         "WORLD'S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER FREE AGENT IN 1994." LOUIS RUKEYSER,
                    LOUIS RUKEYSER'S MUTUAL FUNDS MARCH 1995

Expectations were extremely high for me in 1994, as I made the decision to leave
the fund  family I worked  for in order to search  for a new "home" to foster my
insatiable  appetite for growth. A year and a half has gone by since I teamed up
with  United  Services.  Since  that  time,  I have  tried very hard to meet and
surpass all expectations  that were set for me. For 1995, the Bonnel Growth Fund
provided investors a total annual return of 45.22%.

Thank  you for  stopping  by the  United  Services  booth  at  Louis  Rukeyser's
conference  in Las  Vegas  earlier  this  month.  I hope  that you  enjoyed  the
conference  and its many  renowned  speakers.  You certainly had the pleasure of
listening  to, and  perhaps  even  meeting  with,  some of this  country's  true
investment
masters.

If you  participated  in any growth fund during 1995,  chances are good that you
also had a very  successful  investment  year. 1995 was a fabulous year for most
growth  fund  managers,  as many  of us were  able  to  bring  our  shareholders
exceptional asset growth. With a new year underway,  it's time to uncover unique
investment  options  and  prepare for new  challenges.  Please find  enclosed my
forecast  for 1996 in  which I have  shared  a few  points  that you may want to
consider as you  position  your  portfolio to take  advantage of the  investment
opportunities that 1996 may bring us. 


Sincerely,

/s/ Art Bonnel

Art Bonnel
Portfolio Manager
