THE FUND
Kenilworth Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is a no-load, open-end non-
diversified management investment company commonly called a
"mutual fund." As a no-load fund, the Fund does not impose sales
charges, 12b-1 charges, or redemption fees. The Fund was
organized as an Illinois corporation on October 24, 1988.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital
appreciation which it seeks by investing primarily in a non-
diversified portfolio of common stocks, preferred stocks,
warrants to purchase common stocks, convertible bonds, fixed-
income obligations of corporations and the United States
government, and securities convertible into common stocks of
corporations. Although the Fund seeks to invest substantially
all its assets in common stocks, the composition of the Fund's
portfolio will vary depending upon the Adviser's perception of
current and future market and economic conditions. The Fund may,
for temporary defensive purposes and to meet its redemption
requirements, invest its assets in money market securities,
including U.S. government obligations, certificates of deposit,
bankers' acceptances, commercial paper or cash or cash
equivalents. The Fund does not intend to invest in any security
which, at the time of purchase, is not readily marketable. The
Fund does not retain securities that subsequently become
illiquid. The Fund does not intend to place emphasis on short-
term trading profits. However, when circumstances warrant,
investment securities may be sold from time to time without
regard to the length of time they have been held.
The Fund is classified as being non-diversified which means
that it may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in
the obligations of a limited number of issuers. The Fund,
therefore, may be more susceptible than a more widely diversified
fund to any single economic, political or regulatory occurrence.
The policy of the Fund, in the hope of achieving its objective as
stated above, is, therefore, one of selective investments rather
than broad diversification. The Fund seeks only enough
diversification for adequate representation among what it
considers to be the best performing securities and to maintain
its federal non-taxable status under Sub-Chapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund's investment advisor expects that under normal
circumstances the Fund's anticipated portfolio turnover rate will
not exceed 50%. However, this rate should not be construed as a
limiting factor and the portfolio turnover rate may exceed 50%
when the investment advisor deems changes appropriate.
Nonetheless, the Fund will not change its investment objective of
long-term capital appreciation. The annual portfolio turnover
rate indicates changes in the Fund's portfolio. For instance, a
rate of 100% would result if all the securities in the portfolio
(excluding securities whose maturities at acquisition were one
year or less) at the beginning of an annual period had been
replaced by the end of the period. The Fund intends to limit
turnover so that realized short-term gains on securities held for
less than three months do not exceed 30% of adjusted gross income
in order to derive the benefits of favorable tax treatment
available to regulated investment companies under the Internal
Revenue Code.
The Fund is designed for investors with a long-term investment
perspective (and not with a view to playing short-term swings in
the market). Investors should be aware that up to 100% of the
Fund's portfolio may be invested in common stocks and other
equity-type securities. To the extent that the Fund's portfolio
is primarily invested in common stocks and other equity-type
securities, the Fund's net asset value may be subject to greater
fluctuation than a portfolio containing a substantial amount of
fixed income securities. There can be no assurance that the
objective of the Fund will be realized or that any income will be
earned. Nor can there be assurance that the Fund's portfolio
will not decline in value.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Fund has adopted certain investment restrictions which are
presented below, and which, together with the investment
objective of the Fund, cannot be changed without approval by
holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares.
As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"),
this means the lesser of (a) 67% of the shares of the Fund at a
meeting where more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present
in person or by proxy; or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of the Fund.
Certain restrictions referred to in the foregoing paragraph
are summarized below. The Fund will not:
(1) Act as underwriter for securities of other issuers except
insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter in disposing of
its own portfolio securities;
(2) Borrow money, issue senior securities, or purchase
securities on margin, but may obtain such short term credit from
banks as may be necessary for clearance of purchases and sales of
securities for temporary or emergency purposes in an amount not
exceeding 5% of the value of its total assets;
(3) Invest more than 25% of its assets at the time of purchase
in any one industry;
(4) Invest in securities of other investment companies except as
part of a merger, consolidation, or purchase of assets approved
by the Fund's shareholders or by purchases with no more than 10%
of the Fund's assets in the open market involving only customary
broker's commissions;
(5) Make investments in commodities, commodity contracts or real
estate although the Fund may purchase and sell securities of
companies which deal in real estate or interests therein;
(6) The Fund may not purchase or retain securities of any issuer
if those officers and directors of the Fund or its Investment
Adviser owning individually more than 1/2 of 1% of any class of
security collectively own more than 5% of such class of
securities of such issuer;
(7) Pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any of
its assets, except as a temporary measure for extraordinary or
emergency purposes, and then not in excess of 15% of its assets
taken at cost;
(8) Invest in restricted, illiquid or other securities without
readily available market quotations; and
(9) Purchase the securities of any issuer if, at the time of
acquisition it would own more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of any one company;
(10) Invest in companies for the primary purpose of acquiring
control of management thereof;
(11) Purchase securities on margin, except such short-term
credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions and
make short sales of securities (except short sales against the
box);
(12) Make loans, except that this restriction shall not prohibit
the purchase and holding of a portion of an issue of publicly
distributed debt securities;
(13) Purchase securities of any company having less than three
years continuous operation (including operations of any
predecessors) if such purchase would cause the value of the
Fund's investments in all such companies to exceed 5% of the
value of its assets;
(14) Invest more than 5% of its total assets in warrants, whether
or not the warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or
more than 2% of the value of the assets of the Fund in warrants
which are not listed on those exchanges. Warrants acquired in
units or attached to securities are not included in this
restriction.

</TABLE>
Investment Adviser
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement
("Advisory Agreement") with Institutional Portfolio Services,
Ltd., One First National Plaza, Suite 2594, Chicago, Illinois
60603 (the "Adviser"). Mr. B. Padmanabha Pai is the sole
shareholder, principal executive officer and director of the
Adviser. From 1969 to 1978, the Adviser performed investment
advisory services for various clients as a sole-proprietor. On
July 26, 1978, the Adviser incorporated itself as an Illinois
corporation. While the Adviser has not served as an investment
adviser to an investment company in the past, it has served as an
investment adviser to wealthy individuals and corporate pension
plans on an individual account basis for the past 27
years. The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940.
The Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser shall manage
the Fund's investments and shall determine the Fund's portfolio
transactions and shall be responsible for overall management of
the Fund's business affairs, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Directors. As compensation for its services, the Fund
pays to the Adviser a monthly advisory fee at the annual rate of
1% per year on the net assets of the Fund. All fees are computed
on the average daily closing net asset value of the Fund and are
payable monthly. The fee paid to the investment adviser is
higher than that paid by most investment companies.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides the Fund
with investment advisory services, office space and personnel.
The Adviser also pays the salaries of those of the Fund's
employees, officers, and directors who are also employees,
officers, and/or directors of the Adviser. Additionally, the
Advisor pays all other executive salaries and executive expenses,
charges for all clerical services relating to the Fund's
investments and all promotional expenses of the Fund, including
the printing and mailing of the prospectus to other than current
shareholders.
The Fund pays all of its other costs and expenses including
interest, taxes, salaries of its employees, fees of directors who
are not employees, officers or directors of the Adviser,
administrative expenses related directly to the issuance and
redemption of shares (such as expenses of registering or
qualifying shares for sale, charges of custodians, transfer
agents, and registrars), costs of printing and mailing reports
and notices to shareholders, charges for auditing services and
legal services, and other fees and commissions of every kind not
expressly assumed by the Adviser. (See section below titled:
"Administrative & Management Services"). The Fund's expenses are
limited, however, by an excess reimbursement provision in the
Advisory Agreement. If the annual operating and management
expenses (excluding taxes and interest) exceeds 1.7% of the
average net assets of the Fund, the Advisory Agreement requires
the Adviser to reimburse the Fund for any such excess on a
yearly basis.
Administrative & Management Services
The Fund has entered into an Administrative & Management
Services Agreement (the "Administrative Services Agreement")
with the Fund's investment adviser, Institutional Portfolio
Services, Ltd., ("IPS"). The Administrative Services Agreement
requires IPS to provide recordkeeping, computer software and
development, and other operations management services for the
Fund. IPS will be paid the sum of $20,000 per year. As stated in
the above-mentioned section titled "Investment Adviser", if the
Fund's annual operating and management expenses exceed 1.7% of
the average net assets of the Fund, the Fund's investment adviser
will reimburse the Fund for any excess on a yearly basis.
Custodian & Transfer Agent
The Fund acts as its own custodian and transfer agent.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of the Fund is determined as
soon as possible after the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (currently 4:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time) on days in
which the Exchange is open for business, except that the net
asset value will not be computed on a day in which no orders to
purchase shares were received and no shares were tendered for
redemption. The net asset value per share is calculated by
adding the value of all securities, cash or other assets,
subtracting liabilities, and dividing the remainder by the number
of shares outstanding.
Each security traded on a national stock exchange is valued at
its last sale price on that exchange on the day of valuation or,
if there are no sales that day, at the latest bid quotation.
Each over-the-counter security for which the last sale price on
the day of valuation is available from NASDAQ is valued at that
price.
All other over-the-counter securities for which reliable
quotations are available are valued at the latest bid quotation.
Other assets and securities are valued at a fair value determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors.
HOW TO PURCHASE FUND SHARES
An initial purchase of shares of the Fund may be made by
sending a properly completed Share Purchase Application to the
Fund. The minimum initial purchase of shares is $10,000.
Related party accounts and retirement accounts require a
minimum initial purchase of $5,000. Related party accounts are
defined as those accounts opened with the Fund under the same tax
identification number, or those accounts opened by a family
member or relative of an existing shareholder. The offering
price for the Fund's shares is equal to the net asset value per
share (determined in the manner described under "Determination of
Net Asset Value") as determined as soon as possible after the
close of the New York Stock Exchange on the day that the purchase
order is received and accepted by the Fund. Orders received by
the Fund after the close of the New York Stock Exchange will be
confirmed at the net asset value determined at the close of the
New York Stock Exchange on the next business day. All purchases
must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S.
banks. No cash will be accepted.
Whole shares may be purchased from the Fund. No fractional
shares will be issued. Unless otherwise requested by the client,
any residual cash resulting from the purchase or sale of shares
will remain in the Fund until the shareholder's next transaction.
The Fund maintains a book-entry-only system with regard to Fund
shares. Fund share certificates will not be issued.
The minimums for subsequent purchases do not apply to shares
purchased pursuant to the reinvestment of income dividends and
capital gain distributions. The minimums may be changed at any
time. Shareholders will be given at least thirty days notice of
any increase in the minimums.
All orders to purchase shares are subject to the Fund's
acceptance and are not binding until so accepted. All orders to
purchase shares that are accepted will be processed at the net
asset value next determined after receipt of the purchase order
as provided herein regardless of the date of acceptance. The
Fund may decline to accept a purchase order when in the judgment
of management the acceptance of an order is not in the best
interests of existing shareholders.
HOW TO REDEEM FUND SHARES
Shareholders of the Fund may request redemption of their
shares at any time as provided herein. The redemption price
shall be equal to the net asset value next determined after
receipt by the Fund's transfer agent of a request for redemption
submitted in proper form. See "Determination of Net Asset
Value." The value of the shares on redemption may be more or
less than their original cost, depending upon the then-current
market value of the Fund's investments.
Shares may be redeemed by submitting a written request for
redemption to the Fund. A written redemption request to the
Fund, as transfer agent, must specify (i) the name of the Fund,
(ii) the dollar amount or specific number of shares to be
redeemed, and (iii) the shareholder's name and account number.
The redemption request must be signed by each registered owner
exactly as the shares are registered. The Fund, at its
discretion, may require a signature guarantee for redemption from
a bank, trust company, savings and loan association, a member of
a national stock exchange for redemption, or any other financial
institution authorized to guarantee signatures. Requests for
redemption by telephone or telegram and requests that are subject
to any special conditions or that specify an effective date or
other than as provided herein cannot be honored.
For accounts registered in the name of corporations or
associations, the redemption request must include a corporate
resolution certified by a duly authorized officer of the
corporation or association, with such officer's signature
guaranteed. For accounts registered in the name of a trust, the
redemption request must be signed by each trustee registered on
the account with each signature guaranteed. Questions with
respect to the proper form of redemption requests should be
directed to the Transfer Agent at (312) 236-5388.
A redemption request simultaneously received with an address
change must be accompanied by a signature guarantee. The
guarantor of a signature must be a national bank or trust
company, a member of the Federal Reserve System or a member firm
of a national securities exchange or any other financial
institution authorized to guarantee signatures. The Transfer
Agent reserves the right to reject the signature guarantee of an
institution if such rejection would be in the best interests of
the Fund and its shareholders. Notwithstanding the above,
signature guarantees will be required where there appears to be
a pattern of redemptions designed to circumvent the signature
guarantee requirement, or where the Fund has other reason to
believe that this requirement would be in the best interests of
the Fund and its shareholders.
The proceeds of redemptions will ordinarily be mailed within
seven business days after receipt of a properly completed
redemption request. It is mandatory that the Fund redeem shares
upon the proper request of a shareholder. When shares are
purchased by check, the Fund reserves the right to delay
redemption of shares until it is satisfied that the investor's
check used to purchase shares has cleared. Local checks
generally are collected in three business days and non-local
checks may take longer in certain circumstances.
The right of redemption may be suspended during any period
when: (a) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or such
Exchange is closed for other than weekends and holidays; (b) the
Securities and Exchange Commission has by order permitted such
suspension; or (c) an emergency as determined by the Securities
and Exchange Commission exists, making disposal of portfolio
securities or valuation of net assets of the Fund not reasonably
practicable. A shareholder's account may be terminated by the
Fund if, at the time of any transfer or redemption of shares of
the Fund in the account at the current offering price falls below
$1000. The Fund will notify a shareholder of its intention to
terminate the account and provide the shareholder with not less
than thirty days to make additional investments.
Questions regarding redemptions and the procedures that must
be followed should be directed to the Fund as Transfer Agent, One
First National Plaza, Suite 2594, Chicago, Illinois 60603, (312)
236-5388.
SHAREHOLDER PLANS
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Unless a shareholder elects otherwise by notice to the Fund,
all income dividends and all capital gains distributions payable
on shares of the Fund will be reinvested in additional shares of
the Fund at the net asset value in effect on the dividend or
distribution payment date. The Fund acts as the shareholder's
agent to reinvest dividends and distributions in additional
shares and hold for his/her account the additional full shares so
acquired. Any surplus over whole shares will be paid in cash. A
shareholder may at any time change his/her election as to whether
to receive his/her dividends and distributions in cash or have
them reinvested by giving written notice of such change of
election to the Fund. Such change of election applies to
dividends and distributions the record dates of which fall on or
after the date that the Fund receives the written notice.
RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Shares of the Fund may be purchased or redeemed for
retirement accounts through New York Stock Exchange registered
brokerage firms having a relationship with the Fund. Typically,
a shareholder will elect to custody his or her retirement account
at a brokerage firm. Upon the shareholder's direction to
purchase shares of the Fund for his or her retirement account,
the brokerage firm will effect a written order for the purchase
of Fund shares. Any such purchase or redemption will not be
effective until the order or request is received by the Fund.
Retirement account holdings, including the Fund, will appear
monthly on the retirement account statement issued directly by
the relevant brokerage firm.
The minimum initial investment for retirement accounts is
$5,000 and $1,000 for subsequent purchases. There are no
additional Fund charges for retirement accounts. Brokerage firms
usually charge a fixed yearly fee for the custody and
administration of retirement accounts.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
Distributions
Dividends from the Fund's net investment income as well as
distributions designated as capital gains will ordinarily be
declared and paid annually in such a manner as to avoid paying
income tax on the Fund's net investment income and net realized
capital gains or being subject to a federal excise tax on
undistributed net investment income and net realized capital
gains. Such distributions and dividends will typically be made
in December. As current income is not an objective of the Fund,
the amount of dividends will likely be small. There is no fixed
dividend rate and there can be no assurance as to the payment of
any dividends or the realization of any gains.
Taxes
The Fund intends to maintain its qualification as a
"regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code by
distributing as dividends not less than 90% of its taxable income
and by continuing to comply with all other requirements of
Subchapter M of the Code. If the Fund qualifies, the Fund will
not be liable for Federal income taxes on amounts paid by it as
dividends and distributions.
For Federal income tax purposes, dividends paid by the Fund
and distributions from short-term capital gains, whether received
in cash or reinvested in additional shares, are taxable as
ordinary income. Distributions paid by the Fund from long-term
capital gains whether received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares, are taxable as long-term capital gains,
regardless of the length of time you have owned shares in the
Fund. The distributions are taxable whether you receive them in
cash or in additional shares. If you are not required to pay tax
on your income, you will not be required to pay Federal income
taxes on the amounts distributed to you. Dividends and capital
gain distributions declared in December and paid the following
January will be taxable in the year they are declared.
The Fund is required to withhold Federal income tax at a
rate of 31% ("backup withholding") from dividend payments,
distributions and redemption proceeds if a shareholder fails to
furnish the Fund with his/her social security or other tax
identification number ("TIN") and certify under penalty of
perjury that such number is correct and that he/she is not
subject to backup withholding due to the underreporting of
income. The certification form is included as part of the Share
Purchase Application and should be completed when the account is
established.
If you do not have a tax identification number, you should
indicate on the application form whether a number has been
applied for. The Fund may be required to backup withhold if a
certified TIN is not delivered to the Fund within 7 days.
Distributions by the Fund may subject an investor to state
and local taxes on the distributions, depending on the laws of a
shareholder's home state and locality. Because this section is
not intended to be a full discussion of present or proposed
Federal income tax law and its effect on shareholders,
shareholders are urged to consult their own tax adviser.
CAPITAL STOCK
The Fund is a corporation organized under the laws of the State
of Illinois and was incorporated on October 24, 1988. The Fund
has 10,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock. Each share
has one vote and all shares participate equally in dividends and
other distributions by the Fund and in the residual assets of the
Fund in the event of liquidation. Shares of the Fund have no
preemptive rights and no conversion or subscription rights.
Shareholders are entitled to redeem shares as set forth under
"How to Redeem Shares." The investor will be the record owner of
all shares in his account with full shareholder rights.
SHAREHOLDER REPORTS AND MEETINGS
The Fund will provide to shareholders annual reports
containing certified financial statements. Additionally,
shareholders will receive other periodic reports, at least semi-
annually, containing unaudited financial statements.
Shareholders will receive a confirmation after each transaction
affecting his or her account with the Fund. The annual meeting
of the shareholders of the Fund shall be held in the month of
March. Any inquiries concerning the Fund may be made by
telephone (312) 236-5388, or by writing to the Fund at One First
National Plaza, Suite 2594, Chicago, Illinois 60603.

THE FUND
Kenilworth Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is a
no-load, open-end non-diversified management investment
company commonly called a "mutual fund." As a no-load fund, the
Fund does not impose sales charges, 12b-
1 charges, or redemption fees. The Fund was organized as an
Illinois corporation on October 24, 1988.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is
long-term capital appreciation which it seeks by investing
primarily in
a non-diversified portfolio of common stocks, preferred stocks,
warrants to purchase common stocks,
convertible bonds, fixed-income obligations of corporations and
the United States government, and securities
convertible into common stocks of corporations. Although the
Fund seeks to invest substantially all its assets
in common stocks, the composition of the Fund's portfolio will
vary depending upon the Adviser's perception
of current and future market and economic conditions. The Fund
may, for temporary defensive purposes
and to meet its redemption requirements, invest some of its
assets in money market securities, including U.S.
government obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, commercial paper or cash or cash
equivalents. The Fund does not intend to invest in any security
which, at the time of purchase, is not readily
marketable. The Fund does not retain securities that
subsequently become illiquid. The Fund does not
intend to place emphasis on short-term trading profits. However,
when circumstances warrant, investment
securities may be sold from time to time without regard to the
length of time they have been held.
The Fund's investment advisor expects
that under normal circumstances its the Fund's anticipated
portfolio turnover rate will not exceed 50%. However, this rate
should not be construed as a limiting factor
and the portfolio turnover rate may exceed 50% when the
investment advisor deems changes appropriate.
Nonetheless, the Fund will not change its investment objective of
long-term capital appreciation. The annual
portfolio turnover rate indicates changes in the Fund's
portfolio. For instance, a rate of 100% would result if
all the securities in the portfolio (excluding securities whose
maturities at acquisition were one year or less)
at the beginning of an annual period had been replaced by the end
of the period. The Fund intends to limit
turnover so that realized short-term gains on securities held for
less than three months do not exceed 30% of
adjusted gross income in order to derive the benefits of
favorable tax treatment available to regulated
investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund is designed for investors with
a long-term investment perspective (and not with a view to
playing short-term swings in the market). Investors should be
aware that up to 100% of the Fund's portfolio
may be invested in common stocks and other equity-type
securities. To the extent that the Fund's portfolio
is primarily invested in common stocks and other equity-type
securities, the Fund's net asset value may be
subject to greater fluctuation than a portfolio containing a
substantial amount of fixed income securities.
There can be no assurance that the objective of the Fund will be
realized or that any income will be earned.
Nor can there be assurance that the Fund's portfolio will not
decline in value.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Fund has adopted certain investment
restrictions which are presented below, and which, together
with the investment objective of the Fund, cannot be changed
without approval by holders of a majority of
the Fund's outstanding voting shares. As defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, this means the
lesser of (a) 67% of the shares of the Fund at a meeting where
more than 50% of the outstanding shares are
present in person or by proxy; or (b) more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of the Fund.
Certain restrictions referred to in the
foregoing paragraph are summarized below. The Fund will not:
(1) Act as underwriter for securities of
other issuers except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an
underwriter in disposing of its own portfolio securities;
(2) Borrow money or purchase securities on
margin, but may obtain such short term credit from banks as
may be necessary for clearance of purchases and sales of
securities for temporary or emergency purposes in
an amount not exceeding 5% of the value of its total assets;
(3) Invest more than 25% of its assets at
the time of purchase in any one industry;
(4) Invest in securities of other investment
companies except as part of a merger, consolidation, or
purchase of assets approved by the Fund's shareholders or by
purchases with no more than 10% of the
Fund's assets in the open market involving only customary
broker's commissions;
(5) Make investments in commodities,
commodity contracts or real estate although the Fund may
purchase and sell securities of companies which deal in real
estate or interests therein;
(6) The Fund may not purchase or retain
securities of any issuer if those officers and directors of the
Fund or its Investment Adviser owning individually more than 1/2
of 1% of any class of security collectively
own more than 5% of such class of securities of such issuer;
(7) Pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or
otherwise encumber any of its assets, except as a temporary
measure
for extraordinary or emergency purposes, and then not in excess
of 15% of its assets taken at cost;
(8) Invest in restricted, illiquid or other
securities without readily available market quotations; and
(9) Purchase the securities of any issuer
if, at the time of acquisition it would own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one company;
(10) Invest in companies for the primary
purpose of acquiring control of management thereof;
(11) Purchase securities on margin, except
such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of
transactions and make short sales of securities (except short
sales against the box);
(12) Make loans, except that this restriction
shall not prohibit the purchase and holding of a portion of an
issue of publicly distributed debt securities;
(13) Purchase securities of any company
having less than three years continuous operation (including
operations of any predecessors) if such purchase would cause the
value of the Fund's investments in all such
companies to exceed 5% of the value of its assets;
(14) Invest more than 5% of its total assets
in warrants, whether or not the warrants are listed on the New
York Stock Exchange, or more than 2% of the value of the assets
of the Fund in warrants which are not
listed on those exchanges. Warrants acquired in units or
attached to securities are not included in this
restriction. <PAGE>

</TABLE>
Investment Adviser
The Fund has entered into an Investment
Advisory Agreement ("Advisory Agreement") with Institutional
Portfolio Services, Ltd., One First National Plaza, Suite 2594,
Chicago, Illinois 60603 (the "Adviser"). Mr. B.
Padmanabha Pai is the sole shareholder, principal executive
officer and director of the Adviser. From 1969
to 1978, the Adviser performed investment advisory services for
various clients as a sole-proprietor. On July
26, 1978, the Adviser incorporated itself as an Illinois
corporation, and since that time to the present day
performs investment advisory services for various clients. While
the Adviser has not served as an investment
adviser to an investment company in the past, it has served as an
investment adviser to wealthy individuals
and corporate pension plans on an individual account basis for
the past 27 years. The Adviser is
registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940.
The Advisory Agreement provides that the
Adviser shall manage the Fund's investments and shall
determine the Fund's portfolio transactions and shall be
responsible for overall management of the Fund's
business affairs, subject to the supervision of the Board of
Directors. As compensation for its services, the
Fund pays to the Adviser a monthly advisory fee at the annual
rate of 1% per year on the net assets of the
Fund. All fees are computed on the average daily closing net
asset value of the Fund and are payable
monthly. The fee paid to the investment adviser is higher than
that paid by most investment companies.
For the fiscal years ending December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995,
the Adviser was paid $5,992, $31,074and
$43,866, respectively. The Adviser waived the advisory fee
for the Fund's first three months in
operation to protect and maintain shareholder capital value
during the early start up period.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the
Adviser provides the Fund with investment advisory services,
office
space and personnel. The Adviser also pays the salaries of those
of the Fund's employees, officers and
directors who are also employees, officers, and/or directors of
the Adviser. Additionally, the Adviser pays all
other executive salaries and executive expenses, charges for all
clerical services relating to the Fund's
investments and all promotional expenses of the Fund, including
the printing and mailing of the prospectus
to other than current shareholders.
The Fund pays all of its other costs and
expenses including interest, taxes, salaries of its employees,
fees
of directors who are not employees, officers, or directors of the
Adviser, administrative expenses related
directly to the issuance and redemption of shares (such as
expenses of registering or qualifying shares for
sale, charges of custodians, transfer agents, and registrars),
costs of printing and mailing reports and notices
to shareholders, charges for auditing services and legal
services, and other fees and commissions of every
kind not expressly assumed by the Adviser. (See section below
titled: "Administrative & Management
Services"). The Funds expenses are limited, however, by an
excess reimbursement provision in the Advisory
Agreement. If the annual operating and management expenses
(excluding taxes and interest) exceeds 1.7%
of the average net assets of the Fund, the Advisory Agreement
requires the Adviser to reimburse the Fund
for any such excess on a monthly basis.
Administrative & Management Services
The Fund has entered into an
Administrative & Management Services Agreement (the
"Administrative
Services Agreement") with the Fund's investment adviser,
Institutional Portfolio Services, Ltd., ("IPS"). The
Administrative Services Agreement requires IPS to provide
recordkeeping, computer software and
development and other operations management services for the
Fund. IPS will be paid the sum of $20,000
per year. As stated in the above-mentioned section titled:
"Investment Adviser", if the Fund's annual
operating and management expenses exceed 1.7% of the average net
assets of the Fund, the Fund's
investment adviser will reimburse the Fund for any excess on a
monthly basis.
Custodian & Transfer Agent
The Fund acts as its own custodian and
transfer agent. The Fund will comply with all provisions of Rule
17f-2 of the Act in regard to self-custodianship. Specifically,
there will be three independent audits annually
with at least two of the audits unannounced.
PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS
As of April 25, 1995, the following
persons owned of record 5 percent or more of the Fund's shares
outstanding:
(1) Donald Lindsay Income Trust, P.O. Box 4076, Vero Beach, FL
(6.04%); (2) Marjorie Lindsay
Remainder Trust, P.O. Box 7127 Indian Lake Estate, FL (10.76%);
(3) Shirley Lindsay Trust, P.O.Box
7127, Indian Lake Estate, FL (13.47%); (4) Shirley Lindsay
Income Trust, P.O. Box 4076, Vero Beach, FL
(6.04%); (5) B.P. Pai, One First National Plaza, Chicago, IL
(13.28% record owner; 8.69% beneficial
owner - owned of record by Institutional Portfolio Services,
Ltd.)
All directors and officers of the Fund,
as a group, own 104,450 shares beneficially, directly and/or
indirectly or 28.06% of the Fund's total shares outstanding.
BROKERAGE ALLOCATION
The Fund requires all brokers to effect
transactions in portfolio securities in such a manner as to get
prompt execution of the orders at the most favorable price. The
Fund places all orders for purchase and
sale of its portfolio securities through the Fund President who
is answerable to the Fund Board of Directors.
The President may select brokers who, in addition to meeting the
primary requirements of execution and
price, have furnished statistical or other factual information
and services, which, in the opinion of
management, are helpful or necessary to the Fund's normal
operations. Those services may include
economic studies, industry studies, security analyses and
reports, sales literature and statistical devices
furnished either directly to the Fund or to the Adviser. No
effort is made in any given circumstance to
determine the value of these materials or services or the amount
they might have reduced expenses of the
Adviser.
Other than set forth above, the Fund has
no fixed policy, formula, method or criteria which it uses in
allocating brokerage business to brokers furnishing these
materials and services. The Board of Directors
evaluates and reviews the reasonableness of brokerage commissions
paid semiannually. For the fiscal
years ending December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, the Fund paid
$3,253, $3,780 and $12,263, respectively, in
brokerage commissions. Trading in 1995 increased significantly
from prior years as a result of a strong
market environment.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of the
Fund is determined as soon as possible after the close of trading
on
the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 P.M., Eastern
Standard Time) on days in which the Exchange
is open for business, except that the net asset value will not be
computed on a day in which no orders to
purchase shares were received and no shares were tendered for
redemption. The net asset value per share is
calculated by adding the value of all securities, cash or other
assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing the
remainder by the number of shares outstanding.
Each security traded on a national stock
exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the
day of valuation or, if there are no sales that day, at the
latest bid quotation. Each over-the-counter security
for which the last sale price on the day of valuation is
available from NASDAQ is valued at that price.
All other over-the-counter securities
for which reliable quotations are available are valued at the
latest bid
quotation. Other assets and securities are valued at a fair
value determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.
HOW TO PURCHASE FUND SHARES
An initial purchase of shares of the
Fund may be made by sending a properly completed Share Purchase
Application to the Fund. The minimum initial purchase of shares
is $10,000. Related party accounts
and retirement accounts require a minimum initial purchase of
$5,000. Related party accounts are defined as
those accounts opened with the Fund under the same tax
identification number, or those accounts opened
by a family member or relative of an existing shareholder.
The offering price for the Fund's shares is
equal to the net asset value per share (determined in the manner
described under "Determination of Net
Asset Value") as determined as soon as possible after the close
of the New York Stock Exchange on the day
that the purchase order is received and accepted by the Fund.
Orders received by the Fund after the close
of the New York Stock Exchange will be confirmed at the net asset
value determined at the close of the New
York Stock Exchange on the next business day. All purchases must
be made in U.S. dollars and checks must
be drawn on U.S. banks. No cash will be accepted.
Purchases subsequent to the initial
purchase may be made by mail to the address given in the
Prospectus.
Minimum subsequent purchases of shares is $1,000.
Whole shares may be purchased from the
Fund. No fractional shares will be issued. Unless otherwise
requested by the client, any residual cash resulting from the
purchase or sale of shares will remain in the
Fund until the shareholder's next transaction. The Fund
maintains a book-entry-only system with regard to
Fund shares. Fund share certificates will not be issued.
The minimums for subsequent purchases do
not apply to shares purchased pursuant to the reinvestment
of income dividends and capital gain distributions. The minimums
may be changed at any time.
Shareholders will be given at least thirty days notice of any
increase in the minimums.
All orders to purchase shares are
subject to the Fund's acceptance and are not binding until so
accepted.
All orders to purchase shares that are accepted will be processed
at the net asset value next determined after
receipt of the purchase order as provided herein regardless of
the date of acceptance. The Fund may decline
to accept a purchase order when in the judgment of management the
acceptance of an order is not in the
best interests of existing shareholders.
HOW TO REDEEM FUND SHARES
Shareholders of the Fund may request
redemption of their shares at any time as provided herein. The
redemption price shall be equal to the net asset value next
determined after receipt by the Fund's transfer
agent of a request for redemption submitted in proper form. See
"Determination of Net Asset Value." The
value of the shares on redemption may be more or less than their
original cost, depending upon the then-
current market value of the Fund's investments.
Shares may be redeemed by submitting a
written request for redemption to the Fund. A written
redemption request to the Fund, as transfer agent, must specify
(i) the name of the Fund, (ii) the dollar
amount or specific number of shares to be redeemed, and (iii) the
shareholder's name and account number.
The redemption request must be signed by each registered owner
exactly as the shares are registered. The
Fund, at its discretion, may require a signature guarantee for
redemption from a bank, trust company,
savings and loan association, a member of a national stock
exchange, or any other financial institution
authorized to guarantee signatures. Requests for redemption by
telephone or telegram and requests that are
subject to any special conditions or that specify an effective
date or other than as provided herein cannot be
honored.
For accounts registered in the name of
corporations or associations, the redemption request must include
a corporate resolution certified by a duly authorized officer of
the corporation or association, with such
officer's signature guaranteed. For accounts registered in the
name of a trust, the redemption request must
be signed by each trustee registered on the account with each
signature guaranteed. Questions with respect
to the proper form of redemption requests should be directed to
the Transfer Agent at (312) 236-5388.
A redemption request simultaneously
received with an address change must be accompanied by a
signature guarantee. The guarantor of a signature must be a
national bank or trust company, a member of
the Federal Reserve System or a member firm of a national
securities exchange or any other financial
institution authorized to guarantee signatures. The Transfer
Agent reserves the right to reject the signature
guarantee of an institution if such rejection would be in the
best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
Notwithstanding the above, signature guarantees will be required
where there appears to be a pattern of
redemptions designed to circumvent the signature guarantee
requirement, or where the Fund has other
reason to believe that this requirement would be in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
The proceeds of redemptions will
ordinarily be mailed within seven business days after receipt of
a
properly completed redemption request. It is mandatory that the
Fund redeem shares upon the proper
request of a shareholder. When shares are purchased by check,
the Fund reserves the right to delay
redemption of shares until it is satisfied that the investor's
check used to purchase shares has cleared. Local
checks generally are collected in three business days and
non-local checks may take longer in certain
circumstances.
The right of redemption may be suspended
during any period when: (a) trading on the New York Stock
Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or such Exchange is
closed for other than weekends and holidays; (b) the Securities
and Exchange Commission has by order
permitted such suspension; or (c) an emergency as determined by
the Securities and Exchange Commission
exists, making disposal of portfolio securities or valuation of
net assets of the Fund not reasonably
practicable. A shareholder's account may be terminated by the
Fund if, at the time of any transfer or
redemption of shares of the Fund in the account at the current
offering price falls below $1000. The Fund
will notify a shareholder of its intention to terminate the
account and provide the shareholder with not less
than thirty days to make additional investments.
Questions regarding redemptions and the
procedures that must be followed should be directed to the
Fund as Transfer Agent, One First National Plaza, Suite 2594,
Chicago, Illinois 60603, (312) 236-5388.
SHAREHOLDER PLANS
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Unless a shareholder elects otherwise by
notice to the Fund, all income dividends and all capital gains
distributions payable on shares of the Fund will be reinvested in
additional shares of the Fund at the net
asset value in effect on the dividend or distribution payment
date. The Fund acts as the shareholder's agent
to reinvest dividends and distributions in additional shares and
hold for his/her account the additional full
shares so acquired. Any surplus over whole shares will be paid
in cash. A shareholder may at any time
change his/her election as to whether to receive his/her
dividends and distributions in cash or have them
reinvested by giving written notice of such change of election to
the Fund. Such change of election applies to
dividends and distributions the record dates of which fall on or
after the date that the Fund receives the
written notice.
RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Shares of the Fund may be purchased or
redeemed for retirement accounts through New York Stock
Exchange registered brokerage firms having a relationship with
the Fund. Typically, a shareholder will elect
to custody his or her retirement account at a brokerage firm.
Upon the shareholder's direction to purchase
shares of the Fund for his or her retirement account, the
brokerage firm will effect a written order for the
purchase of Fund shares. Any such purchase or redemption will
not be effective until the order or request is
received by the Fund. Retirement account holdings, including the
Fund, will appear monthly on the
retirement account statement issued directly by the relevant
brokerage firm.
The minimum initial investment for
retirement accounts is $5,000 and $1,000 for subsequent
purchases. There are no additional Fund charges for
retirement accounts. Brokerage firms usually
charge a fixed yearly fee for the custody and administration of
retirement accounts.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
Distributions
Dividends from the Fund's net investment
income as well as distributions designated as capital gains will
ordinarily be declared and paid annually in such a manner as to
avoid paying income tax on the Fund's net
investment income and net realized capital gains or being subject
to a federal excise tax on undistributed net
investment income and net realized capital gains. Such
distributions and dividends will typically be made in
December. As current income is not an objective of the Fund, the
amount of dividends will likely be small.
There is no fixed dividend rate and there can be no assurance as
to the payment of any dividends or the
realization of any gains.
Taxes
The Fund intends to maintain its
qualification as a "regulated investment company" under the
Internal
Revenue Code by distributing as dividends not less than 90% of
its taxable income and by continuing to
comply with all other requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.
If the Fund qualified, the Fund will not
be liable for Federal income taxes on amounts paid by it as
dividends and distributions.
For Federal income tax purposes,
dividends paid by the Fund and distributions from short-term
capital
gains, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional
shares, are taxable as ordinary income.
Distributions paid by the Fund from long-term capital gains
whether received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares, are taxable as long-term capital gains,
regardless of the length of time you have owned
shares in the Fund. The distributions are taxable whether you
receive them in cash or in additional shares.
If you are not required to pay tax on your income, you will not
be required to pay Federal income taxes on
the amounts distributed to you. Dividends and capital gain
distributions declared in December and paid the
following January will be taxable in the year they are declared.
The Fund is required to withhold Federal
income tax at a rate of 31% ("backup withholding") from
dividend payments, distributions and redemption proceeds if a
shareholder fails to furnish the Fund with
his/her social security or other tax identification number
("TIN") and certify under penalty of perjury that
such number is correct and that he/she is not subject to backup
withholding due to the underreporting of
income. The certification form is included as part of the Share
Purchase Application and should be
completed when the account is established.
If you do not have a tax identification
number, you should indicate on the application form whether a
number has been applied for. The Fund may be required to backup
withhold if a certified TIN is not
delivered to the Fund within 7 days.
Distributions by the Fund may subject an
investor to state and local taxes on the distributions, depending
on the laws of a shareholder's home state and locality. Because
this section is not intended to be a full
discussion of present or proposed Federal income tax law and its
effect on shareholders, shareholders are
urged to consult their own tax adviser.
CAPITAL STOCK
The Fund is a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Illinois and was incorporated on
October 24, 1988. The Fund has 10,000,000 shares of authorized
capital stock. Each share has one vote and
all shares participate equally in dividends and other
distributions by the Fund and in the residual assets of
the Fund in the event of liquidation. Shares of the Fund have no
preemptive rights and no conversion or
subscription rights. Shareholders are entitled to redeem shares
as set forth under "How to Redeem Shares."
The investor will be the record owner of all shares in his
account with full shareholder rights.
SHAREHOLDER REPORTS AND MEETINGS
The Fund will provide to shareholders
annual reports containing certified financial statements.
Additionally, shareholders will receive other periodic reports,
at least semi-annually, containing unaudited
financial statements. Shareholders will receive a confirmation
after each transaction affecting his or her
account with the Fund. The annual meeting of the shareholders of
the Fund shall be held in the month of
March. Any inquiries concerning the Fund may be made by
telephone (312) 236-5388, or by writing to the
Fund at One First National Plaza, Suite 2594, Chicago, Illinois
60603.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996
The Kenilworth Fund, Inc., (the "Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a no-load, open-end, non-
diversified management investment company.
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 as a no-load, open-end, non-diversified management
investment company. The Fund's objective is long-term capital
appreciation which it seeks by investing primarily in a non-
diversified portfolio of common stocks, preferred stocks,
warrants to purchase common stocks, convertible bonds and fixed-
income obligations of corporations and the United States
government. Its books and records are maintained on the accrual
basis. Securities are valued at their last sale price as
reported on a securities exchange, or at their last bid price as
applicable. Short term instruments are valued at cost which
approximates market value. Cost amounts, as reported on the
statement of net assets, are the same for federal income tax
purposes. For the year ended December 31, 1996, purchases and
sales of investment securities were $4,381,562 and $4,435,247
respectively.
b. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date
and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains
and losses from security transactions are reported on an
identified cost basis.
c. Provision has not been made for federal income tax since
the Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment
company" and intends to distribute substantially all its income
to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies.
d. As of December 31, 1996 there were 10,000,000 shares of
capital stock authorized.
e. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from
operations during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
2. Investment Adviser and Investment Advisory Agreement and
Transactions with Related Parties:
The Fund has signed two agreements with Institutional Portfolio
Services, Ltd., ("IPS"), with whom certain officers of the Fund
are affiliated. Under the terms of the first agreement (the
investment advisory agreement) the Fund will pay IPS a monthly
investment advisory fee at the annual rate of 1.0% of the daily
net assets of the Fund. Under the terms of the second agreement
(the administrative and management services agreement) the Fund
will pay IPS a yearly administrative and management services fee
of $20,000 per year payable on a quarterly basis. The advisory
agreement requires the adviser to reimburse the Fund in the event
that the expenses of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed 1.7%.
3. Sources of Net Assets:
As of December 31, 1996, the sources of net assets were as
follows:
Fund shares issued and outstanding $4,954,767
Unrealized Appreciation of Investments 2,267,521
Total $7,222,288
Aggregate Net Unrealized Appreciation as of December 31, 1996
consisted of the following:
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation: $2,279,912
Aggregate gross unrealized deprecation: (12,391)
Net unrealized appreciation: $2,267,521<PAGE>

Item 26. Number of Holders of Securities: As of
April 30, 1996 there were seventy-eight
(78) Fund shareholders of record.
The Fund has one class of stock outstanding.
Item 27. Indemnification of Directors and
Officers: Insofar as indemnification for liability arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"1933 Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 28. Business and Other Connections of
Investment Adviser: Institutional Portfolio Services, Ltd.,
("IPS") currently acts as investment
adviser for corporations and pension plans and is
