Fund at a Glance

          This summary briefly describes CitiFunds International Growth
          Portfolio and the principal risks of investing in it. Please
          note that the Fund invests in securities through an underlying
          mutual fund. For more information about the Fund's investment
          strategies, risks and investment structure, see MORE ABOUT THE
          FUND on page 29.
    

CitiFunds(SM)
International Growth Portfolio

   
          FUND GOAL
    

          The Fund's goal is to provide long-term capital growth.
          Dividend income, if any, is incidental to this goal. Of
          course, there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its
          goal.

          MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

   
          CitiFunds International Growth Portfolio invests primarily in
          the common stocks of foreign companies that the Fund's
          portfolio managers believe have above-average prospects for
          growth, including companies in developing countries. In
          managing the Fund, Citibank looks for well-established
          companies with medium to large capitalizations (typically $750
          million or more), superior management teams and histories of
          above-average revenues and earnings growth. Citibank seeks
          opportunities to invest in foreign economies that Citibank
          believes are growing faster than the U.S. economy.

          In addition to common stocks, the Fund may also invest in
          other equity securities including rights to purchase common
          stocks as well as securities having characteristics of common
          stocks. Generally, the Fund invests in a number of different
          countries and, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at
          least 65% of its assets in equity securities of companies in
          at least three foreign markets. The Fund also may, but is not
          required to, invest in other foreign securities including
          fixed income and convertible securities. The Fund usually
          invests in securities listed on securities exchanges.

          The Fund may, but is not required to, enter into forward
          currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of
          foreign currency for hedging purposes. A currency exchange
          contract allows the Fund to fix a definite price in dollars
          for securities of foreign issuers that the Fund buys and
          sells. The Fund's ability to use forward currency exchange
          contracts successfully depends on a number of factors,
          including the contracts being available at prices that are not
          too costly, the availability of liquid markets, and Citibank
          accurately predicting movements in currency exchange rates.
    

          MAIN RISKS

   
          As with all mutual funds, you may lose money if you invest in
          this Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are
          described below. See page 33 for more information about risks.
    

            o MARKET RISK. This is the risk that the prices of securities will
              rise or fall due to changing economic, political or market
              conditions, or due to a company's individual situation. The value
              of the Fund's shares will change daily as the value of its
              underlying securities changes. This means that your shares of the
              Fund may be worth more or less when you sell them than when you
              bought them.

            o FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investments in foreign securities involve
              risks relating to adverse political, social and economic
              developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the
              differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign
              issuers and markets are subject. These risks may include
              expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, withholding taxes
              on dividends and interest paid on Fund investments, fluctuations
              in currency exchange rates, currency exchange controls and other
              limitations on the use or transfer of assets by the Fund or
              issuers of securities, and political or social instability. There
              may be rapid changes in the value of foreign currencies or
              securities, causing the Fund's share price to be volatile. Also,
              in certain circumstances, the Fund could realize reduced or no
              value in U.S. dollars from its investments in foreign securities,
              causing the Fund's share price to go down.

              The Fund may invest in issuers located in emerging, or developing,
              markets. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are
              heightened by investing in these markets.

            o EQUITY SECURITIES. Equity securities are subject to market risk
              that historically has resulted in greater price volatility than
              exhibited by fixed income securities.

            o GROWTH SECURITIES. Growth securities typically are quite sensitive
              to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect
              future expectations. When it appears those expectations will not
              be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. The
              success of the Fund's investment strategy depends largely on
              Citibank's skill in assessing the growth potential of companies in
              which the Fund invests. In addition, the Fund may underperform
              certain other international stock funds during periods when growth
              stocks are out of favor.

   
            o INTEREST RATE RISK. In general, the prices of debt securities rise
              when interest rates fall, and fall when interest rates rise.
              Longer term obligations are usually more sensitive to interest
              rate changes. If the Fund invests in debt securities, a change in
              interest rates could cause the Fund's share price to go down.
    

            o CREDIT RISK. Some issuers may not make payments on debt securities
              held by the Fund, causing a loss. Or, an issuer's financial
              condition may deteriorate, lowering the credit quality of a
              security and leading to greater volatility in the price of the
              security and in shares of the Fund. If the credit quality of a
              security deteriorates below investment grade, the Fund may
              continue to hold this security, commonly known as a junk bond. The
              prices of lower rated securities, especially junk bonds, often are
              more volatile than those of higher rated securities.

   
            o CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. Convertible securities, which are debt
              securities or preferred stock that may be converted into common
              stock, are subject to the market risk of stocks, and, like debt
              securities, are also subject to interest rate risk and the credit
              risk of their issuers.

            o CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS. The Fund may use forward foreign
              currency exchange contracts to hedge against adverse rate changes.
              The Fund's use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts may
              prevent the Fund from realizing profits on favorable movements in
              exchange rates. The Fund's ability to use currency exchange
              contracts successfully depends on a number of factors, including
              the ability of the Fund's portfolio managers to accurately predict
              the direction of changes in currency exchange rates. If these
              predictions are wrong, the Fund could suffer greater losses than
              if the Fund had not entered into the foreign currency exchange
              contracts.
    

          Please note that an investment in the Fund is not a deposit of
          Citibank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
          Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

          WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST

   
          You should keep in mind that an investment in CitiFunds
          International Growth Portfolio is not a complete investment
          program.

          You should consider investing in CitiFunds International
          Growth Portfolio if:
    

            o You want to direct a portion of your overall investment portfolio
              to securities of non-U.S. companies.

            o Your investment horizon is longer term -- typically at least five
              years.

   
          Don't invest in CitiFunds International Growth Portfolio if:

            o You are not prepared to accept the additional risks of
              international investing including currency, political, social and
              economic risks.

            o You are not prepared to accept significant fluctuations in share
              price and possible losses.
    

            o You are seeking current income.

            o Your investment horizon is shorter term (less than five years).

Fund Performance

   
          The following bar chart and table can help you evaluate the
          risks of investing in the Fund, and how its returns have
          varied over time.
    

            o The bar chart shows changes in the Fund's performance from year to
              year over the last seven calendar years. The chart and related
              information do not take into account any sales charges that you
              may be required to pay. Any sales charges will reduce your return.

   
            o The table compares the Fund's average annual returns for the
              periods indicated to those of a broad measure of market
              performance. Please remember that, unlike the Fund, the market
              index does not include the costs of buying and selling securities
              and other Fund expenses or sales charges.
    

            o In both the chart and table, the returns shown for the Fund are
              for periods before the creation of share classes on January 4,
              1999. All existing Fund shares were designated Class A shares on
              that date. Prior to that date, there were no sales charges on the
              purchase or sale of Fund shares. The returns for Class A in the
              table, but not the bar chart, have been adjusted to reflect the
              maximum front-end sales charge currently applicable to the Class A
              shares.

            o The Class B shares are newly offered commencing January 4, 1999.
              Class B performance would have been lower than that shown for
              Class A shares, because of higher fund expenses and the effects of
              the contingent deferred sales charge.

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

          EXAMPLE

          This example is intended to help you compare the cost of
          investing in the Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual
          funds. The example assumes that:

            o you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated;

            o you pay the maximum applicable sales charge;

            o you reinvest all dividends; and

            o you then sell all your shares at the end of those periods, if you
              own Class A shares.

   
          If you own Class B shares, two numbers are given, one showing
          your expenses if you sold (redeemed) all your shares at the
          end of each time period and one if you held onto your shares.
          The example also shows the effects of the conversion of Class
          B shares to Class A shares after 8 years.

          The example also assumes that:

            o each investment has a 5% return each year--the assumption of a 5%
              return is required by the SEC for the purpose of this example and
              is not a prediction of the Fund's future performance; and

            o the Fund's operating expenses shown in the Fund Fees and Expenses
              table remain the same before taking into consideration any fee
              waivers or reimbursements.
    

   
          Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
          these assumptions your costs would be:

          CHOOSING A SHARE CLASS

          The Fund offers two share classes, Class A and Class B. Each
          class has its own sales charge and expense structure. Please
          read the information below carefully to help you decide which
          share class is best for you.

   
          CLASS A AT A GLANCE
    

            o Front-end load--there is an initial sales charge of 5.00% or less

            o Lower sales charge rates for larger investments

   
            o Annual distribution/service fee of up to 0.10%, currently being
              waived on a voluntary basis

            o Annual fee of up to 0.05% for certain advertising costs currently
              not being paid

            o Lower annual expenses than Class B shares
    

          CLASS B AT A GLANCE

            o No initial sales charge

            o The deferred sales charge declines from 5% to 1% over five years,
              and is eliminated if you hold your shares for six years or more

            o Annual distribution/service fee of up to 1.00%

            o Automatic conversion to Class A shares after 8 years

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          WHAT ARE DISTRIBUTION/SERVICE FEES?

   
          Both Class A and Class B shares have annual DISTRIBUTION/
          SERVICE FEES that are paid under a 12B-1
          PLAN. These are fees, also called 12B-1 FEES, that are
          deducted from Fund assets and are used to compensate those
          financial professionals who sell fund shares and provide
          ongoing services to shareholders and to pay other marketing
          and advertising expenses. Because you pay these fees during
          the whole period that you own the shares, over time you may
          pay more than if you had paid other types of sales charges.
          For this reason, you should consider the effects of 12b-1 fees
          as well as sales loads when choosing a share class.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          SALES CHARGES -- CLASS A SHARES
    

            o Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus a front- end, or
              initial, sales charge. The rate you pay goes down as the amount of
              your investment in Class A shares goes up. The chart below shows
              the rate of sales charge that you pay, depending on the amount
              that you purchase.

   
            o The chart below also shows the amount of broker/ dealer
              compensation that is paid out of the sales charge. This
              compensation includes commissions and other fees that financial
              professionals, called Shareholder Servicing Agents, who sell
              shares of the Fund receive. The distributor generally keeps up to
              approximately 10% of the sales charge imposed on Class A shares.
              Shareholder Servicing Agents that sell Class A shares will also
              receive the shareholder servicing fee payable on Class A shares at
              an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets
              represented by the Class A shares sold by them.

*A contingent deferred sales charge may apply in certain instances. See below.

            o After the initial sales charge is deducted from your investment,
              the balance of your investment is invested in the Fund.

            o The sales charge may also be waived or reduced in certain
              circumstances, as described in "Sales Charge Waivers or
              Reductions" below. If you qualify to purchase Class A shares
              without a sales load, you should purchase Class A shares rather
              than Class B shares because Class A shares pay lower fees.

            o If you invest at least $500,000 in the Fund, you do not pay any
              initial sales charge. However, you may be charged a contingent
              deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% of the purchase price, or the
              sale price, whichever is less, if you sell within the first year.
              Under certain circumstances, waivers may apply. Other policies
              regarding the application of the CDSC are the same as for Class B
              shares. Please read the discussion below on Class B shares for
              more information.

   
          PLEASE NOTE: If you owned Fund shares prior to January 4,
          1999, you may exchange those shares into Class A shares of
          other CitiFunds and other mutual funds managed by Citibank
          without paying any sales charge, subject to verification.
          Shares subject to the waiver include shares purchased prior to
          January 4, 1999, and any shares that represent capital
          appreciation or the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains
          distributions on those shares.
    

          SALES CHARGES -- CLASS B SHARES

   
            o Class B shares are sold without a front-end, or initial, sales
              charge, but you are charged a contingent deferred sales charge
              (CDSC) when you sell shares within five years of purchase. The
              rate of CDSC goes down the longer you hold your shares. The table
              below shows the rates that you pay, as a percentage of your
              original purchase price (or the sale price, whichever is less),
              depending upon when you sell your shares.

            o Financial professionals, called Shareholder Servicing Agents,
              generally receive a commission of 4.50% of the purchase price of
              the Class B shares that they sell, except for sales exempt from
              the CDSC. Shareholder Servicing Agents also receive a service fee
              at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets
              represented by the Class B shares that they have sold.

            o When you sell your shares, the CDSC will be based on either your
              original purchase price, or the sale price, whichever is less.
    

            o You do not pay a CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of
              dividends and capital gain distributions or on shares representing
              capital appreciation.
   

            o To ensure that you pay the lowest CDSC possible, the Fund will
              always use the Class B shares with the lowest CDSC to fill your
              sell requests.

            o You do not pay a CDSC at the time you exchange your Class B shares
              for Class B shares of certain CitiFunds--any payment will be
              deferred until your Class B shares are redeemed.
    

            o If you acquired your Class B shares through an exchange from
              another fund managed or advised by Citibank, the date of your
              initial investment will be used as the basis of the CDSC
              calculations. If the rate of CDSC on the shares exchanged was
              higher than the rate of CDSC on your Fund shares, you will be
              charged the higher rate when you sell your Fund shares.

   
From time to time, the Fund's distributor or Citibank may provide additional
promotional bonuses, incentives or payments to dealers that sell shares of the
Fund. These may include payments for travel expenses, including lodging,
incurred in connection with trips taken by invited registered representatives
and their guests to locations within and outside the United States for
meetings or seminars of a business nature. In some instances, these bonuses,
incentives or payments may be offered only to dealers who have sold or may
sell significant amounts of shares. Certain dealers may not sell all classes
of shares.
    

The Fund's distributor may make payments for distribution and/or shareholder
servicing activities out of its past profits and other available sources. The
distributor may also make payments for marketing, promotional or related
expenses to dealers. The amount of these payments are determined by the
distributor and may vary. Citibank may make similar payments under similar
arrangements.

SALES CHARGE WAIVERS OR
REDUCTIONS

You may reduce or eliminate your sales charge on shares if you qualify for
certain waivers or elect to participate in certain programs. These include:

Front-End Loads

  o Sales charge elimination for certain eligible purchasers, including certain
    tax-exempt organizations, certain employee benefit plans, certain entities
    or persons with a qualifying affiliation or relationship with Citibank, and,
    under certain circumstances, investors using the proceeds of a redemption
    from another mutual fund for their purchase of Class A shares. Further
    information about eligible purchasers may be found in the Appendix to this
    prospectus.

  o Reduced sales charge plan for qualified groups.

  o Right of Accumulation.

  o Letter of Intent.

CDSC

  o Redemptions made within one year of the death of the shareholder.

  o Lump sum or other distributions from IRAs and certain other retirement
    accounts.

  o Redemptions made under the Fund's Systematic Withdrawal Plan.

You may learn more about the requirements for waiver or reduction and how the
programs work by requesting a copy of the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information, or by consulting with your account representative.

AUTOMATIC CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES

Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight
years after purchase. If you acquired your shares through an exchange, the
date of your initial investment will be used to determine your conversion
date. You will receive the same dollar amount of Class A shares as the Class B
shares converted. The price of Class A shares may be higher than Class B
shares at the time of conversion, because of the lower expenses of Class A
shares. Therefore, you may receive fewer Class A shares than the number of
Class B shares converted.

   
HOW TO BUY SHARES

Shares of CitiFunds International Growth Portfolio are offered continuously
and purchases may be made Monday through Friday, except on certain holidays.
Shares may be purchased from the Fund's distributor or a broker-dealer or
financial institution (called a Shareholder Servicing Agent) that has entered
into a shareholder servicing agreement with the distributor concerning the
Fund. Please specify whether you are purchasing Class A or Class B shares. If
you fail to so specify, Class A shares will be purchased for your account. The
Fund and the distributor have the right to reject any purchase order or cease
offering Fund shares at any time.
    

Shares are purchased at net asset value (NAV) the next time it is calculated
after your order is received and accepted by the Fund's transfer agent. NAV is
the value of a single share of the Fund. If you are purchasing Class A shares,
the applicable sales charge will be added to the cost of your shares.

Your Shareholder Servicing Agent will not transmit your purchase order for
Fund shares until it receives the purchase price in federal or other
immediately available funds. If you pay by check, the Shareholder Servicing
Agent transmits the order when the check clears, usually within two business
days.

Your Shareholder Servicing Agent establishes and maintains your account and is
the shareholder of record. If you wish to transfer your account, you may only
transfer it to another financial institution that acts as a Shareholder
Servicing Agent for the Fund.

HOW THE PRICE OF YOUR SHARES IS CALCULATED

The Fund calculates its NAV every day the New York Stock Exchange is open for
trading. This calculation is made at the close of regular trading on the New
York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. NAV is calculated
separately for each class of shares. NAV may be higher for Class A shares
because Class A shares bear lower expenses. On days when the financial markets
in which the Fund invests close early, NAV will be calculated as of the close
of those markets.

   
The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations.
When market quotations are not readily available, the Fund may price
securities at fair value. Fair value is determined in accordance with
procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. When the Fund uses the
fair value pricing method, a security may be priced higher or lower than if
the Fund had used a market quotation to price the same security.

For foreign securities the values are translated from the local currency into
U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. If trading in the currency is
restricted, the Fund uses a rate believed to reflect the currency's fair value
in U.S. dollars. Trading may take place in foreign securities held by the Fund
on days when the Fund is not open for business. As a result, the Fund's NAV
may change on days on which it is not possible to purchase or sell shares of
the Fund. If events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur
between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the
time when the Fund's net asset value is calculated, the securities may be
valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under
the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
    

HOW TO SELL SHARES

You may sell (redeem) your shares on any business day. The price will be the
NAV the next time it is calculated after your redemption request in proper
form has been received by the Fund's transfer agent. If your shares are
subject to a CDSC, the applicable charge will be deducted from your sale
proceeds.

You may make redemption requests in writing through your Shareholder Servicing
Agent. If your account application permits, you may also make redemption
requests by calling your Shareholder Servicing Agent. Each Shareholder
Servicing Agent is responsible for promptly submitting redemption requests to
the Fund's transfer agent. You are responsible for making sure your redemption
request is in proper form.

   
The Fund has a Systematic Withdrawal Plan which allows you to automatically
withdraw a specific dollar amount from your account on a regular basis. You
must have at least $10,000 in your account to participate in this program.
Under the Plan, if your shares are subject to a CDSC, you may only withdraw up
to 10% of the value of your account in any year, but you will not be subject
to the CDSC on the shares withdrawn under the Plan. For more information,
please contact your Shareholder Servicing Agent.
    

If you own both Class A and Class B shares, and want to sell shares, you
should specify which class of shares you wish to sell. If you fail to specify,
Class A shares will be redeemed first.

When you sell your Class B shares, they will be redeemed so as to minimize
your CDSC. Shares on which the CDSC is not payable, i.e.

  o shares representing capital appreciation and

  o shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain
    distributions

will be sold first followed by

  o shares held for the longest period of time.

You will receive your redemption proceeds in federal funds normally on the
business day after you sell your shares but generally within seven days. Your
redemption proceeds may be delayed for up to ten days if your purchase was
made by check. Your redemption proceeds may also be delayed, or your right to
receive redemption proceeds suspended, if the New York Stock Exchange is
closed (other than on weekends or holidays) or trading is restricted, or if an
emergency exists. The Fund has the right to pay your redemption proceeds by
giving you securities instead of cash. In that case, you may incur costs (such
as brokerage commissions) converting the securities into cash. You should be
aware that you may have to pay taxes on your redemption proceeds.

REINSTATING RECENTLY SOLD SHARES

For 90 days after you sell your Class A shares, the Fund permits you to
repurchase Class A shares in the Fund, up to the dollar amount of shares
redeemed, without paying any sales charges. To take advantage of this
reinstatement privilege, you must notify your Shareholder Servicing Agent in
writing at the time you wish to repurchase the shares.

EXCHANGES

You may exchange Fund shares for shares of the same class of certain other
CitiFunds. You may also be able to exchange your Class A shares for shares of
certain CitiFunds that offer only a single class of shares, unless your Class
A shares are subject to a CDSC. You may not exchange Class B shares for shares
of CitiFunds that offer only a single class of shares. You may also acquire
Fund shares through an exchange from another fund managed by Citibank.

You may place exchange orders through your Shareholder Servicing Agent. You
may place exchange orders by telephone if your account application permits.
Your Shareholder Servicing Agent can provide you with more information,
including a prospectus for any fund that may be acquired through an exchange.

The exchange will be based on the relative NAVs of both funds when they are
next determined after your order is accepted by the Fund's transfer agent,
subject to any applicable sales charge. You cannot exchange shares until the
Fund has received payment in federal funds for your shares.

When you exchange your Class A shares, you will generally be required to pay
the difference, if any, between the sales charge payable on the shares to be
acquired in the exchange and the sales charge paid in connection with your
original purchase of Class A shares. However, if your Class A shares were
purchased prior to January 4, 1999, you will not have to pay a sales charge
when you exchange those shares for Class A shares, subject to confirmation
through a check of appropriate records and documentation.

When you exchange your Class B shares, you will not pay any initial sales
charge, and no CDSC is imposed when your Class B shares are exchanged for
Class B shares of certain other CitiFunds that are made available by your
Shareholder Servicing Agent. However, you may be required to pay a CDSC when
you sell those shares. The length of time that you owned Fund shares will be
included in the holding period of your new Class B shares.

The exchange privilege may be changed or terminated at any time. You should be
aware that you may have to pay taxes on your exchange.

DIVIDENDS

The Fund pays substantially all of its net income (if any) from dividends 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 Fund shareholders semi-annually. The Fund may also make
additional distributions to 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.
    

Unless you choose to receive your dividends in cash, you will receive them as
full and fractional additional Fund shares.

TAX MATTERS

This discussion of taxes is for general information only. You should consult
your own tax adviser about your particular situation, and the status of your
account under state and local laws.

TAXATION OF FUND. As long as the Fund qualifies for treatment as a regulated
investment company (which it has in the past and intends to do in the future),
it pays no federal income tax on the earnings it distributes to shareholders.
The Fund may pay taxes to non-U.S. governments in connection with its foreign
investments. To the extent the Fund does pay foreign taxes, for federal income
tax purposes shareholders may be able to claim an itemized deduction, or a tax
credit, for their portion of such taxes after recognizing a deemed
distribution equal to their portion of such taxes.

TAXABILITY OF DISTRIBUTIONS. You will normally have to pay federal income
taxes on the distributions you receive from the Fund, whether you take the
distributions in cash or reinvest them in additional shares. Distributions
designated by the Fund as capital gain dividends are taxable as long-term
capital gains. Other distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income.
Some distributions paid in January may be taxable to you as if they had been
paid the previous December. The IRS Form 1099 that is mailed to you every
January details your distributions for the prior year and how they are treated
for federal tax purposes.

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

BACKUP WITHHOLDING. The account application asks each new investor to certify
that the investor's Social Security or taxpayer identification number is
correct and that the shareholder is not subject to 31% backup withholding for
failing to report income to the IRS. The Fund may be required to withhold (and
pay over to the IRS for your credit) 31% of certain distributions and proceeds
it pays you if you fail to provide this information or otherwise violate IRS
regulations.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS. If you are not a citizen or resident of the U.S., the
Fund will withhold U.S. federal income tax payments at the rate of 30% (or any
lower applicable treaty rate) on taxable dividends and other payments subject
to withholding taxes that are made to persons who are not citizens or
residents of the United States. Fund distributions received by non-U.S.
persons also may be subject to tax under the laws of their own jurisdictions.

   
TAXABILITY OF TRANSACTIONS. Any time you sell or exchange shares, it is
considered a taxable event for you. Depending on the purchase price and the
sale price of the shares you sell or exchange, you may have a gain or a loss
on the transaction. You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by
your transaction.

Management of the Fund
    

          INVESTMENT ADVISER

   
          CitiFunds International Growth Portfolio draws on the strength
          and experience of Citibank. Citibank is the investment adviser
          of the Fund, and subject to policies set by the Fund's
          Trustees, Citibank makes investment decisions. Citibank has
          been managing money since 1822. With its affiliates, it
          currently manages more than $327 billion in assets worldwide.

          Citibank, with headquarters at 153 East 53rd Street, New York,
          New York, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.
          Citigroup Inc. was formed as a result of the merger of
          Citicorp and Travelers Group, Inc., which was completed on
          October 8, 1998. "CitiFunds" is a service mark of Citicorp.

          Citibank and its affiliates may have banking and investment
          banking relationships with the issuers of securities that are
          held in the Fund. However, in making investment decisions for
          the Fund, Citibank does not obtain or use material inside
          information acquired by any division, department or affiliate
          of Citibank in the course of those relationships. Citibank and
          its affiliates may have loans out-
          standing that are repaid with proceeds of securities purchased
          by the Fund.
    

          Matthew Bowyer, a Vice President of Citibank, has managed the
          Fund since February 1999. Mr. Bowyer is a Senior Portfolio
          Manager and Cross Border Equity Strategist who has been
          responsible for managing global equity and balanced portfolios
          at Citibank since mid 1996. Prior to that he ran a
          quantitative research group, providing portfolio and market
          analysis to Citibank's equity and fixed income teams in
          London. Prior to joining Citibank in 1985, Mr. Bowyer was a
          senior analyst with National Economic Research Associates, a
          consulting firm.

          ADVISORY FEES

          For the investment advisory services Citibank provided to the
          Fund and its underlying mutual fund during the fiscal year
          ended December 31, 1998, Citibank received a total of 1.00% of
          the Fund's average daily net assets.

                                                             MORE ABOUT THE FUND

More About the Fund

   
          The Fund's goal, principal investments and risks are
          summarized in FUND AT A GLANCE. More information on
          investments, investment strategies and risks appears below.
    

          PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

          The Fund's principal investment strategies are the strategies
          that, in the opinion of Citibank, are most likely to achieve
          the Fund's investment goal. Of course, there can be no
          assurance that the Fund will achieve its goal. Please note
          that the Fund may also use strategies and invest in securities
          that are not described below but that are described in the
          Statement of Additional Information. Of course, the Fund's
          portfolio managers may decide, as a matter of investment
          strategy, not to use the investments and investment techniques
          described below and in the Statement of Additional Information
          at any particular time. The Fund's goal and strategies may be
          changed without shareholder approval.

   
          CitiFunds International Growth Portfolio invests primarily in
          the common stocks of foreign companies that the Fund's
          portfolio managers believe have above-average prospects for
          growth, including companies in developing countries. In
          managing the Fund, Citibank looks for well-established
          companies with medium to large capitalizations (typically $750
          million or more), superior management teams and histories of
          above-average revenues and earnings growth. Citibank seeks
          opportunities to invest in foreign economies that are growing
          faster than the U.S. economy.

          In addition to common stocks, the Fund may invest in other
          equity securities including rights to purchase common stocks
          as well as securities with common stock characteristics, such
          as securities convertible into common stock, trust or limited
          partnership interests, and depositary receipts (receipts which
          represent the right to receive the securities of foreign
          issuers deposited in a U.S. bank or a local branch of a
          foreign bank). Generally, the Fund invests in a number of
          different countries and under normal circumstances, the Fund
          invests at least 65% of its assets in equity securities of
          companies in at least three foreign markets. The Fund may
          invest in preferred stock or warrants, and also, to a limited
          extent, purchase shares in other investment companies,
          including closed end investment companies that invest in
          foreign securities.

          The Fund may, but is not required to, buy debt securities of
          foreign issuers. Long-term debt securities must be investment
          grade at the time of purchase, meaning they are rated at least
          Baa by Moody's or BBB by Standard & Poor's or, if unrated, of
          comparable quality in the portfolio managers' opinion. After
          the Fund buys a bond, it may be given a lower rating or stop
          being rated. This would not require the Fund to sell the
          security, but the portfolio managers will consider the change
          in rating in deciding whether to keep the security.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          WHAT ARE EQUITY SECURITIES?

          EQUITY SECURITIES generally represent an ownership interest
          (or a right to acquire an ownership interest) in an issuer,
          and include COMMON STOCKS, SECURITIES CONVERTIBLE INTO COMMON
          STOCKS, PREFERRED STOCKS, WARRANTS for the purchase of stock
          and DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS (receipts which represent the right to
          receive the securities of foreign issuers deposited in a U.S.
          bank or a local branch of a foreign bank). While equity
          securities historically have been more volatile than fixed
          income securities, they historically have produced higher
          levels of total return.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          The Fund generally invests in securities that are sold on
          securities exchanges, although it may also purchase securities
          which are not registered for sale to the general public, or,
          to a limited extent, securities that are not readily
          marketable.
    

          The Fund may hold cash pending investment, and may invest in
          money market instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse
          repurchase agreements for cash management purposes. The Fund
          may also lend its portfolio securities or sell its securities
          short, as long as, in the case of a short sale, the Fund owns,
          or has the right to obtain, the securities being sold short.

          The Fund may, but is not required to, enter into forward
          currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of
          foreign currency for hedging purposes. A currency exchange
          contract allows the Fund to fix a definite price in dollars
          for securities of non-U.S. issuers that the Fund buys and
          sells.

   
          DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES. The Fund may, from time to time, take
          temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the
          Fund's principal investment strategies in attempting to
          respond to adverse market, political or other conditions. When
          doing so, the Fund may invest without limit in high quality
          U.S. money market and other short-term instruments, and may
          not be pursuing its investment goal.

          INVESTMENT STRUCTURE. The Fund does not invest directly in
          securities but instead invests through an underlying mutual
          fund, International Equity Portfolio, having the same
          investment goals and strategies as the Fund. International
          Equity Portfolio buys, holds and sells securities in
          accordance with these goals and strategies. The Fund may stop
          investing in its underlying mutual fund at any time, and will
          do so if the Fund's Trustees believe that to be in the best
          interests of the Fund's shareholders. The Fund could then
          invest in another mutual fund or pooled investment vehicle or
          invest directly in securities.

          MANAGEMENT STYLE. Managers of mutual funds use different
          styles when selecting securities to purchase and to sell.
          Citibank's portfolio managers seek to add value primarily
          through selection of companies believed to be reasonably
          valued compared to their long-term earnings potential. The
          Fund's managers use fundamental analysis to find companies
          that they believe have growth potential, and look first at a
          particular company and then at the country in which the
          company is located and the industry in which the company
          participates. The managers eliminate stocks that they believe
          are overpriced relative to a company's financial statements
          and projections. The managers then analyze each company to
          find those believed to have good management, solid product
          lines, strong competitive positioning and attractive cash
          flows. The portfolio managers use this same approach when
          deciding which securities to sell. Securities are sold when
          the Fund needs cash to meet redemptions, or when the managers
          believe that better opportunities exist or that the security
          no longer fits within the managers' overall strategies for
          achieving the Fund's goals. For information about the
          portfolio managers, see "Investment Adviser" on page 27.

          The Fund is actively managed. Although the portfolio managers
          attempt to minimize portfolio turnover, from time to time the
          Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate may exceed 100%. The
          sale of securities may produce capital gains, which, when
          distributed, are taxable to investors. Active trading may also
          increase the amount of commissions or mark-ups the Fund pays
          to brokers or dealers when it buys and sells securities. The
          "Financial Highlights" section of this prospectus shows the
          Fund's historical portfolio turnover rate.
    

          Citibank may use brokers or dealers for Fund transactions who
          also provide brokerage and research services to the Fund or
          other accounts over which Citibank or its affiliates exercise
          investment discretion. The Fund may "pay up" for brokerage
          services, meaning that it is authorized to pay a broker or
          dealer who provides these brokerage and research services a
          commission for executing a portfolio transaction which is
          higher than the commission another broker or dealer would have
          charged. However, the Fund will "pay up" only if Citibank
          determines in good faith that the higher commission is
          reasonable in relation to the brokerage and research services
          provided, viewed in terms of either the particular transaction
          or all of the accounts over which Citibank exercises
          investment discretion.

          RISKS

          Investing in a mutual fund involves risk. Before investing,
          you should consider the risks you will assume. Certain of
          these risks are described below. More information about risks
          appears in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.
          Remember that you may receive little or no return on your
          investment in the Fund. You may lose money if you invest in
          this Fund.

          Please remember that an investment in the Fund is not a
          deposit of Citibank and is not insured or guaranteed by the
          Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
          agency.

          MARKET RISK. This is the risk that the prices of securities
          will rise or fall due to changing economic, political or
          market conditions, or due to a company's individual situation.
          The value of the Fund's shares will change daily as the value
          of its underlying securities change. This means that your
          shares of the Fund may be worth more or less when you sell
          them than when you bought them.

          FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investments in foreign securities involve
          risks relating to adverse political, social and economic
          developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the
          differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign
          issuers and markets are subject.

            o These risks may include expropriation of assets, confiscatory
              taxation, withholding taxes on dividends and interest paid on Fund
              investments, currency exchange controls and other limitations on
              the use or transfer of Fund assets and political or social
              instability.

            o Foreign 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.

   
            o Foreign markets may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S.
              markets. Rapid increases in money supply may result in speculative
              investing, contributing to volatility. Also, equity securities may
              trade at price-earnings multiples that are higher than those of
              comparable U.S. companies, and that may not be sustainable. As a
              result, there may be rapid changes in the value of foreign
              securities.
    

            o Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors. Enforcing
              legal rights may be difficult, costly and slow. There may be
              special problems enforcing claims against foreign governments.

            o Since foreign securities often trade 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.
              An increase in the U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies
              will adversely affect the value of the Fund. In addition, some
              foreign currency values may be volatile and there is the
              possibility of governmental controls on currency exchanges or
              governmental intervention in currency markets. Controls or
              intervention could limit or prevent the Fund from realizing value
              in U.S. dollars from its investment in foreign securities.

            o The Fund may invest in issuers located in emerging, or developing,
              markets.

   
               o  Emerging or developing countries are generally defined as
                  countries in the initial stages of their industrialization
                  cycles with low per capita income.

               o  All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are
                  heightened by investing in developing countries.

               o  The markets of developing countries have been more volatile
                  than the markets of developed countries with more mature
                  economies.
    

          EQUITY SECURITIES. Equity securities are subject to market
          risk that historically has resulted in greater price
          volatility than exhibited by fixed income securities.

          GROWTH SECURITIES. Growth securities typically are quite
          sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend
          to reflect future expectations. When it appears those
          expectations will not be met, the prices of growth securities
          typically fall. The success of the Fund's investment strategy
          depends largely on Citibank's skill in assessing the growth
          potential of companies in which the Fund invests. In addition,
          the Fund may underperform certain other international stock
          funds during periods when growth stocks are out of favor.

   
          INTEREST RATE RISK. In general, the prices of debt securities
          rise when interest rates fall, and fall when interest rates
          rise. Longer term obligations are usually more sensitive to
          interest rate changes. If the Fund invests in debt securities,
          a change in interest rates could cause the Fund's share price
          to go down.

          CREDIT RISK. The Fund may invest in investment grade debt
          securities. It is possible that some issuers will not make
          payments on debt securities held by the Fund, causing a loss.
          Or, an issuer may suffer adverse changes in its financial
          condition that could lower the credit quality of a security,
          leading to greater volatility in the price of the security and
          in shares of the Fund. If the credit quality of a security
          deteriorates below investment grade, the Fund may continue to
          hold this security, commonly known as a junk bond. The prices
          of lower rated securities, especially junk bonds, often are
          more volatile than those of higher rated securities. A change
          in the quality rating of a bond or other security can also
          affect the security's liquidity and make it more difficult for
          the Fund to sell. The lower quality debt securities in which
          the Fund may invest are more susceptible to these problems
          than higher quality obligations.

          CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. Convertible securities, which are debt
          securities or preferred stock that may be converted into
          common stock, are subject to the market risk of stocks, and,
          like debt securities, are also subject to interest rate risk
          and the credit risk of their issuers. Call provisions may
          allow the issuer to repay the debt before it matures.

          CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS. The Fund may use forward foreign
          currency exchange contracts to hedge against adverse rate
          changes. The Fund's use of forward foreign currency exchange
          contracts may prevent the Fund from realizing profits on
          favorable movements in exchange rates. The Fund's ability to
          use currency exchange contracts successfully depends on a
          number of factors, including the ability of the Fund's
          portfolio managers to accurately predict the direction of
          changes in currency exchange rates. If these predictions are
          wrong, the Fund could suffer greater losses than if the Fund
          had not entered into the foreign currency exchange contracts.
          In addition, the Fund could suffer losses if a counterparty to
          a contract does not perform its obligations.
    

          EURO CONVERSION. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers
          in European countries. Certain European countries have joined
          the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Each EMU
          participant's currency began a conversion into a single
          European currency, called the euro, on January 1, 1999, to be
          completed by July 1, 2002. The consequences of the euro
          conversion for foreign exchange rates, interest rates and the
          value of European securities held by the Fund are presently
          unclear. European financial markets, and, therefore, the Fund,
          could be adversely affected if the euro conversion does not
          continue as planned or if a participating country chooses to
          withdraw from the EMU. The Fund could also be adversely
          affected if the computing, accounting and trading systems used
          by its service providers are not capable of processing
          transactions related to the euro. These issues may negatively
          affect the operations of the companies in which the Fund
          invests as well.

   
          YEAR 2000. The Fund could be adversely affected if the
          computer systems used by the Fund or its service providers are
          not programmed to accurately process information on or after
          January 1, 2000. The Fund, and its service providers, are
          making efforts to resolve any potential Year 2000 problems.
          While it is likely these efforts will be successful, the
          failure to implement any necessary modifications could have an
          adverse impact on the Fund. The Fund also could be adversely
          affected if the issuers of securities held by the Fund do not
          solve their Year 2000 problems, or if it costs them large
          amounts of money to solve these problems. Because the Fund
          invests in foreign securities, it may be particularly
          susceptible to these potential Year 2000 problems.

              [] accounts associated with Copeland Retirement Programs

              [] investors purchasing $500,000 or more of Class A shares;
                 however, a contingent deferred sales charge will be imposed on
                 the investments in the event of certain share redemptions
                 within 12 months following the share purchase, at the rate of
                 1% of the lesser of the value of the shares redeemed (not
                 including reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions)
                 or the total cost of the shares; 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; in determining whether a contingent
                 deferred sales charge on Class A shares is payable, and if so,
                 the amount of the charge:

                 o 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

                 o all investments made during a calendar month will age one
                   month on the last day of the month and each subsequent month

   
                 o any applicable contingent deferred sales charge will be
                   deferred upon an exchange of Class A shares for Class A
                   shares of another CitiFund and deducted from the redemption
                   proceeds when the exchanged shares are subsequently redeemed
                   (assuming the contingent deferred sales charge is then
                   payable)
    

                 o 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

   
              [] subject to appropriate documentation, investors where the
                 amount invested represents redemption proceeds from a mutual
                 fund (other than a CitiFund), if:
    

                 o the redeemed shares were subject to an initial sales charge
                   or a deferred sales charge (whether or not actually imposed),
                   and

                 o the redemption has occurred no more than 60 days prior to the
                   purchase of Class A shares of the Fund

              [] 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 CFBDS from
                 another investment firm within six months prior to the date of
                 purchase by the investor, if:

                 o 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

   
                 o the redemption is made within 60 days prior to the investment
                   in the Fund, and
    

                 o the net asset value of the shares of the Fund sold to that
                   investor without a sales charge does not exceed the proceeds
                   of the redemption

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

    Under the 1940 Act, a diversified management investment company 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 investment
company and not more than 10% of the voting securities of the issuer.

   
    Because the Fund invests through the Portfolio, all references in this
Statement of Additional Information to the Fund include the Portfolio, unless
the context otherwise requires. In addition, references to the Trust include
the Portfolio Trust, unless the context otherwise requires.
    

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

    CFBDS, Inc. ("CFBDS"), the administrator of the Fund (the
"Administrator"), and Signature Financial Group (Cayman) Ltd. ("SFG"), 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 Trust and the Portfolio Trust provide broad supervision
over the affairs of the Fund and the Portfolio, respectively. Shares of the
Fund are continuously sold by CFBDS, 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 Trust (collectively,
"Shareholder Servicing Agents").

                    2.  INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES;
             SPECIAL INFORMATION CONCERNING INVESTMENT STRUCTURE

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

    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.

    As noted above, the Fund does not invest directly in securities, but
instead invests all of its investable assets in the Portfolio, which has the
same investment objective and policies as the Fund. The Portfolio, in turn,
buys, holds and sells securities in accordance with this objective and these
policies. Of course, there can be no assurance that the Fund or the Portfolio
will achieve its objective. 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.

   
    The Trust may withdraw the investment of the Fund from the Portfolio at
any time if the Board of Trustees of the Trust determines that it is in the
best interests of the Fund to do so. Upon any such withdrawal, the Fund's
assets would continue to be invested in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, either directly in securities or in another mutual
fund or pooled investment vehicle having the same investment objective and
policies. If the Fund were to withdraw, the Fund could receive securities from
the Portfolio instead of cash, causing the Fund to incur brokerage, tax and
other charges or leaving it with securities which may or may not be readily
marketable or widely diversified.
    

    The Portfolio may change its investment objective and certain of its
investment policies and restrictions without approval by its investors, but
the Portfolio will notify the Fund (which in turn will notify its
shareholders) and its other investors at least 30 days before implementing any
change in its investment objective. A change in investment objective, policies
or restrictions may cause the Fund to withdraw its investment in the
Portfolio.

    Certain investment restrictions of the Portfolio described below under
"Investment Restrictions" are fundamental and cannot be changed without
approval by the investors in the Portfolio. When the Fund is asked to vote on
certain matters concerning the Portfolio, the Fund will either hold a
shareholder meeting and vote in accordance with shareholder instructions or
otherwise vote in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. Of course,
the Fund could be outvoted, or otherwise adversely affected by other investors
in the Portfolio.

    The Portfolio may sell interests to investors in addition to the Fund.
These investors may be mutual funds which offer shares to their shareholders
with different costs and expenses than the Fund. Therefore, the investment
return for all investors in funds investing in the Portfolio may not be the
same. These differences in returns are also present in other mutual fund
structures. Information about other holders of interests in the Portfolio is
available from the Fund's distributor, CFBDS.

                   3. DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED INVESTMENTS
                           AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES

   
    The Fund may, but need not, invest in all of the investments and utilize
any or all of the investment techniques described below and in the Prospectus.
The selection of investments and the utilization of investment techniques
depend on, among other things, the Investment Adviser's investment strategies
for the Fund, conditions and trends in the economy and financial markets and
investments being available on terms that, in the Adviser's opinion, make 
economic sense.
    

    The Prospectus contains a discussion of the principal investment
strategies of the Fund and the principal risks of investing in the Fund. The
following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus concerning
the investment policies and techniques of the Fund. The policies described
herein are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

    As a non-fundamental policy, at least 65% of the value of the Fund's total
assets will be invested in equity securities of issuers organized in at least
three countries other than the United States. While the Fund's policy is to
invest 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.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

    The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements collateralized by securities
in which the Fund may otherwise invest. Repurchase agreements are agreements
by which the Fund 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 Fund'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 Fund 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 Fund are fully collateralized, with such collateral being marked to
market daily.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

   
    The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements, subject to the
Fund's investment restriction on borrowing. 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 segregated. 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. In the event of the bankruptcy of the
other party to a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience
delays in recovering the securities sold. To the extent that, in the meantime,
the value of the securities sold has changed, the Fund could experience a
loss.
    

RULE 144A SECURITIES

   
    Consistent with applicable investment restrictions, the Fund may purchase
securities that are not registered 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 ("Rule 144A securities").
However, the Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (taken at
market value) 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, in the case of Rule
144A securities, the Board of Trustees determines, based on the trading
markets for the specific Rule 144A security, that it is liquid. The Trustees
have adopted guidelines and, subject to oversight by the Trustees, have
delegated to the Adviser the daily function of determining and monitoring
liquidity of Rule 144A securities. The Trustees, however, retain oversight and
are ultimately responsible for the determinations.
    

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS AND ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS

    The Fund may invest up to 15% 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.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

    The Fund may invest in convertible securities. A convertible security is a
fixed-income security (a bond or preferred stock) which may be converted at a
stated price within a specified period of time into a certain quantity of
common stock or other equity securities of the same or a different issuer.
Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation's capital
structure but are usually subordinated to similar non-convertible securities.
While providing a fixed-income stream (generally higher in yield than the
income derivable from common stock but lower than that afforded by a similar
non-convertible security), a convertible security also affords an investor the
opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in the capital
appreciation attendant upon a market price advance in the convertible
security's underlying common stock.

    In general, the market value of a convertible security is at least the
higher of its "investment value" (i.e., its value as a fixed-income security)
or its "conversion value" (i.e., its value upon conversion into its underlying
stock). As a fixed-income security, a convertible security tends to increase
in market value when interest rates decline and tends to decrease in value
when interest rates rise. However, the price of a convertible security is also
influenced by the market value of the security's underlying common stock. The
price of a convertible security tends to increase as the market value of the
underlying stock rises, whereas it tends to decrease as the market value of
the underlying stock declines. While no securities investment is without some
risk, investments in convertible securities generally entail less risk than
investments in the common stock of the same issuer.

SECURITIES OF NON-U.S. ISSUERS

    The Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers. Investing in
securities of foreign issuers may involve significant risks not present in
domestic 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 foreign 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 domestic 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 Fund, 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. Prices at which the Fund may acquire securities may
be affected by trading by persons with material non-public information and by
securities transactions by brokers in anticipation of transactions by the
Fund. Non-U.S. security trading practices, including those involving
securities settlement where the Fund's assets may be released prior to receipt
of payments, may expose the Fund to increased risk in the event of a failed
trade or the insolvency of a non-U.S. broker-dealer. In addition, foreign
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 Fund may invest in issuers located in developing countries, which are
generally defined as countries in the initial stages of their
industrialization cycles with lower 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, to investors. 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. Such characteristics can be expected to continue in the future.

    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 involved in U.S. investing. As a result, the operating expense
ratio of the Fund may be higher than that of investment companies investing
exclusively in U.S. securities.

    Subject to applicable statutory and regulatory limitations, assets of the
Fund may be invested in shares of other investment companies. The Fund may
invest up to 5% of its assets in closed-end investment companies which
primarily hold securities of non-U.S. issuers. 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 Fund 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.

    ADRs, EDRs, and GDRs may be issued pursuant to sponsored or unsponsored
programs. In sponsored programs, an issuer has made arrangements to have its
securities traded in the form of depositary receipts. In unsponsored programs,
the issuer may not be directly involved in the creation of the program.
Although regulatory requirements with respect to sponsored and unsponsored
programs are generally similar, in some cases it may be easier to obtain
financial information from an issuer that has participated in the creation of
a sponsored program. Accordingly, there may be less information available
regarding issuers of securities underlying unsponsored programs and there may
not be a correlation between such information and the market value of the
depositary receipts.

    The Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that impose
restrictions on transfer within the U.S. or to U.S. 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.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS

   
    Because the Fund 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 Fund may enter into currency
exchange transactions to convert U.S. currency to foreign currency and foreign
currency to U.S. currency, as well as convert foreign currency to other
foreign currencies. The Fund either enters into these transactions on a spot
(i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency
exchange market, or uses forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign
currencies. The Fund also may, but is not obligated to, enter into foreign
currency hedging transactions in an attempt to protect the value of the assets
of the Fund as measured in U.S. dollars from unfavorable changes in currency
exchange rates and control regulations. (Although the Fund's assets are valued
daily in terms of U.S. dollars, the Trust does not intend to convert the
Fund's holdings of other currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis.) The
Fund does not currently intend to speculate in currency exchange rates or
forward contracts.
    

    The Fund 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 Fund 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. Because these contracts are traded in the interbank market and not
on organized commodities or securities exchanges, these contracts operate in a
manner distinct from exchange-traded instruments, and their use involves
certain risks. A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement, and no
fees or commissions are charged at any stage for trades.

    When the Fund 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 Fund may 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 Fund 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 Fund's
securities denominated in such non-U.S. currency. The projection of a short-
term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. 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 Fund believes that it is important to have the
flexibility to enter into such forward contracts when it determines that its
best interests will be served.
    

    The Fund generally would not enter into a forward contract with a term
greater than one year. At the maturity of a forward contract, the Fund 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 Fund retains the security and engages in an
offsetting transaction, the Fund will incur a gain or a loss (as described
below) to the extent that there has been movement in forward contract prices.
If the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund
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 Fund
securities at the expiration of the contract. Accordingly, it may be necessary
for the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund is obligated to deliver.

   
    The Fund has established procedures consistent with policies of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") concerning forward contracts.
Those policies currently require that an amount of the Fund's assets equal to
the amount of the purchase be held aside or segregated to be used to pay for
the commitment or that the Fund otherwise covers its position in accordance
with applicable regulations and policies.

    The Fund may also purchase put options on a non-U.S. currency in order to
protect against currency rate fluctuations. If the Fund purchases a put option
on a non-U.S. currency and the value of the non-U.S. currency declines, the
Fund 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 Fund which otherwise would have resulted. Conversely, where a rise in
the U.S. dollar value of another currency is projected, and where the Fund
anticipates investing in securities traded in such currency, the Fund 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 Fund from
purchases of foreign 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 Fund
could sustain losses on transactions in foreign currency options which would
require it to forego a portion or all of the benefits of advantageous changes
in such rates.

    The Fund may write options on non-U.S. currencies for hedging purposes or
otherwise to achieve its investment objective. For example, where the Fund
anticipates a decline in the value of the U.S. dollar value of a foreign
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 Fund may 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 foreign 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 Fund could write a put option on
the relevant currency which, if rates move in the manner projected, will
expire unexercised and allow the Fund to hedge such increased cost up to the
amount of the premium.

    The writing of put or call options on non-U.S. currencies by the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund also may be required to
forego 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 Fund will be
covered by segregation of cash and liquid securities in an amount sufficient
to discharge the Fund'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 and other depositary receipts 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 these receipts are traded primarily in non-U.S. currencies, changes
in currency exchange rates will affect the value of these receipts. 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 non-U.S. currency remains
constant, and thus will reduce the value of the receipts covering such
securities. The Fund may employ any of the above described foreign currency
hedging techniques to protect the value of its assets invested in depositary
receipts.

   
    Of course, the Fund is not required to enter into the transactions
described above and does not do so unless deemed appropriate by the Adviser.
It should be realized that under certain circumstances, hedging arrangements
to protect the value of the Fund's securities against a decline in currency
values may not be available to the Fund on terms that make economic sense
(they may be too costly). It should also be realized that these methods of
protecting the value of the Fund'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, if correctly used, may
minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged
currency, they do not eliminate the risk of loss and also tend to limit any
potential gain which might result should the value of such currency increase.

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, 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 Fund engages in a short sale, the collateral for the short
position is maintained for the Fund 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 Fund. These securities constitute the Fund's long position.

    The Fund does not engage in short sales against the box for investment
purposes. The Fund 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 Fund (or a security convertible or
exchangeable for such security). In such case, any future losses in the Fund'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 Fund owns.
There are certain additional transaction costs associated with short sales
against the box, but the Fund 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 Fund'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 Fund 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. Either party has the right to
terminate a loan at any time on customary industry settlement notice (which
will not usually exceed three business days). During the existence of a loan,
the Fund would continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends
paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and with respect to cash
collateral would also receive compensation based on investment of cash
collateral (subject to a rebate payable to the borrower). Where the borrower
provides the Fund with collateral consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations, the
borrower is also obligated to pay the Fund a fee for use of the borrowed
securities. The Fund 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. In addition, the Fund could
suffer loss if the borrower terminates the loan and the Fund is forced to
liquidate investments in order to return the cash collateral to the buyer. The
Adviser will make loans only when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the
considerations 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 would exceed 33 1/3% of the
market value of the Fund's total net assets.
    

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

   
    The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" or on a "forward
delivery" basis, meaning that delivery of the securities occurs beyond normal
settlement times. In general, the Fund does not pay for the securities until
received and does not start earning interest until the contractual settlement
date. It is expected that, under normal circumstances, the Fund would take
delivery of such securities but the Fund may sell them before the settlement
date. When the Fund 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 Fund's assets
equal to the amount of the purchase be held aside or segregated to be used to
pay for the commitment, the Fund expects always to have cash or liquid
securities sufficient to cover any commitments or to limit any potential risk.
However, even though the Fund 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. The when-issued securities are subject to market fluctuation,
and no interest accrues on the security to the purchaser during this period.
The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the
securities are each fixed at the time the purchaser enters into the
commitment. Purchasing obligations on a when-issued basis is a form of
leveraging and can involve a risk that the yields available in the market when
the delivery takes place may actually be higher than those obtained in the
transactions itself. In that case, there could be an unrealized loss at the
time of delivery. 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.
    

DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES

    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 in a lower quality or longer term.

                         4.  INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

    The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Portfolio Trust, on behalf of
the Portfolio, each have adopted the following policies which may not be
changed with respect to the Fund or the Portfolio, as the case may be, 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 Portfolio present at a meeting at which the
holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or
Portfolio are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund or Portfolio. The term "voting
securities" as used in this paragraph has the same meaning as in the 1940 Act.

    Neither the Portfolio nor the Fund 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 respective net assets, including the
    amount borrowed (and neither the Portfolio nor the Fund may purchase any
    securities at any time at which borrowings exceed 5% of the total assets
    of the Portfolio or the Fund, 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.

        (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
    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 foregoing
    shall not be deemed to preclude the Fund or Portfolio from investing in
    futures contracts, and the Fund and 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 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 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, except that all the assets of the Fund may be invested
    in a Qualifying Portfolio.

        (8) Concentrate its investments in any particular industry, 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.

   
    For purposes of restriction (1) above, arrangements with respect to
securities lending are not treated as borrowing.
    

    As an operating policy, the Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net
assets (taken at market value) in securities for which there is no readily
available market. This policy is not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.

   
    If a percentage or rating restriction on investment or utilization of
assets (taken at market value) set forth above or referred to in the Fund's
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
Fund or Portfolio will not be considered a violation of policy. If the value
of the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities at any time exceeds the
percentage limitation applicable at the time of acquisition due to subsequent
fluctuations in value or other reasons, the Board of Trustees will consider
what actions, if any, are appropriate to maintain adequate liquidity.
    

                         5.  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, annualized, cumulative, and average annual
"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, 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. Average annual total return figures represent the
average annual percentage change over the specified period. Cumulative total
return figures are not annualized and represent the aggregate percentage or
dollar value change over a stated period of time.
    

    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 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.

   
    Average annual total return is a measure of the Fund's performance over
time. It is determined by taking the Fund's performance over a given period
and expressing it as an average annual rate. The average annual total return
quotation is computed in accordance with a standardized method prescribed by
SEC rules. The average annual total return for a specific period is found by
taking a hypothetical $1,000 initial investment in Fund shares on the first
day of the period, reducing the amount to reflect the maximum sales charge,
and computing the redeemable value of that investment at the end of the
period. The redeemable value is then divided by the initial investment, and
this quotient is taken to the Nth root (N representing the number of years in
the period) and 1 is subtracted from the result, which is then expressed as a
percentage. The calculation assumes that all income and capital gains
distributions have been reinvested in Fund shares at net asset value on the
reinvestment dates during the period.
    

    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 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.
Any fees charged by a shareholder's Shareholder Servicing Agent will reduce
that shareholder's net return on his or her investment.

    A 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 average annual 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. All outstanding
shares were designated Class A shares on January 4, 1999. The return
information relates to periods prior to January 4, 1999, when there were no
sales charges on the purchase or sale of the Fund's shares. The Class A
performance for past periods has therefore been adjusted to reflect the
maximum sales charge currently in effect. The Class B shares are newly offered
commencing January 4, 1999. Performance results include any applicable fee
waivers or expense subsidies in place during the time period, which may cause
the results to be more favorable than they would otherwise have been.

    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.
    

    For advertising and sales purposes, the Fund will generally use the
performance of Class A shares. All outstanding Fund shares were designated
Class A shares on January 4, 1999. Performance prior to that date will be
adjusted to include the sales charges currently in effect. Class A shares are
sold at net asset value plus a current maximum sales charge of 5.00%.
Performance will typically include this maximum sales charge for the purposes
of calculating performance figures. If the performance of Class B shares is
used for advertising and sales purposes, performance after class inception on
January 4, 1999 will be actual performance, while performance prior to that
date will be Class A performance, adjusted to reflect the differences in sales
charges (but not the differences in fees and expenses) between the classes.
For these purposes, it will be assumed that the maximum contingent deferred
sales charge applicable to the Class B shares is deducted at the times, in the
amount, and under the terms stated in the Prospectus. Class B share
performance generally would have been lower than Class A performance, had the
Class B shares been offered for the entire period, because the expenses
attributable to Class B shares are higher than the expenses attributable to
the Class A shares. Fund performance may also be presented in advertising and
sales literature without the inclusion of sales charges.

                    6.   DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE;
                           VALUATION OF SECURITIES

   
    The net asset value per share of the Fund is determined for each class on
each day during which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading (a
"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, Martin
Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. This determination of net
asset value is made once each day as of the close of regular trading on such
Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) by adding the market value of all
securities and other assets attributable to the class (including its interest
in the Portfolio), then subtracting the liabilities attributable to that
class, and then dividing the result by the number of outstanding shares of the
class. The net asset value per share is effective for orders received and
accepted by the Shareholder Servicing Agent 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 or if there are no market rates,
at fair value 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
foreign 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 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 Trust. 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 Trust.
    

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

    Interest income on long-term obligations held for the Fund 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 plus amortization
of any premium.

             7.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASE AND SALE
                   OF FUND SHARES AND SHAREHOLDER PROGRAMS

    As described in the Prospectus, the Fund provides you with alternative
ways of purchasing shares based upon your individual investment needs.

    Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in the same
portfolio of investments. Each class is identical in all respects except that
each class bears its own class expenses, including distribution and service
fees and shareholder servicing agent fees, and each class has exclusive voting
rights with respect to any distribution plan or administrative services plan
applicable to its shares. As a result of the differences in the expenses borne
by each class of shares, net income per share, dividends per share and net
asset value per share will vary for each class of shares. There are no
conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, except that Class B
shares automatically convert to Class A shares in eight years as more fully
described below.

    Shareholders of each class will share expenses proportionately for
services that are received equally by all shareholders. A particular class of
shares will bear only those expenses that are directly attributable to that
class, where the type or amount of services received by a class varies from
one class to another. The expenses that may be borne by specific classes of
shares may include (i) transfer agency fees attributable to a specific class
of shares, (ii) printing and postage expenses related to preparing and
distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and proxy
statements to current shareholders of a specific class of shares, (iii) SEC
and state securities registration fees incurred by a specific class, (iv) the
expense of administrative personnel and services required to support the
shareholders of a specific class of shares, (v) litigation or other legal
expenses relating to a specific class of shares, (vi) accounting expenses
relating to a specific class of shares and (vii) any additional incremental
expenses subsequently identified and determined to be properly allocated to
one or more classes of shares.

CLASS A SHARES

   
    You may purchase Class A shares at a public offering price equal to the
applicable net asset value per share plus an up-front sales charge imposed at
the time of purchase as set forth in the Prospectus. You may qualify for a
reduced sales charge depending upon the amount of your purchase, or the sales
charge may be waived in its entirety, as described below under "Sales Charge
Waivers." If you qualify to purchase Class A shares without a sales load, you
should purchase Class A shares rather than Class B shares because Class A
shares pay lower fees. Class A shares are also subject to an annual
distribution fee of up to 0.10% which is currently being waived on a voluntary
basis, an additional fee of up to 0.05% for expenses incurred in connection
with print or electronic media advertising, and a 0.25% shareholder servicing
agent fee. See "Distributor." Set forth below is an example of the method of
computing the offering price of the Class A shares of the Fund. The example
assumes a purchase on December 31, 1998 of Class A shares from the Fund
aggregating less than $25,000 subject to the schedule of sales charges set
forth below.

    The Fund receives the entire net asset value of all Class A shares that
are sold. The Distributor retains the full applicable sales charge from which
it pays the uniform reallowances shown in the table below to shareholder
servicing agents which are broker-dealers. The Distributor keeps the full
applicable sales charge with respect to Class A shares sold by shareholder
servicing agents that are not broker-dealers.

    The front-end sales charge for Class A shares expressed as a percentage of
offering price and net asset value, and the dealer reallowance expressed as a
percentage of the offering price is set forth in the table below. The Fund has
established certain shareholder programs that may permit you to take advantage
of the lower rates available for larger purchases, as described under
"Shareholder Programs" below.

*A contingent deferred sales charge may apply in certain instances. See "Sales
 Charge Waivers -- Class A" below.

CLASS B SHARES

    Class B shares are sold without a front-end, or initial, sales charge, but
you are charged a "contingent deferred sales charge" (CDSC) when you sell
shares within five years of purchase. The rate of CDSC goes down the longer
you hold your shares. The table below shows the rates that you pay, as a
percentage of the purchase price (or the sale price, whichever is less),
depending upon when you sell your shares.

3rd year since purchase                                          3%
4th year since purchase                                          2%
5th year since purchase                                          1%
6th year (or later) since purchase                              None

    Class B shares pay distribution/service fees of up to 1.00% of the average
daily net assets of the Fund represented by the Class B shares. The
Distributor pays commissions to Shareholder Servicing Agents which are broker-
dealers of 4.50% of the offering price of Class B shares sold by these
entities. The Distributor keeps the full applicable sales charge with respect
to Class B shares sold by Shareholder Servicing Agents that are not broker-
dealers. These commissions are not paid on exchanges from other CitiFunds or
on sales of Class B shares to investors exempt from the CDSC. The Distributor
is compensated for these payments through the receipt of the ongoing
distribution fees from the Fund, and through the CDSC, if any. The Distributor
will also advance the first year service fee to dealers at an annual rate
equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets represented by Class B shares
sold by them. As a result, the total amount paid to a dealer upon the purchase
of Class B shares may be a maximum of 4.75% of the purchase price of the Class
B shares.
    

    When you sell your shares, the CDSC will be based on either your purchase
price, or the sale price, whichever is less. You do not pay a CDSC on shares
acquired through reinvestment of dividends, capital gain distributions and
shares representing capital appreciation. The Fund will assume that a
redemption of Class B shares is made:

  [] first, of Class B shares representing capital appreciation

  [] next, of shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital
     gains distributions

  [] finally, of other shares held by the investor for the longest period of
     time.

Under certain circumstances, as set forth below in "Sales Charge Waivers," the
CDSC will be waived.

    The holding period of Class B shares of the Fund acquired through an
exchange with another CitiFund will be calculated from the date that the Class
B shares were initially acquired in the other CitiFund, and Class B shares
being redeemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, capital
appreciation or dividend and capital gains distribution reinvestments in the
other fund. When determining the amount of the CDSC, the Fund will use the
CDSC schedule of any fund from which you have exchanged shares that would
result in you paying the highest CDSC.

SALES CHARGE WAIVERS

    In certain circumstances, the initial sales charge imposed on purchases of
Class A shares, and the CDSC imposed upon sales of Class A or Class B shares,
are waived. Waivers are generally instituted in order to promote goodwill with
persons or entities with which Citibank or the Distributor or their affiliates
have business relationships, or because the sales effort, if any, involved in
making such sales is negligible, or, in the case of certain CDSC waivers,
because the circumstances surrounding the sale of Fund shares were not
foreseeable or voluntary. These sales charge waivers may be modified or
discontinued at any time.

CLASS A--FRONT-END SALES CHARGE

   
o Reinvestment. The sales charge does not apply to Class A shares acquired
  through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.
    

o Eligible Purchasers. Class A shares may be purchased without a sales charge by
  the following eligible purchasers:

  [] tax exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3-13) of the Internal Revenue
     Code

   
  [] trust accounts for which Citibank or any subsidiary or affiliate of
     Citibank acts as trustee and exercises discretionary investment management
     authority
    

  [] accounts for which Citibank or any subsidiary or affiliate of Citibank
     performs investment advisory services or charges fees for acting as
     custodian

  [] directors or trustees (and their immediate families), and retired directors
     or trustees (and their immediate families), of any investment company for
     which Citibank or any subsidiary or affiliate of Citibank serves as the
     investment adviser or as a service or shareholder servicing agent

  [] employees of Citibank and its affiliates, CFBDS, Inc. and its affiliates or
     any Shareholder Servicing Agent and its affiliates (including immediate
     families of any of the foregoing), and retired employees of Citibank and
     its affiliates or CFBDS, Inc. and its affiliates (including immediate
     families of the foregoing)

  [] investors participating in a fee-based or promotional arrangement sponsored
     or advised by Citibank or its affiliates

  [] investors participating in a rewards program that offers Fund shares as an
     investment option based on an investor's balances in selected Citigroup
     Inc. products and services

  [] employees of members of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
     Inc., provided that such sales are made upon the assurance of the purchaser
     that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the securities
     will not be resold except through redemption or repurchase

  [] separate accounts used to fund certain unregistered variable annuity
     contracts

  [] direct rollovers by plan participants from a 401(k) plan offered to
     Citigroup employees

  [] 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 CitiFund or mutual fund managed or advised
     by Citibank (all of such funds being referred to herein as CitiFunds) the
     terms of which entitle those shareholders to purchase shares of the Fund or
     any other CitiFund at net asset value without a sales charge

  [] employee benefit plans qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal
     Revenue Code with accounts outstanding on January 4, 1999

  [] employee benefit plans qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue
     Code, including salary reduction plans qualified under Section 401(k) of
     the Code, subject to minimum requirements as may be established by CFBDS
     with respect to the amount of purchase; currently, the amount invested by
     the qualified plan in the Fund or in any combination of CitiFunds must
     total a minimum of $1 million

  [] accounts associated with Copeland Retirement Programs

  [] investors purchasing $500,000 or more of Class A shares; however, a
     contingent deferred sales charge will be imposed on the investments in the
     event of certain share redemptions within 12 months following the share
     purchase, at the rate of 1% of the lesser of the value of the shares
     redeemed (not including reinvested dividends and capital gains
     distributions) or the total cost of the shares; 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;
     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 CitiFund
         and deducted from the redemption proceeds when the 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

  [] subject to appropriate documentation, investors where the amount invested
     represents redemption proceeds from a mutual fund (other than a CitiFund),
     if:

       + the redeemed shares were subject to an initial sales charge or a
         deferred sales charge (whether or not actually imposed), and

       + the redemption has occurred no more than 60 days prior to the purchase
         of Class A shares of the Fund

  [] 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 CFBDS from another investment firm within six months
     prior to the date of purchase by the investor, if:

       + 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

       + the redemption is made within 60 days prior to the investment in the
         Fund, and

       + the net asset value of the shares of the Fund sold to that investor
         without a sales charge does not exceed the proceeds of the redemption

   
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE:
    

o Reinvestment. There is no CDSC on shares representing capital appreciation or
  on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains
  distributions.

o Waivers. The CDSC will be waived in connection with:

  [] 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

  [] a lump sum or other distribution in the case of an Individual Retirement
     Account (IRA), a self-employed individual retirement plan (Keogh Plan) or a
     custodian account under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, in
     each case following attainment of age 59 1/2

  [] a total or partial redemption resulting from any distribution following
     retirement in the case of a tax-qualified retirement plan

  [] a redemption resulting from a tax-free return of an excess contribution to
     an IRA

  [] redemptions made under the Fund's Systematic Withdrawal Plan

AUTOMATIC 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. At
the same time, a portion of all Class B shares representing dividends and
other distributions paid in additional Class B shares will be converted in
accordance with procedures from time to time approved by the Fund's Trustees.
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 CitiFunds 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.

SHAREHOLDER PROGRAMS

   
    The Fund makes the following programs available to shareholders to enable
them to reduce or eliminate the front-end sales charges on Class A shares, to
exchange Fund shares for shares of other CitiFunds, without, in many cases,
the payment of a sales charge or to provide for the automatic withdrawal of
cash. These programs may be changed or discontinued at any time. For more
information, please contact your Shareholder Servicing Agent.
    

REDUCED SALES CHARGE PLAN

    A qualified group may purchase shares as a single purchaser under the
reduced sales charge plan. The purchases by the group are lumped together and
the sales charge is based on the lump sum. A qualified group must:

    [] have been in existence for more than six months

    [] have a purpose other than acquiring Fund shares at a discount

    [] satisfy uniform criteria that enable CFBDS to realize economies of scale
       in its costs of distributing shares

    [] have more than ten members

    [] be available to arrange for group meetings between representatives of the
       Fund and the members

    [] 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

    [] seek to arrange for payroll deduction or other bulk transmission of
       investments to the Fund

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 CitiFunds or of any other mutual fund managed or advised by
Citibank (all of such funds being referred to herein as CitiFunds) within a
13-month period, the investor may obtain the 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 CFBDS, Inc., the Fund's 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's Shareholder Servicing Agent must inform CFBDS 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
       the purchase if CFBDS is informed in writing of this intent within the
       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 the letter, but the reduced sales charge applicable to the
       amount covered by the 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 a Shareholder Servicing Agent stating that the shares were
       paid for by the person signing the letter.

    [] Neither income dividends nor capital gains 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 are
       deducted from the total purchases made under the letter of intent.

   
    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 grants a power of attorney
to the Shareholder Servicing Agent to redeem any or all shares purchased under
the letter of intent, with full power of substitution.
    

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 CitiFunds,
reaches a discount level. For example, if a Fund shareholder owns shares
valued at $50,000 and purchases an additional $50,000 of Class A shares of the
Fund, the sales charge for the $50,000 purchase would be at the rate of 3.00%
(the rate applicable to single transactions from $100,000 to less than
$250,000). A shareholder must provide his or her Shareholder Servicing Agent
with information to verify that the quantity sales charge discount is
applicable at the time the investment is made.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN

    The Fund's Systematic Withdrawal Plan permits you to have a specified
dollar amount (minimum of $100 per withdrawal) automatically withdrawn from
your account on a regular basis if you have at least $10,000 in your Fund
account at the time of enrollment. You are limited to one withdrawal per month
under the Plan.

    If you redeem shares under the Plan that are subject to a CDSC, you are
not subject to any CDSC applicable to the shares redeemed, but the maximum
amount that you can redeem under the Plan in any year is limited to 10% of the
average daily balance in your account.

    You may receive your withdrawals by check, or have the monies transferred
directly into your bank account. Or you may direct that payments be made
directly to a third party.

    To participate in the Plan, you must complete the appropriate forms
provided by your Shareholder Servicing Agent.

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 90 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.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

   
    Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of the same class of
certain other CitiFunds that are made available by your Shareholder Servicing
Agent, or may be acquired through an exchange of shares of the same class of
those funds. Class A shares also may be exchanged for shares of certain
CitiFunds that offer only a single class of shares, unless the Class A shares
are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class B shares may not be
exchanged for shares of CitiFunds that offer only a single class of shares.
    

    No initial sales charge is imposed on shares being acquired through an
exchange unless Class A shares are being acquired and the sales charge for
Class A 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). Investors whose shares are outstanding on
January 4, 1999 will be able to exchange those Class A shares, and any shares
acquired through capital appreciation and the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions on those shares, into Class A shares of the other
funds without paying any sales charge.

    No CDSC is imposed on Class B shares at the time they are exchanged for
Class B shares of certain other CitiFunds that are made available by your
Shareholder Servicing Agent. However, you may be required to pay a CDSC when
you sell those shares. When determining the amount of the CDSC, each Fund will
use the CDSC schedule of any fund from which you have exchanged shares that
would result in you paying the highest CDSC.

    You must notify your Shareholder Servicing Agent at the time of exchange
if you believe that you qualify for share prices which do not include the
sales charge or which reflect a reduced sales charge, because the Fund shares
you are exchanging were: (a) purchased with a sales charge, (b) acquired
through a previous exchange from shares purchased with a sales charge, (c)
outstanding as of January 4, 1999, or (d) acquired through capital
appreciation or the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions
on those shares. Any such qualification may be subject to confirmation,
through a check of appropriate records and documentation, of your existing
share balances and any sales charges paid on prior share purchases.

    This exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time, and is
available only in those jurisdictions where such exchanges legally may be
made. Before making any exchange, shareholders should contact their
Shareholder Servicing Agents to obtain more information and prospectuses of
the 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.

ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND SALE INFORMATION

    Each shareholder's account is established and maintained by his or her
Shareholder Servicing Agent, which is the shareholder of record of the Fund.
Each Shareholder Servicing Agent establishes 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. Each
Shareholder Servicing Agent has agreed to transmit to its customers who are
shareholders of the Fund appropriate written disclosure of any fees that it
may charge them directly. The effect of any such fees will be to reduce the
net return on the investment of customers of that Shareholder Servicing Agent.
Each Shareholder Servicing Agent is responsible for transmitting promptly
orders of its customers.

    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 Agent and their tax and retirement
advisers.

    Shareholders may redeem or exchange Fund shares by telephone, if their
account applications so permit, by calling their Shareholder Servicing Agent.
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, the transfer agent 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, Social Security number, and
account number. If these or other reasonable procedures are not followed, the
Fund, the transfer agent 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.

    Subject to compliance with applicable regulations, the Trust 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 Trust 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 the 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 the 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.

    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.

                                8.  MANAGEMENT

    The Fund is supervised by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, and the

- ------------
(1) For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
(2) Messrs. Coolidge, Gilley, McLendon, Morong, Warren and Woods, and Mses. Harrington and Kerley are Trustees of 50,
    34, 22, 41, 41, 27, 29, and 29 funds or portfolios, respectively, in the family of open-end registered investment
    companies advised or managed by Citibank.
(3) Mr. McLendon was appointed as Trustee in February, 1999.
</TABLE>

    As of April 9, 1999, all Trustees and officers as a group owned less than
1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. 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 Trust and the Portfolio Trust
provides that the Trust or the Portfolio Trust, as the case may be, 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 Trust or the Portfolio Trust, as the case may be, unless, as
to liability to the Trust, 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 unless with respect to any other matter 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 Trust 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 Trust 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 securities of the Portfolio 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. Unless
otherwise terminated, the Advisory Agreement will continue in effect 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.

   
    For its services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the
Portfolio, Citibank receives fees, which are computed daily and paid monthly,
at an annual rate equal to 1.00% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets
on an annualized basis for the Fund's then-current fiscal year. This
investment advisory fee is higher than the investment advisory fees paid by
most mutual funds. The Trustees of the Portfolio have determined that the
1.00% investment advisory fee is reasonable in light of the Portfolio's
investment policy of investing primarily in foreign securities. Citibank may
reimburse the Portfolio or waive all or a portion of its advisory fees. For
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the fees paid to
Citibank under the Advisory Agreement, after fee waivers, were $472,204,
$438,017, and $353,752, respectively.
    

ADMINISTRATOR

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

   
    The fees payable to the Administrator and the Portfolio Administrator,
respectively, under the Administrative Services Agreements are 0.30% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund and 0.05% of the average daily net assets
of the Portfolio, accrued daily and paid monthly, in each case on an
annualized basis for the Fund's or the Portfolio's then-current fiscal year.
However each of the Administrator and the Portfolio Administrator has
voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the fees payable as necessary to
maintain the projected rate of total operating expenses. CFBDS has agreed to
pay certain expenses of the Fund. SFG has agreed to pay certain expenses of
the Portfolio. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
the fees paid by the Fund to CFBDS under the Administrative Services Agreement
and a prior administrative services agreement, after waivers, were $44,502,
$79,045, and $58,123 respectively. For the fiscal years ended December 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998, the fees paid by the Portfolio to SFG under the
Administrative Services Agreement with the Portfolio Trust, after waivers,
were $13,247, $0 and $0, respectively.
    

    The Administrative Services Agreement with the Trust provides that CFBDS
may render administrative services to others. The Administrative Services
Agreement with the Trust continues in effect with respect to the Fund if such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of
Trustees of the Trust or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Trust and, in either case, by a majority of the Trustees who
are not parties to the Administrative Services Agreement or interested persons
of any such party. The Administrative Services Agreement with the Trust
terminates automatically if it is assigned and may be terminated without
penalty by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Trust or by either party on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days'
written notice. The Administrative Services Agreement with the Trust also
provides that neither CFBDS, 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 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 Trust's 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.

    CFBDS 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 Trust and the Portfolio Trust as from time
to time are agreed upon by Citibank and respectively, CFBDS and SFG.
Citibank's sub-administrative duties may include providing equipment and
clerical personnel necessary for maintaining the Trust's and the Portfolio
Trust's organization, participation in the preparation of documents required
for compliance by the Trust and 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 CFBDS or SFG, not in excess of the amount paid to CFBDS or SFG for its
services under the Administrative Services Agreements with the Trust and the
Portfolio Trust. All such compensation is paid by CFBDS or SFG.

DISTRIBUTOR

    CFBDS, 21 Milk Street, Boston, MA 02109, serves as the Distributor of the
Fund's shares pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Trust with respect
to each class of shares of the Fund (each, a "Distribution Agreement"). In
those states where CFBDS is not a registered broker-dealer, shares of the Fund
are sold through Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc., as dealer. Under the
Distribution Agreements, CFBDS is obligated to use its best efforts to sell
shares of each class of the Fund.

    Either party may terminate a Distribution Agreement on not less than 30
days' nor more than 60 days' written notice to the other party. Unless
otherwise terminated each Distribution Agreement will continue from year to
year upon annual approval by the Trust's Board of Trustees by vote of a
majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to such
Distribution Agreement or interested persons of any party to such Distribution
Agreement, 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.

   
    Each class of the Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (each, a
"Distribution Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with
respect to shares of the Fund after concluding that there is a reasonable
likelihood that a Distribution Plan will benefit the Fund and its
shareholders. The Distribution Plan with respect to Class A shares provides
that the Fund shall pay a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at an
annual rate not to exceed 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets with
respect to Class A shares. The Distributor receives distribution fees for its
services under the Distribution Agreement with respect to Class A shares in
connection with the distribution of Class A Fund shares (exclusive of any
advertising expenses incurred by the Distributor in connection with the sale
of shares). 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 and
other such expenses related to the distribution of Class A shares. The
Distribution Plan with respect to 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 Fund with respect to Class A shares) in anticipation of or
as reimbursement for print or electronic media advertising expenses incurred.
The Fund did not pay this fee during its most recent fiscal year and does not
anticipate paying it during the current fiscal year. The Distributor receives
a fee, not to exceed 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund
attributable to Class B shares. Such fees may be used to make payments to the
Distributor for distribution services, to Shareholder Servicing Agents that
have entered into shareholder servicing agreements with the Distributor and
others in respect of the sale of Class B shares of the Fund, and to other
parties in respect of the sale of Class B shares of the Fund, and to make
payments for advertising, marketing or other promotional activity, and
payments for preparation, printing, and distribution of prospectuses,
statements of additional information and reports for recipients other than
regulators and existing shareholders. The Fund also may make payments to the
Distributor, Shareholder Servicing Agents and others for providing personal
service or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The amounts paid by the
Distributor to each recipient may vary based upon certain factors, including,
among other things, the levels of sales of Fund shares and/or shareholder
services provided. Recipients may receive different compensation for sales for
Class A and Class B shares.
    

    Each Distribution 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 Trust 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 Trust 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 Plans.
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. A Distribution Plan may
be terminated with respect to any class of the Fund at any time by a vote of a
majority of the Trust's Qualified Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of that class. A Distribution Plan may not be
amended to increase materially the amount of permitted expenses of the class
thereunder without the approval of a majority of the outstanding securities of
that class 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 the
Distribution Plans for a period of not less than six years from the date of
each Plan, and for the first two years the Distributor will preserve such
copies in an easily accessible place.

   
    As contemplated by the Distribution Plans, CFBDS acts as the agent of the
Trust in connection with the offering of shares of the Fund pursuant to the
Distribution Agreements. After the prospectuses 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. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the
fees paid to CFBDS under the Distribution Agreements with respect to the Fund
were $33,482, $27,121 and $19,374, respectively, no portion of which was
applicable to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with print or
electronic media advertising. All of the foregoing amounts paid under the
Distribution Plans were spent on printing and mailing expenses.
    

    The Distributor may enter into agreements with Shareholder Servicing
Agents and may pay compensation to such Shareholder Servicing Agents for
accounts for which the Shareholder Servicing Agents are holders of record.
Payments may be made to the Shareholder Servicing Agents or for other
distribution expenses out of the distribution fees received by the Distributor
and out of the Distributor's past profits or any other source available to it.

EXPENSES

    In addition to amounts payable under its Investment Advisory Agreement,
the Administrative Services Plan and the Distribution Plans, the Fund is
responsible for its own expenses, including, among other things, the costs of
securities transactions, the compensation of Trustees that are not affiliated
with Citibank or the Fund's Distributor, government fees, taxes, accounting
and legal fees, expenses of communication with shareholders, interest expense,
and insurance premiums.

   
    CFBDS has agreed to pay the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commission, litigation costs or other extraordinary
costs and expenses and excluding the fees paid under the Fund's Investment
Advisory Agreement, Administrative Services Agreement, Distribution Agreements
and Shareholder Servicing Agreements). CFBDS 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, of the Fund's average daily net
assets. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, CFBDS paid expenses of the
Fund in the amount of $100,891, and the Fund paid CFBDS under this agreement the
amount of $19,388. For that fiscal year, the total expenses of the Fund were
1.75% of its average daily assets. The agreement of CFBDS to pay the ordinary
operating expenses of the Fund, as well as the obligation of the Fund to pay any
corresponding fee to CFBDS, may be terminated by either CFBDS or the Fund upon
not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days written notice.
    

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENTS, TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN

    The Trust 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 Trust may
obtain the services of an administrator, a transfer agent, a custodian, a fund
accountant and one or more Shareholder Servicing Agents, and may enter into
agreements providing for the payment of fees for such services. Under the
Trust's Administrative Services Plan, the total of the fees paid from the Fund
to the Trust's Administrator and Shareholder Servicing Agents with respect to
Class A shares 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. Distribution fees
(other than any fee concerning electronic or media advertising) paid under the
Distribution Plan with respect to the Class A shares are included in this
percentage limitation. Within this overall limitation, individual fees may
vary. Distribution fees may be used to offset the Fund's marketing costs, such
as preparation of sales literature, advertising, and printing and distributing
prospectuses and other shareholder materials to prospective investors, and to
pay costs related to distribution activities, including employee salaries,
bonuses and other overhead expenses.

    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 Trust 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 Trust 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 of
the Trust or as to a class by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of that class. The Administrative Services Plan for the Fund may
not be materially amended in any case without a vote of the majority of both
the Trustees and the Qualified Trustees.

   
    The Trust has entered into a shareholder servicing agreement (a
"Shareholder Servicing Agreement") with each Shareholder Servicing Agent
pursuant to such 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. 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. Shareholder Servicing Agents that sell
Class A shares receive a shareholder servicing fee payable on such Class A
shares at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets
represented by such Class A shares. For the fiscal years ended December 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998, the aggregate fees paid to Shareholder Servicing Agents
under the Shareholder Servicing Agreements for the Fund, after waivers, were
$83,705, $67,802 and $48,436, respectively.
    

    The Trust has also entered into a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement
with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") pursuant to which
State Street acts as transfer agent. The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has
also entered into a Custodian Agreement and a Fund Accounting Agreement with
State Street pursuant to which custodial and fund accounting services,
respectively, are provided for the Fund. Among other things, State Street
calculates the daily net asset value for the Fund. Securities may be held by a
sub-custodian bank approved by the Trustees.

    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, a custodian and a
fund accountant 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, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into a
Custodian Agreement with State Street pursuant to which custodial services are
provided for the Portfolio. The Portfolio Trust, on behalf of the Portfolio,
has also entered into a Fund Accounting Agreement with State Street Cayman
Trust Company, Ltd. ("State Street Cayman") pursuant to which State Street
Cayman provides fund accounting services for the Portfolio. State Street
Cayman also provides transfer agency services to the Portfolio Trust.

    The principal business address of State Street is 225 Franklin Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The principal business address of State Street
Cayman is P.O. Box 2508 GT Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, British West Indies.

                          9.  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 objective. 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. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and December 31,
1998, the turnover rates for the Portfolio were 99% and 118%, respectively.
The amount of brokerage commissions and realization of taxable capital gains
will tend to increase as the level of Portfolio activity increases. 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.

    In connection with the selection of brokers or dealers and the placing of
portfolio securities transactions, brokers or dealers may be selected who also
provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Fund and/or the other
accounts over which Citibank or its affiliates exercise investment discretion.
Citibank is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage
and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for
the Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or
dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if Citibank
determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such
broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that
particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which Citibank and its
affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment
discretion. The Trustees of the Trust periodically review the commissions paid
by the Fund to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods
of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund.

    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 or obtain such services
independently.

    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, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Portfolio
paid brokerage commissions in the amount of $236,514, $215,467 and $167,104,
respectively.
    

          10.  DESCRIPTION OF SHARES, VOTING RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

    The Trust's Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited
number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (par value
$0.00001 per share) of each series and to divide or combine the shares of any
series into a greater or lesser number of shares of that series without
thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests in that series and to
divide such shares into classes. The Trust has reserved the right to create
and issue additional series and classes of shares. Each share of each class
represents an equal proportionate interest in the Fund with each other share
of that class. Shares of each series of the Trust participate equally in the
earnings, dividends and distribution of net assets of the particular series
upon liquidation or dissolution (except for any differences between classes of
shares of a series). Shares of each series are entitled to vote separately to
approve advisory agreements or changes in investment policy, and shares of a
class are entitled to vote separately to approve any distribution or service
arrangements relating to that class, but shares of all series may vote
together in the election or selection of Trustees and accountants for the
Trust. In matters affecting only a particular series or class, only shares of
that series or class are 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 Trust do not have
cumulative voting rights, and shareholders owning more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of the Trust may elect all of the Trustees of the Trust if
they choose to do so and in such event the other shareholders in the Trust
would not be able to elect any Trustee. The Trust is not required to hold, and
has no present intention of holding, annual meetings of shareholders but the
Trust 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 Trust'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 Restrictions.") The
Trust's Declaration of Trust provides that, at any meeting of shareholders of
the Trust or of any series of the Trust, 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 received 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 Trust may enter into a merger or consolidation, or sell all or
substantially all of its assets (or all or substantially all of the assets
belonging to any series of the Trust), if approved by a vote of the holders of
two-thirds of the Trust's outstanding shares, voting as a single class, or of
the affected series of the Trust, as the case may be, except that if the
Trustees of the Trust recommend such sale of assets, merger or consolidation,
the approval by vote of the holders of a majority of the Trust's outstanding
shares (or the affected series) would be sufficient. The Trust or any series
of the Trust, as the case may be, may be terminated (i) by a vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust or the affected
series or (ii) by the Trustees by written notice to the shareholders of the
Trust or the affected series. If not so terminated, the Trust will continue
indefinitely.

    The Fund's transfer agent maintains a share register for shareholders of
record. Share certificates are not issued.

    The Trust 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 of the
Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or
obligations of the Trust and provides for indemnification and reimbursement of
expenses out of Trust property for any shareholder held personally liable for
the obligations of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust of the Trust also
provides that the Trust may maintain appropriate insurance (e.g., fidelity
bonding, and errors and omissions insurance) for the protection of the Trust,
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 Trust itself was unable to
meet its obligations.

    The Trust's Declaration of Trust further provides that obligations of the
Trust are not binding upon the Trustees individually but only upon the
property of the Trust and that the Trustees will not be liable for any action
or failure to act, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust of the 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 that 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.

                     11.  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 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 or other 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 Trust
believes the Portfolio 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; a
long-term capital gain realized by an individual, estate or trust may be
eligible for reduced tax rates if the shares were held for more than 18
months. 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.

    The Fund's transactions in forward contracts, short sales "against the
box," and options 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 intends to limit
its activities in forward contracts and options 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 Fund. Foreign exchange gains and losses realized by the Fund will
generally be treated as ordinary income and loss. Use of non-U.S. currencies
for non-hedging purposes may be limited in order to avoid a tax on the Fund.
The Fund may elect to mark to market any investments in "passive foreign
investment companies" on the last day of each taxable year. This election may
cause the Fund to recognize ordinary income prior to the receipt of cash
payments with respect to those investments; in order to distribute this income
and avoid a tax on the Fund, the Fund may be required to liquidate portfolio
securities that it might otherwise have continued to hold. Investment in
certain "passive foreign investment companies" may also be limited in order to
avoid a tax on the Fund. Investment income received by the Fund from non-U.S.
securities may be subject to non-U.S. taxes. The United States has entered
into tax treaties with many other countries that may entitle the Fund to a
reduced rate of tax or an exemption from tax on such income. The Fund intends
to qualify for treaty reduced rates where available. It is not possible,
however, to determine the Fund's effective rates of non-U.S. tax in advance
since the amount of the Fund'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 its 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.
    

    The Fund will withhold tax payments at the rate of 30% (or any lower rate
permitted under an applicable treaty) on taxable dividends and other payments
subject to withholding taxes that are made to persons who are not citizens or
residents of the United States. Distributions received from the Fund by non-
U.S. persons also may be subject to tax under the laws of their own
jurisdiction.

    The account application asks each new shareholder to certify that the
shareholder's Social Security or taxpayer identification number is correct and
that the shareholder is not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If a shareholder fails to provide this information,
or otherwise violates IRS regulations, the Fund may be required to withhold
tax at the rate of 31% on certain distributions and redemption proceeds paid
to that shareholder. Backup withholding will not, however, be applied to
payments that have been subject to 30% withholding.

                     12.  CERTAIN 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
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 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.
