The attached final Prospectus for a prior Series of the Fund is hereby
used as a preliminary Prospectus for the above stated Series. The narrative
information and structure of the attached final Prospectus will be substantially
the same as that of the final Prospectus for this Series. Information with
respect to pricing, the number of Units, dates and summary information regarding
the characteristics of securities to be deposited in this Series is not now
available and will be different since each Series has a unique Portfolio.
Accordingly the information contained herein with regard to the previous Series
should be considered as being included for informational purposes only. Ratings
of the securities in this Series are expected to be comparable to those of the
securities deposited in the previous Series. However, the Estimated Current
Return for this Series will depend on the interest rates and offering prices of
the securities in this Series and may vary materially from that of the previous
Series.
A registration statement relating to the units of this Series will be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become
effective. Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment.
Such Units may not be sold nor may offer to buy be accepted prior to the time
the registration statement becomes effective. This Prospectus shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall
there be any sale of the Units in any state in which such offer, solicitation or
sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such state.
