THE FOLLOWING REVISES THE DESCRIPTION OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO
EACH FUND EXCEPT EUROPEAN EQUITY GROWTH FUND:
The investment adviser to each Fund, Morgan Grenfell Investment Services
Limited, changed its name to Deutsche Asset Management Investment Services
Limited effective October 6, 1999. All other information disclosed in the
prospectus concerning the investment adviser remains the same.
THE FOLLOWING REVISES THE DESCRIPTION OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO
EUROPEAN EQUITY GROWTH FUND:
On December 2, 1999, a majority of the shareholders of the European Equity
Growth Fund approved a change of the Fund's investment adviser from Deutsche
Asset Management Investment Services Limited ("DAMISL") (formerly, Morgan
Grenfell Investment Services Limited) to Deutsche Asset Management, Inc.
("DAMI") (formerly Morgan Grenfell Inc.). This change is expected to become
effective on or about December 23, 1999. DAMI, located at 885 Third Avenue, New
York, New York, provides a full range of investment advisory services to
institutional clients. DAMI serves as investment adviser to 11 other investment
companies and as sub-adviser to five other investment companies. DAMI is an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank A.G., an international
commercial and investment banking group. The terms of the advisory contract
with DAMI, including fees, are substantially similar to the terms of the
management contract with DAMISL.
THE FOLLOWING REVISES THE "INVESTMENT ADVISER - PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT" SECTION
WITH RESPECT TO EUROPEAN EQUITY GROWTH FUND:
Michael Levy will serve as the Fund's lead portfolio manager and will have
primary responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio.
Mr. Levy is a Vice
<PAGE>
President of DAMI and Managing Director of Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers
Trust"), an advisory affiliate of DAMI, and co-lead manager of International
Equity Portfolio, which invests a substantial portion of its assets in European
equities. Mr. Levy joined Bankers Trust in 1993 and is the firm's international
equity strategist, overseeing the design and implementation of the firm's
proprietary international stock selection process.
Caroline Altmann will serve as co-portfolio manager of the Fund. Ms. Altmann is
a Vice President of DAMI and Director of Bankers Trust and an analyst
specializing in Europe, Japan and the financial services industry. Ms. Altmann
joined DAMI and Bankers Trust in 1999. Ms. Altmann was a portfolio manager with
Clay Finlay, Inc. from 1986 to 1999.
Clare Brody will serve as co-portfolio manager of the Fund. Ms. Brody is a Vice
President of DAMI and Bankers Trust and portfolio manager for International
Collective Investment Fund. Ms. Brody joined Bankers Trust in 1993 and
specializes in European markets.
Matthias Knerr will serve as co-portfolio manager of the Fund. Mr. Knerr is a
Vice President of DAMI and an Assistant Vice President of Bankers Trust. Mr.
Knerr joined Bankers Trust in 1995 and is a portfolio manager specializing in
European markets.
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO EUROPEAN EQUITY GROWTH FUND:
On December 2, 1999, a majority of the shareholders of the European Equity
Growth Fund approved a new investment policy that would allow the Fund to invest
all of its investable assets in a master portfolio having substantially the same
investment objective, policies and restrictions as the Fund. This structure is
commonly referred to as "master-feeder." It is currently anticipated that the
Fund would convert to a master-feeder structure during the first half of the
year 2000. Under the master-feeder structure, the master portfolio would be
advised by DAMI. A master portfolio may accept investments from other feeder
funds. A feeder bears the master portfolio's expenses in proportion to its
percentage ownership of the master portfolio. Each feeder can set its own
transaction minimums, fund-specific expenses, and other conditions. This
arrangement allows the Fund's Trustees to withdraw the Fund's assets from the
master portfolio if they believe doing so is in the Fund shareholders' best
interests. If the Trustees withdraw the Fund's assets, they would then consider
whether the Fund should hire its own investment adviser, invest in a different
master portfolio or take other action.
