GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

GENERAL INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each GT Global Variable Investment Fund is organized as a separate series of
either G.T. Global Variable Investment Series or G.T. Global Variable Investment
Trust. (G.T. Global Variable Investment Series and G.T. Global Variable
Investment Trust are referred to herein collectively as the "Companies," and may
be referred to singularly as a "Company"). Each Company is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an open-end management investment
company. See "Other Information." Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for
certain matters under the 1940 Act and for other purposes, including federal
income tax purposes. A shareholder of one Fund is not deemed to be a shareholder
of any other Fund.

The GT Global Variable Investment Funds are mutual funds that serve as funding
vehicles for the VA Contracts offered by Participating Insurance Companies
through separate accounts. Shares of the Funds may be offered to separate
accounts of Participating Insurance Companies and serve as the underlying
investments for VA Contracts ("shared funding"). Due to differences in tax
treatment or other considerations, the interests of various VA Contract holders
might at some time be in conflict. The Companies currently do not foresee any
such conflict. However, the Companies' Board of Trustees intends to monitor
events to identify any material irreconcilable conflict that may arise and to
determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to such conflict. If
such a conflict were to occur, one or more Participating Insurance Companies'
separate accounts might be required to withdraw all or a substantial portion of
its investments in one or more Funds. This might disrupt a Fund's orderly
portfolio management to the potential detriment of VA Contract holders.

The following Funds are organized as series of G.T. Global Variable Investment
Series:

- - GT Global Variable New Pacific Fund

- - GT Global Variable Europe Fund

- - GT Global Variable America Fund

- - GT Global Variable International Fund

- - GT Global Money Market Fund

The following Funds are organized as series of G.T. Global Variable Investment
Trust:

- - GT Global Variable Latin America Fund

- - GT Global Variable Infrastructure Fund

- - GT Global Variable Natural Resources Fund

- - GT Global Variable Telecommunications Fund

- - GT Global Variable Growth & Income Fund

- - GT Global Variable Strategic Income Fund

- - GT Global Variable Emerging Markets Fund

- - GT Global Variable Global Government Income Fund

- - GT Global Variable U.S. Government Income Fund

The VA Contracts are described in a separate prospectus issued by each
Participating Insurance Company for which the Companies assume no
responsibility. Individual VA Contract holders are not the "shareholders" of
either Company or any Fund. Rather, each Participating Insurance Company and its
separate accounts are the shareholders (the "shareholders"). In accordance with
current law, shareholder voting rights will be passed on to VA Contract holders.
As described below, for certain matters Company shareholders vote together as a
group; as to other matters, they vote separately by Fund.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund has its own investment objective(s) and investment policies. The
objective(s) and policies of each Fund determine the types of securities in
which that Fund may invest, and will affect both the investment return and the
degree of risk to which that Fund is subject. There can be no assurance that any
Fund will achieve its investment objective(s).

GLOBAL GROWTH FUNDS

The investment objective of each of the New Pacific Fund, the Europe Fund, the
International Fund, and the America Fund (collectively, "Global Growth Funds")
listed below is long-term growth of capital. Each Global Growth Fund seeks this
objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total
assets in equity securities of issuers domiciled in that Fund's "Primary
Investment Area." Equity securities in which the Global Growth Funds may invest
include common stocks, preferred stocks and warrants to acquire such securities.

The Primary Investment Areas of the Global Growth Funds are as follows:

NEW PACIFIC FUND -- Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the
Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.

EUROPE FUND -- Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

INTERNATIONAL FUND -- all countries listed for each other Global Growth Fund,
and Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Japan, Mexico, and Venezuela, but not the
United States.

AMERICA FUND -- the United States.

Each Global Growth Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in the securities of
issuers domiciled outside of the relevant Primary Investment Area, including:
(a) securities of issuers in countries that are linked by tradition, economic
markets, cultural similarities or geography to the countries in the Primary
Investment Area; and (b) securities of issuers located elsewhere in the world
which have operations in the relevant Primary Investment Area or which stand to
benefit from political and economic events in the Primary Investment Area.

In managing the Global Growth Funds, LGT Asset Management seeks to identify
those countries and industries where economic and political factors, including
currency movements, are likely to produce above-average growth rates. LGT Asset
Management further attempts to identify those companies in such countries and
industries that are best positioned and managed to take advantage of these
economic and political factors. LGT Asset Management intends to invest in such
countries and industries only after balancing the potential for growth of
selected companies in each market relative to the risks of investing in each
such country. Among the factors to be considered are that several of the markets
included in the relevant countries of the New Pacific Fund, the Europe Fund and
the International Fund are so-called developing markets, i.e., less developed
and more prone to uncertainty, instability and risk than the other markets in
which those Funds invest. Under ordinary circumstances, the assets of the
International Fund are invested in the equity securities of issuers domiciled in
at least three different countries. The America Fund currently expects to invest
a majority of its assets in the securities of mid and small-sized companies. In
selecting securities for inclusion in the America Fund's portfolio, the Fund's
managers initially focus on companies with a total equity market capitalization
of $2 billion or less.

Up to 35% of each Global Growth Fund's assets may be invested in convertible
bonds and debt securities. The Global Growth Funds will limit their purchases of
debt securities to obligations rated no lower than investment grade, i.e., rated
no lower than Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or BBB by
Standard & Poor's ("S&P"), or if unrated determined by LGT Asset Management to
be of equivalent quality. See "Description of Debt Ratings" in the Statement of
Additional Information for a full description of S&P's and Moody's ratings. The
Global Growth Funds may also use instruments (including forward currency
contracts) often

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

referred to as "derivatives." See "Currency, Options and Futures Strategies."

Because the development of the world's economies and stock markets is rapidly
evolving, from time to time the Board of Trustees may redefine a Global Growth
Fund's Primary Investment Area. For example, on July 5, 1994, Japan was
eliminated from the Primary Investment Area of the New Pacific Fund.

INFRASTRUCTURE FUND

The INFRASTRUCTURE FUND'S investment objective is long-term capital growth. The
Infrastructure Fund seeks its objective by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies throughout the world that design, develop or provide
products and services significant to a country's infrastructure. The
Infrastructure Fund invests in infrastructure companies which, in the opinion of
LGT Asset Management, have potential for above average, long-term growth in
sales and earnings on a sustained basis.

At least 65% of the Infrastructure Fund's total assets normally will be invested
in common stocks and preferred stocks and warrants to acquire such securities
issued by infrastructure companies. An "infrastructure" company is an entity in
which (i) at least 50% of either the revenues or earnings was derived from
infrastructure activities, or (ii) at least 50% of the assets was devoted to
such activities, based on the company's most recent fiscal year. The remainder
of the Infrastructure Fund's assets may be invested in debt securities issued by
infrastructure companies and/or equity and debt securities of companies outside
of the infrastructure industries which, in the opinion of LGT Asset Management,
stand to benefit from developments in the infrastructure industries.

The Infrastructure Fund will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in
debt securities rated below investment grade. Investment in non-investment grade
securities involves a high degree of risk and can be speculative. These debt
securities are the equivalent of high yield, high risk bonds, commonly known as
"junk bonds." See "Risk Factors" for a complete discussion.

The Infrastructure Fund may invest substantially in securities denominated in
one or more currencies. Under normal conditions, the Infrastructure Fund invests
in the securities of issuers located in at least three different countries,
including the United States. Investments in securities of issuers in any one
country, other than the United States, will represent no more than 50% of the
Fund's assets. The Infrastructure Fund may also use instruments (including
forward currency contracts) often referred to as "derivatives." See "Currency,
Options and Futures Strategies."

In analyzing companies for investment by the Infrastructure Fund, LGT Asset
Management ordinarily looks for several of the following characteristics:
above-average per share earnings growth; high return on invested capital; a
healthy balance sheet; sound financial and accounting policies and overall
financial strength; strong competitive advantages; effective research and
product development and marketing; development of new technologies; efficient
service; pricing flexibility; strong management; and general operating
characteristics which will enable the companies to compete successfully in their
respective markets.

For purposes of the Infrastructure Fund's policy of investing at least 65% of
its total assets in the securities of infrastructure companies, the companies in
which the Infrastructure Fund will principally invest will be those engaged in
designing, developing or providing the following products and services:
electricity production; oil, gas, and coal exploration, development, production
and distribution; water supply, including water treatment facilities; nuclear
power and other alternative energy sources; transportation, including the
construction or operation of transportation systems; steel, concrete, or similar
types of products; communications equipment and services (including equipment
and services for both data and voice transmission); mobile communications and
cellular radio/paging; emerging technologies combining telephone, television
and/or computer systems; and other products and services which, in LGT Asset
Management's judgment, constitute services significant to the development of a
country's infrastructure. In addition, long-term growth rates of certain foreign
countries' economies may be substantially higher than those of the U.S. economy.
An integral aspect of the foreign countries' economies may be the development or
improvement of their infrastructure.

LGT Asset Management believes that a country's infrastructure is one key to the
long-term success

---------------------

Prospectus Page 11
<PAGE> 13

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

of that country's economy. LGT Asset Management believes that adequate energy,
transportation, water, and communications systems are essential elements for
long-term economic growth. LGT Asset Management believes that many developing
nations, especially in Asia and Latin America, plan to make significant
expenditures to the development of their infrastructure in the coming years,
which is expected to facilitate increased levels of services and manufactured
goods.

In the developed countries of North America, Europe, Japan and the south
Pacific, LGT Asset Management expects that the replacement and upgrade of
transportation and communications systems should stimulate growth in the
industries of those countries. In LGT Asset Management's view, deregulation of
telecommunications and electric and gas utilities in many countries is promoting
significant changes in these industries.

LGT Asset Management believes that strong economic growth in developing
countries and infrastructure replacement, upgrade, and deregulation in more
developed countries provide an environment for favorable investment
opportunities in infrastructure companies worldwide.

NATURAL RESOURCES FUND

The NATURAL RESOURCES FUND'S investment objective is long-term capital growth.
The Natural Resources Fund seeks its objective by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies throughout the world that own, explore or develop
natural resources and other basic commodities, or supply goods and services to
such companies. The Natural Resources Fund expects to invest in those natural
resource companies which include those that own, explore or develop energy
sources, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, strategic metals and precious metals,
chemicals, forest products, foodstuffs, refined products, such as steel, and
other basic commodities, which, in LGT Asset Management's opinion, historically
have been produced and marketed profitably during periods of improving supply
and demand fundamentals and rising inflation. The Natural Resources Fund invests
in natural resource companies which, in the opinion of LGT Asset Management,
have potential for above average, long-term growth in sales and earnings.

At least 65% of the Natural Resources Fund's total assets will normally be
invested in common stock and preferred stock, and warrants to acquire such
securities, issued by natural resource companies. A "natural resource" company
is an entity in which (i) at least 50% of either the revenues or earnings was
derived from natural resource activities, or (ii) at least 50% of the assets was
devoted to such activities, based upon the company's most recent fiscal year.
The remainder of the Natural Resources Fund's assets may be invested in debt
securities issued by natural resource companies and/or equity and debt
securities of companies outside of the natural resource industries which, in the
opinion of LGT Asset Management, stand to benefit from developments in the
natural resource industries.

The Natural Resources Fund will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in
debt securities rated below investment grade. Investment in non-investment grade
debt securities involves a high degree of risk and can be speculative. These
debt securities are the equivalent of high yield, high risk bonds, commonly
known as "junk bonds." See "Risk Factors" for a more complete discussion.

The Natural Resources Fund may invest substantially in securities denominated in
one or more currencies. Under normal conditions, the Natural Resources Fund
invests in the securities of issuers located in at least three different
countries, including the United States. Investments in securities of issuers in
any one country, other than the United States, will represent no more than 50%
of the Fund's assets. The Natural Resources Fund may also use instruments
(including forward currency contracts) often referred to as "derivatives." See
"Currency, Options and Futures Strategies."

The Natural Resources Fund may invest in securities of companies in those
natural resource industries and commodity groups which, in LGT Asset
Management's opinion, may perform well during periods of rising inflation. In
analyzing such companies for possible investment by the Natural Resources Fund,
LGT Asset Management ordinarily looks for several of the following
characteristics: above-average per share earnings growth; high return on
invested capital; a healthy balance sheet; sound financial and accounting
policies and overall financial strength; strong competitive advantages;
development of new technologies; efficient service; strong management; and
general operating characteristics which will enable the companies to compete
successfully in their respective markets.

---------------------

Prospectus Page 12

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

The natural resource industries are comprised of a variety of companies. For
purposes of the Natural Resources Fund's policy of investing of at least 65% of
its total assets in the securities of natural resource companies, the companies
in which the Natural Resources Fund will principally invest will be those which
own, explore or develop: energy sources (such as oil, gas and coal); ferrous and
non-ferrous metals (such as iron, aluminum, copper, nickel, zinc and lead),
strategic metals (such as uranium and titanium) and precious metals (such as
gold, silver and platinum); chemicals; forest products (such as timber, coated
and uncoated tree sheet, pulp and newsprint); other basic commodities (such as
foodstuffs); refined products (such as chemicals and steel) and service
companies that sell to these producers and refiners; and other products and
services which, in LGT Asset Management's opinion are significant to the
ownership and development of natural resources and other basic commodities.

LGT Asset Management will allocate the Natural Resources Fund's investments
among those natural resource companies depending on its assessment of their
long-term growth potential. In assessing these companies' long-term growth
potential, LGT Asset Management will evaluate, among other factors, their
capabilities for expanded exploration and production, superior exploration
programs and production techniques and facilities, current inventories, expected
production and demand levels, and the potential to accumulate new resources.

LGT Asset Management believes that the liberalization of formerly socialist
economies will bring about dramatic changes in both the supply and demand for
natural resources. In addition, rapid industrialization in developing countries
of Asia and Latin America are generating new demands for industrial materials
which are affecting world commodities markets. LGT Asset Management believes
these changes are likely to create investment opportunities which benefit from
new sources of supply and/or from changes in commodities prices.

LGT Asset Management believes that investments in natural resource industries
offer an opportunity to protect wealth against the capital-eroding effects of
inflation. During periods of accelerating inflation or currency uncertainty,
worldwide investment demand for natural resources, particularly precious metals,
tends to increase, and during periods of disinflation or currency stability, it
tends to decrease. LGT Asset Management believes that rising commodity prices
and increasing worldwide industrial production may favorably affect share prices
of natural resource companies, and investments in such companies can offer
excellent opportunities to offset the effects of inflation.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND

The TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND seeks long-term growth of capital as its investment
objective. In seeking that objective, the Telecommunications Fund normally
invests at least 65% of its total assets in common and preferred stocks and
warrants to acquire such stocks issued by telecommunications companies. A
"telecommunications company" is an entity which (i) derives at least 50% of
either its revenues or earnings from telecommunications activities, or (ii)
devotes at least 50% of its assets to telecommunications activities, based on
the company's most recent fiscal year.

Up to 35% of the Telecommunications Fund's assets may be invested in debt
securities issued by telecommunications companies, and/or in equity and debt
securities of companies outside of the telecommunications industry which, in the
opinion of LGT Asset Management, stand to benefit from developments in the
telecommunications industry. LGT Asset Management will allocate the
Telecommunications Fund's assets among securities of countries and in currency
denominations and industry sectors where opportunities for meeting the Fund's
investment objective are expected to be the most attractive. The
Telecommunications Fund may invest substantially in securities denominated in
one or more currencies. Under normal conditions, the Telecommunications Fund
invests in the securities of issuers located in at least three different
countries, including the United States. Investments in securities of issuers in
any one country, other than the United States, will represent no more than 40%
of the Fund's assets. The Telecommunications Fund may also use instruments
(including forward currency contracts) often referred to as "derivatives." See
"Currency, Options and Futures Strategies."

The telecommunications industry is comprised of a variety of sectors, ranging
from companies concentrating on established technologies to those primarily
engaged in emerging or

---------------------

Prospectus Page 13

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

developing technologies. The characteristics of companies focusing on the same
technology will vary among countries depending upon the extent to which the
technology is established in the particular country. LGT Asset Management will
allocate the Telecommunications Fund's investments among these sectors depending
upon its assessment of their relative long-term growth potentials.

For purposes of the Telecommunications Fund's policy of investing at least 65%
of its total assets in the securities of telecommunications companies, the
companies in which the Fund will invest are those engaged in designing,
developing or providing the following products and services: communications
equipment and services (including equipment and services for both data and voice
transmission); electronic components and equipment; broadcasting (including
television and radio, satellite, microwave and cable television and
narrowcasting); computer equipment, mobile communications and cellular
radio/paging; electronic mail; local and wide area networking and linkage of
word and data processing systems; publishing and information systems; videotext
and teletext; and emerging technologies combining telephone, television and/or
computer systems.

The Telecommunications Fund expects that, from time to time, a significant
portion of its assets may be invested in the securities of domestic issuers.
Telecommunications, however, is a global industry with significant, growing
markets outside of the United States. A sizeable proportion of the companies
which comprise the telecommunications industry are headquartered outside of the
United States. The communication and use of information using existing and
developing technology increasingly is permeating global civilization.

For these reasons, LGT Asset Management believes that a portfolio comprised only
of securities of U.S. issuers does not provide the greatest potential for return
from a telecommunications investment. LGT Asset Management uses its financial
expertise in markets located throughout the world and the substantial global
resources of LGT Asset Management in attempting to identify those countries and
telecommunications companies then providing the greatest potential for long-term
capital appreciation. In this fashion, LGT Asset Management and the
Telecommunications Fund seek to enable shareholders to capitalize on the
substantial investment opportunities and the potential for long-term growth of
capital presented by the global telecommunications industry.

LATIN AMERICA FUND

The LATIN AMERICA FUND'S investment objective is capital appreciation. In
seeking that objective, the Latin America Fund normally invests at least 65% of
its total assets in a broad range of securities of Latin American issuers.
Consistent with its investment objective and policies, the Latin America Fund
may invest in common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants and securities
convertible into common stock, and other substantially similar forms of equity
with comparable risk characteristics, as well as bonds, notes, debentures or
other forms of indebtedness that may be developed in the future. These
securities may be listed on securities exchanges, traded in various
over-the-counter ("OTC") markets or have no organized market.

Up to 35% of the Latin America Fund's total assets may be invested in a
combination of equity and debt securities of U.S. issuers. In evaluating
investments in securities of U.S. issuers, LGT Asset Management will consider,
among other things, the issuer's Latin American business activities and the
impact that developments in Latin America may have on the issuer's results. The
Latin America Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in debt securities. There
are no credit quality limitations placed on the debt securities in which the
Latin America Fund may invest, and some or all of such debt securities may be
the equivalent of high yield, high risk bonds, commonly known as "junk bonds."
The Latin America Fund may also use instruments (including forward currency
contracts) often referred to as "derivatives." See "Currency, Options and
Futures Strategies."

The Latin America Fund purchases equity and debt securities in seeking its
objective of capital appreciation. Capital appreciation in debt securities may
arise as a result of a favorable change in relative foreign exchange rates, in
relative interest rate levels, or in the credit worthiness of issuers. The
receipt of income from such debt securities is incidental to the Latin America
Fund's objective of capital appreciation.

---------------------

Prospectus Page 14
<PAGE> 16

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

The Latin America Fund defines securities of Latin American issuers as the
following: (a) securities of companies organized under the laws of a Latin
American country or for which the principal trading market is in Latin America;
(b) securities issued or guaranteed by the government of a country in Latin
America, its agencies or instrumentalities, or municipalities, or the central
bank of such country; (c) U.S. dollar-denominated securities or securities
denominated in a Latin American currency issued by companies to finance
operations in Latin America; (d) securities of companies that derive at least
50% of their revenues from either goods or services produced in Latin America or
sales made in Latin America; and (e) securities of Latin American issuers, as
defined herein, in the form of depositary shares. For purposes of the foregoing
definition, the Latin America Fund's purchases of securities issued by companies
outside of Latin America to finance their Latin American operations will be
limited to securities the performance of which is materially related to such
company's Latin American activities. For purposes of this Prospectus, unless
otherwise indicated, the Latin America Fund defines Latin America to consist of
the following countries: Argentina, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia,
Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador,
French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, the
Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and
Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela.

The extent of the Latin America Fund's holdings in any Latin American country
will vary from time to time, based upon LGT Asset Management's judgment as to
where the greatest investment opportunities then lie. In allocating investments
among the various Latin American markets, LGT Asset Management looks principally
at the stage of industrialization, potential for productivity gains through
economic deregulation, the impact of financial liberalization and monetary
conditions and the political outlook in each country. Under current market
conditions the Latin America Fund intends to invest primarily in securities
issued by companies and governments in Mexico, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina,
which currently have the most developed capital markets in Latin America. The
Latin America Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in any of these four
countries but does not expect to invest more than 50% of its total assets in any
one country. The portion of the Latin America Fund's total assets invested
directly in Chile may be less than the portions invested in other Latin American
countries at present. Due to onerous repatriation restrictions, investment by
the Fund in Chile for practical purposes is limited to investment in other
investment funds which purchase securities of Chilean issuers. The Fund's
investment in Chile will not likely exceed 15% of its total assets. The Latin
America Fund's investment in Latin American debt securities may consist
substantially of Brady Bonds and other sovereign debt securities issued by Latin
American governments. "Sovereign debt securities" are those debt securities
issued by Latin American governments, and other emerging market governments,
that are traded in the markets of developed countries or groups of developed
countries. See "Investment Objectives and Policies -- Other Investment
Information."

EMERGING MARKETS FUND

The EMERGING MARKETS FUND'S investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
Under normal circumstances, the Emerging Markets Fund seeks its objective by
investing at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of companies in
emerging markets. The Emerging Markets Fund may invest in the following types of
equity securities: common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into
common stock and rights and warrants to acquire such securities and
substantially similar forms of equity with comparable risk characteristics.
These securities may be listed on securities exchanges, traded in various
over-the-counter ("OTC") markets, or have no organized market.

For purposes of the Emerging Markets Fund's operations, "emerging markets" will
consist of all countries determined by LGT Asset Management to have developing
or emerging economies and markets. These countries generally include every
country in the world except the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New
Zealand and most countries located in Western Europe. See "Investment Objectives
and Policies" in the Statement of Additional Information for a complete list of
all the countries which the Emerging Markets Fund does not consider to be
emerging markets.

which LGT Asset Management believes have strongly developing economies and in
which the markets are becoming more sophisticated. For purposes of the Emerging
Markets Fund's policy of normally investing at least 65% of its total assets in
equity securities of issuers in emerging markets, the Emerging Markets Fund will
consider investment in the following emerging markets:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Algeria Malaysia
Argentina Mexico
Bolivia Morocco
Botswana Nicaragua
Brazil Nigeria
Chile Pakistan
China Panama
Colombia Peru
Costa Rica Philippines
Czech Republic Poland
Ecuador Portugal
Egypt Russia
Finland Singapore

Hungary Sri Lanka
India Taiwan
Indonesia Thailand
Israel Turkey
Ivory Coast Uruguay
Jamaica Venezuela
Jordan Zimbabwe

</TABLE>

Although the Emerging Markets Fund considers each of the above-listed countries
eligible for investment pursuant to the above described 65% of total assets
investment policy, the Emerging Markets Fund will not be invested in all such
markets at all times. Moreover, investing in some of those markets currently may
not be desirable or feasible, due to the lack of adequate custody arrangements
for the Emerging Markets Fund's assets, overly burdensome repatriation and
similar restrictions, the lack of organized and liquid securities markets,
unacceptable political risks or for other reasons.

As used in this Prospectus, a company in an emerging market is an entity: (i)
for which the principal securities trading market is an emerging market, as
defined above; (ii) that (alone or on a consolidated basis) derives 50% or more
of its total revenue from either goods produced, sales made or services
performed in emerging markets; or (iii) organized under the laws of, and with a
principal office in, an emerging market.

In managing the Emerging Markets Fund, LGT Asset Management seeks to identify
those countries and industries where economic and political factors, including
currency movements, are likely to produce above-average growth rates. LGT Asset
Management then seeks to invest in those companies in such countries and
industries that are best positioned and managed to take advantage of these
economic and political factors. The assets of the Emerging Markets Fund
ordinarily will be invested in the securities of issuers in at least three
different emerging markets. The Emerging Markets Fund may invest up to 15% of
its net assets in illiquid securities.

The Emerging Markets Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in a
combination of (i) debt securities of government or corporate issuers in
emerging markets; (ii) equity and debt securities of issuers in developed
countries, including the United States; (iii) securities of issuers in emerging
markets not included in the list of emerging markets above, if investing therein
becomes feasible and desirable subsequent to the date of this Prospectus; and
(iv) cash and money market instruments. In evaluating investments in securities
of issuers in developed markets, LGT Asset Management will consider, among other
things, the business activities of the issuer in emerging markets and the impact
that developments in emerging markets are likely to have on the issuer.

Capital appreciation in debt securities in which the Emerging Markets Fund
invests may arise as a result of favorable changes in relative foreign exchange
rates, in relative interest rate levels and/or in the creditworthiness of
issuers. The receipt of income from debt securities owned by the Emerging
Markets Fund is incidental to the Emerging Markets Fund's objective of long-term
growth of capital.

The Emerging Markets Fund may invest in debt securities of both governmental and
corporate issuers in emerging markets. Emerging market debt securities often are
rated below investment grade. "Investment grade" debt securities are those rated
within the four highest ratings categories of S&P or Moody's or, if unrated,
determined by LGT Asset Management to be of comparable quality. Securities rated
BBB by S&P

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

and Baa by Moody's are investment grade debt securities but may have speculative
characteristics. Many emerging market debt securities are not rated by U.S.
ratings agencies. See "Risk Factors."

The Emerging Markets Fund will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in
debt securities rated below investment grade. Investment in non-investment grade
debt securities involves a high degree of risk and can be speculative. These
debt securities are the equivalent of high yield, high risk bonds, commonly
known as "junk bonds." See "Risk Factors" for a more complete discussion. The
Emerging Markets Fund may also use instruments (including forward currency
contracts) often referred to as "derivatives." See "Currency, Options and
Futures Strategies."

If the rating of any of the Emerging Markets Fund's investments drops below a
minimum rating considered acceptable by LGT Asset Management for investment by
the Emerging Markets Fund, the Fund will dispose of any such security as soon as
practicable and consistent with the best interests of the Emerging Markets Fund
and its shareholders.

GROWTH & INCOME FUND

The investment objectives of the GROWTH & INCOME FUND are long-term capital
appreciation together with current income. In seeking those objectives, the
Growth & Income Fund normally invests at least 65% of its assets in a
combination of blue-chip equity securities and high quality government bonds.
The Growth & Income Fund considers an equity security to be "blue chip" if: (i)
during the issuer's most recent fiscal year the security offered an above
average dividend yield relative to the latest reported dividend yield on the
Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index; and (ii) the total equity
market capitalization of the issuer is at least $1 billion. Government bonds are
deemed to be high quality if at the time of the Fund's investment they are rated
within one of the two highest ratings categories of Moody's or S&P, i.e., rated
Aaa or Aa by Moody's or AAA or AA by S&P, or, if unrated, are determined by LGT
Asset Management to be of comparable quality.

Up to 35% of the Growth & Income Fund's assets may be invested in other equity
securities and investment grade government and corporate debt obligations which
LGT Asset Management believes will assist the Fund in achieving its objectives.

The equity securities in which the Growth & Income Fund may invest include
common stocks, preferred stocks, and warrants to acquire such stocks and other
equity securities. Government bonds that the Fund may purchase include debt
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or foreign governments (including
foreign states, provinces or municipalities) or their agencies, authorities or
instrumentalities. Such government securities also may include debt obligations
of supranational entities organized or supported by several national
governments, such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. The debt
obligations held by the Growth & Income Fund may include debt obligations
convertible into equity securities or having attached warrants or rights to
purchase equity securities.

The Growth & Income Fund currently contemplates that it will invest principally
in securities of issuers in the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, the
Western European nations, New Zealand and Australia. The Growth & Income Fund
may invest substantially in securities denominated in more than one currency.
Under normal market conditions, the Growth & Income Fund invests in the
securities of issuers located in at least three different countries. Investments
in securities of issuers in any one country, other than the United States, will
represent no more than 40% of the Fund's assets. The Growth & Income Fund may
purchase securities of an issuer located in one country but denominated in the
currency of another country (or a multinational currency unit).

LGT Asset Management allocates the Growth & Income Fund's assets among
securities of issuers located in countries where opportunities for meeting the
Fund's investment objectives are expected to be the most attractive. The
relative proportions of equity and debt securities held by the Growth & Income
Fund at any one time will vary, and will depend upon LGT Asset Management's
assessment of global political and economic conditions and the relative
strengths and weaknesses of the world equity and debt markets. To enable the
Growth & Income Fund to respond to general economic changes and market
conditions around the world, the Fund is authorized to invest up to 100% of its
assets in either equity securities or debt securities.

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

The Growth & Income Fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in a combination of
securities purchased on a when-issued basis or with respect to which it has
entered into forward commitment agreements. The Growth & Income Fund may also
use instruments (including forward currency contracts) often referred to as
"derivatives." See "Currency, Options and Future Strategies."

STRATEGIC INCOME FUND

The STRATEGIC INCOME FUND seeks high current income as its primary investment
objective and capital appreciation as its secondary investment objective.

The Strategic Income Fund allocates its assets among debt securities of issuers
located in three separate investment areas: (1) the United States, (2) developed
foreign countries, and (3) emerging markets. The Strategic Income Fund will
select particular debt securities in each sector based on their relative
investment merits. Within each area, the Strategic Income Fund selects debt
securities from those issued by governments, their agencies and
instrumentalities; central banks; and commercial banks and other corporate
entities. Debt securities in which the Strategic Income Fund may invest include
bonds, notes, debentures, and other similar instruments. The Strategic Income
Fund normally invests at least 50% of its total assets in U.S. and foreign debt
and other fixed income securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated at
least investment grade by Moody's or S&P, or, if unrated, are determined by LGT
Asset Management to be of comparable quality. No more than 50% of the Strategic
Income Fund's assets may be invested in securities rated below investment grade,
which involve a high degree of risk and are predominantly speculative. These
debt securities are the equivalent of high yield, high risk bonds, commonly
known as "junk bonds." See "Risk Factors." Consistent with the foregoing, the
Strategic Income Fund may invest in securities that are in default as to payment
of principal and/or interest.

For purposes of the Strategic Income Fund's operations, "emerging markets"
consist of all countries determined by LGT Asset Management to have developing
or emerging economies and markets. These countries generally are expected to
include every country in the world except the United States, Canada, Japan,
Australia, New Zealand and most countries in Western Europe. The Strategic
Income Fund currently considers investment in the following emerging markets:

The Strategic Income Fund's investments in emerging market securities may
consist substantially of Brady Bonds and other sovereign debt securities issued
by emerging market governments. "Sovereign debt securities" are those debt
securities issued by emerging market governments that are traded in the markets
of developed countries or groups of developed countries ("Sovereign Debt"). LGT
Asset Management may invest in debt securities of emerging market issuers that
it determines to be suitable investments for the Strategic Income Fund without
regard to ratings. Currently, substantially all emerging market debt securities
are of below investment grade quality. Because the Strategic Income Fund's
investment in debt securities rated below investment grade is limited to 50% of
its total assets, its investment in emerging market debt securities is therefore
effectively limited to 50% of its assets as well.

The Strategic Income Fund also may consider making carefully selected
investments in debt securities rated below investment grade of corporate issuers
in the United States and in developed foreign markets, subject to the overall
50% limitation. See "Risk Factors" for a more complete description of the risks
associated with

investment in emerging market debt securities. The Strategic Income Fund also
may invest in bank loan participations and assignments, which are fixed and
floating rate loans arranged through private negotiations between foreign
entities. See "Other Investment Information -- Loan Participations and
Assignments." The Strategic Income Fund may also use instruments (including
forward currency contracts) often referred to as "derivatives." See "Currency,
Options and Futures Strategies."

GLOBAL GOVERNMENT
INCOME FUND

The GLOBAL GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND primarily seeks high current income. The
Fund's secondary objectives are capital appreciation and protection of principal
through active management of the maturity structure and currency exposure. The
Global Government Income Fund normally invests at least 65% of its total assets
in debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or foreign governments
(including foreign states, provinces or municipalities) or their agencies,
authorities or instrumentalities. For purposes of this policy, the Global
Government Income Fund considers debt obligations of supranational entities
organized or supported by several national governments, such as the World Bank
and the Asian Development Bank, to be "government securities." The Global
Government Income Fund also may purchase debt obligations of U.S. or foreign
companies and financial institutions.

The Global Government Income Fund currently contemplates that it will invest
principally in obligations of the United States, Canada, Japan, the Western
European nations, New Zealand and Australia, as well as in multinational
currency units. Under normal market conditions, the Global Government Income
Fund invests in the securities of issuers located in at least three different
countries. Investments in securities of issuers in any one country, other than
the United States, will represent no more than 40% of the Fund's total assets.
The Global Government Income Fund does not invest in a foreign currency or in
securities denominated in a foreign currency if such currency is not at the time
of investment considered by LGT Asset Management to be fully exchangeable into
U.S. dollars (or a multinational currency unit) without legal restriction. The
Global Government Income Fund may purchase securities of an issuer located in
one country but denominated in the currency of another country (or a
multinational currency unit).

The Global Government Income Fund invests primarily in high quality government
securities, i.e., those securities rated in the two highest ratings categories
of Moody's or S&P, or, if unrated, determined by LGT Asset Management to be of
comparable quality.

Consistent with its investment objectives, the Global Government Income Fund may
invest up to 35% of its assets in a combination of: (a) foreign government
securities that are not high quality but are rated at least investment grade by
S&P or Moody's, or if unrated, determined by LGT Asset Management to be of
equivalent quality; (b) corporate debt obligations of U.S. or foreign issuers
rated at least investment grade by Moody's or S&P, including debt obligations
convertible into equity securities or having attached warrants or rights to
purchase equity securities; and (c) common and preferred stock, and warrants to
acquire such stocks, provided that the Fund will not invest more than 20% of its
total assets in such securities. In addition, the Global Government Income Fund
may invest in debt obligations convertible into equity securities or having
attached warrants or rights to purchase equity securities.

The U.S. government securities in which the Global Government Income Fund may
invest include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury bills,
notes and bonds) and obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government
agencies and instrumentalities, including securities that are supported by the
full faith and credit of the United States (such as Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA") certificates), securities that are supported by the right
of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury (such as securities of the
Federal Home Loan Banks) and securities that are supported primarily or solely
by the creditworthiness of the issuer (such as securities of the Federal
National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Student Loan Marketing Association ("SLMA") and the
Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA")). The Global Government Income Fund may also
use instruments (including forward currency

contracts) often referred to as "derivatives." See "Currency, Options and
Futures Strategies."

LGT Asset Management allocates the Global Government Income Fund's assets among
securities of countries and in currency denominations where opportunities for
meeting the Fund's investment objectives are expected to be the most attractive.
LGT Asset Management selects securities of particular issuers on the basis of
its views as to the best values then currently available in the marketplace.
Such values are a function of yield, maturity, issue classification and quality
characteristics, coupled with expectations regarding the local and world
economies, movements in the general level and term of interest rates, currency
values, political developments, and variations of the supply of funds available
for investment in the world bond market relative to the demands placed upon it.

U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND

The investment objective of the U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND is a high level of
current income, consistent with the preservation of capital. The U.S. Government
Income Fund normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in U.S. government
securities including: direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury
bills, notes and bonds); and obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government
agencies and instrumentalities, including securities that are supported by the
full faith and credit of the United States (such as GNMAs), securities that are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury (such as
securities of the Federal Home Loan Banks) and securities supported primarily or
solely by the creditworthiness of the issuer (such as securities of FNMA, FHLMC,
SLMA and TVA).

The U.S. Government Income Fund may invest in mortgage-related securities, such
as collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), fixed-rate mortgage obligations
and adjustable rate mortgage obligations ("ARMs"). These securities are issued
or guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC, among others.

Treasury bills, notes and bonds and other obligations backed by the "full faith
and credit" pledge of the U.S. government historically have involved little risk
of loss of principal if held to maturity. While not backed by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. government, mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed
by FNMA or FHLMC are high quality investments having minimal credit risks. All
securities in which the U.S. Government Income Fund invests, however, are
subject to variations in market value due to interest rate fluctuations.

A number of U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored organizations also
sell their own debt securities. These agencies typically are created by Congress
to fulfill a specific function, such as providing credit to home buyers or
farmers; for example, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Farm Credit Banks, and
SLMA. Some of these obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. government, as noted above, and some are supported primarily or solely by
the creditworthiness of the issuing agency, such as those issued by TVA. These
securities traditionally offer somewhat higher yields than U.S. Treasury
securities having similar maturities but may have greater principal risk.

The Resolution Funding Corporation ("Refcorp") issues bonds whose interest
payments are guaranteed by U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities. The amount and
maturity date of the Refcorp bonds are the same as the amount and maturity date
of the corresponding U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds held in a separate custody
account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Upon maturity, the Refcorp
bonds will be repaid from the proceeds of those U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds
maturing on the same date.

Consistent with its investment objective, the U.S. Government Income Fund may
invest up to 35% of its total assets in a combination of: foreign government
securities that are at least of investment grade quality and any U.S. government
securities that are rated below "high quality" but are rated at least investment
grade by Moody's or S&P, or if unrated determined by LGT Asset Management to be
of equivalent quality. For purposes of this policy, the U.S. Government Income
Fund considers debt obligations of supranational entities organized or supported
by several national governments, such as the World Bank and the Asian
Development Bank, to be "foreign government securities." The U.S. Government
Income Fund may purchase securities that are issued by the government of one
country but denominated in the currency of another country (or a multinational
currency unit). The U.S. Government Income Fund will

---------------------

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

not invest in a security denominated in a foreign currency if such currency is
not at the time of investment considered by LGT Asset Management to be fully
exchangeable into U.S. dollars (or a multinational currency unit) without legal
restriction. The U.S. Government Income Fund may also use instruments (including
forward currency contracts) often referred to as "derivatives." See "Currency,
Options and Futures Strategies."

MONEY MARKET FUND

The investment objective of the MONEY MARKET FUND is maximum current income
consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital. The Money Market Fund
seeks this objective by investing in high quality, U.S. dollar-denominated money
market instruments, i.e., debt obligations with remaining maturities of 13
months or less.

The Money Market Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share. To
do so, the Money Market Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of
90 days or less and will purchase only instruments having remaining maturities
of 13 months or less.

The Money Market Fund invests only in high quality, U.S. dollar-denominated
money market instruments determined by LGT Asset Management to present minimal
credit risks in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
To be considered high quality, a security must be rated in accordance with
applicable rules in one of the two highest rating categories for short-term
securities by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations ("NRSROs")(or one, if only one NRSRO has rated the security); or,
if the issuer has no applicable short-term rating, determined by LGT Asset
Management to be of equivalent credit quality.

High quality securities are divided into "first tier" and "second tier"
securities. The Money Market Fund will invest only in first tier securities.
First tier securities have received the highest rating for short-term debt from
at least two NRSROs, i.e., rated not lower than A-1 by S&P or P-1 by Moody's (or
one, if only one such NRSRO has rated the security), or, if unrated, determined
to be of equivalent quality as described above. If a security has been assigned
different ratings by different NRSROs, at least two NRSROs must have assigned
the higher rating in order for LGT Asset Management to determine the security's
eligibility for purchase by the Fund.

The rating criteria of S&P and Moody's, two NRSROs which are currently rating
instruments of the type the Money Market Fund may purchase, are more fully
described in the "Description of Debt Ratings" in the Statement of Additional
Information.

The Money Market Fund may invest in the following types of money market
instruments:

Obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. and foreign governments, their
agencies and instrumentalities. These include direct obligations of the U.S.
Treasury, such as Treasury bills and notes; obligations backed by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the GNMA; obligations
supported primarily or solely by the creditworthiness of the issuer, such as
securities of the FNMA, the FHLMC and the TVA; and similar U.S. dollar-
denominated instruments of foreign governments, their agencies, authorities and
instrumentalities.

Obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks, including certificates of deposit,
bankers' acceptances and similar instruments, when such banks have total assets
at the time of purchase equal to at least $1 billion.

Interest-bearing deposits in U.S. commercial and savings banks having total
assets of $1 billion or less, in principal amounts at each such bank not greater
than are insured by an agency of the U.S. government, provided that the
aggregate amount of such deposits (including interest earned) does not exceed 5%
of the Money Market Fund's assets.

Commercial paper and other short-term debt obligations of U.S. and foreign
companies, rated at least A-1 by S&P or Prime-1 by Moody's, or, if not rated,
determined to be of equivalent quality by LGT Asset Management, provided that
any outstanding intermediate- or long-term debt of the issuer is rated at least
AA by S&P or Aa by Moody's. See the "Description of Debt Ratings" in the
Statement of Additional Information. These instruments may include corporate
bonds and notes (corporate obligations that mature, or that may be redeemed, in
one year or less). These corporate obligations include variable rate master
notes, which are redeemable upon notice and permit investment of fluctuating
amounts at

varying rates of interest pursuant to direct arrangements with the issuer of the
instrument.

Repurchase agreements secured by any of the foregoing.

In managing the Money Market Fund, LGT Asset Management may employ a number of
professional money management techniques, including varying the composition of
the Fund's investments and the average weighted maturity of the Fund's
securities within the limitations described above. Determinations to use such
techniques will be based on LGT Asset Management's identification and assessment
of the relative values of various money market instruments and the future of
interest rate patterns, economic conditions and shifts in fiscal and monetary
policy. LGT Asset Management also may seek to improve the Money Market Fund's
income by purchasing or selling securities in order to take advantage of yield
disparities that regularly occur in the market. For example, frequently there
are yield disparities between different types of money market instruments, and
market conditions from time to time result in similar securities trading at
different prices.

OTHER INVESTMENT INFORMATION

INVESTMENT IN ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Each Fund, other than the Money Market Fund,
may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. The Money Market
Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days
are considered illiquid securities. LGT Asset Management believes, in the case
of the Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources Fund, the Telecommunications
Fund and the Latin America Fund, that carefully selected investments in joint
ventures, cooperatives, partnerships and state enterprises, private placements,
and other similar vehicles which are illiquid (collectively, "Special
Situations") could enable the Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources Fund,
the Telecommunications Fund and the Latin America Fund to achieve capital
appreciation substantially exceeding the appreciation the Fund would realize if
it did not make such investments. However, in order to limit investment risk,
the Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources Fund, the Telecommunications Fund
and the Latin America Fund are permitted to invest no more than 5% of their
respective total assets in Special Situations, and no more than 15% of their
respective net assets in Special Situations and other illiquid investments. See
"Risk Factors" in the Statement of Additional Information.

BRADY BONDS. The Latin America Fund and the Strategic Income Fund may invest in
"Brady Bonds," which are debt restructurings that provide for the exchange of
cash and loans for newly issued bonds. Brady Bonds have been issued by the
countries of, among others, Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nigeria,
Poland, Uruguay, Venezuela and the Philippines. In addition, Peru and Panama
have announced intentions to issue Brady Bonds. Approximately $136 billion in
principal amount of Brady Bonds has been issued as of the date of this
Prospectus, the largest proportion having been issued by Brazil, Argentina and
Mexico. Brady Bonds issued by such countries may be rated below investment
grade. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Funds are not aware of the
occurrence of any payment defaults on Brady Bonds. Investors should recognize,
however, that Brady Bonds have been issued only recently, and, accordingly, do
not have a long payment history. Brady Bonds may be collateralized or
uncollateralized, are issued in various currencies (primarily the U.S. dollar)
and are actively traded in the secondary market for Latin American debt. The
Salomon Brothers Brady Bond Index provides a benchmark that can be used to
compare returns of emerging market Brady Bonds with returns in other bond
markets, e.g., the U.S. bond market.

The Strategic Income Fund may invest in either collateralized or
uncollateralized Brady Bonds. U.S. dollar-denominated, collateralized Brady
Bonds, which may be fixed rate par bonds or floating rate discount bonds, are
collateralized in full as to principal by U.S. Treasury zero coupon bonds having
the same maturity as the bonds. Interest payments on such bonds generally are
collateralized by cash or securities in an amount that, in the case of fixed
rate bonds, is equal to at least one year of rolling interest payments or, in
the case of floating rate bonds, initially is equal to at least one year's
rolling interest payments based on the applicable interest rate at that time and
is adjusted at regular intervals thereafter.

PRIVATIZATIONS. The governments of some foreign countries have been engaged in
programs of selling part or all of their stakes in government owned or
controlled enterprises

---------------------

Prospectus Page 22
<PAGE> 24

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

("privatizations"). In certain foreign countries, the ability of foreign
entities such as the Funds to participate in privatizations may be limited by
local law, or the terms on which the Funds may be permitted to participate may
be less advantageous than those for local investors. There can be no assurance
that foreign governments will continue to sell companies currently owned or
controlled by them or that privatization programs will be successful. LGT Asset
Management believes that privatizations may offer opportunities for significant
capital appreciation and intends to invest assets of the Infrastructure Fund,
the Natural Resources Fund, the Telecommunications Fund, the Emerging Markets
Fund, and the Latin America Fund, respectively, in privatizations in appropriate
circumstances.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. Each Fund retains the flexibility to
respond promptly to changes in market and economic conditions. Accordingly, in
the interest of preserving shareholders' capital and consistent with each Fund's
investment objective(s), LGT Asset Management may employ a temporary defensive
investment strategy if it determines such a strategy to be warranted due to
market conditions. Under a defensive strategy, a Fund may hold cash (U.S.
dollars, foreign currencies or multinational currency units) and/or invest any
portion or all of its assets in debt securities or high quality money market
instruments issued by corporations or the U.S. or a foreign government. In
addition, for temporary defensive purposes, such as during times of
international political or economic uncertainty, most or all of a Fund's
investments may be made in the United States and denominated in U.S. dollars. To
the extent a Fund adopts a temporary defensive position, it will not be invested
so as to achieve directly its investment objective.

In addition, pending investment of proceeds from new sales of shares of a Fund
or to meet its ordinary daily cash needs, a Fund may hold cash (U.S. dollars,
foreign currencies or multinational currency units) and may invest any portion
or all of its assets in foreign or domestic high quality money market
instruments. Money market instruments in which a Fund may invest include, but
are not limited to, U.S. or foreign government securities; high grade commercial
paper; bank certificates of deposit; bankers' acceptances; and repurchase
agreements related to any of the foregoing. High grade commercial paper refers
to commercial paper rated A-1 by S&P or P-1 by Moody's or, if not rated,
determined by LGT Asset Management to be of comparable quality to commercial
paper so rated.

LOAN PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS. The Strategic Income Fund may invest in
fixed and floating rate loans ("Loans") arranged through private negotiations
between a foreign entity and one or more financial institutions ("Lenders"). The
majority of the Strategic Income Fund's investments in Loans in emerging markets
is expected to be in the form of participations in Loans ("Participations") and
assignments of portions of Loans ("Assignments") from third parties.
Participations typically will result in the Strategic Income Fund's having a
contractual relationship only with the Lender, not with the borrowing
government. The Strategic Income Fund will have the right to receive payments of
principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the Lender
selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments
from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Strategic
Income Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower
with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan ("Loan Agreement"),
nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Fund may not directly
benefit from any collateral supporting the Loan in which it has purchased the
Participation. As a result, the Strategic Income Fund will assume the credit
risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation. In
the event of the insolvency of the Lender selling a Participation, the Strategic
Income Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the Lender and may not
benefit from any set-off between the Lender and the borrower. The Strategic
Income Fund will acquire Participations only if the Lender interpositioned
between the Fund and the borrower is determined by LGT Asset Management to be
creditworthy. When the Strategic Income Fund purchases Assignments from Lenders,
the Fund will acquire direct rights against the borrower on the Loan. However,
because Assignments are arranged through private negotiations between potential
assignees and potential assignors, the rights and obligations acquired by the
Strategic Income Fund as the purchaser of an Assignment may differ from, and be
more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.

---------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

The Strategic Income Fund may have difficulty disposing of Assignments and
Participations. Because there is no liquid market for such securities, the
Strategic Income Fund anticipates that such securities could be sold only to a
limited number of institutional investors. The lack of a liquid secondary market
will have an adverse impact on the value of such securities and on the Strategic
Income Fund's ability to dispose of particular Assignments or Participations
when necessary to meet the Fund's liquidity needs or in response to a specific
economic event, such as a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the borrower.
The lack of a liquid secondary market for Assignments and Participations also
may make it more difficult for the Fund to assign a value to those securities
for purposes of valuing the Strategic Income Fund's holdings and calculating its
net asset value. The Strategic Income Fund's investment in illiquid securities,
including Assignments and Participations, is limited to 15% of its net assets.

BORROWING AND LENDING. From time to time, it may be advantageous for the Funds
to borrow money rather than sell existing securities to meet redemption
requests. Accordingly, a Fund may borrow from banks or (except for the Money
Market Fund) may borrow through reverse repurchase agreements in connection with
meeting requests for the redemption of shares of the Fund. Each Fund also may
borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary or emergency purposes other
than to meet redemptions by its investors. The Funds (except for the Strategic
Income Fund) will not borrow for leveraging purposes, nor will the Funds (except
for the Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources Fund, the Telecommunications
Fund, the Emerging Markets Fund and the Latin America Fund) purchase securities
while borrowings
are outstanding. The Infrastructure Fund,
the Natural Resources Fund, the Telecommunications Fund, the Emerging Markets
Fund and the Latin America Fund may each purchase additional securities when
outstanding borrowings represent no more than 5% of its assets. See "Investment
Objectives and Policies" in the Statement of Additional Information.

The Strategic Income Fund is authorized to borrow money from banks in an amount
up to 33 1/3% of its total assets, (including the amount borrowed), less all
liabilities and indebtedness other than the borrowing and may use the proceeds
of such borrowings for investment purposes. Borrowings create leverage, a
speculative factor. The Strategic Income Fund will borrow only when LGT Asset
Management believes that such borrowings will benefit the Fund, after taking
into account considerations such as the costs of the borrowing and the likely
investment returns on the securities purchased with the borrowed monies.

Borrowing by the Strategic Income Fund will create an opportunity for increased
net income but, at the same time, will involve special risk considerations. For
example, leveraging might exaggerate changes in the net asset value of the
Strategic Income Fund's shares and in the yield on the Fund's portfolio.
Although the principal of such borrowings will be fixed, the Strategic Income
Fund's assets may change in value during the time the borrowing is outstanding.
To the extent the income derived from the assets obtained with borrowed funds
exceeds the interest and other expenses that the Strategic Income Fund will have
to pay, the Fund's net income will be greater than if borrowing were not used.
Conversely, if the income from the assets obtained with borrowed funds is not
sufficient to cover the cost of borrowing, the net income of the Strategic
Income Fund will be less than if borrowing were not used, and therefore the
amount available for distribution to shareholders as dividends will be reduced.
The Strategic Income Fund expects that some of its borrowings may be made on a
secured basis. In such situations, the Strategic Income Fund's custodian will
segregate the pledged assets for the benefit of the lender or arrangements will
be made with a suitable subcustodian, which may include the lender.

Each Fund (except the Money Market Fund) is authorized to make loans of its
securities to broker/dealers or to other institutional investors. The borrower
must maintain with the lending Fund's custodian collateral consisting of cash,
U.S. government securities or other liquid, high grade debt securities equal to
at least the value of the borrowed securities, plus any accrued interest. A Fund
will receive any interest paid on the loaned securities and a fee and/or a
portion of the interest earned on the collateral. Each Fund will limit its loans
of securities to an aggregate of 30% of the value of its total assets, measured
at the time any such loan is made. The

---------------------

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of secured
credit, consist of possible delay in receiving additional collateral or in
recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should
the borrower fail financially. See "Investment Objectives and Policies" in the
Statement of Additional Information.

INVESTMENT IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES OR VEHICLES. With respect to certain
countries, investments by a Fund currently may be made only by acquiring shares
of other investment companies with local government approval to invest in those
countries. Pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), each Fund (except the Money Market Fund) may invest up to 10% of its
total assets in the aggregate in shares of other investment companies, and up to
5% of its total assets in any one investment company, but may purchase no more
than 3% of the voting stock of the acquired investment company, all as of the
time such shares are purchased. Investment in other investment companies or
vehicles may be the most practical or only manner in which a Fund can
participate in certain securities markets. Such investment may involve the
payment of substantial premiums above the value of such issuers' portfolio
securities, and is subject to limitations under the 1940 Act and market
availability. There can be no assurance that investment companies or other
vehicles for investing in certain countries will be available for investment. A
Fund will not invest in such vehicles or funds unless, in the judgment of LGT
Asset Management, the potential benefits of such investment justify the payment
of any applicable premium or sales charge. As a shareholder in an investment
company, a Fund would bear its ratable share of that investment company's
expenses, including its advisory and administration fees. At the same time, a
Fund would continue to pay its own management fees and other expenses. See
"Investment Objectives and Policies" in the Statement of Additional Information.

WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD COMMITMENT SECURITIES. The Funds may purchase debt
securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell such securities on
a "forward commitment" basis in order to hedge against anticipated changes in
interest rates and prices. The price of the securities, which is generally
expressed in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment is made, but
delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date. When-issued
securities and forward commitments may be sold prior to the settlement date, but
a Fund will enter into when-issued and forward commitments only with the
intention of actually receiving or delivering the securities, as the case may
be. No income accrues on securities which have been purchased pursuant to a
forward commitment or on a when-issued basis prior to delivery to the Fund. If a
Fund disposes of the right to acquire a when-issued security prior to its
acquisition or disposes of its right to deliver or receive against a forward
commitment, it may incur a gain or loss. At the time a Fund enters into a
transaction on a when-issued or forward commitment basis, a segregated account
consisting of cash or high grade liquid debt securities equal to the value of
the when-issued or forward commitment securities will be established and
maintained at the Funds' custodian bank and will be marked to market daily.
There is a risk that the securities purchased on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis may not be delivered and that the Fund may incur a loss or miss
an opportunity to make an alternative investment as a result.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund
purchases a security from a bank or recognized securities dealer and
simultaneously commits to resell that security to the bank or dealer at an
agreed-upon price, date and market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate
or maturity of the purchased security. Although repurchase agreements carry
certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including
possible decline in the market value of the underlying securities and delays and
costs to the Fund if the other party to the repurchase agreement becomes
bankrupt, the Funds intend to enter into repurchase agreements only with banks
and dealers believed by LGT Asset Management to present minimal credit risks in
accordance with guidelines approved by the Companies' Boards of Trustees. LGT
Asset Management reviews and monitors the creditworthiness of such institutions
under the Board's general supervision. See "Investment Objectives and
Policies -- Repurchase Agreements" in the Statement of Additional Information.

The Funds will invest only in repurchase agreements collateralized at all times
in an

---------------------

Prospectus Page 25

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

amount at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest. To the
extent that the proceeds from any sale of such collateral upon a default in the
obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, a Fund would
suffer a loss. If the financial institution that is party to a repurchase
agreement petitions for bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject to bankruptcy or
other liquidation proceedings, there may be restrictions on a Fund's ability to
sell the collateral and the Fund could suffer a loss. However, with respect to
financial institutions whose bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings are subject
to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Funds intend to comply with provisions under
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that would allow them immediately to resell such
collateral. The Funds will not enter into a repurchase agreement with a maturity
of more than seven days if, as a result, more than 15% (10% with respect to the
Money Market Fund) of the value of their respective net assets would be invested
in such repurchase agreements and other illiquid securities.

STRIPPED MORTGAGE SECURITIES. The U.S. Government Income Fund may invest in
"stripped" mortgage securities which are derivative multi-class mortgage
securities. The stripped mortgage securities in which the U.S. Government Income
Fund may invest are issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the
U.S. government. Stripped mortgage securities have greater market volatility
than other types of mortgage securities in which the U.S. Government Income Fund
may invest.

Stripped mortgage securities are usually structured with two classes that
receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a
pool of mortgage assets. A common type of stripped mortgage security will have
one class receiving some of the interest and most of the principal from the
mortgage assets, while the other class will receive most of the interest and the
remainder of the principal. In the most extreme case, one class will receive all
of the interest (the interest-only or "IO" class), while the other class will
receive all of the principal (the principal-only or "PO" class). The yield to
maturity on an IO class is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing
interest rates but also to the rate of principal payments (including
prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and a rapid rate of
principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the yield to maturity
of certain mortgage securities held by the U.S. Government Income Fund. If the
underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of
principal, the U.S. Government Income Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial
investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest
rating categories, AAA or Aaa, by S&P or Moody's, respectively.

ZERO COUPON SECURITIES. The Strategic Income Fund and the U.S. Government
Income Fund may invest in certain zero coupon securities that are "stripped"
U.S. Treasury notes and bonds. The Strategic Income Fund also may invest in zero
coupon and other deep discount securities issued by foreign governments and
domestic and foreign corporations, including certain Brady Bonds and other
foreign debt securities and in payment-in-kind securities. Zero coupon
securities pay no interest to holders prior to maturity, and payment-in-kind
securities pay interest in the form of additional securities. However, a portion
of the original issue discount on zero coupon securities and the "interest" on
payment-in-kind securities are included in the investing Fund's income.
Accordingly, to continue to qualify for tax treatment as a regulated investment
company and to avoid a certain excise tax (see "Taxes" in the Statement of
Additional Information), the Strategic Income Fund or the U.S. Government Income
Fund may be required to distribute as a dividend an amount that is greater than
the total amount of cash it actually receives. These distributions must be made
from the Funds' respective cash assets or, if necessary, from the proceeds of
sales of portfolio securities. The Strategic Income Fund and the U.S. Government
Income Fund will not be able to purchase additional income-producing securities
with cash used to make such distributions, and their respective current incomes
ultimately may be reduced as a result. Zero coupon and payment-in-kind
securities usually trade at a deep discount from their face or par value and are
subject to greater fluctuations of market value in response to changing interest
rates than are debt obligations of comparable maturities that make current
distributions of interest in cash.

OTHER INFORMATION. The investment objective(s) of each Fund may not be changed
without the approval by holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" of such Fund.

---------------------

Prospectus Page 26
<PAGE> 28

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

As defined in the 1940 Act and as used in this Prospectus, a "majority of the
outstanding voting securities" of a Fund means the lesser of (i) 67% or more of
the outstanding shares of the Fund, represented at a shareholders' meeting at
which more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are represented at the
meeting in person or by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of
the Fund. In addition, certain investment limitations have been adopted by each
Fund and may not be changed without the approval by holders of a "majority of
the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund. A complete description of these
limitations is included in the Statement of Additional Information. Unless
specifically noted, the investment policies described in this Prospectus and in
the Statement of Additional Information are not fundamental policies and may be
changed by the Board of Trustees of the relevant Company, without the approval
of "a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the respective Funds,
provided that any such policies as so amended do not conflict with the
fundamental investment limitations of such Funds. See "Investment Limitations"
in the Statement of Additional Information.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. LGT Asset Management does not regard portfolio turnover as
a limiting factor and will buy or sell securities for the Funds as necessary in
response to market conditions to meet the respective Funds' objectives. The
Funds engage in portfolio trading when LGT Asset Management concludes that the
sale of a security owned by a Fund and/or the purchase of another security of
better value can enhance principal and/or increase income. A security may be
sold to avoid any prospective decline in market value, or a security may be
purchased in anticipation of a market rise. Consistent with each Fund's
investment objective(s), a security also may be sold and a comparable security
purchased in order to take advantage of what is believed to be a disparity in
the normal yield and price relationship between the two securities. Although the
Funds generally do not intend to trade for short-term profits, the securities in
each Fund's portfolio will be sold whenever LGT Asset Management believes it is
appropriate to do so, without regard to the length of time a particular security
may have been held (except to the extent necessary to avoid non-compliance with
the "Short-Short Limitation" described in "Taxes" in the Statement of Additional
Information).

LGT Asset Management anticipates that: (i) the annual portfolio turnover rates
of the New Pacific Fund, the Europe Fund, the Infrastructure Fund, the Natural
Resources Fund, the Telecommunications Fund, the International Fund, the
Emerging Markets Fund, and the Money Market Fund will not exceed 100%; (ii) such
turnover rates of the Latin America Fund, the America Fund, the Growth & Income
Fund, and the U.S. Government Income Fund may exceed 100%; and (iii) the annual
portfolio turnover rates of the Strategic Income Fund and the Global Government
Income Fund are likely to exceed 100%. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated
by dividing the lesser of sales or purchases of securities by the respective
Funds' average month-end portfolio value, excluding short-term investments. This
calculation excludes purchases and sales of debt securities having a maturity on
the date of purchase of one year or less. High turnover involves correspondingly
greater transaction costs in the form of dealer spreads or brokerage commissions
and other costs that a Fund will bear directly, and could result in the
realization of net capital gains which would be taxable when distributed to
shareholders. See "Execution of Portfolio Transactions" in the Statement of
Additional Information.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RISK FACTORS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net asset value of each Fund (other than the Money Market Fund) will
fluctuate, reflecting changes in the market value of its investments. There can
be no assurance, however, that the Money Market Fund will be able to maintain a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The value of debt securities held by
a Fund generally varies inversely with movements in interest rates. In addition,
the various investment policies of each Fund present certain specific risks.
These risks are described below.

GENERAL RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. All of the Funds (to a lesser extent the
America Fund) are authorized to invest in foreign securities. Foreign investing
entails certain risks not associated with

---------------------

Prospectus Page 27
<PAGE> 29

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

investing in the securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign securities generally will
not be registered with, nor will the issuers thereof be subject to the reporting
requirements of, the SEC. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available
information about foreign securities and issuers than is available about U.S.
securities and issuers. Foreign companies generally are not subject to uniform
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and
requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. Securities of
some foreign companies are less liquid and their prices may be more volatile
than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In addition, certain costs
attributable to foreign investing, such as custody charges, are higher than
those attributable to domestic investing. The respective Funds' net investment
income from foreign issuers may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes,
thereby reducing the respective Funds' net investment income.

In addition, with respect to some foreign countries, there is the possibility of
expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitations on the removal of funds or
other assets of the Funds, political or social instability, or diplomatic or
economic developments which could affect the Funds' investments in those
countries. Moreover, individual foreign economies may differ favorably or
unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national
product, rates of inflation, rates of savings and capital reinvestment, resource
self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions. LGT Asset Management will
rely on its worldwide financial and investment expertise to attempt to limit
these risks. See "Risk Factors" in the Statement of Additional Information.

Because the Funds (except the Money Market Fund) may invest substantially, and
the America Fund to a lesser extent, in securities denominated in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar, and because most of the Funds may hold foreign
currencies, such Funds will be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange
control regulations or changes in the exchange rates between such currencies and
the U.S. dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates will influence the value of
the securities held by the Funds and, as a result, the value of the Funds'
shares, and also may affect the value of dividends and interest earned by the
Funds and gains and losses realized by the Funds. Exchange rates are determined
by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange markets. These forces
are affected by the international balance of payments and other economic and
financial conditions, government intervention, speculation and other factors. If
the currency in which a security is denominated appreciates against the U.S.
dollar, the dollar value of the security will increase. Conversely, a decline in
the exchange rate of the currency would adversely affect the value of the
security expressed in U.S. dollars.

SPECIAL RISKS OF A GLOBAL THEME FUND. The Infrastructure Fund, the Natural
Resources Fund and the Telecommunications Fund concentrate their investments in
a specific industry. Accordingly, the value of the securities held by the
Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources Fund and the Telecommunications Fund
and, as a result, the share price of each Fund, may be more volatile than those
of investment companies that do not concentrate their investments in a specific
industry and, thus, each fund individually should not be considered a complete
investment program.

The net asset value of Infrastructure Fund shares will be susceptible to factors
affecting the infrastructure industries. In both the U.S. and foreign countries,
these industries may be subject to greater political, environmental and other
governmental regulation than many other industries. The nature of such
regulation continues to evolve in both the United States and foreign countries,
and changes in governmental policies and the need for regulatory approvals may
have a material effect on the products and services of this industry. Electric,
gas, water and most telecommunications companies in the United States, for
example, are subject to both federal and state regulation affecting permitted
rates of return and the kinds of services that may be offered. Changes in
prevailing interest rates may also affect the Infrastructure Fund's share values
because prices of equity and debt securities of infrastructure companies often
tend to increase when interest rates decline and decrease when interest rates
rise. In addition, many infrastructure companies, including coal, steel, and
other types of companies, have historically been subject to the risks attendant
to increases in fuel and other operating costs, high interest costs on borrowed
funds, costs associated with compliance with environmental and other safety
regulations and changes in the regulatory climate. Such governmental regulation
may also hamper the development of new technologies,

---------------------

Prospectus Page 28
<PAGE> 30

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

and it is impossible to predict the direction, type or effect of any future
regulation. Further competition is intense for many infrastructure companies. As
a result, many of these companies may be adversely affected in the future and
such companies may be subject to increased share price volatility. In addition,
many companies have diversified into oil and gas exploration and development,
therefore returns may be more sensitive to energy prices. Other infrastructure
companies, such as water supply companies, are in a highly fragmented industry
due to local ownership. Generally these companies are mature and are
experiencing little or no growth.

The net asset value of Natural Resources Fund shares will be susceptible to
factors affecting the natural resource industries. In both the U.S. and foreign
countries, for example, these industries may be subject to greater political,
environmental and other governmental regulation than other industries. The
nature of such regulation continues to evolve in both the U.S. and foreign
countries, and changes in governmental policies and the need for regulatory
approvals may have a material effect on the products and services of natural
resource companies. For example, the exploration, development and distribution
of coal, oil and gas in the United States are subject to significant federal and
state regulation, which may affect rates of return on such investments and the
kinds of services that may be offered. In addition, many natural resource
companies historically have been subject to significant costs associated with
compliance with environmental and other safety regulations and changes in the
regulatory climate. Such governmental regulations may also hamper the
development of new technologies, and it is impossible to predict the direction,
type or effect of any future regulation. Further, competition is intense for
many natural resource companies. As a result, many of these companies may be
adversely affected in the future and the value of the securities issued by such
companies may be subject to increased share price volatility.

The value of the securities held in the portfolio of the Natural Resources Fund
will fluctuate in response to stock market developments, as well as market
conditions for the particular natural resources with which the issuer is
involved. The price of the commodity will fluctuate due to changes in worldwide
levels of inventory, and changes, perceived or actual, in production and
consumption. The values of natural resources may fluctuate directly with respect
to various stages of the inflationary cycle and perceived inflationary trends
and are subject to numerous factors, including national and international
politics. The Natural Resources Fund's investments in precious metals are
subject to many risks, including substantial price fluctuations over short
periods of time. Further, the Natural Resources Fund's investments in companies
are expected to be subject to irregular fluctuations in earnings, because these
companies are affected by changes in the availability of money, the level of
interest rates, and other factors.

The net asset value of Telecommunications Fund shares will be susceptible to
factors affecting the telecommunications industry. This industry may be subject
to greater governmental regulation than many other industries, and changes in
governmental policies and the need for regulatory approvals may have a material
effect on the products and services of the industry. Telephone operating
companies in the United States, for example, are subject to both federal and
state regulations affecting permitted rates of return and the kinds of services
that may be offered. In addition, government regulation in certain foreign
countries may include interest rate controls, credit controls and price
controls. In some cases foreign governments have taken steps to nationalize the
operations of certain financial services companies, including banks. Certain
types of companies in which the Telecommunications Fund might invest are engaged
in fierce competition for a share of the market for their products. In recent
years, these have been companies providing goods and services such as private
and local area networks and telephone set equipment. Moreover, the investment
flexibility of the Telecommunications Fund may be restricted by the necessity of
satisfying certain diversification requirements in order to maintain the
qualification of the Fund as a regulated investment company within the meaning
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

While the holdings of the Telecommunications Fund, the Infrastructure Fund and
the Natural Resources Fund normally will include securities of established
suppliers of traditional products and services, each of these Funds may invest
in smaller companies which can benefit from the development of new products and
services. These smaller companies may present greater

---------------------

Prospectus Page 29
<PAGE> 31

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

opportunities for capital appreciation, but may involve greater risks than
large, established issuers. Such smaller companies may have limited product
lines, markets or financial resources, and their securities may trade less
frequently and in more limited volume than the securities of larger, more
established companies. As a result, the prices of the securities of such smaller
companies may fluctuate to a greater degree than the prices of the securities of
other issuers.

SPECIAL RISKS OF EMERGING MARKETS. The Latin America Fund and the Emerging
Markets Fund concentrate their investments in emerging markets. Most of the
other Funds also may invest a portion of their assets in emerging markets.
Investing in emerging markets involves risks relating to potential political and
economic instability within such markets and the risks of expropriation,
nationalization, confiscation of assets and property or the imposition of
restrictions on foreign investment and on repatriation of capital invested. In
the event of such expropriation, nationalization or other confiscation in any
emerging market, the Funds could lose their entire investment in that market.

The net asset value of the Funds that invest in emerging markets will fluctuate,
reflecting fluctuations in the market value of their portfolio positions and
their net currency exposure. There is no assurance that these Funds will achieve
their investment objectives.

LGT Asset Management believes that the issuers of securities in emerging markets
often have sales and earnings growth rates which exceed those in developed
countries and that such growth rates may in turn be reflected in more rapid
share price appreciation. Accordingly, LGT Asset Management believes that
investing in equity securities in emerging markets may enable Funds investing in
such markets to achieve results superior to those produced by mutual funds with
similar objectives that invest solely in equity securities of issuers domiciled
in the U.S. and/or in other developed markets.

Nonetheless, investing in the Funds that invest in emerging markets entails a
substantial degree of risk. Because of the special risks associated with
investing in emerging markets, an investment in such Funds should be considered
speculative. Investors are strongly advised to consider carefully the special
risks involved in emerging markets, which are in addition to the usual risks of
investing in developed markets around the world.

Economies in individual emerging markets may differ favorably or unfavorably
from the U.S. economy in the following respects: growth of gross national
product, rates of inflation, currency depreciation, capital reinvestment,
resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions. Many emerging
markets have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates
of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates
have had and may continue to have very negative effects on the economies and
securities markets of certain countries with emerging markets.

Economies in emerging markets generally are dependent heavily upon international
trade and, accordingly, have been and may continue to be affected adversely by
trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency
values and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries
with which they trade. These economies also have been and may continue to be
affected adversely by economic conditions in the countries in which they trade.

The securities markets of emerging countries are substantially smaller, less
developed, less liquid and more volatile than the securities markets of the
United States and other developed countries. Disclosure and regulatory standards
in many respects are less stringent than in more developed markets. There also
may be a lower level of monitoring and regulation of emerging markets and the
activities of investors in such markets, and enforcement of existing regulations
has been extremely limited.

In addition, brokerage commissions, custodial services and other costs relating
to investment in foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, generally are
more expensive than in the United States. Such markets have different settlement
and clearance procedures. In certain markets there have been times when
settlements have been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities
transactions, making it difficult to conduct such transactions.

The inability of a Fund to make intended securities purchases due to settlement
problems could cause the Fund to miss attractive investment opportunities.
Inability to dispose of a portfolio security caused by settlement problems could
result either in losses to the Fund due to subsequent declines in value of the
portfolio security or, if the Fund has entered into a

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

contract to sell the security, in possible liability to the purchaser.

The risk also exists that an emergency situation may arise in one or more
emerging markets as a result of which trading of securities may cease or may be
substantially curtailed and prices for a Fund's investments in such markets may
not be readily available. Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act permits a registered
investment company to suspend redemption of its shares for any period, during
which an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC. Accordingly, if a Fund
believes that circumstances dictate, it will promptly apply to the SEC for a
determination that such an emergency exists within the meaning of Section 22(e)
of the 1940 Act. During the period commencing from a Fund's identification of
such conditions until the date of SEC action, the Fund's investments in the
affected markets will be valued at fair value determined in good faith by or
under the direction of the relevant Company's Board of Trustees.

LOWER QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. There are no credit quality limitations placed
on the debt securities in which the Latin America Fund may invest. In addition,
the Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources Fund and the Emerging Markets
Fund may each invest up to 20% of its total assets, the Telecommunications Fund
may invest up to 5% of its assets, and the Strategic Income Fund may invest up
to 50% of its assets, in debt securities rated below investment grade. Such
investments involve a high degree of risk. However, the Infrastructure Fund and
the Natural Resources Fund will not invest in securities in default as to
principal and interest.

Investment grade debt securities include those rated at least BBB by S&P or at
least Baa by Moody's, as well as unrated securities determined by LGT Asset
Management to be of comparable quality. Moody's considers securities rated Baa
to have speculative characteristics. Debt securities rated below investment
grade, i.e., rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C by S&P or Ba, B, Caa, Ca or C by Moody's
are regarded by S&P and Moody's, on balance, as predominantly speculative with
respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the
terms of the obligation. BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation and C the
highest degree of speculation. While such debt will likely have some quality and
protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major
risk exposures to adverse conditions. Similarly, debt securities rated Ba and
below by Moody's are regarded by Moody's as speculative. Debt rated C by Moody's
or S&P is the lowest rated debt that is not in default as to principal or
interest, and such issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor
prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing. Such securities are
also generally considered to be subject to greater risk than securities with
higher ratings with regard to a deterioration of general economic conditions.
These debt securities are the equivalent of high yield, high risk bonds,
commonly known as "junk bonds."

Ratings of debt securities represent the rating agency's opinion regarding their
quality and are not a guarantee of quality. Credit ratings attempt to evaluate
the safety of principal and interest payments and do not evaluate the risks of
fluctuations in market value. Also, rating agencies may fail to make timely
changes in credit ratings in response to subsequent events, so that an issuer's
current financial condition may be better or worse than the rating indicates.

The market values of lower rated debt securities tend to reflect individual
developments of the issuer to a greater extent than do higher rated securities,
which react primarily to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates,
tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions and generally have more
volatile prices than higher rated securities. Issuers of lower rated debt
securities are often highly leveraged and may not have available to them more
traditional methods of financing. For example, during an economic downturn or a
sustained period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers of lower
rated debt securities may experience financial stress. During such periods, such
issuers may not have sufficient revenues to meet their interest payment
obligations. The issuer's ability to service its debt obligations may also be
adversely affected by specific developments affecting the issuer, such as the
issuer's inability to meet specific projected business forecasts or the
unavailability of additional financing.

Similarly, certain emerging market governments that issue lower quality debt
securities are among the largest debtors to commercial banks, foreign
governments and supranational organizations such as the World Bank, and may not
be able or willing to make principal and/or interest repayments as they come
due. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer is significantly greater for
the holders of lower rated debt securities because such securities are generally
unsecured

and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

Lower rated debt securities frequently have call or buy-back features which
would permit an issuer to call or repurchase the security from a Fund. If an
issuer exercises these provisions in a declining interest rate market, a Fund
may have to replace the security with a lower yielding security, resulting in a
decreased return for investors. In addition, a Fund may have difficulty
disposing of such lower rated securities because there may be no established
retail secondary market for many of these securities. The lack of a liquid
secondary market may have an adverse impact on market price and may make it more
difficult for a Fund to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of
valuing the securities held by such Fund. Adverse publicity and investor
perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may also decrease the
values and liquidity of lower rated securities, especially in a thinly traded
market. The Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources Fund, the
Telecommunications Fund and the Strategic Income Fund may also acquire lower
rated securities during an initial underwriting or which are sold without
registration under applicable securities laws. Such securities involve special
considerations and risks.

Factors having an adverse effect on the market value of lower rated securities
or their equivalents, to the extent a Fund has invested in such securities, will
adversely impact the Fund's net asset value. In addition to the factors noted
above, such factors may include: (i) potential adverse publicity; (ii)
heightened sensitivity to general economic conditions; and (iii) likely adverse
impact of a major economic recession. The Funds may also incur additional
expenses to the extent they are required to seek recovery upon a default in the
payment of principal or interest on its holdings, and the Funds may have limited
legal recourse in the event of a default. Debt securities issued by governments
in emerging markets can differ from debt obligations issued by private entities
in that remedies from defaults generally must be pursued in the courts of the
defaulting government, and legal recourse is therefore somewhat diminished.
Political conditions, in terms of a government's willingness to meet the terms
of its debt obligations, also are of considerable significance. There can be no
assurance that the holders of commercial bank debt may not contest payments to
the holders of debt securities issued by governments in emerging markets in the
event of default by the governments under commercial bank loan agreements.

As of December 31, 1994, the Strategic Income Fund had 74.4% of its total net
assets in debt securities that received a rating from Moody's and 20.2% of its
total net assets in debt securities that were not so rated. In addition, the
Strategic Income Fund had 5.4% of its total net assets in cash and cash items.
The Strategic Income Fund had the following percentages of its total net assets
invested in rated securities: Aaa (including cash and cash items)--41.3%,
Aa--6.9%, A--6.5%, Baa--0.8%, Ba--10.8%, B--13.5%, Caa--0%, Ca--0%, C--0%. It
should be noted that this information reflects the composition of the Fund's
assets as of December 31, 1994 and is not necessarily representative of its
assets at any time after that date.

LGT Asset Management attempts to minimize the speculative risks associated with
investments in lower quality securities through credit analysis and by carefully
monitoring current trends in interest rates, political developments and other
factors. Nonetheless, investors should carefully review the investment
objective(s) and policies of each Fund and consider their ability to assume the
investment risks involved before making an investment. See "Description of Debt
Ratings" in the Statement of Additional Information.

SOVEREIGN DEBT. The Latin America Fund, the Emerging Markets Fund, and the
Strategic Income Fund may invest in Sovereign Debt. Investments in Sovereign
Debt involve special risks. The issuer of the debt or the governmental
authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to
repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt,
and a Fund may have limited legal recourse in the event of a default. Periods of
economic uncertainty may result in the volatility of market prices of Sovereign
Debt and, in turn, a Fund's net asset value, to a greater extent than the
volatility inherent in domestic fixed income securities.

Sovereign Debt differs from debt obligations issued by private entities in that,
generally, remedies for defaults must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting
party. Legal recourse is therefore somewhat limited. Political conditions,
especially a sovereign entity's willingness to meet

---------------------

Prospectus Page 32
<PAGE> 34

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

the terms of its debt obligations, are of considerable significance. Also, there
can be no assurance that the holders of commercial bank loans to the same
sovereign entity may not contest payments to the holders of Sovereign Debt in
the event of default under commercial bank loan agreements.

A sovereign debtor's willingness or ability to repay principal and pay interest
in a timely manner may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow
situation, the extent of its foreign reserves, the availability of sufficient
foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt
service burden to the sovereign debtor's economy as a whole, the sovereign
debtor's policy toward principal international lenders and the political
constraints to which the sovereign debtor may be subject. Sovereign debtors may
default on their Sovereign Debt. Sovereign debtors also may be dependent on
expected disbursements from foreign governments, multilateral agencies and
others abroad to reduce principal and interest arrearages on their debt. The
commitment on the part of these governments, agencies and others to make such
disbursements may be conditioned on a sovereign debtor's implementation of
economic reforms and/or economic performance and the timely service of such
debtor's obligations. Failure to implement such reforms, achieve such levels of
economic performance or repay principal or interest when due, may result in the
cancellation of such third parties' commitments to lend funds to the sovereign
debtor, which may further impair such debtor's ability or willingness to timely
service its debts.

The occurrence of political, social or diplomatic changes in one or more of the
countries issuing Sovereign Debt could adversely affect a Fund's investments.
The countries issuing such instruments are faced with social and political
issues, and some of them have experienced high rates of inflation in recent
years and have extensive internal debt. Among other effects, high inflation and
internal debt service requirements may adversely affect the cost and
availability of future domestic sovereign borrowing to finance governmental
programs, and may have other adverse social, political and economic
consequences. Political changes or a deterioration of a country's domestic
economy or balance of trade may affect the willingness of countries to service
their Sovereign Debt. Although LGT Asset Management intends to manage the
respective Funds' investments in a manner that will minimize the exposure to
such risks, there can be no assurance that adverse political changes will not
cause a Fund to suffer a loss of interest or principal on any of its holdings.

In recent years, some of the emerging market countries in which the Funds may
invest have encountered difficulties in servicing their Sovereign Debt. Some of
these countries have withheld payments of interest on and/or principal of
Sovereign Debt. These difficulties have also led to agreements to restructure
external debt obligations -- in particular, commercial bank loans -- typically
by rescheduling principal payments, reducing interest rates and extending new
credits to finance interest payments on existing debt. In the future, holders of
Sovereign Debt may be requested to participate in similar rescheduling of such
debt. Certain emerging market countries are among the largest debtors to
commercial banks and foreign governments. Currently, Brazil, Mexico and
Argentina are the largest debtors among developing countries. At times certain
emerging market countries have declared moratoria on the payment of principal
and interest on external debt; such a moratorium is currently in effect in
certain emerging market countries. There is no bankruptcy proceeding by which a
creditor may collect in whole or in part Sovereign Debt on which an emerging
market government has defaulted.

The ability of emerging market governments to make timely payments on their
Sovereign Debt is likely to be influenced strongly by a country's balance of
trade and its access to trade and other international credits. A country whose
exports are concentrated in a few commodities could be vulnerable to a decline
in the international prices of one or more of such commodities. Increased
protectionism on the part of a country's trading partners could also adversely
affect its exports. Such events could diminish a country's trade account
surplus, if any. To the extent that a country receives payment for its exports
in currencies other than hard currencies, its ability to make hard currency
payments could be affected.

Investors should also be aware that certain Sovereign Debt instruments in which
the Funds may invest involve great risk. Sovereign Debt issued by emerging
market issuers generally is deemed to be the equivalent in terms of quality to
securities rated below investment grade by

---------------------

Prospectus Page 33
<PAGE> 35

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Moody's and S&P. Such securities are regarded as predominantly speculative with
respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal in
accordance with the terms of the obligations and involve major risk exposure to
adverse conditions. Some of such Sovereign Debt, which may not be paying
interest currently or may be in payment default, may be comparable to securities
rated D by S&P or C by Moody's. A Fund may have difficulty disposing of and
valuing certain Sovereign Debt obligations because there may be a limited
trading market for such securities. Because there is no liquid secondary market
for many of these securities, the Funds anticipate that such securities could be
sold only to a limited number of dealers or institutional investors.

ARMS. ARMs differ from conventional bonds in that principal is repaid over the
life of the ARM rather than at maturity. The holder of an ARM, (e.g., the U.S.
Government Income Fund) receives not only monthly scheduled payments of
principal and interest, but also may receive unscheduled principal payments
representing prepayments on the underlying mortgages. An investor, therefore,
may have to reinvest the periodic payments and any unscheduled prepayments of
principal it receives, at a rate of interest which is lower than the rate on the
ARMs held by it. For this reason, ARMs may be less effective than other types of
U.S. government securities as a means of "locking in" long-term interest rates.

The market value of ARMs, like other U.S. government securities, will generally
vary inversely with changes in market interest rates, declining when interest
rates rise and rising when interest rates decline. ARMs have less risk of price
decline during periods of rapidly rising rates than other investments of
comparable maturities. However, they will also have less potential for capital
appreciation due to the likelihood of increased prepayments of mortgages as
interest rates decline. In addition, to the extent ARMs are purchased at a
premium, mortgage foreclosures and unscheduled principal prepayments will result
in some loss of the holder's principal investment to the extent of the premium
paid. On the other hand, if ARMs are purchased at a discount, both a scheduled
payment of principal and an unscheduled prepayment of principal will increase
current and total returns and will accelerate the recognition of income which,
when distributed to shareholders, will be taxable as ordinary income.

RISKS OF THE MONEY MARKET FUND. In periods of declining interest rates the
Money Market Fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market
rates; conversely, in periods of rising interest rates, the Money Market Fund's
yield will tend to be somewhat lower than those rates. Also, when interest rates
are falling, the net new money flowing into the Money Market Fund from the sale
of its shares and reinvestment of dividends likely will be invested by the Fund
in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the securities held by
the Fund, thereby reducing the Fund's yield. The opposite generally will be true
in periods of rising interest rates. The Money Market Fund is designed to
provide maximum current income consistent with the liquidity and safety afforded
by investment in high quality money market instruments; the Money Market Fund's
yield may be lower than that produced by funds investing directly in lower
quality and/or longer-term securities.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CURRENCY, OPTIONS AND
FUTURES STRATEGIES

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund (except the Money Market Fund) may employ certain risk management
practices involving the use of forward currency contracts, options contracts and
futures contracts to attempt to hedge its portfolio, i.e., reduce the overall
level of investment risk normally associated with the Fund. These instruments
are often referred to as "derivatives," which may be defined as financial
instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance
of another asset (such as a security, currency, or an index of securities). The
Funds may enter into such investments up to the full value of their portfolio
assets. There can be no assurance that such risk management practices will
succeed. These hedging techniques are described below and are further detailed
in the Statement of Additional Information.

---------------------

Prospectus Page 34
<PAGE> 36

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

To attempt to increase return, the Growth & Income Fund, the Strategic Income
Fund, the Global Government Income Fund and the U.S. Government Income Fund may
write covered call options on securities they hold. This strategy will be
employed only when, in the opinion of LGT Asset Management, the size of the
premium the Fund receives for writing the option is adequate to compensate the
Fund against the risk that appreciation in the underlying security may not be
fully realized if the option is exercised. Each of these Funds is also
authorized to write covered put options to attempt to enhance return.

To attempt to hedge against adverse movements in exchange rates between
currencies, each Fund (except the Money Market Fund) may enter into forward
currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specified currency at a
specified future date. Such contracts may involve the purchase or sale of a
foreign currency against the U.S. dollar or may involve two foreign currencies.
Each such Fund may enter into forward currency contracts either with respect to
specific transactions or with respect to specific securities held by the Fund.
For example, when a Fund anticipates making a purchase or sale of a security, it
may enter into a forward currency contract in order to set the rate (either
relative to the U.S. dollar or another currency) at which a currency exchange
transaction related to the purchase or sale will be made. Further, when LGT
Asset Management believes that a particular currency may decline compared to the
U.S. dollar or another currency, each such Fund may enter into a forward
contract to sell the currency LGT Asset Management expects to decline in an
amount approximating the value of some or all of the Fund's securities
denominated in a foreign currency. Each such Fund also may write covered call
options and purchase put and call options on currencies to hedge against
movements in exchange rates.

In addition, each Fund (except the Money Market Fund) may write covered call
options and purchase put and call options on equity and debt securities to hedge
against the risk of fluctuations in the prices of securities held by the Fund or
which LGT Asset Management intends to purchase for the Fund. Each such Fund,
except for the Strategic Income Fund, the Global Government Income Fund and the
U.S. Government Income Fund, also may write covered call options and buy put and
call options on stock indices. Such stock index options serve to hedge against
overall fluctuations in the securities markets generally, rather than
anticipated increases or decreases in the value of a particular security.

Further, each such Fund, except for the Strategic Income Fund, the Global
Government Income Fund and the U.S. Government Income Fund, may sell stock index
futures contracts and may purchase put options or write covered call options on
such futures contracts to protect against a general stock market decline that
could adversely affect the value of securities held by the Fund. Such Funds also
may buy stock index futures contracts and purchase call options on such
contracts to hedge against a general stock market or market sector advance and
thereby attempt to lessen the cost of future securities acquisitions. Such
Funds, (including the Strategic Income Fund, the Global Government Income Fund
and the U.S. Government Income Fund), may use interest rate futures contracts
and options thereon to hedge debt securities held by it against changes in the
general level of interest rates. Each Fund may write only "covered" call
options. Each Fund will also "cover" stock index options and options on futures
contracts that it writes.

SWAPS, CAPS, FLOORS AND COLLARS. The Strategic Income Fund may enter into
interest rate, currency and index swaps, and purchase or sell related caps,
floors and collars and other derivative instruments. The Strategic Income Fund
expects to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or
spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, to protect
against currency fluctuations as a duration management technique or to protect
against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing
at a later date. The Strategic Income Fund intends to use these transactions as
hedges and not as speculative investments and will not sell interest rate caps
or floors if it does not own securities or other instruments providing the
income the Strategic Income Fund may be obligated to pay. Interest rate swaps
involve the exchange by the Strategic Income Fund with another party of their
respective commitments to pay or receive interest (for example, an exchange of
floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) with respect to a notional
amount of principal.

A currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on a notional amount
based on changes in the values of the reference indices. The purchase of an
interest rate cap entitles the

---------------------

Prospectus Page 35
<PAGE> 37

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

purchaser to receive payments on a notional principal amount from the party
selling the cap to the extent that a specified index exceeds a predetermined
interest rate. The purchase of an interest rate floor entitles the purchaser to
receive payments of interest on a notional principal amount from the party
selling the interest rate floor to the extent that a specified index falls below
a predetermined interest rate or amount. A collar is a combination of a cap and
a floor that preserves a certain return with a predetermined range of interest
rates or values.

The Strategic Income Fund enters into interest rate protection transactions only
with banks and recognized securities dealers believed by LGT Asset Management to
present minimal credit risks in accordance with guidelines established by the
Company's Board of Trustees. If there is a default by the other party to such a
transaction, the Strategic Income Fund will have to rely on its contractual
remedies (which may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws)
pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. The swap market has grown
substantially in recent years, with a large number of banks and investment
banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized
swap documentation. Caps, collars and floors are more recent innovations for
which documentation is less standardized, and, accordingly, are less liquid than
swaps.

INDEXED COMMERCIAL PAPER. The Strategic Income Fund also may invest without
limitation in commercial paper which is indexed to certain specific foreign
currency exchange rates. The terms of such commercial paper provide that its
principal amount is adjusted upwards or downwards (but not below zero) at
maturity to reflect changes in the exchange rate between two currencies while
the obligation is outstanding. The Fund will purchase such commercial paper with
the currency in which it is denominated and, at maturity, will receive interest
and principal payments thereon in that currency, but the amount of principal
payable by the issuer at maturity will change in proportion to the change (if
any) in the exchange rate between the two specified currencies between the date
the instrument is issued and the date the instrument matures. While such
commercial paper entails the risk of loss of principal, the potential for
realizing gains as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
enables the Strategic Income Fund to hedge (or cross-hedge) against a decline in
the U.S. dollar value of investments denominated in foreign currencies while
providing an attractive money market rate of return. The Strategic Income Fund
will purchase such commercial paper for hedging purposes only, not for
speculation. The staff of the SEC is currently considering whether the purchase
of this type of commercial paper by mutual funds such as the Strategic Income
Fund would result in the issuance of a "senior security" within the meaning of
the 1940 Act. The Strategic Income Fund believes that such investments do not
involve the creation of such a senior security but, nevertheless, has
undertaken, pending the resolution of this issue by the SEC staff, to establish
a segregated account with respect to its investments in this type of commercial
paper and to maintain in such account cash not available for investment or U.S.
government securities or liquid, high grade debt securities having a value equal
to the aggregate, outstanding principal amount of the commercial paper of this
type that is held by the Strategic Income Fund.

Although the Funds might not employ any of the foregoing strategies, the use of
forward currency contracts, options and futures would involve certain investment
risks and transaction costs to which they might not otherwise be subject. These
risks include: dependence on LGT Asset Management's ability to predict movements
in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in the general securities
markets and movements in interest rates and currency markets; imperfect
correlation between movements in the prices of currencies, options, futures
contracts or options thereon and movements in the price of the currency or
security hedged or used for cover; the fact that skills and techniques needed to
trade options, futures contracts and options thereon or to use forward currency
contracts are different from those needed to select the securities in which the
Funds invest; lack of assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for
any particular option, futures contract or option thereon at any particular
time, which may cause a Fund to purchase or sell a portfolio security at a
disadvantageous time, which, in turn, may cause an increase in that Fund's rate
of portfolio turnover; and the possible need to defer closing out of certain
options, futures contracts and options thereon in order for a Fund to qualify or
continue to qualify for the beneficial tax treatment afforded regulated
investment companies under the Code. See "Taxes" in the Statement of Additional
Information.

HOW TO INVEST

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shares of the Funds currently are offered to separate accounts established by
the Participating Insurance Companies for funding variable annuity contracts
("Separate Accounts") pursuant to the insurance laws of their respective
jurisdictions.

The owners of such contracts may allocate premium payments among the general
accounts of the Participating Insurance Companies and the divisions of the
Separate Accounts which correspond to the Funds. Individuals may not pay
variable annuity premiums directly to the Funds. These Separate Accounts are
registered with the SEC as unit investment trusts, each having a prospectus of
its own.

Shares of the Funds are offered and redeemed at their respective net asset
values without the addition of any sales load or redemption charge next
determined following receipt by a Separate Account of premium payments,
surrender requests under policies, loan payments, transfer requests, and similar
or related transactions. The Funds do not issue share certificates. See
"Calculation of Net Asset Value."

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund calculates its net asset value as of the close of normal trading on
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, unless
weather, equipment failure or other factors contribute to an earlier closing
time) each Business Day. Net asset value per share is computed by determining
the value of each Fund's assets (the securities it holds plus any cash or other
assets, including interest and dividends accrued but not yet received),
subtracting all the Fund's liabilities (including accrued expenses), and
dividing the result by the total number of shares outstanding at such time.

Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the exchange or in the
principal OTC market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of
business on the day the securities are being valued, or, lacking any sales, at
the last available bid price. Fixed income securities and debt securities
generally are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid or asked prices.
Short-term debt investments are amortized to maturity based on their cost,
adjusted for foreign exchange translation.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by or under direction of the respective
Company's Board of Trustees. Securities quoted in foreign currencies will be
valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. Each
Fund's portfolio securities, from time to time, may be listed primarily on
foreign exchanges or OTC dealer markets which may trade on days when the NYSE is
closed (such as Saturday). As a result, the net asset value of a Fund may be
affected significantly by such trading on days when shareholders have no access
to that Fund.

The Money Market Fund uses the amortized cost method of valuing its investments,
pursuant to which the market value of an instrument is approximated by
amortizing the difference between the acquisition cost and value at maturity of
the instrument on a straight-line basis over its remaining life. All cash,
receivables and current payables are carried at their face value.

The Money Market Fund intends to use its best efforts to maintain its net asset
value at $1.00 per share. There can be no assurance that the Money Market Fund
will be able to maintain a stable $1.00 per share price. The value of each share
of the Money Market Fund is computed by dividing the Fund's net assets by the
number of its outstanding shares. "Net assets" equal the value of the Money
Market Fund's investments and other assets, less its liabilities.

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIVIDENDS, OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
AND FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Money Market Fund declares dividends from net investment income on each day
the Fund determines its net asset value, payable to shareholders of record as of
the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the preceding business day.
Dividends are usually paid on the last calendar day of each month. The Fund's
net investment income consists of accrued interest and earned discount
(including both original issue and market discounts), less amortization of
market premium and applicable expenses, and is calculated immediately prior to
the determination of net asset value per share. The Fund generally distributes
to its shareholders any net short-term capital gain annually after the end of
its fiscal year on December 31 but may make earlier distributions of that gain
if necessary to maintain its net asset value per share at $1.00 or to avoid
income or excise taxes. The Fund does not expect to realize long-term capital
gain.

The Strategic Income Fund, the Global Government Income Fund and the U.S.
Government Income Fund declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if
any, monthly.

The Growth & Income Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income,
if any, and net short-term capital gains, if any, quarterly.

Each other Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any,
annually, and all Funds also annually distribute to their shareholders all of
their net short-term capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over
net short-term capital loss), if any, and any net gains from foreign currency
transactions. Dividends and other distributions from a Fund are paid in
additional shares of that Fund at net asset value per share, unless the transfer
agent is instructed otherwise. See the applicable VA Contract prospectus for
information regarding the federal income tax treatment of distributions to the
Separate Accounts.

Each Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company
("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Code. In each taxable year that a Fund so
qualifies, the Fund (but not its shareholders) will be relieved of federal
income tax on that part of its investment company taxable income (consisting
generally of net investment income, net gains from certain foreign currency
transactions and net short-term capital gain), and net capital gain that is
distributed to Fund shareholders. Each Fund will distribute to its shareholders
at least 90% of its investment company taxable income.

Fund shares are offered only to Separate Accounts established to fund variable
annuity contracts. Under the Code, no tax is imposed on an insurance company
with respect to income of a qualifying separate account properly allocable to
the value of eligible variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. See
the applicable VA Contract prospectus for a discussion of the federal income tax
status of (1) the Separate Accounts that purchase and hold shares of the Funds
and (2) the holders of VA Contracts funded through those accounts.

Each Fund intends to comply with the diversification requirements imposed by
section 817(h) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. These requirements,
which are in addition to the diversification requirements imposed on the Funds
by the 1940 Act and Subchapter M of the Code, place certain limitations on the
amount of assets of each Separate Account -- and, because section 817(h) and
those regulations treat each Fund's assets as assets of the related Separate
Accounts -- that can be invested in securities of a single issuer.

Specifically, the regulations provide in part that, except as permitted by the
"safe harbor" described below, as of the end of each calender quarter or within
30 days thereafter, no more than 55% of the total assets of a Fund may be
invested in the securities of any one issuer. For this purpose, all securities
of the same issuer are consolidated, and, while each U.S. government agency and
instrumentality is considered a separate issuer, a particular foreign government
and its agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions are all
considered to be the same issuer. Section 817(h) provides, as a safe harbor,
that adequate diversification will exist for a separate account if the
diversification

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

requirements under Subchapter M are satisfied and no more than 55% of the value
of the separate account's total assets are cash and cash items, government
securities and securities of other RICs. Failure of a Fund to satisfy the
section 817(h) requirements would result in treatment of the VA Contract holders
other than as described in the applicable VA Contract prospectus.

The foregoing is only a summary of some of the important federal income tax
considerations generally affecting the Funds and the Separate Accounts. See the
Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MANAGEMENT

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Company's Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the operation of
the Funds organized as series of that Company. Pursuant to such responsibility,
the Board of each Company has approved contracts with various financial
organizations to provide, among other things, day to day management services
required by its Funds.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION SERVICES FOR THE FUNDS. Services
provided by LGT Asset Management as each Fund's investment manager and
administrator include, but are not limited to, determining the composition of
each securities portfolio and placing orders to buy, sell or hold particular
securities; furnishing corporate officers and clerical staff; providing office
space, services and equipment; and supervising all matters relating to each
Fund's operation. For these services, the Money Market Fund pays LGT Asset
Management an investment management and administration fee at the annualized
rate of 0.50% of that Fund's average daily net assets. The America Fund, the
Strategic Income Fund, the Global Government Income Fund and the U.S. Government
Income Fund each pays LGT Asset Management an investment management and
administration fee at the annualized rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily
net assets. Each other Fund pays LGT Asset Management an investment management
and administration fee at the annualized rate of 1.00% of its average daily net
assets. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly. These rates are higher
than those paid by most mutual funds.

In addition, LGT provides services as each Fund's pricing and fund accounting
agent. For those services, each Fund pays LGT Asset Management a pro-rated fee
(calculated based on each Fund's average daily net assets) at the annualized
rate of .03% of the first $5 billion of LGT U.S. mutual fund assets and .02% in
excess of $5 billion thereafter.

LGT Asset Management provides investment management and/or administration
services to the GT Global Mutual Funds. LGT Asset Management and its worldwide
asset management affiliates have provided investment management and/or
administration services to institutional, corporate and individual clients
around the world since 1969. The U.S. offices of LGT Asset Management are
located at 50 California Street, 27th Floor, San Francisco, California 94111.

LGT Asset Management and its worldwide affiliates, including LGT Bank in
Liechtenstein, formerly Bank in Liechtenstein, comprise Liechtenstein Global
Trust, formerly BIL GT Group Limited. On January 1, 1996, G.T. Capital
Management, Inc. was renamed LGT Asset Management, Bank in Liechtenstein was
renamed LGT Bank in Liechtenstein, and BIL GT Group Limited was renamed
Liechtenstein Global Trust. Liechtenstein Global Trust is a provider of global
asset management and private banking products and services to individual and
institutional investors. Liechtenstein Global Trust is controlled by the Prince
of Liechtenstein Foundation, which serves as the parent organization for the
various business enterprises of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein. The
principal business address of the Prince of Liechtenstein Foundation is

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

In placing securities orders for the Funds, LGT Asset Management seeks to obtain
the best net results. LGT Asset Management has no agreement or commitment to
place orders with any broker/dealer. Commissions or discounts in foreign
securities exchanges or OTC markets often are fixed and generally are higher
than those in U.S. securities exchanges or markets. Debt securities generally
are traded on a "net" basis with a dealer acting as principal for its own
account without a stated commission, although the price of the security usually
includes a profit to the dealer. U.S. and foreign government securities and
money market instruments generally are traded in the OTC markets. In
underwritten offerings, securities usually are purchased at a fixed price which
includes an amount of compensation to the underwriter. On occasion, securities
may be purchased directly from an issuer, in which case no commissions are paid
and no discounts obtained. Broker/dealers may receive commissions on futures,
currency and options transactions. Brokerage transactions for the Funds may be
executed through any Liechtenstein Global Trust affiliates.

FUND EXPENSES. Each Fund pays all of its respective expenses not assumed by LGT
Asset Management and other agents. These expenses include, in addition to the
advisory and brokerage fees discussed above, legal and audit expenses, custodian
and transfer agent fees, Trustees fees, organizational fees, fidelity bond and
other insurance premiums, taxes, extraordinary expenses and expenses of reports
and prospectuses sent to existing investors. Certain of these expenses, such as
custodial fees and brokerage fees, generally are higher for non-U.S. securities.

LGT Asset Management has undertaken to limit the total operating expenses
(exclusive of brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary items) of
each of the New Pacific Fund, the Europe Fund, the International Fund, the
Emerging Markets Fund, the Latin America Fund, the Infrastructure Fund, the
Natural Resources Fund, the Telecommunications Fund, and the Growth & Income
Fund to 1.25% of their respective net assets. In addition, LGT Asset Management
has undertaken to limit the total operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage
commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary items) of each of the America
Fund, the Strategic Income Fund, the Global Government Income Fund, and the U.S.
Government Income Fund to 1.00% of their respective net assets. Likewise, LGT
Asset Management has undertaken to limit the total operating expenses (exclusive
of brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary items) of the Money
Market Fund to .75% of its net assets.

During the fiscal period ended December 31, 1994, LGT Asset Management in its
sole discretion had undertaken to waive or reimburse the total operating
expenses (exclusive of brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary
items) of each of the Emerging Markets Fund and the International Fund until the
total assets of each Fund reach $2 million; thereafter LGT Asset Management had
undertaken to limit such operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage commissions,
interest, taxes and extraordinary items) to an annual rate of 1.25% of each
Fund's average daily net assets.

During the fiscal period January 31, 1995 through December 31, 1995, LGT Asset
Management in its sole discretion has undertaken to waive or reimburse the total
operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and
extraordinary items) of each of the Infrastructure Fund and the Natural
Resources Fund until the total assets of each Fund reach $2 million; thereafter
LGT Asset Management has undertaken to limit such operating expenses (exclusive
of brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary items) to an annual
rate of 1.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets.

From time to time, LGT Asset Management in its sole discretion may waive its
fees and/or voluntarily assume certain Fund expenses. All general expenses of
each Company and joint expenses of the Funds (see "Other Information") are
allocated among the Funds on a basis deemed fair and equitable.

OTHER INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS. Each of the following Funds is classified as a
"diversified" investment company under the 1940 Act: the New Pacific Fund, the
Europe Fund, the America Fund, the Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources
Fund, the Telecommunications Fund, the U.S. Government Income Fund, the
International Fund, the Emerging Markets Fund, and the Money Market Fund. This
means that with respect to 75% of each Fund's total assets, no more than 5% will
be invested in the securities of any one issuer, and each Fund will purchase no
more than 10% of the voting securities of any one issuer.

Each of the following Funds is classified as a "non-diversified" investment
company under the 1940 Act: the Latin America Fund, the Growth & Income Fund,
the Strategic Income Fund and the Global Government Income Fund. Each such Fund,
however, intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for
federal income tax purposes. This means, in general, that more than 5% of the
Fund's total assets may be invested in securities of one issuer but only if, at
the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, the aggregate amount of
such holdings does not exceed 50% of the value of its total assets and no more
than 25% of the value of its total assets is invested in the securities of a
single issuer.

Because each such Fund is permitted to invest a greater proportion of its assets
in the securities of a smaller number of issuers, each such Fund may be subject
to greater investment and credit risk with respect to its portfolio than a Fund
that is more broadly diversified.

ORGANIZATION. Each of G.T. Global Variable Investment Trust and G.T. Global
Variable Investment Series is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is
registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company. Each
Company and each Fund of each Company, except the Telecommunications Fund, the
Emerging Markets Fund, the International Fund, the Infrastructure Fund and the
Natural Resources Fund, commenced operations on February 10, 1993. The
Telecommunications Fund commenced operations on October 18, 1993. The Emerging
Markets Fund and the International Fund commenced operations on July 5, 1994.
The Infrastructure Fund and the Natural Resources Fund commenced operations on
January 31, 1995. The fiscal year end for each Company is December 31.

From time to time, each Company's Board of Trustees may, in its discretion,
establish additional series and issue shares of additional series of the
Company's shares of beneficial interest. Shares of the Funds are entitled to one
vote per share (with proportional voting for fractional shares). Shareholders
have no preemptive or conversion rights.

On any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders, shares of each Fund will be
voted by that Fund's shareholders individually when the matter affects the
specific interest of that Fund only. The shares of all Funds of a Company will
be voted in the aggregate on other matters, such as the election of Trustees and
ratification of that Company's Board of Trustees' selection of the Company's
independent accountants. In accordance with current law, the Funds anticipate
that when a Participating Insurance Company issues a VA Contract that invests in
a Company, VA Contract holders will be asked for instructions on how to vote,
and shares will be voted by a Participating Insurance Company in accordance with
the voting instructions received. For further information on voting rights, see
the VA Contract prospectus.

The Companies normally will not hold annual meetings of shareholders, except as
required under the 1940 Act. Either Company would be required to hold a
shareholders meeting in the event that at any time less than a majority of that
Company's Trustees holding office had been elected by shareholders. Trustees
shall continue to hold office until their successors are elected and have
qualified. Fund shares do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that
the holders of a majority of the shares of all of a Company's Funds in the
aggregate voting for the election of Trustees can elect all the Trustees. A
Trustee may be removed upon a majority vote of the shareholders qualified to
vote in the election. Shareholders holding 10% of a Company's outstanding voting
shares may call a meeting of

---------------------

Prospectus Page 47

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any
Trustee or for any other purpose. The 1940 Act requires each Company to assist
shareholders in calling such a meeting.

Pursuant to each Company's Declaration of Trust, each Company may issue an
unlimited number of shares for each of its Funds. Each share of a Fund
represents an interest in that Fund only, has no par value, represents an equal
proportionate interest in the Fund with other shares of the Fund and is entitled
to such dividends and other distributions out of the income earned and gain
realized on the assets belonging to the Fund as may be declared by the Board of
Trustees.

Effective July 5, 1994, the name of "G.T. Global: Variable Pacific Fund" was
changed to "G.T. Global: Variable New Pacific Fund" and its investment policy
was revised by the Board of Trustees to remove Japan from the Fund's Primary
Investment Area. On January 2, 1996, the name of each of the GT Global Variable
Investment Funds was modified in connection with the renaming of the VA
Contracts' underwriter, GT Global, Inc., formerly G.T. Global Financial
Services, Inc. No amendments or revisions to any of the Fund's investment
policies occurred in connection with such modification.

Currently, owners of VA Contracts issued by the Participating Insurance
Companies for which shares of one or more Funds are the investment vehicle will
receive from such Participating Insurance Company unaudited semi-annual
financial statements and audited year-end financial statements certified by the
Fund's independent public auditors. Each report will show the investments owned
by the Fund and the market values thereof as determined by the Trustees and will
provide other information about the Fund and its operations.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION. The Funds, from time to time, may include information
on their investment results and/or comparisons of their investment results
to various unmanaged indices or results of other mutual funds or groups of
mutual funds whose shares are offered to insurance company separate accounts,
in advertisements, sales literature or reports furnished to present or
prospective shareholders.

In such materials, each Fund may quote its average annual total return
("Standardized Return"). Standardized Return shows percentage rates reflecting
the average annual change in the value of an assumed investment in the Fund at
the end of a one-year period and at the end of five-and ten-year periods. If a
one-, five-and/or ten-year period has not yet elapsed, data will be provided as
of the end of a shorter period corresponding to the life of the Fund.
Standardized Return assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and other
distributions at net asset value on the reinvestment date as established by the
Board of Trustees.

In addition, in order to more completely represent each Fund's performance or
more accurately compare such performance to other measures of investment return,
each Fund also may include in advertisements, sales literature and shareholder
reports other total return performance data ("Non-Standardized Return").
Non-Standardized Return reflects percentage rates of return encompassing all
elements of return (i.e., income and capital appreciation or depreciation); it
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions. Non-Standardized
Return may be quoted for the same or different periods as those for which
Standardized Return is quoted; it may consist of an aggregate or average annual
percentage rate of return, actual year-by-year rates or any combination thereof.

The Strategic Income Fund, the Global Government Income Fund and the U.S.
Government Income Fund also may refer in advertising and promotional materials
to their respective yields, which will fluctuate over time. A Fund's yield shows
the rate of income that it earns on its investments, expressed as a percentage
of the public offering price of its shares. A Fund calculates yield by
determining the interest income it earned from its portfolio investments for a
specified thirty-day period (net of expenses), dividing such income by the
average number of shares outstanding, and expressing the result as an annualized
percentage based on the public offering price at the end of that thirty-day
period. Yield accounting methods differ from the methods used for other
accounting purposes; accordingly, a Fund's yield may not equal the dividend
income actually paid to investors or the income reported in the Fund's financial
statements.

---------------------

Prospectus Page 48
<PAGE> 50

-----------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

From time to time the Money Market Fund may advertise its "yield" and "effective
yield" in advertisements or promotional materials. Both yield figures are based
on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. It
can be expected that these yields will fluctuate substantially. The "yield" of
the Money Market Fund refers to the income generated by an investment in the
Fund over a seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement).
This income is then "annualized." That is, the amount of income generated by the
investment during that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week
period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is
calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in
the Fund is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly
higher than the "yield" because of the compounding effect of this assumed
reinvestment. The Statement of Additional Information describes the methods used
to calculate the Money Market Fund's yield and effective yield.

In addition to "yield" and "effective yield," advertisements or promotional
materials also may include other performance data of the Money Market Fund which
may consist of (1) the actual return or total income (including realized net
short-term capital gain, if any) generated by a hypothetical investment in the
Fund year-by-year since the commencement of the Fund's operations, (2) the
compounded return or total income generated by a hypothetical investment in the
Fund year by year for the same period, assuming reinvestment of all dividends
and any other distributions, and (3) the cumulative return (or overall change in
account value) of a hypothetical investment in the Fund year by year over the
same period, also assuming reinvestment of all dividends and any other
distributions.

Each Fund's performance data will reflect past performance and will not
necessarily be indicative of future results. The Fund's investment results will
vary from time to time depending upon market conditions, the composition of its
portfolio and its operating expenses. Yield and performance information of any
Fund will not be compared with such information for funds that offer their
shares directly to the public, because Fund data do not reflect charges imposed
by a Participating Insurance Company on the VA Contracts. The effective yield
and total return for a Fund should be distinguished from the rate of return of a
corresponding division of a separate account of such Participating Insurance
Company, which rate will reflect the deduction of additional charges, including
mortality and expense risk charges, and will therefore be lower. Accordingly,
performance figures for a Fund will only be advertised if comparable performance
figures for the corresponding division of the separate account are included in
the advertisement. VA Contract holders should consult their Participating
Insurance Company's VA Contract prospectus for further information. Each Fund's
results also should be considered relative to the risks associated with its
investment objectives and policies.

Calculations of a Fund's yield or performance information may reflect any
undertaking that may be in effect. See "Management" and "Investment Results" in
the Statement of Additional Information.

Each Fund's annual report contains additional information with respect to its
performance. The annual report is available to investors upon request and free
of charge.

TRANSFER AGENT. Reporting and general transfer agent functions for the Funds
and servicing of the Separate Accounts are performed by GT Global Investor
Services, Inc., an affiliate of LGT Asset Management and a subsidiary of
Liechtenstein Global Trust. GT Global Investor Services, Inc. maintains its
offices at 50 California Street, San Francisco, California 94111.

CUSTODIAN. State Street Bank and Trust Company, 225 Franklin Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02110, is custodian of each Fund's assets.

COUNSEL. The law firm of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP, 1800 M Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20036-5891, acts as counsel to the Companies. Kirkpatrick &
Lockhart LLP also acts as counsel to LGT Asset Management and GT Global, Inc. in
connection with other matters.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS. The Companies' and the Funds' independent accountants
are Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., One Post Office Square, Boston Massachusetts
02109. Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. conducts an annual audit of the Funds, assists
in the preparation of the Funds' federal and state income tax returns and
consults with the Companies and the Funds as to matters of accounting,
regulatory filings, and federal and state income taxation.

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund has its own investment objective(s) and investment policies. The
objective(s) and policies of each Fund determine the types of securities in
which that Fund may invest.

The investment objective of each of the following Global Growth Funds, as
defined in the Prospectus, is long-term growth of capital:
GT GLOBAL VARIABLE NEW PACIFIC FUND
("New Pacific Fund"), GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INTERNATIONAL FUND ("International
Fund"), GT GLOBAL VARIABLE EUROPE FUND ("Europe Fund") and GT GLOBAL VARIABLE
AMERICA FUND ("America Fund"). GT GLOBAL VARIABLE LATIN AMERICA FUND ("Latin
America Fund") seeks capital appreciation. The investment objective of each of
GT GLOBAL VARIABLE EMERGING MARKETS FUND ("Emerging Markets Fund") and GT GLOBAL
VARIABLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND ("Telecommunications Fund") is long-term growth
of capital. The investment objective of each of GT GLOBAL VARIABLE
INFRASTRUCTURE FUND ("Infrastructure Fund") and GT GLOBAL VARIABLE NATURAL
RESOURCES FUND ("Natural Resources Fund") is long-term capital growth. The
investment objectives of GT GLOBAL VARIABLE GROWTH & INCOME FUND ("Growth &
Income Fund") are long-term capital appreciation together with current income.
GT GLOBAL VARIABLE STRATEGIC INCOME FUND ("Strategic Income Fund") seeks high
current income as its primary investment objective. The Strategic Income Fund's
secondary investment objective is capital appreciation. GT GLOBAL VARIABLE
GLOBAL GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND ("Global Government Income Fund") primarily seeks
high current income. The Global Government Income Fund's secondary investment
objectives are capital appreciation and protection of principal through active
management of the maturity structure and currency exposure. The investment
objective of GT GLOBAL VARIABLE U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND ("U.S. Government
Income Fund") is a high level of current income, consistent with the
preservation of capital. The investment objective of GT GLOBAL MONEY MARKET FUND
("Money Market Fund") is maximum current income consistent with liquidity and
conservation of capital.

Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective(s) through a distinct set of
investment policies. In determining the appropriate distribution of investments
among various countries and geographic regions for the Funds, LGT Asset
Management ordinarily considers the following factors: prospects for relative
economic growth between the different countries in which each Fund may invest;
expected levels of inflation; government policies influencing business
conditions; the outlook for currency relationships; and the range of the
individual investment opportunities available to international investors.

In analyzing companies for investment by each Fund, LGT Asset Management
ordinarily looks for one or more of the following characteristics: above-average
earnings growth per share; high return on invested capital; healthy balance
sheet; sound financial and accounting policies and overall financial strength;
strong competitive advantages; effective research and product development and
marketing; efficient service; pricing flexibility; strength of management; and
general operating characteristics which will enable the companies to compete
successfully in their respective marketplaces. In certain countries,
governmental restrictions and other limitations on investment may affect the
maximum percentage of equity ownership in any one company by a Fund or the Funds
in the aggregate. In addition, in some instances only special classes of
securities may be purchased by foreigners and the market prices, liquidity and
rights with respect to those securities may vary from shares owned by nationals.

There may be times when, in the opinion of LGT Asset Management, prevailing
market, economic or political conditions warrant reducing the proportion
invested in equity securities of issuers domiciled in a Fund's area of
investment focus below the applicable percentage of the Fund's assets and
increasing the proportion held in cash or short-term obligations denominated in
U.S. dollars or other currencies. A portion of each Fund's assets normally will
be held in U.S. dollars or short-term interest-bearing U.S. dollar-denominated
securities to provide for ongoing expenses and redemptions.

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

At this time, LGT Asset Management is not aware of the existence of any
investment or exchange control regulations which might substantially impair the
operations of the Funds as described in the Prospectus and this Statement of
Additional Information. Although restrictions may in the future make it
undesirable to invest in certain countries, LGT Asset Management does not
believe that any current repatriation restrictions would affect its decisions to
invest in the countries eligible for investment by any Fund. It should be noted,
however, that this situation could change at any time.

Each GLOBAL GROWTH FUND under normal circumstances invests at least 65% of its
total assets in equity securities of issuers domiciled in that Fund's "Primary
Investment Area."

For investment purposes, an issuer typically is considered as domiciled in a
particular country if it is incorporated under the laws of that country, and
either (i) at least 50% of the value of its assets are located in that country;
or (ii) it normally derives at least 50% of its income from operations or sales
in that country. However, these are not absolute requirements, and certain
companies incorporated in a particular country and considered by LGT Asset
Management to be domiciled in that country may have substantial off-shore
operations or subsidiaries and/or export sales exceeding in size the assets or
sales in that country.

Each Global Growth Fund may also invest up to 35% of its assets in (1) the
equity securities of issuers domiciled outside of its Primary Investment Area,
including, (a) securities of issuers in countries that are not located in the
Primary Investment Area but are linked by tradition, economic markets, cultural
similarities or geography to the countries in such Primary Investment Area; and
(b) securities of issuers located elsewhere in the world which have operations
in the Primary Investment Area or which stands to benefit from political and
economic events in the Primary Investment Area; and (2) convertible bonds and
debt securities.

SPECIAL RISKS

Special Considerations Affecting Europe. Currently, the Europe Fund includes
European countries in its Primary Investment Area. The countries that are
members of the European Economic Community ("Common Market") (Belgium, Denmark,
France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal,
Spain and the United Kingdom) eliminated certain import tariffs and quotas,
limitations on the employment of non-citizens and other trade barriers that
existed with respect to one another, over the past several years. LGT Asset
Management believes that this deregulation should improve the prospects for
economic growth in many European countries. Among other things, the deregulation
could enable companies domiciled in one country to avail themselves of lower
labor costs existing in other countries. In addition, this deregulation could
benefit companies domiciled in one country by opening additional markets for
their goods and services in other countries. Since, however, it is not clear at
this time the exact effect these Common Market reforms will have on business in
the Common Market, it is impossible to predict the impact of the implementation
of this program on the securities owned by the Europe Fund.

Special Considerations Affecting Japan and Hong Kong. The concentration of
investments by a Fund in Japan means that the Fund may be more volatile than a
Fund that is broadly diversified geographically. Overseas trade is important to
Japan's economy. Japan has few natural resources and must export to pay for its
imports of these basic requirements. Because of the concentration of Japanese
exports in highly visible products, Japan has had difficult relations with its
trading partners, particularly the U.S., where the trade imbalance is the
greatest. It is possible that trade sanctions or other protectionist measures
could impact Japan adversely in both the short and the long term. The Japanese
securities markets are less regulated than those in the United States. Evidence
has emerged from time to time of distortion of market prices to serve political
or other purposes. Shareholders' rights are not always equally enforced.

Hong Kong is a British colony which will transfer sovereignty to the Peoples
Republic of China in 1997. China has espoused policies antagonistic to free
enterprise capitalism and democracy. There can be no guarantee that property
rights will continue to be safeguarded in Hong Kong after 1997, although,
recently China has moved progressively towards free enterprise, and has
established stock exchanges of its own.

Special Considerations Affecting Emerging Markets. Investing in the securities
of issuers domiciled in emerging markets, including the markets of Latin America
and certain Asian

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 3
<PAGE> 56

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

markets such as Taiwan, Malaysia and Indonesia, may entail special risks
relating to the potential political and economic instability and the risks of
expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions
on foreign investment and on repatriation of capital invested. In the event of
such expropriation, nationalization or other confiscation by any country, a Fund
could lose its entire investment in any such country.

Emerging securities markets are substantially smaller, less developed, less
liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets. The limited size of
emerging securities markets and limited trading volume in issuers compared to
the volume of trading in U.S. securities could cause prices to be erratic for
reasons apart from factors that affect the quality of the securities. For
example, limited market size may cause prices to be unduly influenced by traders
who control large positions. Adverse publicity and investors' perceptions,
whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and
liquidity of portfolio securities in these markets.

Most emerging market countries have experienced substantial, and in some periods
extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid
fluctuations in inflation rates have had and may continue to have negative
effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market
countries.

The INFRASTRUCTURE FUND normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in
securities of companies throughout the world that design, develop or provide
products and services significant to a country's infrastructure.

The NATURAL RESOURCES FUND normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in
securities of companies throughout the world that own, explore or develop
natural resources and other basic commodities, or supply goods and services to
such companies. In analyzing the natural resource industry, LGT Asset Management
has identified four areas that it expects will create investment opportunities:
(i) improving supply/demand fundamentals, which may result in higher commodity
prices; (ii) privatization of state-owned natural resource businesses; (iii)
management which can improve production efficiencies without correspondingly
increasing commodity prices; and (iv) service companies with emerging
technologies that can enhance productivity or reduce production costs. Of
course, there is no certainty that these factors will produce the anticipated
results.

The TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in
common and preferred stocks and warrants to acquire such stocks, issued by
companies throughout the world engaged in the development, manufacture or sale
of telecommunications services or equipment. In analyzing the telecommunications
industry, LGT Asset Management has identified four areas that it expects will
create investment opportunities and lead to growth in the sector: (a) the
deregulation of companies in the industry, which will allow competition to
promote greater efficiencies; (b) the privatization of state-owned
telecommunications businesses; (c) the development of infrastructure in
underdeveloped countries and upgrading of services in other countries; and (d)
emerging technologies, that will enhance productivity and reduce costs in the
telecommunications industry. Of course, there is no certainty that these factors
will produce the anticipated results.

LGT Asset Management believes that there are opportunities for continued growth
in demand for components, products, media and systems to collect, store,
retrieve, transmit, process, distribute, record, reproduce and use information.
The pervasive societal impact of communications and information has been
accelerated by the lower costs and higher efficiencies that result from the
blending of computers with telecommunications systems. Accordingly, companies
engaged in the production of methods for using electronic and, potentially,
video technology to communicate information are expected to be important in the
Telecommunications Fund's holdings. Older technologies, such as photography and
print also may be represented.

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 4
<PAGE> 57

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

The Telecommunications Fund and LGT Asset Management believe that a global
portfolio of telecommunications investments may be less subject to market risk
(the risk attendant to investing in a particular market) and price fluctuation,
than a portfolio invested solely in U.S. telecommunications securities. Under
the Telecommunications Fund's policies, LGT Asset Management may shift the
country allocations of the investments as market conditions in individual
countries change. Moreover, the number of different investment opportunities
from which the Telecommunications Fund may choose is significantly broader than
that of a fund investing solely in U.S. telecommunications securities.

The LATIN AMERICA FUND normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in
securities of a broad range of Latin American issuers. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund expects to invest primarily in equity and debt securities
issued by companies and governments in Mexico, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina.
Although the Latin America Fund can normally invest up to 35% of its total
assets in U.S. securities, the Fund reserves the right to be primarily invested
in U.S. securities for temporary defensive purposes or pending investment of the
proceeds of the sale of its shares.

It should be noted that some Latin American countries require governmental
approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of
securities sales by foreign investors. For instance, at present, capital
invested directly in Chile cannot under most circumstances be repatriated for at
least one year. The Latin America Fund could be adversely affected by delays in,
or a refusal to grant, any required governmental approval for repatriation, as
well as by the application to it of other restrictions on investments.

Several Latin American countries have adopted debt conversion programs, pursuant
to which investors may use external debt of a country, directly or indirectly,
to make investments in local companies. The terms of the various programs vary
from country to country, although each program includes significant restrictions
on the application of the proceeds received in the conversion and on the
remittance of profits on the investment and of the invested capital. The Latin
America Fund intends to acquire Sovereign Debt to hold and trade in appropriate
circumstances, as well as to use to participate in Latin American debt
conversion programs. See "Risk Factors" in the Funds' Prospectus and "Risk
Factors" below. LGT Asset Management will evaluate opportunities to enter into
debt conversion transactions as they arise but does not currently intend to
invest more than 5% of the Latin America Fund's assets in such programs.

As described in the Prospectus, several Latin American countries have issued
so-called "Brady Bonds." In Venezuela, bearer bonds known as Frontloaded
Interest Reduction Bonds, Debt Conversion Bonds and New Money Bonds have been
issued. Each of the foregoing types of bonds provides for a dollar-for-dollar
exchange of loans for bonds. At present, Frontloaded Interest Reduction Bonds
have a 12-year average life and pay below market rates for the first six years.
Debt Conversion Bonds also have a 12-year average life, pay interest at the
London InterBank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") plus 13/16% and, for every $1.00 in face
amount, enable the holder to purchase, at par, $0.20 face amount, which have an
average life of 11 years and pay interest at LIBOR plus 7/8% or 1%.

Political and Economic Risks. Even though opportunities for investment may exist
in Latin American countries, any change in the leadership or policies of the
governments of those countries or in the leadership or policies of any other
government which exercises a significant influence over those countries, may
halt the expansion of or reverse the liberalization of foreign investment
policies now occurring and thereby eliminate any investment opportunities which
may currently exist.

Investors should note that upon the accession to power of authoritarian regimes,
the governments of a number of Latin American countries previously expropriated
large quantities of real and personal property, similar to the property which
will be represented by the securities purchased by the Latin America Fund. The
claims of property owners against those governments were never finally settled.
There can be no assurance that any property represented by securities purchased
by the Latin America Fund will not also be expropriated, nationalized, or
otherwise confiscated. If such confiscation were to occur, the Latin America
Fund could lose a substantial portion of its investments in such countries. The
Latin America Fund's investments would similarly be adversely affected by
exchange control regulations in any of those countries.

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Further, there is a risk that an emergency situation may arise in one or more
Latin American markets as a result of which prices for portfolio securities in
such markets may not be readily available. Section 22(e) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act") permits a registered investment
company to suspend redemption of its shares for any period during which an
emergency, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
exists. Accordingly, if the Latin America Fund believes that appropriate
circumstances exist, it will promptly apply to the SEC for a determination that
an emergency, within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act, is present.
During the period commencing from the Latin America Fund's identification of
such conditions until the date of SEC action, the securities held by the Fund in
the affected markets will be valued at fair value determined in good faith by or
under the direction of the Company's Board of Trustees.

The Latin America Fund invests in securities denominated in currencies of Latin
American countries. Accordingly, changes in the value of these currencies
against the U.S. dollar will result in corresponding changes in the U.S. dollar
value of the Latin America Fund's assets denominated in those currencies. Such
changes will also affect the Latin America Fund's income.

In addition, many of the currencies of Latin American countries have experienced
steady devaluations relative to the U.S. dollar, and major devaluations have
historically occurred in certain countries.

Some Latin American countries also may have managed currencies which are not
free floating against the U.S. dollar. In addition, there is a risk that certain
Latin American countries may restrict the free conversion of their currencies
into other currencies. Further, certain Latin American currencies may not be
internationally traded. Certain of these currencies have experienced a steady
devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar. Any devaluations in the currencies in
which the securities held by the Latin America Fund are denominated may have a
detrimental impact on the Fund.

Illiquid Securities. On December 31, 1994, the market capitalizations of listed
equity securities on the major exchanges in Argentina, Brazil (Sao Paulo only
for market capitalization), Chile, and Mexico were US$24.2 billion, $94.8
billion, $38.8 billion, and $108.4 billion, respectively. By comparison, at
December 31, 1994, the market capitalization of the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") alone was US$4.4 trillion. A high proportion of the shares of many
Latin American companies may be held by a limited number of persons, which may
further limit the number of shares available for investment by the Latin America
Fund. A limited number of issuers in most, if not all, Latin American securities
markets may represent a disproportionately large percentage of market
capitalization and trading value. The limited liquidity of Latin American
securities markets also may affect the Latin America Fund's ability to acquire
or dispose of securities at the price and time it wishes. In addition, certain
Latin American securities markets, including those of Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
and Mexico, are susceptible to being influenced by large investors trading
significant blocks of securities or by large dispositions of securities
resulting from the failure to meet margin calls when due.

Accordingly, at any one time more than 15% of the Latin America Fund's net
assets may consist of illiquid securities, either because of adverse events
which occur following the purchase of the securities which cause them to become
illiquid, or because liquid securities are sold to meet cash needs of the Fund.
Illiquid securities are more difficult to value accurately due to, among other
things, the fact that such securities often trade infrequently or only in
smaller amounts. The Latin America Fund, however, will make every effort to hold
illiquid securities that reflect no more than 15% of the Fund's net assets.

The high volatility of certain Latin American securities markets is evidenced by
dramatic movements in the Brazilian and Mexican markets in recent years. The
stock markets in Brazil declined sharply in mid 1989, and closed briefly,
following a large settlement failure. Another significant decline occurred in
the first quarter of 1990. In 1987, the Mexican stock exchange experienced a
severe correction, its index declining over 70 percent. In June, 1992, the
Mexican stock exchange experienced a decline of approximately 14% of its index.
This market volatility may result in greater volatility in the Latin America
Fund's net asset value than would be the case for funds investing in domestic
securities. If the Latin America Fund were to experience unexpected cash
requirements, whether through the unexpected net redemption of Fund shares or
otherwise, it could be forced to

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

sell securities without regard to investment merit, thereby decreasing the asset
base over which Fund expenses can be spread and possibly reducing the Fund's
rate of return.

Foreign Investment Restrictions. Certain countries prohibit or impose
substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets, particularly
their equity markets, by foreign entities such as the Latin America Fund. As
illustrations, certain countries require governmental approval prior to
investments by foreign persons or limit the amount of investment by foreign
persons in a particular company or limit the investment by foreign persons to
only a specific class of securities of a company that may have less advantageous
terms than securities of the company available for purchase by nationals.
Moreover, the national policies of certain countries may restrict investment
opportunities in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to national interests.
In addition, some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation
of investment income, capital or the proceeds of securities sales by foreign
investors. The Latin America Fund could be adversely affected by delays in, or a
refusal to grant, any required governmental approval for repatriation, as well
as by the application to it of other restrictions on investments.

As of 1994, the relevant foreign investment restrictions in each of the four
principal economies of Latin America, which are susceptible to significant and
immediate changes, can be summarized as follows:

ARGENTINA. Previous restrictions on foreign investment have been abolished and
prior approval of such investment is no longer required (except where required
in specific statutes governing certain activities) ensuring equal treatment of
national and foreign capital applied to economic activities. At present, foreign
capital can move freely in and out of Argentina and no foreign exchange
restrictions are applied to dividend or capital gains remittance.

BRAZIL. Under regulations adopted by the government of Brazil, the Latin
America Fund is able to purchase Brazilian securities without regard to any
diversification or repatriation restrictions. However, the regulations require
that the Latin America Fund's investments be limited to securities issued by
publicly-held corporations acquired on the Brazilian stock exchanges or on
over-the-counter markets organized by the Commissao de Valores Mobiliarios
("CVM") or units of certain Financial Investment Funds. The Latin America Fund's
authority to invest in Brazil pursuant to this regulation remains subject to
approval by the CVM. In addition, the Latin America Fund is required to appoint
a Brazilian administrator to perform certain functions with respect to its
holdings of Brazilian securities.

CHILE. Direct investment by foreign investors in Chile is subject to certain
Chilean investment restrictions, including a requirement that invested capital
must remain in Chile for a minimum of one year. The remittance of dividends and
capital gains can be effected without material restrictions on timing and
amount. Indirect investments, however, may be made through already established
investment funds and such investments will not be subject to the restriction
regarding residency of capital, although they will be subject to the
limitations, described below, regarding investments by the Latin America Fund in
the securities of other investment companies. In addition to investing
indirectly in the Chilean market, the Latin America Fund may establish its own
foreign investment fund in Chile for which a Chilean administrator will be
required. The Latin America Fund may also gain access to investment in Chile via
American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") currently traded in the U.S. on the New
York Stock Exchange. Several Chilean companies plan ADR listings in the U.S. in
1994. LGT Asset Management believes these events significantly broaden the Latin
America Fund's ability to gain access to the Chilean market.

MEXICO. Generally, foreigners may directly acquire shares of Mexican companies
up to a limit of 49 percent of the share capital of the issuer without prior
approval. Foreigners may acquire shares in the share capital of certain Mexican
listed companies usually reserved to Mexican nationals, and may acquire in
excess of the 49 percent limit referred to above, through trust arrangements
with Nacional Financiera, S.N.C. ("Nafin"), the Mexican government development
finance bank. Under this arrangement Nafin will acquire the securities that the
Fund purchases and then issue Ordinary Certificates of Participation ("CEPOS").
As a holder of the CEPOS, the Latin America Fund would have all rights of the
shares acquired, but it would not have voting rights. There are no restrictions
on the movement of capital in and out of Mexico. Dividends and capital gains can

----------------------------------------------------

also be freely remitted, subject to any withholding tax.

VENEZUELA. LGT Asset Management believes that the Latin America Fund may invest
a greater percentage of its assets than previously in Venezuela if political and
economic conditions change materially. The following are relevant foreign
investment restrictions relating to Venezuela.

In order to stabilize the country's financial system, the government suspended
foreign exchange trading on July 6, 1994. The market was "officially" opened
July 11, however, the Bolivar did not begin trading until January 10, 1995 at a
level of 212 and 220 (the level held since December 1994).

The Venezuelan Exchange Administration Board issued Resolution No. 41 regarding
foreign investment registration and repatriation for capital dividends and
interest. The Resolution provides that all investment should be registered with
the Superintendency of Foreign Investment (SEIX) and the Technical
Administration Exchange Office (OTAC). Article 2 of the Resolution states that
"investments" is defined as those transactions executed through the local stock
exchange (this prohibits OTC transaction proceeds from being eligible for
repatriation).

Resolution No. 41 also required re-filing by funds previously approved. The Fund
has complied with the regulations and has obtained approval by the Regulatory
Commission. This avoids jeopardizing the assets held by the Fund.

In November 1994 the government passed a Resolution allowing foreign investors
to repatriate without restrictions under the new controlled exchange system. It
is now possible to repatriate any capital or income provided that the OTAC has
proof that the investor has obtained a tax identification code and complied with
all tax return filing requirements.

The EMERGING MARKETS FUND seeks its investment objective by investing, under
normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of
companies in emerging markets. The Emerging Markets Fund does not consider the
following countries to be emerging markets: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada,
Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United States.
The Emerging Markets Fund normally may invest up to 35% of its assets in a
combination of (i) debt securities of government or corporate issuers in
emerging markets; (ii) equity and debt securities of issuers in developed
countries, including the United States; (iii) securities of issuers in emerging
markets not included in the list of emerging markets set forth in the Emerging
Markets Fund's current Prospectus, if investing therein becomes feasible and
desirable subsequent to the date of the Emerging Markets Fund's current
Prospectus; and (iv) cash and money market instruments.

In determining what countries constitute emerging markets, LGT Asset Management
will consider, among other things, data, analysis, and classification of
countries published or disseminated by the International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development (commonly known as the World Bank) and the International Finance
Corporation.

Although the Emerging Markets Fund values its assets daily in terms of U.S.
dollars, the Emerging Markets Fund does not intend to convert its holdings of
foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. The Emerging Markets Fund
will do so from time to time, and investors should be aware of the costs of
currency conversion. Although foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for
conversion, they do realize a profit based on the difference ("spread") between
the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a
dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency to the Emerging Markets Fund at one
rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the Emerging Markets Fund
desire to sell that currency to the dealer.

The Emerging Markets Fund may be prohibited under the 1940 Act from purchasing
the securities of any foreign company that, in its most recent fiscal year,
derived more than 15% of its gross revenues from securities-related activities
("securities-related companies"). In a number of countries, commercial banks act
as securities broker/dealers, investment advisers and underwriters or otherwise
engage in securities-related activities, which may limit the Emerging Markets
Fund's ability to hold securities issued by banks. The SEC has proposed a rule
which, if adopted, may permit the Emerging Markets Fund to invest in certain of
these securities subject to certain restrictions. The Emerging Markets Fund has
obtained an exemption from the SEC to permit the Emerging Markets Fund to invest
in a

----------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

manner that is consistent with the SEC's proposed rule.

The GROWTH & INCOME FUND seeks its investment objectives by assembling a global
portfolio of both equity securities and debt obligations allocated among diverse
international markets.

For investment purposes, an issuer is typically considered as located in a
particular country if it is incorporated under the laws of that country, at
least 50% of the value of its assets are located in that country, and it
normally derives at least 50% of its income from operations or sales in that
country. However, these are not absolute requirements, and certain companies
incorporated in a particular country and considered by LGT Asset Management to
be located in that country may have substantial off-shore operations or
subsidiaries and/or export sales exceeding in size the assets or sales in that
country.

In certain countries, governmental restrictions and other limitations on
investment may affect the Growth and Income Fund's ability to invest. For
example, in some instances only special classes of securities may be purchased
by foreigners and the market prices, liquidity and rights with respect to those
securities may vary from shares owned by nationals. LGT Asset Management is not
aware at this time of the existence of any investment or exchange control
regulations which might substantially impair the operations of the Growth &
Income Fund as described in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional
Information. Although restrictions may in the future make it undesirable to
invest in certain countries, LGT Asset Management does not believe that any
current repatriation restrictions would affect its decisions to invest in the
countries eligible for investment by the Growth & Income Fund. It should be
noted, however, that this situation could change at any time. The Growth &
Income Fund has no present intention of making any significant investment in any
country or stock market where the political or economic situation might be
considered by LGT Asset Management to be at risk of substantial or total loss
because of such political or economic situation.

LGT Asset Management attempts to identify those countries and industries where
economic and political factors are likely to produce above-average growth rates
and to further identify companies in such countries and industries that are best
positioned and managed to benefit from these factors. In evaluating possible
equity investments, LGT Asset Management attempts to identify and acquire only
securities it deems to represent high or improving investment quality.
Securities representing high investment quality generally will include those of
well-known, established and successful issuers that LGT Asset Management
believes will continue to be successful in the future. Securities representing
improving investment quality may include those of an issuer which, for instance,
has improved its sales or earnings or of an issuer the balance sheet and
financial condition of which are improving. LGT Asset Management will avoid
equity securities that appear overly speculative or risky, even if they have
otherwise attractive features or investment potential.

In evaluating debt securities considered for investment by the Growth & Income
Fund, LGT Asset Management analyzes their yield, maturity, issue classification
and quality characteristics, coupled with expectations regarding the local and
world economies, movements in the general level and term of interest rates,
currency values, political developments, and variations of the supply of funds
available for investment in the world bond market relative to the demands placed
upon it. LGT Asset Management may increase the average maturity of the portion
of the Fund's holdings invested in debt obligations when it expects interest
rates to decline, and may decrease such maturity when it expects interest rates
to rise. There are no limitations on the maximum or minimum maturities of the
debt securities considered by the Growth & Income Fund for investment or on the
average weighted maturity of the debt portion of the Fund's holdings.

Should the rating of any debt security be revised while such security is owned
by the Growth & Income Fund, LGT Asset Management will evaluate what action, if
any, is appropriate with respect to such security. See "Description of Debt
Ratings."

LGT Asset Management generally evaluates currencies on the basis of fundamental
economic criteria (e.g., relative inflation and interest rate levels and trends,
growth rate forecasts, balance of payments status and economic policies) as well
as technical and political data. If the currency in which a security is
denominated appreciates against the U.S. dollar, the dollar value of the
security will increase. Conversely, if the exchange rate of the foreign currency
declines, the dollar

value of the security will decrease. However, the Growth & Income Fund may seek
to protect itself against such negative currency movements through the use of
hedging techniques.

According to LGT Asset Management, as of December 31, 1994, 63% of the total
equity market capitalization worldwide was represented by non-U.S. equity
securities, and more than 63% of the value of all outstanding government debt
obligations throughout the world was represented by obligations denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Moreover, from time to time, the equity
and debt securities of issuers located outside the United States have
substantially outperformed the equity and debt securities of U.S. issuers.
Accordingly, LGT Asset Management believes that the Growth & Income Fund's
policy of investing in equity and debt securities of issuers throughout the
world may enable the achievement of results superior to those produced by mutual
funds with similar objectives to those of the Fund that invest solely in U.S.
equity and debt securities.

The STRATEGIC INCOME FUND seeks to achieve its investment objectives by
investing in U.S. and foreign debt securities.

The Strategic Income Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in debt securities
in emerging markets. The Strategic Income Fund does not consider the following
countries to be emerging markets: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
England, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. In
determining what countries constitute emerging markets LGT Asset Management will
consider, among other things, data analysis, and classification of countries
published or disseminated by the International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (commonly known as the World Bank) and the International Finance
Corporation.

A company in an emerging market means: (i) a company the principal securities
trading market for which is an emerging market, as defined above; (ii) a company
that (alone or on a consolidated basis) derives 50% or more of its total
revenues from either goods produced, sales made or services performed in
emerging markets; or (iii) a company organized under the laws of, and with a
principal office in, an emerging market.

In determining the appropriate distribution of investments among various
countries and geographic regions for the Strategic Income Fund, LGT Asset
Management ordinarily considers the following factors: prospects for relative
economic growth between the different countries in which the Fund may invest;
expected levels of inflation; government policies influencing business
conditions; the outlook for currency relationships; and the range of the
individual investment opportunities available to international investors.

The Strategic Income Fund may invest in the following types of money market
instruments (i.e., debt instruments with less than 13 months remaining until
maturity) denominated in U.S. dollars or other currencies: (a) obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or foreign governments, their agencies,
instrumentalities or municipalities; (b) obligations of international
organizations designed or supported by multiple foreign governmental entities to
promote economic construction or development; (c) finance company obligations,
corporate commercial paper and other short-term commercial obligations; (d) bank
obligations (including certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers'
acceptances), subject to the restriction that the Strategic Income Fund may not
invest more than 25% of its total assets in bank securities; (e) repurchase
agreements with respect to all of the foregoing; and (f) other substantially
similar short-term debt securities with comparable characteristics.

The GLOBAL GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND seeks to achieve its investment objectives by
investing primarily in high quality debt securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. and foreign governments (including foreign states, provinces or
municipalities), their agencies and instrumentalities.

The Global Government Income Fund invests primarily in debt obligations
allocated among diverse international markets and denominated in various
currencies, including U.S. dollars, or in multinational currency units such as
European Currency Units. The Global Government Income Fund is designed for
investors who wish to accept the risks entailed in such investments, which are
different from those associated with a portfolio consisting entirely of U.S.
investments. The Global Government Income Fund will not invest in a foreign
currency or in securities

----------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

denominated in a foreign currency if such currency is not at the time of
investment considered by LGT Asset Management to be fully exchangeable into U.S.
dollars (or a multinational currency unit) without legal restriction. The Global
Government Income Fund may purchase securities that are issued by the government
or a company or financial institution of one nation but denominated in the
currency of another nation (or a multinational currency unit).

The Global Government Income Fund may invest in the following types of money
market instruments (i.e., debt instruments with less than 13 months remaining
until maturity) denominated in U.S. dollars or other currencies: (a) obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or foreign governments, their agencies,
instrumentalities or municipalities; (b) obligations of international
organizations designed or supported by multiple foreign governmental entities to
provide economic reconstruction or development; (c) finance company obligations,
corporate commercial paper and other short-term commercial obligations; (d) bank
obligations (including certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers'
acceptances), subject to the restriction that the Global Government Income Fund
may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in bank securities; (e)
repurchase agreements with respect to the foregoing; and (f) other substantially
similar short-term debt securities with comparable characteristics.

The U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing primarily in U.S. government and U.S. government agency securities.
The U.S. Government Income Fund may also invest in mortgage-related securities,
including collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), fixed-rate mortgage
obligations and adjustable rate mortgage obligations ("ARMs").

ARMs are pass-through mortgage securities which are collateralized by mortgages
with adjustable rather than fixed interest rates. The ARMs in which the U.S.
Government Income Fund invests are issued primarily by the Government National
Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA"), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). The
underlying mortgages collateralizing ARMs issued by GNMA are fully guaranteed by
the Federal Housing Administration or the Veterans Administration. The
underlying mortgages which collateralize ARMs issued by FNMA or FHLMC are
typically conventional residential mortgages conforming to minimum standards
prescribed by the U.S. government agency.

The U.S. Government Income Fund may also invest in CMOs, which are generally
issued by government agencies. All CMOs purchased by the U.S. Government Income
Fund either will be issued by a U.S. government agency or will be rated in the
highest category by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The
U.S. Government Income Fund may purchase CMOs that are:

(1) collateralized by pools of mortgages in which each mortgage is guaranteed
as to payment of principal and interest by an agency or instrumentality of
the U.S. government;

(2) collateralized by pools of mortgages in which payment of principal and
interest are guaranteed by the issuer and the guarantee is collateralized by
U.S. government securities; or

(3) securities in which the proceeds of the issuance are invested in mortgage
securities, and payment of the principal and interest is supported by the
credit of an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.

Resets. The interest rates on the mortgages underlying the ARMs and CMOs in
which the U.S. Government Income Fund may invest generally are reset at
intervals of one year or less in response to changes in a predetermined interest
rate index. There are two main categories of indices: those based on U.S.
Treasury securities and those derived from a calculated measure such as a
cost-of-funds index or a moving average of mortgage rates. Commonly used indices
include the one-year and three-year constant maturity Treasury rates ("CMT");
the three-month Treasury bill rate; the 180-day Treasury bill rate; the Eleventh
District Federal Home Loan Bank Cost-of-Funds Index ("EDCOFI"); the Median
National Cost-of-Funds Index; the one-month, three-month, six-month, or one-year
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"); or an established index based on prime
lending rates or certificate of deposit rates. Some indices, such as the
one-year CMT rate, closely mirror changes in market interest

----------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

rate levels. Others, such as the EDCOFI, tend to lag behind changes in market
rate levels and tend to be somewhat less volatile. The net asset value of the
U.S. Government Income Fund's shares could fluctuate to the extent interest
rates on underlying mortgages differ from prevailing market interest rates
during periods between interest rate reset dates.

Caps and Floors. The underlying mortgages which collateralize the ARMs and CMOs
in which the U.S. Government Income Fund invests will frequently have caps and
floors which limit the maximum amount by which the loan rate may change up or
down, either at each reset or adjustment interval or over the life of the loan.
This provides the mortgage borrower with some degree of protection against large
changes in monthly payments. Some residential mortgage loans restrict periodic
adjustments by limiting changes in the borrower's monthly principal and interest
payments rather than limiting interest rate changes. These payment caps may
result in negative amortization, i.e., an increase in the balance of the
mortgage loan.

The MONEY MARKET FUND seeks to obtain its investment objective by investing in
high quality, U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments.

The Money Market Fund may purchase variable and floating rate securities with
remaining maturities in excess of 13 months. Such securities must comply with
conditions established by the SEC under which they may be considered to have
remaining maturities of 13 months or less. The yield of these securities varies
in relation to changes in specific money market rates such as the prime rate.
These changes are reflected in adjustments to the yields of the variable and
floating rate securities, and different securities may have different adjustment
rates. To the extent that the Money Market Fund invests in such variable and
floating rate securities, it is LGT Asset Management's view that the Money
Market Fund may be able to take advantage of the higher yield that is usually
paid on longer-term securities. LGT Asset Management further believes that the
variable and floating rates paid on such securities may substantially reduce the
wide fluctuations in market value caused by interest rate changes and other
factors which are typical of longer-term debt securities.

The Money Market Fund may acquire participation interests in securities in which
it is permitted to invest. Participation interests are pro rata interests in
securities held by others.

Although the Money Market Fund may invest in instruments of non-U.S. issuers,
all such instruments will be denominated in U.S. dollars and be of high quality.
Obligations of non-U.S. issuers are subject to the same risks that pertain to
domestic issues, notably credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk.
Nonetheless, these instruments present risks that are different from those
presented by investment in instruments of U.S. issuers. Obligations of foreign
entities may be subject to certain sovereign risks, including adverse political
and economic developments in a foreign country, the extent and quality of
government regulation of financial markets and institutions, interest
limitations, currency controls, foreign withholding taxes, and expropriation or
nationalization of foreign issuers and their assets. There may be less publicly
available information about foreign issuers than about domestic issuers, and
foreign issuers may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and
financial recordkeeping standards and requirements as are domestic issuers.
Accordingly, while the Money Market Fund's ability to invest in these
instruments may provide it with the potential to produce greater income, and
therefore a higher yield for the Fund, than money market funds investing solely
in instruments of domestic issuers, the Money Market Fund presents greater risk
than such other funds.

INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

With respect to certain countries, investments by a Fund currently may be made
only by acquiring shares of other investment companies with local government
approval to invest in those countries. The Funds (except for the Money Market
Fund) may invest in the securities of investment companies within the limits of
the 1940 Act. These limitations currently provide that, in general, each Fund
may not purchase shares of another investment company if (a) such a purchase
would cause a Fund to own more than 3 percent of the total outstanding voting
stock of the investment company, or (b) such a purchase would cause a Fund to
have more than 5 percent of its assets invested in the investment company or
more than 10 percent of its assets invested in an aggregate of all such
investment companies. Investment through investment companies also may involve
the payment of substantial premiums

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 12

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

above the value of the securities held by such companies. The Funds do not
intend to invest in such investment companies unless, in the judgment of LGT
Asset Management, the potential benefits of such investments justify the payment
of any applicable premiums or sales charges. The yield of such securities will
be reduced by the operating expenses of such companies including payments to the
investment managers of those investment companies. At such time as direct
investment in these countries is allowed, the Funds anticipate investing
directly in these markets.

DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS

Each Fund, except for the Global Government Income Fund, the U.S. Government
Income Fund and the Money Market Fund, may hold securities of foreign issuers in
the form of American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), American Depository Shares
("ADSs") and European Depository Receipts ("EDRs") or other securities
convertible into securities of eligible issuers. These securities may not
necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities for which
they may be exchanged. ADRs and ADSs are typically issued by an American bank
or trust company that evidences ownership of underlying securities issued by a
foreign corporation. EDRs, which are sometimes referred to as Continental
Depository Receipts ("CDRs"), are receipts issued in Europe, typically by
foreign banks and trust companies that evidence ownership of either foreign or
domestic securities. Generally, ADRs and ADSs in registered form are designed
for use in U.S. securities markets and EDRs and CDRs in bearer form are
designed for use in European securities markets. For purposes of the Funds'
respective investment policies, the Funds' investments in ADRs, ADSs, EDRs, and
CDRs will be deemed to be investments in the equity securities representing
securities of foreign issuers into which they may be converted.

ADR facilities may be established as either "unsponsored" or "sponsored." While
ADRs issued under these two types of facilities are in some respects similar,
there are distinctions between them relating to the rights and obligations of
ADR holders and the practices of market participants. A depository may establish
an unsponsored facility without participation by (or even necessarily the
acquiescence of) the issuer of the deposited securities, although typically the
depository requests a letter of non-objection from such issuer prior to
the establishment of the facility. Holders of unsponsored ADRs generally bear
all the costs of such facilities. The depository usually charges fees upon the
deposit and withdrawal of the deposited securities, the conversion of dividends
into U.S. dollars, the disposition of non-cash distributions, and the
performance of other services. The depository of an unsponsored facility
frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications
received from the issuer of the deposited securities or to pass through voting
rights to ADR holders with respect to the deposited securities. Sponsored ADR
facilities are created in generally the same manner as unsponsored facilities,
except that the issuer of the deposited securities enters into a deposit
agreement with the depository. The deposit agreement sets out the rights and
responsibilities of the issuer, the depository and the ADR holders. With
sponsored facilities, the issuer of the deposited securities generally will bear
some of the costs relating to the facility (such as dividend payment fees of the
depository), although ADR holders continue to bear certain other costs (such as
deposit and withdrawal fees). Under the terms of most sponsored arrangements,
depositories agree to distribute notices of shareholder meetings and voting
instructions, and to provide shareholder communications and other information to
the ADR holders at the request of the issuer of the deposited securities. The
Funds may invest in sponsored and unsponsored ADRs.

SAMURAI AND YANKEE BONDS

Subject to their respective fundamental investment limitations, the New Pacific
Fund, the International Fund, the Strategic Income Fund, and the Global
Government Income Fund may invest in yen-denominated bonds sold in Japan by
non-Japanese issuers ("Samurai bonds"), and the America Fund, the Strategic
Income Fund and the Global Government Income Fund may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated bonds sold in the United States by non-U.S. issuers ("Yankee
bonds"). As compared with bonds issued in their countries of domicile, such bond
issues normally carry a higher interest rate but are less actively traded. It is
the policy of each Fund to invest in Samurai or Yankee bond issues only after
taking into account considerations of quality and liquidity, as well as yield.
These bonds would be

----------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

issued by governments which are members of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development or have AAA ratings.

WARRANTS OR RIGHTS

Warrants or rights may be acquired by the Funds, except for the Money Market
Fund, in connection with other securities or separately, and may provide the
Funds with the right to purchase at a later date other securities of the issuer.
The Pacific Fund, the International Fund, and the Europe Fund will not purchase
warrants in excess of 10% of their respective net assets taken at cost or at
market value, whichever is lower. The other Funds will not purchase warrants or
rights, valued at the lower of cost or market, in excess of 5% of the value of
their respective net assets and not more than 2% of such assets will be invested
in warrants and rights which are not listed on the American Stock Exchange or
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Warrants or rights acquired by a Fund in units
or attached to securities will be deemed to be without value for purpose of this
restriction. These limits are not fundamental policies of the Funds and may be
changed by a Fund's Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.

LENDING OF SECURITIES

For the purpose of realizing additional income, each Fund, except the Money
Market Fund, may make secured loans of securities held by that Fund which amount
to not more than 30% of its total assets. Securities loans are made to broker-
dealers or institutional investors pursuant to agreements requiring that the
loans continuously be secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the
value of the securities lent plus any accrued interest, "marked to market" on a
daily basis. The collateral received will consist of cash, U.S. short-term
government securities, bank letters of credit or such other collateral as may be
permitted under the Fund's investment policies and by regulatory agencies and
approved by that Fund's Board of Trustees. While the securities loan is
outstanding, the Fund will continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or
dividends paid by the issuer on the securities, as well as interest on the
investment of the collateral or a fee from the borrower. The Fund has a right to
call each loan and obtain the securities on five business days' notice. All
Funds will not have the right to vote equity securities while they are being
lent, but each will call in a loan in anticipation of any important vote. The
risks in lending securities, as with other extensions of secured credit, consist
of possible delay in receiving additional collateral or in recovery of the
securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail
financially. Loans will be made only to firms deemed by LGT Asset Management to
be of good standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment of LGT Asset
Management, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify
the risk.

COMMERCIAL BANK OBLIGATIONS

For the purposes of the Funds' respective investment policies regarding bank
obligations, obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks and of foreign banks
are obligations of the issuing bank and may be general obligations of the parent
bank. Such obligations may, however, be limited by the terms of a specific
obligation and by government regulation. As with investment in non-U.S.
securities in general, investments in
the obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks
and of foreign banks may subject a Fund to investment risks that are different
in some respects from those of investments in obligations of domestic issuers.
Although a Fund typically will acquire obligations issued and supported by the
credit of U.S. or foreign banks having total assets at the time of purchase in
excess of $1 billion, this $1 billion figure is not a fundamental investment
policy or restriction of such Fund. For purposes of calculation with respect to
the $1 billion figure, the assets of a bank will be deemed to include the assets
of its U.S. and non-U.S. branches.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each Fund will invest only in repurchase agreements collateralized at all times
in an amount at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest. To
the extent that the proceeds from any sale of such collateral upon default in
the obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Fund would
suffer a loss. If the financial institution which is party to the repurchase
agreement petitions for bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject to bankruptcy or
other liquidation proceedings, there may be restrictions on the Fund's ability
to sell the collateral and the Fund could suffer a loss. However, with respect
to financial institutions whose bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings are

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 14
<PAGE> 67

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

subject to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Fund intends to comply with provisions
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that would allow it immediately to resell the
collateral. There is no limitation on the amount of the Fund assets may be
subject to repurchase agreements at any given time. A Fund will not enter into a
repurchase agreement with a maturity of more than seven days if, as a result
more than 15% (10% for the Money Market Fund) of the value of their net assets
would be invested in such repurchase agreements and other illiquid investments.

BORROWING, REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND "ROLL" TRANSACTIONS

Each Fund's (other than the Money Market Fund) borrowings will not exceed
33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets, i.e., the Fund's total assets at all times
will equal at least 300% of the amount of outstanding borrowing. If market
fluctuations in the value of a Fund's securities holdings or other factors cause
the ratio of the Fund's total assets to outstanding borrowings to fall below
300%, within three days (excluding Sundays and holidays) of such event the Fund
may be required to sell securities to restore the 300% asset coverage, even
though from an investment standpoint such sales might be disadvantageous. Each
Fund also may borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary or emergency
purposes other than to provide cash to meet redemptions of Fund shares. Any
borrowing by a Fund may cause greater fluctuation in its net asset value than
would be the case if the Fund did not borrow.

Each Fund (except the Money Market Fund and the Strategic Income Fund) currently
is prohibited from borrowing money in order to purchase securities. In the event
that a Fund is permitted to employ leverage in the future, it would be subject
to certain additional risks. Use of leverage creates an opportunity for greater
growth of capital but would exaggerate any increases or decreases in the Fund's
net asset value. When the income and gains on securities purchased with the
proceeds of borrowings exceed the costs of such borrowings, the Fund's earnings
or net asset value will increase faster than otherwise would be the case;
conversely if such income and gains fail to exceed such costs, the Fund's
earnings or net asset value would decline faster than would otherwise be the
case.

Excluding the Money Market Fund, each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is a borrowing transaction in which
a Fund transfers possession of a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker/dealer in return for cash, and agrees to repurchase the security in the
future at an agreed upon price, which includes an interest component. Reverse
repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities
retained in lieu of sale by a Fund may decline below the price of the securities
the Fund had sold but is obligated to repurchase. In the event the buyer of
securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes
insolvent, such buyer or its trustee or receiver may receive an extension of
time to determine whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to repurchase the
securities, and the Fund's use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase
agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision.

The Funds (except for the Latin America Fund and the Money Market Fund) also may
engage in "roll" borrowing transactions, which involve the sale of GNMA
certificates or other securities together with a commitment (for which a Fund
may receive a fee) to purchase similar, but not identical, securities at a
future date. Each Fund will maintain, in a segregated account with a custodian,
cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid, high grade debt securities in
an amount sufficient to cover its obligations under "roll" transactions and
reverse repurchase agreements with broker/dealers (but no segregation is
required for reverse repurchase agreements with banks).

The Strategic Income Fund also may enter into "dollar rolls," in which the Fund
sells fixed income securities for delivery in the current month, and
simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon
and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the
Strategic Income Fund would forego principal and interest paid on such
securities. The Strategic Income Fund would be compensated by the difference
between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase,
as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale.

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

SHORT SALES

The Funds (except for the Money Market Fund, the New Pacific Fund, the
International Fund, the Europe Fund and the America Fund) are authorized to make
short sales of securities, although they have no current intention of doing so.
However, the Strategic Income Fund, the Global Government Income Fund, the
Growth & Income Fund and the U.S. Government Income Fund may only make short
sales "against the box."

A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security in anticipation
that the market price of that security will decline. A Fund may make short sales
(i) as a form of hedging to offset potential declines in long positions in
securities it owns, or anticipates acquiring, or in similar securities, and (ii)
in order to maintain investment flexibility. When a Fund makes a short sale of a
security it does not own, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it
to the broker-dealer or other intermediary through which it made the short sale.
The Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and will often be
obligated to pay over any payments received on such borrowed securities.

The Fund's obligation to replace the borrowed security when the borrowing is
called or expires will be secured by collateral (usually cash, U.S. government
securities or other highly liquid securities similar to those borrowed)
deposited with the intermediary. The Fund also will be required to deposit
similar collateral with its custodian to the extent necessary so that the value
of both collateral deposits in the aggregate is at all times equal to at least
100% of the
current market value of the security sold short. Depending on arrangements made
with the intermediary from which it borrowed the security, regarding payment of
any amounts received by the Fund on such security, the Fund may not receive any
payments (including interest) on its collateral deposited with such
intermediary.

If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short
sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a
loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a gain. Any gain
will be decreased, and any loss increased, by the transaction costs associated
with the transaction. Although the Fund's gain is limited by the price at which
it sold the security short, its potential loss theoretically is unlimited.

The Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources Fund, the Telecommunications
Fund, the Emerging Markets Fund, and the Latin America Fund will not make a
short sale if, after giving effect to such sale, the market value of the
securities sold short exceeds 25% of the value of their respective total assets,
or their respective aggregate short sales of the securities of any one issuer
exceed the lesser of 2% of net assets or 2% of the securities of any class of
the issuer. Moreover, the Infrastructure Fund, the Natural Resources Fund, the
Telecommunications Fund and the Latin America Fund may engage in short sales
only with respect to securities listed on a national securities exchange.

The Funds might make a short sale "against the box" in order to hedge against
market risks when LGT Asset Management believes that the price of a security may
decline, causing a decline in the value of a security owned by a Fund or a
security convertible into or exchangeable for such security, or when LGT Asset
Management wants to sell the security a Fund owns at a current attractive price,
but also wishes to defer recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes and for purposes of satisfying certain tests applicable to regulated
investment companies, such as the Funds, under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended ("Code"). In such case, any future losses in a 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 in the long position are reduced will
depend upon the amount of the securities sold short relative to the amount of
the securities the Fund owns, either directly or indirectly, and, in the case
where the Fund owns convertible securities, changes in the investment values or
conversion premiums of such securities. There will be certain additional
transaction costs associated with short sales "against the box," but the
respective Funds will endeavor to offset these costs with income from the
investment of the cash proceeds of short sales.

OPTIONS, FUTURES AND CURRENCY
STRATEGIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL RISKS OF OPTIONS, FUTURES
AND CURRENCY STRATEGIES

The use of options, futures contracts and forward currency contracts ("Forward
Contracts") involves special considerations and risks, as described below. Risks
pertaining to particular instruments are described in the sections that follow.

(1) Successful use of most of these instruments depends upon LGT Asset
Management's ability to predict movements of the overall securities and currency
markets, which requires different skills than predicting changes in the prices
of individual securities. While LGT Asset Management is experienced in the use
of these instruments, there can be no assurance that any particular strategy
adopted will succeed.

(2) There might be imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price
movements of an instrument and price movements of the investments being hedged.
For example, if the value of an instrument used in a short hedge increased by
less than the decline in value of the hedged investment, the hedge would not be
fully successful. Such a lack of correlation might occur due to factors
unrelated to the value of the investments being hedged, such as speculative or
other pressures on the markets in which the hedging instrument is traded. The
effectiveness of hedges using hedging instruments on indices will depend on the
degree of correlation between price movements in the index and price movements
in the investments being hedged.

(3) Hedging strategies, if successful, can reduce risk of loss by wholly or
partially offsetting the negative effect of unfavorable price movements in the
investments being hedged. However, hedging strategies can also reduce
opportunity for gain by offsetting the positive effect of favorable price
movements in the hedged investments. For example, if a Fund entered into a short
hedge because LGT Asset Management projected a decline in the price of a
security in the Fund's portfolio, and the price of that security increased
instead, the gain from that increase might be wholly or partially offset by a
decline in the price of the hedging instrument. Moreover, if the price of the
hedging instrument declined by more than the increase in the price of the
security, the Fund could suffer a loss. In either such case, the Fund would have
been in a better position had it not hedged at all.

(4) As described below, a Fund might be required to maintain assets as "cover,"
maintain segregated accounts or make margin payments when it takes positions in
instruments involving obligations to third parties (i.e., instruments other than
purchased options). If a Fund were unable to close out its positions in such
instruments, it might be required to continue to maintain such assets or
accounts or make such payments until the position expired or matured. The
requirements might impair the Fund's ability to sell a portfolio security or
make an investment at a time when it would otherwise be favorable to do so, or
require that the Fund sell a portfolio security at a disadvantageous time. The
Fund's ability to close out a position in an instrument prior to expiration or
maturity depends on the existence of a liquid secondary market or, in the
absence of such a market, the ability and willingness of the other party to the
transaction ("contra party") to enter into a transaction closing out the
position. Therefore, there is no assurance that any position can be closed out
at a time and price that is favorable to the Fund.

(5) These strategies might result in the loss of principal under certain
conditions. The Fund might need to defer closing out certain options, futures
contracts, options on futures contracts and Forward Contracts in order to
continue to qualify for the beneficial tax treatment afforded regulated
investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. See
"Taxes."

WRITING CALL OPTIONS

All Funds, other than the Money Market Fund, may write (sell) call options on
securities, currencies and (except for the Strategic Income Fund, the Global
Government Income Fund and the U.S. Government Income Fund) stock

----------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

indices. Call options generally will be written on securities and currencies
that, in the opinion of LGT Asset Management, are not expected to make any major
price moves in the near future but that, over the long term, are deemed to be
attractive investments for the Fund.

A call option gives the holder (buyer) the right to purchase a security or
currency at a specified price (the exercise price) at any time until (American
style) or on (European style) a certain date (the expiration date). As long as
the obligation of the writer of a call option continues, he may be assigned an
exercise notice, requiring him to deliver the underlying security or currency
against payment of the exercise price. This obligation terminates upon the
expiration of the call option, or such earlier time at which the writer effects
a closing purchase transaction by purchasing an option identical to that
previously sold.

Portfolio securities or currencies on which call options may be written will be
purchased solely on the basis of investment considerations consistent with each
Fund's investment objective(s). When writing a call option, a Fund, in return
for the premium, gives up the opportunity for profit from a price increase in
the underlying security or currency above the exercise price, and retains the
risk of loss should the price of the security or currency decline. Unlike one
who owns securities or currencies not subject to an option, a Fund has no
control over when it may be required to sell the underlying securities or
currencies, since most options may be exercised at any time prior to the
option's expiration. If a call option that a Fund has written expires, the Fund
will realize a gain in the amount of the premium; however, such gain may be
offset by a decline in the market value of the underlying security or currency
during the option period. If the call option is exercised, the Fund will realize
a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security or currency, which will
be increased or offset by the premium received. A Fund does not consider a
security or currency covered by a call option to be "pledged" as that term is
used in the Fund's investment limitations that limit the pledging or mortgaging
of its assets.

Writing call options can serve as a limited short hedge because declines in the
value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of the premium
received for writing the option. However, if the security or currency
appreciates to a price higher than the exercise price of the call option, it can
be expected that the option will be exercised and a Fund will be obligated to
sell the security or currency at less than its market value.

The premium that a Fund receives for writing a call option is deemed to
constitute the market value of an option. The premium a Fund will receive from
writing a call option will reflect, among other things, the current market price
of the underlying investment, the relationship of the exercise price to such
market price, the historical price volatility of the underlying investment, and
the length of the option period. In determining whether a particular call option
should be written, LGT Asset Management will consider the reasonableness of the
anticipated premium and the likelihood that a liquid secondary market will exist
for those options.

Closing transactions will be effected in order to realize a profit on an
outstanding call option, to prevent an underlying security or currency from
being called, or to permit the sale of the underlying security or currency.
Furthermore, effecting a closing transaction will permit a Fund to write another
call option on the underlying security or currency with either a different
exercise price or expiration date or both.

A Fund will pay transaction costs in connection with the writing of options and
in entering into closing purchase contracts. Transaction costs relating to
options activity normally are higher than those applicable to purchases and
sales of portfolio securities.

The exercise price of the options may be below, equal to or above the current
market values of the underlying securities or currencies at the time the options
are written. From time to time, a Fund may purchase an underlying security or
currency for delivery in accordance with the exercise of an option, rather than
delivering the security or currency currently held by it. In such cases,
additional costs will be incurred.

A Fund will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction if the
cost of the transaction is less or more, respectively, than the premium received
from writing the option. Because increases in the market price of a call option
generally will reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security
or currency, any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option is likely
to be offset in whole or in part by appreciation of the underlying security or
currency owned by the Fund.

WRITING PUT OPTIONS

The Funds, other than the Money Market Fund, may write put options on
securities, currencies and (except for the Strategic Income Fund, the Global
Government Income Fund and the U.S. Government Income Fund) stock indices. A put
option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer
(seller) the obligation to buy, the underlying security or currency at the
exercise price at any time until (American style) or on (European style) the
expiration date. The operation of put options in other respects, including their
related risks and rewards, is substantially identical to that of call options.

A Fund generally would write put options in circumstances where LGT Asset
Management wishes to purchase the underlying security or currency for the Fund
at a price lower than the current market price of the security or currency. In
such event, the Fund would write a put option at an exercise price that, reduced
by the premium received on the option, reflects the lower price it is willing to
pay. Since the Fund also would receive interest on debt securities or currencies
maintained to cover the exercise price of the option, this technique could be
used to enhance current return during periods of market uncertainty. The risk in
such a transaction would be that the market price of the underlying security or
currency would decline below the exercise price less the premiums received.

Writing put options can serve as a limited long hedge because increases in the
value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of the premium
received for writing the option. However, if the security or currency
depreciates to a price lower than the exercise price of the put option, it can
be expected that the put option will be exercised and a Fund will be obligated
to purchase the security or currency at more than its market value.

PURCHASING PUT OPTIONS

Each Fund, other than the Money Market Fund, may purchase put options on
securities, currencies and (except for the Strategic Income Fund, the Global
Government Income Fund and the U.S. Government Income Fund) stock indices. As
the holder of a put option, a Fund would have the right to sell the underlying
security or currency at the exercise price at any time until (American style) or
on (European style) the expiration date. A Fund may enter into closing sale
transactions with respect to such option, exercise such option or permit such
option to expire.

A Fund may purchase a put option on an underlying security or currency
("protective put") owned by the Fund as a hedging technique in order to protect
against an anticipated decline in the value of the security or currency. Such
hedge protection is provided only during the life of the put option when the
Fund, as the holder of the put option, is able to sell the underlying security
or currency at the put exercise price regardless of any decline in the
underlying security's market price or currency's exchange value. For example, a
put option may be purchased in order to protect unrealized appreciation of a
security or currency when LGT Asset Management deems it desirable to continue to
hold the security or currency because of tax considerations. The premium paid
for the put option and any transaction costs would reduce any profit otherwise
realizable when the security or currency eventually is sold.

A Fund also may purchase put options at a time when the Fund does not own the
underlying security or currency. By purchasing put options on a security or
currency it does not own, a Fund seeks to benefit from a decline in the market
price of the underlying security or currency. If the put option is not sold when
it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying security or
currency remains equal to or greater than the exercise price during the life of
the put option, the Fund will lose its entire investment in the put option. In
order for the purchase of a put option to be profitable, the market price of the
underlying security or currency must decline sufficiently below the exercise
price to cover the premium and transaction costs, unless the put option is sold
in a closing sale transaction.

PURCHASING CALL OPTIONS

Each Fund, other than the Money Market Fund, may purchase call options on
securities, currencies and (except for the Strategic Income Fund, the Global
Government Income Fund and the U.S. Government Income Fund) stock indices. As
the holder of a call option, a Fund would have the right to purchase the
underlying security or currency at the exercise price at any time until
(American style) or on (European style) the expiration date. A Fund may enter
into closing sale transactions with respect to such

----------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

option, exercise such option or permit such option to expire.

Call options may be purchased by a Fund for the purpose of acquiring the
underlying security or currency for its portfolio. Utilized in this fashion, the
purchase of call options would enable a Fund to acquire the security or currency
at the exercise price of the call option plus the premium paid. At times the net
cost of acquiring the security or currency in this manner may be less than the
cost of acquiring the security or currency directly. This technique also may be
useful to the Funds in purchasing a large block of securities that would be more
difficult to acquire by direct market purchases. So long as it holds such a call
option, rather than the underlying security or currency itself, a Fund is
partially protected from any unexpected decline in the market price of the
underlying security or currency and, in such event, could allow the call option
to expire, incurring a loss only to the extent of the premium paid for the
option.

Each Fund also may purchase call options on underlying securities or currencies
it owns in order to protect unrealized gains on call options previously written
by it. A call option could be purchased for this purpose where tax
considerations make it inadvisable to realize such gains through a closing
purchase transaction. Call options also may be purchased at times to avoid
realizing losses that would result in a reduction of a Fund's current return.
For example, where a Fund has written a call option on an underlying security or
currency having a current market value below the price at which such security or
currency was purchased by the Fund, an increase in the market price could result
in the exercise of the call option written by the Fund and the realization of a
loss on the underlying security or currency. Accordingly, the Fund could
purchase a call option on the same underlying security or currency, which could
be exercised to fulfill the Fund's delivery obligations under its written call
(if it is exercised). This strategy could allow the Fund to avoid selling the
portfolio security or currency at a time when it has an unrealized loss;
however, the Fund would have to pay a premium to purchase the call option plus
transaction costs.

Aggregate premiums paid for put and call options will not exceed 5% of the
Fund's total assets at the time of purchase.

Each Fund may attempt to accomplish objectives similar to those involved in
using Forward Contracts by purchasing put or call options on currencies. A put
option gives a Fund as purchaser the right (but not the obligation) to sell a
specified amount of currency at the exercise price at any time until (American
style) or on (European style) the expiration date of the option. A call option
gives a Fund as purchaser the right (but not the obligation) to purchase a
specified amount of currency at the exercise price at any time until (American
style) or on (European style) the expiration date of the option. A Fund might
purchase a currency put option, for example, to protect itself against a decline
in the dollar value of a currency in which it holds or anticipates holding
securities. If the currency's value should decline against the dollar, the loss
in currency value should be offset, in whole or in part, by an increase in the
value of the put. If the value of the currency instead should rise against the
dollar, any gain to the Fund would be reduced by the premium it had paid for the
put option. A currency call option might be purchased, for example, in
anticipation of, or to protect against, a rise in the value against the dollar
of a currency in which the Fund anticipates purchasing securities.

Options may be either listed on an exchange or traded over-the-counter ("OTC").
Listed options are third-party contracts (i.e., performance of the obligations
of the purchaser and seller is guaranteed by the exchange or clearing
corporation), and have standardized strike prices and expiration dates. OTC
options are two-party contracts with negotiated strike prices and expiration
dates. A Fund will not purchase an OTC option unless it believes that daily
valuations for such options are readily obtainable. OTC options differ from
exchange-traded options in that OTC options are transacted with dealers directly
and not through a clearing corporation (which guarantees performance).
Consequently, there is a risk of non-performance by the dealer. Since no
exchange is involved, OTC options are valued on the basis of a quote provided by
the dealer. In the case of OTC options, there can be no assurance that a liquid
secondary market will exist for any particular option at any specific time.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") staff considers purchased OTC
options to be illiquid securities. A Fund may also sell OTC options and, in
connection therewith, segregate assets or cover its obligations with respect to
OTC options written by the Fund. The

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 20
<PAGE> 73

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

assets used as cover for OTC options written by a Fund will be considered
illiquid unless the OTC options are sold to qualified dealers who agree that the
Fund may repurchase any OTC option it writes at a maximum price to be calculated
by a formula set forth in the option agreement. The cover for an OTC option
written subject to this procedure would be considered illiquid only to the
extent that the maximum repurchase price under the formula exceeds the intrinsic
value of the option.

A Fund's ability to establish and close out positions in exchange-listed options
depends on the existence of a liquid market. Each Fund intends to purchase or
write only those exchange-traded options for which there appears to be a liquid
secondary market. However, there can be no assurance that such a market will
exist at any particular time. Closing transactions can be made for OTC options
only by negotiating directly with the contra party, or by a transaction in the
secondary market if any such market exists. Although each Fund will enter into
OTC options only with contra parties that are expected to be capable of entering
into closing transactions with the Fund, there is no assurance that the Fund
will in fact be able to close out an OTC option position at a favorable price
prior to expiration. In the event of insolvency of the contra party, the Fund
might be unable to close out an OTC option position at any time prior to its
expiration.

INDEX OPTIONS

Puts and calls on indices are similar to puts and calls on securities or futures
contracts except that all settlements are in cash and gain or loss depends on
changes in the index in question (and thus on price movements in the securities
market or a particular market sector generally) rather than on price movements
in individual securities or futures contracts. When a Fund writes a call on an
index, it receives a premium and agrees that, prior to the expiration date, the
purchaser of the call, upon exercise of the call, will receive from the Fund an
amount of cash if the closing level of the index upon which the call is based is
greater than the exercise price of the call. The amount of cash is equal to the
difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the
call times a specified multiple (the "multiplier"), which determines the total
dollar value for each point of such difference. When a Fund buys a call on an
index, it pays a premium and has the same rights as to such call as are
indicated above. When a Fund buys a put on an index, it pays a premium and has
the right, prior to the expiration date, to require the seller of the put, upon
the Fund's exercise of the put, to deliver to the Fund an amount of cash if the
closing level of the index upon which the put is based is less than the exercise
price of the put, which amount of cash is determined by the multiplier, as
described above for calls. When a Fund writes a put on an index, it receives a
premium and the purchaser has the right, prior to the expiration date, to
require the Fund to deliver to it an amount of cash equal to the difference
between the closing level of the index and the exercise price times the
multiplier, if the closing level is less than the exercise price.

The risks of investment in index options may be greater than options on
securities. Because index options are settled in cash, when a Fund writes a call
on an index it cannot provide in advance for its potential settlement
obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities. A Fund can
offset some of the risk of writing a call index option position by holding a
diversified portfolio of securities similar to those on which the underlying
index is based. However, a Fund cannot, as a practical matter, acquire and hold
a portfolio containing exactly the same securities as underlie the index and, as
a result, bears a risk that the value of the securities held will vary from the
value of the index.

Even if a Fund could assemble a securities portfolio that exactly reproduced the
composition of the underlying index, it still would not be fully covered from a
risk standpoint because of the "timing risk" inherent in writing index options.
When an index option is exercised, the amount of cash that the holder is
entitled to receive is determined by the difference between the exercise price
and the closing index level on the date when the option is exercised. As with
other kinds of options, the Fund as the call writer will not know that it has
been assigned until the next business day at the earliest. The time lag between
exercise and notice of assignment poses no risk for the writer of a covered call
on a specific underlying security, such as common stock, because there the
writer's obligation is to deliver the underlying security, not to pay its value
as of a fixed time in the past. So long as the writer already owns the
underlying security, it can satisfy its settlement obligations by simply
delivering it, and the risk that its value may have declined since the exercise
date is borne by the

----------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

exercising holder. In contrast, even if the writer of an index call holds
securities that exactly match the composition of the underlying index, it will
not be able to satisfy its assignment obligations by delivering those securities
against payment of the exercise price. Instead, it will be required to pay cash
in an amount based on the closing index value on the exercise date; and by the
time it learns that it has been assigned, the index may have declined, with a
corresponding decline in the value of its securities portfolio. This "timing
risk" is an inherent limitation on the ability of index call writers to cover
their risk exposure by holding securities positions.

If a Fund has purchased an index option and exercises it before the closing
index value for that day is available, it runs the risk that the level of the
underlying index may subsequently change. If such a change causes the exercised
option to fall out-of-the-money, the Fund will be required to pay the difference
between the closing index value and the exercise price of the option (times the
applicable multiplier) to the assigned writer.

INTEREST RATE, CURRENCY AND STOCK INDEX FUTURES CONTRACTS

The Funds, except for the Money Market Fund, may enter into interest rate or
currency futures contracts, and the Funds, except for the Strategic Income Fund,
the Global Government Income Fund, the U.S. Government Income Fund and the Money
Market Fund, may enter into stock index futures contracts ("Futures" or "Futures
Contracts"), as a hedge against changes in prevailing levels of interest rates,
currency exchange rates or stock price levels in order to establish more
definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to
be acquired by the Funds. The Funds' hedging may include sales of Futures as an
offset against the effect of expected increases in interest rates, or declines
in currency exchange rates or stock prices and purchases of futures as an offset
against the effect of expected declines in interest rates or increases in
currency exchange rates or stock prices.

The Funds only will enter into Futures Contracts that are traded on futures
exchanges and are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial
instrument. Futures exchanges and trading thereon in the United States are
regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC"). Futures are exchanged in London at the London International
Financial Futures Exchange.

Although techniques other than sales and purchases of Futures Contracts could be
used to reduce the Funds' exposure to interest rate and currency exchange rate
fluctuations, a Fund may be able to hedge its exposure more effectively and at a
lower cost through using Futures Contracts.

A Futures Contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by
another party of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument (security
or currency) for a specified price at a designated date, time and place. A index
Futures Contract provides for the delivery, at a designated date, time and
place, of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount times the
difference between the index value at the close of trading on the contract and
the price at which the Futures Contract is originally struck; no physical
delivery of the securities comprising the index is made. Brokerage fees are
incurred when a Futures Contract is bought or sold, and margin deposits must be
maintained at all times during which the Futures Contract is outstanding.

Although Futures Contracts typically require future delivery of and payment for
financial instruments or currencies, Futures Contracts usually are closed out
before the delivery date. Closing out an open Futures Contract sale or purchase
is effected by entering into an offsetting Futures Contract purchase or sale,
respectively, for the same aggregate amount of the identical financial
instrument or currency and the same delivery date. If the offsetting purchase
price is less than the original sale price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is
more, the Fund realizes a loss. Conversely, if the offsetting sale price is more
than the original purchase price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the
Fund realizes a loss. The transaction costs also must be included in these
calculations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Funds will be able to
enter into an offsetting transaction with respect to a particular Futures
Contract at a particular time. If a Fund is not able to enter into an offsetting
transaction, the Fund will continue to be required to maintain the margin
deposits on the Futures Contract.

As an example of an offsetting transaction, the contractual obligations arising
from the sale of one Futures Contract of September

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 22
<PAGE> 75

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Deutschemarks on an exchange may be fulfilled at any time before delivery under
the Futures Contract is required (i.e., on a specified date in September, the
"delivery month") by the purchase of another Futures Contract of September
Deutschemarks on the same exchange. In such instance, the difference between the
price at which the Futures Contract was sold and the price paid for the
offsetting purchase, after allowance for transaction costs, represents the
profit or loss to the Fund.

The Funds' Futures transactions will be entered into for hedging purposes; that
is, Futures Contracts will be sold to protect against a decline in the price of
securities or currencies that a Fund owns, or Futures Contracts will be
purchased to protect the Funds against an increase in the price of securities or
currencies it has committed to purchase or expects to purchase.

"Margin" with respect to Futures Contracts is the amount of funds that must be
deposited by a Fund in order to initiate Futures trading and to maintain the
Fund's open positions in Futures Contracts. A margin deposit made when the
Futures Contract is entered into ("initial margin") is intended to ensure the
Fund's performance under the Futures Contract. The margin required for a
particular Futures Contract is set by the exchange on which the Futures Contract
is traded and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange
during the term of the Futures Contract.

Subsequent payments, called "variation margin," to and from the futures
commission merchant through which the Fund entered into the Futures Contract
will be made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying security, currency
or index fluctuates making the Futures Contract more or less valuable, a process
known as marking-to-market.

Risks of Using Futures Contracts. The prices of Futures Contracts are volatile
and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in
interest and currency rates, which in turn are affected by fiscal and monetary
policies and national and international political and economic events.

There is a risk of imperfect correlation between changes in prices of Futures
Contracts and prices of the Fund's securities or currencies being hedged. The
degree of imperfection of correlation depends upon circumstances such as:
variations in speculative market demand for Futures and for securities or
currencies, including technical influences in Futures trading; and differences
between the financial instruments being hedged and the instruments underlying
the standard Futures Contracts available for trading. A decision of whether,
when and how to hedge involves skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived
hedge may be unsuccessful to some degree because of unexpected market behavior
or interest or currency rate trends.

Because of the low margin deposits required, Futures trading involves an
extremely high degree of leverage. As a result, a relatively small price
movement in a Futures Contract may result in immediate and substantial loss, as
well as gain, to the investor. For example, if at the time of purchase, 10% of
the value of the Futures Contract is deposited as margin, a subsequent 10%
decrease in the value of the Futures Contract would result in a total loss of
the margin deposit, before any deduction for the transaction costs, if the
account were then closed out. A 15% decrease would result in a loss equal to
150% of the original margin deposit, if the Futures Contract were closed out.
Thus, a purchase or sale of a Futures Contract may result in losses in excess of
the amount invested in the Futures Contract.

Most U.S. futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in Futures
Contract and option on Futures Contract prices during a single trading day. The
daily limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a Futures Contract
or option may vary either up or down from the previous day's settlement price at
the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a
particular type of Futures Contract or option, no trades may be made on that day
at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movement during
a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses, because
the limit may prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures Contract
and option prices occasionally have moved to the daily limit for several
consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt
liquidation of positions and subjecting some traders to substantial losses.

If a Fund were unable to liquidate a Futures or option on Futures position due
to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 23
<PAGE> 76

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

price limits, it could incur substantial losses. The Fund would continue to be
subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, except in the
case of purchased options, the Fund would continue to be required to make daily
variation margin payments and might be required to maintain the position being
hedged by the Future or option or to maintain cash or securities in a segregated
account.

Certain characteristics of the Futures market might increase the risk that
movements in the prices of Futures Contracts or options on Futures might not
correlate perfectly with movements in the prices of the investments being
hedged. For example, all participants in the Futures and options on Futures
markets are subject to daily variation margin calls and might be compelled to
liquidate Futures or options on Futures positions whose prices are moving
unfavorably to avoid being subject to further calls. These liquidations could
increase price volatility of the instruments and distort the normal price
relationship between the Futures or options and the investments being hedged.
Also, because of initial margin deposit requirements in the Futures market are
less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets, there might be
increased participation by speculators in the Futures markets. This
participation also might cause temporary price distortions. In addition,
activities of large traders in both the Futures and securities markets involving
arbitrage, "program trading" and other investment strategies might result in
temporary price distortions.

OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS

Options on Futures Contracts are similar to options on securities or currencies
except that options on Futures Contracts give the purchaser the right, in return
for the premium paid, to assume a position in a Futures Contract (a long
position if the option is a call and short position if the option is a put) at a
specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon
exercise of the option, the delivery of the Futures position by the writer of
the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the
accumulated balance in the writer's Futures margin account, which represents the
amount by which the market price of the Futures Contract, at exercise, exceeds
(in the case of a call) or is less than (in the case of a put) the exercise
price of the option on the Futures Contract. If an option is exercised on the
last trading day prior to the expiration date of the option, the settlement will
be made entirely in cash equal to the difference between the exercise price of
the option and the closing level of the securities, currencies or index upon
which the Futures Contract is based on the expiration date. Purchasers of
options who fail to exercise their options prior to the exercise date suffer a
loss of the premium paid.

The purchase of call options on Futures can serve as a long hedge, and the
purchase of put options on Futures can serve as a short hedge. Writing call
options on Futures can serve as a limited short hedge, and writing put options
on Futures can serve as a limited long hedge, using a strategy similar to that
used for writing options on securities, foreign currencies or indices.

If a Fund writes an option on a Futures Contract, it will be required to deposit
initial and variation margin pursuant to requirements similar to those
applicable to Futures Contracts. Premiums received from the writing of an option
on a Futures Contract are included in the initial margin deposit.

A Fund may seek to close out an option position by selling an option covering
the same Futures Contract and having the same exercise price and expiration
date. The ability to establish and close out positions on such options is
subject to the maintenance of a liquid secondary market.

LIMITATION ON USE OF FUTURES, OPTIONS ON FUTURES AND CERTAIN OPTIONS ON
CURRENCIES

To the extent that a Fund enters into Futures Contracts, options on Futures
Contracts, and options on foreign currencies traded on a CFTC-regulated
exchange, in each case other than for bona fide hedging purposes (as defined by
the CFTC), the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish those
positions (excluding the amount by which options are "in-the-money") will not
exceed 5% of the liquidation value of a Fund's portfolio, after taking into
account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any contracts the Fund has
entered into. In general, a call option on a Futures Contract is "in-the-money"
if the value of the underlying Futures Contract exceeds the strike, i.e.,
exercise, price of the call; a put option on a Futures Contract is
"in-the-money" if the value of the underlying Futures Contract is exceeded by
the strike price of the put. This guideline may be modified by each Fund's Board

of Trustees without a shareholder vote. This limitation does not limit the
percentage of a Fund's assets at risk to 5%.

FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A Forward Contract is an obligation, usually arranged with a commercial bank or
other currency dealer, to purchase or sell a currency against another currency
at a future date and price as agreed upon by the parties. A Fund may either
accept or make delivery of the currency at the maturity of the Forward Contract.
A Fund may also, if its contra party agrees, prior to maturity, enter into a
closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting contract.

A Fund engages in forward currency transactions in anticipation of, or to
protect itself against, fluctuations in exchange rates. A Fund might sell a
particular foreign currency forward, for example, when it holds bonds
denominated in a foreign currency but anticipates, and seeks to be protected
against, a decline in the currency against the U.S. dollar. Similarly, a Fund
might sell the U.S. dollar forward when it holds bonds denominated in U.S.
dollars but anticipates, and seeks to be protected against, a decline in the
U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Further, a Fund might purchase a
currency forward to "lock in" the price of securities denominated in that
currency that it anticipates purchasing.

Forward Contracts are traded in the interbank market conducted directly between
currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A Forward
Contract generally has no deposit requirement, and no commissions are charged at
any stage for trades. A Fund will enter into such Forward Contracts with major
U.S. or foreign banks and securities or currency dealers in accordance with
guidelines approved by that Fund's Board of Trustees.

A Fund may enter into Forward Contracts either with respect to specific
transactions or with respect to the overall investments of the Fund. The precise
matching of the Forward Contract amounts and the value of specific securities
generally will not be possible because the future value of such securities in
foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value
of those securities between the date the Forward Contract is entered into and
the date it matures. Accordingly, it may be necessary for a Fund to purchase
additional foreign currency on the spot (i.e., cash) market (and bear the
expense of such purchase) if the market value of the security is less than the
amount of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver and if a decision is
made to sell the security and make delivery of the foreign currency. Conversely,
it may be necessary to sell on the spot market some of the foreign currency the
Fund is obligated to deliver. The projection of short-term currency market
movements is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term
hedging strategy is highly uncertain. Forward Contracts involve the risk that
anticipated currency movements will not be predicted accurately, causing a Fund
to sustain losses on such contracts and transaction costs.

At or before the maturity of a Forward Contract requiring a Fund to sell a
currency, the Fund may either sell a security and use the sale proceeds to make
delivery of the currency or retain the security and offset its contractual
obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing a second contract pursuant to
which the Fund will obtain, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the
currency that it is obligated to deliver. Similarly, a Fund may close out a
Forward Contract requiring it to purchase a specified currency by, if its contra
party agrees, entering into a second Forward Contract entitling it to sell the
same amount of the same currency on the maturity date of the first Forward
Contract. The Fund would realize a gain or loss as a result of entering into
such an offsetting Forward Contract under either circumstance to the extent the
exchange rate or rates between the currencies involved moved between the
execution dates of the first Forward Contract and the offsetting Forward
Contract.

The cost to a Fund of engaging in Forward Contracts varies with factors such as
the currencies involved, the length of the contract period and the market
conditions then prevailing. Because Forward Contracts usually are entered into
on a principal basis, no fees or commissions are involved. The use of Forward
Contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the underlying
securities a Fund owns or intends to acquire, but it does establish a rate of
exchange in advance. In addition, while Forward Contracts limit the risk of loss
due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies, they also limit any
potential gain that might result should the value of the currencies increase.

FOREIGN CURRENCY STRATEGIES -- SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

A Fund may use options on foreign currencies, Futures on foreign currencies,
options on Futures on foreign currencies and Forward Contracts, to hedge against
movements in the values of the foreign currencies in which the Fund's securities
are denominated. Such currency hedges can protect against price movements in a
security that the Fund owns or intends to acquire that are attributable to
changes in the value of the currency in which it is denominated. Such hedges do
not, however, protect against price movements in the securities that are
attributable to other causes.

A Fund might seek to hedge against changes in the value of a particular currency
when no Futures Contract, Forward Contract or option involving that currency is
available or one of such contracts is more expensive than certain other
contracts. In such cases, the Fund may hedge against price movements in that
currency by entering into a contract on another currency or basket of
currencies, the values of which LGT Asset Management believes will have a
positive correlation to the value of the currency being hedged. The risk that
movements in the price of the contract will not correlate perfectly with
movements in the price of the currency being hedged is magnified when this
strategy is used.

The value of Futures Contracts, options on Futures Contracts, Forward Contracts
and options on foreign currencies depends on the value of the underlying
currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Because foreign currency transactions
occurring in the interbank market might involve substantially larger amounts
than those involved in the use of Futures Contracts, Forward Contracts or
options, a Fund could be disadvantaged by dealing in the odd lot market
(generally consisting of transactions of less than $1 million) for the
underlying foreign currencies at prices that are less favorable than for round
lots.

There is no systematic reporting of last sale information for foreign currencies
or any regulatory requirements that quotations available through dealers or
other market sources be firm or revised on a timely basis. Quotation information
generally is representative of very large transactions in the interbank market
and thus might not reflect odd-lot transactions where rates might be less
favorable. The interbank market in foreign currencies is a global, round-
the-clock market. To the extent the U.S. options or Futures markets are closed
while the markets for the underlying currencies remain open, significant price
and rate movements might take place in the underlying markets that cannot be
reflected in the markets for the Futures contracts or options until they reopen.

Settlement of Futures Contracts, Forward Contracts and options involving foreign
currencies might be required to take place within the country issuing the
underlying currency. Thus, a Fund might be required to accept or make delivery
of the underlying foreign currency in accordance with any U.S. or foreign
regulations regarding the maintenance of foreign banking arrangements by U.S.
residents and might be required to pay any fees, taxes and charges associated
with such delivery assessed in the issuing country.

COVER

Transactions using Forward Contracts, Futures Contracts and options (other than
options that a Fund has purchased) expose the Fund to an obligation to another
party. A Fund will not enter into any such transactions unless it owns either
(1) an offsetting ("covered") position in securities, currencies, or other
options, Forward Contracts or Futures Contracts, or (2) cash, receivables and
short-term debt securities with a value sufficient at all times to cover its
potential obligations not covered as provided in (1) above. Each Fund will
comply with SEC guidelines regarding cover for these instruments and, if the
guidelines so require, set aside cash, U.S. government securities or other
liquid, high-grade debt securities in a segregated account with its custodian in
the prescribed amount.

Assets used as cover or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the
position in the corresponding Forward Contract, Futures Contract or option is
open, unless they are replaced with other appropriate assets. If a large portion
of a Fund's assets are used for cover or segregated accounts, it could affect
portfolio management or the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests or other
current obligations.

INTEREST RATE AND CURRENCY SWAPS

The Strategic Income Fund usually will enter into swaps on a net basis, that is,
the two payment streams are netted out in a cash settlement on the

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 26
<PAGE> 79

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund's receiving or
paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The net
amount of the excess, if any, of the Strategic Income Fund's obligations over
its entitlements with respect to each swap, will be accrued on a daily basis,
and an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade
debt obligations having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the
accrued excess, will be maintained in an account by a custodian that satisfies
the requirement of the 1940 Act. The Strategic Income Fund will also establish
and maintain such segregated accounts with respect to its total obligations
under any swaps that are not entered into on a net basis and with respect to any
caps or floors that are written by the Fund. LGT Asset Management and the
Strategic Income Fund believe that swaps, caps and floors do not constitute
senior securities under the 1940 Act and, accordingly, will not treat them as
being subject to the Fund's borrowing restrictions.

The Strategic Income Fund will not enter into any swap, cap, floor, collar or
other derivative transaction unless, at the time of entering into the
transaction, the unsecured long-term debt rating of the counterparty combined
with any credit enhancements is rated at least A by Moody's or S&P or has an
equivalent rating from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization
or is determined to be of equivalent credit quality by LGT Asset Management. If
a counterparty defaults, the Strategic Income Fund may have contractual remedies
pursuant to the agreements related to the transactions. The swap market has
grown substantially in recent years, with a large number of banks and investment
banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized
swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid.
Caps, floors and collars are more recent innovations for which standardized
documentation has not yet been fully developed, and, for that reason, they are
less liquid than swaps.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RISK FACTORS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emerging Countries. Investing in securities in emerging countries may entail
greater risks than investing in securities in developed countries. These risks
include (i) less social, political and economic stability; (ii) the small
current size of the markets for such securities and the currently low or
nonexistent volume of trading, which result in a lack of liquidity and in
greater price volatility; (iii) certain national policies which may restrict the
Funds' respective investment opportunities, including restrictions on investment
in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to national interests; (iv) foreign
taxation; and (v) the absence of developed structures governing private or
foreign investment or allowing for judicial redress for injury to private
property. Investing in the securities of companies in emerging markets,
including the markets of Latin America and certain Asian markets such as Taiwan,
Malaysia and Indonesia, may entail special risks relating to the potential
political and economic instability and the risks of expropriation,
nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions on foreign
investment, convertibility of currencies into U.S. dollars and on repatriation
of capital invested. In the event of such expropriation, nationalization or
other confiscation by any country, a Fund could lose its entire investment in
any such country.

Settlement mechanisms in emerging securities markets may be less efficient and
reliable than in more developed markets. In such emerging securities markets
there may be share registration and delivery delays or failures.

Most Latin American countries have experienced substantial, and in some periods
extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid
fluctuations in inflation rates and corresponding currency devaluations have had
and may continue to have negative effects on the economies and securities
markets of certain Latin American countries.

Political, Social and Economic Risks. Investing in securities of non-U.S.
companies may entail additional risks due to the potential political, social and
economic instability of certain countries and the risks of expropriation,
nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions on foreign
investment; convertibility of currencies into U.S. dollars and on

----------------------------------------------------

<PAGE> 80

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

repatriation of capital invested. In the event of such expropriation,
nationalization or other confiscation by any country, a Fund could lose its
entire investment in any such country.

An investment in a fund that invests in the emerging markets (including the
Latin America Fund, the Emerging Markets Fund, the Infrastructure Fund, the
Natural Resources Fund, the Strategic Income Fund and the International Fund) is
subject to the political and economic risks associated with investments in
emerging markets. Even though opportunities for investment may exist in emerging
markets, any change in the leadership or policies of the governments of those
countries or in the leadership or policies of any other government which
exercises a significant influence over those countries, may halt the expansion,
or reverse the liberalization, of foreign investment policies now occurring and
thereby eliminate any investment opportunities which may currently exist.

Investors should note that upon the accession to power of authoritarian regimes,
the governments of a number of emerging market countries previously expropriated
large quantities of real and personal property similar to the property which
will be represented by the securities purchased by the Funds. The claims of
property owners against those governments were never finally settled. There can
be no assurance that any property represented by securities purchased by the
Funds will not also be expropriated, nationalized, or otherwise confiscated. If
such confiscation were to occur, a Fund could lose its entire investment in such
countries. A Fund's investments would similarly be adversely affected by
exchange control regulation in any of those countries.

Certain countries in which a Fund may invest may have groups that advocate
radical religious or revolutionary philosophies or support ethnic independence.
Any disturbance on the part of such individuals could carry the potential for
widespread destruction or confiscation of property owned by individuals and
entities foreign to such country and could cause the loss of a Fund's investment
in those countries. Instability may also result from, among other things: (i)
authoritarian governments or military involvement in political and economic
decision-making, including changes in government through extra-constitutional
means; (ii) popular unrest associated with demands for improved political,
economic and social conditions; and (iii) hostile relations with neighboring or
other countries. Such political, social and economic instability could disrupt
the principal financial markets in which the Fund invests and adversely affect
the value of a Fund's assets.

Sovereign Debt. Sovereign Debt generally offers high yields, reflecting not only
perceived credit risk, but also the need to compete with other local investments
in domestic financial markets. Certain Latin American countries are among the
largest debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments.

In recent years, some of the Latin American countries in which the Latin America
Fund and the Strategic Income Fund expect to invest have encountered
difficulties in servicing their Sovereign Debt. Some of these countries have
withheld payments of interest on and/or principal of Sovereign Debt. These
difficulties have also led to agreements to restructure external debt
obligations -- in particular, commercial bank loans, typically by rescheduling
principal payments, reducing interest rates and extending new credits to finance
interest payments on existing debt. In the future, holders of Sovereign Debt may
be requested to participate in similar reschedulings of such debt.

Illiquid Securities. Each Fund, other than the Money Market Fund, may invest up
to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. The Money Market Fund may
invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Securities may be
considered illiquid if a Fund cannot reasonably expect within seven days to sell
the security approximately the amount at which the Fund values such securities.
See "Investment

----------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Limitations." The sale of illiquid securities if they can be sold at all,
generally will require more time and result in higher brokerage charges or
dealer discounts and other selling expenses than the sale of liquid securities
such as securities eligible for trading on securities exchanges or in the OTC
markets. Moreover, restricted securities, which may be illiquid for purposes of
this limitation, often sell, if at all, at a price lower than similar securities
that are not subject to restrictions on resale.

Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") establishes a "safe
harbor" from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act for resales of
certain securities to qualified institutional buyers. Institutional markets for
restricted securities that might develop as a result of Rule 144A could provide
both readily ascertainable values for restricted securities and the ability to
liquidate an investment to satisfy share redemption orders. Such markets might
include automated systems for the trading, clearance and settlement of
unregistered securities of domestic and foreign issuers, such as the PORTAL
System sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. An
insufficient number of qualified institutional buyers interested in purchasing
Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by the Funds, however, could
affect adversely the marketability of such portfolio securities, and,
consequently, the Funds might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly
or at favorable prices.

With respect to liquidity determinations generally, a Fund's Board of Trustees
has the ultimate responsibility for determining whether specific securities,
including restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, are
liquid or illiquid. LGT Asset Management monitors the liquidity of securities in
the respective Funds' portfolios and periodically reports on such decisions to
the Boards of Trustees. LGT Asset Management takes into account a number of
factors in reaching liquidity decisions, including, but not limited to: (i) the
frequency of trading in the security; (ii) the number of dealers who make quotes
for the security; (iii) the number of dealers who have undertaken to make a
market in the security; (iv) the number of other potential purchasers; and (v)
the nature of the security and how trading is effected (e.g., the time needed to
sell the security, how offers are solicited, and the mechanics of transfer).

Religious, Political or Ethnic Instability. Certain countries in which a Fund
may invest may have vocal minorities that advocate radical religious or
revolutionary philosophies or support ethnic independence. Any disturbance on
the part of such individuals could carry the potential for wide-spread
destruction or confiscation of property owned by individuals and entities
foreign to such country and could cause the loss of a Fund's investment in those
countries.

Foreign Investment Restrictions. Certain countries prohibit or impose
substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets, particularly
their equity markets, by foreign entities such as a Fund. These restrictions or
controls may at times limit or preclude investment in certain securities and may
increase the cost and expenses of a Fund. For example, certain countries require
prior governmental approval before to investments by foreign persons maybe made
or may limit the amount of investment by foreign persons in a particular
company, or limit the investment by foreign persons to only a specific class of
securities of a company that may have less advantageous terms than securities of
the company available for purchase by nationals. Moreover, the national policies
of certain countries may restrict investment opportunities in issuers or
industries deemed sensitive to national interests. In addition, some countries
require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital
or the proceeds of securities sales by foreign investors. In addition, if there
is a deterioration in a country's balance of payments, or for other reasons, a
country may impose restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad. A Fund
could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, any required
governmental approval for repatriation, as well as by the application to it of
other restrictions on investments.

Non-Uniform Corporate Disclosure Standards and Governmental Regulation. Foreign
companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial standards and
requirements that differ in some cases significantly from those applicable to
U.S. companies. In particular, the assets, liabilities and profits appearing on
the financial statements of such a company may not reflect its financial
position or results of operations in the way they would be reflected had such
financial statements been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Most of the securities held by a Fund will not be
registered

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 29
<PAGE> 82

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

with the SEC or regulators of any foreign country, nor will the issuers thereof
be subject to the SEC's reporting requirements. Thus, there will be less
available information concerning foreign issuers of securities held by the Fund
than is available concerning U.S. issuers. In instances where the financial
statements of an issuer are not deemed to reflect accurately the financial
situation of the issuer, LGT Asset Management will take appropriate steps to
evaluate the proposed investment, which may include on-site inspection of the
issuer, interviews with its management and consultations with accountants,
bankers and other specialists. There is substantially less publicly available
information about foreign companies than there are reports and ratings published
about U.S. companies and the U.S. government. In addition, where public
information is available, it may be less reliable than such information
regarding U.S. issuers. Issuers of securities on foreign jurisdictions are
generally not subject to the same degree of regulation as are U.S. issuers with
respect to such matters as restrictions on market manipulation, insider trading
rules, shareholder proxy requirements and timely disclosure of information.

Currency Fluctuations. Because each Fund (except the Money Market Fund), under
normal circumstances will invest a substantial portion, and the America Fund to
a lesser extent, of its total assets in the securities of foreign issuers which
are denominated in foreign currencies, the strength or weakness of the U.S.
dollar against such foreign currencies will account for a significant part of a
Fund's investment performance. A decline in the value of any particular currency
against the U.S. dollar will cause a decline in the U.S. dollar value of a
Fund's holdings of securities and cash denominated in such currency and,
therefore, will cause an overall decline in the Fund's net asset value and any
net investment income and capital gains derived from such securities to be
distributed in U.S. dollars to investors in the Fund. Moreover, if the value of
the foreign currencies in which a Fund receives its income falls relative to the
U.S. dollar between receipt of the income and the making of Fund distributions,
the Fund may be required to liquidate securities in order to make distributions
if the Fund has insufficient cash in U.S. dollars to meet distribution
requirements.

The rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and other currencies is determined
by several factors including the supply and demand for particular currencies,
central bank efforts to support particular currencies, the movement of interest
rates, the pace of business activity in certain other countries, and the U.S.
and other economic and financial conditions affecting the world economy.

Although each Fund values its assets daily in terms of U.S. dollars, the Funds
do not intend to convert their holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars
on a daily basis. Each Fund will do so, from time to time, and investors should
be aware of the costs of currency conversion. Although foreign exchange dealers
do not charge a fee for conversion, they do realize a profit based on the
difference ("spread") between the prices at which they are buying and selling
various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency to a
Fund at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should a Fund desire
to sell that currency to the dealer.

Adverse Market Characteristics. Securities of many foreign issuers may be less
liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S.
issuers. In addition, foreign securities markets and brokers generally are
subject to less governmental supervision and regulation than in the United
States, and foreign securities transactions usually are subject to fixed
commissions, which generally are higher than negotiated commissions on U.S.
transactions. In addition, foreign securities transactions may be subject to
difficulties associated with the settlement of such transactions. Delays in
settlement could result in temporary periods when assets of a Fund are
uninvested and no return is earned thereon. The inability of a Fund to make
intended security purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Fund to
miss attractive investment opportunities. Inability to dispose of a security due
to settlement problems either could result in losses to a Fund due to subsequent
declines in value of that security or, if a Fund has entered into a contract to
sell that security, could result in possible liability to the purchaser, LGT
Asset Management will consider such difficulties when determining the allocation
of each Fund's assets, although LGT Asset Management does not believe that such
difficulties will have a material adverse effect on a Fund's trading activities.

----------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

The Fund may use foreign custodians, which may involve risks in addition to
those related to the use of U.S. custodians. Such risks include uncertainties
relating to: (i) determining the financial strength, reputation and standing of
the foreign custodian; (ii) maintaining appropriate safeguards to protect the
Fund's investments and (iii) possible difficulties in obtaining and enforcing
judgments against such custodians.

Withholding Taxes. A Fund's net investment income from foreign issuers may be
subject to withholding taxes by the foreign issuer's country, thereby reducing
the Fund's net investment income or delaying the receipt of income when those
taxes may be recaptured. See "Taxes."

Special Considerations Affecting Europe. The countries that are members of the
European Economic Community ("Common Market") (Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece,
Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom and
Germany) eliminated certain import tariffs and quotas and other trade barriers
with respect to one another over the past several years. LGT Asset Management
believes that this deregulation should improve the prospects for economic growth
in many European countries. Among other things, the deregulation could enable
companies domiciled in one country to avail themselves of lower labor costs
existing in other countries. In addition, this deregulation could benefit
companies domiciled in one country by opening additional markets for their goods
and services in other countries. Since, however, it is not clear at this time
what the exact form or effect of these Common Market reforms will be on business
in Western Europe or the emerging European markets, it is impossible to predict
the long-term impact of the implementation of these programs on the securities
owned by the Fund.

Special Considerations Affecting Japan and Hong Kong. The concentration of
investments by a Fund in Japan means that the Fund may be more volatile than a
fund that is broadly diversified geographically. Overseas trade is important to
Japan's economy. Japan has few natural resources and must export to pay for its
imports of these basic requirements. Because of the concentration of Japanese
exports in highly visible products, Japan has had difficult relations with its
trading partners, particularly the United States, where the trade imbalance is
the greatest. It is possible that trade sanctions or other protectionist
measures could impact Japan adversely in both the short and the long term. The
Japanese securities markets are less regulated than those in the United States.
Evidence has emerged from time to time of distortion of market prices to serve
political or other purposes. Shareholders' rights are not always equally
enforced.

Hong Kong is a British colony which will transfer sovereignty to the Peoples
Republic of China in 1997. China has espoused policies antagonistic to free
enterprise capitalism and democracy. There can be no guarantee that property
rights will continue to be safeguarded in Hong Kong after 1997, although
recently China has moved toward free enterprise, and has established stock
exchanges of its own.

development programs, except that a Fund may invest in the securities of
companies that engage in these activities;

(4) Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, except that a Fund
may purchase and sell financial and currency futures contracts and options
thereon, and may purchase and sell currency forward contracts, options on
foreign currencies and may otherwise engage in other transactions in foreign
currencies;

(5) Mortgage, pledge or in any other manner transfer as security for any
indebtedness, any of its assets except to secure permitted borrowings.
Collateral arrangements with respect to initial or variation margin for
futures contracts will not be deemed to be a pledge of a Fund's assets;

(6) Borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of a Fund's total assets (including the
amount borrowed), less all liabilities and indebtedness (other than
borrowing). Transactions involving options, futures contracts, options on
futures contracts and forward currency contracts, and collateral arrangements
relating thereto will not be deemed to be borrowings;

(7) Purchase securities on margin or effect short sales, except that a Fund
may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of
purchases or sales of securities and except in connection with the use of
options, futures contracts, options thereon or forward currency contracts. A
Fund may make deposits of margin in connection with futures and forward
contracts and options thereon;

(8) Participate on a joint or a joint and several basis in any trading account
in securities. (The "bunching" of orders for the sale or purchase of
marketable securities with other accounts under the management of LGT Asset
Management to save brokerage costs or average prices among them is not deemed
to result in a securities trading account);

(9) Make loans, except that a Fund may purchase debt securities and enter into
repurchase agreements and make loans of securities;

(10) Purchase or retain the securities of an issuer if, to the knowledge of
the Fund, one or more of the Trustees or officers of that Company or LGT Asset
Management individually own beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer and together own beneficially more than 5% of such securities;

(11) Underwrite securities of other issuers, except to the extent that, in
connection with the disposition of securities, a Fund may be deemed an
underwriter under federal or state securities laws; and

(12) Invest more than 25% of the value of a Fund's total assets in securities
of issuers conducting their principal business activities in any one industry,
except that this limitation shall not apply to securities issued or guaranteed
as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities.

For purposes of the concentration policy of the Fund contained in limitation
(12) above, the Fund intends to comply with the SEC staff position that
securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by any single
foreign government or any supranational organizations in the aggregate are
considered to be securities of issuers in the same industry.

The following investment policies of each Fund, which are not fundamental
policies and may be changed by the Company's Board of Trustees without
shareholder or investor approval, are that each Fund will not:

(1) Invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, a term
which means securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the
normal course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has
valued the securities and includes, among other things, repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days;

(2) Invest more than 5% of its assets in securities of companies which,
together with any predecessor, have been in operation for less than three
years;

(3) Borrow money except for temporary or emergency purposes (not for
leveraging) not in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets;
and

----------------------------------------------------

(4) Enter into a futures contract, an option on a futures contract, or an
option on foreign currency traded on a CFTC-regulated exchange, in each case
other than for bona fide hedging purposes (as defined by the CFTC), if the
aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish all of these
positions (excluding the amount by which options are "in-the-money") exceeds
5% of the liquidation value of a Fund's portfolio, after taking into account
unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any contracts the Fund has entered
into.

A Fund will not knowingly exercise rights or otherwise acquire securities when
to do so would jeopardize the Fund's status under the 1940 Act as a diversified
investment company. A Fund may exchange securities, exercise conversion or
subscription rights, warranties, or other rights to purchase common stock or
other equity securities and may hold, except to the extent limited by the 1940
Act, any such securities so acquired without regard to the Fund's investment
policies and restrictions. The original cost of the securities so acquired will
be included in any subsequent determination of a Fund's compliance with the
investment percentage limitations referred to above and in the Funds'
Prospectus.

INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, NATURAL RESOURCES FUND

Fundamental Investment Limitations.

Neither Fund may:

(1) Buy or sell real estate (including real estate limited partnerships);
however, each Fund may invest in debt securities secured by real estate or
interests therein or issued by companies which invest in real estate or
interests therein, including real estate investment trusts;

(2) Buy or sell commodities or commodity contracts, except that each Fund may
purchase and sell financial and currency futures contracts and options
thereon, and may purchase and sell currency forward contracts, options on
foreign currencies and may otherwise engage in other transactions in foreign
currencies;

(3) Underwrite securities of other issuers, except to the extent that the
disposition of an investment position may technically cause it to be
considered an underwriter as that term is defined under the Securities Act of
1933;

short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and
sales of securities; except that it may make margin deposits in connection
with futures contracts;

(6) Borrow money except from banks not in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of
each Fund's total assets, (including the amount borrowed), less all
liabilities and indebtedness (other than the borrowing). This restriction
shall not prevent either Fund from entering into reverse repurchase
agreements, provided that reverse repurchase agreements, and any other
transactions constituting borrowing by a Fund may not exceed one-third of that

exploration or development programs; however, each Fund may invest in the
securities of companies that engage in these activities.

In addition, each Fund has adopted as a fundamental investment policy a
classification as a "diversified" investment company under the 1940 Act. This
means that, with respect to 75% of the Fund's total assets, no more than 5% will
be invested in the securities of any one issuer, and the Fund will purchase no
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. This
policy cannot be changed without approval by the holders of a majority of the
Fund's outstanding voting securities as defined above and in the Prospectus.

(8) Purchase the securities issued by other investment companies, except as
they may be acquired as part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of
assets; and

(9) Invest more than 25% of the value of the Fund's assets in securities of
issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund is permitted to invest
without such limitation in U.S. government-backed obligations.

An additional investment policy of the Fund, which is not a fundamental policy
and may be changed by a vote of the Company's Board of Trustees, without
shareholder approval to the extent consistent with regulatory requirements
provides that the Fund may not invest more than 10% of its net assets in
illiquid securities.

For purposes of the Fund's concentration policy contained in limitation (9),
above, the Fund intends to comply with the SEC staff position that securities
issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by any single foreign
government or any supranational organizations in the aggregate are considered to
be securities of issuers in the same industry.

ALL FUNDS

If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time of investment, a later
increase or decrease in percentage resulting from a change in values or assets
will not constitute a violation of that restriction.

All of the Funds have the following investment policies, which may be changed by
the Company's Board of Trustees without shareholder or investor approval:

No Fund may:

(1) Hold assets of any issuers, at the end of any calendar quarter (or within
30 days thereafter), to the extent such holdings would cause the Fund to fail
to comply with the diversification requirements for segregated asset accounts
used to fund variable annuity contracts imposed by Section 817(h) of the Code
and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder; or

(2) Except under unusual circumstances, purchase securities issued by
investment companies unless they are issued by companies that follow a policy
of investment primarily in the capital markets of a single foreign entity.

Policies that are designated as operating policies may be changed only upon
approval by the Board of Trustees and following appropriate notice to
shareholders.

Investors should refer to the Funds' Prospectus for further information with
respect to the Funds' respective investment objectives, which may not be changed
without shareholder approval, and other investment policies, techniques and
limitations, which may be changed without shareholder approval.

EXECUTION OF PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject to policies established by each Company's Board of Trustees, LGT Asset
Management is responsible for the execution of the Funds' securities
transactions and the selection of broker/dealers who execute such transactions
on behalf of the Funds. In executing securities transactions, LGT Asset
Management seeks the best net results for each Fund, taking into account such
factors as the price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer
spread), size of the order, difficulty of execution and operational facilities
of the firm involved. While LGT Asset Management generally seeks reasonably
competitive commission rates and spreads, payment of the lowest commission or
spread is not necessarily consistent with the best net results. While the Funds
may engage in soft dollar arrangements for research services, as described
below, the Funds have no obligation to deal with any broker or dealer or group
of brokers or dealers in the execution of securities transactions.

Consistent with the interests of the Funds, LGT Asset Management may select
brokers on the

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 43
<PAGE> 96

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

basis of the research and brokerage services they provide to LGT Asset
Management for its use in managing the Funds and its other advisory accounts.
Such services may include furnishing analyses, reports and information
concerning issuers, industries, securities, geographic regions, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and effecting
securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as
clearance and settlement). Research and brokerage services received from such
brokers are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be
performed by LGT Asset Management under the Management Contract (defined below).
A commission paid to such brokers may be higher than that which another
qualified broker would have charged for effecting the same transaction, provided
that LGT Asset Management determines in good faith that such commission is
reasonable in terms either of that particular transaction or the overall
responsibility of LGT Asset Management to the Funds and its other clients and
that the total commissions paid by each Fund will be reasonable in relation to
the benefits received by the Funds over the long term. Research services may
also be received from dealers who execute Fund transactions.

The securities generally are traded on a "net" basis with a dealer acting as
principal for its own account without a stated commission, although the price of
the security usually includes a profit to the dealer. U.S. and foreign
government securities and money market instruments generally are traded in the
OTC markets. In underwritten offerings, securities usually are purchased at a
fixed price which includes an amount of compensation to the underwriter. On
occasion, securities may be purchased directly from an issuer, in which case no
commissions or discounts are paid. Broker/dealers may receive commissions on
futures, currency and options transactions.

LGT Asset Management may allocate brokerage transactions to broker/dealers who
have entered into arrangements under which the broker/dealer allocates a portion
of the commissions paid by the Funds toward payment of the Funds' expenses, such
as transfer and custodian fees.

Investment decisions for each Fund and for other investment accounts managed by
LGT Asset Management are made independently of each other in light of differing
conditions. However, the same investment decision occasionally may be made for
two or more of such accounts, including one or more Funds. In such cases
simultaneous transactions may occur. Purchases or sales are then allocated as to
price or amount in a manner deemed fair and equitable to all accounts involved.
While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect upon the price
or value of the security as far as a Fund is concerned, in other cases LGT Asset
Management believes that coordination and the ability to participate in volume
transactions will be beneficial to the Funds.

Under a policy adopted by each Company's Board of Trustees, and subject to the
policy of obtaining the best net results, LGT Asset Management may consider a
broker/dealer's sale of the shares of the Funds, and the other GT Global Mutual
Funds in selecting brokers and dealers for the execution of securities
transactions. This policy does not imply a commitment to execute securities
transactions through all broker/dealers that sell shares of such funds.

Each Fund contemplates purchasing most foreign equity securities in OTC markets
or stock exchanges located in the countries in which the respective principal
offices of the issuers of the various securities are located if that is the best
available market. The fixed commissions paid in connection with most such
foreign stock transactions generally are higher than negotiated commissions on
U.S. transactions. There generally is less government supervision and regulation
of foreign stock exchanges and brokers than in the United States. Foreign
security settlements may in some instances be subject to delays and related
administrative uncertainties.

Foreign equity securities may be held by a Fund in the form of ADRs, ADSs, EDRs,
CDRs or securities convertible into foreign equity securities. ADRs, ADSs, EDRs
and CDRs may be listed on stock exchanges, or traded in the OTC markets in the
United States or Europe, as the case may be. ADRs, like other securities traded
in the United States, will be subject to negotiated commission rates. The
foreign and domestic debt securities and money market instruments in which the
Funds may invest are generally traded in the OTC markets.

The Funds contemplate that, consistent with the policy of obtaining the best net
results, brokerage transactions may be conducted through certain companies that
are members of Liechtenstein Global Trust. Each Company's Board of Trustees

has adopted procedures in conformity with Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act to
ensure that all brokerage commissions paid to such affiliates are reasonable
and fair in the context of the market in which they are operating. Any such
transactions will be effected and related compensation paid only in accordance
with applicable SEC regulations.

The aggregate brokerage commission paid by the Funds (except the International
Fund and Emerging Markets Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 and
for the International Fund and Emerging Markets Fund the fiscal period July 5,
1994 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 1994 were:

SECURITIES TRADING AND TURNOVER

The Funds engage in securities trading when LGT Asset Management has concluded
that the sale of a security owned by a Fund and/or the purchase of another
security of better value can enhance principal and/or increase income. A
security may be sold to avoid any prospective decline in market value, or a
security may be purchased in anticipation of a market rise. Consistent with a
Fund's investment objective(s), a security also may be sold and a comparable
security purchased coincidentally in order to take advantage of what is believed
to be a disparity in the normal yield and price relationship between the two
securities.

Although the Funds generally do not intend to trade for short-term profits, the
securities held by a Fund will be sold whenever LGT Asset Management believes it
is appropriate to do so, without regard to the length of time a particular
security may have been held, except when doing so could violate the Short-Short
Limitation described below in "Taxes -- General."

No Fund will consider portfolio turnover to be a limiting factor in the purchase
or sale of portfolio securities. A 100% turnover rate would occur if the lesser
of the value of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for a Fund for a year
(excluding purchases of U.S. Treasury and other securities with a maturity at
the date of purchase of one year or less) was equal to 100% of the average
monthly value of the securities (excluding short-term investments) held by that
Fund during such year. Higher turnover involves correspondingly greater
brokerage commissions and other transaction costs that a Fund will bear
directly.

MANAGEMENT

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND
ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

LGT Asset Management serves as each Fund's investment manager and administrator
under an Investment Management and Administration Contract (individually, a
"Management Contract;" collectively, the "Management Contracts") between that
Fund and LGT Asset Management. As investment manager, LGT Asset Management makes
all investment decisions for each Fund and administers each Fund's affairs. LGT
Asset Management also serves as the Company's administrator under an
Administration Contract ("Administration Contract") between each Company and LGT
Asset Management. As administrator, LGT Asset Management, among other things,
furnishes the services and pays the compensation and travel expenses of persons
who perform the executive, administrative, clerical and bookkeeping functions of
the Company, and provides suitable office space, and necessary small office
equipment and utilities.

Each Management Contract has an initial two-year term from the date of
commencement of operations. Each Management Contract may be renewed for
additional one-year terms thereafter, provided that any such renewal has been
specifically approved at least annually by: (i) that Fund's Board of Trustees,
or by the vote of a majority of that Fund's outstanding voting securities (as
defined in the 1940 Act), and (ii) a majority of Trustees who are not parties to
that Management Contract or "interested persons" of any such party (as defined
in the 1940 Act), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting
on such approval. Each Management Contract was approved by the Board of Trustees
of the respective Funds most recently on June 15, 1994, and by LGT Asset
Management as the initial shareholder of each Fund on January 13, 1993. The
Management Contract for the Telecommunications Fund was approved by LGT Asset
Management as the initial shareholder on October 15, 1993. The Management
Contract for the International Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund was approved
by the Board of Trustees on June 15, 1994 and by LGT Asset Management as the
initial shareholder on June 15, 1994. The Management Contracts for the
Infrastructure Fund, and Natural Resources Fund were approved by LGT Asset
Management as the initial shareholder on January 24, 1995. Either the Fund or
LGT Asset Management may terminate a Management Contract without penalty upon
sixty (60) days' written notice to the other party. Each Management Contract
terminates automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940
Act).

With respect to any Fund, either the Company or LGT Asset Management may
terminate the Administration Contract without penalty upon

TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICES

GT Services ("Transfer Agent") performs shareholder servicing, reporting and
general transfer agent functions for the Funds. For these services, the Transfer
Agent receives a fee of $125 per month from each Fund. The Transfer Agent also
is reimbursed by the Funds for its out-of-pocket expenses for such items as
postage, forms, telephone charges, stationery and office supplies.

EXPENSES OF THE FUNDS

As described in the Funds' Prospectus, each Fund pays all of its respective
expenses not assumed by other parties. The allocation of general Company
expenses and expenses shared by the Funds with one another, are allocated on a
basis deemed fair and equitable, which may be based on the relative net assets
of the Funds or the nature of the services performed and relative applicability
to each Fund. Expenditures, including costs incurred in connection with the
purchase or sale of securities, which are capitalized in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to investment companies, are
accounted for as capital items and not as expenses. The ratio of each Fund's
expenses to its relative net assets can be expected to be higher than the
expense ratios of funds investing solely in domestic securities, since the cost
of maintaining the custody of foreign securities and the rate of investment
management fees paid by each Fund generally are higher than the comparable
expenses of such other funds.

<PAGE> 102

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VALUATION OF SHARES

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As described in the Funds' Prospectus, each Fund's net asset value per share is
determined each day on which the New York Stock Exchange Inc. ("NYSE") is open
for business ("Business Day") as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE
(currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless weather, equipment failure or other
factors contribute to an earlier closing time). Currently, the NYSE is closed on
weekends and on certain days relating to the following holidays: New Year's Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day and Christmas Day.

The portfolio securities of the Funds, and other assets of the Funds, other than
those of the Money Market are valued as follows:

Equity securities including ADRs, ADSs and EDRs, which are traded on stock
exchanges, are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which such
securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are
being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price. In cases
where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are
valued on the exchange determined by LGT Asset Management to be the primary
market. Securities traded in the OTC market are valued at the last available bid
price prior to the time of valuation. Securities and other assets for which
market quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities
which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by or under the direction of the relevant Company's
Board of Trustees. Trading in securities on European and Far Eastern securities
exchanges and OTC markets normally is completed well before the close of regular
trading on the NYSE.

Long-term debt obligations are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid
and asked prices for such securities or, if such prices are not available, at
prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type; however, when
LGT Asset Management deems it appropriate, prices obtained for the day of
valuation from a bond pricing service will be used. Short-term debt investments
are amortized to maturity based on their cost, adjusted for foreign exchange
translation, provided such valuations represent fair value.

Options on indices, securities and currencies purchased by the Funds are valued
at their last bid price in the case of listed options or at the average of the
last bid prices obtained from dealers in the case of OTC options. When market
quotations for futures and options on futures held by a Fund are readily
available, those positions will be valued based upon such quotations.

The valuation procedures applied in any specific instance are likely to vary
from case to case. However, consideration generally is given to the financial
position of the issuer and other fundamental analytical data relating to the
investment and to the nature of the restrictions on disposition of the
securities (including any registration expenses that might be borne by a Fund in
connection with such disposition). In addition, specific factors generally are
considered, such as the cost of the investment, the market value of any
unrestricted securities of the same class (both at the time of purchase and at
the time of valuation), the size of the holding, the prices of any recent
transactions or offers with respect to such securities and any available
analysts' reports regarding the issuer.

The fair value of any other assets is added to the value of all securities
positions to arrive at the value of a Fund's total assets. A Fund's liabilities,
including accruals for expenses, are deducted from its total assets. Once the
total value of a Fund's net assets is so determined, that value is then divided
by the total number of shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares), and the
result, rounded to the nearer cent, is the net asset value per share.

Any assets or liabilities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate or, at the mean of
the current bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar last
quoted by a major bank that is a regular participant in the foreign exchange
market or on the basis of a pricing service that takes into account the quotes

provided by a number of such major banks. If none of these alternatives are
available or none are deemed to provide a suitable methodology for converting a
foreign currency into U.S. dollars, the relevant Company's Board of Trustees, in
good faith, will establish a conversion rate for such currency.

Trading in foreign securities may not take place on all days on which the NYSE
is open. Further, trading takes place in Japanese markets on certain Saturdays
and in various foreign markets on days on which the NYSE is not open,
consequently, the calculation of the Funds' respective net asset values may not
take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of securities
held by the respective Funds. Events affecting the values of such securities
that occur between the time their prices are determined and the close of regular
trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in the respective Funds' net asset
values unless LGT Asset Management, under the supervision of the relevant
Company's Board of Trustees, determines that the particular event would
materially affect net asset value. As a result, a Fund's net asset value may be
significantly affected by such trading on days when a shareholder cannot
purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.

A Fund may declare a suspension of the determination of net asset value during
the periods when it may suspend redemption privileges.

The Board of Trustees of G.T. Global Variable Investment Series has determined
in good faith that the net asset value of each share of the Money Market Fund
will remain constant at $1.00 and, although no assurance can be given that it
will be able to do so on a continuing basis, the Money Market Fund will, as
described below, employ specific investment policies and procedures to
accomplish this result. The Money Market Fund values its portfolio securities
using the amortized cost method. The amortized cost method involves valuing a
security at its cost and thereafter accruing any discount or premium at a
constant rate to maturity. Although this method provides certainty in valuation,
it may result in periods during which the value of the Money Market Fund's
securities, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price
the Money Market Fund would receive if it sold the securities. During periods of
declining interest rates, the daily yield on the Money Market Fund computed as
described above may tend to be higher than a like computation made by a similar
fund with identical investments utilizing a method of valuation based upon
market prices and estimates of market prices for all of its securities. Thus, if
the Money Market Fund's use of amortized cost resulted in a lower aggregate
value on a particular day, a prospective investor in the Money Market Fund would
be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result from investment in a
similar fund utilizing solely market values, and existing Money Market Fund
shareholders would receive less investment income. The converse would apply in a
period of rising interest rates.

In connection with the Money Market Fund's policy of valuing its securities
using the amortized cost method, the Fund adheres to certain conditions,
including maintaining a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and
purchasing only securities having remaining maturities of 13 months or less. The
Board of Trustees of G.T. Global Variable Investment Series also has established
procedures designed to stabilize, to the extent reasonably possible, the Money
Market Fund's net asset value per share at $1.00. Such procedures include review
of securities holdings by the Board of Trustees, at such intervals as it may
deem appropriate, to determine whether the Money Market Fund's net asset value
calculated by using available market quotations deviates from the net asset
value calculated by using the amortized cost method and, if so, whether such
deviation may result in material dilution or may be otherwise unfair to existing
investors. In the event the Board of Trustees of G.T. Global Variable Investment
Series determines that such a deviation exists, the Board has agreed to take
such corrective action as it deems necessary and appropriate, which action might
include selling securities prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses
or to shorten average maturity, withholding income, or establishing a net asset
value by using available market quotations or market equivalents.

INFORMATION RELATING TO SALES
AND REDEMPTIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Company is a funding vehicle for VA Contracts offered by the separate
accounts of the Participating Insurance Companies. Individual VA Contract
holders are not the shareholders of a Fund. Rather, each Participating Insurance
Company and its separate accounts are the shareholders (the "shareholders"). The
offering is without a sales charge and is made at each Fund's net asset value
per share, which is determined in the manner set forth above under "Valuation of
Shares."

GT Global, Inc. pays any distribution expenses and costs (that is, those arising
from any activity which is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares
issued by the Companies), including expenses and costs attributable to the
Companies, which are related to the printing and distributing of prospectuses to
prospective owners of the VA Contracts.

Each Company redeems all full and fractional shares of its Funds at the net
asset value per share applicable to each of its Funds. See "Valuation of Shares"
above.

Payment upon redemption is made in cash and ordinarily will occur within seven
days of receipt of a proper notice of redemption. The right to redeem shares or
to receive payment with respect to any redemption of shares of any Fund may only
be suspended: (1) for any period during which trading on the NYSE is restricted
or such Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closing;
(2) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which
disposal of securities or determination of the net asset value of that Fund is
not reasonably practicable; or (3) for such other periods as the SEC may by
order permit for the protection of shareholders of that Fund.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TAXES

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shares of the Funds are offered only to Participating Insurance Company Separate
Accounts that fund certain variable contracts. See the applicable VA Contract
prospectus for a discussion of the special taxation of insurance companies with
respect to such accounts and of the VA Contract holders.

Each Fund is treated as a separate corporation for federal income tax purposes.
In order to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company
("RIC") under the Code, each Fund must distribute to its shareholders for each
taxable year at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (consisting
generally of net investment income, net short-term capital gain, and net gains
from certain foreign currency transactions) and must meet several additional
requirements. With respect to each Fund, these requirements include the
following: (1) the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each
taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities
loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of securities or foreign
currencies, or other income (including gains from options, Futures, or Forward
Contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in securities or
those currencies ("Income Requirement"); (2) the Fund must derive less than 30%
of its gross income each taxable year from the sale or other disposition of
securities, or any of the following, that were held for less than three
months -- options, Futures, or Forward Contracts (other than those on foreign
currencies), or foreign currencies (or options, Futures, or Forward Contracts
thereon) that are not directly related to the Fund's principal business of
investing in securities (or options and Futures with respect to securities)
("Short-Short Limitation"); (3) at the close of each quarter of the Fund's
taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets must be represented
by cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs,
and other securities, with these

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 52
<PAGE> 105

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

other securities limited, with respect to any one issuer, to an amount that does
not exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets and that does not
represent more than 10% of the issuer's outstanding voting securities; and (4)
at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of
the value of its total assets may be invested in securities (other than U.S.
government securities or the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer.

As noted in the Funds' Prospectus, each Fund intends to continue to comply with
the diversification requirements imposed by section 817(h) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder. These requirements, which are in addition to the
diversification requirements mentioned above, place certain limitations on the
proportion of each Fund's assets that may be represented by any single
investment (which includes all securities of the same issuer). For these
purposes, each U.S. government agency or instrumentality is treated as a
separate issuer, while a particular foreign government and its agencies,
instrumentalities, and political subdivisions all are considered the same
issuer.

Dividends and other distributions declared by a Fund in, and payable to
shareholders of record as of a date in, October, November, or December
of any year will be deemed to have been paid by the Fund and received by the
shareholders on December 31 of that year if the distributions are paid by the
Fund during the following January.

Dividends and interest received by a Fund may be subject to income, withholding,
or other taxes imposed by foreign countries that would reduce the yield on its
securities. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may
reduce or eliminate these foreign taxes, however, and many foreign countries do
not impose taxes on capital gains with respect to investments by foreign
investors.

Each Fund (other than the Money Market Fund and the America Fund) may invest in
the stock of "passive foreign investment companies" ("PFICs"). A PFIC is a
foreign corporation that, in general, meets either of the following tests:
(1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive or (2) an average of at least
50% of its assets produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.
Under certain circumstances, a Fund will be subject to federal income tax on
a portion of any "excess distribution" received on the stock of a PFIC or of
any gain from disposition of the stock (collectively "PFIC income"), plus
interest thereon, even if the Fund distributes the PFIC income as a taxable
dividend to its shareholders. The balance of the PFIC income will be included
in the Fund's investment company taxable income and, accordingly, will not be
taxable to it to the extent that income is distributed to its shareholders.

If a Fund invests in a PFIC and elects to treat the PFIC as a "qualified
electing fund" ("QEF"), then in lieu of the foregoing tax and interest
obligation, the Fund will be required to include in income each year its pro
rata share of the QEF's annual ordinary earnings and net capital gain (the
excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) -- which
would have to be distributed because of the distribution requirements described
above -- even if those earnings and gain were not received by the Fund. In most
instances, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to make this election
because of certain requirements thereof.

Three bills passed by Congress in 1991 and 1992 and vetoed by President Bush
would have substantially modified the taxation of U.S. shareholders of foreign
corporations, including eliminating the provisions described above dealing
with PFICs and replacing them (and other provisions) with a regulatory scheme
involving entities called "passive foreign corporations." The
"Tax Simplification and Technical Corrections Bill of 1993," approved in
November 1993 by the House Ways and Means Committee, contains the same
modifications. It is unclear at this time whether, and in what form, the
proposed modifications may be enacted into law.

Proposed regulations have been published pursuant to which open-end RICs, such
as the Funds, would be entitled to elect to "mark-to-market" their stock in
certain PFICs. "Marking-to-market," in this context, means recognizing as gain
for each taxable year the excess, as of the end of that year, of the fair market
value of such a PFIC's stock over the adjusted basis in that stock (including
mark-to-market gain for each prior year for which an election was in effect).

OPTIONS, FUTURES, AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The use of hedging strategies, such as entering into Forward Contracts and
selling (writing) and purchasing options and Futures, involves complex rules
that will determine for federal income tax purposes the character and timing
of recognition of the gains and losses a Fund realizes in connection therewith.
Income from the disposition of foreign currencies (except certain gains
therefrom that may be excluded by future regulations), and income from
transactions in options, Futures, and Forward Contracts derived by a Fund with
respect to its business of investing in securities or foreign currencies, will
qualify as permissible income under the Income Requirement. However, income
from the disposition of options and Futures (other than those on foreign
currencies) will be subject to the Short-Short Limitation if they are held for
less than three months. Income from the disposition of foreign currencies, and
options, Futures, and Forward Contracts on foreign currencies, that are not
directly related to a Fund's principal business of investing in securities (or
options and Futures with respect thereto) also will be subject to the
Short-Short Limitation if they are held for less than three months.

If a Fund satisfies certain requirements, any increase in value of a position
that is part of a "designated hedge" will be offset by any decrease in value
(whether realized or not) of the offsetting hedging position during the period
of the hedge for purposes of determining whether the Fund satisfies the
Short-Short Limitation. Thus, only the net gain (if any) from the designated
hedge will be included in gross income for purposes of that limitation. Each
Fund, when it engages in hedging transactions, will consider whether it should
seek to qualify for this treatment for its hedging transactions. To the extent a
Fund does not qualify for this treatment, it may be forced to defer the closing
out of certain options, Futures, and Forward Contracts beyond the time when it
otherwise would be advantageous to do so, in order for the Fund to continue to
qualify as a RIC.

Futures and Forward Contracts that are subject to section 1256 of the Code
(other than Forward Contracts that are part of a "mixed straddle") ("Section
1256 Contracts") and that are held by a Fund at the end of its taxable year
generally will be deemed to have been sold at market value for federal income
tax purposes. Sixty percent of any net gain or loss recognized on these deemed
sales, and 60% of any net realized gain or loss from any actual sales of Section
1256 Contracts, will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, and the
balance will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss. Section 988 of the
Code also may apply to Forward Contracts and options on foreign currencies.
Under section 988, each foreign currency gain or loss generally is computed
separately and treated as ordinary income or loss. In the case of overlap
between sections 1256 and 988, special provisions determine the character and
timing of any income gain, or loss. Each Fund attempts to monitor section 988
transactions to minimize any adverse tax impact.

The foregoing is a general and abbreviated summary of certain federal income tax
considerations affecting each Fund and the separate accounts. No attempt is made
to present a complete explanation of the federal tax treatment of the Funds'
activities, and this discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax
planning. Accordingly, potential investors are urged to consult their own tax
advisers for more detailed information and for information regarding any state,
local, or foreign taxes applicable to the Funds and to dividends and other
distributions therefrom.

CUSTODIAN

State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), 225 Franklin Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02110, acts as custodian of the Funds' assets. State
Street is authorized to establish and has established individual accounts in
foreign currencies and to cause securities of the Funds to be held in such
accounts outside the United States in the custody of non-U.S. banks.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Companies' and the Funds' independent accountants are Coopers & Lybrand
L.L.P., One Post Office Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Coopers & Lybrand
L.L.P. conducts an annual audit of each Fund, assists in the preparation of the
Funds' federal and state income tax returns and consults with the Companies and
the Funds as to matters of accounting, regulatory filings, and federal and
state income taxation.

The audited financial statements of each Company and each Fund included in this
Statement of Additional Information have been examined by Coopers & Lybrand
L.L.P., as stated in its opinion appearing herein, and are included in reliance
upon such opinion given upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting
and auditing.

USE OF NAME

LGT Asset Management has granted each Company the right to use the "GT" name and
"GT Global" and has reserved the right to withdraw its consent to the use of
such names by either Company and/or any of the Funds at any time, or to grant
the use of such names to any other company.

SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY

Under certain circumstances, a shareholder of a Fund may be held personally
liable for the obligations of the Fund. Each Company's Declaration of Trust
provides that shareholders shall not be subject to any personal liability for
the acts or obligations of a Fund or the Company and that every written
agreement, obligation or other undertaking made or issued by a Fund or the
Company shall contain a provision to the effect that shareholders are not
personally liable thereunder. Each Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the Company's assets under certain circumstances, and
further provides that the Company shall, upon request, assume the defense of
any act or obligation of a Fund or the Company and that the Fund in which the
shareholder holds shares will indemnify the shareholder for all legal and other
expenses incurred therewith. Thus, the risk of any shareholder incurring
financial loss beyond his or her investment, on account of this theoretical
shareholder liability, is limited to circumstances in which the Fund or the
Company itself would be unable to meet its obligations.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENT RESULTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds' "Standardized Return", as referred to in the Funds' Prospectus (see
"Other Information -- Performance Information" in the Prospectus), is calculated
as follows: Standardized Return ("T") is computed by using the value at the end
of the period ("EV") of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P") over a
period of years ("n") according to the following formula as required by the SEC:
n
P(1+T) = EV. The following assumptions will be reflected in computations made
in accordance with this formula: (1) reinvestment of dividends and other
distributions at net asset value on the reinvestment date determined by
the Board of

----------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Trustees; and (2) a complete redemption at the end of any period illustrated.
The Standardized Return quotation does not reflect the charges deducted from the
Participating Insurance Companies' separate accounts. See the VA Contract
prospectus. If these charges were deducted to reflect the effective Standardized
Return to the VA Contract owner, that Standardized Return would be lower than
the Standardized Returns quoted.

"Non-Standardized Return," as referred to in the Funds' Prospectus, is
calculated for a specified period of time by assuming the investment of $1,000
in Fund shares and further assuming the reinvestment of all dividends and other
distributions made to Fund shareholders in additional Fund shares at their net
asset value. Percentage rates of return are then calculated by comparing this
assumed initial investment to the value of the hypothetical account at the end
of the period for which the Non-Standardized Return is quoted. The
Non-Standardized Return quotation does not reflect the charges deducted from the
Participating Insurance Companies' separate accounts. See the VA Contract
prospectus. If these charges were deducted, the Non-Standardized Return
quotation would be lower than those stated. Non-Standardized Returns may be
quoted for the same or different time periods for which Standardized Returns are
quoted.

As discussed in the Prospectus, each Fund may quote Non-Standardized Total
Returns that do not reflect the effect of sales charges. Non-Standardized
Returns may be quoted for the same or different time periods for which
Standardized Returns are quoted.

The Non-Standardized Returns for each Fund (except the Telecommunications Fund)

The Non-Standardized Returns for the International Fund and the Emerging Markets

Each Fund's investment results will vary from time to time depending upon market
conditions, the composition of the Fund's portfolio and operating expenses of a
Fund, so that current or past yield or total return should not be considered
representations of what an investment in a Fund may earn in any future period.
These factors and possible differences in the methods used in calculating
investment results should be considered when comparing a Fund's investment
results with those published for other investment companies and other
investment vehicles. A Fund's results also should be considered relative to
the risks associated with such Fund's investment objective and policies.

Current yield ("YIELD") is computed by dividing the difference between dividends
and interest earned during a one-month period ("a") and expenses accrued for the
period (net of reimbursements) ("b") by the product of the average daily number
of shares outstanding during the period that were entitled to receive dividends
("c") and the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period
("d") according to the following formula as required by the SEC:
_ _
| a - b |
YIELD = 2 | ( -----1 + 1)6 - 1 |

Performance figures for a Fund will only be advertised if comparable performance
figures for the corresponding division of the separate account are included in
the advertisement. Each Fund's investment results will vary from time to time
depending upon market conditions, the composition of the Fund's portfolio and
operating expenses of a Fund, so that current or past yield or total return
should not be considered representations of what an investment in a Fund may
earn in any future period. These factors and possible differences in the
methods used in calculating investment results should be considered when
comparing a Fund's investment results with those published for other investment
companies and other investment vehicles whose shares are offered to insurance
company separate accounts. A Fund's results also should be considered relative
to the risks associated with such Fund's investment objectives and policies.

The Money Market Fund may, from time to time, provide yield information or
comparisons of its yield to various averages including data from Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., Bank Rate Monitor(TM), IBC/Donaghue's Money Fund
Report, Money Magazine, and other industry publications (to the extent they
apply to investment companies whose shares are offered to insurance company
separate accounts, in advertisements or in reports furnished to current or
prospective shareholders).

The Money Market Fund calculates its yield for its shares daily, based upon the
seven days ending on the day of the calculation, called the "base period." The
yield is computed by determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical
account with a balance of one share at the beginning of the base period, with
the net change, excluding capital changes, but including the value of any
additional shares purchased with dividends earned from the original one share
and all dividends declared on the original and any purchased shares; dividing
the net change in the account's value by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to determine the base period return; and
multiplying the base period return by ( 365/7). The Money Market Fund's
effective yield is computed by compounding the unannualized base period return
by adding 1 to the base period return; raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and
subtracting 1 from the result.

For the seven-day period ended December 31, 1994, the Fund's share yield was
5.07% and effective yield was 5.20% which reflects .09% of expenses reimbursed
pursuant to undertakings in

The Money Market Fund's investment results may also be calculated for longer
periods in accordance with the following method: by subtracting (a) the net
asset value of one share at the beginning of the period, from (b) the net asset
value of all shares an investor would own at the end of the period for the share
held at the beginning of the period (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions) and dividing by (c) the net asset value per share at the
beginning of the period. The resulting percentage indicates the positive or
negative rate of return that an investor would have earned from the reinvested
dividends and distributions and any changes in share price during the period.
These performance quotations do not reflect the charges deducted from the
Participating Insurance Companies' separate accounts. See the VA Contract
prospectus. If these charges were deducted, such quotations would be lower
than those calculated for the Money Market Fund.

The performance figures for the Money Market Fund will only be advertised if
comparable performance figures for the corresponding division of the separate
account are included in the advertisement. The Money Market Fund's investment
results will vary from time to time depending upon market conditions, the
composition of the Fund's portfolio and operating expenses of the Fund, so that
any yield figure should not be considered representative of what an investment
in the Fund may earn in any future period. These factors and possible
differences in calculation methods should be considered when comparing the
Fund's investment results with those published for other investment companies
and other investment vehicles whose shares are offered to insurance company
separate accounts. Investment results also should be considered relative to
the risks associated with the investment objective and policies.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING WORLD FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC DATA

The following information is based on sources believes to be reliable, but which
may be subject to revision and which has not been independently verified by
either Company or GT Global. The authors and publishers of such material are not
to be considered as "experts" under the Securities Act of 1933, on account of
the inclusion of such information herein.

A portion of the performance figures for each market includes the positive or
negative effects of the currency exchange rates effective at December 31 of
each year between the U.S. dollar and currency of the foreign market (e.g.
Japanese Yen, German Deutschemark, Hong Kong Dollar). A foreign currency which
has strengthened or weakened against the U.S. dollar will positively or
negatively affect the reported returns, as the case may be.

GT Global believes that this information may be useful to investors
considering whether and to what extent to diversify their investments through
the purchase of mutual funds investing in securities on a global basis.
However, this data is not a representation of the past performance of any of
these Funds, nor is it a prediction of such performance. The performance of the
Funds will differ from the historical performance of the indices represented
above. The performance of indices does not take expenses into account, while
each Fund incurs expenses in its operations, which will reduce performance.
Each Fund is actively managed, i.e., LGT Asset Management, as each Fund's
investment manager, actively purchases and sells securities in seeking each
Fund's investment objective. Moreover, each Fund may invest a portion of its
assets in

----------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

corporate bonds, while the above data relates only to government bonds. Each of
these factors will cause the performance of each Fund to differ from the indices
shown above.

The Funds, from time to time, may be compared with the following to the extent
they apply to investment companies whose shares are offered to insurance company
separate accounts:

(1) The Salomon Brothers Non-U.S. Dollars Indices, which are measures of the
total return performance of high quality non-U.S. dollar denominated
securities in major sectors of the worldwide bond markets.

(2) The Lehman Brothers Long Treasury Bond Index, which is a measure of the
total return on all ten-year and longer U.S. treasuries with a base year of
1980 = $1,000.

(3) The Consumer Price Index, which is a measure of the average change in
prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services (e.g., food,
clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and
dentists' services, prescription medicines, and other goods and services that
people buy for day-to-day living). There is inflation risk which does not
affect a security's value but its purchasing power; the risk of changing price
levels in the economy that affects security prices or the price of goods and
services.

(4) Data, mutual fund and variable account rankings and comparisons published
or prepared by Lipper Analytical Data Services, Inc. ("Lipper"),
CDA/Wiesenberger Investment Company Services ("CDA/ Wiesenberger"),
Morningstar, Inc. ("Morningstar"), Financial Planning Resources Inc.,
publisher of a compilation of data regarding variable accounts ("VARDS")
and/or other companies that rank or compare mutual funds or variable annuity
account divisions by overall performance, investment objectives, assets,
expense levels, periods of existence and/or other factors. In this regard,
each Fund may be compared to the Fund's "peer group" as defined by Lipper,
CDA/ Wiesenberger, Morningstar, VARDS and/or other firms, as applicable, or to
specific funds or groups of funds within or without such peer group. Lipper
generally ranks funds on the basis of total return, assuming reinvestment of
distributions, but does not take sales charges or redemption fees into
consideration, and is prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition
to the mutual fund rankings, the Fund's performance may be compared to mutual
fund performance indices prepared by Lipper. Morningstar is a mutual fund
rating service that also rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Morningstar ratings are calculated from a fund's three, five and
ten year average annual returns with appropriate fee adjustments and a risk
factor that reflects fund performance relative to the three-month U.S.
Treasury bill monthly returns. Ten percent of the fund in an investment
category receive five stars and 22.5% receive four stars. The ratings are
subject to change each month.

(5) Bear Stearns Foreign Bond Index, which provides simple average returns for
individual countries and GNP-weighted index, beginning in 1975. The returns
are broken down by local market and currency.

(6) Ibbottson Associates International Bond Index, which provides a detailed
breakdown of local market and currency returns since 1960.

(7) Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index which is a widely
recognized index composed of the capitalization-weighted average of the price
of 500 of the largest publicly traded stocks in the United States.

(8) Salomon Brothers Broad Investment Grade Index which is a widely used index
composed of U.S. domestic government, corporate and mortgage-backed fixed
income securities.

(9) Dow Jones Industrial Average.

(10) CNBC/Financial News Composite Index.

(11) Morgan Stanley Capital International World Indices, including, among
others, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, Far East
Index ("EAFE Index"). The EAFE Index is an unmanaged index of more than 1,000
companies of Europe, Australia and the Far East.

(12) Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index and Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index-Non-U.S. are each a widely used index composed of world
government bonds.

(13) The World Bank Publication of Trends in Developing Countries ("TIDE").

To the extent that they apply to investment companies whose shares are offered
to insurance company separate accounts, indices, economic and financial data
prepared by the research departments of such financial organizations as Salomon
Brothers, Inc., Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc.,
J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Smith Barney, S.G. Warburg, Jardine Flemming,
Barings Securities, The Bank for International Settlements, Asian Development
Bank, Bloomberg, L.P., and Ibbottson Associates may be used, as well as
information reported by the Federal Reserve and the respective Central Banks of
various nations. In addition, GT Global may use performance rankings, ratings
and commentary reported periodically in national financial publications,
including but not limited to Money Magazine, Smart Money, Global Finance,
EuroMoney, Financial World, Forbes, Fortune, Business Week, Latin Finance, The
Wall Street Journal, Emerging Markets Weekly, Kiplinger's Guide To Personal
Finance, Barron's, The Financial Times, USA Today, The New York Times, Far
Eastern Economic Review, The Economist and Investors Business Digest. Each Fund
may compare its performance to that of other compilations or indices of
comparable quality to those listed above and other indices which may be
developed and made available in the future.

From time to time, each Fund and GT Global may refer to the number of
contractholders or the dollar amount of each Fund's assets under management in
advertising materials.

From time to time, each Fund and GT Global may refer to the total amount of
assets under Liechtenstein Global Trust management, or the total amount of
assets under custody with the Liechtenstein Global Trust, in advertising
materials.

GT Global believes each Fund is an appropriate investment for long-term
investment goals including, but not limited to funding retirement, paying for
education or purchasing a house. GT Global may provide information designed to
help individuals understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. For example, GT Global may describe general principles of investing,
such as asset allocation, diversification and risk tolerance. Each Fund does not
represent a complete investment program and the investors should consider each
Fund as appropriate for a portion of their overall investment portfolio with
regard to their long-term investment goals. There is no assurance that any such
information will lead to achieving these goals or guarantee future results.

From time to time, GT Global may refer to or advertise the names of companies,
or their products although there can be no assurance that any GT Global Variable
Investment Fund may own the securities of these companies.

Advertising and sales literature for the Contract may discuss the financial
ratings of any of the Participating Insurance Companies as compiled by
independent agencies. These independent agencies rate insurance companies'
overall financial strength, ability to meet contractual obligations, ability to
discharge senior policyholder obligations and claims, overall claims-paying
ability and other financial measures related to long-term solvency and
liquidity. The independent agencies which may be quoted include, but are not
limited to:
- A.M. Best Company
- Moody's Investors Service
- Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services
- Duff & Phelps, Incorporated

Ratings descriptions are relevant only to the insurance company and do not apply
to variable annuities or the underlying accounts which are subject to market
risk and whose value will fluctuate with market conditions.

In addition, advertising and sales literature for the Contracts may discuss the
assets of any of the Participating Insurance Companies, including a breakdown of
annuity assets under management, as well as the number of years the company has
been involved in the annuity marketplace.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical returns
of the capital markets in the United States, including common stocks, small
capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds, intermediate-term government
bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation
(based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets are based on the returns of different indices.

GT Global Variable Investment Funds may use the performance of these capital
markets in order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment
in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in
any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the funds.
Ibbotson calculates total returns in the same method as the funds. The funds may
also compare performance to that of other compilations or indices that may be
developed and made available in the future.

Each Fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation in
advertising. In addition, each Fund may compare these measures to those of other
funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare each Fund's historical share price
fluctuations or total returns compared to those of a benchmark. All measures of
volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical data.

Each Fund may describe in its sales material and advertisements how an investor
may invest in the GT Global Variable Investment Funds through various retirement
accounts and plans that offer deferral of income taxes on investment earnings
and may also enable an investor to make pre-tax contributions. Because of their
advantages, these retirement accounts and plans may produce returns superior to
comparable non-retirement investments. The Funds may also discuss these accounts
and plans which include:

SEP-IRAS AND SALARY-REDUCTION SEP-IRAS: Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plans
and salary-reduction SEPs provide self-employed individuals (and any eligible
employees) with benefits similar to Keogh-type plans or 401(k) plans, but with
fewer administrative requirements and therefore potential lower annual
administration expenses.

403(B)(7) CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS: Employees of public schools and most other
not-for-profit organizations can make pre-tax salary reduction contributions to
these accounts.

PROFIT SHARING (INCLUDING 401(K)) AND MONEY PURCHASE PENSION PLANS: Corporations
can sponsor these qualified defined contribution plans for their employees. A
401(k) plan, a type of profit sharing plan, additionally permit the eligible,
participating employees to make pre-tax salary reduction contributions to the
plan (up to certain limitations).

GT Global may from time to time in its sales materials and advertising discuss
the risks inherent in investing. The major types of investment risks are market
risk, industry risk, credit risk, interest risk and inflation risk. Risk
represents the possibility that you may lose some or all of your investment over
a period of time. A basic tenet of investing is the greater the potential
reward, the greater the risk.

From time to time, the GT Global Variable Investment Funds and GT Global will
quote information including but not limited to data

From time to time, GT Global may include in its advertisement and sales material
information about privatization which is an economic process involving the sale
of state-owned companies to the private sector.

In advertising and sales materials, GT Global may make reference to or discuss
its products, services and accomplishments. Among these accomplishments are that
in 1983 GT Global provided assistance to the government of Hong Kong in linking
its currency to the U.S. dollar, and that in 1987 Japan's Ministry of Finance
licensed G.T. Management (Japan) Ltd. as one of the first foreign discretionary
investment managers for Japanese investors. Such accomplishments, however,
should not be viewed as an endorsement of GT Global by the government of Hong
Kong, Japan's Ministry of Finance or any other government or government agency.
Nor do any such accomplishments of GT Global provide any assurance that the GT
Global Variable Investment Funds' investment objectives will be achieved.

THE GT ADVANTAGE

LGT Asset Management has developed a unique team approach to its global money
management which we call the GT Advantage. LGT Asset Management's money
management style combines the best of the "top-down" and "bottom-up" investment
manager strategies. The top-down approach is implemented by LGT Asset
Management's Investment Policy Committee which sets broad guidelines for asset
allocation and currency management based on LGT Asset Management's own
macroeconomic forecasts and research from our worldwide offices. The bottom-up
approach utilizes regional teams of individual portfolio managers to implement
the committee's guidelines by selecting local securities that offer both strong
income and/or growth potential.

Standard deviation of returns is a statistical measure of the degree to which a
value tends to vary from its average annual mean. In general, greater risk must
be assumed to generate greater returns. This data may not correspond to the
actual performance of any of the GT Global Variable Investment Funds. The bar
chart below shows the yield to maturity, as of December 31, 1994 (including
future interest payments and principal repayment at par for 10-year government
bonds, as priced by Salomon Brothers, Inc.). This data is based on U.S. dollar
values for the period shown. The actual yield will differ depending on whether
the bonds are held to maturity and on exchange rates at the time of maturity.
Historical yields are not necessarily indicative of future yields nor will they
correspond to the yields of the Funds. Yields to maturity over longer periods
have fluctuated greatly.

+ Market capitalization is not a measure of investment performance. Accordingly,
the above market capitalization figures are not intended to illustrate
investment performance in any individual developing market. Although the
period December 31, 1984 to December 31, 1994 was one of growing market
capitalization throughout the world, market capitalization in certain emerging
markets encountered periods of volatility rather than a steadily increasing
trend.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN EMERGING MARKETS

LGT Asset Management has identified six phases to track the progress of
developing economies.

In addition, LGT Asset Management focuses on the transitions between each phase:

Between Phases 1 & 2, Stabilization: Developing nations recognize the need for
economic reform and launch initiatives to stabilize their economies. Typical
measures might include initiating monetary reforms to contain inflation,
controlling government spending, and addressing external trade imbalances.

Between Phases 2 & 3, Renovation: Economic development gathers momentum as the
governments of developing nations take further steps to increase productivity
and external competitiveness. Typical reforms include easing market regulations,
privatizing state-owned industries, lowering trade barriers and reforming the
national tax structure.

Between Phases 3 & 4, New Construction: As economic reforms take hold,
infrastructure improvements are needed to facilitate and support long-term
growth. The construction and upgrading of highways and airports, communications
and utility systems generally require financing in the form of public debt.
Similarly, as the private sector develops, bolstered by new privatizations,
corporate debt securities typically are issued to finance business expansion.

EMERGING MARKET TRADING

The annual trading volume of debt securities from developing economies according
to Salomon Brothers, Inc. has grown from $90 billion in 1990, to $150 billion in
1991, to $400 billion in 1992 and was estimated to be $1,200 billion at the end
of 1993 and $1.5 trillion at the end of 1994, respectively.

INFORMATION ABOUT CURRENT GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

LGT Asset Management believes that there is a current worldwide trend toward
disinflation which can provide a superior environment for global bond investing.
As of December 31, 1993, ISI Group (for years 1963-1992) and Bloomberg L.P.
(1993) reports that the average inflation rates of the U.S., Japan, Germany the
UK, France and Canada are approaching their lowest levels since 1963 (the low
during this time period was reported in 1986). We believe that the current
disinflationary environment should eventually lead to lower interest rates
globally and could provide the potential for capital appreciation.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT RATINGS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") employs the designations "Prime-1,"
and "Prime-2" to indicate commercial paper having the highest capacity for
timely repayment. Issuers rated Prime-1 (for supporting institutions) have a
superior ability for repayment of short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment
capacity normally will be evidenced by many of the following characteristics:
leading market positions in well-established industries; high rates of return on
funds employed; conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on
debt and ample asset protections; broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed
financial charges and high internal cash generation; and well-established access
to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
Issuers rated Prime-2 (for supporting institutions) have a strong ability for
repayment of short-term debt obligations. This normally will be evidenced by
many of the characteristics cited above, but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends
and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation.
Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected
by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Ratings by Standard & Poor's ("S&P") of commercial paper are graded into four
categories

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 74
<PAGE> 127

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

ranging from "A-1" for the highest quality obligations to "D" for the lowest.
A-1 -- This highest category indicates that the degree of safety regarding
timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong
safety characteristics will be denoted with a plus sign (+) designation.
A-2 -- Capacity for timely payments on issues with this designation is
satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated "A-1."

DESCRIPTION OF BOND RATINGS

Moody's rates the debt securities issued by various entities from "Aaa" to "C."
Investment Grade Ratings are the first four categories.

Aaa -- Best quality. These securities carry the smallest degree of investment
risk and are generally referred to as "gilt edged." Interest payments are
protected by a large or exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.
While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as
can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong
position of such issues.

Aa -- High quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise
what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the
best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa
securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude
or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risk appear
somewhat larger than the Aaa securities.

A -- Upper-medium-grade obligations. These bonds possess many favorable
investment attributes. Factors giving security to principal and interest are
considered adequate, but elements may be present which suggest a
susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa -- Medium-grade obligations (i.e., they are neither highly protected nor
poorly secured). Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for
the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack
outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have speculative
characteristics as well.

Ba -- Have speculative elements and their future cannot be considered to be
well-assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be
very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times
over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B -- Generally lack characteristics of the desirable investment. Assurance of
interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the
contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa -- Poor standing. Such issues may be in default or there may be present
elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca -- Speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have
other marked shortcomings.

C -- Lowest rated class of bonds. Issues so rated can be regarded as having
extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

ABSENCE OF RATING: Where no rating has been assigned or where a rating has been
suspended or withdrawn, it may be for reasons unrelated to the quality of the
issue.

Should no rating be assigned, the reason may be one of the following:

1. An application for rating was not received or accepted.

2. The issue or issuer belongs to a group of securities or companies that are
not rated as a matter of policy.

3. There is a lack of essential data pertaining to the issue or issuer.

4. The issue was privately placed, in which case the rating is not published
in Moody's publications.

Suspension or withdrawal may occur if new and material circumstances arise, the
effects of which preclude satisfactory analysis; if there is no longer available
reasonable up-to-date data to permit a judgement to be formed; if a bond is
called for redemption; or for other reasons.

Note: Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 in each generic rating
classification from Aa to B in its corporate bond rating system.
The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the
modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating
category.

S&P rates the securities debt of various entities in categories ranging from
"AAA" to "D"

----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Additional Information Page 75
<PAGE> 128

------------------------------------------------

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

according to quality. Investment grade ratings are the first four categories:

AAA -- Highest rating. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
extremely strong.

AA -- Very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs
from AAA issues only in a small degree.

A -- Has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal, although it is
somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances
and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

BBB -- Regarded as having adequate capacity to pay interest and repay
principal. Whereas
it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters, adverse economic
conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened
capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in
higher rated categories.

BB, B, CCC, CC, C -- Debt rated "BB," "B," "CCC," "CC," and "C" is regarded, on
balance, as predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest
and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. "BB"
indicates the lowest degree of speculation and "C" the highest degree of
speculation. While such debt will likely have some quality and protective
characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk
exposure to adverse conditions.

BB -- Has less near-term vulnerability to default than other speculative
issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse
business, financial or economic conditions which could lead to inadequate
capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments. The "BB" rating
category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an
actual or implied "BBB-" rating.

B -- Has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has the capacity to
meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse business, financial
or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to pay
interest and repay principal. The "B" rating category is also used for debt
subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied "BB" or
"BB-" rating.

CCC -- Has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default and is dependent
upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet timely
payment of interest and repayment of principal. In the event of adverse
business, financial or economic conditions, it is not likely to have the
capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The
"CCC" rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that
is assigned an actual or implied "B"or "B-" rating.

CC -- Typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned
an actual or implied "CCC" rating.

C -- Typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt which is assigned
an actual or implied "CCC-" debt rating. The "C" rating may be used to cover a
situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed, but debt service
payments are continued.

C1 -- This rating is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being
paid.

D -- In payment default. The "D" rating category is used when interest
payments or principal payments are not made on the date due even if the
applicable grace period has
not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such
grace period. The "D" rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy
petition if debt service payments are jeopardized.

NOTE RATINGS

S&P: The SP-1 rating denotes a very strong or strong capacity to pay principal
and interest. Those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety
characteristics will be given a plus (+) designation.

The SP-2 rating denotes a satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.

Moody's: The MIG 1 designation denotes best quality. There is present strong
protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or demonstrated
broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

The MIG 2 designation denotes high quality. Margins of protection are ample
although not as large as in the preceding group.

The Funds and LGT Asset Management believe that certain political and market
factors merit an investor's consideration of a telecommunications investment. In
analyzing the telecommunications industry, LGT Asset Management has identified
four areas that it expects will create investment opportunities. LGT Asset
Management believes that deregulation of companies in the industry, which will
allow competition to promote greater efficiencies, privatization of state-owned
telecommunications businesses, development of infrastructure in underdeveloped
countries and upgrading of services in other countries, and emergence of
technologies that will enhance productivity and reduce costs in the
telecommunications industry, will lead to growth in the sector. Of course, there
is no certainty that these factors will produce the anticipated results. The
following chart provides information on the key emerging trends, as identified
by LGT Asset Management, occurring in the telecommunications industry in some of
the world's countries.

Moreover, according to LGT Asset Management, the telecommunications industry
historically has proven to be a relatively non-cyclical industry that provides
goods and services to the public in periods of economic weakness as well as
economic strength. LGT Asset Management believes that the emerging economies
around the world lack access to basic telephone service. The following chart
illustrates the need for basic telephone service outside the United States.

DEREGULATION IN THE UNITED STATES

The United States has been the bellwether for deregulation of the telephone
industry. The divestiture of the Bell System from American Telephone and
Telegraph has produced new competing companies in the United States. Such U.S.
market-driven competition has, for example, led to lower costs for consumers
which in turn led to greater consumer usage and to higher industrywide revenues.
LGT Asset Management expects this scenario to continue to benefit such companies
in the U.S. and similarly to be realized by the established telecommunications
companies in established economies, although no assurances can be made in this
regard. The above information on the deregulation of long distance and
international telephone service carriers in the United States is based on a
study from a source that indicated the study would not be updated in the near
future. It is believed by GT Global, however, that although the study has not
been updated, GT Global believes the trend continues to be accurate.

NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 1994

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

G.T. Global Variable Investment Series and G.T. Global Variable Investment Trust
("Companies") were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on May 26, 1992
and September 17, 1992, respectively. The Companies are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") as open-end management investment
companies. The G.T. Global Variable Investment Series operates as a series
company currently issuing five classes of shares of beneficial interest: GT
Global Variable New Pacific Fund (formerly GT GlobalVariable Pacific Fund), GT
Global Variable Europe Fund, GT Global Variable America Fund, GT Global Variable
International Fund and GT Global Money Market Fund. G.T. Global Variable
Investment Trust operates as a series company currently issuing seven classes of
shares of beneficial interest: GT Global Variable Latin America Fund, GT Global
Variable Growth & Income Fund, GT Global Variable Strategic Income Fund, GT
Global Variable Global Government Income Fund, GT Global Variable U.S.
Government Income Fund, GT Global Variable Emerging Markets Fund and GT Global
Variable Telecommunications Fund. (The classes of shares of beneficial interest
for the two companies are referred to herein collectively as the "Funds.") Each
of the Funds is classified as a diversified management investment company;
except for GT Global Variable Latin America Fund, GT Global Variable Growth &
Income Fund, GT Global Variable Strategic Income Fund and GT Global Variable
Global Government Income Fund, which are each registered as a non-diversified
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION

The Funds calculate the net asset value of and complete orders to purchase,
exchange or repurchase Fund shares on each business day, with the exception of
those days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.

Equity securities are valued at the last sales price on the exchange on which
such securities are traded, or, in the principal over-the-counter market in
which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the
securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid
price. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last
available sales price in the over-the-counter market prior to valuation. In
cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are
valued on the exchange determined by LGT Asset Management, Inc. ("LGT Asset
Management") to be the primary market.

Fixed income investments are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid and
ask prices for such investments or, if such prices are not available, at prices
for investments of comparative maturity, quality and type; however, when LGT
Asset Management deems it appropriate, prices obtained for the day of valuation
from a bond pricing service will be used. Short-term investments with a maturity
of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost adjusted for foreign exchange
translation and market fluctuations, if any.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available (including
restricted securities which are subject to limitations on their sale) are valued
at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of each of
the Companies' Board of Trustees.

Portfolio securities which are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are
generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their
respective exchanges, and those values are then translated into U.S. dollars at
the current exchange rates, except that when an occurrence subsequent to the
time a value was so established is likely to have materially changed such value,
then the fair value of those securities will be determined by consideration of
other factors by or under the direction of the Companies' Board of Trustees.

(B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market
values of foreign securities, currency holdings, and other assets and
liabilities are recorded in the books and records of the Funds after translation
to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates on that day. The cost of each
security is determined using historical exchange rates. Income and withholding
taxes are translated at prevailing exchange rates when earned or incurred.

As of January 1, 1994, the Funds adopted Statement of Position 93-4: "Foreign
Currency Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation for Investment
Companies." As permitted under the SOP, the Funds do not isolate that portion of
the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on
investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of
securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and
unrealized gain or loss from investments.

F-53
<PAGE> 188
GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from sales and
maturities of short-term securities, forward foreign currency contracts, sales
of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the
amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the
Funds' books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the
value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal
year end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

With respect to repurchase agreements entered into by the Funds, it is the
Funds' policy to always receive, as collateral, United States government
securities or other high quality debt securities of which the value, including
accrued interest, is at least equal to the amount to be repaid to the Funds
under each agreement at its maturity. LGT Asset Management is responsible for
determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at least equal
to the resale price.

(D) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A forward foreign currency contract ("Forward") is an agreement between two
parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market
value of the Forward fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The
Forward is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by
the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the Forward is closed, the Funds
record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Forwards involve
market risk in excess of the amount shown in the Funds' "Statements of Assets
and Liabilities." The Funds could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are
unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency
changes unfavorably. The Funds may enter into Forwards in connection with
planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the value of portfolio
securities denominated in a particular currency.

(E) OPTION ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received
is included in the Fund's "Statement of Assets and Liabilities" as an asset and
an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently
marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. The current
market value of an option is the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale,
the last offering price. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date
or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is
realized without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying
security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written
call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the
underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium
originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the
underlying security purchased would be decreased by the premium originally
received. A Fund can write options only on a covered basis, which, for a call,
requires that the Fund hold the underlying securities and, for a put, requires
the Fund to set aside cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid, high
grade debt securities in an amount not less than the exercise price at all times
while the put option is outstanding. The Funds will use options in order to
manage their exposure to currency levels or interest rates.

The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is included
in the Fund's "Statement of Assets and Liabilities" as an investment and
subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the
option. If an option which a Fund has purchased expires on the stipulated
expiration date, the Fund would realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the
option. If a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the Fund would realize
a gain or loss, depending on whether proceeds from the closing sale transaction
are greater or less than the cost of the option. If a Fund exercises a call
option, the cost of the securities acquired by exercising the call is increased
by the premium paid to buy the call. If a Fund exercises a put option, it
realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the
proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid.

The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally
paid. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund may forego the
opportunity of profit if the market value of the underlying security or index
increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that
the fund may incur a loss if the market value of the underlying security or
index decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there is the risk the
Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid
secondary market.

(F) FUTURES CONTRACTS

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a
security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract a
Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal
to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange on which the
contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or
pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of
the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are
recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed,
the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was
closed. The potential risk to the Fund is that the change in value of the
underlying securities may not correlate to the change in value of the contracts.

(G) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy
or sell is executed). The cost of securities

F-54
<PAGE> 189
GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

sold is determined on a first-in, first-out basis, unless otherwise specified.
Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on
the accrual basis. Where a high level of uncertainty exists as to its
collection, income is recorded net of all withholding tax with any rebate
recorded when received. A Fund may trade securities on other than normal
settlement terms. This may increase the risk if the other party to the
transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to subsequently invest at less
advantageous prices.

(H) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-date. For the
Money Market Fund, dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net
investment income. The Variable Strategic Income Fund, Variable Global
Government Income Fund and Variable U.S. Government Income Fund declare and pay
dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly. The Variable Growth &
Income Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any,
quarterly. The Variable Latin America Fund, Variable Telecommunications Fund,
Variable New Pacific Fund, Variable Europe Fund, Variable Emerging Markets Fund,
Variable International Fund and Variable America Fund declare and pay dividends
from net investment income, if any, annually. With respect to each Fund,
dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and
paid annually.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of
income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund and timing
differences.

(I) TAXES

It is the policy of the Funds to continue to meet the requirements for
qualification as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"). It is also the intention of the Funds to make
distributions sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section
4982 of the Code. Therefore, no provision has been made for Federal taxes on
income, capital gains, and unrealized appreciation of securities held, or for
excise tax on income and capital gains. The following funds have capital loss
carryforwards:

12,288 2001
Variable Europe Fund 69,767 2002
</TABLE>

(J) DEFERRED ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES

Costs incurred by G.T. Global Variable Investment Series and Trust in connection
with their organization, which aggregated $125,333 and $188,000, respectively,
are being amortized on a straight-line basis for a five year period. While LGT
Asset Management has advanced certain of the Companies' organizational costs
incurred to date, the Companies may reimburse LGT Asset Management for the
amount of these advances. In the event that LGT Asset Management redeems any of
the initial 2,083.333 shares of each of the Variable New Pacific Fund, Variable
Europe Fund and Variable America Fund; or the initial 25,000 shares of the Money
Market Fund; or the initial 1,666.667 shares of each of the Variable Strategic
Income Fund, Variable Government Income Fund, Variable U.S. Government Income
Fund, Variable Latin America Fund and the Variable Growth & Income Fund; or the
initial 1.000 share of the Variable Telecommunications Fund, within the five
year amortization period, the respective Fund's unamortized organizational
expenses allocable to the shares redeemed will be deducted from LGT Asset
Management's redemption proceeds.

(K) FOREIGN SECURITIES

There are certain additional considerations and risks associated with investing
in foreign securities and currency transactions that are not inherent with
investments of domestic origin. The Funds' investments in emerging market
countries may involve greater risks than investments in more developed markets
and the price of such investments may be volatile. These risks of investing in
foreign and emerging markets may include foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations, perceived credit risk, adverse political and economic developments
and possible adverse foreign government intervention.

(L) INDEXED SECURITIES

The Funds may invest in indexed securities whose value is linked either directly
or indirectly to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, equities,
indices, or other reference instruments. Indexed securities may be more volatile
than the reference instrument itself, but any loss is limited to the amount of
the original investment.

(M) RESTRICTED SECURITIES

The Funds are permitted to invest in privately placed restricted securities.
These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to
the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may
involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an
acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period, restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues) are shown at the end of the Portfolio of
Investments.

NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

G.T. Global Variable Investment Series and G.T. Global Variable Investment Trust
("Companies") were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on May 26, 1992
and September 17, 1992, respectively. The Companies are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act") as open-end management
investment companies. The G.T. Global Variable Investment Series operates as a
series company currently issuing five classes of shares of beneficial interest:
GT Global Variable New Pacific Fund (formerly GT Global Variable Pacific Fund),
GT Global Variable Europe Fund, GT Global Variable America Fund, GT Global
Variable International Fund and GT Global Money Market Fund. G.T. Global
Variable Investment Trust operates as a series company currently issuing nine
classes of shares of beneficial interest: GT Global Variable Latin America Fund,
GT Global Variable Growth & Income Fund, GT Global Variable Strategic Income
Fund, GT Global Variable Global Government Income Fund, GT Global Variable U.S.
Government Income Fund, GT Global Variable Emerging Markets Fund, GT Global
Variable Telecommunications Fund, GT Global Variable Infrastructure Fund, and GT
Global Variable Natural Resources Fund. (The classes of shares of beneficial
interest for the two companies are referred to herein collectively as the
"Funds.") Each of the Funds is classified as a diversified management investment
company; except for GT Global Variable Latin America Fund, GT Global Variable
Growth & Income Fund, GT Global Variable Strategic Income Fund and GT Global
Variable Global Government Income Fund, which are each registered as a
non-diversified management investment company under the 1940 Act.

(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION

Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which
such securities are traded, or on the principal over-the-counter market in which
such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the
securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid
price. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the
securities are valued on the exchange determined by LGT Asset Management, Inc.
("LGT Asset Management") to be the primary market.

(B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations
arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

F-126
<PAGE> 258

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value
of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at period end,
resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(D) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A forward foreign currency contract ("Forward Contract") is an agreement between
two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The
market value of the Forward Contract fluctuates with changes in currency
exchange rates. The Forward Contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in
market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the
Forward Contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed. Forward Contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amounts shown in the Funds' "Statements of Assets and Liabilities." The Funds
could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of
the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably. The Funds may
enter into Forward Contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of
securities or to hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between
currencies.

(E) OPTION ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received
is included in the Fund's "Statement of Assets and Liabilities" as an asset and
an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently
marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. The current
market value of an option listed on a traded exchange is valued at its last bid
price, or, in the case of an over-the-counter option, is valued at the average
of the last bid prices obtained from brokers. If an option expires on its
stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction, a gain or loss is realized without regard to any unrealized gain or
loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is
extinguished. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized
from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are
increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is
exercised, the cost of the underlying security purchased would be decreased by
the premium originally received. A Fund can write options only on a covered
basis, which, for a call, requires that the Fund hold the underlying securities
and, for a put, requires the Fund to set aside cash, U.S. government securities
or other liquid, high grade debt securities in an amount not less than the
exercise price or otherwise provide adequate cover at all times while the put
option is outstanding. The Funds may use options to manage their exposure to the
stock or bond markets and to fluctuations in currency values or interest rates.

(F) FUTURES CONTRACTS

(G) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy
or sell is executed). The cost of securities sold is determined on a first-in,
first-out basis, unless otherwise

F-127
<PAGE> 259

GT GLOBAL VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS

specified. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Where a high level of uncertainty exists as to
its collection, income is recorded net of all withholding tax with any rebate
recorded when received. A Fund may trade securities on other than normal
settlement terms. This may increase the risk if the other party to the
transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to subsequently invest at less
advantageous prices.

(H) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-date. For the
Money Market Fund, dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net
investment income. The Variable Strategic Income Fund, Variable Global
Government Income Fund and Variable U.S. Government Income Fund declare and pay
dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly. The Variable Growth &
Income Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any,
quarterly. The Variable Latin America Fund, Variable Telecommunications Fund,
Variable New Pacific Fund, Variable Europe Fund, Variable Emerging Markets Fund,
Variable International Fund, Variable America Fund, Variable Infrastructure
Fund, and Variable Natural Resources Fund declare and pay dividends from net
investment income, if any, annually. With respect to each Fund, dividends from
net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually.

(J) DEFERRED ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES

(K) FOREIGN SECURITIES

There are certain additional considerations and risks associated with investing
in foreign securities and currency transactions that are not inherent in
investments of domestic origin. The Funds' investments in emerging market
countries may involve greater risks than investments in more developed markets
and the prices of such investments may be volatile. These risks of investing in
foreign and emerging markets may include foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations, perceived credit risk, adverse political and economic developments
and possible adverse foreign government intervention.
