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.

time the Fund does not make payments to its Directors. All

the Fund are paid by the Adviser.
</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. Since 1969, the investment advisor has served as an
investment adviser to wealthy individuals and corporate pension
plans. 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 $30,000 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 at
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.

</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. Since 1969, the investment advisor has served as an
investment advisor 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, 1995,
1996 and 1997, the Adviser was paid $5,992, $31,074, $43,866,
$59,220 and $90,314 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 $30,000 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 27, 1998, the following persons owned of
record 5 percent or more of the Fund's shares outstanding:
(1) Marjorie Lindsay Remainder Trust, P.O. Box 7127
Indian Lake Estate, FL (7.71%); (2) Shirley Lindsay Trust,
P.O.Box 7127, Indian Lake Estate, FL (9.65%); (3) B.P. Pai, One
First National Plaza, Chicago, IL (6.47%); (4) Institutional
Portfolio Services, Ltd., One First National Plaza, Chicago, IL
(6.22%).
All directors and officers of the Fund, as a group, own
139,983 shares beneficially, directly and/or indirectly or
25.40% 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, <D>1994</D>, 1995, 1996 and 1997 the
Fund paid <D>$3,780,</D> $12,263, $15,298 and $20,598
respectively, in brokerage commissions.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of the
Fund is determined at 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, 1997
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, 1997, purchases and sales of
investment securities were $8,180,748 and $7,002,258
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, 1997 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 $30,000 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, 1997, the sources of net assets were as
follows:
Fund shares issued and outstanding $6,201,831
Unrealized Appreciation of Investments 3,587,978
Total $9,789,809
Aggregate Net Unrealized Appreciation as of December 31, 1997
consisted of the following:
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation: $3,590,065
Aggregate gross unrealized deprecation: (2,087)
Net unrealized appreciation: $3,587,978

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of the
Kenilworth Fund, Inc.
Chicago, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of
Kenilworth Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 1997, and the related
statements of operations for the year then ended, and changes in
net assets, and financial highlights for each of the two years
and the period then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits. The financial highlights of Kenilworth Fund,
Inc. for periods prior to December 31, 1996, were audited by
other auditors, whose report, dated January 15, 1996, expressed
an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included verification by examination
of securities owned and confirmation with securities brokers as
of December 31, 1997. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Kenilworth Fund, Inc. as of December
31, 1997, the results of its operations for the year then ended,
and changes in its net assets, and financial highlights for each
of the two years for the period then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1998 there were one hundred and twenty-four (124) Fund

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

Item 32. Undertakings: The Fund will undertake, if requested to
do so by at least 10% of the Fund's outstanding shares, to call a
