Def ined Asset FundsSM
Defined Asset Funds is America's oldest and largest family of unit investment
trusts, with over $95 billion sponsored since 1971. Each Defined Asset Fund is a
portfolio of preselected securities. The portfolio is divided into 'units'
representing equal shares of the underlying assets. Each unit receives an equal
share of income and principal distributions.
Defined Asset Funds offer several defined 'distinctives'. You know in advance
what you are investing in and that changes in the portfolio are limited - a
defined portfolio. Most defined bond funds pay interest monthly - defined
income. The portfolio offers a convenient and simple way to invest - simplicity
defined.
Your financial professional can help you select a Defined Asset Fund to meet
your personal investment objectives. Our size and market presence enable us to
offer a wide variety of investments. The Defined Asset Funds family offers:
o Municipal portfolios
o Corporate portfolios
o Government portfolios
o Equity portfolios
o International portfolios
The terms of Defined Funds are as short as one year or as long as 30 years.
Special defined bond funds are available including: insured funds, double and
triple tax-free funds and funds with 'laddered maturities' to help protect
against changing interest rates. Defined Asset Funds are offered by prospectus
only.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Defined Select Growth Portfolio
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio contains ten common stocks selected through the application of a
quantitative model developed by O'Shaughnessy Capital Management, designed to
identify those stocks that have a strong potential for increasing earnings and
thus providing capital appreciation. This Select Growth Series permits investors
to buy and hold the Portfolio for approximately one year. At the end of the
year, the Portfolio is adjusted through reapplication of the model and investors
may reinvest in the new Portfolio, if available.
The Stocks included in the Portfolio were selected for their potential for
growth rates in earnings per share, reasonable valuation levels and strong
recent price performance, from a database of 1,600 common stocks with
capitalizations averaging $3.2 billion and ranging from $19 million to $87
billion. O'Shaughnessy Capital Management, Inc. applied its Model which
identifies stocks with the following characteristics, among others: (i) expected
growth rates of earnings per share of at least 20% over the next fiscal year;
(ii) expected annual growth rates of at least 20% over the next three to five
years; (iii) a price to earnings ratio not exceeding the expected earnings
growth rate over the next three to five years; (iv) strong recent price
performance; and (v) a minimum market capitalization of $750 million. Defined
Asset Funds research analysts then reviewed the identified stocks for liquidity,
market capitalization and other factors. Because there is no active management
of the Portfolio, the Sponsors anticipate that the Portfolio will remain
unchanged over its one-year life despite adverse developments concerning an
issuer, an industry or the economy or stock market generally.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Defining Your Portfolio
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Investing in the Portfolio, rather than in only one or two of the underlying
Stocks, is a way to diversify your investment. Additionally, the Portfolio is
diversified by industry. Based upon the principal business of each issuer and
current market values, the following industries are represented in the
Portfolio:
APPROXIMATE
PORTFOLIO PERCENTAGE
/ / Computer Hardware %
/ / Computer Software
/ / Semiconductor Manufacture
/ / Electronic Manufacture
/ / Financial Services
/ / Hotels/Gaming
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Defining Your Risks
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
There can be no guarantee that the Portfolio will meet its objectives over its
one-year life or that Portfolios selected through re-application of the Model
during consecutive one-year periods will meet their objectives. Current dividend
income is not a criterion for the selection of stocks for the Portfolio. The
Portfolio may not reflect any investment recommendations of the Sponsors and one
or more of the stocks in the Portfolio may, from time to time, be subject to
sell recommendations from one or more of the Sponsors.
The Portfolio is not an appropriate investment for those who are not comfortable
with the Model or for those who are unable or unwilling to assume the risk
involved generally with an equity investment. It may not be appropriate for
investors seeking either preservation of capital or current income.
Unit price fluctuates with the value of the Portfolio, and the value of the
Portfolio could be affected by changes in the financial condition of the
issuers, changes in the various industries represented in the Portfolio,
movements in stock prices generally, the impact of the Sponsors' purchase and
sale of the securities (especially during the primary offering period of units
and during the rollover period) and other factors. Therefore, there is no
guarantee that the objective of the Portfolio will be achieved. In addition, the
Model and the Portfolio Consultant have only a limited track record. There can
be no guarantee that
A-2
<PAGE>
the Model will be effective in achieving the objective of the Fund.
Unlike a mutual fund, the Portfolio is not actively managed and the Sponsors
receive no management fee. Therefore, the adverse financial condition of an
issuer or any market movement in the price of a security will not require the
sale of securities from the Portfolio or mean that the Sponsors will not
continue to purchase the Security in order to create additional Units. Although
the Sponsors may instruct the Trustee to sell securities under certain limited
circumstances, given the investment philosophy of the Portfolio, the Sponsors
are not likely to do so. The Portfolio may continue to purchase or hold
securities originally selected even though the assessment of their earnings
growth potential may have changed or the Securities may no longer quality for
selection were the Model to be applied on any later date.
In addition, the Portfolio is considered to be 'concentrated' in stocks of
companies deriving a substantial portion of their income from the computer
industry. Investment in this industry may pose additional risks (see Risk
Factors--Petroleum Refining Companies in Part B).
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Defining Your Investment
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE PER 1,000 UNITS $1,000.00
The Public Offering Price as of June , 1995, the business day prior to the
initial date of deposit is based on the aggregate value of the underlying
securities ($ ) and any cash held to purchase securities, divided by
the number of units outstanding ( ) times 1,000, plus the initial sales
charge. The Public Offering Price on any subsequent date will vary. The
underlying securities are valued by the Trustee on the basis of their closing
sale prices at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on every business day.
SALES CHARGES
The total sales charge for this investment combines an initial up-front sales
charge and a deferred sales charge that will be deducted from the net asset
value of the Portfolio monthly beginning September 1, 1995 for the remaining ten
months of the Portfolio.
ROLLOVER OPTION
When this Select Growth Portfolio is about to be liquidated, you may have the
option to roll your proceeds into the next portfolio of the then current
Portfolio. If you notify your financial consultant by June , 1996, your units
will be redeemed and your proceeds will be reinvested in units of the next
Select Growth Portfolio. If you decide not to roll over your proceeds, you will
receive a cash distribution after the Fund terminates. Of course you can sell or
redeem your Units at any time prior to termination.
INCOME DISTRIBUTION
You will receive a distribution of any dividend income, net of expenses, on
, 199 , if you own units on , 199 .
REINVESTMENT OPTION
You can elect to automatically reinvest your distributions into additional units
of the Portfolio subject only to the deferred sales charge remaining at the time
of reinvestment. Reinvesting helps to compound your income for a greater total
return.
TAXES
In the opinion of counsel, you will be considered to have received all the
dividends paid on your interest in each security in the Portfolio when those
dividends are received by the Portfolio, even though a portion of the dividend
payments may be used to pay expenses of the Portfolio and regardless of whether
you reinvest your dividends in the Portfolio.
TAX BASIS REPORTING
The proceeds received when you sell this investment will reflect the deduction
of the deferred sales charge. In addition, the annual statement and the relevant
tax reporting forms you receive at year-end will reflect the actual amount paid
to you (not including the deferred sales charge). Accordingly, you should not
increase your basis in your units by the deferred sales charge.
TERMINATION DATE
The Portfolio will terminate by July , 1996. The final distribution will be
made within a reasonable time afterward. The Portfolio may be terminated earlier
if its value is less than 40% of the value of the securities when deposited.
SPONSORS' PROFIT OR LOSS
The Sponsors' profit or loss from the Portfolio will include the receipt of
applicable sales charges, fluctuations in the Public Offering Price or secondary
market price of units and a loss of $ on the initial deposit of the
securities.

Defining Your Costs
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
SALES CHARGE
First-time investors pay a 1% sales charge when they buy. For example, on a
$1,000 investment, $990 is invested in the Portfolio. In addition, a deferred
sales charge of $1.75 per 1,000 units will be deducted from the Portfolio's net
asset value each month over the last ten months of the Portfolio's life ($17.50
total). This deferred method of payment keeps more of your money invested over a
longer period of time. If you roll the proceeds of your investment into a new
portfolio, you will not be subject to the 1% initial charge, just the $17.50
deferred fee. Although this is a unit investment trust rather than a mutual
fund, the following information is presented to permit a comparison of fees and
an understanding of the direct or indirect costs and expenses that you pay.
As a %

TOTAL % $
This Portfolio (and therefore the investors) will bear all or a portion of its
organizational costs--including costs of preparing the registration statement,
the trust indenture and other closing documents, registering units with the SEC
and the states and the initial audit of the Portfolio--as is common for mutual
funds. Historically, the sponsors of unit investment trusts have paid all the
costs of establishing those trusts.
COSTS OVER TIME
You would pay the following cumulative expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming
the estimated operating expense ratio of 0. % and a 5% annual return on the
investment throughout the indicated periods and redemption at the end of the
period:
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$ $ $ $
Although each Series has a term of only one year and is a unit investment trust
rather than a mutual fund, this information is presented to permit a comparison
of fees, assuming the principal amount and distributions are rolled over each
year into a new Series subject only to the deferred sales charge and fund
expenses.
The example assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and uses a
5% annual rate of return as mandated by SEC regulations applicable to mutual
funds. For purposes of the example, the deferred sales charge imposed on
reinvestment of dividends is not reflected until the year following payment of
the dividend; the cumulative expenses would be higher if sales charges on
reinvested dividends were reflected in the year of reinvestment.
Reductions to the repurchase and cash redemption prices in the secondary market
to recoup the costs of liquidating securities to meet redemption (described
below) have not been reflected. The example should not be considered a
representation of past or future expenses or annual rates of return; the actual
expenses and annual rates of return may be more or less than the example.
SELLING YOUR INVESTMENT
You may sell or redeem your units at any time prior to the termination of the
Portfolio. Your price will be based on the then current net asset value. The
redemption and secondary market repurchase price as of June , 1995 was
$ per 1,000 units ($27.50 per 1,000 units less than the Public Offering
Price). This price reflects deductions of the deferred sales charge which
declines over the last ten months of the Portfolio ($17.50 initially). If you
sell your units before the termination of the Portfolio, you will pay the
remaining balance of the deferred sales charge. After the initial offering
period, the repurchase and cash redemption prices for units will be reduced to
reflect the estimated costs of liquidating securities to meet the redemption,
currently estimated at $ per 1,000 units. If you reinvest in the new Series,
you will pay your share of any brokerage commissions on the sale of underlying
securities when your units are liquidated during the rollover.

FUND DESCRIPTION
THE SELECT STRATEGY
The Select Series is designed to permit an investor to buy and hold a
portfolio of equity securities for a period of approximately one year based upon
a strategy. At the end of the year the portfolio is adjusted through
reapplication of the strategy and the investor may reinvest in the new
portfolio, if available.
This Fund seeks capital appreciation by acquiring these ten Securities and
holding them for about one year. Current dividend income is not an objective of
the Fund. There can be no assurance that the goal of the Fund will be attained.
Purchasing a portfolio of these ten Securities as opposed to one or two provides
the benefits of diversification. An investment in the Fund can be
cost-efficient, avoiding the odd-lot costs of buying small quantities of
securities directly. Investment in a number of companies with anticipated strong
earnings growth and reasonable valuation levels is designed to increase the
Fund's potential for capital appreciation. The Fund will terminate in about one
year, when investiors may choose to either receive the distribution in cash or
reinvest in the next Select Growth Portfolio (if available) at a reduced sales
charge. The Sponsors believe that more consistent results are likely if this
strategy is followed (by reinvestment at the end of each year in new series) for
at least three to five years.
PORTFOLIO SELECTION
The Portfolio contains 10 common stocks selected by the Sponsors through
the application of a quantitative model (the 'Model') developed by the Portfolio
Consultant, O'Shaughnessy Capital Management, Inc. The Portfolio Consultant is a
registered investment adviser, organized in 1988 and based in Greenwich,
Connecticut. The Portfolio Consultant is unaffiliated with any of the Sponsors.
The Portfolio Consultant applied the Model to the universe of 1,600 stocks
with capitalization averaging $3.2 billion and ranging from $19 million to 87
billion, and provided the Sponsors with a list of stocks, from which the
Sponsors chose the 10 stocks in the Portfolio. The Model was designed to
identify those stocks that have a strong potential for increasing earnings and
thus providing capital appreciation. The Model identifies stocks with the
following characteristics, among others: (i) expected growth rates of earnings
per share of at least 20% over the next fiscal year; (ii) expected annual growth
rates of at least 20% over the next three to five years; (iii) a price to
earnings ratio not exceeding the expected earnings growth rate over the next
three to five years; (iv) strong recent price performance; and (v) a minimum
market capitalization of $750 million.

The Stocks identified by the Model were next screened for minimum market
capitalization of $750 million. The Sponsors further reviewed the market
capitalization, liquidity and other characteristics of the identified stocks.
The Securities selected through this process were those believed to have
significant potential for future earnings growth, without regard to expected
dividend income.
The deposit of the Securities in the Fund on the initial date of deposit
established a proportionate relationship among the number of shares of each
Security. During the 90-day period following the initial date of deposit the
Sponsors may deposit additional Securities in order to create new Units,
maintaining to the extent possible that original proportionate relationship.
Deposits of additional Securities subsequent to the 90-day period must generally
replicate exactly the proportionate relationship among the number of shares of
each Security at the end of the initial 90-day period. The ability to acquire
each Security at the same time will generally depend upon the Security's
availability and any restrictions on the purchase of that Security under the
federal securities laws or otherwise.
Additional Units may also be created by the deposit of cash (including a
letter of credit) with instructions to purchase additional Securities. This
practice could cause both existing and new investors to experience a dilution of
their investments and a reduction in their anticipated income because of price
fluctuations in the Securities between the time of the cash deposit and the
actual purchase of the additional Securities and because the associated
brokerage fees will be an expense of the Portfolio. To minimize these effects,
the Portfolio will try to purchase Securities as close to the Evaluation Time or
at prices as close to the evaluated prices as possible.
Because each Defined Asset Fund is a preselected portfolio, you know the
securities before you invest. Of course, the Portfolio will change somewhat over
time, as Securities are purchased upon creation of additional Units, as
securities are sold to meet Unit redemptions or in other limited circumstances.
PORTFOLIO SUPERVISION
The Portfolio follows a buy and hold investment strategy in contrast to the
frequent portfolio changes of a managed fund based on economic, financial and
market analyses. In the event a public tender offer is made for a Security or a
merger or acquisition is announced affecting a Security, the Sponsors may
instruct the Trustee to tender or sell the Security in the open market when in
its opinion it is in the best interests of investors to do so. Otherwise,
although the Portfolio is regularly reviewed and evaluated, because of the
Strategy, the Portfolio is unlikely to sell any of the Securities, other than to
satisfy redemptions of units, or to cease buying additional shares in connection
with the issuance of Additional Units. More specifically, adverse developments
concerning a Security including the adverse financial condition of the issuer,
the institution of legal proceedings against the issuer, or a decline in the
price or the occurrence of other market or credit factors that might otherwise
make retention of the Security detrimental to the interest of investors, will
generally not cause the Fund to dispose of a Security or cease buying it.
Furthermore, the Portfolio will likely continue to hold a Security and purchase
additional shares even though the assessment of a Security may have changed or
subsequent to the initial date of deposit a Security may no longer satisfy the
Fund's selection criteria.

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Fund entails certain risks, including the risk that
the value of your investment will decline if the financial condition of the
issuers of the Securities becomes impaired or if the general condition of the
stock market worsens and the risk that holders of common stocks have generally
inferior rights to receive payments from the issuer in comparison with the
rights of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations or preferred stocks
issued by, the issuer. Moreover, common stocks do not represent an obligation of
the issuer and therefore do not offer any assurance of income or provide the
degree of protection of capital provided by debt securities. Common stocks in
general may be especially susceptible to general stock market movements and to
volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and
perceptions of the issuers change. These perceptions are based on unpredictable
factors including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and
fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or
contraction, and global or regional political, economic or banking crises. In
addition, the Model and the Portfolio Consultant have only a limited track
record. There can be no guarantee that the Model will be effective in achieving
the objective of the Fund. The Sponsors cannot predict the direction or scope of
any of these factors.
The Portfolio may be concentrated in one or more of types of issuers.
Concentration may involve additional risk because of the decreased
diversification of economic, financial and market risks. Set forth below is a
brief description of certain risks associated with Securities which may be held
by the Fund. Additional information is contained in the Information Supplement
which is available from the Trustee at no charge to the investor.
THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY
Computer industry companies, including those that manufacture computer
hardware, software and semiconductors, are highly competitive, both domestically
and internationally and tend to be relatively volatile as compared to other
types of investments. Certain of these companies may be smaller and less
seasoned companies with limited product lines, markets or financial resources
and limited management or marketing personnel. The computer industry is
characterized by a high degree of investment to maintain competitiveness and is
affected by worldwide scientific and technological developments (and resulting
product obsolescence) as well as government regulation, increase in material or
labor costs, changes in distribution channels and the need to manage inventory
levels in line with product demand.
LIQUIDITY
Whether or not the Securities are listed on a national securities exchange,
the principal trading market for the Securities may be in the over-the-counter
market. As a result, the existence of a liquid trading market for the Securities
may depend on whether dealers will make a market in the Securities. There can be
no assurance that a market will be made for any of the Securities, that any
market for the Securities will be maintained or of the liquidity of the
Securities in any markets made. In addition, the Fund may be restricted under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 from selling Securities to the Sponsors. The
price at which the Securities may be sold to meet redemptions and the value of
the Fund will be adversely affected if trading markets for the Securities are
limited or absent.
LITIGATION AND LEGISLATION
The Sponsors do not know of any pending litigation as of the initial date
of deposit that might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Fund, although pending litigation may have a material adverse effect on
the value of Securities in the Fund. In addition, at any time after the initial
date of deposit, litigation may be initiated on a variety of grounds, or
legislation may be enacted, affecting the Securities in the Portfolio or the
issuers of the Securities. Changing approaches to regulation, particularly with
respect to the environment or with respect to the petroleum industry, may have a
negative impact on certain companies represented in the Portfolio. There can be
no assurance that future litigation, legislation, regulation or deregulation
will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or will not impair the
ability of the issuers of the Securities to achieve their business goals. From
time to time Congress considers proposals to reduce the rate of the
dividends-received deduction. This type of legislation, if enacted into law,
would adversely affect the after-tax return to investors who can take advantage
of the deduction. See Taxes.
LIFE OF THE FUND; FUND TERMINATION
The size and composition of the Portfolio will be affected by the level of
redemptions of Units that may occur from time to time. Principally, this will
depend upon the number of investors seeking to sell or redeem their Units or
participating in a rollover. The Portfolio will be terminated no later than the
mandatory termination date specified in
3
<PAGE>
Part A of the Prospectus. It will terminate earlier upon the disposition of the
last Security or upon the consent of investors holding 51% of the Units. The
Portfolio may also be terminated earlier by the Sponsors once its total assets
have fallen below the minimum value specified in Part A of the Prospectus. A
decision by the Sponsors to terminate the Portfolio early, which will likely be
made following the rollover, will be based on factors such as the size of the
Portfolio relative to its original size, the ratio of Portfolio expenses to
income, and the cost of maintaining a current prospectus.
Notice of impending termination will be provided to investors and
thereafter units will no longer be redeemable. On or shortly before termination,
the Trustee will seek to dispose of any Securities remaining in the Portfolio
although any Security unable to be sold at a reasonable price may continue to be
held by the Trustee in a liquidating trust pending its final disposition. A
proportional share of the expenses associated with termination, including
brokerage costs in disposing of Securities, will be borne by investors remaining
at that time. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds those
investors are to receive in any final distribution.
HOW TO BUY UNITS
Units are available from any of the Sponsors, Underwriters and other
broker-dealers at the Public Offering Price. The Public Offering Price varies
each Business Day with changes in the value of the Portfolio and other assets
and liabilities of the Fund.
PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE
Units are charged a combination of Initial and Deferred Sales Charges
equal, in the aggregate, to a maximum charge of 2.75% of the public offering
price or, for quantity purchases of units of all Select Portfolios by an
investor and the investor's spouse and minor children, or by a single trust
estate or fiduciary account, made on a single day, the following percentages of
the public offering price:
APPLICABLE SALES CHARGE
(GROSS UNDERWRITING PROFIT)
------------------------------------
AS % OF PUBLIC AS % OF NET
AMOUNT PURCHASED OFFERING PRICE AMOUNT INVESTED
- -------------------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
Less than $50,000..................... 2.75% 2.778%
$50,000 to $99,999.................... 2.50 2.519
$100,000 to $249,999.................. 2.00 2.005
$250,000 or more...................... 1.75 1.750
The Deferred Sales Charge is a monthly charge of $1.75 per 1,000 units and
is accrued in ten monthly installments commencing on the date indicated in part
A of this Prospectus. Units redeemed or repurchased prior to the accrual of the
final Deferred Sales Charge installment will have the amount of any remaining
installments deducted from the redemption or repurchase proceeds or deducted in
calculating an in-kind distribution, although this deduction will be waived in
the event of the death or disability (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of
1986) of an investor. The Initial Sales Charge is equal to the aggregate sales
charge, determined as described above, less the aggregate amount of any
remaining installments of the Deferred Sales Charge.
It is anticipated that Securities will not be sold to pay the Deferred
Sales Charge until after the date of the last installment. Investors will be at
risk for market price fluctuations in the Securities from the several
installment accrual dates to the dates of actual sale of Securities to satisfy
this liability.
Employees of certain Sponsors and Sponsor affiliates and non-employee
directors of Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. may purchase Units subject only to the
Deferred Sales Charge.
EVALUATIONS
Evaluations are determined by the Trustee on each Business Day. This
excludes Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays as observed by the New
York Stock Exchange: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. If the Securities are
listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ national market system,
evaluations are generally based on closing sales prices on that exchange or that
system (unless the Trustee deems these prices inappropriate) or, if closing
sales prices are not available, at the mean between the closing bid and offer
prices. If the Securities are not listed or if listed but the principal market
is elsewhere, the evaluation is generally determined based on sales prices of
the Securities on the over-the-
4
<PAGE>
counter market or, if sales prices in that market are not available, on the
basis of the mean between current bid and offer prices for the Securities or for
comparable securities or by appraisal or by any combination of these methods.
Neither the Sponsors nor the Trustee guarantee the enforceability, marketability
or price of any Securities.
NO CERTIFICATES
All investors are required to hold their Units in uncertifcated form and in
'street name' by their broker, dealer or financial institution at the Depository
Trust Company ('DTC').
HOW TO SELL UNITS
SPONSORS' MARKET FOR UNITS
You can sell your Units at any time without a fee (other than the deduction
after the initial offering period for the costs of liquidating Securities). The
Sponsors (although not obligated to do so) will normally buy any Units offered
for sale at the repurchase price next computed after receipt of the order. The
Sponsors have maintained secondary markets in Defined Asset Funds for over 20
years. Primarily because of the sales charge and fluctuations in the market
value of the Securities, the sale price may be less than the cost of your Units.
You should consult your financial professional for current market prices to
determine if other broker-dealers or banks are offering higher prices for Units.
The Sponsors may discontinue this market without prior notice if the supply
of Units exceeds demand or for other business reasons. The Sponsors may reoffer
or redeem Units repurchased.
TRUSTEE'S REDEMPTION OF UNITS
You may redeem your Units by sending the Trustee a redemption request.
Signatures must be guaranteed by an eligible institution. In certain instances,
additional documents may be required such as a certificate of death, trust
instrument, certificate of corporate authority or appointment as executor,
administrator or guardian. If the Sponsors are maintaining a market for Units,
they will purchase any Units tendered at the repurchase price described above.
If they do not purchase Units tendered, the Trustee is authorized in its
discretion to sell Units in the over-the-counter market if it believes it will
obtain a higher net price for the redeeming investor.
By the seventh calendar day after tender you will be mailed an amount equal
to the Redemption Price per Unit. Because of market movements or changes in the
Portfolio, this price may be more or less than the cost of your Units. The
Redemption Price per Unit is computed each Business Day by adding the value of
the Securities, declared but unpaid dividends on the Securities, cash and the
value of any other Fund assets; deducting unpaid taxes or other governmental
charges, accrued but unpaid Fund expenses and accrued but unpaid Deferred Sales
Charges, unreimbursed Trustee advances, cash held to redeem Units or for
distribution to investors and the value of any other Fund liabilities; and
dividing the result by the number of outstanding Units.
Any investor owning Units representing Securities with a value of at least
$500,000 who redeems those Units prior to the rollover notification date
indicated in Part A of the Prospectus may, in lieu of cash redemption, request
distribution in kind of an amount and value of Securities per Unit equal to the
otherwise applicable Redemption Price per Unit. Whole shares of each Security
together with cash from the Capital Account equal to any fractional shares to
which the investor would be entitled (less any Deferred Sales Charge payable)
will be paid over to a distribution agent and either held for the account of the
investor or disposed of in accordance with instructions of the investor. Any
brokerage commissions on sales of Securities in connection with in-kind
redemptions will be borne by the redeeming investors. The in-kind redemption
option may be terminated by the Sponsors at any time upon prior notice to
investors.
After the initial offering period, the repurchase and cash redemption
prices will be reduced to reflect the cost to the Fund of liquidating Securities
to meet the redemption.
If cash is not available in the Fund's Income and Capital Accounts to pay
redemptions, the Trustee may sell Securities selected by the Agent for the
Sponsors in a manner designed to maintain, to the extent practicable, the
proportionate relationship among the number of shares of each Security. These
sales are often made at times when the Securities would not otherwise be sold
and may result in lower prices than might be realized otherwise and will also
reduce the size and diversity of the Fund.
5
<PAGE>
Redemptions may be suspended or payment postponed if the New York Stock
Exchange is closed other than for customary weekend and holiday closings, if the
SEC determines that trading on that Exchange is restricted or that an emergency
exists making disposal or evaluation of the Securities not reasonably
practicable, or for any other period permitted by the SEC.
ROLLOVER
In lieu of redeeming their Units or receiving liquidation proceeds upon the
termination of the Fund, investors may elect, by written notice to the Trustee
prior to the rollover notification date indicated in Part A, to apply their
proportional interest in the Securities and other assets of the Fund toward the
purchase of units of a new Select Growth Portfolio (if available). It is
expected that the terms of a new Series, including this rollover feature, will
be substantially the same as those of the Fund.
A rollover of an investor's units is accomplished by the in-kind redemption
of his Units of the Fund followed by the sale of the underlying Securities by a
distribution agent on behalf of participating investors and the reinvestment of
the sale proceeds (net of brokerage fees, governmental charges and other sale
expenses) in units of the new Select Growth Portfolio at their net asset value.
The Sponsors intend to sell the distributed Securities, on behalf of the
distribution agent, as quickly as practicable and then to create units of the
new Select Growth Portfolio as quickly as possible, subject in both cases to the
Sponsors' sensitivity that the concentrated sale and purchase of large volumes
of securities may affect market prices in a manner adverse to the interest of
investors. Accordingly, the Sponsors may, in their sole discretion, undertake a
more gradual sale of the distributed Securities and a more gradual creation of
units of the new Select Growth Portfolio to help mitigate any negative market
price consequences caused by this large volume of securities trades. There can
be no assurance, however, that this procedure will be successful or might not
result in less advantageous prices than had this procedure not been practiced at
all. Pending the investment of rollover proceeds in the securities to comprise
the new portfolio, those moneys may be uninvested for up to several days. For
those Securities in the Portfolio that will also be in the new portfolio, a
direct sale of those securities between the two funds is now permitted pursuant
to an SEC exemptive order. These sales will be effected at the securities'
closing sale prices on the exchanges where they are principally traded, free of
any brokerage costs.
Investors participating in the rollover may realize taxable capital gains
from the rollover but will not be entitled to a deduction for certain capital
losses and, because of the rollover procedures, will not receive a cash
distribution with which to pay those taxes. Investors who do not participate
will continue to hold their Units until the termination of the Fund; however,
depending upon the extent of participation in the rollover, the aggregate size
of the Fund may be sharply reduced resulting in a significant increase in per
Unit expenses.
The Sponsors may, in their sole discretion and without penalty or liability
to investors, decide not to sponsor a new Select Growth Portfolio or to modify
the terms of the rollover. Prior notice of any decision would be provided to
investors.
The Division of Investment Management of the SEC is of the view that the
rollover option constitutes an 'exchange offer', for the purposes of Section
11(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and would therefore be prohibited
absent an exemptive order. The Sponsors have received exemptive orders under
Section 11(c) which they believe permit them to offer the rollover, but no
assurance can be given that the SEC will concur with the Sponsors' position and
additional regulatory approvals may be required.
INCOME, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REINVESTMENT
INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Although current dividend income is not an objective of the Fund, the
annual income per Unit, after deducting estimated annual Fund expenses per Unit,
will depend primarily upon the amount of dividends declared and paid by the
issuers of the Securities and changes in the expenses of the Fund and, to a
lesser degree, upon the level of purchases of additional Securities and sales of
Securities. There is no assurance that dividends on the Securities will continue
at their current levels or be declared at all.
Each Unit receives an equal share of distributions of dividend income net
of estimated expenses. Because dividends on the Securities are not received at a
constant rate throughout the year, the income distribution may be more
6
<PAGE>
or less than the amount then credited to the Income Account. Dividends received
are credited to an Income Account and other receipts to a Capital Account. A
Reserve Account may be created by withdrawing from the Income and Capital
Accounts amounts considered appropriate by the Trustee to reserve for any
material amount that may be payable out of the Fund. Funds held by the Trustee
in the various accounts do not bear interest. In addition, distributions of
amounts necessary to pay the Deferred Sales Charge will be made from the Capital
Account to an account maintained by the Trustee for purposes of satisfying
investors' sales charge obligations. Although the Sponsors may collect the
Deferred Sales Charge monthly, to keep Units more fully invested the Sponsors
currently do not anticipate sales of Securities to pay the deferred sales charge
until after the rollover notification date. Proceeds of the disposition of any
Securities not used to pay Deferred Sales Charge or to redeem Units will be held
in the Capital Account and distributed on the final Distribution Day or
following liquidation of the Fund.
REINVESTMENT
Income and principal distributions on Units may be reinvested by
participating in the Fund's reinvestment plan. Under the plan, the Units
acquired for investors will be either Units already held in inventory by the
Sponsors or new Units created by the Sponsors' deposit of additional Securities,
contracts to purchase additional Securities or cash (or a bank letter of credit
in lieu of cash) with instructions to purchase additional Securities. Deposits
or purchases of additional Securities will generally be made so as to maintain
the then existing proportionate relationship among the number of shares of each
Security in the Fund. Units acquired by reinvestment will not be subject to the
initial sales charge but will be subject to any remaining installments of
Deferred Sales Charge. The Sponsors reserve the right to amend, modify or
terminate the reinvestment plan at any time without prior notice. Investors
holding Units in 'street name' should contact their broker, dealer or financial
institution if they wish to participate in the reinvestment plan.
FUND EXPENSES
Estimated annual Fund expenses are listed in Part A of the Prospectus; if
actual expenses exceed the estimate, the excess will be borne by the Fund. The
Trustee's annual fee is payable in monthly installments. The Trustee also
benefits when it holds cash for the Fund in non-interest bearing accounts.
Possible additional charges include Trustee fees and expenses for extraordinary
services, costs of indemnifying the Trustee and the Sponsors, costs of action
taken to protect the Fund and other legal fees and expenses, Fund termination
expenses and any governmental charges. The Trustee has a lien on Fund assets to
secure reimbursement of these amounts and may sell Securities for this purpose
if cash is not available. The Sponsors receive an annual fee of a maximum of
$0.35 per 1,000 Units to reimburse them for the cost of providing Portfolio
supervisory services to the Fund. While the fee may exceed their costs of
providing these services to the Fund, the total supervision fees from all Series
of Equity Income Fund will not exceed their costs for these services to all of
those Series during any calendar year. The Sponsors may also be reimbursed for
their costs of providing bookkeeping and administrative services to the Fund,
currently estimated at $0.10 per 1,000 Units. The Trustee's and Sponsors' fees
may be adjusted for inflation without investors' approval.
Expenses incurred in establishing the Fund, including the cost of the
initial preparation of documents relating to the Fund, Federal and State
registration fees, the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee, legal expenses
and any other out-of-pocket expenses will be paid by the Fund and amortized over
the life of the Fund. Advertising and selling expenses will be paid from the
Underwriting Account at no charge to the Fund. Defined Asset Funds can be a
cost-effective way to purchase and hold investments. Annual operating expenses
are generally lower than for managed funds. Because Defined Asset Funds have no
management fees, limited transaction costs and no ongoing marketing expenses,
operating expenses are generally less than 0.25% a year. When compounded
annually, small differences in expense ratios can make a big difference in your
investment results.
TAXES
The following discussion addresses only the tax consequences of Units held
as capital assets and does not address the tax consequences of Units held by
dealers, financial institutions or insurance companies.
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell, special counsel for the Sponsors,
under existing law:
The Fund is not an association taxable as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes. Each investor will be considered the owner of a pro
rata portion of each Security in the Fund under the grantor trust rules of
Sections 671-679 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
'Code'). Each investor will be considered to
7
<PAGE>
have received all of the dividends paid on his pro rata portion of each
Security when such dividends are received by the Fund, regardless of
whether such dividends are used to pay a portion of the expenses or whether
they are automatically reinvested (see Reinvestment Plan).
Dividends considered to have been received by an investor from domestic
corporations which constitute dividends for federal income tax purposes
will generally qualify for the dividends-received deduction, which is
currently 70%, for corporate investors. Depending upon the individual
corporate investor's circumstances, limitations on the availability of the
dividends-received deduction may be applicable. Investors are urged to
consult their own tax advisers.
An individual investor who itemizes deductions will be entitled to
deduct his pro rata share of fees and expenses paid by the Fund only to the
extent that this amount together with the investor's other miscellaneous
deductions exceeds 2% of his adjusted gross income.
The investor's basis in his Units will equal the cost of his Units,
including the initial sales charge. A portion of the sales charge is
deferred until the termination of the Fund or the redemption of the Units.
The proceeds received by an investor upon such event will reflect deduction
of the deferred amount (the 'Deferred Sales Charge'). The annual statement
and the relevant tax reporting forms received by investors will reflect the
actual amounts paid to them, net of the Deferred Sales Charge. Accordingly,
investors should not increase their basis in their Units by the Deferred
Sales Charge amount.
A distribution of Securities by the Trustee to an investor (or to his
agent) upon redemption of Units (or an exchange of Units for Securities by
the investor with the Sponsor) will not be a taxable event to the investor
or to other investors. The redeeming or exchanging investor's basis for
such Securities will be equal to his basis for the same Securities
(previously represented by his Units) prior to such redemption or exchange,
and his holding period for such Securities will include the period during
which he held his Units. An investor will have a taxable gain or loss,
which will be a capital gain or loss, when the investor (or his agent)
sells the Securities so received in redemption for cash, when a redeeming
or exchanging investor receives cash in lieu of fractional shares, when the
investor sells his Units for cash or when the Trustee sells the Securities
from the Fund. However, deductions may be disallowed for losses realized by
investors who invest their redemption proceeds in a new Select Growth
Portfolio ('rollover investor') within 30 days of redemption to the extent
that the securities in that series are substantially identical to the old
Securities.
The lower net capital gain tax rate will be unavailable to those
noncorporate investors who, as of the Mandatory Termination Date (or
earlier termination of the Fund), have held their units for less than a
year and a day. Similarly, with respect to noncorporate rollover investors,
this lower rate will be unavailable if, as of the beginning of the rollover
period, those investors have held their shares for less than a year and a
day.
Under the income tax laws of the State and City of New York, the Fund is
not an association taxable as a corporation and the income of the Fund will
be treated as the income of the investors in the same manner as for federal
income tax purposes.
The foregoing discussion relates only to the tax treatment of U.S.
investors with regard to federal and certain aspects of New York State and
City income taxes. Investors may be subject to taxation in New York or in
other jurisdictions and should consult their own tax advisors in this
regard. Investors that are not U.S. citizens or residents ('foreign
investors') should be aware that dividend distributions from the Fund will
generally be subject to a withholding tax of 30%, or a lower treaty rate,
such as 15%, depending on their country of residence. Foreign investors
should consult their tax advisors on their eligibility for the withholding
rate under applicable treaties.
* * * *
At the termination of the Fund, the Trustee will furnish to each investor
an annual statement containing information relating to the dividends received by
the Fund on the Securities, the gross proceeds received by the Fund from the
disposition of any Security (resulting from redemption or the sale by the Fund
of any Security), and the fees and expenses paid by the Fund. The Trustee will
also furnish annual information returns to each investor and to the Internal
Revenue Service.

RETIREMENT PLANS
This Series of Equity Income Fund may be well suited for purchase by
Individual Retirement Accounts ('IRAs'), Keogh plans, pension funds and other
qualified retirement plans, certain of which are briefly described below.
Generally, capital gains and income received in each of the foregoing plans are
exempt from Federal taxation. All distributions from such plans are generally
treated as ordinary income but may, in some cases, be eligible for special 5 or
10 year averaging or tax-deferred rollover treatment. Holders of Units in IRAs,
Keogh plans and other tax-deferred retirement plans should consult their plan
custodian as to the appropriate disposition of distributions. Investors
considering participation in any of these plans should review specific tax laws
related thereto and should consult their attorneys or tax advisors with respect
to the establishment and maintenance of any of these plans. These plans are
offered by brokerage firms, including the Sponsor of this Fund, and other
financial institutions. Fees and charges with respect to such plans may vary.
Retirement Plans for the Self-Employed--Keogh Plans. Units of the Fund may
be purchased by retirement plans established for self-employed individuals,
partnerships or unincorporated companies ('Keogh plans'). The assets of a Keogh
plan must be held in a qualified trust or other arrangement which meets the
requirements of the Code. Keogh plan participants may also establish separate
IRAs (see below) to which they may contribute up to an additional $2,000 per
year ($2,250 in a spousal account).
Individual Retirement Account--IRA, Any individual can make use of a
qualified IRA arrangement for the purchase of Units of the Fund. Any individual
(including one covered by an employer retirement plan) can make a contribution
in an IRA equal to the lesser of $2,000 ($2,250 in a spousal account) or 100% of
earned income; such investment must be made in cash. However, the deductible
amount an individual may contribute will be reduced if the individual's adjusted
gross income exceeds $25,000 (in the case of a single individual), $40,000 (in
the case of married individuals filing a joint return) or $200 (in the case of a
married individual filing a separate return). Certain transactions which are
prohibited under Section 408 of the Code will cause all or a portion of the
amount in an IRA to be deemed to the distributed and subject to tax at that
time. Unless nondeductible contributions were made in 1987 or a later year, all
distributions from an IRA will be treated as ordinary income but generally are
eligible for tax-deferred rollover treatment. Taxable distributions made before
attainment of age 59 1/2, except in the case of the participant's death or
disability or where the amount distributed is part of a series of substantially
equal periodic (at least annual) payments that are to be made over the life
expectancies of the participant and his or her beneficiary, are generally
subject to a surtax in an amount equal to 10% of the distribution.
Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. A pension or profit-sharing
plan for employees of a corporation may purchase Units of the Fund.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
The Trustee keeps a register of the names, addresses and holdings of all
investors. The Trustee also keeps records of the transactions of the Fund,
including a current list of the Securities and a copy of the Indenture, which
may be inspected by investors at reasonable times during business hours.
With each distribution, the Trustee includes a statement of the amounts of
income and any other receipts being distributed. Following the termination of
the Fund, the Trustee sends each investor of record a statement summarizing
transactions in the Fund's accounts including amounts distributed from them,
identifying Securities sold and purchased and listing Securities held and the
number of Units outstanding at termination and stating the Redemption Price per
1,000 Units at termination, and the fees and expenses paid by the Fund, among
other matters. Fund accounts may be audited by independent accountants selected
by the Sponsors and any report of the accountants will be available from the
Trustee on request.
TRUST INDENTURE
The Fund is a 'unit investment trust' created under New York law by a Trust
Indenture among the Sponsors and the Trustee. This Prospectus summarizes various
provisions of the Indenture, but each statement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Indenture.
The Indenture may be amended by the Sponsors and the Trustee without
consent by investors to cure ambiguities or to correct or supplement any
defective or inconsistent provision, to make any amendment required by the SEC
9
<PAGE>
or other governmental agency or to make any other change not materially adverse
to the interest of investors (as determined in good faith by the Sponsors). The
Indenture may also generally be amended upon consent of investors holding 51% of
the Units. No amendment may reduce the interest of any investor in the Fund
without the investor's consent or reduce the percentage of Units required to
consent to any amendment without unanimous consent of investors. Investors will
be notified of the substance of any amendment.
The Trustee may resign upon notice to the Sponsors. It may be removed by
investors holding 51% of the Units at any time or by the Sponsors without the
consent of investors if it becomes incapable of acting or bankrupt, its affairs
are taken over by public authorities, or if under certain conditions the
Sponsors determine in good faith that its replacement is in the best interest of
the investors. The resignation or removal becomes effective upon acceptance of
appointment by a successor; in this case, the Sponsors will use their best
efforts to appoint a successor promptly; however, if upon resignation no
successor has accepted appointment within 30 days after notification, the
resigning Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a
successor.
Any Sponsor may resign so long as one Sponsor with a net worth of
$2,000,000 remains. A new Sponsor may be appointed by the remaining Sponsors and
the Trustee to assume the duties of the resigning Sponsor. If there is only one
Sponsor and it fails to perform its duties or becomes incapable of acting or
bankrupt or its affairs are taken over by public authorities, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Sponsor at reasonable rates of compensation, terminate the
Indenture and liquidate the Fund or continue to act as Trustee without a
Sponsor. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated has been appointed
as Agent for the Sponsors by the other Sponsors.
The Sponsors and the Trustee are not liable to investors or any other party
for any act or omission in the conduct of their responsibilities absent bad
faith, willful misfeasance, negligence (gross negligence in the case of a
Sponsor) or reckless disregard of duty. The Indenture contains customary
provisions limiting the liability of the Trustee.
MISCELLANEOUS
LEGAL OPINION
The legality of the Units has been passed upon by Davis Polk & Wardwell,
450 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, as special counsel for the
Sponsors.
AUDITORS
The Statement of Condition in Part A of the Prospectus was audited by
Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent accountants, as stated in their opinion. It
is included in reliance upon that opinion given on the authority of that firm as
experts in accounting and auditing.
TRUSTEE
The Trustee and its address are stated on the back cover of the Prospectus.
The Trustee is subject to supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and either the
Comptroller of the Currency or state banking authorities.
SPONSORS
The Sponsors are listed on the back cover of the Prospectus. They may
include Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Co. Inc.; Smith Barney Inc., an indirect wholly-
owned subsidiary of The Travelers Inc.; Prudential Securities Incorporated, an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Prudential Insurance Company of America,
and Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc., a principal operating subsidiary of Dean Witter
Discover & Co. Each Sponsor, or one of its predecessor corporations, has acted
as Sponsor of a number of series of unit investment trusts. Each Sponsor has
acted as principal underwriter and managing underwriter of other investment
companies. The Sponsors, in addition to participating as members of various
selling groups or as agents of other investment companies, execute orders on
behalf of investment companies for the purchase and sale of securities of these
companies and sell securities to these companies in their capacities as brokers
or dealers in securities.
PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
During the initial offering period and thereafter to the extent additional
Units continue to be offered for sale to the public by means of this Prospectus,
Units will be distributed directly to the public by this Prospectus at the
Public
10
<PAGE>
Offering Price determined in the manner provided above or to selected dealers
who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. at a
concession not in excess of the maximum sales charge. The Sponsors intend to
qualify Units for sale in all states in which qualification is deemed necessary
through the Underwriting Account and by dealers who are members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.. The Sponsors do not intend to qualify
Units for sale in any foreign countries and this Prospectus does not constitute
an offer to sell Units in any country where Units cannot lawfully be sold.
UNDERWRITERS' AND SPONSORS' PROFITS
Upon sale of the Units, the Underwriters will be entitled to receive sales
charges; each Underwriters' interest in the Underwriting Account will depend on
the number of Units acquired through the issuance of additional Units. The
Sponsors also realize a profit or loss on deposit of the Securities equal to the
difference between the cost of the Securities to the Fund (based on the
aggregate value of the Securities on their date of deposit) and the purchase
price of the Securities to the Sponsors plus commissions payable by the
Sponsors. In addition, a Sponsor or Underwriter may realize profits or sustain
losses on Securities it deposits in the Fund which were acquired from
underwriting syndicates of which it was a member. During the initial offering
period, the Underwriting Account also may realize profits or sustain losses as a
result of fluctuations after the initial date of deposit in the Public Offering
Price of the Units. In maintaining a secondary market for Units, the Sponsors
will also realize profits or sustain losses in the amount of any difference
between the prices at which they buy Units and the prices at which they resell
these Units (which include the sales charge) or the prices at which they redeem
the Units. Cash, if any, made available by buyers of Units to the Sponsors prior
to a settlement date for the purchase of Units may be used in the Sponsors'
businesses to the extent permitted by Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and may be of benefit to the Sponsors.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Information on the performance of the Fund for various periods, on the
basis of changes in Unit price plus the amount of dividends and capital gains
reinvested, may be included from time to time in advertisements, sales
literature, reports and other information furnished to current or prospective
Holders. Total return figures are not averaged, and may not reflect deduction of
the sales charge, which would decrease the return. Average annualized return
figures reflect deduction of the maximum sales charge. No provision is made for
any income taxes payable.
Past performance of any series may not be indicative of results of future
series. Fund performance may be compared to the performance of the DJIA, the S&P
500 Composite Price Stock Index, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, or performance data
from publications such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., Morningstar
Publications, Inc., Money Magazine, The New York Times, U.S. News and World
Report, Barron's, Business Week, CDA Investment Technology, Inc., Forbes
Magazine or Fortune Magazine. Performance of the Stocks may be compared in sales
literature to performance of the S&P 500 Stock Price Composite Index, to which
may be added by year various national and international political and economic
events, and certain milestones in price and market indicators and in offerings
of Defined Asset Funds. This performance may also be compared for various
periods with an investment in short-term U.S. Treasury securities; however, the
investor should bear in mind that Treasury securities are fixed income
obligations, having the highest credit characterisitics, while the Stocks
involve greater risk because they have no maturities, and income thereon is
subject to the financial condition of, and declaration by, the issuers.
DEFINED ASSET FUNDS
For decades informed investors have purchased unit investment trusts for
dependability and professional selection of investments. Defined Asset Funds'
philosophy is to allow investors to 'buy with knowledge' (because, unlike
managed funds, the portfolio is relatively fixed) and 'hold with confidence'
(because the portfolio is professionally selected and regularly reviewed).
Defined Asset Funds offers an array of simple and convenient investment choices,
suited to fit a wide variety of personal financial goals--a buy and hold
strategy for capital accumulation, such as for children's education or
retirement, or attractive, regular current income consistent with the
preservation of principal. Unit investment trusts are particularly suited for
the many investors who prefer to seek long-term profits by purchasing sound
investments and holding them, rather than through active trading. Few
individuals have the knowledge, resources or capital to buy and hold a
diversified portfolio on their own; it would generally take a considerable sum
of money to obtain the breadth and diversity that Defined Asset Funds offer.
Your investment objectives may call for a combination of Defined Asset Funds.

One of the most important investment decisions you face may be how to
allocate your investments among asset classes. Diversification among different
kinds of investments can balance the risks and rewards of each one. Most
investment experts recommend stocks for long-term capital growth. Long-term
corporate bonds offer relatively high rates of interest income. By purchasing
both defined equity and defined bond funds, investors can receive attractive
current income, as well as growth potential, offering some protection against
inflation. From time to time various advertisements, sales literature, reports
and other information furnished to current or prospective investors may present
the average annual compounded rate of return of selected asset classes over
various periods of time, compared to the rate of inflation over the same
periods.
EXCHANGE OPTION
You may exchange Fund Units for units of other Select Ten Portfolios
subject only to the remaining deferred sales charge on the units received. You
may exchange your units of any Select Ten Portfolio, of any other Defined Asset
Fund with a regular maximum sales charge of at least 3.50%, or of any
unaffiliated unit trust with a regular maximum sales charge of at least 3.0%,
for Units of this Fund at their relative net asset values, subject only to a
reduced sales charge, or to any remaining Deferred Sales Charge, as applicable.
To make an exchange, you should contact your financial professional to find
out what suitable exchange funds are available and to obtain a prospectus. You
may acquire units of only those exchange funds in which the Sponsors are
maintaining a secondary market and which are lawfully for sale in the state
where you reside. Except for the reduced sales charge, an exchange is a taxable
event normally requiring recognition of any gain or loss on the units exchanged.
However, the Internal Revenue Service may seek to disallow a loss if the
portfolio of the units acquired is not materially different from the portfolio
of the units exchanged; you should consult your own tax advisor. If the proceeds
of units exchanged are insufficient to acquire a whole number of exchange fund
units, you may pay the difference in cash (not exceeding the price of a single
unit acquired).
As the Sponsors are not obligated to maintain a secondary market in any
series, there can be no assurance that units of a desired series will be
available for exchange. The Exchange Option may be amended or terminated at any
time without notice.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Upon written or telephonic request to the Trustee shown on the back cover
of this Prospectus, investors will receive without charge supplemental
information about the Fund, which has been filed with the SEC. The supplemental
information includes more detailed risk factor disclosure about the types of
securities that may be part of the Portfolio and general information about the
structure and operation of the Fund.
