Aetna Bond Fund seeks to provide as high a level of total return (i.e., income
and capital appreciation) as is consistent with reasonable risk, primarily
through investment in a diversified portfolio of investment grade corporate
bonds and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities.

[bullet] The following should be added at the end of the subsection "What Funds
         are Offered?" on page 4 of the Prospectus:

The Company is soliciting a proxy from shareholders of the Asian Growth Fund to
approve a Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation whereby the assets of the Asian
Growth Fund would be transferred to the International Growth Fund and the Asian
Growth Fund would be liquidated. Shareholders of the Asian Growth Fund would
receive shares of the International Growth Fund. If the Plan is approved, the
reorganization is expected to occur on approximately September 28, 1996 or as
soon after that date as the reorganization can reasonably be accomplished.

Funds. Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (Aeltus) has been serving as the
subadviser to the Growth Fund and the Small Company Growth Fund since their
inception. Aeltus was named the subadviser of all the other Funds issued by the
Company effective August 1, 1996 when ALIAC merged its investment management
operations into those of its affiliate, Aeltus. ALIAC and Aeltus are both
indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc., which is

return (i.e., income and capital appreciation) as is consistent with reasonable
risk, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of investment
grade corporate bonds and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

Investment Policies. The Bond Fund will normally invest at least 65% of its
total assets in high grade corporate bonds, mortgage- related and other
asset-backed and debt securities, and securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. "High grade securities" are
securities rated A or above by Standard & Poor's, or by Moody's, similarly rated
by other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, or considered
to be of comparable quality.

Fund since their inception, and became the subadviser for the remaining Funds on

(bullet) The following replaces the first two paragraphs in the section entitled
         "The Investment Advisory Contract" on page 15 of the Statement and on
         page 17, the last two paragraphs of that section are deleted:

                        INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Company, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into investment advisory
agreements (Advisory Agreements) appointing ALIAC as the Investment Adviser of
each Fund. These Advisory Agreements were adopted by the Board of Directors in
February 1996 and approved by the shareholders in July 1996. Each Advisory
Agreement is effective through December 31, 1997. The Advisory Agreements will
remain in effect thereafter if approved at least annually by a majority of the
Directors, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested
persons" of the Fund, at a meeting, called for that purpose, and held in person.
Each Advisory Agreement may be terminated without penalty at any time by the
Directors or by a majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of that
Fund. They may be terminated on sixty days' written notice by ALIAC. The
Advisory Agreements terminate automatically in the event of assignment. The
Advisory Agreements replace investment advisory agreements with ALIAC that were
approved by shareholders in April 1994. Under the Advisory Agreements and
subject to the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company, ALIAC has
responsibility for supervising all aspects of the operations of each Fund
including the selection, purchase and sale of securities on behalf of each Fund,
the calculation of net asset values and the preparation of financial and other
reports as requested by the Board. Under the Advisory Agreements, ALIAC is given
the right to delegate any or all of its obligations to a subadviser.

The Advisory Agreements provide that ALIAC is responsible for payment of all
costs of its personnel, its overhead and of its employees who also serve as
officers or Directors of the Company and each Fund is responsible for payment of
all other of its costs.

(bullet) The following replaces the section entitled "Sub-Advisory Agreements"
         on pages 17 and 18 of the Statement:

                            SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS

ALIAC and the Company, on behalf of each Fund, except for Asian Growth Fund,
have entered into subadvisory agreements ("Subadvisory Agreements") with Aeltus
Investment Management, Inc. (Aeltus) effective August 1, 1996. These Subadvisory
Agreements were adopted by the Board of Directors in February 1996 and approved
by the shareholders in July 1996. Each Subadvisory Agreement will be effective
through December 31, 1997. The Subadvisory Agreements will remain in effect
thereafter if approved at least annually by a majority of the Directors,
including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons" of the
Company, at a meeting, called for that purpose, and held in person. The
Subadvisory Agreements may be terminated without penalty at any time by the
Directors or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or
they may be terminated on sixty days' written notice by the Adviser, the Company
or the Subadviser. The Subadvisory Agreements terminate automatically in the
event of their assignment.

For Aetna Small Company Fund and Aetna Growth Fund, the Subadvisory Agreements
replace subadvisory agreements with Aeltus that had been approved by
shareholders in 1994. Those agreements were substantially the same as the new
agreements. Under both the old and the new Subadvisory Agreements, Aeltus is
responsible for managing the assets of each Fund in accordance with its
investment objectives and policies, subject to the supervision of ALIAC, the
Company and the Directors, and for preparing and providing accounting and
financial information as requested by the Adviser and the Directors. The
Subadviser pays the salaries, employment benefits and other related costs of its
personnel.

For its services, ALIAC has agreed to pay the Subadviser a monthly fee at an
annual rate based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows. This
fee is not charged to the Company but is paid by ALIAC out of its investment
advisory fees.

ALIAC, as the Investment Adviser, retains overall responsibility for monitoring
the investment program maintained by Aeltus for compliance with applicable laws
and regulations and each Fund's investment objectives and policies.

(bullet) The following new section is added at the end of the section "The
         Administrative Services Agreement" on page 18 of the Statement:

                              LICENSE AGREEMENT

The Company uses the service mark of each Fund and the name "Aetna" with the
permission of Aetna Life and Casualty Company granted under a License Agreement.
The continued use is subject to the right of Aetna Life and Casualty Company to
withdraw this permission in the event ALIAC or another subsidiary or affiliated
corporation of Aetna Life and Casualty Company should not be the investment
adviser of the Funds.
