     Rule 497(j) Certificate
     File No. 33-57684


Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This is in reference to the prospectuses included as part of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 13 to the Form N-1A Registration Statement of Pacific Capital
Funds (the "Funds"), which became effective on December 1, 1999. The Fund hereby
certifies that the forms of prospectuses that would have been filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 497(c) under the Securities Act of 1933 would not
have differed from those contained in the Amendment, and that the text of the
most recent amendment to such Registration Statement has been filed
electronically.


                               Very truly yours,

                               /s/ Greg Maddox

                               Greg Maddox
                               Secretary
