<TABLE>
<S>                      <C>
INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVE:               High current income, preservation of capital, and rising future income, consistent with prudent
                         investment risk.
 
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES INCLUDE:      - Investing primarily in U.S. government fixed income securities.
 
                         - Investing in zero-coupon bonds, foreign securities (primarily through American Depositary
                           Receipts ("ADRs"), and high quality money-market securities.
 
                         - Investing in dividend paying stocks. If we invest more than 25% of the Fund's total assets in
                           stocks, we concentrate our stock holdings in high quality public utility stocks.
 
                         - Using a proprietary timing model to try to predict whether interest rates will go up or down.
                           We tend to invest a higher proportion of the Fund's assets in short-term bonds when we
                           believe interest rates will rise, and a higher proportion in longer-term bonds when we
                           believe interest rates will fall.
 
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT
RISKS:                   - BOND PRICES ARE AFFECTED BY INTEREST RATES. Bond prices generally decline when interest rates
                           rise and rise when interest rates fall. Longer-term debt and zero-coupon bonds are more
                           sensitive to interest rate changes than are debt instruments with shorter maturities.
 
                         - FOREIGN SECURITIES, INCLUDING ADRS, CARRY DIFFERENT RISKS THAN DOMESTIC SECURITIES. Adverse
                           political, economic, social or other conditions in a foreign country may make the stocks of
                           that country difficult or impossible to sell. Investments in foreign securities are also
                           subject to currency fluctuations.

                         - STOCK PRICES MAY FLUCTUATE MORE THAN OTHER SECURITIES. Stock prices can decline significantly
                           in response to adverse market conditions, company-specific events, and other domestic and
                           international developments. Because this Fund may have a significant stock component, it may
                           be more subject to this risk than other government securities funds. We try to reduce this
                           risk by buying stocks of companies that have established operating histories, strong or
                           improving balance sheets, and growth potential.
 
                         - PUBLIC UTILITIES STOCKS may be affected by environmental conditions, energy conservation
                           programs, fuel shortages, and federal, state, and local legislative and regulatory actions.
 
                         INCOME AND EQUITY FUND
 
INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVE:               Current income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation.
 
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES INCLUDE:      - Investing primarily in high quality U.S. corporate bonds and in dividend paying stocks.
 
                         - Investing in U.S. government securities, zero-coupon bonds, and high quality money-market
                           securities.
 
                         - Investing a majority of the Fund's assets in fixed income securities while the general level
                           of interest rates exceeds the dividend yields available on common stock. Investing a higher
                           proportion of the Fund's assets in stocks when the economic outlook is favorable.
 
                         - Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and prospects, and of
                           economic conditions, in evaluating stocks. We focus on total return in selecting stocks.

                           developments. We try to reduce this risk by buying stocks of companies that have established

                         BALANCED FUND
 
INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVE:               Long-term capital appreciation and income consistent with reduced risk.
 
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES INCLUDE:      - Investing in a flexible mix of common stocks, dividend paying stocks, and high quality fixed
                           income securities. When the economy appears to be growing and strong, we tend to invest a
                           higher proportion of the Fund's assets in stocks; when the economy appears to be contracting
                           or weak, we tend to invest a higher proportion in fixed income securities.
 
                         - Usually weighting the portfolio toward stocks. The Fund's stocks will consist primarily of
                           companies with market capitalization over $500 million.
 
                         - Investing at least 25% of the Fund's assets in fixed income securities and preferred stocks.
 
                         - Evaluating economic and market conditions, price trends, and expected returns. We use a
                           combination of fundamental and technical analysis in selecting which stocks to buy.

                         - GROWTH STOCKS CAN PERFORM DIFFERENTLY. Growth stocks can perform differently than the market
                           as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.
 
                         SMALL CAP FUND
 
INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVE:               Capital appreciation through investment in small market capitalization companies.
 
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES INCLUDE:      - Investing in small, growing companies, primarily companies with market capitalizations under
                           $500 million. We generally invest a significant proportion of the Fund's assets in companies
                           with market capitalizations under $200 million.
 
                         - Identifying growth companies with unique or proprietary advantages in their industries and
                           strong earnings growth potential.

RISKS:                   - STOCK PRICES MAY FLUCTUATE MORE THAN OTHER SECURITIES. Stock prices can decline significantly
                           in response to adverse market conditions, company-specific events, and other domestic and

                         - SMALL CAP STOCKS MAY BE MORE VOLATILE. Investing in small capitalization companies generally
                           involves greater risks than investing in larger companies. They may be more difficult to buy
                           and sell, and more sensitive to market changes, than larger market capitalization securities.
 
                         GENERAL INVESTMENT RISKS
 
                         - THE VALUE OF THE FUNDS' INVESTMENTS VARY FROM DAY TO DAY. The value of the Funds' assets
                           generally reflect market conditions, changes in interest rates, company-specific events, and
                           other domestic and international developments.
 
                         - LOSS OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. As with all mutual funds, one risk of investing in these
                           Funds is that you could lose your entire investment. When you sell your shares, they may be
                           worth more or less than you paid for them.
 
                         - NO GUARANTEES. We cannot guarantee we will reach our goals.
 
                         - NO FDIC OR OTHER PROTECTION. Our shares are not insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve
                           Board, or any other government agency.

HOW WE REDUCE RISKS      In all of our Funds we may use strategies that try to reduce risks. One way is that most of the
                         securities the Funds own are relatively liquid, which helps us protect your investment and make
                         quick investment decisions. Another way is that sometimes we may sell some core investments and
                         temporarily invest in high quality, money market securities which are low risk, high liquid
                         investments. This may help protect against temporary changes in the investment markets due to
                         economic, political or other adverse conditions. However, if a Fund makes temporary defensive
                         investments, it may not meet its investment objective.
 
IMPORTANT TERMS TO
KNOW IN THIS
PROSPECTUS               "Liquidity" -- refers to the ease of selling an investment for cash. A highly liquid investment
                         is easy to sell. An illiquid investment is difficult to sell.
 
                         "Market capitalization" or "capitalization" -- means the number of shares available for trading
                         multiplied by the price per share.
 
                         "Quality" -- means the credit rating given to a security by a nationally recognized rating
                         organization.
 
                         "Investment grade" -- means the security has been rated high quality by a nationally recognized
                         rating organization.

PAST PERFORMANCE

- --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   
We have provided the chart and tables below to give you some indication of the
risks of investing in our Funds by showing changes in the Fund's performance
from year to year (the risk/return bar chart); by showing each Fund's best and
worst quarterly performance since it began operations (the quarterly returns
table); and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for the periods
shown compared with a broad measure of market performance (the risk return
table). There is no information for the Growth Fund because it began operations
on May 3, 1999.
    
 
A Fund's past performance is not necessarily indicative of how it will perform
in the future.

WAIVING FEES TO KEEP COSTS DOWN
   
Pacific Global Investment Management Company ("PGIMC") is waiving fees and/or
absorbing or reimbursing expenses in amounts necessary to keep the total Fund
operating expenses of certain Funds from rising above preset percentages of
average net assets, as follows:
    
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                          CLASS A  CLASS C
<S>                                       <C>      <C>
    Government Securities Fund             1.65%    2.40%
    Income and Equity Fund                 1.85%    2.60%
    Growth Fund                            2.50%    3.25%
</TABLE>
 
   
PGIMC will reduce its management fees for the Balanced Fund by 0.40% of average
daily net assets for both Class A and Class C shares. Net of this fee reduction,
the Balanced Fund's total fund operating expenses are 3.48% for Class A shares
and 4.29% for Class C shares. Hamilton & Bache ("H&B") is also participating in
the expense limitation arrangements for the Income and Equity Fund. Pacific
Global Investor Services, Inc. ("PGIS"), our transfer agent, has also agreed to
waive its fees on the Class C shares of the Government Securities and the Income
and Equity Funds to the extent necessary to keep the costs at or below the
limits shown above. PGIMC is not waiving or reducing fees or reimbursing
expenses for the Small Cap Fund. We may end or change the fee waiver or expense
reimbursement arrangements on any Fund with 90 days' notice.
    
 
   
Except for the Growth Fund, a Fund may reimburse PGIMC and/or H&B for fees so
waived and expenses so assumed, and for fees waived and expenses assumed in past
years with respect to the Funds, 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. We will determine any such
reimbursement payments separately for each Fund and Class of shares. If such
reimbursement were paid, it would cause the relevant 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 and any fees waived or
expenses assumed with respect to the Growth Fund will not be reimbursed.

EXAMPLE
    
 
   
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in our Funds
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes you invest
$10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses
remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
these assumptions, your costs would be as follows. (These costs do not reflect
the expense reimbursement and fee waiver arrangements described in the footnotes
to the fee table.)

</TABLE>
 
   
The Example reflects that you pay a sales charge when you buy Class A shares.
You pay no sales charge when you buy Class C shares. You may, however, pay a
contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if you buy Class C shares and sell
them within one year. The Class C shares have higher ongoing expenses than the
Class A shares and may end up costing you more if you hold them for longer
periods of time.
    
 
   
Account fees are not included in these figures. If they were included, your
costs would be higher. This example is not an indication of past or future
expenses or performance.

SALES CHARGES AND 12B-1 FEES
    
 
   
TWO CLASSES OF SHARES
    
   
We offer two types of shares in our Funds: Class A shares and Class C shares.
This prospectus offers both. Consider buying:
    
 
   
- - CLASS A SHARES if you are a longer-term investor or have smaller amounts to
  invest. There is a sales charge when you buy these shares, but there is no
  minimum investment and the ongoing fees are lower than Class C shares.
    
 
   
- - CLASS C SHARES if you are a shorter-term investor with more money to invest.
  There is no sales charge when you buy these shares, but there may be a sales
  charge when you sell them. You must invest a minimum of $10,000 and the
  ongoing fees are higher than Class A shares.
    
 
SALES CHARGES FOR CLASS A SHARES
                          The offering price of Class A shares includes the

HOW CAN YOU REDUCE SALES CHARGES?
 
INCREASE THE AMOUNT YOU INVEST. As the Class A sales charge table shows, the
more you invest, the lower the sales charge.
 
COMBINE YOUR PURCHASES. You can lower your sales charge by simultaneously
investing in several accounts, or two or more Funds (excluding the money market
Funds). For example, if you invest $25,000 in Class A shares of one Fund and
$25,000 in Class A shares of another Fund at the same time, the sales charge
will be based on a $50,000 purchase. You may also claim this discount by
combining purchases in related accounts, such as an account in the name of your
spouse or minor children. To get this discount, you must notify PGIS in writing
at the time of purchase.
 
CLAIM A RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION. You may lower your sales charge by combining the
amounts you invest over a specified period of time. PGIS must be notified in
writing at the time each order is placed that the purchases should be combined.
Remember to include your account number(s) on your request.
 
SIGN A LETTER OF INTENT. A letter of intent means you intend to buy a specific
amount of Class A shares over a thirteen-month period. You must first complete a
letter of intent and submit it to PGIS for approval. The initial purchase must
be at least 5% of your intended total. Please include all account numbers and
other requested information with each payment and indicate that a letter of
intent is on file. The letter of intent may cover purchases made up to 90 days
before PGIS receives and accepts it.
 
Your sales charges will be based on the intended total purchases over the
thirteen-month period. Until you reach that total, however, we will take an
amount of Class A shares from your account equal to the maximum possible sales
charge, and hold them in escrow. If you do not reach your intended goal on
schedule, we will sell the escrowed shares and use the proceeds to pay the
higher sales charge.
 
   
WE MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SELLING YOUR SHARES. We will deduct a contingent
deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from your sale proceeds if you buy more than $1
million of Class A shares and sell them within 18 months, or if you buy Class C
shares and sell them within one year. The fee will be 1% of the purchase or sale
price, whichever is less. If you buy Class C shares, exchange them for Reserve
Fund shares, and sell them within one year of purchasing the Class C shares, you
will be charged the CDSC. The CSDC will be the lesser of 1% of (a) the purchase
price of the Class C shares you exchanged for Reserve Fund Shares, or (b) the
sale price of those Class C shares as of the date of the exchange. We reserve
the right to waive the CDSC at our discretion.
    
 
   
WE MAY WAIVE THE SALES CHARGE. We may offer Class A shares without a sales
charge, under certain circumstances, to our employees and their families or to
other
    
 
                                                                              15

individuals who have business relationships with us or certain other investment
professionals. We reserve the right to change this policy at any time.
    
 
   
RULE 12B-1 FEES.
    
   
Each Fund has adopted a plan under Rule 12b-1 that allows the Fund to pay an
asset-based fee for distribution expenses and shareholder services. The Funds
pay only a service fee on Class A shares. The Funds pay both a service and
distribution fee on Class C shares. The maximum 12b-1 fees are:
    
 
   
<TABLE>

                                          CLASS A   CLASS C

12b-1 distribution fees                   0.00%     0.75%
</TABLE>
    
 
   
Because these fees are paid out of each Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over
time these fees will increase the cost of your investment; and the distribution
fee on Class C shares may cost you more than paying other types of sales
charges.

                        GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND
 
   
<TABLE>
<S>                      <C>
INVESTMENT               This Fund seeks to provide high current income,
OBJECTIVE:               preservation of capital, and rising future income,
                         consistent with prudent investment risk.
 
IS THIS FUND FOR         This Fund is for investors looking first, to earn
YOU?                     current income that could increase over time, and
                         second, to protect the value of the money they invest.
 
WHAT DO WE INVEST        We usually invest at least 65% of the Fund's assets in
IN?                      U.S. government fixed income securities. We may also
                         buy zero-coupon bonds, dividend paying stocks, ADRs,
                         and high quality money market securities. We may invest
                         up to 25% in common stocks and fixed income securities
                         of foreign issuers. Investment in common stocks of
                         foreign issuers will be made primarily through the use
                         of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), although
                         direct market purchases also may be made. For temporary
                         defensive purposes, we may invest without limitation in
                         high quality money market instruments. If we make
                         defensive investments, we may not meet this Fund's
                         investment objective.
 
HOW DO WE MAKE           Our overall strategy is to focus on U.S. government
INVESTMENT               securities because they are low risk, of high intrinsic
DECISIONS?               value, and relatively liquid. We use a proprietary
                         timing model that tries to predict whether interest
                         rates will go up or down. The allocation of the Fund's
                         assets to long-, intermediate-, or short-term
                         maturities will depend on our adviser's evaluation of
                         market patterns and economic conditions. We tend to
                         invest in a higher proportion of short-term bonds when
                         we believe interest rates will rise, and in a higher
                         proportion of longer-term bonds when we believe
                         interest rates will fall.
 
                         To increase the Fund's income, we may invest in
                         dividend paying stocks, primarily high quality public
                         utility stocks, that seem likely to increase their
                         dividends over time. When more than 25% of the Fund's
                         total assets are invested in stocks, we concentrate
                         holdings in high quality public utility stocks. In a
                         declining interest rate environment, we purchase public
                         utility stocks because their potential for capital
                         appreciation complements our investments in long-term
                         bonds.

                         securities prices, while seeking to reduce the risk of
                         price fluctuations.
 
WHAT DO WE INVEST        We usually invest at least 65% of the Fund's assets in
IN?                      U.S. corporate fixed income securities and dividend
                         paying stocks. The Fund's fixed income investments will
                         be primarily investment grade; no more than 5% of the
                         Fund's assets may be invested in below investment grade
                         fixed income securities. Subject to that limit, if the
                         ratings for investment grade securities held by the
                         Fund fall below investment grade, the Fund will not be
                         obligated to sell such securities if, in the opinion of
                         the Fund's Manager and Co-Manager, continuing to hold
                         these securities is considered appropriate under the
                         circumstances. We may also buy U.S. government
                         securities and high quality money market securities.
                         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. While
                         it is not a principal investment strategy, the Fund
                         also may invest in zero coupon bonds and foreign
                         securities (primarily through ADRs), as described in
                         the SAI. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may
                         invest without limitation in high quality money market
                         securities. If we make temporary defensive investments,
                         we may not meet this Fund's investment objective.

HOW DO WE MAKE           Our overall strategy is to focus on a core group of
INVESTMENT               corporate fixed income securities that we consider to
DECISIONS?               be low risk, of high intrinsic value and relatively
                         liquid. The mix of our investments will vary from time
                         to time based on our assessment of business, economic,
                         and investment conditions. However, fixed income
                         securities generally will comprise the majority of the
                         Fund's total assets, as long as the general level of
                         interest rates exceeds the dividend yields available on
                         common stock. In selecting stocks, we focus on the
                         overall return, not yield alone. When the economic
                         outlook is favorable, we tend to increase the
                         proportion of our investments in stocks. When it is
                         less favorable, we tend to decrease the proportion of
                         our investments in stocks. In evaluating stocks, we may
                         consider the following factors: above average earnings
                         growth potential; sound balance sheets and other
                         financial characteristics; quality of management; and
                         growth of dividends.

OBJECTIVES:              appreciation and income consistent with reduced risk.
 
IS THIS FUND FOR         This Fund is for investors looking to combine long-term
YOU?                     growth, current income, and liquidity, while seeking to
                         reduce the risk of price fluctuations.
 
WHAT DO WE INVEST        We usually invest in a flexible combination of stocks,
IN?                      investment grade U.S. corporate fixed income
                         securities, and high quality money market securities or
                         money market funds. The Fund's portfolio usually is
                         weighted toward stocks. The Fund's stocks will consist
                         primarily of companies with market capitalization over
                         $500 million. The equity securities in which the Fund
                         invests may be listed on a national securities exchange
                         or traded in an established OTC market. At least 25% of
                         the Fund's assets, however, must always be invested in
                         fixed income securities and preferred stocks. While it
                         is not a principal investment strategy, the Fund also
                         may invest in U.S. government securities and foreign
                         securities (primarily through ADRs), as described in
                         the SAI.
 
                         Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to
                         25% of its total assets in high quality money market
                         securities and money market funds. For temporary
                         defensive purposes, however, the Fund may invest up to
                         60% of its total assets in money market securities. If
                         we make temporary defensive investments, we may not

INVESTMENT               This Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation through
OBJECTIVE:               investment in small market capitalization companies.
 
IS THIS FUND FOR         This Fund is for investors who want to profit from
YOU?                     rising stock prices. It is generally for more
                         aggressive stock investors, who want to invest in
                         small, growing companies.
 
WHAT DO WE INVEST        We invest at least 65% of our assets in stocks of small
IN?                      capitalization companies (under $500 million), often
                         referred to as "emerging growth" companies and "micro
                         cap" stocks. A significant portion of our portfolio
                         generally consists of stocks of companies whose market
                         capitalization is below $200 million.
 
HOW DO WE MAKE           We focus on companies with unique characteristics or
INVESTMENT               proprietary advantages in their industry that may give
DECISIONS?               them opportunities for above-average increases in sales
                         and profits. We also look for companies which have
                         strong earnings growth potential and that, we believe,
                         are less likely to be affected than most companies by
                         changes in the economy.
 
SMALL CAP STOCKS MAY     Investing in small capitalization companies generally
BE MORE VOLATILE.        involves greater risks than investing in larger
                         companies. For example, small companies may have
                         limited product lines, markets, or financial and
                         management resources. These stocks may trade less
                         frequently, in smaller volume, and experience greater
                         volatility. They may also be more difficult to buy and
                         sell, and may be more sensitive to market changes than
                         larger market capitalization securities.

EQUITY SECURITIES.       This includes common stocks, preferred stocks,
                         convertible securities, and warrants. Common stocks
                         represent an ownership interest in a corporation.
                         Although historically, stocks as an asset class
                         generally have shown long-term growth in value, in the
                         short term their prices rise and fall based on changes
                         in an individual company's financial condition and
                         overall market and economic conditions. The stock
                         prices of smaller companies, such as the companies in
                         which the Small Cap Fund principally invests, can be
                         particularly volatile.
 
CASH RESERVES AND        Each Fund may purchase U.S. dollar denominated money
REPURCHASE               market instruments. The Funds will only buy high
AGREEMENTS.              quality securities rated within the two highest credit
                         categories by any NRSRO or, if not rated, of comparable
                         quality as determined by the manager or the Fund's
                         adviser, as appropriate. The types of money market
                         instruments that the Funds may buy 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.
 
REPURCHASE               In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security at
AGREEMENTS.              one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at
                         a higher price. The Funds' repurchase agreements will
                         be fully collateralized. Nevertheless, if the other
                         party defaults or becomes insolvent, the Fund could
                         suffer a loss or a delay in repayment.
 
                                                                              23

FIXED INCOME             Fixed income securities include bonds, debentures, and
SECURITIES.              other debt instruments issued by companies to borrow
                         money from investors. Issuers generally pay the
                         investor a fixed, variable, or floating rate of
                         interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at
                         maturity. Some debt instruments, such as zero coupon
                         bonds, do not pay current interest, but are sold at a
                         discount from their face value.
 
BOND PRICES.             Bond prices generally decline when interest rates rise,
                         and rise when interest rates fall. Longer-term debt and
                         zero coupon bonds are more sensitive to interest rate
                         changes than are debt instruments with shorter
                         maturities.
 
THE MARKET VALUE OF      High grade debt instruments are rated at least A or its
DEBT INSTRUMENTS         equivalent by any NRSRO or are unrated debt instruments
ALSO REFLECT             of equivalent quality. The issuers of high grade debt
THE CREDIT QUALITY       instruments are considered to have a very strong
OF THE ISSUER.           capacity to pay principal and interest. Investment
                         grade debt instruments are rated at least Baa or its
                         equivalent by any NRSRO or are unrated debt instruments
                         of equivalent quality. Baa rated securities are
                         considered to have adequate capacity to pay principal
                         and interest, although they also have speculative
                         characteristics. Lower rated debt securities are more
                         likely to be adversely affected by changes in economic
                         conditions than are higher rated debt securities.
 
FOREIGN SECURITIES.      Each Fund, as specified in its investment program, may
                         invest in foreign securities. Investments in foreign
                         securities involve certain risks that differ from the
                         risks of investing in domestic securities. Adverse
                         political, economic, social or other conditions in a
                         foreign country may make the stocks of that country
                         difficult or impossible to sell. It is more difficult
                         to obtain reliable information about some foreign
                         securities. The costs of investing in some foreign
                         markets may be higher than domestic costs. Investments
                         in foreign securities also are subject to currency
                         fluctuations. To seek to reduce these risks, we
                         sometimes invest in foreign securities through ADRs.
                         ADRs are certificates deposited with a U.S. bank that
                         represent the right to own a foreign security. Since
                         ADRs are traded in U.S. markets and the issuers are
                         subject to the same auditing, accounting and financial
                         reporting standards as domestic securities, owning ADRs
                         has advantages over owning other foreign securities.

DIVERSIFICATION.         In order to maintain the diversity of each Fund's
                         portfolio and reduce risk, each Fund has adopted the
                         following as a fundamental investment policy: Each
                         Fund, with respect to 75% of its assets, will not
                         invest more than 5% of its total assets in any one
                         issuer and will not purchase more than 10% of the
                         outstanding voting securities of such issuer. A Fund
                         may not change this policy unless its shareholders
                         approve.
 
YEAR 2000 ISSUE.         In the past, many computer programs used two digits to
                         identify a year. If that programming is not changed,
                         many computer applications and systems could
                         misinterpret dates after December 31, 1999, resulting
                         in errors or failures. A computer failure at a mutual
                         fund or its service providers could impair the fund's
                         operations, including pricing, securities trading, and
                         shareholder services.
 
                         Our goal is to provide uninterrupted high quality
                         service to our shareholders. To this end, the manager
                         and its affiliates have reviewed their internal
                         computer systems for Year 2000 problems. We believe
                         that our systems do not suffer from Year 2000
                         programming problems and will remain operational after
                         December 31, 1999.
 
                         We note, however, that we do business with many other
                         brokerage firms and other companies whose computer
                         systems may be affected by Year 2000 problems. Problems
                         with their systems may also affect our operations. To
                         try to assess the likelihood of that possibility, we
                         have contacted our major business partners and believe
                         that they are taking steps to avoid Year 2000 problems
                         with their own internal systems. Nevertheless, it is
                         possible that our operations could be interrupted by a
                         Year 2000 problem at another company. In that event, we
                         will make every reasonable effort to correct the
                         problem and implement alternative arrangements if
                         necessary. It is also possible that a Fund's
                         performance could be harmed if a computer system
                         failure at a company or government unit affected the
                         price of its securities that were owned by a Fund.

UNDERSTANDING EARNINGS AND TAXES
- ---------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   
It is important for you to know what kind of income you will receive and its tax
consequences. This discussion, however, does not explain all federal, state, and
local tax consequences of owning Fund shares. You should not consider this
discussion to be a substitute for careful tax planning. Consult your tax adviser
about the tax consequences to you of buying shares and receiving distributions
for any of the Funds.
    
 
   
HOW WE PAY DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Usually, dividends and distributions
paid to you are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. The Fund is
required to distribute substantially all its net investment income and net
capital gains to comply with tax requirements. You must notify us in writing if
you want to receive dividends and distributions in cash or reinvest them in the
money market funds we have available through the Reserve Fund Portfolios. (See
"Exchanging shares," pages 32-33.)
    
 
NO SALES CHARGE. There is no sales charge for reinvesting dividends.
 
   
WHEN ARE DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS DECLARED AND DISTRIBUTED? The Government
Securities Fund and the Income and Equity Fund declare and distribute dividends
quarterly. The Balanced Fund, Growth Fund, and Small Cap Fund declare and
distribute dividends annually. Each Fund distributes capital gains annually.
    
 
GENERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES. All dividends and distributions are subject to federal
taxes and may be subject to state and local taxes, regardless of whether you
decide to receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares.
 
TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR EXCHANGES. An exchange is treated as a sale for tax
purposes and may result in a capital gain or loss. If you exchange shares that
you have held less than 91 days, the sales charge you paid on those shares is
not included in computing your tax basis for those shares. It is, however,
carried over and included in the tax basis of the new shares you acquired.
 
BACKUP WITHHOLDING. Each Fund is required to withhold 31% of all dividends and
distributions unless you certify on your application, or on a separate W-9 Form,
that your Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number is correct and that
you are not currently subject to or you are exempt from backup withholding.
 
                                                                              29

HOW TO BUY, SELL, AND EXCHANGE SHARES
- --------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   
Here is important information you should know about buying, selling and
exchanging shares.
    
 
BUYING SHARES
 
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM YOU CAN INVEST? Each class has its own minimum requirements:
 
- - Class A shares: no minimum investment;
- - Class C shares: minimum initial investment is $10,000; additional investments
  must be at least $500. We reserve the right to waive the minimum requirement
  at our discretion.
 
YOUR FIRST PURCHASE. You may order shares either:
 
- - through a selected dealer; or
- - by completing an application and mailing it, along with your check payable to
  "Pacific Advisors Fund Inc.," to:
 
   
 Pacific Global Investors Services, Inc.
 P.O. Box 2048
 Glendale, California 91209-2048
    
 
PLEASE PAY BY CHECK. We only accept payments in U.S. dollars from checks drawn
on a U.S. bank. We cannot accept cash. If your purchase is canceled because you
didn't pay or your check did not clear, you will be charged $25.00 and will be
responsible for any losses a Fund incurs.
 
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT ORDERS. We may reject any order for any reason and
cancel any purchase if we do not receive your money. Purchase orders are
effective on the business day PGIS receives your check. We are not responsible
for share purchases until PGIS confirms they have received your money.
 
ADDITIONAL PURCHASES. You may buy additional shares through your broker or by
sending money directly to PGIS at the address listed above.
 
BUYING BY MAIL. There are two ways to buy shares by mail. Send your check to
PGIS:
 
- - with the Investment Form portion of your confirmation; or
- - write your name, address, Fund name, and your account number on your check.
 
If you are buying shares of more than one Fund, please specify in writing how
much you wish to invest in each Fund you are buying and to which accounts you
want your payment applied.
 
BUYING BY WIRE. You may make additional purchases by wire by instructing your
bank to wire federal funds to:
 
    UMB Bank, N.A.
    ABA #: 101000695
    Further Credit to:
    Pacific Advisor Funds
    A/C #9870609932
 
30
<PAGE>
Your bank may charge a fee for this service. Be sure to specify on the wire the
Fund and Class of shares you are buying, your account number, and the name
listed on the account.
 
SELLING SHARES
 
SELLING BY MAIL.
To sell some or all of your shares you must send us a signed written request
that specifies the account number and either the dollar amount or the number of
shares to be sold.
 
SEND US A PROPERLY COMPLETED REQUEST. Requests to sell shares are complete when
all required information, and signature guarantees have been provided. We may
ask you for additional documentation if we feel it is necessary.
 
SELLING BY TELEPHONE.
Call PGIS at (800) 282-6693. The proceeds are mailed to your address or wired to
your predesignated bank account. Telephone sales may not be possible if all
lines are busy.
 
   
VERIFYING AUTHENTICITY. PGIS will make every effort to confirm that telephone
instructions are authentic. They are not responsible for any loss, damage, or
other expenses that occur when telephone instructions are reasonably believed to
be authentic. If PGIS does not use reasonable verification procedures, they may
be liable for any losses.
    
 
   
RESTRICTIONS. Telephone privileges are not available for newly purchased shares
(bought within the prior 15 days) or UMB Bank, N.A.-sponsored retirement plans;
you may, however, sell newly purchased shares by written request. Telephone sale
privileges are available to you or your broker, unless you cancel this privilege
with PGIS. If an account has multiple owners, PGIS may rely on the instructions
of any one owner. Shares held in corporate-type retirement plans for which UMB
Bank, N.A. serves as trustee, must be sold by written request, mailed to PGIS or
an authorized dealer.
    
 
REDEMPTIONS OVER $25,000. Amounts up to $25,000 may be sold by telephone only
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 that account. For your protection,
you may not use this privilege if your address of record has been changed within
30 days of a previous telephone redemption request.
 
SELLING BY WIRE.
Unless otherwise specified, PGIS will assume that sales proceeds are to be
transferred via check. Wire transfer instructions must be on file with PGIS,
before they can transfer your money. The only way you can change the bank
account specified on your original application is by written request. Be sure to
include appropriate signature guarantees, a copy of any applicable corporate
resolution, and any other relevant documentation.
 
                                                                              31
<PAGE>
CONTINGENCIES. If you buy shares by check and decide to sell them before your
check has cleared, we will not send you the proceeds of that sale until your
check has cleared. Your proceeds will, however, be sent to you no later than 15
calendar days after the date we receive your check.
 
SIGNATURES AND SIGNATURE GUARANTEE REQUIREMENT. The signature on a sale or
exchange request must be exactly as it appears on your application. We require a
signature guarantee when:
 
- - proceeds are more than $50,000;
- - proceeds are to be sent to someone other than the registered shareholder or to
  other than the registered address; or
- - the transaction is an exchange of shares.
 
The guarantor must be authorized by state law to guarantee signatures. A notary
public is not acceptable. Acceptable guarantors include:
 
- - domestic banks;
- - members of a National Securities Exchange;
- - credit unions and savings associations; and
- - participants in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP).
 
REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE. If you sell shares and then reinvest the money in one or
more of our Funds within 60 days, there will be no sales charge if:
 
- - the amount reinvested is less than your sale proceeds;
- - you have not already used this privilege in the current calendar year; and
- - you notify PGIS you want to reinvest without a sales charge.
 
SUSPENDING SALES. The right to sell your shares may be suspended when the New
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when
trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
 
EXCHANGING SHARES
 
YOU MAY EXCHANGE BETWEEN ANY OF OUR FUNDS. You may exchange shares between any
of our five Funds. Class A shares of a Fund may only be exchanged for Class A
shares of another Fund. Class C shares of a Fund may only be exchanged for Class
C shares of another Fund.
 
YOU MAY EXCHANGE SHARES INTO TWO SPECIFIC MONEY MARKET FUNDS. We have arranged
for you to be able to exchange any shares of our Funds for shares of two money
market funds offered by the Reserve Fund Portfolios. One fund is a taxable money
market fund, and the other is a tax-free money market fund. Please read the
prospectuses for these two funds before exchanging into them. You must exchange
a minimum of $500 and fill out a separate application.
 
CONDITIONS OF EXCHANGES. You may only exchange shares if:
 
- - shares of the Fund selected for exchange are available for sale in your state
  of residence; and
 
32
<PAGE>
- - the shares to be exchanged have been in your account for at least 15 days (if
  newly-purchased), or for at least one day (for all other shares), prior to the
  exchange.
 
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN EXCHANGING OUT OF THE MONEY MARKET FUNDS INTO CLASS A
SHARES. If you exchange Reserve Fund Portfolio money market shares for Class A
shares, you may be subject to sales charges. You are not charged a sales charge
if you:
 
- - acquired Reserve Fund Portfolio shares through an exchange from Class A
  shares;
- - bought Reserve Fund Portfolio shares and paid a sales charge for them; or
- - reinvest Reserve Fund Portfolio shares' dividends or capital gain
  distributions.
 
SEND A PROPER REQUEST. An exchange is processed only after your properly
completed order is received by PGIS.
 
EXCHANGING BY MAIL. You must send a written request to PGIS properly signed by
all registered owners indicating the Fund name, account number, and shares or
dollar amount to be exchanged, and specify into which Fund the shares are to be
exchanged.
 
EXCHANGING BY TELEPHONE. If you requested telephone exchange privileges, you or
your broker may call PGIS at (800) 282-6693. You must identify yourself by your
Social Security Number or other personal identification, the Fund name, account
number and shares or dollar amount to be exchanged, and specify into which Fund
the shares are to be exchanged. If telephone exchange lines are not available,
you will have to submit a written exchange request.
 
THE FIRST FIVE EXCHANGES ARE FREE. You are allowed five (5) free exchanges per
calendar year. After that, there may be a $5.00 service fee for each exchange.
We currently waive this fee, but we reserve the right to impose it at any time.
 
WE MAY DELAY YOUR REQUEST. If we believe a Fund would be disadvantaged by an
immediate exchange, we may delay the exchange for up to five business days.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON BULK EXCHANGE REQUESTS. We reserve the right to reject telephone
or written requests submitted in bulk on behalf of 10 or more accounts.
 
REQUESTS WHICH MIGHT CAUSE THE FUND TO LOSE MONEY. We reserve the right to
refuse any exchange request that would disadvantage a Fund, such as a request
that would result in significant losses to a Fund.
 
WE MAY DISCONTINUE EXCHANGES. We have the right to modify, suspend or
discontinue the exchange privilege at any time with 60 days' notice to you.
 
                                                                              33

AUTOMATIC PLANS
We offer plans to help you automatically buy, sell, and exchange shares each
month.
 
AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. You may make regular monthly investments into your
account by completing the Automatic Investment Plan section on your application.
The money will automatically be withdrawn from your bank account on or after the
5th or 20th of the month, whichever you specify on your application. Your
minimum monthly investment must be:
 
- - Class A shares: $25
- - Class C shares: $100
 
AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. You may make regular monthly withdrawals from your
account by completing that section of your application. Your proceeds will
automatically be transferred to your pre-designated bank account on or after the
15th or the 30th of each month, whichever you specify on your application. We
will sell shares from your specified account if:
 
- - the total value of your account is at least $10,000;
- - payments are at least $25 and in equal dollar amounts; and
- - all dividends and distributions on shares covered by this plan are reinvested
  in additional Fund shares.
 
We do not recommend buying Class A shares while you are using the Automatic
Withdrawal Plan. You could save sales charges on your purchases by eliminating
or reducing the Automatic Withdrawal Plan amount.
 
AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE PLAN. You may make regular monthly transfers of money or
shares between Funds, including the Reserve Funds, by completing that section of
your application. Your proceeds will automatically be exchanged on or after the
15th or the 30th of each month, whichever you specify on your application. To
use this plan:
 
- - the total value of your account must be at least $50,000;
- - payments must be at least $100 and in equal dollar amounts; and
- - all dividends and distributions on shares covered by this plan must be
  reinvested in additional Fund shares.
 
YOU MAY PAY INSURANCE PREMIUMS AUTOMATICALLY. Through our Insurance Premium
Withdrawal Plan ("IP Withdrawal Plan"), you can automatically pay the premiums
for eligible insurance policies. We send the proceeds from your scheduled sales
to your insurance company according to the instructions on your IP Withdrawal
Plan Authorization Form. You must have a minimum account value of $5,000 to open
an IP Withdrawal Plan. Check with your insurance company for other conditions
and restrictions. Applicable forms and further information regarding the IP
Withdrawal Plan are available from your broker or PGIS.

ACCOUNT POLICIES
- -------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This section explains how we price your share transactions.
 
NET ASSET VALUE. Net asset value ("NAV") is calculated separately for each Fund
by subtracting the liabilities of each Fund from its assets, and then dividing
by the number of outstanding shares of that Fund.
 
   
WHEN IS NAV CALCULATED? NAV is calculated at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on days
when the NYSE is open for trading, which usually is Mondays through Fridays,
except certain national and other holidays.
    
 
HOW SHARES ARE VALUED. Shares are valued at market prices or, if those are not
available, at fair market value. Under guidelines approved by the Board of
Directors, a bank, broker-dealer or pricing service may perform valuation
services for us.
 
PRICE OF CLASS A SHARES. Class A shares are bought at NAV plus any applicable
sales charge.
 
   
PRICE OF CLASS C SHARES. Class C shares are bought at NAV. There is no sales
charge when you buy these shares. However, as described on page 16 above, you
may be charged a contingent deferred sales charge if you sell Class C shares
within one year of purchase.
    
 
PRICE OF REINVESTED SHARES. Reinvested dividends and capital gains will also
receive the next calculated NAV. There is no sales charge on reinvested
dividends.
 
REDEMPTION PRICE OF SHARES. Class A and Class C shares are sold at NAV. If a
CDSC applies, we will subtract it from your sales proceeds.
 
WHEN YOUR SHARES ARE BOUGHT, SOLD OR EXCHANGED. Shares are bought, sold or
exchanged after the next NAV is calculated, after your properly completed order
has been received by PGIS. In order to receive that day's NAV, your order must
be received before the close of business on the NYSE and, in most instances,
transmitted to PGIS by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
 
ORDERS THROUGH AUTHORIZED DEALERS. Orders placed with certain authorized dealers
or their designees will be considered received by PGIS when the order is
accepted by that dealer or its designee. Other authorized dealers may require
you to place your order before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time so that it can be sent to
PGIS by then.
 
SOME BROKERS CHARGE FEES. Authorized dealers may charge a fee for their
services.
 
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. An account statement detailing the value of the assets in
your account will be sent to you each quarter. Transactions in your account will
be shown on regular confirmation statements sent to you when you buy or sell
shares. You will also receive Annual and Semi-Annual reports.
 
ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES. We reserve the right to impose an annual $10.00 fee
on accounts with less than $1,000 in them on the last business day of each
calendar year. The fee has been waived in the past, and we do not currently
expect to impose it.
 
                                                                              35
<PAGE>
   
PERFORMANCE QUOTATIONS
    
- ---------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   
From time to time we may publish a Fund's average total return in advertising,
marketing material, or other communications. You should be aware that the
performance of a Fund changes over time. Any presentation of a Fund's average
annual total return is not an indication of how it may perform in the future.

<PAGE>
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- ----------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   
The Financial Highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund's
financial performance for the past 5 years. The results for Class C shares
reflect operations since we started offering Class C shares. Certain information
reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the
table represent the rate that an investor would have earned, or lost, on an
investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions). This information has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, our
independent auditors, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements
are included in the Annual Report, which is available upon request. This is the
financial history for Class A and Class C shares of each Fund. There is no
financial history for the Growth Fund because it is a new fund which began
operations on May 3, 1999.
    
 
                                                                              37

                                  THE COMPANY AND 
                                      THE FUNDS

     The Pacific Global Fund, Inc., d/b/a Pacific Advisors Fund Inc. (the
"Company" or "we"), is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as
an open-end diversified management investment company. The Company was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on May 18, 1992.  We
currently offer the following five Funds: Government Securities Fund, Income and
Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Growth Fund and Small Cap Fund.  Each Fund is a
separate investment portfolio of the Company with a distinct investment
objective, investment program, policies, and restrictions.

                         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING 
                          INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND

   
     The Fund may invest in high-grade fixed-income securities issued by U.S. 
corporations, including convertible debt securities, preferred stocks, and 
zero coupon bonds.  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 Asset Management, Inc. ("Spectrum"), the Fund's 
Adviser.  In selecting corporate fixed-income securities, Spectrum focuses on 
building core investments in areas of low risk and high intrinsic value.  The 
Fund's corporate bond investments emphasize short and intermediate-term 
issues of domestic corporations that have strong or improving balance sheets.
    
   
     The Fund may 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, as amended (the "1940 Act").  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.  See "Investment in Other Investment Companies", on page
S-13 below.
    
   
     For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest without limitation 
in high-quality money market securities.  The types of high-quality money 
market securities in which it may invest are described below in "Money 
Market Instruments" beginning on page S-6 below.
    
INCOME AND EQUITY FUND
   
    
   
     The Fund may also invest up to 10% 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 
Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), although direct market purchases also may be 
made.
    
   
     For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest without limitation in
high-quality money market securities.  The types of high quality money market
securities in which it may invest are described below in "Money Market
Instruments" beginning on page S-6 below.
    
BALANCED FUND

   
     The fixed portion of income of the Fund may also be invested in U.S. 
government securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, 
convertible debt securities, and CMOs. 
    

                                         S-4
<PAGE>

   
     The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in equity and 
equity-related securities of foreign issuers.  Investments in securities of 
foreign issuers will be made through ADRs or other similar securities.
    
     The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in other open-end
investment companies, in accordance with Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act. 
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.  See "Investment in Other Investment
Companies" on page S-12 below.

   
    

GROWTH FUND

   
     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 investment in companies with longer 
operating histories.
    

   
     Up to 10% of the Fund's total assets may be invested directly in foreign 
securities. See "Depositary Receipts and Foreign Securities" on pages S-13 
to S-14 below. 
    
   
     When, in the judgment of the Manager, a temporary defensive posture is 
appropriate, the Fund may invest, without limitation, in high-quality money 
market securites. See "Money Market Instruments" beginning on page S-6 
below.
    

SMALL CAP FUND
   
     The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in other open end
investment companies, in accordance with Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act. 
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.  See "Investment in Other Investment
Companies" on page S-13 below.
    
   
     Up to 5% of the Fund's total assets may be invested directly in foreign
securities.  See "Depositary Receipts and Foreign Securities" on pages S-13 to
S-14 below.
    
     While we anticipate that 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 downgraded to below investment
grade.  Convertible preferred stocks that pay above average dividends and
long-term corporate bonds are considered by the Manager 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.

     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. 
   
      When, in the judgement of the Manager, a temporary defensive posture is
appropriate, the Fund may invest, without limitation, in high-quality money
market securities.  See "Money Market Instruments" beginning on page S-6
below.
    
INFORMATION CONCERNING SPECIFIC STRATEGIES AND INSTRUMENTS

     In pursuing its investment objective, each Fund may invest in certain types
of securities that have special risks, as described below, and therefore, may
not be suitable for all investors. Investors should carefully assess the risks
associated with an investment in each Fund.  The following is a description of
certain types of investments and strategies that may be used by the Funds and
the risks of those investments and strategies.


                                         S-5
<PAGE>

MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS

     Each Fund may use U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments 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.  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.  These 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.  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
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,
which is 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 the 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.  No Fund will enter into a


                                         S-6
<PAGE>

repurchase agreement 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.

     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

     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.  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. Baa rated  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 for a description of each rating category.)  
   
     The maturity of fixed-income securities may be considered long (ten or 
more years), intermediate (three to ten years), or short-term (two years 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.  
    

                                         S-7
<PAGE>

     Certain of these fixed-income securities are described below.

     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 mortgages. 
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.

     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.  

     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 or agencies or instrumentalities of the
U.S. Government.  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, 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 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



                                         S-8
<PAGE>

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").  The Government Securities
Fund, the Income and Equity Fund, and the Balanced Fund may invest in CMOs. 
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, however, are not "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 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.

   
     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 or "CARDs".  Such securities are generally issued as 
pass-through certificates, which represent
    

                                         S-9
<PAGE>

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.

     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. 

     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 are sold at and 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


                                         S-10
<PAGE>

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.  Zero coupon 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 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 periodic 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.  When a Fund owns a zero coupon bond or pay-in-kind security,
this "phantom income" is treated as part of the income that a Fund must
distribute each year to maintain its status as a regulated investment company,
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code").  As a result, since this
"phantom income" may result in the payment of actual cash distributions to Fund
shareholders, purchases of zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities 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 accrued 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, DELAYED ISSUE, AND FORWARD COMMITMENT SECURITIES

     Each Fund may, from time to time, purchase securities on a "when-issued",
delayed delivery, or forward commitment  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.


                                         S-11
<PAGE>

   
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.  The price of the securities are subject to market 
fluctuation.  Accordingly, when-issued securities and forward commitments 
involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines 
before 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.  While when-issued securities may be sold before 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.  When a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a 
when-issued or forward commitment 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 and forward commitment 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.  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.

     Any loan of portfolio securities by any Fund will be callable 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. 


                                         S-12
<PAGE>

     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. 

INVESTMENT IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

   
     The Government Securities Fund, the Balanced Fund and the Small Cap Fund
may each invest in other 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 and the Growth 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 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 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 (ii) 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.

   
     To the extent that a fund invests in foreign securities, it 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.  Those risks include: (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
    
                                         S-13
<PAGE>

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.  As a result of these risks, 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, Growth 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 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 at a specified price 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 at a specified price 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.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

     The Funds had the following portfolio turnover rates for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1998:

</TABLE>
    

   
     No data is shown for the Growth Fund, because it had not yet commenced 
operations.
    
   
     Portfolio turnover rates reflect the investment manager's capital 
allocation decision-making in response to market and economic conditions and 
each Fund's stated investment philosophy and policies. The Government 
Securities and Income and Equity Funds' portfolio turnover rates decreased 
during 1998 as a result of the manager's limited need to reallocate capital 
from intermediate and longer-term fixed income securities since interest 
rates continued their downward trend. The Small Cap Fund's portfolio turnover
rate was higher in 1998, as a result of greater volatility in the market. The
manager sold fully-valued and underperforming companies in response to a small
cap market correction from April to the end of the year.
    

                         INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

     In addition to the policies and 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:

     (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.  Each
Fund will not borrow money except temporarily from banks to facilitate
redemptions requests that might otherwise require untimely disposition of
portfolio securities.  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


                                         S-15
<PAGE>

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 and 
Growth 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 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;


                                         S-16
<PAGE>

   
     (12) UNSEASONED ISSUERS:  The Balanced Fund and Growth Fund will not 
invest more than 5%, and the Small Cap Fund will not invest more than 10%, 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, U.S. 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 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.  A Fund will not with
respect to 75% of its total assets invest in more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government 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 utility company 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 would be 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.

     EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENTS.  The Company bears all expenses of its
operation, other than those assumed by the Manager.  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, the Income and
Equity Fund, and the Growth Fund  at 1.65%, 1.85%, and 2.50%, respectively, of
average net assets, and to maintain the total Fund Operating Expenses of the
Class C shares of those three Funds at 2.40%, 2.60%, and 3.25% 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,
the Income and Equity Fund, and the Growth Fund to the extent necessary to
enable those Funds to meet the expense limitations described above. These
Agreements continue from year to year unless terminated by one of the parties. 
In addition, the Manager may discontinue or change these fee waiver and expense
reimbursement arrangements at any time upon 90 days notice to the relevant Fund.
    
   
     Except with respect to the Growth Fund, the Company may reimburse the 
Manager and/or the Co-Manager for fees so waived and expenses so assumed, and 
for fees waived and expenses assumed in past years with respect to the Funds, 
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 Fund and Class of shares and will cause the relevant 
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
    
                                         S-20

pursuant to the current Expense Limitation Agreements, will not be reimbursed.

DISTRIBUTION OF FUND SHARES

     PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER.  Pacific Global Fund Distributors, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the principal underwriter of our
shares.  It is located at 206 North Jackson Street, Suite 201, Glendale,
California 91206.  Under the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor has agreed
to use its best efforts to promote the Funds and to solicit orders for purchase
of Fund shares.  The Funds engage in a continuous offering of their shares. The
Distributor may enter into Selling Group Agreements with unaffiliated
broker-dealers for the sale of Fund shares and may sell Fund shares through
banks and other financial services firms.  The Distributor pays commissions to
broker-dealers selling Fund shares, as described below.  Sales of Fund shares
may also be a factor in selecting broker-dealers to execute portfolio
transactions.  The Distributor may act as a broker for the Company in conformity
with the securities laws and rules thereunder.  For the fiscal years ending
December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the aggregate amount of underwriting
commissions paid by the Funds and the amount retained by the Distributor are as

     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. 

   
     On purchases by a "Single Purchaser" 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.  For this purpose, the Distributor will consider a "Single Purchaser"
to be: (1) an individual and his or her spouse and minor children;  and (2) a
trustee or other fiduciary purchasing for a single fiduciary account or trust
estate, including qualified employee benefit plans of the same employer.
    

   
     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 1940 Act. Pursuant
to the Class A Plan, the Company pays 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
pays 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, pays certain securities dealers or brokers,
administrators and others ("Recipients") based on the average daily net asset
value of the Class A and Class C Shares, as appropriate, of the Company owned by
that Recipient or its customers during that quarter.  The Distributor also 
retains certain Rule 12b-1 fees based on the average daily net asset value of 
the Fund shares owned by shareholders who are customers of the Distributor. No 
such payments are made to any Recipient in any quarter if the aggregate 
net asset value of the Class A and Class C Shares of the Company shares 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, is 
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.
    

   
     Other than fees paid to the Distributor with respect to its own 
customers, 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, and all of the 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, 1998, 
the Funds made the following Rule 12b-1 payments:

TRANSFER AGENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGENT

     Pacific Global Investor Services, Inc. ("PGIS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Manager, acts as the Transfer Agent, Dividend Disbursing Agent, and
Administrative Services Agent for all of the Funds.  PGIS is located at 206
North Jackson Street, Suite 201, Glendale, California 91206.  

   
     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 above, PGIS has
agreed to waive its transfer agency fees on Class C shares of the Government
Securities Fund, the Income and Equity Fund, and the Growth Fund to the extent
necessary to enable those Funds to meet the applicable expense limitations.  See
"Expense Limitation Agreements", at page S-20 to S-21 above.  For the previous
three fiscal years, PGIS received the following amounts from the Funds as fees
for its services as Administrative Agent:

The Fund believes that the shares held by the financial institutions listed 
above were held by the persons indicated in accounts for their fiduciary, 
agency or custodial clients.

   
     As of January 31, 1999, the Directors and Officers of the Company, as 
a group, owned 1.92% of the outstanding shares of the Small Cap Fund, 3.07% 
of the outstanding shares of the Income and Equity Fund, and 3.58% of the 
outstanding shares of the Government Securities Fund.  As of January 31, 
1999, the Directors and Officers of the Company, as a group, owned less than 
1% of the Balanced Fund.
    

   
     As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, Manabi Hirasaki
owned 100% of the outstanding shares of the Growth Fund and, as a result, may
be deemed to be a control person of the Growth Fund.  Once the Growth Fund
begins to sell its shares to the public, however, we anticipate that public
shareholders will soon own sufficient Growth Fund shares that Mr. Hirasaki's
shareholding, as a percentage of the shares outstanding, will no longer be
deemed to constitute "control".
    

                                   CAPITAL STOCK

SERIES AND CLASSES OF SHARES.  

     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 of Directors has the power to establish additional series or
classes of shares.  

     In the interest of economy and efficiency, the Company does not issue stock
certificates.  Shareholders of uncertificated shares have the same ownership
rights as if certificates had been issued.

     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.

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 usually 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
1940 Act, 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.


                                        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.

     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.


                          ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING 
                    PURCHASE, REDEMPTION, AND PRICING OF SHARES

TRADE DATE PROCEDURES

     PURCHASING. If a purchase order is telephoned to PGIS before 4:00 pm., 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.


                                         S-27

<PAGE>

     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).

     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 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. 

     TRANSACTIONS EFFECTED THROUGH CERTAIN AUTHORIZED DEALERS.  We have
authorized certain brokers ("Authorized Dealers") to accept purchase and
redemption orders on our behalf.  These Authorized Dealers are authorized to
designate other intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on our
behalf.  PGIS will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order
placed with certain of these Authorized Dealers or designees when the Authorized
Dealer or, if applicable, its authorized designee, accepts the order.  If an
order is accepted by such a Dealer or authorized designee before 4:00 pm., New
York time, the order becomes 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.  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 Dealer or the Authorized Dealer'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 may be charged a fee if you effect transactions in Fund shares through
an Authorized Dealer or an Authorized Dealer's designee.

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 fee table in the Prospectus. 
Under the programs described below, we will combine qualifying purchases and
thereby reduce the applicable sales charge.  In addition, certain categories of
Fund purchases also will be made at net asset value, as described below.  

     SINGLE PURCHASER.  In determining the front-end sales charge on Class A
shares, we will combine the total amount being invested by any "Single
Purchaser" in Class A shares of the Funds at any one time.  A "Single
Purchaser," eligible for a discount based on combining purchases, includes: (1)
an individual and his or her spouse and minor children; or (2) 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.  You also may
combine concurrent purchases of Class A shares of two or more Funds.  To qualify
for this discount, you must notify PGIS 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 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.  We will take into
account your Class A shares in any Fund previously purchased 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 


                                         S-28

<PAGE>

of the Funds that are still held in one of the Funds will be included in the
calculation.  If you wish to use this right of accumulation, you must notify
PGIS at the time your order is placed, and when each subsequent order is placed.
When you send your payment to PGIS, you must specify by account number all
accounts to be included under "Right of Accumulation". 
   
     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.  Your initial purchase 
of Class A shares must be at least 5% of the stated investment goal.  When 
you submit a Letter of Intent to PGIS, each investment made during the 
thirteen-month period in Class A shares of any Fund will receive the sales 
charge applicable to the total amount of the investment goal indicated in 
your Letter of Intent.  PGIS will hold in escrow Class A shares equal to the 
dollar amount of the maximum sales charge applicable to the Fund(s) invested 
in, until your purchases of Class A shares reach the total stated investment 
goal.  If your purchases do not reach that goal, PGIS will apply the escrowed 
shares to pay the applicable sales charge.  Each payment sent directly to 
PGIS 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.  
("Eligible Funds" are explained at page S-32 below.) 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.  
    
     WAIVER OF INITIAL SALES CHARGE ON CLASS A SHARES.  We will not charge the
initial sales charge on Class A shares of the Funds to the following categories
of transactions:  

     (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 PGIS, 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; 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.  

     To qualify for this waiver, transactions in categories (2) through (5) must
also meet the following conditions: (a) the order must 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 agree that any such purchase is for investment purposes only and
the securities purchased will not be resold except to that Fund.

     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 in the circumstances
described above because of anticipated economies in sales efforts and sales
related expenses.  We may terminate, or amend the terms of, the offering of
Class A shares of the Funds at net asset value at any time.  Also see
"Exchanges of Shares" at pages S-31 to S-32 below.
    

ADDITIONAL SHAREHOLDER 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 usually be
debited by the 5th or 20th day of the month.  

     AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT.  We automatically reinvest your dividends and
capital gain distributions on Fund shares in additional shares of the same Class
of shares of the same Fund, at no sales charge, unless you advise us otherwise
in writing.  You also may elect to have dividends and/or capital gain
distributions paid in cash or reinvested in the Eligible Funds.  

     ACCOUNT STATEMENTS.  We will send you a statement of all account activity
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.  

     AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLANS.  If your account value is at least $10,000, you
may establish an Automatic Withdrawal Plan.  We automatically will transfer the
proceeds from scheduled redemptions of shares 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, because of the initial sales charge, it may not be advisable for
you to purchase additional Class A shares while you are participating in an
Automatic Withdrawal Plan.  You 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. 

   
     AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE PLANS.  If your account value is at least $50,000, 
you may establish an Automatic Exchange Plan. We automatically will exchange 
shares between the Funds that you designate, including the Eligible Funds, on 
either the 15th or the 30th of each month. The amounts exchanged must equal 
at least $100. Each exchange will be for the same dollar amount. All 
dividends and distributions on shares covered by an Automatic Exchange Plan 
must be reinvested in additional Fund shares. Exchanges under an Automatic 
Exchange Plan are subject to the requirements and conditions described in 
"Exchange of Shares" on pages S-31 to S-32 below. Requests to establish an 
Automatic Exchange Plan must be submitted in writing.
    

TELEPHONE EXCHANGES AND REDEMPTIONS

     EXCHANGES.  To place a telephone exchange request, call PGIS at
1-800-282-6693.  PGIS may record your call.  By exchanging shares by telephone,
you are 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.  You and your dealer representative of record automatically have
telephone exchange privileges unless and until you give PGIS written
instructions canceling those 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 


                                         S-30

<PAGE>

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.  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.  You may redeem shares by telephone.  We will mail the
proceeds to your registered address or wire them to your predesignated bank
account.  Our 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 call.  If all lines are busy, telephone redemptions may not be 
available and you may need to use the Funds' other redemption procedures 
instead.  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 shares purchased 
within the prior 15 days, or shares for UMB Bank, N.A.-sponsored retirement 
plans.  You and your dealer representative of record automatically have 
telephone redemption privileges, unless PGIS receives cancellation 
instructions from you.  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.  
    

     For redemptions paid by check, you may redeem up to $25,000 by telephone,
once in each 30-day period.  The check must be payable to you and any joint
shareholder and sent to the address of record for the account.  You may not
exercise this privilege 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.

EXCHANGES OF SHARES 

   
     EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE.  You may exchange shares into other Funds.  However,
Class A shares of a Fund may be exchanged only for Class A shares of the other
Funds or shares of the Reserve Fund Portfolios.  Class C shares of a Fund may be
exchanged only for Class C shares of the other Funds and shares of the Reserve
Fund Portfolios.  In the future, the Distributor may make arrangements for
exchanges of Class A and Class C Fund shares for shares of other mutual funds. 
We process exchange redemptions and purchases simultaneously at the share prices
next determined after the exchange order is received in proper form, as noted
below.  You may make an exchange by mail or by telephone.  The first five 
exchanges in each calendar year are free. After that, a $5.00 service fee
applies to each exchange; however, PGIS currently is waiving that fee. 
    

     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,"  on pages S-33 to S-34 above.
    

     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 Class A Fund shares or by reinvestment of
dividends or capital gain distributions on such Reserve Fund Portfolio shares.


                                         S-31

<PAGE>

   
     The following conditions must be met for all exchanges: (1) shares of the
Fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in the shareholder's state
of residence; and (2) 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 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 Fund
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 Class C shares of
another Fund. 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.
    

   
     We 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.  We reserve 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. Only 
shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.
    

     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.  In our discretion we may refuse any exchange 
request that will disadvantage a Fund, 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 ("Eligible Funds") 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.  PGIS 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.  

REDEMPTION 

     REDEMPTION PAYMENTS.  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 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 


                                         S-32

<PAGE>

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.  We may suspend the right to redeem shares or to
receive payment with respect to any redemption of shares of the Funds: (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.
   
     STANDARD PROCEDURES.  To redeem some or all of your shares in a Fund, 
generally you must send PGIS a signed written request that specifies the 
account number and either the dollar amount or the number of shares to be 
redeemed.  We 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 Redemptions" on pages 
S-33 to S-34 above and "Signatures and Signature Guarantees," on page S-30 
above. 
    
     WIRE TRANSFERS OF REDEMPTION PROCEEDS.  For the protection of shareholders
and the Company, you must place wire transfer instructions on file with us prior
to executing any request for the wire transfer of redemption proceeds.  You 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.  We generally will
deduct a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") 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
purchase.  The CDSC will equal 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, your
total CDSC will not exceed the total dealer reallowances paid on your Class A
shares that are subject to a CDSC.  In calculating the CDSC, we will combine all
redemptions of a "Single Purchaser" (as defined in "Reducing Your Sales Charge
- -- Class A Shares" on pages S-27 to S-29 above).  We will not charge a CDSC on
Class A shares that you acquired through transactions described in "Waiver of
Initial Sales Charge on Class A Shares" on pages S-28 to S-29 above.  We also
will not charge a CDSC 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.

     CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE -- CLASS C SHARES.  A CDSC of 1% of the
offering price (net asset value at the time of purchase) or the net asset value
of the shares at the 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. 
We will waive the CDSC on Class C shares in the case of redemptions of Class C
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) 

                                         S-33
<PAGE>

Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments limited to no more than 12% of the original
account value annually; and (4) involuntary redemptions of Class C 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 C shares on which 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 C Fund shares
purchased subject to a CDSC, except that if the shares acquired by exchange are
redeemed within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class C shares, the CDSC will apply.  In determining
whether a CDSC is payable, and the amount of any such CDSC, Class C shares not
subject to CDSC are redeemed first, including Class C shares purchased by
reinvestment of dividends and distributions, and then other Class C shares are
redeemed in the order of purchase.

     REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE.  In addition, you may reinvest, in a Fund from
which you redeemed, the proceeds of a full or partial redemption of your Class A
Fund shares without payment of a sales charge upon such reinvestment in Class A
shares where (1) the reinvestment 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.   

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.


                               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 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 defined 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 


                                         S-34

<PAGE>

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 the prior three fiscal years, the total brokerage commissions paid by 
each Fund were as follows:

1996      $7,572              $757            $5,093            $81,150

1997      $7,076              $2,157          $8,126            $68,467

1998      $5,656              $1,629          $13,207           $88,021
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
    

   
Of these amounts, no amounts were paid to brokers that provided research and 
brokerage services.  No brokerage commissions were paid by the Growth Fund in 
any of these years, because it had not commenced operations. 
    

     For the prior three fiscal years, the total brokerage commissions paid 
by each Fund to the Distributor were as follows:

   
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Securities Fund     Equity Fund     Balanced Fund     Small Cap Fund

1996      $0                  $0              $584              $55,227

1998      $0                  $126            $937              $60,252
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
    

   
     Of these amounts, no amounts were paid to brokers that provided research 
and brokerage services.  For the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998, 
brokerage commissions paid to the Distributor constituted 7.73% of all 
brokerage commissions paid by the Income and Equity Fund, 7.09% of all 
brokerage commissions paid by the Balanced Fund, and 68.45% of all 
brokerage commissions paid by the Small Cap Fund.  For the fiscal year ended 
December 31, 1998, the dollar value of commissionable portfolio transactions
effected through the Distributor constituted 46.61% of all such transactions
effected by the Income and Equity Fund, 3.88% of all such transactions
effected by the Balanced Fund, and 72.66% of all such transactions effected by
the Small Cap Fund.  The percentage of the Income and Equity Fund's total
brokerage commissions paid to Distributor in 1998 was much lower than the 
relative dollar volume of the Fund's commissionable transactions effected by 
the Distributor, primarily because the commission charged by the Distributor 
on certain transactions was low in comparison to the dollar amount of those 
transactions.
    

                             VALUATION OF FUND SHARES 
   
     Class A Fund shares are sold at their offering price, which is the net
asset value per share plus the applicable front-end sales charge.  As described
elsewhere in this SAI, however, certain purchases of Class A shares are made at
net asset value.  The public offering price of Class C shares is the next
determined net asset value per share.
    

     The net asset value of per share of each Fund is usually 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 Monday through
Friday except on the following national holidays: New Year's Day, President's
Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day,
and Christmas Day.

     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 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 an 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.
    
     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


                                         S-35

<PAGE>

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.


                          PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
   
     From time to time a Fund may publish its average annual total return in 
its advertising, marketing material and communications to shareholders. 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.
    

     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.

   
     Shown below are calculations of the Funds' average annual total 
return calculated as of December 31, 1998.  This information is calculated as 
described above, in accordance with applicable 
    

                                         S-36

SEC requirements. Investors should note that the investment results of a Fund
will fluctuate over time, and any presentation of a Fund's 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 total
return may be in any future period.

                                       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 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


                                         S-39
<PAGE>

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.
