Statement of Additional Information dated April 30, 1996
This Supplement provides new and additional information beyond that contained
in the Statement of Additional Information and should be retained and read in
conjunction with such Statement of Additional Information.
The Board of Trustees of the Rembrandt Funds(R) (the "Trust") approved the
following changes to the Trust's restricted securities and illiquid securities
guidelines at their September 20, 1996 meeting.
The first two sentences under the heading Restricted Securities on page 11 of
the Statement of Additional Information should be replaced with the following:
"Restricted securities are securities that may not be sold to the public
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act")
absent an exemption from registration. Up to 10% of a Fund's assets may
consist of restricted securities that are illiquid, and the Advisor may
invest up to an additional 5% of the total assets of a Fund in restricted
securities provided it determines that at the time of investment such
securities are not illiquid (generally, an illiquid security cannot be
disposed of within seven days in the ordinary couse of business at its
full value), based on guidelines and procedures developed and established
by the Board of Trustees of the Trust."
The first sentence under #2 under the heading Non-Fundamental Policies on page
15 in the Statement of Additional Information should be replaced with the
following:
[No Fund may]
"2. Invest in illiquid securities in an amount exceeding, in the
aggregate, 15% of the Fund's assets (except for all Money Market Funds
for which the limit is 10%)."
