Equity Appreciation Fund
SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS DATED JANUARY 31, 1999
THE FOLLOWING SUPPLEMENTS THE SECTION "MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND" IN THE FUND'S
PROSPECTUS:
On March 11, 1999, Bankers Trust announced that it had reached an agreement with
the United States Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York to
resolve an investigation concerning inappropriate transfers of unclaimed funds
and related record-keeping problems that occurred between 1994 and early 1996.
Pursuant to its agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office, Bankers Trust pleaded
guilty to misstating entries in the bank's books and records and agreed to pay a
$60 million fine to federal authorities. Separately, Bankers Trust agreed to pay
a $3.5 million fine to the State of New York. The events leading up to the
guilty pleas did not arise out of the investment advisory or mutual fund
management activities of Bankers Trust or its affiliates.
As a result of the plea, absent an order from the SEC, Bankers Trust would not
be able to continue to provide investment advisory services to the Fund. The SEC
has granted a temporary order to permit Bankers Trust and its affiliates to
continue to provide investment advisory services to registered investment
companies. There is no assurance that the SEC will grant a permanent order.
