                       Bishop Street Hawaii Tax-Free Fund

                       Supplement dated December 8, 1995
                      to Prospectus dated January 30, 1995


     This supplement provides new and additional information beyond that
     contained in the Prospectus and should be retained and read in conjunction
     with such Prospectus.


     The Board of Trustees has adopted, pending shareholder approval, an
     amendment to the investment policies of the Hawaii Tax-Free Fund that would
     eliminate the current requirement that 80% of the Fund's assets be invested
     in municipal securities the interest income from which is not treated as a
     preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).
     Consistent with this amended policy, the Board approved a change in the
     Fund's name to the "Bishop Street Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund."

     If this proposal is approved by the shareholders, the second and third
     paragraphs of the Fund's "Investment Objectives and Policies" section on
     pages 5 and 6 of the Prospectus will be amended and restated as follows:

          The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds and notes issued
          by states, territories, and possessions of the U.S. and their
          agencies, authorities, instrumentalities and political subdivisions,
          that are rated AAA, AA, A or BBB by S&P, Aaa, Aa, A or Baa by Moody's
          or AAA, AA, A or BBB by Fitch Investors Service ("Fitch"), and which
          pay interest that is not subject to ordinary   Federal income tax
          ("Municipal Securities"). There is no restriction on the percentage of
          the fund's assets that may be invested in obligations the interest
          income on which is treated as a preference item for individuals for
          purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax.  Under normal
          circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its assets in
          Municipal Securities issued by the State of Hawaii, its agencies,
          instrumentalities, and political sub-divisions, the income on which is
          exempt form State of Hawaii personal income taxes ("Hawaii Municipal
          Securities").

          The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in taxable securities.
          The Fund may also purchase unrated securities that are of comparable
          quality at the time of purchase as determined by the Adviser. The Fund
          may purchase shares of other investment companies and may purchase
          securities on a "when-issued" basis.
