AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDATION

        At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Select Advisors Trust A
("Trust A") and Select Advisors Trust C ("Trust C") held on June 18, 1998
(the "Meeting"), an agreement and plan of reorganization and liquidation
(the "Plan") was unanimously approved by a vote of the majority of the
Trustees of Trust A and Trust C, including a majority of the disinterested
Trustees, subject to approval of the shareholders of Trust C at a meeting to
be held on October 29, 1998.

        The Plan consists of a series of steps and procedures which would
ultimately result in the combination of each series of Trust C with the
corresponding series of Trust A and the following changes to the structure
of the Hub Trust, Trust A and Trust C, effective as of the close of business
on December 31, 1998:

*       All of the investable assets of the Hub Trust, including each of its
        series (each a "Hub Portfolio") would be transferred to the
        corresponding Trust A Fund (subject to their liabilities).
*       All of the presently outstanding shares of the Trust C Funds would
        be exchanged for an equal number of newly-designated Class C shares
        of the corresponding Trust A Fund.
*       All of the presently outstanding shares of each Trust A Fund would be
        redesignated (but not otherwise affected) Class A shares of each
        Trust A Fund.
*       The Hub Trust and Trust C would be dissolved.


INVESTMENT ADVISER

        Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") is currently the investment
adviser to the Hub Portfolios and is responsible for selecting and monitoring
the sub-advisers (each, a "Portfolio Advisor," and collectively, the
"Portfolio Advisors") which manage the investment portfolios for each Hub
Portfolio.

        After the close of business on December 31, 1998, pursuant to the
Plan, the Advisor will be the investment adviser to each series of Trust A
and will be responsible for selecting and monitoring the Portfolio Advisor
for each Trust A Fund, including assets from both Class A and Class C shares.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

        Investors Bank & Trust Company ("Investors Bank") presently serves as
Administrator and Fund Accounting Agent for each Trust C Fund and each Trust A
Fund, and also serves as Administrator, Fund Accounting Agent, Custodian,
Transfer Agent and Dividend Paying Agent for the Hub Trust.  State Street Bank
& Trust Company presently serves as Transfer Agent and Dividend Paying Agent
for each Trust C Fund and each Trust A Fund.  It is anticipated that, following
the reorganization, Investors Bank would continue to serve as Administrator
and Fund Accounting Agent and that State Street Bank & Trust Company would
continue to act as Transfer Agent and Dividend Paying Agent, with respect to
each Class of each Trust A Fund.
