              SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED AUGUST 28, 1995
                       AS SUPPLEMENTED OCTOBER 31, 1995

    The information in the Prospectus under the headings "Summary: About the 
Portfolio" and "Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares" is amended to reflect 
that the MINIMUM INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE PORTFOLIO IS $2,000 with certain 
exceptions as may be determined from time to time by the officers of the 
Fund.  The initial investment minimum FOR IRA ACCOUNTS IS $500.  The initial 
investment minimum FOR SPOUSAL IRA ACCOUNTS IS $250.  The minimum FOR ANY 
SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENT IS $100.

    The information under the heading "Fund Management and Administration - 
Administrator" is replaced by the following:

    Pursuant to a Fund Administration Agreement dated April 15, 1996, UAM 
    Fund Services, Inc. ("UAMFSI") a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Asset 
    Management Corporation with its principal office located at 211 Congress 
    Street, Boston, MA  02110, is responsible for performing and overseeing 
    administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agency 
    services provided to the Fund and its Portfolios.  UAMFSI has subcontracted
    the performance of certain of such services to Chase Global Funds Services 
    Company ("CGFSC"), an affiliate of The Chase Manhattan Bank, pursuant to a 
    Mutual Funds Service Agreement dated April 15, 1996.  CGFSC is located at 
    73 Tremont Street, Boston, MA  02108-3913.  Effective April 1, 1996, The 
    Chase Manhattan Corporation, the parent of The Chase Manhattan Bank 
    merged with and into Chemical Banking Corporation, the parent company of 
    Chemical Bank. Chemical Banking Corporation is the surviving corporation 
    and will continue its existence under the name "The Chase Manhattan 
    Corporation". 

    Each Portfolio pays to UAMFSI a monthly fee comprised of two parts:  a 
    Portfolio-specific fee which is retained by UAMFSI and a 
    sub-administration fee which UAMFSI in turn pays to CGFSC. The 
    Portfolio-specific fees for the Chicago Asset Management Value/Contrarian 
    Portfolio are 0.06% of aggregate net assets. The sub-administration fee 
    calculated on an annualized basis equals: 0.19 of 1% of the first $200 
    million of total net assets of the Funds; 0.11 of 1% of the next $800 
    million of net assets of the Funds; 0.07 of 1% of total net assets in 
    excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; and 0.05 of 1% of total 
    net assets in excess of $3 billion. The sub-administration fees are 
    allocated among the Portfolios on the basis of their relative assets and 
    are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per Portfolio of $2,000 
    per month upon inception of a Portfolio to $70,000 annually after two 
    years. If a separate class of shares is added to a Portfolio, the minimum 
    annual fee payable by that Portfolio may be increased by up to $20,000.

    The information relating to the Portfolio's fee and expense information 
under the heading "Fees and Expenses" is amended to reflect that:

  * Until further notice, Chicago Asset Management Company has voluntarily 
    agreed to waive its advisory fee and to assume as the Adviser's own 
    expense certain operating expenses payable by the Portfolio, if 
    necessary, in order to keep the Portfolio's total annual operating 
    expenses (excluding interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from 
    exceeding 0.95% of average daily net assets. Absent the fees waived and 
    expenses assumed by the Adviser, annualized total operating expenses of 
    the Portfolio, including revised administrative fees, would be 1.89%. The 
    Portfolio will not reimburse the Adviser for any advisory fees which are 
    waived or Portfolio expenses which the Adviser may bear on behalf of the 
    Portfolio.

              INVESTMENT ADVISER: CHICAGO ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                         PROSPECTUS -- AUGUST 28, 1995
 
    Chicago  Asset Management Value/Contrarian  Portfolio is one  of a series of
investment portfolios  available through  The  Regis Fund  II (the  "Fund"),  an
open-end  investment company  known as a  "mutual fund." Each  of the Portfolios
that make up  the Fund  have different  investment objectives  and policies.  In
addition, several of the Fund's Portfolios offer two separate classes of shares:
Institutional  Class Shares  and Institutional  Service Class  Shares. Shares of
each class  represent  equal, pro  rata  interests  in a  Portfolio  and  accrue
dividends in the same manner except that Institutional Service Class Shares bear
certain  fees payable by that class  to financial institutions for services they
provide to the owners of such shares. Chicago Asset Management  Value/Contrarian
Portfolio  currently offers only one class  of shares. The securities offered in
this Prospectus  are  Institutional Class  Shares  of one  diversified,  no-load
Portfolio of the Fund managed by Chicago Asset Management Company.
 
    The  Chicago  Asset  Management  Value/Contrarian  Portfolio  seeks  capital
appreciation by investing primarily in the common stock of large companies.  The
common  stocks  in which  the Portfolio  invests are  generally ones  which have
performed poorly  over the  recent past  but which  may have  the potential  for
better-than-average  performance in the  future. There can  be no assurance that
the Portfolio will achieve its stated objective.
 
    Please keep  this Prospectus  for  future reference  since it  contains  the
information  that you should understand before you  invest. You may also wish to
review  Chicago   Asset   Management  Portfolios'   "Statement   of   Additional
Information"  dated  August 28,  1995 which  was filed  with the  Securities and
Exchange Commission and has been incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.
(It is legally considered to be a part of this Prospectus). Please call or write

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES  AND
   EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  OR ANY  STATE  SECURITIES COMMISSION  NOR  HAS THE

*Chicago Asset Management Company has  voluntarily agreed to waive its  advisory
 fees  or reimburse  expenses, if  necessary, in  order to  keep the Portfolio's
 total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses)
 from exceeding 0.950% of its average  daily net assets through April 30,  1996.
 If  it  were  not for  the  fee  waiver and/or  reimbursement,  the Portfolio's
 estimated total annual operating expenses would be 1.825% of average daily  net
 assets.  The Portfolio  will not  reimburse the  Adviser for  any advisory fees
 which are waived or Portfolio expenses which the Adviser may bear on behalf  of
 the Portfolio.
 
    The  fees  and  expenses  set  forth above  are  estimated  amounts  for the
Portfolio's first full year of operations  assuming average daily net assets  of
$10 million.

                       SUMMARY: ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO . . .
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
    The  Portfolio  seeks capital  appreciation  by investing  primarily  in the
common stock  of large  companies.  The common  stocks  in which  the  Portfolio
invests  are generally ones which have performed poorly over the recent past but
which may have the potential for better-than-average performance in the  future.
There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its stated objective.
 
HOW IS THE PORTFOLIO MANAGED?
 
    Chicago  Asset Management Company (the "Adviser") focuses mainly on choosing
individual stocks rather  than trying to  forecast the overall  strength of  the
stock  market. In particular, the Adviser  seeks to invest in large, established
quality companies whose stocks can be bought at attractive prices because of the
market's misperceptions about the companies' value.
 
    As a contrarian, the Adviser seeks to invest by going against the  consensus
opinion  on individual stocks. To  discover the appropriate contrarian position,
the Adviser stays in contact with stock market research analysts and takes their
assumptions into  account  in  determining whether  stocks  are  undervalued  or
overvalued. (See "Details on Investment Policies.")
 
WHO MANAGES THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The  Adviser is a  registered investment adviser  specializing in the active
management  of  stocks,  bonds   and  balanced  portfolios  for   institutional,
tax-exempt  clients. Founded in  1983, the firm is  a wholly-owned subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation. The Adviser currently has over $1.5 billion
in assets under management. (See "Fund Management and Administration.")
 
WHO SHOULD INVEST IN THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The  Portfolio  is  suitable  for  investors  who  seek  long-term   capital
appreciation  in  their investments  and who  are comfortable  with aggressively
seeking long-term returns. (See "Retirement Plans.")
 
HOW TO INVEST
 
    The Fund offers shares of beneficial  interest of the Portfolio through  RFI
Distributors,  a division of Regis Retirement  Plan Services, Inc., to investors
without a sales commission at net asset value next determined after the purchase
order is  received  in proper  form.  Share purchases  may  be made  by  sending
investments  directly  to  the  Fund. The  minimum  initial  investment  for the
Portfolio is $100,000;  the minimum  for subsequent investments  is $1,000.  The
officers  of the  Fund may  make certain exceptions  to the  initial and minimum
investment amounts. (See "Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares.")
 
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
    The  Portfolio  will  normally  distribute  substantially  all  of  its  net
investment  income in the form of  quarterly dividends. Any realized net capital
gains will also be distributed annually. Distributions will be reinvested in the
Portfolio's shares  automatically  unless an  investor  elects to  receive  cash
distributions. (See "Dividends, Capital Gains Distributions and Taxes.")
 
HOW TO REDEEM
 
    Shares  of the Portfolio  may be redeemed  on any business  day when the New
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is  open, without cost, at  the net asset value  of
the  Portfolio  next determined  after receipt  of  the redemption  request. The
Portfolio's share  price will  fluctuate with  market and  economic  conditions.
Therefore,  your investment may  be worth more  or less when  redeemed than when
purchased. (See "Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares.")
 
                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    Investing in  the Portfolio  entails a  number of  risks as  with any  stock
investment.  Like any  stock investment, shares  of the Portfolio  will rise and
fall in value  depending on market  perceptions of the  value of the  underlying
stocks.  Share prices may  also be affected  by overall market  movements and by
changes in sector or industry performance.
 
    In addition, you should consider the following factors that could effect the
Portfolio's rate of return:
 
    -The Portfolio may invest in  repurchase agreements which entail a  risk
     of loss should the seller default on its transaction.
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
    -The  Portfolio may lend its investment  securities which entails a risk
     of loss should a borrower fail financially.
 
    -The Portfolio may purchase securities  on a when-issued basis which  do
     not  earn interest until issued and may decline or appreciate in market
     value prior to their delivery to the Portfolio.
 
    -The Portfolio may  engage in various  strategies to seek  to hedge  its
     investments  against movements  in security prices,  interest rates and
     currency exchange rates by the use of derivatives including options and
     futures as well  as options  on futures. These  strategies involve  the
     risk  of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of options and
     futures and movements  in the  price of securities,  interest rates  or
     currencies  which are the subject of  the hedge. These transactions are
     also subject to  the risk factors  associated with foreign  investments
     generally. There can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market for
     options and futures contracts will exist at any specific time.
 
    -The  Portfolio's performance may  depend on the  ability of the Adviser
     who has substantial  experience as  an investment  adviser but  limited
     experience as an adviser to a mutual fund.
 
    -The  Portfolio may enter into interest rate hedging strategies commonly
     referred  to  as  derivatives  which,  if  employed  incorrectly,   may
     adversely affect the Portfolio.
 
    Further information about these risk factors is contained in the "Details on
Investment Policies" section of this Prospectus.

                            PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
 
    The Portfolio measures performance by calculating total return. Total return
figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future
performance.
 
    Total return is the change in value of an investment in the Portfolio over a
given period,  assuming  reinvestment of  any  dividends and  capital  gains.  A
cumulative  or aggregate total return reflects  actual performance over a stated
period of time. An average annual total return is a hypothetical rate of  return
that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if  performance had been  constant over the entire  period. Average annual total
returns smooth out variations  in performance; they are  not the same as  actual
year-by-year results.
 
    The  Portfolio's performance may be compared to data prepared by independent
services which monitor the performance of investment companies, data reported in
financial and industry publications, and various indices as further described in
the Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information.
 
    The Portfolio's Annual Report to Shareholders, which may be obtained without
charge, contains information about past  performance together with a  comparison
to an appropriate index.

                         DETAILS ON INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
    The   Portfolio  will  invest  primarily  in   the  common  stock  of  large
capitalization companies which are defined as those with equity  capitalizations
greater  than $1 billion at the time  of purchase. The Portfolio may also invest
in securities convertible into common  stock. There is no particular  percentage
of the Portfolio's assets to be invested in any one type of security, and it has
the  ability to purchase other securities  that may produce capital appreciation
such as non-convertible preferred stocks, rights and warrants to purchase common
stocks, and bonds. However, under normal circumstances, the Adviser  anticipates
no  more than 5% of the Portfolio's  total assets will be invested in investment
grade bonds which are generally considered to  be those bonds having one of  the
four  highest  grades assigned  by Moody's  Investors Service,  Inc. ("Moody's")
(Aaa, Aa, A  or Baa) or  Standard & Poor's  Corporation ("S&P") (AAA,  AA, A  or
BBB),  or  if unrated,  of  equivalent quality  in  the Adviser's  judgment. The
Adviser also reserves the right to retain securities which are downgraded by one
or both of the rating agencies, if  in the Adviser's judgment, the retention  of
securities  is warranted.  The Portfolio's  Statement of  Additional Information
contains a detailed description of corporate bond ratings.
 
    The Portfolio seeks to outperform the  market during most time periods,  not
by  taking advantages of shifts  in the overall direction  of the market, but by
identifying  attractive  stocks.   The  Portfolio  will   invest  primarily   in
established,  high-quality companies whose stock is selling at attractive prices
due to short-term market misperceptions.
 
    The Adviser's  investment  style is  categorized  as large  cap,  bottom-up,
value-oriented   and  contrarian.  Its  investment  philosophy  and  process  is
qualitative rather  than  quantitative, and  its  investment approach  has  four
distinguishing  characteristics.  First,  it  emphasizes  large  company stocks.
Second, it employs a bottom-up approach  which means that it will construct  the
Portfolio  by  focusing  on individual  stocks  rather than  industry  groups or
sectors. (Top-down investors would first decide which industries or sectors they
wanted to emphasize and then would look for stocks that fit those requirements.)
Third, it is  value-oriented. This  means that it  invests in  stocks which  are
priced  below  their true  value  because the  market  does not  recognize their
potential. And  fourth, it  is contrarian  in that  it goes  against the  common
consensus  when  it invests.  To maintain  an  effective contrarian  posture, it
closely  monitors  market  opinion  makers,   such  as  research  analysts   and
commentators,  and then evaluates the impact  of their opinions on stock prices,
in identifying securities which are undervalued or overvalued.
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
    The Adviser selects individual issues which  offer a combination of some  of
the following characteristics:
 
    -they are out-of-favor among market analysts;
 
    -they  are priced  below the mid-point  of their trading  range over the
     past year;
 
    -the issuing companies have maintained sound financial credit quality as
     measured by their balance sheets or they are expected to  significantly
     improve;
 
    -they are large companies with market values over $1 billion;
 
    -they   have   reasonable  (based   on  normalized   expected  earnings)
     price-to-earnings ratios; and
 
    -they pay or may become able to pay a dividend.
 
    When the  Adviser  believes  that  market  conditions  warrant  a  defensive
position,  up  to  100%  of the  Portfolio's  assets  may be  held  in  cash and
short-term investments. See "Short-Term  Investments and Repurchase  Agreements"
below  for a  description of  the types of  short-term instruments  in which the
Portfolio may invest for temporary defensive purposes. When the Portfolio is  in
a  defensive position, it may not  necessarily be pursuing its stated investment
objective.
 
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
    The Portfolio may also, under normal circumstances, invest up to 35% of  its
assets,  unless restricted by  additional limitations described  below or in the
Portfolio's Statement of  Additional Information, in  the following  securities,
investments or investment techniques.
 
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
 
    The  Portfolio  may invest  in foreign  securities which  involve additional
risks not  typically associated  with investing  in domestic  securities.  Since
securities  issued by foreign entities may be denominated in foreign currencies,
and the Portfolio may temporarily hold  uninvested reserves in bank deposits  in
foreign currencies, the Portfolio's value may rise or fall depending on currency
exchange  rates. The Portfolio may also have to  pay a fee to convert funds from
one currency to another.
 
    In  addition,  non-U.S.-based  companies  are   not  subject  to  the   same
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as are domestic companies
and  may have policies that  are not comparable to  those of domestic companies.
There may be less publicly-available information about non-U.S.-based  companies
which  may make  it difficult to  make investment decisions.  Securities of some
foreign companies are generally less liquid and more volatile than securities of
comparable domestic companies.  There is generally  less government  supervision
and  regulation of  stock exchanges,  brokers and  listed companies  than in the
United States. Political factors may have an impact in the form of  confiscatory
taxation, expropriation or political instability in international markets.
 
    Although  the Portfolio will seek the most favorable trading costs available
in any given  market, investors  should recognize that  foreign commissions  are
generally  higher  than  those  in the  United  States.  In  addition, custodial
expenses,  that  is,  fees  paid  to  financial  institutions  for  holding  the
Portfolio's  securities, will generally be higher than  would be the case in the
United States.
 
    Some foreign governments  also levy withholding  taxes against dividend  and
interest  income.  Although  in  some  countries  a  portion  of  the  taxes  is
recoverable, the non-recovered portion of foreign withholding taxes will  reduce
the income the Portfolio receives from the companies comprising its investments.
 
AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS
 
    The  Portfolio  intends  to  invest primarily  in  U.S.-based  companies. In
addition, the Portfolio may  purchase shares of foreign  based companies in  the
form  of American  Depositary Receipts  (ADRs). Investments  in ADRs,  which are
domestic securities representing ownership rights in foreign companies, will not
exceed 25% of  the Portfolio's  assets. ADRs  may be  sponsored or  unsponsored.
Sponsored  ADRs  are  established jointly  by  a depositary  and  the underlying
issuer, whereas unsponsored  ADR's may be  established without participation  by
the  underlying issuer.  Holders of  an unsponsored  ADR generally  bear all the
costs associated with  establishing the  unsponsored ADR. The  depositary of  an
unsponsored  ADR is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications
received from the  underlying issuer  or to pass  through voting  rights to  the
holders  of the unsponsored ADR with respect to the deposited securities or pool
of securities.
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
 
    In  order  to  earn  a   return  on  uninvested  assets,  meet   anticipated
redemptions,  or for  temporary defensive purposes,  the Portfolio  may invest a
portion of its assets in domestic and foreign money market instruments including
certificates of  deposit, bankers  acceptances, time  deposits, U.S.  government
obligations,  U.S.  government  agency  securities,  short-term  corporate  debt
securities, and commercial paper rated A-1 or  A-2 by S&P or Prime-1 or  Prime-2
by  Moody's  or, if  unrated,  determined by  the  Adviser to  be  of comparable
quality.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
    In a repurchase agreement,  the Portfolio purchases a  security and, at  the
same  time, arranges to sell  it back to the  original seller on a predetermined
date. The repurchase agreement states the price that the seller will pay for the
security plus the interest  rate that the purchaser  will receive while  holding
it.  In effect, the  Portfolio is lending its  funds to the  seller at an agreed
upon interest  rate  and  receiving  a security  as  collateral  for  the  loan.
Repurchase  agreements can  range from  overnight to  a fixed  term. They  are a
common way to earn interest on short-term funds.
 
    The seller under  a repurchase agreement  will be required  to maintain  the
value  of  the securities  subject to  the agreement  at not  less than  (1) the
repurchase price if such securities mature in  one year or less, or (2) 101%  of
the  repurchase  price if  such securities  mature  in more  than one  year. The
Administrator and  the  Adviser will  mark  to market  daily  the value  of  the
securities  purchased, and the Adviser will, if necessary, require the seller to
maintain additional securities to  ensure that the value  is in compliance  with
the previous sentence.
 
    There  are  some  risks involved  in  repurchase agreements.  If  the seller
defaults on its  agreement to buy  back the  securities and the  value of  those
securities  falls, the Portfolio may incur losses in selling these securities on
the open market. Also, if the seller enters bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court may
decide that  the  securities  are  collateral not  within  the  control  of  the
Portfolio  and therefore are subject  to sale by the  Trustee in the bankruptcy.
Finally, it  is  possible that  the  Portfolio may  not  be able  to  prove  its
ownership of the underlying securities.
 
    The  Adviser  believes  that  these risks  can  be  controlled  by carefully
reviewing the  securities involved  in a  repurchase agreement  as well  as  the
credit rating of the other party in the transaction. The Portfolio may invest in
repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities, certificates
of  deposit,  bankers acceptances  and other  short-term securities  as outlined
above under "Short-Term Investments".
 
WHEN-ISSUED, FORWARD DELIVERY AND DELAYED SETTLEMENT SECURITIES
 
    Occasionally, the  Portfolio  will  invest in  securities  whose  terms  and
characteristics  are already known but which have not yet been issued. These are
called "when-issued" or "forward delivery" securities. Usually these  securities
are  purchased within a  month of their issue  date. "Delayed settlements" occur
when the Portfolio agrees to buy or sell securities at some time in the  future,
making no payment until the transaction is actually completed.
 
    The  Portfolio will  maintain a  separate account  of cash,  U.S. government
securities or other high-grade debt obligations  at least equal to the value  of
the  purchase commitments until payment is made. Typically, no income accrues on
securities purchased on a delayed delivery  basis prior to the time delivery  of
the  securities is made although the Portfolio  may earn income on securities it
has deposited in a segregated account.
 
    The Portfolio engages in these types of purchases in order to buy securities
that fit with its investment objective  at attractive prices -- not to  increase
its investment leverage.
 
    Securities  purchased on  a when-issued basis  may decline  or appreciate in
market value prior to their actual delivery to the Portfolio.
 
HEDGING AND RELATED STRATEGIES AND RISK CONSIDERATIONS
 
    To reduce the overall risk of its investments (hedge), the Portfolio may use
options, futures contracts, options on  futures contracts, and forward  currency
contracts.  These instruments are  commonly referred to  as derivatives. Hedging
strategies may also be used in an attempt to manage the Portfolio's exposure  to
changing  interest  rates,  security  prices and  currency  exchange  rates. The
Portfolio's ability to use these strategies may be limited by market conditions,
regulatory limits and tax considerations. The Portfolio's obligation under  such
hedging  strategies will be  covered by the maintenance  of a segregated account
consisting of cash, U.S.  government securities or  high grade debt  obligations
equal  to at least 100% of the  Portfolio's commitment. The Portfolio may buy or
sell futures contracts, write covered call options and buy put and call  options
on any security, index or currency including
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
options  and  futures traded  on  foreign exchanges  and  options not  traded on
exchanges. The Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information contains  further
information on all of these strategies and the risks associated with them.
 
    The  Portfolio  may  write  or  purchase  options  in  privately  negotiated
transactions ("OTC  Options") as  well as  listed options.  OTC Options  can  be
closed  out only by agreement  with the other party  to the transaction. Any OTC
Option purchased by the  Portfolio is considered an  illiquid security. Any  OTC
Option  written by the Portfolio will be  with a qualified dealer pursuant to an
agreement under  which the  Portfolio may  repurchase the  option at  a  formula
price. Such options are considered illiquid to the extent that the formula price
exceeds  the intrinsic value  of the option.  The Portfolio may  not purchase or
sell futures contracts or related options for which the aggregate initial margin
and premiums exceed 5% of  the fair market value  of the Portfolio's assets.  In
order  to prevent leverage in connection  with the purchase of futures contracts
or call options thereon by the Portfolio, an amount of cash, cash equivalents or
liquid high grade debt  securities equal to the  market value of the  obligation
under  the futures contracts or options  (less any related market deposits) will
be maintained  in a  segregated  account with  the  Fund's Custodian  Bank.  The
Portfolio  may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities
and repurchase agreements  which have a  maturity of longer  than seven days.  A
more  complete discussion  of the  potential risks  involved in  transactions in
options or futures contracts and related options is contained in the Portfolio's
Statement of Additional Information.
 
    The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts for the purchase  or
sale  of a specified currency at a  specified future date either with respect to
specific transactions or with respect to portfolio positions. For example,  when
the  Adviser anticipates  making a  currency exchange  transaction in connection
with the purchase or sale of a security, the Portfolio may enter into a  forward
contract  in order  to set the  exchange rate  at which the  transaction will be
made. The Portfolio also may enter into a forward contract to sell an amount  of
a  foreign currency approximating  the value of  some or all  of the Portfolio's
securities denominated in such currency.
 
    The Portfolio  may use  forward contracts  in one  currency or  a basket  of
currencies  to hedge against fluctuations in  the value of another currency when
the Adviser anticipates there will be a correlation between the two and may  use
forward currency contracts to shift the Portfolio's exposure to foreign currency
fluctuations  from one  country to another.  The purpose of  entering into these
contracts is to minimize the risk to  the Portfolio from adverse changes in  the
relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies.
 
    The  Portfolio may enter  into interest rate  protection transactions, which
consist of interest rate swaps and  interest rate caps, collars and floors,  for
hedging  purposes. These transactions are commonly referred to as derivatives. A
swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for  the
return  generated by  another instrument. The  swaps in which  the Portfolio may
also engage include interest rate caps, floors and collars under which one party
pays a single or periodic  fixed amount (or premium),  and the other party  pays
periodic amounts on movement of a specified index.
 
    The  Portfolio  may  enter  into interest  rate  protection  transactions to
preserve a  return  or spread  on  a particular  investment  or portion  of  its
portfolio  or to  protect against  any increase  in the  price of  securities it
anticipates purchasing at a later date.  The Portfolio will enter into  interest
rate  protection transactions only with  banks and recognized securities dealers
believed by  the Adviser  to present  minimal credit  risks in  accordance  with
guidelines  established by  the Fund's Board  of Trustees.  Interest rate swaps,
caps, floors  and  collars will  be  treated  as illiquid  securities  and  will
therefore,  be  subject  to  the  Portfolio's  investment  restriction  limiting
investment in illiquid securities to no greater than 15% of its net assets.
 
    RISK CONSIDERATIONS.   The Portfolio  might not  employ any  of the  hedging
strategies described above, and there can be no assurance that any strategy used
will succeed. If the Adviser incorrectly forecasts interest rates, market values
or other economic factors in utilizing a hedging strategy for the Portfolio, the
Portfolio  would  be in  a  better position  if  it had  not  hedged at  all. In
addition, the Portfolio will pay commissions and other costs in connection  with
such  hedging strategies which may increase  the Portfolio's expenses and reduce
its return.
 
    The use of these strategies involves  certain risks, including (1) the  fact
that skills needed to use hedging instruments are different from those needed to
select  the Portfolio's securities, (2)  possible imperfect correlation, or even
no correlation,  between  price  movements  of  hedging  instruments  and  price
movements  of the  investments being  hedged, (3)  the fact  that, while hedging
strategies can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for
gain, or  even result  in losses,  by offsetting  favorable price  movements  in
hedged  investments and (4) the possible  inability of the Portfolio to purchase
or  sell   a  security   at   a  time   that   otherwise  would   be   favorable
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
for  it to do so, or the possible need for the Portfolio to sell a security at a
disadvantageous time due to the need for it to maintain "cover" or to  segregate
securities in connection with hedging transactions and the possible inability of
the Portfolio to close out or to liquidate its hedged position.
 
RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES
 
    The Portfolio may purchase restricted securities that are not registered for
sale  to  the general  public but  which  are eligible  for resale  to qualified
institutional investors under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under the
supervision of  the  Fund's  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Adviser  determines  the
liquidity of such investments by considering all relevant factors. Provided that
a  dealer  or  institutional trading  market  in such  securities  exists, these
restricted securities are not treated as illiquid securities for purposes of the
Portfolio's investment limitations. The Portfolio may  also invest up to 15%  of
its  net assets in  securities that are illiquid  by virtue of  the absence of a
readily available  market or  because of  legal or  contractual restrictions  on
resale.  The prices realized  from the sales  of these securities  could be less
than those originally paid by the Portfolio or less than what may be  considered
the fair value of such securities.
 
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
 
    The  Portfolio may lend its investment securities to qualified institutional
investors  who  need  to  borrow   securities  in  order  to  complete   certain
transactions,  such  as  covering  short  sales,  avoiding  failures  to deliver
securities or  completing  arbitrage operations.  The  Portfolio will  not  loan
portfolio  securities to the extent that greater than one-third of its assets at
fair market  value, would  be  committed to  loans.  By lending  its  investment
securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its income through the receipt of
interest  on the loan.  Any gain or loss  in the market  price of the securities
loaned that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account  of
the  Portfolio. The  Portfolio may lend  its investment  securities to qualified
brokers, dealers, domestic and foreign banks or other financial institutions, so
long as the terms, the structure and the aggregate amount of such loans are  not
inconsistent  with the Investment  Company Act of  1940 (the "1940  Act") or the
Rules  and  Regulations  or  interpretations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  (the "Commission") thereunder, which  currently require that (a) the
borrower pledge and maintain with  the Portfolio collateral consisting of  cash,
an  irrevocable letter of  credit issued by  a domestic U.S.  bank or securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government having a value at all times not less
than 100% of the value  of the securities loaned, (b)  the borrower add to  such
collateral whenever the price of the securities loaned rises (i.e., the borrower
"marks  to  the market"  on a  daily basis),  (c)  the loan  be made  subject to
termination by  the  Portfolio at  any  time,  and (d)  the  Portfolio  receives
reasonable  interest on the loan (which  may include the Portfolio investing any
cash collateral in interest bearing short-term investments). All relevant  facts
and  circumstances,  including the  creditworthiness  of the  broker,  dealer or
institution, will be considered in making decisions with respect to the  lending
of securities, subject to review by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
    At  the present  time, the  Staff of  the Commission  does not  object if an
investment company pays  reasonable negotiated  fees in  connection with  loaned
securities so long as such fees are set forth in a written contract and approved
by  the investment company's  Board of Trustees. The  Portfolio will continue to
retain any voting rights  with respect to the  loaned securities. If a  material
event  occurs affecting an investment on a loan, the loan must be called and the
securities voted.
 
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
 
    This Portfolio is managed for long-term appreciation, rather than short-term
trading profits. As a result, the Adviser seeks to keep portfolio turnover below
60%. (A turnover rate of  100% would mean that  all securities in the  Portfolio
would be replaced within a one-year period.) However, portfolio turnover depends
to  a great  degree on market  conditions. Occasionally, when  the market shifts
suddenly or when the prospects for individual stocks change quickly, the Adviser
may find it necessary to  sell securities which have  not been in the  Portfolio
for very long. The Portfolio will not normally engage in short-term trading, but
it reserves the right to do so.
 
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
 
    To  help reduce the Portfolio's exposure  to risk in specific situations, it
has adopted certain limitations associated  with its investments and  investment
practices.  These  policies  and  limitations  are  considered  at  the  time of
purchase. The sale of instruments is not  required in the event of a  subsequent
change in circumstances.
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
    The Portfolio's limitations are as follows:
 
         (a)
       With respect to 75% of its assets, the Portfolio may not own more than 5%
       of  the securities of any single issuer (other than investments issued or
       guaranteed  by  the   U.S.  Government   or  any  of   its  agencies   or
       instrumentalities);
 
         (b)
       With  respect to 75% of  its assets, the Portfolio  may not own more than
       10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer;
 
         (c)
       The Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its assets in securities  of
       issuers  (other  than  securities issued  or  guaranteed by  the  U.S. or
       foreign governments  or their  political  subdivisions) that  have  (with
       predecessors) less than 3 years of continuous operation;
 
         (d)
       The  Portfolio may not  invest more than  25% of its  assets in companies
       within  a  single  industry;  however,   there  are  no  limitations   on
       investments  made  in  instruments  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.
       Government and its agencies;
 
         (e)
       The Portfolio may not make loans except by purchasing debt securities  in
       accordance  with its investment  objective and policies  or entering into
       repurchase agreements or  by lending its  portfolio securities to  banks,
       brokers, dealers or other financial institutions as long as the loans are
       made  in  compliance with  the 1940  Act and  the rules,  regulations and
       interpretations of the Commission;
 
         (f)
       The  Portfolio  may  not  borrow  except  from  banks  in   extraordinary
       circumstances for temporary or emergency purposes. In this situation, the
       Portfolio  may not (1) borrow  more than 33 1/3%  of its total assets and
       (2) cannot buy additional  securities if it borrows  more than 5% of  its
       total assets; and
 
         (g)
       Pledge,  mortgage or hypothecate more than 33 1/3% of its total assets at
       fair market value.
 
    The Portfolio's investment  objective and investment  limitations (a),  (b),
(d), (e) and (f.1) listed above are fundamental policies and may be changed only
with  the  approval of  the  holders of  a  majority of  the  outstanding voting
securities of the  Portfolio. The other  investment limitations described  here,
those  not specified as fundamental in  the Statement of Additional Information,
and the  Portfolio's investment  policies are  not fundamental,  and the  Fund's
Board of Trustees may change them without shareholder approval.
 
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
 
    The  Portfolio's  Investment Advisory  Agreement  authorizes the  Adviser to
select the  brokers or  dealers that  will execute  the purchases  and sales  of
investment  securities for the  Portfolio. The Agreement  directs the Adviser to
use its  best efforts  to obtain  the best  available price  and most  favorable
execution for all the Portfolio's transactions.
 
    It  is not  the Fund's  practice to  allocate brokerage  or effect principal
transactions with dealers  on the basis  of sales  of shares which  may be  made
through  broker-dealer firms.  However, the  Adviser may  place Portfolio orders
with qualified broker-dealers who recommend the  Portfolio or who act as  agents
in the purchase of shares of the Portfolio for their clients.
 
    Some  securities  considered for  investment by  the  Portfolio may  also be
appropriate for other clients served  by the Adviser. If  a purchase or sale  of
securities  is consistent with the investment  policies of the Portfolio and one
or more of these other clients served  by the Adviser is considered at or  about
the  same  time, transactions  in such  securities will  be allocated  among the
Portfolio and clients  in a  fair and reasonable  manner. Although  there is  no
specified  formula  for  allocating such  transactions,  the  various allocation
methods used by the Adviser, and the result of such allocations, are subject  to
periodic review by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
                     BUYING, SELLING AND EXCHANGING SHARES
 
    Shares  of the Portfolio are offered through RFI Distributors, a division of
Regis Retirement Plan Services, Inc., to investors at net asset value without  a
sales  commission.  The minimum  initial  investment is  $100,000,  with certain
exceptions determined from time to time by the officers of the Fund. The minimum
for subsequent investments is $1,000.
 
    Shares of the Portfolio may be  purchased by customers of broker-dealers  or
other  financial  intermediaries  ("Service Agents")  which  have  established a
shareholder servicing relationship with the  Fund on behalf of their  customers.
Service  Agents may impose  additional or different  conditions or other account
fees on the purchase and redemption of Portfolio shares by their customers. Each
Service Agent is responsible for transmitting to its
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
customers a schedule of any such  fees and information regarding any  additional
or  different conditions  regarding purchases and  redemptions. Shareholders who
are  customers  of  Service  Agents  should  consult  their  Service  Agent  for
information  regarding  these fees  and conditions.  Certain Service  Agents may
receive compensation from the Fund, the Fund's Distributor, the Adviser, or  any
of  the Adviser's  affiliates. A  salesperson and  any other  person entitled to
receive compensation  for  selling or  servicing  Portfolio shares  may  receive
different  compensation  with respect  to one  particular  class of  shares over
another in the Fund.
 
    Service Agents  may  enter confirmed  purchase  orders on  behalf  of  their
customers.  If you buy shares of the Portfolio in this manner, the Service Agent
must receive your investment order before the  close of trading on the NYSE  and
transmit  it to  the Fund's Transfer  Agent prior  to the close  of the Transfer
Agent's business day and  to the Distributor to  receive the day's share  price.
Proper  payment for the  order must be  received by the  Transfer Agent no later
than the  time when  the Portfolio  is  priced on  the following  business  day.
Service  Agents  are responsible  to their  customers, the  Fund and  the Fund's
Distributor for timely transmission of all subscription and redemption requests,
investment information, documentation and money.

sure  that your account number, account name,  and the name of the Portfolio are
clearly indicated on the check so that we can properly credit your account.
 
    For both initial and additional investments, your funds will be credited  to
your account at the next share price calculated for the Portfolio after receipt.
Investments  received by 4:00  p.m. Eastern Time  will be invested  at the share
price calculated after the market closes on the same day. (For example, if  your
check  arrives  on  Tuesday  morning,  you will  purchase  shares  at  the price
calculated after the market closes on Tuesday.)
 
HOW TO BUY SHARES BY WIRE
 
    To make an initial investment by wire, you must first telephone the Fund  at
1-800-638-7983. A representative will then ask you to provide the account number
from  which you plan to  wire the funds, the  bank or financial institution, its
address, phone  number  and  your social  security  or  taxpayer  identification
number. You will then tell the representative which Portfolio you wish to invest
in  and how much  you want to  invest. The representative  will then provide you
with an account number. Please write it down and keep it for your records.
 
    Once you have an account number, call your bank and instruct them to wire  a
specified  amount to the Fund's custodian,  Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York ("Custodian Bank"). You will be asked to provide the following information:
 
                   Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
                               New York, NY 10015

                              DDA Acct.# 00166786
                            F/B/O The Regis Fund II
            Ref: Chicago Asset Management Value/Contrarian Portfolio
                              Your account number:
                          ----------------------------
                               Your account name:
                         ------------------------------
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
    After you have instructed  the bank to  wire the money,  you must forward  a
completed  Account  Registration Form  to The  Regis Service  Center as  soon as
possible.  You  can  obtain  forms  by  calling  The  Regis  Service  Center  at
1-800-638-7983.  Federal Funds purchases will be  accepted only on days when the
NYSE and the Custodian Bank are open for business.
 
    Once you have made  the initial purchase, you  may buy additional shares  by
wire  at any time by  following the instructions above.  On all wired purchases,
funds will  be invested  at the  share price  calculated after  the next  market
close.
 
IN-KIND PURCHASES
 
    Under  certain circumstances,  investors who own  securities may  be able to
exchange them  directly for  shares of  the Portfolio  without converting  their
investments  into cash first.  The Portfolio will  accept such in-kind purchases
only if  the securities  offered for  exchange meet  the Portfolio's  investment
criteria  which are set forth in the "Details on Investment Policies" section of
this Prospectus.  Once accepted,  the shares  will be  valued according  to  the
process  described in  "How Share  Prices are Determined"  at the  same time the
Portfolio's shares are  valued. Once a  value has been  determined for both,  an
exchange  will be made.  All dividends, interest,  subscription, or other rights
pertaining to these securities  become the Fund's property;  if you receive  any
such  items, you must deliver them  to the Fund immediately. Securities acquired
through an in-kind purchase will be acquired for investment and not for resale.
 
    The Fund  will not  accept  securities for  exchange  unless they  meet  the
following criteria:
 
    -The  securities are eligible to be included in the Portfolio and market
     quotes can readily be  obtained for them as  evidenced by a listing  on
     the American Stock Exchange, the NYSE or NASDAQ or are bonds rated Aaa,
     Aa, A or Baa by Moody's or AAA, AA, A or BBB by S&P.
 
    -The  investor assures the  Fund that the securities  are not subject to
     any restrictions under the Securities Act  of 1933 or any other law  or
     regulation.
 
    -The value of the securities exchanged does not increase the Portfolio's
     position  in  any specific  issuer's security  to more  than 5%  of the
     Portfolio's net assets.
 
    For tax purposes, the  IRS generally treats any  exchange of securities  for
Portfolio  shares as a sale  of the securities. This  means that if you exchange
securities which  have appreciated  in value  since you  bought them,  you  will
realize  capital gains and incur a tax  liability. If you are interested in such
an exchange, we suggest  you discuss any potential  tax liability with your  tax
adviser before proceeding.
 
RETIREMENT PLANS
 
    The  Portfolio is also suitable for individual tax-deferred retirement plans
including 401(k) Defined Contribution Plans and IRA Contributions or Rollovers.
 
HOW TO SELL SHARES
 
    You may sell shares by telephone or  mail at any time, free of charge.  Your
shares  will  be valued  at  the next  price  calculated after  we  receive your
instructions to sell.
 
BY MAIL
 
    To redeem by mail, include:
 
    -your share certificates, if we have issued them to you;
 
    -a letter  which  tells  us how  many  shares  you wish  to  redeem  or,
     alternatively, what dollar amount you wish to receive;
 
    -a  signature  guaranteed  by  your  bank,  broker  or  other  financial
     institution (see "Signature Guarantees" below); and
 
    -any other necessary legal  documents, in the  case of estates,  trusts,
     guardianships, custodianships, corporations, pension and profit-sharing
     plans and other organizations.
 
    If  you  are not  sure which  documents  to send,  please contact  The Regis
Service Center at 1-800-638-7983.
 
BY TELEPHONE
 
    To  redeem  shares  by  telephone,  you  must  have  completed  an   Account
Registration  Form and have returned it to the  Fund. Once this form is on file,
simply call the  Fund and  request the  redemption amount  to be  mailed to  you
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
or  wired  to your  bank. The  Fund and  the Fund's  Transfer Agent  will employ
reasonable precautions  to  make  sure that  the  instructions  communicated  by
telephone   are  genuine.  You  will  be   asked  to  provide  certain  personal
identification when you open an account, and again, when you request a telephone
redemption. In addition, all telephone transaction requests will be recorded and
investors may be required to provide additional telecopied written  instructions
of  such transaction requests. Neither  the Fund nor the  Transfer Agent will be
responsible for any loss, additional cost or expense for following  instructions
received  by telephone  that it reasonably  believes are genuine.  To change the
name of the  commercial bank  or the  account designated  to receive  redemption
proceeds, a written request must be sent to the Fund at the address on the cover
of  this Prospectus. Requests  to change the  bank or account  must be signed by
each shareholder and each signature must be guaranteed. You cannot redeem shares
by telephone if you hold stock certificates for these shares. Please contact one
of the Fund's representatives at 1-800-638-7983 for further details.
 
SIGNATURE GUARANTEES
 
    To protect your account, the Fund and the Fund's Transfer Agent from  fraud,
signature  guarantees are required for certain redemptions. Signature guarantees
are used to verify that the person who authorizes a redemption is, in fact,  the
registered shareholder. They are required whenever you:
 
    -redeem  shares and request  that the proceeds be  sent to someone other
     than the registered shareholder(s)  or to an address  which is not  the
     registered address; or
 
    -transfer shares from one Portfolio to another.
 
    Signatures  must  be guaranteed  by an  "eligible guarantor  institution" as
defined in Rule 17Ad-15  under the Securities Exchange  Act of 1934. (The  Regis
Service  Center can  provide you with  a full  definition of the  term.) You can
obtain a  signature  guarantee at  almost  any bank,  as  well as  through  most
brokers,  dealers,  credit  unions,  national  securities  exchanges, registered
securities   associations,   clearing   agencies   and   savings   associations.
Broker-dealers   guaranteeing  signatures  must  be   a  member  of  a  clearing
corporation or maintain net capital of at least $100,000. Credit unions must  be
authorized  to issue signature guarantees. Signature guarantees will be accepted
from any  eligible  guarantor  institution which  participates  in  a  signature
guarantee program. A notary public can not provide a signature guarantee.
 
    The signature guarantee must appear either:
 
    -on the written request for redemption; or
 
    -on  a separate instrument for assignment (a "stock power") which should
     specify the total number of shares to be redeemed; or
 
    -on all stock certificates tendered for redemption, and, if shares  held
     by the Fund are also being redeemed, then on the letter or stock power.
 
FURTHER INFORMATION ON SELLING SHARES
 
    Normally,  the  Fund  will  make  payment for  all  shares  sold  under this
procedure within one business day after we  receive a request. In no event  will
payment  be  made more  than seven  days  after receipt  of a  redemption (sale)
request in good order. The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or  postpone
the date at times when both the NYSE and Custodian Bank are closed, or under any
emergency circumstances as determined by the Commission.
 
    If  the Fund's Board of Trustees determines  that it would be detrimental to
the best interests of  the remaining shareholders of  the Fund to make  payments
wholly  or partly in cash, the Fund may  pay the redemption proceeds in whole or
in part by  a distribution in-kind  of liquid securities  held by the  Portfolio
instead of cash in conformity with applicable rules of the Commission. Investors
may  incur brokerage  charges when  they sell  portfolio securities  received in
payment of redemptions.
 
HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES
 
    You may exchange Institutional Class Shares  of the Portfolio for any  other
Institutional  Class Shares of a Portfolio included in The Regis Family of Funds
which is comprised of The Regis Fund, Inc. and The Regis Fund II. (See the  list
of  Portfolios of The Regis Family of Funds -- Institutional Class Shares at the
end of this Prospectus.) When you exchange shares, you sell your old shares  and
buy new ones, both at the price calculated after the next market close. There is
no sales charge for exchanges. Exchange requests may be made by phone or letter.
Telephone  exchanges may be made  only if the Fund  holds all share certificates
and if the registration  of the two accounts  is identical. Telephone  exchanges
received  before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be processed at the share price set
after the market  closes on  the same day.  Exchanges received  after 4:00  p.m.
Eastern Time will be
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
executed at the share price determined at the market close on the following day.
For  additional  information regarding  responsibility  for the  authenticity of
telephoned transaction instructions, see  "How to Sell  Shares -- By  Telephone"
above.  The Fund may also  limit both the frequency  and the amount of exchanges
permitted if it  is in  the interest of  the Fund's  shareholders. The  exchange
privilege  is only available with respect  to Portfolios that are registered for
sale in a shareholder's state of residence.
 
    Please review a Portfolio's investment objective before shifting money  into
it. Make sure its objective and strategies fit with your long-term goals. Before
exchanging  into a Portfolio,  read its Prospectus.  You may obtain  one for the
Portfolio(s) you  are interested  in  by calling  The  Regis Service  Center  at
1-800-638-7983.  Remember, every time  you exchange shares  of one Portfolio for
another, your transaction  is counted  as a  sale of  the first  security and  a
purchase of the second. As a result, you may incur a tax liability by exchanging
shares  if your investment has appreciated since you bought it. Consult your tax
adviser to determine your liability for capital gains taxes.
 
                        HOW SHARE PRICES ARE DETERMINED
 
    The value of each share  of the Portfolio is  calculated every day that  the
NYSE  is  open.  This means  that  shares  are valued  after  the  market close,
generally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time  on Monday through Friday, except for  major
holidays when the NYSE is closed.
 
    The value of each share is determined by adding up the total market value of
all  the  securities in  the  Portfolio plus  cash  and other  assets, deducting
liabilities and then dividing by the total number of shares outstanding.
 
    For stocks, we use the  last quoted trading price  as the market value.  For
listed  stocks, we use  the price quoted by  the exchange on  which the stock is
primarily traded. Unlisted stocks and listed  stocks which have not been  traded
on  the valuation date or for which  market quotations are not readily available
are valued at a price between the last  price asked and the last price bid.  For
valuation  purposes, quotations of foreign securities  in a foreign currency are
converted to U.S. dollar equivalents based upon the bid price of such currencies
against U.S. dollars quoted by any major bank or by a broker.
 
    The value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
available (including restricted securities) is determined in good faith at  fair
value using methods determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
                DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
 
DIVIDENDS
 
    Stocks generate income in the form of dividends. The Portfolio will normally
distribute substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders in the
form  of  quarterly dividends.  This  means that  the  amount of  income  net of
expenses each share  has earned  over the past  quarter will  be determined  and
subtracted from the total share value. The net income is then either distributed
to  you in  cash or  reinvested in  Portfolio shares  at the  new after-dividend
price, depending on your instructions to the Portfolio. Unless you  specifically
tell  us to distribute dividend income in cash, however, we will assume you want
this income reinvested. By law,  you must pay taxes  on any dividend income  you
receive on your investments whether distributed in cash or reinvested in shares.
The  Portfolio will  send you  a statement at  the end  of the  year telling you
exactly how much dividend income you have earned for tax purposes.
 
CAPITAL GAINS
 
    Capital  gains  are  another  source  of  appreciation  to  the   Portfolio.
Basically,  a capital  gain is  an increase  in the  value of  a stock  or bond.
However, for  tax purposes,  the Portfolio  does not  "realize" a  capital  gain
unless it sells a stock or bond which has appreciated.
 
    You  can incur  capital gains in  two ways.  First, if the  Portfolio buys a
stock or bond at one price, then sells  it at a higher price, it will realize  a
capital  gain. At the end of the year,  the capital gains the Portfolio has made
are added up and  capital losses are  subtracted. If any  net capital gains  are
realized,  the Portfolio will normally distribute  such gains annually. You will
receive a statement at the  end of the year informing  you of your share of  the
Portfolio's capital gains.
 
    The second way to incur capital gains is to sell or exchange your shares. If
you  sell  shares  at a  higher  price than  you  bought  them at,  you  will be
responsible for paying taxes on your  gain. There are several ways to  determine
your  tax liability, and we suggest you  contact a qualified tax adviser to help
you decide which is best for you.
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
TAXES
 
    The Portfolio  intends  to qualify  each  year as  a  "regulated  investment
company"  under Federal tax law, and if  it qualifies, the Portfolio will not be
liable for Federal income  taxes, because it will  have distributed all its  net
investment  income and net realized  capital gains to shareholders. Shareholders
will then have to pay taxes on  dividends, whether they are distributed as  cash
or  are reinvested in shares, and on net short-term capital gains. Dividends and
short-term capital gains  will be  taxed as ordinary  income. Long-term  capital
gains  distributions are  taxed as long-term  capital gains.  Such dividends and
distributions may be subject to state and local taxes. Redemptions of shares  in
the  Portfolio are taxable events for Federal income tax purposes. A shareholder
may also be subject to state and local taxes on such redemptions.
 
    Dividends declared  in October,  November and  December to  shareholders  of
record  in such a month will be treated as if they had been paid by the Fund and
received by the shareholders on December 31 of the same calendar year,  provided
that the dividends are paid before February of the following year.
 
    The  Fund is required by Federal law  to withhold 31% of reportable payments
(which may include dividends, capital gains distributions and redemptions)  paid
to  shareholders who have not  complied with IRS regulations.  In order to avoid
this withholding requirement, you must certify on the Account Registration  Form
or on a separate form supplied by the Fund that your Social Security or Taxpayer
Identification  Number  you  have  provided  is correct  and  that  you  are not
currently subject  to backup  withholding or  that you  are exempt  from  backup
withholding.
 
    Dividends   and  interest  received  by  the  Portfolio  may  give  rise  to
withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. These taxes reduce the
Portfolio's dividends but are  included in the taxable  income reported on  your
tax  statement if the Portfolio  qualifies for this tax  treatment and elects to
pass it through to  you. You may be  able to claim an  offsetting tax credit  or
itemized  deduction for foreign taxes paid  by the Portfolio. Your tax statement
will generally show the amount  of foreign tax for  which a credit or  deduction
may be available.
 
                       FUND MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
    Chicago  Asset Management Company (the "Adviser") is a registered investment
adviser formed in  1983. Its  business offices are  located at  70 West  Madison
Street,  56th Floor, Chicago, IL 60602. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of United  Asset  Management  Corporation and  provides  and  offers  investment
management   and  advisory  services  to   corporations,  unions,  pensions  and
profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates and other institutions and investors.  The
Adviser currently has over $1.5 billion in assets under management.
 
    The  Portfolio pays an annual fee in monthly installments to the adviser for
advisory services. This fee is accrued daily and paid monthly as a percentage of
the average daily net assets in the Portfolio for that month. The percentage fee
on an annual basis is 0.625%.
 
    The Adviser may compensate its affiliated companies for referring  investors
to  the Portfolio. The Adviser and its  parent company may also make payments to
unaffiliated brokers who perform distribution, marketing, shareholder and  other
services with respect to the Portfolio.
 
    The  investment professionals at the  Adviser responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Portfolio and their qualifications are as follows:

presented are not intended to predict or suggest the return to be experienced by
the Portfolio  or the  return an  investor  might achieve  by investing  in  the
Portfolio.  Results may  differ because of,  among other  things, differences in
brokerage commissions, account expenses, including investment advisory fees, the
size of  positions  taken  in  relation  to  account  size,  diversification  of
securities,  timing  of  purchases  and  sales,  availability  of  cash  for new
investments and  the  private  character  of  the  accounts  compared  with  the
Portfolio  and  its shareholders.  Investors  should be  aware  that the  use of
methods of determining performance different  from that used below could  result
in  different  performance  data. Investors  should  not rely  on  the following
performance data. The performance  data shown is that  of the Adviser's  private
accounts and is not indicative of the Portfolio's future performance.

    This  performance  presentation conforms  to  the Association  of Investment
Management Research  Standards and  is in  compliance on  a going-forward  basis
beginning  January  1,  1993.  Results  prior to  January  1,  1993  are  not in
compliance, the only difference being the use of end-of-period values to  weight
portfolios instead of beginning-of-period values.
 
    The  Standard  &  Poor's  500  Index is  an  unmanaged  index  which assumes
reinvestment of dividends  and is  generally considered  representative of  U.S.
large  capitalization stocks.  All Chicago Asset  Management Company performance
figures reflect reinvested interest income and dividends and a 0.4% deduction of
investment advisory fees. A client's return will be reduced by the advisory fees
and other expenses  it may incur  in the management  of its investment  advisory
account.
 
    An  actual fee charged to an individual  portfolio may vary by size and type
of fund. On a worst case basis,  annual performance could be reduced by as  much
as  1% as a result of a management  fee. This could have a compounding effect if
extended over several years.
 
    The equity-only composite included every equity account as of June 30, 1995.
No accounts were excluded. As of June  30, 1995, this composite included all  31
equity  portfolios,  including the  equity-only  portions of  balanced accounts,
totaling  $1.1   billion,   which  is   100%   of  the   equity   assets   under
management/advisory.   Because   this   is   an   equity-only   composite,  cash
reserves/equivalents are  not  included.  Leverage  has not  been  used  in  any
portfolios  included in this composite. A list  of all composites of the firm is
available upon request.

                            GENERAL FUND INFORMATION
 
    The  Portfolio is one of a series of investment portfolios available through
The Regis Fund II, an open-end investment company known as a "mutual fund." Each
of the Portfolios which  make up the Fund  have different investment  objectives
and  policies. Together, the Portfolios  offer a diverse set  of risk and return
characteristics to suit a wide range  of investor needs. The Fund was  organized
on May 18, 1994 as a Delaware business trust.
 
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
 
    The   Officers  of  the  Fund  manage  its  day-to-day  operations  and  are
responsible to the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Trustees set broad policies for
the Fund and elect its Officers.
 
    The Fund's Agreement and Declaration of  Trust permits the Fund to issue  an
unlimited  number  of  shares of  beneficial  interest, without  par  value. The
Trustees have  the power  to  designate one  or  more series  ("Portfolios")  or
classes of shares of beneficial interest without further action by shareholders.
 
    The  shares of  each Portfolio and  class have  noncumulative voting rights,
which means that  the holders  of more  than 50% of  the shares  voting for  the
election  of  Trustees can  elect  100% of  the Trustees  if  they choose  to do
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
so. As of July 31,  1995, John F. McNamara, Norton  H. Reamer, William H.  Park,
Trustees, UAM Profit Sharing & 401(k) Plan, Chicago, IL held of record 79.5% for
which  beneficial ownership is disclaimed or presumed disclaimed. The persons or
organizations owning 25% or more of the outstanding shares of a Portfolio may be
presumed to "control" (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) such  Portfolio.
As  a result, those  persons or organizations  could have the  ability to vote a
majority of the shares of the Portfolio on any matter requiring the approval  of
shareholders  of such Portfolio. A shareholder is  entitled to one vote for each
full share held  (and a fractional  vote for each  fractional share held),  then
standing  in his or her name on the  books of the Fund. Both Institutional Class
and Institutional Service Class Shares represent an interest in the same  assets
of  a Portfolio and are identical in  all respects except that the Institutional
Service Class Shares bear certain expenses related to shareholder servicing, may
bear expenses related  to the  distribution of  such shares  and have  exclusive
voting   rights  with   respect  to   matters  relating   to  such  distribution
expenditures. The Fund will not  ordinarily hold shareholder meetings except  as
required by the 1940 Act and other applicable laws. The Fund has undertaken that
its  Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders if such a meeting is requested
in writing by the holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of  the
Fund.  To  the  extent  required  by  the  undertaking,  the  Fund  will  assist
shareholder communications in such matters.
 
    NO PERSON  HAS  BEEN AUTHORIZED  TO  GIVE ANY  INFORMATION  OR TO  MAKE  ANY
REPRESENTATIONS  OTHER  THAN  THOSE  CONTAINED  IN  THIS  PROSPECTUS  OR  IN THE
PORTFOLIO'S STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING
MADE BY  THIS  PROSPECTUS  AND,  IF  GIVEN OR  MADE,  SUCH  INFORMATION  OR  ITS
REPRESENTATIONS  MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS  HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE FUND.
THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFERING BY THE FUND IN ANY  JURISDICTION
IN WHICH SUCH OFFERING MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY MADE.

                         PROSPECTUS -- AUGUST 28, 1995
 
    Chicago  Asset Management Intermediate Bond Portfolio  is one of a series of
investment portfolios  available through  The  Regis Fund  II (the  "Fund"),  an
open-end  investment company  known as a  "mutual fund." Each  of the Portfolios
that make up  the Fund  have different  investment objectives  and policies.  In
addition, several of the Fund's Portfolios offer two separate classes of shares:
Institutional  Class Shares  and Institutional  Service Class  Shares. Shares of
each class  represent  equal, pro  rata  interests  in a  Portfolio  and  accrue
dividends in the same manner except that Institutional Service Class Shares bear
certain  fees payable by that class  to financial institutions for services they
provide to the owners of such shares. Chicago Asset Management Intermediate Bond
Portfolio currently offers only one class  of shares. The securities offered  in
this  Prospectus  are Institutional  Class  Shares of  one  diversified, no-load
Portfolio of the Fund managed by Chicago Asset Management Company.
 
    The Chicago Asset Management Intermediate Bond Portfolio seeks a high  level
of  current income consistent with moderate  interest rate exposure by investing
primarily in investment grade bonds with an average weighted maturity between  3
and  10 years.  There can be  no assurance  that the Portfolio  will achieve its
stated objective.
 
    Please keep  this Prospectus  for  future reference  since it  contains  the
information  that you should understand before you  invest. You may also wish to
review  the  Chicago  Asset  Management  Portfolios'  "Statement  of  Additional
Information"  dated  August 28,  1995 which  was filed  with the  Securities and
Exchange Commission and has been incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.
(It is legally considered to be a part of this Prospectus). Please call or write
The Regis Fund II at the above address to obtain a free copy of this Statement.
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES  AND
   EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  OR ANY  STATE  SECURITIES COMMISSION  NOR  HAS THE
     SECURITIES  AND  EXCHANGE   COMMISSION  OR   ANY  STATE   SECURITIES
       COMMISSION  PASSED UPON  THE ACCURACY OF  THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY
               REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

- ------------------------
*Chicago  Asset Management Company has voluntarily  agreed to waive its advisory
 fees or reimburse  expenses, if  necessary, in  order to  keep the  Portfolio's
 total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses)
 from exceeding 0.80% of its average daily net assets through April 30, 1996. If
 it  were not for the fee waiver and/or reimbursement, the Portfolio's estimated
 total annual operating expenses would be 1.64% of average daily net assets. The
 Portfolio will not reimburse the Adviser for any advisory fees which are waived
 or Portfolio expenses which the Adviser may bear on behalf of the Portfolio.
 
    The fees  and  expenses  set  forth above  are  estimated  amounts  for  the
Portfolio's  first full year of operations  assuming average daily net assets of
$10 million.

                       SUMMARY: ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO . . .
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
    The Portfolio seeks a high level of current income consistent with  moderate
interest rate exposure by investing primarily in investment grade notes or bonds
with  an  average weighted  maturity between  3 and  10 years.  There can  be no
assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its stated objective.
 
HOW IS THE PORTFOLIO MANAGED?
 
    Chicago Asset Management Company  (the "Adviser") seeks  to reduce the  risk
that  is inherent in  the fast-changing bond  market while adding  to the return
available from a bond market index. (See "Details on Investment Policies.")
 
WHO MANAGES THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The Adviser is a  registered investment adviser  specializing in the  active
management   of  stocks,  bonds  and   balanced  portfolios  for  institutional,
tax-exempt clients. Founded in  1983, the firm is  a wholly-owned subsidiary  of
United Asset Management Corporation. The Adviser currently has over $1.5 billion
in assets under management. (See "Fund Management and Administration.")
 
WHO SHOULD INVEST IN THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The  Portfolio is suitable  for investors who seek  high current income from
their  investments  and  who  wish  to  have  moderate  exposure  to   principal
fluctuation. (See "Retirement Plans.")
 
HOW TO INVEST
 
    The  Fund offers shares of beneficial  interest of the Portfolio through RFI
Distributors, a division of Regis  Retirement Plan Services, Inc., to  investors
without a sales commission at net asset value next determined after the purchase
order  is  received in  proper  form. Share  purchases  may be  made  by sending
investments directly  to  the  Fund.  The minimum  initial  investment  for  the
Portfolio  is $100,000;  the minimum for  subsequent investments  is $1,000. The
officers of the  Fund may  make certain exceptions  to the  initial and  minimum
investment amounts. (See "Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares.")
 
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
    The  Portfolio  will  normally  distribute  substantially  all  of  its  net
investment income in the form of  quarterly dividends. Any realized net  capital
gains will also be distributed annually. Distributions will be reinvested in the
Portfolio's  shares  automatically unless  an  investor elects  to  receive cash
distributions. (See "Dividends, Capital Gains Distributions and Taxes.")
 
HOW TO REDEEM
 
    Shares of the Portfolio  may be redeemed  on any business  day when the  New
York  Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is  open, without cost, at  the net asset value of
the Portfolio  next determined  after  receipt of  the redemption  request.  The
Portfolio's  share  price will  fluctuate with  market and  economic conditions.
Therefore, your investment  may be worth  more or less  when redeemed than  when
purchased. (See "Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares.")
 
                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    Investing  in the  Portfolio entails  a number  of risks.  As with  any bond
investment, shares of the Portfolio will rise in value when interest rates  fall
and  vice versa.  In addition,  you should  consider the  following factors that
could effect the Portfolio's rate of return:
 
    -The Portfolio may invest  in repurchase agreements which  entail a risk  of
     loss should the seller default on its transaction.
 
    -The  Portfolio may lend  its investment securities which  entails a risk of
     loss should a borrower fail financially.
 
    -The Portfolio may purchase securities on  a when-issued basis which do  not
     earn  interest until issued  and may decline or  appreciate in market value
     prior to their delivery to the Portfolio.
 
    -The Portfolio  may  engage in  various  strategies  to seek  to  hedge  its
     investments  against  movements  in security  prices,  interest  rates, and
     currency exchange rates  by the  use of derivatives  including options  and
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
     futures as well as options on futures. These strategies involve the risk of
     imperfect  correlation in movements in the price of options and futures and
     movements in the price  of securities, interest  rates or currencies  which
     are  the subject of the  hedge. These transactions are  also subject to the
     risk factors associated with foreign investments generally. There can be no
     assurance that a liquid secondary market for options and futures  contracts
     will exist at any specific time.
 
    -Adverse  economic and corporate  changes and changes  in interest rates may
     have a greater impact on issuers of lower rated and unrated debt securities
     in which  the  Portfolio  may  invest, which  may  lead  to  greater  price
     volatility.  Also, lower  rated securities may  be more  difficult to value
     accurately or sell in the secondary market.
 
    -The Portfolio's performance may  depend on the ability  of the Adviser  who
     has  substantial experience as an investment adviser but limited experience
     as adviser to a mutual fund.
 
    -The Portfolio  may enter  into interest  rate hedging  strategies  commonly
     referred  to as "derivatives", which  if employed incorrectly may adversely
     affect the Portfolio.
 
    Further information about these risk factors is contained in the "Details on
Investment Policies" section of this Prospectus.

                            PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
 
    The Portfolio measures  performance by calculating  yield and total  return.
Both yield and total return figures are based on historical earnings and are not
intended to indicate future performance.
 
    Yield  refers to the income generated by an investment in the Portfolio over
a given  period of  time, expressed  as an  annual percentage  rate. Yields  are
calculated  according to a standard that is required for all bond funds. As this
differs from other accounting methods, the quoted yield may not equal the income
actually paid to shareholders.
 
    Total return is the change in value of an investment in the Portfolio over a
given period,  assuming  reinvestment of  any  dividends and  capital  gains.  A
cumulative  or aggregate total return reflects  actual performance over a stated
period of time. An average annual total return is a hypothetical rate of  return
that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if  performance had been  constant over the entire  period. Average annual total
returns smooth out variations  in performance; they are  not the same as  actual
year-by-year results.
 
    The  Portfolio's performance may be compared to data prepared by independent
services which monitor the performance of investment companies, data reported in
financial and industry publications, and various indices as further described in
the Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information.
 
    The Portfolio's Annual Report to Shareholders, which may be obtained without
charge, contains information about past  performance together with a  comparison
to an appropriate index.

                         DETAILS ON INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
    The  Portfolio seeks to achieve  its objective by investing  at least 65% of
its total  assets under  normal  circumstances in  intermediate-term  investment
grade  notes or bonds with an average  weighted maturity between 3 and 10 years.
Investment grade bonds are generally considered to be those bonds having one  of
the  four highest grades assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")
(Aaa, Aa, A  or Baa) or  Standard & Poor's  Corporation ("S&P") (AAA,  AA, A  or
BBB),  or, if  unrated, of equivalent  quality in the  Adviser's judgment. Bonds
rated Baa or BBB have speculative  characteristics and may be more sensitive  to
changes  in the economy and the financial condition of issuers than higher rated
bonds. The  Portfolio  may  invest no  more  than  10% of  its  assets  in  debt
securities  that at the time of purchase  are rated lower than investment grade.
These are commonly referred to as "junk bonds". See the discussion of high yield
securities in "Other Investment Policies"  below. The Adviser also reserves  the
right  to retain securities  which are downgraded  by one or  both of the rating
agencies,  if  in  the  Adviser's  judgment,  the  retention  of  securities  is
warranted.  The Portfolio's Statement of  Additional Information contains a more
detailed description of corporate bond ratings.
 
    The Adviser will seek to achieve  the Portfolio's objective by investing  in
the  following securities: corporate notes and bonds, mortgage-backed securities
including collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities  which
are  deemed  by  the  Adviser and  the  rating  agencies cited  above  to  be of
investment grade quality; variable rate and fixed rate debt securities which  at
the time of purchase are rated as investment grade; short-term securities deemed
by  the Adviser to have comparable ratings; and securities of, or guaranteed by,
the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
 
    While the  Adviser  anticipates that  the  majority  of the  assets  in  the
Portfolio  will be U.S. dollar denominated  securities, it reserves the right to
purchase  obligations  of   foreign  governments,   agencies,  or   corporations
denominated  either in  U.S. dollars or  foreign currencies.  The credit quality
standards applied to foreign  obligations are the same  as those applied to  the
selection of U.S. based securities.
 
    For  temporary defensive purposes, the Portfolio  may reduce its holdings of
fixed income securities  and increase, up  to 100%, its  holdings in  short-term
investments.  The  Adviser  may  employ a  defensive  investment  posture during
adverse market conditions. See "Short-Term Investments" below for a  description
of  the types of  short-term instruments in  which the Portfolio  may invest for
temporary defensive purposes.  When the  Portfolio is in  a temporary  defensive
position, it may not necessarily be pursuing its stated investment objective.
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
    The  Portfolio  is managed  to control  the  risk of  investing in  the bond
market.  The  Adviser's   investment  approach  offers   some  protection   from
fluctuation  in bond  prices or  volatility. Bond  prices fluctuate dramatically
due, most visibly, to changes in interest rates. Other factors impact the  value
of bonds held in a Portfolio, as well, including changes in:
 
       -Investors  perception of  the value  of certain  broad classes of
        bonds,  such   as   corporate,  government   or   mortgage-backed
        securities (sector positioning);
 
       -The  relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates
        (the yield curve);
 
       -The correlation  between yields  offered  on different  types  of
        bonds (spreads);
 
       -The  likelihood  that  bonds  will  be  redeemed  before maturity
        (option-adjusted spreads); and
 
       -The fact  that the  credit outlook  for a  specific security  can
        change over time.
 
    Since  so many different factors affect  bond prices, it has been difficult,
historically, for bond  fund managers  to outperform  a bond  market index.  The
Adviser  believes this is particularly true of  bond managers who try to predict
interest rate  movements.  It has  observed  that these  managers  often  change
investment strategy at the top or bottom of the market, adding to long-term bond
holdings  when interest rates  are low and shoring  up short-term positions when
interest rates are high. This tendency naturally causes portfolio performance to
vary widely. Therefore, the Adviser does not depend on the use of interest  rate
forecasting in managing the Portfolio.
 
    At  market tops and bottoms, market psychology tends to drive bond prices to
extremes,  overshooting  their  long-term  equilibrium  levels.  As  a   result,
"conventional  wisdom"  about a  given security  or  sector's price  movement or
relative value, is often wrong. The Adviser believes it will be possible to  add
to  the Portfolio's return by taking a contrarian approach and also focusing its
efforts on the more traditional aspects of portfolio management. In  particular,
the  Adviser scrutinize sector valuations, coupons,  call features and the shape
of the yield curve in making its investment decisions.
 
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
    The Portfolio may also, under normal circumstances, invest up to 35% of  its
assets,  unless restricted by  additional limitations described  below or in the
Portfolio's Statement of  Additional Information, in  the following  securities,
investments or investment techniques.
 
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
 
    The  Portfolio may invest up  to 10% of its  assets in securities of foreign
issuers.  Investors  should  recognize  that  investing  in  foreign  securities
involves  certain risks  which are  not typically  associated with  investing in
domestic securities. Since bonds issued  by foreign entities may be  denominated
in  foreign  currencies,  and  the  Portfolio  may  temporarily  hold uninvested
reserves in bank deposits in foreign currencies, the Portfolio's value may  rise
or fall depending on currency exchange rates. The Portfolio may also have to pay
a fee to convert funds from one currency to another.
 
    In  addition, non-U.S.-based issuers are not subject to the same accounting,
auditing and financial reporting standards as are domestic issuers. There may be
less publicly-available information about non-U.S.-based issuers which may  make
it  difficult to make investment decisions. Political factors may have an impact
in the form of confiscatory taxation, expropriation or political instability  in
international markets.
 
    Although  the Portfolio will seek the most favorable trading costs available
in any given  market, investors  should recognize that  foreign commissions  are
generally  higher  than  those  in the  United  States.  In  addition, custodial
expenses, that is, fees paid to  foreign financial institutions for holding  the
Portfolio's  securities, will generally be higher than  would be the case in the
United States.
 
    Some foreign governments  also levy withholding  taxes against dividend  and
interest  income.  Although  in  some  countries  a  portion  of  the  taxes  is
recoverable, the non-recovered portion of foreign withholding taxes will  reduce
the income the Portfolio receives from the companies comprising its investments.
 
    The  Portfolio may engage in various  investment techniques, such as futures
contracts, options  on  futures  contracts,  options,  and  interest  rate  swap
transactions. See "Other Investment Policies--Hedging and Related Strategies and
Risk Considerations" for more information on these instruments.
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
HIGH YIELD/HIGH RISK SECURITIES
 
    The  Portfolio may invest up  to 10% of its  assets in high yield securities
which are rated below  investment grade or are  unrated. Lower rated or  unrated
securities  are more likely to react to developments affecting market and credit
risk than are more highly rated  securities, which react primarily to  movements
in  the  general level  of  interest rates.  The  market values  of fixed-income
securities tend to vary inversely with  the level of interest rates. Yields  and
market  values of high yield securities will fluctuate over time, reflecting not
only changing interest rates but the  market's perception of credit quality  and
the  outlook  for  economic  growth.  When  economic  conditions  appear  to  be
deteriorating, medium to  lower rated  securities may  decline in  value due  to
heightened concern over credit quality, regardless of prevailing interest rates.
The  Adviser will consider both  credit risk and market  risk in selecting fixed
income securities for the Portfolio.
 
    The high yield  securities market  is still  relatively new  and its  recent
growth paralleled a long period of economic expansion and an increase in merger,
acquisition  and leveraged  buyout activity.  Adverse economic  developments may
disrupt the market for high yield securities, and severely affect the ability of
issuers, especially highly leveraged issuers, to service their debt  obligations
or  to repay their obligations upon  maturity. In addition, the secondary market
for high  yield  securities, which  is  concentrated in  relatively  few  market
makers,  may not  be as  liquid as  the secondary  market for  more highly rated
securities. As a result, the Adviser could find it more difficult to sell  these
securities  or may be able  to sell the securities only  at prices lower than if
such securities were widely traded. Prices realized upon the sale of such  lower
rated  or unrated  securities, under these  circumstances, may be  less than the
prices used in calculating the Portfolio's net asset value.
 
    Prices for  high  yield  securities  may  be  affected  by  legislative  and
regulatory  developments. These laws could  adversely affect the Portfolio's net
asset value  and  investment practices,  the  secondary market  for  high  yield
securities, the financial condition of issuers of these securities and the value
of outstanding high yield securities. For example, federal legislation requiring
the  divestiture by  federally insured  savings and  loan associations  of their
investments in high yield  bonds and limiting the  deductibility of interest  by
certain  corporate issuers of high yield  bonds adversely affected the market in
recent years.
 
    Lower rated or unrated debt obligations also present risks based on  payment
expectations.  If an issuer  calls the obligations for  redemption, the Fund may
have to replace  the security  with a lower  yielding security,  resulting in  a
decreased  return  for investors.  If the  Portfolio experiences  unexpected net
redemptions, it may be forced to sell its higher rated securities, resulting  in
a  decline in the overall credit quality of the Portfolio's investment portfolio
and increasing  the  exposure  of the  Portfolio  to  the risks  of  high  yield
securities.
 
    The  chart below indicates  the Portfolio's weighted  average composition of
debt securities graded  by S&P  for the  period from  the Portfolio's  inception
(January  24, 1995) through April 30, 1995. The Portfolio did not invest in debt
securities graded lower than investment grade during this period.

    The weighted average  indicated above  was calculated on  a dollar  weighted
basis  and was computed as at the end  of each month through April 30, 1995. The
chart does not necessarily indicate what  the composition of the Portfolio  will

ratings of fixed income  securities, see "Appendix  -- Description of  Corporate
Bond Ratings" in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
 
    In   order  to  earn  a  return   on  uninvested  assets,  meet  anticipated
redemptions, or for  temporary defensive  purposes, the Portfolio  may invest  a
portion of its assets in domestic and foreign money market instruments including
certificates  of deposit,  bankers acceptances,  time deposits,  U.S. government
obligations,  U.S.  government  agency  securities,  short-term  corporate  debt
securities,  and commercial paper rated A-1 or  A-2 by S&P or Prime-1 or Prime-2
by Moody's or if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
    In a repurchase agreement,  the Portfolio purchases a  security and, at  the
same  time, arranges to sell  it back to the  original seller on a predetermined
date. The repurchase  agreement states the  price that the  seller will pay  for
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
the  security  plus the  interest  rate that  the  purchaser will  receive while
holding it. In effect, the  Portfolio is lending its funds  to the seller at  an
agreed  upon interest rate and receiving a  security as collateral for the loan.
Repurchase agreements  can range  from overnight  to a  fixed term.  They are  a
common way to earn interest on short-term funds.
 
    The  seller under  a repurchase agreement  will be required  to maintain the
value of  the securities  subject to  the agreement  at not  less than  (1)  the
repurchase  price if such securities mature in one  year or less, or (2) 101% of
the repurchase  price if  such securities  mature  in more  than one  year.  The
Administrator  and  the Adviser  will  mark to  market  daily the  value  of the
securities purchased, and the Adviser will, if necessary, require the seller  to
maintain  additional securities to  ensure that the value  is in compliance with
the previous sentence.
 
    There are  some  risks involved  in  repurchase agreements.  If  the  seller
defaults  on its  agreement to buy  back the  securities and the  value of those
securities falls, the Portfolio may incur losses in selling these securities  on
the open market. Also, if the seller enters bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court may
decide  that  the  securities  are  collateral not  within  the  control  of the
Portfolio and therefore are  subject to sale by  the Trustee in the  bankruptcy.
Finally,  it  is  possible that  the  Portfolio may  not  be able  to  prove its
ownership of the underlying  securities. The Adviser  believes that these  risks
can be controlled by carefully reviewing the securities involved in a repurchase
agreement  as well as the  credit rating of the  other party in the transaction.
The Portfolio  may  invest  in  repurchase  agreements  collateralized  by  U.S.
government  securities, certificates  of deposit, bankers  acceptances and other
short-term securities as outlined above under "Short-Term Investments".
 
WHEN-ISSUED, FORWARD DELIVERY AND DELAYED SETTLEMENT SECURITIES
 
    Occasionally, the  Portfolio  will  invest in  securities  whose  terms  and
characteristics  are already known but which have not yet been issued. These are
called "when-issued" or "forward delivery" securities. Usually these  securities
are  purchased within a  month of their issue  date. "Delayed settlements" occur
when the Portfolio agrees to buy or sell securities at some time in the  future,
making no payment until the transaction is actually completed.
 
    The  Portfolio will  maintain a  separate account  of cash,  U.S. government
securities or other high-grade debt obligations  at least equal to the value  of
the  purchase commitments until payment is made. Typically, no income accrues on
securities purchased on a delayed delivery  basis prior to the time delivery  of
the  securities is made although the Portfolio  may earn income on securities it
has deposited in a segregated account.
 
    The Portfolio engages in these types of purchases in order to buy securities
that fit with its investment objective  at attractive prices -- not to  increase
its investment leverage.
 
    Securities  purchased on  a when-issued basis  may decline  or appreciate in
market value prior to their actual delivery to the Portfolio.
 
MORTGAGE-BACKED AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
 
    The Portfolio may  invest in pools  of consumer loans  or mortgages such  as
collateralized  mortgage  obligations.  Asset-backed securities  may  consist of
securities collateralized by shorter term  loans such as automobile loans,  home
equity  loans or  credit card  receivables, the  payments from  which are passed
through  to  the  security  holder.  The  value  of  these  securities  may   be
significantly affected by changes in interest rates, the market's perceptions of
the  issuers, and the creditworthiness  of the parties involved. Mortgage-backed
securities in which the Portfolio may invest will either carry a guarantee  from
an  agency of the U.S.  government or a private issuer  of the timely payment of
principal and interest  or are  sufficiently seasoned  to be  considered by  the
Adviser to be of investment grade quality.
 
    Mortgage-backed  and asset-backed securities are  also subject to prepayment
risks. Prepayment  risk is  the possibility  that, during  periods of  declining
interest   rates,  mortgage  prepayments   will  accelerate  on  mortgage-backed
securities, especially on those with high stated interest rates. Prepayment risk
has two  important  effects.  First,  like  bonds  in  general,  mortgage-backed
securities  will generally  decline in price  when interest  rates rise. Second,
when interest rates fall and additional mortgage prepayments must be  reinvested
at lower interest rates, the Portfolio's rate of dividend income may be reduced.
Mortgage-backed  and asset-backed securities held by the Portfolio will be rated
investment grade by  Moody's or  S&P at  the time  of purchase,  or if  unrated,
determined to be of equivalent quality by the Adviser.
 
HEDGING AND RELATED STRATEGIES AND RISK CONSIDERATIONS
 
    The Portfolio may use options (both exchange-traded and over-the-counter) to
attempt  to  enhance  income. To  reduce  the  overall risk  of  its investments
(hedge), the Portfolio may  use options, futures  contracts, options on  futures
contracts,  and  forward  currency  contracts.  These  instruments  are commonly
referred to as derivatives.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
Hedging strategies may  also be  used in an  attempt to  manage the  Portfolio's
exposure  to  changing interest  rates,  security prices  and  currency exchange
rates. The  Portfolio may  buy or  sell futures  contracts, write  covered  call
options  and  buy  put and  call  options  on any  security,  index  or currency
including options and futures traded on foreign exchanges and options not traded
on exchanges. The Portfolio's ability to use these strategies may be limited  by
market  conditions, regulatory  limits and  tax considerations.  The Portfolio's
obligation under such hedging strategies will be covered by the maintenance of a
segregated account consisting of cash, U.S. government securities or high  grade
debt  obligations  equal to  at least  100% of  the Portfolio's  commitment. The
Statement of Additional Information contains further information on all of these
strategies and the risks associated with them.
 
    The  Portfolio  may  write  or  purchase  options  in  privately  negotiated
transactions  ("OTC  Options") as  well as  listed options.  OTC Options  can be
closed out only by agreement  with the other party  to the transaction. Any  OTC
Option  purchased by the  Portfolio is considered an  illiquid security. Any OTC
Option written by the Portfolio will be  with a qualified dealer pursuant to  an
agreement  under  which the  Portfolio may  repurchase the  option at  a formula
price. Such options are considered illiquid to the extent that the formula price
exceeds the intrinsic  value of the  option. The Portfolio  may not purchase  or
sell futures contracts or related options for which the aggregate initial margin
and  premiums exceed 5% of  the fair market value  of the Portfolio's assets. In
order to prevent leverage in connection  with the purchase of futures  contracts
or call options thereon by the Portfolio, an amount of cash, cash equivalents or
liquid  high grade debt securities  equal to the market  value of the obligation
under the futures contracts or options  (less any related market deposits)  will
be  maintained  in a  segregated  account with  the  Fund's Custodian  Bank. The
Portfolio may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid  securities
and  repurchase agreements which  have a maturity  of longer than  seven days. A
more complete  discussion of  the potential  risks involved  in transactions  in
options  or futures contracts and related  options is contained in the Statement
of Additional Information.
 
    The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts for the purchase  or
sale  of a specified currency at a  specified future date either with respect to
specific transactions or with respect to portfolio positions. For example,  when
the  Adviser anticipates  making a  currency exchange  transaction in connection
with the purchase or sale of a security, the Portfolio may enter into a  forward
contract  in order  to set the  exchange rate  at which the  transaction will be
made. The Portfolio also may enter into a forward contract to sell an amount  of
a  foreign currency approximating  the value of  some or all  of the Portfolio's
securities denominated in such currency.
 
    The Portfolio  may use  forward contracts  in one  currency or  a basket  of
currencies  to hedge against fluctuations in  the value of another currency when
the Adviser anticipates there will be a correlation between the two and may  use
forward currency contracts to shift the Portfolio's exposure to foreign currency
fluctuations  from one  country to another.  The purpose of  entering into these
contracts is to minimize the risk to  the Portfolio from adverse changes in  the
relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies.
 
    The  Portfolio may enter  into interest rate  protection transactions, which
consist of interest rate swaps and  interest rate caps, collars and floors,  for
hedging  purposes. These transactions are commonly referred to as derivatives. A
swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for  the
return  generated by  another instrument. The  swaps in which  the Portfolio may
also engage include interest rate caps, floors and collars under which one party
pays a single or periodic  fixed amount (or premium),  and the other party  pays
periodic amounts on movement of a specified index.
 
    The  Portfolio  may  enter  into interest  rate  protection  transactions to
preserve a  return  or spread  on  a particular  investment  or portion  of  its
portfolio  or to  protect against  any increase  in the  price of  securities it
anticipates purchasing at a later date.  The Portfolio will enter into  interest
rate  protection transactions only with  banks and recognized securities dealers
believed by  the Adviser  to present  minimal credit  risks in  accordance  with
guidelines  established by  the Fund's Board  of Trustees.  Interest rate swaps,
caps, floors  and  collars will  be  treated  as illiquid  securities  and  will
therefore,  be  subject  to  the  Portfolio's  investment  restriction  limiting
investment in illiquid securities to no greater than 15% of its net assets.
 
    RISK CONSIDERATIONS.   The Portfolio  might not  employ any  of the  hedging
strategies described above, and there can be no assurance that any strategy used
will succeed. If the Adviser incorrectly forecasts interest rates, market values
or other economic factors in utilizing a hedging strategy for the Portfolio, the
Portfolio  would  be in  a  better position  if  it had  not  hedged at  all. In
addition, the Portfolio will pay commissions and other costs in connection  with
such  hedging strategies which may increase  the Portfolio's expenses and reduce
its return.
 
    The use of these strategies involves  certain risks, including (1) the  fact
that skills needed to use hedging instruments are different from those needed to
select   the  Portfolio's   securities,  (2)   possible  imperfect  correlation,
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
or even no correlation, between price movements of hedging instruments and price
movements of the  investments being  hedged, (3)  the fact  that, while  hedging
strategies can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for
gain,  or  even result  in losses,  by offsetting  favorable price  movements in
hedged investments and (4) the possible  inability of the Portfolio to  purchase
or  sell a portfolio security at a time that otherwise would be favorable for it
to do so, or the possible need for the Portfolio to sell a portfolio security at
a disadvantageous  time, due  to  the need  for it  to  maintain "cover"  or  to
segregate  securities in connection  with hedging transactions  and the possible
inability of the Portfolio to close out or to liquidate its hedged position.
 
RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES
 
    The Portfolio may purchase restricted securities that are not registered for
sale to  the general  public but  which  are eligible  for resale  to  qualified
institutional investors under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under the
supervision  of  the  Fund's  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Adviser  determines the
liquidity of such investments by considering all relevant factors. Provided that
a dealer  or  institutional trading  market  in such  securities  exists,  these
restricted securities are not treated as illiquid securities for purposes of the
Portfolio's  investment limitations. The Portfolio may  also invest up to 15% of
its net assets in  securities that are  illiquid by virtue of  the absence of  a
readily  available market  or because  of legal  or contractual  restrictions on
resale. The prices  realized from the  sales of these  securities could be  less
than  those originally paid by the Portfolio or less than what may be considered
the fair value of such securities.
 
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
 
    The Portfolio may lend its investment securities to qualified  institutional
investors   who  need  to  borrow  securities   in  order  to  complete  certain
transactions, such  as  covering  short  sales,  avoiding  failures  to  deliver
securities  or  completing arbitrage  operations.  The Portfolio  will  not loan
portfolio securities to the extent that greater than one-third of its assets  at
fair  market  value, would  be  committed to  loans.  By lending  its investment
securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its income through the receipt of
interest on the loan.  Any gain or  loss in the market  price of the  securities
loaned  that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of
the Portfolio. The  Portfolio may  lend its investment  securities to  qualified
brokers, dealers, domestic and foreign banks or other financial institutions, so
long  as the terms, the structure and the aggregate amount of such loans are not
inconsistent with the  Investment Company Act  of 1940 (the  "1940 Act") or  the
Rules  and  Regulations  or  interpretations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") thereunder, which  currently require that (a)  the
borrower  pledge and maintain with the  Portfolio collateral consisting of cash,
an irrevocable letter  of credit issued  by a domestic  U.S. bank or  securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government having a value at all times not less
than  100% of the value  of the securities loaned, (b)  the borrower add to such
collateral whenever the price of the securities loaned rises (i.e., the borrower
"marks to  the market"  on a  daily  basis), (c)  the loan  be made  subject  to
termination  by  the  Portfolio at  any  time,  and (d)  the  Portfolio receives
reasonable interest on the loan (which  may include the Portfolio investing  any
cash  collateral in interest bearing short-term investments). All relevant facts
and circumstances,  including  the creditworthiness  of  the broker,  dealer  or
institution,  will be considered in making decisions with respect to the lending
of securities, subject to review by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
    At the present  time, the  Staff of  the Commission  does not  object if  an
investment  company pays  reasonable negotiated  fees in  connection with loaned
securities so long as such fees are set forth in a written contract and approved
by the investment company's  Board of Trustees. The  Portfolio will continue  to
retain  any voting rights with  respect to the loaned  securities. If a material
event occurs affecting an investment on a loan, the loan must be called and  the
securities voted.
 
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
 
    This Portfolio is managed for long-term appreciation, rather than short-term
trading profits. As a result, the Adviser seeks to keep portfolio turnover below
150%.  (A turnover rate of 100% would  mean that all securities in the Portfolio
would be replaced within a one-year period.) However, portfolio turnover depends
to a great  degree on market  conditions. Occasionally, when  the market  shifts
suddenly  or when the prospects for individual bonds change quickly, the Adviser
may find it necessary to  sell securities which have  not been in the  Portfolio
for  very long. High  rates of portfolio turnover  necessarily result in heavier
brokerage and portfolio  trading costs which  is paid by  the Portfolio.  Higher
rates  of turnover may result in the realization of capital gains. To the extent
net short-term capital gains are realized, any distributions resulting from such
gains are  considered  ordinary income  for  federal income  tax  purposes.  The
Portfolio  will not normally  engage in short-term trading,  but it reserves the
right to do so.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
 
    To help reduce the Portfolio's exposure  to risk in specific situations,  it
has  adopted certain limitations associated  with its investments and investment
practices. These  policies  and  limitations  are  considered  at  the  time  of
purchase.  The sale of instruments is not  required in the event of a subsequent
change in circumstances.
 
    The Portfolio's limitations are as follows:
 
    (a) With respect to 75% of its assets,  the Portfolio may not own more  than
        5% of the securities of any single issuer (other than investments issued
        or  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  Government  or  any  of  its  agencies or
        instrumentalities);
 
    (b) With respect to 75% of its assets,  the Portfolio may not own more  than
        10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer;
 
    (c) The Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its assets in securities of
        issuers  (other  than securities  issued or  guaranteed  by the  U.S. or
        foreign governments  or their  political subdivisions)  that have  (with
        predecessors) less than 3 years of continuous operation;
 
    (d) The  Portfolio may not invest  more than 25% of  its assets in companies
        within  a  single  industry;  however,  there  are  no  limitations   on
        investments  made  in  instruments  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the U.S.
        Government and its agencies;
 
    (e) The Portfolio may not make loans except by purchasing debt securities in
        accordance with its investment objective  and policies or entering  into
        repurchase  agreements or by lending  its portfolio securities to banks,
        brokers, dealers or other  financial institutions as  long as the  loans
        are  made in compliance with the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and
        interpretations of the Commission;
 
    (f) The  Portfolio  may  not  borrow  except  from  banks  in  extraordinary
        circumstances  for temporary  or emergency purposes.  In this situation,
        the Portfolio may not (1) borrow more  than 33 1/3% of its total  assets
        and  (2) cannot buy additional securities if  it borrows more than 5% of
        its total assets; and
 
    (g) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate more than 33 1/3% of its total assets at
        fair market value.
 
    The Portfolio's investment  objective and investment  limitations (a),  (b),
(d), (e) and (f.1) listed above are fundamental policies and may be changed only
with  the  approval of  the  holders of  a  majority of  the  outstanding voting
securities of the  Portfolio. The other  investment limitations described  here,
those  not specified as fundamental in  the Statement of Additional Information,
and the  Portfolio's investment  policies are  not fundamental,  and the  Fund's
Board of Trustees may change them without shareholder approval.
 
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
 
    The  Portfolio's  Investment Advisory  Agreement  authorizes the  Adviser to
select the  brokers or  dealers that  will execute  the purchases  and sales  of
investment  securities for the  Portfolio. The Agreement  directs the Adviser to
use its  best efforts  to obtain  the best  available price  and most  favorable
execution for all the Portfolio's transactions.
 
    It  is not  the Fund's  practice to  allocate brokerage  or effect principal
transactions with dealers  on the basis  of sales  of shares which  may be  made
through  broker-dealer firms.  However, the  Adviser may  place Portfolio orders
with qualified broker-dealers who recommend the  Portfolio or who act as  agents
in the purchase of shares of the Portfolio for their clients.
 
    Some  securities  considered for  investment by  the  Portfolio may  also be
appropriate for other clients served  by the Adviser. If  a purchase or sale  of
securities  is consistent with the investment  policies of the Portfolio and one
or more of these other clients served  by the Adviser is considered at or  about
the  same  time, transactions  in such  securities will  be allocated  among the
Portfolio and clients  in a  fair and reasonable  manner. Although  there is  no
specified  formula  for  allocating such  transactions,  the  various allocation
methods used by the Adviser, and the result of such allocations, are subject  to
periodic review by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
                     BUYING, SELLING AND EXCHANGING SHARES
 
    Shares  of the Portfolio are offered through RFI Distributors, a division of
Regis Retirement Plan Services, Inc., to investors at net asset value without  a
sales  commission.  The minimum  initial  investment is  $100,000,  with certain
exceptions determined from time to time by the officers of the Fund. The minimum
for subsequent investments is $1,000.
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
    Shares of the Portfolio may be  purchased by customers of broker-dealers  or
other  financial  intermediaries  ("Service Agents")  which  have  established a
shareholder servicing relationship with the  Fund on behalf of their  customers.
Service  Agents may impose  additional or different  conditions or other account
fees on the purchase and redemption of Portfolio shares by their customers. Each
Service Agent is responsible for transmitting to its customers a schedule of any
such fees  and  information regarding  any  additional or  different  conditions
regarding  purchases and redemptions. Shareholders  who are customers of Service
Agents should consult their Service  Agent for information regarding these  fees
and  conditions. Certain Service Agents may  receive compensation from the Fund,
the Fund's  Distributor, the  Adviser, or  any of  the Adviser's  affiliates.  A
salesperson and any other person entitled to receive compensation for selling or
servicing  Portfolio shares may  receive different compensation  with respect to
one particular class of shares over another in the Fund.
 
    Service Agents  may  enter confirmed  purchase  orders on  behalf  of  their
customers.  If you buy shares of the Portfolio in this manner, the Service Agent
must receive your investment order before the close of trading on the NYSE,  and
transmit  it to  the Fund's Transfer  Agent prior  to the close  of the Transfer
Agent's business day and to the  Distributor to receive that day's share  price.
Proper  payment for the  order must be  received by the  Transfer Agent no later
than the  time when  the Portfolio  is  priced on  the following  business  day.
Service  Agents  are responsible  to their  customers, the  Fund and  the Fund's
Distributor for timely transmission of all subscription and redemption requests,
investment information, documentation and money.

from  which you plan to  wire the funds, the  bank or financial institution, its
address, phone  number  and  your social  security  or  taxpayer  identification
number. You will then tell the representative which Portfolio you wish to invest
in  and how much  you want to  invest. The representative  will then provide you
with an account number. Please write it down and keep it for your records.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
    Once you have an account number, call your bank and instruct them to wire  a
specified  amount to the Fund's custodian,  Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York ("Custodian Bank"). You will be asked to provide the following information:
 
                   Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
                               New York, NY 10015

                              DDA Acct. #00166786
                            F/B/O The Regis Fund II
           Ref: Chicago Asset Management Intermediate Bond Portfolio
                              Your account number:
                          ----------------------------
                               Your account name:
                         ------------------------------
 
    After you have instructed  the bank to  wire the money,  you must forward  a
completed  Account  Registration Form  to The  Regis Service  Center as  soon as
possible.  You  can  obtain  forms  by  calling  The  Regis  Service  Center  at
1-800-638-7983.  Federal Funds purchases will be  accepted only on days when the
NYSE and the Custodian Bank are open for business.
 
    Once you have made  the initial purchase, you  may buy additional shares  by
wire  at any time by  following the instructions above.  On all wired purchases,
funds will  be invested  at the  share price  calculated after  the next  market
close.
 
IN-KIND PURCHASES
 
    Under  certain circumstances,  investors who own  securities may  be able to
exchange them  directly for  shares of  the Portfolio  without converting  their
investments  into cash first.  The Portfolio will  accept such in-kind purchases
only if  the securities  offered for  exchange meet  the Portfolio's  investment
criteria  which are set forth in the "Details on Investment Policies" section of
this Prospectus.  Once accepted,  the shares  will be  valued according  to  the
process  described in  "How Share  Prices are Determined"  at the  same time the
Portfolio's shares are  valued. Once a  value has been  determined for both,  an
exchange  will be made.  All dividends, interest,  subscription, or other rights
pertaining to these securities  become the Fund's property;  if you receive  any
such  items, you must deliver them  to the Fund immediately. Securities acquired
through an in-kind purchase will be acquired for investment and not for resale.
 
    The Fund  will not  accept  securities for  exchange  unless they  meet  the
following criteria:
 
       -The  securities are eligible to be  included in the Portfolio and
        market quotes can readily be obtained for them as evidenced by  a
        listing on the American Stock Exchange, the NYSE or NASDAQ or are
        bonds  rated Aaa, Aa, A or Baa by Moody's or AAA, AA, A or BBB by
        S&P.
 
       -The investor assures the Fund that the securities are not subject
        to any restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other
        law or regulation.
 
       -The value  of  the securities  exchanged  does not  increase  the
        Portfolio's  position in  any specific issuer's  security to more
        than 5% of the Portfolio's net assets.
 
    For tax purposes, the  IRS generally treats any  exchange of securities  for
Portfolio  shares as a sale  of the securities. This  means that if you exchange
securities which  have appreciated  in value  since you  bought them,  you  will
realize  capital gains and incur a tax  liability. If you are interested in such
an exchange, we suggest  you discuss any potential  tax liability with your  tax
adviser before proceeding.
 
RETIREMENT PLANS
 
    The  Portfolio is also suitable for individual tax-deferred retirement plans
including 401(k) Defined Contribution Plans and IRA Contributions or Rollovers.
 
HOW TO SELL SHARES
 
    You may sell shares by telephone or  mail at any time, free of charge.  Your
shares  will  be valued  at  the next  price  calculated after  we  receive your
instructions to sell.
 
BY MAIL
 
    To redeem by mail, include:
 
       -your share certificates, if we have issued them to you;
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
       -a letter which tells  us how many shares  you wish to redeem  or,
        alternatively, what dollar amount you wish to receive;
 
       -a  signature guaranteed by  your bank, broker  or other financial
        institution (see "Signature Guarantees" below); and
 
       -any other  necessary legal  documents, in  the case  of  estates,
        trusts,  guardianships, custodianships, corporations, pension and
        profit-sharing plans and other organizations.
 
    If you  are not  sure which  documents  to send,  please contact  The  Regis
Service Center at 1-800-638-7983.
 
BY TELEPHONE
 
    To   redeem  shares  by  telephone,  you  must  have  completed  an  Account
Registration Form and have returned it to  the Fund. Once this form is on  file,
simply  call the Fund and  request the redemption amount to  be mailed to you or
wired to  your  bank.  The  Fund  and the  Fund's  Transfer  Agent  will  employ
reasonable  precautions  to  make  sure that  the  instructions  communicated by
telephone  are  genuine.  You  will   be  asked  to  provide  certain   personal
identification when you open an account, and again, when you request a telephone
redemption. In addition, all telephone transaction requests will be recorded and
investors  may be required to provide additional telecopied written instructions
of such transaction requests.  Neither the Fund nor  the Transfer Agent will  be
responsible  for any loss, additional cost or expense for following instructions
received by telephone  that it reasonably  believes are genuine.  To change  the
name  of the  commercial bank  or the  account designated  to receive redemption
proceeds, a written request must be sent to the Fund at the address on the cover
of this Prospectus. Requests  to change the  bank or account  must be signed  by
each shareholder and each signature must be guaranteed. You cannot redeem shares
by telephone if you hold stock certificates for these shares. Please contact one
of the Fund's representatives at 1-800-638-7983 for further details.
 
SIGNATURE GUARANTEES
 
    To  protect your account, the Fund and the Fund's Transfer Agent from fraud,
signature guarantees are required for certain redemptions. Signature  guarantees
are  used to verify that the person who authorizes a redemption is, in fact, the
registered shareholder. They are required whenever you:
 
       -redeem shares and request  that the proceeds  be sent to  someone
        other  than the registered shareholder(s)  or to an address which
        is not the registered address; or
 
       -transfer shares from one Portfolio to another.
 
    Signatures must  be guaranteed  by an  "eligible guarantor  institution"  as
defined  in Rule 17Ad-15 under  the Securities Exchange Act  of 1934. (The Regis
Service Center can  provide you with  a full  definition of the  term.) You  can
obtain  a  signature guarantee  at  almost any  bank,  as well  as  through most
brokers, dealers,  credit  unions,  national  securities  exchanges,  registered
securities   associations,   clearing   agencies   and   savings   associations.
Broker-dealers  guaranteeing  signatures  must  be   a  member  of  a   clearing
corporation  or maintain net capital of at least $100,000. Credit unions must be
authorized to issue signature guarantees. Signature guarantees will be  accepted
from  any  eligible  guarantor  institution which  participates  in  a signature
guarantee program. A notary public can not provide a signature guarantee.
 
    The signature guarantee must appear either:
 
       -on the written request for redemption; or
 
       -on a separate instrument for  assignment (a "stock power")  which
        should specify the total number of shares to be redeemed; or
 
       -on all stock certificates tendered for redemption, and, if shares
        held  by the Fund are also being  redeemed, then on the letter or
        stock power.
 
FURTHER INFORMATION ON SELLING SHARES
 
    Normally, the  Fund  will  make  payment for  all  shares  sold  under  this
procedure  within one business day after we  receive a request. In no event will
payment be  made more  than seven  days  after receipt  of a  redemption  (sale)
request  in good order. The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone
the date at times when both the NYSE and Custodian Bank are closed, or under any
emergency circumstances as determined by the Commission.
 
    If the Fund's Board of Trustees  determines that it would be detrimental  to
the  best interests of the  remaining shareholders of the  Fund to make payments
wholly or  partly  in  cash,  the  Fund  may  pay  the  redemption  proceeds  in
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
whole  or in  part by a  distribution in-kind  of liquid securities  held by the
Portfolio instead of cash in conformity with applicable rules of the Commission.
Investors may  incur  brokerage  charges when  they  sell  portfolio  securities
received in payment of redemptions.
 
HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES
 
    You  may exchange Institutional Class Shares  of the Portfolio for any other
Institutional Class Shares of a Portfolio included in The Regis Family of  Funds
which  is comprised of The Regis Fund, Inc. and The Regis Fund II. (See the list
of Portfolios of The Regis Family of Funds -- Institutional Class Shares at  the
end  of this Prospectus.) When you exchange shares, you sell your old shares and
buy new ones, both at the price calculated after the next market close. There is
no sales charge for exchanges. Exchange requests may be made by phone or letter.
Telephone exchanges may be  made only if the  Fund holds all share  certificates
and  if the registration  of the two accounts  is identical. Telephone exchanges
received before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be processed at the share price  set
after  the market  closes on  the same day.  Exchanges received  after 4:00 p.m.
Eastern Time will be executed at the share price determined at the market  close
on  the following day.  For additional information  regarding responsibility for
the authenticity of telephoned transaction instructions, see "How to Sell Shares
- -- By Telephone",  above. The Fund  may also  limit both the  frequency and  the
amount  of  exchanges  permitted  if  it  is  in  the  interest  of  the  Fund's
shareholders.  The  exchange  privilege  is  only  available  with  respect   to
Portfolios that are registered for sale in a shareholder's state of residence.
 
    Please  review a Portfolio's investment objective before shifting money into
it. Make sure its objective and strategies fit with your long-term goals. Before
exchanging into a  Portfolio, read its  Prospectus. You may  obtain one for  the
Portfolio(s)  you  are interested  in  by calling  The  Regis Service  Center at
1-800-638-7983. Remember, every time  you exchange shares  of one Portfolio  for
another,  your transaction  is counted  as a  sale of  the first  security and a
purchase of the second. As a result, you may incur a tax liability by exchanging
shares if your investment has appreciated since you bought it. Consult your  tax
adviser to determine your liability for capital gains taxes.
 
                        HOW SHARE PRICES ARE DETERMINED
 
    The  value of each share  of the Portfolio is  calculated every day that the
NYSE is  open.  This  means that  shares  are  valued after  the  market  close,
generally  at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on  Monday through Friday, except for major
holidays when the NYSE is closed.
 
    The value of each share is determined by adding up the total market value of
all the  securities in  the  Portfolio plus  cash  and other  assets,  deducting
liabilities and then dividing by the total number of shares outstanding.
 
    Net asset value includes interest on bonds and other fixed income securities
which  is  accrued daily.  Bonds and  other fixed  income securities  are valued
according to the broadest and  most representative market which will  ordinarily
be  the  over-the-counter  market. In  addition,  bonds and  other  fixed income
securities may be valued on  the basis of prices  provided by a pricing  service
when  such  prices  are  believed  to reflect  the  fair  market  value  of such
securities. Bonds and other fixed income securities listed on a foreign exchange
are valued at the latest quoted sales price available before the time assets are
valued. For purposes of  determining net asset value  per share, all assets  and
liabilities  initially expressed  in foreign  currencies will  be converted into
U.S. dollar equivalents based upon the bid price of such currencies against U.S.
dollars quoted by any major bank or by a broker.
 
    The value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
available (including restricted securities) is determined in good faith at  fair
value using methods determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
                DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
 
DIVIDENDS
 
    Bonds  generate  income  in  the form  of  periodic  interest  payments. The
Portfolio will  normally  distribute substantially  all  of its  net  investment
income  to shareholders in the form of  quarterly dividends. This means that the
amount of income net  of expenses each  share has earned  over the past  quarter
will  be determined and subtracted from the total share value. The net income is
then either distributed to you in cash or reinvested in Portfolio shares at  the
new  after-dividend  price, depending  on  your instructions  to  the Portfolio.
Unless you specifically tell us to distribute dividend income in cash,  however,
we  will assume you want  this income reinvested. By law,  you must pay taxes on
any dividend income you receive on your investments whether distributed in  cash
or  reinvested in shares. The Portfolio will send  you a statement at the end of
the year telling you exactly  how much dividend income  you have earned for  tax
purposes.
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
CAPITAL GAINS
 
    Capital   gains  are  another  source  of  appreciation  to  the  Portfolio.
Basically, a capital gain is  an increase in the value  of a bond. However,  for
tax  purposes, the Portfolio does not "realize" a capital gain unless it sells a
bond which has appreciated.
 
    You can incur capital gains in two ways. First, if the Portfolio buys a bond
at one price, then sells it at a  higher price, it will realize a capital  gain.
At  the end of the year,  the capital gains the Portfolio  has made are added up
and capital losses are  subtracted. If any net  capital gains are realized,  the
Portfolio  will  normally distribute  such gains  annually.  You will  receive a
statement at the end of the year informing you of your share of the  Portfolio's
capital gains.
 
    The second way to incur capital gains is to sell or exchange your shares. If
you  sell  shares  at a  higher  price than  you  bought  them at,  you  will be
responsible for paying taxes on your  gain. There are several ways to  determine
your  tax liability, and we suggest you  contact a qualified tax adviser to help
you decide which is best for you.
 
TAXES
 
    The Portfolio  intends  to qualify  each  year as  a  "regulated  investment
company"  under Federal tax law, and if  it qualifies, the Portfolio will not be
liable for Federal income  taxes, because it will  have distributed all its  net
investment  income and net realized  capital gains to shareholders. Shareholders
will then have to pay taxes on  dividends, whether they are distributed as  cash
or  are reinvested in shares, and on net short-term capital gains. Dividends and
short-term capital gains  will be  taxed as ordinary  income. Long-term  capital
gains  distributions are  taxed as long-term  capital gains.  Such dividends and
distributions may be subject to state and local taxes. Redemptions of shares  in
the  Portfolio are taxable events for Federal income tax purposes. A shareholder
may also be subject to state and local taxes on such redemptions.
 
    Dividends declared  in October,  November and  December to  shareholders  of
record  in such a month will be treated as if they had been paid by the Fund and
received by the shareholders on December 31 of the same calendar year,  provided
that the dividends are paid before February of the following year.
 
    The  Fund is required by Federal law  to withhold 31% of reportable payments
(which may include dividends, capital gains distributions and redemptions)  paid
to  shareholders who have not  complied with IRS regulations.  In order to avoid
this withholding requirement, you must certify on the Account Registration  Form
or on a separate form supplied by the Fund that your Social Security or Taxpayer
Identification  Number  you  have  provided  is correct  and  that  you  are not
currently subject  to backup  withholding or  that you  are exempt  from  backup
withholding.
 
    Dividends   and  interest  received  by  the  Portfolio  may  give  rise  to
withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. These taxes reduce the
Portfolio's dividends but are  included in the taxable  income reported on  your
tax  statement if the Portfolio  qualifies for this tax  treatment and elects to
pass it through to  you. You may be  able to claim an  offsetting tax credit  or
itemized  deduction for foreign taxes paid  by the Portfolio. Your tax statement
will generally show the amount  of foreign tax for  which a credit or  deduction
may be available.
 
                       FUND MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
    The  Adviser is a registered investment adviser formed in 1983. Its business
offices are located at 70 West Madison Street, 56th Floor, Chicago, IL 60602. It
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Asset Management Corporation and provides
and offers investment management and advisory services to corporations,  unions,
pensions  and profit-sharing plans,  trusts, estates and  other institutions and
investors.  The  Adviser  currently  has  over  $1.5  billion  in  assets  under
management.
 
    The  Portfolio pays an annual fee in monthly installments to the adviser for
advisory services. This fee is accrued daily and paid monthly as a percentage of
the average daily net assets in the Portfolio for that month. The percentage fee
on an annual basis is 0.48%.
 
    The Adviser may compensate its affiliated companies for referring  investors
to  the Portfolio. The Adviser and its  parent company may also make payments to
unaffiliated brokers who perform distribution, marketing, shareholder and  other
services with respect to the Portfolio.

Management  Company  relating to  a composite  of fixed  income accounts  of its

the  Portfolio. See "Details On Investment  Policies." The results presented are
not intended to predict or suggest the return to be experienced by the Portfolio

may differ because of, among other things, differences in brokerage commissions,
account  expenses,  including investment  advisory fees,  the size  of positions
taken in  relation to  account size,  diversification of  securities, timing  of
purchases  and sales, availability  of cash for new  investments and the private
character  of  accounts  compared  with  the  Portfolio  and  its  shareholders.

    Lehman  Brothers  Intermediate  Government/Corporate Index  is  an unmanaged
index composed of a  combination of the Government  and Corporate Bond  Indices.
All  issues are investment grade (BBB) or  higher, with maturities of one to ten
years and an outstanding par value of at least $100 million for U.S.  government
issues  and  $25  million  for  others.  The  Government  Index  includes public
obligations of the U.S. Treasury,  issues of government agencies, and  corporate
debt backed by the U.S. government. The Corporate Bond Index includes fixed-rate
nonconvertible corporate debt. Also included are Yankee Bonds and nonconvertible
debt  issued  by  or  guaranteed by  foreign  or  international  governments and
agencies. Any security downgraded  during the month is  held in the index  until
month-end  and then removed. All returns  are market value weighted inclusive of
accrued  income.  As  of  June  30,  1995,  the  Lehman  Brothers   Intermediate
Government/Corporate  Bond Index was comprised  of 79.55% Government Securities,
16.42% Corporate Bonds and 4.03% Yankee Bonds.

    An actual fee charged to an individual  portfolio may vary by size and  type
of  fund. On a worst case basis, annual  performance could be reduced by as much
as 5/8 of  1% as a  result of a  management fee. This  could have a  compounding
effect if extended over several years.
 
    The  fixed income-only composite  includes every fixed  income account as of

included  all 23 fixed income portfolios, including the fixed income portions of
balanced accounts, totaling  $529 million,  which is  100% of  the fixed  income
assets   under  management/  advisory.  Because  this  is  a  fixed  income-only
composite, cash reserves/equivalents  are not  included. Leverage  has not  been
used  in any portfolios included in this  composite. A list of all composites of

                            GENERAL FUND INFORMATION
 
    The  Portfolio is one of a series of investment portfolios available through
The Regis Fund II, an open-end investment company known as a "mutual fund." Each
of the Portfolios which  make up the Fund  have different investment  objectives
and  policies. Together, the Portfolios  offer a diverse set  of risk and return
characteristics to suit a wide range  of investor needs. The Fund was  organized
on May 18, 1994 as a Delaware business trust.
 
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
 
    The   Officers  of  the  Fund  manage  its  day-to-day  operations  and  are
responsible to the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Trustees set broad policies for
the Fund and elect its Officers.
 
    The Fund's Agreement and Declaration of  Trust permits the Fund to issue  an
unlimited  number  of  shares of  beneficial  interest, without  par  value. The
Trustees have  the power  to  designate one  or  more series  ("Portfolios")  or
classes of shares of beneficial interest without further action by shareholders.
 
    The  shares of  each Portfolio and  class have  noncumulative voting rights,
which means that  the holders  of more  than 50% of  the shares  voting for  the
election  of Trustees can elect 100% of the Trustees if they choose to do so. As
of July 31, 1995, Edward W. Usher, Francis X. McCartin, Trustees, Pipe  Fitters'
Pension  Fund Local 597, Chicago,  IL held of record  96.7% for which beneficial
ownership is disclaimed  or presumed  disclaimed. The  persons or  organizations
owning  25% or more of the outstanding shares  of a Portfolio may be presumed to
"control" (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) such Portfolio. As a result,
those persons or organizations could have the ability to vote a majority of  the
shares  of the Portfolio on any matter requiring the approval of shareholders of
such Portfolio. A shareholder is entitled to  one vote for each full share  held
(and  a fractional vote for each fractional share held), then standing in his or
her name on the  books of the Fund.  Both Institutional Class and  Institutional
Service Class Shares represent an interest in the same assets of a Portfolio and
are identical in all respects except that the Institutional Service Class Shares
bear  certain  expenses  related  to shareholder  servicing,  may  bear expenses
related to the distribution of such shares and have exclusive voting rights with
respect to matters relating to such distribution expenditures. The Fund will not
ordinarily hold shareholder  meetings except  as required  by the  1940 Act  and
other  applicable laws. The  Fund has undertaken  that its Trustees  will call a
meeting of shareholders if such a meeting is requested in writing by the holders
of not  less than  10% of  the outstanding  shares of  the Fund.  To the  extent
required  by the undertaking, the Fund will assist shareholder communications in
such matters.
 
    NO PERSON  HAS  BEEN AUTHORIZED  TO  GIVE ANY  INFORMATION  OR TO  MAKE  ANY
REPRESENTATIONS  OTHER  THAN  THOSE  CONTAINED  IN  THIS  PROSPECTUS  OR  IN THE
PORTFOLIO'S STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING
MADE BY  THIS  PROSPECTUS  AND,  IF  GIVEN OR  MADE,  SUCH  INFORMATION  OR  ITS
REPRESENTATIONS  MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS  HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE FUND.
THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFERING BY THE FUND IN ANY  JURISDICTION
IN WHICH SUCH OFFERING MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY MADE.

              SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED AUGUST 28, 1995
                       AS SUPPLEMENTED OCTOBER 31, 1995

    The information in the Prospectus under the heading "Fund Management and 
Administration - Administrator" is replaced by the following:

    Pursuant to a Fund Administration Agreement dated April 15, 1996, UAM 
    Fund Services, Inc. ("UAMFSI") a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Asset 
    Management Corporation with its principal office located at 211 Congress 
    Street, Boston, MA  02110, is responsible for performing and overseeing 
    administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agency 
    services provided to the Fund and its Portfolios. UAMFSI has 
    subcontracted the performance of certain of such services to Chase Global 
    Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"), an affiliate of The Chase Manhattan 
    Bank, pursuant to a Mutual Funds Service Agreement dated April 15, 1996. 
    CGFSC is located at 73 Tremont Street, Boston, MA  02108-3913. Effective 
    April 1, 1996, The Chase Manhattan Corporation, the parent of The Chase 
    Manhattan Bank merged with and into Chemical Banking Corporation, the 
    parent company of Chemical Bank. Chemical Banking Corporation is the 
    surviving corporation and will continue its existence under the name "The 
    Chase Manhattan Corporation".

    Each Portfolio pays to UAMFSI a monthly fee comprised of two parts: a 
    Portfolio-specific fee which is retained by UAMFSI and a 
    sub-administration fee which UAMFSI in turn pays to CGFSC. The 
    Portfolio-specific fees for the MJI International Equity Portfolio are 
    0.06% of aggregate net assets. The sub-administration fee calculated on 
    an annualized basis equals: 0.19 of 1% of the first $200 million of total 
    net assets of the Fund; 0.11 of 1% of the next $800 million of total net 
    assets of the Fund; 0.07 of 1% of total net assets in excess of $1 
    billion but less than $3 billion; and 0.05 of 1% of total net assets in 
    excess of $3 billion. The sub-administration fees are allocated among the 
    Portfolios on the basis of their relative assets and are subject to a 
    graduated minimum fee schedule per Portfolio of $2,000 per month upon 
    inception of a Portfolio to $70,000 annually after two years. If a 
    separate class of shares is added to a Portfolio, the minimum annual fee 
    payable by that Portfolio may be increased by up to $20,000.

    The information relating to the Portfolio's fee and expense information 
under the heading "Fees and Expenses" is amended to reflect that:

  * Murray Johnstone International Ltd., the Adviser, has voluntarily agreed 
    to waive a portion of its advisory fees and to assume as the Adviser's 
    own expense certain operating expenses payable by the Portfolio, if 
    necessary, in order to keep the Portfolio's total annual operating 
    expenses from exceeding 1.50% of average daily net assets, until further 
    notice. Absent the fees waived and expenses assumed by the Adviser, 
    annualized total operating expenses of the Portfolio, including revised 
    administrative fees, would be 1.69%.

    The information in the Prospectus under the headings "Summary: About The 
Portfolio" and "Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares" is amended to reflect 
that the minimum initial investment in the Portfolio is $2,500 with certain 
exceptions as may be determined from time to time by the officers of the 
Fund.  The initial investment minimum for IRA accounts is $500.  The initial 
investment minimum for spousal IRA accounts is $250.  The minimum for any 
subsequent investment is $100.

                         PROSPECTUS -- AUGUST 28, 1995
 
    MJI  International  Equity  Portfolio  is  one  of  a  series  of investment
portfolios available  through  The  Regis  Fund II  (the  "Fund"),  an  open-end
investment company known as a "mutual fund." Each of the Portfolios that make up
the Fund have different investment objectives and policies. In addition, several
of  the Fund's  Portfolios offer two  separate classes  of shares: Institutional
Class Shares  and  Institutional Service  Class  Shares. Shares  of  each  class
represent  equal, pro rata interests in a  Portfolio and accrue dividends in the
same manner except  that Institutional  Service Class Shares  bear certain  fees
payable by that class to financial institutions for services they provide to the
owners  of such shares. MJI International Equity Portfolio currently offers only
one class of shares. The securities offered in this Prospectus are Institutional
Class Shares of one diversified, no-load Portfolio of the Fund managed by Murray
Johnstone International Ltd.
 
    The MJI  International  Equity Portfolio  seeks  to maximize  total  return,
including  both capital appreciation and  current income, by investing primarily
in the common  stocks of  companies based outside  of the  United States.  Under
normal  circumstances,  at least  65% of  the Portfolio's  total assets  will be
invested in securities of  issuers domiciled in at  least three countries  other
than  the  United States.  There can  be  no assurance  that the  Portfolio will
achieve its stated objective.
 
    Please  keep  this  Prospectus  for  future  reference,  since  it  contains
information  that you should understand before you  invest. You may also wish to
review the MJI Portfolios' "Statement  of Additional Information," dated  August
28,  1995 which was  filed with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission and has
been incorporated by reference into  this Prospectus. (It is legally  considered
to  be a part of this Prospectus). Please call or write The Regis Fund II at the
above address to obtain a free copy of this Statement.
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED  OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES  AND
  EXCHANGE   COMMISSION  OR  ANY  STATE  SECURITIES  COMMISSION  NOR  HAS  THE
  SECURITIES AND  EXCHANGE COMMISSION  OR  ANY STATE  SECURITIES  COMMISSION
    PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
                        CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

*Murray Johnstone International Ltd. has  voluntarily agreed to waive a  portion
 of  its advisory fees or reimburse expenses, if necessary, in order to keep the
 Portfolio's  total   operating   expenses  (excluding   interest,   taxes   and
 extraordinary  expenses) from exceeding  1.50% of its  average daily net assets
 through June 30, 1996. If it were not for the fee waiver and/or  reimbursement,
 the  Portfolio's estimated  total annual operating  expenses would  be 1.63% of
 average daily net assets.
 
    The fees and expenses  set forth above are  estimated amounts for its  first
full year of operations assuming average daily net assets of $15 million.

                       SUMMARY: ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO . . .
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
    The  Portfolio  seeks  to  maximize  total  return,  including  both capital
appreciation and current income, by investing primarily in the common stocks  of
companies  based outside  of the United  States. Under  normal circumstances, at
least 65% of the  Portfolio's total assets  will be invested  in at least  three
different countries other than the United States. There can be no assurance that
the Portfolio will achieve its stated objective.
 
HOW IS THE PORTFOLIO MANAGED?
 
    The  Portfolio's investment process focuses  first on determining the proper
country allocation, using a proprietary system to analyze economic, stock market
and monetary policy factors in each national market. The system indicates  which
markets  are the  most promising, and  Murray Johnstone  International Ltd. (the
"Adviser") decides the proportion the Portfolio should invest in each. Then,  at
the  stock selection  level, the Adviser  identifies undervalued  stocks in each
market selected for investment. (See "Details on Investment Policies.")
 
WHO MANAGES THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The Adviser is an  international investment adviser and  is an affiliate  of
the  Murray Johnstone Group  ("MJ Group"), in Glasgow,  Scotland. The MJ Group's
origins date back to  1907, and it  currently has $6.7  billion in assets  under
management.  The  MJ  Group  has  a  200-member  staff  including  40 investment
professionals. It became a subsidiary of United Asset Management Corporation  in
1993.  The  Adviser, the  SEC-registered entity  within the  MJ Group,  has $1.2
billion of assets under management and  has U.S. offices in Chicago. (See  "Fund
Management and Administration.")
 
WHO SHOULD INVEST IN THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The  Portfolio is suitable for investors  who wish to diversify their assets
across a  broad range  of international  markets. Like  any international  stock
investment,   this  Portfolio  should  be  considered  primarily  for  long-term
investment by investors  who are willing  to tolerate short-term  swings in  the
value of their assets for long-term returns. (See "Retirement Plans.")
 
HOW TO INVEST
 
    The  Fund offers shares of beneficial  interest of the Portfolio through RFI
Distributors, a division of Regis  Retirement Plan Services, Inc., to  investors
without a sales commission at net asset value next determined after the purchase
order  is  received in  proper  form. Share  purchases  may be  made  by sending
investments directly  to  the  Fund.  The minimum  initial  investment  for  the
Portfolio  is $500,000;  the minimum for  subsequent investments  is $1,000. The
officers of the  Fund may  make certain exceptions  to the  initial and  minimum
investment amounts. (See "Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares.")
 
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
    The  Portfolio  will  normally  distribute  substantially  all  of  its  net
investment income in the  form of an annual  dividend. Any realized net  capital
gains will also be distributed annually. Distributions will be reinvested in the
Portfolio's  shares  automatically unless  an  investor elects  to  receive cash
distributions. (See "Dividends, Capital Gains Distributions and Taxes.")
 
HOW TO REDEEM
 
    Shares of the Portfolio  may be redeemed  on any business  day when the  New
York  Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is  open, without cost, at  the net asset value of
the Portfolio  next determined  after  receipt of  the redemption  request.  The
Portfolio's  share  price will  fluctuate with  market and  economic conditions.
Therefore, your investment  may be worth  more or less  when redeemed than  when
purchased. (See "Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares.")
 
                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    - Prospective  investors should understand  that the Portfolio's performance
      will be affected by a variety of factors since it participates in a  large
      number  of stock  markets around the  world. The value  of the Portfolio's
      investments will  vary  from  day  to  day,  generally  reflecting  global
      economic  and political  developments, conditions  in global  and national
      markets, changes in currency exchange rates, factors affecting  individual
      stocks  in the  Portfolio and shifts  in interest rates.  In addition, you
      should consider the  following factors that  could effect the  Portfolio's
      rate of return.
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
    - The  Portfolio may invest in repurchase  agreements which entail a risk of
      loss should the seller default on its transaction.
 
    - The Portfolio may lend its investment  securities which entails a risk  of
      loss should a borrower fail financially.
 
    - The  Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued basis which do not
      earn interest until issued and may  decline or appreciate in market  value
      prior to their delivery to the Portfolio.
 
    - The  Portfolio may engage in various  currency strategies to seek to hedge
      its investments against movements in security prices, interest rates,  and
      exchange  rates by  the use  of derivatives,  including forward contracts,
      options and  futures  as well  as  options on  futures.  These  strategies
      involve  the risk  of imperfect correlation  in movements in  the price of
      options and futures  and movements  in the price  of securities,  interest
      rates or currencies which are the subject of the hedge. These transactions
      are  also subject to the risk  factors associated with foreign investments
      generally. There can be  no assurance that a  liquid secondary market  for
      these hedging techniques will exist at any specific time.
 
    - The  Portfolio may  enter into  interest rate  hedging strategies commonly
      referred to as derivatives which,  if employed incorrectly, may  adversely
      affect the Portfolio.
 
    Further information about each of the above risk factors is contained in the
"Details on Investment Policies" section of this Prospectus.

                            PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
 
    The Portfolio measures performance by calculating total return. Total return
includes all interest and dividend payments plus the net change in value on  all
securities  in the  Portfolio over a  specific period  of time. To  find out the
average annual return, we simply divide  this aggregate number by the number  of
years  in the period in question. In  calculating total return, we always assume
that all interest and dividend payments have been reinvested in the Portfolio.
 
    The Portfolio's performance may be compared to data prepared by  independent
services which monitor the performance of investment companies, data reported in
financial  and  industry  publications,  and  various  indices,  all  as further
described in the Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information.
 
    The Portfolio's Annual Report to Shareholders, which may be obtained without
charge, contains information about past  performance together with a  comparison
to  an appropriate  index. Write to  "The Regis Fund  II" at the  address on the
front cover of this Prospectus or  call 1-800-638-7983 to obtain your free  copy
of the Portfolio's Annual Report to Shareholders.
 
                         DETAILS ON INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
    The  Portfolio's investment process begins by  seeking to determine the best
possible allocation among international  stock markets. The Portfolio's  Adviser
evaluates  markets through a proprietary system which analyzes economic factors,
stock prices in each market, market  performance and trends in monetary  policy.
Drawing  on this  information, the Adviser  decides which  markets the Portfolio
should invest in and in what proportion.
 
    Once the  country allocation  decision has  been made,  the Adviser  selects
undervalued  stocks in that market. The Adviser rates companies according to the
quality of their  management, market  position, financial  strength, ability  to
earn  competitive  returns  on  equity and  assets,  and  growth  potential. The
Portfolio will  invest in  stocks that  the Adviser  determines are  undervalued
compared  to  industry  norms  within  their  countries.  It  is  expected  that
investments will  be diversified  throughout  the world  and within  markets  to
minimize  specific country  and currency risks.  While investments  will be made
primarily  in  securities  of   companies  domiciled  in  developed   countries,
investments  will also be made in developing countries. (See "Foreign Investment
Risk Factors.")
 
    Under normal circumstances,  at least  65% of the  Portfolio's total  assets
will  be invested  in common  stocks of  companies in  at least  three countries
outside the United  States. It is  expected that generally,  the Portfolio  will
invest  in common stocks of companies listed on U.S. or foreign stock exchanges,
but it may also invest in  stocks traded in the over-the-counter market.  Common
stocks   for  this   purpose  also   include  securities   having  common  stock
characteristics such  as rights  and  warrants to  purchase common  stocks.  The
Portfolio  may also invest  in convertible securities  and preferred stocks. The
Portfolio may also invest in foreign  equity securities in the form of  American
Depositary  Receipts  (ADRs),  European  Depositary  Receipts  (EDRs)  and other
similar  global  instruments.  ADRs  (sponsored  or  unsponsored)  are  receipts
typically  issued by a  U.S. bank or  trust company evidencing  ownership of the
underlying foreign securities. Most  ADRs are traded on  a U.S. stock  exchange.
Issuers of unsponsored ADRs are not contractually obligated to disclose material
information  in the U.S. and, therefore, there  may not be a correlation between
such information and the market value of the unsponsored ADR. EDRs are  receipts
typically issued by a European bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the
underlying foreign securities.
 
FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK FACTORS
 
    Investors  should recognize  that investing  in foreign  securities involves
certain risks  which are  not typically  associated with  investing in  domestic
securities.  Since securities issued  by foreign entities  may be denominated in
foreign currencies, and the Portfolio  may temporarily hold uninvested  reserves
in  bank deposits in foreign currencies, the  Portfolio's value may rise or fall
depending on currency exchange rates. The Portfolio  may also have to pay a  fee
to convert funds from one currency to another.
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
    In   addition,  non-U.S.-based  companies  are   not  subject  to  the  same
accounting,  auditing  and  financial   reporting  standards  as  are   domestic
companies. There may be less publicly-available information about non-U.S.-based
companies  which may make it difficult to make investment decisions. Also, stock
markets outside  the U.S.  are typically  less liquid  -- that  is, it  is  more
difficult  to sell large quantities of a stock without driving its price down or
to buy without pushing its price up.  Market regulation may be less rigorous  in
some  markets. Finally,  political factors  may have  an impact  in the  form of
confiscatory taxation, expropriation or  political instability in  international
markets.
 
    Although  the Portfolio will seek the most favorable trading costs available
in any given  market, investors  should recognize that  foreign commissions  are
generally  higher than those  in the U.S. In  addition, custodial expenses, that
is, fees paid to financial institutions for holding the Portfolio's  securities,
will generally be higher than would be the case in the U.S.
 
    Some  foreign governments also  levy withholding taxes  against dividend and
interest  income.  Although  in  some  countries  a  portion  of  the  taxes  is
recoverable,  the non-recovered portion of foreign withholding taxes will reduce
the income the Portfolio receives from the companies comprising its investments.
 
    Investing  in  the  foreign  securities  of  developing  countries  presents
additional  considerations. The economies of individual developing countries may
differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in such  respects
as  growth of gross domestic product,  rate of inflation, currency depreciation,
capital  reinvestment,  resource  self-sufficiency   and  balance  of   payments
position.  Further, the economies of  developing countries generally are heavily
dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may  continue
to   be  adversely  affected  by  trade  barriers,  exchange  controls,  managed
adjustments in relative currency values and other protectionist measures imposed
or negotiated by the countries with which they trade. These economies also  have
been  and may continue  to be adversely  affected by economic  conditions in the
countries with which they trade.
 
    With respect  to  any  developing  country,  there  is  the  possibility  of
nationalization,   expropriation  or  confiscatory   taxation,  repatriation  of
investment income,  capital and  the  proceeds of  sales by  foreign  investors,
political  changes,  governmental regulation,  social instability  or diplomatic
developments (including war) which could adversely affect the economies of  such
countries  or the  value of the  Portfolio's investments in  those countries. In
addition, it may  be difficult  to obtain  and enforce  a judgement  in a  court
outside of the United States.
 
    The  Portfolio may engage  in various investment  techniques such as futures
contracts, options  on  futures  contracts,  options,  and  interest  rate  swap
transactions.  See "Other Investment Policies-Hedging and Related Strategies and
Risk Considerations" for more information on these instruments.
 
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
    The Portfolio may also, under normal circumstances, invest up to 35% of  its
assets,  unless restricted by  additional limitations described  below or in the
Portfolio's Statement of  Additional Information, in  the following  securities,
investments or investment techniques.
 
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
 
    In   order  to  earn  a  return   on  uninvested  assets,  meet  anticipated
redemptions, or for  temporary defensive  purposes, the Portfolio  may invest  a
portion of its assets in domestic and foreign money market instruments including
certificates  of deposit,  bankers acceptances,  time deposits,  U.S. Government
obligations,  U.S.  Government  agency  securities,  short-term  corporate  debt
securities,  and  commercial  paper  rated  A-1  or  A-2  by  Standard  & Poor's
Corporation or  Prime-1 or  Prime-2 by  Moody's Investors  Service, Inc.  or  if
unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
    In  a repurchase agreement,  the Portfolio purchases a  security and, at the
same time, arranges to sell  it back to the  original seller on a  predetermined
date. The repurchase agreement states the price that the seller will pay for the
security  plus the interest  rate that the purchaser  will receive while holding
it. In effect, the  Portfolio is lending  its funds to the  seller at an  agreed
upon  interest  rate  and  receiving  a security  as  collateral  for  the loan.
Repurchase agreements  can range  from overnight  to a  fixed term.  They are  a
common way to earn interest on short-term funds.
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
    The  seller under  a repurchase agreement  will be required  to maintain the
value of  the securities  subject to  the agreement  at not  less than  (1)  the
repurchase  price if such securities mature in own  year or less, or (2) 101% of
the repurchase  price if  such securities  mature  in more  than one  year.  The
Administrator  and  the Adviser  will  mark to  market  daily the  value  of the
securities purchased, and the Adviser will, if necessary, require the seller  to
maintain  additional securities to  ensure that the value  is in compliance with
the previous sentence.
 
    There are  some  risks involved  in  repurchase agreements.  If  the  seller
defaults  on its  agreement to buy  back the  securities and the  value of those
securities falls, the Portfolio may incur losses in selling these securities  on
the open market. Also, if the seller enters bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court may
decide  that  the  securities  are  collateral not  within  the  control  of the
Portfolio and therefore are  subject to sale by  the trustee in the  bankruptcy.
Finally,  it  is  possible that  the  Portfolio may  not  be able  to  prove its
ownership of the underlying securities.
 
    The Adviser  believes  that  these  risks can  be  controlled  by  carefully
reviewing  the  securities involved  in a  repurchase agreement  as well  as the
credit rating of the other party in the transaction. The Portfolio may invest in
repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities, certificates
of deposit,  bankers acceptances  and other  short-term securities  as  outlined
above.
 
WHEN-ISSUED, FORWARD DELIVERY AND DELAYED SETTLEMENT SECURITIES
 
    Occasionally  the  Portfolio  will  invest  in  securities  whose  terms and
characteristics are already known but which have not yet been issued. These  are
called  "when-issued" or "forward delivery" securities. Usually these securities
are purchased within a  month of their issue  date. "Delayed settlements"  occur
when  the Portfolio agrees to buy or sell securities at some time in the future,
making no payment until the transaction is actually completed.
 
    The Portfolio  will maintain  a separate  account of  cash, U.S.  Government
securities  or other high-grade debt obligations at  least equal to the value of
the purchase commitments until payment is made. Typically, no income accrues  on
securities  purchased on a delayed delivery basis  prior to the time delivery of
the securities is made although the  Portfolio may earn income on securities  it
has deposited in a segregated account.
 
    The Portfolio engages in these types of purchases in order to buy securities
that  fit with its investment objectives at attractive prices -- not to increase
its investment leverage.
 
    Securities purchased on  a when-issued  basis may decline  or appreciate  in
market value prior to their actual delivery to the Portfolio.
 
HEDGING AND RELATED STRATEGIES AND RISK CONSIDERATIONS
 
    The Portfolio may use options (both exchange-traded and over-the-counter) to
attempt  to  enhance  income. To  reduce  the  overall risk  of  its investments
(hedge), the Portfolio may  use options, futures  contracts, options on  futures
and  forward currency contracts.  These instruments are  commonly referred to as
derivatives. Hedging strategies  may also be  used in an  attempt to manage  the
Portfolio's  exposure to changing  interest rates, security  prices and currency
exchange rates. The Portfolio may buy  or sell futures contracts, write  covered
call  options and buy  put and call  options on any  security, index or currency
including options and futures traded on foreign exchanges and options not traded
on exchanges. The Portfolio's ability to use these strategies may be limited  by
market  conditions, regulatory  limits and  tax considerations.  The Portfolio's
obligation under such hedging strategies will be covered by the maintenance of a
segregated account  of  cash, U.S.  Government  securities or  high  grade  debt
obligations  equal to at least 100% of the Portfolio's commitment. The Statement
of  Additional  Information  contains  further  information  on  all  of   these
strategies and the risks associated with them.
 
    The  Portfolio  may  write  or  purchase  options  in  privately  negotiated
transactions ("OTC  Options") as  well as  listed options.  OTC Options  can  be
closed  out only by agreement  with the other party  to the transaction. Any OTC
Option purchased by the  Portfolio is considered an  illiquid security. Any  OTC
Option  written by the Portfolio will be  with a qualified dealer pursuant to an
agreement under  which the  Portfolio may  repurchase the  option at  a  formula
price. Such options are considered illiquid to the extent that the formula price
exceeds  the intrinsic value  of the option.  The Portfolio may  not purchase or
sell futures contracts or related options for which the aggregate initial margin
and premiums exceed 5% of  the fair market value  of the Portfolio's assets.  In
order  to prevent leverage in connection  with the purchase of futures contracts
or call options thereon by the Portfolio, an amount of cash, cash equivalents or
liquid high grade debt  securities equal to the  market value of the  obligation
under  the futures contracts or options  (less any related market deposits) will
be maintained in a segregated account  with the Fund's Custodian. The  Portfolio
may  not  invest more  than 15%  of its  net assets  in illiquid  securities and
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
repurchase agreements which have  a maturity of longer  than seven days. A  more
complete  discussion of the potential risks  involved in transactions in options
or futures  contracts and  related  options is  contained  in the  Statement  of
Additional Information.
 
    The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for
the  purchase or sale of a specified  currency at a specified future date either
with respect to specific  transactions or with  respect to portfolio  positions.
For example, when the Adviser anticipates making a currency exchange transaction
in  connection with the purchase or sale  of a security, the Portfolio may enter
into a  forward  contract  in order  to  set  the exchange  rate  at  which  the
transaction  will be made. The Portfolio also  may enter into a forward contract
to sell an amount of a foreign  currency approximating the value of some or  all
of the Portfolio's securities denominated in such currency.
 
    The  Portfolio may  use forward  contracts in  one currency  or a  basket of
currencies to hedge against fluctuations in  the value of another currency  when
the  Adviser anticipates there will be a correlation between the two and may use
forward currency contracts to shift the Portfolio's exposure to foreign currency
fluctuations from one  country to another.  The purpose of  entering into  these
contracts  is to minimize the risk to  the Portfolio from adverse changes in the
relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies.
 
    The Portfolio may  enter into interest  rate protection transactions,  which
consist  of interest rate swaps and interest  rate caps, collars and floors, for
hedging purposes. These transactions are  commonly known as derivatives. A  swap
is  an agreement  to exchange  the return  generated by  one instrument  for the
return generated by  another instrument. The  swaps in which  the Portfolio  may
also engage include interest rate caps, floors and collars under which one party
pays  a single or periodic  fixed amount (or premium),  and the other party pays
periodic amounts on the movement of a specified index.
 
    The Portfolio  may  enter  into interest  rate  protection  transactions  to
preserve  a  return or  spread  on a  particular  investment or  portion  of its
portfolio or  to protect  against any  increase in  the price  of securities  it
anticipates  purchasing at a later date.  The Portfolio will enter into interest
rate protection transactions only with  banks and recognized securities  dealers
believed  by  the Adviser  to present  minimal credit  risks in  accordance with
guidelines established by  the Fund's  Board of Trustees.  Interest rate  swaps,
caps,  floors  and  collars will  be  treated  as illiquid  securities  and will
therefore,  be  subject  to  the  Portfolio's  investment  restriction  limiting
investment in illiquid securities to no greater than 15% of net assets.
 
    RISK  CONSIDERATIONS.   The Portfolio  might not  employ any  of the hedging
strategies described above, and there can be no assurance that any strategy used
will succeed. If the Adviser incorrectly forecasts interest rates, market values
or other  economic  factors in  utilizing  a  strategy for  the  Portfolio,  the
Portfolio  would  be in  a  better position  if  it had  not  hedged at  all. In
addition, the Portfolio will pay commissions and other costs in connection  with
such  hedging strategies which may increase  the Portfolio's expenses and reduce
its return.
 
    The use of these strategies involves  certain risks, including (1) the  fact
that skills needed to use hedging instruments are different from those needed to
select  the Portfolio's securities, (2)  possible imperfect correlation, or even
no correlation,  between  price  movements  of  hedging  instruments  and  price
movements  of the  investments being  hedged, (3)  the fact  that, while hedging
strategies can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for
gain, or  even result  in losses,  by offsetting  favorable price  movements  in
hedged  investments and (4) the possible  inability of the Portfolio to purchase
or sell a portfolio security at a time that otherwise would be favorable for  it
to do so, or the possible need for the Portfolio to sell a portfolio security at
a  disadvantageous  time, due  to  the need  for it  to  maintain "cover"  or to
segregate securities in  connection with hedging  transactions and the  possible
inability of the Portfolio to close out or to liquidate its hedged position.
 
RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES
 
    The Portfolio may purchase restricted securities that are not registered for
sale  to  the general  public but  which  are eligible  for resale  to qualified
institutional investors under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under the
supervision of  the  Fund's  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Adviser  determines  the
liquidity of such investments by
considering  all  relevant  factors.  Provided that  a  dealer  or institutional
trading market in such  securities exists, these  restricted securities are  not
treated  as  illiquid  securities  for purposes  of  the  Portfolio's investment
limitations. The  Portfolio may  also invest  up to  15% of  its net  assets  in
securities  that are illiquid  by virtue of  the absence of  a readily available
market or because  of legal or  contractual restrictions on  resale. The  prices
realized  from the sales of these securities could be less than those originally
paid by the Portfolio or less than what may be considered the fair value of such
securities.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
 
    The Portfolio may lend its investment securities to qualified  institutional
investors   who  need  to  borrow  securities   in  order  to  complete  certain
transactions, such  as  covering  short  sales,  avoiding  failures  to  deliver
securities  or  completing arbitrage  operations.  The Portfolio  will  not loan
portfolio securities to the extent that greater than one-third of its assets  at
fair  market  value, would  be  committed to  loans.  By lending  its investment
securities, the Portfolio attempts to increase its income through the receipt of
interest on the loan.  Any gain or  loss in the market  price of the  securities
loaned  that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of
the Portfolio. The  Portfolio may  lend its investment  securities to  qualified
brokers, dealers, domestic and foreign banks or other financial institutions, so
long  as the terms, the structure and the aggregate amount of such loans are not
inconsistent with the  Investment Company Act  of 1940 (the  "1940 Act") or  the
Rules  and  Regulations  or  interpretations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") thereunder, which  currently require that (a)  the
borrower  pledge and maintain with the  Portfolio collateral consisting of cash,
an irrevocable letter  of credit issued  by a domestic  U.S. bank or  securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government having a value at all times not less
than  100% of the value  of the securities loaned, (b)  the borrower add to such
collateral whenever the price of the securities loaned rises (i.e., the borrower
"marks to  the market"  on a  daily  basis), (c)  the loan  be made  subject  to
termination  by  the  Portfolio at  any  time,  and (d)  the  Portfolio receives
reasonable interest on the loan (which  may include the Portfolio investing  any
cash  collateral in interest bearing short-term investments). All relevant facts
and circumstances,  including  the creditworthiness  of  the broker,  dealer  or
institution,  will be considered in making decisions with respect to the lending
of securities, subject to review by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
    At the present  time, the  Staff of  the Commission  does not  object if  an
investment  company pays  reasonable negotiated  fees in  connection with loaned
securities so long as such fees are set forth in a written contract and approved
by the investment company's  Board of Trustees. The  Portfolio will continue  to
retain  any voting rights with  respect to the loaned  securities. If a material
event occurs affecting an investment on a loan, the loan must be called and  the
securities voted.
 
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
 
    This Portfolio is managed for long-term appreciation, rather than short-term
trading  profits. It is expected that the annual portfolio turnover rate for the
Portfolio will not  exceed 75%. (A  turnover rate  of 100% would  mean that  all
securities  in  the  Portfolio  would be  replaced  within  a  one-year period.)
However, portfolio  turnover depends  to a  great degree  on market  conditions.
Occasionally,  when  the  market  shifts  suddenly  or  when  the  prospects for
individual stocks change  quickly, the  Adviser may  find it  necessary to  sell
securities  which have not  been in the  Portfolio for very  long. High rates of
portfolio turnover necessarily result in heavier brokerage and portfolio trading
costs which is paid by the Portfolio. Higher rates of turnover may result in the
realization of capital  gains. To the  extent net short-term  capital gains  are
realized,  any distributions resulting  from such gains  are considered ordinary
income for federal income tax purposes.  The Portfolio will not normally  engage
in short-term trading, but it reserves the right to do so.
 
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
 
    To  help reduce the Portfolio's exposure  to risk in specific situations, it
has adopted certain limitations associated  with its investments and  investment
practices.  These  policies  and  limitations  are  considered  at  the  time of
purchase. The sale of instruments is not  required in the event of a  subsequent
change in circumstances.
 
    The Portfolio's limitations are as follows:
 
    (a)With respect to 75% of its assets, the Portfolio may not own more than 5%
       of  the securities of any single issuer (other than investments issued or
       guaranteed  by  the   U.S.  Government   or  any  of   its  agencies   or
       instrumentalities);
 
    (b)With  respect to 75% of  its assets, the Portfolio  may not own more than
       10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer;
 
    (c)The Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its assets in securities  of
       issuers  (other  than  securities issued  or  guaranteed by  the  U.S. or
       foreign governments  or their  political  subdivisions) that  have  (with
       predecessors) less than 3 years of continuous operation;
 
    (d)The  Portfolio may not  invest more than  25% of its  assets in companies
       within  a  single  industry;  however,   there  are  no  limitations   on
       investments  made  in  instruments  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.
       Government and its agencies;
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
    (e)The Portfolio may not make loans except by purchasing debt securities  in
       accordance  with its investment  objective and policies  or entering into
       repurchase agreements or  by lending its  portfolio securities to  banks,
       brokers, dealers or other financial institutions as long as the loans are
       made  in  compliance  with  the  1940 Act,  as  amended,  and  the rules,
       regulations and interpretations of the Commission;
 
    (f)The  Portfolio  may  not  borrow  except  from  banks  in   extraordinary
       circumstances for temporary or emergency purposes. In this situation, the
       Portfolio  may not (1) borrow  more than 33 1/3%  of its gross assets and
       (2) cannot buy additional  securities if it borrows  more than 5% of  its
       total assets; and
 
    (g)Pledge,  mortgage or hypothecate more than 33 1/3% of its total assets at
       fair market value.
 
    The Portfolio's investment  objective and investment  limitations (a),  (b),
(d), (e) and (f.1) listed above are fundamental policies and may be changed only
with  the  approval of  the  holders of  a  majority of  the  outstanding voting
securities of the  Portfolio. The other  investment limitations described  here,
those  not specified as fundamental in  the Statement of Additional Information,
and the  Portfolio's investment  policies are  not fundamental,  and the  Fund's
Board of Trustees may change them without shareholder approval.
 
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
 
    The  Portfolio's  Investment Advisory  Agreement  authorizes the  Adviser to
select the  brokers or  dealers that  will execute  the purchases  and sales  of
investment  securities for the  Portfolio. The Agreement  directs the Adviser to
use its  best efforts  to obtain  the best  available price  and most  favorable
execution for all the Portfolio's transactions.
 
    It  is not  the Fund's  practice to  allocate brokerage  or effect principal
transactions with dealers  on the basis  of sales  of shares which  may be  made
through  broker-dealer firms.  However, the  Adviser may  place Portfolio orders
with qualified broker-dealers who recommend the  Portfolio or who act as  agents
in the purchase of shares of the Portfolio for their clients.
 
    Some  securities  considered for  investment by  the  Portfolio may  also be
appropriate for other clients served  by the Adviser. If  a purchase or sale  of
securities  is consistent with the investment  policies of the Portfolio and one
or more of these other clients served  by the Adviser is considered at or  about
the  same  time, transactions  in such  securities will  be allocated  among the
Portfolio and clients  in a  fair and reasonable  manner. Although  there is  no
specified  formula  for  allocating such  transactions,  the  various allocation
methods used by the Adviser, and the result of such allocations, are subject  to
periodic review by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
                     BUYING, SELLING AND EXCHANGING SHARES
 
    Shares  of the Portfolio are offered through RFI Distributors, a division of
Regis Retirement Plan Services, Inc., to investors at net asset value without  a
sales  commission.  The minimum  initial  investment is  $500,000,  with certain
exceptions determined from time to time by the officers of the Fund. The minimum
for subsequent investments is $1,000.
 
    Shares of the Portfolio may be  purchased by customers of broker-dealers  or
other  financial  intermediaries  ("Service Agents")  which  have  established a
shareholder servicing relationship with the  Fund on behalf of their  customers.
Service  Agents may impose  additional or different  conditions or other account
fees on the purchase and redemption  of Portfolio shares. Each Service Agent  is
responsible  for transmitting to its  customers a schedule of  any such fees and
information regarding any additional or different conditions regarding purchases
and redemptions. Shareholders who are customers of Service Agents should consult
their Service Agent for information regarding these fees and conditions. Certain
Service Agents may receive compensation  from the Fund, the Fund's  Distributor,
the  Adviser, or any  of the Adviser's  affiliates. A salesperson  and any other
person entitled  to  receive compensation  for  selling or  servicing  Portfolio
shares  may receive different compensation with  respect to one particular class
of shares over another in the Fund.
 
    Service Agents  may  enter confirmed  purchase  orders on  behalf  of  their
customers.  If you buy shares of the Portfolio in this manner, the Service Agent
must receive your investment order before the  close of trading on the NYSE  and
transmit  it to  the Fund's Transfer  Agent prior  to the close  of the Transfer
Agent's business day and to the  Distributor to receive that day's share  price.
Proper  payment for the  order must be  received by the  Transfer Agent no later
than the  time when  the Portfolio  is  priced on  the following  business  day.
Service  Agents  are responsible  to their  customers, the  Fund and  the Fund's
Distributor for timely transmission of all subscription and redemption requests,
investment information, documentation and money.

    To  make additional investments to an  account you have already established,
simply mail your check to  The Regis Service Center  at the address above.  Make
sure  that your account number, account name,  and the name of the Portfolio are
clearly indicated on the check so that we can properly credit your account.
 
    For both initial and additional investments, your funds will be credited  to
your account at the next share price calculated for the Portfolio after receipt.
Investments  received by 4 p.m.  will be invested at  the share price calculated
after the market closes on the same day. (For example, if your check arrives  on
Tuesday  morning, you  will purchase  shares at  the price  calculated after the
market close on Tuesday.)
 
HOW TO BUY SHARES BY WIRE
 
    To make an initial investment by wire, you must first telephone the Fund  at
1-800-638-7983. A representative will then ask you to provide the account number
from  which you plan to  wire the funds, the  bank or financial institution, its
address, phone  number  and  your social  security  or  taxpayer  identification
number. You will then tell the representative which Portfolio you wish to invest
in  and how much  you want to  invest. The representative  will then provide you
with an account number. Please write it down and keep it for your records.
 
    Once you have an account number, call your bank and instruct them to wire  a
specified  amount to the Fund's custodian,  Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York ("Custodian Bank"). You will be asked to provide the following information:
 
                   Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
                               New York, NY 10015

                              DDA Acct. # 00166500
                            F/B/O The Regis Fund II
                    Ref: MJI International Equity Portfolio
                              Your account number:
                              -------------------
                               Your account name:
                              -------------------
 
    After you have instructed  the bank to  wire the money,  you must forward  a
completed  Account  Registration Form  to The  Regis Service  Center as  soon as
possible.  You  can  obtain  forms  by  calling  The  Regis  Service  Center  at
1-800-638-7983.  Federal Funds purchases will be  accepted only on days when the
NYSE and the Custodian Bank are open for business.
 
    Once you have made  the initial purchase, you  may buy additional shares  by
wire  at any time by  following the instructions above.  On all wired purchases,
funds will  be invested  at the  share price  calculated after  the next  market
close.
 
IN-KIND PURCHASES
 
    Under  certain circumstances,  investors who own  securities may  be able to
exchange them  directly for  shares of  the Portfolio  without converting  their
investments  into cash first.  The Portfolio will  accept such in-kind purchases
only if  the securities  offered for  exchange meet  the Portfolio's  investment
criteria, which are set forth in the "Details on Investment Policies" section of
this   Prospectus.  Once   accepted,  the   shares  will   be  valued  according
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
to the process described in "How Share  Prices are Determined" at the same  time
the Portfolio's shares are valued. Once a value has been determined for both, an
exchange  will be made.  All dividends, interest,  subscription, or other rights
pertaining to these securities  become the Fund's property;  if you receive  any
such  items, you must deliver them  to the Fund immediately. Securities acquired
through an in-kind purchase will be acquired for investment and not for resale.
 
    The Fund  will not  accept  securities for  exchange  unless they  meet  the
following criteria:
 
    - The  securities are  eligible to be  included in the  Portfolio and market
      quotes can readily be obtained for them  as evidenced by a listing on  the
      American Stock Exchange, the NYSE or NASDAQ.
 
    - The  investor  assures the  Fund that  the securities  are liquid  and not
      subject to any restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933 or any  other
      law or regulation.
 
    - The  value of the  securities exchanged does  not increase the Portfolio's
      position in  any  specific  issuer's  security to  more  than  5%  of  the
      Portfolio's net assets.
 
    For  tax purposes, the  IRS generally treats any  exchange of securities for
Portfolio shares as a sale  of the securities. This  means that if you  exchange
securities  which  have appreciated  in value  since you  bought them,  you will
realize capital gains and incur a tax  liability. If you are interested in  such
an  exchange, we suggest you  discuss any potential tax  liability with your tax
adviser before proceeding.
 
RETIREMENT PLANS
 
    The Portfolio is also suitable for individual tax-deferred retirement  plans
including 401(k) Defined Contribution Plans and IRA Contributions or Rollovers.
 
HOW TO SELL SHARES
 
    You  may sell shares by telephone or mail  at any time, free of charge. Your
shares will  be  valued at  the  next price  calculated  after we  receive  your
instructions to sell.
 
BY MAIL
 
    To redeem by mail, include
 
    - your share certificates, if we have issued them to you;
 
    - a  letter  which  tells  us  how  many  shares  you  wish  to  redeem  or,
      alternatively, what dollar amount you wish to receive;
 
    - a signature guaranteed by your bank, broker or other financial institution
      (see "Signature Guarantees" below); and
 
    - any other  necessary legal  documents,  in the  case of  estates,  trusts,
      guardianships,  custodianships,  corporations, pension  and profit-sharing
      plans and other organizations.
 
    If you  are not  sure which  documents  to send,  please contact  The  Regis
Service Center at 1-800-638-7983.
 
BY TELEPHONE
 
    To   redeem  shares  by  telephone,  you  must  have  completed  an  Account
Registration Form and have returned it to  the Fund. Once this form is on  file,
simply  call the Fund and  request the redemption amount to  be mailed to you or
wired to  your  bank.  The  Fund  and the  Fund's  Transfer  Agent  will  employ
reasonable  precautions  to  make  sure that  the  instructions  communicated by
telephone  are  genuine.  You  will   be  asked  to  provide  certain   personal
identification when you open an account, and again, when you request a telephone
redemption. In addition, all telephone transaction requests will be recorded and
investors  may be required to provide additional telecopied written instructions
of such transaction requests.  Neither the Fund nor  the Transfer Agent will  be
responsible  for any loss, additional cost  or expense for following transaction
instructions received by telephone that it reasonably believes are genuine.
 
    To  change  the  commercial  bank  or  the  account  designated  to  receive
redemption  proceeds, a written request must be  sent to the Fund at the address
on the cover of this Prospectus. Requests to change the bank or account must  be
signed  by each  shareholder and each  signature must be  guaranteed. You cannot
redeem shares by  telephone if  you hold  stock certificates  for these  shares.
Please  contact one of the Fund's  representatives at 1-800-638-7983 for further
details.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
SIGNATURE GUARANTEES
 
    To protect your account, the Fund and the Fund's Transfer Agent from  fraud,
signature  guarantees are required for certain redemptions. Signature guarantees
are used to verify that the person who authorizes a redemption is, in fact,  the
registered shareholder. They are required whenever you:
 
    - redeem  shares and request that the proceeds be sent to someone other than
      the registered shareholder(s) or to an address which is not the registered
      address; or
 
    - transfer shares from one Portfolio to another.
 
    Signatures must  be guaranteed  by an  "eligible guarantor  institution"  as
defined  in Rule 17Ad-15 under  the Securities Exchange Act  of 1934. (The Regis
Service Center can  provide you with  a full  definition of the  term.) You  can
obtain  a  signature guarantee  at  almost any  bank,  as well  as  through most
brokers, dealers,  credit  unions,  national  securities  exchanges,  registered
securities   associations,   clearing   agencies   and   savings   associations.
Broker-dealers  guaranteeing  signatures  must  be   a  member  of  a   clearing
corporation  or maintain net capital of at least $100,000. Credit unions must be
authorized to issue signature guarantees. Signature guarantees will be  accepted
from  any  eligible  guarantor  institution which  participates  in  a signature
guarantee program. A notary public can not provide a signature guarantee.
 
    The signature guarantee must appear either:
 
    - on the written request for redemption; or
 
    - on a separate  instrument for  assignment (a "stock  power") which  should
      specify the total number of shares to be redeemed; or
 
    - on  all stock certificates tendered for redemption, and, if shares held by
      the Fund are also being redeemed, then on the letter or stock power.
 
FURTHER INFORMATION ON SELLING SHARES
 
    Normally, the  Fund  will  make  payment for  all  shares  sold  under  this
procedure  within one business day after we  receive a request. In no event will
payment be  made more  than seven  days  after receipt  of a  redemption  (sale)
request  in good order. The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone
the date at times when both the NYSE and Custodian Bank are closed, or under any
emergency circumstances as determined by the Commission.
 
    If the Fund's Board of Trustees  determines that it would be detrimental  to
the  best interests of the  remaining shareholders of the  Fund to make payments
wholly or partly in cash, the Fund  may pay the redemption proceeds in whole  or
in  part by a  distribution in-kind of  liquid securities held  by the Portfolio
instead of cash in conformity with applicable rules of the Commission. Investors
may incur  brokerage charges  when they  sell portfolio  securities received  in
payment of redemptions.
 
HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES
 
    You  may exchange Institutional Class Shares  of the Portfolio for any other
Institutional Class Shares of a Portfolio included in The Regis Family of  Funds
which  is comprised of The Regis Fund, Inc. and The Regis Fund II. (See the list
of Portfolios of The Regis Family of Funds -- Institutional Class Shares at  the
end  of this Prospectus.) When you exchange  shares you sell your old shares and
buy new ones, both at the price calculated after the next market close. There is
no sales charge for exchanges. Exchange requests may be made by phone or letter.
Telephone exchanges may be  made only if the  Fund holds all share  certificates
and  if the registration  of the two accounts  is identical. Telephone exchanges
received before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be processed at the share price  set
after  the market  closes on  the same day.  Exchanges received  after 4:00 p.m.
Eastern Time will be executed at the share price determined at the market  close
on  the following day.  For additional information  regarding responsibility for
the authenticity of telephoned transaction instructions, see "How to Sell Shares
- -- By Telephone"  above. The  Fund may  also limit  both the  frequency and  the
amount  of  exchanges  permitted  if  it  is  in  the  interest  of  the  Fund's
shareholders.  The  exchange  privilege  is  only  available  with  respect   to
Portfolios that are registered for sale in a shareholder's state of residence.
 
    Please  review a Portfolio's investment objective before shifting money into
it. Make sure its objective and strategies fit with your long-term goals. Before
exchanging into a  Portfolio, read its  Prospectus. You may  obtain one for  the
Portfolio(s)  you  are interested  in  by calling  The  Regis Service  Center at
1-800-638-7983. Remember, every time  you exchange shares  of one Portfolio  for
another,    your   transaction   is   counted   as   a   sale   of   the   first
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
security and  a purchase  of  the second.  As  a result,  you  may incur  a  tax
liability  by exchanging  shares if  your investment  has appreciated  since you
bought it. Consult  your tax  adviser to  determine your  liability for  capital
gains taxes.
 
                        HOW SHARE PRICES ARE DETERMINED
 
    The  value of each share  of the Portfolio is  calculated every day that the
NYSE is  open. This  means that  shares  are revalued  after the  market  close,
generally  at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on  Monday through Friday, except for major
holidays when the NYSE is closed.
 
    The value of the Portfolio share is determined by adding up the total market
value of  all  the securities  in  the Portfolio  plus  cash and  other  assets,
deducting   liabilities  and  then  dividing  by  the  total  number  of  shares
outstanding.
 
    For stocks, we use the  last quoted trading price  as the market value.  For
listed  stocks, we use  the price quoted by  the exchange on  which the stock is
primarily traded. Unlisted stocks and listed  stocks which have not been  traded
on  the valuation date or for which  market quotations are not readily available
are valued at a price between the last  price asked and the last price bid.  For
valuation  purposes, quotations of foreign securities  in a foreign currency are
converted to U.S. dollar equivalents based upon the bid price of such currencies
against U.S. dollars quoted by any major bank or by a broker. The value of other
assets and securities for which  no quotations are readily available  (including
restricted  securities) is determined in good  faith at fair value using methods
determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
                DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
 
DIVIDENDS
 
    Stocks generate income in the form of dividends. The Portfolio will normally
distribute substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders in the
form of an annual dividend. If any net capital gains are realized, the Portfolio
will normally distribute  such gains  annually. This  means that  the amount  of
income  net  of  expenses each  share  has earned  over  the past  year  will be
determined and subtracted  from the total  share value. The  net income is  then
either  distributed to you in cash or  reinvested in Portfolio shares at the new
after-dividend price, depending  on your instructions  to the Portfolio.  Unless
you specifically tell us to distribute dividend income in cash, however, we will
assume you want this income reinvested.
 
    Reinvested  dividend distributions will  affect your tax  liability. By law,
you must  pay taxes  on any  dividend or  interest income  you receive  on  your
investments  whether distributed in cash or  reinvested in shares. The Portfolio
will send you a statement  at the end of the  year telling you exactly how  much
dividend income you have earned for tax purposes.
 
CAPITAL GAINS
 
    Capital   gains  are  another  source  of  appreciation  to  the  Portfolio.
Basically, a  capital gain  is an  increase in  the value  of a  stock or  bond.
However,  for  tax purposes,  the Portfolio  does not  "realize" a  capital gain
unless it sells a stock or bond which has appreciated.
 
    You can incur  capital gains in  two ways.  First, if the  Portfolio buys  a
stock  or bond at one price, then sells it  at a higher price, it will realize a
capital gain. At the end of the  year, the capital gains the Portfolio has  made
are  added up and  capital losses are  subtracted. If any  net capital gains are
realized, the Portfolio will normally  distribute such gains annually. You  will
receive  a statement at the end  of the year informing you  of your share of the
Portfolio's capital gains.
 
    The second way to incur  capital gains is to sell  or trade your shares.  If
you  sell  shares  at a  higher  price than  you  bought  them at,  you  will be
responsible for paying taxes on your  gain. There are several ways to  determine
your  tax liability, and we suggest you  contact a qualified tax adviser to help
you decide which is best for you.
 
TAXES
 
    The Portfolio  intends  to qualify  each  year as  a  "regulated  investment
company"  under Federal tax law, and if  it qualifies, the Portfolio will not be
liable for Federal income  taxes, because it will  have distributed all its  net
investment  income and net realized  capital gains to shareholders. Shareholders
will then have to pay taxes on  dividends, whether they are distributed as  cash
or  are reinvested in shares, and on net short-term capital gains. Dividends and
short-term capital gains  will be  taxed as ordinary  income. Long-term  capital
gains distributions are
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
taxed  as  long-term  capital gains.  Such  dividends and  distributions  may be
subject to state  and local taxes.  Redemptions of shares  in the Portfolio  are
taxable  events  for Federal  income  tax purposes.  A  shareholder may  also be
subject to state and local taxes on such redemptions.
 
    Dividends declared  in October,  November and  December to  shareholders  of
record  in such a month will be treated as if they had been paid by the Fund and
received by the shareholders on December 31 of the same calendar year,  provided
that the dividends are paid before February of the following year.
 
    The  Fund is required by Federal law  to withhold 31% of reportable payments
(which may include dividends, capital gains distributions and redemptions)  paid
to  shareholders who have not  complied with IRS regulations.  In order to avoid
this withholding requirement, you must certify on the Account Registration  Form
or on a separate form supplied by the Fund that your Social Security or Taxpayer
Identification  Number  you  have  provided  is correct  and  that  you  are not
currently subject  to backup  withholding or  that you  are exempt  from  backup
withholding.
 
    Dividends   and  interest  received  by  the  Portfolio  may  give  rise  to
withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. These taxes reduce the
Portfolio's dividends but are  included in the taxable  income reported on  your
tax  statement if the Portfolio  qualifies for this tax  treatment and elects to
pass it through to  you. You may be  able to claim an  offsetting tax credit  or
itemized  deduction for foreign taxes paid  by the Portfolio. Your tax statement
will generally show the amount  of foreign tax for  which a credit or  deduction
may be available.
 
                       FUND MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
    The  Adviser is an  international investment adviser and  is an affiliate of
the MJ Group, in Glasgow,  Scotland. The MJ Group's  origins date back to  1907,
and it currently has $6.7 billion in assets under management. The MJ Group has a
200-member  staff including 40 investment  professionals. It became a subsidiary
of United Asset Management Corporation in 1993. The Adviser, the  SEC-registered
entity  within the MJ Group, has $1.2 billion of assets under management and has
U.S. offices in Chicago.
 
    The Portfolio pays an annual fee in monthly installments to the Adviser  for
advisory  services.  This  fee  is  accrued daily  and  paid  every  month  as a
percentage of  the average  net assets  in  the Portfolio  for that  month.  The
percentage  fee on  an annual  basis is 0.75%.  This investment  advisory fee is
higher than that paid by many mutual funds but not necessarily higher than  fees
paid by funds with investment objectives similar to that of the Portfolio.
 
    The  Adviser may compensate its affiliated companies for referring investors
to the Portfolio. The Adviser and its  parent company may also make payments  to
unaffiliated  brokers who perform distribution, marketing, shareholder and other
services with respect to the Portfolio.
 
    The investment professional  at the Adviser  responsible for the  day-to-day
management of the Portfolio and his qualifications are as follows:
 
    RODGER  SCULLION,  MANAGING  DIRECTOR  OF  THE  ADVISER,  has  23  years  of
investment experience, the last 11 years based in Glasgow with the MJ Group.  He
is  the  portfolio manager  of the  Murray Smaller  Markets Investment  Trust, a
closed-end investment fund registered in the United Kingdom, which invests in as
many as 45  markets worldwide. Mr.  Scullion is the  Adviser's Chief  Investment
Officer and the lead person on the country allocation team. During his tenure at
the  MJ Group, he has held portfolio management responsibilities for investments
in the U.S., Europe, Japan and the Far East.
 
ADMINISTRATOR
 
    United States  Trust  Company  of  New  York  ("U.S.  Trust"),  through  its
affiliate,  Mutual  Funds  Service Company,  provides  all  administrative, fund
accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent services to the Fund.
 
    The Chase Manhattan Corporation, the  parent company of The Chase  Manhattan
Bank,  N.A. ("Chase")  and U.S.  Trust Corporation,  the parent  company of U.S.
Trust, have entered into a merger agreement which, when completed, will transfer
U.S. Trust's securities  processing businesses, including  Mutual Funds  Service
Company,  to Chase. It is anticipated that this transaction will be completed in
September  of  1995  and  will  not   affect  the  nature  or  quality  of   the
administrative services furnished to the Fund and its Portfolios.
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
    According  to  the Fund  Administration  Agreement, the  Portfolio  pays the
administrator a fee for  its services. This  fee is a portion  of the total  fee
paid by all the Regis Portfolios. On an annualized basis, this total fee equals:
 
       0.20% of the first $200 million in combined Fund assets
       0.12% of the next $800 million in combined Fund assets
       0.08% on assets over $1 billion but less than $3 billion
       0.06% on assets over $3 billion
 
    Fees  are  allocated among  the Portfolios  on the  basis of  their relative
assets and are subject to a designated minimum fee schedule per Portfolio  which
ranges  from $2,000 per month upon inception  of a Portfolio to $70,000 annually
after two years.

                            GENERAL FUND INFORMATION
 
    The  Portfolio is one of a series of investment portfolios available through
The Regis Fund II, an open-end investment company known as a "mutual fund." Each
of the Portfolios which  make up the Fund  have different investment  objectives
and  policies. Together, the Portfolios  offer a diverse set  of risk and return
characteristics to suit a wide range  of investor needs. The Fund was  organized
on May 18, 1994 as a Delaware business trust.
 
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
 
    The   Officers  of  the  Fund  manage  its  day-to-day  operations  and  are
responsible to the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Trustees set broad policies for
the Fund and elect its Officers.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
    The Fund's Agreement and Declaration of  Trust permits the Fund to issue  an
unlimited  number  of  shares of  beneficial  interest, without  par  value. The
Trustees have  the power  to  designate one  or  more series  ("Portfolios")  or
classes of shares of beneficial interest without further action by shareholders.
 
    The  shares of  each Portfolio and  class have  noncumulative voting rights,
which means that  the holders  of more  than 50% of  the shares  voting for  the
election  of Trustees can elect 100% of the Trustees if they choose to do so. As
of July 31, 1995,  Veco International, Inc. 401(k)  Savings Plan, Anchorage,  AK
held  of record 45.1% of the Portfolio.  The persons or organizations owning 25%
or more of the outstanding  shares of a Portfolio  may be presumed to  "control"
(as  that term is  defined in the 1940  Act) such Portfolio.  As a result, those
persons or organizations could have the ability to vote a majority of the shares
of the Portfolio on  any matter requiring the  approval of shareholders of  such
Portfolio. A shareholder is entitled to one vote for each full share held (and a
fractional  vote for each  fractional share held),  then standing in  his or her
name on  the books  of  the Fund.  Both  Institutional Class  and  Institutional
Service Class Shares represent an interest in the same assets of a Portfolio and
are identical in all respects except that the Institutional Service Class Shares
bear  certain  expenses  related  to shareholder  servicing,  may  bear expenses
related to the distribution of such shares and have exclusive voting rights with
respect to matters relating to such distribution expenditures. The Fund will not
ordinarily hold shareholder  meetings except  as required  by the  1940 Act  and
other  applicable laws. The  Fund has undertaken  that its Trustees  will call a
meeting of shareholders if such a meeting is requested in writing by the holders
of not  less than  10% of  the outstanding  shares of  the Fund.  To the  extent

                        AS SUPPLEMENTED OCTOBER 31, 1995

    The  information in  the Prospectus under  the heading  "Fund Management 
and Administration -- The Administrator" is replaced by the following:

    Pursuant to a Fund Administration Agreement dated April 15, 1996, UAM 
    Fund Services, Inc. ("UAMFSI") a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Asset 
    Management Corporation with its principal office located at 211 Congress 
    Street, Boston, MA 02110, is responsible for performing and overseeing 
    administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agency 
    services provided to the Fund and its Portfolios. UAMFSI has 
    subcontracted the performance of certain of such services to Chase Global 
    Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"), an affiliate of The Chase Manhattan 
    Bank, pursuant to a Mutual Funds Service Agreement dated April 15, 1996. 
    CGFSC is located at 73 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02108-3913. Effective 
    April 1, 1996, The Chase Manhattan Corporation, the parent of The Chase 
    Manhattan Bank merged with and into Chemical Banking Corporation, the 
    parent company of Chemical Bank. Chemical Banking Corporation is the 
    surviving corporation and will continue its existence under the name "The 
    Chase Manhattan Corporation". 

    Each Portfolio pays to UAMFSI a monthly fee comprised of two parts: a 
    Portfolio-specific fee which is retained by UAMFSI and a 
    sub-administration fee which UAMFSI in turn pays to CGFSC. The 
    Portfolio-specific fees for the IRC Enhanced Index Portfolio are 0.04% 
    of aggregate net assets. The sub-administration fee calculated on an 
    annualized basis equals: 0.19 of 1% of the first $200 million of total 
    net assets of the Fund; 0.11 of 1% of the next $800 million of total net 
    assets of the Fund; 0.07 of 1% of total net assets in excess of $1 
    billion but less than $3 billion; and 0.05 of 1% of total net assets in 
    excess of $3 billion. The sub-administration fees are allocated among the 
    Portfolios on the basis of their relative assets and are subject to a 
    graduated minimum fee schedule per Portfolio of $2,000 per month upon 
    inception of a Portfolio to $70,000 annually after two years. If a 
    separate class of shares is added to a Portfolio, the minimum annual fee 
    payable by that Portfolio may be increased by up to $20,000.

    The information relating to the Portfolio's fee and expense information 
under the heading "Fees and Expenses" is amended to reflect that the revised 
administrative fees when reflected in the "Estimated Annual Fund Operating 
Expenses" table results in Administrative Fees of 0.17% and Total Operating 
Expenses of 0.98%. In addition, the example of expenses over 1 and 3 years 
should be modified to reflect expenses of $10 and $31, respectively, over 
these periods.

    The information in the Prospectus under the headings "Summary: About The 
Portfolio" and "Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares" is amended to reflect 
that the minimum initial investment in the Portfolio is $2,500 with certain 
exceptions as may be determined from time to time by the officers of the 
Fund. The minimum for any subsequent investment is $100.

    The information in the Prospectus under the heading "Fund Management and 
Administration -- The Investment Adviser" is amended by the following: As of 
July 1, 1996, Investment Research Company, the investment adviser to the 
Portfolio, is relocating to 16236 San Dieguito Road, Rancho Santa Fe, 
California.

                          PROSPECTUS -- MARCH 31, 1995
 
    IRC  Enhanced Index  Portfolio is one  of a series  of investment portfolios
available through The Regis Fund II (the "Fund"), an open-end investment company
known as a  "mutual fund." Each  of the Portfolios  that make up  the Fund  have
different investment objectives and policies. In addition, several of the Fund's
Portfolios  offer two separate classes of shares: Institutional Class Shares and
Institutional Service Class Shares.  Shares of each  class represent equal,  pro
rata  interests in a  Portfolio and accrue  dividends in the  same manner except
that Institutional Service Class Shares bear certain fees payable by that  class
to  financial  institutions for  services  they provide  to  the owners  of such
shares. IRC Enhanced Index Portfolio currently offers only one class of  shares.
The  securities offered in this Prospectus are Institutional Class Shares of one
diversified, no-load  Portfolio  of  the Fund  managed  by  Investment  Research
Company.
 
    The  IRC Enhanced Index Portfolio  is a mutual fund  portfolio which seeks a
total return exceeding that of the Standard & Poor's Composite Stock Price Index
("S&P 500"). IRC plans  to achieve this objective  by employing its  proprietary
analytic  technology to invest in a  diversified portfolio of common stocks that
are listed in the S&P 500 ("S&P 500 stocks"). There can be no assurance that the
objective will be achieved.
 
    Please  keep  this  Prospectus  for  future  reference  since  it   contains
information  that you should understand before you  invest. You may also wish to
review the IRC Enhanced Index Portfolio's "Statement of Additional  Information"
dated March 31, 1995 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and  has been  incorporated by  reference into  this Prospectus.  (It is legally
considered to be a part of this Prospectus.) Please call or write The Regis Fund
II at the above address to obtain a free copy of this Statement.
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES  AND
   EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  OR ANY  STATE  SECURITIES COMMISSION  NOR  HAS THE

<PAGE>
                       SUMMARY: ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO . . .
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
    The Portfolio seeks a total return exceeding that of the S&P 500.
 
HOW IS THE PORTFOLIO MANAGED?
 
    The  Portfolio's assets  are invested  in stocks  selected from  the S&P 500
universe of  stocks. The  Portfolio's investment  adviser uses  a  sophisticated
mathematical  model to guide  its investment selections.  The investment process
seeks to select  stocks whose stock  prices taken together  will perform  better
than the S&P 500. A key to this process is limiting risk.
 
    The  Portfolio's investment  policy to limit  risk has  three main elements.
First, Investment  Research  Company  (the "Adviser")  classifies  the  S&P  500
universe  into 20 industrial sectors such as Transportation, Communications, and
Health Care.  Thus each  sector  contains 25  stocks,  on average.  Within  each
sector,  the  Adviser selects  an average  of 10  stocks. Consequently,  risk is
limited by diversification, since the Portfolio holds approximately 200  stocks,
each  from the S&P 500 universe. The second element of risk control is that once
every three  months the  Portfolio is  rebalanced so  that the  fraction of  the
Portfolio  invested in each sector  matches the sector's weight  in the S&P 500.
The third element of  risk control is the  Adviser's policy of selecting  stocks
for the Portfolio so that the weight of each stock in the Portfolio matches that
stock's  weight in the S&P 500, plus or minus a tolerance of approximately .80%,
or 80 basis points.
 
    In managing the Portfolio, the Adviser  uses no futures contracts, no  other
derivatives,  no  short sales  or other  hedging  strategies, and  no repurchase
agreements. The investment  objective is  intended to be  achieved only  through
purchases of S&P 500 stocks and U.S. Treasury securities.
 
    To  select  stocks  within  each  of the  20  sectors,  the  Adviser  uses a
mathematical model developed during a combined total of 40 years of research  by
two of the Adviser's principals when they were professors in the Graduate School
of  Business at the University  of Chicago. The model  is based on the principle
that institutional investors dominate the  demand for stocks, and  institutional
preferences  change  slowly  over  the  near  term  (3-6  months).  These stable
preferences are important determinants  of the sensitivity  of stock returns  to
trends  now underway  in factors  such as  inflation and  interest rates  and in
individual stock fundamentals such as dividends and price/earning ratios.
 
    The Adviser focuses on  comparisons among stocks and  not on market  timing.
Generally,  the Portfolio  will be  fully invested  in stocks  from the  S&P 500
universe. The Portfolio may invest  up to 10% of  its assets in short-term  (one
year  or less to  maturity) U.S. Treasury  securities as a  cash reserve to hold
cash received  from  shareholders  pending  investment  or  to  meet  redemption
requests from shareholders.
 
    The  S&P 500 is  composed of 500  selected common stocks,  most of which are
listed on the  New York Stock  Exchange. Standard &  Poor's Corporation  ("S&P")
chooses  the stocks to be included in the S&P 500 solely on a statistical basis.
The weights of stocks in  the S&P 500 are based  on each stock's relative  total
market  value which is defined  as the stock's market  price per share times the
number of  shares  outstanding.  Stocks  currently  in  the  S&P  500  represent
approximately  two-thirds of the  total market value of  all U.S. common stocks.
The Portfolio is neither sponsored by nor affiliated with S&P. (See "Details  on
Investment Policies.")
 
WHO MANAGES THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The  Adviser is Investment Research Company.  The Adviser is a subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation and has approximately $1.5 billion of assets
under management  for  institutional investors,  including  corporations,  state
governments,  labor unions, mutual funds, and individuals. (See "Fund Management
and Administration.")
 
WHO SHOULD INVEST IN THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    Participants in 401(k)  pension plans and  other defined-contribution  plans
who  believe  that steady,  highly diversified  investments  in stocks  of major
corporations offer  the  best  returns over  time,  plus  reasonable  protection
against  inflation over  the long  run (10 years  or more).  The minimum initial
investment in the Portfolio by any pension plan is $100,000.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
 
    An investment in the Portfolio presents  risks similar to what is  generally
termed  "overall  market risk".  This means  that  the Portfolio  presents risks
roughly the same as those  which would be incurred  by investing in a  portfolio
comprised  of the common stocks of all 500 companies listed in the S&P 500, with
the weight of each stock in the portfolio equal to the stock's weight in the S&P
500. (See "Details on Investment Policies.")
 
                            PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
 
    The Portfolio measures performance by calculating total return. Total return
figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future
performance.
 
    Total return is the change in value of an investment in the Portfolio over a
given period,  assuming  reinvestment of  any  dividends and  capital  gains.  A
cumulative  or aggregate total return reflects  actual performance over a stated
period of time. An average annual total return is a hypothetical rate of  return
that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if  performance had been  constant over the entire  period. Average annual total
returns smooth out variations  in performance; they are  not the same as  actual
year-by-year results.
 
    The  Portfolio's performance may be compared to data prepared by independent
services which monitor the performance of investment companies, data reported in
financial and industry publications, and various indices as further described in
the Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information.
 
    Since this  is a  new Portfolio,  we  can offer  no information  about  past
performance.  However, the Adviser  has a six-year  record of performance, using
investment strategies that are substantially  similar to the strategy that  will
be  used to manage the Portfolio. (See "Adviser's Historical Performance.") When
the Portfolio's  performance  history  becomes  available,  you  will  find  it,
together  with  comparisons to  appropriate indices,  in the  Portfolio's Annual
Report to Shareholders, which may be obtained without charge.

                        ADVISER'S HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
 
    Set forth  below  are  certain  performance data  provided  by  the  Adviser
pertaining  to the  composite of  equity accounts  of tax-exempt  clients of the
Adviser (for a list of the  Adviser's current clients, see "Fund Management  and
Administration").  These  accounts  had  the same  investment  objective  as the
Portfolio and were managed using substantially similar (though not in all  cases
identical)  investment strategies and techniques as those for the Portfolio. The
results presented  are not  intended to  predict  or suggest  the return  to  be
experienced  by the Portfolio or the return an individual investor might achieve
by investing  in the  Portfolio. The  investment returns  of the  Portfolio  may
differ from those of individual client accounts because, among other things, the
Portfolio's fees and expenses may differ from those of the individual accounts.

Notes:      1. The  ANNUALIZED RATE OF  RETURN is calculated  from monthly data,
allowing for compounding. The
formula used  is in  accordance with  the acceptable  methods set  forth by  the
Association   of  Investment   Management  Research,   the  Bank  Administration
Institute, and the Investment  Counsel Association of  America. Market value  of
the  account was  the sum  of the account's  total assets,  including cash, cash
equivalents, short-term  investments, and  securities valued  at current  market
prices.
 
          2.  The  CUMULATIVE RETURN  means that  $1  invested in  the composite
account on January 1, 1989 had grown to $2.19 by December 31, 1994.
 
          3. The SIX-YEAR MEAN is the  arithmetic average of the annual  returns
for the years listed.
 
          4.  The S&P  500 is an  unmanaged index which  assumes reinvestment of
dividends  and   is   generally   considered  representative   of   U.S.   large
capitalization stocks.
 
          5.  The  Adviser's average  annual  management fee  over  the six-year
period 1989-1994 was 0.52%, or 52 basis  points. During the period, fees on  the
Adviser's  individual accounts ranged from .20% to  .80% (that is, from 20 to 80
basis points). Net returns to investors vary depending partly on the  management
fee.

                         DETAILS ON INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
    The  investment  objective of  the Portfolio  is to  produce a  total return
exceeding that  of  the  S&P 500,  although  there  is no  guarantee  that  this
objective will be achieved.
 
    The Portfolio's assets are invested in the stocks of some but not all of the
companies  in the  S&P 500 universe.  The Portfolio's investment  adviser uses a
mathematical model to help  make the investment decisions.  The objective is  to
build  the Portfolio whose returns will exceed those of the S&P 500. Every three
months the Adviser evaluates each stock in the S&P 500 universe for inclusion in
the Portfolio, attempting to select the best performers, within constraints  for
risk control.
 
    The  Adviser believes that institutions create  the major demand for stocks,
and institutional preferences change  slowly over the  short term (3-6  months).
These stable preferences are therefore important determinants of the sensitivity
of  stock  returns  to  various  factors and  combinations  of  factors  such as
inflation and interest rates. Institutional investor preferences also depend  on
individual   stock   attributes  such   as   price/earnings  ratios   and  other
fundamentals. These  preferences  are identifiable,  according  to  mathematical
research,  so  today's factor  values  can be  used  to estimate  the short-term
performance of each stock in each of 20 sectors of the S&P 500 universe relative
to other stocks in that sector.
 
    The elements of risk control in  the investment strategy are the  following.
Within  the Portfolio, at least 90% of the net asset value is allocated strictly
to stocks from the S&P 500 universe; the balance of 10% or less is allocated  to
short-term U.S. Treasury securities (maturities of one year or less). No hedging
strategies,  no  financial  derivatives,  no  futures  contracts,  no repurchase
agreements, and  no instruments  other than  S&P 500  stocks and  U.S.  Treasury
securities are used to achieve the investment objective.
 
    Risk  control is also achieved  through rebalancing and diversification. The
Portfolio is rebalanced every 90  days so its weights in  each of 20 sectors  of
the  S&P 500 universe match  the weights of the  sectors in the universe itself.
Rebalancing is also done to insure that for each stock in the S&P 500  universe,
the stock's percentage weight in the Portfolio matches the stock's weight in the
S&P  500, plus  or minus  a tolerance  of approximately  .80% (that  is 80 basis
points).  Consequently,   the   Portfolio   is   highly   diversified,   holding
approximately 200 of the 500 stocks in the S&P 500 universe.
 
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
 
    In  order to maintain liquidity to  meet anticipated redemptions and to hold
cash received from shareholders pending investment, up to 10% of the Portfolio's
assets may be invested in U.S.  Treasury securities with maturities of one  year
or less.
 
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
 
    The  Adviser seeks to maintain turnover at  a low level. Every 90 days, only
the oldest one-third of  the stocks (by value)  in the Portfolio are  considered
for  trading. It is  anticipated that the Portfolio's  annual turnover rate will
not exceed 100% under normal circumstances. (A turnover rate of 100% would  mean
that  all  securities  in the  Portfolio  would  be replaced  within  a one-year
period.) However,  portfolio  turnover  depends  to a  great  degree  on  market
conditions.
 
    Portfolio  turnover may result  in the realization of  capital gains. To the
extent that  net  short-term  capital  gains  are  realized,  any  distributions
resulting  from such gains are considered ordinary income for federal income tax
purposes.
 
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
 
    To help reduce the Portfolio's exposure  to risk in specific situations,  it
has  adopted certain limitations associated  with its investments and investment
practices. These  policies  and  limitations  are  considered  at  the  time  of
purchase.  The sale of instruments is not  required in the event of a subsequent
change in circumstances.
 
    The Portfolio's limitations are as follows:
 
    (a) With respect to 75% of its  assets, the Portfolio may not own more  than
5%  of the  securities of  any single issuer  (other than  investments issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities);
 
    (b) With respect to 75% of its  assets, the Portfolio may not own more  than
10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer;
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
    (c) The Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its assets in securities of
issuers  (other  than securities  issued or  guaranteed by  the U.S.  or foreign
governments or their political subdivisions) that have (with predecessors)  less
than 3 years of continuous operation;
 
    (d)  The Portfolio may not  invest more than 25%  of its assets in companies
within a single industry; however, there are no limitations on investments  made
in instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies;
 
    (e) The Portfolio may not make loans except by purchasing debt securities in
accordance   with  its  investment  objective  and  policies  or  entering  into
repurchase agreements or by lending its portfolio securities to banks,  brokers,
dealers  or  other financial  institutions  as long  as  the loans  are  made in
compliance with the Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended, or the  rules,
regulations and interpretations of the Commission;
 
    (f)  The  Portfolio  may  not  borrow  except  from  banks  in extraordinary
circumstances for  temporary  or  emergency purposes.  In  this  situation,  the
Portfolio  may not  (i) borrow more  than 33 1/3%  of its gross  assets and (ii)
cannot buy additional securities if it borrows more than 5% of its total assets;
and
 
    (g) The Portfolio may not pledge, mortgage or hypothecate more than 33  1/3%
of its total assets at fair market value.
 
    The  Portfolio's investment  objective and investment  limitations (a), (b),
(d), (e) and  (f)(i) listed above  are fundamental policies  and may be  changed
only  with the approval of  the holders of a  majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio. The other investment limitations described here and
those not specified as fundamental in the Statement of Additional Information as
well as the Portfolio's investment policies  are not fundamental and the  Fund's
Board of Trustees may change them without shareholder approval.
 
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
 
    The  Portfolio's  Investment Advisory  Agreement  authorizes the  Adviser to
select the  brokers or  dealers that  will execute  the purchases  and sales  of
investment  securities for the  Portfolio. The Agreement  directs the Adviser to
use its  best efforts  to obtain  the best  available price  and most  favorable
execution for all the Portfolio's transactions.
 
    The Adviser does not direct its brokerage and principal business to firms on
the  basis  of how  many Portfolio  shares  such firms  have sold.  However, the
Adviser may place Portfolio orders  with qualified broker-dealers who  recommend
the  Portfolio or who act  as agents in the purchase  of shares of the Portfolio
for their clients.
 
    Some securities  considered for  investment  by the  Portfolio may  also  be
appropriate  for other clients served  by the Adviser. If  a purchase or sale of
securities is consistent with the investment  policies of the Portfolio and  one
or  more of these other clients served by  the Adviser is considered at or about
the same  time, transactions  in such  securities will  be allocated  among  the
Portfolio  and clients  in a  fair and reasonable  manner. Although  there is no
specified formula  for  allocating  such transactions,  the  various  allocation
methods  used by the Adviser, and the result of such allocations, are subject to
periodic review by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
                     BUYING, SELLING AND EXCHANGING SHARES
 
    Shares of the Portfolio are offered to investors at net asset value  without
a sales commission through RFI Distributors, a division of Regis Retirement Plan
Services,  Inc.  The  minimum  initial  investment  is  $100,000,  with  certain
exceptions determined from time to time by the officers of the Fund. The minimum
for subsequent investments is $1,000.
 
    Shares of the Portfolio may be  purchased by customers of broker-dealers  or
other  financial  intermediaries  ("Service Agents")  which  have  established a
shareholder servicing relationship with the  Fund on behalf of their  customers.
Service  Agents may impose  additional or different  conditions or other account
fees on the purchase and redemption  of Portfolio shares. Each Service Agent  is
responsible  for transmitting to its  customers a schedule of  any such fees and
information regarding any additional or different conditions regarding purchases
and redemptions. Shareholders who are customers of Service Agents should consult
their Service Agent for information regarding these fees and conditions. Certain
Service Agents may receive compensation  from the Fund, the Fund's  Distributor,
the  Adviser, or any  of the Adviser's  affiliates. A salesperson  and any other
person entitled  to  receive compensation  for  selling or  servicing  Portfolio
shares  may receive different compensation with  respect to one particular class
of shares over another in the Fund.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
    Service Agents  may  enter confirmed  purchase  orders on  behalf  of  their
customers.  If you buy shares of the Portfolio in this manner, the Service Agent
must receive your investment order before the  close of trading on the New  York
Stock  Exchange ("NYSE"), and transmit it to  the Fund's Transfer Agent prior to
the close of the Transfer Agent's business day and to the Distributor to receive
that day's share price.  Proper payment for  the order must  be received by  the
Transfer  Agent  no later  than the  time when  the Portfolio  is priced  on the
following business day. Service Agents  are responsible to their customers,  the
Fund  and the Fund's Distributor for timely transmission of all subscription and
redemption requests, investment information, documentation and money.

HOW TO BUY SHARES BY WIRE
 
    To  make an initial investment by wire, you must first telephone the Fund at
1-800-638-7983. A representative will then ask you to provide the account number
from which you plan to  wire the funds, the  bank or financial institution,  its
address,  phone  number  and  your social  security  or  taxpayer identification
number. You will then tell the representative which Portfolio you wish to invest
in, how  much you  want  to invest  and  which bank  is  wiring the  funds.  The
representative  will then  provide you with  an account number.  Please write it
down and keep it for your records.
 
    Once you have an account number, call your bank and instruct them to wire  a
specified  amount to the Fund's custodian,  Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York ("Custodian Bank"). You will be asked to provide the following information:
 
                   Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York

                       Ref: IRC Enhanced Index Portfolio
                              Your Account Number
                              -------------------
                               Your Account Name
                              -------------------
 
    After you have instructed  the bank to  wire the money,  you must forward  a
completed  Account  Registration Form  to The  Regis Service  Center as  soon as
possible.  You  can  obtain  forms  by  calling  The  Regis  Service  Center  at
1-800-638-7983.  Federal Funds purchases will be  accepted only on days when the
NYSE and the Custodian Bank are open for business.
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
    Once you have made  the initial purchase, you  may buy additional shares  by
wire  at any time by  following the instructions above.  On all wired purchases,
funds will  be invested  at the  share price  calculated after  the next  market
close.
 
IN-KIND PURCHASES
 
    Under  certain circumstances,  investors who own  securities may  be able to
exchange them  directly for  shares of  the Portfolio  without converting  their
investments  into cash first.  The Portfolio will  accept such in-kind purchases
only if  the securities  offered for  exchange meet  the Portfolio's  investment
criteria  which are set forth in the "Details on Investment Policies" section of
this Prospectus.  Once accepted,  the shares  will be  valued according  to  the
process  described in  "How Share  Prices are Determined"  at the  same time the
Portfolio's shares are  valued. Once a  value has been  determined for both,  an
exchange  will be made.  All dividends, interest,  subscription, or other rights
pertaining to these securities  become the Fund's property;  if you receive  any
such  items, you must deliver them  to the Fund immediately. Securities acquired
by the Portfolio through an in-kind purchase will be acquired for investment and
not for resale.
 
    The Fund  will not  accept  securities for  exchange  unless they  meet  the
following criteria:
 
       -The  securities are eligible to be  included in the Portfolio and
        market quotes can readily be obtained for them.
 
       -The investor assures the Fund that the securities are not subject
        to any restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other
        law or regulation.
 
       -The value  of  the securities  exchanged  does not  increase  the
        Portfolio's  position in  any specific issuer's  security to more
        than 5% of the Portfolio's total net assets.
 
RETIREMENT PLANS
 
    The Portfolio  is  suitable  for individual  tax-deferred  retirement  plans
including 401(k) Defined Contribution Plans and IRA contributions or Rollovers.
 
HOW TO SELL SHARES
 
    You  may sell shares by telephone or mail  at any time, free of charge. Your
shares will  be  valued at  the  next price  calculated  after we  receive  your
instructions to sell.
 
BY MAIL
 
    To redeem by mail, include
 
       -your share certificates, if we have issued them to you;
 
       -a  letter which tells us  how many shares you  wish to redeem or,
        alternatively, what dollar amount you wish to receive;
 
       -a signature guaranteed  by your bank,  broker or other  financial
        institution (see "Signature Guarantees" below); and
 
       -any  other  necessary legal  documents, in  the case  of estates,
        trusts, guardianships, custodianships, corporations, pension  and
        profit-sharing plans and other organizations.
 
    If  you are not  sure of which  documents to send,  please contact The Regis
Service Center at 1-800-638-7983.
 
BY TELEPHONE
 
    To  redeem  shares  by  telephone,  you  must  have  completed  an   Account
Registration Form and returned it to the Fund. Once this form is on file, simply
call  the Fund and request the redemption amount to be mailed to you or wired to
your bank.  The  Fund and  the  Fund's  Transfer Agent  will  employ  reasonable
precautions  to make  sure that the  instructions communicated  by telephone are
genuine. You will be asked to  provide certain personal identification when  you
open  an  account,  and  again,  when you  request  a  telephone  redemption. In
addition, all telephone transaction requests will be recorded and investors  may
be  required  to  provide  additional telecopied  written  instructions  of such
transaction  requests.  Neither  the  Fund  nor  the  Transfer  Agent  will   be
responsible  for any loss, additional cost or expense for following instructions
received by telephone  that it reasonably  believes are genuine.  To change  the
name  of the  commercial bank  or the  account designated  to receive redemption
proceeds, a written request must be sent to the Fund at the address on the cover
of this Prospectus. Requests to change the bank or
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
account  must  be  signed  by  each  shareholder  and  each  signature  must  be
guaranteed. You cannot redeem shares by telephone if you hold stock certificates
for   these  shares.  Please  contact  one  of  the  Fund's  representatives  at
1-800-638-7983 for further details.
 
SIGNATURE GUARANTEES
 
    To protect your account, the Fund and the Fund's Transfer Agent from  fraud,
signature  guarantees are required for certain redemptions. Signature guarantees
are used to verify that the person who authorizes a redemption is, in fact,  the
registered shareholder. They are required whenever you:
 
       -redeem  shares and request  that the proceeds  be sent to someone
        other than the registered shareholder(s)  or to an address  which
        is not the registered address; or
 
       -transfer shares from one Portfolio to another.
 
    Signatures  must  be guaranteed  by an  "eligible guarantor  institution" as
defined in Rule 17Ad-15  under the Securities Exchange  Act of 1934. (The  Regis
Service  Center can  provide you with  a full  definition of the  term.) You can
obtain a signature guarantee at almost any bank as well as through most brokers,
dealers, credit  unions, national  securities exchanges,  registered  securities
associations,   clearing  agencies  and   savings  associations.  Broker-dealers
guaranteeing signatures must be a member  of a clearing corporation or  maintain
net  capital of  at least  $100,000. Credit unions  must be  authorized to issue
signature guarantees. Signature  guarantees will be  accepted from any  eligible
guarantor  institution which  participates in  a signature  guarantee program. A
notary public can not provide a signature guarantee.
 
    The signature guarantee must appear either:
 
       -on the written request for redemption; or
 
       -on a separate instrument for  assignment (a "stock power")  which
        should specify the total number of shares to be redeemed; or
 
       -on all stock certificates tendered for redemption, and, if shares
        held  by the Fund are also being  redeemed, then on the letter or
        stock power.
 
FURTHER INFORMATION ON SELLING SHARES
 
    Normally, the  Fund  will  make  payment for  all  shares  sold  under  this
procedure  within one business day after we  receive a request. In no event will
payment be  made more  than seven  days  after receipt  of a  redemption  (sale)
request  in good order. The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone
the date at times when both the NYSE and Custodian Bank are closed or under  any
emergency  circumstances as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission").
 
    If the Fund's Board of Trustees  determines that it would be detrimental  to
the  best interests of the  remaining shareholders of the  Fund to make payments
wholly or partly in cash, the Fund  may pay the redemption proceeds in whole  or
in  part by a  distribution in-kind of  liquid securities held  by the Portfolio
instead of cash in conformity with applicable rules of the Commission. Investors
may incur  brokerage charges  when they  sell portfolio  securities received  in
payment of redemptions.
 
TO EXCHANGE SHARES
 
    You  may exchange Institutional Class Shares  of the Portfolio for any other
Institutional Class Shares of a Portfolio included in The Regis Family of  Funds
which  is comprised of The Regis Fund, Inc. and The Regis Fund II. (See the list
of Portfolios of The Regis Family of Funds at the end of this Prospectus.)  When
you exchange shares you sell your old shares and buy new ones, both at the price
calculated  after the next market close. There is no sales charge for exchanges.
Exchange requests may  be made by  phone or letter.  Telephone exchanges may  be
made  only if the Fund  holds all share certificates  and if the registration of
the two  accounts  is identical.  Telephone  exchanges received  before  4  p.m.
Eastern time will be processed at the share price set after the market close the
same  day. Exchanges received after 4 p.m.  Eastern time will be executed at the
share price determined  at the market  close the following  day. For  additional
information   regarding  responsibility  for   the  authenticity  of  telephoned
transaction instructions, see "How  to Sell Shares --  By Telephone" above.  The
exchange  privilege  is  only  available with  respect  to  Portfolios  that are
registered for sale in a shareholder's state of residence.
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
    Neither the Fund nor the Fund's Transfer Agent will take responsibility  for
ensuring  it is indeed the shareholder  issuing the exchange orders; however, we
may use some of the precautions described above for selling shares. The Fund may
also limit both the frequency and the amount of exchanges permitted if it is  in
the interest of the Fund's shareholders.
 
    Please review a Portfolio's investment objectives before shifting money into
it.  Make  sure its  objectives and  strategies fit  with your  long-term goals.
Before exchanging into a Portfolio, read its Prospectus. You may obtain one  for
the  Portfolio(s) you are interested  in by calling The  Regis Service Center at
1-800-638-7983. Remember, every time  you exchange shares  of one Portfolio  for
another,  your transaction  is counted  as a  sale of  the first  security and a
purchase of the second. As a result, you may incur a tax liability by exchanging
shares if your investment has appreciated since you bought it. Consult your  tax
adviser to determine your liability for capital gains taxes.
 
                        HOW SHARE PRICES ARE DETERMINED
 
    We  calculate the value  of each share  of the Portfolio  every day that the
NYSE is  open.  This  means that  shares  are  valued after  the  market  close,
generally  at 4  p.m. Eastern  time on Monday  through Friday,  except for major
holidays when the NYSE is closed.
 
    To determine how much each share is worth, we add up the total market  value
of  all  the securities  in the  Portfolio  plus cash  and other  assets, deduct
liabilities and then divide by the total number of shares outstanding.
 
    For stocks, we use the  last quoted trading price  as the market value.  For
listed  stocks, we use  the price quoted by  the exchange on  which the stock is
primarily traded. Unlisted stocks and listed  stocks which have not been  traded
on  the valuation date or for which  market quotations are not readily available
are valued at a price between the last price asked and the last price bid.
 
    The value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
available (including restricted securities) is determined in good faith at  fair
value using methods determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
                DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
 
DIVIDENDS
 
    Stocks generate income in the form of dividends. The Portfolio will normally
distribute  substantially all of its net investment income from its investments,
as well as any interest earned  from short-term investments, to shareholders  in
the form of quarterly dividends. This means that the amount of income each share
has  earned over  the past  quarter will be  determined and  subtracted from the
total share value.  The income  is then  either distributed  to you  in cash  or
reinvested  in Portfolio  shares at the  new after-dividend  price, depending on
your  instructions  to  the  Portfolio.  Unless  you  specifically  tell  us  to
distribute dividend income in cash, however, we will assume you want this income
reinvested.  By law,  you must  pay taxes  on any  dividend you  receive on your
investments whether distributed in cash  or reinvested in shares. The  Portfolio
will  send you a statement at  the end of the year  telling you exactly how much
dividend income you have earned for tax purposes.
 
CAPITAL GAINS
 
    Capital  gains  are  another  source  of  appreciation  to  the   Portfolio.
Basically,  a capital  gain is  an increase  in the  value of  a stock  or bond.
However, for tax purposes, you do not need to "realize" capital gains unless you
sell the stock or bond which has appreciated.
 
    You can incur  capital gains in  two ways.  First, if the  Portfolio buys  a
stock  or bond at one price, then sells it  at a higher price, it will realize a
capital gain. At the end of the  year, the capital gains the Portfolio has  made
are added up and capital losses are subtracted. The total is then divided by the
number  of  shares  outstanding. If  any  net  capital gains  are  realized, the
Portfolio will  normally distribute  such  gains annually.  You will  receive  a
statement  at the end of the year informing you of your share of the Portfolio's
capital gains.
 
    The second way to incur capital gains is to sell or exchange your shares. If
you sell  shares  at a  higher  price  than you  bought  them at,  you  will  be
responsible  for paying taxes on your gain.  There are several ways to determine
your tax liability, and we suggest you  contact a qualified tax adviser to  help
you decide which is best for you.
 
TAXES
 
    The  Portfolio  intends  to qualify  each  year as  a  "regulated investment
company" under Federal tax law, and if  it qualifies, the Portfolio will not  be
liable  for Federal income taxes,  because it will have  distributed all its net
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
investment income and net realized  capital gains to shareholders.  Shareholders
will  then have to pay taxes on  dividends, whether they are distributed as cash
or are reinvested in shares, and on net short-term capital gains. Dividends  and
short-term  capital gains  will be taxed  as ordinary  income. Long-term capital
gains distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains.
 
    Dividends declared  in October,  November and  December to  shareholders  of
record  in such a month will be treated as if they had been paid by the Fund and
received by the shareholders on December 31 of the same calendar year,  provided
that the dividends are paid before February of the following year.
 
    The  Fund is required by Federal law  to withhold 31% of reportable payments
(which may include dividends, capital gains distributions and redemptions)  paid
to  shareholders who have not  complied with IRS regulations.  In order to avoid
this withholding requirement, you must certify on the Account Registration  Form
or on a separate form supplied by the Fund that your Social Security or Taxpayer
Identification  Number  you  have  provided  is correct  and  that  you  are not
currently subject  to backup  withholding or  that you  are exempt  from  backup
withholding.

                            GENERAL FUND INFORMATION
 
    The Portfolio is one of a series of investment portfolios available  through
The Regis Fund II, an open-end investment company known as a "mutual fund." Each
of  the Portfolios which  make up the Fund  have different investment objectives
and policies. Together, the  Portfolios offer a diverse  set of risk and  return
characteristics  to suit a wide range of  investor needs. The Fund was organized
on May 18, 1994 as a Delaware business trust.
 
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
 
    The  Officers  of  the  Fund  manage  its  day-to-day  operations  and   are
responsible to the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Trustees set broad policies for
the Fund and elect its Officers.
 
    The  Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust  permits the Fund to issue an
unlimited number  of  shares of  beneficial  interest, without  par  value.  The
Trustees  have  the power  to  designate one  or  more series  ("Portfolios") or
classes of shares of beneficial interest without further action by shareholders.
 
    The shares of  each Portfolio  and class have  noncumulative voting  rights,
which  means that  the holders  of more than  50% of  the shares  voting for the
election of Trustees can elect 100% of the  Trustees if they choose to do so.  A
shareholder  is entitled to one vote for  each full share held (and a fractional
vote for each fractional share held), then standing in his name on the books  of
the  Fund.  Both  Institutional  Class and  Institutional  Service  Class Shares
represent an interest in the same assets of a Portfolio and are identical in all
respects except  that  the  Institutional  Service  Class  Shares  bear  certain
expenses  related to  shareholder servicing,  may bear  expenses related  to the
distribution of such  shares and have  exclusive voting rights  with respect  to
matters relating to such distribution expenditures. The Fund will not ordinarily
hold  shareholder meetings except  as required by the  Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, and  other applicable laws. The  Fund has undertaken that  its
Trustees  will call a meeting of shareholders  if such a meeting is requested in
writing by the holders  of not less  than 10% of the  outstanding shares of  the
Fund.  To  the  extent  required  by  the  undertaking,  the  Fund  will  assist
shareholder communications in such matters.
 
    NO PERSON  HAS  BEEN AUTHORIZED  TO  GIVE ANY  INFORMATION  OR TO  MAKE  ANY
REPRESENTATIONS  OTHER  THAN  THOSE  CONTAINED  IN  THIS  PROSPECTUS  OR  IN THE
PORTFOLIO'S STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE  OFFERING
MADE  BY  THIS  PROSPECTUS  AND,  IF GIVEN  OR  MADE,  SUCH  INFORMATION  OR ITS
REPRESENTATIONS MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON  AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE  FUND.
THIS  PROSPECTUS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFERING BY THE FUND IN ANY JURISDICTION
IN WHICH SUCH OFFERING MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY MADE.
