SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS
DATED MARCH 30, 1999
Pacific Rim Small Company Portfolio and International Small Company Portfolio
Effective June 14, 1999, the Pacific Rim Small Company Portfolio will
resume offering its shares to new investors, and the International Small Company
Portfolio will resume purchasing shares of the Pacific Rim Master Fund.
Consequently, (i) the following paragraph on page 7 of the prospectus is
deleted:
"The Pacific Rim Small Company Portfolio is closed to new investments.
International Small Company Portfolio stopped buying the Master Fund
purchased by that Portfolio. These actions were taken because the
Malaysian government restricted the ability of foreign investors -
including the Master Fund in question - to withdraw their investments
from Malaysia."
(ii) the following two sentences replace the final sentence of the carryover
paragraph on page 33 of the prospectus:
"As of the date of this prospectus, the target allocations noted above
do not reflect current allocations. As of June 14, 1999, the
International Small Company Portfolio resumed investment in the Pacific
Rim Master Fund as a consequence of events in Malaysia that the Advisor
believes has demonstrated an improved investment climate and regulatory
environment."
(iii) the following sentence is inserted on page 33 of the prospectus at the end
of the third complete paragraph:
"As of June 14, 1999, the Pacific Rim Small Company Portfolio resumed
offering its shares to new investors as a consequence of events in
Malaysia that the Advisor believes has demonstrated an improved
investment climate and regulatory environment."

rate. It is anticipated that a levy will no longer be imposed after
September 1, 1999, at which time the Malaysian authorities will
implement a capital gains tax."
The third and fourth full paragraphs on pages 29-30 of the prospectus
are deleted, and replaced with the following:
"The Portfolios and the Master Funds are presently valuing the
Malaysian investments at the current market prices of the securities
and discounting the U.S. dollar-ringgit currency exchange rate. The
Portfolios and the Master Funds consider their Malaysian investments to
be liquid, as a result of transactions where the Portfolios and the
Master Funds have successfully sold certain Malaysian investments, and
also because of changes in the Malaysian regulatory environment. It is
impossible to predict future events in Malaysia and what, if any,
further actions the Malaysian government may take that may impact the
Malaysian investments of the Portfolios and the Master Funds. The
Advisor is closely monitoring developments in Malaysia, and will
continue to manage the Malaysian investments in the best interests of
investors.
As of June 7, 1999, Malaysian securities constituted approximately the
following percentages of the net asset value of the designated Master
Funds and Portfolios: Pacific Rim Series, 26.60%; International Small
Company Portfolio, 5.51%; Emerging Markets Value Portfolio, 10.14%;
Emerging Markets Small Cap Series, 9.23%; and Emerging Markets Series,
8.18%. Malaysian securities constituted less than three percent of the
net asset value of the other Portfolios and Master Series."
