<PAGE>
The management and custodial services provided to the Fund by IFG and
the Fund's custodian, and the services provided to shareholders by IDI and
IFG, depend on the continued functioning of their computer systems. Many
computer systems in use today cannot recognize the year 2000, but will
revert to 1900 or 1980 or will cease to function due to the manner in which
dates were encoded and are calculated. That failure could have a negative
impact on the handling of the Fund's securities trades, its share pricing
and its account services. The Fund and its service provider have been
actively working on necessary changes to their computer systems to deal
with the year 2000 and expect that their systems will be adapted before
that date, but there can be no assurance that they will be successful.
Furthermore, services may be impaired at that time as a result of the
interaction of their systems with others' non-complying computer systems.
The section of the above Portfolio's Prospectus entitled "Management" is amended
to (1) delete the third sentence of the eighth paragraph, and (2) substitute the
following sentence in its place:

more than 1.05% of the Fund's average net assets effective July 6, 1998.
