                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

         The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
   information appearing in this Prospectus.

         THE FUND: Old Westbury Funds, Inc. is an open-end, diversified,
   management investment company currently consisting of five portfolios
   (each, a "Portfolio").


         THE PORTFOLIOS: Set forth below is the name of each Portfolio and
   its objective:



         OLD WESTBURY CORE EQUITIES FUND ("CORE EQUITIES FUND")--seeks long-term
         capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio
         of equity securities of large capitalization companies whose earnings
         are growing substantially faster than those of other companies;


         OLD WESTBURY GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FUND ("GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FUND")--seeks
         capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio
         of equity securities of small and medium sized companies that have the
         potential to become industry leaders. Such companies will be based in
         the United States and Canada;

         OLD WESTBURY INTERNATIONAL FUND ("INTERNATIONAL FUND")--seeks long-term
         growth of capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of marketable
         equity securities of issuers domiciled outside of the United States;

         OLD WESTBURY FIXED INCOME FUND ("FIXED INCOME FUND")--seeks total
         return (current income and capital appreciation) by investing in a
         diversified portfolio of securities consisting primarily of bonds and
         notes; and

         OLD WESTBURY MUNICIPAL BOND FUND ("MUNICIPAL BOND FUND")--seeks a high
         level of current income exempt from federal regular income tax by
         investing in a diversified portfolio of municipal securities that
         generate such income.

         There is no assurance that any Portfolio will achieve its investment
   objective. The investment objective of each Portfolio and its investment
   restrictions described in the Statement of Additional Information are
   fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval.

         MANAGEMENT AND FEES: Bessemer Trust Company, N.A. (the "Adviser")
         serves as the investment adviser and is compensated for its services
         and its related expenses at an annual rate equal to the following
         percentages of each Portfolio's average daily net assets: For Core
         Equities Fund, 0.70% of the first $100 million, 0.65% of the second
         $100 million, and 0.60% thereafter; for Growth Opportunity Fund and
         International Fund, 0.80% of the first $100 million; 0.75% of the
         second $100 million, and 0.70% thereafter; for Fixed Income Fund and
         Municipal Bond Fund, 0.45% of the first $100 million, 0.40% of the
         second $100 million, and 0.35% thereafter.

         Edgewood Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as distributor for
   each Portfolio's shares. Each Portfolio has a distribution and service plan
   (the "Plan") which permits it to pay (1) the Distributor a service fee of up
   to 0.25% per annum of the Portfolio's average daily net assets to permit it
   to compensate broker-dealers whose clients are Fund shareholders for
   providing shareholder services and (2) reimbursements of up to 0.15% per
   annum of the Portfolio's average daily net assets for distribution and
   marketing expenses. In addition, under the Plan, the Adviser will act as a
   shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio, pursuant to which each
   Portfolio is permitted to pay the Adviser a service fee of a maximum of 0.25%
   per annum of the Portfolio's average daily net assets to compensate it and to
   permit it to compensate banks and other financial institutions (the Adviser
   with such other institutions, each a "Shareholder Servicing Agent") whose
   clients are Fund shareholders for providing shareholder services. The service
   fees payable to the Distributor will only be paid by a Portfolio with respect
   to the value of shares of the Portfolio represented by the clients of
   broker-dealers that have agreements with the Distributor (each a
   "Broker-Dealer," or just "Dealer"), and the service fees payable to the
   Adviser will only be paid by a Portfolio with respect to the value of shares
   of the Portfolio represented by the clients of the Adviser and the other
   Shareholder Servicing Agents that have agreements with the Adviser.
   Therefore, the total service fees in the aggregate payable to the Distributor
   and the Adviser (collectively, the "Shareholder Servicing Fees") for
   shareholder servicing will not exceed 0.25% per annum of the average daily
   net assets of a Portfolio. However, the maximum amount payable under the Plan
   is 0.40% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. See
   "Distribution and Service Plan."

         HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES: Shares of each Portfolio may be purchased at
   the net asset value per share next determined after receipt of an order by
   the Portfolio's Distributor or transfer agent in proper form with
   accompanying check or other bank wire payment arrangements satisfactory to
   the Portfolio. Shares of each Portfolio may be purchased only through a
   Shareholder Servicing Agent, Dealer, or the Distributor. The minimum initial
   investment is $1,000. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Retirement Plans." Shares
   of the Portfolios may be purchased only in those states where they may
   lawfully be sold.

         HOW TO SELL SHARES: Shares of each Portfolio may be redeemed by the
   shareholder at any time at the net asset value per share next determined
   after the redemption request is received by the Portfolio's Distributor or
   transfer agent in proper order. See "Redemption of Shares."

         DIVIDENDS AND REINVESTMENT: Each dividend and capital gains
   distribution, if any, declared by a Portfolio on its outstanding shares will,
   unless a shareholder elects otherwise, be paid on the payment date in
   additional shares of the Portfolio having an aggregate net asset value as of
   the ex-dividend date of such dividend or distribution equal to the cash
   amount of such distribution. Shareholders may change this election by
   notifying their Shareholder Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer in writing at
   any time prior to the record date for a particular dividend or distribution.
   There are no sales or other charges in connection with the reinvestment of
   dividends and capital gains distributions. There is no fixed dividend rate,
   and there can be no assurance that a Portfolio will pay any dividends or
   realize any capital gains. However, each Portfolio currently intends to pay
   dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, on a quarterly basis.
   See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."

         RISK CONSIDERATIONS: Investors should be aware of the following general
   considerations relating to the types of investments of one or more of the
   Portfolios. The market value of fixed-income securities may vary inversely in
   response to changes in prevailing interest rates. Domestic equity securities
   are subject to the volatility and unpredictability of the U.S. stock market.
   The securities of smaller-capitalized companies present special risks in that
   such securities have historically been more volatile than stocks of larger
   companies. Foreign securities, including securities of issuers based in
   emerging markets, are subject to certain risks (i.e., greater price
   volatility and illiquidity than U.S. equity securities; greater political,
   legal and economic risks; currency exchange fluctuations; and different
   regulatory schemes with less publicly available information) in addition to
   those inherent in U.S. investments. High yield securities are typically
   subject to greater market fluctuations than investment grade bonds.
   Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are subject to higher prepayment
   risks than other types of debt instruments. The Portfolios may make other
   investments and employ certain investment techniques that involve other
   risks, including lending portfolio securities, entering into futures
   contracts and related options as hedges, and entering into repurchase
   agreements. For a description of these investments, strategies and other
   risks, please see "Portfolio Objective and Policies," "Portfolio Investments
   and Strategies," and "Additional Investment Risks."

    the first $100 million of the Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund's
    average net assets, 0.40% of the second $100 million of such assets and
    0.35% of such assets exceeding $200 million.



(2) Other expenses would have been 1.53% for the Growth Opportunity Fund absent
    the voluntary waiver of a portion of the administrative fee and
    reimbursement of certain other operating expenses by the adviser. Other
    expenses would have been 0.49% for the International Fund absent the
    voluntary waiver of a portion of the administrative fee by the
    administrator. The administrator can terminate these voluntary waivers at
    any time at its sole discretion. Other expenses are expected to be 1.06% and
    1.25% for the Fixed Income and Municipal Bond Funds, respectively, absent
    the anticipated reimbursement of certain other operating expenses by the
    adviser.



(3) The total estimated or actual operating expenses for the Core Equities,
    Growth Opportunity, International, Fixed Income and the Municipal Bond Funds
    would have been 1.74%, 2.58%, 1.52%, 1.76% and 1.95%, respectively, absent
    the actual or anticipated voluntary waiver of all or a portion of the
    advisory fee and the actual or anticipated waiver and/or reimbursement of
    certain other operating expenses. During the course of this period,
    projected expenses may be more or less than the average amount shown.



    On or about February 28, 1998, the Growth Opportunity and International Fund
    will no longer impose a maximum sales charge of 4.50%.




The purpose of this table is to assist an investor in understanding the various
costs and expenses that a shareholder of the Portfolio will bear, either
directly or indirectly. Wire-transferred redemptions of less than $5,000 may be
subject to additional fees. Under the Plan, each Portfolio may bear up to .10%
in "asset based sales charges" and, therefore, long-term shareholders may pay
more in total sales charges than the economic equivalent of the maximum
front-end sales charge permitted by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (see "Distribution and Service Plan"). The Adviser, the
Administrator and the Distributor may, at their discretion, waive all or a
portion of their fees. See the table above for any fee waivers. Investors
purchasing or redeeming shares through Shareholder Servicing Agents and Dealers
may be charged a fee in connection with such service and, therefore, the net
return to such investors may be less than the net return by investing in the
Portfolio directly. For a further discussion of these fees see "Management of
the Fund" and "Distribution and Service Plan" herein. The expense amounts
contained in the example below may increase if the fee waivers are discontinued.



EXAMPLE:
You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment assuming a 5% annual
return and redemption at the end of each time period.

                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

      The investment objective and policies of each Portfolio appear below. The
investment objective of each Portfolio is fundamental and may not be changed
without shareholder approval. While a Portfolio cannot assure that it will
achieve its investment objective, it attempts to do so by following the
investment policies described below.

      Unless indicated otherwise, the investment policies of a Portfolio may be
changed by the Board of Directors ("Directors") without shareholder approval.
However, shareholders will be notified before any material change in these
policies becomes effective. Additional information about investments, investment
limitations and strategies, and certain investment policies appears in the
"Portfolio Investments and Strategies" section of this Prospectus and in the
Statement of Additional Information.

OLD WESTBURY CORE EQUITIES FUND


      The investment objective of the Core Equities Fund is to seek
above-average long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio pursues this
objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities
of large capitalization companies whose earnings are growing substantially
faster than those of other companies. The Portfolio's investment philosophy is
based on the belief that the price of a company's stock correlates with the
direction and rate-of-change of the company's earnings. In line with this, the
Portfolio seeks to invest in companies which are increasing their net income by
15-20% or more annually. The portfolio manager looks for long-term economic
trends where there are prospects for substantial growth that will enable the
leading companies to achieve prospective earnings goals. Corporations which will
be able to meet the investment objective for a sustained period of time (5
years) represent the Portfolio's "core" holdings. These are supplemented by
"opportunistic" stocks which are companies that appear to have strong earnings
prospects for a more limited time period, most typically as a result of an
economic or new product cycle or a major corporate restructuring. Under normal
circumstances, the Portfolio generally will invest at least 65% of its total
assets in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations of at least
$2.5 billion.


PERMITTED INVESTMENTS

      Permitted investments include the following:

       common stocks of U.S companies that are listed on the New York or
       American Stock Exchange, or other domestic exchange, or traded in
       over-the-counter markets, preferred stocks of such companies, warrants,
       and preferred stock convertible into common stocks of such companies;


       convertible bonds of domestic issuers that are rated in the top four
       categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization
       ("NRSRO") such as BBB or better by Standard & Poor's ("S&P") and Fitch
       IBCA, Inc. ("Fitch"), or Baa or better by Moody's Investors Services,
       Inc. ("Moody's") or, if unrated, are of comparable quality as
       determined by the Portfolio's Adviser;


       U.S. government securities;

       debt obligations (including bonds, notes and debentures) denominated in
       U.S. dollars issued by U.S. corporations that are rated in the top four
       categories by an NRSRO or, if unrated, are of comparable quality as
       determined by the Portfolio's Adviser;

       options and futures;

       Money market instruments, including obligations of the U.S. government
       and its agencies and instrumentalities, other short-term debt securities,
       commercial paper, bank obligations and money market mutual funds
       (collectively, "Money Market Instruments"). For detailed information
       about these Money Market Instruments, see "Description of Each
       Portfolio's Investment Securities" in the Statement of Additional
       Information;

       repurchase agreements; and

       shares of other investment companies.

      For additional information on these permitted investments and a
description of the other investment techniques and strategies of the Core
Equities Fund, see the "Portfolio Investments and Strategies" section below.

OLD WESTBURY GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FUND

      The investment objective of the Growth Opportunity Fund is to seek capital
appreciation. The Portfolio seeks to achieve this objective by investing
primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of small and
medium-sized companies that have the potential to become industry leaders. These
United States and Canadian based companies will generally offer special
opportunities for growth and capital appreciation without regard to current
income and with earnings growth that over time would be well above the growth
rate of the overall economy and the rate of inflation. Additionally, these
companies will have a rate of growth that is expected to accelerate as a result
of a catalyst, such as new products, changes in customer preferences, new
management or changes or improvements in the economy. Under normal
circumstances, the Portfolio generally will invest at least 65% to 85% of its
total assets in companies with market capitalizations of under $3 billion.

      Although it is not the Portfolio's policy to invest or trade for
short-term gains, the Portfolio may, from time to time, sell a security
regardless of the length of time that it has been held in order to realize a
profit or to avoid anticipated or further loss.

PERMITTED INVESTMENTS

      Permitted investments include the following:

       common stocks of U.S. and Canadian companies that are listed on the New
       York or American Stock Exchange, or other domestic or Canadian exchange,
       or traded in the over-the-counter market, preferred stocks of such
       companies, warrants, and preferred stocks convertible into common stocks
       of such companies;

       convertible bonds of domestic and Canadian issuers that are rated in the
       top four categories by an NRSRO or, if unrated, are of comparable quality
       as determined by the Portfolio's Adviser;

       U.S. government securities;

       debt obligations (including bonds, notes and debentures) issued by U.S.
       and Canadian corporations and governments that are denominated in U.S.
       dollars issued by U.S. and Canadian corporations and governments that are
       rated in the top four categories by an NRSRO or, if unrated, are of
       comparable quality as determined by the Portfolio's Adviser;

       options and futures;

       Money Market Instruments;

       repurchase agreements; and

       shares of other investment companies.

      For additional information on these permitted investments and a
description of the other investment techniques and strategies of the Growth
Opportunity Fund, see the "Portfolio Investments and Strategies" section below.
For a description of certain risks associated with the ownership of foreign
securities, see "Old Westbury International Fund--Foreign Securities" below.

SMALL AND MID CAPITALIZATION STOCKS

      Small market capitalization companies ("Small-Cap Companies") are those
with market capitalizations of $1 billion or less at the time of the Portfolio's
investment. Many Small-Cap Companies will have had their securities publicly
traded, if at all, for only a short period of time and will not have had the
opportunity to establish a reliable trading pattern through economic cycles.
Investing in small and mid capitalization stocks may involve greater risk than
investing in large capitalization stocks and more established companies, since
they can be subject to greater volatility. The price volatility of Small-Cap
Companies is relatively higher than larger, more mature companies. The greater
price volatility of Small-Cap Companies may result from the fact that there may
be less market liquidity, less information publicly available or few investors
who monitor the activities of these companies. Further, in addition to
exhibiting greater volatility, the stocks of Small-Cap Companies may, to some
degree, fluctuate independently of the stocks of large companies. That is, the
stocks of Small-Cap Companies may decline in price as the price of large company
stocks rise or vice versa. In addition, the market prices of these securities
may exhibit more sensitivity to changes in industry or general economic
conditions. Some Small-Cap Companies will not have been in existence long enough
to experience economic cycles or to know whether they are sufficiently well
managed to survive downturns or inflationary periods. Further, a variety of
factors may affect the success of a company's business beyond the ability of its
management to prepare or compensate for them, including domestic and
international political developments, government trade and fiscal policies,
patterns of trade and war or other military conflict which may affect particular
industries or markets or the economy generally.

      Mid capitalization companies ("Mid-Cap Companies") are those with market
capitalizations between $1 billion and $3 billion. The risks associated with
investments in Mid-Cap Companies are similar to those associated with Small-Cap
Companies as discussed above.

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES

      The nature of investing in emerging growth companies involves a greater
level of risk than would be associated when investing in more established
seasoned companies. Emerging growth companies are beyond their initial start-up
periods but have not yet reached a state of established growth or maturity. The
rate of growth of such companies may at times be dramatic; such companies often
provide new products or services that enable them to capture a dominant or
important market position, or have a special area of expertise, or are able to
take advantage of changes in demographic factors in a more profitable way than
other companies. These companies may have limited product lines, markets or
financial resources and may lack management depth since they have not been
tested by time or the marketplace. The securities of emerging growth companies
often have limited marketability and may be subject to more volatile market
movements than securities of larger, more established growth companies or the
market averages in general. Shares of the Portfolio, therefore, may be subject
to greater fluctuation in value than funds investing entirely in proven growth
stocks.

CANADIAN COMPANIES

      The Portfolio may invest more than 10% of its total assets in Canadian
securities. Canadian securities are sensitive to conditions within Canada, but
also tend to follow the U.S. market. The country's economy relies strongly on
the production and processing of natural resources. Also, the government has
attempted to reduce restrictions against foreign investment, and its trade
agreements with the U.S. and Mexico are expected to increase trade. Also, demand
by many citizens in the Province of Quebec for secession from Canada may
significantly impact the Canadian economy. In addition, the value in U.S.
dollars of the Portfolio's assets denominated in Canadian currency may be
affected by changes in exchange rates and regulations. For further disclosure
and risk factors regarding investment in foreign securities generally, see
"Foreign Securities" in the Statement of Additional Information.

OLD WESTBURY INTERNATIONAL FUND

      The investment objective of the International Fund is to seek long-term
growth of capital. The Portfolio pursues this objective primarily through
investment in a diversified portfolio of marketable equity securities of issuers
domiciled outside of the United States. The Portfolio's assets will usually
consist of issues listed on recognized foreign securities exchanges. The
Portfolio is, however, free to hold securities that are not so listed, and may
invest up to 15% of its assets in such securities.

      The Portfolio diversifies investments by issuer and does not concentrate
in any one industry. In addition, the Portfolio allocates its investments among
geographic regions and individual countries and, normally, will have 65% of its
total assets invested in at least three different foreign countries. The
Portfolio may invest 25% or more of its assets in the securities of a single
country. See "Investment Restrictions." Particular securities are selected for
investment based upon criteria established by the Adviser, including: (i) the
relative economic prospects for various geographic regions and countries; (ii)
the relative economic prospects of particular industrial sectors within those
regions and countries; and (iii) the characteristics of particular issuers
within those industrial sectors.

      Investments are made primarily in those regions and countries where, in
the opinion of the Adviser, there are opportunities to achieve superior
investment returns relative to other investment opportunities available outside
the United States. The Portfolio does not, however, generally invest in debt or
equity securities of U.S. issuers. The Portfolio emphasizes those industrial
sectors of the world's market which, in the opinion of the Adviser, offer the
most attractive risk/reward relationship. Securities of any given issuer are
evaluated on the basis of such measures as price/earnings ratios, price/book
ratios, cash flows and dividends and interest income.

PERMITTED INVESTMENTS

      Permitted investments include the following:

       common stocks of issuers domiciled outside of the United States,
       preferred stocks of such companies, warrants, and preferred stocks
       convertible into common stocks of such companies;

       convertible bonds of issuers domiciled outside of the United States that
       are rated in the top four categories by Moody's or S&P or, if unrated,
       are of comparable quality as determined by the Portfolio's Adviser;

       debt obligations (including bonds, notes and debentures) issued by
       issuers domiciled outside of the United States and foreign governments
       that are rated in the top four categories by Moody's or S&P or, if
       unrated, are of comparable quality as determined by the Portfolio's
       Adviser (investments in obligations of foreign governments or their
       political subdivisions are limited to direct government obligations and
       government-guaranteed securities);

       options and futures;

       foreign and domestic prime commercial paper;

       Money Market Instruments;

       repurchase agreements; and

FOREIGN SECURITIES

      Investors should realize that investing in securities of foreign issuers
involves considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of
companies organized and operated in the United States. Investors should realize
that the value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may be
adversely affected by changes in political or social conditions, diplomatic
relations, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization, limitation on
the removal of funds or assets, or imposition of (or change in) exchange control
or tax regulations in those foreign countries. In addition, changes in
government administrations or economic or monetary policies in the United States
or abroad could result in appreciation or depreciation of portfolio securities
and could favorably or unfavorably affect the Portfolio's operations.
Furthermore, the economies of individual foreign nations may differ from the
U.S. economy, whether favorably or unfavorably, in areas such as growth of gross
national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource
self-sufficiency and balance of payments position; it may also be more difficult
to obtain and enforce a judgment against a foreign issuer. In general, less
information is publicly available with respect to foreign issuers than is
available with respect to U.S. companies. Most foreign companies are also not
subject to the uniform accounting and financial reporting requirements
applicable to issuers in the United States. Any foreign investments made by the
Portfolio must be made in compliance with U.S. and foreign currency restrictions
and tax laws restricting the amounts and types of foreign investments.

      The Portfolio may invest up to 50% of its net assets in securities of
issuers in emerging markets countries, including Eastern Europe. A company in an
emerging market is one that: (i) has its principal securities trading market in
an emerging market country; (ii) is organized under the laws of, and with a
principal office in, an emerging market; or (iii) (alone or on a consolidated
basis) the issuer and all of its subsidiaries derive 50% or more of its total
revenue from either goods produced, sales made or services performed in emerging
markets. 'Emerging markets' include any country which is generally considered to
be an emerging or developing country by the World Bank, the International
Finance Corporation, the United Nations or its authorities. These countries
generally include every country in the world except Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan,
Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United
Kingdom and United States. Investments in securities of issuers in emerging
markets countries may involve a high degree of risk and many may be considered
speculative. These investments carry all of the risks of investing in securities
of foreign issuers outlined in this section to a heightened degree. These
heightened risks include: (i) greater risks of expropriation, confiscatory
taxation, nationalization, and less social, political and economic stability;
(ii) the small current size of the markets for securities of emerging markets
issuers and the currently low or non-existent volume of trading, resulting in
lack of liquidity and in price volatility; (iii) certain national policies which
may restrict the Portfolio's investment opportunities including restrictions on
investing in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to relevant national
interests; and (iv) in the case of Eastern Europe, the absence of developed
legal structures governing private or foreign investment and private property
and the possibility that recent favorable economic and political developments
could be slowed or reversed by unanticipated events.

      So long as the Communist Party continues to exercise a significant or, in
some countries, dominant role in Eastern European countries, investments in such
countries will involve risk of nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory
taxation. The Communist governments of a number of Eastern European countries
expropriated large amounts of private property in the past, and in many cases
without adequate compensation, and there is no assurance that such expropriation
will not occur in the future. In the event of such expropriation, the Portfolio
could lose a substantial portion of any investments it has made in the affected
countries. Finally, even though certain eastern European currencies may be
convertible into U.S. dollars, the conversion rates may be artificial in
relation to the actual market values and may be adverse to Portfolio
shareholders.

      Foreign stock markets are generally not as developed or efficient as those
in the United States. In most foreign markets, volume and liquidity are less
than in the United States and, at times, volatility of price can be greater than
in the United States. Fixed commission on foreign stock exchanges are generally
higher than the negotiated commissions on United States exchanges. There is
generally less government supervision and regulation of foreign stock exchanges,
brokers and companies than in the United States. The settlement periods for
foreign securities, which are often longer than those for securities of U.S.
issuers, may affect portfolio liquidity.

      The dividends and interest payable on certain of the Portfolio's foreign
portfolio securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing
the net amount available for distribution to the Portfolio shareholders.
Investors should understand that the expense ratios of the Portfolio can be
expected to be higher than those of investment companies investing in domestic
securities due to the additional cost of custody of foreign securities. A more
detailed description of the costs of operation of the Fund is contained under
"Management of the Fund" and in the Statement of Additional Information.

      Portfolio securities which are listed on foreign exchanges may be traded
on days that the Portfolio does not value its securities, such as Saturdays and
the customary United States business holidays on which the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") is closed. As a result, the net asset value of the shares of
the Portfolio may be significantly affected on days when shareholders do not
have access to the Fund.

OPTIONS ON FOREIGN CONTRACTS; FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

      A change in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar
will result in a corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of the
Portfolio's assets denominated in that currency. Accordingly, the value of the
assets of the Portfolio as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected favorably or
unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control
regulations. In addition, the Portfolio may incur costs in connection with
conversions between various currencies. In order to protect against uncertainty
in the level of future foreign exchange rates, the Portfolio is authorized to
and may occasionally use forward foreign currency exchange contracts and
purchase and write (sell) options on foreign currencies. A forward foreign
currency exchange contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific
currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract and such
contracts are traded directly between currency traders (usually large commercial
banks with assets and deposits of over $1 billion) and their customers. A
foreign currency call option gives the purchaser the right to buy, and the
writer (seller) the obligation to sell, the underlying foreign currency at the
exercise price during the option period. A foreign currency put option gives the
purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the
underlying foreign currency at the exercise price during the option period.

      If the Portfolio is the covered call writer, during the option period it
gives up most of the potential for capital appreciation above the exercise price
should the foreign currency rise in value. If the Portfolio is the secured put
writer, during the option period it retains the risk of loss should the foreign
currency decline in value. For the covered call writer, substantial appreciation
in the value of the foreign currency would result in the foreign currency being
"called away." For the secured put writer, substantial depreciation in the value
of the foreign currency would result in the foreign currency being "put to" the
writer. If the Portfolio is the writer and a covered call option expires
unexercised, it realizes a gain in the amount of the premium. If the Portfolio
is the buyer and a covered call option expires unexercised, it realizes a loss
in the same amount. If the Portfolio as the covered call option writer has to
sell the foreign currency because of the exercise of a call option, it realizes
a gain or loss from the sale of the foreign currency, with the proceeds being
increased by the amount of the premium.

      If the Portfolio is the writer and a secured put option expires
unexercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain in the amount of the premium. If the
Portfolio is the buyer and a secured put option expires unexercised, the
Portfolio realizes a loss in the same amount. If the Portfolio as the secured
put writer has to buy the underlying foreign currency because of the exercise of
a put option, it incurs an unrealized loss to the extent that the current market
value of the foreign currency is less than the exercise price of the put option,
minus the premium received. Options purchased and sold other than on an exchange
in private transactions also impose on the Portfolio the credit risk that the
counterparty will fail to honor its obligations and with the assets of the
Portfolio used to cover its options positions are deemed illiquid securities.
The Portfolio will not purchase options if, as a result, the aggregate cost of
all outstanding options exceeds 5% of the Portfolio's total assets and the
Portfolio will not write (sell) options exceeding 25% of the Portfolio's total
assets.

      The Portfolio may use such forward contracts and options only under two
circumstances. First, when the Portfolio enters into a contract for the purchase
or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, it may desire to "lock
in" the U.S. dollar price of the security (a "transaction hedge"). Second, when
the Adviser believes that the currency of a particular foreign country may
suffer or enjoy a substantial movement against the U.S. dollar, it may enter
into a forward contract to sell or buy the amount of the foreign currency or
options approximating the value of some or all of the Portfolio's portfolio
securities denominated in such foreign currency or in currencies believed by the
Adviser to bear a substantial correlation to the value of such currency (a
"cross hedge"). (See "Foreign Currency Exchange Transactions and Options" in the
Statement of Additional Information.)

      The extent to which the Portfolio may enter into transactions involving
options and forward contracts may be limited by the Internal Revenue Code's
requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company and the
Portfolio's intention to qualify as such. See "Dividends, Distributions and
Taxes."

description of the other investment techniques and strategies of the
International Fund, see the "Portfolio Investments and Strategies" section
below.

OLD WESTBURY FIXED INCOME FUND

      The investment objective of the Fixed Income Fund is to seek total return
(consisting of current income and capital appreciation.) The Portfolio pursues
this objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment
grade bonds and notes. The maturity of the Portfolio will be adjusted based on
the outlook for the trend in interest rates. The Portfolio will invest, under
normal circumstances, at least 65% of the value of its total assets in fixed
income securities. Investment grade debt obligations at the time of purchase
must be rated in the top four categories by at least one NRSRO (such as BBB or
better by S&P or Fitch, or Baa or better by Moody's), or, if unrated, of
comparable quality as determined by the Adviser. See "Ratings" in the "Portfolio
Investments and Strategies" section. The Portfolio may invest up to 5% of its
assets in debt obligations rated below investment grade but not lower than B by
S&P, Fitch or Moody's, or of comparable quality, which are sometime referred to
as high-yield debt obligations. For a description of these types of securities
and the additional risks associated with them, see "Risk Factors--Lower Rated
Fixed Income Securities" in the Statement of Additional Information.


      The Adviser attempts to manage the Portfolio's total performance, which
includes both changes in principal value of the Portfolio's securities. and
income earned, by anticipating opportunities in the capital markets and risks of
changes in market interest rates. When the Adviser expects that market interest
rates may decline, which would cause prices of outstanding bonds to rise, it
generally extends the average maturity of the Portfolio's securities. When the
Adviser expects that market interest rates may rise, which would cause prices of
outstanding bonds to decline, it generally shortens the average maturity of the
Portfolio's securities. Further, the Adviser attempts to improve the Portfolio's
total return by weighing the relative value of alternative bond issues having
similar maturities in selecting portfolio securities. By actively managing the
Portfolio's securities in this manner, the Adviser seeks to provide capital
appreciation during periods of falling interest rates and protection against
capital depreciation during periods of rising rates.


PERMITTED INVESTMENTS

      Permitted investments include the following:

       debt obligations (including bonds, notes and debentures) of domestic and
       foreign issuers that, at the time of purchase, are rated in the top four
       categories by at least one NRSRO or, if unrated, are of comparable
       quality as determined by the Portfolio's Adviser (except that up to 5% of
       the Portfolio's assets may be rated as low as the sixth highest
       category);

       convertible securities of foreign and domestic issuers that, at the time
       of purchase, are rated in the top four categories by an NRSRO or, if
       unrated, are of comparable quality as determined by the Portfolio's
       Adviser (except that up to 5% of the Portfolio's assets may be rated as
       low as the sixth highest category);

       U.S. government securities;

       structured fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed securities,
       adjustable rate mortgage securities ("ARMS"), collateralized mortgage
       obligations ("CMOs"), and asset-backed securities;

       zero coupon obligations;

       options and futures;

       Money Market Instruments; and

       shares of other investment companies.

      For additional information on these permitted investments and a
description of the other investment techniques and strategies of the Fixed
Income Fund, see the "Portfolio Investments and Strategies" section below. In
addition, the following is a description of the structured fixed income
securities referred to above.


      Mortgage-Backed Securities. Some of the U.S. Government Securities in
which the Portfolio will invest can represent an undivided interest in a pool of
residential mortgages or may be collateralized by a pool of residential
mortgages ("Mortgage-backed securities"). Mortgage-backed securities have yield
and maturity characteristics corresponding to the underlying mortgages.
Distributions to holders of Mortgage-backed securities include both interest and
principal payments. Principal payments represent the amortization of the
principal of the underlying mortgages and any prepayments of principal due to
prepayment, refinancing, or foreclosure of the underlying mortgages. Although
maturities of the underlying mortgage loans may range up to 30 years,
amortization and prepayments substantially shorten the effective maturities of
Mortgage-backed securities. Due to these features, Mortgage-backed securities
are less effective as a means of "locking-in" attractive long-term interest
rates than fixed-income securities which pay only a stated amount of interest
until maturity, when the entire principal amount is returned. Prepayments, which
become more likely as mortgage interest rates decline, create a need to reinvest
distribution of principal at then-current lower rates. Since comparatively high
interest rates cannot be effectively "locked in," Mortgage-backed securities may
have less potential for capital appreciation during periods of declining
interest rates than other non-callable fixed-income government securities of
comparable stated maturities. However, Mortgage-backed securities may experience
less pronounced declines in value during periods of rising interest rates.
Mortgage-backed securities utilizing ARMs may fluctuate less in value and suffer
fewer prepayments than Mortgage-backed securities utilizing fixed rate
mortgages.



      ARMS. ARMS are Mortgage-backed securities representing interests in
adjustable rather than fixed interest rate mortgages. The Portfolio invests in
ARMS issued by the GNMA, the FNMA, the FHLMC, and by non-government and private
entities and are actively traded. The underlying mortgages which collateralize
ARMS issued by GNMA are fully guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration
("FHA") or Veterans Administration ("VA"), while those collateralizing ARMs
issued by FHLMC or FNMA are typically conventional residential mortgages
conforming to strict underwriting size and maturity constraints.



      CMOs. CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by mortgage loans or
Mortgage-backed securities. Typically, CMOs are collateralized by GNMA, FNMA or
FHLMC certificates, but may be collateralized by whole loans or private
mortgage-backed securities. The Portfolio will only invest in CMOs which are
rated AAA by a NRSRO and which may be: (a) collateralized by pools of mortgages
in which each mortgage is guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by
an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government; (b) collateralized by pools
of mortgages in which payment of principal and interest is guaranteed by the
issuer and such guarantee is collateralized by U.S. Government Securities; (c)
securities in which the proceeds of the issuance are invested in mortgage
securities and the payment of the principal and interest is supported by the
credit of an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government; or (d)
collateralized by pools of mortgages or Mortgage-backed securities not
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any government agency.


      Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are obligations of trusts
or special purpose corporations that directly or indirectly represent a
participation in, or are secured by and payable from various types of assets. At
the present time, automobile and credit card receivables are among the most
common collateral supporting asset-backed securities. In general, the collateral
supporting asset-backed securities is of shorter maturity than mortgage loans
and is less likely to experience substantial prepayments. As with
Mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool
of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties and use
similar credit enhancement techniques. Asset-backed securities present certain
risks that are not presented by Mortgage-backed securities. Credit card
receivables are generally unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the
protection of a number of state and federal consumer credit laws, many of which
give such debtors the right to set off certain amounts owed on the credit cards,
thereby reducing the balance due. Most issuers of asset-backed securities backed
by automobile receivables permit the services of such receivables to retain
possession of the underlying obligations. If the servicer were to sell these
obligations to another party, there is a risk that the purchaser would acquire
an interest superior to that of the holders of the related asset-backed
securities. In addition, because of the large number of vehicles involved in a
typical issuance and technical requirements under state laws, the trustee for
the holders of asset-backed securities backed by automobile receivables may not
have a recorded security interest in all of the obligations backing such
receivables. Therefore, there is a possibility that recoveries on repossessed
collateral may not, in some cases, be available to support payments on these
securities.

      In general, issues of asset-backed securities are structured to include
additional collateral and/or additional credit support to protect against the
risk that a portion of the collateral supporting the asset-backed securities may
default and/or may suffer from these defects. In evaluating the strength of
particular issues of asset-backed securities, the Adviser considers any rating
given to such securities, the financial strength of the provider of credit
support, the type and extent of credit enhancement provided, as well as the
documentation and structure of the issue itself and the credit support.

      Inverse Floaters. Certain securities issued by agencies of the U.S.
government ("agency securities") that include a class bearing a floating rate of
interest also may include a class whose yield floats inversely against a
specified index rate. These "inverse floaters" are more volatile than
conventional fixed or floating rate classes of an agency security and the yield
thereon, as well as the value thereof, will fluctuate in inverse proportion to
changes in the index on which interest rate adjustments are based. As a result,
the yield on an inverse floater class of an agency security will generally
increase when market yields (as reflected by the index) decrease and decrease
when market yields increase. The extent of the volatility of inverse floaters
depends on the extent of anticipated changes in market rates of interest.
Generally, inverse floaters provide for interest rate adjustments based upon a
multiple of the specified interest index, which further increases their
volatility. The degree of additional volatility will be directly proportional to
the size of the multiple used in determining interest rate adjustments.


      Resets of Interest. The interest rates paid on certain agency securities
in which the Portfolio invests generally are readjusted at intervals of one year
or less to an increment over some predetermined interest rate index. There are
two main categories of indices: those based on U.S. Treasury securities and
those derived from a calculated measure, such as a cost of funds index or a
moving average of mortgage rates. Commonly utilized indices include the one-year
and five-year constant maturity Treasury note rates, the three-month Treasury
bill rate, the 180-day Treasury bill rate, rates on longer-term Treasury
securities, the National Media Cost of Funds, the one-month or three-month
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the prime rate of a specific bank, or
commercial paper rates. Some indices, such as the one-year constant maturity
Treasury note rate, closely mirror changes in market interest rate levels.


      To the extent that the adjusted interest rate on the agency security
reflects current market rates, the market value of an adjustable rate agency
security will tend to be less sensitive to interest rate changes than a fixed
rate debt security on the same stated maturity. For additional information on
these permitted investments and a description of the other investment techniques
and strategies of the Fixed Income Fund, see the "Portfolio Investments and
Strategies" section below.

OLD WESTBURY MUNICIPAL BOND FUND


      The investment objective of Municipal Bond Fund is to provide dividend
income that is exempt from federal regular income tax. Interest income of the
Portfolio that is exempt from federal regular income tax retains its tax-free
status when distributed to the Portfolio's shareholders. The Portfolio pursues
its investment objective by investing in municipal securities. As a matter of
investment policy, which may not be changed without shareholder approval, under
normal circumstances, the Portfolio will be invested so that at least 80% of the
income from investments will be exempt from federal regular income tax.


PERMITTED INVESTMENTS


      The municipal securities in which the Portfolio invests are:


       debt obligations and municipal leases issued by or on behalf of any
       state, territory, or possession of the United States, including the
       District of Columbia, or any political subdivision of any of them;


       participation interests, as described below, in any of the above
       obligations, the interest from which is, in the opinion of bond counsel
       for the issuers or in the opinion of officers of the Portfolio and/or the
       Adviser, exempt from regular federal income tax;


       options and futures;

       Money Market Instruments; and

       shares of other investment companies.

CHARACTERISTICS


      The municipal securities in which the Portfolio invests are:


       rated in the top four categories by an NRSRO or, if unrated, are of
       comparable quality as determined by the Portfolio's Adviser;

       guaranteed at the time of purchase by the U.S. government, its agencies
       or instrumentalities, as to the payment of principal and interest;

       fully collateralized by an escrow of U.S. government or other securities
       acceptable to the Adviser;

       rated at the time of purchase within Moody's highest short-term municipal
       obligation rating (MIG1/VMIG1) or Moody's highest municipal commercial
       paper rating (P-1) or S&P's highest short-term municipal commercial paper
       rating (SP-1) or Fitch's highest tax-exempt municipal obligation rating
       (FIN-1);


       unrated if, at the time of purchase, longer term municipal securities of
       the issuer are rated in the top four categories by an NRSRO (however,
       investments in unrated securities will not exceed 20% of the Portfolio's
       total assets); or


       determined by the Adviser to be equivalent to municipal securities which
       are rated in the top four categories by an NRSRO.

      For additional information on these permitted investments and a
description of the other investment techniques and strategies of the Municipal
Bond Fund, see the "Portfolio Investments and Strategies" section below. In
addition, the following is a description of certain securities described above.


      Participation Interests. The Portfolio may purchase participation
interests from financial institutions such as commercial banks, savings
associations, and insurance companies. These participation interests give the
Portfolio an undivided interest in municipal securities. The financial
institutions from which the Portfolio purchases participation interests
frequently provide or secure irrevocable letters of credit or guarantees to
assure that the participation interests are of high quality. The Directors will
determine that participation interests meet the prescribed quality standards for
the Portfolio.



      Variable Rate Municipal Securities. The Portfolio may purchase municipal
securities that have variable interest rates. Variable interest rates are
ordinarily stated as a percentage of a published interest rate, interest rate
index, or some similar standard, such as the 91-day U.S. Treasury bill rate.



      Many variable rate municipal securities are subject to payment of
principal on demand by the Portfolio usually in not more than seven days. All
variable rate municipal securities will meet the quality standards for the
Portfolio.


      Municipal Leases. Municipal leases are obligations issued by state and
local governments or authorities to finance the acquisition of equipment and
facilities and may be considered to be illiquid. They may take the form of a
lease, an installment purchase contract, or a conditional sales contract.


      Lease obligations may be limited by municipal charter or the nature of the
appropriation for the lease. In particular, lease obligations may be subject to
periodic appropriation. If the entity does not appropriate funds for future
lease payments, the entity cannot be compelled to make such payments.
Furthermore, a lease may provide that the participants cannot accelerate lease
obligations upon default. The participants would only be able to enforce lease
payments as they became due. In the event of a default or failure of
appropriation, unless the participation interests are credit enhanced, it is
unlikely that the participants would be able to obtain an acceptable substitute
source of payment.



      Other Investment Techniques. The Portfolio may purchase a right to sell a
security held by it back to the issuer or to another party at an agreed upon
price at any time during a stated period or on a certain date. These rights may
be referred to as "liquidity puts" or "standby commitments."


      Municipal Securities. Municipal securities are generally issued to finance
public works such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass
transportation projects, schools, streets, and water and sewer works. They are
also issued to repay outstanding obligations, to raise funds for general
operating expenses, and to make loans to other public institutions and
facilities.

      Municipal securities include industrial development bonds issued by or on
behalf of public authorities to provide financing aid to acquire sites or
construct and equip facilities for privately or publicly owned corporations. The
availability of this financing encourages these corporations to locate within
the sponsoring communities and thereby increases local employment.

      The two principal classifications of municipal securities are "general
obligation" and "revenue" bonds. General obligation bonds are secured by the
issuer's pledge of its full faith and credit and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest. Interest on and principal of revenue bonds, however, are
payable only from the revenue generated by the facility financed by the bond or
other specified sources of revenue. Revenue bonds do not represent a pledge of
credit or create any debt of or charge against the general revenues of a
municipality or public authority. Industrial development bonds are typically
classified as revenue bonds.


      Municipal Bond Insurance. The Municipal Bond Fund may purchase municipal
securities covered by insurance which guarantees the timely payment of principal
at maturity and interest on such securities. These insured municipal securities
are either (1) covered by an insurance policy applicable to a particular
security, whether obtained by the issuer of the security or by a third party
("Issuer Obtained Insurance") or (2) insured under master insurance policies
issued by municipal bond insurers, which may be purchased by the Portfolio (the
"Policy" or "Policies").



     The Portfolio will require or obtain municipal bond insurance when
purchasing municipal securities which would not otherwise meet the Portfolio's
quality standards. The Portfolio may also require or obtain municipal bond
insurance when purchasing or holding specific municipal securities when, in the
opinion of the Portfolio's investment adviser, such insurance would benefit the
Portfolio (for example, through improvement of portfolio quality or increased
liquidity of certain securities). Issuer Obtained Insurance policies are
noncancellable and continue in force as long as the municipal securities are
outstanding and their respective insurers remain in business. If a municipal
security is covered by Issuer Obtained Insurance, then such security need not be
insured by the Policies purchased by the Portfolio. (Please refer to the
Statement of Additional Information for more information.)



      Investment Risks. Yields on municipal securities depend on a variety of
factors, including: the general conditions of the money market and the taxable
and municipal bond markets; the size of the particular offering; the maturity of
the obligations; and the rating of the issue. The ability of the Portfolio to
achieve its investment objective also depends on the continuing ability of the
issuers of municipal securities and participation interests, or the guarantors
of either, to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal
when due.


                      PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS AND STRATEGIES

      Borrowing. Each of the Portfolios is permitted as a fundamental investment
policy to borrow money for temporary purposes from banks or through reverse
repurchase agreements (arrangements in which a Portfolio sells a portfolio
instrument for a percentage of its cash value with an agreement to buy it back
on a set date) in amounts of up to one-third of its total assets, and pledge
some assets as collateral. This policy cannot be changed without the approval of
holders of a majority of the Portfolios' outstanding shares.


      Common and Preferred Stocks. Since certain of the Portfolios contain
common stocks of foreign and domestic issuers, an investment in shares of a
Portfolio should be made with an understanding of the risks inherent in any
investment in common stocks including the risk that the financial condition of
the issuers of the securities may become impaired or that the general condition
of the stock market may worsen (both of which may contribute directly to a
decrease in the value of the securities and thus in the value of the shares).
Additional risks include risks associated with the right to receive payments
from the issuer which is generally inferior to the rights of creditors of, or
holders of debt obligations or preferred stock issued by, the issuer. Holders of
common stocks have a right to receive dividends only when, if, and in the
amounts declared by the issuer's board of directors and to participate in
amounts available for distribution by the issuer only after all other claims on
the issuer have been paid or provided for. By contrast, holders of preferred
stocks usually have the right to receive dividends at a fixed rate when and as
declared by the issuer's board of directors, normally on a cumulative basis.
Dividends on cumulative preferred stock must be paid before any dividends are
paid on common stock and any cumulative preferred stock dividend which has been
omitted is added to future dividends payable to the holders of such cumulative
preferred stock. Preferred stocks are also usually entitled to rights on
liquidation which are senior to those of common stocks. For these reasons,
preferred stocks generally entail less risk than common stocks.


      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 debt securities. The issuance of debt securities or even preferred
stock by an issuer will create prior claims for payment of principal, interest
and dividends which could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the
issuer to declare or

pay dividends on its common stock or the economic interest of holders of common
stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy.
Further, unlike debt securities which typically have a stated principal amount
payable at maturity (which value will be subject to market fluctuations prior
thereto), common stocks have neither fixed principal amount nor a maturity and
have values which are subject to market fluctuations for as long as the common
stocks remain outstanding. Common stocks are 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. The value of the common stocks in the Portfolio thus may be expected to
fluctuate over the life of the Portfolio.


      Convertible Securities. The convertible securities in which certain of the
Portfolios may invest include any debt securities or preferred stock which may
be converted into common stock or which carry the right to purchase common
stock. Convertible securities entitle the holder to exchange the securities for
a specified number of shares of common stock, usually of the same company, at
specified prices within a certain period of time. Convertible securities
generally have paid dividends or interest at rates higher than common stocks but
lower than non-convertible securities. They usually participate to a lesser
degree in the appreciation or the depreciation of the underlying stock into
which they are convertible. The convertible securities in which a Portfolio may
invest must be rated, at the time of purchase, BBB or higher by S&P or Baa or
higher by Moody's, or, if unrated, be of comparable quality as determined by the
Portfolios' Adviser. (If a security's rating is reduced below the required
minimum after a Portfolio has purchased it, a Portfolio is not required to sell
the security, but may consider doing so.) Bonds rated BBB by S&P or Baa by
Moody's have speculative characteristics. Changes in economic conditions or
other circumstances are more likely to lead to weakened capacity to make
principal and interest payments than higher rated bonds.


      Warrants. Certain of the Portfolios may invest in warrants, which entitle
the holder to buy common stock from the issuer at a specific price (the strike
price) for a specific period of time (generally two or more years). The strike
price of warrants sometimes is much lower than the current market price of the
underlying securities, yet warrants are subject to similar price fluctuations.
As a result, warrants may be more volatile investments than the underlying
securities.

      Warrants do not entitle the holder to dividends or voting rights with
respect to the underlying securities and do not represent any rights in the
assets of the issuing company. Also, the value of the warrant does not
necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities and a warrant
ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to the expiration date.

      Debt Obligations. The Portfolios may invest in debt obligations, including
bonds, notes, and debentures of corporate issuers or governments, which may have
floating or fixed rates of interest.

      Fixed Rate Debt Obligations. The Portfolios may invest in fixed rate debt
obligations, including fixed rate debt securities with short-term
characteristics. Fixed rate securities with short-term characteristics are
long-term debt obligations but are treated in the market as having short
maturities because call features of the securities may make them callable within
a short period of time. A fixed rate security with short-term characteristics
would include a fixed income security priced close to call or redemption price
or fixed income security approaching maturity, where the expectation of call or
redemption is high.

      Fixed rate securities exhibit more price volatility during times of rising
or falling interest rates than securities with floating rates of interest. This
is because floating rate securities, as described below, behave like short-term
instruments in that the rate of interest they pay is subject to periodic
adjustments based on a designated interest rate index. Fixed rate securities pay
a fixed rate of interest and are more sensitive to fluctuating interest rates.
In periods of rising interest rates the value of a fixed rate security is likely
to fall. Fixed rate securities with short-term characteristics are not subject
to the same price volatility as fixed rate securities without such
characteristics. Therefore, they behave more like floating rate securities with
respect to price volatility.

      Floating Rate Debt Obligations. The Portfolios may invest in floating rate
debt obligations, including increasing rate securities. Floating rate securities
are generally offered at an initial interest rate which is at or above
prevailing market rates. The interest rate paid on these securities is then
reset periodically (commonly every 90 days to an increment over some
predetermined interest rate index). Commonly utilized indices include the
three-month Treasury bill rate, the 180-day Treasury bill rate, the one-month or
three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the prime rate of a bank, the
commercial paper rates, or the longer-term rates on U.S. Treasury securities.
Increasing rate securities' rates are reset periodically at different levels on
a predetermined scale. These levels of interest are ordinarily set at
progressively higher increments over time. Some increasing rate securities may,
by agreement, revert to a fixed rate status. These securities may also contain
features which allow the issuer the option to convert the increasing rate of
interest to a fixed rate under such terms, conditions, and limitations as are
described in each issuer's prospectus.

      Depositary Receipts. The International Fund may invest in foreign issuers
by purchasing Depositary Receipts (sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs and
EDRs). ADRs are depositary receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust
company which evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign
corporation. EDRs and GDRs are typically issued by foreign banks or trust
companies, although they also may be issued by U.S. banks or trust companies,
and evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by either a foreign or a
United States corporation. Generally, Depositary Receipts in registered form are
designed for use in the U.S. securities market and Depositary Receipts in bearer
form are designed for use in securities markets outside the United States.
Depositary Receipts may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as
the underlying securities into which they may be converted. Ownership of
unsponsored Depositary Receipts may not entitle a Portfolio to financial or
other reports from the issuer of the underlying security, to which it would be
entitled as the owner of sponsored Depositary Receipts. Depositary Receipts also
involve the risks of other investments in foreign securities.

      Derivatives. Certain of the Portfolios may invest in various instruments
that are commonly known as derivatives. Generally, a derivative is a financial
arrangement, the value of which is based on, or "derived" from, a traditional
security, asset, or market index. There are in fact many different types of
derivatives and many different ways to use them. Such derivative transactions
may be used to adjust the risk and return characteristics of a Portfolio or to
adjust the overall exposure to certain markets. However, these techniques or
investments may result in a loss, regardless of whether the intent was to reduce
risk or increase return, with unexpected changes in market conditions or if the
counterparty to the transaction does not perform as promised. Additionally,
these techniques or investments may increase volatility of a Portfolio and may
involve a small investment of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk
assumed. Futures and options are commonly used for traditional hedging purposes
to attempt to protect a fund from exposure to changing interest rates,
securities prices, or for cash management purposes as a low cost method of
gaining exposure to a particular securities market without investing directly in
those securities. The Portfolios may use derivatives for hedging purposes, cash
management purposes and as a substitute for investing directly in equity
instruments or other securities. A description of the derivatives that the
Portfolios may use and some of their associated risks follows.

      Illiquid Investments; Privately Placed and other Unregistered Securities.
The Portfolios may not acquire any illiquid securities if, as a result thereof,
more than 15% of the market value of the Portfolios' net assets would be in
illiquid investments. Subject to this non-fundamental policy limitation, the
Portfolios may acquire investments that are illiquid or have limited liquidity,
such as private placements or investments that are not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") and cannot be offered for public sale in
the United States without first being registered under the 1933 Act. An illiquid
investment is any investment that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the
normal course of business at approximately the amount at which it is valued by
the Portfolios. The price the Portfolios pay for illiquid securities or receives
upon resale may be lower than the price paid or received for similar securities
with a more liquid market. Accordingly the valuation of these securities will
reflect any limitations on their liquidity.

      The Portfolios may also purchase Rule 144A securities sold to
institutional investors without registration under the 1933 Act. These
securities may be determined to be liquid in accordance with guidelines
established by the Adviser and approved by the Directors. The Directors will
monitor the Adviser's implementation of these guidelines on a periodic basis.

      The Portfolios may invest in securities listed on a securities exchange or
traded in an over-the-counter market, and may invest in certain restricted or
unlisted securities.

      Investment Company Securities. The Portfolios may invest their assets in
securities of other investment companies as an efficient means of carrying out
their investment policies. It should be noted that investment companies incur
certain expenses, such as management fees, and, therefore, any investment by the
Portfolios in shares of other investment companies may be subject to such
duplicate expenses.

      Lending Portfolio Securities. In order to generate additional income, each
of the Portfolios is permitted as a fundamental investment policy to lend
portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, or both, up to
one-third of the value of their respective total assets to broker/dealers,
banks, or other institutional borrowers of securities. The Portfolios will only
enter into loan arrangements with broker/dealers, banks, or other institutions
which the Adviser has determined are creditworthy under guidelines established
by the Directors and will receive collateral in the form of cash or U.S.
government securities equal to at least 100% of the value of the securities
loaned. Collateral received in the form of cash may be invested in highly liquid
investments, including repurchase agreements and other money market instruments.
There is the risk that when lending portfolio securities, the securities may not
be available to the Portfolios on a timely basis and the Portfolios may,
therefore, lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. In
addition, in the event that a borrower of securities would file for bankruptcy
or become insolvent, disposition of the securities may be delayed pending court
action.

      Options and Futures Transactions. The Growth Opportunity Fund, Core
Equities Fund and Fixed Income Fund may use financial futures contracts, options
on futures contracts, call and put options on securities and financial indices
(collectively, "futures and options"). Futures contracts provide for the sale by
one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific
security at a specified future time and price. An option is a legal contract
that gives the holder the right to buy or sell a specified amount of the
underlying security or futures contract at a fixed or determinable price upon
the exercise of the option. A call option conveys the right to buy and a put
option conveys the right to sell a specified quantity of the underlying
instrument.

      The use of options and futures is a highly specialized activity which
involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with
ordinary portfolio securities transactions, and there can be no guarantee that
their use will increase a Portfolio's return. While the use of these instruments
by the Portfolios may reduce certain risks associated with owning its portfolio
securities, these techniques themselves entail certain other risks. If the
Adviser applies a strategy at an inappropriate time or judges market conditions
or trends incorrectly, options and futures strategies may lower the Portfolios'
return. Certain strategies limit the Portfolios' potential to realize gains as
well as limit its exposure to losses. The Portfolios could also experience
losses if the prices of its options and futures positions were poorly correlated
with its other investments. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will
exist at a time when a Portfolio seeks to close out a futures contract or a
futures option position. Most futures exchanges and boards of trade limit the
amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single day;
once the daily limit has been reached on a particular contract, no trades may be
made that day at a price beyond that limit. In addition, certain of these
instruments are relatively new and without a significant trading history. As a
result, there is no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or
continue to exist. Lack of a liquid market for any reason may prevent the
Portfolios from liquidating an unfavorable position and the Portfolios would
remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. In
addition, the Portfolios will incur transaction costs, including trading
commissions and options premiums, in connection with its futures and options
transactions, and these transactions could significantly increase the
Portfolios' turnover rate.

      The Portfolios will not enter into futures contracts or options thereon to
the extent that its outstanding obligations to purchase securities under these
contracts in combination with its outstanding obligations with respect to
options transactions would exceed 35% of its total assets. The Portfolios will
use financial futures contracts and related options only for "bona fide hedging"
purposes, as such term is defined in applicable regulations of the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission, or, with respect to positions in financial futures
and related options that do not qualify as "bona fide hedging" positions, will
enter such non-hedging positions only to the extent that assets committed to
initial margin deposits on such instruments, plus premiums paid for open futures
options positions, less the amount by which any such positions are
"in-the-money", do not exceed 5% of the Portfolios' net assets. The Portfolios
will segregate assets or "cover" their positions consistent with requirements
under the 1940 Act.

      Portfolio Turnover. Purchases and sales are made for the Portfolios
whenever necessary, in the Adviser's opinion, to meet the Portfolios'
objectives. The estimated portfolio turnover rate for the Core Equities Fund,
Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund should not exceed 50%, 70% and 25%,
respectively. Portfolio turnover may involve the payment by the Portfolios' of
dealer spreads or underwriting commissions, and other transaction costs, on the
sale of securities, as well as on the investment of the proceeds in other
securities. The greater the portfolio turnover the greater the transaction costs
to the Portfolios which could have an effect on the Portfolios' total rate of
return.

      Ratings. Securities rated in the fourth highest investment grade category
(Baa by Moody's, or BBB by S&P and Fitch) have speculative characteristics and
changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than higher rated
securities. The Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information contains a
complete description of ratings.

      The Portfolios' Adviser will evaluate downgraded securities on a
case-by-case basis. The Adviser will determine whether or not the security
continues to be a permitted investment. If not, the security will be sold.

      Repurchase Agreements. The securities in which the Portfolios invest may
be purchased pursuant to repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are
arrangements in which banks, broker/dealers, and other recognized financial
institutions sell U.S. government securities or other securities to a Portfolio
and agree at the time of sale to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon time
and price. To the extent that the original seller does not repurchase the
securities from a Portfolio, the Portfolio could receive less than the
repurchase price on any sale of such securities.

      Short Sales. The Core Equities Fund may make short sales. A short sale
occurs when a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in its
price. If the decline occurs, shares equal in number to those sold short can be
purchased at the lower price. If the price increases, the higher price must be
paid. The purchased shares are then returned to the original lender. Risk arises
because no loss limit can be placed on the transaction. When the Portfolio
enters into a short sale, assets equal to the market price of the securities
sold short or any lesser price at which the Portfolio can obtain such
securities, are segregated on the Portfolio's records and maintained until the
Portfolio meets its obligations under the short sale.


      Temporary Investments. Each portfolio may maintain up to 100% of its
assets in Money Market Instruments for temporary, defensive purposes. This
reserve position provides flexibility in meeting redemptions, expenses, and the
timing of new investments, and serves as a short-term defense during periods of
unusual market volatility. The Money Market Instruments for the Core Equities,
Growth Opportunity and Fixed Income Funds include obligations of the U.S.
government and its agencies and instrumentalities, other short-term debt
securities which are rated in the two top categories by Moody's or S&P or, if
unrated, are of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser, commercial
paper, bank obligations and money market mutual funds. The Money Market
Instruments for International Fund include domestic and foreign government
obligations, bank obligations, commercial paper and short-term securities which
are rated in the top two categories by Moody's or S&P or, if unrated, are of
comparable quality as determined by the Adviser. The Money Market Instruments
for Municipal Bond Fund include taxable or tax-exempt obligations of the U.S.
government and its agencies and instrumentalities, short-term debt securities of
municipal or corporate issuers, domestic and foreign government obligations,
bank obligations, commercial paper and short-term securities which are rated in
the two top categories by Moody's or S&P or, if unrated of comparable quality as
determined by the Adviser. Although Municipal Bond Fund is permitted to make
temporary, taxable investments, there is no current intention of generating
income subject to federal regular income tax.



      U.S. Government Securities. The Portfolios may invest in U.S. government
securities which include:

       direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, such as U.S. Treasury bills,
       notes, and bonds;

       notes, bonds, and discount notes issued or guaranteed by U.S. government
       agencies and instrumentalities supported by the full faith and credit of
       the United States;

       notes, bonds, and discount notes of U.S. government agencies or
       instrumentalities which receive or have access to federal funding; and

       notes, bonds, and discount notes of other U.S. government
       instrumentalities supported by the credit of the instrumentalities.

      Some obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of
the U.S. government are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury. No assurances can be given that the U.S. government will provide
financial support to other agencies or instrumentalities, since it is not
obligated to do so. These instrumentalities are supported by:

       the issuer's right to borrow an amount limited to a specific line of
       credit from the U.S. Treasury;

       the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase certain
       obligations of an agency or instrumentality; or

       the credit of the agency or instrumentality.

      When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities. The Portfolios may purchase
securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Delivery of and payment
for these securities may take as long as a month or more after the date of the
purchase commitment. The value of these securities is subject to market
fluctuation during this period and for fixed income investments no interest
accrues to the Portfolios until settlement. At the time of settlement, a
when-issued security may be valued at less than its purchase price. The
Portfolios maintain with the custodian a separate account with a segregated
portfolio of securities in an amount at least equal to these commitments. When
entering into a when-issued or delayed delivery transaction, the Portfolios will
rely on the other party to consummate the transaction; if the other party fails
to do so, the Portfolios may be disadvantaged. It is the current policy of the
Portfolios not to enter into when-issued commitments exceeding in the aggregate
15% of the market value of the Portfolios' total assets less liabilities other
than the obligations created by these commitments.

      Zero Coupon Securities. The Fixed Income Fund may invest in zero coupon
bonds. The Portfolio may invest in zero coupon bonds in order to receive the
rate of return through the appreciation of the bond. This application is
extremely attractive in a falling rate environment as the price of the bond
rises rapidly in value as opposed to regular coupon bonds. A zero coupon bond
makes no periodic interest payments and the entire obligation becomes due only
upon maturity.

      Zero coupon securities are debt securities which are issued at a discount
to their face amount and do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of
interest prior to maturity. Rather, interest earned on zero coupon securities
accretes at a stated yield until the security reaches its face amount at
maturity. In addition, zero coupon securities usually have put features that
provide the holder with the opportunity to sell the bonds back to the issuer at
a stated price before maturity.

      Generally, the price of zero coupon securities are more sensitive to
fluctuations in interest than are conventional bonds and convertible securities.
In addition, federal tax law requires the holder of a zero coupon security to
recognize income from the security prior to the receipt of cash payments. To
maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company and to avoid
liability of federal income taxes, the Portfolio will be required to distribute
income accrued from zero coupon securities which it owns, and may have to sell
portfolio securities (perhaps at disadvantageous times) in order to generate
cash to satisfy these distribution requirements.

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RISKS

      Debt Market. In the debt market, prices move inversely to interest rates.
A decline in market interest rates results in a rise in the market prices of
outstanding debt obligations. Conversely, an increase in market interest rates
results in a decline in market prices of outstanding debt obligations. In either
case, the amount of change in market prices of debt obligations in response to
changes in market interest rates generally depends on the maturity of the debt
obligations: the debt obligations with the longest maturities will experience
the greatest market price changes.

      The market value of debt obligations, and therefore each Portfolio's net
asset value, will fluctuate due to changes in economic conditions and other
market factors such as interest rates which are beyond the control of the
Portfolios' Adviser. The Portfolios' Adviser could be incorrect in its
expectations about the direction or extent of these market factors. Although
debt obligations with longer maturities offer potentially greater returns, they
have greater exposure to market price fluctuation. Consequently, to the extent a
Portfolio is significantly invested in debt obligations with longer maturities,
there is a greater possibility of fluctuation in a Portfolio's net asset value.

      High Yield Debt Obligations. Debt obligations that are not determined to
be investment grade are high-yield, high-risk bonds, typically subject to
greater market fluctuations and greater risk of loss of income and principal due
to an issuer's default. To a greater extent than investment-grade bonds,
lower-rated bonds tend to reflect short-term corporate, economic and market
developments, as well as investor perceptions of the issuer's credit quality. In
addition, lower-rated bonds may be more difficult to dispose of or to value than
higher-rated, lower-yielding bonds.

      Stock Market. As with other mutual funds that invest primarily in equity
securities, the Growth Opportunity Fund, International Fund and Core Equities
Fund are subject to market risks. That is, the possibility exists that common
stocks will decline over short or even extended periods of time, and the United
States equity market tends to be cyclical, experiencing both periods when stock
prices generally increase and periods when stock prices generally decrease.
Stocks in the small and medium capitalization sector of the United States equity
market tend to be slightly more volatile in price than larger capitalization
stocks, such as those included in the S&P 500. This is because, among other
things, small- and medium-sized companies have less certain growth prospects
than larger companies, have a lower degree of liquidity in the equity market,
and tend to have a greater sensitivity to changing economic conditions. Further,
in addition to exhibiting slightly higher volatility, the stocks of small- and
medium-sized companies may, to some degree, fluctuate independently of the
stocks of large companies. That is, the stocks of small- and medium-sized
companies may decline in price as the price of large company stocks rises or
vice versa.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS


      As a diversified investment company, 75% of the total assets of each of
the Portfolios is subject to the following limitations: (a) the Portfolios may
not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer
and (b) the Portfolios may not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of any one issuer. The classification of the Fund as a diversified
investment company is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may be changed only,
with respect to the Portfolios, with the approval of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of the Portfolios. As used in this Prospectus, the
term "majority of the outstanding shares of the Portfolios" means, respectively,
the vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares of the Portfolio present
at a meeting, if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio are
present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of each of the Portfolios.



      Each of the Portfolios also operates under certain investment restrictions
which are deemed fundamental policies of the Portfolio and also may be changed
only with the approval of the holders of a majority of that Portfolio's
outstanding shares. In addition to other restrictions listed in the Statement of
Additional Information, each of the Portfolios may not (except where specified):



     (i) mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any assets except that each Portfolio
     may pledge not more than one-third of its total assets to secure borrowings
     made in accordance with paragraph (ii) below; or



     (ii) purchase securities on margin or borrow money, except from banks for
     extraordinary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment),
     provided that such securities in the aggregate do not exceed an amount
     equal to one-third of the value of the total assets of each Portfolio less
     its liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) at the time of the
     borrowing, and further provided that 300% asset coverage is maintained at
     all times.


     The following are investment restrictions, in addition to other
     restrictions in the Statement of Additional Information, that may be
     changed by a vote of the majority of the Board of Directors. Each of the
     Portfolios will not:

            (a) invest more than 15% of the market value of the Portfolio's net
     assets in illiquid investments including time deposits and repurchase
     agreements of over seven days' duration; or

            (b) purchase securities while borrowings exceed 5% of its total
     assets.


      If a percentage restriction (except (ii) above) is adhered to at the time
an investment is made, a later change in percentage resulting from changes in
the value of a Portfolio's investment securities will not be considered a
violation of a Portfolio's restrictions.


      For a more detailed discussion of these investment restrictions, see
"Investment Restrictions" in the Statement of Additional Information.

                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

      The Fund's Board of Directors, which has overall responsibility for the
management of the Fund, has employed Bessemer Trust Company, N.A. to serve as
Adviser of the Portfolios. The Adviser is a national bank engaged primarily in
investment management, trust, fiduciary and other financial services which it
provides to individuals of high net worth and institutions. The Adviser

supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors, the Adviser makes the Portfolios'
day-to-day investment decisions with respect to all purchases and sales,
arranges for the execution of portfolio transactions and generally manages the
Portfolios' investments. The Adviser also provides supervisory personnel who are
responsible for supervising the performance of the Portfolios' administrator.
However, the administrator, Federated Administrative Services (the
"Administrator"), provides personnel to perform the operational components of
all administrative services.


      Mr. John D. Chadwick is primarily responsible for the day-to-day
investment management of the Core Equities Fund. Prior to joining Bessemer, Mr.

      Due to the services performed by the Adviser and the Administrator, the
Fund currently has no employees and its officers are not required to devote
their full time to the affairs of the Fund. The Statement of Additional
Information contains general background information regarding each Director and
principal officer of the Fund.


      The Adviser, along with its associated entities, Bessemer Trust Company
(New Jersey) and Bessemer Trust Company of Florida, is a subsidiary of The
Bessemer Group, Incorporated, a registered bank holding company in the State of
New Jersey, which is wholly owned by trusts for the benefit of the descendants
of Henry Phipps, a founder of the Carnegie Steel Company. In addition to
services provided to the Phipps family, which now account for less than 20% of
the Adviser's business, the Bessemer banks at present provide investment,
fiduciary and personal banking services to approximately 900 clients with total
assets under management of about $14.9 billion, approximately $1.7 billion of
which is represented by investments in foreign securities, and $840 million of
which is represented by investments in emerging growth securities. The banks
have offices in New York, New York; Washington, D.C.; Woodbridge, New Jersey;
Palm Beach, Florida; Miami, Florida; Naples, Florida; Chicago, Illinois; Los
Angeles, California; San Francisco, California; London, England and Grand
Cayman, Cayman Islands B.W.I. The Adviser's address is 630 Fifth Avenue, New
York, New York 10111. As of February 17, 1998, Bessemer Trust Company,
Woodbridge, New Jersey, held 98.12% of the voting securities of the Growth
Opportunity Fund and 93.33% of the voting securities of the International Fund
under the nominee name Naidot & Co. for its customers, and therefore, may, for
certain purposes, be deemed to control the Growth Opportunity Fund and
International Fund and be able to affect the outcome of certain matters
presented for a vote of shareholders.


      The Adviser may, from time to time, make recommendations which result in
the purchase or sale of a particular security by its other clients
simultaneously with the Portfolios. If transactions on behalf of more than one
client during the same period increase the demand for securities being purchased
or the supply of securities being sold, there may be an adverse effect on price.
It is the policy of the Adviser to allocate advisory recommendations and the
placing of orders in a manner which is deemed equitable by the Adviser to the
accounts involved, including the Portfolios. When two or more of the clients of
the Adviser, including a Portfolio, are purchasing the same security in a given
day from the same broker-dealer, such transactions may be averaged as to price.

      The Advisory Contract contains provisions relating to the selection of
securities brokers to effect the portfolio transactions of the Portfolios. Under
those provisions, subject to applicable law and procedures adopted by the Board
of Directors, the Adviser may (i) pay commissions to brokers which are higher
than might be charged by another qualified broker to obtain brokerage and/or
research services considered by the Adviser to be useful or desirable for its
investment management of the Portfolios and/or other advisory accounts of itself
and any investment adviser affiliated with it; and (ii) consider the sales of
shares of the Portfolios by brokers as a factor in its selection of brokers of
Portfolio transactions.

      As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the
Adviser, the Portfolios pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable
monthly, in accordance with the following schedule:

      The Core Equities Fund--.70% of the first $100 million of Portfolio's
average net assets, .65% of the second $100 million of the Portfolio's average
net assets; and .60% of the Portfolio's average net assets exceeding $200
million;

      The Growth Opportunity Fund and International Fund--.80% of the first $100
million of the Portfolios' average net assets, .75% of the second $100 million
of the Portfolios' average net assets, and .70% of the Portfolio's average net
assets exceeding $200 million; and

      The Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund--.45% of the first $100
million of the Portfolios' average net assets, .40% of the second $100 million
of the Portfolios' average net assets, and .35% of the Portfolio's average net
assets exceeding $200 million.

      The Statement of Additional Information contains further information about
the Advisory Contract including a more complete description of the advisory and
expense arrangements.

      Pursuant to the Portfolios' Distribution and Service Plan, the Adviser
will also act as a shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolios pursuant to
which the Portfolios are permitted to pay the Adviser a maximum of 0.25% per
annum of the Portfolios' average daily net assets to compensate it and to permit
the Adviser to compensate banks and other financial institutions (the Adviser
with such other institutions, each a "Shareholder Servicing Agent") whose
clients are Fund shareholders for providing shareholder services. In addition,
the Plan provides that the Adviser may use the advisory fee or its own resources
for distribution and servicing purposes including defraying the costs of
performing shareholder servicing functions on behalf of the Portfolios,
compensating others, including banks, broker-dealers and other organizations
whose customers or clients are shareholders of the Portfolios for providing
assistance in distributing the Portfolios' shares and defraying the cost of
shareholder servicing and other promotional activities. See "Distribution and
Service Plan."

      The Portfolios are responsible for payment of their expenses, including,
without limitation, the following types of expenses: fees payable to the
Adviser, Distributor, Administrator, custodian, transfer agent and dividend
agent; brokerage and commission expenses; foreign, federal, state or local
taxes, including issuance and transfer taxes incurred by or levied on them;
commitment fees, certain insurance premiums and membership fees and dues in
investment company organizations; interest charges on borrowings;
telecommunications expenses; recurring and nonrecurring legal, accounting,
recordkeeping and auditing expenses; costs of organizing and maintaining the
Fund's existence as a corporation; compensation, including Directors' fees, of
any Directors, officers or employees who are not officers or employees of the
Adviser, the Administrator or their affiliates; costs of other personnel
providing administrative and clerical services; costs of shareholder services,
including charges and expenses of persons providing confirmations of
transactions in the Portfolios' shares, periodic statements to shareholders and
recordkeeping services and costs of shareholders' reports, proxy solicitations,
and corporate meetings; fees and expenses of registering their shares under the
appropriate federal securities laws and of qualifying their shares under
applicable state securities laws, including expenses attendant upon the initial
registration and qualification of these shares and attendant upon renewals of,
or amendments to, those registrations and qualifications; any other distribution
or promotional expenses contemplated by an effective plan adopted by the Fund
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and expenses of preparing, printing
and delivering the initial registration statement and of preparing, printing and
delivering the Prospectus to existing shareholders and of printing shareholder
application forms for shareholder accounts.

      The Distributor pays the promotional and advertising expenses related to
the distribution of the Portfolios' shares and for the printing of the
Portfolios' prospectus used in connection with the distribution and sale of
Portfolio shares for which it may be reimbursed under the Plan. See
"Distribution and Service Plan" herein and in the Statement of Additional
Information.

                               THE ADMINISTRATOR


      Federated Administrative Services, the Administrator, has its principal
office at Federated Investors Tower, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222-3779.



      Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement with the Portfolios, the
Administrator provides the overall administration of the Portfolios, subject to
the supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors including, among other
responsibilities, the negotiation of contracts and fees with, and the monitoring
of performance and billings of, the independent contractors and agents of the
Portfolio; the preparation and filing of all documents required for compliance
by the Portfolios with applicable laws and regulations; providing equipment and
clerical personnel necessary for maintaining the organization of the Portfolios;
preparation of certain documents in connection with meetings of the Board of
Directors and shareholders; and the maintenance of books and records of the
Portfolios. The Administrator provides persons satisfactory to the Board of
Directors of the Fund to serve as officers and directors of the Fund, as the
case may be. Such officers, as well as certain other employees and directors of
the Fund, may be directors, officers or employees of the Administrator or its
affiliates.


      For providing these services and for bearing the related expenses, the
Administrator receives from each Portfolio a fee accrued daily and paid monthly
at an annual rate equal to:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
       MAXIMUM                AVERAGE AGGREGATE DAILY
 ADMINISTRATIVE FEE           NET ASSETS OF THE FUND
<S>                    <C>
        .15%                 on the first $250 million
        .125%                on the next $250 million
        .10%                 on the next $250 million
        .075%           on assets in excess of $750 million
</TABLE>

      The administrative services fee received during any fiscal year shall be
at least $75,000 per Portfolio. Federated Administrative Services may choose to
voluntarily waive a portion of its fee at any time.

                         DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN

      Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Securities and Exchange
Commission has required that an investment company which bears any direct or
indirect expense of distributing its shares must do so only in accordance with a
plan permitted by Rule 12b-1. The Fund's Board of Directors has adopted a
distribution and service plan (the "Plan") for the Portfolios and, pursuant to
the Plan, the Portfolios have entered into a Distribution Agreement and a
Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor and a Shareholder Servicing
Agreement with the Adviser. For its services under its Shareholder Servicing
Agreement, the Distributor is permitted to receive payments from the Portfolios
to permit it to make payments to broker-dealers, with which it has written
agreements and whose clients are Fund shareholders (each a "Broker-Dealer"), for
providing shareholder services up to 0.25% per annum of the Portfolios average
daily net assets attributable to the clients of these Broker-Dealers. For its
services under its Shareholder Servicing Agreement, the Adviser is permitted to
receive a payment from the Portfolios of 0.25% per annum of the Portfolios
average daily net assets attributable to the clients of the Adviser (and its
affiliates) to compensate it for providing shareholder services to such clients.
In addition, the Shareholder Servicing Agreement provides that the Adviser is
permitted to receive payments from the Portfolios (together with the
Distributor's fee, the "Shareholder Servicing Fee") to actually permit it to
make payments to banks, savings and loans and other financial institutions with
which it has written agreements and whose clients are Fund shareholders (each
institution, a "Shareholder Servicing Agent") for providing shareholder services
up to 0.25% per annum of the Portfolios' average daily net assets attributable
to the clients of the other Shareholder Servicing Agents. Therefore, the total
of the Shareholder Servicing Fees in the aggregate payable to the Distributor
and the Adviser will not exceed 0.25% of the net assets of the Portfolios.

      Each Shareholder Servicing Agent and Broker-Dealer will, as agent for its
customers, among other things; answer customer inquiries regarding account
status and history, the manner in which purchases and redemptions of shares of
the Portfolios may be effected and certain other matters pertaining to the
Portfolios; assist shareholders in designating and changing dividend options,
account designations and addressees; provide necessary personnel and facilities
to establish and maintain shareholder accounts and records; assist in processing
purchase and redemption transactions; arrange for the wiring of funds; transmit
and receive funds in connection with customer orders to purchase or redeem
shares; verify and guarantee shareholder signatures in connection with
redemption orders and transfers and changes in shareholder designated accounts;
furnish (either separately or on an integrated basis with other reports sent to
a shareholder by the Portfolios) monthly and year-end statements and
confirmation of purchases and redemptions; transmit, on behalf of the
Portfolios, proxy statements, annual reports, updating prospectuses and other
communications from the Portfolios to shareholders of the Portfolios; receive,
tabulate and transmit to the Portfolios proxies executed by shareholders with
respect to meeting of shareholders of the Portfolios; and provide such other
related services as the Portfolios or a shareholder may request. As set forth in
the preceding paragraph, for these services, each Shareholder Servicing Agent
and Broker-Dealer (either directly or from the Distributor or Adviser) receives
a fee, which may be paid periodically, on an annual basis equal to 0.25% of the
average daily net assets of the Portfolios represented by shares owned during
the period for which payment is being made by investors with whom such
Shareholder Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer maintains a servicing relationship.
Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers may waive all or a portion of
their Shareholder Servicing Fees. In addition, the Distribution Agreement with
the Distributor provides for reimbursement to the Distributor by the Portfolios
for its distribution, promotional and advertising costs incurred in connection
with the distribution of the Portfolios' shares in an amount not to exceed 0.10%
per annum of each Portfolio's average daily net assets (the "Distribution
Reimbursement").

      Under the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor, for nominal
consideration and as agent for the Portfolios, will solicit orders for the
purchase of the Portfolios' shares, provided that any subscriptions and orders
will not be binding on the Portfolios until accepted by the Portfolios as
principal. The Plan, the Distribution Agreement and the Shareholder Servicing
Agreement with the Distributor provide that, in addition to the Shareholder
Servicing Fee and the Distribution Reimbursement, the Portfolios will pay for
(i) telecommunications expenses including the cost of dedicated lines and CRT
terminals incurred by the Distributor in carrying out its obligations under the
Distribution Agreement and the Shareholder Servicing Agreement and by the
Adviser under its Shareholder Servicing Agreement, and (ii) typesetting,
printing and delivering the Portfolios' prospectus to existing shareholders of
the Portfolios and preparing and printing subscription application forms for
shareholder accounts. The expenses enumerated in this paragraph shall not exceed
an amount equal to 0.05% per annum of each Portfolio's average daily net assets.

      The maximum amount payable under the Plan is 0.40% per annum of the
average net assets of each Portfolio.

      The Plan, the Shareholder Servicing Agreements and the Distribution
Agreement each provide that the Adviser and the Distributor may make payments
from time to time from their own resources, which may include past profits for
the following purposes: to defray the costs of and to compensate others,
including financial intermediaries with whom the Distributor or Adviser has
entered into written agreements, for performing shareholder servicing and
related administrative functions on behalf of the Portfolios; to compensate
certain financial intermediaries for providing assistance in distributing the
Portfolios' shares; to pay the costs of printing and distributing the
Portfolios' prospectus to prospective investors; and to defray the cost of the
preparation and printing of brochures and other promotional materials, mailings
to prospective shareholders, advertising, and other promotional activities,
including the salaries and/or commissions of sales personnel in connection with
the distribution of the Portfolios' shares. The Distributor or the Adviser, as
the case may be, in their sole discretion, will determine the amount of such
payments made pursuant to the Plan with the Shareholder Servicing Agents and
Broker-Dealers they have contracted with, provided that such payments made
pursuant to the Plan will not increase the amount which the Portfolios are
required to pay to the Distributor or Adviser for any fiscal year under the
Shareholder Servicing Agreements or otherwise.

      Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers may charge investors a fee
in connection with their use of specialized purchase and redemption procedures
offered to investors by the Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers. In
addition, Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers offering purchase and
redemption procedures similar to those offered to shareholders who invest in the
Portfolios directly may impose charges, limitations, minimums and restrictions
in addition to or different from those applicable to shareholders who invest in
the Portfolios directly. Accordingly, the net yield to investors who invest
through Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers may be less than by
investing in the Portfolios directly. An investor should read this Prospectus in
conjunction with the materials provided by the Shareholder Servicing Agent and
Broker-Dealer describing the procedures under which Portfolio shares may be
purchased and redeemed through the Shareholder Servicing Agent and
Broker-Dealer.

      The Glass-Steagall Act limits the ability of a depository institution to
become an underwriter or distributor of securities. However, it is the Fund's
position that banks are not prohibited from acting in other capacities for
investment companies, such as providing administrative and shareholder account
maintenance services and receiving compensation from the Distributor for
providing such services. However, this is an unsettled area of the law and if a
determination contrary to the Fund's position is made by a bank regulatory
agency or court concerning shareholder servicing and administration payments to
banks from the Distributor, any such payments will be terminated and any shares
registered in the banks' names, for their underlying customers, will be
re-registered in the name of the customers at no cost to the Portfolios or their
shareholders.

PURCHASE OF SHARES

      Shares of the Portfolios may be purchased at net asset value only through
a Shareholder Servicing Agent or through a broker-dealer that has an agreement
with the Distributor. The minimum initial investment is $1,000. Initial
investments may be made in any amount equal to or in excess of the minimum. The
minimum amount for subsequent investments is $100. Orders received as of the
earlier of 4:00 p.m., New York time, or the close of regular trading on any day
on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading ("Fund
Business Day") will be executed at the public offering price determined on that
day. Orders received after the earlier of 4:00 p.m., New York time, or the close
of the NYSE on any Fund Business Day, will be executed at the public offering
price determined on the next Fund Business Day. Shares will be issued upon
receipt of payment by the Portfolios. The Portfolios or the Distributor each
reserves the right to reject any subscription for its shares. Certificates for
Portfolio shares will not be issued to those who invest in the Portfolios.

HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES

      All funds received by the Portfolios are invested in full and fractional
shares of the Portfolios. Certificates for shares are not issued. The Fund
maintains records of each shareholder's holdings of Portfolio shares, and each
Shareholder Servicing Agent and Broker-Dealer maintains records of each of their
customer's accounts and each shareholder receives a statement of transactions,
holdings and dividends. The Portfolios reserve the right to reject any purchase.
Shares of the Portfolios may be purchased only in those states where they may
lawfully be sold.

      An investment may be made using any of the following methods:

      By Mail. Contact your Shareholder Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer for
further instructions. Checks are accepted subject to collection at full value.
Shares will be issued upon receipt of payment by the Portfolios. If shares are
purchased by check and redeemed before the check has cleared, the transmittal of
redemption proceeds will be delayed until funds are collected, which may take up
to 7 days from the date of purchase.

      For shareholders who do not maintain a relationship with a Shareholder
Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer, shares of the Portfolios may be purchased
directly from the Distributor. Purchase orders will be effected at the public
offering price next determined after acceptance of the order by the Distributor.

      Shareholders wishing to purchase shares of the Portfolios through the
Distributor must complete a Purchase Application accompanying this Prospectus
and mail it together with a check payable to the name of the Portfolio to:

                               Old Westbury Funds, Inc.
                               P.O. Box 926
                               New York, NY 10159-0926

      Subsequent investments in the Portfolios do not require a Purchase
Application, however, the shareholder's account number must be clearly marked on
the check to ensure proper credit. Subsequent purchases may also be made by
sending a check with the detachable coupon that regularly accompanies the
confirmation of a previous transaction.

      Accounts of shareholders who purchase shares directly from the Distributor
will be maintained by the transfer agent for the Fund, Fundamental Shareholder
Services, Inc. ("FSSI" or the "Transfer Agent"). For account balance information
and shareholder services, shareholders may call FSSI at (800) 607-2200.

      By Wire. Investments may be made directly through the use of wire
transfers of federal funds. Shares purchased by wire will be effected at the
public offering price next determined after acceptance of the order by the
Distributor. Contact your bank and request it to wire federal funds to a
Portfolio. In most cases, your bank will either be a member of the Federal
Reserve Banking System or have a relationship with a bank that is. Your bank
will normally charge you a fee for handling the transaction. Contact your
Shareholder Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer for further instructions.

      For shareholders who do not maintain a relationship with a Shareholder
Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer, shares may be purchased directly from the
Distributor by federal funds wire. Please contact the Transfer Agent at (800)
607-2200 for specific instructions.

      Investors making initial investments by wire must promptly complete the
Purchase Application accompanying this Prospectus and forward it to FSSI, the
Fund's Transfer Agent. No Purchase Application is required for subsequent
purchases. Completed applications should be directed to the address listed above
under "How to Purchase Shares--By Mail." The application may also be sent by
facsimile. Please contact FSSI at (800) 607-2200 for complete instructions.

                              REDEMPTION OF SHARES


      Upon receipt by the Portfolios of a redemption request in proper form,
shares of the Portfolios will be redeemed at their next determined net asset
value. Orders received as of the earlier of 4:00 p.m., New York time, or the
close of regular trading on any day on the NYSE on each Fund Business Day will
be executed at the public offering price determined on that day. Orders received
after the earlier of 4:00 p.m., New York time, or the close of the NYSE on any
Fund Business Day, will be executed at the public offering price determined on
the next Fund Business Day.


      Checks for redemption proceeds will be mailed to the shareholder's address
of record within seven days, but will not be mailed until all checks in payment
for the purchase of the shares to be redeemed have been honored, which may take
up to 7 days. The proceeds of a redemption may be more or less than the amount
invested and, therefore, a redemption may result in gain or loss for income tax
purposes.

      By Telephone. Redemptions may be made by calling your Shareholder
Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer. The Shareholder Servicing Agents or
Broker-Dealers may accept telephone redemption requests from any person with
respect to accounts of shareholders who have previously elected this service and
thus such shareholders risk possible loss of principal and interest in the event
of a telephone redemption not authorized by them. The Portfolios will employ
reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone redemption instructions are
genuine and will require that shareholders electing such option provide a form
of personal identification. The failure by a Portfolio to employ such procedures
may cause a Portfolio to be liable for any losses incurred by investors due to
telephone redemptions based upon unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. The
telephone redemption option may be modified or discounted at any time upon
60-days notice to shareholders and may not be available through all Shareholder
Servicing Agents or Broker-Dealers.

      For shareholders whose accounts are maintained by the Transfer Agent and
who have previously selected the telephone redemption option, telephone
redemptions may be made by calling (800) 607-2200.

      By Mail. Redemption requests may be made by letter to the Shareholder
Servicing Agents or Broker-Dealers, specifying the name of the Portfolio, the
dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed, and the account number. The
request must be signed in exactly the same way the account is registered (if
there is more than one owner of the shares, all must sign). In cases where the
amount redeemed exceeds $50,000, all the signatures on a redemption request must
be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution which includes a domestic
bank, a domestic savings and loan institution, a domestic credit union, a member
bank of the Federal Reserve System or a member firm of a national securities
exchange; pursuant to the Portfolios' transfer agent's standards and procedures.
(Guarantees by notaries public are not acceptable.) Further documentation, such
as copies of corporate resolutions and instruments of authority, may be
requested from corporations, administrators, executors, personal
representatives, trustees or custodians to evidence the authority of the person
or entity making the redemption request.

      Shareholders may also redeem Portfolio shares through participating
organizations holding such shares who have made arrangements with the Portfolios
permitting them to redeem such shares by telephone or facsimile transmission and
who may charge a fee for this service.

      For shareholders whose accounts are maintained by the Transfer Agent,
redemptions may be made by sending a written redemption request to a Portfolio
at:

                               Old Westbury Funds, Inc.
                               P.O. Box 926
                               New York, NY 10159-0926

      The redemption request must be signature guaranteed as noted above.

      The right of redemption may not be suspended or the date of payment upon
redemption postponed for more than seven days after the shares are tendered for
redemption, except for any period when (i) trading on the NYSE is restricted or
the NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closing; (ii) the
Securities and Exchange Commission has by order permitted such suspension for
the protection of the shareholders of the Portfolios; or (iii) an emergency, as
defined by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, exists making
disposal of portfolio investments or determination of the value of the net
assets of the Portfolios not reasonably practicable.

      To minimize expenses, the Portfolios reserve the right to redeem, upon not
less than 30 days written notice to shareholders, all shares of the Portfolios
in an account (other than an Individual Retirement Account) which has a value
below $500 caused by reason of a redemption by a shareholder of shares of the
Portfolios. However, a shareholder will be allowed to make additional
investments prior to the date fixed for redemption to avoid liquidation of the
account.

      The proceeds of a redemption may be more or less than the amount invested
and, therefore, a redemption may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes.

                               EXCHANGE OF SHARES

      An investor may, without cost, exchange shares of any Portfolio of the
Fund into any other Portfolio of the Fund, subject to the $1,000 minimum initial
investment requirement for each Portfolio. See "Purchase of Shares." The Fund
will provide shareholders with 60 days' written notice prior to any modification
of the exchange privilege. Shares are exchanged on the basis of relative net
asset value per share. Exchanges are in effect redemptions from one Portfolio
and purchases of another Portfolio; and the Portfolios' purchase and redemption
procedures and requirements are applicable to exchanges. An exchange pursuant to
this exchange privilege is treated for federal income tax purposes as a sale on
which a shareholder may realize a taxable gain or loss. See "Purchase of Shares"
and "Redemption of Shares."

                                RETIREMENT PLANS

      The Fund has available a form of Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") for
investment in all Portfolios except the Municipal Bond Fund. Because of the
Municipal Bond Fund's tax-free nature, it may not be a suitable investment for
retirement plans. Self-employed investors may purchase shares of the Portfolio
through tax-deductible contributions to existing retirement plans for
self-employed persons, known as Keogh or H.R. 10 plans. Portfolio shares may
also be a suitable investment for other types of qualified pension or
profit-sharing plans which are employer-sponsored, including deferred
compensation or salary reduction plans known as "401(k) Plans" which give
participants the right to defer portions of their compensation for investment on
a tax-deferred basis until distributions are made from the plans.

      The minimum initial investment for all such retirement plans is $1,000.
The minimum for all subsequent investments is $100.

      Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
individuals may make wholly or partly tax deductible IRA contributions of up to
$2,000 annually, depending on whether they are active participants in an
employer-sponsored retirement plan and on their income level. However, dividends
and distributions held in the account are not taxed until withdrawn in
accordance with the provisions of the Code. An individual with a non-working
spouse may establish a separate IRA for the spouse under the same conditions and
contribute a combined maximum of $4,000 annually to either or both IRAs provided
that no more than $2,000 may be contributed to the IRA of either spouse.

      Investors should be aware that they may be subject to penalties or
additional tax on contributions or withdrawals from IRAs or other retirement
plans which are not permitted by the applicable provisions of the Code, and,
prior to a withdrawal, shareholders may be required to certify their age and
awareness of such restrictions in writing. Persons desiring information
concerning investments through IRAs or other retirement plans should write or
telephone his or her Shareholder Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer. For
Shareholders who do not maintain a relationship with a Shareholder Servicing
Agent or Broker-Dealer, information on an IRA account may be obtained by calling
the Distributor at 800-607-2200.

                       DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

      Each dividend and capital gains distribution, if any, declared by the
Portfolios on their outstanding shares will, at the election of each
shareholder, be paid on the payment date fixed by the Board of Directors in
additional shares of the Portfolios having an aggregate net asset value as of
the ex-dividend date of such dividend or distribution equal to the cash amount
of such dividend or distribution. An election to receive dividends and
distributions in cash or shares is made at the time shares are subscribed for
and may be changed by notifying the Portfolios in writing at any time prior to
the record date for a particular dividend or distribution. There are no charges
in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions. Shareholders may change this election by notifying their
Shareholder Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer. There is no fixed dividend rate,
and there can be no assurance that the Portfolios will pay any dividends or
realize any capital gains. The Portfolios anticipate paying income and capital
gains distributions, if any, on a quarterly basis.

      The following is a general discussion of certain of the federal income tax
consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of the
Portfolios. The summary is limited to investors who hold the shares as "capital
assets" (generally, property held for investment), and to whom special
categories of rules do not apply, such as foreign investors and tax-exempt
investors. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers in determining the
federal, state, local and any other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership
and disposition of shares.

      The Portfolios intend to qualify for and elect the special tax treatment
applicable to "regulated investment companies." To qualify as a regulated
investment company, the Portfolios must meet certain complex tests concerning
its investments and distributions. It is anticipated that the Portfolios will
not be subject to federal income or excise tax.


      Dividends from net investment income and distributions of realized
short-term capital gains will be taxable to the recipient shareholders as
ordinary income. However, shareholders of the Municipal Bond Fund are not
required to pay the regular federal income tax on any exempt interest dividends,
dividends received from the Municipal Bond Fund that represent net interest on
tax-exempt municipal bonds; but, under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, dividends
representing net interest earned on certain "private-activity" municipal bonds
may be included in calculating the federal alternative minimum tax for
individuals or corporations. Dividends of the Municipal Bond Fund representing
net interest income earned on some temporary taxable investments and any
realized net short-term gains are taxed as ordinary income.



      Distributions of long-term capital gains will be taxable to shareholders
as long-term capital gains. If an investor purchases shares shortly before a
distribution date, the distribution may be taxable to the investor, even though,
in effect, it is a return of principal.



      A shareholder may recognize a taxable gain or loss if the shareholder
sells or redeems his shares. If the securities held by the Portfolios appreciate
in value, purchasers of shares of the Portfolios after the occurrence of such
appreciation will acquire such shares subject to the tax obligation that may be
incurred in the future when there is a sale of such securities.



      The federal tax status of each year's distributions will be reported to
shareholders and to the Internal Revenue Service. Distributions may also be
subject to state and local taxation and shareholders should consult their own
tax advisers in this regard.



      Investment income received by the International Fund from sources within
foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. The
United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries that
entitle the International Fund to reduced tax rates or exemptions on this
income. The effective rate of foreign tax cannot be predicted since the amount
of International Fund's assets to be invested within various countries is
unknown. However, the International Fund intends to operate so as to qualify for
treaty-reduced tax rates where applicable.



      If more than 50% of the value of the International Fund's assets at the
end of the tax year is represented by stock or securities of foreign
corporations, the International Fund intends to elect to allow shareholders to
claim a foreign tax credit or deduction with respect to such foreign taxes on
their U.S. income tax returns. The Code may limit a shareholder's ability to
claim a foreign tax credit. Furthermore, shareholders who elect to deduct their
portion of the International Fund's foreign taxes rather than take the foreign
tax credit must itemize deductions on their income tax returns.


      In the case of corporate shareholders, distributions attributable to
dividends received from foreign corporations will not be eligible for the
dividends-received deduction.


      Distributions that are taxable as ordinary income to Shareholders will
constitute dividends for federal income tax purposes, but will be eligible for
the dividends-received deduction for corporations (other than corporations such
as "S" corporations that are not eligible for such deduction because of their
special characteristics and other than for purposes of special taxes such as the
accumulated earnings tax and the personal holding company tax) only to the
extent of dividends received from domestic issuers by each Portfolio. In
addition a dividends received deduction will be available only if (a) each
Portfolio has held the securities on which such dividend is paid for 46 days or
more during the 90-day period beginning on the date 45 days before such
securities become ex-dividend with respect to such dividends and (b) the
Shareholder has satisfied a similar holding period with respect to its Share.
The dividends-received deduction percentage is currently 70%. However, Congress
from time to time considers proposals to reduce the rate, and enactment of such
a proposal would adversely affect the after-tax return to investors who can take
advantage of the deduction.


      The Portfolios are required by federal law to withhold 31% of reportable
payments paid to certain shareholders who have not complied with Internal
Revenue Service regulations. In connection with this withholding requirement, a
shareholder will be asked to certify on his application that the social security
or tax identification number provided is correct and that the shareholder is not
subject to the 31% backup withholding for previous underreporting to the
Internal Revenue Service.

                     CALCULATION OF INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

      The Portfolios may from time to time include their yield, total return,
average annual total return, and, with respect to the Municipal Bond Fund, its
tax-equivalent yield in advertisements or information furnished to present or
prospective shareholders. The Portfolios may also from time to time include in
advertisements the ranking of those performance figures relative to such figures
for groups of mutual funds categorized by the Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.,
CDA Investment Technologies, Inc., Morningstar Inc., Wiesenberger Investment
Company Service, Barron's, Business Week, Changing Times, Financial World,
Forbes, Fortune, Money, Personal Investor, Bank Rate Monitor, and The Wall
Street Journal as having the same investment objectives. The performance of the
Portfolios may be compared to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, Dow Jones
Industrial Average, Wilshire 2000, Lipper General Municipal Bond Index, Lehman
Government/ Corporate Bond Index, and the Europe, Australia and Far East Index.

      Average annual total return is a measure of the average annual compounded
rate of return of $1,000 invested at the maximum public offering price over a
specified period, which assumes that any dividends or capital gains
distributions are automatically reinvested in a Portfolio rather than paid to
the investor in cash. Total return is calculated with the same assumptions and
shows the aggregate return on an investment over a specified period.

      The formula for total return used by the Portfolios includes three steps:
(1) adding to the total number of shares purchased by the hypothetical
investment in a Portfolio of $1,000 all additional shares that would have been
purchased if all dividends and distributions paid or distributed during the
period had been automatically reinvested; (2) calculating the value of the
hypothetical initial investment as of the end of the period by multiplying the
total number of shares owned at the end of the period by the net asset value per
share on the last trading day of the period; and (3) dividing this account value
for the hypothetical investor by the amount of the initial investment and
annualizing the result for periods of less than one year.

      The Portfolios compute yield by annualizing net investment income per
share for a recent 30-day period and dividing that amount by a Portfolio's
share's maximum public offering price (reduced by any undeclared earned income
expected to be paid shortly as a dividend) on the last trading day of that
period. A Portfolio's yield will vary from time to time depending upon market
conditions, the composition of a Portfolio and operating expenses of a
Portfolio. The tax-equivalent yield is calculated similarly to the yield, but is
adjusted to reflect the taxable yield that the Municipal Bond Fund would have
had to earn to equal its actual yield, assuming a specific tax rate.

      Total return, yield and tax-equivalent yield may be stated with or without
giving effect to any expense limitations in effect for the Portfolios.

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

      The Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on
August 26, 1993 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as
a diversified, open-end, management investment company.

      The Fund prepares semi-annual unaudited and annual audited reports which
include a list of investment securities held by each Portfolio and which are
sent to shareholders.

      As a general matter, the Fund will not hold annual or other meetings of
the Portfolios' shareholders. This is because the By-laws of the Fund provide
for meetings only: (a) for the election of directors as required by the 1940
Act, (b) for approval of revised investment advisory contracts with respect to a
particular class or series of stock, (c) for approval of revisions to the Fund's
distribution plan as required by the 1940 Act with respect to a particular class
or series of stock, and (d) upon the written request of holders of shares
entitled to cast not less than ten percent of all the votes entitled to be cast
at such meeting. The Portfolios' shareholders retain the right to remove
directors. Furthermore, the Fund will assist in shareholder communications.

      The Fund's Board of Directors is authorized to divide the unissued shares
into separate series of stock, each series representing a separate, additional
investment portfolio. Shares of all series will have identical voting rights,
except where, by law, certain matters must be approved by a majority of the
shares of the affected series. Each share of any series of shares when issued
has equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and voting rights within the
series for which it was issued, and each fractional share has those rights in
proportion to the percentage that the fractional share represents of a whole
share. Shares will be voted in the aggregate. There are no conversion or
preemptive rights in connection with any shares of the Portfolios. See
"Description of Common Stock" in the Statement of Additional Information.

      Annual and other meetings may be required with respect to such additional
matters relating to the Fund as may be required by the 1940 Act, any
registration of the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
state, or as the Directors may consider necessary or desirable. Each Director
serves until the next meeting of the shareholders called for the purpose of
considering the election or reelection of such Director or of a successor to
such Director, and until the election and qualification of his or her successor,
elected at such a meeting, or until such Director sooner dies, resigns, retires
or is removed by the vote of the shareholders.

      For further information with respect to the Portfolios and the shares
offered hereby, reference is made to the Fund's registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the exhibits thereto. The
Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto may be examined at the
Commission and copies thereof may be obtained upon payment of certain
duplicating fees.

                                NET ASSET VALUE


      Shares of the Portfolios are sold at net asset value without a sales
charge. The net asset value of the Portfolios' shares is determined as of the
earlier of 4:00 p.m., New York time, or as of the close of regular trading on
the NYSE on each Fund Business Day. It is computed by dividing the value of the
Portfolios' net assets (i.e., the value of a Portfolio's securities and other
assets less its liabilities, including expenses payable or accrued but excluding
capital stock and surplus) by the total number of shares outstanding. Portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
market value. All other investment assets of the Portfolios are valued in such
manner as the Board of Directors in good faith deems appropriate to reflect
their fair value.


                         CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND
                           DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT

      Bessemer Trust Company (New Jersey) is custodian for the Portfolios' cash
and securities. The Portfolios' custodian does not assist in, and is not
responsible for, investment decisions involving assets of the Portfolios.
Fundamental Shareholder Services, Inc., whose principal address is 11 West 25th
Street, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10010-2001, is the Portfolios' transfer and
dividend disbursing agent.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

         
Old Westbury Core Equities Fund ("Core Equities Fund"), Old Westbury
Growth Opportunity Fund ("Growth Opportunity Fund") and Old Westbury
International Fund ("International Fund") each will normally invest its assets
primarily in common stocks, but may, however, increase its holdings in equity
securities other than common stocks including convertible securities, preferred
stock and warrants when the Adviser believes it is advisable to do so. Each such
Portfolio may also invest in debt securities as described in their respective
Prospectus. Investments in debt securities are consistent with the Portfolios'
investment objective because they could result in capital appreciation due to an
increase in the value of such securities caused by changes in interest rates and
currency values. Old Westbury Fixed Income Fund ("Fixed Income Fund") will
normally invest in debt securities, and Old Westbury Municipal Bond Fund
("Municipal Bond Fund") will normally invest in municipal securities.

      Each Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company"
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). Each Portfolio will be restricted in that, at the close of each quarter
of the taxable year, at least 50% of the value of each Portfolio's total assets
must be represented by cash, Government securities, investment company
securities and other securities limited in respect of any one issuer to not more
than 5% in value of the total assets of each Portfolio and to not more than 10%
of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer. In addition, at the close
of each quarter of its taxable year, not more than 25% in value of each
Portfolio's total assets may be invested in the securities of one issuer, other
than Government securities, or in the securities of two or more issuers
controlled by the Portfolio that are engaged in the same or similar or related
trades or businesses. The limitations described in this paragraph regarding
qualifications as a "regulated investment company" are not fundamental policies
and may be revised to the extent applicable federal income tax requirements are
revised.

DESCRIPTION OF EACH PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND RISK FACTORS

      The following discussion is additional disclosure that supplements the
Portfolios' Prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the current
Prospectus. The material relating to the risk factors pertaining to the
securities invested by each Portfolio set forth in its Prospectus is herein
incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have
the meanings accorded to them in the Portfolios' Prospectus. The Fund's
executive offices are located at 5800 Corporate Drive, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
15237-7010.    

Foreign Securities

Investments are made primarily in those regions where, in the opinion of the
Portfolios' Adviser, there are opportunities to achieve superior investment
returns relative to other investment opportunities outside the United States.
The International Fund does not, however, generally invest in debt or equity
securities of U.S. issuers. The International Fund emphasizes those industrial
sectors of the world's market which, in the opinion of its Adviser, offer the
most attractive risk/reward relationships. Securities of any given issuer are
evaluated on the basis of such measures as price/earnings ratios, price/book
ratios, cash flows and dividend and interest income.

Since investments in foreign securities may involve foreign currencies, the
value of a Portfolio's assets as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected
favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency rates and exchange control
regulations, including currency blockage. The International Fund may enter into
forward commitments for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies in connection
with the settlement of foreign securities transactions or to manage the
International Fund's currency exposure related to foreign investments as
described in the Prospectus.

The Portfolios, other than the Municipal Bond Fund, may invest in certain
foreign securities; however, the only foreign securities the Growth Opportunity
Fund may invest in are securities of Canadian based companies (see "Canadian
Companies" in the Prospectus). Investment in securities of foreign issuers and
in obligations of foreign branches of domestic banks involves somewhat different
investment risks from those affecting securities of U.S. domestic issuers. There
may be limited publicly available information with respect to foreign issuers,
and foreign issuers are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing
and financial standards and requirements comparable to those applicable to
domestic companies. Dividends and interest paid by foreign issuers may be
subject to withholding and other foreign taxes which may decrease the net return
on foreign investments as compared to dividends and interest paid to the
Portfolios by domestic companies.

Investors should realize that the value of the Portfolios' investments in
foreign securities may be adversely affected by changes in political or social
conditions, diplomatic relations, confiscatory taxation, expropriation,
nationalization, limitation on the removal of funds or assets, or imposition of
(or change in) exchange control or tax regulations in those foreign countries.
In addition, changes in government administrations or economic or monetary
policies in the United States or abroad could result in appreciation or
depreciation of portfolio securities and could favorably or unfavorably affect
the Portfolios' operations. Furthermore, the economies of individual foreign
nations may differ from the U.S. economy, whether favorably or unfavorably, in
areas such as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital
reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position; it may
also be more difficult to obtain and enforce a judgment against a foreign
issuer. Any foreign investments made by the Portfolios must be made in
compliance with U.S. foreign currency restrictions and tax laws restricting the
amounts and types of foreign investments.

In addition, while the volume of transactions effected on foreign stock
exchanges has increased in recent years, in most cases it remains appreciably
below that of domestic security exchanges. Accordingly, the Portfolios' foreign
investments may be less liquid and their prices may be more volatile than
comparable investments in securities of U.S. companies. Moreover, the settlement
periods for foreign securities, which are often longer than those for securities
of U.S. issuers, may affect portfolio liquidity. In buying and selling
securities on foreign exchanges, purchasers normally pay fixed commissions that
are generally higher than the negotiated commissions charged in the United
States. In addition, there is generally less government supervision and
regulation of securities exchanges, brokers and issuers located in foreign
countries than in the United States.

   
The International Fund may invest in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"),
European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") or
other similar securities of foreign issuers. These securities may not
necessarily be dominated in the same currency as the securities they represent.
ADRs are receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company evidencing
ownership of the underlying foreign securities. Certain such institutions
issuing ADRs may not be sponsored by the issuer of the underlying foreign
securities. A non-sponsored depository may not provide the same shareholder
information that a sponsored depository is required to provide under its
contractual arrangements with the issuer of the underlying foreign securities.
EDRs are receipts issued by a European financial institution evidencing a
similar arrangement. Generally, ADRs, in registered form, are designed for use
in the U.S. securities markets, and EDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use
in European securities markets.

Money Market Instruments

      As discussed in the Prospectus, each Portfolio may invest in money market
instruments to the extent consistent with its investment objective and policies.
A description of the various types of money market instruments that may be
purchased by a Portfolio appears below.

U.S. Treasury Securities

      The Portfolios may invest in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury,
including Treasury bills, notes and bonds, all of which are backed as to
principal and interest payments by the full faith and credit of the United
States.

Additional U.S. Government Obligations

      The Portfolios may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S.
Government agencies or instrumentalities. These obligations may or may not be
backed by the "full faith and credit" of the United States. In the case of
securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the
Portfolios must look principally to the federal agency issuing or guaranteeing
the obligation for ultimate repayment, and may not be able to assert a claim
against the United States itself in the event the agency or instrumentality does
not meet its commitments. Securities in which the Portfolios may invest that are
not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States include, but are
not limited to, obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and
the U.S. Postal Service, each of which has the right to borrow from the U.S.
Treasury to meet its obligations. Securities in which the Portfolios may invest
that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States include
obligations of the Federal Farm Credit System and the Federal Home Loan Banks,
both of whose obligations may be satisfied only by the individual credits of
each issuing agency. Securities which are backed by the full faith and credit of
the United States include obligations of the Government National Mortgage
Association, the Farmers Home Administration, and the Export-Import Bank.

Bank Obligations

      The Portfolios, unless otherwise noted in their Prospectus or below, may
invest in negotiable certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers'
acceptances of (i) banks, savings and loan associations and savings banks which
have more than $2 billion in total assets (the "Asset Limitation") and are
organized under the laws of the United States or any state, (ii) foreign
branches of these banks or of foreign banks of equivalent size (Euros) and (iii)
U.S. branches of foreign banks of equivalent size (Yankees). The Portfolios will
not invest in obligations for which the Adviser, or any of its affiliated
persons, is the ultimate obligor or accepting bank. The Portfolios may also
invest in obligations of international banking institutions designated or
supported by national governments to promote economic reconstruction,
development or trade between nations (e.g., the European Investment Bank, the
Inter-American Development Bank, or the World Bank).

Commercial Paper

         
The Portfolios may invest in commercial paper, including master demand
obligations. Master demand obligations are obligations that provide for a
periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid and permit daily changes in the
amount borrowed. The commercial paper in which the Portfolios may invest must be
rated A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's ("S&P"), Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch IBCA, Inc.
("Fitch"). Master demand obligations are governed by agreements between the
issuer and Bessemer Trust Company, N.A., acting as agent, for no additional fee,
in its capacity as investment adviser to the Portfolios and as fiduciary for
other clients for whom it exercises investment discretion. The monies loaned to
the borrower come from accounts managed by the Adviser or its affiliates,
pursuant to arrangements with such accounts. Interest and principal payments
are credited to such accounts. The Adviser, acting as a fiduciary on behalf of
its clients, has the right to increase or decrease the amount provided to the
borrower under an obligation. The borrower has the right to pay without penalty
all or any part of the principal amount then outstanding on an obligation
together with interest to the date of payment. Since these obligations typically
provide that the interest rate is tied to the Federal Reserve commercial paper
composite rate, the rate on master demand obligations is subject to change.
Repayment of a master demand obligation to participating accounts depends on the
ability of the borrower to pay the accrued interest and principal of the
obligation on demand which is continuously monitored by the Adviser. Since
master demand obligations typically are not rated by credit rating agencies, the
Portfolios may invest in such unrated obligations only if at the time of an
investment the obligation is determined by the Adviser to have a credit quality
which satisfies the Portfolios' quality restrictions. Although there is no
secondary market for master demand obligations, such obligations are considered
by the Portfolios to be liquid because they are payable upon demand. The
Portfolios do not have any specific percentage limitation on investments in
master demand obligations.

Money Market Mutual Funds

      The Portfolios, other than International Fund, may invest in securities of
money market mutual funds. See "Investment Company Securities" below.

Foreign Government Obligations

      The International Fund, Growth Opportunity Fund and Fixed Income Fund,
subject to their applicable investment policies, may also invest in short-term
obligations of foreign sovereign governments or of their agencies,
instrumentalities, authorities or political subdivisions. These securities may
be denominated in the U.S. dollar or in another currency.

Foreign Currency Exchange Transactions and Options

      Because the International Fund may buy and sell securities and receive
interest and dividends in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Portfolio
may from time to time enter into foreign currency exchange transactions. The
Portfolio either enters into these transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at
the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or uses forward
contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. The cost of the Portfolio's
spot currency exchange transactions is generally the difference between the bid
and offer spot rate of the currency being purchased or sold.

      A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an obligation by the
Portfolio to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be
any fixed number of days from the date of the contract. Forward foreign currency
exchange contracts establish an exchange rate at a future date. These contracts
are derivative instruments, as their value derives from the spot exchange rates
of the currencies underlying the contract. These contracts are entered into in
the interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial
banks) and their customers. A foreign currency exchange contract generally has
no deposit requirement and is traded at a net price without commission. The
Portfolio will not enter into forward contracts for speculative purposes.
Neither spot transactions nor forward foreign currency exchange contracts
eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Portfolio's securities or in foreign
exchange rates, or prevent loss if the prices of these securities should
decline.

      The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions in an
attempt to protect against changes in foreign currency exchange rates between
the trade and settlement dates of specific securities transactions or
anticipated securities transactions. A Portfolio may also enter into forward
contracts to hedge against a change in foreign currency exchange rates that
would cause a decline in the value of existing investments denominated or
principally traded in a foreign currency. To do this, the Portfolio would enter
into a forward contract to sell the foreign currency in which the investment is
denominated or principally traded in exchange for the U.S. dollar or in exchange
for another foreign currency. The Portfolio will only enter into forward
contracts to sell a foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency if
the Adviser expects the foreign currency purchased to appreciate against the
U.S. dollar.

      Although these transactions are intended to minimize the risk of loss due
to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they limit
any potential gain that might be realized should the value of the hedged
currency increase. In addition, forward contracts that convert a foreign
currency into another foreign currency will cause the Portfolio to assume the
risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency purchased vis a vis the hedged
currency and the U.S. dollar. The precise matching of the forward contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible
because the future value of such securities in foreign currencies will change as
a consequence of market movements in the value of such securities between the
date the forward contract is entered into and the date it matures. The
projection of currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the
successful execution of a hedging strategy is highly uncertain.

      In using options as a hedge against changes in the value of foreign
currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, each Portfolio may trade exchange-traded
options on foreign currencies. The Portfolio may write (sell) covered call
options and secured put options on up to 25% of net assets and may purchase put
and call options provided that no more than 5% of net assets may be invested in
premiums on such options.

      A separate account of the Portfolio will be established with the
Portfolio's custodian consisting of cash or U.S. government or other high-grade
liquid debt obligations equal to the amount of a Portfolio's assets that could
be required to consummate forward contracts or put options entered into to hedge
against movements in the value of foreign currencies with respect to the
Portfolio's portfolio positions. For the purpose of determining the adequacy of
the securities in the account, the deposited securities will be valued at market
or fair value. If the market or fair value of such securities declines,
additional cash or high grade liquid debt securities will be placed in the
account daily so that the value of the account will equal the amount of such
commitments by the Portfolio.

Warrants and Rights

      The Growth Opportunity Fund, International Fund and Core Equities Fund may
invest in warrants. Warrants basically are options to purchase equity securities
at a specified price valid for a specific period of time. Their prices do not
necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying securities. Rights are
similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed
directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting
rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of
the issuer. The Portfolios do not intend to purchase warrants and rights in
excess of 5% of each Portfolio's total assets.

Convertible Securities


The Growth Opportunity Fund, Fixed Income Fund, International Fund and
Core Equities Fund may, as an interim alternative to investment in common
stocks, purchase investment grade convertible debt securities having a rating
of, or equivalent to, at least "BBB" by S&P or "Baa" by Moody's or, if unrated,
judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Securities rated BBB or Baa
have speculative characteristics. Although lower rated bonds generally have
higher yields, they are more speculative and subject to a greater risk of
default with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay
principal than are higher rated debt securities.    

         
In selecting convertible securities for the Portfolios, the Adviser
relies primarily on its own evaluation of the issuer and the potential for
capital appreciation through conversion. It does not rely on the rating of the
security or sell because of a change in rating absent a change in its own
evaluation of the underlying common stock and the ability of the issuer to pay
principal and interest or dividends when due without disrupting its business
goals. Interest or dividend yield is a factor only to the extent it is
reasonably consistent with prevailing rates for securities of similar quality
and thereby provides a support level for the market price of the security. The
Portfolios will purchase the convertible securities of highly leveraged issuers
only when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the risk of default is outweighed by
the potential for capital appreciation. The Portfolios do not intend to purchase
convertible securities in excess of 5% of the Portfolio's total assets.    

Risk Factors-Lower Rated Fixed Income Securities

      The issuers of debt obligations having speculative characteristics may
experience difficulty in paying principal and interest when due in the event of
a downturn in the economy or unanticipated corporate developments. The market
prices of such securities may become increasingly volatile in periods of
economic uncertainty. Moreover, adverse publicity or the perceptions of
investors over which the Adviser has no control, whether or not based on
fundamental analysis, may decrease the market price and liquidity of such
investments. Although the Adviser will attempt to avoid exposing each Portfolio
to such risks, there is no assurance that it will be successful or that a liquid
secondary market will continue to be available for the disposition of such
securities. The International Fund and Fixed Income Fund will not purchase or
hold more than 5% of its net assets in securities rated below investment grade.
The Growth Opportunity Fund, Core Equities Fund and Municipal Bond Fund will not
invest in securities rated below investment grade.

         
The market for unrated securities may not be as liquid as the market
for rated securities, which may result in depressed prices for the Portfolios in
the disposal of such nonrated securities. There is no established secondary
market for many of these securities. The Adviser cannot anticipate whether these
securities could be sold other than to institutional investors. There is
frequently no secondary market for the resale of those debt obligations that are
in default. The limited market for these securities may affect the amount
actually realized by each Portfolio upon such sale. Such sale may result in a
loss to each Portfolio. There are certain risks involved in applying credit
ratings as a method of evaluating high yield securities. For example, while
credit rating agencies evaluate the safety of principal and interest payments,
they do not evaluate the market risk of the securities and the securities may
decrease in value as a result of credit developments. See "Description of
Corporate Debt Ratings" for a comparison of investment grade and speculative
ratings issued by S&P and Moody's.    

      Lower rated and nonrated securities tend to offer higher yields than
higher rated securities with the same maturities because the creditworthiness of
the obligors of lower rated securities may not have been as strong as that of
other issuers. Since there is a general perception that there are greater risks
associated with the lower-rated securities in each Portfolio, the yields and
prices of such securities tend to fluctuate more with changes in the perceived
quality of the credit of their obligors. In addition, the market value of high
yield securities may fluctuate more than the market value of higher rated
securities since high yield securities tend to reflect short-term market
developments to a greater extent than higher rated securities, which fluctuate
primarily in response to the general level of interest rates, assuming that
there has been no change in the fundamental credit quality of such securities.
High yield securities are also more sensitive to adverse economic changes and
events affecting specific issuers than are higher rated securities. Periods of
economic uncertainty can be expected to result in increased market price
volatility of the high yield securities. High yield securities may also be
directly and adversely affected by variables such as interest rates,
unemployment rates, inflation rates and real growth in the economy and may be
more susceptible to variables such as adverse publicity and negative investor
perception than are more highly rated securities, particularly in a limited
secondary market. Lower rated securities generally involve greater risks of loss
of income and principal than higher rated securities. The obligors of lower
rated securities possess less creditworthy characteristics than the obligors of
higher rated securities, as is evidenced by those securities that have
experienced a downgrading in rating or that are in default. The evaluation of
the price of such securities is highly speculative and volatile. As such, these
evaluations are very sensitive to the latest available public information
relating to developments concerning such securities.

Corporate Reorganizations

      Each Portfolio may invest in securities for which a tender or exchange
offer has been made or announced and in securities of companies for which a
merger, consolidation, liquidation or reorganization proposal has been announced
if, in the judgment of the Adviser, there is reasonable prospect of capital
appreciation significantly greater than the brokerage and other transaction
expenses involved. The primary risk of such investments is that if the
contemplated transaction is abandoned, revised, delayed or becomes subject to
unanticipated uncertainties, the market price of the securities may decline
below the purchase price paid by the Portfolios.

      In general, securities which are the subject of such an offer or proposal
sell at a premium to their historic market price immediately prior to the
announcement of the offer or proposal. However, the increased market price of
such securities may also discount what the stated or appraised value of the
security would be if the contemplated transaction were approved or consummated.
Such investments may be advantageous when the discount significantly overstates
the risk of the contingencies involved; significantly undervalues the
securities, assets or cash to be received by shareholders of the prospective
portfolio company as a result of the contemplated transaction; or fails
adequately to recognize the possibility that the offer or proposal may be
replaced or superseded by an offer or proposal of greater value. The evaluation
of such contingencies requires unusually broad knowledge and experience on the
part of the Adviser which must appraise not only the value of the issuer and its
component businesses as well as the assets or securities to be received as a
result of the contemplated transaction, but also the financial resources and
business motivation of the offerer as well as the dynamics of the business
climate when the offer or proposal is in process.

      In making such investments, each Portfolio will not violate any of its
diversification requirements or investment restrictions (see below, "Investment
Restrictions") including the requirement that, with respect to 75% of its total
assets, not more than 5% of its total assets may be invested in the securities
of any one issuer. Since such investments are ordinarily short term in nature,
they will increase the turnover ratio of the Portfolios thereby increasing its
brokerage and other transaction expenses. The Adviser intends to select
investments of the type described which, in its view, have a reasonable prospect
of capital appreciation which is significant in relation to both the risk
involved and the potential of available alternate investments as well as monitor
the effect of such investments on the tax qualification tests of the Code. Each
Portfolio does not intend to purchase these securities in excess of 5% of that
Portfolio's total assets.



<PAGE>


Repurchase Agreements

      Each Portfolio, except Municipal Bond Fund, may engage in repurchase
agreements with U.S. sellers as set forth in the Prospectus. A repurchase
agreement is an instrument under which the purchaser (i.e., a Portfolio)
acquires a debt security and the seller agrees, at the time of the sale, to
repurchase the obligation at a mutually agreed upon time and price, thereby
determining the yield during the purchaser's holding period. This results in a
fixed rate of return insulated from market fluctuations during such period. The
underlying securities are ordinarily U.S. Treasury or other government
obligations or high quality money market instruments. A Portfolio will require
that the value of such underlying securities, together with any other collateral
held by the Portfolio, always equals or exceeds the amount of the repurchase
obligations of the vendor. While the maturities of the underlying securities in
repurchase agreement transactions may be more than one year, the term of such
repurchase agreement will always be less than one year. A Portfolio's risk is
primarily that, if the seller defaults, the proceeds from the disposition of
underlying securities and other collateral for the seller's obligation are less
than the repurchase price. If the seller becomes bankrupt, the Portfolio might
be delayed in selling the collateral. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the "1940 Act"), repurchase agreements are considered loans.
Repurchase agreements usually are for short periods, such as one week or less,
but could be longer. The Portfolios will not enter into repurchase agreements of
a duration of more than seven days if, taken together with other illiquid
securities, more than 15% of that Portfolio's net assets would be so invested.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolios do not intend to purchase
repurchase agreements in excess of 5% of that Portfolio's net assets.

Loans of Portfolio Securities

         
To increase income, the Portfolios may lend their securities to
securities broker-dealers or financial institutions if: (1) the loan is
collateralized in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements including
collateralization continuously at no less than 100% by marking to market daily,
(2) the loan is subject to termination by a Portfolio at any time, (3) a
Portfolio receives reasonable interest or fee payments on the loan, (4) a
Portfolio is able to exercise all voting rights with respect to the loaned
securities and (5) the loan will not cause the value of all loaned securities to
exceed one-third of the value of a Portfolio's assets.

      If the borrower fails to maintain the requisite amount of collateral, the
loan automatically terminates and a Portfolio could use the collateral to
replace the securities while holding the borrower liable for any excess of
replacement cost over the value of the collateral. As with any extension of
credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and in some cases even loss of
rights in collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The
International Fund does not currently intend to lend portfolio securities in
excess of 5% of its total assets. The Core Equities Fund, Growth Opportunity
Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund do not currently intend to lend
portfolio securities.    

Privately Placed and Certain Unregistered Securities

      The Portfolios may invest in privately placed, restricted, Rule 144A or
other unregistered securities as described in the Prospectus.

      As to illiquid investments, a Portfolio is subject to a risk that should
the Portfolio decide to sell them when a ready buyer is not available at a price
the Portfolio deems representative of their value, the value of the Portfolio's
net assets could be adversely affected. Where an illiquid security must be
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") before
it may be sold, a Portfolio may be obligated to pay all or part of the
registration expenses, and a considerable period may elapse between the time of
the decision to sell and the time the Portfolio may be permitted to sell a
security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period,
adverse market conditions were to develop, a Portfolio might obtain a less
favorable price than prevailed when it decided to sell.

Short Sales

         
The Core Equities Fund will not sell securities short unless the
Portfolio (1) owns, or has a right to acquire, an equal amount of such
securities, or (2) has segregated an amount of its other assets equal to the
lesser of the market value of the securities sold short or the amount required
to acquire such securities. The segregated amount will not exceed 25% of the
Portfolio's net assets. While in a short position, the Portfolio will retain the
securities, rights, or segregated assets. Short selling may accelerate the
recognition of gains.    

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

      These transactions are made to secure what is considered to be an
advantageous price or yield for the Portfolios. Settlement dates may be a month
or more after entering into these transactions, and the market values of the
securities purchased may vary from the purchase prices. No fees or other
expenses, other than normal transaction costs, are incurred. However, liquid
assets of a Portfolio sufficient to make payment for the securities to be
purchased are segregated on a Portfolio's records at the trade date. These
assets are marked to market daily and are maintained until the transaction has
been settled.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

      Fixed Income Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities. The following
is additional information about mortgage-backed securities.

     Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs"). The following example
     illustrates how mortgage cash flows are prioritized in the case of CMOs -
     most of the CMOs in which the Fixed Income Fund invests use the same basic
     structure: (1) Several classes of securities are issued against a pool of
     mortgage collateral. A common structure may contain four classes of
     securities. The first three (A, B, and C bonds) pay interest at their
     stated rates beginning with the issue date, and the final class (Z bond)
     typically receives any excess income from the underlying investments after
     payments are made to the other classes and receives no principal or
     interest payments until the shorter maturity classes have been retired, but
     then receives all remaining principal and interest payments; (2) The cash
     flows from the underlying mortgages are applied first to pay interest and
     then to retire securities; (3) The classes of securities are retired
     sequentially. All principal payments are directed first to the
     shortest-maturity class (or A bond). When those securities are completely
     retired, all principal payments are then directed to the next
     shortest-maturity security (or B bond). This process continues until all of
     the classes have been paid off.

     Because the cash flow is distributed sequentially instead of pro rata, as
     with pass-through securities, the cash flows and average lives of CMOs are
     more predictable, and there is a period of time during which the investors
     in the longer-maturity classes receive no principal paydowns. The interest
     portion of these payments is distributed by the Portfolios as income, and
     the capital portion is reinvested.

Asset-Backed Securities

      Fixed Income Fund may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed
securities are bonds or notes backed by loans or accounts receivable originated
by banks, or other credit providers or financial institutions. Asset-Backed
Securities may be pooled and then divided into classes of securities, known as
tranches, and resold. Each tranche has a specified interest rate and maturity.
The cash flows from the underlying pool of Asset-Backed Securities are applied
first to pay interest and then to retire securities. All principal payments are
directed first to the shortest-maturity tranche. When those securities are
completely retired, all principal payments are then directed to the
next-shortest-maturity tranche. This process continues until all of the tranches
have been completely retired.

Municipal Securities

      Municipal Bond Fund invests in municipal securities. Examples of municipal
securities include, but are not limited to: tax and revenue anticipation notes
("TRANs") issued to finance working capital needs in anticipation of receiving
taxes or other revenues; tax anticipation notes ("TANs") issued to finance
working capital needs in anticipation of receiving taxes; revenue anticipation
notes ("RANs") issued to finance working capital needs in anticipation of
receiving revenues; bond anticipation notes ("BANs") that are intended to be
refinanced through a later issuances of longer-term bonds; municipal commercial
paper and other short-term notes; variable rate demand notes; municipal bonds
(including bonds having serial maturities and pre-refunded bonds) and leases;
construction loan notes insured by the Federal Housing Administration and
financed by the Federal or Government National Mortgage Associations; and
participation, trust and partnership interests in any of the foregoing
obligations. The Municipal Bond Fund's investments will consist of issues of
municipal securities representative of various areas of the U.S. and general
obligations of states, cities and school districts as well as some revenue
issues which meet the Portfolio's acceptable quality criteria.

        
     Municipal Leases. The Municipal Bond Fund may purchase municipal
     securities in the form of participation interests that represent an
     undivided proportional interest in lease payments by a governmental or
     nonprofit entity. The lease payments and other rights under the lease
     provide for and secure payments on the certificates.

     Under the criteria currently established by the Directors, the Portfolio's
     Adviser must consider the following factors in determining the liquidity of
     municipal lease securities: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the
     security; (2) the volatility of quotations and trade prices for the
     security; (3) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the
     security and the number of potential purchasers; (4) dealer undertakings to
     make a market in the security; (5) the nature of the security and the
     nature of the marketplace trades; (6) the rating of the security and the
     financial condition and prospects of the issuer of the security; (7) such
     other factors as may be relevant to the Portfolio's ability to dispose of
     the security; (8) whether the lease can be terminated by the lessee; (9)
     the potential recovery, if any, from a sale of the leased property upon
     termination of the lease; (10) the lessee's general credit strength; (11)
     the likelihood that the lessee will discontinue appropriating funding for
     the leased property because the property is no longer deemed essential to
     its operations; and (12) any credit enhancement or legal recourse provided
     upon an event of nonappropriation or other termination of the lease.    

        
     Variable Rate Municipal Securities. Variable interest rates generally
     reduce changes in the market value of Municipal Securities from their
     original purchase prices. Accordingly, as interest rates decrease or
     increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less
     for variable rate Municipal Securities than for fixed income obligations.
     Many Municipal Securities with variable interest rates purchased by the
     Portfolio are subject to repayment of principal (usually within seven days)
     on the Municipal Bond Fund's demand. For purposes of determining the
     Portfolio's average maturity, the maturities of these variable rate demand
     Municipal Securities (including participation interests) are the longer of
     the periods remaining until the next readjustment of their interest rates
     or the periods remaining until their principal amounts can be recovered by
     exercising the right to demand payment. The terms of these variable rate
     demand instruments require payment of principal and accrued interest from
     the issuer of the municipal obligations, the issuer of the participation
     interests, or a guarantor of either issuer.    

Municipal Bond Insurance

      The Municipal Bond Fund may purchase municipal securities covered by
insurance which guarantees the timely payment of principal at maturity and
interest on such securities ("Policy" or "Policies"). These insured municipal
securities are either (1) covered by an insurance policy applicable to a
particular security, whether obtained by the issuer of the security or by a
third party ("Issuer-Obtained Insurance") or (2) insured under master insurance
policies issued by municipal bond insurers, which may be purchased by the
Portfolio. The premiums for the Policies may be paid by the Portfolio and the
yield on the Portfolio's investments may be reduced thereby.

      The Portfolio may require or obtain municipal bond insurance when
purchasing municipal securities which would not otherwise meet the Portfolio's
quality standards. The Portfolio may also require or obtain municipal bond
insurance when purchasing or holding specific municipal securities, when, in the
opinion of the Portfolio's Adviser, such insurance would benefit the Portfolio
(for example, through improvement of portfolio quality or increased liquidity of
certain securities).

      Issuer-Obtained Insurance policies are noncancellable and continue in
force as long as the municipal securities are outstanding and their respective
insurers remain in business. If a municipal security is covered by
Issuer-Obtained Insurance, then such security need not be insured by the
Policies purchased by the Portfolio.

      The Portfolio may purchase two types of Policies issued by municipal bond
insurers. One type of Policy covers certain municipal securities only during the
period in which they are in the Portfolio's portfolio. In the event that a
municipal security covered by such a Policy is sold from the Portfolio, the
insurer of the relevant Policy will be liable for those payments of interest and
principal which are due and owing at the time of the sale.

      The other type of Policy covers municipal securities not only while they
remain in the Portfolio's portfolio but also until their final maturity if they
are sold out of the portfolio, so that the coverage may benefit all subsequent
holders of those municipal securities. The Portfolio will obtain insurance which
covers municipal securities until final maturity even after they are sold out of
the Portfolio's portfolio only if, in the judgment of the Adviser, the Portfolio
would receive net proceeds from the sale of those securities, after deducting
the cost of such permanent insurance and related fees, in excess of the proceeds
the Portfolio would receive if such municipal securities were sold without
insurance. Payments received from municipal bond insurers may not be tax-exempt
income to shareholders of the Portfolio.

      The Portfolio may purchase municipal securities insured by Policies from
MBIA Corp. ("MBIA"), AMBAC Indemnity Corporation ("AMBAC"), Financial Guaranty
Insurance Company ("FGIC"), or any other municipal bond insurer which is rated
AAA by S&P or Aaa by Moody's. Each Policy guarantees the payment of principal
and interest on those municipal securities it insures. The Policies will have
the same general characteristics and features. A municipal security will be
eligible for coverage if it meets certain requirements set forth in the Policy.
In the event interest or principal on an insured municipal security is not paid
when due, the insurer covering the security will be obligated under its Policy
to make such payment not later than 30 days after it has been notified by the
Portfolio that such non-payment has occurred. MBIA, AMBAC, and FGIC will not
have the right to withdraw coverage on securities insured by their Policies so
long as such securities remain in the Portfolio' portfolio, nor may MBIA, AMBAC,
or FGIC cancel their Policies for any reason except failure to pay premiums when
due.

      MBIA, AMBAC, and FGIC will reserve the right at any time upon 90 days'
written notice to the s to refuse to insure any additional municipal securities
purchased by the Portfolio after the effective date of such notice. The
Portfolio reserves the right to terminate any of the Policies if they determine
that the benefits to the Portfolio of having its portfolio insured under such
Policy are not justified by the expense involved.

      Additionally, the reserve the right to enter into contracts with insurance
carriers other than MBIA, AMBAC, or FGIC if such carriers are rated AAA by S&P
or Aaa by Moody's.

Investment Restrictions
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each Portfolio has adopted the following investment restrictions which may not
be changed without the approval of the "majority of the outstanding shares" of
that Portfolio (as defined in the Prospectus). Under such fundamental
restrictions, each Portfolio may not:

1. Purchase securities on margin or borrow money, except (a) from banks for
extraordinary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) or (b) by
engaging in reverse repurchase agreements, provided that (a) and (b) in the
aggregate do not exceed an amount equal to one-third of the value of the total
assets of a Portfolio less its liabilities (not including the amount borrowed)
at the time of the borrowing, and further provided that 300% asset coverage is
maintained at all times, and except that a deposit or payment by such Portfolio
of initial or variation margin in connection with futures contracts or related
options transactions is not considered the purchase of a security on margin.

2. Lend portfolio securities of value exceeding in the aggregate one-third of
the market value of a Portfolio's total assets less liabilities other than
obligations created by these transactions;

3. Mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any assets except that a Portfolio may pledge
not more than one-third of its total assets to secure borrowings made in
accordance with paragraph 1 above. With respect to Core Equities Fund, Growth
Opportunity Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund, initial or
variation margin for futures contracts will not be deemed to be pledges of a
Portfolio's assets.

4. Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers, except insofar as a
Portfolio may be deemed an underwriter under the 1933 Act in disposing of a
portfolio security.

5. Purchase or otherwise acquire interests in real estate, real estate mortgage
loans or interests, including limited partnership interests, in oil, gas or
other mineral exploration, leasing or development programs.

6. Purchase or acquire commodities, commodity contracts or futures except for
International Fund which may purchase and write options on foreign currencies or
enter into forward delivery contracts for foreign currencies and may also
purchase foreign index contracts, and Core Equities Fund, Growth Opportunity
Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund may enter into financial futures
contracts.

7. Issue senior securities, except insofar as the Portfolios may be deemed to
have issued a senior security in connection with any permitted borrowing.

8. With respect to Core Equities Fund, Growth Oppportunity Fund, Fixed Income
Fund and Municipal Bond Fund will not invest 25% or more of the value of its
total assets in any particular industry or groups of related industries; and
Municipal Bond Fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one
industry or in industrial development bonds or other securities, the interest on
which is paid from reverse as of similar type projects.

9. Participate on a joint, or a joint and several, basis in any securities
trading account.

      The following are investment restrictions that may be changed by a vote of
the majority of the Board of Directors. Each Portfolio will not:

1. Invest more than 15% of the market value of the Portfolios' net assets in
illiquid investments including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven
days.

2. Invest in securities of other investment companies, except (a) with respect
to International Fund, the Portfolio may purchase securities of other investment
companies which meet the investment objectives of the Portfolio and then only up
to 5% of the Portfolio's net assets, except as they may be acquired as part of a
merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets and further except as permitted
by Section 12(d) of the 1940 Act; and (b) with respect to Core Equities Fund,

its total assets will be invested in the aggregate in securities of investment

*Effective February 25, 1998, John Kevin Kenny will no longer serve as a

As of February 17, 1998, all Directors and officers as a group owned less than

As of February 25, 1998, the following shareholders of record owned more than 5%

ADVISER

The Adviser to each Portfolio is Bessemer Trust Company, N.A., a national
banking association. Pursuant to the Advisory Contract for each Portfolio, the
Adviser manages the portfolio of securities and makes decisions with respect to
the purchase and sale of investments, subject to the general control of the
Board of Directors of the Fund.

   
The Adviser also provides each Portfolio with supervisory personnel who are
responsible for supervising the performance of the Portfolios' Administrator.
The Administrator will provide personnel who will be responsible for performing
the operational components of such supervisory services and who may be employees
of the Adviser, of its affiliates or of other organizations. The Advisory
Contracts for the International Fund and for the Growth Opportunity Fund were
approved by their shareholders at meetings held on October 12, 1993 and January
31, 1997, respectively, and the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the
International Fund was approved on August 8, 1996 by the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the directors who are not "interested persons" (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund or the Adviser. The Advisory Contract for
the Growth Opportunity Fund was approved on August 8, 1996 by the Board of
Directors, including a majority of the disinterested directors. The Advisory
Contract for the Core Equities Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund
was approved on February 25, 1998 by the Board of Directors, including a
majority of the disinterested directors. The Advisory Contract for the Core
Equities Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund was approved by their
shareholders at a meeting held on February 25, 1998.    

The Advisory Contract will be continued in force for successive twelve-month
periods beginning each October 1, provided that such continuance is specifically
approved annually by a vote of a "majority of the outstanding shares" of the
Portfolio (as defined in the Prospectus) or by the Fund's Board of Directors,
and in either case by a majority of the directors who are not parties to the
Advisory Contract or interested persons of any such party, by votes cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matter.

The Advisory Contract is terminable without penalty by a Portfolio on sixty
days' written notice when authorized either by a vote of a "majority of the
outstanding shares" of the Portfolio (as defined in the Prospectus) or by a vote
of a majority of the Fund's Board of Directors, or by the Adviser on sixty days'
written notice, and will automatically terminate in the event of an "assignment"
(as defined in the 1940 Act). The Advisory Contract provides that in the absence
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the
Adviser, or of reckless disregard of its obligations thereunder, the Adviser
shall not be liable for any action or failure to act in accordance with its
duties thereunder.

Each Portfolio has, under the Advisory Contract, confirmed its obligation for
payment of all its other expenses, including without limitation: fees payable to
the Adviser, Administrator, custodian, transfer agent and dividend agent;
brokerage and commission expenses; foreign, federal, state or local taxes,
including issuance and transfer taxes incurred by or levied on it; commitment
fees, certain insurance premiums and membership fees and dues in investment
company organizations; interest charges on borrowings; telecommunications
expenses; recurring and nonrecurring legal, accounting and record-keeping
expenses; costs of organizing and maintaining the Fund's existence as a
corporation; compensation, including directors' fees, of any directors, officers
or employees who are not also officers or employees of the Adviser, the
Administrator or their affiliates and costs of other personnel providing
administrative and clerical services; costs of stockholders' services and costs
of stockholders' reports, proxy solicitations, and corporate meetings; fees and
expenses of registering its shares under the appropriate federal securities laws
and of qualifying its shares under applicable state securities laws, including
expenses attendant upon the initial registration and qualification of these
shares and attendant upon renewals of, or amendments to, those registrations and
qualifications; any other distribution or promotional expenses contemplated by
an effective plan adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act;
and expenses of preparing, printing and delivering the Prospectus to existing
shareholders and of printing shareholder application forms for shareholder
accounts. The Distributor pays the promotional and advertising expenses related
to the distribution of each Portfolio's shares and for the printing of all
Portfolio prospectuses used in connection with the distribution and sale of
Portfolio shares for which it may be reimbursed under the Plan. See
"Distribution and Service Plan." Each Portfolio also reimburses the Adviser for
all of that Portfolio's operating costs, including rent, depreciation of
equipment and facilities, interest and amortization of loans financing equipment
used by a Portfolio and all the expenses incurred to conduct that Portfolio's
affairs. The amounts of such reimbursements must be agreed upon between each
Portfolio and the Adviser. The Adviser at its discretion may voluntarily waive
all or a portion of the advisory fee and the operating expense reimbursement.

The Fund may from time to time hire its own employees or contract to have
management services performed by third parties, and the management of the Fund
intends to do so whenever it appears advantageous to the Fund. The Fund's
expenses for employees and for such services are among the expenses subject to
the expense limitation described below under "Distribution and Service Plan."

For its services under the Advisory Contract, the Adviser receives from each
Portfolio an advisory fee, computed daily and payable monthly, in accordance
with the following schedule:

The Core Equities Fund - 0.70% of the first $100 million of the Portfolio's
average net assets, 0.65% of the second $100 million of the Portfolio's average
net assets; and 0.60% of the Portfolio's average net assets exceeding $200
million;

The Growth Opportunity Fund and International Fund - 0.80% of the first $100
million of the Portfolios' average net assets, 0.75% of the second $100 million
of the Portfolios' average net assets; and 0.70% of the Portfolio's average net
assets exceeding $200 million; and

The Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund - 0.45% of the first $100 million
of the Portfolios' average net assets, 0.40% of the second $100 million of the
Portfolios' average net assets; and 0.35% of the Portfolio's average net assets
exceeding $200 million.

   
For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, the
International Fund accrued $771,294, $990,632, and $1,381,951 respectively, in
advisory fees, of which $91,974, $29,346, and $1,978, respectively, were
permanently and irrevocably waived.

For the period from February 28, 1997 (commencement of operations) to October
31, 1997, the Growth Opportunity Fund accrued $82,117 in advisory fees, of which
$82,117 was permanently and irrevocably waived.    

Any portion of the total fees received by the Adviser may be used by the Adviser
to provide distribution, shareholder and administrative services. Pursuant to
the Fund's Distribution and Service Plan, the Adviser will also act as a
shareholder servicing agent for each Portfolio pursuant to which the Portfolios
are permitted to pay the Adviser a maximum of 0.25% per annum of that
Portfolio's average daily net assets to compensate it and to permit the Adviser
to compensate banks, savings and loans and other financial institutions (the
Adviser with such other institutions, each a "Shareholder Servicing Agent")
whose clients are Fund shareholders for providing shareholder services. The
Adviser may irrevocably waive its rights to any portion of the advisory fees and
may use any portion of the advisory fee for distribution and servicing purposes
including defraying the costs of performing shareholder servicing functions on
behalf of each Portfolio, compensating others, including banks, broker-dealers
and other organizations whose customers or clients are shareholders of the
Portfolios for providing assistance in distributing each Portfolio's shares and
defraying the costs of shareholder servicing and other promotional activities.
See "Distribution and Service Plan." There can be no assurance that such fees
will be waived in the future.

ADMINISTRATOR

The Administrator for each Portfolio is Federated Administrative Services
("Federated" or the "Administrator"), which has its principal office at
Federated Investors Tower, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222-3779. The
Administrator serves as administrator of other mutual funds. In addition, the
Administrator provides persons satisfactory to the Board of Directors of the
Fund to serve as officers and directors of the Fund, as the case may be. Such
officers, as well as certain other employees and directors of the Fund, may be
directors, officers or employees of the Administrator or its affiliates.

Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement for the Portfolios, the
Administrator provides all management and administrative services reasonably
necessary for each Portfolio, other than those provided by the Adviser, subject
to the supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors. Because of the services
rendered each Portfolio by the Administrator and the Portfolios' Adviser, the
Fund itself may not require any employees other than its officers, none of whom
receive compensation from the Fund. For the services rendered to each Portfolio
by the Administrator, the Portfolios pays the Administrator a fee as described
in the prospectus.

   
For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995 and 1996, the International Fund
accrued $143,716, and $175,182, respectively, in administrative services with
the former Administrator, Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature"),
of which, $84, and $0, respectively, was permanently and irrevocably waived. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, the International Fund accrued $266,388
in administrative services with Federated, of which $40,776 was permanently and
irrevocable waived. For the period from February 28, 1997 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1997, the Growth Opportunity Fund accrued $15,397 in
administrative services with Federated, of which $2,533 was permanently and
irrevocably waived.    

Under the Administrative Services Agreement with the Portfolios, the
Administrator provides all administrative services including, without
limitation: (i) provides services of persons competent to perform such
administrative and clerical functions as are necessary to provide effective
administration of each Portfolio, including maintaining certain books and
records described in Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act (except for those records
maintained by each Portfolio's Shareholder Servicing Agents or each Portfolio's
transfer agent), and reconciling account information and balances among each
Portfolio's custodian and Adviser; (ii) oversees the performance of
administrative and professional services to each Portfolio by others, including
each Portfolio's custodian; (iii) prepares, but does not pay for, the periodic
updating of the Fund's Registration Statement, Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information in conjunction with Fund counsel, including the printing
or reproduction of such documents for the purpose of filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and state securities administrators, prepares the Fund's
tax returns, and prepares reports to the Portfolios' shareholders and the
Securities and Exchange Commission; (iv) prepares in conjunction with Fund
counsel, but does not pay for, all filings under the securities or "Blue Sky"
laws of such states or countries as are designated by the Distributor, which may
be required to register or qualify, or continue the registration or
qualification, of the Fund and/or each Portfolio's shares under such laws; (v)
prepares (but does not pay for reproduction or mailing costs) notices and
agendas for meetings of the Fund's Board of Directors and minutes of such
meetings in all matters required by the 1940 Act to be acted upon by the Board;
(vi) monitors daily and periodic compliance with respect to all requirements and
restrictions of the 1940 Act, the Code and the Prospectus; and (vii) monitors
and evaluates daily income and expense accruals, and sales and redemptions of
shares of the Portfolios. The Administrative Services Agreement is terminable at
any time after August 31, 1998, without the payment of any penalty, by a vote of
the majority of the Fund's shareholders, by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolios
or the Administrator on six month's written notice. After August 31, 1998, the
Administrative Services Agreement shall remain in effect for the same periods as
the Advisory Contract subject to annual approval by the Fund's Board of
Directors. The Administrative Services Agreement provides that in the absence of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the
Administrator, or reckless disregard of its obligations thereunder, the
Administrator shall not be liable for any action or failure to act in accordance
with its duties thereunder.

CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND AGENT

Bessemer Trust Company (New Jersey), 100 Woodbridge Center Drive, Woodbridge,
New Jersey 07095, is the Portfolios' custodian. Pursuant to a Custodian
Agreement with the Portfolios, it is responsible for maintaining the books and
records of each Portfolio's securities and cash. Subject to the supervision of
the Adviser and Administrator, the custodian maintains each Portfolio's
accounting and portfolio transaction records. Fundamental Shareholder Services,
Inc., whose principal address is 11 West 25th Street, 7th Floor, New York, NY
10010-2001, is the Portfolios' transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN

   
The Fund has adopted a distribution and service plan, pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act (the "Rule") for the Portfolios. The Rule provides that an
investment company which bears any direct or indirect expense of distributing
its shares must do so only in accordance with a plan permitted by the Rule. The
Plan provides that each Portfolio may bear certain expenses and costs which in
the aggregate are subject to a maximum of 0.40% per annum of that Portfolio's
average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Plan, the Portfolios entered into a
Distribution Agreement and a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with Edgewood
Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") and the Portfolios also entered into a
Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Adviser. For its services under its
Shareholder Servicing Agreement, the Distributor is permitted to receive
payments from each Portfolio up to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net
assets of that Portfolio to permit it to make payments to broker-dealers with
which it has written agreements and whose clients are Fund shareholders (each a
"Broker-Dealer"), for providing shareholder services. For its service under its
Shareholder Servicing Agreement, the Adviser is permitted to receive a payment
from each Portfolio equal to 0.25% per annum of that Portfolio's average daily
net assets attributable to the clients of the Adviser (and its affiliates) to
compensate it for providing shareholder services to such clients. In addition,
the Shareholder Servicing Agreement provides that the Adviser is permitted to
receive payments from each Portfolio (together with the Distributor's fee, the
"Shareholder Servicing Fee") to actually permit it to make payments made to
banks, savings and loans and other financial institutions with which it has
written agreements and whose clients are Fund shareholders (each institution, a
"Shareholder Servicing Agent") for providing shareholder services up to 0.25%
per annum of that Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to the
clients of the other Shareholder Servicing Agents. Therefore, the total of the
Shareholder Servicing Fees in the aggregate payable to the Distributor and the
Adviser will not exceed 0.25% of the total net assets of that Portfolio. For the
fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, and 1996, the International Fund accrued
$237,518 and $309,850, respectively, in shareholder servicing fees with
Signature. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, the International Fund
accrued $443,982 in shareholder servicing fees with the Distributor. For the
period from February 28, 1997 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1997,
the Growth Opportunity Fund accrued $25,670 in shareholder servicing fees with
the Distributor.    

   
Each Shareholder Servicing Agent and Broker-Dealer will, as agent for its
customers, among other things; answer customer inquiries regarding account
status and history, the manner in which purchases and redemptions of shares of
each Portfolio may be effected and certain other matters pertaining to each
Portfolio; assist shareholders in designating and changing dividend options,
account designations and addresses; provide necessary personnel and facilities
to establish and maintain shareholder accounts and records; assist in processing
purchase and redemption transactions; arrange for the wiring of funds; transmit
and receive funds in connection with customer orders to purchase or redeem
shares; verify and guarantee shareholder signatures in connection with
redemption orders and transfers and changes in shareholder designated accounts;
furnish (either separately or on an integrated basis with other reports sent to
a shareholder by a Portfolio) monthly and year-end statements and confirmations
of purchases and redemptions, as required by Rule 10b-10 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; transmit, on behalf of each Portfolio, proxy statements,
annual reports, updating the prospectus and other communications from each
Portfolio to shareholders of that Portfolio; receive, tabulate and transmit to
each Portfolio proxies executed by shareholders with respect to meeting of
shareholders of that Portfolio; and provide such other related services as each
Portfolio or a shareholder may request. As set forth herein for these services,
each Shareholder Servicing Agent and Broker-Dealer (either directly or from the
Distributor or Adviser) receives a fee, which may be paid periodically, on an
annual basis equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of that Portfolio
represented by shares owned during the period for which payment is being made by
investors with whom such Shareholder Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer maintains
a servicing relationship. Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers may
waive all or a portion of their Shareholder Servicing Fees. In addition, the
Distribution Agreement with the Distributor provides for reimbursement to the
Distributor by that Portfolio for its distribution, promotional and advertising
costs incurred in connection with the distribution of that Portfolio's shares in
an amount not to exceed 0.10% per annum of that Portfolio's average daily net
assets (the "Distribution Reimbursement"). For the fiscal years ended October
31, 1995, and 1996, the International Fund paid $7,002, and $5,739,
respectively, under the former Distribution Agreement with Signature. For the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, the International Fund paid $1,211 under the
Distribution Agreement with Edgewood Services, Inc. For the period from February
28, 1997 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1997, the Growth
Opportunity Fund made no payments under the Distribution Agreement with Edgewood
Services, Inc.    

   
Under the Distribution Agreement and Shareholder Servicing Agreement, the
Distributor, for nominal consideration and as agent for each Portfolio, will
solicit orders for the purchase of each Portfolio's shares, provided that any
subscriptions and orders will not be binding on a Portfolio until accepted by
that Portfolio as principal. The Plan, the Distribution Agreement and the
Shareholder Servicing Agreement provide that, in addition to the Shareholder
Servicing Fee and the Distribution Reimbursement, each Portfolio will pay for
(i) telecommunications expenses, including the cost of dedicated lines and CRT
terminals, incurred by the Distributor in carrying out its obligations under the
Distribution Agreement and the Shareholder Servicing Agreement, and by the
Adviser under its Shareholder Servicing Agent and (ii) preparing, printing and
delivering the Portfolios' prospectus to existing shareholders of the Portfolios
and preparing and printing subscription application forms for shareholder
accounts. The expenses enumerated in this paragraph shall not exceed an amount
equal to 0.05% per annum of that Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the
fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, and 1996, the International Fund paid
$3,740, and $3,740, respectively, for such expenses with Signature. For the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, the International Fund made no payments for
such expenses with Federated. For the period from February 28, 1997
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1997, the Growth Opportunity Fund
made no payments for such expenses with Federated.     

The Plan, the Shareholder Servicing Agreements and the Distribution Agreement
each provide that the Adviser and the Distributor may make payments from time to
time from their own resources which may include past profits for the following
purposes: to defray the costs of and to compensate others, including financial
intermediaries with whom the Distributor or Adviser has entered into written
agreements, for performing shareholder servicing and related administrative
functions on behalf of a Portfolio; to compensate certain financial
intermediaries for providing assistance in distributing a Portfolio's shares; to
pay the costs of printing and distributing the Portfolios' prospectus to
prospective investors; and to defray the cost of the preparation and printing of
brochures and other promotional materials, mailings to prospective shareholders,
advertising, and other promotional activities, including the salaries and/or
commissions of sales personnel in connection with the distribution of a
Portfolio's shares. The Distributor or the Adviser, as the case may be, in their
sole discretion, will determine the amount of such payments made pursuant to the
Plan with the Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker- Dealers they have
contracted with, provided that such payments made pursuant to the Plan will not
increase the amount which a Portfolio is required to pay to the Distributor or
the Adviser for any fiscal year under the Shareholder Servicing Agreements or
otherwise.

Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers may charge investors a fee in
connection with their use of specialized purchase and redemption procedures
offered to investors by the Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers. In
addition, Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers offering purchase and
redemption procedures similar to those offered to shareholders who invest in a
Portfolio directly may impose charges, limitations, minimums and restrictions in
addition to or different from those applicable to shareholders who invest in a
Portfolio directly. Accordingly, the net yield to investors who invest through
Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers may be less than by investing in
a Portfolio directly. An investor should read the respective Prospectus in
conjunction with the materials provided by the Shareholder Servicing Agent and
Broker-Dealer describing the procedures under which Portfolio shares may be
purchased and redeemed through the Shareholder Servicing Agent and
Broker-Dealer.

The Glass-Steagall Act limits the ability of a depository institution to become
an underwriter or distributor of securities. However, it is the Fund's position
that banks are not prohibited from acting in other capacities for investment
companies, such as providing administrative and shareholder account maintenance
services and receiving compensation from the Distributor for providing such
services. However, this is an unsettled area of the law and if a determination
contrary to the Fund's position is made by a bank regulatory agency or court
concerning shareholder servicing and administration payments to banks from the
Distributor, any such payments will be terminated and any shares registered in
the banks' names, for their underlying customers, will be re-registered in the
name of the customers at no cost to a Portfolio or its shareholders.

In accordance with the Rule, the Plan provides that all written agreements
relating to the Plan entered into by each Portfolio, the Distributor or the
Adviser, and the Shareholder Servicing Agents, Broker-Dealers, or other
organizations must be in a form satisfactory to the Fund's Board of Directors.
In addition, the Plan requires each Portfolio and the Distributor to prepare, at
least quarterly, written reports setting forth all amounts expended for
distribution purposes by each Portfolio and the Distributor pursuant to the Plan
and identifying the distribution activities for which those expenditures were
made.

   
The Plan provides that it may continue in effect for successive annual
periods provided it is approved by the shareholders or by the Board of
Directors, including a majority of directors who are not interested persons of
the Fund and who have no direct or indirect interest in the operation of the
Plan or in the agreements related to the Plan. The shareholders of the
International Fund approved the Plan at a meeting held on October 12, 1993. The
Board of Directors approved the continuation of the Plan and amended it to
include the Growth Opportunity Fund on August 8, 1996. In addition, the Board of
Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan to reflect the
Distributor, Edgewood Services, Inc., at a special meeting held on October 18,
1996. The shareholders of the International Fund approved the Plan at a meeting
held on October 12, 1993. The Board of Directors most recently approved the
continuation of the Plan and amended it to include the Core Equities Fund, Fixed
Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund at a meeting held on February 25, 1998. The
shareholders of Core Equites Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund
approved the Plan at a meeting held on February 25, 1998. The Plan further
provides that it may not be amended to increase materially the costs which may
be spent by a Portfolio for distribution pursuant to the Plan without
shareholder approval, and that other material amendments must be approved by the
directors in the manner described in the preceding sentence. The Plan may be
terminated at any time by a vote of a majority of the disinterested directors of
each Portfolio or the shareholders.    

From time to time, the Adviser and the Distributor may voluntarily assume
certain expenses of a Portfolio. This would have the effect of lowering the
overall expense ratio of that Portfolio and of increasing yield to investors in
that Portfolio.

BROKERAGE AND PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

Brokerage

The Adviser makes each Portfolio's portfolio decisions and determines the broker
to be used in each specific transaction with the objective of negotiating a
combination of the most favorable commission and the best price obtainable on
each transaction (generally defined as best execution). When consistent with the
objective of obtaining best execution, brokerage may be directed to persons or
firms supplying investment information to the Adviser or portfolio transactions
may be effected by the Adviser. Neither a Portfolio nor the Adviser has entered
into agreements or understandings with any brokers regarding the placement of
securities transactions because of research services they provide. To the extent
that such persons or firms supply investment information to the Adviser for use
in rendering investment advice to a Portfolio, such information may be supplied
at no cost to the Adviser and, therefore, may have the effect of reducing the
expenses of the Adviser in rendering advice to that Portfolio. While it is
impossible to place an actual dollar value on such investment information, its
receipt by the Adviser probably does not reduce the overall expenses of the
Adviser to any material extent. Consistent with the Rules of Fair Practice of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and subject to seeking
best execution, the Adviser may consider sales of shares of a Portfolio as a
factor in the selection of brokers to execute portfolio transactions for the
Portfolios.

   
For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, the aggregate
commissions paid from the International Fund were $325,787, $462,315, and
$678,497, respectively.

For the period from February 28, 1997 (commencement of operations) to October
31, 1997, the aggregate commissions paid from the Growth Opportunity Fund were
$187,672.    

The investment information provided to the Adviser is of the type described in
Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is designed to augment
the Adviser's own internal research and investment strategy capabilities.
Research services furnished by brokers through which each Portfolio effects
securities transactions are used by the Adviser in carrying out its investment
management responsibilities with respect to all its clients' accounts. There may
be occasions where the transaction cost charged by a broker may be greater than
that which another broker may charge if the Adviser determines in good faith
that the amount of such transaction cost is reasonable in relation to the value
of brokerage and research services provided by the executing broker. The Adviser
may consider the sale of shares of a Portfolio by brokers including the
Distributor as a factor in its selection of brokers of Portfolio transactions.

A Portfolio may deal in some instances in securities which are not listed on a
national securities exchange but are traded in the over-the-counter market. It
may also purchase listed securities through the third market. Where transactions
are executed in the over-the-counter market or third market, that Portfolio will
seek to deal with the primary market makers; but when necessary in order to
obtain best execution, it will utilize the services of others. In all cases,
each Portfolio will attempt to negotiate best execution.

Portfolio Turnover

   
Each Portfolio's average annual portfolio turnover rate, i.e., the ratio of
the lesser of sales or purchases to the monthly average value of the portfolio
(excluding from both the numerator and the denominator all securities with
maturities at the time of acquisition of one year or less) is not expected to
exceed 100%. Purchases and sales are made for each Portfolio whenever necessary
in the Adviser's opinion, to meet that Portfolio's objective. Increased
portfolio turnover (over 100%) may increase the likelihood of additional capital
gains for a Portfolio. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1996 and 1997, the
portfolio turnover rate for the International Fund was 55% and 58%,
respectively. For the period from February 28, 1997 (commencement of operations)
to October 31, 1997, the portfolio turnover rate for the Growth Opportunity Fund
was 46%.    

COUNSEL AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Legal matters for the Fund are passed upon by Battle Fowler LLP, 75 East 55th
Street, New York, New York 10022.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, Two World Financial Center, New York, New York 10281,
have been selected as independent auditors for each Portfolio.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES

The material relating to the purchase and redemption of shares in each
Prospectus is herein incorporated by reference.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

   
The authorized capital stock of the Fund, which was incorporated on August
26, 1993 in the State of Maryland, consists of twenty billion shares of stock
having a par value of one tenth of one cent ($.001) per share. The Fund's Board
of Directors is authorized to divide the unissued shares into separate series of
stock, each series representing a separate, additional investment portfolio. The
Growth Opportunity Fund was designated as a separate series of the Fund on
January 23, 1997, by the filing of Articles Supplementary in the State of
Maryland. The Core Equities Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Muncipal Bond Fund were
designated as separate series of the Fund on February 25, 1998, by the filing of
Articles Supplementary in the State of Maryland. Shares of all series will have
identical voting rights, except where, by law, certain matters must be approved
by a majority of the shares of the affected series. Each share of any series of
shares when issued has equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and voting
rights within the series for which it was issued, and each fractional share has
those rights in proportion to the percentage that the fractional share
represents of a whole share. Shares will be voted in the aggregate. There are no
conversion or preemptive rights in connection with any shares of the Fund. All
shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the offering, will be fully
paid and nonassessable. Shares are redeemable at net asset value, at the option
of the shareholder.    

Under its Articles of Incorporation, the Fund has the right to redeem for cash,
shares of stock owned by any shareholder to the extent and at such times as the
Fund's Board of Directors determines to be necessary or appropriate to prevent
an undue concentration of stock ownership which would cause the Fund to become a
"personal holding company" for federal income tax purposes. In this regard, the
Fund may also exercise its right to reject purchase orders.

The shares of each Portfolio have noncumulative voting rights, which means that
the holders of more than 50% of the shares outstanding voting for the election
of directors can elect 100% of the directors if the holders choose to do so,
and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to
elect any person or persons to the Board of Directors. The Fund will not issue
certificates evidencing Fund shares.

As a general matter, the Fund will not hold annual or other meetings of the
Fund's shareholders. This is because the By-laws of the Fund provide for annual
meetings only: (a) for the election of directors, (b) for approval of the
revised investment advisory contracts with respect to a particular class or
series of stock, (c) for approval of revisions to the Fund's distribution plan
as required by the 1940 Act with respect to a particular class or series of
stock, and (d) upon the written request of holders of shares entitled to cast
not less than 10 percent of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting.
Annual and other meetings may be required with respect to such additional
matters relating to the Fund as may be required by the 1940 Act, any
registration of the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
state, or as the Directors may consider necessary or desirable. Each Director
serves until the next meeting of the shareholders called for the purpose of
considering the election or re-election of such Director or of a successor to
such Director, and until the election and qualification of his or her successor,
elected at such a meeting, or until such Director sooner dies, resigns, retires
or is removed by the vote of the shareholders.

PERFORMANCE

The material relating to the Portfolios' performance in the Prospectus is herein
incorporated by reference. The Adviser may also include performance information
in such advertisements or information furnished to current or prospective
shareholders not only regarding the Adviser's performance since John Trott, the
International Fund's portfolio manager, joined the Adviser in 1992, but also
regarding Mr. Trott's personal investment performance since 1988 when, as chief
investment officer for Klienwort Benson International Investment LTD., he
managed investments for clients with similar objectives to those of the
International Fund. In addition, the Adviser may also include performance
information regarding the Adviser's performance since Harry Rekas, the Growth
Opportunity Fund's portfolio manager, joined the Adviser in 1996, but also
regarding Mr. Rekas' personal investment performance since 1993 when he managed
the Capital Appreciation portfolio of AIG Investment Management Corporation, a
portfolio which was focused on small and mid-capitalization equities. Also, the
Adviser may include performance information regarding the Adviser's performance
since John D. Chadwick, the Core Equities Fund's portfolio manager, Harold S.
Woolley, the Fixed Income Fund's portfolio manager and Bruce A. Whiteford, the
Municipal Bond Fund's portfolio manager joined the Adviser, but also regarding
Mr. Chadwick's personal investment performance while at Kidder Peabody & Co.,
Mr. Woolley's personal investment performance while at Equitable Investment
Management Corp., and Mr. Whiteford's personal investment performance while at
Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.

NET ASSET VALUE

For purposes of determining each Portfolio's net asset value per share, readily
marketable portfolio securities listed on an exchange are valued, except as
indicated below, at the last sale price reflected at the close of the regular
trading session of the exchange on the business day as of which such value is
being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are
valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices on such day. If no bid or
asked prices are quoted on such day, then the security is valued by such method
as the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair
market value. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities
exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such
value is being determined as reflected on the tape at the close of the exchange
representing the principal market for such securities.

Readily marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including
listed securities whose primary market is believed by the Adviser to be
over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices from
such sources as the Board of Directors deems appropriate to reflect their fair
value.

United States government obligations and other debt instruments having sixty
days or less remaining until maturity are stated at amortized cost. Debt
instruments having a greater remaining maturity will be valued at the highest
bid price obtained from a dealer maintaining an active market in that security
or on the basis of prices obtained from a pricing service approved as reliable
by the Board of Directors. All other investment assets, including restricted and
not readily marketable securities, are valued under procedures established by
and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund's Board of
Directors designed to reflect in good faith the fair value of such securities.

As indicated in the Prospectus, the net asset value per share of each
Portfolio's shares will be determined as of the close of the regular trading
session of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on each day that the NYSE is
open for trading. The NYSE annually announces the days on which it will not be
open for trading; the most recent announcement indicates that it will not be
open on the following days: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents'
Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day,
and Christmas Day. However, the NYSE may close on days not included in that
announcement.

TAX STATUS

The following is a general discussion of certain federal income tax consequences
of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of a Portfolio (the
"Shares") and holders of the Shares (the "Shareholders"). The summary is limited
to investors who hold the Shares as "capital assets" (generally, property held
for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. Shareholders
should consult their tax advisers in determining the federal, state, local and
any other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Shares.

   
Each Portfolio intends to qualify for and elect the special tax treatment
applicable to "regulated investment companies" under Sections 851-855 of the
Code. If a Portfolio qualifies as a "regulated investment company" and
distributes to Shareholders 90% or more of its investment company taxable income
(determined without regard to its net capital gain, i.e., the excess of its net
long-term capital gain over its net short-term capital loss), it will not be
subject to federal income tax on the portion of its investment company taxable
income (including any net capital gain) it distributes to Shareholders in a
timely manner. In addition, to the extent a Portfolio distributes to
Shareholders in a timely manner at least 98% of its taxable income (including
any net capital gain) it will not be subject to the 4% excise tax on certain
undistributed income of a regulated investment company. It is anticipated that
each Portfolio will not be subject to federal income tax or the excise tax.
Distribution of each Portfolio's investment company taxable income (including
any net capital gain) is expected to occur in a timely manner. Although all or a
portion of each Portfolio's taxable income (including any net capital gain) for
a calendar year may be distributed shortly after the end of the calendar year,
such a distribution will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having
been received by Shareholders during the calendar year.    

   
Each Portfolio intends to qualify as a publicly offered regulated investment
company and as such the expenses of the Portfolios will not be subject to the 2%
limitation on itemized expense deductions imposed by Section 67 of the Code.
Thus, distributions by each Portfolio will take into account all of the itemized
expenses incurred by each Portfolio and Shareholders will not be subject to the
2% limitation with respect to their shares of the expenses of each
Portfolio.    

   
Distributions to Shareholders of each Portfolio's taxable income (other than
net capital gain or exempt interest dividends of the Municipal Bond Fund) for a
year will be taxable as ordinary income to Shareholders. To the extent that
distributions to a Shareholder in any year are not taxable as ordinary income
(and are not designated as capital gains dividends or exempt interest
dividends), they will be treated as a return of capital and will reduce the
Shareholder's basis in his Shares and, to the extent that they exceed his basis,
will be treated as a gain from the sale of his Shares as discussed below. It is
anticipated that substantially all of the distributions of each Portfolio's
taxable income (other than net capital gain and other than exempt interest
dividends from the Municipal Bond Fund) will be taxable as ordinary income to
Shareholders.    

   
Distributions of each Portfolio's net capital gain (designated as capital
gain dividends by that Portfolio) will be taxable to Shareholders as long-term
capital gain, regardless of the length of time the Shares have been held by
them. A Shareholder may also recognize a taxable gain or loss if the Shareholder
sells or redeems his Shares. Any gain or loss arising from (or treated as
arising from) the sale or redemption of Shares will be a capital gain or loss,
except in the case of a dealer in securities. Capital gains realized by
corporations are generally taxed at the same rate as ordinary income. However,
capital gains are taxable at a maximum rate of 28% to non-corporate Shareholders
who have a holding period of more than 12 months, and 20% for non-corporate
Shareholders who have a holding period of more than 18 months. Corresponding
maximum rate and holding period rules apply with respect to capital gains
dividends distributed by the Portfolios, without regard to the length of time
the Shares have been held by the Shareholder. The deduction of capital losses is
subject to limitations.    

To the extent that a capital gain dividend with respect to the Shares is
afforded long-term capital gain treatment, a Shareholder who realizes a capital
loss upon the sale of such Shares that were owned for six months or less must
treat the loss as long-term. If the securities appreciate in value, purchasers
of Shares after the occurrence of such appreciation will acquire their Shares
subject to the tax obligation that may be incurred in the future when there is a
sale of such securities.

   If a Shareholder incurs a load charge in acquiring a Share and a reinvestment
right and disposes of the Share within 90 days and subsequently acquires an
interest in a regulated investment company for no load charge pursuant to such
reinvestment right, any loss recognized on the first disposition will be
disallowed to the extent of the load charge.    

   
Sections 246 and 246A of the Code contain limitations on the eligibility of
dividends for the corporate dividends-received deduction (in addition to the
limitations discussed above). Depending upon the corporate Shareholder's
circumstances (including whether its Shares are debt financed), these
limitations may be applicable to dividends received by a corporate Shareholder
from a Portfolio that would otherwise qualify for the dividends-received
deduction under the principles discussed above. A corporate Shareholder should
be aware that the receipt of dividend income for which the dividends-received
deduction is available may result in an alternative minimum tax liability
because the dividend income will be included in the corporation's "adjusted
current earnings" for purposes of the adjustment to alternative minimum taxable
income required by Section 56(g) of the Code. The federal tax status of each
year's distributions will be reported to Shareholders and to the Internal
Revenue Service. Distributions may also be subject to state and local
taxation.    

   
Dividends and interest received by Portfolios from foreign issuers will in
most cases be subject to foreign withholding taxes. If more than 50% of the
value of a Portfolio's assets consists of stock or securities of foreign
corporations, a Portfolio may qualify to make an election that will enable
Shareholders to credit foreign withholding taxes against their federal income
tax liability on distributions by that Portfolio. In order to claim a foreign
tax credit, the Shareholder must hold shares on the dividend entitlement date
and for 15 days before and/or thereafter, and the Portfolio must hold the
foreign securities on the dividend entitlement date and for 15 days before
and/or thereafter.    

   
The foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income tax status of a
Portfolio and to the tax treatment of distributions by that Portfolio to
Shareholders who are citizens or residents of the United States. Shareholders
who are not United States citizens or residents should be aware that
distributions from each Portfolio will generally be subject to a withholding tax
of 30%, or a lower treaty rate, and should consult their own tax advisers to
determine whether an investment in a Portfolio is appropriate.    

Sections 1291-1297 of the Code impose certain additional taxes and interest on
shareholders of a "passive foreign investment company," defined as a foreign
corporation 75% or more of the gross income of which is from passive investments
or at least 50% of the adjusted basis of the assets of which are assets that
produce passive income. The additional tax and interest are imposed on the
shareholders of the passive foreign investment company in the event of a
distribution of accumulated earnings or the holder's recognition of gain from
the sale of stock of the company. In the case of a "regulated investment
company" that is the shareholder, this tax and interest will be imposed on the
"regulated investment company," not on the Shareholders of the "regulated
investment company."

Entities that generally qualify for an exemption from federal income tax, such
as many pension trusts, are nevertheless taxed under Section 511 of the Code on
"unrelated business taxable income." Unrelated business taxable income is income
from a trade or business regularly carried on by the tax-exempt entity that is
unrelated to the entity's exempt purpose. Unrelated business taxable income
generally does not include dividend or interest income or gain from the sale of
investment property, unless such income is derived from property that is
debt-financed or is dealer property. A tax-exempt entity's dividend income from
a Portfolio and gain from the sale of Shares in that Portfolio or that
Portfolio's sale of securities is not expected to constitute unrelated business
taxable income to such tax-exempt entity unless the acquisition of the Shares
itself is debt-financed or constitutes dealer property in the hands of the
tax-exempt entity.

Before investing in each Portfolio, the trustee or investment manager of an
employee benefit plan (e.g., a pension or profit sharing retirement plan) should
consider among other things (a) whether the investment is prudent under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), taking into account
the needs of the plan and all of the facts and circumstances of the investment
in a Portfolio; (b) whether the investment satisfies the diversification
requirement of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA; and (c) whether the assets of a
Portfolio are deemed "plan assets" under ERISA and the Department of Labor
regulations regarding the definition of "plan assets."

Prospective tax-exempt investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers
prior to investing in a Portfolio.

Tax-Equivalent Yield (Municipal Bond Fund only)

The tax-equivalent yield of the Municipal Bond Fund is calculated similarly to
the yield, but is adjusted to reflect the taxable yield that this Portfolio
would have had to earn to equal its actual yield, assuming a 39.6% tax rate (the
maximum marginal federal rate for individuals) and assuming that income is 100%
tax-exempt.



<PAGE>


Tax-Equivalency Table

The Municipal Bond Fund may also use a tax-equivalency table in advertising and
sales literature. The interest earned by the municipal bonds in the Portfolio's
portfolio generally remains free from federal income tax* and is often free from
state and local taxes as well. As the table on the next page indicates, a
"tax-free" investment is an attractive choice for investors, particularly in
times of narrow spreads between tax-free and taxable yields.

Financial Statements

DESCRIPTION OF CORPORATE DEBT RATINGS

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.
Aaa: Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt
edged." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable
margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely
to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the
fundamentally strong position of such issues. Aa: Bonds which are rated Aa are
judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group, they
comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than
the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa
securities or fluctuations of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or
there may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear
somewhat larger than in Aaa securities. A: Bonds which are rated A possess many
favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade
obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered
adequate, but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to
impairment sometime in the future. Baa: Bonds which are rated Baa are considered
as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly
secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the
present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack
outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have speculative
characteristics as well. Ba: Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have
speculative elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often
the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future.
Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class. B: Bonds which are
rated B generally lack characteristics of a desirable investment. Assurance of
interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract
over any long period of time may be small. Caa: Bonds which are rated Caa are of
poor standing. Such issues may be in default or there may be present elements of
danger with respect to principal or interest. Ca: Bonds which are rated Ca
represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are
often in default or have other marked shortcomings. C: Bonds which are rated C
are the lowest rated class of bonds, and issues so rated can be regarded as
having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.
Unrated: Where no rating has been assigned or where a rating has been suspended
or withdrawn, it may be for reasons unrelated to the quality of the issue.
Should no rating be assigned, the reason may be one of the following: 1. An
application for rating was not received or accepted. 2. The issue or issuer
belongs to a group of securities that are not rated as a matter of policy. 3.
There is a lack of essential data pertaining to the issue or issuer. 4. The
issue was privately placed, in which case the rating is not published in Moody's
Investors Service, Inc.'s publications. Suspension or withdrawal may occur if
new and material circumstances arise, the effects of which preclude satisfactory
analysis; if there is no longer available reasonable up-to-date data to permit a
judgment to be formed; if a bond is called for redemption; or for other reasons.
Note: Those bonds in the Aa, A, Baa, Ba and B groups which Moody's believes
possess the strongest investment attributes are designated by the symbols Aa-1,
A-1, Baa-1 and B-1. STANDARD & POOR'S AAA: Bonds rated AAA have the highest
rating assigned by Standard & Poor's ("S&P"). Capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong. AA: Bonds rated AA have a very strong capacity to
pay interest and repay principal and differ from the higher rated issues only in
small degree. A: Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than bonds in the highest rated
categories. BBB: Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to
pay interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are
more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal
for bonds in this category than in higher rated categories. BB, B, CCC, CC, C:
Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C are regarded, on balance, as predominantly
speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in
accordance with the terms of this obligation. BB indicates the lowest degree of
speculation and C the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will
likely have some quality and protective characteristics, they are outweighed by
large uncertainties of major risk exposures to adverse conditions. C1: The
rating C1 is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being paid. D:
Bonds rated D are in default, and payment of interest and/or repayment of
principal is in arrears. Plus (+) or Minus (-): The ratings from "AA" to "CCC"
may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative
standing within the major rating categories. NR: Indicates that no rating has
been requested, that there is insufficient information on which to base a
rating, or that S&P does not rate a particular type of obligation as a matter of
policy.

   
FITCH IBCA, INC., LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS
AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality.
The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay
principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although
not quite as strong as bonds rated.

AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA categories are not significantly
vulnerable to foreseeable future developments, short-term debt of these issuers
is generally rated F-1+.

A--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditionsand
circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality.
The obligator's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are
more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds, and, therefore, impair timely
payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below
investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

BB--Bonds are considered speculative. The obligor's ability to pay interest and
repay principal may be affected over time by adverse economic changes. However,
business and financial alternatives can be identified which couldassist the
obligor in satisfying its debt service requirements.

B--Bonds are considered highly speculative. While bonds in this class are
currently meeting debt service requirements, the probability of continued timely
payment of principal and interest reflects the limited margin of safety and the
need for reasonable business and economic activity throughout the life of the
issue.

CCC--Bonds have certain identifiable characteristics which, if not remedied, may
lead to default. The ability to meet obligations requires an advantageous
business and economic environment.

CC--Bonds are minimally protected. Default in payment of interest and/or
principal seems probable over time.

C--Bonds are in imminent default in payment of interest or principal.

DDD, DD, and D--Bonds are in default on interest and/or principal payments. Such
bonds are extremely speculative and should be valued on the basis of their
ultimate recovery value in liquidation or reorganization of the obligor. DDD
represents the highest potential for recovery on these bonds, and D represents
the lowest potential for recovery.

Gentlemen:

      We herewith confirm our agreement with you as follows:

      1. We propose to engage in the business of investing and reinvesting our
assets in securities of the type, and in accordance with the limitations,
specified in our Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and Registration Statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act') and the Securities Act of 1933, including the
Prospectus forming a part thereof (the "Registration Statement"), all as from
time to time in effect, and in such manner and to such extent as may from time
to time be authorized by our Board of Directors. We enclose copies of the
documents listed above and will furnish you such amendments thereto as may be
made from time to time.

      2. (a) We hereby employ you to manage the investment and reinvestment of
our assets as above specified, and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to provide the management and other services specified below.

            (b) Subject to the general control of our Board of Directors, you
will make decisions with respect to all purchases and sales of our portfolio
securities. To carry out such decisions, you are hereby authorized, as our agent
and attorney-in-fact, for our account and at our risk and in our name, to place
orders for the investment and reinvestment of our assets. In all purchases,
sales and other transactions in our portfolio securities you are authorized to
exercise full discretion and act for us in the same manner and with the same
force and effect as our corporation itself might or could do with respect to
such purchases, sales or other transactions, as well as with respect to all
other things necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of such
purchases, sales or other transactions. In furtherance of such and subject to
applicable law and procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Directors, you may
(i) pay commissions to brokers other than yourself which are higher than such
that might be charged by another qualified broker to obtain brokerage and/or
research services considered by you to be useful or desirable for your
investment management of the Portfolio and/or other advisory accounts of yours
and any investment advisor affiliated with you: and (ii) consider the sales of
shares of the Portfolio by brokers including your affiliates as a factor in your
selection of brokers for Portfolio transactions.

            (c) You will report to our Board of Directors at each meeting
thereof all changes in our portfolio since your prior report, and will also keep
us in touch with important developments affecting our portfolio and, on your own
initiative, will furnish us from time to time with such information as you may
believe appropriate for this purpose, whether concerning the individual entities
whose securities are included in our portfolio, the activities in which such
entities engage, Federal income tax policies applicable to our investments, or
the conditions prevailing in the money market or the economy generally. You will
also furnish us with such statistical and analytical information with respect to
our portfolio securities as you may believe appropriate or as we may reasonably
request. In making such purchases and sales of our portfolio securities, you
will comply with the policies set from time to time by our Board of Directors as
well as the limitations imposed by our Amended Articles of Incorporation, the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to regulated investment
companies and the 1940 Act, and the limitations contained in the Registration
Statement.

            (d) It is understood that you will from time to time employ,
subcontract with or otherwise associate yourself with, entirely at your expense
such persons as you believe to be particularly fitted to assist you in the
execution of your duties hereunder.

            (e) You or your affiliates will also provide supervisory personnel
who will be responsible for supervising and monitoring the performance of our
Administrator in connection with its duties under our Administrative Services
Agreement and for supervising the performance of other administrative services,
accounting and related services, net asset value and yield calculations, reports
to and filings with regulatory authorities, and services relating to such
functions. Such personnel may be your employees or employees of your affiliates
or of other organizations. It is understood that we have retained, at our
expense, an Administrator to perform the operational components of the functions
and services listed herein.

            (f) You or your affiliates will also furnish us such additional
administrative supervision and such office facilities as you may believe
appropriate or as we may reasonably request subject to the requirements of any
regulatory authority to which you may be subject. We will reimburse you for all
of our operating costs incurred by you, including rent, depreciation of
equipment and facilities, interest and amortization of loans financing equipment
used by us and all the expenses incurred to conduct our affairs. The amounts of
such reimbursements shall from time to time be agreed upon between us.

      3. We agree, subject to the limitations described below, to be responsible
for, and hereby assume the obligation for payment of, all our expenses
including: (a) brokerage and commission expenses; (b) foreign, federal, state or
local taxes, including issuance and transfer taxes incurred by or levied on us;
(c) commitment fees, certain insurance premiums and membership fees and dues in
investment company organizations; (d) interest charges on borrowings; (e)
charges and expenses of our custodian; (f) charges and expenses relating to the
issuance, redemption, transfer and dividend disbursing functions for us; (g)
telecommunications expenses; (h) recurring and non-recurring legal, accounting
and recordkeeping expenses; (i) costs of organizing and maintaining the Fund's
existence as a corporation; (j) compensation, including directors' fees, of any
of our directors, officers or employees who are not your officers or officers
employees of the Administrator or their affiliates, and costs of other personnel
providing administrative and clerical service to us; (k) costs of providing
shareholders' services, including charges and expenses of persons providing
confirmations of transactions in the Portfolio's shares, periodic statements to
shareholders and recordkeeping services, and costs of shareholders' reports,
proxy solicitations, and corporate meetings; (l) fees and expenses of
registering our shares under the appropriate federal securities laws and of
qualifying our shares under applicable state securities laws, including expenses
attendant upon the initial registration and qualification of these shares and
attendant upon renewals of, or amendment to, those registrations and
qualifications; (m) expenses of preparing, printing and delivering the initial
registration statement and of preparing, printing and delivering the Prospectus
to existing shareholders and of printing shareholder application forms for
shareholder accounts; (n) fees and expenses payable to the Advisor, Distributor,
Administrator, custodian, transfer agent and dividend agent; and (o) any other
distribution or promotional expenses contemplated by an effective plan adopted
by us pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Our obligation for the foregoing
expenses is limited by your agreement to be responsible, while this Agreement is
in effect, for any amount by which our annual operating expenses, including
distribution expenses, (excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and extraordinary
expenses) exceed the limits on investment company expenses prescribed by any
state in which the Portfolio's shares are qualified for sale.

      4. We will expect of you, and you will give us the benefit of, your best
judgment and efforts in rendering these services to us, and we agree as an
inducement to your undertaking these services that you will not be liable
hereunder for any mistake of judgment or for any other cause, provided that
nothing herein shall protect you against any liability to us or to our security
holders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of your duties hereunder, or by reason of your reckless disregard of
your obligations and duties hereunder.

      5. (a) In consideration of the foregoing we will pay you a fee computed
daily and payable monthly, in accordance with the following schedule: .70% of
the first $100 million of the Portfolio's average net assets; .65% of the second
$100 million of the Portfolio's average net assets; and .60% of the Portfolio's
average net assets exceeding $200 million. Your fee will be accrued by us daily,
and will be payable on the last day of each calendar month for services
performed hereunder during that month or on such other schedule as you shall
request of us in writing. You may waive your right to any fee to which you are
entitled hereunder, provided such waiver is delivered to us in writing. Any
reimbursement of our expenses, to which we may become entitled pursuant to
paragraph 3 hereof, will be paid to us at the end of the month for which those
expenses are accrued, at the same time as we pay your fee.

            (b) Pursuant to the Portfolio's Distribution and Service Plan, the
Advisor will also act as a shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio
pursuant to which the Portfolio is permitted to pay the Advisor a maximum of
 .25% per annum of the Portfolio's average daily net assets to compensate it and
to permit the Advisor to compensate banks, savings and loans and other financial
institutions (the Advisor with such other institutions, each a "Shareholder
Servicing Agent") whose clients are Portfolio shareholders for providing
shareholder services. In addition, the Advisor may use the advisory fee for
distribution and servicing functions on behalf of the Portfolio, compensating
others, including banks, broker-dealers and other organizations whose customers
or clients are shareholders of the Portfolio for providing assistance in
distributing the Portfolio's shares and defraying the cost of shareholder
servicing and other promotional activities. To the extent that you or your
affiliates directly may make payments to banks, securities dealers and other
third parties who engage in the sale of our shares or who render shareholder
support services, and that such payments may be deemed indirect financing of an
activity primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Portfolio
within the context of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Rule"), then such
payments by you shall be deemed to be authorized under the Portfolio's
Distribution and Service Plan adopted pursuant to the Rule. You, will, in your
sole discretion, determine the amount of such payments and may from time to time
in your sole discretion increase or decrease the amount the Portfolio is
required to pay you or any person under this Agreement or any agreement. Any
payments made by you for such purposes are subject to compliance with the terms
of written agreements in a form satisfactory to the Fund's Board of Directors to
be entered into by you and the participating organization.

      6. This Agreement will become effective on November 13, 1997 and shall
continue in effect until November 13, 1999 and thereafter for successive
twelve-month periods (computed from each November 1), provided that such
continuation is specifically approved at least annually by our Board of
Directors or by a majority vote of the holders of our outstanding voting
securities, as defined in the 1940 Act, and, in either case, by a majority of
those of our directors who are neither party to this Agreement nor, other than
by their service as directors of the corporation, interested persons, as defined
in the 1940 Act, of any such person who is party to this Agreement. Upon
effectiveness of this Agreement, it shall supersede all previous Agreements
between us covering the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be terminated
at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of our
outstanding voting securities as defined in the 1940 Act, or by a vote of
majority of our entire Board of Directors, on sixty days' written notice to you,
or by you on sixty days' written notice to us.

      7. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, sold or in any manner
hypothecated or pledged by you and this Agreement shall terminate automatically
in the event of any such transfer, assignment, sale, hypothecation or pledge by
you. The terms "transfer", "assignment" and "sale" as used in this paragraph
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto by governing law and in applicable
rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      8. Except to the extent necessary to perform your obligations hereunder,
nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict your right, or the right of
any of your officers, directors or employees who may also be a director, officer
or employee of ours, or a person affiliated with us, as defined in the Act, to
engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management
or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar
nature, or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, firm,
individual or association.

      If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, you will kindly
so indicate by signing and returning to us the enclosed copy hereof.

                                    Very truly yours,

Gentlemen:

      We herewith confirm our agreement with you as follows:

      1. We propose to engage in the business of investing and reinvesting our
assets in securities of the type, and in accordance with the limitations,
specified in our Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and Registration Statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act') and the Securities Act of 1933, including the
Prospectus forming a part thereof (the "Registration Statement"), all as from
time to time in effect, and in such manner and to such extent as may from time
to time be authorized by our Board of Directors. We enclose copies of the
documents listed above and will furnish you such amendments thereto as may be
made from time to time.

      2. (a) We hereby employ you to manage the investment and reinvestment of
our assets as above specified, and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to provide the management and other services specified below.

            (b) Subject to the general control of our Board of Directors, you
will make decisions with respect to all purchases and sales of our portfolio
securities. To carry out such decisions, you are hereby authorized, as our agent
and attorney-in-fact, for our account and at our risk and in our name, to place
orders for the investment and reinvestment of our assets. In all purchases,
sales and other transactions in our portfolio securities you are authorized to
exercise full discretion and act for us in the same manner and with the same
force and effect as our corporation itself might or could do with respect to
such purchases, sales or other transactions, as well as with respect to all
other things necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of such
purchases, sales or other transactions. In furtherance of such and subject to
applicable law and procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Directors, you may
(i) pay commissions to brokers other than yourself which are higher than such
that might be charged by another qualified broker to obtain brokerage and/or
research services considered by you to be useful or desirable for your
investment management of the Portfolio and/or other advisory accounts of yours
and any investment advisor affiliated with you: and (ii) consider the sales of
shares of the Portfolio by brokers including your affiliates as a factor in your
selection of brokers for Portfolio transactions.

            (c) You will report to our Board of Directors at each meeting
thereof all changes in our portfolio since your prior report, and will also keep
us in touch with important developments affecting our portfolio and, on your own
initiative, will furnish us from time to time with such information as you may
believe appropriate for this purpose, whether concerning the individual entities
whose securities are included in our portfolio, the activities in which such
entities engage, Federal income tax policies applicable to our investments, or
the conditions prevailing in the money market or the economy generally. You will
also furnish us with such statistical and analytical information with respect to
our portfolio securities as you may believe appropriate or as we may reasonably
request. In making such purchases and sales of our portfolio securities, you
will comply with the policies set from time to time by our Board of Directors as
well as the limitations imposed by our Amended Articles of Incorporation, the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to regulated investment
companies and the 1940 Act, and the limitations contained in the Registration
Statement.

            (d) It is understood that you will from time to time employ,
subcontract with or otherwise associate yourself with, entirely at your expense
such persons as you believe to be particularly fitted to assist you in the
execution of your duties hereunder.

            (e) You or your affiliates will also provide supervisory personnel
who will be responsible for supervising and monitoring the performance of our
Administrator in connection with its duties under our Administrative Services
Agreement and for supervising the performance of other administrative services,
accounting and related services, net asset value and yield calculations, reports
to and filings with regulatory authorities, and services relating to such
functions. Such personnel may be your employees or employees of your affiliates
or of other organizations. It is understood that we have retained, at our
expense, an Administrator to perform the operational components of the functions
and services listed herein.

            (f) You or your affiliates will also furnish us such additional
administrative supervision and such office facilities as you may believe
appropriate or as we may reasonably request subject to the requirements of any
regulatory authority to which you may be subject. We will reimburse you for all
of our operating costs incurred by you, including rent, depreciation of
equipment and facilities, interest and amortization of loans financing equipment
used by us and all the expenses incurred to conduct our affairs. The amounts of
such reimbursements shall from time to time be agreed upon between us.

      3. We agree, subject to the limitations described below, to be responsible
for, and hereby assume the obligation for payment of, all our expenses
including: (a) brokerage and commission expenses; (b) foreign, federal, state or
local taxes, including issuance and transfer taxes incurred by or levied on us;
(c) commitment fees, certain insurance premiums and membership fees and dues in
investment company organizations; (d) interest charges on borrowings; (e)
charges and expenses of our custodian; (f) charges and expenses relating to the
issuance, redemption, transfer and dividend disbursing functions for us; (g)
telecommunications expenses; (h) recurring and non-recurring legal, accounting
and recordkeeping expenses; (i) costs of organizing and maintaining the Fund's
existence as a corporation; (j) compensation, including directors' fees, of any
of our directors, officers or employees who are not your officers or officers
employees of the Administrator or their affiliates, and costs of other personnel
providing administrative and clerical service to us; (k) costs of providing
shareholders' services, including charges and expenses of persons providing
confirmations of transactions in the Portfolio's shares, periodic statements to
shareholders and recordkeeping services, and costs of shareholders' reports,
proxy solicitations, and corporate meetings; (l) fees and expenses of
registering our shares under the appropriate federal securities laws and of
qualifying our shares under applicable state securities laws, including expenses
attendant upon the initial registration and qualification of these shares and
attendant upon renewals of, or amendment to, those registrations and
qualifications; (m) expenses of preparing, printing and delivering the initial
registration statement and of preparing, printing and delivering the Prospectus
to existing shareholders and of printing shareholder application forms for
shareholder accounts; (n) fees and expenses payable to the Advisor, Distributor,
Administrator, custodian, transfer agent and dividend agent; and (o) any other
distribution or promotional expenses contemplated by an effective plan adopted
by us pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Our obligation for the foregoing
expenses is limited by your agreement to be responsible, while this Agreement is
in effect, for any amount by which our annual operating expenses, including
distribution expenses, (excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and extraordinary
expenses) exceed the limits on investment company expenses prescribed by any
state in which the Portfolio's shares are qualified for sale.

      4. We will expect of you, and you will give us the benefit of, your best
judgment and efforts in rendering these services to us, and we agree as an
inducement to your undertaking these services that you will not be liable
hereunder for any mistake of judgment or for any other cause, provided that
nothing herein shall protect you against any liability to us or to our security
holders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of your duties hereunder, or by reason of your reckless disregard of
your obligations and duties hereunder.

      5. (a) In consideration of the foregoing we will pay you a fee computed
daily and payable monthly, in accordance with the following schedule: .45% of
the first $100 million of the Portfolio's average net assets; .40% of the second
$100 million of the Portfolio's average net assets; and .35% of the Portfolio's
average net assets exceeding $200 million. Your fee will be accrued by us daily,
and will be payable on the last day of each calendar month for services
performed hereunder during that month or on such other schedule as you shall
request of us in writing. You may waive your right to any fee to which you are
entitled hereunder, provided such waiver is delivered to us in writing. Any
reimbursement of our expenses, to which we may become entitled pursuant to
paragraph 3 hereof, will be paid to us at the end of the month for which those
expenses are accrued, at the same time as we pay your fee.

            (b) Pursuant to the Portfolio's Distribution and Service Plan, the
Advisor will also act as a shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio
pursuant to which the Portfolio is permitted to pay the Advisor a maximum of
 .25% per annum of the Portfolio's average daily net assets to compensate it and
to permit the Advisor to compensate banks, savings and loans and other financial
institutions (the Advisor with such other institutions, each a "Shareholder
Servicing Agent") whose clients are Portfolio shareholders for providing
shareholder services. In addition, the Advisor may use the advisory fee for
distribution and servicing functions on behalf of the Portfolio, compensating
others, including banks, broker-dealers and other organizations whose customers
or clients are shareholders of the Portfolio for providing assistance in
distributing the Portfolio's shares and defraying the cost of shareholder
servicing and other promotional activities. To the extent that you or your
affiliates directly may make payments to banks, securities dealers and other
third parties who engage in the sale of our shares or who render shareholder
support services, and that such payments may be deemed indirect financing of an
activity primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Portfolio
within the context of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Rule"), then such
payments by you shall be deemed to be authorized under the Portfolio's
Distribution and Service Plan adopted pursuant to the Rule. You, will, in your
sole discretion, determine the amount of such payments and may from time to time
in your sole discretion increase or decrease the amount the Portfolio is
required to pay you or any person under this Agreement or any agreement. Any
payments made by you for such purposes are subject to compliance with the terms
of written agreements in a form satisfactory to the Fund's Board of Directors to
be entered into by you and the participating organization.

      6. This Agreement will become effective on November 13, 1997, and shall
continue in effect until November 13, 1999 and thereafter for successive
twelve-month periods (computed from each November 1), provided that such
continuation is specifically approved at least annually by our Board of
Directors or by a majority vote of the holders of our outstanding voting
securities, as defined in the 1940 Act, and, in either case, by a majority of
those of our directors who are neither party to this Agreement nor, other than
by their service as directors of the corporation, interested persons, as defined
in the 1940 Act, of any such person who is party to this Agreement. Upon
effectiveness of this Agreement, it shall supersede all previous Agreements
between us covering the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be terminated
at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of our
outstanding voting securities as defined in the 1940 Act, or by a vote of
majority of our entire Board of Directors, on sixty days' written notice to you,
or by you on sixty days' written notice to us.

      7. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, sold or in any manner
hypothecated or pledged by you and this Agreement shall terminate automatically
in the event of any such transfer, assignment, sale, hypothecation or pledge by
you. The terms "transfer", "assignment" and "sale" as used in this paragraph
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto by governing law and in applicable
rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      8. Except to the extent necessary to perform your obligations hereunder,
nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict your right, or the right of
any of your officers, directors or employees who may also be a director, officer
or employee of ours, or a person affiliated with us, as defined in the Act, to
engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management
or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar
nature, or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, firm,
individual or association.

      If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, you will kindly
so indicate by signing and returning to us the enclosed copy hereof.

                                    Very truly yours,
