule for Class B Shares of the Trust Funds purchased before
June 27, 1995 is set forth below.  The Prospectuses describe the CDSC Schedule
for Class B Shares of Funds of the Trust, the Company and Framlington purchased
after June 27, 1995.

     CDSC Waivers - Class B Shares of the Trust Funds Purchased on or Before
June 27, 1995.  The CDSC will be waived with respect to Class B Shares of the
Trust Funds purchased on or before June 27, 1995 in the following circumstances:

     (1)  total or partial redemptions made within one year following the death
          or disability of a shareholder or registered joint owner;

     (2)  minimum required distributions made in connection with an IRA or other
          retirement plan following attainment of age 59 1/2; and

     (3)  redemptions pursuant to a Fund's right to liquidate a shareholder's
          account involuntarily.

     CDSC Waivers - Class B Shares of the Company Funds Purchased on or before
June 27, 1995. The CDSC will be waived on the following types of redemptions
with respect to Class B Shares of the Company Funds purchased on or before June
27, 1995:

     (1)  redemptions by investors who have invested a lump sum amount of $1
          million or more in the Fund;

     (2)  redemptions by the officers, directors, and employees of the Advisor
          or the Distributor and such persons' immediate families;

                                       49
<PAGE>

     (3)  dealers or brokers who have a sales agreement with the Distributor,
          for their own accounts, or for retirement plans for their employees or
          sold to registered representatives or full time employees (and their
          families) that certify to the Distributor at the time of purchase that
          such purchase is for their own account (or for the benefit of their
          families);

     (4)  involuntary redemptions effected pursuant to the Fund's right to
          liquidate shareholder accounts having an aggregate net asset value of
          less than $250; and

     (5)  redemptions the proceeds of which are reinvested in the Fund within 90
          days of the redemption.

     Contingent Deferred Sales Charge - Class A and Class C Shares. The
Prospectuses describe the CDSC for Class A or C Shares of the Funds of the
Trust, the Company and Framlington purchased after June 27, 1995.

     Class A Shares of the Trust Funds purchased on or before June 27, 1995
without a sales charge by reason of a purchase of $500,000 or more are subject
to a CDSC of 1.00% of the lower of the original purchase price or the net asset
value at the time of redemption if such shares are redeemed within two years of
the date of purchase. Class A Shares of the Trust Funds purchased on or before
June 27, 1995 that are redeemed will not be subject to the CDSC to the extent
that the value of such shares represents: (1) reinvestment of dividends or other
distributions; (2) Class A Shares redeemed more than two years after their
purchase; (3) a minimum required distribution made in connection with IRA or
other retirement plans following attainment of age 59 1/2; or (4) total or
partial redemptions made within one year following the death or disability of a
shareholder or registered joint owner.

     No CDSC is imposed to the extent that the current net asset value of the
shares redeemed does not exceed (a) the current net asset value of shares
purchased through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions plus
(b) the current net asset value of shares purchased more than one year prior to
the redemption, plus (c) increases in the net asset value of the shareholder's
shares above the purchase payments made during the preceding one year.

     The holding period of Class A or Class C Shares of a Fund acquired through
an exchange of the corresponding class of shares of the Munder Money Market Fund
(which are available only by exchange of Class A or Class C Shares of the Fund,
as the case may be) and the Company Funds, the Framlington Funds and the non-
money market funds of the Trust will be calculated from the date that the Class
A or Class C Shares of the Fund were initially purchased.

     In determining whether a CDSC is applicable to a redemption, the
calculation will be made in a manner that results in the lowest possible rate.
It will be assumed that the redemption is made first of amounts representing all
Class A Shares on which a front-end sales charge has been assessed; then of
shares acquired pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends and distributions; and
then of amounts representing the cost of shares purchased one year or more prior
to the redemption.

     Other Redemption Information. Redemption proceeds are normally paid in
cash; however, each Fund may pay the redemption price in whole or part by a
distribution in kind of securities from the portfolio of the particular Fund, in
lieu of cash, in conformity with applicable rules of the SEC. If shares are
redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder might incur transaction costs in
converting the assets into cash. The Funds are obligated to redeem shares solely
in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of its net assets during any 90-day
period for any one shareholder.

     The Funds reserve the right to suspend or postpone redemptions during any
period when: (i) trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") is
restricted by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC; (ii) the NYSE is
closed other than for customary weekend and holiday closings; (iii) the SEC has
by order permitted such suspension or postponement for the protection of the
shareholders; or (iv) an emergency, as determined by the SEC, exists, making
disposal of portfolio securities or valuation of net assets of a Fund not
reasonably practicable.

     The Funds may involuntarily redeem an investor's shares if the net asset
value of such shares is less than $250; provided that involuntary redemptions
will not result from fluctuations in the value of an investor's shares. A notice
of redemption, sent by first-class mail to the investor's address of record,
will fix a date not less than 30 days

                                       50
<PAGE>

after the mailing date, and shares will be redeemed at the net asset value at
the close of business on that date unless sufficient additional shares are
purchased to bring the aggregate account value up to $250 or more. A check for
the redemption proceeds payable to the investor will be mailed to the investor
at the address of record.

     Exchanges. In addition to the method of exchanging shares described in the
Funds' Prospectuses, a shareholder exchanging at least $1,000 of shares (for
which certificates have not been issued) and who has authorized expedited
exchanges on the application form filed with the Transfer Agent may exchange
shares by telephoning the Funds at (800) 438-5789. Telephone exchange
instructions must be received by the Transfer Agent by 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.
The Funds, Distributor and Transfer Agent reserve the right at any time to
suspend or terminate the expedited exchange procedure or to impose a fee for
this service. During periods of unusual economic or market changes, shareholders
may experience difficulties or delays in effecting telephone exchanges. Neither
the Funds nor the Transfer Agent will be responsible for any loss, damages,
expense or cost arising out of any telephone exchanges effected upon
instructions believed by them to be genuine. The Transfer Agent has instituted
procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to insure that exchange
instructions communicated by telephone are genuine, and could be liable for
losses caused by unauthorized or fraudulent instructions in the absence of such
procedures. The procedures currently include a recorded verification of the
shareholder's name, social security number and account number, followed by the
mailing of a statement confirming the transaction, which is sent to the address
of record.

                                NET ASSET VALUE

     Money Market Funds. The value of the portfolio securities of the Money
Market Funds is calculated using the amortized cost method of valuation. Under
this method the market value of an instrument is approximated by amortizing the
difference between the acquisition cost and value at maturity of the instrument
on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the instrument. The effect
of changes in the market value of a security as a result of fluctuating interest
rates is not taken into account. The market value of debt securities usually
reflects yields generally available on securities of similar quality. When such
yields decline, market values can be expected to increase, and when yields
increase, market values can be expected to decline.

     As indicated, the amortized cost method of valuation may result in the
value of a security being higher or lower than its market price, the price a
Fund would receive if the security were sold prior to maturity. The Boards of
Directors/Trustees have established procedures reasonably designed, taking into
account current market conditions and the Funds' investment objectives, for the
purpose of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share for each
Money Market Fund for purposes of sales and redemptions. These procedures
include a review by the Boards of Directors/Trustees, at such intervals as they
deem appropriate, of the extent of any deviation of net asset value per share,
based on available market quotations, from the $1.00 amortized cost per share.
Should that deviation exceed 1/2 of 1% for a Fund, the Boards of
Directors/Trustees will promptly consider whether any and, if any, what action
should be initiated. If the Board believes that the extent of any deviation from
a Money Market Fund's $1.00 amortized cost price per share may result in
material dilution of other unfair results to new or existing investors, it will
take such steps as it considers appropriate to eliminate or reduce any such
dilution or unfair results to the extent reasonably practicable. Such action may
include redeeming shares in kind, selling portfolio securities prior to
maturity, reducing or withholding dividends, shortening the average portfolio
maturity, reducing the number of outstanding shares without monetary
consideration, and utilizing a net asset value per share as determined by using
available market quotations.

     Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, each of the Money Market Funds
will maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity appropriate to its
objective of maintaining a stable net asset value per share, provided that such
Funds will not purchase any security with a remaining maturity (within the
meaning of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act) greater than 397 days (securities
subject to repurchase agreements, variable and floating rate securities, and
certain other securities may bear longer maturities), nor maintain a dollar-
weighted average portfolio maturity which exceeds 90 days. In addition, the
Funds may acquire only U.S. dollar denominated obligations that present minimal
credit risks and that are "First Tier Securities" at the time of investment.
First Tier Securities are those that are rated in the highest rating category by
at least two nationally recognized security rating organizations NRSROs or by
one if it is the only NRSRO rating such obligation or, if unrated, determined to
be of comparable

                                       51
<PAGE>

quality. A security is deemed to be rated if the issuer has any security
outstanding of comparable priority and security which has received a short-term
rating by an NRSRO. The Advisor will determine that an obligation presents
minimal credit risks or that unrated investments are of comparable quality, in
accordance with guidelines established by the Board of Directors/Trustees. There
can be no assurance that a constant net asset value will be maintained for each
Money Market Fund.

     All Funds. [Securities traded on a national securities exchange or on
NASDAQ for which there were no sales on the date of valuation and securities
traded on other over-the-counter markets, including listed securities for which
the primary market is believed to be over-the-counter, are valued at the mean
between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices. Options will be valued at
market value or fair value if no market exists. Futures contracts will be valued
in like manner, except that open futures contract sales will be valued using the
closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the most recently
quoted asked price. Restricted securities and securities and assets for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value by the
Advisor under the supervision of the Boards of Directors/Trustees. Debt
securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost, unless the Boards of Directors/Trustees determines that such valuation
does not constitute fair value at that time. Under this method, such securities
are valued initially at cost on the date of purchase (or the 61st day before
maturity).] In determining the approximate market value of portfolio
investments, the Trust, Framlington or the Company may employ outside
organizations, which may use matrix or formula methods that take into
consideration market indices, matrices, yield curves and other specific
adjustments. This may result in the securities being valued at a price different
from the price that would have been determined had the matrix or formula methods
not been used. All cash, receivables and current payables are carried on the
Trust's, Framlington's or the Company's books at their face value. Other assets,
if any, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the
supervision of the Board members.

In-Kind Purchases

     With the exception of the Real Estate Fund, payment for shares may, in the
discretion of the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor, be made in the form of
securities that are permissible investments for the Funds as described in the
Prospectuses. Shares of the Real Estate Fund will not be issued for
consideration other than cash. For further information about this form of
payment please contact the Transfer Agent. In connection with an in-kind
securities payment, a Fund will require, among other things, that the securities
(a) meet the investment objectives and policies of the Fund; (b) are acquired
for investment and not for resale; (c) are liquid securities that are not
restricted as to transfer either by law or liquidity of markets; (d) have a
value that is readily ascertainable by a listing on a nationally recognized
securities exchange; and (e) are valued on the day of purchase in accordance
with the pricing methods used by the Fund and that the Fund receive satisfactory
assurances that (i) it will have good and marketable title to the securities
received by it; (ii) that the securities are in proper form for transfer to the
Fund; and (iii) adequate information will be provided concerning the basis and
other tax matters relating to the securities.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Yield of the Money Market Funds

     The Money Market Funds' current and effective yields are computed using
standardized methods required by the SEC. The annualized yield is computed by:
(a) determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical account having a
balance of one share at the beginning of a seven-calendar day period; (b)
dividing the net change by the value of the account at the beginning of the
period to obtain the base period return; and (c) annualizing the results (i.e.,
multiplying the base period return by 365/7). The net change in the value of the
account reflects the value of additional shares purchased with dividends
declared and all dividends declared on both the original share and such
additional shares, but does not include realized gains and losses or unrealized
appreciation and depreciation. Compound effective yields are computed by adding
1 to the base period return (calculated as described above), raising the sum to
a power equal to 365/7 and subtracting 1. Based on the foregoing computations,
the table below shows the annualized yields for all share classes of the Cash
Investment, Money

     In addition, a standardized "tax-equivalent yield" may be quoted for the
Tax-Free Money Market Fund, which is computed by: (a) dividing the portion of
the Fund's yield (as calculated above) that is exempt from Federal income tax by
1 minus a stated Federal income tax rate; and (b) adding the figure resulting
from (a) above to that portion, if any, of the yield that is not exempt from
Federal income tax. For the seven-day period ended June 30, 1999, the tax-
equivalent yield for Class A, Class K and Class Y Shares of the Tax-Free Money
Market Fund was ___% (Class A), ____% (Class K) and ____% (Class Y) calculated
for all share classes based on a stated tax rate of 31%. The fees which may be
imposed by institutions on their Customers are not reflected in the calculations
of yields for the Funds.

     Yield may fluctuate daily and does not provide a basis for determining
future yields. Because the yields of each Fund will fluctuate, they cannot be
compared with yields on savings accounts or other investment alternatives that
provide an agreed to or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time.
However, yield information may be useful to an investor considering temporary
investments in money market instruments. In comparing the yield of one money
market fund to another, consideration should be given to each Fund's investment
policies including the types of investments made, lengths of maturities of the
portfolio securities, and whether there are any special account charges which
may reduce the effective yield.

Performance of the Non-Money Market Funds

     Yield. The Bond Funds', International Bond Fund's and Short Term Treasury
Fund's 30-day (or one month) standard yield described in the applicable
Prospectus is calculated for each Fund in accordance with the method prescribed
by the SEC for mutual funds:

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

     For the purpose of determining interest earned on debt obligations
purchased by a Fund at a discount or premium (variable "a" in the formula), each
Fund computes the yield to maturity of such instrument based on the market value
of the obligation (including actual accrued interest) at the close of business
on the last business day of each month, or, with respect to obligations
purchased during the month, the purchase price (plus actual accrued interest).
Such yield is then divided by 360 and the quotient is multiplied by the market
value of the obligation (including actual accrued interest) in order to
determine the interest income on the obligation for each day of the subsequent
month that the obligation is in the portfolio. It is assumed in the above
calculation that each month

                                       53
<PAGE>

contains 30 days. The maturity of a debt obligation with a call provision is
deemed to be the next call date on which the obligation reasonably may be
expected to be called or, if none, the maturity date. For the purpose of
computing yield on equity securities held by a Fund, dividend income is
recognized by accruing 1/360 of the stated dividend rate of the security for
each day that the security is held by the Fund.

     Interest earned on tax-exempt obligations that are issued without original
issue discount and that have a current market discount is calculated by using
the coupon rate of interest instead of the yield to maturity. In the case of
tax-exempt obligations that are issued with original issue discount but which
have discounts based on current market value that exceed the then-remaining
portion of the original issue discount (market discount), the yield to maturity
is the imputed rate based on the original issue discount calculation. On the
other hand, in the case of tax-exempt obligations that are issued with original
issue discount but which have the discounts based on current market value that
are less than the then-remaining portion of the original issue discount (market
premium), the yield to maturity is based on the market value.

     With respect to mortgage- or other receivables-backed debt obligations
purchased at a discount or premium, the formula generally calls for amortization
of the discount or premium. The amortization schedule will be adjusted monthly
to reflect changes in the market value of such debt obligations. Expenses
accrued for the period (variable "b" in the formula) include all recurring fees
charged by a Fund to all shareholder accounts in proportion to the length of the
base period and the Fund's mean (or median) account size. Undeclared earned
income will be subtracted from the offering price per share (variable "d" in the
formula). A Fund's maximum offering price per share for purposes of the formula
includes the maximum sales charge imposed -- currently 5.50% of the per share

     Total Return. Each Fund that advertises its "average annual total return"
computes such return by determining the average annual compounded rate of return
during specified periods that equates the initial amount invested to the ending
redeemable value of such investment according to the following formula:

                              P (1 + T)/n/ = ERV
Where:
     P = hypothetical initial payment of $1,000;

                                       55
<PAGE>

     T = average annual total return;

     n = period covered by the computation, expressed in years; and

     ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the
     beginning of the 1, 5 or 10 year (or other) periods at the end of the
     applicable period (or a fractional portion thereof).

     Each Fund that advertises its "aggregate total return" computes such
returns by determining the aggregate compounded rates of return during specified
periods that likewise equate the initial amount invested to the ending
redeemable value of such investment. The formula for calculating aggregate total
return is as follows:

                                   (ERV) - 1
                                   -----
                     Aggregate Total Return = P

     The calculations are made assuming that (1) all dividends and capital gain
distributions are reinvested on the reinvestment dates at the price per share
existing on the reinvestment date, (2) all recurring fees charged to all
shareholder accounts are included, and (3) for any account fees that vary with
the size of the account, a mean (or median) account size in the Fund during the
periods is reflected. The ending redeemable value (variable "ERV" in the
formula) is determined by assuming complete redemption of the hypothetical
investment after deduction of all non-recurring charges at the end of the
measuring period. The Funds' average annual total return and load adjusted
aggregate total return quotations for Class A Shares will reflect the deduction
of the maximum sales charge charged in connection with the purchase of such
shares - currently 5.50% of the per share offering price for Class A Shares of
the Equity Funds (with the exception of the Index 500 Fund, currently 2.50% of
the per share offering price for Class A) and the Balanced Fund and 4.00% of the
per share offering price for Class A Shares of the Bond Fund, International Bond
Fund and Tax-Free Bond Funds; and the Funds' load adjusted average annual total
return and load adjusted aggregate total return quotations for Class B Shares
will reflect any applicable CDSC; provided that the Funds may also advertise
total return data without reflecting any applicable CDSC sales charge imposed on
the purchase of Class A Shares or Class B Shares in accordance with the views of
the SEC. Quotations which do not reflect the sales charge will, of course, be
higher than quotations which do.

     Based on the foregoing calculation, set forth below are the average annual
total return figures for the Class A, B, C, K and Y Shares of each of the
following Funds for the 12 month and 5 year periods ended June 30, 1999 and
since commencement of operations.

+    As of June 15, 1998, Class K Shares of Short Term Treasury Fund were
     renamed the Michigan Municipal Shares.
++   For the ten year period ended June 30, 1999, the average annual return for
     Class K Shares was _____%.

     As of June 30, 1999, the following Classes had not commenced operations:
Class A Shares of the Equity Selection Fund, Global Financial Services Fund and
Growth Opportunities Fund; Class B Shares of the Equity Selection Fund, Global
Financial Services Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, Cash Investment Fund,
International Bond Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money
Market Fund; Class C Shares of the Equity Selection Fund, Global Financial
Services Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, Cash Investment Fund, Tax-Free Money
Market Fund, Index 500 Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund; and Class K
Shares of the Equity Selection Fund, Global Financial Services Fund and Growth
Opportunities Fund.

     The foregoing performance data reflects the imposition of the maximum sales
load on Class A Shares but does not reflect payments under the Trust's Class K
Plan or Class A Plan, which were not imposed before December 31, 1993.

     All Funds. The performance of any investment is generally a function of
portfolio quality and maturity, type of investment and operating expenses.

     From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, a
Fund's yields or total returns may be quoted and compared to those of other
mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to stock or other relevant
indices. In addition, as stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the tax-equivalent
yield (and hypothetical examples illustrating the effect of tax-equivalent
yields) of a Fund may be quoted in advertisements or reports to shareholders.
Hypothetical examples showing the difference between a taxable and a tax-free
investment may also be provided to shareholders.

                                     TAXES

     The following summarizes certain additional Federal and state income tax
considerations generally affecting the Funds and their shareholders that are not
described in the Funds' Prospectuses. No attempt is made to present a detailed
explanation of the tax treatment of the Funds or their shareholders, and the
discussion here and in the applicable Prospectus is not intended as a substitute
for careful tax planning. This discussion is based upon present provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial
and administrative ruling authorities, all of which are subject to change, which
change may be retroactive. Prospective investors should consult their own tax
advisors with regard to the federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership
and disposition of Fund shares, as well as the tax consequences arising under
the laws of any state, foreign country, or other taxing jurisdiction.

     General. Each Fund intends to elect and qualify to be taxed separately as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As
a regulated investment company, each Fund generally is exempt from Federal
income tax on its net investment income and realized capital gains which it
distributes to shareholders, provided that it distributes an amount equal to the
sum of (a) at least 90% of its investment company

                                       60
<PAGE>

taxable income (net investment income and the excess of net short-term capital
gain over net long-term capital loss), if any, for the year and (b) at least 90%
of its net tax-exempt interest income, if any, for the year (the "Distribution
Requirement") and satisfies certain other requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code that are described below. Distributions of investment company taxable
income and net tax-exempt interest income made during the taxable year or, under
specified circumstances, within twelve months after the close of the taxable
year will satisfy the Distribution Requirement.

     In addition to satisfying the Distribution Requirement, each Fund must
derive with respect to a taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from
dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans and gains
from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign currencies,
or from other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such
stock, securities, or currencies (the "Income Requirement"). Interest (including
original issue discount and accrued market discount) received by a Fund at
maturity or on disposition of a security held for less than three months will
not be treated (in contrast to other income which is attributable to realized
market appreciation) as gross income from the sale or other disposition of
securities held for less than three months for this purpose.

     In addition to the foregoing requirements, at the close of each quarter of
its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of each Fund's assets must consist
of cash and cash items, U.S. Government securities, securities of other
regulated investment companies, and securities of other issuers (as to which a
Fund has not invested more than 5% of the value of its total assets in
securities of such issuer and as to which a Fund does not hold more than 10% of
the outstanding voting securities of such issuer) and no more than 25% of the
value of each Fund's 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 in two or more issuers which such Fund controls and
which are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses.

     Distributions of net investment income received by a Fund from investments
in debt securities (other than interest on tax-exempt municipal obligations held
by the Tax-Free Bond Funds and Tax-Free Money Market Fund) and any net realized
short-term capital gains distributed by a Fund will be taxable to shareholders
as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
for corporations.

     Each Fund intends to distribute to shareholders any excess of net long-term
capital gain over net short-term capital loss ("net capital gain") for each
taxable year. Such gain is distributed as a capital gain dividend and is taxable
to shareholders as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset held for
more than one year, regardless of the length of time a shareholder has held his
or her Fund shares and regardless of whether the distribution is paid in cash or
reinvested in shares. The Funds expect that capital gain dividends will be
taxable to shareholders as long-term gain. Capital gain dividends are not
eligible for the dividends-received deduction.

     In the case of corporate shareholders, distributions of a Fund for any
taxable year generally qualify for the dividends-received deduction to the
extent of the gross amount of "qualifying dividends" received by such Fund for
the year and if certain holding period requirements are met. Generally, a
dividend will be treated as a "qualifying dividend" if it has been received from
a domestic corporation.

     If for any taxable year any Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment
company, all of its taxable income will be subject to tax at regular corporate
rates without any deduction for distributions to shareholders. In such event,
all distributions (whether or not derived from exempt-interest income) would be
taxable as ordinary income and would be eligible for the dividends-received
deduction in the case of corporate shareholders to the extent of such Fund's
current and accumulated earnings and profits.

     Shareholders will be advised annually as to the federal income tax
consequences of distributions made by the Funds each year.

     Amounts not distributed on a timely basis in accordance with a calendar
year distribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax. To
prevent imposition of the excise tax, a Fund must distribute during each
calendar year an amount equal to the sum of (1) at least 98% of its ordinary
income (not taking into account

                                       61
<PAGE>

any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year, (2) at least 98% of its
capital gains in excess of its capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary
losses, as prescribed by the Code) for the one-year period ending on October 31
of the calendar year, and (3) any ordinary income and capital gains for previous
years that was not distributed during those years. A distribution will be
treated as paid on December 31 of the current calendar year if it is declared by
a Fund in October, November or December with a record date in such a month and
paid by a Fund during January of the following calendar year. Such distributions
will be taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which the distributions
are declared, rather than the calendar year in which the distributions are made.
To prevent application of the excise tax, a Fund intends to make its
distributions in accordance with the calendar year distribution requirement.

  Although a Fund expects to qualify as a "regulated investment company" and to
be relieved of all or substantially all Federal income taxes, depending upon the
extent of its activities in states and localities in which its offices are
maintained, in which its agents or independent contractors are located or in
which it is otherwise deemed to be conducting business, a Fund may be subject to
the tax laws of such states or localities.

     The Trust, the Framlington Trust and the Company will be required in
certain cases to withhold and remit to the United States Treasury 31% of taxable
distributions, including gross proceeds realized upon sale or other dispositions
paid to any shareholder (i) who has provided an incorrect tax identification
number or no number at all, (ii) who is subject to backup withholding by the
Internal Revenue Service for failure to report the receipt of taxable interest
or dividend income properly, or (iii) who has failed to certify that he is not
subject to backup withholding or that he is an "exempt recipient."

     Disposition of Shares. Upon a redemption, sale or exchange of his or her
shares, a shareholder will realize a taxable gain or loss depending upon his or
her basis in the shares. Such gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or
loss if the shares are capital assets in the shareholder's hands and will be
long-term or short-term, generally, depending upon the shareholder's holding
period for the shares. Any loss realized on a redemption, sale or exchange will
be disallowed to the extent the shares disposed of are replaced (including
through reinvestment of dividends) within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days
before and ending 30 days after the shares are disposed of. In such a case, the
basis of the shares acquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss.
Any loss realized by a shareholder on the sale of Fund shares held by the
shareholder for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss
to the extent of any distributions of net capital gains received or treated as
having been received by the shareholder with respect to such shares and treated
as long-term capital gains. Furthermore, a loss realized by a shareholder on the
redemption, sale or exchange of shares of a Fund with respect to which exempt-
interest dividends have been paid will, to the extent of such exempt-interest
dividends, be disallowed if such shares have been held by the shareholder for
six months or less.

     In some cases, shareholders will not be permitted to take sales charges
into account for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss realized on
the disposition of their stock. This prohibition generally applies where (1) the
shareholder incurs a sales charge in acquiring the stock of a Fund, (2) the
stock is disposed of before the 91st day after the date on which it was
acquired, and (3) the shareholder subsequently acquires the stock of the same or
another fund and the otherwise applicable sales charge is reduced under a
"reinvestment right" received upon the initial purchase of regulated investment
company shares. The term "reinvestment right" means any right to acquire stock
of one or more funds without the payment of a sales charge or with the payment
of a reduced sales charge. Sales charges affected by this rule are treated as if
they were incurred with respect to the stock acquired under the reinvestment
right. This provision may be applied to successive acquisitions of Fund shares.

     Although each Fund expects to qualify as a "regulated investment company"
and to be relieved of all or substantially all federal income taxes, depending
upon the extent of its activities in states and localities in which its offices
are maintained, in which its agents or independent contractors are located or in
which it is otherwise deemed to be conducting business, each Fund may be subject
to the tax laws of such states or localities.

     Tax-Free Bond Funds and Tax-Free Money Market Fund. The Michigan Bond Fund,
Tax-Free Bond Fund, Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, and Tax-Free Money
Market Fund are designed to provide investors with current tax-exempt interest
income. Shares of the Funds would not be suitable for tax-exempt institutions
and

                                       62
<PAGE>

may not be suitable for retirement plans qualified under Section 401 of the
Code, H.R. 10 plans and individual retirement accounts since such plans and
accounts are generally tax-exempt and, therefore, not only would not gain any
additional benefit from the Funds' dividends being tax-exempt but also such
dividends would be taxable when distributed to the beneficiary. In addition, the
Funds may not be an appropriate investment for entities which are "substantial
users" of facilities financed by private activity bonds or "related persons"
thereof. "Substantial user" is defined under U.S. Treasury Regulations to
include a non-exempt person who regularly uses a part of such facilities in his
trade or business and (a) whose gross revenues derived with respect to the
facilities financed by the issuance of bonds are more than 5% of the total
revenues derived by all users of such facilities, (b) who occupies more than 5%
of the entire usable area of such facilities, or (c) for whom such facilities or
a part thereof were specifically constructed, reconstructed or acquired.
"Related persons" generally include certain related natural persons, affiliated
corporations, a partnership and its partners and an S corporation and its
shareholders.

     In order for the Funds to pay exempt-interest dividends with respect to any
taxable year, at the close of each quarter of each Fund's taxable year at least
50% of the value of the Fund's assets must consist of tax-exempt municipal
obligations. Exempt-interest dividends distributed to shareholders are not
included in the shareholder's gross income for regular federal income tax
purposes. However, all shareholders required to file a federal income tax return
are required to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-
exempt interest on their returns. Moreover, while such dividends and interest
are exempt from regular federal income tax, they may be subject to alternative
minimum tax in two circumstances. First, exempt-interest dividends derived from
certain "private activity" bonds issued after August 7, 1986 will generally
constitute an item of tax preference for both corporate and non-corporate
taxpayers. Second, exempt-interest dividends derived from all bonds, regardless
of the date of issue, must be taken into account by corporate taxpayers in
determining the amount of certain adjustments for alternative minimum tax
purposes. Receipt of exempt-interest dividends may result in collateral federal
income tax consequences to certain other taxpayers, including financial
institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, individual recipients
of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, and foreign corporations
engaged in a trade or business in the United States. Prospective investors
should consult their own tax advisors as to such consequences.

     The percentage of total dividends paid by the Fund with respect to any
taxable year which qualifies as federal exempt-interest dividends will be the
same for all shareholders receiving dividends during such year. If a shareholder
receives an exempt-interest dividend with respect to any share and such share is
held for six months or less, any loss on the sale or exchange of such share will
be disallowed to the extent of the amount of such dividends.

     Interest on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to purchase or carry
shares of the Funds generally is not deductible for federal income tax purposes
if the Funds distribute exempt-interest dividends during the shareholder's
taxable year.

     Investors may be subject to state and local taxes on income derived from an
investment in a Fund. In certain states, income derived from a Fund which is
attributable to interest on obligations of that state or any municipality or
political subdivision thereof may be exempt from taxation.

     Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to
the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in a Fund. Persons who
may be "substantial users" (or "related persons" of substantial users) of
facilities financed by industrial development bonds should consult their tax
advisers before investing in a Fund.

     Michigan Tax Considerations - Michigan Bond Fund and Tax-Free Short-
Intermediate Bond Fund. As stated in the Michigan Bond Fund Prospectus and the
Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund Prospectus, dividends paid by the Fund
that are derived from interest attributable to tax-exempt Michigan Municipal
Obligations will be exempt from Michigan Income Tax and Michigan Single Business
Tax. Conversely, to the extent that the Fund's dividends are derived from
interest on obligations other than Michigan Municipal Obligations, such
dividends will be subject to Michigan Income and Michigan Single Business Taxes,
even though the dividends may be exempt for federal Income Tax purposes.

                                       63
<PAGE>

     In particular, gross interest income and dividends derived from obligations
or securities of the State of Michigan and its political subdivisions, exempt
from federal Income Tax, are exempt from Michigan Income Tax under Act No. 281,
Public Acts of Michigan, 1967, as amended, and are exempt from Michigan Single
Business Tax under Act No. 228, Public Acts of Michigan, 1975, as amended. The
Michigan Income Tax act levies a flat-rate income tax on individuals, estates,
and trusts. The Single Business Tax Act levies a tax upon the "adjusted tax
base" of most individuals, corporations, financial organizations, partnerships,
joint ventures, estates, and trusts with "business activity" in Michigan.

     The transfer of obligations or securities of the State of Michigan and its
political subdivisions by the Fund, as well as the transfer of Fund shares by a
shareholder, is subject to Michigan taxes measured by gain on the sale, payment,
or other disposition thereof.

     International Equity Fund, International Growth Fund, Emerging Markets
Fund, Global Financial Services Fund and International Bond Fund. Income
received by the International Equity Fund, the International Growth Fund, the
Emerging Markets Fund, the Global Financial Services Fund and the International
Bond Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to withholding
and other foreign taxes. The payment of such taxes will reduce the amount of
dividends and distributions paid to the Funds' shareholders. So long as a Fund
qualifies as a regulated investment company, certain distribution requirements
are satisfied, and more than 50% of the value of the Fund's assets at the close
of the taxable year consists of securities of foreign corporations, the Fund may
elect, subject to limitation, to pass through its foreign tax credits to its
shareholders. The Fund may qualify for and make this election in some, but not
necessarily all, of its taxable years. If a Fund were to make an election, an
amount equal to the foreign income taxes paid by the Fund would be included in
the income of its shareholders and the shareholders would be entitled to credit
their portions of this amount against their U.S. tax due, if any, or to deduct
such portions from their U.S. taxable income, if any. Shortly after any year for
which it makes such an election, a Fund will report to its shareholders, in
writing, the amount per share of such foreign tax that must be included in each
shareholder's gross income and the amount which will be available for deduction
or credit. No deduction for foreign taxes may be claimed by a shareholder who
does not itemize deductions. Certain limitations are imposed on the extent to
which the credit (but not the deduction) for foreign taxes may be claimed.

     Shareholders who choose to utilize a credit (rather than a deduction) for
foreign taxes will be subject to limitations, including the restriction that the
credit may not exceed the shareholder's United States tax (determined without
regard to the availability of the credit) attributable to his or her total
foreign source taxable income. For this purpose, the portion of dividends and
distributions paid by the Fund from its foreign source income will be treated as
foreign source income. The Fund's gains and losses from the sale of securities
will generally be treated as derived from United States sources and certain
foreign currency gains and losses likewise will be treated as derived from
United States sources. The limitation on the foreign tax credit is applied
separately to foreign source "passive income", such as the portion of dividends
received from the Fund which qualifies as foreign source income. In addition,
only a portion of the foreign tax credit will be allowed to offset any
alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations and individuals. Because of
these limitations, shareholders may be unable to claim a credit for the full
amount of their proportionate shares of the foreign income taxes paid by the
Fund.

     Taxation of Certain Financial Instruments. Special rules govern the Federal
income tax treatment of financial instruments that may be held by some of the
Funds. These rules may have a particular impact on the amount of income or gain
that the Funds must distribute to their respective shareholders to comply with
the Distribution Requirement, on the income or gain qualifying under the Income
Requirement, all described above.

     Market Discount. If a Fund purchases a debt security at a price lower than
the stated redemption price of such debt security, the excess of the stated
redemption price over the purchase price is "market discount". If the amount of
market discount is more than a de minimis amount, a portion of such market
discount must be included as ordinary income (not capital gain) by the Fund in
each taxable year in which the Fund owns an interest in such debt security and
receives a principal payment on it. In particular, the Fund will be required to
allocate that principal payment first to the portion of the market discount on
the debt security that has accrued but has not previously been includable in
income. In general, the amount of market discount that must be included for each
period is equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of market discount accruing
during such period (plus any accrued

                                       64
<PAGE>

market discount for prior periods not previously taken into account) or (ii) the
amount of the principal payment with respect to such period. Generally, market
discount accrues on a daily basis for each day the debt security is held by a
Fund at a constant rate over the time remaining to the debt security's maturity
or, at the election of the Fund, at a constant yield to maturity which takes
into account the semi-annual compounding of interest. Gain realized on the
disposition of a market discount obligations must be recognized as ordinary
interest income (not capital gain) to the extent of the "accrued market
discount."

     Original Issue Discount. Certain debt securities acquired by the Funds may
be treated as debt securities that were originally issued at a discount. Very
generally, original issue discount is defined as the difference between the
price at which a security was issued and its stated redemption price at
maturity. Although no cash income on account of such discount is actually
received by a Fund, original issue discount that accrues on a debt security in a
given year generally is treated for federal income tax purposes as interest and,
therefore, such income would be subject to the distribution requirements
applicable to regulated investment companies.

     Some debt securities may be purchased by the Fund, at a discount that
exceeds the original issue discount on such debt securities, if any. This
additional discount represents market discount for federal income tax purposes
(see above).

     Hedging Transactions. The taxation of equity options and over-the-counter
options on debt securities is governed by Code section 1234. Pursuant to Code
section 1234, the premium received by a Fund for selling a put or call option is
not included in income at the time of receipt. If the option expires, the
premium is short-term capital gain to the Fund. If the Fund enters into a
closing transaction, the difference between the amount paid to close out its
position and the premium received is short-term capital gain or loss. If a call
option written by a Fund is exercised, thereby requiring the Fund to sell the
underlying security, the premium will increase the amount realized upon the sale
of such security and any resulting gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss,
and will be long-term or short-term depending upon the holding period of the
security. With respect to a put or call option that is purchased by a Fund, if
the option is sold, any resulting gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss,
and will be long-term or short-term, depending upon the holding period of the
option. If the option expires, the resulting loss is a capital loss and is long-
term or short-term, depending upon the holding period of the option. If the
option is exercised, the cost of the option, in the case of a call option, is
added to the basis of the purchased security and, in the case of a put option,
reduces the amount realized on the underlying security in determining gain or
loss.

     Any regulated futures and foreign currency contracts and certain options
(namely, nonequity options and dealer equity options) in which a Fund may invest
may be "Section 1256 contracts." Gains or losses on Section 1256 contracts are
generally considered 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains or losses;
however, foreign currency gains or losses arising from certain section 1256
contracts may be treated as ordinary income or loss. Also, Section 1256
contracts held by a Fund at the end of each taxable year (and generally for
purposes of the 4% excise tax, on October 31 of each year) are "marked to
market" with the result that unrealized gains or losses are treated as though
they were realized.

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

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

                                       65
<PAGE>


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

     The diversification requirements applicable to the Funds' assets may limit
the extent to which the Funds will be able to engage in transactions in options,
futures or forward contracts.

     Constructive Sales. Recently enacted rules may affect the timing and
character of gain if a Fund engages in transactions that reduce or eliminate its
risk of loss with respect to appreciated financial positions. If the Fund enters
into certain transactions in property while holding substantially identical
property, the Fund would be treated as if it had sold and immediately
repurchased the property and would be taxed on any gain (but not loss) from the
constructive sale. The character of gain from a constructive sale would depend
upon the Fund's holding period in the property. Loss from a constructive sale
would be recognized when the property was subsequently disposed of, and its
character would depend on the Fund's holding period and the application of
various loss deferral provisions of the Code.

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

     Passive Foreign Investment Companies. Certain Funds may invest in shares of
foreign corporations that may be classified under the Code as passive foreign
investment companies ("PFICs"). In general, a foreign corporation is classified
as a PFIC if at least on-half of its assets constitute investment-type assets,
or 75% or more of its gross income investment-type income. If a Fund receives a
so-called "excess distribution" with respect to PFIC shares, the Fund itself may
be subject to a tax on a portion of the excess distribution, whether or not the
corresponding income is distributed by the Fund to shareholders. In general,
under the PFIC rules, an excess distribution is treated as having been realized
ratably over the period during which the Fund held the PFIC shares. Each Fund
will itself be subject to tax on the portion, if any, of an excess distribution
that is so allocated to prior Fund taxable years and an interest factor will be
added to the tax, as if the tax had been payable in such prior taxable years.
Certain distributions from a PFIC as well as gain from the sale of PFIC shares
are treated as excess distributions. Excess distributions are characterized as
ordinary income even though, absent application of the PFIC rules, certain
excess distributions might have been classified as capital gain.

     The Funds may be eligible to elect alternative tax treatment with respect
to PFIC shares. Under an election that currently is available in some
circumstances, a Fund generally would be required to include in its gross income
its share of the earnings of a PFIC on a current basis, regardless of whether
distributions were received from the PFIC in a given year. If this election were
made, the special rules, discussed above, relating to the taxation of excess
distributions, would not apply. In addition, another election would involve
marking to market the Fund's PFIC shares at the end of each taxable year, with
the result that unrealized gains would be treated as though they were realized
and reported as ordinary income. Any mark-to market losses and any loss from an
actual disposition of Fund shares would be deductible as ordinary losses to the
extent of any net mark-to-market gains included in income in prior years.

     Income received by a Fund from sources within foreign countries may be
subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries.

                                       66
<PAGE>

     Fund shareholders may be subject to state, local and foreign taxes on their
Fund distributions. In many states, Fund distributions which are derived from
interest on certain U.S. Government obligations are exempt from taxation. The
tax consequences to a foreign shareholder of an investment in the Fund may be
different from those described herein. Foreign shareholders are advised to
consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular tax consequences
to them of an investment in the Fund. Shareholders are advised to consult their
own tax advisers with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an
investment in the Fund.

Other Taxation

     The foregoing discussion relates only to U.S. federal income tax law and
certain state taxes as applicable to U.S. persons (i.e., U.S. citizens and
residents and domestic corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates).
Distributions by the Funds, and dispositions of Fund shares also may be subject
to other state and local taxes, and their treatment under state and local income
tax laws may differ from the U.S. federal income tax treatment. Shareholders
should consult their tax advisers with respect to particular questions of U.S.
federal, state and local taxation. Shareholders who are not U.S. persons should
consult their tax advisers regarding U.S. and foreign tax consequences of
ownership of shares of the Fund, including the likelihood that distributions to
them would be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30%
(or at a lower rate under a tax treaty). Future legislative or administrative
changes or court decisions may significantly change the conclusions expressed
herein, and any such changes or decisions may have a retroactive effect with
respect to the transactions contemplated herein.

                   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING SHARES

     The Trust and Framlington are Massachusetts business trusts. Under each
Declaration of Trust, the beneficial interest in the Trust or Framlington may be
divided into an unlimited number of full and fractional transferable shares. The
Company is a Maryland corporation. The Trust's and Framlington's Declaration of
Trust and the Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the Boards of
Directors/Trustees to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of the Trust,
Framlington and the Company into one or more classes by setting or changing, in
any one or more respects, their respective designations, preferences, conversion
or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations, qualifications and
terms and conditions of redemption. Pursuant to such authority, the Trust's
Board of Trustees has authorized the issuance of an unlimited number of shares
of beneficial interest in the Trust, representing interests in the Balanced,
Growth & Income, Index 500, International Equity, Small Company Growth, Bond,
Intermediate Bond, U.S. Income, Michigan Bond, Tax-Free Bond, Tax-Free Short-
Intermediate Bond, Cash Investment, Tax-Free Money Market and U.S. Treasury
Money Market Funds. The shares of each Fund (other than the Cash Investment
Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) are
offered in five separate classes: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Class Y
Shares. The Cash Investment Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury
Money Market Fund offer only Class A Shares, Class K Shares and Class Y Shares.
Pursuant to the authority of Framlington's Declaration of Trust, the Trustees
have authorized the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest in Framlington representing interests in the International Growth Fund,
Emerging Markets Fund, Global Financial Services Fund and Healthcare Fund. The
shares of each Fund are offered in five separate classes: Class A, Class B,
Class C, Class K and Class Y Shares. Pursuant to the authority of the Company's
Articles of Incorporation, the Directors have authorized the issuance of shares
of common stock representing interests in the Equity Selection Fund, Growth
Opportunities Fund, Micro-Cap Fund, Multi-Season Fund, Real Estate Fund, Small-
Cap Value Fund, Value Fund, International Bond Fund, Money Market Fund, All-
Season Conservative Fund, All-Season Moderate Fund, All-Season Aggressive Fund,
Financial Services Fund, Short Term Treasury Fund and NetNet Fund. The shares of
each Fund (other than the Money Market Fund, All-Season Conservative Fund, All-
Season Moderate Fund, All-Season Aggressive Fund, Financial Services Fund, Short
Term Treasury Fund and the NetNet Fund) are offered in five separate classes:
Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Class Y Shares. The Money Market Fund
offers only Class A, Class B and Class C Shares (which may be acquired only
through an exchange of shares from the corresponding classes of other funds of
the Trust, Framlington and the Company) and Class Y Shares. The All-Season
Conservative Fund, All-Season Moderate Fund and All-Season Aggressive Fund offer
only Class A, Class B and Class Y Shares. The Short Term

                                       67
<PAGE>

Treasury Fund offers Class Y Shares and the Michigan Municipal Shares (formerly,
Class K Shares). The NetNet Fund offers only Class A, Class B, Class C and Class
Y Shares.

     The Boards of the Trust, the Company and Framlington have adopted plans
pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act ("Multi-Class Plans") on behalf of
each Fund. Each Multi-Class Plan provides that shares of each class of a Fund
are identical, except for one or more expense variables, certain related rights,
exchange privileges, class designation and sales loads assessed due to differing
distribution methods.

     In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Trust, Framlington or
the Company or an individual Fund, shareholders of a particular Fund would be
entitled to receive the assets available for distribution belonging to such
Fund, and a proportionate distribution, based upon the relative net asset values
of the Trust's, Framlington's or the Company's respective Funds, of any general
assets not belonging to any particular Fund which are available for
distribution. Shareholders of a Fund are entitled to participate in the net
distributable assets of the particular Fund involved on liquidation, based on
the number of shares of the Fund that are held by each shareholder.

     Holders of all outstanding shares of a particular Fund will vote together
in the aggregate and not by class on all matters, except that only Class A
Shares of a Fund will be entitled to vote on matters submitted to a vote of
shareholders pertaining to the Fund's Class A Plan, only Class B Shares will be
entitled to vote on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders pertaining to
the Fund's Class B Plan, only Class C Shares of a Fund will be entitled to vote
on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's Class C
Plan, and only Class K Shares of a Fund will be entitled to vote on matters
submitted to a vote of shareholders pertaining to the Class K Plan. Further,
shareholders of all of the Funds, as well as those of any other investment
portfolio now or hereafter offered by the Trust, Framlington or the Company,
will vote together in the aggregate and not separately on a Fund-by-Fund basis,
except as otherwise required by law or when permitted by the Boards of
Directors/Trustees. Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act provides that any matter
required to be submitted to the holders of the outstanding voting securities of
an investment company such as the Trust, Framlington or the Company shall not be
deemed to have been effectively acted upon unless approved by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of each Fund affected by the matter. A Fund
is affected by a matter, (i) unless it is clear that the interests of each Fund
in the matter are substantially identical or (ii) that the matter does not
affect any interest of the Fund. Under the Rule, the approval of an investment
advisory agreement, sub-advisory agreement or any change in a fundamental
investment policy would be effectively acted upon with respect to a Fund only if
approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund. However, the Rule
also provides that the ratification of the appointment of independent auditors,
the approval of principal underwriting contracts and the election of trustees
may be effectively acted upon by shareholders of the Trust, Framlington or the
Company voting together in the aggregate without regard to a particular Fund.

     Shares of each of the Trust, Framlington and the Company have noncumulative
voting rights and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of each of the
Trust's, Framlington's and the Company's outstanding shares (irrespective of
class) may elect all of the trustees or directors. Shares have no preemptive
rights and only such conversion and exchange rights as the Board may grant in
its discretion. When issued for payment as described in the applicable
Prospectus, shares will be fully paid and non-assessable by each of the Trust,
Framlington and the Company.

     Annual shareholder meetings to elect trustees or directors will not be held
unless and until such time as required by law. At that time, the trustees then
in office will call a shareholders' meeting to elect trustees. Except as set
forth above, the trustees will continue to hold office and may appoint successor
trustees. Meetings of the shareholders of the Trust, Framlington or the Company
shall be called by the trustees or directors upon the written request of
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

     The Trust's and Framlington's Declaration of Trust, as amended, each
authorizes the Board of Trustees, without shareholder approval (unless otherwise
required by applicable law), to: (i) sell and convey the assets belonging to a
class of shares to another management investment company for consideration which
may include securities issued by the purchaser and, in connection therewith, to
cause all outstanding shares of such class to be redeemed at a price which is
equal to their net asset value and which may be paid in cash or by distribution
of the

                                       68
<PAGE>

securities or other consideration received from the sale and conveyance; (ii)
sell and convert the assets belonging to one or more classes of shares into
money and, in connection therewith, to cause all outstanding shares of such
class to be redeemed at their net asset value; or (iii) combine the assets
belonging to a class of shares with the assets belonging to one or more other
classes of shares if the Board of Trustees reasonably determines that such
combination will not have a material adverse effect on the shareholders of any
class participating in such combination and, in connection therewith, to cause
all outstanding shares of any such class to be redeemed or converted into shares
of another class of shares at their net asset value. However, the exercise of
such authority may be subject to certain restrictions under the 1940 Act. The
Trust's and Framlington's Board of Trustees may authorize the termination of any
class of shares after the assets belonging to such class have been distributed
to its shareholders.

                             - Rated Investments -
Corporate Bonds
- ---------------


     From MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICES, INC. ("MOODY'S") description of its bond
ratings:

     "Aaa":

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

     "Aa":

          Bonds that are rated "Aa" are judged to be of high-quality by all
       standards. Together with the "Aaa" group they comprise what are generally
       known as "high-grade" bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds
       because margins of protection may not be as large as in "Aaa" securities
       or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or
       there may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear
       somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.

     "A":

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


     "Baa":

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

     "Ba":

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

     "B":

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

     "Caa":

          Bonds that are rated "Caa" are of poor standing. These issues may be
       in default or present elements of danger may exist with respect to
       principal or interest.


     Moody's applies numerical modifiers (1, 2 and 3) with respect to bonds
rated "Aa" through "B". The modifier 1 indicates that the bond being rated ranks
in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a
mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the bond ranks in the lower
end of its generic rating category.

                                      A-1
<PAGE>


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


     "AAA":

          Debt rated "AAA" has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity to
       pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

     "AA":

          Debt rated "AA" has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
       principal and differs from "AAA" issues by a small degree.

     "A":

          Debt rated "A" has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
       principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects
       of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher
       rated categories.

     "BBB":

          Bonds rated "BBB" are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
       interest and principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection
       parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are
       more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay
       principal for bonds in this category than for bonds in higher rated
       categories.

     "BB," "B" and "CCC":

          Bonds rated "BB" and "B" are regarded, on balance, as predominantly
       speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and principal in
       accordance with the terms of the obligations. "BB" represents a lower
       degree of speculation than "B" and "CCC" the highest degree of
       speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and
       protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties
       or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

     To provide more detailed indications of credit quality, the "AA" or "A"
ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative
standing within these major rating categories.

Commercial Paper
- ----------------


     The rating "Prime-1" is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by
Moody'S.  These issuers (or related supporting institutions) are considered to
have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.
instruments rated "Prime-2" are offered by issuers (or related supporting
institutions) which have a strong capacity for repayment of short-term
promissory obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the
characteristics of "Prime-1" rated issues, but to a lesser degree. Earnings
trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more susceptible to variation.
Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by
external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

     Commercial paper ratings of S&P are current assessments of the likelihood
of timely payment of debt having original maturities of no more than 365 days.
Commercial paper rated "A-1" by S&P indicates that the degree of safety
regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted "A-1+."
Commercial paper rated "A-2" by S&P indicates that capacity for timely payment
is strong. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues
designated "A-1."



     Rated commercial paper purchased by a Fund must have (at the time of
purchase) the highest quality rating assigned to short-term debt securities or,
if not rated, or rated by only one agency, are determined to be of comparative
quality pursuant to guidelines approved by a Fund's Boards of Trustees and
Directors.

                                  APPENDIX B


     The Equity Funds, the Balanced Fund and the Bond Funds may enter into
certain futures transactions and options for hedging purposes. Each of the
Equity Funds, Balanced Fund, Bond Funds, International Bond Fund and Tax-Free
Bond Funds (other than Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond Fund) may also write
covered call options, buy put options, buy call options and write secured put
options. Such transactions are described in this Appendix.

I.  Interest Rate Futures Contracts
    -------------------------------

     Use of Interest Rate Futures Contracts. Bond prices are established in
     ---------------------------------------
both the cash market and the futures market. In the cash market, bonds are
purchased and sold with payment for the full purchase price of the bond being
made in cash, generally within five business days after the trade. In the
futures market, only a contract is made to purchase or sell a bond in the future
for a set price on a certain date. Historically, the prices for bonds
established in the futures markets have tended to move generally in the
aggregate in concert with the cash market prices and have maintained fairly
predictable relationships. Accordingly, the Funds may use interest rate futures
contracts as a defense, or hedge, against anticipated interest rate changes and
not for speculation. As described below, this would include the use of futures
contract sales to protect against expected increases in interest rates and
futures contract purchases to offset the impact of interest rate declines.

     The Funds presently could accomplish a similar result to that which it
hopes to achieve through the use of futures contracts by selling bonds with long
maturities and investing in bonds with short maturities when interest rates are
expected to increase, or conversely, selling short-term bonds and investing in
long-term bonds when interest rates are expected to decline. However, because of
the liquidity that is often available in the futures market, the protection is
more likely to be achieved, perhaps at a lower cost and without changing the
rate of interest being earned by the Funds, through using futures contracts.

     Description of Interest Rate Futures Contracts. An interest rate futures
     -----------------------------------------------
contract sale would create an obligation by a Fund, as seller, to deliver the
specific type of financial instrument called for in the contract at a specific
future time for a specified price. A futures contract purchase would create an
obligation by the Fund, as purchaser, to take delivery of the specific type of
financial instrument at a specific future time at a specific price. The specific
securities delivered or taken, respectively, at settlement date, would not be
determined until or at near that date. The determination would be in accordance
with the rules of the exchange on which the futures contract sale or purchase
was made.

     Although interest rate futures contracts by their terms call for actual
delivery or acceptance of securities, in most cases the contracts are closed out
before the settlement date without making or taking of delivery of securities.
Closing out a futures contract sale is effected by the Fund's entering into a
futures contract purchase for the same aggregate amount of the specific type of
financial instrument and the same delivery date. If the price of the sale
exceeds the price of the offsetting purchase, the Fund is immediately paid the
difference and thus realizes a gain. If the offsetting purchase price exceeds
the sale price, the Fund pays the difference and realizes a loss. Similarly, the
closing out of a futures contract purchase is effected by the Fund entering into
a futures contract sale. If the offsetting sale price exceeds the purchase
price, the Fund realizes a gain, and if the purchase price exceeds the
offsetting sale price, the Fund realizes a loss.

     Interest rate futures contracts are traded in an auction environment on the
floors of several exchanges -principally, the Chicago Board of Trade, the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the New York Futures Exchange. The Funds would
deal only in standardized contracts on recognized exchanges. Each exchange
guarantees performance under contract provisions through a clearing corporation,
a nonprofit organization managed by the exchange membership.

     A public market now exists in futures contracts covering various financial
instruments including long-term United States Treasury Bonds and Notes,
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) modified pass-through mortgage

The Funds may trade in any interest rate futures contracts for which there
exists a public market, including, without limitation, the foregoing
instruments.

     Example of Futures Contract Sale. The Funds would engage in an interest
     ---------------------------------
rate futures contract sale to maintain the income advantage from continued
holding of a long-term bond while endeavoring to avoid part or all of the loss
in market value that would otherwise accompany a decline in long-term securities
prices. Assume that the market value of a certain security held by a particular
Fund tends to move in concert with the futures market prices of long-term United
States Treasury bonds ("Treasury Bonds"). The adviser wishes to fix the current
market value of the portfolio security until some point in the future. Assume
the portfolio security has a market value of 100, and the adviser believes that,
because of an anticipated rise in interest rates, the value will decline to 95.
The fund might enter into futures contract sales of Treasury bonds for an
equivalent of 98. If the market value of the portfolio security does indeed
decline from 100 to 95, the equivalent futures market price for the Treasury
bonds might also decline from 98 to 93.

     In that case, the five point loss in the market value of the portfolio
security would be offset by the five point gain realized by closing out the
futures contract sale. Of course, the futures market price of Treasury bonds
might well decline to more than 93 or to less than 93 because of the imperfect
correlation between cash and futures prices mentioned below.

     The advisor could be wrong in its forecast of interest rates and the
equivalent futures market price could rise above 98. In this case, the market
value of the portfolio securities, including the portfolio security being
protected, would increase. The benefit of this increase would be reduced by the
loss realized on closing out the futures contract sale.

     If interest rate levels did not change, the Fund in the above example might
incur a loss of 2 points (which might be reduced by an offsetting transaction
prior to the settlement date). In each transaction, transaction expenses would
also be incurred.

     Example of Futures Contract Purchase. The Funds would engage in an
     -------------------------------------
interest rate futures contract purchase when they are not fully invested in
long-term bonds but wish to defer for a time the purchase of long-term bonds in
light of the availability of advantageous interim investments, e.g., shorter
term securities whose yields are greater than those available on long-term
bonds. A Fund's basic motivation would be to maintain for a time the income
advantage from investing in the short-term securities; the Fund would be
endeavoring at the same time to eliminate the effect of all or part of an
expected increase in market price of the long-term bonds that the Fund may
purchase.


     For example, assume that the market price of a long-term bond that the Fund
may purchase, currently yielding 10% , tends to move in concert with futures
market prices of Treasury bonds. The advisor wishes to fix the current market
price (and thus 10% yield) of the long-term bond until the time (four months
away in this example) when it may purchase the bond. Assume the long-term bond
has a market price of 100, and the advisor believes that, because of an
anticipated fall in interest rates, the price will have risen to 105 (and the
yield will have dropped to about 91/2%) in four months. The Fund might enter
into futures contracts purchases of Treasury bonds for an equivalent price of
98. At the same time, the Fund would assign a pool of investments in short-term
securities that are either maturing in four months or designated on the books of
the Fund's custodian for sale in four months, for purchase of the long-term bond
at an assumed market price of 100. Assume these short-term securities are
yielding 15%. If the market price of the long-term bond does indeed rise from
100 to 105, the equivalent futures market price for Treasury bonds might also
rise from 98 to 103. In that case, the 5 point increase in the price that the
Fund pays for the long-term bond would be offset by the 5 point gain realized by
closing out the futures contract purchase.

     The advisor could be wrong in its forecast of interest rates; long-term
interest rates might rise to above 10%; and the equivalent futures market price
could fall below 98. If short-term rates at the same time fall to 10% or below,
it is possible that the Fund would continue with its purchase program for long-
term bonds. The market price

                                      B-2
<PAGE>

of available long-term bonds would have decreased. The benefit of this price
decrease, and thus yield increase, will be reduced by the loss realized on
closing out the futures contract purchase.

          If, however, short-term rates remained above available long-term
rated, it is possible that the Fund would discontinue its purchase program for
long-term bonds. The yield on short-term securities in the portfolio, including
those originally in the pool assigned to the particular long-term bond, would
remain higher than yields on long-term bonds. The benefit of this continued
incremental income will be reduced by the loss realized on closing out the
futures contract purchase. In each transaction, expenses would also be incurred.

II.  Index Futures Contracts
     -----------------------

          General. A bond index assigns relative values of the bonds included in
          --------
the index and the index fluctuates with changes in the market values of the
bonds included. The Chicago Board of Trade has designed a futures contract based
on the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index. This Index is composed of 40 term
revenue and general obligation bonds and its composition is updated regularly as
new bonds meeting the criteria of the Index are issued and existing bonds
mature. The Index is intended to provide an accurate indicator of trends and
changes in the municipal bond market. Each bond in the Index is independently
priced by six dealer-to-dealer municipal bond brokers daily. The 40 prices then
are averaged and multiplied by a coefficient. The coefficient is used to
maintain the continuity of the Index when its composition changes.

          A stock index assigns relative values to the stocks included in the
index and the index fluctuates with changes in the market values of the stocks
included. Some stock index futures contracts are based on broad market indices,
such as the Standard & Poor's 500 or the New York Stock Exchange Composite
Index. In contrast, certain exchanges offer futures contracts on narrower market
indices, such as the Standard & Poor's 100 or indices based on an industry or
market segment, such as oil and gas stocks.

          Futures contracts are traded on organized exchanges regulated by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Transactions on such exchanges are cleared
through a clearing corporation, which guarantees the performance of the parties
to each contract.

          A Fund will sell index futures contracts in order to offset a decrease
in market value of its portfolio securities that might otherwise result from a
market decline. A Fund will purchase index futures contracts in anticipation of
purchases of securities. In a substantial majority of these transactions, a Fund
will purchase such securities upon termination of the long futures position, but
a long futures position may be terminated without a corresponding purchase of
securities.

          In addition, a Fund may utilize index futures contracts in
anticipation of changes in the composition of its portfolio holdings. For
example, in the event that a Fund expects to narrow the range of industry groups
represented in its holdings it may, prior to making purchases of the actual
securities, establish a long futures position based on a more restricted index,
such as an index comprised of securities of a particular industry group. A Fund
may also sell futures contracts in connection with this strategy, in order to
protect against the possibility that the value of the securities to be sold as
part of the restructuring of the portfolio will decline prior to the time of
sale.

          ---------------------------------------------
examples of transactions in stock index futures (net of commissions and
premiums, if any).

</TABLE>

III.  Margin Payments
      ---------------


          Unlike the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, no price is paid
or received by a Fund upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract.
Initially, the Fund will be required to deposit with the broker or in a
segregated account with the Fund's custodian in an amount of cash or cash
equivalents, known as initial margin, based on the value of the contract. The
nature of initial margin in futures transactions is different from that of
margin in securities transactions in that futures contract margin does not
involve the borrowing of funds by the customer to finance the transactions.
Rather, the initial margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith
deposit on the contract which is returned to the Fund upon termination of the
futures contract assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied.
Subsequent payments, called variation margin, to and from the broker, will be
made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying instruments fluctuates
making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less
valuable, a process known as marking to the market. For example, when a
particular Fund has purchased a futures contract and the price of the contract
has risen in response to a rise in the underlying instruments, that position
will have increased in value and the Fund will be entitled to receive from the
broker a variation margin payment equal to that increase in value. Conversely,
where the Fund has purchased a futures contract and the price of the futures
contract has declined in response to a decrease in the underlying instruments,
the position would be less valuable and the Fund would be required to make a
variation margin payment to the broker. At any time prior to expiration of the
futures contract, the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor may elect to close the
position by taking an opposite position, subject to the availability of a
secondary market, which will operate to terminate the Fund's position in the
futures contract. A final determination of variation margin is then made,
additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund, and the Fund
realizes a loss or gain.

IV.   Risks of Transactions in Futures Contracts
      ------------------------------------------

          There are several risks in connection with the use of futures by the
Funds as hedging devices. One risk arises because of the imperfect correlation
between movements in the price of futures and movements in the price of the
instruments which are the subject of the hedge. The price of futures may move
more than or less than the price of the instruments being hedged. If the price
of futures moves less than the price of the instruments which are the subject of
the hedge, the hedge will not be fully effective but, if the price of the
instruments being hedged has moved in an unfavorable direction, the Fund would
be in a better position than if it had not hedged at all. If the

                                      B-4
<PAGE>


price of the instruments being hedged has moved in a favorable direction, this
advantage will be partially offset by the loss on the futures. If the price of
the futures moves more than the price of the hedged instruments, the Fund
involved will experience either a loss or gain on the futures which will not be
completely offset by movements in the price of the instruments which are the
subject of the hedge. To compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements
in the price of instruments being hedged and movements in the price of futures
contracts, the Fund may buy or sell futures contracts in a greater dollar amount
than the dollar amount of instruments being hedged if the volatility over a
particular time period of the prices of such instruments has been greater than
the volatility over such time period of the futures, or if otherwise deemed to
be appropriate by the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor. Conversely, the Funds
may buy or sell fewer futures contracts if the volatility over a particular time
period of the prices of the instruments being hedged is less than the volatility
over such time period of the futures contract being used, or if otherwise deemed
to be appropriate by the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor. It is also possible
that, when the Fund had sold futures to hedge its portfolio against a decline in
the market, the market may advance and the value of the futures instruments held
in the Fund may decline. If this occurs, the Fund would lose money on the
futures and also experience a decline in value in its portfolio securities.

          Where futures are purchased to hedge against a possible increase in
the price of securities before a Fund is able to invest its cash (or cash
equivalents) in an orderly fashion, it is possible that the market may decline
instead; if the Fund then concludes not to invest its cash at that time because
of concern as to possible further market decline or for other reasons, the Funds
will realize a loss on the futures contract that is not offset by a reduction in
the price of the securities that were to be purchased.

          In instances involving the purchase of futures contracts by the Funds,
an amount of cash and cash equivalents, equal to the market value of the futures
contracts, will be deposited in a segregated account with the Fund's custodian
and/or in a margin account with a broker to collateralize the position and
thereby insure that the use of such futures is unleveraged.


          In addition to the possibility that there may be an imperfect
correlation, or no correlation at all, between movements in the futures and the
instruments being hedged, the price of futures may not correlate perfectly with
movement in the cash market due to certain market distortions. Rather than
meeting additional margin deposit requirements, investors may close futures
contracts through off-setting transactions which could distort the normal
relationship between the cash and futures markets. Second, with respect to
financial futures contracts, the liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into off-setting transactions rather than making or taking
delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced, thus producing distortions. Third, from
the point of view of speculators, the deposit requirements in the futures market
are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities market. Therefore,
increased participation by speculators in the futures market may also cause
temporary price distortions. Due to the possibility of price distortion in the
futures market, and because of the imperfect correlation between the movements
in the cash market and movements in the price of futures, a correct forecast of
general market trends or interest rate movements by the Advisor, World or the
Sub-Advisor may still not result in a successful hedging transaction over a
short time frame.

          Positions in futures may be closed out only on an exchange or board of
trade which provides a secondary market for such futures. Although the Funds
intend to purchase or sell futures only on exchanges or boards of trade where
there appear to be active secondary markets, there is no assurance that a liquid
secondary market on any exchange or board of trade will exist for any particular
contract or at any particular time. When there is no liquid market, it may not
be possible to close a futures investment position, and in the event of adverse
price movements, the Funds would continue to be required to make daily cash
payments of variation margin. However, in the event futures contracts have been
used to hedge portfolio securities, such securities will not be sold until the
futures contract can be terminated. In such circumstances, an increase in the
price of the securities, if any, may partially or completely offset losses on
the futures contract. However, as described above, there is no guarantee that
the price of the securities will in fact correlate with the price movements in
the futures contract and thus provide an offset on a futures contract.

                                      B-5
<PAGE>

          Further, it should be noted that the liquidity of a secondary market
in a futures contract may be adversely affected by "daily price fluctuation
limits" established by commodities exchanges which limit the amount of
fluctuation in a futures contract price during a single trading day. Once the
daily limit has been reached in the contract, no trades may be entered into at a
price beyond the limit, thus preventing the liquidation of open futures
positions. The trading of futures contracts is also subject to the risk of
trading halts, suspensions, exchange or clearing house equipment failures,
government intervention, insolvency of a brokerage firm or clearing house or
other disruptions of normal activity, which could at times make it difficult or
impossible to liquidate existing positions or to recover excess variation margin
payments.


          Successful use of futures by the Funds is also subject to the
Advisor's, World's or the Sub-Advisor's ability to predict correctly movements
in the direction of the market. For example, if a particular Fund has hedged
against the possibility of a decline in the market adversely affecting
securities held by it and securities prices increase instead, the Fund will lose
part or all of the benefit to the increased value of its securities which it has
hedged because it will have offsetting losses in its futures positions. In
addition, in such situations, if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to
sell securities to meet daily variation margin requirements. Such sales of
securities may be, but will not necessarily be, at increased prices which
reflect the rising market. The Funds may have to sell securities at a time when
it may be disadvantageous to do so.

V.   Options on Futures Contracts
     ----------------------------


          The Funds may purchase and write options on the futures contracts
described above. A futures option gives the holder, in return for the premium
paid, the right to buy from(call) or sell to(put) the writer of the option a
futures contract at a specified price at any time during the period of the
option. Upon exercise, the writer of, the option is obligated to pay the
difference between the cash value of the futures contract and the exercise
price. Like the buyer or seller of a futures contract, the holder, or writer, of
an option has the right to terminate its position prior to the scheduled
expiration of the option by selling, or purchasing an option of the same series,
at which time the person entering into the closing transaction will realize a
gain or loss. A Fund will be required to deposit initial margin and variation
margin with respect to put and call options on futures contracts written by it
pursuant to brokers' requirements similar to those described above. Net option
premiums received will be included as initial margin deposits.

          Investments in futures options involve some of the same considerations
that are involved in connection with investments in future contracts (for
example, the existence of a liquid secondary market). In addition, the purchase
or sale of an option also entails the risk that changes in the value of the
underlying futures contract will not correspond to changes in the value of the
option purchased. Depending on the pricing of the option compared to either the
futures contract upon which it is based, or upon the price of the securities
being hedged, an option may or may not be less risky than ownership of the
futures contract or such securities. In general, the market prices of options
can be expected to be more volatile than the market prices on underlying futures
contract. Compared to the purchase or sale of futures contracts, however, the
purchase of call or put options on futures contracts may frequently involve less
potential risk to the Fund because the maximum amount at risk is the premium
paid for the options (plus transaction costs). The writing of an option on a
futures contract involves risks similar to those risks relating to the sale of
futures contracts.

VI.  Currency Transactions
     ---------------------


          The Fund may engage in currency transactions in order to hedge the
value of portfolio holdings denominated in particular currencies against
fluctuations in relative value. Currency transactions include forward currency
contracts, currency futures, options on currencies, and currency swaps. A
forward currency contract involves a privately negotiated obligation to purchase
or sell (with delivery generally required) a specific currency at a future date,
which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon
by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. A currency swap is
an agreement to exchange cash flows based on the notional difference among two
or more currencies and operates similarly to an interest rate swap as described
in the SAI. The Fund may enter into currency transactions with counterparties
which have received (or the guarantors of

                                      B-6
<PAGE>

the obligations which have received) a credit rating of A-1 or P-1 by S&P or
Moody's, respectively, or that have an equivalent rating from a NRSRO or are
determined to be of equivalent credit quality by the Advisor or World.

          The Fund's dealings in forward currency contracts and other currency
transactions such as futures, options, options on futures and swaps will be
limited to hedging involving either specific transactions or portfolio
positions. Transaction hedging is entering into a currency transaction with
respect to specific assets or liabilities of the Fund, which will generally
arise in connection with the purchase or sale of its portfolio securities or the
receipt of income therefrom. Position hedging is entering into a currency
transaction with respect to portfolio security positions denominated or
generally quoted in that currency.

          The Fund will not enter into a transaction to hedge currency exposure
to an extent greater after netting all transactions intended wholly or partially
to offset other transactions, than the aggregate market value (at the time of
entering into the transaction) of the securities held in its portfolio that are
denominated or generally quoted in or currently convertible into such currency,
other than with respect to proxy hedging as described below.

          The Fund may also cross-hedge currencies by entering into transactions
to purchase or sell one or more currencies that are expected to decline in value
relative to other currencies to which the Fund has or in which the Fund expects
to have portfolio exposure.


          To reduce the effect of currency fluctuations on the value of existing
or anticipated holdings of portfolio securities, the Fund may also engage proxy
hedging. Proxy hedging is often used when the currency to which the Fund's
portfolio is exposed is difficult to hedge or to hedge against the dollar. Proxy
hedging entails entering into a commitment or option to sell a currency whose
changes in value are generally considered to be correlated to a currency or
currencies in which some or all of the Fund's portfolio securities are or are
expected to be denominated, in exchange for U.S. dollars. The amount of the
commitment or option would not exceed the value of the Fund's securities
denominated in correlated currencies. For example, if the Advisor, World or the
Sub-Advisor considers that the Austrian schilling is correlated to the German
mark (the "D-mark"), the Fund holds securities denominated in shillings and the
Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor believes that the value of the schillings will
decline against the U.S. dollar, the Advisor, World or the Sub-Advisor may enter
into a commitment or option to sell D-marks and buy dollars. Currency hedging
involves some of the same risks and considerations as other transactions with
similar instruments. Currency transactions can result in losses to the Fund if
the currency being hedged fluctuates in value to a degree or in a direction that
is not anticipated. Further, there is the risk that the perceived correlation
between various currencies may not be present or may not be present during the
particular time that the Fund is engaging in proxy hedging. If a Fund enters
into a currency hedging transaction, the Fund will designate liquid, high grade
assets on the books of the Fund's custodian to the extent the Fund's obligations
are not otherwise "covered" through ownership of the underlying currency.

          Currency transactions are subject to risks different from those of
other portfolio transactions. Because currency control is of great importance to
the issuing governments and influences economic planning and policy, purchases
and sales of currency and related instruments can be negatively affected by
government exchange controls, blockages, and manipulations or exchange
restrictions imposed by governments. These can result in losses to the Fund if
it is unable to deliver or receive currency or funds in settlement of
obligations and could also cause hedges it has entered into to be rendered
useless, resulting in full currency exposure as well as incurring transaction
costs. Buyers and sellers of currency futures are subject to the same risks that
apply to the use of futures generally. Further, settlement of a currency futures
contract for the purchase of most currencies must occur at a bank based in the
issuing nation. Trading options on currency futures is relatively new, and the
ability to establish and close to positions on such options is subject to the
maintenance of a liquid market which may not always be available. Currency
exchange rates may fluctuate based on factors extrinsic to that country's
economy.

VII.  Other Matters
      -------------

          Accounting for futures contracts will be in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                                      B-7
<PAGE>


VII.  Options
      -------

          Each of the Equity Funds, Balanced Fund, Bond Funds, International
Bond Fund and Tax-Free Bond Funds (other than Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Bond
Fund) may write covered call options, buy put options, buy call options and
write secured put options. Such options may relate to particular securities and
may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange and issued by the
Options Clearing Corporation. Options trading is a highly specialized activity
which entails greater than ordinary investment risk. Options on particular
securities may be more volatile than the underlying securities, and therefore,
on a percentage basis, an investment in options may be subject to greater
fluctuation than an investment in the underlying securities themselves.

          A call option for a particular security gives the purchaser of the
option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell,
the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the
expiration of the option, regardless of the market price of the security. The
premium paid to the writer is in consideration for undertaking the obligations
under the option contract. A put option for a particular security gives the
purchaser the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy,
the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the
expiration date of the option, regardless of the market price of the security.

          The writer of an option that wishes to terminate its obligation may
effect a "closing purchase transaction." This is accomplished by buying an
option of the same series as the option previously written. The effect of the
purchase is that the writer's position will be canceled by the clearing
corporation. However, a writer may not effect a closing purchase transaction
after being notified of the exercise of an option. Likewise, an investor who is
the holder of an option may liquidate its position by effecting a "closing sale
transaction." The cost of such a closing purchase plus transaction costs may be
greater than the premium received upon the original option, in which event the
Fund will have incurred a loss in the transaction. There is no guarantee in any
instance that either a closing purchase or a closing sale transaction can be
effected.

          Effecting a closing transaction in the case of a written call option
will permit the Funds to write another call option on the underlying security
with either a different exercise price or expiration date or both, or in the
case of a written put option, will permit the Funds to write another put option
to the extent that the exercise price thereof is secured by deposited cash or
short-term securities. Also, effecting a closing transaction will permit the
cash or proceeds from the concurrent sale of any securities subject to the
option to be used for other Fund investments. If a Fund desires to sell a
particular security from its portfolio on which it has written a call option, it
will effect a closing transaction prior to or concurrent with the sale of the
security.

          The Funds may write options in connection with buy-and-write
transactions; that is, the Funds may purchase a security and then write a call
option against that security. The exercise price of the call the Funds determine
to write will depend upon the expected price movement of the underlying
security. The exercise price of a call option may be below ("in-the-money"),
equal to ("at-the-money") or above ("out-of-the-money") the current value of the
underlying security at the time the option is written. Buy-and-write
transactions using in-the-money call options may be used when it is expected
that the price of the underlying security will remain flat or decline moderately
during the option period. Buy-and-write transactions using out-of-the-money call
options may be used when it is expected that the premiums received from writing
the call option plus the appreciation in the market price of the underlying
security up to the exercise price will be greater than the appreciation in the
price of the underlying security alone. If the call options are exercised in
such transactions, the maximum gain to the relevant Fund will be the premium
received by it for writing the option, adjusted upwards or downwards by the
difference between the Fund's purchase price of the security and the exercise
price. If the options are not exercised and the price of the underlying security
declines, the amount of such decline will be offset in part, or entirely, by the
premium received.

          In the case of writing a call option on a security, the option is
"covered" if a Fund owns the security underlying the call or has an absolute and
immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration
(or, if additional cash consideration is required, cash or liquid securities in
such amount as are earmarked on the books of the Fund's custodian) upon
conversion or exchange of other securities held by it. For a call option on an
index, the option is covered if a Fund maintains with its custodian cash or
liquid securities equal to the contract value. A call option is also covered if
a Fund holds a call on the same security or index as the call

                                      B-8
<PAGE>


written where the exercise price of the call held is (i) equal to or less than
the exercise price of the call written, or (ii) greater than the exercise price
of the call written provided the difference in cash or liquid securities is
earmarked on the books of the Fund's custodian. A Fund will limit its investment
in uncovered call options purchased or written by the Fund to 33 1/3% of the
Fund's total assets. A Fund will write put options only if they are "secured" by
cash or liquid securities earmarked on the books of the Fund's custodian in an
amount not less than the exercise price of the option at all times during the
option period.

          The writing of covered put options is similar in terms of risk/return
characteristics to buy-and-write transactions. If the market price of the
underlying security rises or otherwise is above the exercise price, the put
option will expire worthless and the relevant Fund's gain will be limited to the
premium received. If the market price of the underlying security declines or
otherwise is below the exercise price, the Fund may elect to close the position
or take delivery of the security at the exercise price and the Fund's return
will be the premium received from the put option minus the amount by which the
market price of the security is below the exercise price.

          The Funds may purchase put options to hedge against a decline in the
value of their portfolios. By using put options in this way, a Fund will reduce
any profit it might otherwise have realized in the underlying security by the
amount of the premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs. The
Funds may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price of
securities that they anticipate purchasing in the future. The premium paid for
the call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any,
realized by a Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the
underlying security rises sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the
Fund.

          When a Fund purchases an option, the premium paid by it is recorded as
an asset of the Fund. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net
premium (the premium less the commission) received by the Fund is included in
the liability section of the Fund's statement of assets and liabilities as a
deferred credit. The amount of this asset or deferred credit will be
subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option
purchased or written. The current value of the traded option is the last sale
price or, in the absence of a sale, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices. If an option purchased by the Fund expires unexercised the Fund realizes
a loss equal to the premium paid. If the Fund enters into a closing sale
transaction on an option purchased by it, the Fund will realize a gain if the
premium received by the Fund on the closing transaction is more than the premium
paid to purchase the option, or a loss if it is less. If an option written by
the Fund expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a
closing purchase transaction, it will realize a gain (or loss if the cost of a
closing purchase transaction exceeds the net premium received when the option is
sold) and the deferred credit related to such option will be eliminated. If an
option written by the Fund is exercised, the proceeds of the sale will be
increased by the net premium originally received and the Fund will realize a
gain or loss.

          There are several risks associated with transactions in options on
securities and indices. For example, there are significant differences between
the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation
between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its
objectives. An option writer unable to effect a closing purchase transaction
will not be able to sell the underlying security (in the case of a covered call
option) or liquidate the earmarked securities (in the case of a secured put
option) until the option expires or the optioned security is delivered upon
exercise with the result that the writer in such circumstances will be subject
to the risk of market decline or appreciation in the security during such
period.

          There is no assurance that a Fund will be able to close an unlisted
option position. Furthermore, unlisted options are not subject to the
protections afforded purchasers of listed options by the Options Clearing
Corporation, which performs the obligations of its members who fail to do so in
connection with the purchase or sale of options.

          In addition, a liquid secondary market for particular options, whether
traded over-the-counter or on a national securities exchange (an "Exchange"),
may be absent for reasons which include the following: there may be insufficient
trading interest in certain options; restrictions may be imposed by an Exchange
on opening transactions or closing transactions or both; trading halts,
suspensions or other restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular
classes or series of options or underlying securities; unusual or unforeseen
circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an Exchange; the facilities of
an Exchange or the Options Clearing Corporation may not at all

                                      B-9
<PAGE>


times be adequate to handle current trading volume; or one or more Exchanges
could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date
to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of
options), in which event the secondary market on that Exchange (or in that class
or series of options) would cease to exist, although outstanding options that
had been issued by the Options Clearing Corporation as a result of trades on
that Exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.

          Currency transactions, including options on currencies and currency
futures, are subject to risks different from those of other portfolio
transactions. Because currency control is of great importance to the issuing
governments and influences economic planning and policy, purchases and sales of
currency and related instruments can be negatively affected by government
exchange controls, blockages, and manipulations or exchange restrictions imposed
by governments. These can result in losses to a Fund if it is unable to deliver
or receive currency or funds in settlement of obligations and could also cause
hedges it has entered into to be rendered useless, resulting in full currency
exposure as well as the incurring of transaction costs. Buyers and sellers of
currency futures are subject to the same risks that apply to the use of futures
generally. Further, settlement of a currency futures contract for the purchase
of most currencies must occur at a bank based in the issuing nation. Trading
options on currency futures is relatively new, and the ability to establish and
close out positions on such options is subject to the maintenance of a liquid
market which may not always be available. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
based on factors extrinsic to the issuing country's economy.

     incurred by him in connection with the defense or disposition of any
     action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal in which he may
     be involved or with which he may be threatened, while as a Trustee or
     thereafter, by reason of his being or having been such a Trustee except
     with respect to any matter as to which he shall have been adjudicated to
     have acted in bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless
     disregard of his duties, provided that as to any matter disposed of by a
     compromise payment by such person, pursuant to a consent decree or
     otherwise, no indemnification either for said payment or for any other
     expenses shall be provided unless the Trust shall have received a written
     opinion from independent legal counsel approved by the Trustees to the
     effect that if either the matter of willful misfeasance, gross negligence
     or reckless disregard of duty, or the matter of bad faith had been
     adjudicated, it would in the opinion of such counsel have been adjudicated
     in favor of such person. The rights accruing to any person under these
     provisions shall not exclude any other right to which he may be lawfully
     entitled, provided that no person may satisfy any right of indemnity or
     reimbursement hereunder except out of the property of the Trust. The
     Trustees may make advance payments in connection with the indemnification
     under this Section 9.3, provided that the indemnified person shall have
     given a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust in the event it is
     subsequently determined that he is not entitled to such indemnification.

     The Trustees shall indemnify officers, representatives and employees of the
     Trust to the same extent that Trustees are entitled to indemnification
     pursuant to this Section 9.3.

     Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act
     of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of
     Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant
     has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
     the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
     indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
     Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or
     controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
     suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling
     person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will,
     unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
     controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
     question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
     expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
     issue.

     Section 9.6 of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust,
     incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 1(a), also provides for the
     indemnification of shareholders of the Registrant. Section 9.6 states as
     follows:

     Indemnification of Shareholders. In case any Shareholder or former
     Shareholder shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his
     being or having been a Shareholder and not because of his acts or omissions
     or for some other reason, the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or his
     heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or, in the
     case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or

                                       5

     other general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets belonging to
     the classes of Shares with the same alphabetical designation as that of the
     Shares owned by such Shareholder to be held harmless from and indemnified
     against all loss and expense arising from such liability. The Trust shall,
     upon request by the Shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made
     against any Shareholder for any act or obligations of the Trust and satisfy
     any judgment thereon from such assets.

     This Contract between The Munder Funds Trust, a business trust organized
and existing under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, having its

hereinafter called the "Fund", and State Street Bank and Trust Company, a
Massachusetts trust company, having its principal place of business at 225
Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02110, hereinafter called the
"Custodian",

                                  WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Fund has appointed the Custodian as custodian of its assets;

     WHEREAS, the Fund is authorized to issue shares in separate series, with
each such series representing interests in a separate portfolio of securities
and other assets; and

     WHEREAS, the Fund currently offers shares in fourteen series, Munder
Balanced Fund, Munder Bond Fund, Munder Cash Investment Fund, Munder Growth &
Income Fund, Munder Index 500 Fund, Munder Intermediate Bond Fund, Munder
International Equity Fund, Munder Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund, Munder Small
Company Growth Fund, Munder Tax-Free Bond Fund, Munder Tax-Free Short-
Intermediate Bond Fund, Munder Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Munder U.S.
Government Income Fund, and Munder U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (such series
together with all other series subsequently established by the Fund and made
subject to this Contract in accordance with paragraph 18, being herein referred
to as the "Portfolio(s)");

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Employment of Custodian and Property to be Held by It
     -----------------------------------------------------

     The Fund hereby employs the Custodian as the custodian of the assets of the
Portfolios of the Fund, including securities which the Fund, on behalf of the
applicable Portfolio desires to be held in places within the United States
("domestic securities") and securities it desires to be held outside the United
States ("foreign securities") pursuant to the provisions of the Declaration of
Trust. The Fund on behalf of the Portfolio(s) agrees to deliver to the Custodian
all securities and cash of the Portfolios, and all payments of income, payments
of principal or capital distributions received by it with respect to all
securities owned by the Portfolio(s) from time to time, and the cash
consideration received by it for such new or treasury shares of beneficial
interest of the Fund representing interests in the Portfolios, ("Shares") as may
be issued or sold from time to time. The Custodian shall not be responsible for
any property of a Portfolio held or received by the Portfolio and not delivered
to the Custodian.

     Upon receipt of "Proper Instructions" (within the meaning of Article 6),
the Custodian shall on behalf of the applicable Portfolio(s) from time to time
employ one or more sub-custodians, located in the United States but only in
accordance with an applicable vote by the Board of Trustees
<PAGE>

of the Fund on behalf of the applicable Portfolio(s), and provided that the
Custodian shall have no more or less responsibility or liability to the Fund on
account of any actions or omissions of any sub-custodian so employed than any
such sub-custodian has to the Custodian. The Custodian may employ as sub-
custodian for the Fund's foreign securities on behalf of the applicable
Portfolio(s) the foreign banking institutions and foreign securities
depositories designated in Schedules A and B hereto but only in accordance with
the applicable provisions of Articles 3 and 4.

          Fund and certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary,
          specifying the securities of the Portfolio to be delivered, setting
          forth the purpose for which such delivery is to be made, declaring
          such purpose to be a proper corporate purpose, and naming the person
          or persons to whom delivery of such securities shall be made.

2.3  Registration of Securities. Domestic securities held by the Custodian
     (other than bearer securities) shall be registered in the name of the

     Portfolio or of any nominee of the Custodian which nominee shall be
     assigned exclusively to the Portfolio, unless the Fund has authorized in
     writing the appointment of a nominee to be used in common with other
     registered investment companies having the same investment adviser as the
     Portfolio, or in the name or nominee name of any agent appointed pursuant
     to Section 2.9 or in the name or nominee name of any sub-custodian
     appointed pursuant to Article 1. All securities accepted by the Custodian
     on behalf of the Portfolio under the terms of this Contract shall be in
     "street name" or other good delivery form. If, however, the Fund directs
     the Custodian to maintain securities in "street name", the Custodian shall
     utilize its best efforts only to timely collect income due the Fund on such
     securities and to notify the Fund on a best efforts basis only of relevant
     corporate actions including, without limitation, pendency of calls,
     maturities, tender or exchange offers.

2.4  Bank Accounts. The Custodian shall open and maintain a separate bank
     account or accounts in the United States in the name of each Portfolio of
     the Fund, subject only to draft or order by the Custodian acting pursuant
     to the terms of this Contract, and shall hold in such account or accounts,
     subject to the provisions hereof, all cash received by it from or for

                                      4.
<PAGE>

     the account of the Portfolio, other than cash maintained by the Portfolio
     in a bank account established and used in accordance with Rule 17f-3 under
     the Investment Company Act of 1940. Funds held by the Custodian for a
     Portfolio may be deposited by it to its credit as Custodian in the Banking
     Department of the Custodian or in such other banks or trust companies as it
     may in its discretion deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that
     every such bank or trust company shall be qualified to act as a Custodian
     under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that each such bank or trust
     company and the funds to be deposited with each such bank or trust company
     shall on behalf of each applicable Portfolio be approved by vote of a
     majority of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Such funds shall be
     deposited by the Custodian in its capacity as Custodian and shall be
     withdrawable by the Custodian only in that capacity.

2.5  Availability of Federal Funds. Upon mutual agreement between the Fund on
     behalf of each applicable Portfolio and the Custodian, the Custodian shall,
     upon the receipt of Proper Instructions from the Fund on behalf of a
     Portfolio, make federal funds available to such Portfolio as of specified
     times agreed upon from time to time by the Fund and the Custodian in the
     amount of checks received in payment for Shares of such Portfolio which are
     deposited into the Portfolio's account.

2.6  Collection of Income. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, the
     Custodian shall collect on a timely basis all income and other payments
     with respect to registered domestic securities held hereunder to which each
     Portfolio shall be entitled either by law or pursuant to custom in the
     securities business, and shall collect on a timely basis all income and
     other payments with respect to bearer domestic securities if, on the date
     of payment by the issuer, such securities are held by the Custodian or its
     agent thereof and shall credit such income, as collected, to such
     Portfolio's Custodian account. Without limiting the generality of the
     foregoing, the Custodian shall detach and present for payment all coupons
     and other income items requiring presentation as and when they become due
     and shall collect interest when due on securities held hereunder. Income
     due each Portfolio on securities loaned pursuant to the provisions of
     Section 2.2 (10) shall be the responsibility of the Fund. The Custodian
     will have no duty or responsibility in connection therewith, other than to
     provide the Fund with such information or data as may be necessary to
     assist the Fund in arranging for the timely delivery to the Custodian of
     the income to which the Portfolio is properly entitled.

2.7  Payment of Fund Monies. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions from the Fund
     on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, which may be continuing instructions
     when deemed appropriate by the parties, the Custodian shall pay out monies
     of a Portfolio in the following cases only:

          or options on futures contracts for the account of the Portfolio but

          Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to act as a Custodian and
          has been designated by the Custodian as its agent for this purpose)

          the Portfolio or in the name of a nominee of the Custodian referred to
          in Section 2.3 hereof or in proper form for transfer; (b) in the case

          with the conditions set forth in Section 2.10 hereof; (c) in the case
          of a purchase involving the Direct Paper System, in accordance with

          certificate form or through an entry crediting the Custodian's account
          at the Federal Reserve Bank with such securities or (ii) against

          securities owned by the Custodian along with written evidence of the
          agreement by the Custodian to repurchase such securities from the
          Portfolio or (e) for transfer to a time deposit account of the Fund in
          any bank, whether domestic or foreign; such transfer may be effected
          prior to receipt of a confirmation from a broker and/or the applicable
          bank pursuant to Proper Instructions from the Fund as defined in
          Article 6;

     2)   In connection with conversion, exchange or surrender of securities
          owned by the Portfolio as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof;

          including but not limited to the following payments for the account of
          the Portfolio: interest, taxes, management, accounting, transfer agent
          and legal fees, and operating expenses of the Fund whether or not such
          expenses are to be in whole or part capitalized or treated as deferred
          expenses;

     5)   For the payment of any dividends on Shares of the Portfolio declared

     6)   For payment of the amount of dividends received in respect of

     7)   For any other proper purpose, but only upon receipt of, in addition to

          certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Trustees or of the
          Executive Committee of the Fund signed by an officer of the Fund and
          certified by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, specifying the
          amount of such payment, setting forth the purpose for which such
          payment is to be made, declaring such purpose to be a proper purpose,
          and naming the person or persons to whom such payment is to be made.

2.8  Liability for Payment in Advance of Receipt of Securities Purchased. Except
     as specifically stated otherwise in this Contract, in any and every case
     where payment for purchase of domestic securities for the account of a
     Portfolio is made by the Custodian in advance of

<PAGE>

     receipt of the securities purchased in the absence of specific written
     instructions from the Fund on behalf of such Portfolio to so pay in
     advance, the Custodian shall be absolutely liable to the Fund for such
     securities to the same extent as if the securities had been received by the
     Custodian.

2.9  Appointment of Assets. The Custodian may at any time or times in its
     discretion appoint (and may at any time remove) any other bank or trust
     company which is itself qualified under the Investment Company Act of 1940,

     provisions of this Article 2 as the Custodian may from time to time direct;
     provided, however, that the appointment of any agent shall not relieve the
     Custodian of its responsibilities or liabilities hereunder.

          (ii) the making of an entry on the records of the Custodian to reflect
          such payment and transfer for the account of the Portfolio. The
          Custodian shall transfer securities sold for the account of the
          Portfolio upon (i) receipt of advice from the U.S. Securities System
          that payment for such securities has been transferred to the Account,
          and (ii) the making of an entry on the records of the Custodian to
          reflect such transfer and payment for the account of the Portfolio.
          Copies of all advices from the U.S. Securities System of transfers of
          securities for the account of the Portfolio shall identify the
          Portfolio, be maintained for the Portfolio by the Custodian and be
          provided to the Fund at its request. Upon request, the Custodian shall

          transfer to or from the account of the Portfolio in the form of a
          written advice or notice and shall furnish to the Fund on behalf of
          the Portfolio copies of daily

     transaction sheets reflecting each day's transactions in the U.S.
     Securities System for the account of the Portfolio;

     4)   The Custodian shall provide the Fund for the Portfolio with any report
          obtained by the Custodian on the U.S. Securities System's accounting
          system, internal accounting control and procedures for safeguarding
          securities deposited in the U.S. Securities System;

     5)   The Custodian shall have received from the Fund on behalf of the
          Portfolio the initial or annual certificate, as the case may be,
          required by Article 15 hereof;

     6)   Anything to the contrary in this Contract notwithstanding, the
          Custodian shall be liable to the Fund for the benefit of the Portfolio
          for any loss or damage to the Portfolio resulting from use of the U.S.
          Securities System by reason of any negligence, misfeasance or
          misconduct of the Custodian or any of its agents or of any of its or
          their employees or from failure of the Custodian or any such agent to
          enforce effectively such rights as it may have against the U.S.
          Securities System; at the election of the Fund, it shall be entitled

     holding Foreign Assets in a particular country including, but not limited
     to, such country's political environment; economic and financial

     and laws and regulations applicable to the safekeeping and recovery of
     Foreign Assets held in custody in that country.

     "Eligible Foreign Custodian" has the meaning set forth in section (a)(1)
     of Rule 17f-5, including a majority-owned or indirect subsidiary of a U.S.
     Bank (as defined in Rule 17f-5), a bank holding company meeting the
     requirements of an Eligible Foreign Custodian (as set forth in Rule 17f-5
     or by other appropriate action of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
     Commission (the "SEC")), or a foreign branch of a Bank (as defined in
     Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act) meeting the requirements of a custodian
     under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act, except that the term does not include
     Mandatory Securities Depositories.

     "Foreign Assets" means any of the Portfolios' investments (including

<PAGE>

     "Mandatory Securities Depository" means a foreign securities depository or
     clearing agency that, either as a legal or practical matter, must be used
     if the Fund, on the Portfolio's behalf, determines to place Foreign Assets
     in a country outside the United States (i) because required by law or
     regulation; (ii) because securities cannot be withdrawn from such foreign
     securities depository or clearing agency; or (iii) because maintaining or
     effecting trades in securities outside the foreign securities depository or
     clearing agency is not consistent with prevailing or developing custodial
     or market practices.

3.2. Delegation to the Custodian as Foreign Custody Manager. The Fund, by
     resolution adopted by its Board of Trustees, hereby delegates to the
     Custodian, with respect to the Portfolios, subject to Section (b) of Rule
     17f-5, the responsibilities set forth in this Article 3 with respect to
     Foreign Assets of the Portfolios held outside the United States, and the
     Custodian hereby accepts such delegation, as Foreign Custody Manager with
     respect to the Portfolios.

3.3. Countries Covered. The Foreign Custody Manager shall be responsible for
     performing the delegated responsibilities defined below only with respect
     to the countries and custody arrangements for each such country listed on
     Schedule A to this Contract, which list of countries may be amended from
     time to time by the Fund with the agreement of the Foreign Custody Manager.
     The Foreign Custody Manager shall list on Schedule A the Eligible Foreign
     Custodians selected by the Foreign Custody Manager to maintain the assets
     of the Portfolios which list of Eligible Foreign Custodians may be amended
     from time to time in the sole discretion of the Foreign Custody Manager.
     Mandatory Securities Depositories are listed on Schedule B to this
     Contract, which Schedule B may be amended from time to time by the Foreign
     Custody Manager. The Foreign Custody Manager will provide amended versions
     of Schedules A and B in accordance with Section 3.7 of this Article 3.

     Upon the receipt by the Foreign Custody Manager of Proper Instructions to
     open an account or to place or maintain Foreign Assets in a country listed
     on Schedule A, and the fulfillment by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolios
     of the applicable account opening requirements for such country, the
     Foreign Custody Manager shall be deemed to have been delegated by the Board
     of Trustees on behalf of the Portfolios responsibility as Foreign Custody
     Manager with respect to that country and to have accepted such delegation.
     Execution of this Amendment by the Fund shall be deemed to be a Proper
     Instruction to open an account, or to place or maintain Foreign Assets, in
     each country listed on Schedule A in which the Custodian has previously
     placed or currently maintains Foreign Assets pursuant to the terms of the
     Contract. Following the receipt of Proper Instructions directing the
     Foreign Custody Manager to close the account of a Portfolio with the
     Eligible Foreign Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager in a
     designated country, the delegation by the Board of Trustees on behalf of
     the Portfolios to the Custodian as Foreign Custody Manager for that country
     shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and the Custodian shall immediately
     cease to be the Foreign Custody Manager of the Portfolios with respect to
     that country.

     The Foreign Custody Manager may withdraw its acceptance of delegated
     responsibilities with respect to a designated country upon written notice
     to the Fund. Thirty days (or such

                                      11.
<PAGE>

     longer period as to which the parties agree in writing) after receipt of
     any such notice by the Fund, the Custodian shall have no further

     country as to which the Custodian's acceptance of delegation is withdrawn.

3.4. Scope of Delegated Responsibilities.

     3.4.1. Selection of Eligible Foreign Custodians.

     Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, the Portfolio's Foreign
     Custody Manager may place and maintain the Foreign Assets in the care of
     the Eligible Foreign Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager in
     each country listed on Schedule A, as amended from time to time.

     In performing its delegated responsibilities as Foreign Custody Manager to
     place or maintain Foreign Assets with an Eligible Foreign Custodian, the
     Foreign Custody Manager shall determine that the Foreign Assets will be
     subject to reasonable care, based on the standards applicable to custodians
     in the country in which the Foreign Assets will be held by that Eligible
     Foreign Custodian, after considering all factors relevant to the
     safekeeping of such assets, including, without limitation the factors
     specified in Rule 17f-5(c)(1).

     3.4.2. Contracts With Eligible Foreign Custodians.

     The Foreign Custody Manager shall determine that the contract (or the rules
     or established practices or procedures in the case of an Eligible Foreign
     Custodian that is a foreign securities depository or clearing agency)
     governing the foreign custody arrangements with each Eligible Foreign
     Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager will satisfy the
     requirements of Rule 17f-5(c)(2).

     3.4.3. Monitoring.

     In each case in which the Foreign Custody Manager maintains Foreign Assets
     with an Eligible Foreign Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager,
     the Foreign Custody Manager shall establish a system to monitor (i) the
     appropriateness of maintaining the Foreign Assets with such Eligible
     Foreign Custodian and (ii) the contract governing the custody arrangements
     established by the Foreign Custody Manager with the Eligible Foreign
     Custodian (or the rules or established practices and procedures in the case
     of an Eligible Foreign Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager
     which is a foreign securities depository or clearing agency that is not a
     Mandatory Securities Depository). In the event the Foreign Custody Manager
     determines that the custody arrangements with an Eligible Foreign Custodian
     it has selected are no longer appropriate, the Foreign Custody Manager
     shall notify the Board of Trustees in accordance with Section 3.7
     hereunder.

     maintaining the Foreign Assets in each country for which the Custodian is
     serving as Foreign Custody Manager of the Portfolios. The Fund, on behalf
     of the Portfolios, and the Board of Trustees shall be deemed to be
     monitoring on a continuing basis such Country Risk to the extent that the
     Board of Trustees considers necessary or appropriate. The Fund and the
     Custodian each expressly acknowledge that the Foreign Custody Manager shall
     not be delegated any responsibilities under this Article 3 with respect to
     Mandatory Securities Depositories.

3.6. Standard of Care as Foreign Custody Manager of a Portfolio. In performing
     the responsibilities delegated to it, the Foreign Custody Manager agrees to
     exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence such as a person having
     responsibility for the safekeeping of assets of management investment
     companies registered under the 1940 Act would exercise.

3.7. Reporting Requirements. The Foreign Custody Manager shall report the
     withdrawal of the Foreign Assets from an Eligible Foreign Custodian and the
     placement of such Foreign Assets with another Eligible Foreign Custodian by
     providing to the Board of Trustees amended Schedules A or B at the end of
     the calendar quarter in which an amendment to either Schedule has occurred.
     The Foreign Custody Manager shall make written reports notifying the Board
     of Trustees of any other material change in the foreign custody
     arrangements of the Portfolios described in this Article 3 after the
     occurrence of the material change.

3.8. Representations with Respect to Rule 17f-5. The Foreign Custody Manager
     represents to the Fund that it is a U.S. Bank as defined in section (a)(7)
     of Rule 17f-5.

     The Fund represents to the Custodian that the Board of Trustees has
     determined that it is reasonable for the Board of Trustees to rely on the
     Custodian to perform the responsibilities delegated pursuant to this
     Contract to the Custodian as the Foreign Custody Manager of the Portfolios.

     The Board of Trustees's delegation to the Custodian as Foreign Custody
     Manager of the Portfolios shall be effective as of the date hereof and
     shall remain in effect until terminated at any time, without penalty, by
     written notice from the terminating party to the non-terminating party.
     Termination will become effective thirty (30) days after receipt by the
     non-terminating party of such notice. The provisions of Section 3.3 hereof
     shall govern the delegation to and termination of the Custodian as Foreign
     Custody Manager of the Portfolios with respect to designated countries.

     practice does not facilitate the maintenance of, cash on the books of the
     Custodian, a bank account or bank accounts opened and maintained outside
     the United States on behalf of a Portfolio with a Foreign Sub-Custodian
     shall be subject only to draft or order by the Custodian or such Foreign
     Sub-Custodian, acting pursuant to the terms of this Contract to hold cash
     received by or from or for the account of the Portfolio.

4.7. Collection of Income. The Custodian shall use reasonable commercial efforts
     to collect all income and other payments with respect to the Foreign Assets
     held hereunder to which the Portfolios shall be entitled and shall credit
     such income, as collected, to the applicable Portfolio. In the event that
     extraordinary measures are required to collect such income, the Fund and
     the Custodian shall consult as to such measures and as to the compensation
     and expenses of the Custodian relating to such measures.

4.8. Shareholder Rights. With respect to the foreign securities held pursuant to
     this Article 4, the Custodian will use reasonable commercial efforts to
     facilitate the exercise of voting and other shareholder rights, subject
     always to the laws, regulations and practical constraints that may exist in
     the country where such securities are issued. The Fund acknowledges that
     local conditions, including lack of regulation, onerous procedural
     obligations, lack of notice and other factors may have the effect of
     severely limiting the ability of the Fund to exercise shareholder rights.

4.9. Communications Relating to Foreign Securities. The Custodian shall transmit
     promptly to the Fund written information (including, without limitation,
     pendency of calls and maturities of foreign securities and expirations of
     rights in connection therewith) received

                                      17.
<PAGE>

       by the Custodian via the Foreign Sub-Custodians from issuers of the
       foreign securities being held for the account of the Portfolios. With
       respect to tender or exchange offers, the Custodian shall transmit
       promptly to the Fund written information so received by the Custodian
       from issuers of the foreign securities whose tender or exchange is sought
       or from the party (or its agents) making the tender or exchange offer.
       The Custodian shall not be liable for any untimely exercise of any
       tender, exchange or other right or power in connection with foreign
       securities or other property of the Portfolios at any time held by it
       unless (i) the Custodian or the respective Foreign Sub-Custodian is in
       actual possession of such foreign securities or property and (ii) the
       Custodian receives Proper Instructions with regard to the exercise of any
       such right or power, and both (i) and (ii) occur at least three business
       days prior to the date on which the Custodian is to take action to
       exercise such right or power.

4.10.  Liability of Foreign Sub-Custodians and Foreign Securities Systems. Each
       agreement pursuant to which the Custodian employs a Foreign Sub-Custodian
       shall, to the extent possible, require the Foreign Sub-Custodian to
       exercise reasonable care in the performance of its duties and, to the
       extent possible, to indemnify, and hold harmless, the Custodian from and
       against any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim arising out
       of or in connection with the Foreign Sub-Custodian's performance of such
       obligations. At the Fund's election, the Portfolios shall be entitled to
       be subrogated to the rights of the Custodian with respect to any claims
       against a Foreign Sub-Custodian as a consequence of any such loss,
       damage, cost, expense, liability or claim if and to the extent that the
       Portfolios have not been made whole for any such loss, damage, cost,
       expense, liability or claim.

4.11.  Tax Law. The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability for any
       obligations now or hereafter imposed on the Fund, the Portfolios or the
       Custodian as custodian of the Portfolios by the tax law of the United
       States or of any state or political subdivision thereof. It shall be the
       responsibility of the Fund to notify the Custodian of the obligations
       imposed on the Fund with respect to the Portfolios or the Custodian as
       custodian of the Portfolios by the tax law of countries other than those
       mentioned in the above sentence, including responsibility for withholding
       and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges,
       certifications and governmental reporting. The sole responsibility of the
       Custodian with regard to such tax law shall be to use reasonable efforts
       to assist the Fund with respect to any claim for exemption or refund
       under the tax law of countries for which the Fund has provided such
       information.

4.12.  Conflict. If the Custodian is delegated the responsibilities of Foreign
       Custody Manager pursuant to the terms of Section 3 hereof, in the event
       of any conflict between the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 hereof, the
       provisions of Section 3 shall prevail

5.     Payments for Sales or Repurchases or Redemptions of Shares of the Fund

       The Custodian shall receive from the distributor for the Shares or from
the transfer agent of the Fund and deposit into the account of the appropriate
Portfolio such payments as are received for

                                      18.
<PAGE>

Shares of that Portfolio issued or sold from time to time by the Fund. The
Custodian will provide timely notification to the Fund on behalf of each such
Portfolio and the transfer agent of any receipt by it of payments for Shares of
such Portfolio.

     From such funds as may be available for the purpose but subject to the
limitations of the Declaration of Trust and any applicable votes of the Board of
Trustees of the Fund pursuant thereto, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of
instructions from the transfer agent, make funds available for payment to
holders of Shares who have delivered to the transfer agent a request for
redemption or repurchase of their Shares. In connection with the redemption or
repurchase of Shares of a Portfolio, the Custodian is authorized upon receipt of
instructions from the transfer agent to wire funds to or through a commercial
bank designated by the redeeming shareholders. In connection with the redemption
or repurchase of Shares of the Fund, the Custodian shall honor checks drawn on
the Custodian by a holder of Shares, which checks have been furnished by the
Fund to the holder of Shares, when presented to the Custodian in accordance with
such procedures and controls as are mutually agreed upon from time to time
between the Fund and the Custodian.

6.   Proper Instructions

     Proper Instructions as used throughout this Contract means a writing signed
or initialed by one or more person or persons as the Board of Trustees shall
have from time to time authorized. Each such writing shall set forth the
specific transaction or type of transaction involved, including a specific
statement of the purpose for which such action is requested. Oral instructions
will be considered Proper Instructions if the Custodian reasonably believes them
to have been given by a person authorized to give such instructions with respect
to the transaction involved. The Fund shall cause all oral instructions to be
confirmed in writing. Upon receipt of a certificate of the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary as to the authorization by the Board of Trustees of the Fund
accompanied by a detailed description of procedures approved by the Board of
Trustees, Proper Instructions may include communications effected directly
between electro-mechanical or electronic devices provided that the Board of
Trustees and the Custodian are satisfied that such procedures afford adequate
safeguards for the Portfolios' assets. For purposes of this Section, Proper
Instructions shall include instructions received by the Custodian pursuant to
any three-party agreement which requires a segregated asset account in
accordance with Section 2.12.

7.   Actions Permitted without Express Authority

     The Custodian may in its discretion, without express authority from the
Fund on behalf of each applicable Portfolio:

     1)   make payments to itself or others for minor expenses of handling
          securities or other similar items relating to its duties under this
          Contract, provided that all such payments shall be accounted for to
          the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio;

     2)   surrender securities in temporary form for securities in definitive
          form;

                                      19.
<PAGE>

     3)   endorse for collection, in the name of the Portfolio, checks, drafts
          and other negotiable instruments; and

     4)   in general, attend to all non-discretionary details in connection with
          the sale, exchange, substitution, purchase, transfer and other
          dealings with the securities and property of the Portfolio except as
          otherwise directed by the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

8.   Evidence of Authority

     The Custodian shall be protected in acting upon any instructions, notice,
request, consent, certificate or other instrument or paper believed by it to be
genuine and to have been properly executed by or on behalf of the Fund. The
Custodian may receive and accept a certified copy of a vote of the Board of
Trustees of the Fund as conclusive evidence (a) of the authority of any person
to act in accordance with such vote or (b) of any determination or of any action
by the Board of Trustees pursuant to the Declaration of Trust as described in
such vote, and such vote may be considered as in full force and effect until
receipt by the Custodian of written notice to the contrary.

9.   Duties of Custodian with Respect to the Books of Account and Calculation of
     Net Asset Value and Net Income

     The Custodian shall keep the books of account of each Portfolio and compute
the net asset value per share of the outstanding shares of each Portfolio. The
Custodian shall also calculate daily the net income of the Portfolio as
described in the Fund's currently effective prospectus related to such Portfolio
and shall advise the Fund and the transfer agent daily of the total amounts of
such net income and shall advise the transfer agent periodically of the division
of such net income among its various components. The calculations of the net
asset value per share and the daily income of each Portfolio shall be made at
the time or times described from time to time in the Fund's currently effective
prospectus related to such Portfolio.

10.  Records

     The Custodian shall with respect to each Portfolio create and maintain all
records relating to its activities and obligations under this Contract in such
manner as will meet the obligations of the Fund under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, with particular attention to Section 31 thereof and Rules 31a-1 and
31a-2 thereunder. All such records shall be the property of the Fund and shall
at all times during the regular business hours of the Custodian be open for
inspection by duly authorized officers, employees or agents of the Fund and
employees and agents of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Custodian
shall, at the Fund's request, supply the Fund with a tabulation of securities
owned by each Portfolio and held by the Custodian and shall, when requested to
do so by the Fund and for such compensation as shall be agreed upon between the
Fund and the Custodian, include certificate numbers in such tabulations.

                                      20.
<PAGE>

11.  Opinion of Fund's Independent Accountant

     The Custodian shall take all reasonable action, as the Fund on behalf of
each applicable Portfolio may from time to time request, to obtain from year to
year favorable opinions from the Fund's independent accountants with respect to
its activities hereunder in connection with the preparation of the Fund's Form
N-lA, and Form N-SAR or other annual reports to the SEC and with respect to any
other requirements thereof.

12.  Reports to Fund by Independent Public Accountants

     The Custodian shall provide the Fund, on behalf of each of the Portfolios
at such times as the Fund may reasonably require, with reports by independent
public accountants on the accounting system, internal accounting control and
procedures for safeguarding securities, futures contracts and options on futures
contracts, including securities deposited and/or maintained in a Securities
System, relating to the services provided by the Custodian under this Contract;
such reports, shall be of sufficient scope and in sufficient detail, as may
reasonably be required by the Fund to provide reasonable assurance that any
material inadequacies would be disclosed by such examination, and, if there are
no such inadequacies, the reports shall so state.

13.  Compensation of Custodian

     The Custodian shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services
and expenses as Custodian, as agreed upon from time to time between the Fund on
behalf of each applicable Portfolio and the Custodian.

14.  Responsibility of Custodian

     So long as and to the extent that it is in the exercise of reasonable care,
the Custodian shall not be responsible for the title, validity or genuineness of
any property or evidence of title thereto received by it or delivered by it
pursuant to this Contract and shall be held harmless in acting upon any notice,
request, consent, certificate or other instrument reasonably believed by it to
be genuine and to be signed by the proper party or parties, including any
futures commission merchant acting pursuant to the terms of a three-party
futures or options agreement. The Custodian shall be held to the exercise of
reasonable care in carrying out the provisions of this Contract, but shall be
kept indemnified by the Fund and shall be without liability to the Fund for any
action taken or omitted by it in good faith without negligence, willful
misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under this
Contract. It shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon advice of counsel
(who may be counsel for the Fund) on all matters, and shall be without liability
for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice. The
Custodian shall be without liability to the Fund and the Portfolios for any
loss, liability, claim or expense resulting from or caused by anything which is
(A) part of Country Risk (as defined in Section 3 hereof), including without
limitation nationalization, expropriation, currency restriction, or acts of war,
revolution, riots or terrorism, or (B) part of the "prevailing country risk" of
the Portfolios, as such term is used in SEC Release Nos. IC-22658;IS-1080 (May
12, 1997) or as such term or other similar terms are now or

                                      21.
<PAGE>

in the future interpreted by the SEC or by the staff of the Division of
Investment Management thereof.

     Except as may arise from the Custodian's own bad faith, negligence, willful
misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder or the
bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct or reckless disregard of the duties
and obligations of a sub-custodian or agent, the Custodian shall be without
liability to the Fund for any loss, liability, claim or expense resulting from
or caused by; (i) events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the
Custodian or any sub-custodian or Securities System or any agent or nominee of
any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, nationalization or
expropriation, imposition of currency controls or restrictions, the
interruption, suspension or restriction of trading on or the closure of any
securities market, power or other mechanical or technological failures or
interruptions, computer viruses or communications disruptions, acts of war or
terrorism, riots, revolutions, work stoppages, natural disasters or other
similar events or acts; (ii) errors by the Fund or the Investment Advisor in
their instructions to the Custodian provided such instructions have been in
accordance with this Contract; (iii) the insolvency of or acts or omissions by a
Securities System; (iv) any delay or failure of any broker, agent or
intermediary, central bank or other commercially prevalent payment or clearing
system to deliver to the Custodian's sub-custodian or agent securities purchased
or in the remittance or payment made in connection with securities sold; (v) any
delay or failure of any company, corporation, or other body in charge of
registering or transferring securities in the name of the Custodian, the Fund,
the Custodian's sub-custodians, nominees or agents or any consequential losses
arising out of such delay or failure to transfer such securities including non-
receipt of bonus, dividends and rights and other accretions or benefits; (vi)
delays or inability to perform its duties due to any disorder in market
infrastructure with respect to any particular security or Securities System; and
(vii) any provision of any present or future law or regulation or order of the
United States of America, or any state thereof, or any other country, or
political subdivision thereof or of any court of competent jurisdiction.

     The Custodian shall be liable for the acts or omissions of a Foreign Sub-
Custodian to the same extent as set forth with respect to sub-custodians
generally in this Contract.

     If the Fund on behalf of a Portfolio requires the Custodian to take any
action with respect to securities, which action involves the payment of money or
which action may, in the opinion of the Custodian, result in the Custodian or
its nominee assigned to the Fund or the Portfolio being liable for the payment
of money or incurring liability of some other form, the Fund on behalf of the
Portfolio, as a prerequisite to requiring the Custodian to take such action,
shall provide indemnity to the Custodian in an amount and form satisfactory to
it.

     If the Fund requires the Custodian, its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents,
to advance cash or securities for any purpose (including but not limited to
securities settlements, foreign exchange contracts and assumed settlement) or in
the event that the Custodian or its nominee shall incur or be assessed any
taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities in connection with
the performance of this Contract, except such as may arise from its or its
nominee's own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct,
any property at any time held for the account of the applicable Portfolio shall
be security therefor to the extent thereof, and should the Fund fail

                                      22.
<PAGE>

to repay the Custodian promptly, the Custodian shall be entitled to utilize
available cash and to dispose of such Portfolio's assets to the extent
necessary to obtain reimbursement.

     The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability for any acts or
omissions of any prior custodian, subcustodian, accounting agent or other
service provider to the Fund and shall be indemnified by the Fund against any
claims arising out of or attributable to the acts or omissions of any prior
custodian, subcustodian, accounting agent or other service provider. Without in
any way limiting the foregoing, the Custodian shall have no liability in respect
of any loss, damage or expense suffered by the Fund insofar as such loss, damage
or expense arises from the performance of the Custodian's duties hereunder in
reliance upon records that were maintained for the Fund by entities other than
the Custodian prior to the Custodian's appointment as custodian for the Fund.

     In no event shall the Custodian be liable for indirect, special or
     consequential damages.

15.  Effective Period, Termination and Amendment

     This Contract shall become effective as of its execution, shall continue in
full force and effect until terminated as hereinafter provided, may be amended
at any time by mutual agreement of the parties hereto and may be terminated by
the Fund or the Custodian by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed,
postage prepaid to the other parties, such termination to take effect not sooner
than thirty (30) days after the date of such delivery or mailing; provided,
however that the Custodian shall not with respect to a Portfolio act under
Section 2.10 hereof in the absence of receipt of an initial certificate of the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary that the Board of Trustees of the Fund has
approved the initial use of a particular Securities System by such Portfolio, as
required by Rule 17f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and
that the Custodian shall not with respect to a Portfolio act under Section 2.11
hereof in the absence of receipt of an initial certificate of the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary that the Board of Trustees has approved the initial use
of the Direct Paper System by such Portfolio; provided further, however, that
the Fund shall not amend or terminate this Contract in contravention of any
applicable federal or state regulations, or any provision of the Declaration of
Trust, and further provided, that the Fund on behalf of one or more of the
Portfolios may at any time by action of its Board of Trustees (i) substitute
another bank or trust company for the Custodian by giving notice as described
above to the Custodian, or (ii) immediately terminate this Contract in the event
of the appointment of a conservator or receiver for the Custodian by the
Comptroller of the Currency or upon the happening of a like event at the
direction of an appropriate regulatory agency or court of competent
jurisdiction.

     Upon termination of the Contract, the Fund on behalf of each applicable
Portfolio shall pay to the Custodian such compensation as may be due as of the
date of such termination and shall likewise reimburse the Custodian for its
costs, expenses and disbursements.

16.  Successor Custodian

     If a successor Custodian for the Fund, of one or more of the Portfolios
shall be appointed by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, the Custodian shall,
upon termination, deliver to such successor

                                      23.
<PAGE>

Custodian at the office of the Custodian, duly endorsed and in the form for
transfer, all securities of each applicable Portfolio then held by it hereunder
and shall transfer to an account of the successor Custodian all of the
securities of each such Portfolio held in a Securities System.

     If no such successor Custodian shall be appointed, the Custodian shall, in
like manner, upon receipt of a certified copy of a vote of the Board of Trustees
of the Fund, deliver at the office of the Custodian and transfer such
securities, funds and other properties in accordance with such vote.

     In the event that no written order designating a successor Custodian or
certified copy of a vote of the Board of Trustees shall have been delivered to
the Custodian on or before the date when such termination shall become
effective, then the Custodian shall have the right to deliver to a bank or trust
company, which is a "bank" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
doing business in Boston, Massachusetts, of its own selection, having an
aggregate capital, surplus, and undivided profits, as shown by its last
published report, of not less than $25,000,000, all securities, funds and other
properties held by the Custodian on behalf of each applicable Portfolio and all
instruments held by the Custodian relative thereto and all other property held
by it under this Contract on behalf of each applicable Portfolio and to transfer
to an account of such successor Custodian all of the securities of each such
Portfolio held in any Securities System. Thereafter, such bank or trust company
shall be the successor of the Custodian under this Contract.

     In the event that securities, funds and other properties remain in the
possession of the Custodian after the date of termination hereof owing to
failure of the Fund to procure the certified copy of the vote referred to or of
the Board of Trustees to appoint a successor Custodian, the Custodian shall be
entitled to fair compensation for its services during such period as the
Custodian retains possession of such securities, funds and other properties and
the provisions of this Contract relating to the duties and obligations of the
Custodian shall remain in full force and effect.

17.  Interpretive and Additional Provisions

     In connection with the operation of this Contract, the Custodian and the
Fund on behalf of each of the Portfolios, may from time to time agree on such
provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Contract as
may in their joint opinion be consistent with the general tenor of this
Contract. Any such interpretive or additional provisions shall be in writing
signed by both parties and shall be annexed hereto, provided that no such
interpretive or additional provisions shall contravene any applicable federal or
state regulations or any provision of the Declaration of Trust of the Fund. No
interpretive or additional provisions made as provided in the preceding sentence
shall be deemed to be an amendment of this Contract.

18.  Additional Funds

     In the event that the Fund establishes one or more series of Shares in
addition to Munder Balanced Fund, Munder Bond Fund, Munder Cash Investment Fund,
Munder Growth & Income Fund, Munder Index 500 Fund, Munder Intermediate Bond
Fund, Munder International Equity Fund, Munder Michigan Tax-Free Bond Fund,

Market Fund, Munder U.S. Government Income Fund, and Munder U.S. Treasury Money
Market Fund with respect to which it desires to have the Custodian render
services as Custodian under the terms hereof, it shall so notify the Custodian

19.  Massachusetts Law to Apply

     This Contract shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted
under and in accordance with laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

20.  Prior Contracts

     This Contract supersedes and terminates, as of the date hereof, all prior
contracts between the Fund on behalf of each of the Portfolios and the Custodian
relating to the custody of the Fund's assets.

21.  Reproduction of Documents

     This Contract and all schedules, exhibits, attachments and amendments
hereto may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-
card, miniature photographic or other similar process. The parties hereto
all/each agree that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the
original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the
original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a
party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or
further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in
evidence.

22.  Shareholder Communications Election

     Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14b-2 requires banks which hold
securities for the account of customers to respond to requests by issuers of
securities for the names, addresses and holdings of beneficial owners of
securities of that issuer held by the bank unless the beneficial owner has
expressly objected to disclosure of this information. In order to comply with
the rule, the Custodian needs the Fund to indicate whether it authorizes the
Custodian to provide the Fund's name, address, and share position to requesting
companies whose securities the Fund owns. If the Fund tells the Custodian "no",
the Custodian will not provide this information to requesting companies. If the
Fund tells the Custodian "yes" or does not check either "yes" or "no" below, the
Custodian is required by the rule to treat the Fund as consenting to disclosure
of this information for all securities owned by the Fund or any funds or
accounts established by the Fund. For the Fund's protection, the Rule prohibits
the requesting company from using the Fund's name and address for any purpose
other than corporate communications. Please indicate below whether the Fund
consents or objects by checking one of the alternatives below.

     YES [_]   The Custodian is authorized to release the Fund's name, address,
               and share positions.

     NO  [_]   The Custodian is not authorized to release the Fund's name,
               address, and share positions.

                                      25.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this instrument to be
executed in its name and behalf by its duly authorized representative and its
seal to be hereunder affixed as of the 3rd day of August, 1999.

                            THE MUNDER FUNDS TRUST

                 Second Amended and Restated Multi-Class Plan
                 --------------------------------------------

                                 Introduction
                                 ------------

     The purpose of this plan is to specify the attributes of the five classes
of shares offered by The Munder Funds Trust (the "Trust"), including the sales
loads, expense allocations, conversion feature and exchange features of each
class, as required by Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act").

     Each of the Trust's investment portfolios (each, a "Fund") other than the
Cash Investment Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund and the U.S. Treasury Money
Market Fund (together, the "Money Market Funds") issues its shares of beneficial
interest in five classes: "Class A" shares, "Class B" shares, "Class C" shares,
"Class K" shares and "Class Y" shares. Each of the Money Market Funds issues its
shares of beneficial interest in three classes: "Class A" shares, "Class K"
shares and "Class Y" shares. Shares of each Class of a Fund shall represent an
equal pro rata interest in such Fund, and generally, shall have identical
voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, preferences, powers,
restrictions, limitations, qualifications, and terms and conditions, except
that: (a) each Class shall have a different designation; (b) each Class may have
a different sales charge structure; (c) each Class of shares shall bear any
Class Expenses, as defined below; (d) each Class shall have exclusive voting
rights on any matter submitted to shareholders that relates solely to its
arrangement and each Class shall have separate voting rights on any matter
submitted to shareholders in which the interests of one Class differ from the
interests of any other Class; and (e) each Class may have different exchange
and/or conversion features as described below.

                            Allocation of Expenses
                            ----------------------

     To the extent practicable, certain expenses (other than Class Expenses as
defined below which shall be allocated more specifically), shall be subtracted
from the gross income allocated to each Class of a Fund on the basis of net
assets of each Class of the Fund. These expenses include:

     (1) Expenses incurred by the Trust (for example, fees of Trustees, auditors
and legal counsel) not attributable to a particular Fund or to a particular
Class of shares of a Fund ("Trust Level Expenses"); and

     (2) Expenses incurred by a Fund not attributable to any particular Class of
the Fund's shares (for example, advisory fees, custodial fees, or other expenses
relating to the management of the Fund's assets) ("Fund Expenses").

     Expenses attributable to a particular Class ("Class Expenses") shall be
limited to: (i) payments made pursuant to a Service Plan, Service and
Distribution Plan or Shareholder Servicing Plan; (ii) transfer agent fees
attributable to a specific Class; (iii) printing and postage expenses relating
to preparing and distributing materials such as shareholder reports,
prospectuses and proxies to current shareholders of a specific Class; (iv) Blue
Sky fees incurred by a Class; (v) Securities and Exchange Commission
registration fees incurred by a Class; (vi) the expense of administrative
personnel and services to support the shareholders of a specific Class; (vii)
litigation or other legal expenses relating solely to one Class; and (viii)
Trustees' fees incurred as a result of issues relating solely to one Class.
Expenses in category (i) above must be allocated to the Class for which such
expenses are incurred. For all other "Class Expenses" listed in categories (ii)-
(viii) above, the President and Chief Financial Officer shall determine, subject
to Board approval or ratification, which of such categories of expenses
<PAGE>

will be treated as Class Expenses, consistent with applicable legal principles
under the Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     Therefore, expenses of a Fund shall be apportioned to each Class of shares
depending upon the nature of the expense item. Trust Level Expenses and Fund
Expenses will be allocated among the Classes of shares based on their relative
net asset values. Approved Class Expenses shall be allocated to the particular
Class to which they are attributable. In addition, certain expenses may be
allocated differently if their method of imposition changes. Thus, if a Class
Expense can no longer be attributed to a Class, it shall be charged to a Fund
for allocation among Classes, as may be appropriate; however, any additional
Class Expenses not specifically identified above which are subsequently
identified and determined to be properly allocated to one Class of shares shall
not be allocated until approved by the Board of Trustee of the Trust in light of
the requirements of the Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
any private letter rulings with respect to the Company issued by the Internal
Revenue Service.

                                Class A Shares
                                --------------

     Class A Shares of a Fund are offered at net asset value plus, for Funds
other than the Money Market Funds (the "Non-Money Market Funds"), an initial
sales charge as set forth in the then-current prospectus of the Fund. The
initial sales charge may be waived or reduced on certain types of purchases as
set forth in a Fund's then-current prospectus. A contingent deferred sales
charge may apply to certain redemptions made within a specified period as set
forth in the Fund's then-current prospectus. Class A Shares of a Non-Money
Market Fund may be exchanged for Class A Shares of another Fund of the Trust,
The Munder Framlington Funds Trust or The Munder Funds, Inc. subject to any
sales charge differential. Class A Shares of a Money Market Fund may be
exchanged for Class A, Class B or Class C Shares of another Fund of the Trust,
The Munder Framlington Funds Trust and The Munder Funds, Inc. subject to any
sales charge differential.

     Class A Shares of the Funds pay a Rule 12b-1 service fee of up to 0.25%
(annualized) of the average daily net assets of a Fund's Class A Shares.
Distribution and support services provided by brokers, dealers and other
institutions may include forwarding sales literature and advertising materials
provided by the Trust's distributor; processing purchase, exchange and
redemption requests from customers placing orders with the Trust' transfer
agent; processing dividend and distribution payments from the Fund of the Trust
on behalf of customers; providing information periodically to customers showing
their positions in Class A Shares; providing sub-accounting with respect to
Class A Shares beneficially owned by customers or the information necessary for
sub-accounting; responding to inquiries from customers concerning their
investment in Class A Shares; arranging for bank wires; and providing such other
similar services as may reasonably be requested.

                                Class B Shares
                                --------------

     Class B Shares of a Non-Money Market Fund are offered without an initial
sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon
certain redemptions as set forth in the Fund's then-current prospectus. Class B
Shares of a Non-Money Market Fund may be exchanged for Class B Shares of another
fund of the Trust, The Munder Framlington Funds Trust or The Munder Funds, Inc.
subject to any sales charge differential. Exchange-acquired Class A Shares of
the Money Market Funds will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
upon redemption in certain circumstances described in the Funds' Prospectuses.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     Class B Shares of a Non-Money Market Fund will automatically convert to
Class A Shares of the Fund on the first business day of the month in which the
sixth anniversary of the issuance of the Class B Shares occurs. The conversion
will be effected at the relative net asset values per share of the two classes.

     Class B Shares pay a Rule 12b-1 service fee up to 0.25% (annualized) and a
distribution fee of up to 0.75% (annualized) of the average daily net assets of
the relevant Fund's Class B Shares. Brokers, dealers and other institutions may
maintain Class B shareholder accounts and provide personal services to Class B
shareholders. Services relating to the sale of Class B shares may include, but
not be limited to, preparation, printing and distribution of prospectuses, sales
literature and advertising materials by the Trust's distributor, or, as
applicable, brokers, dealers or other institutions; commissions, incentive
compensation or other compensation to, and expenses of, account executives or
other employees of the Trust's distributor or brokers, dealers and other
institutions; overhead and other office expenses of the Trust's distributor
attributable to distribution or sales support activities; and opportunity costs
related to the foregoing (which may be calculated as a carrying charge on the
Trust's distributor unreimbursed expenses) incurred in connection with
distribution or sales support activities. The overhead and other office expenses
referenced above may include, without limitation, (a) the expenses of operating
the Trust's distributor's offices in connection with the sale of the Class B
Shares of the Non-Money Market Funds, including lease costs, the salaries and
employee benefit costs of administrative, operations and support personnel,
utility costs, communication costs and the costs of stationery and supplies, (b)
the costs of client sales seminars and travel related to distribution and sales
support activities, and (c) other expenses relating to distribution and sales
support activities.

                                Class C Shares
                                --------------

     Class C Shares of a Non-Money Market Fund are offered at net asset value. A
contingent deferred sales charge may apply to certain redemptions made within
the first year of investing as set forth in the relevant Fund's then-current
prospectus. Class C Shares of a Non-Money Market Fund may be exchanged for Class
C Shares of another fund of the Trust, The Munder Framlington Funds Trust or The
Munder Funds, Inc. subject to any sales charge differential.

     Class C Shares pay a Rule 12b-1 service fee up to 0.25% (annualized) and a
distribution fee of up to 0.75% (annualized) of the average daily net assets of
the relevant Fund's Class C Shares. Brokers, dealers and other institutions may
maintain Class C shareholder accounts and provide personal services to Class C
shareholders. Services relating to the sale of Class C shares may include, but
not be limited to, preparation, printing and distribution of prospectuses, sales
literature and advertising materials by the Trust's distributor, or, as
applicable, brokers, dealers or other institutions; commissions, incentive
compensation or other compensation to, and expenses of, account executives or
other employees of the Trust's distributor or brokers, dealers and other
institutions; overhead and other office expenses of the Trust's distributor
attributable to distribution or sales support activities; and opportunity costs
related to the foregoing (which may be calculated as a carrying charge on the
Trust's distributor unreimbursed expenses) incurred in connection with
distribution or sales support activities. The overhead and other office expenses
referenced above may include, without limitation, (a) the expenses of operating
the Trust's distributor's offices in connection with the sale of the Class C
Shares of the Non-Money Market Funds, including lease costs, the salaries and
employee benefit costs of administrative, operations and support personnel,
