income consistent with reduced market risk.

           SMALL CAP FUND seeks to provide capital appreciation through
investment in small market capitalization companies.

There is no assurance that the objective of each Fund will be realized. The
Company offers two classes of shares on behalf of each Fund: Class A shares and

(1) Pacific Advisors Fund Inc. reserves the right to impose an annual $10.00 fee
on accounts which have a share value of less than $1,000 on the last business
day at the end of a calendar year. The fee has been waived since inception, and
there is currently no intention to impose it. 

(2) A CDSC may apply to certain large redemptions of Fund shares. See
"REDEMPTIONS -- Contingent Deferred Sales Charge -- Class A Shares."

(3) The $5.00 Exchange Fee currently is being waived by Pacific Global Investor
Services, Inc. ("PGIS"), the Company's Transfer Agent.

   
(4) The Manager, Co-Manager and the Advisers have voluntarily entered into
Expense Limitation Agreements with each Fund, pursuant to which they may waive
their management and advisory fees, respectively, and/or absorb certain expenses
for each Fund for the current fiscal year, as follows. Pursuant to these
Agreements, the Manager currently (a) will waive its management fee and/or
absorb expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the total Fund Operating
Expenses of the Class A shares of the Government Securities Fund and the Income
and Equity Fund at 1.65% and 1.85%, respectively, of average net assets, and to
maintain the total Fund Operating Expenses of the Class C shares of those two
Funds at 2.40% and 2.60%, respectively, of average net assets, (b) will waive
its management fee for the Balanced Fund by 0.40% of average daily net assets,
and (c) will not waive its fee or absorb expenses of the Small Cap Fund. The
Co-Manager of the Income and Equity Fund also has agreed to waive its management
fee to the extent necessary to enable that Fund to meet the expense limitations
set forth above. PGIS has also agreed to waive the transfer agency fees on Class
C shares of the Government Securities and the Income and Equity Fund to the
extent necessary to enable those Funds to meet the expense limitations described
above. The Manager may discontinue or change these fee waiver and expense
reimbursement arrangements at any time upon 90 days notice to the relevant Fund.
In 1997 absent the voluntary waiver of fees and the assumption of expenses by
the Manager, and the Advisers, the management fees for the Government Securities
Fund, the Income and Equity Fund, the Balanced Fund and the Small Cap Fund would
have been 0.65%, 0.75%, 0.75%, and 0.75%, respectively, and the Other Expenses
for the Government Securities Fund, and the Income and Equity Fund would have
been 2.69% and 5.41%, respectively. For more information regarding the service
fees under the Rule 12b-1 Plan, see "DISTRIBUTION PLANS". For more information
about Fund expenses, see "EXPENSES".

(5) Rule 12b-1 fees are asset-based sales charges for distribution and
shareholders service expenses. The higher 12b-1 fees borne by Class C shares may
cause long-term shareholders to pay more than the economic equivalent of the
maximum permitted front-end sales charge on Class A shares. The Funds' 12b-1
fees have two components, as follows:

(6) Effective as of December 16, 1997, the Company adopted a plan under Rule
18f-3 of the 1940 Act establishing two classes of shares. Under this Rule 18f-3
plan, the Funds' then outstanding shares were redesignated as Class A shares and
a new class of Class C shares was established. The Rule 12b-1 fee expenses shown
in the Expense Table for the newly established Class C shares are the maximum
rates permitted under the Rule 18f-3 plan and the Rule 12b-1 plan for the Class
C shares. The other expenses for the Class C shares reflect the actual
historical expense ratios of the Funds, restated to reflect any differences in
the applicable expense limitations applicable to Class A and Class C shares. In
the absence of the voluntary waivers of fees and assumption of expenses by the
Manager, the Co-Manager, and the Advisers, it is estimated that the total
Operating Expense Ratios of the Class C shares of the Government Securities
Fund, the Income and Equity Fund, and the Balanced Fund would be 4.34%, 7.16%,
and 4.59%, respectively. For additional information concerning the respective
rights, obligations, and expenses of the Funds' two classes of shares, see "MORE
FACTS ABOUT THE COMPANY".
    


Examples: An investor in each Fund would pay the following expenses on a $1,000
investment, assuming (1) a 5% annual return and (2) a redemption at the end of
one year, three years, five years and ten years.

     The Expense Table and the Examples are provided to assist your
understanding of the various costs and expenses to which an investment in each
Fund is subject. The figures for the Class A shares of the Government Securities
Fund and the Income and Equity Fund shown reflect all of the fees and expenses
incurred by those two Funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997,
adjusted to reflect fee waivers and expense reimbursement during the year. The
figures for the Class A shares of the Balanced Fund reflect all of the fees and
expenses incurred by that Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997,
adjusted to reflect that Fund's current fee waiver arrangement, as described in
note (4) above. The figures for the Class A shares of the Small Cap Fund reflect
all of the fees and expenses incurred by that Fund for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997. The figures for the Class C shares for all of the Funds
reflect the figures for the Class A shares, restated to reflect the imposition
of a 1.00% Rule 12b-1 fee on Class C shares and the current fee waiver and
expense reimbursement arrangements described in note (4) above. Actual fees and
expenses for the current year may be greater or less than the estimates. For
more information regarding expenses see "MORE FACTS ABOUT THE COMPANY."
    

           THESE EXAMPLES SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR
FUTURE EXPENSES FOR EACH FUND. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN
THOSE SHOWN ABOVE. SIMILARLY, THE ANNUAL RATE OF RETURN OF 5% ASSUMED IN THE
EXAMPLES IS NOT AN ESTIMATE OR GUARANTEE OF FUTURE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE.

                              FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

   
           The following information, for the periods from February 8, 1993
(commencement of operations) to December 31, 1993 and for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1994, 1995,  1996 and 1997, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP,
the Company's independent auditors. The table below represents a condensed
financial history of the operations of the Class A shares of each Fund and
expresses the information in terms of a single share of each Fund outstanding
throughout the period. The table does not reflect the actual performance of the
newly created Class C shares. Because the Class C shares are subject to a
distribution fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), total
operating expenses for the Class C shares will be higher than for the Class A
shares. As a result, the performance of the Class C shares may be lower than
that of the Class A shares.

           This per share and other information should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and related notes included in the Funds' Annual
Reports to Shareholders, which, except for pages 1 through 2 thereof, are
incorporated by reference into the Company's Statement of Additional
Information. A copy of each Fund's Annual Report is available without charge.

THE FUNDS

           The Pacific Global Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation doing 
business as Pacific Advisors Fund Inc. (the "Company"), is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an open-end diversified management
investment company. The Company currently offers four Funds: Government
Securities Fund, Income and Equity Fund, Balanced Fund and Small Cap Fund. Also
see "Exchanges to Eligible Funds" for availability of exchanges at net asset
value to and from certain other eligible mutual funds ("Eligible Funds"). Each
Fund is a separate investment portfolio of the Company with a distinct
fundamental investment objective, investment program, policies, and
restrictions. Each Fund's investment objective may not be changed without the
approval of a majority of its shareholders. Each Fund is advised and managed by
Pacific Global Investment Management Company (the "Manager" or "Pacific
Global"), which supervises the day-to-day investment operations of each Fund.
The Manager and the Company, on behalf of the Government Securities Fund and
the Balanced Fund, have entered into sub-advisory agreements with registered
investment advisers (the "Adviser(s)"). Spectrum Asset Management, Inc.
("Spectrum") serves as Adviser to the Government Securities Fund. Hamilton &
Bache, Inc. ("Hamilton & Bache") serves as Adviser to the Balanced Fund. The
Manager serves as Adviser to the Small Cap Fund. The Company, on behalf of the
Income and Equity Fund, entered into a co-management agreement with the Manager
and Hamilton & Bache on August 1, 1997. Under the co-management agreement, the
Manager and Hamilton & Bache (the "Co-Manager") co-manage the investment and
reinvestment of the Fund's assets. The Manager remains solely responsible for
the administrative management of the Income and Equity Fund under its
Investment Management Agreement.

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND

           INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The Government Securities Fund seeks to
provide high current income, preservation of capital, and rising future income,
consistent with prudent investment risk.

           INVESTMENT PROGRAM. In seeking to achieve its objective, the Fund
will invest primarily (i.e., at least 65% of its total assets) in fixed-income
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies and
instrumentalities ("U.S. Government Securities"). The U.S. Government
Securities in which the Fund may invest include: (i) U.S. Treasury bills,
notes, and bonds, which are direct obligations of the U.S. Government; (ii)
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") mortgage-backed securities,
which are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by GNMA
and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury; (iii) securities
such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks and the Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), which are supported by the agency's right to
borrow money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances; and (iv)
securities such as those issued by the Farmers Home Administration, which are
supported only by the issuing agency's or instrumentality's credit.

           The Fund also will invest in high-grade fixed-income securities
issued by U.S. corporations, including convertible debt securities and
preferred stocks, and zero coupon bonds issued by agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government or by private corporations. High-grade
securities are rated within the three highest credit categories by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") or, if unrated,
are of comparable quality as determined by Spectrum, the Fund's Adviser. In
selecting such fixed-income securities, Spectrum focuses on building core
investments in areas of low risk and high intrinsic value. The

                                       8

<PAGE>   15



Fund's corporate bond investments emphasize short and intermediate-term issues
of domestic corporations that have strong or improving balance sheets.

           Spectrum will actively manage the Fund's portfolio maturity to
increase the Fund's total rate of return. The proportion of the Fund's assets
invested in long, intermediate, or short-term securities is expected to vary
depending on Spectrum's evaluation of market patterns and economic conditions.
When long term interest rates are declining, the Fund will increase its
investments in longer term bonds. Conversely, when long term interest rates are
rising, the Fund will decrease its investments in longer term bonds and
increase its investments in high quality money market securities and other
short term debt securities. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may
invest, without limitation, in high quality money market securities. The Fund
may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in other open-end investment
companies, in accordance with Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940. Such investment in other investment companies will take into
consideration the operating expenses and fees of those companies, including
advisory fees, as such expenses will reduce investment return.

           In addition, to enhance its income, the Fund will invest in
dividend-paying common stocks. In selecting such common stocks, the Fund
emphasizes companies with favorable prospects for rising dividend income.
Investments in equity securities may entail greater price volatility than
investments in high-grade fixed-income securities. However, to minimize such
exposure to greater volatility, the Fund's investments in equity securities
will generally be made in companies that have some of the following
characteristics: (i) established operating histories; (ii) strong or improving
balance sheets; and (iii) above average current dividend yields relative to the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Price Index ("S&P 500"). When the Fund invests
more than 25% of its total assets in dividend-paying common stocks, the Fund
will concentrate such investments in securities of issuers in the public
utilities industry. The securities of high quality public utilities are used by
Spectrum as substitutes for long term bonds. Concentration of investments in
this area are made when the current yield on U.S. Government 30-year bonds
declines 60 basis points (6/10 of 1%) from previous yield peaks for the period
of the last 50 trading days. Public utilities industry issuers include those
engaged in the manufacture, production, generation, transmission and sale of
gas, electric energy, and water and sanitary services, as well as issuers in
the communication field including telephone, telegraph, satellite, microwave,
and other companies providing communication facilities for the public benefit
(other than those in the public broadcasting industry). Investments in public
utilities industry securities may be affected by such factors as environmental
conditions, energy conservation programs, fuel shortages, and federal, state
and local legislative and regulatory actions.

           The common stocks in which the Fund invests generally will be listed
on a national securities exchange. The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its
total assets in common stocks and fixed-income securities of foreign issuers.
Investments in common stocks of foreign issuers will be made primarily through
the use of American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), although direct market
purchases also may be made.

           Each Fund's investment objective is to provide current income
consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital. In pursuing its
investment objective, each Fund may invest in certain types of securities that
have special risks which are described under "RISK FACTORS, OTHER INVESTMENT
PRACTICES, AND POLICIES OF THE FUNDS" of this prospectus and therefore, may not
be suitable for all investors. Each Fund may purchase securities on a
when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis, but not for
leverage (borrowing purposes). Generally, each Fund may invest in some or all
of the following: high-grade money

                                       9

market instruments with remaining maturities of 13 months or less, including
U.S. government securities, obligations of U.S. banks, commercial paper and
other short-term corporate obligations, corporate bonds and participation
interests or repurchase agreements involving any of the foregoing securities.
Each Fund may invest in obligations of banks, including foreign branches of
domestic banks and foreign and domestic branches of foreign banks. However,
each Fund does not intend to hedge its foreign currency risks and will engage
in currency exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis only at the spot
rate prevailing in the foreign exchange market. Investors should carefully
assess the risks associated with an investment in each Fund.


INCOME AND EQUITY FUND*

           INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.  The Income and Equity Fund seeks to provide 
current income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation.

           INVESTMENT PROGRAM. To achieve its objective, the Income and Equity
Fund will invest primarily (i.e., at least 65% of its total assets) in
fixed-income securities and income-producing equity and equity-related
securities. Under normal circumstances, it is expected that approximately 50%
of the Fund's total assets will be invested in fixed-income securities,
including U.S. Government Securities (such as those utilized by the Government
Securities Fund), corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed
securities, collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), convertible debt
securities, Liquid Yield Option Notes ("LYONS"), Preference Equity Redemption
Cumulative Stock ("PERCS") and zero-coupon bonds. The fixed-income securities
utilized by the Fund will be primarily investment-grade, i.e., rated within the
four highest credit categories by any NRSRO or, if unrated, are of comparable
quality as determined by the Fund's Manager and Co-Manager. In the event that
the ratings for investment grade securities held by the Fund fall below
investment grade, the Fund will not be obligated to dispose of such securities
if, in the opinion of the Fund's Manager and Co-Manager, such investment is
considered appropriate under the circumstances. No more than 5% of the Fund's
net assets will be invested or held in securities with ratings less than
investment-grade. The proportion of the Fund's assets invested in any
particular type of fixed-income security or in any maturity will vary depending
on the Manager's and Co-Manager's evaluation of market and economic conditions.

           The remainder of the Fund's assets will be invested in equity and
equity-related securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and
convertible equity securities. Such securities will be chosen largely for their
total return characteristics. In evaluating such securities for investment, the
Fund's Manager and Co-Manager may consider the following factors: (i)
above-average earning's growth potential; (ii) sound balance sheets and other
financial characteristics; (iii) quality of management; and (iv) growth of
dividends. While the majority of these equity investments will consist of
dividend-paying securities of established companies, the Fund may also invest
in certain equity securities that do not pay current dividends, but which offer
prospects for capital growth or future income.

           The equity securities in which the Fund invests may be listed on a
national securities exchange or traded in an established over-the-counter
("OTC") market. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in
equity and equity-related securities of foreign issuers. The Fund will invest
in such foreign equity securities primarily through the purchase of ADRs or
other similar securities. (See "RISK FACTORS, OTHER INVESTMENT PRACTICES, AND

                                       10

POLICIES OF THE FUNDS" of this prospectus for a more detailed description of
these investment practices and their risks.)

           The mix of bonds and stocks held by the Fund will vary from time to
time depending on the assessment of business, economic, and investment
conditions by the Fund's Manager and Co-Manager. However, fixed-income
securities can be expected to represent the majority of the Fund's total assets
as long as the general level of interest rates remains well in excess of
dividend yields available from common stocks.

           In addition to investing in fixed-income securities and
income-producing equity and equity-related securities, the Fund may also invest
in high-quality money market securities. For temporary defensive purposes, the
Fund may invest in such money market securities without limitation.

           Each Fund's investment objective is to provide current income
consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital. In pursuing its
investment objective, each Fund may invest in certain types of securities that
have special risks which are described under "RISK FACTORS, OTHER INVESTMENT
PRACTICES, AND POLICIES OF THE FUNDS" of this prospectus and therefore, may not
be suitable for all investors. Each Fund may purchase securities on a
when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis, but not for
leverage (borrowing purposes). Generally, each Fund may invest in some or all
of the following: high-grade money market instruments with remaining maturities
of 13 months or less, including U.S. government securities, obligations of U.S.
banks, commercial paper and other short-term corporate obligations, corporate
bonds and participation interests or repurchase agreements involving any of the
foregoing securities. Each Fund may invest in obligations of banks, including
foreign branches of domestic banks and foreign and domestic branches of foreign
banks. However, each Fund does not intend to hedge its foreign currency risks
and will engage in currency exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis
only at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign exchange market. Investors
should carefully assess the risks associated with an investment in each Fund.

           *    The Income and Equity Fund was formerly called the Income
                Fund. The name change more accurately reflects the Fund's
                continuing investment program.

BALANCED FUND

           INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.  The Balanced Fund seeks to achieve long-term 
capital appreciation and income consistent with reduced market risk.

           INVESTMENT PROGRAM. To achieve its objective, the Balanced Fund will
invest in a flexible combination of equity and equity-related securities,
investment-grade fixed-income securities, and high-quality money market
securities or money market funds. Hamilton & Bache will vary the composition of
the Fund's portfolio based on its evaluation of economic and market conditions,
price trends, and the anticipated returns available from each of the three
asset classes. Nevertheless, at least 25% of the Fund's total assets will be
invested at all times in fixed-income securities, including corporate debt
securities and preferred stocks.

           In selecting equity and equity-related investments for the Fund,
including common stocks and convertible preferred stocks, Hamilton & Bache will
consider all factors that it believes influence security prices. In particular,
it will evaluate the momentum in trends of security prices of individual
companies, industries, and the stock market in general. Hamilton & Bache

                                       11

also will analyze the fundamental values of both particular companies and
industries, including their financial soundness and future prospects. The
Fund's equity and equity-related investments will be primarily in medium and
large capitalization companies (i.e., companies having market capitalizations
in excess of $500 million).

           The fixed-income portion of the Fund will be invested in
investment-grade quality bonds, debentures or asset-backed securities. Under
normal conditions, the Fund also may invest up to 25% of its total assets in
high-quality money market securities and money market funds. Such bonds and
money market securities may include: U.S. Government Securities (such as those
used by the Government Securities Fund), corporate bonds, mortgage-backed
securities, convertible debt securities, and CMOs. When market conditions
warrant temporary or defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 60% of the
Fund's total assets in money market securities.

           The equity securities in which the Fund invests may be listed on a
national securities exchange or traded in an established OTC market. The Fund
may invest up to 20% of its total assets in equity and equity-related
securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest in such foreign equity
securities through the purchase of ADRs or other similar securities. (See "RISK
FACTORS, OTHER INVESTMENT PRACTICES, AND POLICIES OF THE FUNDS" for a more
detailed description of these investment practices and their risks.) The Fund
may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of other
investment companies, including closed-end investment companies, in accordance
with Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such investment
in other investment companies will take into consideration the operating
expenses and fees of these companies, including advisory fees, as such expenses
may reduce investment return.

           Each Fund's investment objective is to provide current income
consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital. In pursuing its
investment objective, each Fund may invest in certain types of securities that
have special risks which are described under "RISK FACTORS, OTHER INVESTMENT
PRACTICES, AND POLICIES OF THE FUNDS" of this prospectus and therefore, may not
be suitable for all investors. Each Fund may purchase securities on a
when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis, but not for
leverage (borrowing purposes). Generally, each Fund may invest in some or all
of the following: high-grade money market instruments with remaining maturities
of 13 months or less, including U.S. government securities, obligations of U.S.
banks, commercial paper and other short-term corporate obligations, corporate
bonds and participation interests or repurchase agreements involving any of the
foregoing securities. Each Fund may invest in obligations of banks, including
foreign branches of domestic banks and foreign and domestic branches of foreign
banks. However, each Fund does not intend to hedge its foreign currency risks
and will engage in currency exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis
only at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign exchange market. Investors
should carefully assess the risks associated with an investment in each Fund.


SMALL CAP FUND

           INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.  The Small Cap Fund seeks to provide capital 
appreciation through investment in small market capitalization companies.

           INVESTMENT PROGRAM. In seeking to achieve its objective, the Fund
will invest primarily (i.e., at least 65% of the Fund's total assets) in equity
and equity-related securities of small capitalization companies that are in an
early growth stage of their development. Such small

                                       12

<PAGE>   19



capitalization companies (i.e., companies with under $500 million in market
capitalization) are often referred to as emerging growth companies. In
selecting securities of such emerging growth companies for the Fund, Pacific
Global, the Fund's Adviser, focuses on companies it believes have unique
characteristics or proprietary advantages that may offer superior prospects for
above-average increases in revenue and earnings. The Fund will also purchase
securities of companies that (i) are in industries that Pacific Global believes
are less likely to be affected by cyclical changes in the economy and (ii) have
strong prospects for earnings growth. Pacific Global will continuously monitor
these emerging growth companies and their industries to make certain they
retain the characteristics that led to their initial selection, and to
determine whether to increase the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also
invest up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of other investment
companies, including closed-end investment companies, in accordance with
Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such investment in
other investment companies will take into consideration the operating expenses
and fees of those companies, including advisory fees, as such expenses may
reduce investment return.

           Under normal circumstances, the Fund will be primarily invested in
equity and equity-related securities of such emerging growth companies,
including: common stocks, preferred stocks, and securities convertible into or
exchangeable for common stocks. Such equity and equity-related securities will
be principally traded in the U.S. OTC securities market and, as such, primarily
NASDAQ traded securities. Up to 5% of the Fund's total assets may be invested
directly in foreign securities.

           While it is anticipated the Fund will invest principally in equity
and equity-related securities, the Fund also may invest in convertible
preferred stocks that pay above-average dividends and investment-grade
fixed-income securities provided such investments appear desirable in light of
the Fund's investment objective of capital appreciation. The Fund will not
continue to hold investment grade securities that have been down graded to
below investment grade. Convertible preferred stocks that pay above-average
dividends and long-term corporate bonds are considered by Pacific Global to
have capital appreciation potential. The fixed-income securities in which the
Fund may invest are generally expected to be long-term corporate bonds having
an average portfolio maturity of between 10 and 15 years, which have the
potential to provide capital appreciation. When, in the judgment of Pacific
Global, a temporary defensive posture is appropriate, the Fund may invest,
without limitation, in high-quality money market securities. (See "RISK
FACTORS, OTHER INVESTMENT PRACTICES, AND POLICIES OF THE FUNDS" for a more
detailed description of fixed income securities.)

           While the companies in which the Fund invests may offer greater
opportunity for capital appreciation than larger, more established companies,
investment in small capitalization companies generally will involve greater
risks. For example, such small capitalization companies may have limited
product lines, markets, or financial and management resources. In addition,
many OTC stocks trade less frequently and in a smaller volume than
exchange-traded stocks. The securities of companies traded in the OTC
securities market also may be more sensitive to market changes than the
securities of exchange-traded companies. In addition, while it is the policy of
the Fund not to invest in securities of companies with no operating history,
the Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of companies
with an operating history of less than three years. Investments in the
securities of such unseasoned companies may involve a higher degree of risk
than investments in securities of companies with longer operating histories.
The Fund is appropriate only for investors who can afford the risks described
above that apply to investments in small capitalization companies.

minimum investment requirement for Class A shares, but this policy could change.
Currently, the minimum initial investment in Class C shares is $10,000, and the
minimum for subsequent investments in Class C shares is $500. You may diversify
your own portfolio by choosing a combination of the Funds for your investment
program. You should be aware that the Company reserves the right to impose an
annual $10.00 fee on accounts which have a share value of less than $1,000 on
the last business day at the end of each calendar year. The fee has been waived
since inception, and there is currently no intention to impose it.

<PAGE>   24


           CLASS A SHARES.

           Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which (as used in 
this Prospectus) is the net asset value per share plus an applicable front-end
sales charge. Certain purchases of Class A shares, described below, are not
subject to the front-end sales charge. The sales charge on Class A shares may
also be reduced if you meet certain conditions (see "REDUCING YOUR SALES
CHARGES -- CLASS A SHARES").

           CLASS C SHARES.

           The public offering price of Class C shares is the next determined
net asset value per share. No front-end sales charge is imposed. However, Class
C shares sold within one year of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge of 1% of the offering price or the net asset value of the shares
at the time of sale, whichever is less.

SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENTS

           You may make subsequent purchases of shares of the Funds through
your Authorized Dealer or by sending it directly to the Distributor. There is
no minimum amount for subsequent purchases of Class A shares. As noted above,
there is a $500 minimum for subsequent purchases of Class C shares.

           Orders to purchase shares are effective on the business day PGIS
receives your check.

           BY WIRE. You may make a subsequent investment in the Funds by wiring
monies. To do so:

           CONDITIONS OF YOUR PURCHASE. The Company and the Distributor each
reserves the right to reject any purchase for any reason and to cancel any
purchase due to nonpayment. Share purchases are not binding on the Company or
the Distributor until they are confirmed by PGIS as paid. All purchases must be
made in U.S. dollars and all checks must be drawn on U.S. banks. No cash will

account is required to be redeemed), you will be charged a fee of $25.00. In
addition, you will be responsible for any related losses the Fund(s) incurs.

           SHARE PRICE -- CLASS A SHARES. Class A shares of each Fund will be
priced at the net asset value per share (plus any applicable sales charge, as
detailed below) next calculated after your purchase order as described above has
been received by PGIS. In order to receive that day's net asset value on shares
purchased through an Authorized Dealer, the dealer must receive your order
before the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and, in
most instances, transmit it to PGIS by 4:00 p.m. New York time. As described
below, however, orders placed with certain Authorized Dealers or their designees
will be deemed to have been received by PGIS when the order is accepted by that
Authorized Dealer or its designee. See "PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS THROUGH
CERTAIN AUTHORIZED DEALERS". Current sales charges and dealer concessions are:

</TABLE>

*    The amount reallowed to dealers is shown as a percentage of the offering
price. Under certain circumstances, commissions up to the full amount of the
sales charge may be reallowed to Authorized Dealers. Dealers that receive 90%
or more of the sales load may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities
Act of 1933. Additionally the Distributor may use payments under the
Distribution Plan or its own resources to provide additional compensation in
the form of promotional merchandise, marketing support, travel or other
incentive programs. See "CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE -- CLASS A SHARES."

**   On purchases by a "Single Purchaser" (defined below in "RIGHT OF
ACCUMULATION") aggregating $1 million or more, the Distributor will pay
Authorized Dealers an amount equal to 1% of the first $2 million of such
purchases, plus .50% of the next $1 million, plus .20% of the next $1 million,
plus .03% of the portion of such purchases in excess of $4 million. The
Distributor also may, from time to time, enter into arrangements with specific
Authorized Dealers whereby the Distributor may make additional payments to that
dealer, based in part, on that dealer meeting certain sales criteria.

SHARE PRICE -- CLASS C SHARES

     Class C shares of each Fund will be priced at the net asset value per
share next calculated after your purchase order has been received in proper
form by PGIS. In order to receive that day's net asset value on shares
purchased through an Authorized Dealer, the dealer must receive your order
before the close of business on the NYSE and, in most instances, transmit it to
PGIS by 4:00 p.m. New York time. As described below, however, orders placed
with certain Authorized Dealers or their designees will be deemed to have been
received by PGIS when the order is accepted by that Authorized Dealer or its
designee. See "PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS THROUGH CERTAIN AUTHORIZED DEALERS".
Investors do not pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class C shares, but
the ongoing expense of Class C shares are higher than those of Class A shares
as a result of the Class C shares' higher Rule 12b-1 fees. A contingent
deferred sale charge of 1% of the offering price (net asset value at the time
of purchase) or the net asset value of the shares at time of sale by the
shareholder, whichever is less, is charged on sales of Class C shares made
within one year of the purchase date.

REDUCING YOUR SALES CHARGE -- CLASS A SHARES

     The sales charge you pay on Class A shares is affected by the size of your
total investment in the Funds as shown in the table above. There are various
methods that qualify to increase the size of your investment and thereby reduce
the applicable sales charge. Certain categories of Fund purchases also will be
made at net asset value, as described below.

     SINGLE PURCHASER. The size of investment shown in the above table applies
to the total amount being invested by any "Single Purchaser" in Class A shares
of the Funds and Shares of Eligible Funds that have a first-end sales charge at
any one time. A "Single Purchaser," eligible for a

                                       19

<PAGE>   26


discount based on combining purchases, includes: (1) an individual; (2) an
individual and the members of his or her family (limited to the spouse and minor
children); or (3) a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing for a single fiduciary
account or trust estate, including employee benefit plans created under Section
401 of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as related plans of the same employer.
When you invest in Class A shares of the Funds for several accounts at the same
time, you may combine these investments to reduce the applicable sales charge,
provided that PGIS is notified at the time of purchase.

     To qualify for a reduced sales charge, you may combine concurrent purchases
of Class A shares of two or more Funds, including shares of Eligible Funds that
have a front-end sales charge. For example, if you concurrently invest $25,000
in Class A shares of one Fund and $25,000 in Class A shares of another, the
sales charge would be reduced to reflect a $50,000 purchase. Remember, PGIS must
be notified in writing of your intent to make a concurrent purchase at the time
of purchase.

     RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION. You may reduce the sales charge by combining the
amount being invested in Class A shares of any Fund with certain previous
purchases of Class A shares of any of the Funds and the Eligible Funds by any
"Single Purchaser" as described above. However, the cumulative purchase discount
does not apply to direct purchases of shares of the Reserve Fund Portfolios.
Your Class A shares in any Fund and any Eligible Fund that has a front-end sales
charge previously purchased will be taken into account on a combined basis at
the current net asset value per share of each appropriate Fund in order to
establish the aggregate investment amount to be used in determining the
applicable sales charge. Only previous purchases of Class A shares of the Funds
and other Eligible Funds that were sold subject to a front-end sales charge and
that are still held in one of the Funds or Eligible Funds will be included in
the calculation. PGIS must be notified at the time your order is placed, and
when each subsequent order is placed, that such purchases should be combined.
When your payment is sent to PGIS, all accounts to be included under "Right of
Accumulation" must be specified by account number.


     LETTER OF INTENT. The Letter of Intent provides an opportunity for you (or
any Single Purchaser as described above) to reduce your sales charge on Class A
shares by permitting you to aggregate your investments in qualifying accounts to
be included over a thirteen-month period. The initial purchase of Class A shares
must be at least 5% of the stated investment goal. When a Letter of Intent is
submitted to PGIS, each investment made during the thirteen-month period in
Class A shares of any Fund or shares of any Eligible Fund that has a front-end
sales charge will receive the sales charge applicable to the total amount of the
investment goal indicated in your Letter of Intent. Class A shares equal to the
dollar amount of the maximum sales load applicable to the Fund(s) or Eligible
Fund(s) invested in will be held in escrow by PGIS until the total stated
investment goal qualifying for a reduced sales load has been satisfied or it
will be applied to pay the applicable sales load. Each payment sent directly to
the transfer agent must indicate that a Letter of Intent is on file along with
all account numbers for each Fund or Eligible Fund associated with the Letter of
Intent. The Letter of Intent may apply to purchases made up to 90 days before
PGIS receives and accepts it. To take advantage of this opportunity to reduce
your sales charge, you must first complete a Letter of Intent and submit it to
PGIS for its approval.

     NET ASSET VALUE PURCHASES. The sales charge on Class A shares of the funds
will not apply to the following categories: (1) shares bought through the
reinvestment of your dividends and capital gains distributions; (2) purchases by
directors, officers, or bonafide employees of the Company, the Manager, the
Advisers, the Distributor, the Transfer Agent, and by members of their immediate
families; (3) purchases by clients of the Manager; (4) purchases by registered
investment advisers for their counsel accounts; (5) purchases by registered
representatives and other employees of Authorized Dealers and by members of
their immediate families; provided, always, that with respect to categories (1)
through (5): (a) any such share order in the Funds shall originate with the
member of the category thus qualified; (b) no sales effort shall be required in
connection with such purchase; (c) the purchaser shall satisfactorily establish
his or her employment or immediate relationship upon request, and (d) the
purchaser shall undertake that any such purchase is for investment purposes only
and the securities purchased will not be resold except to that Fund; and (6)
accounts opened for shareholders by dealers where the amounts invested represent
the redemption proceeds from investment companies distributed by an entity other
than the Distributor, if such redemption has occurred no more than 60 days prior
to the purchase of shares of the Fund and the shareholder paid an initial sales
charge.

     In addition, purchases of Class A shares may be made at net asset value by
the following "Other Purchasers": (1) investment advisers or financial planners
who place trades for their own accounts or the accounts of their clients and who
charge a management, consulting or other fee for their services; (2) clients of
such investment advisers or financial planners who place trades for their own
accounts if their accounts are linked to the master account of such investment
adviser or financial planner on the books and records of the broker or agent;
and (3) retirement and deferred compensation plans and trusts used to fund those
plans, including, but not limited to, those defined in Section 401(a), 403(b) or
457 of the Internal Revenue Code and "rabbi trusts." You should be aware that
you may be charged a fee if you effect transactions in Fund shares through a
broker or agent.

     Class A shares are offered at net asset value to such Single Purchasers and
Other Purchasers because of anticipated economies in sales efforts and sales
related expenses. The Company may terminate, or amend the terms of, the offering
of Class A shares of the Funds at net asset value to such Single Purchasers at
any time. Also see "SHAREHOLDER SERVICES."


                              SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

EXCHANGES OF SHARES

     EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE. You may exchange shares into other Funds, including the
Eligible Funds. However, Class A shares of a Fund may be exchanged only for
Class A shares of the other Funds, shares of the Reserve Fund Portfolios, and
shares of other Eligible Funds subject to a front-end sales charge. Class C
shares of a Fund may be exchanged only for Class C shares of the other Funds,
shares of the Reserve Fund Portfolios, and shares of other Eligible Funds that
may become available by Distributors arrangement for exchanges with Class C
shares. Exchange redemptions and purchases are processed simultaneously at the
share prices next determined after the exchange order is received in proper
form, as noted below. An exchange may be made by mail or by telephone. A $5.00
service fee applies to each exchange, but is currently being waived by Pacific
Global Investor Services, Inc., the Company's Transfer Agent.


                                       21

<PAGE>   28



     BY MAIL: Proper form for an exchange by mail requires a written request to
PGIS properly signed by all registered owners indicating the Fund name, account
number, and shares or dollar amount to be transferred into which Fund.

     BY TELEPHONE: If you accepted telephone exchange privileges, you or your
dealer representative may telephone your exchange instructions to PGIS. Proper
form for an exchange by telephone requires identification by shareholder social
security number or other personal identification, the Fund name, account number
and shares or dollar amount to be transferred into which Fund. See "TELEPHONE
EXCHANGES AND REDEMPTIONS," below.

     OTHER INFORMATION. No sales charge applies to exchanges, except certain
exchanges involving the shares of the Reserve Fund. Exchanges of shares from
Reserve Fund Portfolios for Class A shares are subject to applicable sales 
charges on the Fund being purchased, unless those Reserve Fund Portfolios shares
were acquired by an exchange from a Class A shares or shares of an Eligible Fund
to which a front-end sales charge applied, or by reinvestment of dividends or
capital gain distributions on such Reserve Fund Portfolio shares.

     The following conditions must be met for all exchanges: (1) shares of the
Fund selected for exchange are available for sale in the shareholder's state of
residence; (2) the respective prospectuses of the funds whose shares are to be
exchanged and acquired also offer the Exchange Privilege to the investor; (3)
newly-purchased (by initial or subsequent investment) shares are held in an
account for at least 15 days and all other shares at least one day prior to the
exchange. In addition to the conditions stated above, shares of Eligible Funds
may be exchanged for shares of Reserve Fund Portfolios; shares of Reserve Fund
Portfolios purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged for Class A shares
of the Funds and Eligible Funds offered with a sales charge upon payment of the
sales charge or, if applicable, may be used to purchase Class C shares of the
Funds or shares of Eligible Funds subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
("CDSC"); and Class A shares of the Funds acquired by reinvestment of dividends
or distributions from any Eligible Funds may be exchanged at net asset value for
shares of any Eligible Fund. No CDSC is imposed on exchanges of shares of a Fund
subject to a CDSC for shares of another Fund or for shares of Eligible Funds. 
However, the shares so acquired will continue to be subject to a CDSC on the
terms and for the period applicable to the exchanged shares. (see "Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge -- Class A Shares" and "Contingent Deferred Sales 
Charge -- Class C Shares").

     The Fund may modify, suspend or discontinue the exchange privileges at any
time, and will do so on 60 days' notice, if such notice is required by
regulations adopted under the 1940 Act. The notice period may be shorter if
applicable law permits. Shareholders who had exchanged into the Eligible Funds
generally would be permitted to reacquire shares of the Funds without sales
charge for at least 60 days after notice of termination. The Fund reserves the
right to reject telephone or written requests submitted in bulk on behalf of 10
or more accounts. Telephone and written exchange requests must be received by
PGIS by 4:00 p.m., New York time, on a regular business day to take effect that
day. The number of shares exchanged may be less than the number requested if
the number requested would include shares subject to a restriction cited above
or shares covered by a certificate that is not tendered with such request. Only
the shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.


                                       22

<PAGE>   29

     Shares to be exchanged are redeemed on the business day PGIS receives an
exchange request in proper form (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of
the Fund to be acquired are purchased on the Redemption Date, but such
purchases may be delayed by either Fund up to five business days if it
determines that it would be disadvantaged by an immediate transfer of the
redemption proceeds. A Fund in its discretion reserves the right to refuse any
exchange request that will disadvantage it, such as an exchange that would
cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities in such quantities and at such time
that would result in significant losses to a Fund.


     EXCHANGES TO ELIGIBLE FUNDS. The Distributor has arranged for shares of
the Reserve Fund Portfolios to be available in exchange for either Class A or
Class C shares of the Funds. The Distributor may arrange for other funds to
become Eligible Funds. The exchange privilege to the Eligible Funds does not
constitute an offering or recommendation of the shares of any Eligible Fund by
the Company or the Manager. Each Eligible Fund's administrator may compensate
the Distributor for administrative services it performs with respect to that
Eligible Fund. The compensation is based on the average daily net asset value of
shares of the Eligible Funds acquired through the exchange privilege. The
Transfer Agent may perform services for the Distributor in connection with
exchanges between the Funds and the Eligible Funds.

     The Eligible Funds have different investment objectives and policies. For
more information, including any charges and expenses, a prospectus of the
Eligible Fund into which the exchange is being made should be read prior to an
exchange. Dealers or brokers who process exchange orders on behalf of customers
may charge a fee for their services. Those charges may be avoided by making the
request directly to the Funds to exchange shares. For Federal tax purposes, an
exchange is treated as a redemption and purchase of shares.


ADDITIONAL SERVICES

     AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. You may make regular monthly investments through
automatic withdrawals from your bank account. Your monthly investment amount
must be at least $25 to purchase Class A shares and $100 to purchase Class C
shares. Once a plan is established, your bank account will normally be debited
by the 5th or 20th day of the month.

     AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT. Dividends and capital gain distributions on Fund
shares are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same Class of
shares of the same Fund at no sales charge, unless you indicate otherwise on the
account application. You also may elect to have dividends and/or capital gain
distributions paid in cash or reinvested in the Eligible Funds.

     ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. A statement of all account activity will be sent to
you after the end of each calendar quarter. Transactions in your account, such
as additional investments and dividend reinvestments, will be reflected on
regular confirmation statements.

     PACIFIC ADVISORS FUNDSPHONE. You may check your share balance, the price
of your shares, and your most recent account transaction between 7:00 a.m. and
4:00 p.m. Pacific time with Pacific Advisors FundsPhone. To use this service,
call 1-800-282-6693 from a TouchTone

                                       23

<PAGE>   30



telephone. You will need your Fund number, personal identification number (the
last four digits of your Social Security number or other tax identification
number associated with your account) and account number.

     AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLANS. With a minimum account value of $10,000 you
may establish an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. The proceeds from scheduled
redemptions of shares are automatically transferred to your pre-designated bank
account on either the 15th or the 30th of each month. Payments are in equal
dollar amounts and must be at least $25. All dividends and distributions on
shares under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan must be reinvested in additional Fund
shares.

     You may establish an Insurance Premium Automatic Withdrawal Plan ("IP
Withdrawal Plan") to fund the scheduled payment of premiums for certain
eligible insurance policies. You must have a minimum account value of $5,000 to
establish an IP Withdrawal Plan. The proceeds from your scheduled redemptions
to fund the premium payments will be transmitted to your insurance company as
instructed on your IP Withdrawal Plan Authorization Form. Your insurance
company may establish other conditions affecting your required investment in
the Fund. Applicable forms and further information regarding the IP Withdrawal
Plan are available from your Authorized Dealer or PGIS.

     Generally, it may not be advisable to purchase additional Class A shares
and incur a sales charge when you are participating in an Automatic Withdrawal
Plan. Investors also should consider that automatic withdrawals from relatively
active portfolios entail the risk that the automatic redemptions may occur at a
time when net asset value of the portfolio has fluctuated downward.


REDEMPTIONS

     STANDARD PROCEDURES. To redeem some or all of your shares in a Fund,
generally you must send the Company a signed written request that specifies the
account number and either the dollar amount or the number of shares to be
redeemed, and include any share certificates. The Company may require additional
documentation for redemptions by business entities and organizations or by a
single purchaser such as a trustee or guardian. Similar procedures apply to
exchanges between the Funds and the Eligible Funds. See "TELEPHONE EXCHANGES AND
REDEMPTION" and "SIGNATURES AND SIGNATURE GUARANTEES," below.

     WIRE TRANSFERS OF REDEMPTION PROCEEDS. For the protection of shareholders
and the Company, wire transfer instructions must be on file prior to executing
any request for the wire transfer of redemption proceeds. A shareholder may
change the bank account previously designated by written request, which must
include appropriate signature guarantees, a copy of any applicable corporate
resolution, or other relevant documentation.

     CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE--CLASS A SHARES. A contingent deferred
sales charge ("CDSC") will be deducted from your redemption proceeds of Class A
shares purchased in amounts aggregating $1 million or more if they are redeemed
within 18 months of the end of the calendar month of their


                                       24

<PAGE>   31
purchase, in an amount equal to 1% of the lesser of the aggregate net asset
value of the redeemed shares (not including shares purchased by reinvestment of
dividends or distributions) or the original cost of such shares. However, the
total CDSC paid on such shares shall not exceed the aggregate commissions paid
to dealers on all Class A shares of the Funds purchased subject to a CDSC by any
"Single Purchaser" (as defined in "REDUCING YOUR SALES CHARGE"). The CDSC does
not apply to purchases described in "Net Asset Value Purchases" and will be
waived in the case of redemptions of Class A shares made for: (1) retirement
distributions (or loans) to participants or beneficiaries from retirement plans
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, or from IRAs, or
other employee benefit plans; (2) returns of excess contributions to such
retirement or employee benefit plans; (3) Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments
limited to no more than 12% of the original account value annually; and (4)
involuntary redemptions of Class A shares by operation of law or under
procedures set forth in the Fund's Articles of Incorporation or as adopted by
the Board of Directors.

     Class A shares on which a CDSC was paid at the time of redemption and 
which are subsequently reinvested under the "Reinvestment Privilege" will be
credited with payment of the CDSC on such reinvestment if identified by the
shareholder at the time of reinvestment. Additionally, no CDSC is charged on
exchanges, pursuant to the Fund's "Exchanges to Eligible Funds," of Class A Fund
shares purchased subject to a CDSC, except that if the shares acquired by
exchange are redeemed within 18 months of the end of the calendar month of the
initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the CDSC will apply. In
determining whether a CDSC is payable, and the amount of any such CDSC, Class A
shares not subject to a CDSC are redeemed first, including Class A shares
purchased by reinvestment of dividends and distributions, and then other Class A
shares are redeemed in the order of purchase.

     REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE. In addition, you may reinvest, in a Fund from
which you redeemed or any Eligible Fund, the proceeds of a full or partial
redemption of your Class A Fund shares without payment of a sales charge upon
such reinvestment where (1) the reinvestment in Class A is effected within 60
days of the prior redemption, (2) the amount reinvested does not exceed your
redemption proceeds, (3) such reinvestment privilege has not been previously
utilized by you in the current calendar year and (4) you notify the Transfer
Agent for the applicable Fund that you are entitled to reinvest your redemption
proceeds in the particular Fund at that Fund's net asset value per share next
determined after receipt of such request. If you qualify for a no sales charge
purchase, please contact PGIS for details and appropriate forms.

SIGNATURES AND SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

     The signature on a redemption or exchange request must be exactly as shown
on the Application. In the interest of safety, signature guarantees are required
for certain transactions. If redemption proceeds are in excess of $50,000 or are
to be sent to someone other than the registered shareholder or to other than the
registered address or if the transaction is an exchange of shares, a signature
guarantee is required. A guarantor must be: (i) a bank; (ii) a securities broker
or dealer, including a government or municipal securities broker or dealer, that
is a member of a clearing corporation or has net capital of at least $100,000;
(iii) a credit union



                                       25
<PAGE>   32



having authority to issue signature guarantees; (iv) a savings and loan
association, a building and loan association, a cooperative bank, a federal
savings bank or association; or (v) a national securities exchange, a
registered securities exchange or a clearing agency. Notary publics are not
acceptable guarantors.


TELEPHONE EXCHANGES AND REDEMPTIONS

     EXCHANGES. To place a telephone exchange request, call PGIS at
1-800-282-6693. Telephone exchange calls may be recorded by PGIS. By exchanging
shares by telephone, the shareholder is acknowledging receipt of a Prospectus
of the Fund or Eligible Fund to which the exchange is made and for full or
partial exchanges, the terms of any special account features. Automatic
Withdrawal Plans and retirement plan contributions will be transferred to the
new account unless PGIS is otherwise instructed. Telephone exchange privileges
automatically apply to each shareholder of record and the dealer representative
of record unless and until PGIS receives written instructions from a
shareholder of record canceling such privileges. PGIS and the Funds will not be
responsible for the authenticity of telephone instructions nor for any loss,
damage, cost or expense arising out of any telephone instructions that PGIS
reasonably believes to be authentic based on its verification procedures. Such
procedures may include requiring certain personal identification information
prior to acting on telephone instructions, tape recording telephone
communications, and providing written confirmation of instructions communicated
by telephone. If PGIS does not employ reasonable verification procedures to
confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine, it may be
liable for any losses arising out of any action on its part or any failure or
omission to act as a result of its own negligence, lack of good faith, or
willful misconduct. Shares acquired by telephone exchange must be registered
exactly as the account from which the exchange was made. Certificated shares
are not eligible for telephone exchange. If all telephone exchange lines are
busy (which might occur, for example, during periods of substantial market
fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request telephone exchanges
and would have to submit written exchange requests.


     REDEMPTIONS. The Funds permit shareholders or their dealer representatives
to redeem shares by telephone. The proceeds will be mailed to your registered
address or wired to your predesignated bank account. The Company's procedures
and any limitations are designed to minimize unauthorized exercise of the
privilege.

     To redeem shares by telephone, call PGIS at 1-800-282-6693. PGIS may
record any calls. Telephone redemptions may not be available if all lines are
busy, and shareholders would have to use the Funds' regular redemption
procedures. Requests received by PGIS prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, on a
regular business day will be processed at the net asset value per share
determined that day. These privileges are not available for newly purchased
shares (within the prior 15 days), shares for UMB Bank, N.A.-sponsored
retirement plans, or for shares represented by share certificates. Telephone
redemption privileges apply automatically to each shareholder and the dealer
representative of record unless PGIS receives cancellation instructions from a
shareholder of record. If an account has multiple owners, PGIS may rely on the
instructions of any one owner. PGIS and the Fund will not be responsible for any
loss, damage, cost or expense arising out of any telephone instructions for an
account that PGIS reasonably believes to be authentic, based on its procedures
for verification.

                                       26

<PAGE>   33


     For redemptions paid by check, amounts up to $25,000 may be redeemed by
telephone, once in each 30-day period. The check must be payable to the
shareholder(s) of record and sent to the address of record for the account. This
privilege is not available if the address of record has been changed within 30
days of a telephone redemption request. Shares held in corporate-type retirement
plans for which UMB Bank, N.A. serves as trustee may not be redeemed by
telephone, telex, fax or telegraph.

          PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS THROUGH CERTAIN AUTHORIZED DEALERS

     The Company has authorized one or more brokers to accept on its behalf
purchase and redemption orders. These brokers are authorized to designate
other intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on the Company's
behalf. PGIS will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order
placed with certain of these brokers or designees when the authorized broker
or, if applicable, its authorized designee, accepts the order. The order will
be priced at the relevant Fund's net asset value per share next computed after
the order is accepted by the authorized broker or the authorized broker's
designee. Orders placed with other Authorized Dealers, however, are not
effective until received by PGIS. These Authorized Dealers may require that you
place your order no later than a specified time before 4:00 p.m. New York time,
so that your order can be transmitted to PGIS by 4:00 p.m. New York Time and
receive that day's price. You should be aware that you may be charged a fee if
you effect transactions in Fund shares through an Authorized Dealer or an
Authorized Dealer's designee.


                                RETIREMENT PLANS

     Fund shares are available in connection with tax benefitted retirement
plans established under Sections 401(a) and 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
("Code"), IRAs and SEP-IRAs under Section 408 of the Code, and corporate
sponsored profit-sharing plans. Various initial, annual maintenance and
participant fees may apply to these retirement plans. Applicable forms and
information regarding plan administration, all fees, and other plan provisions
are available from your Authorized Dealer or PGIS.


                              OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL

     The purchase, exchange, and redemption price for Class A and Class C shares
is the net asset value (plus any applicable sales charge, if any) per share next
determined after receipt by the Company of an order and payment in proper form
under the Company's Trade Date Procedures. Purchase, exchange, and redemption
orders placed through certain Authorized Dealers or their designees are deemed
to have been received by the Company when accepted by that Authorized Dealer or
its designees. See "PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS THROUGH CERTAIN AUTHORIZED
DEALERS"; "Trade Date Procedures" in the Statement of Additional Information.
Dealers and brokers who process orders for purchases, redemptions, and exchanges
on behalf of their customers may charge a transaction fee for their services.
The Company reserves the right to reject any purchase order or to suspend or
modify the offering of its shares. Requests for the redemption of shares are
considered received when all required information and signature guarantees have
been provided. The right of redemption may be suspended under unusual
circumstances, as permitted by law. If shares were purchased by check, proceeds
may be delayed until the check has been honored, but in no event more than 15
calendar days from the date of receipt of the check.


CERTIFICATES

     In the interest of economy and efficiency, the Company does not issue
stock certificates unless specifically requested in writing by the shareholders
or their dealers. Shareholders of uncertificated shares have the same ownership
rights as if certificates had been issued. Shares are not transferable.

     At your written request, the Funds will issue stock certificates. Unless
your shares are purchased with wired funds, a certificate will not be issued
until 30 days have elapsed from the

                                       27

<PAGE>   34



time of purchase, or the Funds have satisfactory proof of payment, such as a
copy of your canceled check. Certificates will not be issued for fewer than 100
shares.


NET ASSET VALUE

     Net asset value is determined separately for each Class and is determined
by subtracting from the value of the assets of each Fund the amount of its
liabilities, and dividing the remainder by the number of outstanding shares of
that Fund. For valuation purposes, quotations of foreign securities in a foreign
currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents. The Board of Directors has
fixed the specific time of day for the computation of the net asset value of all
the Funds to be as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, once daily on business days.
Business days are days when the NYSE is open for regular trading.


     Fund securities are valued based on market quotations or, if such
quotations are not readily available, at fair market value as determined in
good faith under procedures established by the Company's Board of Directors. In
accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Directors, a pricing
service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters may be used to
perform the above-described valuation functions.


DISTRIBUTIONS

     Dividends and distributions of each Fund are paid in additional shares of
the Fund unless the Company is notified, in writing, that the shareholder
elects to receive such dividends and distributions in cash.

     The Government Securities Fund and the Income and Equity Fund will declare
and distribute dividends of their net investment income, if any, quarterly. The
Balanced Fund and Small Cap Fund will declare and distribute dividends of their
net investment income, if any, annually.
Each Fund will distribute capital gain net income annually.


TAXES

     The following discussion is only a brief summary of some of the important
tax considerations affecting the Company, its Funds, and its shareholders. For
further tax-related information, see "Taxes" in the Statement of Additional
Information. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of all
federal, state, and local income tax considerations, and this discussion and
that in the Statement of Additional Information are not intended as a
substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors are urged
to consult their own tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax
situation.

     TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE FUNDS. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity
for federal income tax purposes, and thus the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to

                                       28

<PAGE>   35



regulated investment companies generally (subchapter M of the Code) are applied
to each Fund separately, rather than to the Company as a whole. Each Fund
intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under subchapter M. If so
qualified, each Fund is not subject to federal income taxes with respect to net
investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, that are distributed
to its shareholders, provided that the Fund distributes each year at least 90%
of its net investment income, and meets certain other requirements set forth in
the Code. Each Fund would be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on such
Fund's taxable income to the extent such Fund did not meet certain distribution
requirements by the end of each calendar year. Each Fund intends to make
sufficient distributions to avoid application of this excise tax.

     TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. All dividends and distributions are
subject to taxes (except for shareholders exempt from income tax) whether
received in cash or reinvested in additional shares. For federal and state
income tax purposes, an exchange is treated as a sale and may result in a
capital gain or loss, although if the shares exchanged have been held less than
91 days, the sales charge paid on such shares is not included in the tax basis
of the exchanged shares, but is carried over and included in the tax basis of
the shares acquired.

     BACKUP WITHHOLDING. Each Fund is required by federal law to withhold 31%
of reportable payments (which payments may include income dividends, capital
gains distributions, and share redemption proceeds) paid to shareholders who
have not complied with IRS regulations. In order to avoid this withholding
requirement, you must certify on your Application, or on a separate W-9 Form
supplied by PGIS, that your Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number
is correct (or that you have applied for such a number and are waiting for it
to be issued) and that you are not currently subject to backup withholding, or
you are exempt from backup withholding.


                       PERFORMANCE AND YIELD INFORMATION


     From time to time a Fund may publish its yield and/or average annual total
return in its advertising, marketing material and communications to
shareholders. The yield of a Fund will be calculated by dividing the net
investment income per share during a recent 30-day period by the maximum
offering price per share of the Fund on the last day of the period. The results
are compounded on a semi-annual basis and then annualized. A Fund's average
annual total return, which is the rate of growth of a Fund that would be
necessary to achieve the ending value of an investment kept in the Fund for the
period specified, is based on the following assumptions: (1) all dividends and
distributions by the Fund are reinvested in shares of the Fund at net asset
value; (2) all recurring fees are included for applicable periods; and (3) the
maximum current sales load, if any, is deducted from the initial investment.

     A Fund may also illustrate in advertisements and sales literature its
cumulative total return for several time periods throughout the Fund's life
based on an assumed initial investment of $10,000, for example, after deducting
the maximum sales load, if any, at the time of the initial investment. The
current maximum sales charge on an investment of $10,000 is 5.75%. Any

                                       29

<PAGE>   36



such cumulative total return for a Fund will assume the reinvestment of all
capital gains and dividend income for the indicated periods and include all
recurring fees.

     Comparative performance information also may be used from time to time in
advertising or marketing a Fund's shares. A Fund's total return may be compared
to that of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to bond
and other relevant indices or to rankings prepared by independent services or
other financial or industry publications that monitor the performance of mutual
funds. For example, the total return on Fund shares may be compared to data
prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and/or Money, Forbes, Business
Week and Fortune magazines, newspapers or other investment performance
services. In addition, a Fund's total return may be compared to an index such
as the S&P 500. Such comparative performance information will be stated in the
same terms in which the comparative data and indices are stated. For these
purposes, the performance of a Fund, as well as the performance of other mutual
funds or indices, does not reflect sales charges, the inclusion of which would
reduce performance.

     Investors should note that the investment results of a Fund will fluctuate
over time, and any presentation of a Fund's yield or average annual total
return for any prior period should not be considered as a representation of
what an investment may earn or what an investor's yield or total return may be
in any future period. Because yield calculation methods differ from the methods
used for other purposes, a Fund's yield may not equal the distributions
shareholders receive or the income reported in a Fund's financial statements.


                 RISK FACTORS, OTHER INVESTMENT PRACTICES, AND
                             POLICIES OF THE FUNDS


     A number of the investment policies and techniques referred to below are
subject to certain additional risks described more fully in the Statement of
Additional Information.


CASH RESERVES AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     Each of the Funds may use U.S. dollar denominated money market
instruments. Such money market instruments will be limited to high-quality
securities rated within the two highest credit categories by any NRSRO or, if
not rated, of comparable investment quality as determined by the Manager or the
Fund's Adviser, as appropriate. Such domestic money market instruments may
include: U.S. Government Securities; certificates of deposit; banker's
acceptances; bank time deposits; commercial paper; short-term corporate debt
securities; and repurchase agreements with a securities dealer or bank. In
these repurchase transactions, the underlying security, which is held by the
custodian through the federal book-entry system for a Fund as collateral, will
be marked to market on a daily basis to ensure full collateralization of the
repurchase agreement. In the event of a bankruptcy or default of certain
sellers of repurchase

                                       30

<PAGE>   37



agreements, a Fund could experience costs and delays in liquidating the
underlying security and might incur a loss if such collateral held declines in
value during this period.


FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES

     Fixed-income securities are considered high-grade if they are rated at
least A or its equivalent by any NRSRO or, if unrated, are determined to be of
comparable investment quality by the Manager or the Fund's Adviser, as
appropriate. High-grade fixed-income securities are considered to have a very
strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Fixed-income securities are
considered investment-grade if they are rated, for example, at least Baa or its
equivalent by any NRSRO or, if not rated, are determined to be of comparable
investment quality by the Manager or the Fund's Adviser, as appropriate.
Investment-grade fixed-income securities are regarded as having an adequate
capacity to pay principal and interest, although these securities have
speculative characteristics and changes in economic conditions or other
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make principal
and interest payments than is the case with higher grade bonds. See the
"Appendix" to the Statement of Additional Information regarding "Description of
Corporate Bond Ratings."

     The maturity of fixed-income securities may be considered long (ten or
more years), intermediate (two to ten years), or short-term (thirteen months or
less). In general, the principal values of longer-term securities fluctuate
more widely in response to changes in interest rates than those of shorter-term
securities, providing greater opportunity for capital gain or risk of capital
loss. A decline in interest rates usually produces an increase in the value of
fixed-income securities, while an increase in interest rates generally reduces
their value.


FORWARD COMMITMENTS AND WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

     Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or
forward commitment basis. When such transactions are negotiated, the price of
such securities is fixed at the time of the commitment, but delivery and
payment for the securities may take place up to 90 days after the date of the
commitment to purchase. The securities so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation, and no interest accrues to the purchaser during this period.
When-issued securities or forward commitments involve a risk of loss if the
value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date.
The Manager and the Advisers for the Funds do not believe that the net asset
value or income of the Funds will be adversely affected by the purchase of
securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. No Fund will enter
into such transactions for leverage (borrowing) purposes.


MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     The Government Securities Fund, the Income and Equity Fund, and the
Balanced Fund each may invest in mortgage-backed securities, which are
securities representing interests in pools of

                                       31

<PAGE>   38



mortgages. Principal and interest payments made on the mortgages in the pools
are passed through to the holder of such securities. Payment of principal and
interest on some mortgage-backed securities (but not the market value of the
securities themselves) may be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government (in the case of securities guaranteed by "GNMA"), or guaranteed
by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government (in the case of
securities guaranteed by the FNMA or FHLMC). Mortgage backed securities created
by non-governmental issuers (such as commercial banks, savings and loan
institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers, and other
secondary market issuers) may be supported by various forms of insurance or
guarantees, including individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance and
letters of credit, which may be issued by governmental entities, private
insurers, or the mortgage poolers.

     Unscheduled or early repayment of principal on mortgage-backed securities
(arising from prepayment of principal due to the sale of the underlying
property, refinancing, or foreclosure, net of fees and costs which may be
incurred) may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of
principal. Like other fixed-income securities, when interest rates rise, the
value of a mortgage-related security generally will decline; however, when
interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage-related securities with
prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed-income securities.


COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMOS)

     The Government Securities Fund, the Income and Equity Fund, and the
Balanced Fund each may invest in CMOs. CMOs are debt securities collateralized
by underlying mortgage loans or pools of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed
by GNMA, FHLMC, or FNMA and are generally issued by limited purpose finance
subsidiaries of U.S. Government instrumentalities.


     CMOs are not, however, "mortgage pass-through" securities, such as those
described above. Rather they are pay-through securities, i.e., securities
backed by the cash flow from the underlying mortgages. Investors in CMOs are
not owners of the underlying mortgages, which serve as collateral for such debt
securities, but are simply owners of a fixed-income security backed by such
pledged assets. CMOs are typically structured into multiple classes, with each
class bearing a different stated maturity and having different payment streams.
Monthly payments of principal, including prepayments, are first returned to the
investors holding the shortest maturity class; investors holding longer
maturity classes receive principal payments only after the shorter class or
classes have been retired.


ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES

     The Income and Equity Fund and the Balanced Fund each may purchase
asset-backed securities that represent either fractional interests or
participation in pools of leases, retail installment loans, or revolving credit
receivables held by a trust or limited purpose finance subsidiary. Such
asset-backed securities may be secured by the underlying assets (such as
Certificates for Automobile Receivables or "CARS") or may be unsecured (such as
Credit Card

                                       32

<PAGE>   39



Receivable Securities ("CARDS")). Depending on the structure of the
asset-backed security, monthly or quarterly payments of principal and interest
or interest only are passed-through (like mortgage-backed securities) or paid
through (like CMOs) to certificate holders. Asset backed securities may be
guaranteed up to certain amounts by guarantees, insurance, or letters of credit
issued by a financial institution affiliated or unaffiliated with the
originator of the pool.

     Underlying automobile sales contracts and credit card receivables are, of
course, subject to prepayment (although to a lesser degree than mortgage
pass-through securities), which may shorten the securities' weighted average
life and reduce their overall return to certificate holders. Certificate
holders may also experience delays in payment if the full amounts due on
underlying loans, leases, or receivables are not realized because of
unanticipated legal or administrative costs of enforcing the contracts or
because of depreciation or damage to the collateral (usually automobiles)
securing certain contracts, or other factors. The value of these securities
also may change because of changes in the market's perception of the
creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the
pool, or the financial institution providing credit support enhancement for the
pool. If consistent with their respective investment objectives and investment
programs, the Government Securities Fund and the Income and Equity Fund each
may invest in other asset-backed securities that may be developed in the
future.


ZERO-COUPON BONDS

     The Government Securities Fund and the Income and Equity Fund each may
invest in zero-coupon bonds. Such bonds may be issued directly by agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government or by private corporations.
Zero-coupon bonds may originate as such or may be created by stripping an
outstanding bond. Zero-coupon bonds do not make regular interest payments.
Instead, they are sold at a deep discount from their face value.

     Because a zero-coupon bond does not pay current income, its price can be
very volatile when interest rates change. In calculating its dividend, the
Income and Equity Fund takes into account as income a portion of the difference
between a zero-coupon bond's purchase price and its face value. The Income and
Equity Fund may also purchase LYONs which are securities that combine the
features of a zero-coupon bond with those of a convertible security. These
securities are also sold at a deep discount from their face value but, at
maturity, the holder of a LYON receives an equity interest in the issuing
company rather than a fixed-income security.



SECURITIES LENDING

     For purposes of realizing additional income, each Fund may lend portfolio
securities with a value of up to 30% of that Fund's total assets to
broker-dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board of
Directors. Any such loans will be continuously secured by collateral,
maintained in a segregated account, at least equal in value to the securities
loaned and marked-to-market on a daily basis. During the time each Fund's
securities are on loan, the borrower

                                       33

<PAGE>   40



will pay the Fund an amount equivalent to any dividend or interest paid on such
securities and the Fund may invest the cash collateral and earn additional
income, or it may receive an agreed-upon amount of interest income from the
borrower. The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions
of secured credit, consist of possible delays in receiving additional
collateral or in the recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in
the collateral should the borrower fail financially. Loans by a Fund will only
be made to broker-dealers and other financial institutions deemed to be
creditworthy and of good standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment
of the Manager or a Fund's Adviser, as appropriate the consideration to be
earned from such loans would justify the risk.


FOREIGN SECURITIES

     Each of the Funds, as specified in its investment program, may invest in
foreign securities. Investments in foreign securities involve certain risks
that are not typically associated with investing in domestic issuers,
including: (i) less publicly available information about the securities and
about the foreign company or government issuing them; (ii) less comprehensive
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards, practices, and
requirements; (iii) stock markets outside the United States may be less
developed or efficient than those in the United States and government
supervision and regulation of those stock markets and brokers and the issuers
in those markets is less comprehensive than that in the United States; (iv) the
securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than
securities of comparable domestic issuers; (v) settlement of transactions with
respect to foreign securities may sometimes be delayed beyond periods customary
in the United States; (vi) fixed brokerage commissions on certain foreign stock
exchanges and custodial costs with respect to securities of foreign issuers
generally exceed domestic costs; (vii) with respect to some countries, there is
the possibility of unfavorable changes in investment or exchange control
regulations, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation, taxation at the source of
the income payment or dividend distribution, limitations on the removal of
funds or other assets of each Fund, political or social instability, or
diplomatic developments that could adversely affect United States investments
in those countries; and (viii) foreign securities denominated in foreign
currencies may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency
exchange rates and exchange control regulations and each Fund may incur costs
in connection with conversions between various currencies. Specifically, to
facilitate each Fund's purchase of securities denominated in foreign
currencies, the Funds may engage in currency exchange transactions to convert
currencies to or from U.S. dollars. The Funds do not intend to hedge their
foreign currency risks and will engage in currency exchange transactions on a
spot (i.e., cash) basis only at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign
exchange market.

     With respect to equity securities, each Fund may purchase American
Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated certificates
issued by a United States bank or trust company and represent the right to
receive securities of a foreign issuer deposited in a domestic bank or foreign
branch of a United States bank and traded on a United States exchange or in an
over-the-counter market. Generally, ADRs are in registered form. There are no
fees imposed on the purchase or sale of ADRs when purchased from the issuing
bank or trust

                                       34

<PAGE>   41



company in the initial underwriting, although the issuing bank or trust company
may impose charges for the collection of dividends and the conversion of ADRs
into the underlying securities. Investment in ADRs has certain advantages over
direct investment in the underlying foreign securities since: (i) ADRs are U.S.
dollar-denominated investments that are registered domestically, easily
transferable and for which market quotations are readily available; and (ii)
issuers whose securities are represented by ADRs are subject to the same
auditing, accounting, and financial reporting standards as domestic issuers.


WRITING AND PURCHASING COVERED PUT AND CALL OPTIONS ON SECURITIES

     To earn additional income or to minimize anticipated declines in the value
of its securities, the Balanced Fund and the Small Cap Fund each may write
(i.e., sell) exchange traded covered call and put options on securities. The
Balanced Fund and the Small Cap Fund may also purchase call and put options on
securities. In general, a call option on a security gives the holder
(purchaser) the right to buy and obligates the writer (seller) to sell, in
return for a premium paid, the underlying security at the exercise price during
the option period. Conversely, a put option on a security gives the holder the
right to sell and obligates the writer to purchase, in return for a premium
paid, the underlying security at the exercise price during the option period.

     Although these investment practices will be used to generate additional
income and to attempt to reduce the effect of any adverse price movement in the
securities subject to the option, they do involve certain risks that are
different in some respects from investment risks associated with similar funds
which do not engage in such activities. These risks include the following:
writing covered call options - the inability to effect closing transactions at
favorable prices and the inability to participate in the appreciation of the
underlying securities above the exercise price; writing covered put options -
the inability to effect closing transactions at favorable prices and the
obligation to purchase the specified securities at prices which may not reflect
current market values; and purchasing call and put options -- possible loss of
the entire premium paid.


CERTAIN POLICIES TO REDUCE RISK

     Each Fund has adopted certain fundamental investment policies in managing
its portfolio that are designed to maintain the portfolio's diversity and
reduce risk. Each Fund will not: (i) with respect to 75% of each Fund's total
assets, invest in more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one
issuer; or (ii) borrow money except temporarily from banks to facilitate
redemption requests that might otherwise require untimely disposition of
portfolio securities and in amounts not exceeding 15% of each Fund's total
assets. Limitation (i) does not apply to U.S. Government Securities. These
investment policies are fundamental and may be changed for a Fund only by
approval of that Fund's shareholders.

                          MORE FACTS ABOUT THE COMPANY


ORGANIZATION AND CAPITALIZATION
     The Company was established as a Maryland corporation on May 18, 1992. The
Board of Directors is responsible for the overall management and supervision of
its affairs. The Company is authorized to issue one billion shares of common
stock, $.01 par value per share. The Company has designated 250 million shares
as Class A shares and 250 million shares as Class C shares. Each share of
capital stock issued with respect to a Fund has a pro-rata interest in the
assets of that Fund and has no interest in the assets of any other Fund. Each
Fund bears its own liabilities and its proportionate share of the general
liabilities of the Company. The Board is empowered by the Company's Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws to establish additional series or classes of shares.


     Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Manager provided the initial
capitalization of each Fund on December 23, 1992.

     The Company currently offers two Classes of shares for each Fund: Class A
and Class C. Each Class represents an identical interest in a Fund's investment
portfolio. Under the Company's multi-class system, shares of each Class of
shares of each Fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the Fund and
generally, have identical voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights,
preferences, powers, restrictions, limitations, qualifications and terms and
conditions, except that: (a) each Class shall have a different designation; (b)
each Class of shares shall bear its "Class Expenses;" (c) each Class shall have
exclusive voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders that relates
solely to its distribution arrangements; (d) each Class shall have separate
voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of
one Class differ from the interests of any other Class; (e) each Class may have
separate exchange privileges; and (f) each Class may have different conversion
features, although a conversion feature is not currently contemplated. The
Board of Directors does not anticipate that there will be any conflicts among
the interests of the holders of the different Classes and will take appropriate
action if any such conflict arises.

     Prior to the effective date of the Company's multi-class plan, the Company
had one Class of shares, which was redesignated Class A. The redesignation did
not change the rights and privileges of the Class A shares. For more
information about the different Classes of shares of the Fund, please call
1-800-282-6693.


PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

   
     Although no Fund purchases securities with a view to rapid turnover, there
are no limitations on the length of time that securities must be held by any
Fund and a Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate may vary significantly from
year to year. The portfolio turnover rates for each Fund for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1997, were: 68.52% for the Government Securities Fund;
42.3% for the Income and Equity Fund; 64.13% for the Balanced Fund; and 30.72%
for the Small Cap Fund.
    


DISTRIBUTION PLANS

   
     The Company has adopted a plan of distribution for its Class A shares (the
"Class A Plan") and a plan of distribution for its Class C shares (the "Class C
Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans allow the Company to
make certain payments to the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred in
distributing the Company's Class A and Class C shares. The Class A Plan provides
for the payment of shareholder service fees and the Class C Plan provides for
the payment of shareholder and distribution service fees. The Class A Plan has
the effect of increasing annual expenses of the Company by up to .25% of the
Company's average daily net assets, while the Class C Plan has the effect of
increasing annual expenses of the Company by up to 1.00% of the Company's
average daily net assets. The Distributor is authorized to make quarterly
payments to certain securities dealers or brokers, administrators and others
("Recipients") up to the full amount of the expense percentages described above
for rendering distribution assistance and administrative support services in
connection with the sale of Company shares. The fee imposed on each Fund's
assets will be used to pay for services provided by the Recipients. For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, fees paid for shareholder services with
respect to Class A shares were $9,536, $3,281, $7,219 and $23,535 for the
Government Securities Fund, Income and Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, and Small Cap
Fund, respectively.

EXPENSES

   
     The Company bears all expenses of its operation, other than those assumed
by the Manager. In addition, the expense of organizing the Company and
registering and qualifying its initial shares under federal and state
securities laws will be charged to the Company's operations, as an expense, and
amortized over a period not to exceed five years. The amortization period
expired in February 1998.

     In the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997, the Manager voluntarily agreed
to waive its management fee for some of the Funds and to reimburse certain
expenses of the Funds. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the ratios
of operating expenses (net of the Manager's fee waivers and expense
reimbursements) to average net assets for the Government Securities Fund, Income
and Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, and Small Cap Fund were 1.65%, 1.85%, 3.28%, and
3.18%, respectively.

     Currently, the Manager, Co-Manager and the Advisers have voluntarily
entered into Expense Limitation Agreements with each Fund, pursuant to which
they may waive their management and advisory fees, respectively, and/or absorb
certain expenses for each Fund. Pursuant to these Agreements, the Manager
currently (a) will waive its management fee and/or absorb expenses to the extent
necessary to maintain the total Fund Operating Expenses of the Class A shares of
the Government Securities Fund and the Income and Equity Fund at 1.65% and
1.85%, respectively, of average net assets, and to maintain the total Fund
Operating Expenses of the Class C shares of those two Funds at 2.40% and 2.60%,
respectively, of average net assets, (b) will waive its management fee for the
Balanced Fund by 0.40% of average net assets, and (c) will not waive its fee or
absorb expenses of the Small Cap Fund. The Co-Manager of the Income and Equity
Fund also has agreed to waive its management fee to the extent necessary to
enable that Fund to meet the expense limitations set forth above. PGIS has also
agreed to waive the transfer agency fees on Class C shares of the Government
Securities Fund and the Income and Equity Fund to the extent necessary to enable
those Funds to meet the expense limitations described above. The Manager may
discontinue or change these fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements at
any time upon 90 days notice to the relevant Fund.
    

     The Company may reimburse the Manager and/or the Co-Manager for fees so
waived and expenses so assumed at such time as such Fund's expenses do not
exceed 2.5% of average net assets, the assets of such Fund are $20 million or
greater, and the payment of such reimbursement would not cause such Fund's
expenses to exceed 2.5% of average net assets. Any such reimbursement payments
will be determined separately for each Class of shares and will cause the
relevant's Fund's operating expenses and expense ratio to be higher than they
would otherwise be. Transfer Agency fees waived by PGIS with respect to Class C
shares, pursuant to the current Expense Limitation Agreements, will not be
reimbursed.

MEETINGS AND VOTING RIGHTS

     The Company does not intend to hold annual shareholder meetings.
Shareholders have certain rights, as set forth in the Company's Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws, including the right to call a special meeting of
shareholders, upon the written request of the holders of at least 10% of the
votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, for the purpose of voting on the
removal of one or more Directors. Such removal may be effected upon the action
of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company. The Company has an
obligation to assist in such shareholder communications.

     Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Shareholders of the Funds
shall vote together on any matter, except to the extent otherwise required by
the 1940 Act, or when the Board of Trustees has determined that the matter
affects only the interest of shareholders of one or more Classes, in which case
only the shareholders of such Class or Classes shall be entitled to vote
thereon. Accordingly, shares of a Fund will be voted only with respect to that
Fund except for the election of directors and ratification of independent
accountants. Approval by the shareholders of one Fund is effective as to that
Fund. Shares have noncumulative voting rights, do not have preemptive or
subscription rights, and are not transferable. Pursuant to the Investment
Company Act of 1940, shareholders of each Fund are required to approve the
adoption of any investment advisory agreement and distribution plan relating to
such Fund and of any changes in fundamental investment restrictions or policies
of the Fund. Any matter shall be deemed to have been effectively acted upon
with respect to the Fund if acted upon, as provided in Rule 18f-2 under the
1940 Act, or any successor rule, and in the Articles of Incorporation.


SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

     Shareholders of the Company will receive annual financial statements
examined by the Company's independent auditors as well as unaudited semi-annual
financial statements. Each report will show the investments owned by the
Company and their respective market values, and will provide other financial
information. Shareholders with inquiries regarding the Company and individual
accounts should contact PGIS.

discretion to perform or to cause or permit the Advisers to: (i) buy, sell,

or issuers selected by the Manager; (iii) prepare and supervise the preparation
of shareholder reports and other shareholder communications; (iv) obtain and
evaluate business and financial information in connection with the exercise of
its duties; and (v) formulate and implement a continuing program for the
management of each Fund's assets. Pursuant to the Co-Management Agreement, the
Manager and Co-Manager are equally responsible for carrying out the duties
specified above with respect to the Income and Equity Fund.

           In addition, the Manager will furnish to or place at the disposal of
the Funds such information and reports as requested by or as the Manager
believes would be helpful to the Funds. The Manager has agreed to permit
individuals who are among its officers or employees to serve as officers,
directors, and members of any committees or advisory board of the Board of the
Company without cost to the Company. The Manager has agreed to pay all
salaries, expenses, and fees of the directors and officers of the Company who
are affiliated with the Manager, the Distributor, or the Company; provided,
however, that the Company will reimburse the Manager for expenses incurred, if
any, by the Manager in responding to telephonic inquiries from, and mailing
information to, shareholders and registered representatives requesting
shareholder information concerning the Funds on behalf of shareholders of the
Funds. The expenses to be reimbursed, if any, include a portion of the cost of
employee compensation, telephone charges, office space, office equipment, and
office services properly allocable to the shareholder services described
directly above.


TRANSFER AGENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGENT

   
           The Transfer Agent, PGIS, is responsible for providing transfer
agency, dividend disbursement, and administrative services to the Company. PGIS
is compensated for these services by the Company pursuant to the Transfer
Agency, Dividend Disbursing Agency and Administrative Service Agreement. These
administrative services include assisting the Manager by: maintaining the
Company's corporate existence and corporate records; maintaining the Funds'
registration under state law; coordination and supervision of the financial and
accounting functions for the Funds; liaison with various agents and other
parties employed by the Company (i.e., custodian, auditors, and attorneys); and
the preparation and development of shareholder communications and reports. PGIS
is reimbursed by the Fund for any expenditures on behalf of the Fund and is
compensated for administrative services at the annual rate of .05% of average
daily net assets, but in no event in excess of $25,000 per Fund per year. PGIS
performs certain transfer agent and administrative services for the Distributor
in connection with exchanges to and from the Eligible Funds. The Distributor
compensates PGIS for these services. PGIS may contract with unaffiliated
entities for the provision of these services to the Company and the Distributor.
PGIS is compensated separately for transfer agency services. The transfer agency
fees depend on the number of shareholder accounts for the relevant Fund, subject
to a minimum annual fee of $15,000 per Fund for Class A shares and $9,000 per
Fund for Class C shares. As described in the Prospectus, PGIS has agreed to
waive its transfer agency fees on Class C shares of the Government Securities
Fund and the Income and Equity Fund to the extent necessary to enable those
Funds to meet the applicable expense limitations. See "PROSPECTUS: MORE FACTS
ABOUT THE COMPANY: EXPENSES". For the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997, PGIS

           However, the Manager gave shares of its common stock to Hamilton &
Bache in lieu of cash fees for its services as Adviser to the Balanced Fund

to Hamilton & Bache for its services as Co-Manager to the Income and Equity
Fund.

CUSTODIAN

           United Missouri Bank, N.A. ("UMB, N.A.") is custodian of the
securities and cash owned by the Funds. UMB, N.A. is responsible for holding
all securities and cash of each Fund, receiving and paying for securities
purchased, delivering against payment securities sold, receiving and collecting
income from investments, making all payments covering expenses of the Funds,
computing the net asset value of the Funds, calculating each Fund's
standardized performance information, and performing other administrative
duties, all as directed by persons authorized by the Company. UMB, N.A. does
not exercise any supervisory function in such matters as the purchase 


                                      S-8

<PAGE>   54

and sale of portfolio securities, payment of dividends, or payment of expenses
of the Funds or the Company. Portfolio securities of the Funds purchased in the
U.S. are maintained in the custody of UMB, N.A. and may be entered into the
Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or the security depository system of the
Depository Trust Company or Participants' Trust Company. Pursuant to the
Custody Agreement, portfolio securities purchased outside the U.S. are
maintained in the custody of various foreign branches of UMB, N.A. and such
other custodians, including foreign banks and foreign securities depositories,
as are approved by the Board of Directors, in accordance with regulations under
the 1940 Act. The Funds may invest in obligations of UMB, N.A. and may purchase
or sell securities from or to UMB, N.A..


                               DISTRIBUTION PLAN

           The Company has adopted a Plan of Distribution for its Class A Shares
(the "Class A Plan") and a Plan of Distribution for its Class C Shares (the
"Class C Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Company will pay the Distributor
quarterly at a rate not to exceed .0625% of the Company's average daily net
assets attributable to Class A shares during the quarter. Pursuant to the Class
C Plan, the Company will pay the Distributor quarterly at a rate not to exceed
 .25% of the Company's average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares
during the quarter. The Distributor, in turn, will pay certain securities
dealers or brokers, administrators and others ("Recipients") based on the
average daily net asset value of Class A and Class C shares, as appropriate, of
the Company owned by that Recipient or its customers during that quarter.
However, no such payments will be made to any Recipient in any quarter if the
aggregate net asset value of the Class A and Class C shares of the Company held
by the Recipient or its customers at the end of such quarter, taken without
regard to the minimum holding period, does not exceed a minimum amount. The
minimum holding period and the minimum level of holdings, if any, will be
determined from time to time by a majority of the Directors who are not
"interested persons" ("Independent Directors") of the Company. The services to
be provided by Recipients may include, but are not limited to, distributing
sales literature, answering routine customer inquiries regarding the Company,
assisting in establishing and maintaining accounts or sub-accounts in the
Company and processing purchase and redemption transactions, making the
Company's investment plans and shareholder services options available, and
providing such other information and services as the Distributor or the Company
may reasonably request from time to time.

   
           All of the fees paid to the Distributor pursuant to the Class A Plan 
will be used to pay Recipients for shareholder services rendered to the
shareholders of the Funds. Fees paid to the Distributor pursuant to the Class C
Plan will be used to pay Recipients for shareholder and distribution services.
Any unreimbursed expenses incurred during any quarter by the Distributor may not
be recovered in later periods. The Class A Plan has the effect of increasing
annual expenses of the Company by up to .25% of the Company's average daily net
assets attributable to Class A shares, while the Class C Plan has the affect of
increasing annual expenses of the Company by up to 1.00% of the Company's
average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. For the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1997, Rule 12b-1 payments of $9,536, $3,281, $7,219 and
$23,535 were made by the Government Securities, Income and Equity, Balanced and
Small Cap Funds, respectively. The Class C Plan became effective on December 10,
1997, although no fees will be paid pursuant to the Class C Plan until after
sales of Class C shares commence upon the effective date of this Registration
Statement.
    


                            INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

           In addition to the restrictions set forth in the Prospectus with
respect to each Fund, which are described as fundamental investment policies,
investment restrictions (1), (2), (3), (5), (7), (11), (14), (16) and (17)
described below, have been adopted as fundamental investment policies of each
Fund. Such fundamental investment policies may be changed only with the consent
of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the particular Fund. As
used in the Prospectus and in this Statement of Additional Information, the
term "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the lesser of (1)
67% of the voting securities of a Fund present at a meeting where the holders
of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund are present in
person or by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities
of a Fund. Shares of each Fund will be voted separately on matters affecting
only that Fund, including approval of changes in the fundamental objectives,
policies, or restrictions of that Fund.

           The following investment restrictions apply to each Fund except as
indicated to the contrary.

           A Fund will not:


                                      S-9


<PAGE>   55

           (1)    MARGIN AND SHORT SALES: Purchase securities on margin or sell
securities short, except each Fund may make margin deposits in connection with
permissible options and futures transactions subject to restrictions (5)
and (8) below and may make short sales against the box. As a matter of
operating policy, no Fund has a current intention, in the foreseeable future
(i.e., the next year), of making margin deposits in connection with futures
transactions or making short sales against the box;

           (2)    SENIOR SECURITIES AND BORROWING: Issue any class of securities
senior to any other class of securities, although each Fund may borrow for
temporary or emergency purposes. Each Fund may borrow up to 15% of its total
assets. No securities will be purchased for a Fund when borrowed money exceeds
5% of the Fund's total assets. Each Fund may each enter into futures contracts
subject to restriction (5) below;

           (3)    REAL ESTATE: Purchase or sell real estate, or invest in real
estate limited partnerships, except each Fund may, as appropriate and
consistent with its respective investment objectives, investment program,
policies and other investment restrictions, buy securities of issuers that
engage in real estate operations and securities that are secured by interests
in real estate (including shares of real estate investment trusts, master
limited partnerships traded on a national securities exchange, mortgage
pass-through securities, mortgage-backed securities, and collateralized
mortgage obligations) and may hold and sell real estate acquired as a result of
ownership of such securities. In order to comply with the securities laws of
several states, the Balanced Fund and Small Cap Fund (as a matter of operating
policy) will not invest in securities of real estate investment trusts, if by
reason thereof the value of each Fund's aggregate investment in such securities
would exceed 10% of its total costs.

           (4)    CONTROL OF PORTFOLIO COMPANIES:  Invest in portfolio 
companies for the purpose of acquiring or exercising control of such companies;

           (5)    COMMODITIES: Purchase or sell commodities and invest in
commodities futures contracts, except that each Fund may enter into only those
futures contracts and options thereon that are listed on a national securities
or commodities exchange where, as a result thereof, no more than 5% of the
total assets for that Fund (taken at market value at the time of entering into
the futures contracts) would be committed to margin deposits on such future
contracts and premiums paid for unexpired options on such futures contracts;
provided that, in the case of an option that is "in-the-money" at the time of
purchase, the "in-the-money" amount, as defined under Commodity Futures Trading
Commission regulations, may be excluded in computing the 5% limit. As a matter
of operating policy, no Fund has any current intention, in the foreseeable
future (i.e., the next year), of entering into futures contracts or options
thereon;

           (6)    INVESTMENT COMPANIES: Invest in the securities of other
investment companies, except that each Fund, other than the Income and Equity
Fund, may purchase securities of other investment companies only in those
circumstances in which each Fund (i) owns no more than 3% of the total
outstanding voting securities of any other investment company, (ii) invests no
more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one investment
company, and (iii) invests no more than 10% of its total assets in the
securities of all other investment companies in the aggregate;

           (7)    UNDERWRITING: Underwrite securities issued by other persons,
except to the extent that a Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter, within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, in connection with the purchase of
securities directly from an issuer in accordance with that Fund's investment
objectives, investment program, policies, and restrictions;

           (8)    OPTIONS, STRADDLES, AND SPREADS: Invest in puts, calls,
straddles, spreads or any combination thereof, except that each Fund may invest
in and commit its assets to writing and purchasing only those put and call
options that are listed on a national securities exchange and issued by the
Options Clearing Corporation to the extent permitted by the Prospectus and this
Statement of Additional Information. The Fund will write only those put or call
options that are considered to be appropriately covered. In order to comply
with the securities laws of several

                                      S-10

<PAGE>   56
states, no Fund (as a matter of operating policy) will write a covered
call option if, as a result, the aggregate market value of all portfolio
securities covering call options or subject to put options for that Fund
exceeds 25% of the market value of that Fund's net assets. The Government
Securities Fund and the Income and Equity Fund have no current intention, 
in the foreseeable future (i.e., the next year), of investing in options,
straddles, spreads, or any combination thereof;

            (9)   OIL AND GAS PROGRAMS:  Invest in interests in oil, gas, or
other  mineral exploration or development programs or oil, gas and mineral
leases,  although investments may be made in the securities of issuers engaged
in any  such businesses;   

           (10)   OWNERSHIP OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES BY OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS:
Purchase or retain the securities of any issuer if to the knowledge of the
Company, those officers and directors of the Company, the Manager or the
Advisers who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of such
issuer collectively own more than 5% of the securities of such issuer;

           (11)   LOANS: Make loans, except that each Fund in accordance with
that Fund's investment objectives, investment program, policies, and
restrictions may (i) make loans of portfolio securities with a value of up to
30% of that Fund's total assets, (ii) invest in a portion of an issue of
publicly issued or privately placed bonds, debentures, notes, and other debt
securities for investment purposes, and (iii) purchase money market securities
and enter into repurchase agreements, provided such instruments are fully
collateralized and marked to market daily;

           (12)   UNSEASONED ISSUERS: The Balanced Fund and Small Cap Fund will
not invest more than 5% of each of its total assets in securities of issuers,
including their predecessors and unconditional guarantors, which, at the time
of purchase, have been in operation for less than three years, other than
obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies,
and instrumentalities;

           (13)   ILLIQUID SECURITIES AND SECURITIES NOT READILY MARKETABLE:
Knowingly purchase or otherwise acquire any security or invest in a repurchase
agreement if, as a result, more than 15% of a Fund's net assets would be
invested in securities that are illiquid or not readily marketable, including
repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days and foreign issuers
whose securities are not listed on a recognized domestic or foreign exchange.
Some investments may be determined by the Funds to be illiquid. Illiquid
securities are securities which each Fund cannot sell or dispose of in the
ordinary course of business at an acceptable price, securities which are
subject to legal or contractual restrictions on disposition, other securities
for which no readily available market exists, and repurchase agreements and
time deposits with a maturity of more than seven days. Difficulty in selling
securities may result in a loss and may be costly to a Fund. As a matter of
operating policy, in compliance with certain state securities regulations, no
more than 5% of any Fund's net assets will be invested in restricted
securities;

           (14)   MORTGAGING: Mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate in any other
manner, or transfer as security for indebtedness any security owned by a Fund,
except (i) as may be necessary in connection with permissible borrowings (in
which event such mortgaging, pledging, and hypothecating may not exceed 15% of
each Fund's total assets) and (ii) as may be necessary in connection with each
Fund's use of permissible options and futures transactions, subject to
restrictions (5) and (8) above;

           (15)   WARRANTS:  Invest more than 5% of a Fund's net assets in 
warrants, and will further limit its investment in unlisted warrants to no more 
than 2% of its net assets;

           (16)   DIVERSIFICATION: Make an investment unless 75% of the value of
that Fund's total assets is represented by cash, cash items, US. Government
securities, securities of other investment companies and other securities. For
purposes of this restriction, the purchase of "other securities" is limited so
that no more than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets would be invested
in any one issuer. As a matter of operating policy, each Fund will not consider
repurchase agreements to be subject to the above-stated 5% limitation if all
the collateral 



                                      S-11

<PAGE>   57



underlying the repurchase agreements are securities issued by the U.S.
Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and such repurchase agreements
are fully collateralized by such securities; and

           (17)   CONCENTRATION: Except for the Government Securities Fund,
purchase the securities of issuers conducting their principal business activity
in the same industry if, immediately after the purchase and as a result
thereof, the value of the investments of a Fund in that industry would exceed
25% of the current value of the total assets of that Fund. In those instances
in which the Government Securities Fund invests more than 25% of its total
assets in dividend-paying common stocks, the Government Securities Fund will
concentrate its investments in securities of issuers in the public utilities
industry.

           The Government Securities Fund may invest more than 25% of its total
assets in dividend-paying common stocks when Spectrum anticipates that interest
rates will decline. Thus, investments in dividend-paying common stocks of
issuers in the public utility industry will serve as substitutes for investment
in long-term bonds. Concentration in securities in the public utility industry
will occur when utilizing such securities as substitutes for long-term bonds is
consistent with managing the Fund to increase the Fund's total rate of return.
Thus, concentration of investments in this area are made when the current yield
on U.S. Government 30-year bonds declines 60 basis points (6/10 of 1%) from
previous yield peaks for the period of the last 50 trading days. The Fund would
reverse its concentration of investments when the current yield on U.S.
Government bonds rises 60 basis points (6/10 of 1%) from previous yield lows
for the period of the last 50 trading days.


                       DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INVESTMENTS

           The following is a description of certain types of investments which
may be made by the Funds.

MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS

           As stated in the Prospectus, each Fund may invest in high-quality
money market instruments. The money market instruments that may be used by each
Fund may include:

           UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS. These consist of various types
of marketable securities issued by the United States Treasury, i.e., bills,
notes and bonds. Such securities are direct obligations of the United States
Government and differ mainly in the length of their maturity. Treasury bills,
the most frequently issued marketable government security, have a maturity of
up to one year and are issued on a discount basis.

           UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AGENCY SECURITIES. These consist of debt
securities issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the United States
Government, including the various types of instruments currently outstanding or
which may be offered in the future. Agencies include, among others, the Federal
Housing Administration, Government National Mortgage Association, Farmer's Home
Administration, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Maritime
Administration, and General Services Administration. Instrumentalities include,
for example, each of the Federal Home Loan Banks, the National Bank for
Cooperatives, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Farm Credit
Banks, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the United States Postal
Service. These securities are either; (i) backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States Government (e.g., United States Treasury Bills); (ii)
guaranteed by the United States Treasury (e.g., Government National Mortgage
Association mortgage-backed securities); (iii) supported by the issuing
agency's or instrumentality's right to borrow from the United States Treasury
(e.g., Federal National Mortgage Association Discount Notes); or (iv) supported
only by the issuing agency's or instrumentality's own credit (e.g., securities
issued by the Farmer's Home Administration).

           BANK AND SAVINGS AND LOAN OBLIGATIONS. These include certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, and time deposits. Certificates of deposit
generally are short-term, interest-bearing negotiable certificates issued by


                                      S-12

<PAGE>   58

commercial banks or savings and loan associations against funds deposited in
the issuing institution. Bankers' acceptances are time drafts drawn on a
commercial bank by a borrower, usually in connection with an international
commercial transaction (e.g., to finance the import, export, transfer, or
storage of goods). With a bankers' acceptance, the borrower is liable for
payment as is the bank, which unconditionally guarantees to pay the draft at
its face amount on the maturity date. Most bankers' acceptances have maturities
of six months or less and are traded in secondary markets prior to maturity.
Time deposits are generally short-term, interest-bearing negotiable obligations
issued by commercial banks against funds deposited in the issuing institutions.
The Funds will not invest in any security issued by a commercial bank or a
savings and loan association unless the bank or savings and loan association is
organized and operating in the United States, has total assets of at least one
billion dollars, and is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"), in the case of banks, or insured by the FDIC in the case of savings
and loan associations; provided, however, that such limitation will not
prohibit investments in foreign branches of domestic banks which meet the
foregoing requirements. The Funds will not invest in time-deposits maturing in
more than seven days.

           SHORT-TERM CORPORATE DEBT INSTRUMENTS. These include commercial
paper (i.e., short-term, unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations to
finance short-term credit needs). Commercial paper is usually sold on a
discount basis and has a maturity at the time of issuance not exceeding nine
months. Also included are non-convertible corporate debt securities (e.g.,
bonds and debentures). Corporate debt securities with a remaining maturity of
less than 13 months are liquid (and tend to become more liquid as their
maturities lessen) and are traded as money market securities. Each Fund may
purchase corporate debt securities having greater maturities.

           REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Funds may invest in repurchase
agreements. A repurchase agreement is an instrument under which the investor
(such as a Fund) acquires ownership of a security (known as the "underlying
security") and the seller (i.e., a bank or primary dealer) agrees, at the time
of the sale, to repurchase the underlying security at a mutually agreed upon
time and price, thereby determining the yield during the term of the agreement.
This results in a fixed rate of return insulated from market fluctuations
during such period, unless the seller defaults on its repurchase obligations.
The underlying securities will consist only of high-grade money market
instruments, including securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities ("U.S. Government Securities"). Repurchase agreements are,
in effect, collateralized by such underlying securities, and, during the term
of a repurchase agreement, the seller will be required to mark-to-market such
securities every business day and to provide such additional collateral as is
necessary to maintain the value of all collateral at a level at least equal to
the repurchase price. Repurchase agreements usually are for short periods,
often under one week, and will not be entered into by a Fund for a duration of
more than seven days if, as a result, more than 15% of the total value of that
Fund's total assets would be invested in such agreements or other securities
which are not readily marketable.

           The Funds will seek to assure that the amount of collateral with
respect to any repurchase agreement is adequate. As with a true extension of
credit, however, there is risk of delay in recovery or the possibility of
inadequacy of the collateral should the seller of the repurchase agreement fall
financially. In addition, a Fund could incur costs in connection with
disposition of the collateral if the seller were to default. The Funds will
enter into repurchase agreements only with sellers deemed to be creditworthy by
the Company's Board of Directors and only when the economic benefit to the
Funds is believed to justify the attendant risks. The Funds have adopted
standards for the sellers with whom they will enter into repurchase agreements.
The Board of Directors believes these standards are designed to reasonably
assure that such sellers present no serious risk of becoming involved in
bankruptcy proceedings within the time frame contemplated by the repurchase
agreement. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements only with member
banks of the Federal Reserve System or primary dealers in U. S.
Government Securities.

           ADJUSTABLE RATE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES. Adjustable rate
securities (i.e., variable rate and floating rate instruments) are securities
that have interest rates that are adjusted periodically, according to a set
formula. The maturity of some adjustable rate securities may be shortened under
certain special conditions described more fully below.


                                      S-13

<PAGE>   59

           Variable rate instruments are obligations (usually certificates of 
deposit) that provide for the adjustment of their interest rates on
predetermined dates or whenever a specific interest rate changes. A variable
rate instrument subject to a demand feature is considered to have a maturity
equal to the longer of the period remaining until the next readjustment of the
interest rate or the period remaining until the principal amount can be
recovered through demand.

           Floating rate instruments (generally corporate notes, bank notes, or
Eurodollar certificates of deposit) have interest rate reset provisions similar
to those for variable rate instruments and may be subject to demand features
like those for variable rate instruments. The interest rate is adjusted,
periodically (e.g., daily, monthly, semi-annually), to the prevailing interest
rate in the marketplace. The interest rate on floating rate securities is
ordinarily determined by reference to, or is a percentage of, a bank's prime
rate, the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate, the rate of return on commercial
paper or bank certificates of deposit, an index of short-term interest rates,
or some other objective measure. The maturity of a floating rate instrument is
considered to be the period remaining until the principal amount can be
recovered through demand.


FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES

           As noted in the Prospectus, in accordance with each Fund's
investment objectives and investment program, each Fund may invest to varying
degrees in high and medium quality fixed-income securities. (See the Appendix
for a description of each rating category.) Certain of these fixed-income
securities are described below.

           MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. Interests in pools of mortgage-backed
securities differ from other forms of debt securities (which normally provide
for periodic payments of interest in fixed amounts and the payment of principal
in a lump sum at maturity or on specified call dates). Instead, mortgage-backed
securities provide monthly payments consisting of both interest and principal
payments. In effect, these payments are a "pass-through" of the monthly
payments made by the individual borrowers on the underlying residential
mortgage loans, net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of such
securities. Unscheduled payments of principal may be made if the underlying
mortgage loans are repaid, refinanced or the underlying properties are
foreclosed, thereby shortening the securities' weighted average life. Some
mortgage-backed securities, such as securities guaranteed by the Government
National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), are described as "modified pass-through
securities." These securities entitle the holder to receive all interest and
principal payments owed on the mortgage pool, net of certain fees, on the
scheduled payment dates regardless of whether the mortgagor actually makes the
payment.

           The principal governmental guarantor of mortgage-backed securities
is GNMA. GNMA is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities
issued by lending institutions approved by GNMA (such as savings and loan
institutions, commercial banks and mortgage bankers) and backed by pools of
mortgage loans. These mortgage loans are either insured by the Federal Housing
Administration or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. A "pool" or group
of such mortgage loans is assembled and, after being approved by GNMA, is
offered to investors through securities dealers.

           Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").
FNMA is a government-sponsored corporation owned entirely by private
stockholders. It is subject to general regulation by the Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development. FNMA purchases conventional (i.e., not insured or
guaranteed by any government agency) residential mortgages from a list of
approved seller/services which include state and federally chartered savings
and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions
and mortgage bankers. Mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed
as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by
the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

           FHLMC was created by Congress in 1970 for the purpose of increasing
the availability of mortgage credit 

                                      S-14

<PAGE>   60


for residential housing. It is a government-sponsored corporation formerly
owned by the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks and now owned entirely by private
stockholders. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates ("Pcs") which represent
interests in conventional mortgages from FHLMC's national portfolio. FHLMC
guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal,
but Pcs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

           Commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage
insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers also
create pass-through pools of conventional residential mortgage loans. Such
issuers may, in addition, be the originators and/or servicers of the underlying
mortgage loans as well as the guarantors of the mortgage-backed securities.
Pools created by such non-governmental issuers generally offer a higher rate of
interest than government and government-related pools because there are no
direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in the former
pools. Timely payment of interest and principal of these pools may be supported
by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual loan, title,
pool and hazard insurance and letters of credit. The insurance and guarantees
are issued by governmental entities, private insurers and the mortgage poolers.
Such insurance and guarantees and the creditworthiness of the issuers thereof
will be considered in determining whether a mortgage-backed security meets each
Fund's investment quality standards. There can be no assurance that the private
insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies
or guarantee arrangements. Each Fund may buy mortgage-backed securities without
insurance or guarantees if its Adviser determines that the securities meet that
Fund's quality standards. Although the market for such securities is becoming
increasingly liquid, securities issued by certain private organizations may not
be readily marketable. Each Fund will limit its investment in mortgage-backed
securities or other securities which may be considered illiquid or not readily
marketable to no more than 15% of that Fund's total assets.

           COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMOS). Collateralized mortgage
obligations ("CMOs") are debt securities collateralized by underlying whole
mortgage loans or, more typically, by pools of mortgage-backed securities
guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC, or FNMA and their income streams. CMOs are generally
structured into multiple classes or tranches, each bearing a different stated
maturity. The actual maturity and average life of a CMO will depend upon the
prepayment experience of the collateral. CMOs provide for a modified form of
call protection through a de facto breakdown of the underlying pool of
mortgages according to how quickly the loans are repaid. Monthly payment of
principal received from the pool of underlying mortgages, including
prepayments, is first returned to investors holding the shortest maturity
class. Investors holding the longer maturity classes receive principal only
after the first class has been retired. An investor is partially guarded
against a sooner than desired return of principal because of the sequential
payments.

           In a typical CMO transaction, a corporation issues multiple series
of CMO bonds (e.g., Series A, B, C, and Z bonds). Proceeds of the CMO bond
offering are used to purchase mortgages or mortgage-backed certificates which
are used as collateral for the loan ("Collateral"). The Collateral is generally
pledged to a third party trustee as security for the CMO bond. Principal and
interest payments from the Collateral are used to pay principal on the CMO
bonds. The Series A, B, and C bonds all bear current interest. Interest on the
Series Z bond is accrued and added to principal and a like amount is paid as
principal on the Series A, B, or C bond currently being paid off. When the
Series A, B, and C bonds are paid in full, interest and principal on the Series
Z bond begins to be paid currently. With some CMOs, the issuer serves as a
conduit to allow loan originators (primarily builders or savings and loan
associations) to borrow against their loan portfolios.

           OTHER MORTGAGE-RELATED SECURITIES. Other mortgage-related securities
include securities other than those described above that directly or indirectly
represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage
loans on real property, including CMO residuals or stripped mortgage-backed
securities. Other mortgage-related securities may be equity or debt securities
issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government or by private
originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans, including savings and loan
associations, homebuilders, mortgage banks, commercial banks, investment banks,
partnerships, trusts and special purpose entities of the foregoing.


                                      S-15

<PAGE>   61

           ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES.  The Income and Equity Fund and the Balanced
Fund each may invest in asset- backed securities including interests in pools
of receivables, such as motor vehicle installment purchase obligations (such as
Certificates for Automobile Receivables or "CARs") and credit card receivables
(such as Credit Card Receivable Securities or "CARDS"). Such securities are
generally issued as pass-through certificates, which represent undivided
fractional ownership interests in the underlying pools of assets. However, such
securities may also be issued on a pay-through basis (like CMOs) and, in such
case, are generally issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized
solely for the purpose of owning such asset and issuing such pay-through
security. Asset-backed securities are not issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The payment of principal and
interest on such obligations may be guaranteed up to certain amounts and for a
certain time period by a letter of credit issued by a financial institution
(such as a bank or insurance company) affiliated or unaffiliated with the
issuers of such securities.

           The purchase of asset-backed securities raises considerations
concerning the credit support for such securities due to the financing of the
instruments underlying such securities. For example, most organizations that
issue asset-backed securities relating to motor vehicle installment purchase
obligations perfect their interests in their respective obligations only by
filing a financing statement and by having the servicer of the obligations,
which is usually the originator, take custody thereof. In such circumstances,
if the servicer were to sell the same obligations to another party, in
violation of its duty not to do so, there is a risk that such party could
acquire an interest in the obligations superior to that of the holders of the
asset-backed securities. Also, although most such obligations grant a security
interest in the motor vehicle being financed, in most states the security
interest in a motor vehicle must be noted on the certificate of title to
perfect such security interest against competing claims of other parties. Due
to the large number of vehicles involved, however, the certificate of title to
each vehicle financed, pursuant to the obligations underlying the asset-backed
securities, usually is not amended to reflect the assignment of the seller's
security interest for the benefit of the holders of the asset-backed
securities. Therefore, there is the possibility that recoveries on repossessed
collateral may not, in some cases, be available to support payments on those
securities. In addition, various state and federal laws give the motor vehicle
owner the right to assert against the holder of the owner's obligation certain
defenses such owner would have against the seller of the motor vehicle. The
assertion of such defenses could reduce payments on the related asset-backed
securities.

           Insofar as credit card receivables are concerned, credit card
holders are entitled to the protection of a number of state and federal
consumer credit laws, many of which give such holders the right to set off
certain amounts against balances owed on the credit card, thereby reducing the
amounts paid on such receivables. In addition, unlike most other asset-backed
securities, credit card receivables are unsecured obligations of the
cardholder.

           The development of asset-backed securities is at an early stage
compared to mortgage-backed securities. While the market for asset-backed
securities is becoming increasingly liquid, the market for such securities is
not as well developed as that for mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by
government agencies or instrumentalities. The Income and Equity Fund intends to
limit its purchases of asset-backed securities to securities that are readily
marketable at the time of purchase.

           ZERO COUPON BONDS. The Government Securities Fund and Income and
Equity Fund each may invest in "zero coupon" bonds. Zero coupon bonds do not
entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to their
maturity. Accordingly, such securities usually trade at a deep discount from
their face value. An investor, such as the Government Securities Fund or Income
and Equity Fund, acquires a zero coupon bond at a price that is generally an
amount based upon its present value, and which, depending upon the time
remaining until maturity, may be significantly less than the bond's face value
(sometimes referred to as a "deep discount" price). Upon maturity of the zero
coupon bond, the investor receives the face value of the bond. The Funds may
also invest up to 5% of its net assets in "pay-in-kind" securities (i.e., debt
obligations the interest on which may be paid in the form of additional
obligations of the same type rather than cash) which have characteristics
similar to zero coupon securities.


                                      S-16

<PAGE>   62



           Zero coupon bond and "pay-in-kind" securities may be more
speculative and subject to greater fluctuations in their market value in
response to changing interest rates than debt obligations that make period
distributions of interest. On the other hand, because there are no periodic
interest payments to be reinvested prior to maturity, zero coupon bonds
eliminate any reinvestment risk and lock in a rate of return to maturity.

           For federal tax purposes, the holder of a zero coupon bond is
required to accrue a portion of the discount at which the security was
purchased (or, in the case of a "pay-in-kind" security, the difference between
the issue price and the sum of all the amounts payable on redemption) as income
each year even though the holder of such a security receives no interest
payment on such security during the year. Since each Fund is a regulated
investment company, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), and
must distribute each year to its shareholders substantially all of its income
(including that which it must accrue and recognize with respect to any zero
coupon bonds and "pay-in-kind" securities in which it invests) in order to
comply with certain Code provisions, such distributions could reduce the amount
of cash available for investment by each Fund.

           PERCS. The Income and Equity Fund may invest up to 5% of its net
assets in Preference Equity Redemption Cumulative Stock, more commonly known as
PERCS. A PERCS is a preferred stock with an "out-of-the-money" call option
written by the purchaser of the PERCS to the issuer of the PERCS. Most PERCS
expire three years from the date of issue, at which time they are exchangeable
for the issuer's common stock or cash, at the option of the issuer. Under a
typical arrangement, if after three years the issuer's common stock is below
the call price established by the PERCS, each PERCS would convert to one share
of common stock. If however, the issuer's common stock is trading above the
call price, the holder of the PERCS would receive less than one full share of
common stock. The amount of that fractional share of common stock received by
the PERCS' holder is determined by dividing the call price of the PERCS by the
market price of the issuer's common stock. Some PERCS provide that they can be
called immediately if the issuer's common stock is trading at a specified level
or better. Investors, such as the Income and Equity Fund, that seek current
income find PERCS attractive because a PERCS provides a higher dividend income
than that paid with respect to a company's common stock.

           LYONS. The Income and Equity Fund may invest up to 5% of its net
assets in Liquid Yield Option Notes or LYONS. LYONS combine features commonly
associated with convertible bonds with those of zero coupon bonds. LYONS are
debt securities issued in zero coupon form (they are issued at a discount from
par and pay interest only at maturity). Like convertible bonds, LYONS may be
converted, upon payment of a conversion premium, into a fixed number of shares
of common stock at any time. LYONS also have a put feature which allows the
holder to redeem the LYONS at the initial offering price plus accredit interest
on specified dates, usually three to five years after a LYONS has been issued.
Upon exercise of a put, the holder of the LYONS may receive cash, common stock,
subordinated debt, or a combination thereof depending upon the type of LYONS.

           LYONS, if held to maturity (usually 15 to 20 years), provide a fixed
rate of return. If the conversion option is exercised, they offer the holder of
the LYONS the ability to participate in the potential growth of the value of
the underlying common stock. The put option feature of a LYON offers holders a
degree of liquidity. In addition, LYONS are also listed on national securities
exchanges, but there is no assurance that a secondary market for the LYONS will
exist.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

           Each Fund may, from time to time, purchase securities on a
"when-issued" basis. The price of such securities, which may be expressed in
yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is made, but
delivery and payment for the when-issued securities take place at a later date.
Normally, the settlement date occurs within one month of the purchase, but may
take up to four months. During the period between purchase and settlement, no
payment is made by a Fund to the issuer and no interest accrues to a Fund.
While when-issued securities may be sold prior to the settlement date, each
Fund intends to purchase such securities with the purpose of actually acquiring
them, unless a sale appears to be desirable for investment reasons. At the time
a Fund makes

                                      S-17

<PAGE>   63



the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, it will record
the transaction and reflect the value of the security in determining its net
asset value. Each Fund will maintain, in a segregated account with the
custodian, cash and liquid high-quality debt securities equal in value to
commitments for when-issued securities.

WARRANTS

           Warrants are securities that give the holder the right to purchase
equity securities from the issuer at a specific price (the "strike price") for
a limited period of time. The strike price of warrants typically is higher than
the prevailing market price of the underlying security at the time the warrant
is issued, while the market value of the warrant is typically much lower than
the current market price of the underlying securities. Warrants are generally
considered to be more risky investments than the underlying securities, but may
offer greater potential for capital appreciation than the underlying
securities.

           Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with
respect to the underlying securities and do not represent any rights in the
assets of the issuing company. Also, the value of the warrant does not
necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and a warrant
ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to the expiration date. These
factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.
Each Fund will limit its investment in warrants to no more than 5% of its net
assets, valued at the lower of cost or market value, and will further limit its
investment in unlisted warrants to no more than 2% of its net assets.

SECURITIES LOANS

           For purposes of realizing additional income, each Fund may make
secured loans of its portfolio securities amounting to no more than 30% of the
value of that Fund's total assets. Securities loans are made to broker-dealers
and other financial institutions approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company. Loans of securities by the Funds are made pursuant to agreements
requiring that the loans be continuously secured by collateral equal in value
at all times to the securities loaned, as marked-to-market on a daily basis.
The collateral received will consist of cash, U.S. Government Securities,
letters of credit or such other collateral as permitted by interpretations or
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and approved by the
Company's Board of Directors. While the securities are on loan, the Funds 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.

           Any loan of portfolio securities by any Fund will be allowable at
any time by the lending Fund upon notice of five business days. When voting or
consent rights which accompany loaned securities pass to the borrower, the
lending Fund will call the loan, in whole or in part as appropriate, to permit
the exercise of such rights if the matters involved would have a material
effect on that Fund's investment in the securities being loaned. If the
borrower fails to maintain the requisite amount of collateral, the loan will
automatically terminate, and the lending Fund will be permitted to use the
collateral to replace the securities while holding the borrower liable for any
excess of replacement cost over collateral. As with any extensions of credit,
there are risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery
of the securities or, in some cases, even loss of rights in the collateral
should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, these loans of
portfolio securities will be made only when the Company's Board of Directors
considers the borrowing broker-dealers or financial institutions to be
creditworthy and of good standing and when the Manager or a Fund's Adviser
believes that the interest earned from such loans justifies the attendant
risks. On termination of the loan, the borrower will be required to return the
securities lent to the lending Fund. Any gain or loss in the market price
during the loan would inure to the lending Fund. The lending Fund may pay
reasonable finders', administrative and custodial fees in connection with a
loan of its securities.


INVESTMENT IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

          The Government Securities Fund, the Balanced Fund and the Small Cap 
Fund may each invest in other

                                      S-18

<PAGE>   64



investment companies. Each Fund's investment in other investment companies is
limited in amount by the 1940 Act, so that each Fund may purchase shares in
another investment company unless (i) such a purchase would cause the Fund to
own, in the aggregate, more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of
the acquired company, (ii) such a purchase would cause the Fund to have more
than 5% of its total assets invested in one investment company, (iii) such a
purchase would cause the Fund to have more than 10% of its total assets
invested in all other investment companies in the aggregate, or (iv) all Funds
in the Company would own more than 10% of the total outstanding voting stock of
such registered investment company. Such investments may involve the payment of
substantial premiums above the value of such investment companies' portfolio
securities. In addition, the return from such an investment will be reduced by
the operating expenses and fees of such other investment companies, including
applicable advisory fees. Although each Fund, other than the Income and Equity
Fund, is permitted to invest in other investment companies, each Fund has no
current intention (i.e., in the next year) of so doing.



DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS AND FOREIGN SECURITIES

           Each of the Funds, as specified in its investment program, may
invest in foreign securities. Investments in foreign equity securities will be
made primarily through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs").
Certain Funds may also utilize European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs") and may
make direct market purchases of equity and fixed-income securities of foreign
issuers. ADRs are certificates issued by a U.S. bank or trust company and
represent the right to receive securities of a foreign issuer deposited in a
domestic bank or foreign branch of a U.S. bank and traded on a U.S. exchange or
in the over-the-counter ("OTC") securities market. EDRs are receipts issued in
Europe generally by a foreign bank or trust company that evidence ownership of
foreign or domestic securities. Generally, ADRs are in registered form and EDRs
are in bearer form. There are no fees imposed on the purchase or sale of ADRs
or EDRs during an initial public offering, although the issuing bank or trust
company may impose charges for the collection of dividends and the conversion
of ADRs or EDRs into the underlying securities. Investment in ADRs has certain
advantages over direct investment in the underlying foreign securities since
(i) ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated investments which are easily transferable
and for which market quotations are readily available, and (in) issuers whose
securities are represented by ADRs are subject to the same auditing, accounting
and financial reporting standards as domestic issuers. EDRs are not necessarily
denominated in the currency of the underlying security.

           Because the Funds may invest directly in certain foreign securities,
the Funds may be subject to risks that are different, in some respects, from
the risks associated with an investment in a mutual fund that invests only in
securities of domestic issuers. These risks include, among others, potential
adverse changes in currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations, as
well as potential social, economic, or political instability. In addition,
certain foreign securities and stock markets outside the U.S. are not as liquid
as their U.S. counterparts. Issuers of foreign securities are also subject to
different accounting, reporting, and disclosure requirements than those
applicable to domestic issuers and less reliable public information may be
available about such foreign securities. Further, foreign brokerage commissions
and custodian fees are generally higher than in the United States. In addition,
government restrictions in certain countries and other limitations on
investment may affect the maximum percentage of equity ownership in any one
company by a Fund. Moreover, in some countries, only special classes of
securities may be purchased by external investors and the price, liquidity, and
rights with respect to such securities may differ from those relating to shares
owned by nationals. In addition, there may also be the absence of developed
legal structures governing private or foreign investment or allowing for
judicial redress for injury to private property. As a result, the selection of
securities of foreign issuers may be more difficult and subject to greater
risks than investment in domestic issuers.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES

           The Balanced Fund and Small Cap Fund each may write covered put and
call options on securities and may purchase put and call options on securities.
Each Fund will only utilize options on securities that are exchange

                                      S-19

<PAGE>   65



traded.

           A call option is a contract that gives the purchaser thereof, during
the term of the option, the right to buy a specified amount of the security
underlying the call option at a fixed price (called the exercise or "strike"
price) upon exercise of the option. Conversely, a put option is a contract that
gives the purchaser thereof, during the term of the option, the right to sell a
specified amount of the security underlying the put option at the exercise
price upon exercise of the option.

           Through the writing of a covered call option, a Fund will receive
premium income but will also thereby obligate itself during the term of the
option, upon the exercise thereof, to sell to the purchaser of such option the
security underlying the option regardless of the market value of the security
during the option period. Through the writing of a covered put option, a Fund
will receive premium income but will also thereby obligate itself during the
term of the option, upon the exercise thereof, to purchase from the holder of
the put option the security underlying the option regardless of the market
value of the security during the option period.

           To "cover" a call option written, a Fund may, for example, identify
and make available for sale the specific portfolio security to which the option
relates or may establish a segregated asset account with the Company's
custodian, containing cash or liquid assets that, when added to amounts, if
any, deposited with its broker as margin, equal the market value of the
securities underlying the call option written. To cover a put option written, a
Fund may, for example, establish a segregated asset account with the Company's
custodian containing cash or liquid assets that, when added to amounts, if any,
deposited with its broker as margin, equal the market value of the securities
underlying the put option written.

           Each Fund may purchase put options on securities for defensive
purposes in order to hedge against an anticipated decline in the value of its
portfolio securities. Each Fund may purchase call options on securities to take
advantage of anticipated increases in the value of its portfolio securities. In
addition, each Fund may write put or call options on securities, for the
purpose of generating additional income, which may partially offset the effects
of adverse changes in the value of that Fund's portfolio securities.

           Although these investment practices will be used to generate
additional income and to attempt to reduce the effect of any adverse price
movement in the securities subject to the option, they do involve certain risks
that are different, in some respects, from the investment risks associated with
similar funds that do not engage in such activities. These risks include the
following: writing covered call options -- the inability to effect closing
transactions at favorable prices and the inability to participate in the
appreciation of the underlying securities above the exercise price, adjusted
for premiums received; writing covered put options -- the inability to effect
closing transactions at favorable prices and the obligation to purchase the
specified securities at prices which may not reflect their current market
values; and purchasing put and call options -- possible loss of the entire
premium paid if the option expires unexercised.

                                     TAXES

           Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company
("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Code. As such, it must meet the requirements
of Subchapter M of the Code, including the requirements regarding the source
and distribution of investment income and the diversification of investments.

           In general, to qualify as a RIC, at least 90% of the gross income of
each Fund for the taxable year must be derived from dividends, interest, and
gains from the sale or other disposition of securities.

           A RIC must distribute to its shareholders 90% of its ordinary income
and net short-term capital gains.

                                      S-20

<PAGE>   66


Moreover, undistributed net income must be subject to tax at the RIC level.

           In addition, each Fund must declare and distribute dividends each
year equal to at least 98% of its ordinary income (as of the twelve months
ended December 31) and distributions of at least 98% of its capital gains net
income (as of the twelve months ended October 31), in order to avoid a 4%
federal excise tax. Each Fund intends to make the required distributions, but
it cannot guarantee that it will do so. Dividends attributable to a Fund's
ordinary income are taxable as such to shareholders in the year in which they
are received.

           A corporate shareholder may be entitled to take a deduction for
income dividends received from a domestic corporation, provided that both the
corporate shareholder retains its shares in the applicable Fund for more than
45 days and the Fund retains its shares in the issuer from whom it received the
income dividends for more than 45 days. A dividend of capital gains net income
reflects the Fund's excess of net long-term gains over its net short-term
losses. Each Fund must designate which dividends are dividends of capital gains
net income and must notify shareholders of this designation within 60 days
after the close of the Fund's taxable year. A corporate shareholder of a Fund
cannot use a dividends-received deduction for these dividends.

           If, in any taxable year, a Fund should not qualify as a RIC under
the Code: (1) that Fund would be taxed at normal corporate rates on the entire
amount of its taxable income without deduction for dividends or other
distributions to its shareholders, and (2) that Fund's distributions to the
extent made out of that Fund's current or accumulated earnings and profits
would be taxable to its shareholders (other than shareholders in tax-deferred
accounts) as ordinary dividends (regardless of whether they would otherwise
have been considered capital gains dividends), and may qualify for the partial
deduction for dividends received by corporations.


                              OTHER CONSIDERATIONS


TRADE DATE PROCEDURES

           PURCHASING. If a purchase order is telephoned to PGIS before 4:00
p.m., New York time, the purchase order becomes effective as of 4:00 p.m., New
York time. If the purchase order is telephoned to PGIS after 4:00 p.m., New
York time, the purchase order becomes effective as of 4:00 p.m., New York time,
on the next business day.

           REDEEMING. If a request to sell shares (redemption) is received in
proper form prior to the determination of net asset value on any day, the
redemption is effective as of 4:00 p.m., New York time. If the request is
received after the net asset value is determined, the redemption is effective
as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the next business day.

           EXCHANGING. Shares of a Fund are exchanged for shares of other Funds
at net asset value next determined following receipt of the request in proper
form either by mail or telephone.

           REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Dividends and
distributions of each Fund are made on the payment date, the record date, or
such other date as the Board may determine. On the "ex-dividend" date, the net
asset value per share excludes the dividend (i.e., is reduced by the amount of
the dividend).

           TRANSACTIONS EFFECTED THROUGH CERTAIN AUTHORIZED DEALERS. The Company
has authorized certain brokers to accept purchase and redemption orders on the
Company's behalf. These brokers are authorized to designate other intermediaries
to accept purchase and redemption orders on the Company's behalf. If an order is
accepted by such a broker or authorized designee before 4:00 p.m., New York
time, the order become effective as of 4:00 p.m., New York time. If the order is
accepted after 4:00 p.m., New York time, the order becomes effective as of 4:00
p.m., New York time, on the next business day.

REDEMPTIONS

Each Fund intends to pay all redemptions of its shares in cash. However, each
Fund may make full or partial payment to shareholders of portfolio securities
of the applicable Fund (i.e., by redemption-in-kind), at the value

                                      S-21

<PAGE>   67



of such securities used in determining the redemption price. The Company,
nevertheless, pursuant to Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, has filed a
notification of election under which each Fund is committed to pay in cash to
any shareholder of record, all requests for redemption made by such shareholder
during any 90-day period, up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the applicable
Fund's net asset value at the beginning of such period. The securities to be
paid in-kind to any shareholders will be readily marketable securities selected
in such manner as the Company's Board deems fair and equitable. If shareholders
were to receive redemptions-in-kind, they would incur brokerage costs should
they wish to liquidate the portfolio securities received in such payment of
their redemption request. The Company does not anticipate making
redemptions-in-kind.


SUSPENSION OF REDEMPTIONS

           The right to redeem shares or to receive payment with respect to any
redemption of shares of the Funds may only be suspended (i) for any period
during which trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is restricted or
the NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (ii) for
any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of
securities or determination of the net asset value of the Funds is not
reasonably practicable, or (iii) for such other periods as the SEC may by order
permit for protection of shareholders of the Funds.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

           The Company has no obligation to do business with any broker-dealer
or group of broker-dealers in executing transactions in securities. In placing
orders, the Manager, Advisers and Co-Manager are subject to the Company's
policy to seek the best available price and most favorable execution taking
into account such factors as price (including the applicable commission or
dealer spread), size, type, and difficulty of the transaction, and the firm's
general execution and operating facilities. The Company has authorized the
Manager, Advisers and Co-Manager to pay higher commissions in recognition of
brokerage services which, in an Adviser's opinion, are necessary to achieve
best execution, provided the Manager, Adviser or Co-Manager believes this to be
in the best 


                                      S-22

<PAGE>   68


interest of the Fund. The Manager, Advisers and Co-Manager may also rank
broker-dealers based on the value of their research services and include such
ranking as a selection factor.

           The Manager, each Adviser and the Co-Manager, subject to seeking
best price and execution, is authorized to cause a Fund to pay broker-dealers
that furnish brokerage and research services (as deemed by Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")) a higher
commission than that charged by another broker-dealer that does not furnish
such brokerage and research services. The Manager, each Adviser and the
Co-Manager must regard such higher commissions as reasonable in relation to the
brokerage and research services provided, viewed in terms of the Manager's,
each Adviser's or the Co-Manager's responsibilities to the Funds or other
accounts, if any, as to which it exercises investment discretion.

           The Advisers' and the Co-Manager's other accounts may have
investment objectives and programs that are similar to those of the Funds they
advise. Accordingly, occasions may arise when an Adviser or Co-Manager engages
in simultaneous purchase and sale transactions of securities that are
consistent with the investment objectives and programs of the Fund it advises
and other accounts. On those occasions, the Advisers and Co-Manager will
allocate purchase and sale transactions in an equitable manner according to
written procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Such procedures may, in
particular instances, be either advantageous or disadvantageous to a Fund.

           The Distributor, a registered broker-dealer, may act as broker for
the Company, in conformity with the securities laws and rules thereunder. The
Distributor is a fully owned subsidiary of the Manager. In order for the
Distributor to effect any portfolio transactions for the Company on an exchange
or board of trade, the commissions received by it must be reasonable and fair
compared to the commissions paid to other brokers in connection with comparable
transactions involving similar securities or futures being purchased or sold on
an exchange or board of trade during a comparable period of time. This standard
would allow the Distributor to receive no more than the remuneration which
would be expected to be received by an unaffiliated broker in a commensurate
arm's-length transaction. The Company's Board of Directors has approved
procedures for evaluating the reasonableness of commissions paid to the
Distributor and periodically reviews these procedures. The Distributor will not
act as principal in effecting any portfolio transactions for the Company.

   
           For fiscal years ending December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the total
brokerage commissions paid by each Fund were, respectively, as follows:
Government Securities Fund, $4,682, $7,572 and $7,076; Income and Equity Fund,
$1,649, $757 and $2,157; Balanced Fund, $5,730, $5,093 and $8,126; and Small Cap
Fund, $60,048, $81,150 and $68,467. Of these amounts, no amounts were paid to
brokers that provided research and brokerage services. For fiscal year ending
December 31, 1997, brokerage commissions paid to the Distributor constituted
14.50% of all brokerage commissions paid by the Income and Equity Fund and
63.39% of all brokerage commissions paid by the Small Cap Fund.
    


VALUATION OF SECURITIES

           The assets of the Fund are valued as follows:

           COMMON STOCKS, PREFERRED STOCKS, AND CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCKS of
domestic issuers listed on national securities exchanges and certain
over-the-counter ("OTC") issues traded on the NASDAQ national market system are
valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of the NYSE. OTC issues not
quoted on the NASDAQ system and other equity securities for which no sale price
is available, are valued at the last bid price as obtained from published
sources (including Quotron), where available, and otherwise from brokers who
are market makers for such securities.

           SHORT-TERM DEBT INSTRUMENTS WITH A REMAINING MATURITY OF 60 DAYS OR
LESS are valued on a amortized cost basis. When a security is valued at
amortized cost, it is valued at its cost when purchased and thereafter by
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.


                                      S-23

<PAGE>   69


           SHORT-TERM DEBT INSTRUMENTS WITH A REMAINING MATURITY OF MORE THAN
60 DAYS, BONDS, CONVERTIBLE BONDS, AND OTHER DEBT SECURITIES are generally
valued at prices obtained from a bond pricing service. Where such prices are
not available, valuations will be obtained from brokers who are market makers
for such securities. However, in circumstances where the Manager deems it
appropriate to do so, the mean of the bid and asked prices for OTC securities
or the last available sale price for exchange traded debt securities may be
used. Where no last sale price for exchange traded debt securities is
available, the mean of the bid and asked prices may be used.

           FOREIGN SECURITIES primarily traded on foreign securities exchanges
are generally valued at the preceding closing value of such security on the
exchange where they are primarily traded. A foreign security that is listed or
traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange
determined to be the primary market for such security by the Board of Directors
or its delegates. If no closing price is available, then such security is
valued first by using the mean between the last current bid and asked prices
or, second, by using the last available closing price. All foreign securities
traded in the OTC securities market are valued at the last sales quote, if
market quotations are available, or the last closing bid price, if there is no
active trading in a particular security for a given day. Where market
quotations are not readily available for such foreign OTC securities, then such
securities will be valued in good faith by a method that the Board of
Directors, or its delegates, believes accurately reflects fair value.

           OPTIONS are valued at the last sale price on the market where any
such option is principally traded, or, if no sale occurs on the applicable
exchange on a given day, the option will be valued at the average of the quoted
bid and asked prices as of the close of the applicable exchange.

           OTHER SECURITIES AND ASSETS for which market quotations are not
readily available or for which valuation cannot be provided, as described
above, are valued at fair value in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors using its best judgment.

           The net asset value of shares of each Fund is normally calculated as
of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, currently 4:00 pm., New York time,
on every day the NYSE is open for trading, except on days where both (i) the
degree of trading in a Fund's portfolio securities would not materially affect
the net asset value of that Fund's shares and (ii) no shares of a Fund were
tendered for redemption or no purchase order was received. The NYSE is open

                                    APPENDIX

                     DESCRIPTION OF CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

           The ratings of certain debt instruments in which the Funds may
invest are described below.

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. - BOND RATINGS

           Aaa--Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to
as "gilt-edge". Interest payments are protected by a large or by an
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are
not likely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

           Aa--Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of 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, fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude, or there may be other elements
present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa
securities.

           A--Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper medium-grade obligations. 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--Bonds which are rated Baa are considered to be 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--Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative
elements, and their future cannot be considered as 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--Bonds which are rated 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.


STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION - BOND RATINGS

           AAA--Debt rated "AAA" has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

           AA--Debt rated "AA" has a very strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal and differs from the highest-rated issues only in small degree.

           A--Debt rated "A" has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher-rated
categories.

           BBB--Debt rated "BBB" is regarded as having an adequate capacity to
pay interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing

                                      S-25

<PAGE>   71


circumstances are more likely to lead to weakened capacity to pay interest and
repay principal for debt in this category than for debt in higher-rated
categories.

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

Item 27.      Indemnification

       (a)    General.  The Company will indemnify any individual    
              ("Indemnitee") who is a present or former director,
              officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or who is or has 
              been serving at the request of the Company as a director,
              officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another
              corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
              enterprise, who, by reason of his service in that capacity, was,
              is, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
              pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
              criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter
              collectively referred to as a "Proceeding") against any
              judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses
              (including attorney's fees) incurred by such Indemnitee in
              connection with any Proceeding, to the fullest extent that such
              indemnification may be lawful under the Maryland General
              Corporation Law. Except as otherwise set forth in the Company's
              Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, any payment of
              indemnification or advance of expenses will be made in accordance
              with the procedures set forth in the Maryland General Corporation
              Law. [By-Laws, Article 10, Section 10.01]

       (b)    Disabling Conduct. The Company will not indemnify any
              Indemnitee against any liability to which he would otherwise be
              subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
              negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
              conduct of his office (such conduct hereinafter referred to as
              "Disabling Conduct").

                                      C-5

<PAGE>   77


                    Accordingly, the Company will make no indemnification of any
              Indemnitee unless: (1) there is a final decision on the merits by
              a court or other body before whom the Proceeding was brought that
              the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct; or
              (2) in the absence of such a decision, there is a reasonable
              determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the
              Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, which
              determination is made by: (a) the vote of a majority of a quorum
              of directors who are neither interested persons of the Company
              nor parties to the Proceeding (hereinafter referred to as
              "disinterested non-party directors") or (b) independent legal
              counsel in a written opinion. [By-Laws, Article 10, Section
              10.01]

       (c)    Standard of Conduct.  Under Maryland General Corporation Law, a 
              corporation may indemnify any director made a party to a
              Proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is
              proved that: (1) the act or omission of the director was material
              to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding and (a) was
              committed in bad faith, or (b) was the result of active and
              deliberate dishonesty; or (2) the director actually received an
              improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or (3)
              in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had
              reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was
              unlawful. [MGCL Section 2-418(b)]

                   Under Maryland General Corporation Law, the termination of 
              any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create
              a presumption that the director did not meet the requisite
              standard of conduct; however, the termination of any proceeding
              by conviction, or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or
              an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, will create
              a rebuttable presumption that the director did not meet the
              requisite standard of conduct. No indemnification may be made
              under Maryland General Corporation Law unless authorized for a
              specific proceeding after a determination has been made that
              indemnification of the director is permissible in the
              circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
              conduct required. [MGCL Section 2-418 (b) and (c)]

       (d)    Required Indemnification.  The Maryland General Corporation Law 
              requires that a director who is successful, on the merits or
              otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding be indemnified
              against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in
              connection therewith. In addition, under Maryland General
              Corporation Law, a court of appropriate jurisdiction may order
              indemnification under certain circumstances. [MGCL Section
              2-418(d)]

       (e)    Advance Payment.  The Company will pay any reasonable expenses so
              incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding in advance of
              the final disposition thereof to the fullest extent that such
              advance payment may be lawful under the Maryland General
              Corporation Law. However, any advance of expenses by the

                                      C-6

<PAGE>   78


              Corporation to any Indemnitee will be made only upon receipt of:
              (1) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of his good faith
              belief that the requisite standard of conduct necessary for
              indemnification under the Maryland General Corporation Law has
              been met, and (2) a written undertaking by the Indemnitee to
              repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such
              standard of conduct has not been met; provided that either (a)
              the Indemnitee provides a security for his undertaking, or (b)
              the Company is insured against losses arising by reason of any
              such lawful advances, or (c) a majority of a quorum of the
              disinterested non-party directors, or independent legal counsel
              in a written opinion, determines, based on a review of readily
              available facts, that there is reason to believe that the
              Indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
              [By-Laws, Article 10, Section 10.02]

       (f)    Non-Exclusive Right. The indemnification and advancement of
              expenses provided or authorized by Maryland General Corporation
              Law is not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a
              director may be entitled under any articles of incorporation,
              by-law, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement, or
              otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to
              action in another capacity while holding such office. [MGCL
              Section 2-418(g)]

       (g)    Insurance.  The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on 
              its behalf and on behalf of any director, officer, employee, or 
              agent of the Company, or who is or was serving at the request of
              the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, 
              or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
              joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability
              asserted against him and incurred by him in or arising out of his
              position, whether or not the Company would have the power to
              indemnify him against such liability. [By-Laws, Article 10,
              Section 10.03]

       (f)    Public Policy Presumption under the Securities Act of 1933
              (the "1933 Act") and Undertaking Pursuant to Rule 484(b)(1) under
              the 1933 Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
              under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and
              controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the Company's
              By-Laws or otherwise, the Company has been advised that, in the
              opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
              indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933
              Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
              for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
              payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
              director, officer, or controlling person of the Company in the
              successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is
              asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
              connection with the securities being registered, then the Company
              will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
              settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of
              appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether indemnification
              by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and

                                      C-7

<PAGE>   79

              will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. [1933
              Act, Rule 484(b)]

                          EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT


        AMENDMENT TO EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT, made as of the 1st day of
January, 1998, by and between Pacific Global Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation
doing business as Pacific Advisors Fund Inc. (the "Corporation"), on behalf of
the Balanced Fund (the "Fund"), and Pacific Global Investment Management
Company, a California corporation (the "Investment Manager").


                              W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, the Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, and the Investment
Manager have entered into an Investment Management Agreement, dated October 16,
1992, pursuant to which the Investment Manager will render investment management
and advisory services to the Fund for compensation based on the value of the
average daily net assets of the Fund; and


        WHEREAS, the Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, and the Investment
Manager have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement, made as of the 17th
day of November, 1997 (the "Expense Limitation Agreement"), pursuant to which
the Investment Manager has agreed, among other things, to reduce its investment
advisory fee for certain periods of time; and

        WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Investment Manager have determined that
it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to
maintain Fund expenses at a level below the level to which the Fund would
normally be subject during its start-up period.

        NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.              Paragraph 1 of the Expense Limitation Agreement is hereby
        amended to read as follows:

                During the Fund's fiscal years ending December 31, 1997, and
        December 31, 1998, the Investment Manager will reduce its investment
        advisory fee by a percentage equal to the investment management fee rate
        paid to the Fund's sub-adviser, which currently equals 0.40% of average
        daily net assets. In addition, for the Fund's fiscal quarter ending
        March 31, 1997, the Investment Manager has waived the remainder of its
        investment advisory fee. At any time upon 30 days' notice to the Fund,
        the Investment Manager may terminate its obligations hereunder to make
        fee waivers.

2.              This Amendment shall not change any other term or provision of
        the Expense Limitation Agreement and such other terms and provisions
        shall remain in full force

<PAGE>   2
        and effect.

3.              Except as otherwise stated herein, capitalized terms used herein
        shall have the meaning set forth in the Expense Limitation Agreement.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be signed
by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized and their respective
corporate seals to be herewith affirmed, as of the day and year first above
written.
