                         PROSPECTUS -- JANUARY 29, 1995
 
    Newbold's  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. Newbold's 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  Newbold's   Asset
Management, Inc.
 
    The  Newbold's  Equity Portfolio  seeks to  achieve maximum  long-term total
return, consistent with reasonable risk to principal, by investing primarily  in
a  diversified  portfolio  of  undervalued  equity  securities  of statistically
attractive companies. 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 Newbold's  Equity Portfolio's "Statement  of Additional Information"
dated January  29,  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.

*Newbold's Asset  Management, Inc.  (the "Adviser")  has voluntarily  agreed  to
 waive  its  advisory fees  or  reimburse expenses,  if  necessary, in  order to
 guarantee the Portfolio's total  operating expenses (excluding interest,  taxes
 and  extraordinary  expenses) from  exceeding 0.90%  of  its average  daily net
 assets until  January 29,  1998.  If it  were not  for  the fee  waiver  and/or
 reimbursement,  the Portfolio's total annual  operating expenses would be 1.17%
 of average daily net assets. The  Portfolio will not reimburse the Adviser  for
 any advisory fees which the Adviser may bear on behalf of the Portfolio.
 
    Investors  can get a  better idea of how  the Portfolio's operating expenses

                        SUMMARY: ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO ...
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
    The  Portfolio seeks to  achieve maximum long-term  total return, consistent
with reasonable  risk to  principal,  by investing  primarily in  a  diversified
portfolio   of  undervalued   equity  securities   of  statistically  attractive
companies. The Adviser believes that  the Portfolio's performance over the  long
term  will be superior to  its benchmark index (the  Standard & Poor's 500 Stock
Index). There can  be no assurance  that the Portfolio  will achieve its  stated
objective.
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
HOW IS THE PORTFOLIO MANAGED?
 
    Newbold's  Asset Management,  Inc. (the "Adviser")  believes that investment
value and  return can  be  achieved by  investing in  stocks  with a  low  price
relative  to  current  earnings.  This  bottom-up  approach  seeks  to  identify
companies whose earnings growth suggests an increasing stream of future dividend
income and whose share prices represent a level below realizable value.
 
WHO MANAGES THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The Adviser is a  registered investment adviser. Founded  in 1940, the  firm
currently  has over  $7 billion  in assets  under management.  The Adviser  is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of United Asset Management Corporation.
 
WHO SHOULD INVEST IN THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The Portfolio is  suitable for  investors who seek  maximum long-term  total
return  in their investments  and who are  comfortable with aggressively seeking
long-term returns.
 
                                  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.
 
    - 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 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
      which are the subject  of the hedge. Options  and futures transactions  in
      foreign  markets  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 may invest in the securities of foreign issuers which may be
      subject to additional risks factors, including foreign currency risks, not
      applicable to securities of U.S. issuers.
 
                            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,  all  as  further
described in the Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information.
 
    Since  this  is a  new Portfolio,  we  can offer  no information  about past
portfolio investment performance. When  this information 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.

                         DETAILS ON INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
    In seeking its investment objective, the Portfolio will invest at least  65%
of   its  total  assets,  under  normal  circumstances,  in  equity  securities,
consisting of  common  stock,  preferred  stock,  convertible  preferred  stock,
convertible  bonds, rights and warrants. The  Portfolio will invest primarily in
equity securities of large capitalization  companies which are defined as  those
with equity capitalizations greater than $1 billion at the time of purchase.
 
    The  Adviser believes  that investment value  and return can  be achieved by
investing in  stocks  with  a  low price  relative  to  current  earnings.  This
bottom-up approach seeks to identify companies whose earnings growth suggests an
increasing  stream of future dividend income  and whose share prices represent a
level below realizable value.
 
    The Adviser is able to identify prospective companies through a computerized
screening process which rates on four key elements: MARKET CAPITALIZATION --  $1
billion  or more for  purposes of liquidity; DIVIDEND  PAYOUT -- ordinarily must
pay cash dividends; FINANCIAL LEVERAGE --  debt should not be excessive, and  an
investment grade bond rating is required; and RETURN ON AVERAGE FIVE-YEAR EQUITY
- --  after the three previous criteria have been applied, this evaluation is used
as a measurement of profitability in selecting the top 500 companies.
 
    The stock issues of the top 500 companies are then sorted by  price/earnings
ratio,  ranked  from  highest  to  lowest  and  broken  into  five  groups, each
consisting of  100  stocks.  The  bottom  two  groups  are  subject  to  intense
fundamental analysis by the Adviser. The objective is to assemble a portfolio of
40-70  statistically  attractive  stocks which  represent  relative  "value" not
generally recognized by the market.  However, the Portfolio has the  flexibility
to  invest in less than 40  stocks or more than 70  stocks, as the Adviser deems
necessary. Earnings  for  cyclical  stocks  are  normalized  in  this  valuation
process.
 
    Once  the portfolio has  been constructed, its  price/earnings multiples are
continually  monitored.  The  Portfolio  will  stop  buying  a  stock  when  its
price/earnings  ratio  approaches  the current  price/earnings  multiple  of the
Standard & Poor's 500  Stock Index. The  stock is sold when  it moves above  the
market's multiple.
 
    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" 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%  its
assets,  unless restricted by  additional limitations described  below or in the
Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information, in the following securities  or
investment techniques:
 
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
 
    The   Portfolio  may  invest  in  foreign  equity  securities  of  developed
countries.  This  involves  additional  risks  not  typically  associated   with
investing  in domestic equity securities. Since the 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 U.S.
Political factors  may have  an impact  in the  form of  confiscatory  taxation,
expropriation or political instability in international markets.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
    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.
 
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).  ADRs  may  be  sponsored   or
unsponsored.  Sponsored ADRs  are established  jointly by  a depositary  and the
underlying  issuer,  whereas  unsponsored   ADRs  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.
 
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.
 
    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."

    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.
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
    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), it may use options,
futures contracts, and options on futures contracts. Hedging strategies may also
be used in an  attempt to manage the  Portfolio's exposure to changing  security
prices. 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 liquid 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 or index,  including 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. 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.
 
    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 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 investments 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 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
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
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, as  amended (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.
 
    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;
 
                                       6
<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,  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 (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,
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 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.
 
    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.

    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
                                ABA# 0210-0023-8
                             DDA Acct. #001-35-227
                            F/B/O The Regis Fund II
                        Ref: Newbold's 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
 
                                       8
<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
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.
 
    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 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 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.

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 p.m. will be processed at the share price set after the market
close the same  day. Exchanges received  after 4  p.m. 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.
 
    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,
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
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. 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 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 net of
expenses 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.
 
    Reinvested dividend distributions  will affect your  tax liability. 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.
 
    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 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  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.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
    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
 
THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
    The Adviser is a registered investment adviser formed in 1940. Its  business
offices  are  located at  950  Haverford Road  in  Bryn Mawr,  Pennsylvania. 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 $7 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 net assets in the Portfolio for that month. The percentage fee on an
annual basis is 0.50%.
 
    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.

U.S. Trust's securities  processing businesses, including  Mutual Funds  Service
Company,  to Chase. It is anticipated that this transaction will be completed in
the summer  of  1995,  and  will  not  affect  the  nature  or  quality  of  the
administrative services furnished to the Fund and its Portfolios.
 
    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

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.
 
    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 1940
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
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 -- JANUARY 29, 1995
 
    TJ  Core  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
(at  the maximum rate of .25% per  annum) to financial institutions for services
they provide to the  owners of such shares.  TJ Core Equity Portfolio  currently
offers  only one class of shares. The  securities offered in this Prospectus are
Institutional Service Class Shares ("Service  Class Shares") of one  diversified
Portfolio of the Fund managed by Tom Johnson Investment Management, Inc.
 
    The  TJ Core  Equity Portfolio  seeks maximum  total return  consistent with
reasonable risk  to  principal by  investing  in  the common  stock  of  quality
companies  with lower valuations in sectors of the economy exhibiting strong, or
improving relative performance.  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  TJ Core  Equity Portfolio's  "Statement of  Additional Information"
dated January  29,  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.

                       SUMMARY: ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO . . .
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
    The  Portfolio seeks maximum total return consistent with reasonable risk to
principal by  investing in  the common  stock of  quality companies  with  lower
valuations  in sectors of  the economy exhibiting  strong, or improving relative
performance. The Portfolio  may also invest  in other equity-related  securities
such  as  preferred  stocks, convertible  preferred  stocks,  convertible bonds,
options, futures,  rights and  warrants.  There can  be  no assurance  that  the
Portfolio will achieve its stated objective.
 
HOW IS THE PORTFOLIO MANAGED?
 
    Tom  Johnson  Investment  Management,  Inc.  (the  "Adviser")  believes that
maximum total return on  investment can be achieved  by analysis of current  and
anticipated  economic fundamentals,  asset allocation  between stocks,  cash and
cash equivalents in the anticipated  economic environment and identification  of
specific industry groups or specific industries which should benefit as a result
of anticipated economic fundamentals. (See "Details on Investment Policies.")
 
WHO MANAGES THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The Adviser is a registered investment adviser. Founded in 1983, the Adviser
currently has approximately $1.8 billion in assets under management. The Adviser
is  a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Asset Management Corporation. (See "Fund
Management and Administration.")
 
WHO SHOULD INVEST IN THE PORTFOLIO?
 
    The Portfolio is  suitable for investors  who seek maximum  total return  in
their  investments  and  who  are comfortable  with  the  risks  associated with
investing in  stocks  and  other  equity-related  securities.  (See  "Retirement
Plans.")
 
HOW TO INVEST
 
    The  Fund offers shares of beneficial interest of the Portfolio 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  through  RFI
Distributors, a division of Regis Retirement Plan Services, Inc., broker-dealers
and financial intermediaries or 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.
 
        - The  Portfolio may lend its investment securities which entails
          a risk of loss should a borrower fail financially.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
        - 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 invest a portion of its assets in derivatives
          including futures contracts and options.
 
        - The  Portfolio may invest in  the securities of foreign issuers
          which may  be subject  to  additional risk  factors,  including
          foreign  currency risks,  not applicable to  securities of U.S.
          issuers.
 
        - The fixed  income  securities held  by  the Portfolio  will  be
          affected  by  general changes  in  interest rates  resulting in
          increases or  decreases in  the value  of the  securities.  The
          value  of  fixed  income  securities can  be  expected  to vary
          inversely to the changes in prevailing interest rates, i.e., as
          interest rates  decline,  the  market  value  of  fixed  income
          securities tends to increase and vice versa.
 
        - The  Portfolio may invest in  investment grade debt securities,
          but reserves  the  right  to hold  securities  that  have  been
          downgraded.  Adverse economic and corporate changes and changes
          in interest rates may have a greater impact on issuers of lower
          rated debt securities which the  Portfolio may hold, 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 an adviser to a mutual fund.
 
    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.
 
    Since this  is a  new Portfolio,  we  can offer  no information  about  past
portfolio  performance. When this  information 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.

Prospectus or call 1-800-638-7983 to obtain your free copy of the Annual  Report
to Shareholders.
 
                         DETAILS ON INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
    In  seeking its investment objective, the Portfolio will invest at least 65%
of  its  total  assets,  under  normal  circumstances,  in  equity   securities,
consisting  primarily of common  stock of companies  with market capitalizations
greater than $200 million  at the time of  purchase. Furthermore, the  Portfolio
will  invest so  that 80% of  the Portfolio's  common stock holdings  will be of
issuers with market capitalizations greater than $800 million. The Portfolio may
also  invest  in  other  equity-related  securities  such  as  preferred  stock,
convertible preferred stock, convertible bonds, options on stock indices, rights
and  warrants.  The  Portfolio  may also  invest  up  to 35%  of  its  assets in
investment grade  debt securities  which are  generally considered  to be  those
securities  having one of the four  highest grades assigned by Moody's Investors
Service,   Inc.    (Aaa,   Aa,    A    or   Baa)    or   Standard    &    Poor's
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
Corporation  (AAA, AA, A  or BBB) or,  if unrated, of  equivalent quality in the
Adviser's  judgment.  Securities  rated  Baa  or  BBB  may  possess  speculative
characteristics  and may  be more  sensitive to changes  in the  economy and the
financial condition of issuers  than higher rated  securities. 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.  Up to  20%  of the  Portfolio's assets  may  be invested  in the
securities of foreign issuers.
 
    The Adviser believes that maximum total return can be achieved by  investing
in the common stock of quality companies with lower valuations in sectors of the
economy  exhibiting strong, or improving  relative performance. Beginning with a
thorough analysis of  current and anticipated  economic fundamentals,  examining
key  economic  variables such  as  the level  and  direction of  interest rates,
forecasted  growth  in  the  GDP,   anticipated  gains  in  corporate   profits,
inflationary pressures, and money supply growth, as well as other variables, the
Adviser  is able to determine the basis  for asset allocation between stocks and
cash and cash equivalents.
 
    The analysis of key economic  variables also helps identify industry  groups
or  specific industries which should benefit as a result of anticipated economic
fundamentals. These industry groups are  then analyzed in detail beginning  with
industry  screens, going onto individual  company analysis, and finally specific
purchase recommendations. Of particular interest to the Adviser is the valuation
being placed upon the company as well  as the forecasted growth in earnings  and
dividends over the next 1 to 5 years.
 
    It  is  anticipated that  cash reserves  will  represent a  relatively small
percentage of the  Portfolio's assets.  Under normal circumstances,  it will  be
less than 20%. However, 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 up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities which
involve  additional risks  not typically  associated with  investing in domestic
securities. Since the 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 U.S.
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.
 
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 ADRs may be established without participation by the
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
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.
 
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. 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.
 
FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS
 
    In  order to  remain fully  invested, and  to reduce  transaction costs, the
Portfolio may utilize  appropriate futures  contracts and options  to a  limited
extent.  For example, in order  to remain fully exposed  to the movements of the
market, while maintaining liquidity  to meet potential shareholder  redemptions,
the  Portfolio  may  invest  a  portion of  its  assets  in  appropriate futures
contracts. As futures contracts only require a small initial margin deposit, the
Portfolio would then be able to keep a cash reserve available to meet  potential
redemptions,  while at  the same  time being  effectively fully  invested. Also,
because transaction costs associated with futures and options may be lower  than
the  costs of investing in  securities directly, it is  expected that the use of
index futures and options  to facilitate cash flows  may reduce the  Portfolio's
overall transaction costs. The Portfolio will enter into
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
futures  contracts and options for bona fide hedging purposes only and for other
purposes  so  long  as  aggregate  initial  margins  and  premiums  required  in
connection  with non-hedging positions do not exceed 5% of the Portfolio's total
assets.
 
    The primary risks  associated with the  use of futures  and options are  (1)
imperfect  correlation between the change in market value of the securities held
by the  Portfolio  and  the  prices  of futures  and  options  relating  to  the
securities purchased or sold by the Portfolio; and (2) possible lack of a liquid
secondary market for a futures contract or option and the resulting inability to
close  a futures position which could have  an adverse impact on the Portfolio's
ability to hedge. In the  opinion of the Trustees,  the risk that the  Portfolio
will  be unable  to close  out a  futures position  or options  contract will be
minimized by only entering into futures contracts or options transactions traded
on national  exchanges and  for which  there appears  to be  a liquid  secondary
market.
 
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. 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 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, as  amended (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 would 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.

    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 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 principal business on
the basis of sales of shares which  may be made through intermediary brokers  or
dealers  that market  shares of  the Portfolio.  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  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 may be purchased without a sales commission directly
through  RFI  Distributors  (the  "Distributor"),  and  through  broker-dealers,
registered  representatives,  and   other  financial  intermediaries   ("Service
Organizations")  having  selling  or  shareholder  service  agreements  with the
Distributor. The  shares  are  sold  at  the net  asset  value  per  share  next
determined  after an  order is  received by the  Fund or  the designated Service
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
Organization. (See "Service and  Distribution Plans" and  "How Share Prices  are
Determined.")   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. The officers of the Fund may make  certain
exceptions to the minimum investment amounts.
 
    Certain  Service  Organizations may  have established  shareholder servicing
relationships with  the  Fund  on  behalf  of  their  customers.  Those  Service
Organizations  may impose  additional or  different conditions  or other account
fees  on  the  purchase  and  redemption  of  Portfolio  shares.  Each   Service
Organization  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
Organizations  should  consult  their   Service  Organization  for   information
regarding  these  fees and  conditions. Some  Service Organizations  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 Organizations  may  enter confirmed  purchases  on behalf  of  their
customers.  If  you buy  shares of  the  Portfolio in  this manner,  the Service
Organization must receive your investment order  before the close of trading  on
the  NYSE, generally  4:00 p.m.  (Eastern Time)  and transmit  it to  the Fund's
Transfer Agent (prior to the close of the Transfer Agent's business day) and the
Distributor to receive that day's share price with proper payment to the Fund to
follow. 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 Organizations  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 MAIL
 
    An  account  also  may  be  opened  with  the  assistance  of  your  Service
Organization  by  completing  and  signing  an  Account  Registration  Form. The
original Account Registration  Form should  be forwarded together  with a  check
payable to The Regis Fund II, through your Service Organization, to:
 
                               The Regis Fund II

                                Boston, MA 02110
 
    To make additional investments to  an account you have already  established,
simply  mail your  check directly  or through  your Service  Organization to The
Regis Service Center at the address  above. Make sure that your account  number,
account  name, the name of the Portfolio and the name of the class of shares 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, your  Service Organization  should
telephone  the Fund's Transfer Agent (toll-free 1-800-638-7983), and provide the
account  name,   address,  telephone   number,  social   security  or   taxpayer
identification  number, the  name of the  Portfolio (Service  Class Shares), the
amount being wired and the  name of the bank  wiring the funds. (Investors  with
existing accounts should also notify the Fund prior to wiring funds.) An account
number will then be provided to you.
 
                                       9
<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

                            F/B/O The Regis Fund II
              Ref: TJ Core Equity Portfolio (Service Class Shares)
                              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 your Service  Organization or 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.
 
OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION
 
    Non-securities dealer  Service Organizations  may receive  transaction  fees
that are the same as distribution fees paid to dealers.
 
    The Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend the offering
of  shares or reject purchase orders of  the Portfolio when, in the judgement of
management, such suspension or rejection is in the best interests of the Fund.
 
    Purchases of shares will be made in full and fractional shares calculated to
three decimal places. In the  interest of economy and convenience,  certificates
for  shares will not be issued except at the written request of the shareholder.
Certificates for fractional shares, however, will not be issued.
 
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 net assets.
 
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.
 
    Your request should be addressed to:
 
                            The Regis Service Center
                        c/o Mutual Funds Service Company
                                 P.O. Box 2798
                             Boston, MA 02208-2798
 
or to your Service Organization.
 
BY MAIL
 
    To redeem by mail, you should include the following:
 
        - 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 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.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
    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 Service Class Shares of the Portfolio for any other Service
Class Shares of  a Portfolio  included in  The Regis  Family of  Funds which  is
comprised  of the Fund and The Regis  Fund, Inc. (For those Portfolios currently
offering Service Class Shares, please call  The Regis Service Center.) 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  or through  a  Service
Organization.  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. will be processed at the share price set  after
the  market close the same day. Exchanges received after 4 p.m. 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 exchange privilege is only available with respect to Portfolios that
are registered for sale in a shareholder's state of residence.
 
    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.
 
                         SERVICE AND DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 
    Under  the Service Plan  for Service Class Shares,  adopted pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under  the 1940  Act, the  Fund  may enter  into service  agreements  with
Service  Organizations  (broker-dealers  or  other  financial  institutions) who
receive  fees  with  respect  to  the  Fund's  Service  Class  Shares  owned  by
shareholders  for  whom the  Service  Organization is  the  dealer or  holder of
record, or  for whom  the Service  Organization performs  Servicing, as  defined
below.  These fees are paid out of  the assets allocable to Service Class Shares
to RFI Distributors  or to  the Service  Organizations directly  or through  RFI
Distributors.  The Fund reimburses RFI Distributors or the Service Organization,
as the case may be, for payments made at  an annual rate of up to 0.25 of 1%  of
the average daily value of Service Class Shares owned by clients of such Service
Organization during the period payments for Servicing are being made to it. Such
payments  are  borne exclusively  by  the Service  Class  Shares. Each  item for
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
which a payment may be made under the Service Plan constitutes personal  service
and/or  shareholder  account  maintenance  and  may  constitute  an  expense  of
distributing Fund shares as the Commission construes such term under Rule 12b-1.
The fees payable  for Servicing are  payable without regard  to actual  expenses
incurred.
 
    Servicing  may include,  among other  things, one  or more  of the following
rendered with  respect  to  the Service  Class  shareholders:  answering  client
inquiries  regarding the Fund;  assisting clients in  changing dividend options,
account designations and addresses;  performing subaccounting; establishing  and
maintaining shareholder accounts and records; processing purchase and redemption
transactions;  investing client  cash account balances  automatically in Service
Class Shares; providing periodic statements  showing a client's account  balance
and integrating such statements with those of other transactions and balances in
the  client's other accounts serviced by the Service Organization; arranging for
bank wires; and such other services as  the Fund may request, to the extent  the
Service Organization is permitted by applicable statute, rule or regulation.
 
    The   Glass-Steagall  Act  and  other  applicable  laws  prohibit  federally
chartered or supervised banks from engaging  in certain aspects of the  business
of  issuing, underwriting, selling  and/or distributing securities. Accordingly,
banks will  be  engaged  to  act  as a  Service  Organization  only  to  perform
administrative  and shareholder servicing  functions. If a  bank were prohibited
from so  acting, its  shareholder  clients would  be  permitted to  remain  Fund
shareholders  and  alternative  means  for  continuing  the  Servicing  of  such
shareholders would be sought.
 
    RFI Distributors promotes the  distribution of the  Service Class Shares  in
accordance  with the terms of a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act. The  Distribution Plan provides for  the use of Fund  assets
allocable to Service Class Shares to pay expenses of distributing such shares.
 
    The  Distribution Plan and  Service Plan (the "Plans")  were approved by the
Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons"  of
the  Fund as defined in the 1940 Act (and each of whom has no direct or indirect
financial interest in the  Plans or any agreement  related thereto, referred  to
herein  as the "12b-1 Trustees"). The Plans may be terminated at any time by the
vote of the Board  or the 12b-1 Trustees,  or by the vote  of a majority of  the
outstanding Service Class Shares of the Portfolio involved.
 
    While  the Plans continue in effect, the  selection of the 12b-1 Trustees is
committed to the discretion  of such persons then  in office. The Plans  provide
generally  that a Portfolio  may incur distribution and  service costs under the
Plans which may not exceed in the aggregate 0.75% per annum of that  Portfolio's
net  assets. The Board has currently  limited aggregate payments under the Plans
to 0.50% per annum of a Portfolio's net assets. The Service Class Shares offered
by this  Prospectus currently  are not  making payments  under the  Distribution
Plan.  Upon implementation, the  Distribution Plan would  permit payments to the
Distributor, broker-dealers, other financial institutions, sales representatives
or other third  parties who  render promotional and  distribution services,  for
items  such  as advertising  expenses, selling  expenses, commissions  or travel
reasonably intended  to result  in sales  of Service  Class Shares  and for  the
printing  of prospectuses sent to prospective purchasers of Service Class Shares
of the Portfolio.
 
    Although the Plans may be amended by  the Board of Trustees, any changes  in
the  Plans which  would materially  increase the  amounts authorized  to be paid
under the Plans  must be  approved by shareholders  of the  Class involved.  The
total  amounts paid under the foregoing  arrangements may not exceed the maximum
limits specified above, and the amounts  and purposes of expenditures under  the
Plans  must be reported  to the 12b-1 Trustees  quarterly. The amounts allowable
under the Plans  for each Class  of Shares  of the Portfolios  are also  limited
under certain rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
 
    In addition to payments by the Fund under the Plans, United Asset Management
Corporation,  the parent company of the Adviser,  or the Adviser may, at its own
expense, compensate  a  Service  Organization or  other  person  for  marketing,
shareholder  servicing and other services performed  with respect to a Portfolio
or any class of shares of a Portfolio. The Adviser may make such payments out of
its investment advisory fee, its past  profits or any other source available  to
it.
 
                        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  4  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.  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 when assets are valued.
 
    For  valuation  purposes, all  securities initially  expressed in  a foreign
currency are converted  into U.S. dollars  at the bid  price of such  currencies
against U.S. dollars last 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 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, the Portfolio does not need to "realize" or declare 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 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
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
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. 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
 
THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
    The  Adviser is a registered investment adviser formed in 1983 with business
offices located  at  Two  Leadership  Square, 211  North  Robinson,  Suite  450,
Oklahoma  City,  Oklahoma.  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
approximately $1.8 billion in assets under management.
 
    The  Portfolio pays an annual fee in monthly installments to the Adviser for
advisory services. This  fee is calculated  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%.
 
    Although the advisory fee rate payable  by the Portfolio is higher than  the
rate  payable by most  mutual funds, the  Fund believes it  is comparable to the
rates paid by many other funds  with similar investment objectives and  policies
and is appropriate for the Portfolio in light of its investment objective.
 
    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.

                            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. Several of the Fund's  Portfolios
may  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 Service Class Shares bear fees payable by the class (at the maximum rate of
 .25% per  annum) to  financial institutions  for services  they provide  to  the
owners of such shares. (See "Service and Distribution Plans.")
 
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  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.
