                                THE CUTLER TRUST

                            CUTLER EQUITY INCOME FUND
                                CUTLER VALUE FUND

                      Supplement Dated December 1, 1999 to
                        Prospectus Dated October 30, 1999


On Monday,  December  20,  1999, a special  meeting of the  shareholders  of the
Cutler  Equity  Income Fund (the "Fund")  will be held to vote on the  following
proposal. Only shareholders of record on November 19, 1999 are entitled to vote.

Proposal.  It is proposed that the Fund's  investment  objective and policies be
changed  from to seek  current  income and  long-term  capital  appreciation  by
investing  within Cutler & Company,  LLC's "Approved List" to to seek income and
long-term  capital  appreciation  by  investing  in  stocks  that  it  considers
undervalued  with  respect to their  growth  prospects  relative  to the general
market.  The Fund has been  required to hold 20-30 of the stocks on the Approved
List and to  invest at least  65% of its  total  assets in the  income-producing
equity  securities  of the  Approved  List.  If the proposed  modifications  are
approved,  these  policies will no longer apply.  The Fund will continue to only
purchase  companies  that, in Cutler & Company,  LLC's  opinion,  are leaders in
their industry and have wide ownership among major  institutional  investors and
very liquid markets, as well as have annual sales, assets and market value of at
least $1 billion. The Fund, however, will now be able to purchase companies that
are listed on exchanges  other than the New York Stock  Exchange as long as they
are subject to regulation by the U.S.  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The
Fund  will no longer be  required  to  purchase  companies  that paid  dividends
continuously for at least 20 years,  without any reduction in the rate. The Fund
will now be able to invest in companies that have senior debt rated  "investment
grade".  Investment  grade is  generally  defined  as a bond with a rating of at
least BBB or Baa by the relevant rating organization. The Fund's portfolio will,
under normal  conditions,  be comprised of at least 25, stocks of which at least
75% will be dividend paying. If the shareholders approve this proposal, the name
of the Fund will be changed to the "Cutler Core Fund".
