                              PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     See the body of the Prospectus for more information on the topics discussed
in this summary.

THE FUND: This Prospectus describes Landmark International Equity Fund, a mutual
fund. The Fund seeks its investment objective by investing its investable assets
in the Portfolio,  which has the same  investment  objective and policies as the
Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES: Long-term capital growth; dividend income, if
any, is incidental to this investment objective. Through the Portfolio, the Fund
invests  primarily in common stocks of non-U.S.  issuers,  including  issuers in
developing  countries,  with an emphasis on established companies with medium to
large  capitalizations and seasoned management teams ("Established  Companies").
Because  the  Fund  invests  through  the  Portfolio,  all  references  in  this
Prospectus to the Fund include the Portfolio, except as otherwise noted.

INVESTMENT  ADVISER  AND  DISTRIBUTOR:   Citibank,   N.A.   ("Citibank"  or  the
"Adviser"),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Citicorp,  is the investment adviser.
Citibank and its  affiliates  manage more than $73 billion in assets  worldwide.
The Landmark Funds Broker-Dealer  Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") is the distributor of
shares of the Fund (the "Distributor"). See "Management."

PURCHASES  AND  REDEMPTIONS:  Customers  of  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents  may
purchase and redeem shares of the Fund on any Business Day. See  "Purchases" and
"Redemptions."

PRICING:  Investors may select Class A or Class B shares, with different expense
levels  and sales  charges  (if made  available  by the  investors'  Shareholder
Servicing  Agents).  See "Classes of Shares,"  "Purchases"  and  "Management  --
Distribution Arrangements."

CLASS A SHARES.  Offered at net asset value plus any  applicable  initial  sales
charge  (maximum  of  4.75% of the  public  offering  price)  and  subject  to a
distribution  fee at the annual  rate of 0.10% of the  average  daily net assets
represented  by the  Class A shares.  Purchases  of $1  million  or more are not
subject  to  aninitial  sales  charge,  but are  subject  to a 1.00%  contingent
deferred  sales  charge in the  event of  certain  redemptions  within 12 months
following purchase.

     The sales charge on Class A shares may be reduced or eliminated through the
following programs:

    Letter of Intent
    Right of Accumulation
    Reinstatement Privilege

See "Purchases" and "Redemptions."

CLASS B SHARES:  Offered at net asset value (a maximum contingent deferred sales
charge of 5.00% of the lesser of the shares' net asset  value at  redemption  or
their original purchase price is imposed on certain  redemptions made within six
years of the date of purchase) and subject to a  distribution  fee at the annual
rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets  represented by the Class B shares
and a service fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets  represented by Class
B shares. Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares (which have a
lower distribution fee) approximately eight years after purchase.

EXCHANGES: Shares may be exchanged for shares of the corresponding class of most
other Landmark Funds. See "Exchanges."

DIVIDENDS:  Dividends, if any, are declared and paid semi-annually.  Net capital
gains are distributed annually. See "Dividends and Distributions."

REINVESTMENT:  All  dividends and capital  gains  distributions  may be received
either in cash or in Fund shares of the same class at net asset  value,  subject
to the policies of a shareholder's  Shareholder  Servicing Agent. See "Dividends
and Distributions."

WHO SHOULD  INVEST:  The Fund has its own  suitability  considerations  and risk
factors,  as  summarized  below and  described  in more  detail  in  "Investment
Information"  and "Risk  Considerations."  The Fund is not intended to provide a
complete investment program.

     Investing primarily in common stocks of non-U.S. issuers, including issuers
in developing  countries,  the Fund is designed for investors  seeking long-term
capital  growth who are willing to commit a portion of their  assets to non-U.S.
investment and for whom current income is not a primary consideration.

RISK  FACTORS:  There  can be no  assurance  that  the  Fund  will  achieve  its
investment  objective,  and the Fund's net asset value will  fluctuate  based on
changes in the values of the underlying portfolio securities.  Equity securities
fluctuate  in value  based on many  factors,  including  actual and  anticipated
earnings,  changes in management,  political and economic  developments  and the
potential for takeovers and acquisitions. The value of debt securities generally
fluctuates  based on changes in the actual  and  perceived  creditworthiness  of
issuers.  Also, the value of debt  securities  generally goes down when interest
rates go up, and vice versa. As a result, an investor's shares may be worth more
or less at redemption than at the time of purchase.

     The Fund invests primarily in securities of non-U.S.  issuers.  The special
risks of investing in non-U.S.  securities  include possible adverse  political,
social and economic  developments  abroad,  differing  regulations to which non-
U.S. issuers are subject and different characteristics of non-U.S. economies and
markets. The Fund's non-U.S. securities often will trade in non-U.S. currencies,
which  can  be  volatile  and  may  be  subject  to  governmental   controls  or
intervention. In addition, securities of non-U.S. issuers may be less liquid and
their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S.  issuers.  The Fund may
invest in securities of issuers in developing countries,  and all of these risks
are increased for investments in such issuers.

     Certain investment practices,  such as the use of forward non-U.S. currency
exchange contracts,  also may entail special risks.  Investors should read "Risk
Considerations" for more information about risk factors.

EXPENSE SUMMARY

The following  table  summarizes  estimated  shareholder  transaction and annual
operating expenses for Class A and B shares of the Fund. The Fund invests all of
its investable  assets in the  Portfolio.  The Trustees of the Fund believe that
the aggregate per share expenses of the Fund and the Portfolio will be less than
or  approximately  equal to the expenses that the Fund would incur if the assets
of the Fund  were  invested  directly  in the  types of  securities  held by the
Portfolio.  For more information on costs and expenses,  see "Management" - page
17 and "General Information - Expenses" - page 22.*


                                                            Class A    Class B
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES:
Maximum Sales Load Imposed on Purchases (as a
  percentage of offering price) ........................     4.75%       None
Maximum Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (as a
 percentage of original
 purchase price or redemption                                 See
 proceeds, whichever is less) ..........................     Below(1)    5.00%
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES AFTER FEE WAIVERS
(AS A PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS):
Investment Management Fee(2) ...........................     1.00%       1.00%
12b-1 Fees (including service fees for
   Class B shares)(2)(3) ...............................     0.10%       0.85%
Other Expenses
 Administrative Services Fees(2) .......................     0.20%       0.20%
 Shareholder Servicing Agent Fees(2) ...................     0.25%       0.25%
 Other Operating Expenses(2)(4) ........................     0.20%       0.20%
Total Fund Operating Expenses(5) .......................     1.75%       2.50%

(1)  Purchases of $1 million or more are not subject to an initial sales charge;
however,  a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge of 1.00% will be imposed in the
event of certain redemptions within 12 months following  purchase.  See "Classes
of Shares" and "Purchases."
(2)  After fee waivers.
(3)  12b-1   distribution   fees  are  asset-based   sales  charges.   Long-term
shareholders  in the Fund  could  pay more in sales  charges  than the  economic
equivalent  of the maximum  front-end  sales  charges  permitted by the National
Association of Securities  Dealers,  Inc. The figure for Class B shares includes
service fees, which are payable at the annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily
net assets represented by Class B shares.

(4) LFBDS has agreed to pay the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, subject
to  certain  exceptions.  LFBDS  receives  a fee from  the  Fund.  See  "General
Information - Expenses."

(5) Absent fee waivers,  "Total Fund Operating  Expenses"  would have been 2.50%
for Class A shares and 3.25% for Class B shares.

* This table is intended to assist investors in understanding  the various costs
and  expenses  that a  shareholder  of the Fund will bear,  either  directly  or
indirectly.  Because  Class B shares  were not  offered  during the Fund's  most
recent fiscal year, Other Operating  Expenses in the table with respect to Class
B shares are based on estimated  amounts for the current fiscal year.  There can
be no assurance  that the fee waivers  reflected  in the table will  continue at
their present levels.

More  complete  descriptions  of the  following  expenses  of the  Fund  and the
Portfolio are set forth on the following pages: (i) investment  management fee -
page 17, (ii)  distribution  and service  fees - page 19,  (iii)  administrative
services fees - page 18, and (iv) shareholder servicing agent fees - page 19.

EXAMPLE:  A shareholder would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment,
assuming,  except  as  otherwise  noted,  redemption  at the end of each  period
indicated below.

                                      ONE YEAR THREE YEARS FIVE YEARS  TEN YEARS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A shares(1) ..................   $ 64       $100       $138        $244
Class B shares:
 Assuming complete redemption at
  end of period(2)(3) ..............   $ 75       $108       $153        $265
 Assuming no redemption(3) .........   $ 25       $ 78       $133        $265


(1) Assumes deduction at the time of purchase of the maximum 4.75% sales load.

(2)  Assumes  deduction  at the time of  redemption  of the  maximum  applicable
contingent deferred sales charge.

(3)  Ten-year  figures  assume  conversion  of Class B shares  to Class A shares
approximately eight years after purchase.

The Example  assumes that all dividends  are  reinvested,  and reflects  certain
voluntary fee waivers.  If waivers were not in place, the amounts in the example
would be $66,  $106,  $148 and $264 for Class A shares and $78,  $117,  $168 and
$302  for  Class  B  shares  (assuming  complete  redemption  at the end of each
period).  For the Class A shares  expenses  are based on the Fund's  fiscal year
ended December 31, 1994. Expenses for Class B shares are estimated because Class
B shares were not offered  during the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1994.  The
assumption  of a 5% annual  return is required by the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  for  all  mutual  funds,  and is  not a  prediction  of  the  Fund's
performance.  THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A  REPRESENTATION  OF PAST OR
FUTURE  EXPENSES OF THE FUND.  ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE
SHOWN.

                             INVESTMENT INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:  The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital
growth. Dividend income, if any, is incidental to this investment objective.

    The investment  objective of the Fund may be changed by its Trustees without
approval by the Fund's  shareholders,  but  shareholders  will be given  written
notice at least 30 days before any change is implemented.  Of course,  there can
be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.


INVESTMENT POLICIES:  The Fund seeks its objective by investing mainly in common
stocks of  companies  organized  in  countries  other  than the  United  States,
including developing countries. Under normal circumstances,  at least 65% of the
Fund's  total assets is invested in equity  securities,  and at least 65% of the
Fund's total assets is invested in securities  of issuers  organized in at least
three  countries  other  than the  U.S.  For  purposes  of this  policy,  equity
securities  are  defined as common  stock,  securities  convertible  into common
stock,  and trust or  limited  partnership  interests,  and  include  securities
purchased  directly or in the form of  sponsored  American  Depositary  Receipts
("ADRs"),  European  Depositary  Receipts  ("EDRs") or other similar  securities
representing common stock of non-U.S issuers. The Adviser seeks opportunities to
invest in non-U.S. economies which are growing faster than that of the U.S.

    In  selecting  common  stocks the Adviser  emphasizes  securities  issued by
established  companies with medium to large market  capitalizations,  i.e., $750
million or more, and seasoned management teams  ("Established  Companies") which
the Adviser believes possess above average prospects for growth. The Adviser may
also select other  securities of non-U.S.  issuers which it believes  provide an
opportunity for appreciation,  such as fixed income securities,  convertible and
non-convertible  bonds,  preferred stock and warrants. The Fund's assets usually
consist  of  issues   listed  on   securities   exchanges,   and  its  long-term
non-convertible  debt  investments  carry at  least a Baa  rating  from  Moody's
Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's")  or a BBB rating  from  Standard & Poor's
Ratings  Group  ("S&P") or are  determined  by the  Adviser to be of  equivalent
quality.

    TEMPORARY  INVESTMENTS.   During  periods  of  unusual  economic  or  market
conditions or for temporary defensive purposes or liquidity, the Fund may invest
without limit in cash and in U.S.  dollar-denominated  high quality money market
and short-term  instruments.  These investments may result in a lower yield than
would be available from investments with a lower quality or longer term.


    OTHER  PERMITTED  INVESTMENTS.  For more  information  regarding  the Fund's
permitted  investments and investment  practices,  see the Appendix -- Permitted
Investments  and  Investment  Practices on p. 22. The Fund will not  necessarily
invest or engage in each of the  investments  and  investment  practices  in the
Appendix but reserves the right to do so.


    INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  The Statement of Additional Information contains a
list of specific investment restrictions which govern the investment policies of
the Fund,  including  a  limitation  that the Fund may  borrow  from banks in an
amount not to exceed 33 1/3% of its net assets for  extraordinary  or  emergency
purposes  (e.g.,  to  meet  redemption  requests).  Certain  of  these  specific
restrictions  may  not  be  changed  without  shareholder  approval.  Except  as
otherwise indicated, the Fund's investment objective and policies may be changed
without shareholder  approval. If a percentage or rating restriction (other than
a restriction  as to borrowing) is adhered to at the time an investment is made,
a later  change in  percentage  or rating  resulting  from changes in the Fund's
securities will not be a violation of policy.


    PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. Securities of the Fund will be sold whenever the Adviser
believes it is appropriate to do so in light of the Fund's investment objective,
without  regard to the length of time a particular  security may have been held.
The turnover rate for the Fund is not expected to exceed 100% annually;  for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 this rate was 36%; for the period January 1,
1994 to April 30, 1994 the turnover  rate for the Fund was 5% and for the period
May 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994 the turnover  rate for the  Portfolio  was 25%.
The amount of brokerage  commissions  and  realization of taxable  capital gains
will tend to increase as the level of portfolio activity increases.


    BROKERAGE  TRANSACTIONS.  The  primary  consideration  in placing the Fund's
security  transactions  with  broker-dealers  for  execution  is to  obtain  and
maintain the  availability of execution at the most favorable  prices and in the
most effective manner possible.

                              RISK CONSIDERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The risks of investing in the Fund vary depending upon the nature of the
securities held, and the investment practices employed, on its behalf. Certain
of these risks are described below.

    CHANGES IN NET ASSET VALUE.  The Fund's net asset value will fluctuate based
on changes in the values of the underlying portfolio securities. This means that
an investor's shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at the time of
purchase. Equity securities fluctuate in response to general market and economic
conditions and other factors, including actual and anticipated earnings, changes
in  management,  political  developments  and the  potential  for  takeovers and
acquisitions.  During  periods  of  rising  interest  rates  the  value  of debt
securities generally declines,  and during periods of falling rates the value of
these securities generally  increases.  Changes by recognized rating agencies in
the rating of any debt security,  and actual or perceived changes in an issuer's
ability to make principal or interest  payments,  also affect the value of these
investments.

    CREDIT RISK OF DEBT  SECURITIES.  Investors  should be aware that securities
offering  above  average  yields  may at  times  involve  above  average  risks.
Securities rated Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P and equivalent  unrated securities
may have speculative characteristics. Adverse economic or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened  capacity to make  principal  and interest
payments than is the case for higher grade obligations.

    NON-U.S.  SECURITIES.  Investments  in  non-U.S.  securities  involve  risks
relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks
resulting  from the  differences  between  the  regulations  to which  U.S.  and
non-U.S. issuers and markets are subject. These risks may include expropriation,
confiscatory taxation,  withholding taxes on dividends and interest, limitations
on the use or transfer of portfolio assets and political or social  instability.
Enforcing legal rights may be difficult,  costly and slow in non-U.S. countries,
and there may be special problems enforcing claims against non-U.S. governments.
In addition,  non-U.S.  companies may not be subject to accounting  standards or
governmental  supervision  comparable to U.S.  companies,  and there may be less
public information about their operations.  Non-U.S.  markets may be less liquid
and more volatile than U.S. markets,  and may offer less protection to investors
such as the Fund.

    Because  non-U.S.  securities often are denominated in currencies other than
the U.S. dollar,  changes in currency  exchange rates will affect the Fund's net
asset  value,  the value of dividends  and interest  earned and gains and losses
realized on the sale of securities.  In addition, some non-U.S.  currency values
may be  volatile  and  there is the  possibility  of  governmental  controls  on
currency exchanges or governmental intervention in currency markets.

    The Fund may invest its assets in issuers  located in developing  countries,
which  are  generally  defined  as  countries  in the  initial  stages  of their
industrialization  cycles  with  low per  capita  income.  All of the  risks  of
investing  in non-U.S.  securities  are  heightened  by  investing in issuers in
developing countries.  Shareholders should be aware that investing in the equity
and fixed income markets of developing  countries  involves exposure to economic
structures that are generally less diverse and mature,  and to political systems
which can be expected to have less stability, than those of developed countries.
Historical  experience  indicates that the markets of developing  countries have
been more  volatile  than the markets of  developed  countries  with more mature
economies;  such markets often have provided  higher rates of return and greater
risks.  These  heightened  risks  include  (i) greater  risks of  expropriation,
confiscatory  taxation  and  nationalization,  and less  social,  political  and
economic  stability;  (ii) the small  current size of markets for  securities of
issuers  based in developing  countries  and the  currently low or  non-existent
volume of trading,  resulting  in a lack of liquidity  and in price  volatility;
(iii)  certain  national  policies  which may  restrict  the  Fund's  investment
opportunities  including  restrictions  on  investing  in issuers or  industries
deemed  sensitive  to  relevant  national  interests;  and (iv) the  absence  of
developed legal structures.

    The  costs  attributable  to  non-U.S.  investing,  such  as  the  costs  of
maintaining custody of securities in non-U.S.  countries,  frequently are higher
than those  attributable to U.S.  investing.  As a result, the operating expense
ratio of the Fund is expected to be higher  than that of an  investment  company
investing exclusively in U.S. securities.

    INVESTMENT  PRACTICES.  Certain of the investment practices employed for the
Fund may entail certain  risks.  See the Appendix -- Permitted  Investments  and
Investment Practices on page 22.

SPECIAL INFORMATION  CONCERNING INVESTMENT STRUCTURE:  Unlike other mutual funds
which directly acquire and manage their own portfolio securities, the Fund seeks
its  investment  objective  by  investing  all of its  investable  assets in the
Portfolio,   a  registered  investment  company.  The  Portfolio  has  the  same
investment  objective  and  policies  as the  Fund.  In  addition  to  selling a
beneficial interest to the Fund, the Portfolio may sell beneficial  interests to
other mutual funds, collective investment vehicles, or institutional  investors.
Such investors will invest in the Portfolio on the same terms and conditions and
will pay a proportionate share of the Portfolio's  expenses.  However, the other
investors  investing in the  Portfolio  are not required to sell their shares at
the  same  public  offering  price  as the  Fund  due  to  variations  in  sales
commissions  and other  operating  expenses.  Therefore,  investors  in the Fund
should be aware that these  differences  may  result in  differences  in returns
experienced  by investors in the different  funds that invest in the  Portfolio.
Such  differences  in returns are also present in other mutual fund  structures.
Information  concerning other holders of interests in the Portfolio is available
from the Fund's distributor, LFBDS at the address and telephone number indicated
on the back cover of this Prospectus.

    The investment  objective of the Fund may be changed by its Trustees without
the approval of the Fund's  shareholders but shareholders  will be given written
notice at least 30 days before any change is  implemented.  If there is a change
in the Fund's  investment  objective,  shareholders  should consider whether the
Fund remains an appropriate  investment in light of their then current financial
positions and needs.  The  investment  objective of the Portfolio may be changed
without the approval of the investors in the Portfolio,  but not without written
notice  thereof to the  investors  in the  Portfolio  (and,  if the Fund is then
invested in the Portfolio,  notice to Fund  shareholders) at least 30 days prior
to  implementing  the change.  There can, of course,  be no  assurance  that the
investment  objective of either the Fund or the Portfolio will be achieved.  See
"Investment Objective,  Policies and Restrictions -- Investment Restrictions" in
the Statement of Additional  Information  for a description  of the  fundamental
policies of the Fund and the Portfolio that cannot be changed  without  approval
by the holders of a "majority of the outstanding  voting securities" (as defined
in the  Investment  Company  Act of  1940  (the  "1940  Act"))  of the  Fund  or
Portfolio.  Except as stated otherwise, all investment guidelines,  policies and
restrictions described herein and in the Statement of Additional Information are
non- fundamental.

    Certain  changes  in  the  Portfolio's  investment  objective,  policies  or
restrictions or a failure by the Fund's  shareholders to approve a change in the
Portfolio's  investment  objective or  restrictions,  may preclude the Fund from
investing its investable assets in the Portfolio or require the Fund to withdraw
its interest in the Portfolio.  Any such withdrawal could result in an "in kind"
distribution  of  securities  (as  opposed  to a  cash  distribution)  from  the
Portfolio  which  may or may  not  be  readily  marketable.  If  securities  are
distributed,  the Fund could incur brokerage, tax or other charges in converting
the securities to cash. The in kind distribution may result in the Fund having a
less  diversified  portfolio of investments or adversely affect the liquidity of
the  Fund.  Notwithstanding  the  above,  there  are  other  means  for  meeting
shareholder redemption requests,  such as borrowing.  The absence of substantial
experience  with this  investment  structure  could have an adverse effect on an
investment in the Fund.

    Smaller funds  investing in the Portfolio may be materially  affected by the
actions of larger funds investing in the Portfolio. For example, if a large fund
withdraws from the Portfolio,  the remaining funds may  subsequently  experience
higher  pro  rata  operating   expenses,   thereby   producing   lower  returns.
Additionally,  because the Portfolio  would become  smaller,  it may become less
diversified, resulting in increased portfolio risk; however, these possibilities
exist for  traditionally  structured  funds  which have  large or  institutional
investors  who may  withdraw  from a fund.  Also,  funds with a greater pro rata
ownership in the Portfolio could have effective voting control of the operations
of the Portfolio.  If the Fund is requested to vote on matters pertaining to the
Portfolio  (other  than a vote by the  Fund to  continue  the  operation  of the
Portfolio upon the withdrawal of another  investor in the  Portfolio),  the Fund
will  hold  a  meeting  of its  shareholders  and  will  cast  all of its  votes
proportionately  as  instructed  by its  shareholders  who vote at the  meeting.
Shareholders  of the Fund who do not vote will have no effect on the  outcome of
such matters.

    The Fund may withdraw its investment  from the Portfolio at any time, if the
Fund's Board of Trustees  determines that it is in the best interest of the Fund
to do so. Upon any such  withdrawal,  the Board of Trustees  would consider what
action might be taken,  including the investment of all of the investable assets
of the Fund in another  pooled  investment  entity  having  the same  investment
objective as the Fund or the  retaining of an  investment  adviser to manage the
Fund's assets in accordance with the investment policies described above. In the
event the Fund's Trustees were unable to find a substitute investment company in
which to invest the Fund's assets or were unable to secure directly the services
of an  investment  adviser,  the  Trustees  would  determine  the best course of
action.

    For a description of the management of the Portfolio,  see  "Management"  --
page 17. For descriptions of the expenses of the Portfolio, see "Management" and
"General  Information  --  Expenses"  --  page  22.  For a  description  of  the
investment   objective,   policies  and  restrictions  of  the  Portfolio,   see
"Investment Information" -- page 7.

                              VALUATION OF SHARES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Net asset value per share of each class of shares of the Fund is  determined
each day the New York Stock  Exchange  is open for trading (a  "Business  Day").
This  determination  is made once each day as of the close of regular trading on
the Exchange  (currently  4:00 p.m.  Eastern time) by adding the market value of
all securities and other assets  attributable  to a class of the Fund (including
its interest in the Portfolio),  then subtracting the liabilities charged to the
class,  and then dividing the result by the number of outstanding  shares of the
class.  Per share net asset value of each class of the Fund's  shares may differ
because Class B shares bear higher  expenses than Class A shares.  The net asset
value per share of each class of shares is  effective  for orders  received  and
accepted by the Distributor prior to its calculation.

    Portfolio  securities and other assets are valued  primarily on the basis of
market quotations,  or if quotations are not available,  by a method believed to
accurately  reflect  fair  value.  Non-U.S.   securities  are  valued  based  on
quotations  from the primary  market in which they are traded and are translated
from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. In light
of the  non-U.S.  nature of the Fund's  investments,  trading  may take place in
securities  held by the Fund on days that are not Business  Days and on which it
will not be possible to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.

                               CLASSES OF SHARES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    DIFFERENCES  AMONG THE CLASSES:  Class A and B shares of the Fund  represent
interests in the same mutual fund. The primary  distinctions between the classes
of the Fund's  shares are their  initial and  contingent  deferred  sales charge
structures and their ongoing  expenses,  including  service fees and asset-based
sales charges in the form of distribution fees. These differences are summarized
in the following table. Each class has distinct advantages and disadvantages for
different  investors,  and  investors may choose the class that best suits their
circumstances and objectives.

               or original purchase price;
               declines to zero after six
               years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN  CHOOSING A CLASS OF SHARES:  In deciding  which class of
shares to purchase, investors should consider the cost of sales charges together
with the cost of the ongoing annual  expenses  described  below,  as well as any
other relevant facts and circumstances.

    SALES  CHARGES.  Class A shares are sold at net asset  value plus an initial
sales  charge  of up to 4.75% of the  public  offering  price  (except  that for
purchases  of $1  million  or more,  no initial  sales  charge is imposed  and a
contingent  deferred  sales  charge  may be  imposed  instead).  Because of this
initial  sales  charge,  not all of a Class A  shareholder's  purchase  price is
invested in the Fund. Class B shares are sold with no initial sales charge,  but
a contingent deferred sales charge (up to 5.00% of the lesser of the shares' net
asset value at redemption or the original purchase price) applies to redemptions
made  within  six  years of  purchase.  Thus,  the  entire  amount  of a Class B
shareholder's purchase price is immediately invested in the Fund.

    WAIVERS AND REDUCTIONS OF SALES CHARGES. Class A share purchases of at least
$25,000 and Class A share  purchases  made under the Fund's reduced sales charge
plan may be made at a reduced sales charge.  In considering the combined cost of
sales charges and ongoing annual  expenses,  investors  should take into account
any reduced sales charges on Class A shares for which they may be eligible.

    The entire  initial  sales  charge on Class A shares is waived  for  certain
eligible  purchasers.  However,  a 1.00%  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is
imposed  on  certain  redemptions  of Class A shares on which no  initial  sales
charge was assessed.  Because Class A shares bear lower ongoing annual  expenses
than Class B shares, in most cases investors  eligible for reduced initial sales
charges should purchase Class A shares.

    The contingent deferred sales charge may be waived upon redemption of
certain Class B shares. See "Purchases."

    ONGOING ANNUAL EXPENSES. Class A shares pay an annual 12b-1 distribution fee
of 0.10% of  average  daily  net  assets.  Class B shares  pay an  annual  12b-1
distribution  fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets and an annual service fee
of 0.10% of average daily net assets represented by Class B shares. Annual 12b-1
distribution  fees are a form of asset-based  sales charge.  An investor  should
consider both ongoing annual  expenses and initial or contingent  deferred sales
charges in estimating  the costs of investing in the  different  classes of Fund
shares over various time periods.

    CONVERSION  OF  CLASS  B  SHARES:  A  shareholder's   Class  B  shares  will
automatically  convert to Class A shares in the Fund  approximately  eight years
after the date of  issuance,  together  with a pro rata  portion  of all Class B
shares representing dividends and other distributions paid in additional Class B
shares.  The  conversion  will be effected at the  relative net asset values per
share of the two  classes  on the first  Business  Day of the month in which the
eighth  anniversary  of  the  issuance  of  the  Class  B  shares  occurs.  If a
shareholder  effects one or more exchanges  among Class B shares of the Landmark
Funds  during the  eight-year  period,  the  holding  periods  for the shares so
exchanged will be counted toward the  eight-year  period.  Because the per share
net  asset  value of the Class A shares  may be higher  than that of the Class B
shares at the time of conversion, a shareholder may receive fewer Class A shares
than the number of Class B shares  converted,  although the dollar value will be
the same. See "Valuation of Shares." The conversion of Class B shares to Class A
shares is subject to the continuing  availability  of a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel that the conversion will not constitute
a taxable event for federal tax purposes.  There can be no assurance that such a
ruling or opinion will be  available,  and the  conversion  of Class B shares to
Class A shares  will not occur if such  ruling or opinion is not  available.  In
that event,  Class B shares would continue to be subject to higher expenses than
Class A shares for an indefinite period.

    OTHER  INFORMATION:   See  "Purchases,"  "Redemptions"  and  "Management  --
Distribution  Arrangements"  for a more complete  description of the initial and
contingent deferred sales charges and distribution fees for each class of shares
of the Fund.  By  purchasing  shares an  investor  agrees to the  imposition  of
initial and deferred sales charges as described in this Prospectus.

                                   PURCHASES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund offers two classes of shares,  Class A and B shares, with different
expense levels and sales charges.  See "Classes of Shares" for more information.
WHEN PLACING PURCHASE ORDERS,  INVESTORS SHOULD SPECIFY WHETHER THE ORDER IS FOR
CLASS A OR CLASS B SHARES.  ALL SHARE  PURCHASE  ORDERS  THAT FAIL TO  SPECIFY A
CLASS AUTOMATICALLY WILL BE INVESTED IN CLASS A SHARES.

    Shares of the Fund are  offered  continuously  and may be  purchased  on any
Business Day at the public  offering  price either  through a securities  broker
which has a sales  agreement  with the  Distributor  or  through a bank or other
financial institution which has an agency agreement with the Distributor. Such a
bank or financial  institution  will receive  transaction fees that are equal to
the commissions paid to securities brokers. Shares of the Fund are being offered
exclusively  to customers of a Shareholder  Servicing  Agent (i.e.,  a financial
institution,  such as a federal or state-chartered bank, trust company,  savings
and loan association or savings bank, or a securities  broker,  that has entered
into a  shareholder  servicing  agreement  concerning  the Fund).  An investor's
Shareholder  Servicing Agent may not make available both classes of shares.  The
public offering price is the net asset value next  determined  after an order is
transmitted to and accepted by the Distributor, plus any applicable sales charge
for Class A shares.  Each  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent is required to promptly
forward orders for Fund shares to the Distributor.  The Fund and the Distributor
reserve the right to reject any  purchase  order and to suspend the  offering of
Fund shares for a period of time.

    Each  shareholder's  account is  established  and  maintained  by his or her
Shareholder  Servicing  Agent,  which will be the  shareholder  of record of the
Fund. Each Shareholder  Servicing Agent may establish its own terms,  conditions
and charges  with  respect to services it offers to its  customers.  Charges for
these services may include fixed annual fees and account  maintenance  fees. The
effect of any such fees will be to reduce  the net return on the  investment  of
customers of that Shareholder Servicing Agent.

    Shareholder  Servicing  Agents  will not  transmit  purchase  orders  to the
Distributor  until they have  received  the  purchase  price in federal or other
immediately  available funds. If Fund shares are purchased by check,  there will
be a delay  (usually  not longer than two  business  days) in  transmitting  the
purchase order until the check is converted into federal funds.

PURCHASING CLASS A SHARES:  INITIAL SALES CHARGE -- CLASS A SHARES. The Fund's
public offering price of Class A shares is the next determined net asset
value, plus any applicable sales charge, which will vary with the size of the
purchase as shown in the following table:

    SALES CHARGE  ELIMINATION -- CLASS A SHARES.  Class A shares of the Fund are
available  without a sales charge  through  exchanges for Class A shares of most
other Landmark Funds. See "Exchanges."  Also, the sales charge does not apply to
Class A shares acquired  through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions. Class A shares may be purchased without a sales charge by:

(i)    tax exempt  organizations  under  Section  501(c)(3-13)  of the  Internal
       Revenue Code (the "Code"),

(ii)   trust  accounts  for which  Citibank or any  subsidiary  or  affiliate of
       Citibank  (a  "Citibank   Affiliate")   acts  as  trustee  and  exercises
       discretionary investment management authority,

(iii)  accounts  purchasing  shares  through  the  Private  Client  Division  of
       Citicorp Investment Services,  or through other programs accessed through
       the  Private  Client  Division of Citicorp  Investment  Services,  or the
       private  banking  division  of either  Citibank,  N.A.,  Citibank  FSB or
       Citicorp Trust, N.A.,

(iv)   accounts for which Citibank or any Citibank Affiliate performs investment
       advisory services,

(v)    accounts for which  Citibank or any Citibank  Affiliate  charges fees for
       acting as custodian,

(vi)   trustees of any  investment  company for which  Citibank or any  Citibank
       Affiliate serves as the investment adviser or as a shareholder  servicing
       agent,

(vii)  any affiliated  person of the Fund,  the Adviser,  the  Distributor,  the
       Administrator or any Shareholder Servicing Agent,

(viii) shareholder accounts established through a reorganization or similar form
       of business  combination  approved by the Fund's  Board of Trustees or by
       the  Board of  Trustees  of any  other  Landmark  Fund the terms of which
       entitle those  shareholders  to purchase  shares of the Fund or any other
       Landmark Fund at net asset value without a sales charge,

(ix)   employee benefit plans qualified under Section 401 of the Code, including
       salary  reduction  plans  qualified  under  Section  401(k)  of the Code,
       subject  to  such  minimum  requirements  as  may be  established  by the
       Distributor  with  respect  to the  number  of  employees  or  amount  of
       purchase;  currently,  these  criteria  require  that  (a)  the  employer
       establishing  the qualified  plan have at least 50 eligible  employees or
       (b) the  amount  invested  by such  qualified  plan in the Fund or in any
       combination of Landmark Funds totals a minimum of $500,000,

(x)    investors  purchasing  $1 million or more of Class A shares.  However,  a
       contingent  deferred sales charge will be imposed on such  investments in
       the event of certain  share  redemptions  within 12 months  following the
       share  purchase,  at the rate of 1.00% of the  lesser of the value of the
       shares  redeemed  (exclusive  of  reinvested  dividends and capital gains
       distributions) or the total cost of such shares. In determining whether a
       contingent deferred sales charge on Class A shares is payable, and if so,
       the amount of the  charge,  it is assumed  that shares not subject to the
       contingent deferred sales charge are the first redeemed followed by other
       shares held for the longest period of time. All investments made during a
       calendar  month  will age one month on the last day of the month and each
       subsequent month. Any applicable contingent deferred sales charge will be
       deferred upon an exchange of Class A shares for Class A shares of another
       Landmark  Fund  and  deducted  from the  redemption  proceeds  when  such
       exchanged  shares are  subsequently  redeemed  (assuming  the  contingent
       deferred  sales charge is then  payable).  The holding  period of Class A
       shares so acquired through an exchange will be aggregated with the period
       during  which the  original  Class A shares  were  held.  The  contingent
       deferred  sales  charge on Class A shares  will be waived  under the same
       circumstances  as the contingent  deferred sales charge on Class B shares
       will be  waived.  See  "Sales  Charge  Waivers  -- Class B  Shares."  Any
       applicable  contingent  deferred  sales  charges  will  be  paid  to  the
       Distributor,

(xi)   subject to appropriate documentation, investors where the amount invested
       represents  redemption proceeds from a mutual fund (other than a Landmark
       Fund) if: (i) the redeemed shares were subject to an initial sales charge
       or a deferred sales charge  (whether or not actually  imposed);  and (ii)
       such  redemption  has occurred no more than 90 days prior to the purchase
       of Class A shares of the Fund, or

(xii)  an investor who has a business relationship with an investment consultant
       or other registered representative who joined a broker-dealer which has a
       sales agreement with the Distributor from another  investment firm within
       six months  prior to the date of  purchase by such  investor,  if (a) the
       investor   redeems  shares  of  another  mutual  fund  sold  through  the
       investment  firm that previously  employed that investment  consultant or
       other registered representative,  and either paid an initial sales charge
       or was at some time  subject  to,  but did not  actually  pay, a deferred
       sales charge or redemption fee with respect to the  redemption  proceeds,
       (b) the  redemption is made within 60 days prior to the investment in the
       Fund,  and (c) the net asset value of the shares of the Fund sold to that
       investor  without a sales  charge  does not exceed the  proceeds  of such
       redemption.

    REDUCED SALES CHARGE PLANS -- CLASS A SHARES.  An individual who is a member
of a  qualified  group may  purchase  Class A shares of the Fund at the  reduced
sales charge  applicable to the group as a whole. The sales charge is based upon
the  aggregate  dollar value of Class A shares  previously  purchased  and still
owned by the group, plus the amount of the purchase.  A "qualified group" is one
which (i) has been in  existence  for more than six  months,  (ii) has a purpose
other than  acquiring  Fund shares at a discount,  and (iii)  satisfies  uniform
criteria which enable the Distributor to realize economies of scale in its costs
of distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than ten members,  must
be available to arrange for group meetings between  representatives  of the Fund
and the members,  must agree to include sales and other materials related to the
Fund in its  publications  and  mailings to members at reduced or no cost to the
Distributor,  and must seek to  arrange  for  payroll  deduction  or other  bulk
transmission of investments to the Fund.

    Reduced initial sales charges on Class A shares also may be achieved through
a RIGHT OF  ACCUMULATION  or a LETTER OF INTENT.  Under a RIGHT OF  ACCUMULATION
eligible  investors are permitted to purchase  Class A shares of the Fund at the
public  offering  price  applicable  to the total of (a) the dollar  amount then
being purchased, plus (b) an amount equal to the then-current net asset value or
cost (whichever is higher) of the purchaser's  combined holdings in the Landmark
Funds. The Right of Accumulation may be amended or terminated at any time.

    If an investor  anticipates  purchasing $25,000 or more of Class A shares of
the Fund alone or in  combination  with Class B shares of the Fund or any of the
classes of other  Landmark  Funds  within a 13-month  period,  the  investor may
obtain such shares at the same reduced sales charge as though the total quantity
were  invested in one lump sum,  subject to the  appointment  of an attorney for
redemptions of shares if the intended purchases are not completed, by completing
a LETTER OF INTENT.  Investors should consult "Determination of Net Asset Value;
Valuation of Securities;  Additional Purchase and Redemption Information" in the
Statement of Additional  Information and their Shareholder  Servicing Agents for
more information about Rights of Accumulation and Letters of Intent.

PURCHASING CLASS B SHARES:  CONTINGENT  DEFERRED SALES CHARGE -- CLASS B SHARES.
The Fund's public  offering  price of Class B shares is the next  determined net
asset value, and no initial sales charge is imposed. A contingent deferred sales
charge, however, is imposed upon certain redemptions of Class B shares.

    Class B  shares  of the Fund  that are  redeemed  will not be  subject  to a
contingent  deferred  sales  charge to the extent  that the value of such shares
represents  (i)  capital  appreciation  of Fund  assets,  (ii)  reinvestment  of
dividends or capital gains  distributions or (iii) shares redeemed more than six
years after their  purchase.  Otherwise,  redemptions  of Class B shares will be
subject to a contingent  deferred  sales  charge.  The amount of any appli cable
contingent deferred sales charge will be calculated by multiplying the lesser of
net asset  value of such  shares  at the time of  redemption  or their  original
purchase price by the applicable percentage shown in the following table.

                                          CONTINGENT
                                           DEFERRED
  REDEMPTION DURING                      SALES CHARGE

- ----------------------------------------------------------
  lst Year Since Purchase ............      5.00%
  2nd Year Since Purchase ............      4.00%
  3rd Year Since Purchase ............      3.00%
  4th Year Since Purchase ............      3.00%
  5th Year Since Purchase ............      2.00%
  6th Year Since Purchase ............      1.00%
  7th Year (or Later) Since Purchase .       None
- ----------------------------------------------------------

    In determining the applicability  and rate of any contingent  deferred sales
charge,  it will be assumed  that a  redemption  is made first of Class B shares
representing capital appreciation,  next of shares representing the reinvestment
of dividends and capital gains distributions and finally of other shares held by
the  shareholder  for the longest  period of time. The holding period of Class B
shares of the Fund acquired  through an exchange with another Landmark Fund will
be calculated  from the date that the Class B shares were initially  acquired in
one of the other  Landmark  Funds,  and Class B shares  being  redeemed  will be
considered to represent,  as applicable,  capital  appreciation  or dividend and
capital gains  distribution  reinvestments in such other funds. This will result
in any  contingent  deferred  sales charge being imposed at the lowest  possible
rate.  For federal income tax purposes,  the amount of the  contingent  deferred
sales charge will reduce the gain or increase  the loss,  as the case may be, on
the amount realized on redemption. Any contingent deferred sales charges will be
paid to the Distributor.

    SALES CHARGE WAIVERS -- CLASS B SHARES. The contingent deferred sales charge
will be waived for exchanges.  In addition, the contingent deferred sales charge
will be waived for a total or  partial  redemption  made  within one year of the
death  of  the  shareholder.   This  waiver  is  available  where  the  deceased
shareholder  is either the sole  shareholder  or owns the shares with his or her
spouse  as a joint  tenant  with  right of  survivorship,  and  applies  only to
redemption of shares held at the time of death.  The  contingent  deferred sales
charge also will be waived in connection with:

(i)   a lump sum or other  distribution in the case of an Individual  Retirement
      Account  ("IRA"),  a self-employed  individual  retirement plan (so-called
      "Keogh Plan") or a custodian  account under Section 403(b) of the Code, in
      each case following attainment of age 59 1/2,
(ii)  a total or partial redemption resulting from any distribution following
      retirement in the case of a tax-qualified retirement plan, and
(iii) a redemption resulting from a tax-free return of an excess contribution
      to an IRA.

    Contingent  deferred  sales  charge  waivers  will  be  granted  subject  to
confirmation by a shareholder's Shareholder Servicing Agent of the shareholder's
status or holdings, as the case may be.

    Securities  dealers and other financial  institutions may receive  different
compensation  with  respect  to  sales  of  Class  A and  Class  B  shares.  The
Distributor,   at  its  expense,  may  from  time  to  time  provide  additional
promotional  incentives  to  brokers  who  sell  shares  of the  Fund.  In  some
instances,  these  incentives may be offered to certain brokers who have sold or
may sell significant numbers of shares of the Fund.

                                   EXCHANGES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Shares of the Fund may be  exchanged  for  shares of the same class of other
Landmark Funds that are made available by a shareholder's  Shareholder Servicing
Agent,  or may be  acquired  through an  exchange of shares of the same class of
those funds. No initial sales charge is imposed on shares being acquired through
an exchange unless Class A shares are being acquired and the sales charge of the
fund being  exchanged  into is greater than the current sales charge of the Fund
(in which case an initial  sales  charge  will be imposed at a rate equal to the
difference).  No  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is imposed on shares being
disposed of through an exchange;  however, contingent deferred sales charges may
apply to redemptions of Class B shares acquired through an exchange.

    Shareholders must place exchange orders through their Shareholder  Servicing
Agents, and may do so by telephone if their account  applications so permit. For
more information on telephone transactions see "Redemptions." All exchanges will
be effected  based on the relative  net asset  values per share next  determined
after the  exchange  order is received by the  Distributor.  See  "Valuation  of
Shares." Shares of the Fund may be exchanged only after payment in federal funds
for the shares has been made.

    This exchange  privilege may be modified or terminated at any time,  upon at
least 60 days'  notice  when  such  notice  is  required  by SEC  rules,  and is
available only in those  jurisdictions where such exchanges legally may be made.
See the Statement of Additional  Information for further details.  Before making
any exchange,  shareholders should contact their Shareholder Servicing Agents to
obtain more  information  and  prospectuses of the Landmark Funds to be acquired
through the exchange.

    An exchange is treated as a sale of the shares exchanged and could result in
taxable gain or loss to the shareholder making the exchange.

                                  REDEMPTIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fund shares may be redeemed at their net asset value next determined after a
redemption  request in proper form is received  by a  shareholder's  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent (subject to any applicable  contingent  deferred sales charge).
Shareholders may redeem shares of the Fund only by authorizing their Shareholder
Servicing  Agents to redeem such shares on their behalf through the Distributor.
If a redeeming  shareholder  owns shares of more than one class,  Class A shares
will be redeemed first unless the shareholder specifically requests otherwise.

    A redemption is treated as a sale of the shares redeemed and could result in
taxable gain or loss to the shareholder making the redemption.

    REDEMPTIONS BY MAIL.  Shareholders may redeem Fund shares by sending written
instructions  in  proper  form (as  determined  by a  shareholder's  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent)  to  their  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents.  Shareholders  are
responsible for ensuring that a request for redemption is in proper form.

    REDEMPTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Shareholders may redeem or exchange Fund shares by
telephone, if their account applications so permit, by calling their Shareholder
Servicing Agents. During periods of drastic economic or market changes or severe
weather  or  other   emergencies,   shareholders  may  experience   difficulties
implementing  a telephone  exchange  or  redemption.  In such an event,  another
method of instruction,  such as a written request sent via an overnight delivery
service,  should be considered.  The Fund and each  Shareholder  Servicing Agent
will employ reasonable  procedures to confirm that instructions  communicated by
telephone are genuine.  These procedures may include  recording of the telephone
instructions  and  verification of a caller's  identity by asking for his or her
name, address,  telephone number, Social Security number, and account number. If
these  or  other  reasonable  procedures  are  not  followed,  the  Fund  or the
Shareholder Servicing Agent may be liable for any losses to a shareholder due to
unauthorized or fraudulent  instructions.  Otherwise,  the shareholder will bear
all risk of loss relating to a redemption or exchange by telephone.

    PAYMENT OF  REDEMPTIONS.  The proceeds of a  redemption  are paid in federal
funds  normally on the next Business Day, but in any event within seven days. If
a shareholder  requests redemption of shares which were purchased recently,  the
Fund may delay payment until it is assured that good payment has been  received.
In  the  case  of  purchases  by  check,  this  can  take  up to ten  days.  See
"Determination of Net Asset Value; Valuation of Securities;  Additional Purchase
and Redemption Information" in the Statement of Additional Information regarding
the Fund's right to pay the redemption price in kind with securities (instead of
cash).

    REINSTATEMENT  PRIVILEGE.  Shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares may
reinstate  their Fund  account  without a sales  charge up to the dollar  amount
redeemed  (with a credit  for any  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  paid) by
purchasing  Class A shares of the Fund within 30 days after the  redemption.  To
take advantage of this reinstatement  privilege,  shareholders must notify their
Shareholder Servicing Agents in writing at the time the privilege is exercised.

    Questions  about   redemption   requirements   should  be  referred  to  the
shareholder's  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent.  The right of any  shareholder  to
receive  payment with respect to any  redemption may be suspended or the payment
of the redemption  price postponed during any period in which the New York Stock
Exchange is closed  (other than weekends or holidays) or trading on the Exchange
is restricted or if an emergency exists.

                          DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Substantially  all of the Fund's net income from dividends and interest,  if
any,  is paid to its  shareholders  of record as a dividend  SEMIANNUALLY  on or
about the last day of JUNE and DECEMBER.

    The Fund's net realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, will
be distributed to the Fund's  shareholders at least annually,  in December.  The
Fund may also make additional  distributions  to its  shareholders to the extent
necessary  to avoid  the  application  of the 4%  non-deductible  excise  tax on
certain undistributed income and net capital gains of mutual funds.

    Subject to the policies of the shareholder's  Shareholder Servicing Agent, a
shareholder may elect to receive  dividends and capital gains  distributions  in
either  cash or  additional  shares of the same class  issued at net asset value
without a sales charge.  Distributions  paid by the Fund with respect to Class A
shares  generally  will be higher than those paid with respect to Class B shares
because expenses attributable to Class B shares generally will be higher.

                                   MANAGEMENT
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


TRUSTEES AND  OFFICERS:  The Fund is  supervised  by its Board of Trustees.  The
Portfolio is also supervised by a Board of Trustees. In each case, a majority of
the Trustees are not affiliated with the Adviser. In addition, a majority of the
disinterested  Trustees  of  the  Fund  are  different  from a  majority  of the
disinterested  Trustees of the Portfolio.  More  information on the Trustees and
officers  of the  Fund  and the  Portfolio  appears  under  "Management"  in the
Statement of Additional Information.

INVESTMENT ADVISER:  CITIBANK.  The Fund draws on the strength and experience of
Citibank.  Citibank  offers a wide range of banking and  investment  services to
customers  across  the  United  States and  throughout  the world,  and has been
managing money since 1822. Its portfolio  managers are responsible for investing
in money market, equity and fixed income securities. Citibank and its affiliates
manage more than $73  billion in assets  worldwide.  Citibank is a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Citicorp.  Citibank also serves as investment  adviser to 13 other
Landmark Funds or portfolios.

    Citibank  manages  the Fund's  assets  pursuant  to an  investment  advisory
agreement  ("Advisory  Agreement").  Subject to  policies  set by the  Trustees,
Citibank makes investment decisions. Citibank's address is 153 East 53rd Street,
New York, New York 10043.

    Henry B. W. de Vismes has served as manager of the Fund since March 1991.
He also manages individual international portfolios and has responsibility for
international equity strategy, global asset allocation and global stock
selection for Citibank. Mr. de Vismes came to Citibank in 1991 after 19 years
at London-based merchant bank Kleinwort Benson Group, where he managed a U.S.-
based international equity fund.

    Management's  discussion of the Fund's performance is included in the Fund's
Annual Report to  Shareholders,  which  investors may obtain  without  charge by
contacting their Shareholder Servicing Agents.

    ADVISORY FEES. For its services  under the Advisory  Agreement,  the Adviser
receives an  investment  advisory fee of 1.00%,  which is accrued daily and paid
monthly,  of the Portfolio's average daily net assets on an annualized basis for
the Portfolio's then-current fiscal year. This investment advisory fee is higher
than the  investment  advisory  fees  currently  being  paid by most  investment
companies  in  general,  but it is similar to the fees paid by other  investment
companies that also invest primarily in non-U.S. securities.

    The  Trustees  have  determined  that the 1.00%  investment  advisory fee is
reasonable in light of the investment policy of investing primarily in non- U.S.
securities.

    For the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1994,  the  investment  advisory fee
paid to Citibank was $322,502  (1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets for
that fiscal year).

    BANKING  RELATIONSHIPS.  Citibank and its affiliates may have deposit,  loan
and other  relationships  with the issuers of securities  purchased on behalf of
the Fund,  including  outstanding  loans to such issuers  which may be repaid in
whole or in part with the  proceeds of  securities  so  purchased.  Citibank has
informed the Fund that, in making its investment  decisions,  it does not obtain
or use  material  inside  information  in the  possession  of  any  division  or
department of Citibank or in the possession of any affiliate of Citibank.

    BANK REGULATORY MATTERS.  The Glass-Steagall Act prohibits certain financial
institutions,  such  as  Citibank,  from  underwriting  securities  of  open-end
investment  companies,  such as the Fund.  Citibank  believes  that its services
under  the  Advisory  Agreement  and  the  activities  performed  by it  or  its
affiliates  as  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents  and  sub-administrator  are  not
underwriting and are consistent with the  Glass-Steagall  Act and other relevant
federal and state laws. However, there is no controlling precedent regarding the
performance of the combination of investment advisory, shareholder servicing and
sub-administrative activities by banks. State laws on this issue may differ from
applicable federal law, and banks and financial  institutions may be required to
register as dealers pursuant to state securities laws. Changes in either federal
or state statutes or  regulations,  or in their  interpretations,  could prevent
Citibank  or its  affiliates  from  continuing  to perform  these  services.  If
Citibank or its  affiliates  were to be  prevented  from acting as the  Adviser,
sub-administrator  or  a  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent,  the  Fund  would  seek
alternative  means for obtaining these  services.  The Fund does not expect that
shareholders would suffer any adverse financial  consequences as a result of any
such occurrence.

ADMINISTRATIVE  SERVICES PLANS:  The Fund and the Portfolio have  administrative
services plans ("Administrative Services Plans") which provide that the Fund and
the Portfolio may obtain the services of an  administrator,  a transfer agent, a
custodian,  and,  in the case of the  Fund,  one or more  Shareholder  Servicing
Agents, and may enter into agreements providing for the payment of fees for such
services.  Under the Fund's Administrative  Services Plan, the total of the fees
paid to the Fund's Administrator and Shareholder Servicing Agents may not exceed
0.65% of the  Fund's  average  daily net assets on an  annualized  basis for the
Fund's  then-current  fiscal  year.  Any  distribution  fees (other than any fee
concerning electronic or other media advertising) payable under the Distribution
Plan for Class A shares of the Fund are included in this  precentage  limitation
for those shares.  For the Class B shares of the Fund this  limitation  does not
include  any amounts  payable  under the  Distribution  Plan for Class B shares.
Within this overall limitation,  individual fees may vary. Under the Portfolio's
Administrative Services Plan, fees paid to the Portfolio's Administrator may not
exceed 0.05% of the Portfolio's  average daily net assets on an annualized basis
for the Portfolio's then-current fiscal year. See "Administrators," "Shareholder
Servicing Agents" and "Transfer Agent, Custodian and Fund Accountant."

ADMINISTRATORS:  LFBDS and Signature  Financial  Group  (Cayman),  Ltd.,  either
directly  or  through  a  wholly-owned   subsidiary  ("SFG"),   provide  certain
administrative  services  to the Fund  and the  Portfolio  under  administrative
services  agreements.  These  administrative  services include providing general
office  facilities,  supervising the overall  administration of the Fund and the
Portfolio, and providing persons satisfactory to the Boards of Trustees to serve
as Trustees and officers of the Fund and Portfolio.  These Trustees and officers
may be directors, officers or employees of LFBDS, SFG or their affiliates.

    For these services,  the Administrators  receive fees accrued daily and paid
monthly  of 0.15% of the  average  daily net assets of the Fund and 0.05% of the
average daily net assets of the Portfolio,  in each case on an annualized  basis
for the Fund's or the Portfolio's then-current fiscal year. However, each of the
Administrators  has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the fees payable to
it as necessary  to maintain the  projected  rate of total  operating  expenses.
LFBDS has agreed to pay certain  expenses of the Fund. See "General  Information
- -- Expenses."

    LFBDS and SFG are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Signature Financial Group,
Inc. "Landmark" is a service mark of LFBDS.

SUB-ADMINISTRATOR:  Pursuant to sub-administrative services agreements, Citibank
performs such sub-administrative  duties for the Fund and Portfolio as from time
to time are agreed upon by Citibank and LFBDS or SFG. Citibank's compensation as
sub-administrator is paid by LFBDS or SFG.

SHAREHOLDER  SERVICING  AGENTS:  The Fund has entered into separate  shareholder
servicing  agreements  with each  Shareholder  Servicing Agent pursuant to which
that  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent  provides  shareholder  services,  including
answering  customer  inquiries,  assisting in processing  purchase  exchange and
redemption transactions and furnishing Fund communications to shareholders.  For
these services, each Shareholder Servicing Agent receives a fee from the Fund at
an annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Fund  represented
by shares owned by investors for whom such Shareholder Servicing Agent maintains
a servicing relationship.  However, each Shareholder Servicing Agent voluntarily
has agreed to waive a portion of its fee.

    Some  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents may impose certain  conditions on their
customers in addition to or different  from those  imposed by the Fund,  such as
requiring a minimum initial  investment or charging their customers a direct fee
for their services.  Each Shareholder  Servicing Agent has agreed to transmit to
its  customers  who are  shareholders  of the  Fund  appropriate  prior  written
disclosure of any fees that it may charge them  directly and to provide  written
notice at least 30 days prior to imposition of any transaction fees.

TRANSFER  AGENT,  CUSTODIAN  AND FUND  ACCOUNTANT:  State  Street Bank and Trust
Company acts as transfer agent and dividend  disbursing  agent for the Fund. The
principal  business  address  of State  Street  Bank and  Trust  Company  is 225
Franklin Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts  02110.  Investors Bank & Trust Company
acts as the custodian of the Fund's and the Portfolio's  assets.  Securities may
be held by a sub-custodian  bank approved by the Trustees.  Signature  Financial
Services,  Inc.  provides fund accounting  services and calculates the daily net
asset value for the Fund.

DISTRIBUTION  ARRANGEMENTS:  LFBDS is the  distributor of shares of the Fund and
also  serves  as  distributor  for each of the  other  Landmark  Funds  and as a
Shareholder  Servicing Agent for certain investors.  LFBDS receives distribution
fees from the Fund pursuant to  Distribution  Plans  adopted in accordance  with
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. As  distributor,  LFBDS also  collects  the sales
charges  imposed on  purchases  of Class A shares and  collects  any  contingent
deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions of Class A and Class B shares.  In
those states where LFBDS is not a registered  broker-dealer,  shares of the Fund
are sold through Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc., as dealer.

    The Fund  maintains  separate  plans of  distribution  pertaining to Class A
shares and Class B shares (collectively "Plans"). The Class A Plan provides that
the Fund will pay the Distributor a monthly  distribution  fee at an annual rate
not to exceed  0.10% of the  average  daily net  assets  represented  by Class A
shares.  The  Class A Plan  also  permits  the  Fund to pay the  Distributor  an
additional fee (not to exceed 0.05% of the average daily net assets  represented
by  Class  A  shares)  in  anticipation  of or as  reimbursement  for  print  or
electronic media  advertising  expenses  incurred in connection with the sale of
Class A shares.  The Fund did not pay anything under this provision  during 1994
and does not anticipate doing so during the current fiscal year.

    The Class B Plan  provides  that the Fund may pay the  Distributor a monthly
distribution  fee and a  monthly  service  fee at annual  rates  not to  exceed,
respectively,  0.75% and 0.25% of the average  daily net assets  represented  by
Class B shares. Currently, the service fee for Class B shares is 0.10% per annum
of the average daily net assets represented by Class B shares.

    The  Distributor  uses the  distribution  fees under the Plans to offset the
Fund's marketing costs attributable to the classes, such as preparation of sales
literature,  advertising,  and printing and distributing  prospectuses and other
shareholder materials to prospective investors. In addition, the Distributor may
use the  distribution  fees to pay costs  related  to  distribution  activities,
including   employee  salaries,   bonuses  and  other  overhead  expenses.   The
Distributor also uses the distribution fees under the Class B Plan to offset the
commissions  it pays to brokers  and other  institutions  for selling the Fund's
Class B shares. The Fund and the Distributor provide to the Trustees quarterly a
written  report of amounts  expended  pursuant to the Plans and the purposes for
which the expenditures were made.

    During the period  they are in effect,  the Plans and  related  distribution
agreements  pertaining  to each  class  of  shares  ("Distribution  Agreements")
obligate  the Fund to pay  distribution  fees to LFBDS as  compensation  for its
distribution  activities,  not as reimbursement for specific expenses  incurred.
Thus, even if LFBDS's  expenses exceed its  distribution  fees for the Fund, the
Fund will not be obligated to pay more than those fees and, if LFBDS's  expenses
are less than such fees, it will retain its full fees and realize a profit.  The
Fund will pay the distribution fees to LFBDS until either the applicable Plan or
Distribution  Agreement is  terminated  or not renewed.  In that event,  LFBDS's
expenses  in excess  of  distribution  fees  received  or  accrued  through  the
termination date will be LFBDS's sole  responsibility and not obligations of the
Fund. In their annual consideration of the continuation of the Fund's Plans, the
Trustees will review each Plan and LFBDS's expenses for each class separately.

    Each class of shares of the Fund has exclusive voting rights with respect to
the Plan for that class.

    From  time  to  time  LFBDS  may  make  payments  for  distribution   and/or
shareholder  servicing  activities  out of its past profits or any other sources
available to it.

                                  TAX MATTERS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This discussion of taxes is for general  information only.  Investors should
consult their own tax advisers about their particular situations.

    The Fund  intends to meet the  requirements  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code
applicable to regulated  investment  companies so that it will not be liable for
any federal income or excise taxes.

    Fund dividends and capital gains distributions are subject to federal income
tax  and  may  also  be  subject  to  state  and  local  taxes.   Dividends  and
distributions  are treated in the same manner for federal tax  purposes  whether
they are paid in cash or as additional shares. Generally, distributions from the
Fund's net  investment  income  and  short-term  capital  gains will be taxed as
ordinary income. A portion of  distributions  from net investment  income may be
eligible  for  the  dividends-received   deduction  available  to  corporations.
Distributions of net long-term capital gains will be taxed as such regardless of
how long the shares of the Fund have been held.

    Fund  distributions  will  reduce  the  Fund's  net asset  value per  share.
Shareholders  who buy shares just before the Fund makes a distribution  may thus
pay the full price for the shares and then effectively  receive a portion of the
purchase price back as a taxable distribution.

    The Fund may pay withholding or other taxes to non-U.S.  governments  during
the year.  These  taxes  will  reduce the Fund's  dividends;  however,  the Fund
expects that shareholders normally may be able to claim an offsetting tax credit
or itemized deduction for non-U.S. taxes paid by the Fund.

    Early each year, the Fund will notify its shareholders of the amount and tax
status of distributions paid to shareholders for the preceding year.

    Investors  should  consult  their own tax advisers  regarding  the status of
their accounts under state and local laws.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fund performance may be quoted in advertising, shareholder reports and other
communications in terms of yield,  effective yield or total rate of return.  All
performance  information  is historical  and is not intended to indicate  future
performance.  Yields and total rates of return  fluctuate  in response to market
conditions and other  factors,  and the value of the Fund's shares when redeemed
may be more or less than their original cost.

    The Fund may  provide  its period and  average  annualized  "total  rates of
return."  The  "total  rate of  return"  refers to the change in the value of an
investment in the Fund over a stated period which was made at the maximum public
offering  price and  reflects  any  change  in net asset  value per share and is
compounded  to include the value of any shares  purchased  with any dividends or
capital gains declared  during such period.  Period total rates of return may be
"annualized." An "annualized" total rate of return assumes that the period total
rate of return is generated over a one-year  period.  These total rate of return
quotations may be  accompanied by quotations  which do not reflect the reduction
in value of the  investment  due to the  initial or  contingent  deferred  sales
charges, and which are thus higher.

    The Fund may provide  annualized  "yield" and "effective yield"  quotations.
The "yield" of the Fund refers to the income  generated by an  investment in the
Fund  over a 30-day  or  one-month  period  (which  period is stated in any such
advertisement or  communication).  This income is then annualized;  that is, the
amount of income  generated by the investment  over that period is assumed to be
generated each month over a one-year  period and is shown as a percentage of the
maximum  public  offering  price on the last day of that period.  The "effective
yield" is calculated  similarly,  but when  annualized  the income earned by the
investment  during that 30-day or one-month  period is assumed to be reinvested.
The effective yield is slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding
effect of this assumed reinvestment. A "yield" quotation, unlike a total rate of
return quotation, does not reflect changes in net asset value.

    The Fund will include  performance data for each class of Fund shares in any
advertisements,  reports or  communications  including Fund performance data. Of
course,  any fees charged by a  shareholder's  Shareholder  Servicing Agent will
reduce that shareholder's net return on his or her investment. See the Statement
of Additional  Information  for more  information  concerning the calculation of
yield and total rate of return quotations for the Fund.

                              GENERAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ORGANIZATION:  The Fund is a series of Landmark  International  Equity Funds,  a
Massachusetts  business  trust which was  organized on August 7, 1990.  It is an
open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act.

    The Fund is a  diversified  mutual fund.  Under the 1940 Act, a  diversified
mutual fund must invest at least 75% of its assets in cash and cash items,  U.S.
Government  securities,  investment  company  securities  and  other  securities
limited  as to any one  issuer to not more  than 5% of the  total  assets of the
mutual fund and not more than 10% of the voting securities of the issuer.

    Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a business trust may, under certain
circumstances,   be  held   personally   liable  as  partners  for  the  trust's
obligations.  However,  the risk of a shareholder  incurring  financial  loss on
account of  shareholder  liability  is limited  to  circumstances  in which both
inadequate  insurance  existed  and the  trust  itself  was  unable  to meet its
obligations.

    The Portfolio is a series of The Premium Portfolios, a trust organized under
the laws of the  State of New  York.  The  Declaration  of Trust of The  Premium
Portfolios  provides that the Fund and other entities investing in the Portfolio
are each liable for all  obligations of the  Portfolio.  It is not expected that
the liabilities of the Portfolio would ever exceed its assets.

VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS:  The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares,  may
create new series of shares and may divide  shares in each series into  classes.
Each share of the Fund gives the shareholder  one vote in Trustee  elections and
other matters  submitted to shareholders  for vote. All shares of each series of
the Fund have equal voting  rights  except  that,  in matters  affecting  only a
particular class, only shares of that particular class are entitled to vote.

    At any meeting of  shareholders  of the Fund, a Shareholder  Servicing Agent
may vote any  shares of which it is the  holder of record  and for which it does
not  receive  voting   instructions   proportionately  in  accordance  with  the
instructions  it  receives  for all  other  shares  of  which  that  Shareholder
Servicing Agent is the holder of record.

    The  Fund's  activities  are  supervised  by its  Board  of  Trustees.  As a
Massachusetts   business  trust,  the  Fund  is  not  required  to  hold  annual
shareholder  meetings.  Shareholder  approval  will  usually be sought  only for
changes in the Fund's or the Portfolio's fundamental investment restrictions and
for the  election of  Trustees  under  certain  circumstances.  Trustees  may be
removed by shareholders under certain  circumstances.  Each share of the Fund is
entitled to  participate  equally in dividends and other  distributions  and the
proceeds  of any  liquidation  of the Fund  except  that,  due to the  differing
expenses borne by each class, dividends and proceeds generally will be lower for
Class B shares than for Class A shares.

CERTIFICATES:   The  Fund's  Transfer  Agent  maintains  a  share  register  for
shareholders of record, i.e.,  Shareholder  Servicing Agents. Share certificates
are not issued.

RETIREMENT  PLANS:  Investors  may be able to establish new accounts in the Fund
under one of several  tax-sheltered  plans.  Such plans include  IRAs,  Keogh or
Corporate  Profit-Sharing and Money-Purchase  Plans,  403(b) Custodian Accounts,
and certain other qualified pension and profit-sharing  plans.  Investors should
consult with their Shareholder Servicing Agents and tax and retirement advisers.

EXPENSES:  LFBDS  has  agreed  to pay the  Fund's  ordinary  operating  expenses
(excluding interest,  taxes,  brokerage  commissions,  litigation costs or other
extraordinary  costs and  expenses and except for the fees paid under the Fund's
Advisory Agreement,  Administrative  Services Agreement,  Distribution Agreement
and Shareholder  Servicing  Agreements).  LFBDS receives a fee from the Fund, in
addition to the  administrative  services and distribution  fees,  estimated and
accrued daily and paid monthly in an amount such that immediately after any such
payment the aggregate ordinary operating expenses of the Fund would not on a per
annum basis exceed an agreed upon rate,  currently  1.75% of the Fund's  average
daily net  assets.  For the fiscal  year ended  December  31,  1994,  LFBDS paid
expenses in the amount of $227,842, and the Fund paid LFBDS under this agreement
the amount of $33,226. The expenses of the Fund were 1.75% of the Fund's average
daily net assets.

    The agreement of LFBDS to pay the ordinary  operating  expenses of the Fund,
as well as the obligation of the Fund to pay the corresponding fee to LFBDS, may
be  terminated  by either  LFBDS or the Fund upon not less than 30 days nor more
than 60 days written notice.

    All fee waivers are voluntary and may be terminated at any time.

                                    APPENDIX
                           PERMITTED INVESTMENTS AND
                              INVESTMENT PRACTICES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The Fund may enter into  repurchase  agreements  in
order to earn a return on temporarily  available cash. Repurchase agreements are
transactions  in which an  institution  sells the Fund a security  at one price,
subject  to the  Fund's  obligation  to  resell  and the  selling  institution's
obligation to repurchase that security at a higher price normally within a seven
day  period.  There may be delays  and risks of loss if the  seller is unable to
meet its obligation to repurchase.

    REVERSE  REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by
the Fund  and the  agreement  by the Fund to  repurchase  the  securities  at an
agreed-upon price, date and interest payment.  When the Fund enters into reverse
repurchase  transactions,  securities  of a dollar  amount equal in value to the
securities  subject to the agreement will be maintained in a segregated  account
with the Fund's  custodian.  The  segregation  of assets could impair the Fund's
ability to meet its current  obligations  or impede  investment  management if a
large portion of the Fund's assets are involved.  Reverse repurchase  agreements
are considered to be a form of borrowing.

    LENDING OF  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES.  Consistent  with  applicable  regulatory
requirements and in order to generate  additional  income, the Fund may lend its
portfolio securities to broker-dealers and other institutional  borrowers.  Such
loans must be callable at any time and continuously  secured by collateral (cash
or U.S.  Government  securities)  in an amount not less than the  market  value,
determined  daily,  of the securities  loaned.  It is intended that the value of
securities loaned by the Fund would not exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund's net assets.

    In the event of the  bankruptcy  of the other party to a securities  loan, a
repurchase  agreement  or  a  reverse  repurchase  agreement,   the  Fund  could
experience  delays in  recovering  either the  securities  lent or cash.  To the
extent that, in the meantime,  the value of the securities lent has increased or
the value of the securities purchased has decreased, the Fund could experience a
loss.

    RULE 144A SECURITIES.  The Fund may purchase restricted  securities that are
not  registered for sale to the general  public if the Adviser  determines  that
there is a dealer or institutional  market in the securities.  In that case, the
securities will not be treated as illiquid for purposes of the Fund's investment
limitations. The Trustees will review these determinations. These securities are
known as "Rule 144A  securities,"  because  they are traded  under SEC Rule 144A
among  qualified  institutional  buyers.  Institutional  trading  in  Rule  144A
securities is relatively  new, and the liquidity of these  investments  could be
impaired if trading in Rule 144A  securities  does not  develop or if  qualified
institutional  buyers become,  for a time,  uninterested in purchasing Rule 144A
securities.

    PRIVATE PLACEMENTS AND ILLIQUID  INVESTMENTS.  The Fund may invest up to 10%
of its net assets in securities for which there is no readily  available market.
These illiquid securities may include privately placed restricted securities for
which no institutional  market exists.  The absence of a trading market can make
it difficult to ascertain a market value for illiquid investments.  Disposing of
illiquid investments may involve time-consuming  negotiation and legal expenses,
and it may be difficult or  impossible  for the Fund to sell them promptly at an
acceptable price.

    "WHEN-ISSUED"  SECURITIES.  In order to ensure the  availability of suitable
securities, the Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" or on a "forward
delivery" basis,  which means that the securities would be delivered to the Fund
at a future date beyond customary  settlement time. Under normal  circumstances,
the Fund takes delivery of the securities. In general, the Fund does not pay for
the  securities  until  received and does not start earning  interest  until the
contractual settlement date. While awaiting delivery of the securities, the Fund
establishes a segregated  account  consisting of cash, cash  equivalents or high
quality  debt  securities  equal to the  amount  of the  Fund's  commitments  to
purchase "when-issued"  securities.  An increase in the percentage of the Fund's
assets  committed to the purchase of  securities  on a  "when-issued"  basis may
increase the volatility of its net asset value.

    CURRENCY  EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS.  Forward currency  exchange  contracts may be
entered  into for the Fund for the  purchase  or sale of non-U.S.  currency  for
hedging purposes against adverse rate changes or otherwise to achieve the Fund's
investment  objective.  A currency  exchange contract allows a definite price in
dollars to be fixed for securities of non-U.S.  issuers that have been purchased
or sold (but not settled) for the Fund.  Entering into such  exchange  contracts
may result in the loss of all or a portion of the benefits which otherwise could
have been  obtained from  favorable  movements in exchange  rates.  In addition,
entering into such  contracts  means  incurring  certain  transaction  costs and
bearing  the risk of  incurring  losses  if  rates do not move in the  direction
anticipated.

    SHORT SALES  "AGAINST  THE BOX." In a short sale,  the Fund sells a borrowed
security  and  has a  corresponding  obligation  to the  lender  to  return  the
identical  security.  The Fund may engage in short  sales only if at the time of
the short sale it owns or has the right to obtain,  at no  additional  cost,  an
equal  amount of the security  being sold short.  This  investment  technique is
known as a short  sale  "against  the box." The Fund may make a short  sale as a
hedge,  when it  believes  that the value of a security  owned by the Fund (or a
security convertible or exchangeable for such security) may decline, or when the
Fund wants to sell the  security at an  attractive  current  price but wishes to
defer  recognition  of gain or loss for tax  purposes.  Not more than 40% of the
Fund's total assets would be involved in short sales "against the box."

                                  1. THE FUND

     The  Landmark  International  Equity  Fund (the  "Fund") is a  diversified,
open-end  management  investment  company that was organized as a business trust
under  the  laws  of the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  on  August  7,  1990.
References in this Statement of Additional  Information to the  "Prospectus" are
to the Prospectus,  dated April 3, 1995, of the Fund by which shares of the Fund
are offered.

     The Fund seeks its investment  objective by investing all of its investable
assets in International  Equity Portfolio (the  "Portfolio").  The Portfolio,  a
series of The  Premium  Portfolios  (the  "Portfolio  Trust"),  is an  open-end,
diversified   management  investment  company  which  has  the  same  investment
objective and policies as the Fund.

     Citibank,  N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Adviser") is the Portfolio's investment
adviser. The Adviser manages the investments of the Portfolio from day to day in
accordance with the Portfolio's investment objective and policies. The selection
of  investments  for the  Portfolio  and the way they are managed  depend on the
conditions and trends in the economy and the financial marketplaces.

     The  Landmark  Funds   Broker-Dealer   Services,   Inc.   ("LFBDS"  or  the
"Administrator"),  the  administrator of the Fund and Signature  Financial Group
(Cayman),  Ltd. ("SFG"),  either directly or through a wholly-owned  subsidiary,
the  administrator of the Portfolio (the "Portfolio  Administrator"),  supervise
the overall  administration  of the Fund and the  Portfolio,  respectively.  The
Boards of Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio Trust provide broad supervision
over the affairs of the Fund and of the Portfolio,  respectively.  Shares of the
Fund are continuously sold by LFBDS, the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor"),
only to  investors  who are  customers  of a  financial  institution,  such as a
federal or state-chartered bank, trust company,  savings and loan association or
savings  bank,  or a  securities  broker,  that has entered  into a  shareholder
servicing  agreement  with  the  Fund  (collectively,   "Shareholder   Servicing
Agents").  Shares of the Fund are sold at net asset value,  plus, in the case of
Class A Shares,  a sales  charge  that may be  reduced  on  purchases  involving
substantial amounts and that may be eliminated in certain  circumstances.  LFBDS
receives  a  distribution  fee from the Fund  pursuant  to a  Distribution  Plan
adopted with respect to each class of shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule
12b-1 under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended  (the "1940 Act").
LFBDS also  receives a service  fee from the assets of the Fund  represented  by
Class B shares pursuant to the Distribution Plan adopted with respect to Class B
shares of the Fund.

               2. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

                              INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

     The  investment  objective  of the Fund is  long-term  growth  of  capital.
Dividend income, if any, is a consideration  incidental to the Fund's investment
objective of increasing the long-term value of its shareholders' investment.

     The investment objective of the Fund may be changed without approval by the
Fund's  shareholders,  but shareholders will be given written notice at least 30
days before any change is implemented. Of course, there can be no assurance that
the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

                              INVESTMENT POLICIES

     The Fund seeks its investment  objective by investing all of its investable
assets in the Portfolio, which has the same investment objective and policies as
the  Fund.  The  Prospectus  contains  a  discussion  of the  various  types  of
securities in which the Fund and the Portfolio may invest and the risks involved
in such investments.  The following supplements the information contained in the
Prospectus concerning the investment  objective,  policies and techniques of the
Fund and the Portfolio.  Since the investment  characteristics  of the Fund will
correspond directly to those of the Portfolio,  the following is a supplementary
discussion with respect to the Portfolio.

     As a  non-fundamental  policy, at least 65% of the value of the Portfolio's
total assets will be invested in equity securities and at least 65% of the value
of the  Portfolio's  total  assets  will be invested  in  securities  of issuers
organized in at least three  countries  other than the United States.  While the
Portfolio Trust's policy is to invest the Portfolio's assets primarily in common
stocks of companies  organized  outside the United States  ("non-U.S.  issuers")
believed to possess better than average  prospects for growth,  appreciation may
be sought in other types of securities, principally of non-U.S. issuers, such as
fixed income securities, convertible and non-convertible bonds, preferred stocks
and warrants,  when relative values make such purchases appear attractive either
as individual issues or as types of securities in certain economic environments.
There is no formula as to the  percentage  of assets that may be invested in any
one type of security.

     The Portfolio Trust has also adopted the following policies with respect to
the Portfolio's  investments in (i) warrants and (ii) securities of issuers with
less than three years' continuous operation.  The Portfolio Trust's purchases of
warrants for the  Portfolio  will not exceed 5% of the  Portfolio's  net assets.
Included  within that amount,  but not  exceeding  2% of its net assets,  may be
warrants  which are not listed on the New York Stock  Exchange  or the  American
Stock  Exchange.  Any such  warrants will be valued at their market value except
that warrants  which are attached to securities at the time such  securities are
acquired for the Portfolio will be deemed to be without value for the purpose of
this  restriction.  The  Portfolio  Trust  will not  invest  more than 5% of the
Portfolio's assets in companies which, including their respective  predecessors,
have a record of less than three years' continuous operation.

     The Fund may withdraw its investment from the Portfolio at any time, if the
Board of Trustees  determines that it is in the best interests of the Fund to do
so. Upon any such withdrawal,  the Fund's assets would be invested in accordance
with the investment policies described herein with respect to the Portfolio. The
policies  described  above and those described below are not fundamental and may
be changed without shareholder approval.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     The  Portfolio  may  invest  in  repurchase  agreements  collateralized  by
securities in which the Portfolio may otherwise  invest.  Repurchase  agreements
are  agreements by which the Portfolio  purchases a security and  simultaneously
commits to resell that security to the seller (which is usually a member bank of
the U.S.  Federal Reserve System or a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange
(or a  subsidiary  thereof))  at an  agreed-upon  date  within a number  of days
(usually  not more than  seven)  from the date of  purchase.  The  resale  price
reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon market rate of interest which is
unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. A repurchase
agreement  involves the  obligation  of the seller to pay the agreed upon price,
which  obligation is in effect secured by the value of the underlying  security,
usually  U.S.  Government  or  Government  agency  issues.  Under  the 1940 Act,
repurchase  agreements  may  be  considered  to  be  loans  by  the  buyer.  The
Portfolio's  risk is limited to the ability of the seller to pay the agreed-upon
amount on the delivery date. If the seller  defaults,  the  underlying  security
constitutes collateral for the seller's obligation to pay although the Portfolio
may incur certain costs in liquidating  this collateral and in certain cases may
not be permitted to liquidate this collateral. All repurchase agreements entered
into by the  Portfolio  are fully  collateralized,  with such  collateral  being
marked to market daily.

RULE 144A SECURITIES

     The Portfolio Trust may purchase  securities for the Portfolio that are not
registered  ("Rule  144A  securities")  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933 (the
"Securities  Act"),  but can be  offered  and sold to  "qualified  institutional
buyers" under Rule 144A under the Securities Act.  However,  the Portfolio Trust
does not  invest  more  than  15% of the  Portfolio's  net  assets  in  illiquid
investments,  which include  securities for which there is no readily  available
market,  securities subject to contractual  restrictions on resale and Rule 144A
securities,  unless the Trustees determine, based on the trading markets for the
specific Rule 144A security,  that it is liquid.  The Portfolio Trust's Trustees
may  adopt  guidelines  and  delegate  to the  Adviser  the  daily  function  of
determining  and  monitoring  liquidity of Rule 144A  securities.  The Portfolio
Trust's Trustees,  however,  retain oversight and are ultimately responsible for
the determinations.

     Since it is not possible to predict with  assurance  exactly how the market
for Rule 144A  securities  will  develop,  the Portfolio  Trust's  Trustees will
carefully monitor the Portfolio's investments in Rule 144A securities,  focusing
on such factors,  among  others,  as valuation,  liquidity and  availability  of
information.  The  liquidity of  investments  in Rule 144A  securities  could be
impaired if trading in Rule 144A  securities  does not  develop or if  qualified
institutional  buyers become for a time  uninterested  in  purchasing  Rule 144A
securities.

SECURITIES OF NON-U.S. ISSUERS

     The  Portfolio  Trust may invest  assets of the  Portfolio in securities of
non-U.S.  issuers.  Investing in securities  issued by companies whose principal
business  activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks
not  present in U.S.  investments.  For  example,  the value of such  securities
fluctuates based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar. In addition, there
is  generally  less  publicly  available  information  about  non-U.S.  issuers,
particularly  those not subject to the disclosure and reporting  requirements of
the U.S.  securities laws.  Non-U.S.  issuers are generally not bound by uniform
accounting,  auditing and financial reporting  requirements  comparable to those
applicable to U.S. issuers.  Investments in securities of non-U.S.  issuers also
involve the risk of possible  adverse changes in investment or exchange  control
regulations,  expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitations on the removal
of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or
diplomatic and other developments which would affect such investments.  Further,
economies  of other  countries  or areas of the world may  differ  favorably  or
unfavorably from the economy of the U.S.

     It is  anticipated  that  in most  cases  the  best  available  market  for
securities  of non-U.S.  issuers  would be on exchanges  or in  over-the-counter
markets located outside the U.S. Non-U.S.  securities markets,  while growing in
volume and sophistication,  are generally not as developed as those in the U.S.,
and  securities  of  some  non-U.S.   issuers  (particularly  those  located  in
developing  countries)  may be less liquid and more volatile than  securities of
comparable U.S. companies. Non-U.S. security trading practices,  including those
involving  securities  settlement  where the Portfolio's  assets may be released
prior to receipt of payments,  may expose the Portfolio to increased risk in the
event of a failed  trade  or the  insolvency  of a  non-U.S.  broker-dealer.  In
addition,  non-U.S.  brokerage commissions are generally higher than commissions
on securities traded in the U.S. and may be non-negotiable. In general, there is
less overall  governmental  supervision  and  regulation of non-U.S.  securities
exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S.

     The  Portfolio  may  invest its  assets in  issuers  located in  developing
countries,  which are  generally  defined as countries in the initial  stages of
their  industrialization  cycles with low per capita income. All of the risks of
investing  in non-U.S.  securities  are  heightened  by  investing in issuers in
developing countries.  Shareholders should be aware that investing in the equity
and fixed income markets of developing  countries  involves exposure to economic
structures that are generally less diverse and mature,  and to political systems
which can be expected to have less stability, than those of developed countries.
Historical  experience  indicates that the markets of developing  countries have
been more  volatile  than the markets of  developed  countries  with more mature
economies;  such markets often have provided  higher rates of return and greater
risks.  These  heightened  risks  include  (i) greater  risks of  expropriation,
confiscatory  taxation  and  nationalization,  and less  social,  political  and
economic  stability;  (ii) the small  current size of markets for  securities of
issuers  based in developing  countries  and the  currently low or  non-existent
volume of trading,  resulting  in a lack of liquidity  and in price  volatility;
(iii) certain  national  policies which may restrict the Portfolio's  investment
opportunities  including  restrictions  on  investing  in issuers or  industries
deemed  sensitive  to  relevant  national  interests;  and (iv) the  absence  of
developed legal structures.

     Investments  in  closed-end   investment  companies  which  primarily  hold
securities of non-U.S. issuers may entail the risk that the market value of such
investments may be substantially  less than their net asset value and that there
would be duplication of investment management and other fees and expenses.

     American  Depositary   Receipts  ("ADRs"),   European  Depositary  Receipts
("EDRs"),  Global  Depositary  Receipts  ("GDRs") and other forms of  depositary
receipts for securities of non-U.S.  issuers  provide an alternative  method for
the Portfolio to make non-U.S.  investments.  These  securities  are not usually
denominated  in the same  currency  as the  securities  into  which  they may be
converted.  Generally,  ADRs, in registered  form,  are designed for use in U.S.
securities  markets and EDRs and GDRs,  in bearer form,  are designed for use in
European and global securities markets.  ADRs are receipts typically issued by a
U.S. bank or trust company  evidencing  ownership of the underlying  securities.
EDRs and GDRs are  European  and global  receipts,  respectively,  evidencing  a
similar arrangement.  ADRs, EDRs, and GDRs are subject to many of the same risks
that apply to other investments in non-U.S. securities.

     The  Portfolio  may invest in  securities  of non-U.S.  issuers that impose
restrictions  on transfer  within the United States or to United States persons.
Although  securities  subject to such  transfer  restrictions  may be marketable
abroad, they may be less liquid than securities of non-U.S.  issuers of the same
class that are not subject to such restrictions.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS

     Because the Portfolio may buy and sell securities denominated in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar, and receive interest, dividends and sale proceeds in
currencies  other than the U.S.  dollar,  the  Portfolio may enter into currency
exchange transactions to convert U.S. currency to non-U.S. currency and non-U.S.
currency to U.S. currency,  as well as convert one non-U.S.  currency to another
non-U.S. currency. The Portfolio either enters into these transactions on a spot
(i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the currency exchange markets,
or uses forward contracts to purchase or sell non-U.S. currencies. The Portfolio
may also enter into currency  hedging  transactions in an attempt to protect the
value  of the  assets  of  the  Portfolio  as  measured  in  U.S.  dollars  from
unfavorable  changes  in  currency  exchange  rates  and  control   regulations.
(Although the Portfolio's assets are valued daily in terms of U.S. dollars,  the
Portfolio Trust does not intend to convert the Portfolio's  holdings of non-U.S.
currencies  into U.S.  dollars on a daily  basis.) It is not  intended  that the
Portfolio speculate in currency exchange rates or forward contracts.

     The Portfolio may convert  currency on a spot basis from time to time,  and
investors should be aware of the costs of currency conversion. Although currency
exchange  dealers do not charge a fee for  conversion,  they do realize a profit
based on the  difference  (the  "spread")  between  the prices at which they are
buying  and  selling  various  currencies.  Thus,  a dealer  may offer to sell a
currency  at one rate,  while  offering  a lesser  rate of  exchange  should the
Portfolio desire to resell that currency to the dealer.

         A  forward  contract  involves  an  obligation  to  purchase  or sell 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.  These contracts are traded in the interbank  market  conducted
directly between  currency  traders  (usually large commercial  banks) and their
customers. A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement,  and no fees
or commissions are charged at any stage for trades.

     When the  Portfolio  enters into a contract  for the  purchase or sale of a
security denominated in a non-U.S. currency, it may desire to "lock in" the U.S.
dollar  price of the  security.  By  entering  into a forward  contract  for the
purchase or sale, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars,  of the amount of non-U.S.
currency involved in the underlying security transaction,  the Portfolio will be
able to protect  against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the
relationship between the U.S. dollar and the non-U.S. currency during the period
between the date the security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment
is made or received.

     When the Adviser  believes  that the currency of a  particular  country may
suffer a substantial  decline against the U.S.  dollar,  the Portfolio may enter
into a forward contract to sell, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars,  the amount
of non-U.S.  currency  approximating the value of some or all of the Portfolio's
securities  denominated in such non-U.S.  currency.  The precise matching of the
forward  contract  amounts  and the  value  of the  securities  involved  is not
generally  possible  since  the  future  value of such  securities  in  non-U.S.
currencies  changes as a consequence  of market  movements in the value of those
securities between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it
matures.  The projection of a short-term  hedging strategy is highly  uncertain.
The  Portfolio  does not enter into such  forward  contracts  or  maintain a net
exposure to such contracts where the consummation of the contracts obligates the
Portfolio  to deliver an amount of  non-U.S.  currency in excess of the value of
the Portfolio's  securities or other assets denominated in that currency.  Under
normal  circumstances,  consideration of the prospect for currency parities will
be  incorporated  in the  investment  decisions  made  with  regard  to  overall
diversification  strategies.  However, the Adviser believes that it is important
to have the flexibility to enter into such forward  contracts when it determines
that the best interests of the Portfolio will be served.

     The Portfolio generally would not enter into a forward contract with a term
greater than one year. At the maturity of a forward contract, the Portfolio will
either sell the security and make delivery of the non-U.S.  currency,  or retain
the security and  terminate its  contractual  obligation to deliver the non-U.S.
currency by purchasing an  "offsetting"  contract with the same currency  trader
obligating  it to purchase,  on the same maturity  date,  the same amount of the
non-U.S.  currency.  If the  Portfolio  retains the  security  and engages in an
offsetting transaction,  the Portfolio will incur a gain or a loss (as described
below) to the extent that there has been movement in forward contract prices. If
the Portfolio engages in an offsetting  transaction,  it may subsequently  enter
into a new forward contract to sell the non-U.S. currency. Should forward prices
decline during the period  between the date the Portfolio  enters into a forward
contract  for the sale of the  non-U.S.  currency and the date it enters into an
offsetting  contract  for the  purchase of such  currency,  the  Portfolio  will
realize a gain to the extent  the  selling  price of the  currency  exceeds  the
purchase price of the currency.  Should forward prices  increase,  the Portfolio
will suffer a loss to the extent that the purchase price of the currency exceeds
the selling price of the currency.

     It is  impossible  to  forecast  with  precision  the  market  value of the
Portfolio's securities at the expiration of a forward contract.  Accordingly, it
may be necessary for the Portfolio to purchase additional  non-U.S.  currency on
the spot market if the market  value of the  security is less than the amount of
non-U.S.  currency  the  Portfolio  is obligated to deliver and if a decision is
made to sell the security and make delivery of such currency. Conversely, it may
be necessary to sell on the spot market some of the non-U.S.  currency  received
upon the sale of the  security  if its market  value  exceeds the amount of such
currency the Portfolio is obligated to deliver.

     The Portfolio may also purchase put options on a non-U.S. currency in order
to protect against currency rate fluctuations.  If the Portfolio purchases a put
option on a non-U.S.  currency and the value of the U.S. currency declines,  the
Portfolio  will have the right to sell the non-U.S.  currency for a fixed amount
in U.S. dollars and will thereby offset, in whole or in part, the adverse effect
on the Portfolio which otherwise would have resulted.  Conversely,  where a rise
in the U.S.  dollar  value of  another  currency  is  projected,  and  where the
Portfolio  anticipates  investing in  securities  traded in such  currency,  the
Portfolio may purchase call options on the non-U.S. currency.

     The purchase of such options could offset, at least partially,  the effects
of adverse  movements in exchange rates.  However,  the benefit to the Portfolio
from purchases of non-U.S. currency options will be reduced by the amount of the
premium and related  transaction  costs.  In addition,  where currency  exchange
rates do not move in the direction or to the extent  anticipated,  the Portfolio
could sustain losses on  transactions in non-U.S.  currency  options which would
require it to forgo a portion or all of the benefits of advantageous  changes in
such rates.

     The Portfolio may write options on non-U.S. currencies for hedging purposes
or  otherwise  to achieve  its  investment  objective.  For  example,  where the
Portfolio  anticipates  a  decline  in the value of the U.S.  dollar  value of a
non-U.S.  security  due to  adverse  fluctuations  in  exchange  rates it could,
instead  of  purchasing  a put  option,  write  a call  option  on the  relevant
currency.  If the expected  decline  occurs,  the option will most likely not be
exercised,  and the  diminution  in value of the security  held by the Portfolio
will be offset by the amount of the premium received.

     Similarly,  instead  of  purchasing  a call  option  to  hedge  against  an
anticipated  increase in the cost of a non-U.S.  security to be acquired because
of an increase in the U.S.  dollar value of the currency in which the underlying
security is  primarily  traded,  the  Portfolio  could write a put option on the
relevant  currency  which,  if rates move in the manner  projected,  will expire
unexercised  and allow the  Portfolio  to hedge  such  increased  cost up to the
amount of the premium. However, the writing of a currency option will constitute
only a partial hedge up to the amount of the premium,  and only if rates move in
the expected direction.  If this does not occur, the option may be exercised and
the Portfolio would be required to purchase or sell the underlying currency at a
loss which may not be offset by the amount of the  premium.  Through the writing
of options on  currencies,  the Portfolio also may be required to forgo all or a
portion of the benefits which might  otherwise have been obtained from favorable
movements in exchange rates.

     Put and call options on non-U.S.  currencies  written by the Portfolio will
be covered by segregation of cash,  short-term money market  instruments or high
quality debt securities in an account with the custodian in an amount sufficient
to  discharge  the  Portfolio's  obligations  with  respect  to the  option,  by
acquisition of the non-U.S.  currency or of a right to acquire such currency (in
the case of a call  option)  or the  acquisition  of a right to  dispose  of the
currency  (in the case of a put  option),  or in such other  manner as may be in
accordance with the  requirements of any exchange on which, or the  counterparty
with which, the option is traded and applicable laws and regulations.

     Investing  in ADRs  presents  many of the  same  risks  regarding  currency
exchange  rates as investing  directly in securities  denominated  in currencies
other than the U.S.  dollar.  Because the securities  underlying ADRs are traded
primarily in non-U.S. currencies, changes in currency exchange rates will affect
the value of ADRs.  For example,  a decline in the U.S.  dollar value of another
currency in which  securities are primarily  traded will reduce the U.S.  dollar
value of such  securities,  even if their  value in the other  currency  remains
constant,  and thus will reduce the value of the ADRs covering such  securities.
The Portfolio may employ any of the above described  non-U.S.  currency  hedging
techniques to protect the value of its assets invested in ADRs.

     The Portfolio's dealings in non-U.S.  currency contracts are limited to the
transactions  described above. Of course, the Portfolio is not required to enter
into such  transactions  and does not do so  unless  deemed  appropriate  by the
Adviser.  It should also be realized that these methods of protecting  the value
of the  Portfolio's  securities  against a decline in the value of a currency do
not  eliminate   fluctuations  in  the  underlying  prices  of  the  securities.
Additionally, although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a
decline  in the  value of the  hedged  currency,  they  also  tend to limit  any
potential gain which might result should the value of such currency increase.

     The Portfolio has  established  procedures  consistent with policies of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC")  concerning  forward  contracts.
Since  those  policies  currently  recommend  that an amount of the  Portfolio's
assets  equal to the amount of the  purchase be held aside or  segregated  to be
used to pay for the  commitment,  the Portfolio is expected always to have cash,
cash equivalents or high quality debt securities  available  sufficient to cover
any commitments under these contracts or to limit any potential risk.

SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX"

     In a  short  sale,  the  Portfolio  sells  a  borrowed  security  and has a
corresponding  obligation  to the lender to return the identical  security.  The
Portfolio, in accordance with applicable investment restrictions,  may engage in
short  sales  only if at the time of the short  sale it owns or has the right to
obtain, at no additional cost, an equal amount of the security being sold short.
This investment technique is known as a short sale "against the box."

     In a short sale,  the seller does not  immediately  deliver the  securities
sold and is said to have a short  position in those  securities  until  delivery
occurs.  If the Portfolio  engages in a short sale, the collateral for the short
position  is  maintained  for  the  Portfolio  by  the  custodian  or  qualified
sub-custodian.  While the short sale is open, an amount of  securities  equal in
kind and amount to the securities sold short or securities  convertible  into or
exchangeable  for such  equivalent  securities  is  maintained  in a  segregated
account for the Portfolio.  These  securities  constitute the  Portfolio's  long
position.

     The Portfolio does not engage in short sales against the box for investment
purposes.  The Portfolio  may,  however,  make a short sale against the box as a
hedge,  when it believes  that the price of a security  may  decline,  causing a
decline  in the  value of a  security  owned  by the  Portfolio  (or a  security
convertible or exchangeable  for such security),  or when the Portfolio wants to
sell the  security  at an  attractive  current  price,  but also wishes to defer
recognition  of gain or loss for federal  income tax purposes or for purposes of
satisfying certain tests applicable to regulated  investment companies under the
Internal  Revenue Code. In such case, any future losses in the Portfolio's  long
position should be reduced by a gain in the short position. Conversely, any gain
in the long  position  should be  reduced by a loss in the short  position.  The
extent to which such gains or losses are reduced  depends upon the amount of the
security sold short relative to the amount the Portfolio owns. There are certain
additional  transaction  costs  associated with short sales against the box, but
the  Portfolio  endeavors  to  offset  these  costs  with  the  income  from the
investment of the cash proceeds of short sales.

     The  Adviser  does not expect that more than 40% of the  Portfolio's  total
assets  would be involved in short sales  against the box.  The Adviser does not
currently intend to engage in such sales.

LENDING OF SECURITIES

     Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements and in order to generate
income,  the  Portfolio  may lend its  securities  to  broker-dealers  and other
institutional borrowers. Such loans will usually be made only to member banks of
the U.S.  Federal  Reserve  System  and to  member  firms of the New York  Stock
Exchange  (and  subsidiaries  thereof).  Loans of  securities  would be  secured
continuously  by  collateral  in  cash,  cash   equivalents  or  U.S.   Treasury
obligations  maintained  on a current  basis at an amount at least  equal to the
market value of the securities  loaned. The cash collateral would be invested in
high quality, short-term instruments. The Portfolio would have the right to call
a loan and  obtain  the  securities  loaned  at any time on  customary  industry
settlement  notice  (which  will not  usually  exceed  five  days).  During  the
existence of a loan,  the Portfolio  would continue to receive the equivalent of
the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities  loaned and would
also receive  compensation based on investment of the collateral.  The Portfolio
would not,  however,  have the right to vote any securities having voting rights
during the existence of the loan, but would call the loan in  anticipation of an
important  vote to be taken among holders of the  securities or of the giving or
withholding of their consent on a material matter  affecting the investment.  As
with other  extensions  of credit  there are risks of delay in  recovery or even
loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially.  However,
the loans  would be made only to  entities  deemed by the  Adviser to be of good
standing,  and when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the consideration which can
be earned currently from loans of this type justifies the attendant risk. If the
Adviser  determines  to make  loans,  it is not  intended  that the value of the
securities  loaned by the Portfolio would exceed 33 1/3% of the value of its net
assets.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

     The Portfolio may purchase  securities on a "when-issued"  or on a "forward
delivery" basis. It is expected that, under normal circumstances,  the Portfolio
would take delivery of such securities. When the Portfolio commits to purchase a
security  on a  "when-issued"  or on a  "forward  delivery"  basis,  it  sets up
procedures consistent with SEC policies.  Since those policies currently require
that an amount of the Portfolio's  assets equal to the amount of the purchase be
held aside or  segregated  to be used to pay for the  commitment,  the Portfolio
will  always  have  cash,  cash  equivalents  or high  quality  debt  securities
sufficient to cover any  commitments  or to limit any potential  risk.  However,
even though the Portfolio does not intend to make such purchases for speculative
purposes and intends to adhere to the  provisions of SEC policies,  purchases of
securities  on such bases may involve  more risk than other types of  purchases.
For example,  the Portfolio may have to sell assets which have been set aside in
order to meet redemptions.  Also, if the Adviser determines it is advisable as a
matter of investment  strategy to sell the  "when-issued" or "forward  delivery"
securities,  the Portfolio  would be required to meet its  obligations  from the
then available cash flow or the sale of  securities,  or,  although it would not
normally  expect  to do so,  from  the  sale of the  "when-issued"  or  "forward
delivery" securities themselves (which may have a value greater or less than the
Portfolio's payment obligation).

                            INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

     The Fund and the Portfolio  Trust,  on behalf of the  Portfolio,  have each
adopted the  following  policies  which may not be changed  without  approval by
holders of a majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund or the
Portfolio,  which as used in this Statement of Additional  Information means the
vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the  outstanding  voting  securities of
the Fund or the  Portfolio,  respectively,  present  at a  meeting  at which the
holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or the
Portfolio  are  present or  represented  by proxy,  or (ii) more than 50% of the
outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund or the  Portfolio.  The term "voting
securities" as used in this paragraph has the same meaning as in the 1940 Act.

     Neither the Fund nor the Portfolio may:

     (1) Borrow money,  except that as a temporary  measure for extraordinary or
emergency  purposes  it may borrow  from banks in an amount not to exceed 1/3 of
the current value of its net assets,  including the amount borrowed (and neither
the Fund nor the  Portfolio  may  purchase any  securities  at any time at which
borrowings exceed 5% of the total assets of the Fund or the Portfolio,  taken at
market value). It is intended that the Fund or Portfolio would borrow money only
from banks and only to accommodate  requests for the repurchase of shares of the
Fund or  beneficial  interests  in the  Portfolio  while  effecting  an  orderly
liquidation of portfolio securities.  (For additional related restrictions,  see
clause (i) under the caption "State and Federal Restrictions.")

     (2) Purchase any security or evidence of interest therein on margin, except
that the Portfolio may obtain such short term credit as may be necessary for the
clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

     (3)  Underwrite  securities  issued by other  persons,  except that all the
assets of the Fund may be  invested  in another  registered  investment  company
having the same investment  objectives and policies and  substantially  the same
investment  restrictions  as  those  with  respect  to the  Fund (a  "Qualifying
Portfolio")  and except  insofar as the Portfolio may  technically  be deemed an
underwriter under the Securities Act in selling a security.

     (4) Make loans to other  persons  except  (a)  through  the  lending of its
portfolio  securities,  but not in  excess  of 33  1/3%,  of the  Fund's  or the
Portfolio's net assets, (b) through the use of fixed time deposits or repurchase
agreements or the purchase of short-term  obligations,  or (c) by purchasing all
or a  portion  of an issue of debt  securities  of  types  commonly  distributed
privately  to  financial  institutions;  for  purposes  of this  paragraph 4 the
purchase  of  short  term  commercial  paper  or a  portion  of an issue of debt
securities  which are part of an issue to the public shall not be considered the
making of a loan.

     (5) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited  partnership  interests
but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests therein), interests
in oil,  gas or  mineral  leases,  commodities  or  commodity  contracts  in the
ordinary  course of business (the Fund and the Portfolio  reserve the freedom of
action to hold and to sell real estate  acquired as a result of the ownership of
securities by the Fund and the Portfolio).

     (6) With  respect to 75% of the  Fund's or the  Portfolio's  total  assets,
purchase  securities  of any issuer if such  purchase at the time thereof  would
cause  more than 5% of the  Fund's or the  Portfolio's  assets  (taken at market
value) to be invested in the securities of such issuer (other than securities or
obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  United  States  or any  agency  or
instrumentality  of the United  States);  provided  that,  for  purposes of this
restriction  the issuer of an option or futures  contract shall not be deemed to
be the issuer of the  security  or  securities  underlying  such  contract;  and
further provided that the Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets
in a Qualifying Portfolio.

     (7) With respect to 75% of the total  assets of the Fund or the  Portfolio,
purchase  securities  of any issuer if such  purchase at the time thereof  would
cause more than 10% of the voting  securities  of such  issuer to be held by the
Fund or the Portfolio, except that all the assets of the Fund may be invested in
a Qualifying Portfolio.

     (8) Concentrate its investments in any particular  industry  (including the
securities of foreign governments or multilateral lending institutions), but the
Fund may  invest  all of its  assets  in a  Qualifying  Portfolio  (except  that
positions  in  futures  or  options  contracts  shall  not be  subject  to  this
restriction).

     (9) Issue any senior  security (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) if
such  issuance  is  specifically  prohibited  by the 1940 Act or the  rules  and
regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  except as  appropriate to evidence a debt
incurred without violating Investment Restriction (1) above.

     As a  non-fundamental  policy,  neither the Fund nor the Portfolio Trust on
behalf of the Portfolio will knowingly invest in securities which are subject to
legal or contractual  restrictions on resale (other than  repurchase  agreements
maturing in not more than seven days) if, as a result thereof,  more than 15% of
the Fund's or the  Portfolio's  net assets  (taken at market  value) would be so
invested (including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days).

STATE AND FEDERAL RESTRICTIONS

     In order to comply  with  certain  U.S.  state  and  federal  statutes  and
policies  neither the Fund nor the Portfolio  Trust, on behalf of the Portfolio,
does as a matter of operating policy:

     (i) borrow  money for any purpose in excess of 10% of the net assets of the
Fund or the  Portfolio  (taken  at  cost)  (moreover,  neither  the Fund nor the
Portfolio  Trust will purchase any  securities  for the Fund or the Portfolio at
any time at which  borrowings  exceed 5% of the total  assets of the Fund or the
Portfolio, as the case may be (taken at market value)),

     (ii) pledge,  mortgage or  hypothecate  for any purpose in excess of 10% of
the net  assets  of the Fund or the  Portfolio,  respectively  (taken  at market
value),

     (iii) sell any security which the Fund or the Portfolio does not own unless
by virtue of the  ownership of other  securities  there is at the time of sale a
right to obtain securities, without payment of further consideration, equivalent
in kind and amount to the  securities  sold and  provided  that if such right is
conditional the sale is made upon the same conditions,

     (iv) invest for the purpose of  exercising  control or  management,  except
that all of the assets of the Fund may be invested in a Qualifying Portfolio,

     (v) purchase securities issued by any registered investment company, except
that all of the assets of the Fund may be invested in a Qualifying Portfolio and
except by purchase in the open market where no commission or profit to a sponsor
or  dealer  results  from  such  purchase  other  than  the  customary  broker's
commission, or except when such purchase, though not made in the open market, is
part of a plan of merger or consolidation;  provided, however, that the Fund and
the Portfolio,  will not purchase the  securities of any  registered  investment
company if such  purchase at the time  thereof  would cause more than 10% of the
total assets of the Fund or the Portfolio,  respectively  (taken in each case at
the greater of cost or market  value) to be invested in the  securities  of such
issuers or would cause more than 3% of the outstanding  voting securities of any
such  issuer  to be held for the Fund or the  Portfolio  (for  purposes  of this
clause (v) securities of non-U.S.  banks shall be treated as investment  company
securities,  except  that debt  securities  and  non-voting  preferred  stock of
non-U.S. banks are not subject to the 10% limitation described herein),

     (vi) invest more than 10% of the net assets of the Fund in securities  that
are not readily  marketable,  including  debt  securities  for which there is no
established market and fixed time deposits and repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days,  except that all the assets of the Fund may be invested in
a Qualifying Portfolio,

     (vii)  purchase or retain any  securities  issued by an issuer any of whose
officers,  directors,  trustees or security  holders is an officer or Trustee of
the Fund or the Portfolio Trust, or is an officer or director of the Adviser, if
after  the  purchase  of the  securities  of  such  issuer  by the  Fund  or the
Portfolio,  one or more of such persons owns beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of
the shares or securities,  or both,  all taken at market value,  of such issuer,
and such  persons  owning  more  than  1/2 of 1% of such  shares  or  securities
together own  beneficially  more than 5% of such shares or securities,  or both,
all taken at market value,

     (viii) write, purchase or sell any put or call option or any
combination  thereof  or enter  into any  futures  contract,  except  that  this
restriction  shall not  prevent the Fund or the  Portfolio  from  entering  into
transactions  involving  non-U.S.  currencies as described in the Prospectus and
this Statement of Additional Information,

     (ix) make short sales of securities or maintain a short position, unless at
all  times  when a short  position  is open it  owns  an  equal  amount  of such
securities or securities  convertible into or  exchangeable,  without payment of
any further  consideration,  for  securities  of the same issue as, and equal in
amount to, the  securities  sold short,  and unless not more than 10% of the net
assets  of the  Fund  or the  Portfolio  (taken  at  market  value)  is  held as
collateral  for such  sales at any one time (the Fund and the  Portfolio  do not
presently intend to make such short sales for investment purposes).

     These  policies are not  fundamental  and may be changed by the Fund or the
Portfolio without the approval of its shareholders in response to changes in the
various state and federal requirements.

PERCENTAGE AND RATING RESTRICTIONS

     If a percentage  or rating  restriction  on investment  or  utilization  of
assets set forth  above or referred  to in the  Prospectus  is adhered to at the
time  an  investment  is made or  assets  are so  utilized,  a later  change  in
percentage  resulting  from  changes in the value of the  securities  or a later
change in the rating of the  securities  held for the Portfolio or the Fund will
not be considered a violation of policy.

                           3. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

     A total rate of return  quotation for the Fund is calculated for any period
by (a)  dividing (i) the sum of the net asset value per share on the last day of
the  period  and the net asset  value per share on the last day of the period of
shares  purchasable  with  dividends  and capital gains  distributions  declared
during such period with respect to a share held at the  beginning of such period
and with  respect to shares  purchased  with such  dividends  and capital  gains
distributions,  by (ii) the public  offering price per share on the first day of
such period, and (b) subtracting 1 from the result. Any annualized total rate of
return  quotation  is  calculated  by (x) adding 1 to the  period  total rate of
return  quotation  calculated  above,  (y) raising  such sum to a power which is
equal to 365 divided by the number of days in such period, and (z) subtracting 1
from the result.  Total rates of return may also be calculated on investments at
various sales charge levels or at net asset value. Any performance data which is
based on a reduced sales charge or net asset value per share would be reduced if
the maximum sales charge were taken into account.

     Any  current  yield  quotation  for  the  Fund  consists  of an  annualized
historical  yield,  carried at least to the nearest  hundredth  of one  percent,
based on a 30 calendar day or one-month  period and is calculated by (a) raising
to the sixth  power the sum of 1 plus the  quotient  obtained  by  dividing  the
Fund's net  investment  income  earned  during the period by the  product of the
average daily number of shares  outstanding during the period that were entitled
to receive dividends and the maximum public offering price per share on the last
day of the period,  (b)  subtracting 1 from the result,  and (c) multiplying the
result by 2.

     Set forth below is total rate of return  information for the Class A shares
of the Fund for the periods indicated, assuming that dividends and capital gains
distributions,  if any,  were  reinvested,  and  that at the  beginning  of such
periods the maximum  sales charge of 4.75% had been  applicable  to purchases of
shares of the Fund.

                                                              REDEEMABLE VALUE

         Comparative  performance  information  may be used from time to time in
advertising shares of the Fund,  including data from Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc. and other industry sources and publications. From time to time the Fund may
compare  its  performance  against  inflation  with  the  performance  of  other
instruments against inflation,  such as FDIC-insured bank money market accounts.
In  addition,  advertising  for the  Fund may  indicate  that  investors  should
consider diversifying their investment portfolios in order to seek protection of
the value of their  assets  against  inflation.  From time to time,  advertising
materials  for the Fund may refer to or  discuss  current  or past  economic  or
financial conditions,  developments and events. The Fund's advertising materials
also may refer to the integration of the world's securities markets, discuss the
investment   opportunities   available  worldwide  and  mention  the  increasing
importance of an investment strategy including non-U.S. investments.

               4. DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE; VALUATION OF
           SECURITIES; ADDITIONAL  PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

     The net asset  value of each share of each class of the Fund is  determined
each day during which the New York Stock  Exchange (the  "Exchange") is open for
trading  ("Business  Day").  As of the  date of  this  Statement  of  Additional
Information,  the  Exchange is open for  trading  every  weekday  except for the
following  holidays  (or the days on which they are  observed):  New Year's Day,
Presidents'  Day,  Good  Friday,  Memorial  Day,  Independence  Day,  Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. This  determination is made once each day as
of the close of regular  trading on the Exchange  (currently  4:00 p.m.  Eastern
time) by adding the market value of all securities and other assets attributable
to a class of shares of the Fund (including its interest in the Portfolio), then
subtracting the liabilities  charged to the class,  and then dividing the result
by the number of outstanding  shares of the class.  Per share net asset value of
each class of the Fund's  shares can be expected  to differ  because the Class B
shares bear higher  expenses than Class A shares.  The net asset value per share
of each class of shares is  effective  for orders  received  and accepted by the
Distributor prior to its calculation.

     The value of the Portfolio's net assets (i.e.,  the value of its securities
and other assets less its liabilities, including expenses payable or accrued) is
determined  at the same  time and on the same  days as the net  asset  value per
share of the Fund is determined. The net asset value of the Fund's investment in
the  Portfolio  is equal to the  Fund's  pro rata share of the net assets of the
Portfolio. For purposes of calculating net asset value per share, all assets and
liabilities  initially  expressed in non-U.S.  currencies will be converted into
U.S.  dollars at the  prevailing  market rates at the time of valuation.  Equity
securities  are valued at the last sale price on the  exchange on which they are
primarily traded or on the NASDAQ system for unlisted national market issues, or
at the last quoted bid price for  securities in which there were no sales during
the day or for unlisted securities not reported on the NASDAQ system. Securities
listed on a non-U.S. exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price available
before  the time when net  assets  are  valued.  Bonds and  other  fixed  income
securities  (other  than  short-term  obligations)  are  valued  on the basis of
valuations furnished by a pricing service, use of which has been approved by the
Board of Trustees of the Portfolio Trust. In making such valuations, the pricing
service utilizes both dealer-supplied  valuations and electronic data processing
techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size
trading in similar groups of securities,  yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity,
type of issue, trading  characteristics and other market data, without exclusive
reliance upon quoted prices or exchange or over-the-counter  prices,  since such
valuations  are  believed  to  reflect  more  accurately  the fair value of such
securities.  Short-term  obligations (maturing in 60 days or less) are valued at
amortized  cost,  which  constitutes  fair value as  determined  by the Board of
Trustees of the Portfolio  Trust.  Futures  contracts are normally valued at the
settlement price on the exchange on which they are traded.  Securities for which
there are no such  valuations  are  valued at fair value as  determined  in good
faith by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio Trust.

     Trading in  securities  on most  non-U.S.  exchanges  and  over-the-counter
markets is  normally  completed  before the close of regular  trading on the New
York Stock  Exchange and may also take place on days on which the New York Stock
Exchange  is  closed.  If events  materially  affecting  the  value of  non-U.S.
securities  occur  between  the time when the  exchange on which they are traded
closes and the time when the  Portfolio's  net asset value is  calculated,  such
securities   will  be  valued  at  fair  value  in  accordance  with  procedures
established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the
Portfolio Trust.

     Interest  income  on  long-term  obligations  held  for  the  Portfolio  is
determined on the basis of interest accrued plus amortization of "original issue
discount"  (generally,  the difference between issue price and stated redemption
price at maturity) and premiums  (generally,  the excess of purchase  price over
stated redemption price at maturity).  Interest income on short-term obligations
is determined on the basis of interest accrued less amortization of any premium.

     Subject  to  compliance  with  applicable  regulations,  the  Fund  and the
Portfolio  Trust have each  reserved  the right to pay the  redemption  price of
shares of the Fund or beneficial  interests in the Portfolio,  either totally or
partially,  by a distribution in kind of readily marketable  securities (instead
of cash).  The securities so  distributed  would be valued at the same amount as
that  assigned  to them in  calculating  the net asset  value for the  shares or
beneficial  interests being sold. If a holder of shares or beneficial  interests
received a  distribution  in kind,  such holder  could incur  brokerage or other
charges in converting the securities to cash.

     The Fund or the  Portfolio  Trust may  suspend the right of  redemption  or
postpone the date of payment for shares of the Fund or  beneficial  interests in
the  Portfolio  more than seven days  during any period  when (a) trading in the
markets the Fund or Portfolio normally utilizes is restricted,  or an emergency,
as defined by the rules and  regulations of the SEC,  exists making  disposal of
the Fund's or Portfolio's  investments or  determination  of its net asset value
not  reasonably  practicable;  (b) the New York Stock  Exchange is closed (other
than  customary  weekend  and  holiday  closings);  or (c) the SEC has by  order
permitted such suspension.

LETTER OF INTENT

     If an investor anticipates  purchasing $25,000 or more of Class A shares of
the Fund alone or in  combination  with Class B shares of the Fund or any of the
classes of other  Landmark  Funds  within a 13-month  period,  the  investor may
obtain such shares at the same reduced sales charge as though the total quantity
were  invested  in one lump sum by  completing  a Letter  of Intent on the terms
described  below.  Subject to acceptance by the  Distributor  and the conditions
mentioned  below,  each  purchase  will  be  made  at a  public  offering  price
applicable to a single  transaction of the dollar amount specified in the Letter
of Intent. The shareholder or his or her Shareholder Servicing Agent must inform
the  Distributor  that the  Letter of Intent is in effect  each time  shares are
purchased.  The shareholder makes no commitment to purchase  additional  shares,
but if his or her purchases  within 13 months plus the value of shares  credited
toward  completion  of the Letter of Intent do not total the sum  specified,  an
increased sales charge will apply as described  below. A purchase not originally
made pursuant to a Letter of Intent may be included under a subsequent Letter of
Intent  executed  within 90 days of such purchase if the Distributor is informed
in writing of this intent within such 90-day period.  The value of shares of the
Fund presently held, at cost or maximum offering price (whichever is higher), on
the date of the first purchase under the Letter of Intent,  may be included as a
credit  toward the  completion  of such  Letter,  but the reduced  sales  charge
applicable  to the  amount  covered  by  such  Letter  is  applied  only  to new
purchases.  Instructions  for  issuance of shares in the name of a person  other
than the person  signing the Letter of Intent must be  accompanied  by a written
statement from the Shareholder Servicing Agent stating that the shares were paid
for by the person signing such Letter. Neither income dividends nor capital gain
distributions taken in additional shares will apply toward the completion of the
Letter of Intent.  The value of any shares redeemed or otherwise  disposed of by
the  purchaser  prior to  termination  or  completion of the Letter of Intent is
deducted from the total purchases made under such Letter.

     If the  investment  specified  in the  Letter of  Intent  is not  completed
(either  prior  to or by the  end  of  the  13-month  period),  the  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent will redeem,  within 20 days of the expiration of the Letter of
Intent,  an appropriate  number of the shares in order to realize the difference
between the reduced  sales charge that would apply if the  investment  under the
Letter of Intent had been  completed  and the sales  charge that would  normally
apply to the number of shares actually purchased.  By completing and signing the
Letter of Intent, the shareholder irrevocably appoints the Shareholder Servicing
Agent  his or  her  attorney  to  surrender  for  redemption  any or all  shares
purchased  under the  Letter of Intent  with full power of  substitution  in the
premises.

RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION

     A shareholder  qualifies for cumulative  quantity discounts on the purchase
of Class A shares  when his or her new  investment,  together  with the  current
offering price value of all holdings of that  shareholder in the Landmark Funds,
reaches a  discount  level.  See  "Purchases"  in the  Prospectus  for the sales
charges on quantity  discounts.  For example,  if a Fund shareholder owns shares
valued at $25,000 and purchases an  additional  $25,000 of Class A shares of the
Fund,  the sales charge for the $25,000  purchase  would be at the rate of 4.00%
(the rate  applicable to single  transactions  of $50,000).  A shareholder  must
provide the  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent with  information  to verify that the
quantity sales charge discount is applicable at the time the investment is made.

                                 5. MANAGEMENT

comparable  positions  with certain  other funds for which  LFBDS,  SFG or their
affiliates serve as the distributor or administrator.

    As of February  28,  1995,  all  Trustees and officers as a group owned less
than 1% of the Fund's outstanding  shares. As of the same date, more than 95% of
the outstanding shares of the Fund were held of record by Citibank,  N.A. or its
affiliates as Shareholder Servicing Agents of the Fund for the accounts of their
respective clients.

    The  Declaration  of  Trust  of each of the  Fund  and the  Portfolio  Trust
provides  that  each of the Fund and the  Portfolio  Trust,  respectively,  will
indemnify its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in
connection  with  litigation  in which  they may be  involved  because  of their
offices with the Fund or the Portfolio Trust, as the case may be, unless,  as to
liability to the Fund, the Portfolio Trust or their respective investors,  it is
finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful  misfeasance,  bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless  disregard of the duties  involved in their  offices,  or
with respect to any matter  unless it is finally  adjudicated  that they did not
act in good faith in the  reasonable  belief that their actions were in the best
interests of the Fund or the Portfolio Trust, as the case may be. In the case of
settlement,  such  indemnification  will  not be  provided  unless  it has  been
determined  by  a  court  or  other  body  approving  the  settlement  or  other
disposition,  or by a reasonable  determination,  based upon a review of readily
available facts, by vote of a majority of disinterested  Trustees of the Fund or
the Portfolio Trust, or in a written opinion of independent  counsel,  that such
officers or Trustees have not engaged in willful  misfeasance,  bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of their duties.

ADVISER

    Citibank  manages  the assets of the  Portfolio  pursuant  to an  investment
advisory agreement (the "Advisory  Agreement").  Subject to such policies as the
Board of Trustees of the Portfolio Trust may determine,  the Adviser manages the
Portfolio's  securities and makes  investment  decisions for the Portfolio.  The
Adviser  furnishes at its own expense all  services,  facilities  and  personnel
necessary in connection with managing the Portfolio's  investments and effecting
securities transactions for the Portfolio.  The Advisory Agreement will continue
in effect until September 13, 1995 and thereafter as long as such continuance is
specifically  approved  at  least  annually  by the  Board  of  Trustees  of the
Portfolio Trust or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding  voting securities
of the  Portfolio  and, in either  case,  by a majority  of the  Trustees of the
Portfolio  Trust who are not parties to the  Advisory  Agreement  or  interested
persons of any such party,  at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the
Advisory Agreement.

    The  Advisory  Agreement  provides  that the Adviser may render  services to
others. The Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty on not more than 60
days'  nor  less  than 30 days'  written  notice  by the  Portfolio  Trust  when
authorized  either by a vote of a majority of the outstanding  voting securities
of the  Portfolio  or by a vote of a majority  of the Board of  Trustees  of the
Portfolio  Trust,  or by the  Adviser on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30
days'  written  notice,  and will  automatically  terminate  in the event of its
assignment.  The Advisory  Agreement  provides  that neither the Adviser nor its
personnel shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any
loss arising out of any  investment  or for any act or omission in the execution
of security transactions for the Portfolio, except for willful misfeasance,  bad
faith or gross negligence or reckless  disregard of its or their obligations and
duties under the Advisory Agreement.

    The Prospectus contains a description of the fees payable to the Adviser for
services under the Advisory  Agreement.  For the fiscal years ended December 31,
1992 and December  31, 1993 and for the four months  ended April 30,  1994,  the
fees paid to Citibank under a prior investment  advisory agreement with the Fund
were $63,289,  $145,145 and $103,552,  respectively.  For the period from May 1,
1994 to December 31, 1994, the fee paid to Citibank under the Advisory Agreement
was $218,950.

ADMINISTRATOR

    Pursuant to administrative services agreements (the "Administrative Services
Agreements"),   LFBDS  and  SFG  provide  the  Fund  and  the  Portfolio  Trust,
respectively,   with  general  office   facilities  and  supervise  the  overall
administration  of the  Fund or the  Portfolio  Trust,  including,  among  other
responsibilities, the negotiation of contracts and fees with, and the monitoring
of performance and billings of, the Fund's or the Portfolio Trust's  independent
contractors and agents; the preparation and filing of all documents required for
compliance  by  the  Fund  or the  Portfolio  Trust  with  applicable  laws  and
regulations;  and arranging for the maintenance of books and records of the Fund
or the  Portfolio  Trust.  The  Administrator  and the  Portfolio  Administrator
provide  persons  satisfactory  to the  Board  of  Trustees  of the  Fund or the
Portfolio  Trust to serve as Trustees and officers of the Fund and the Portfolio
Trust,  respectively.  Such  Trustees  and  officers,  as well as certain  other
employees  and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio  Trust,  may be directors,
officers or employees of LFBDS, SFG or their affiliates.

    The   Prospectus   contains  a  description  of  the  fees  payable  to  the
Administrator and the Portfolio  Administrator under the Administrative Services
Agreements.  For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1992, December 31, 1993 and
December 31, 1994,  the fees paid by the Fund to LFBDS under the  Administrative
Services  Agreement and a prior  administrative  services agreement were $9,493,
$21,772 and $38,077,  respectively.  For the period from May 1, 1994 to December
31, 1994 the fee paid by the Portfolio to SFG under the Administrative  Services
Agreement with the Portfolio Trust was $10,948.

    The  Administrative  Services  Agreement with the Fund acknowledges that the
names "Landmark" and "Landmark Funds" are the property of the  Administrator and
provides  that if LFBDS ceases to serve as the  Administrator  of the Fund,  the
Fund  would  change its name so as to delete  the word  "Landmark"  or the words
"Landmark  Funds".  The  Administrative  Services  Agreement  with the Fund also
provides that LFBDS may render administrative  services to others and may permit
other  investment  companies to use the word  "Landmark" or the words  "Landmark
Funds" in their names.

    The  Administrative  Services Agreement with the Fund continues in effect if
such continuance is specifically  approved at least annually by the Fund's Board
of  Trustees  or by a vote  of a  majority  of  the  Fund's  outstanding  voting
securities  and,  in either  case,  by a majority  of the  Trustees  who are not
parties to the  Administrative  Services Agreement or interested persons of such
party.  The   Administrative   Services   Agreement  with  the  Fund  terminates
automatically if it is assigned and may be terminated without penalty by vote of
a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities or by either party on not
more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days'  written  notice.  The  Administrative
Services  Agreement  with the Fund also  provides  that  neither  LFBDS,  as the
Administrator,  nor its  personnel  shall be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any act or omission in the administration or management of
the Fund, except for willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of its or their duties or by reason of reckless  disregard of its or
their obligations and duties under the Administrative Services Agreement.

    The Administrative Services Agreement with the Portfolio Trust provides that
SFG may render  administrative  services to others. The Administrative  Services
Agreement with the Portfolio Trust  terminates  automatically  if it is assigned
and may be terminated without penalty by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting  securities of the Portfolio Trust or by either party on not more than 60
days'  nor less  than 30  days'  written  notice.  The  Administrative  Services
Agreement  with the  Portfolio  Trust also  provides  that  neither  SFG, as the
Portfolio  Administrator,  nor its  personnel  shall be liable  for any error of
judgment or mistake of law or for any act or omission in the  administration  or
management of the Portfolio Trust, except for willful misfeasance,  bad faith or
gross  negligence  in the  performance  of its or their  duties  or by reason of
reckless  disregard of its or their  obligations  and duties under the Portfolio
Trust's Administrative Services Agreement.

    LFBDS and SFG are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries of Signature  Financial Group,
Inc.  SFG is a company  organized  under  the laws of the  Cayman  Islands.  Its
principal  place of business  is in George  Town,  Grand  Cayman,  British  West
Indies.

    Pursuant to sub-administrative  services agreements,  Citibank performs such
sub-administrative  duties for the Fund and the Portfolio  Trust as from time to
time are agreed upon by Citibank and,  respectively,  LFBDS and SFG.  Citibank's
sub-administrative duties may include providing equipment and clerical personnel
necessary  for  maintaining  the Fund's or the Portfolio  Trust's  organization,
participation  in the  preparation  of documents  required for compliance by the
Fund  or  the  Portfolio  Trust  with  applicable  laws  and  regulations,   the
preparation  of certain  documents in  connection  with meetings of Trustees and
shareholders,  and other  functions  which would  otherwise  be performed by the
Administrator.   For  performing  such  sub-administrative   services,  Citibank
receives  compensation  as from time to time is agreed upon by LFBDS or SFG, not
in  excess  of the  amount  paid to  LFBDS  or SFG for its  services  under  the
Administrative  Services  Agreement.  All such  compensation is paid by LFBDS or
SFG.

DISTRIBUTOR

    LFBDS  serves  as  the   Distributor  of  the  Fund's  shares   pursuant  to
Distribution  Agreements  with the Fund with  respect to each class of shares of
the Fund. Unless otherwise terminated, the Distribution Agreements continue from
year to year upon annual  approval by the Fund's  Board of  Trustees,  or by the
vote of a majority of the outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund and by the
vote of a majority  of the Board of  Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to
the  Agreements  or  interested  persons of any such party,  cast in person at a
meeting  called for the purpose of voting on such  approval.  Each  Distribution
Agreement will terminate in the event of its assignment,  as defined in the 1940
Act.

    The Fund has  adopted  Distribution  Plans  (the  "Distribution  Plans")  in
accordance  with Rule  12b-1  under the 1940 Act with  respect  to each class of
shares of the Fund after  concluding that there is a reasonable  likelihood that
the  Distribution  Plans  will  benefit  the  Fund  and  its  shareholders.  The
Distribution  Plan with respect to Class A shares  provides  that the Fund shall
pay a distribution  fee to the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.10%
of the Fund's average daily net assets  represented  by the Class A shares.  The
Distribution Plan with respect to Class B shares provides that the Fund will pay
the Distributor a distribution  fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.75% of the
Fund's  average  daily  net  assets  represented  by the  Class  B  shares.  The
Distributor   receives  the  distribution   fees  for  its  services  under  the
Distribution Agreements in connection with the distribution of the Fund's shares
of each class (exclusive of any advertising expenses incurred by the Distributor
in connection with the sale of Class A shares of the Fund).  The Distributor may
use all or any portion of such  distribution fee to pay for expenses of printing
prospectuses  and reports used for sales  purposes,  expenses of the preparation
and printing of sales literature,  commissions to dealers who sell shares of the
applicable class of the Fund and other such distribution-related expenses.

    The Fund is also permitted to pay the Distributor a service fee with respect
to the  Class B shares  at an  annual  rate not to  exceed  0.25% of the  Fund's
average daily net assets represented by the Class B shares.

    The  Distribution  Plan with  respect to the Class A Shares also permits the
Fund to pay the  Distributor  an  additional  fee  (not to  exceed  0.05% of the
average  daily  net  assets  of the Class A  shares)  in  anticipation  of or as
reimbursement  for print or electronic media  advertising  expenses  incurred in
connection with the sale of Class A shares.

    The   Distribution   Plans  continue  in  effect  if  such   continuance  is
specifically  approved  at least  annually  by a vote of both a majority  of the
Fund's Trustees and a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested  persons"
of the  Fund  and who have no  direct  or  indirect  financial  interest  in the
operation of the  Distribution  Plans or in any  agreement  related to the Plans
(for purposes of this paragraph  "Qualified  Trustees").  Each Distribution Plan
requires that the Fund and the Distributor provide to the Board of Trustees, and
the Board of  Trustees  review,  at least  quarterly,  a  written  report of the
amounts expended (and the purposes  therefor) under the Distribution  Plan. Each
Distribution  Plan further  provides that the  selection  and  nomination of the
Qualified Trustees is committed to the discretion of the disinterested  Trustees
(as  defined  in the 1940 Act) then in  office.  The  Distribution  Plans may be
terminated with respect to any class of shares of the Fund at any time by a vote
of a majority of the Fund's Qualified Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding  voting  securities  of  that  class  of  shares  of the  Fund.  The
Distribution Plan applicable to a class of shares of the Fund may not be amended
to increase  materially the amount of the Fund's permitted  expenses  thereunder
without the approval of a majority of the  outstanding  securities of that class
of shares of the Fund and may not be  materially  amended in any case  without a
vote of a majority of both the Trustees and Qualified Trustees.  The Distributor
will  preserve  copies of any plan,  agreement  or report made  pursuant to each
Distribution  Plan for a period of not less than six years  from the date of the
Plan, and for the first two years the  Distributor  will preserve such copies in
an easily accessible place.

    As contemplated by the  Distribution  Plans,  LFBDS acts as the agent of the
Fund in  connection  with the  offering  of shares of the Fund  pursuant  to the
Distribution  Agreements.  After the prospectus and periodic reports of the Fund
have  been  prepared,  set in type and  mailed  to  existing  shareholders,  the
Distributor  pays for the printing and  distribution of copies thereof which are
used in  connection  with the  offering  of  shares  of the Fund to  prospective
investors.  The  Prospectus  contains  a  description  of  fees  payable  to the
Distributor  under the  Distribution  Agreements.  For the  fiscal  years  ended
December  31, 1992,  December  31, 1993 and December 31, 1994,  the fees paid to
LFBDS under the Distribution  Agreement and a prior distribution  agreement were
$6,329,   $14,514  and  $31,590  (of  which  $1,880  was  voluntarily   waived),
respectively,  no portion of which was applicable to reimbursement  for expenses
incurred in connection with print or electronic media advertising.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENTS, TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN

    The Fund has adopted an  administrative  services plan (the  "Administrative
Services  Plan") after having  concluded  that there is a reasonable  likelihood
that  the   Administrative   Services   Plan  will  benefit  the  Fund  and  its
shareholders. The Administrative Services Plan provides that the Fund may obtain
the services of an administrator,  a transfer agent, a custodian and one or more
Shareholder  Servicing Agents,  and may enter into agreements  providing for the
payment of fees for such services.  Under the Administrative  Services Plan, the
total of the fees paid from the Fund to the Fund's Administrator and Shareholder
Servicing  Agents may not exceed 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets on
an annualized  basis for the Fund's  then-current  fiscal year. Any distribution
fees  (other than any fee  concerning  electronic  or other  media  advertising)
payable under the Distribution  Plan for Class A shares of the Fund are included
in this expense  limitation  for the Class A shares.  This  limitation  does not
apply to any fees paid under the Distribution  Plan for the Class B shares.  The
Administrative  Services  Plan  continues  in  effect  if  such  continuance  is
specifically  approved  at least  annually  by a vote of both a majority  of the
Trustees and a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested  persons" of the
Fund and who have no direct or indirect  financial  interest in the operation of
the  Administrative  Services Plan or in any agreement related to such Plan (for
purposes of this paragraph "Qualified  Trustees").  The Administrative  Services
Plan  requires  that the Fund  provide to its Board of Trustees and the Board of
Trustees review,  at least  quarterly,  a written report of the amounts expended
(and  the  purposes  therefor)  under  the  Administrative  Services  Plan.  The
Administrative  Services  Plan  may be  terminated  at any  time  by a vote of a
majority of the Qualified Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting  securities  of the Fund.  The  Administrative  Services  Plan may not be
amended to  increase  materially  the amount of  permitted  expenses  thereunder
without the approval of a majority of the outstanding  voting  securities of the
Fund  and  may not be  materially  amended  in any  case  without  a vote of the
majority of both the Trustees and the Qualified Trustees.

    The Fund has entered into a  shareholder  servicing  agreement (a "Servicing
Agreement")  with each  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent and a Transfer  Agency and
Service  Agreement  with State Street Bank and Trust  Company  ("State  Street")
pursuant to which State Street (or its affiliate State Street Canada, Inc.) acts
as transfer agent for the Fund. The Fund has entered into a Custodian  Agreement
with Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT") and a Fund Accounting Agreement with
Signature Financial Services, Inc. ("SFSI") pursuant to which custodial and fund
accounting services,  respectively,  are provided for the Fund. See "Shareholder
Servicing  Agents" and "Transfer  Agent,  Custodian and Fund  Accountant" in the
Prospectus for additional  information,  including a description of fees paid to
the Shareholder Servicing Agents under the Servicing Agreements.  For the fiscal
years ended  December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1994, the aggregate fees payable
to Shareholder  Servicing Agents under the Shareholder Servicing Agreements were
$58,058 (of which $21,772 was voluntarily waived) and $126,215 (of which $47,241
was voluntarily waived), respectively.

    The Portfolio  Trust has also adopted an  administrative  services plan (the
"Portfolio  Administrative  Plan") which  provides that the Portfolio  Trust may
obtain the services of an  administrator,  a transfer  agent and a custodian and
may enter into  agreements  providing for the payment of fees for such services.
Under the Portfolio Administrative Plan, the administrative services fee payable
to the  Portfolio  Administrator  from the Portfolio may not exceed 0.05% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets on an annualized basis for its then-current
fiscal year.

    The Portfolio Administrative Plan continues in effect if such continuance is
specifically  approved  at least  annually  by a vote of both a majority  of the
Portfolio  Trust's Trustees and a majority of the Portfolio Trust's Trustees who
are not "interested persons" of the Portfolio and who have no direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of the Portfolio  Administrative  Plan or in
any agreement  related to such Plan (for purposes of this  paragraph  "Qualified
Trustees").  The Portfolio Administrative Plan requires that the Portfolio Trust
provide to the Board of  Trustees  and the Board of  Trustees  review,  at least
quarterly,  a written report of the amounts expended (and the purposes therefor)
under the Portfolio  Administrative Plan. The Portfolio  Administrative Plan may
not  be  amended  to  increase  materially  the  amount  of  permitted  expenses
thereunder  without  the  approval  of a  majority  of  the  outstanding  voting
securities of the Portfolio Trust and may not be materially  amended in any case
without a vote of the majority of both the  Portfolio  Trust's  Trustees and the
Portfolio Trust's Qualified Trustees.

    The Portfolio Trust has entered into a Custodian Agreement with IBT pursuant
to which  IBT acts as  custodian  for the  Portfolio.  The  Portfolio  Trust has
entered  into a Fund  Accounting  Agreement  with SFSI  pursuant  to which  SFSI
provides  fund  accounting  services for the  Portfolio.  Pursuant to a separate
Transfer Agency and Service  Agreement with the Portfolio  Trust,  SFSI provides
transfer agency services to the Portfolio.  See "Shareholder  Servicing  Agents"
and  "Transfer  Agent,  Custodian and Fund  Accountant"  in the  Prospectus  for
additional information.

    The  principal  business  address  of  IBT  is One  Lincoln  Plaza,  Boston,
Massachusetts  02111.  The  principal  business  address of SFSI is 6 St.  James
Avenue,  Boston,  Massachusetts  02116. The principal  business address of State
Street is 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

AUDITORS

    Price Waterhouse LLP are the independent  certified  public  accountants for
the Fund,  providing audit services and assistance and consultation with respect
to the preparation of filings with the SEC. The address of Price  Waterhouse LLP
is 160 Federal Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts  02110.  Price Waterhouse are the
chartered  accountants for the Portfolio  Trust. The address of Price Waterhouse
is Suite 3000, 1 First Canadian Place, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1H7, Canada.

                           6. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

    The Portfolio Trust trades  securities for the Portfolio if it believes that
a transaction net of costs (including  custodian  charges) will help achieve the
Portfolio's  investment objectives.  Changes in the Portfolio's  investments are
made without regard to the length of time a security has been held, or whether a
sale would result in the recognition of a profit or loss. Therefore, the rate of
turnover is not a limiting  factor when  changes are  appropriate.  The turnover
rate for the  Portfolio  is  expected  to be less than 100%  annually.  Specific
decisions  to  purchase  or sell  securities  for the  Portfolio  are  made by a
portfolio  manager who is an employee  of the Adviser and who is  appointed  and
supervised by its senior officers. The portfolio manager may serve other clients
of the Adviser in a similar capacity.

    The primary consideration in placing portfolio securities  transactions with
broker-dealers  for  execution  is to obtain and maintain  the  availability  of
execution  at  the  most  favorable  prices  and in the  most  effective  manner
possible.   The   Adviser   attempts  to  achieve   this  result  by   selecting
broker-dealers  to execute  transactions  on behalf of the  Portfolio  and other
clients of the Adviser on the basis of their professional capability,  the value
and  quality  of their  brokerage  services,  and the  level of their  brokerage
commissions.  In the case of securities  traded in the  over-the-counter  market
(where no stated  commissions  are paid but the prices include a dealer's markup
or  markdown),  the Adviser  normally  seeks to deal  directly  with the primary
market makers, unless in its opinion, best execution is available elsewhere.  In
the case of securities purchased from underwriters,  the cost of such securities
generally includes a fixed underwriting  commission or concession.  From time to
time,  soliciting  dealer fees are available to the Adviser on the tender of the
Portfolio's  securities in so-called tender or exchange offers.  Such soliciting
dealer  fees are in effect  recaptured  for the  Portfolio  by the  Adviser.  At
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect.

    Under the  Advisory  Agreement,  in  connection  with the  selection of such
brokers or dealers  and the placing of such  orders,  the Adviser is directed to
seek for the Portfolio in its best  judgment,  prompt  execution in an effective
manner at the most favorable  price.  Subject to this requirement of seeking the
most favorable  price,  securities may be bought from or sold to  broker-dealers
who have furnished  statistical,  research and other  information or services to
the  Adviser  or the  Portfolio,  subject  to any  applicable  laws,  rules  and
regulations.

    The investment  advisory fee that the Portfolio pays to the Adviser will not
be reduced as a consequence  of the Adviser's  receipt of brokerage and research
services.  While such  services  are not  expected to reduce the expenses of the
Adviser,  the  Adviser  would,  through  the  use of  the  services,  avoid  the
additional  expenses  which would be  incurred  if it should  attempt to develop
comparable information through its own staff.

    In  certain  instances  there  may be  securities  that are  suitable  as an
investment  for the Portfolio as well as for one or more of the Adviser's  other
clients.  Investment  decisions for the  Portfolio  and for the Adviser's  other
clients  are  made  with  a  view  to  achieving  their  respective   investment
objectives. It may develop that a particular security is bought or sold for only
one  client  even  though it might be held by,  or  bought  or sold  for,  other
clients.  Likewise,  a particular security may be bought for one or more clients
when one or more  clients  are  selling  the same  security.  Some  simultaneous
transactions are inevitable when several clients receive  investment advice from
the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for
the investment  objectives of more than one client. When two or more clients are
simultaneously  engaged  in the  purchase  or sale  of the  same  security,  the
securities are allocated  among clients in a manner  believed to be equitable to
each. It is recognized that in some cases this system could adversely affect the
price of or the size of the position obtainable in a security for the Portfolio.
When  purchases or sales of the same  security for the  Portfolio  and for other
portfolios managed by the Adviser occur contemporaneously,  the purchase or sale
orders may be  aggregated in order to obtain any price  advantages  available to
large volume purchases or sales.

    For the fiscal  years ended  December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1993 and for
the four months ended April 30, 1994, the Fund paid brokerage commissions in the
amount of $29,932, $75,162 and $40,599, respectively. For the period from May 1,
1994 to December 31, 1994,  the  Portfolio  paid  brokerage  commissions  in the
amount of $48,435.

            7. DESCRIPTION OF SHARES, VOTING RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

    The Fund's  Declaration  of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited
number of full and fractional Shares of Beneficial  Interest (par value $0.00001
per share) and to divide or combine the shares  into a greater or lesser  number
of shares without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests in the
Fund.  Each share  represents an equal  proportionate  interest in the Fund with
each other share (except for differences among classes). Currently, the Fund has
one series of shares,  divided into two classes. Upon liquidation or dissolution
of the Fund,  the Fund's  shareholders  of each class are  entitled to share pro
rata in the Fund's net assets  available for distribution to its shareholders of
the same  class.  The Fund  reserves  the right to create  and issue  additional
series and classes of shares, in which case, the shares of each series and class
would participate  equally with shareholders of the same series and class in the
Fund's  earnings,  dividends and  distribution of net assets upon liquidation or
dissolution.  Shares of each  series  would be entitled  to vote  separately  to
approve advisory  agreements or changes in investment  policy, but shares of all
series  would be entitled  to vote  together in the  election  or  selection  of
Trustees and  accountants  for the Fund. In matters  affecting only a particular
series  or  class,  only  shares of that  particular  series  or class  would be
entitled to vote.

    Shareholders  are  entitled  to one vote for each  share  held on matters on
which they are entitled to vote. Shareholders in the Fund do not have cumulative
voting rights,  and shareholders  owning more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of the Fund may elect all of the  Trustees  of the Fund if they  choose to do so
and in such event the other  shareholders in the Fund would not be able to elect
any Trustee.  The Fund is not required to hold, and has no present  intention of
holding, annual meetings of shareholders but the Fund will hold special meetings
of  shareholders  when  in the  judgment  of the  Trustees  it is  necessary  or
desirable to submit matters for a shareholder  vote.  Shareholders  have,  under
certain  circumstances  (e.g.,  upon the  application  and submission of certain
specified documents to the Trustees by a specified number of shareholders),  the
right to communicate  with other  shareholders  in connection  with requesting a
meeting of  shareholders  for the  purpose  of  removing  one or more  Trustees.
Shareholders  also have under certain  circumstances  the right to remove one or
more  Trustees  without a meeting by a  declaration  in  writing by a  specified
number  of  shareholders.  No  material  amendment  may be  made  to the  Fund's
Declaration of Trust without the  affirmative  vote of the holders of a majority
of the  outstanding  shares  of each  series  affected  by the  amendment.  (See
"Investment Objective,  Policies and Restrictions -- Investment  Restrictions".)
At any meeting of  shareholders  of the Fund, a Shareholder  Servicing Agent may
vote any  shares of which it is the  holder of record  and for which it does not
receive voting instructions  proportionately in accordance with the instructions
it receives for all other shares of which that  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent is
the holder of record.  Shares have no  preference,  pre-emptive,  conversion  or
similar rights.  Shares, when issued, are fully paid and non-assessable,  except
as set forth below.

    The  Fund  may  enter  into  a  merger  or  consolidation,  or  sell  all or
substantially  all of its  assets,  if  approved  by the vote of the  holders of
two-thirds of the Fund's outstanding  shares,  voting as a single class,  except
that if the  Trustees  of the Fund  recommend  such  sale of  assets,  merger or
consolidation,  the  approval by vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund's
outstanding shares would be sufficient. The Fund may be terminated (i) by a vote
of a majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund or (ii) by the
Trustees  by  written  notice  to  the  shareholders  of  the  Fund.  If  not so
terminated, the Fund will continue indefinitely.

    Share certificates will not be issued.

    The  Fund is an  entity  of the  type  commonly  known  as a  "Massachusetts
business trust". Under Massachusetts law,  shareholders of such a business trust
may, under certain circumstances,  be held personally liable as partners for its
obligations  and  liabilities.  However,  the  Declaration  of Trust contains an
express disclaimer of shareholder  liability for acts or obligations of the Fund
and  provides  for  indemnification  and  reimbursement  of expenses out of Fund
property for any shareholder  held personally  liable for the obligations of the
Fund.  The  Declaration  of Trust  also  provides  that  the  Fund may  maintain
appropriate   insurance  (e.g.,   fidelity  bonding  and  errors  and  omissions
insurance) for the protection of the Fund, its shareholders, Trustees, officers,
employees and agents  covering  possible tort and other  liabilities.  Thus, the
risk of a  shareholder  incurring  financial  loss  on  account  of  shareholder
liability is limited to circumstances in which both inadequate insurance existed
and the Fund itself was unable to meet its obligations.

    The Declaration of Trust further  provides that  obligations of the Fund are
not binding  upon the  Trustees  individually  but only upon the property of the
Fund and that the Trustees  will not be liable for any action or failure to act,
but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a Trustee against any liability
to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful  misfeasance,
bad faith,  gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
conduct of his or her office.

    The Portfolio is a series of the Portfolio Trust, organized as a trust under
the laws of the State of New York.  The Portfolio  Trust's  Declaration of Trust
provides investors in the Portfolio (e.g., other investment companies (including
the Fund),  insurance  company separate accounts and common and commingled trust
funds) are each liable for all obligations of the Portfolio.  However,  the risk
of the Fund incurring  financial loss on account of such liability is limited to
circumstances  in which both  inadequate  insurance  existed  and the  Portfolio
itself  was  unable  to  meet  its  obligations.  It is not  expected  that  the
liabilities of the Portfolio would ever exceed its assets.

    Each investor in the  Portfolio,  including the Fund, may add to or withdraw
from its  investment  in the  Portfolio on each business day. As of the close of
regular  trading on each business day, the value of each  investor's  beneficial
interest in the Portfolio is determined  by  multiplying  the net asset value of
the Portfolio by the  percentage,  effective for that day, that  represents that
investor's  share of the aggregate  beneficial  interests in the Portfolio.  Any
additions  or  withdrawals,  that  are to be  effected  on that  day,  are  then
effected. The investor's percentage of the aggregate beneficial interests in the
Portfolio is then  re-computed as the  percentage  equal to the fraction (i) the
numerator of which is the value of such  investor's  investment in the Portfolio
as of the close of regular  trading,  on such day plus or minus, as the case may
be, the amount of any additions to or withdrawals from the investor's investment
in the Portfolio  effected on such day, and (ii) the denominator of which is the
aggregate net asset value of the  Portfolio as of the close of regular  trading,
on such day plus or minus,  as the case may be, the amount of the net  additions
to or  withdrawals  from  the  aggregate  investments  in the  Portfolio  by all
investors in the  Portfolio.  The  percentage  so  determined is then applied to
determine the value of the investor's  interest in the Portfolio as of the close
of regular trading on the next following business day.

                       8. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TAX MATTERS

    The Fund has elected to be treated,  and intends to qualify each year,  as a
"regulated  investment  company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986,  as amended (the "Code"),  by meeting all  applicable  requirements  of
Subchapter  M,  including  requirements  as to the  nature of the  Fund's  gross
income, the amount of Fund distributions, and the composition and holding period
of the Fund's portfolio assets.  Provided all such requirements are met, no U.S.
federal  income or excise  taxes  generally  will be  required to be paid by the
Fund,  although  non-U.S.  source  income  earned by the Fund may be  subject to
non-U.S.  withholding  taxes. If the Fund should fail to qualify as a "regulated
investment  company"  for any year,  the Fund  would  incur a regular  corporate
federal  income  tax upon  its  taxable  income  and  Fund  distributions  would
generally be taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.  The Portfolio believes
that it also will not be required to pay any U.S. federal income or excise taxes
on its income.

    The  portion  of  the  Fund's  ordinary  income  dividends  attributable  to
dividends  received in respect of equity  securities of U.S. issuers is normally
eligible for the dividends received  deduction for corporations  subject to U.S.
federal income taxes.  Availability of the deduction for particular shareholders
is subject to certain  limitations,  and deducted  amounts may be subject to the
alternative  minimum  tax and  result in  certain  basis  adjustments.  Any Fund
dividend that is declared in October, November or December of any calendar year,
that is payable to shareholders of record in such a month,  and that is paid the
following January will be treated as if received by the shareholders on December
31 of the year in which the dividend is declared.

    Any Fund  distribution  will have the effect of  reducing  the per share net
asset  value  of  shares  in  the  Fund  by  the  amount  of  the  distribution.
Shareholders   purchasing   shares   shortly  before  the  record  date  of  any
distribution  may thus pay the full price for the  shares  and then  effectively
receive a portion of the purchase price back as a taxable distribution.

    In general,  any gain or loss realized upon a taxable  disposition of shares
of the Fund by a  shareholder  that holds such shares as a capital asset will be
treated as a  long-term  capital  gain or loss if the shares  have been held for
more than twelve  months and  otherwise  as a  short-term  capital gain or loss.
However, any loss realized upon a disposition of shares in the Fund held for six
months or less will be treated as a long-term  capital loss to the extent of any
distributions  of net capital gain made with respect to those  shares.  Any loss
realized  upon a  disposition  of  shares  may also be  disallowed  under  rules
relating  to  wash  sales.  Gain  may be  increased  (or  loss  reduced)  upon a
redemption of shares of the Fund within 90 days after their purchase followed by
any purchase  (including  purchases by exchange or by reinvestment) of shares of
the Fund or of another  Landmark Fund without  payment of any  additional  sales
charge.

    The Fund's  transactions in forward contracts will be subject to special tax
rules that may affect  the  amount,  timing  and  character  of Fund  income and
distributions to shareholders.  For example,  certain positions held by the Fund
on the last  business day of each  taxable year will be marked to market  (i.e.,
treated as if closed out) on that day, and any gain or loss  associated with the
positions  will be treated as 60% long-term and 40%  short-term  capital gain or
loss. Certain positions held by the Fund that substantially diminish its risk of
loss  with  respect  to  other   positions  in  its  portfolio  may   constitute
"straddles,"  and may be subject to special tax rules that would cause  deferral
of Fund  losses,  adjustments  in the holding  periods of Fund  securities,  and
conversion of short-term into long-term  capital  losses.  Certain tax elections
exist for  straddles  that may alter the effects of these  rules.  The Fund will
limit its  activities in forward  contracts to the extent  necessary to meet the
requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.

    Special tax considerations apply with respect to non-U.S. investments of the
Portfolio. Use of non-U.S. currencies for non-hedging purposes may be limited in
order to avoid a tax on the  Portfolio.  Investment  by the Portfolio in certain
"passive foreign  investment  companies" may also be limited in order to avoid a
tax on the Portfolio.  Investment income received by the Portfolio from non-U.S.
securities may be subject to non-U.S.  income taxes withheld at the source.  The
United States has entered into tax treaties with many other  countries  that may
entitle the Portfolio to a reduced rate of tax or an exemption  from tax on such
income.  The  Portfolio  intends  to  qualify  for treaty  reduced  rates  where
available.  It is not possible,  however, to determine the Portfolio's effective
rate of non-U.S. tax in advance since the amount of the Portfolio's assets to be
invested within various countries is not known.

    If the  Fund  holds  more  than  50% of its  assets  in  foreign  stock  and
securities  at the  close of its  taxable  year,  the  Fund  may  elect to "pass
through" to the Fund's  shareholders  foreign  income taxes paid. If the Fund so
elects,  shareholders  will be required  to treat their pro rata  portion of the
foreign income taxes paid by the Fund as part of the amount  distributed to them
by the Fund and thus  includable  in their gross  income for federal  income tax
purposes.  Shareholders who itemize  deductions would then be allowed to claim a
deduction or credit (but not both) on their federal  income tax returns for such
amount,  subject  to  certain  limitations.  Shareholders  who  do  not  itemize
deductions would (subject to such limitations) be able to claim a credit but not
a deduction.  No deduction will be permitted to  individuals in computing  their
alternative  minimum  tax  liability.  If the Fund does not  qualify to elect to
"pass  through"  to the Fund's  shareholders  foreign  income  taxes paid by it,
shareholders  will not be able to claim any  deduction or credit for any part of
their foreign taxes paid by the Fund.  For purposes of the preceding  discussion
the Fund  believes  that it will be  treated  as owning a pro rata  share of the
assets of the Portfolio and as having paid a pro rata share of the foreign taxes
paid by the Portfolio.

              9. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    Price Waterhouse LLP are the independent  certified  public  accountants for
the Fund,  providing audit services and assistance and consultation with respect
to the preparation of filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Price
Waterhouse are the chartered  accountants  for the Portfolio  Trust.  Deloitte &
Touche  LLP were  the  independent  certified  public  accountants  for the Fund
through  December 31, 1993.  The selection of Price  Waterhouse LLP was based on
management's  decision  with respect to certain  areas of expertise  and service
capabilities.  There was no disagreement  between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche
LLP with respect to the accounting and audit services provided by such firm.
