                     SUPPLEMENT TO STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

                                  July 26, 2000

Dear Investor,

      The purpose of this  supplement  is to revise the fifth full  paragraph on
page 3 of the Statement of Additional Information dated December 10, 1999 to add
disclosure about the fund's ability to invest in securities issued by government
agencies or repurchase  agreements  collateralized by U.S. government securities
for its cash investments. The paragraph, as revised, reads as follows:

            For its bond investments,  Tactical  Allocation Fund seeks to invest
            in U.S. Treasury notes having five years remaining until maturity at
            the  beginning of the  calendar  year when the  investment  is made.
            However, if those instruments are not available at favorable prices,
            the fund may invest in U.S.  Treasury  notes with  either  remaining
            maturities  as close as possible to five years or overall  durations
            that are as close as possible  to the  duration  of  five-year  U.S.
            Treasury notes.

            Similarly, for its cash investments,  Tactical Allocation Fund seeks
            to invest in U.S.  Treasury  bills with  remaining  maturities of 30
            days.  However,  if those instruments are not available at favorable
            prices,  the fund may invest in U.S. Treasury bills that have either
            remaining  maturities  as close as  possible  to 30 days or  overall
            durations  that are as close as possible  to the  duration of 30-day
            U.S.  Treasury  bills.  The fund may hold U.S.  Treasury  bills that
            mature prior to the first  business day of the following  month when
            Mitchell  Hutchins  determines  the monthly asset  allocation of the
            fund's assets based on Tactical  Allocation Model's  recommendation.
            If,  in  Mitchell  Hutchins'  judgment,  it is  not  practicable  to
            reinvest the proceeds in U.S. Treasury bills,  Mitchell Hutchins may
            invest  the  fund's  cash  assets  in  securities   with   remaining
            maturities  of 30 days or less that are issued or guaranteed by U.S.
            government   agencies  or   instrumentalities   and  in   repurchase
            agreements  collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the
            U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
