* Each investment adviser has agreed to waive all investment advisory fees.
While no Portfolio pays any fee to its investment adviser, each institutional
investor enters into an asset management services agreement with U.S. Trust
Pacific and agrees to pay annual fees calculated as a specified percentage of
average net assets. In addition, Shareholder Organizations may charge their
customers account fees for investment and other cash management services. See
"How

to Purchase, Exchange and Redeem Shares" below. Accordingly, the examples do not
reflect an amount for fees paid directly to U.S. Trust Pacific by an
institutional investor or its customers.

of the Portfolio Series and voluntary fee waivers and expense reimbursements by
agents of the Trust. If the voluntary waivers and expense reimbursements had not
been in place, the ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net
assets for the period July 8, 1994 to November 30, 1994 would have been as
follows:

Note A: The amount shown for the Equity Index Fund for a share outstanding

institutional investor enters into an asset management

services agreement with U.S. Trust Pacific and agrees to pay annual fees
calculated as a specified percentage of average net assets."
5. The following two sentences are added at the end of the fourth paragraph on
page 41 of the Prospectus: "U.S. Trust has agreed to waive all investment
advisory fees under the Advisory Agreement. While no such Portfolio pays
investment advisory fees to U.S. Trust, each institutional investor enters into
an asset management services agreement with U.S. Trust Pacific and agrees to pay
annual fees calculated as a specified percentage of average net assets."
6. Cyril Theccanat is the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Portfolios corresponding to the Bond Index, Equity Index and
Small Cap Funds. Reference to Philip DiDio as manager of the Portfolios
corresponding to the Equity Index and Small Cap Funds is deleted from the first
paragraph on page 41 of the Prospectus.
7. The words ", if any," are added after the words "advisory fees" in the last
line of the second paragraph on page 44.

Fund's net investment income are declared and paid at least once a year. The
reference to quarterly dividend payments with respect to the International
Equity Fund is deleted from the first full paragraph on page 45 of the
Prospectus.
9. The second to the last sentence of the third full paragraph at page 47 of the
Prospectus is restated in its entirety as follows: "Any fees charged by

EXCELSIOR INSTITUTIONAL TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Excelsior Institutional Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a business
trust under the laws of the State of Delaware, with the Funds established as
separate series of the Trust, on April 27, 1994. The Trust is comprised of
twelve funds, six of which are active and described herein (each a "Fund";
collectively, the "Funds"), as follows: Excelsior Institutional Equity Index
Fund ("Equity Index Fund"), Excelsior Institutional Bond Index Fund ("Bond Index
Fund"), Excelsior Institutional Small Capitalization Fund ("Small Cap Fund"),
Excelsior Institutional Balanced Fund ("Balanced Fund"), Excelsior Institutional
Equity Growth Fund ("Equity Growth Fund") and Excelsior Institutional Value
Equity Income Fund ("Value Equity Income Fund"). The Trust had no operations
until July 8, 1994 (when operations commenced) other than matters relating to
its organization and registration as an open-end diversified management
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") and the
Securities Act of 1933 and the sale and issuance of 2,380.953 shares of
beneficial interest ("Initial Shares") of each Fund to UST Distributors, Inc.,
the Trust's distributor.
The Trust seeks to achieve each Fund's investment objective by investing all
of that Fund's investable assets in a corresponding portfolio or series (each a
"Portfolio"; collectively, the "Portfolios") of St. James Portfolios, an
open-end diversified management investment company for which United States Trust
Company of the Pacific Northwest ("U.S. Trust Pacific") serves as investment
advisor. Each Fund has the same investment objective and policies as its
corresponding Portfolio. The value of a Fund's investment reflects its
proportionate beneficial interest in the net assets of its corresponding
Portfolio and is as follows at November 30, 1994:
<TABLE>

EXCELSIOR INSTITUTIONAL TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
a) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--Valuation of securities by each Portfolio is
discussed in Note 1 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which are
included elsewhere in this report.
b) INVESTMENT INCOME--Each Fund records its share of net investment income,
realized and unrealized gain and loss and adjusts its investment in its
respective Portfolio each day. All the net investment income and realized and
unrealized gain and loss of each Portfolio is allocated among each Fund and
other investors in each Portfolio at the time of such determination.
c) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Dividends equal to all or substantially all of
each Fund's net investment income will be declared and paid as follows: For the
Small Cap Fund and Equity Index Fund, dividends will be declared and paid at
least once a year; for the Bond Index Fund, dividends will be declared and paid
at least once a month; and for the Balanced Fund, Equity Growth Fund and the
Value Equity Income Fund, dividends will be declared and paid at least
quarterly. Distributions to shareholders of net realized capital gains, if any,
are normally declared and paid annually.
d) DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES--The following organization expenses are
being deferred and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not
to exceed five years beginning with the commencement of operations of the Trust:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Equity Index Fund................ $ 12,249
Bond Index Fund.................. $ 10,523
Small Cap Fund................... $ 7,208
Balanced Fund.................... $ 28,415
Equity Growth Fund............... $ 23,959
Value Equity Income Fund......... $ 9,746
</TABLE>
The amount paid by a Fund on any redemption of the Fund's Initial Shares,
will be reduced by the pro rata portion of any unamortized organization expenses
of the Fund and the corresponding Portfolio which the number of Initial Shares
redeemed bears to the total number of Initial Shares outstanding immediately
prior to such redemption, and the amount of such reduction in excess of the
unamortized organization expenses of the Fund shall be contributed by the Trust
to the Portfolio.
e) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a
regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interest of
the shareholders, by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and by distributing
substantially all of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. For Federal
income tax purposes, each Fund is treated as a single entity for the purpose of
determining such qualification.
f) EXPENSE ALLOCATION--Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to any
two or more Funds in the Trust are allocated in proportion to the average net
assets of each Fund, except where allocations of direct expenses to each Fund
can otherwise be fairly made. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are
charged to that Fund.
g) OTHER--All of the net income of a Portfolio is allocated pro rata among
its corresponding Fund and the other investors in the Portfolio at the time of
such determination.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
St. James Portfolios (the "Portfolio Series") was organized as a New York
trust on May 11, 1994, with the Portfolios established as separate series of the
Portfolio Series on the same date. The Portfolio Series is comprised of twelve
portfolios, six of which are active and described herein (each a "Portfolio";
collectively, the "Portfolios"): Equity Market Portfolio, Bond Market Portfolio,
Small Cap Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Equity Growth Portfolio, and Value
Equity Income Portfolio. The Portfolio Series had no operations until July 8,
1994 (when operations commenced) other than matters relating to its organization
and registration as an open-end diversified management investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), the sale of a beneficial
interest (the "Initial Interest") of each Portfolio at the respective purchase
price of $16,667 each to a corresponding series of Excelsior Institutional Trust
(each a "Fund") as noted below, and the sale of a beneficial interest of each
Portfolio at the respective purchase price of $100 each to UST Distributors,
Inc. The Declaration of Trust permits the Portfolio Series to issue an unlimited
number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

</TABLE>
United States Trust Company of The Pacific Northwest ("U.S. Trust Pacific")
serves as the Portfolios' investment advisor. United States Trust Company of New
York ("U.S. Trust") serves as the subadvisor to the Equity Market, Bond Market
and Small Cap Portfolios. Becker Capital Management, Inc., Luther King Capital
Management and Spare, Kaplan, Bischel & Associates serve as the subadvisor to
the Balanced, Equity Growth and Value Equity Income Portfolios, respectively.
Signature Financial Services, Inc. ("SFSI") serves as the Portfolio Series'
servicing and fund accounting agent. U.S. Trust serves as the Portfolio Series'
custodian. U.S. Trust Pacific is a subsidiary of U.S. Trust. Each Portfolio's
fiscal year ends on May 31.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Portfolios:
a) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--Investments in securities (including financial
futures) that are traded on a recognized stock exchange are valued at the last
sale price on the exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at
the last sale price on a national securities market. Securities traded
over-the-counter are valued each business day on the basis of closing
over-the-counter bid prices. Securities for which there were no transactions are
valued at the average of the most recent bid prices (as calculated by an
independent pricing service (the "Service") based upon its evaluation of the
market for such securities) when, in the judgment of the Service, quoted bid
prices for securities are readily available and are representative of the bid
side of the market. Securities for
32
<PAGE>
ST. JAMES PORTFOLIOS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value in
accordance with procedures adopted by the Portfolio Series' Trustees. Short-term
debt instruments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.
b) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Security transactions are
recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold
are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, including where
applicable amortization of discounts and premiums on investments, is recorded on
the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
c) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Portfolios may purchase portfolio securities
from financial institutions deemed to be creditworthy by the investment advisor
and subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase and the Portfolios'
agreement to resell such securities at mutually agreed-upon prices. Securities
purchased subject to such repurchase agreements are deposited with the
Portfolios' subcustodian or are maintained in the Federal Reserve/Treasury
book-entry system and must have, at all times, an aggregate market value of not
less than 101% of the repurchase price (including accrued interest).
If the value of the underlying security, including accrued interest, falls
below 101% of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the Portfolios will
require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day.
Default or bankruptcy of the seller may, however, expose the applicable
Portfolio to possible delay in connection with the disposition of the underlying
securities or loss to the extent that proceeds from a sale of the underlying
securities were less than the repurchase price under the agreement.
d) DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES--The following organization expenses are
being deferred and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not
to exceed five years beginning with the commencement of operations of the
Portfolio Series:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Equity Market Portfolio.......... $ 50,867 Balanced Portfolio............... $ 67,159
Bond Market Portfolio............ $ 46,910 Equity Growth Portfolio.......... $ 62,110
Small Cap Portfolio.............. $ 42,997 Value Equity Income Portfolio.... $ 45,719
</TABLE>
Any amount received by a Portfolio from its corresponding Fund as a result
of a redemption of the Fund's Initial Shares will be applied so as to reduce the
amount of unamortized organization expenses. The amount paid by the Portfolio
Series on behalf of a Portfolio on any withdrawal from that Portfolio of the
initial beneficial interest of UST Distributors, Inc. will be reduced by a pro
rata portion of any unamortized organization expenses of the Portfolio. With
regards to each Portfolio, this reduction will be determined with respect to
each withdrawal of an initial beneficial interest by calculating the proportion
of the amount of the Initial Interest withdrawn to the aggregate amount of the
Initial Interest then outstanding. The service providers to the Portfolios have
agreed to contribute to each Portfolio at the time of the termination,
liquidation, or dissolution of a Portfolio, an amount equal to the unamortized
organization expenses at such time.
e) EXPENSE ALLOCATION--Expenses incurred by the Portfolio Series with
respect to any two or more Portfolios are allocated in proportion to the average
net assets of each Portfolio, except where allocation of direct expenses to each
Portfolio can otherwise be fairly made. Expenses directly attributable to a
Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio.
33
<PAGE>
ST. JAMES PORTFOLIOS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
f) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--Each Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in each Portfolio will be
subject to taxation on its share of that Portfolio's ordinary income and capital
gains. It is intended that each Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way
that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, SUBADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATES
a) Fees payable by the Portfolio Series pursuant to the provisions of an
Investment Advisory Agreement with U.S. Trust Pacific are payable monthly,
computed on the average daily values of each Portfolio's net assets at the
following annual rates: 0.25% for the Equity Market and Bond Market Portfolios,
and 0.65% for the Small Cap, Balanced, Equity Growth and Value Equity Income
Portfolios. For the period July 8, 1994 (commencement of operations) through
November 30, 1994, U.S. Trust Pacific voluntarily agreed to waive all of its
investment advisory fees, amounting to the following:
<TABLE>

Bond Market Portfolio........... $ 20,505 Equity Growth Portfolio......... $ 127,314

In addition, U.S. Trust Pacific voluntarily agreed to reimburse the
Portfolio Series for all expenses exclusive of the investment advisory fee,
taxes, interest, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. For the
period July 8, 1994 (commencement of operations) through November 30, 1994, U.S.
Trust Pacific voluntarily reimbursed the Portfolio Series the following amounts:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
Pursuant to separate subadvisory agreements between U.S. Trust Pacific and
each subadvisor, subadvisory fees are payable monthly by U.S. Trust Pacific,
computed on the average daily value of each Portfolio's net assets at the
following maximum annual rates: 0.25% for the Equity Market and Bond Market
Portfolios, 0.65% for the Small Cap Portfolio, 0.425% for the Balanced
Portfolio, and 0.40% for the Equity Growth and Value Equity Income Portfolios.
The subadvisors are compensated only by U.S. Trust Pacific, and receive no fee
directly from the Portfolio Series. For the period July 8, 1994 (commencement of
operations) through November 30, 1994, subadvisory fees amounted to the
following:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Equity Market Portfolio......... $ 25,778 Balanced Portfolio.............. $ 100,087
Bond Market Portfolio........... $ 20,505 Equity Growth Portfolio......... $ 78,347
Small Cap Portfolio............. $ 32,828 Value Equity Income Portfolio... $ 29,852
</TABLE>
b) Pursuant to the provisions of a Servicing and Fund Accounting Agreement
("Agreement") with SFSI, SFSI serves as the servicing and fund accounting agent
to the Portfolio Series, providing fund accounting and other services necessary
for the operations of the Portfolio Series and furnishing office facilities
required for conducting the business of the Portfolio Series. Certain officers
of
34
<PAGE>
ST. JAMES PORTFOLIOS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
SFSI serve as officers of the Portfolio Series and are compensated by SFSI. Fees
payable to SFSI pursuant to the Agreement for its servicing functions are
payable monthly and computed on the average daily value of each Portfolio's net
assets at the following annual rates: 0.05% of the first $2 billion in assets;
0.08% of the next $500 million; 0.07% of the next $500 million; 0.06% of the
next $1 billion; and 0.05% thereafter. In addition, for its fund accounting
services under the Agreement, SFSI receives a fee payable monthly of $50,000 per
year per Portfolio. For the period July 8, 1994 (commencement of operations)
through November 30, 1994, fees payable under the Agreement for each Portfolio
amounted to the following:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Equity Market Portfolio.......... $ 24,587 Balanced Portfolio............... $ 31,136
Bond Market Portfolio............ $ 23,545 Equity Growth Portfolio.......... $ 29,178
Small Cap Portfolio.............. $ 21,989 Value Equity Income Portfolio.... $ 23,178
</TABLE>
c) Independent Trustees receive an annual retainer of $8,000 and an
additional $500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees attended. In addition,
the Portfolio Series reimburses the independent Trustees for reasonable expenses
incurred when acting in their capacity as Trustees.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
a) Investment transactions (excluding short-term investments) for the period
July 8, 1994 (commencement of operations) through November 30, 1994 were as
follows:

Value Equity Income Portfolio............................. $ 20,741,494 $ 3,370,042
</TABLE>
b) With respect to the Equity Market Portfolio, the portfolio is engaged in
trading financial futures contracts. The Portfolio is exposed to market risk as
a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments.
Investments in financial futures require the Portfolio to "mark to market" on a
daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contract at
the close of each day's trading. Accordingly, variation margin payments are made
or received to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses. When the contracts are
closed, the Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss. These investments
require initial margin deposits with a custodian, which consists of cash or cash
equivalents, up to approximately 10% of the contract amount. The amount of these
deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract
is traded and is subject to change.

ITEM 27. INDEMNIFICATION.
Reference is hereby made to Article IX of the Registrant's Trust
Instrument, filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement.
The Trustees and officers of the Registrant and the personnel of the
Registrant's administrator are insured under an errors and omissions liability
insurance policy. The Registrant and its officers are also insured under the
fidelity bond required by Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the "1940 Act").
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), may be permitted to directors,
trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant and the principal
underwriter pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
trustee, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant and the principal
underwriter in connection with the successful defense of any action, suite or
proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such director, trustee,
officer or controlling person or principal underwriter in connection with the
shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 28. BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 29. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS.
(a) UST Distributors, Inc. is the distributor for the shares of the
Registrant. UST Distributors, Inc. also serves as the principal underwriter

Inc. The principal business address of these individuals is 125 West 55th

exist in the Board of Trustees, regardless of the reason for such vacancy, the
remaining Trustees shall appoint any person as they determine in their sole
discretion to fill that vacancy, consistent with the limitations under the 1940
Act. Such appointment shall be made by a written instrument signed by a majority
of the Trustees or by a resolution of the Trustees, duly adopted and recorded in
the records of the Trust, specifying the effective date of the appointment. The
Trustees may appoint a new Trustee as provided above in anticipation of a
vacancy expected to occur because of the retirement, resignation, or removal of
a Trustee, or an increase in number of Trustees, provided that such appointment
shall become effective only at or after the expected vacancy occurs. As soon as
any such Trustee has accepted his appointment in writing, the trust estate shall
vest in the new Trustee, together with the continuing Trustees, without any
further act or conveyance, and he shall be deemed a Trustee hereunder. The power
of appointment is subject to Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act.
Section 5. TEMPORARY VACANCY OR ABSENCE. Whenever a vacancy in the

Trustees shall have all the powers hereunder and their certificate as to such

1940 Act requires that a particular action be taken only at a meeting of
Trustees in person) at which a quorum is present or by written consent of a
majority of Trustees (or such greater number as may be required by applicable
law) without a meeting. A majority of the Trustees shall constitute a quorum at
any meeting. Meetings of the Trustees may be called orally or in writing by the
Chairman of the Board of Trustees or by any Trustee. Notice of the time, date
and place of all Trustees meetings shall be given to each Trustee by telephone,
facsimile or other electronic mechanism sent to his home or business address at
least twenty-four hours in advance of the meeting or by written notice mailed to
his home or business address at least seventy-two hours in advance of the
meeting. Notice need not be given to any Trustee who attends the meeting without
objecting to the lack of notice or who signs a waiver of notice either before or
after the meeting. Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Trustees by
majority vote may delegate to any Trustee or Trustees authority to approve
particular matters or take particular actions on behalf of the Trust. Any

Section 8. OWNERSHIP OF TRUST PROPERTY. The Trust Property of the Trust
and of each Series shall be held separate and apart from any assets now or
hereafter held in any capacity other than as Trustee hereunder by the Trustees
or any successor Trustees. All of the Trust Property and legal title thereto
shall at all times be considered as vested in the Trustees on behalf of the
Trust, except that the Trustees may cause legal title to any Trust Property to
be held by or in the name of the Trust, or in the name of any person as nominee.
No Shareholder shall be deemed to have a severable ownership in any individual
asset of the Trust or of any series or any right of partition or possession
thereof, but each Shareholder shall have, as provided in Article IV, a
proportionate undivided beneficial interest in the Trust or Series represented
by Shares.
Section 9. EFFECT OF TRUSTEES NOT SERVING. The death, resignation,
retirement, removal, incapacity, or inability or refusal to serve of the
Trustees, or any one of them, shall not operate to annul the Trust or to revoke
any existing agency created pursuant to the terms of this Trust Instrument.
Section 10. TRUSTEES, ETC. AS SHAREHOLDERS. Subject to any restrictions
in the By-laws, any Trustee, officer, agent or independent contractor of the
Trust may acquire, own and dispose of Shares to the same extent as any other
Shareholder; the Trustees may issue and sell Shares to and buy Shares from any
such person or any firm or company in which such person is interested, subject
only to any general limitations herein.
ARTICLE III

desirable in the management of the Trust. The Trustees shall not in any way be

which they, in their sole discretion, deem proper to accomplish the purposes of
the Trust. The Trustees may exercise all of their powers without recourse to any

accomplish any purpose or to further any of the foregoing powers, and to take
every other action incidental to the foregoing business or purposes, objects or
powers.
-6-
<PAGE>
The clauses above shall be construed as objects and powers, and the
enumeration of specific powers shall not limit in any way the general powers of
the Trustees. Any action by one or more of the Trustees in their capacity as
such hereunder shall be deemed an action on behalf of the Trust or the
applicable Series, and not an action in an individual capacity. No one dealing
with the Trustees shall be under any obligation to make any inquiry concerning
the authority of the Trustees, or to see to the application of any payments made
or property transferred to the Trustees or upon their order. In construing this
Trust Instrument, the presumption shall be in favor of a grant of power to the
Trustees.
Section 2. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Except as prohibited by applicable
law, the Trustees may, on behalf of the Trust, buy any securities from or sell
any securities to, or lend any assets of the Trust to, any Trustee or officer of
the Trust or any firm of which any such Trustee or officer is a member acting as
principal, or have any such dealings with any investment adviser, administrator,
distributor or transfer agent for the Trust or with any Interested Person of
such person. The Trust may employ any such person or entity in which such person
is an Interested Person, as broker, legal counsel, registrar, investment
adviser, administrator, distributor, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent,
custodian or in any other capacity upon customary terms.
ARTICLE IV
SERIES: CLASSES: SHARES
Section 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF SERIES OR CLASS. The Trust shall consist of
one or more Series. The Trustees hereby establish the Series listed in Schedule
A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Each additional Series shall be
established by the adoption of a resolution of the Trustees. The Trustees may
designate the relative rights and preferences of the Shares of each Series. The
Trustees may divide the Shares of any Series into Classes. In such case each
Class of a Series shall represent interests in the assets of that Series and
have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms
and conditions, except as may be provided in the instrument establishing the
rights and preferences of the Class and except that expenses allocated to a
Class may be borne solely by such Class as determined by the Trustees and a
Class may have exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only
that Class. The Trust shall maintain separate and distinct records for each
Series and hold and account for the assets thereof separately from the other
assets of the Trust or of any other Series. A Series may issue any number of
Shares and need not issue Shares. Each Share of a Series shall represent an
equal beneficial interest in the net assets of such Series. Each holder of
Shares of a Series shall be entitled to receive his pro rata share of all
distributions made with respect to such Series. Upon redemption of his Shares,
such Shareholder shall be paid solely out of the funds and property of such
Series. The Trustees may change the name of any Series or Class.
Section 2. SHARES. The beneficial interest in the Trust shall be
divided into Shares of one or more separate and distinct Series or Classes
established by the Trustees. The number of Shares of each Series and Class is
unlimited and
-7-
<PAGE>
each Share shall have a par value of $0.00001 per Share. All Shares issued
hereunder shall be fully paid and nonassessable. Shareholders shall have no
preemptive or other right to subscribe to any additional Shares or other
securities issued by the Trust. The Trustees shall have full power and
authority, in their sole discretion and without obtaining Shareholder approval:
to issue original or additional Shares at such times and on such terms and
conditions as they deem appropriate; to issue fractional Shares and Shares held
in the treasury; to establish and to change in any manner Shares of any Series
or Classes with such preferences, terms of conversion, voting powers, rights and
privileges as the Trustees may determine (but the Trustees may not change
Outstanding Shares in a manner materially adverse to the Shareholders of such
Shares); to divide or combine the Shares of any Series or Classes into a greater
or lesser number; to classify or reclassify any unissued Shares of any Series or
Classes into one or more Series or Classes of Shares; to abolish any one or more
Series or Classes of Shares; to issue Shares to acquire other assets (including
assets subject to, and in connection with, the assumption of liabilities) and
businesses; and to take such other action with respect to the Shares as the
Trustees may deem desirable. Shares held in the treasury shall not confer any
voting rights on the Trustees and shall not be entitled to any dividends or
other distributions declared with respect to the Shares.
Section 3. INVESTMENT IN THE TRUST. The Trustees shall accept
investments in any Series from such persons and on such terms as they may from
time to time authorize. At the Trustees' discretion, such investments, subject
to applicable law, may be in the form of cash or securities in which that Series
is authorized to invest, valued as provided in Article V, Section 3. Investments
in a Series shall be credited to each Shareholder's account in the form of full
Shares at the Net Asset Value per Share next determined after the investment is
received or accepted as may be determined by the Trustees; provided, however,
that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, (a) impose a sales charge upon
investments in any Series or Class, (b) issue fractional Shares, or (c)
determine the Net Asset Value per Share of the initial capital contribution. The
Trustees shall have the right to refuse to accept investments in any Series at
any time without any cause or reason therefor whatsoever.
Section 4. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF SERIES. All consideration received
by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Series, together
with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all
income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof (including any proceeds derived
from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments
derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may
be), shall be held and accounted for separately from the other assets of the
Trust and every other Series and are referred to as "assets belonging to" that
Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall belong only to that Series for
all purposes, and to no other Series, subject only to the rights of creditors of
that Series. Any assets, income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds,
or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular
Series shall be allocated by the Trustees between and among one or more Series
as the Trustees deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series for all purposes, and
such assets, earnings, income, profits or funds, or payments and proceeds
thereof shall be referred to as assets belonging to that Series. The assets
belonging to a Series shall be so recorded upon the books of the Trust, and
shall be held by the Trustees in
-8-
<PAGE>
trust for the benefit of the Shareholders of that Series. The assets belonging
to a Series shall be charged with the liabilities of that Series and all
expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that series, except that
liabilities and expenses allocated solely to a particular Class shall be borne
by that Class. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of
the Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular
Series or Class shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees between or among
any one or more of the Series or Classes in such manner as the Trustees deem
fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Shareholders of all Series or Classes for all purposes.
Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the right of the
Trustees to allocate general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves
as herein provided, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred,
contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series shall
be enforceable against the assets of such Series only, and not against the
assets of the Trust generally or of any other Series. Notice of this contractual
limitation on liabilities among Series may, in the Trustees' discretion, be set
forth in the certificate of trust of the Trust (whether originally or by
amendment) as filed or to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware Act, and upon the giving of such
notice in the certificate of trust, the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of
the Delaware Act relating to limitations on liabilities among Series (and the
statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the
certificate of trust) shall become applicable to the Trust and each Series. Any
person extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against any
Series may look only to the assets of that Series to satisfy or enforce any
debt, with respect to that Series. No Shareholder or former Shareholder of any
Series shall have a claim on or any right to any assets allocated or belonging
to any other Series.
Section 5. OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER OF SHARES. The Trust shall maintain a
register containing the names and addresses of the Shareholders of each Series
and Class thereof, the number of Shares of each Series and Class held by such
Shareholders, and a record of all Share transfers. The register shall be
conclusive as to the identity of Shareholders of record and the number of Shares
held by them from time to time. The Trustees may authorize the issuance of
certificates representing Shares and adopt rules governing their use. The
Trustees may make rules governing the transfer of Shares, whether or not
represented by certificates.
Section 6. STATUS OF SHARES: LIMITATION OF SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY.
Shares shall be deemed to be personal property giving Shareholders only the
rights provided in this Trust Instrument. Every Shareholder, by virtue of having
acquired a Share, shall be held expressly to have assented to and agreed to be
bound by the terms of this Trust Instrument and to have become a party hereto.
No Shareholder shall be personally liable for the debts, liabilities,
obligations and expenses incurred by, contracted for, or otherwise existing with
respect to, the Trust or any Series. Neither the Trust nor the Trustees shall
have any power to bind any Shareholder personally or to demand payment from any
Shareholder for anything, other than as agreed by the Shareholder. Shareholders
shall have the same limitation of personal liability as is extended to
shareholders of a private
-9-
<PAGE>
corporation for profit incorporated in the State of Delaware. Every written
obligation of the Trust or any Series shall contain a statement to the effect
that such obligation may only be enforced against the assets of the Trust or
such Series; however, the omission of such statement shall not operate to bind
or create personal liability for any Shareholder or Trustee.
ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
Section 1. DISTRIBUTIONS. The Trustees may declare and pay dividends
and other distributions, including dividends on Shares of a particular Series
and other distributions from the assets belonging to that Series. The amount and
payment of dividends or distributions and their form, whether they are in cash,
Shares or other Trust Property, shall be determined by the Trustees. Dividends
and other distributions may be paid pursuant to a standing resolution adopted
once or more often as the Trustees determine. All dividends and other
distributions on Shares of a particular Series shall be distributed pro rata to
the Shareholders of that Series in proportion to the number of Shares of that
Series they held on the record date established for such payment, except that
such dividends and distributions shall appropriately reflect expenses allocated
to a particular Class of such Series. The Trustees may adopt and offer to
Shareholders such dividend reinvestment plans, cash dividend payout plans or
similar plans as the Trustees deem appropriate.
Section 2. REDEMPTIONS. Each Shareholder of a Series shall have the
right at such times as may be permitted by the Trustees to require the Series to
redeem all or any part of his Shares at a redemption price per Share equal to
the Net Asset Value per Share at such time as the Trustees shall have prescribed
by resolution. In the absence of such resolution, the redemption price per Share
shall be the Net Asset Value next determined after receipt by the Series of a
request for redemption in proper form less such charges as are determined by the
Trustees and described in the Trust's Registration Statement for that Series
under the Securities Act of 1933 or the 1940 Act. The Trustees may specify
conditions, prices, and places of redemption, and may specify binding
requirements for the proper form or forms of requests for redemption. Payment of
the redemption price may be wholly or partly in securities or other assets at
the value of such securities or assets used in such determination of Net Asset
Value, or may be in cash. Upon redemption, Shares may be reissued from time to
time. The Trustees may require Shareholders to redeem Shares for any reason
under terms set by the Trustees, including the failure of a Shareholder to
supply a personal identification number if required to do so, or to have the
minimum investment required, or to pay when due for the purchase of Shares
issued to him. To the extent permitted by law, the Trustees may retain the
proceeds of any redemption of Shares required by them for payment of amounts due
and owing by a Shareholder to the Trust or any Series or Class. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Trustees may postpone payment of the redemption price and may
suspend the right of the Shareholders to require any Series or Class to redeem
Shares during any period of time when and to the extent permissible under the
1940 Act.
-10-
<PAGE>
Section 3. DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE. The Trustees shall cause
the Net Asset Value of Shares of each Series or Class to be determined from time
to time in a manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations. The
Trustees may delegate the power and duty to determine Net Asset Value per Share
to one or more Trustees or officers of the Trust or to a custodian, depository
or other agent appointed for such purpose. The Net Asset Value of Shares shall
be determined separately for each Series or Class at such times as may be
prescribed by the Trustees or, in the absence of action by the Trustees, as of
the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day for all or part
of which such Exchange is open for unrestricted trading.
Section 4. SUSPENSION OF RIGHT OF REDEMPTION. If, as referred to in
Section 2 of this Article, the Trustees postpone payment of the redemption price
and suspend the right of Shareholders to redeem their Shares, such suspension
shall take effect at the time the Trustees shall specify, but not later than the
close of business on the business day next following the declaration of
suspension. Thereafter Shareholders shall have no right of redemption or payment
until the Trustees declare the end of the suspension. If the right of redemption
is suspended, a Shareholder may either withdraw his request for redemption or
receive payment based on the Net Asset value per Share next determined after the
suspension terminates.
Section 5. REDEMPTIONS NECESSARY FOR QUALIFICATION AS REGULATED
INVESTMENT COMPANY. If the Trustees shall determine that direct or indirect
ownership of Shares of any Series has or may become concentrated in any person
to an extent which would disqualify any Series as a regulated investment company
under the Internal Revenue Code, then the Trustees shall have the power (but not
the obligation) by lot or other means they deem equitable to (a) call for
redemption by any such person of a number, or principal amount, of Shares
sufficient to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership of Shares into
conformity with the requirements for such qualification and (b) refuse to
transfer or issue Shares to any person whose acquisition of Shares in question
would, in the Trustees' judgement, result in such disqualification. Any such
redemption shall be effected at the redemption price and in the manner provided
in this Article. Shareholders shall upon demand disclose to the Trustees in
writing such information concerning direct and indirect ownership of Shares as
the Trustees deem necessary to comply with the requirements of any taxing
authority.
ARTICLE VI
SHAREHOLDERS' VOTING POWERS AND MEETINGS
Section 1. VOTING POWERS. The Shareholders shall have power to vote
only with respect to (a) the removal of Trustees as provided in Article II,
Section 3(d); (b) any investment advisory or management contract as provided in
Article VII, Section 1; (c) any termination of the Trust as provided in Article
X, Section 5; (d) the amendment of this Trust Instrument to the extent and as
provided in Article X, Section 9; and (e) such additional matters relating to
the Trust as may be required or authorized by law, this Trust Instrument, or the
By-laws or any registration of the Trust with the Commission or any State, or as
the Trustees may consider desirable.
-11-
<PAGE>
On any matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, all Shares shall
be voted by individual Series or Class, except (a) when required by the 1940
Act, Shares shall be voted in the aggregate and not by individual Series or
Class, and (b) when the Trustees have determined that the matter affects the
interests of more than one Series or Class, then the Shareholders of all such
Series or Classes shall be entitled to vote thereon. Each whole Share shall be
entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote, and each
fractional Share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. There
shall be no cumulative voting in the election of Trustees. Shares may be voted
in person or by proxy or in any manner provided for in the By-laws. The By-laws
may provide that proxies may be given by any electronic or telecommunications
device or in any other manner, but if a proposal by anyone other than the
officers or Trustees is submitted to a vote of the Shareholders of any Series or
Class, or if there is a proxy contest or proxy solicitation or proposal in
opposition to any proposal by the officers or Trustees, Shares may be voted only
in person or by written proxy. Until Shares of a Series are issued, as to that
Series the Trustees may exercise all rights of Shareholders and may take any
action required or permitted to be taken by Shareholders by law, this Trust
Instrument or the By- laws.
Section 2. MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS. Special meetings of the
Shareholders of any Series or Class may be called by the Trustees and shall be
called by the Trustees upon the written request of Shareholders owning at least
ten percent of the Outstanding Shares of such Series or Class entitled to vote.
Shareholders shall be entitled to at least fifteen days' notice of any meeting,
given as determined by the Trustees.
Section 3. QUORUM; REQUIRED VOTE. One-third of the Outstanding Shares
of each Series or Class, or one-third of the Outstanding Shares of the Trust,
entitled to vote in person or by proxy shall be a quorum for the transaction of
business at a Shareholders' meeting with respect to such Series or Class, or
with respect to the entire Trust, respectively. Any lesser number shall be
sufficient for adjournments. Any adjourned session of a Shareholders' meeting
may be held within a reasonable time without further notice. Except when a
larger vote is required by law, this Trust Instrument or the By-laws, a majority
of the Outstanding Shares voted in person or by proxy shall decide any matters
to be voted upon with respect to the entire Trust and a plurality of such
Outstanding Shares shall elect a Trustee; provided, that if this Trust
Instrument or applicable law permits or requires that Shares be voted on any
matter by individual Series or Classes, then a majority of the Outstanding
Shares of that Series or Class (or, if required by law, a Majority Shareholder
Vote of that Series or Class) voted in person or by proxy voted on the matter
shall decide that matter insofar as that Series or Class is concerned.
Shareholders may act as to the Trust or any Series or Class by the written
consent of a majority (or such greater amount as may be required by applicable
law) of the Outstanding Shares of the Trust or of such Series or Class, as the
case may be.
ARTICLE VII

the Trustees may enter into one or more investment advisory contracts on behalf
of the Trust or any Series, providing for investment advisory services,
statistical and research facilities and services, and other facilities and

acceptable to the Trustees. Any such contract may provide for the investment
adviser to effect purchases, sales or exchanges of portfolio securities or other

Shares, subject to the requirements of Section 12 of the 1940 Act, Rule 12b-1
thereunder, and other applicable rules and regulations.

may enter into any contract referred to in this Article with any entity,
although one or more of the Trustees or officers of the Trust may be an officer,
director, trustee, partner, shareholder, or member of such entity, and no such
contract shall be invalidated or rendered void or voidable because of such
relationship. No person having such a relationship shall be disqualified from
voting on or executing a contract in his capacity as Trustee and/or Shareholder,
or be liable merely by reason of such relationship for any loss or expense to
the Trust with respect to such a contract or accountable for any profit realized
directly or indirectly therefrom; provided, that the contract was reasonable and
fair and not inconsistent with this Trust Instrument or the By-laws.
-13-
<PAGE>
Any contract referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article shall be
consistent with and subject to the applicable requirements of Section 15 of the
1940 Act and the rules and orders thereunder with respect to its continuance in
effect, its termination, and the method of authorization and approval of such
contract or renewal. No amendment to a contract referred to in Section 1 of this
Article shall be effective unless assented to in a manner consistent with the
requirements of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, and the rules and orders thereunder.
ARTICLE VIII

Trustees shall have a lien on the assets belonging to the appropriate Series, or
in the case of an expense allocable to more than one Series, on the assets of
each such Series, prior to any rights or interests of the Shareholders thereto,
for the reimbursement to them of such expenses, disbursements, losses and
liabilities.
ARTICLE IX
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. All persons contracting with or
having any claim against the Trust or a particular Series shall look only to the
assets of the Trust or such Series for payment under such contract or claim; and
neither the Trustees nor any of the Trust's officers, employees or agents,
whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor. Every
written instrument or obligation on behalf of the Trust or any Series shall
contain a statement to
-14-
<PAGE>
the foregoing effect, but the absence of such statement shall not operate to
make any Trustee or officer of the Trust liable thereunder. Provided they have
exercised reasonable care and have acted under the reasonable belief that their
actions are in the best interest of the Trust, the Trustees and officers of the
Trust shall not be responsible or liable for any act or omission or for neglect
or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee, investment adviser or
independent contractor of the Trust, but nothing contained in this Trust
Instrument or in the Delaware Act shall protect any Trustee or officer of the
Trust against liability to the Trust or to Shareholders to which he would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his
office.
Section 2. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Subject to the exceptions and
limitations contained in subsection (b) below:
(i) every person who is, or has been, a Trustee or an officer,
employee or agent of the Trust ("Covered Person") shall be
indemnified by the Trust or the appropriate Series to the
fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against
all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection
with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes
involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or
having been a Covered Person and against amounts paid or
incurred by him in the settlement thereof;
(ii) as used herein, the words "claim, "action," "suit," or
"proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions, suits or
proceedings (civil, criminal or other, including appeals),
actual or threatened, and the words "liability" and "expenses"
shall include, without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs,
judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties and
other liabilities.
(b) No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered
Person:
(i) who shall have been adjudicated by a court or body before
which the proceeding was brought (A) to be liable to the Trust
or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of his office, or (B) not to have
acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action
was in the best interest of the Trust; or
(ii) in the event of a settlement, unless there has been a
determination that such Covered Person did not engage in
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office;
(A) by the court or other body approving the settlement; (B)
by at least a majority of those Trustees who are neither
Interested Persons of the Trust nor are parties to the matter
based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to
a full trial-type inquiry); or (C) by written opinion of
independent legal counsel based upon a review of readily
available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry).
-15-
<PAGE>
(c) The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured
against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not be
exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any Covered Person may now or
hereafter be entitled, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of a Covered Person.
(d) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, expenses in
connection with the preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim,
action, suit or proceeding of the character described in subsection (a) of this
Section may be paid by the Trust or applicable Series from time to time prior to
final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
Covered Person that such amount will be paid over by him to the Trust or
applicable Series if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to
indemnification under this Section; provided, however, that either (i) such
Covered Person shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking,
(ii) the Trust is insured against losses arising out of any such advance
payments or (iii) either a majority of the Trustees who are neither Interested
Persons of the Trust nor parties to the matter, or independent legal counsel in
a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of readily
available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason
to believe that such Covered Person will not be disqualified from
indemnification under this Section.
(e) Any repeal or modification of this Article IX by the Shareholders
of the Trust, or adoption or modification of any other provision of the Trust
Instrument or By-laws inconsistent with this Article, shall be prospective only,
to the extent that such repeal or modification would, if applied
retrospectively, adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any Covered
Person or indemnification available to any Covered Person with respect to any
act or omission which occurred prior to such repeal, modification or adoption.
Section 3. INDEMNIFICATION OF SHAREHOLDERS. If any Shareholder or
former Shareholder of any Series shall be held personally liable solely by
reason of his being or having been a Shareholder and not because of his acts or
omissions or for some other reason, the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or
his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or in the
case of any entity, its general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets
belonging to the applicable Series to be held harmless from and indemnified
against all loss and expense arising from such liability. The Trust, on behalf
of the affected Series, shall, upon request by such Shareholder, assume the
defense of any claim made against such Shareholder for any act or obligation of
the Series and satisfy any judgment thereon from the assets of the Series.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

trust and not a partnership. No Trustee shall have any power to bind personally
either the Trust's officers or any Shareholder.
-16-
<PAGE>
Section 2. TRUSTEE ACTION; EXPERT ADVICE; NO BOND OR SURETY. The
exercise by the Trustees of their powers and discretion hereunder in good faith
and with reasonable care under the circumstances then prevailing shall be
binding upon everyone interested. Subject to the provisions of Article IX,, the
Trustees shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law.
The Trustees may take advice of counsel or other experts with respect to the
meaning and operation of this Trust Instrument, and subject to the provisions of
Article IX, shall not be liable for any act or omission in accordance with such
advice or for failing to follow such advice. The Trustees shall not be required
to give any bond as such, nor any surety if a bond is obtained.
Section 3. DERIVATIVE ACTIONS. Shareholders shall have the right to
bring derivative actions to the extent provided in the Delaware Act; PROVIDED,
however, that except as required under the 1940 Act, no derivative action may be
brought unless Shareholders owning not less than 10% of the outstanding Shares
of all Series of the Trust, or of the affected Series of the Trust, as the case
may be, join in the bringing of such derivative action.
Section 4. RECORD DATES. The Trustees may fix in advance a date up to
ninety (90) days before the date of any Shareholders' meeting, or the date for
the payment of any dividends or other distributions, or the date for the
allotment of rights, or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of
Shares shall go into effect as a record date for the determination of the
Shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting, or
entitled to receive payment of such dividend or other distribution, or to
receive any such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights in respect of
any such change, conversion or exchange of Shares.
Section 5. TERMINATION OF THE TRUST. (a) This Trust shall have perpetual
existence. Subject to a Majority Shareholder Vote of the Trust or of each Series
to be affected, the Trustees may
(i) sell and convey all or substantially all of the assets of the
Trust or any affected Series to another Series or to another
entity which is an open-end investment company as defined in
the 1940 Act, or is a series thereof, for adequate
consideration, which may include the assumption of all
outstanding obligations, taxes and other liabilities, accrued
or contingent, of the Trust or any affected Series, and which
may include shares of or interests in such Series, entity, or
series thereof; or
(ii) at any time sell and convert into money all or substantially
all of the assets of the Trust or any affected,Series.
Upon making reasonable provision for the payment of all known liabilities of the
Trust or any affected Series in either (i) or (ii), by such assumption or
otherwise, the Trustees shall distribute the remaining proceeds or assets (as
the case may be) ratably among the Shareholders of the Trust or any affected
Series; however, the payment to any particular Class of such Series may be
reduced by any fees, expenses or charges allocated to that Class.
-17-
<PAGE>
(b) The Trustees may take any of the actions specified in subsection
(a) (i) and (ii) above without obtaining a Majority Shareholder Vote of the
Trust or any Series if a majority of the Trustees determines that the
continuation of the Trust or Series is not in the best interests of the Trust,
such Series, or their respective Shareholders as a result of factors or events
adversely affecting the ability of the Trust or such Series to conduct its
business and operations in an economically viable manner. Such factors and
events may include the inability of the Trust or a Series to maintain its assets
at an appropriate size, changes in laws or regulations governing the Trust or
the Series or affecting assets of the type in which the Trust or Series invests,
or economic developments or trends having a significant adverse impact on the
business or operations of the Trust or such Series.
(c) Upon completion of the distribution of the remaining proceeds or
assets pursuant to subsection (a), the Trust or affected Series shall terminate
and the Trustees and the Trust shall be discharged of any and all further
liabilities and duties hereunder with respect thereto and the right, title and
interest of all parties therein shall be canceled and discharged. Upon
termination of the Trust, following completion of winding up of its business,
the Trustees shall cause a certificate of cancellation of the Trust's
certificate of trust to be filed in accordance with the Delaware Act, which
certificate of cancellation may be signed by any one Trustee.
Section 6. REORGANIZATION. Notwithstanding anything else herein, to
change the Trust's form of organization the Trustees may, without Shareholder
approval, (a) cause the Trust to merge or consolidate with or into one or more
entities, if the surviving or resulting entity is the Trust or another open-end
management investment company registered under the 1940 Act, or a series
thereof, that will succeed to or assume the Trust's registration under the 1940
Act, or (b) cause the Trust to incorporate under the laws of the State of
Delaware. Any agreement of merger or consolidation or certificate of merger may
be signed by a majority of Trustees and facsimile signatures conveyed by
electronic or telecommunication means shall be valid.
Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 3815 (f)
of the Delaware Act, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved by the
Trustees in accordance with this Section may effect any amendment to the Trust
Instrument or effect the adoption of a new trust instrument of the Trust if it
is the surviving or resulting trust in the merger or consolidation.
Section 7. TRUST INSTRUMENT. The original or a copy of this Trust
Instrument and of each amendment hereto or Trust Instrument supplemental shall
be kept at the office of the Trust where it may be inspected by any Shareholder.
Anyone dealing with the Trust may rely on a certificate by a Trustee or an
officer of the Trust as to the authenticity of the Trust Instrument or any such
amendments or supplements and as to any matters in connection with the Trust.
The masculine gender herein shall include the feminine and neuter genders.
Headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction

Section 8. APPLICABLE LAW. This Trust Instrument and the Trust created
hereunder are governed by and construed and administered according to the
Delaware Act and the applicable laws of the State of Delaware; provided,
however, that there shall not be applicable to the Trust, the Trustees or this
Trust Instrument (a) the provisions of Section 3540 of Title 12 of the Delaware
Code, or (b) any provisions of the laws (statutory or common) of the State of
Delaware (other than the Delaware Act) pertaining to trusts which relate to or
regulate (i) the filing with any court or governmental body or agency of trustee
accounts or schedules of trustee fees and charges, (ii) affirmative requirements
to post bonds for trustees, officers, agents or employees of a trust, (iii) the
necessity for obtaining court or other governmental approval concerning the
acquisition, holding or disposition of real or personal property, (iv) fees or
other sums payable to trustees, officers, agents or employees of a trust, (v)
the allocation of receipts and expenditures to income or principal, (vi)
restrictions or limitations on the permissible nature, amount or concentration
of trust investments or requirements relating to the titling, storage or other
manner of holding of trust assets, or (vii) the establishment of fiduciary or
other standards of responsibilities or limitations on the acts or powers of
trustees, which are inconsistent with the limitations or liabilities or
authorities and powers of the Trustees set forth or referenced in this Trust
Instrument. The Trust shall be of the type commonly called a Delaware business
trust, and, without limiting the provisions hereof, the Trust may exercise all
powers which are ordinarily exercised by such a trust under Delaware law. The
Trust specifically reserves the right to exercise any of the powers or
privileges afforded to trusts or actions that may be engaged in by trusts under
the Delaware Act, and the absence of a specific reference herein to any such
power, privilege or action shall not imply that the Trust may not exercise such
power or privilege or take such actions.
Section 9. AMENDMENTS. The Trustees may, without any Shareholder vote,
amend or otherwise supplement this Trust Instrument by making an amendment, a
Trust Instrument supplemental hereto or an amended and restated trust
instrument; provided, that Shareholders shall have the right to vote on any
amendment (a) which would affect the voting rights of Shareholders granted in
Article VI, Section 1, (b) to this Section, (c) required to be approved by
Shareholders by law or by the Trust's registration statement(s) filed with the
Commission, and (d) submitted to them by the Trustees in their discretion. Any
amendment submitted to Shareholders which the Trustees determine would affect
the Shareholders of any Series shall be authorized by vote of the Shareholders
of such Series and no vote shall be required of Shareholders of a Series not
affected. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any amendment to Article IX
which would have the effect of reducing the indemnification and other rights
provided thereby to Trustees, officers, employees, and agents of the Trust or to
Shareholders or former Shareholders, and any repeal or amendment of this
sentence shall each require the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of
the outstanding Shares of the Trust entitled to vote thereon.
Section 10. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Trust shall end on a
specified date as set forth in the By-Laws. The Trustees may change such fiscal
year without Shareholder approval.
-19-
<PAGE>
Section 11. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Trust Instrument are
severable. If the Trustees determine, with the advice of counsel, that any
provision hereof conflicts with the 1940 Act, the regulated investment company
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or with other applicable laws and
regulations, the conflicting provision shall be deemed never to have constituted
a part of this Trust Instrument; provided, however, that such determination
shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Trust Instrument or
render invalid or improper any action taken or omitted prior to such
determination. If any provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such
provision only in such jurisdiction and shall not affect any other provision of
this Trust Instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned initial Trustee has executed this
Trust Instrument as of the date first above written.

Trustees are prohibited from so delegating. The Trustees may also elect from
their own number other Committees from time to time, the number composing such
Committees, the powers conferred upon the same (subject to the same limitations
as with respect to the Executive Committee) and the term of membership on such
Committees to be determined by the Trustees. The Trustees may designate a
chairman of any such Committee. In the absence of such designation a Committee

be removed with or without cause by such appointing officer or committee.
Section 4. POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT. The President, unless the
Chairman, if any, is so appointed by the Trustees, shall be the principal

subordinate officers, agents, clerks and employees as he may find necessary to

deliver all funds of the Trust which may come into his hands to such custodian
as the Trustees may employ pursuant to Article X hereof. The Treasurer shall

often as they shall require the same and shall in general perform all the duties
incident to the office of Treasurer and such other duties as from time to time
may be assigned to him by the Trustees. The Treasurer shall give a bond for the

shall be fixed from time to time by the Trustees or, in the case of officers, by
any committee of officers upon whom such power may be conferred by the Trustees.
No officer shall be prevented from receiving such compensation as such officer
by reason of the fact that he is also a Trustee.
Section 11. EXECUTION OF PAPERS. Except as the Trustees may generally or in
particular cases authorize, all deeds, leases, transfers, contracts, bonds,
notes, checks, drafts and other obligations made, accepted or endorsed by the

ARTICLE V
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Section 1. NO ANNUAL MEETINGS. There shall be no annual Shareholders'
meetings, unless required by law.
-4-
<PAGE>
Section 2. SPECIAL MEETINGS. The Secretary shall call a special meeting of
Shareholders of any Series or Class whenever ordered by the Trustees.
The Secretary also shall call a special meeting of Shareholders of any
Series or Class upon the written request of Shareholders owning at least ten
percent of the Outstanding Shares of such Series or Class entitled to vote at
such meeting; provided, that (1) such request shall state the purposes of such
meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on, and (2) the Shareholders
requesting such meeting shall have paid to the Trust the reasonably estimated
cost of preparing and mailing the notice thereof, which the Secretary shall
determine and specify to such Shareholders. If the Secretary fails for more than
thirty days to call a special meeting when required to do so, the Trustees or
the Shareholders requesting such a meeting may, in the name of the Secretary,
call the meeting by giving the required notice. The Secretary shall not call a
special meeting upon the request of Shareholders of any Series or Class to
consider any matter that is substantially the same as a matter voted upon at any
special meeting of Shareholders of such Series or Class held during the
preceding twelve months, unless requested by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Shares of such Series or Class entitled to be voted at such meeting.
A special meeting of Shareholders of any series or Class shall be held
at such time and place as is determined by the Trustees and stated in the notice
of that meeting.
Section 3. NOTICE OF MEETINGS; WAIVER. The Secretary shall call a special
meeting of Shareholders by giving written notice of the place, date, time, and
purposes of that meeting at least fifteen days before the date of such meeting.
The Secretary may deliver or mail, postage prepaid, the written notice of any
meeting to each Shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, notice
shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail directed to
the Shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Trust.
Section 4. ADJOURNED MEETINGS. A Shareholders, meeting may be adjourned one or
more times for any reason, including the failure of a quorum to attend the
meeting. No notice of adjournment of a meeting to another time or place need be
given to Shareholders if such time and place are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken or reasonable notice is given to persons present
at the meeting, and if the adjourned meeting is held within a reasonable time
after the date set for the original meeting. Any business that might have been
transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at any adjourned meeting.
If after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting,
the Secretary shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to Shareholders of
record entitled to vote at such meeting. Any irregularities in the notice of any
meeting or the nonreceipt of any such notice by any of the Shareholders shall
not invalidate any action otherwise properly taken at any such meeting.
Section 5. VALIDITY OF PROXIES. Subject to the provisions of the Trust
Instrument, Shareholders entitled to vote may vote either in person or by proxy;
provided, that either (1) the Shareholder or his or her duly authorized attorney
has signed and dated a written instrument authorizing such proxy to act, or (2)
the Trustees adopt by resolution an electronic, telephonic, computerized or
other alternative to execution of a written instrument authorizing the proxy to
-5-
<PAGE>
act, but if a proposal by anyone other than the officers or Trustees is
submitted to a vote of the Shareholders of any Series or Class, or if there is a
proxy contest or proxy solicitation or proposal in opposition to any proposal by
the officers or Trustees, Shares may be voted only in person or by written
proxy. Unless the proxy provides otherwise, it shall not be valid for more than
eleven months before the date of the meeting. All proxies shall be delivered to
the Secretary or other person responsible for recording the proceedings before
being voted. A proxy with respect to Shares held in the name of two or more
persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or prior to exercise
of such proxy the Trust receives a specific written notice to the contrary from
any one of them. Unless otherwise specifically limited by their terms, proxies
shall entitle the Shareholder to vote at any adjournment of a Shareholders'
meeting. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Shareholder
shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the
burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. At every meeting of
Shareholders, unless the voting is conducted by inspectors, the chairman of the
meeting shall decide all questions concerning the qualifications of voters, the
validity of proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes. Subject to the
provisions of the Delaware Business Trust Act, the Trust Instrument, or these
By- laws, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware relating to
proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder shall govern all matters
concerning the giving, voting or validity of proxies, as if the Trust were a
Delaware corporation and the Shareholders were shareholders of a Delaware
corporation.
Section 6. RECORD DATE. The Trustees may fix in advance a date up to ninety days
before the date of any Shareholders' meeting as a record date for the
determination of the Shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any
such meeting. The Shareholders of record entitled to vote at a Shareholders'
meeting shall be deemed the Shareholders of record at any meeting reconvened
after one or more adjournments, unless the Trustees have fixed a new record
date. If the Shareholders' meeting is adjourned for more than sixty days after
the original date, the Trustees shall establish a new record date.
Section 7. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING. Shareholders may take any action without a
meeting if a majority (or such greater amount as may be required by law) of the
Outstanding Shares entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action in
writing and such written consents are filed with the records of Shareholders'
meetings. Such written consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote at a
meeting of the Shareholders.
ARTICLE VI
SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
Section 1. NO SHARE CERTIFICATES. Neither the Trust nor any Series or Class
shall issue certificates certifying the ownership of Shares, unless the Trustees
may otherwise specifically authorize such certificates.
Section 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES. Shares shall be transferable only by a transfer
recorded on the books of the Trust by the Shareholder of record in person or by
his or her duly authorized attorney or legal representative. Shares may be
-6-
<PAGE>
freely transferred and the Trustees may, from time to time, adopt rules and
regulations regarding the method of transfer of such Shares.
ARTICLE VII
FISCAL YEAR AND ACCOUNTANT
Section 1. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Trust shall be determined by the
Trustees, provided, however, that the Trustees may from time to time change the
fiscal year.
Section 2. ACCOUNTANT. The Trust shall employ independent certified public
accountants as its Accountant to examine the accounts of the Trust and to sign
and certify financial statements filed by the Trust. The Accountant's
certificates and reports shall be addressed both to the Trustees and to the
Shareholders. A majority of the Disinterested Trustees shall select the
Accountant at any meeting held within ninety days before or after the beginning
of the fiscal year of the Trust, acting upon the recommendation of the Audit
Committee. The Trust shall submit the selection for ratification or rejection at
the next succeeding Shareholders' meeting, if such a meeting is to be held
within the Trust's fiscal year. If the selection is rejected at that meeting,
the Accountant shall be selected by majority vote of the Trust's outstanding
voting securities, either at the meeting at which the rejection occurred or at a
subsequent meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of selecting an
Accountant. The employment of the Accountant shall be conditioned upon the right
of the Trust to terminate such employment without any penalty by vote of a
Majority Shareholder Vote at any Shareholders' meeting called for that purpose.
ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENTS
These By-Laws, or any of them, may be altered, amended or repealed, or
new By-Laws may be adopted (a) by the Shareholders by a Majority Shareholder
Vote, or (b) by the Trustees, provided, however, that no By-Law may be amended,
adopted or repealed by the Trustees if such amendment, adoption or repeal
requires, pursuant to law, the Instrument or these By-Laws, a vote of the
Shareholders.
ARTICLE IX
NET ASSET VALUE
The term "Net Asset Value" of any Series shall mean that amount by
which the assets belonging to that Series exceed its liabilities, all as
determined by or under the direction of the Trustees. Net Asset Value per Share
shall be determined separately for each Series and shall be determined on such
days and at such times as the Trustees may determine. The Trustees shall make
such determination with respect to securities for which market quotations are
readily available, at the market value of such securities, and with respect to
other securities and assets, at the fair value as determined in good faith by
the Trustees; provided, however, that the Trustees, without Shareholder
approval, may alter the method of appraising portfolio securities insofar as
permitted under
-7-
<PAGE>
the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and interpretations thereof promulgated
or issued by the SEC or insofar as permitted by any order of the SEC applicable
to the Series. The Trustees may delegate any of their powers and duties under
this Article X with respect to appraisal of assets and liabilities. At any time
the Trustees may cause the Net Asset Value per Share last determined to be
determined again in a similar manner and may fix the time when such redetermined
values shall become effective.
