Rule 497(e)
File Nos. 33-34841 and 811-6011
The Montgomery Funds
Supplement dated August 17, 1999 to
Prospectus dated July 15, 1999
For Shareholders in the Montgomery U.S. Emerging Growth Fund only:
The Montgomery U.S. Emerging Growth Fund (the "Fund") will close to new
shareholder accounts on September 1, 1999. Shareholders who own shares of the
Fund when it closes may continue to purchase shares in their existing accounts
after it closes. Employer-sponsored retirement plans and certain investment
advisors, if they already invested in the Fund on behalf of a client, may be
able to open additional accounts for plan participants or clients. The Manager
of the Fund may reopen and close the Fund to certain types of new shareholders
in the future.
If you do not own shares of the Montgomery U.S. Emerging Growth Fund when it
closes, you may not exchange shares from other Montgomery Funds for shares of
the Fund.
