investment advisor- Standish, Ayer. PIMCO employs
all "top-down" and "bottom-up" investment
techniques while Standish, Ayer employs sector rotation and credit analysis.

? An amendment to the Trust's investment policies to permit
Julius Baer, the investment advisor to International Fixed Income Portfolio
to invest in emerging markets debt. Emerging market debt
instruments may enhance the International Fixed Income Portfolio's
performance and maintain
diversification of the International Fixed Income Portfolio;
however, their use involves certain
risks that may not be found in other mutual fund investments.
Julius Baer is authorized to invest up to 10% of the
International Fixed Income Portfolio's net assets in this type of debt
instrument.
? An amendment to the Trust's investment policies to permit
Seix Investment Advisors ("Seix"), an investment advisor to
Balanced Investments ("Balanced Portfolio") to invest in mortgage related
securities and forward roll transactions. Since Seix uses the
Lehman Aggregate Index which contains mortgage related securities,
as its benchmark, Seix needs the capability to invest in
mortgage related securities. The ability to participate in
forward roll transactions may enhance
the Balanced Portfolio's current income.
On December 17, 1998 the Trust's Board of Trustees approved the following:
? The termination of Palley-Needelman as investment advisor to
the Balanced Portfolio. Palley-Needelman will be replaced with
Laurel Capital Advisors, LLP ("Laurel Capital") who will manage the
equity portion of the Balanced Portfolio and Seix who will
manage the fixed-income portion of the Balanced Portfolio.
Laurel Capital and Seix will manage approximately 60% and 40% respectively of
the Balanced Portfolio's assets. Laurel Capital will seek
the Balanced Portfolio's investment objective of total return
by investing primarily in common stocks that are undervalued and which
exhibit improving earnings momentum. Laurel Capital will attempt
to remain fully invested, while
maintaining sector weightings similar to the S&P 500 Index.
Seix combines traditional research with proprietary analysis
that seeks to identify undervalued fixed-income securities such as U.S.
government securities and corporate bonds. Seix places an emphasis
on those securities that have a potential for income while
maintaining a duration that is approximately equal to the Lehman
Aggregate Index. Pursuant to investment advisory agreements
entered into between the Trust's Manager, SSBC (formerly MMC)
and Laurel Capital and Seix, Laurel Capital and Seix will receive
0.30% and 0.25% respectively, a fee that is computed daily and
paid monthly based on the value of the average net assets of the
Balanced Portfolio allocated to each advisor. Laurel Capital, located in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is an affiliate of
The Mellon Bank and currently manages approximately $13 billion
in assets. Seix, located in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey manages
approximately $3.6 billion in assets.
? The hiring of Barclays Global Fund Advisors ("Barclays") as
an additional investment advisor to
Large Capitalization Value Equity Investments
("Large Capitalization Value Portfolio"). The Consulting Group,
a division of SSBC (formerly MMC), recommended Barclays as an
additional advisor because it was determined that their pure index
investment style would complement the investment style of the Portfolio's other
investment advisors- TBCAM and Parametric. The hiring of Barclays
resulted in the entering into of an investment advisory agreement
dated January 4, 1999 between SSBC (formerly MMC) and Barclays.
Under the terms of the agreement, Barclays will be receiving a
fee of 0.02% that is computed daily and paid monthly based on the
value of the average net assets of the
Large Capitalization Value Portfolio allocated to Barclays.
With the hiring of Barclays, the structure of the
Large Capitalization Value Portfolio will be as follows: Parametric 55%;
TBCAM 20% and Barclays 25%.
? A new investment advisory agreement between SSBC (formerly MMC)
and Provident reflecting a decrease in the advisory fee paid
by SSBC to Provident on behalf of Large Capitalization Growth
Investments ("Large Capitalization Growth Portfolio").

0.30% of the first $100 million and 0.25% thereafter on
the assets of the Large Capitalization Growth Portfolio
