QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

- -------------------------------------------

Below are answers to commonly asked questions about investing in mutual funds.
If you need more information, please contact us at 1-800-262-9565.

WHO SHOULD INVEST IN MUTUAL FUNDS?
Mutual funds are appropriate for people who want a range of investment
opportunities, but don't have the time or expertise to manage their investments
themselves.

HOW SAFE IS MY INVESTMENT?
It's important to realize that, unlike bank accounts and CDs, your principal and
rate of return are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Like all
investments, mutual funds involve risk--including the risk of loss of
principal--in exchange for the opportunity for gain.

CAN I SELL MY FUND SHARES QUICKLY IF NEEDED?
Yes. You can sell (redeem) your shares on any business day at their current net
asset value. Of course, share prices will fluctuate, and Fund shares may be
worth more or less than the original purchase price when redeemed.

WHAT ARE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PURCHASING SHARES OF THE BISHOP STREET FUNDS?
The Bishop Street Funds are offered to the public without a sales charge (load).
We do not charge a sales commission when you invest in the Funds or redeem your
shares. You'll find more detailed information on Fund fees and expenses in the
pages that follow.

WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF MUTUAL FUND INVESTING?
Generally speaking, dividend income from mutual funds is taxed at regular income
tax rates, while capital gains distributions (if any) are taxed at the capital
gains rate. Certain mutual funds, such as the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund,
generate returns that are exempt from federal and/or state income tax. Consult
your tax advisor for more information on the tax consequences of your mutual
fund investment.

THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT A FUND WILL ACHIEVE ITS INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVE. EACH FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE IS FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY
NOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.

HAWAII MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

- -------------------------------------------

FUND SUMMARY
Main Objective: High double tax-exempt income
Credit Quality: Investment grade
Investment Focus: Tax-exempt securities
Share Price Volatility: Moderate

[LOGO]
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

FUND OBJECTIVE
The Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide current income that is
exempt from regular federal and State of Hawaii income taxes.

[LOGO]
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
FUND INVESTMENTS
The Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund can help you keep more of the income you
earn by investing in securities that pay income that is exempt from both
federal and Hawaii personal income taxes. It is designed for investors
who want tax-exempt income, and who are willing to accept some share
price VOLATILITY.
[LOGO]

The Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund primarily invests in INVESTMENT GRADE
OBLIGATIONS that pay income exempt from regular federal income tax and
State of Hawaii income taxes, such as Hawaii MUNICIPAL SECURITIES and
DEBT OBLIGATIONS issued by Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
There is no restriction upon the amount of the Fund's assets that may be
invested in obligations that pay income treated as a preference item for
purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax. To some extent, the Fund
also may invest in TAXABLE SECURITIES, and may engage in other investment
practices. See "FUND INVESTMENTS & PRACTICES."

The Fund is a non-diversified fund. This means that the Fund may invest
in securities of a smaller number of issuers (e.g., Hawaii issuers)
compared to a DIVERSIFIED FUND. As a result, the Fund may be more
susceptible than a DIVERSIFIED FUND to the risks associated with a
particular issuer. See "INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS" and the Glossary for
more information.

There is no restriction on the Fund's AVERAGE WEIGHTED MATURITY or on the
maturity of any single security held by the Fund. The Adviser will use
its judgment to invest in securities with maturities that will provide a
high level of current income in light of current market conditions.

HIGH GRADE INCOME FUND

- -------------------------------------------

FUND SUMMARY
Main Objective: High TOTAL RETURN
Credit Quality: High (AA rating or better)
Investment Focus: Corporate and U.S. Government obligations
Share Price Volatility: Moderate

[LOGO]
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
FUND OBJECTIVE
The High Grade Income Fund seeks to provide high TOTAL RETURN consistent
with prudent investment risk.
[LOGO]
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

FUND INVESTMENTS
The High Grade Income Fund is designed for conservative investors who
want a higher level of income than what most money market funds provide
and are willing to accept some share price VOLATILITY. TOTAL RETURN
generally refers to both CAPITAL APPRECIATION and income. The Fund,
however, focuses on achieving high TOTAL RETURN through income, rather
than through CAPITAL APPRECIATION.

[LOGO]

The Fund primarily invests in high grade DEBT OBLIGATIONS denominated in
U.S. dollars and issued by domestic and foreign corporations and
governments. The Adviser considers high grade DEBT OBLIGATIONS to be
those that are rated in the two highest ratings categories by either S&P,
MOODY'S or other ratings agencies.

The Fund may invest in SECURITIES OF FOREIGN ISSUERS, MORTGAGE-BACKED and
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES, and VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE INSTRUMENTS. To
some extent, the Fund may invest in INVESTMENT GRADE OBLIGATIONS and
other securities, and may engage in other investment practices. See "FUND
INVESTMENTS & PRACTICES."

Under normal market conditions, the High Grade Income Fund's AVERAGE
WEIGHTED MATURITY will range from 5 to 12 years. The Fund's AVERAGE
WEIGHTED MATURITY will directly impact the Fund's exposure to interest
rate risk. The Fund's intermediate-term maturity should allow the Fund to
seek higher YIELDS than shorter-term bond funds with less sensitivity to
changing interest rates than longer-term bond funds.

FUND RISKS

risks:

- Foreign Security Risks - Fund Risk - Interest Rate Risk

For a description of these risks, please see "RISK CONSIDERATIONS."

MONEY MARKET FUND

- -------------------------------------------

FUND SUMMARY
Main Objective: Maximum stability and liquidity
Secondary Objective: Current income
Credit Quality: High
Investment Focus: Short-term MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS
Share Price Volatility: Very low

[LOGO]
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
FUND OBJECTIVE
The Money Market Fund seeks to preserve principal and maintain a high
degree of liquidity while providing current income.
[LOGO]
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
FUND INVESTMENTS
The Money Market Fund is appropriate for conservative, income-oriented
investors who want a "parking place" for money earmarked for near-term
needs or awaiting investment, or who want market returns without taking
significant principal risk. The Money Market Fund invests in high quality
MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS denominated in U.S. dollars. The Money Market
Fund may enter into REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS, and may invest in YANKEE BONDS
and VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE INSTRUMENTS. To some extent, the Fund may
invest in other securities and engage in other investment practices. See
"FUND INVESTMENTS & PRACTICES."
[LOGO]

The Money Market Fund complies with SEC rules which impose certain
quality, maturity and diversification requirements. The Fund's assets are
valued using the amortized cost method, which enables the Fund to
maintain a stable net asset value per share. All securities purchased by
the Fund must have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less.
Although the Fund is managed to maintain a stable price per share of
$1.00, there is no guarantee that the price will be constantly
maintained.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
FUND RISKS
The Money Market Fund may be subject to the following types of risks:

Risk - Market Risk

FUND INVESTMENTS
The Treasury Money Market Fund is appropriate for conservative, income-
oriented investors who want a "parking place" for money earmarked for
near-term needs or awaiting investment, or who want market returns
without taking significant principal risk. The Treasury Money Market Fund
invests exclusively in U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS and REPURCHASE
AGREEMENTS involving U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS. The Fund may engage in
certain investment practices. See "FUND INVESTMENTS & PRACTICES."

The Treasury Money Market Fund complies with SEC rules which impose
certain quality, maturity and diversification requirements. The Fund's
assets are valued using the amortized cost method, which enables the Fund
to maintain a stable net asset value per share. All securities purchased
by the Fund must have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less.
Although the Fund is managed to maintain a stable price per share of
$1.00, there is no guarantee that the price will be constantly
maintained.

FUNDS SUBJECT TO
TYPE OF RISK THAT RISK
<S> <C>
CALL RISK -- The possibility that during Hawaii Municipal Bond
periods of falling interest rates, DEBT Fund
OBLIGATIONS with high interest rates will be High Grade Income Fund
prepaid (or "called") by the issuer prior to Money Market Fund
maturity. This may cause a Fund's AVERAGE
WEIGHTED MATURITY to fluctuate, and may
require a Fund to invest the resulting
proceeds elsewhere, at generally lower
interest rates.

CREDIT RISK -- The possibility that an issuer Hawaii Municipal Bond
will be unable to make timely payments of Fund
either principal or interest. High Grade Income Fund
Money Market Fund

CURRENCY RISK -- The possibility that changes High Grade Income Fund
in foreign exchange rates will affect,
favorably or unfavorably, the value of foreign
securities or the U.S. dollar amount of income
or gain received on such securities.

EVENT RISK -- The possibility that issuers of Equity Fund
securities may suffer substantial declines in Hawaii Municipal Bond
credit quality and market value due to Fund
corporate or governmental restructurings. High Grade Income Fund
While event risk may be high for certain Money Market Fund
securities held by a Fund, event risk is
decreased by diversification of the Fund's
holdings.

FOREIGN SECURITY RISKS -- There are risks High Grade Income Fund
associated with investing in SECURITIES OF
FOREIGN ISSUERS, including:
VOLATILITY -- Foreign markets can be more
volatile than U.S. markets because of the
diplomatic, political, or economic
developments that may affect investments in
foreign countries.

FUNDS SUBJECT TO
TYPE OF RISK THAT RISK
<S> <C>
FOREIGN SECURITY RISKS (CONT')
FOREIGN TAXES -- Some foreign governments High Grade Income Fund
levy withholding taxes against dividend and
interest income. Although in some countries
a portion of these taxes is recoverable, the
non-recovered portion will reduce the income
received from such securities.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT -- Foreign companies
generally are not subject to uniform
accounting, auditing, and financial
reporting standards comparable to those
applicable to U.S. companies. Foreign banks
and issuers and foreign branches of U.S.
banks may be subject to less stringent
reserve requirements and to different
accounting, auditing, reporting and record
keeping standards than those applicable to
U.S. banks and issuers and domestic branches
of U.S. banks. There is generally less
government regulation of securities
exchanges, brokers, and listed companies in
foreign countries than in the U.S.

FUND RISK -- The possibility that a Fund's All Funds
performance during a specific period may not
meet, or exceed, that of its market benchmark.

GEOGRAPHIC RISK -- The risk that a Fund's Hawaii Municipal Bond
concentration of investments in securities of Fund
issuers located in a single state or
geographic region subject that Fund to
economic conditions and government policies of
that state or region that could adversely
affect the value of a Fund's investments.

INTEREST RATE RISK -- The potential for a Hawaii Municipal Bond
decline in the price of FIXED-INCOME Fund
SECURITIES due to rising interest rates. This High Grade Income Fund
risk is greater for long-term securities than Money Market Fund
it is for short-term securities. Treasury Money

MARKET RISK -- The possibility that stock or All Funds
bond prices in general will decline over
short, or even extended, periods of time.
Markets tend to be cyclical, and consequently,
will experience periods when prices generally
rise and periods when prices generally
decline.

PREPAYMENT RISK -- The risk that High Grade Income Fund
MORTGAGE-BACKED and ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
may be retired substantially earlier than
their stated maturities or final distribution
dates, resulting in a loss of all, or part, of
any premium paid. This may require the Fund to
reinvest the resulting proceeds elsewhere,
generally at lower interest rates. This also
may cause the Fund's AVERAGE WEIGHTED MATURITY
to fluctuate.

HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES

- -------------------------------------------

GENERAL INFORMATION
You may purchase shares of the Funds directly from us by mail or wire.
You also may purchase shares from First Hawaiian Bank representatives or
through FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES.

Fund shares are offered continuously and without a sales charge. The
price per share (the offering price) will be the net asset value per
share (NAV) next determined after we receive your purchase. You may
purchase Fund shares on any day that we calculate the Fund's NAV. We
calculate NAV on days that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the
Federal Reserve Wire System are both open for business (a Business Day).

The NAV of a Fund is calculated by:

(1) taking the current market value of a Fund's total assets;
(2) subtracting the Fund's liabilities; and
(3) dividing the result by the total number of shares owned by the Fund's
shareholders.

The Money Market and Treasury Money Market Funds are required to use the
amortized cost method to determine the current market value of their
assets. The amortized cost method is described in detail in our Statement
of Additional Information. We expect the NAV for the Money Market and
Treasury Money Market Funds to remain constant at $1.00 per share.

For the Money Market and Treasury Money Market Funds, we calculate NAV as
of 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, on each Business Day. For the Equity, High
Grade Income and Hawaii Municipal Bond Funds, we calculate NAV as of the
regularly-scheduled close of normal trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00
p.m., Eastern time) on each Business Day. If we receive your order and
payment before NAV is calculated, then your purchase order will be
effective that same Business Day. If we receive your order and payment
after NAV is calculated, your purchase order will be effective the next
Business Day.

PURCHASING DIRECTLY FROM THE TRANSFER AGENT

If you decide to buy shares directly from us, call us at 1-800-262-9565
to obtain an Account Application if you do not already have one. You
should make your check or money order payable in U.S. dollars to "Bishop
Street Funds" and include the name of the appropriate Fund on your check.
WE CANNOT ACCEPT THIRD PARTY CHECKS, CREDIT CARDS, CREDIT CARD CHECKS, OR
CASH.

24 Bishop Street Funds
<PAGE>
- -------------------------------------------

BY MAIL
You can mail your Account Application and check (or money order) to us
at:
Bishop Street Funds
c/o DST Systems, Inc.
P.O. Box 419721
Kansas City, Missouri 64141-6721

We will complete your purchase order when we receive your payment. PLEASE
NOTE THAT IF YOU PURCHASE SHARES WITH A CHECK AND THEN SELL THOSE SHARES
WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, WE MAY DELAY PAYMENT TO YOU UNTIL YOUR
CHECK CLEARS OR FOR UP TO 15 BUSINESS DAYS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. If
your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you could
be liable for any costs incurred.

BY WIRE
You may purchase shares by wiring FEDERAL FUNDS to us. Before you wire
funds, you must contact us and complete an Account Application. After you
have established an account, you may purchase shares by wire as long as
you first call us at 1-800-262-9565 and then include your account number
in the wire instructions. Fund shares cannot be purchased by wire on
Federal holidays that restrict wire transfers.

PURCHASING THROUGH A FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY
Fund shares are sold without a sales charge. However, FINANCIAL
INTERMEDIARIES may charge fees for services provided in connection with
purchasing shares. FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES also may set an earlier time
for a purchase order to be effective on the same Business Day. This
allows the FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY time to process and transmit your order
to us. For more information about how to purchase shares through a
FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY, you should contact that FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY
directly.

INITIAL PURCHASE

To purchase shares of any Fund for the first time, you must invest at
least $1,000 in a Fund. Officers, directors, and employees of First
Hawaiian Bank or its affiliates, and those investing in retirement plans
may buy shares with an initial purchase of $500 in a Fund. Officers,
directors and employees of First Hawaiian Bank or its affiliates who have
arranged to purchase shares through the Automatic Investment Plan (see
"Purchasing by Automatic Investment Plan") may buy shares with an initial
purchase of $100 in any Fund.

Bishop Street Funds 25
<PAGE>
HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES

- -------------------------------------------

ADDITIONAL PURCHASES
To purchase additional shares of any Fund, you must invest at least $100.
If you have arranged to purchase shares through the Automatic Investment
Plan (see below), then you must invest at least $50.

PURCHASING BY AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN (AIP)

You may purchase additional shares automatically through regular
deductions from your checking or savings account. After you have
established an account and have submitted the minimum initial investment
(see "Initial Purchase" for those persons exempt from the minimum initial
investments), you may begin regularly scheduled investments of at least
$50 per month. You may select the AIP on your Account Application. Please
contact us at 1-800-262-9565 or your FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY to obtain an
Account Application, if you do not already have one.

PURCHASES -- THE DISTRIBUTOR

We reserve the right to reject a purchase order for shares if we
determine that accepting the order would not be in the best interests of
the Trust or its shareholders. We may waive the minimum initial and
additional purchase amounts at our discretion.

26 Bishop Street Funds
<PAGE>

HOW TO SELL SHARES

- -------------------------------------------

You may sell (redeem) your shares on any Business Day by contacting us by
mail or telephone. If your request is for more than $5,000 or if you are
requesting that the proceeds from your redemption be sent to an address
or an account that is different from what we have on our records, then we
may require a written redemption request with a SIGNATURE GUARANTEE (a
notarized signature is not sufficient).

The redemption price of each share will be the next NAV determined after
we receive your redemption request. In other words, we must receive
redemption requests for a Fund by the time the Fund's NAV is calculated
in order to get that Business Day's NAV.

If you purchased your shares through a FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY rather than
directly from us, you should contact your FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY for
instructions on how to redeem shares. You may have to transmit your
redemption request to the FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY at an earlier time in
order for your redemption to be effective that Business Day.

RECEIVING YOUR MONEY
Your redemption proceeds normally will be sent within 7 Business Days
after we receive your request. Your proceeds can be sent to you by check
or, if your redemption proceeds are in excess of $500, wired to your bank
account for a $15 fee. We reserve the right to waive the $15 wire fee at
our discretion. IF YOU RECENTLY PURCHASED YOUR SHARES BY CHECK OR THROUGH
AN AIP, THEN YOUR PROCEEDS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL YOUR CHECK HAS
CLEARED (WHICH MAY TAKE UP TO 15 BUSINESS DAYS).

REDEMPTIONS IN KIND

We intend to pay your redemption proceeds in cash. However, under unusual
conditions that make the payment of cash unwise (and for the protection
of the remaining shareholders of the Fund), we reserve the right to pay
all or part of your redemption proceeds in securities that have a market
value equal to the redemption price (a "redemption in kind"). If you
decide to sell these securities you would probably have to pay capital
gains taxes and brokerage costs on that sale.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN (SWP)

Under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP), you may arrange monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual, or annual automatic withdrawals of $50 or more
from any Fund. The proceeds can be mailed to you or electronically
transferred to your bank account. You may use the SWP if you

Bishop Street Funds 27

HOW TO SELL SHARES

- -------------------------------------------
automatically reinvest your dividends (see "DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS"
below) and have an account:

- in the Equity, High Grade Income and Hawaii Municipal Bond Funds that
is worth, in the aggregate, at least $10,000; or

- in the Money Market and Treasury Money Market Funds that is worth, in
the aggregate, at least $20,000.

You may change or cancel your SWP at any time by giving us written
notice. We may require a SIGNATURE GUARANTEE on the written notice. You
may select the SWP on your Account Application. If you need an Account
Application, please call us at 1-800-262-9565.

INVOLUNTARY REDEMPTIONS

If your account balance drops below the required minimum initial purchase
amount due to redemptions from your account, including redemptions
through the SWP, you may be required to redeem your remaining shares. You
will always be given at least 60 days' written notice to give you time to
add to your account and avoid the involuntary redemption.

HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES

- -------------------------------------------

You may exchange shares of any Fund for shares of any other Fund. You can
request an exchange by mail, or by telephone if you elected the telephone
exchange option on your Account Application. If you purchased Fund shares
through a FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY, you should contact your FINANCIAL
INTERMEDIARY to exchange your shares.

SHARE TRANSACTIONS OVER THE TELEPHONE

Telephone redemption and exchange transactions are extremely convenient,
but not without risk. To try to keep your telephone transactions as safe,
secure, and risk-free as possible, we have developed certain safeguards
and procedures for determining the identity of callers and authenticity
of instructions. However, we will not be responsible for any loss,
liability, cost, or expense for following telephone or wire instructions
we reasonably believed to be genuine. If you or your FINANCIAL
INTERMEDIARY choose to make telephone transactions, you will generally
bear the risk of any loss.

FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES -- TRANSFERRING RECORD OWNERSHIP OF YOUR
SHARES

If you own shares through a FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY and want to transfer
the registration to another FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY or become the record
owner of your shares, then you should contact your FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY
for instructions on how to make this change. If you are the record owner
of your shares and you wish to transfer the registration to a FINANCIAL
INTERMEDIARY, then please contact us at 1-800-262-9565 for instructions.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
- -------------------------------------------

Income dividends are declared daily and paid monthly by each of the Funds
except for the Equity Fund. The Equity Fund declares and pays dividends
quarterly. If you own shares on a Fund's record date, you will be
entitled to receive dividends from that Fund. The Funds make
distributions of any capital gains at least annually.

You will receive dividends and distributions in the form of additional
shares unless you elect to receive payment in cash. To elect a cash
payment, you must notify us in writing at least 15 days prior to the date
of distribution. Your election will become effective for dividends paid
after we receive your written notice. To cancel your election, simply
send us a written notice.

<PAGE>
TAX INFORMATION

- -------------------------------------------

The following is a summary of some important tax issues that affect the
Funds and their shareholders. The summary is based on current tax laws,
which may be changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action.
We have not tried to present a detailed explanation of the tax treatment
of the Funds or their shareholders. More information about taxes is in
our Statement of Additional Information. We urge you to consult your tax
advisor regarding specific questions as to federal, state, and local
income taxes.

TAX STATUS OF EACH FUND

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes
and intends to qualify for the special tax treatment afforded to
regulated investment companies. As long as a Fund qualifies as a
regulated investment company, it pays no federal income tax on the
earnings it distributes to its shareholders.

TAX STATUS OF DISTRIBUTIONS

Each Fund will distribute substantially all of its income and capital
gains. The income dividends you receive from a Fund will be taxed as
ordinary income whether you receive the dividends in cash or additional
shares. Capital gains distributions will be treated as gain from the sale
or exchange of a capital asset held for more than one year, which may be
taxed at different rates depending upon the length of time the Fund held
the security.

Corporate shareholders in the Equity Fund may be entitled to a dividends-
received deduction for the portion of dividends they receive which are
attributable to dividends received by a Fund from U.S. corporations.

Distributions paid in January but declared as dividends by a Fund in
October, November, or December of the previous year, may be taxable to
you in the previous year.

TAX STATUS OF SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Each redemption or exchange of Fund shares is a taxable event to you.

30 Bishop Street Funds

<PAGE>
- -------------------------------------------

TAX-EXEMPT DISTRIBUTIONS

The Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund may pay "exempt interest" dividends. These
dividends are excludable from your gross income for federal income tax
purposes, but may have other federal income tax consequences (i.e.,
alternative minimum tax). Current federal tax laws limit the types and
number of debt obligations that pay exempt interest. This may hinder the
Fund's ability to pay exempt interest dividends.

STATE TAX CONSIDERATIONS

A Fund is not liable for any income or franchise tax in Massachusetts as
long as it qualifies as a regulated investment company for federal income
tax purposes.

Distributions by the Funds to you may be subject to state and local
taxation. However, a portion of the distributions you receive
attributable to interest on U.S. Government obligations may be exempt
from state taxation. In addition, a portion of the distributions you
receive attributable to interest on a state's MUNICIPAL SECURITIES may be
exempt from taxation in that state. For example, interest on certain
securities is exempt from Hawaii state income taxation. The portion of
distributions you receive from the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund
attributable to such interest is not included in your Hawaii state
taxable income. Each year we will notify you of the percentage of income
and distributions that may be tax exempt under state law. You should
verify your tax liability with your tax advisor.

THE TRUST
The Trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and permitted to
offer separate portfolios of shares. All payments received by the Trust
for shares of any Fund belong to that Fund. Each Fund has its own assets
and liabilities.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Board of Trustees supervises the management and affairs of the Trust.
The Trustees have approved contracts with certain companies that provide
us with essential management services.

VOTING RIGHTS

We offer units of beneficial interest (shares) in the Funds. Each share
represents an undivided, proportional interest in a Fund. Shareholders of
record receive one vote for every full Fund share owned. Each Fund will
vote separately on matters relating solely to that Fund. If you are a
customer of a FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY that has purchased shares of a Fund
for your account, you may, depending on the nature of your account, have
certain voting rights.

As a Massachusetts business trust, we are not required to hold annual
shareholder meetings unless otherwise required by the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). However, a meeting may be called by
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust.
If a meeting is requested by shareholders, we will provide appropriate
assistance and information to the shareholders who requested the meeting.

REPORTING
If you purchased shares directly from us, you will receive our unaudited
financial information and audited financial statements, proxy statements,
and other reports. If you purchased shares of a Fund through a FINANCIAL
INTERMEDIARY, you may, depending on the nature of your account, receive
all or a portion of this information directly from your FINANCIAL
INTERMEDIARY.

SHAREHOLDER INQUIRIES
You may contact us at 1-800-262-9565 or your FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY to

FUND INVESTMENTS & PRACTICES

- -------------------------------------------

Under normal market conditions, the Funds will follow the practices and
policies outlined above. However, for temporary defensive purposes during
periods when the Adviser determines that market conditions warrant, the
Non-Money Market Funds may invest up to 100% of each Fund's assets in
taxable MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS, REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS and SHORT-TERM
OBLIGATIONS. In addition, each Fund may hold a portion of its assets in
cash. When a Fund invests for temporary defensive purposes, it will not
be pursuing its respective investment objective.

38 Bishop Street Funds
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

- -------------------------------------------

CONCENTRATION
The Equity and High Grade Income Funds may not invest more than 25% of each
Fund's assets in any one industry. The Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund has no such
restriction on CONCENTRATION, but it will not invest more than 25% of its assets
in securities of non-governmental entities that are in the same industry. The
Money Market and Treasury Money Market Funds may not invest more than 25% of
each Fund's assets in any one industry, but may do so with respect to U.S.
GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS and U.S. BANK OBLIGATIONS.

DIVERSIFICATION
Except for the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund, each Fund is a DIVERSIFIED FUND. For
the Equity and High Grade Income Funds, this means that the Funds may not, with
respect to 75% of each Fund's assets:

- - invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any one issuer; and

- - purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer.

Although the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund is not subject to the above restriction,
the Fund complies with similar diversification requirements under the Internal
Revenue Code.

For the Money Market Funds, which comply with more stringent diversification
requirements under SEC rules, this means that each Fund may generally not invest
more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any one issuer (excluding U.S.
Government issuers).

These investment restrictions are fundamental which means that they may not be
changed without shareholder approval. The Funds have other fundamental
investment restrictions which are described in our Statement of Additional
Information.

GLOSSARY

- -------------------------------------------

This Glossary includes descriptions of each italicized term in this Prospectus,
as well as some of the permitted investments for the Funds. Our Statement of
Additional Information has further discussion of these investments.

AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS (ADRs) are securities typically issued by U.S.
financial institutions (depositaries). ADRs represent ownership interests in a
security, or a pool of securities, issued by a foreign issuer and deposited with
the depositary. ADRs may be available through "sponsored" or "unsponsored"
facilities. A sponsored facility is established jointly by the issuer of the
security underlying the receipt and a depositary. An unsponsored facility may be
established by a depositary without the participation of the issuer of the
underlying security.

ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES are securities backed by non-mortgage assets such as
company receivables, truck and auto loans, leases, and credit card receivables.
These securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates, which
represent undivided fractional ownership interests in the underlying pools of
assets. Asset-backed securities may also be DEBT OBLIGATIONS, which are also
known as collateralized obligations and are generally issued as the debt of a
special purpose entity, such as a trust, organized solely for the purpose of
owning these assets and issuing DEBT OBLIGATIONS.

AVERAGE WEIGHTED MATURITY is calculated by first multiplying the dollar value of
each investment of a Fund by the number of days remaining to its maturity, then
adding those figures together and dividing that total by the dollar value of the
Fund's portfolio investments.

BANK OBLIGATIONS are SHORT-TERM OBLIGATIONS issued by U.S. and foreign banks,
including bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposit, custodial receipts, and
time deposits.

BORROWING is an investment practice used by mutual funds. The 1940 Act permits a
mutual fund to borrow money (i) for temporary purposes (for up to 5% of the
fund's total assets) and (ii) from banks, subject to certain asset coverage
requirements.

CAPITAL APPRECIATION refers to the increase in value of a security.

COMMERCIAL PAPER is a term used to describe unsecured short-term promissory
notes issued by municipalities, corporations, and other entities that have
maturities generally from a few days to nine months.

- -------------------------------------------

COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCKS represent units of ownership in corporations. Owners
of common stocks typically are entitled to vote on important matters. Owners of
preferred stocks ordinarily do not have voting rights, but are entitled to
dividends at a specified rate. Preferred stockholders have a prior claim to
common stockholders with respect to dividends.

CONCENTRATION refers to the amount of a mutual fund's assets that are invested
in securities of issuers engaged in the same or similar industries.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are securities, either DEBT OBLIGATIONS or PREFERRED
STOCKS, issued by corporations that are exchangeable for a set number of another
security at a prestated price. The market value of a convertible security is
also affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality of the issuer,
and call option provisions.

CORPORATE DEBT OBLIGATIONS are DEBT OBLIGATIONS issued by corporations with
maturities exceeding 270 days.

DEBT OBLIGATIONS represent money borrowed that obligates the issuer (e.g., a
corporation, municipality, government, government agency) to repay the borrowed
amount at maturity (when the obligation is due and payable) and usually to pay
the holder interest at specific times (e.g., bonds, notes, debentures).

DIVERSIFIED FUNDS invest in the securities of a larger number of issuers than
non-diversified mutual funds. As a result, diversified mutual funds generally
will be less susceptible to the risks associated with a particular issuer than
non-diversified mutual funds. See "RISK CONSIDERATIONS."

EQUITY SECURITIES include, for example, COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCKS, WARRANTS,
RIGHTS and CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. These securities may be publicly or privately
issued.

FEDERAL FUNDS are funds deposited by commercial banks at Federal Reserve Banks.
Banks that are members of the Federal Reserve may transfer funds on behalf of
customers on a same-day basis by debiting and crediting balances in the various
other Federal Reserve Banks.

FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY is any entity, such as a bank, broker-dealer, or other
financial institution, that has entered into an arrangement with us to sell Fund
shares to its customers.

FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES are securities that pay a fixed rate of return. This
term generally refers to DEBT OBLIGATIONS and PREFERRED STOCKS.

Bishop Street Funds 41
<PAGE>
GLOSSARY

- -------------------------------------------

ILLIQUID SECURITIES are securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days
at approximately the price at which they are being carried on a mutual fund's
books.

INVESTMENT COMPANY SHARES are shares of other mutual funds which may be
purchased by the Funds to a limited extent.

INVESTMENT GRADE OBLIGATIONS are DEBT OBLIGATIONS rated BBB or better by S&P or
Baa or better by MOODY'S, or their unrated equivalents. Securities rated BBB by
S&P or Baa by MOODY'S have speculative characteristics.

MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS are high quality, dollar-denominated, SHORT-TERM
OBLIGATIONS, including BANK OBLIGATIONS, U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS, U.S.
GOVERNMENT AGENCY OBLIGATIONS, and short-term corporate obligations.

MOODY'S (Moody's Investors Service) is one of the two best known rating agencies
in the country. Like S&P, Moody's is a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization that rates certain securities, such as bonds, COMMERCIAL PAPER,
COMMON STOCKS and MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. More information about the various
ratings categories is in our Statement of Additional Information.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES entitle the holder to a share of all interest and
principal payments from mortgages underlying the security. The mortgages backing
these securities include conventional thirty-year fixed mortgages, graduated
payment mortgages, adjustable rate mortgages, and floating rate mortgages.

During periods of declining interest rates, prepayment of mortgages underlying
mortgage-backed securities may accelerate. It is often not possible to predict
accurately the average life or realized yield of a particular issue. The
following securities are types of mortgage-backed securities:

GOVERNMENT PASS-THROUGH SECURITIES are securities issued or guaranteed by a
U.S. Government agency representing an interest in a pool of mortgage loans.
Government and private guarantees do not extend to the securities' value,
which is likely to vary inversely with fluctuations in interest rates.

PRIVATE PASS-THROUGH SECURITIES are mortgage-backed securities issued by a
non-governmental entity, such as a trust. While they are generally
structured with one or more types of credit enhancement, private
pass-through securities typically lack a guarantee by an entity having the
credit status of a governmental agency or instrumentality.

42 Bishop Street Funds
<PAGE>
- -------------------------------------------

COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMOS) are DEBT OBLIGATIONS or
multi-class pass-through certificates issued by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government, private originators, or investors
in mortgage loans. Each class of a CMO is issued with a specific fixed or
floating interest rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution date.
Principal payments on the underlying mortgage assets may cause CMOs to be
retired substantially earlier than their stated maturities or final
distribution dates. This can result in a loss of all, or part, of any
premium paid.

REMICs are CMOs that qualify for special tax treatment under the Internal
Revenue Code. They invest in certain mortgages that are principally secured
by interests in real property. These securities are often guaranteed as to
the payment of principal and/or interest as payments are required to be made
on the underlying mortgage participation certificates.

STRIPPED MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES (SMBS) are usually structured with two
classes that receive specified proportions of the monthly interest and
principal payments from a pool of mortgage securities. One class may receive
all of the interest payments, and the other class may receive all of the
principal payments. SMBs are extremely sensitive to changes in interest
rates because of the impact of prepayment of principal on the underlying
mortgage securities.

ARMS (ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE SECURITIES) are pass-through certificates
representing ownership in a pool of adjustable rate mortgages. ARMs make
monthly payments based on a pro rata share of interest and principal
payments, and prepayments of principal on the pool of underlying mortgages.
The adjustable rate feature reduces, but does not eliminate, price
fluctuations in this type of mortgage-backed security.

GLOSSARY

- -------------------------------------------

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES include:

- - DEBT OBLIGATIONS issued by, or on behalf of, public authorities to obtain
funds to be used for various public facilities, for refunding outstanding
obligations, for general operating expenses, and for lending these funds to
other public institutions and facilities; and

- - certain private activity and industrial development DEBT OBLIGATIONS issued
by, or on behalf of, public authorities to obtain funds to provide for the
construction, equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated
facilities (sometimes called industrial development bonds).

The two principal types of municipal securities are general obligation bonds and
revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are backed by the taxing power of the
issuing municipality. Revenue bonds are backed by the revenues of a project or
facility (for example, tolls from a bridge). Industrial development bonds are
typically classified as revenue bonds. Certificates of participation represent
an interest in an underlying obligation or commitment, such as an obligation
issued in connection with a leasing arrangement. The payment of principal and
interest on private activity and industrial development bonds generally is
totally dependent on the ability of a facility's user to meet its financial
obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and personal property as security
for the payment.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER RATE is the rate at which a mutual fund buys and sells
securities in its portfolio. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% indicates that a
mutual fund replaced 100% of the securities in its portfolio in one year.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS are agreements under which a mutual fund obtains a
security and simultaneously agrees to return the security to the seller at an
agreed upon price on an agreed upon date within a number of days from the date
of purchase. A Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with financial
institutions judged to present minimal risk of bankruptcy during the term of the
agreement based on established guidelines.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES are securities that may not be sold freely to the public
without registering under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption from
registration.

RIGHTS give existing shareholders of a corporation the right, but not the
obligation, to buy shares of the corporation at a given price, usually below the
offering price, during a specified period.

44 Bishop Street Funds
<PAGE>
- -------------------------------------------

SECURITIES LENDING is an investment practice that Funds use to generate
additional income. A Fund may lend securities which it owns pursuant to
agreements requiring that the loan be continuously and fully secured by
collateral. A Fund continues to receive interest on the loaned securities while
simultaneously earning interest on the investment of cash collateral.

SECURITIES OF FOREIGN ISSUERS are securities issued by foreign corporations,
including, foreign branches of U.S. banks and foreign banks, and by foreign
governments or their agencies or instrumentalities. There are special risk
considerations associated with foreign securities.

SHORT-TERM OBLIGATIONS are DEBT OBLIGATIONS maturing (becoming payable) in 397
calendar days or less, including COMMERCIAL PAPER and other short-term
obligations. Short-term corporate obligations are short-term obligations issued
by corporations.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES are given by financial institutions or broker-dealers and
are used to validate a person's signature by comparing a signature in the
institution's files with the new signature.

S&P (STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION) is one of the two best known ratings
agencies in the country. Like MOODY'S, S&P is a nationally recognized
statistical rating organization that rates certain securities, such as bonds,
COMMERCIAL PAPER, COMMON STOCKS and MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. More information about
the various ratings categories is in our Statement of Additional Information.

STANDBY COMMITMENTS AND PUTS permit the holder to sell securities subject to the
standby commitment or put at a fixed price prior to maturity. Securities subject
to a standby commitment or put may be sold at any time at the current market
price. However, unless the standby commitment or put was an integral part of the
security as originally issued, it may not be marketable or assignable.

SUPRANATIONAL AGENCY OBLIGATIONS are DEBT OBLIGATIONS established through the
joint participation of several governments, and include the Asian Development
Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development (World Bank), African Development Bank, European Economic
Community, European Investment Bank, and the Nordic Investment Bank.

GLOSSARY

- -------------------------------------------

TAXABLE SECURITIES are securities that generate income which is subject to
federal income tax, such as U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS, CORPORATE DEBT
OBLIGATIONS and ASSET-BACKED and MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.

TOTAL RETURN generally refers to annual return on an investment, including
appreciation and income.

U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY OBLIGATIONS are obligations issued or guaranteed by
agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. Some of these securities
are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, others are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, and
others are supported only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality.

U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS consist of bills, notes, and bonds issued by the U.S.
Treasury. They also consist of separately traded interest and principal
component parts of these obligations that are transferable through the Federal
book-entry system known as Separately Traded Registered Interest and Principal
Securities (STRIPS). Receipts are similar to STRIPS, but are issued by banks or
broker-dealers, and are created by depositing U.S. Treasury obligations into a
special account at a custodian bank. The custodian holds the income from the
receipts for the benefit of the receipt owners.

VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE INSTRUMENTS involve certain DEBT OBLIGATIONS that may
carry variable or floating rates of interest, and may involve a conditional or
unconditional demand feature. Such instruments bear interest at rates which are
not fixed, but which vary with changes in specified market rates or indices.

VOLATILITY is the tendency of a security's value to rise or fall sharply in a
short time period.

WARRANTS give holders the right, but not the obligation, to buy shares of a
company at a given price, usually higher than the market price, during a
specified period.

WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES involve the purchase of an
instrument with payment and delivery taking place in the future. Delivery of,
and payment for, these securities may occur a month or more after the date of
the purchase commitment. The interest rate realized on these securities is fixed
as of the purchase date and no interest accrues to a Fund before settlement.

YANKEE BONDS are U.S. dollar denominated DEBT OBLIGATIONS issued in the U.S. by
foreign banks and corporations.

46 Bishop Street Funds
<PAGE>
- -------------------------------------------

YIELD refers to the return on an investor's capital investment, which takes into
account interest payments, purchase price, maturity and other factors.

ZERO COUPON OBLIGATIONS are DEBT OBLIGATIONS that do not bear any interest, but
instead are issued at a deep discount from face value or par. The value of a
zero coupon obligation increases over time to reflect the interest accreted.
Such obligations will not result in the payment of interest until maturity, and
will have greater price volatility than similar securities that are issued at
face value or par and pay interest periodically.

THE TRUST

Bishop Street Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment
company. The Trust is organized under Massachusetts law as a "Massachusetts
business trust" under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust
dated September 1, 1994 (the "Declaration of Trust"). The Declaration of Trust
permits the Trust to offer separate series of units of beneficial interest
("shares"). Each share of each Series represents an equal proportionate interest
in that Series. Please see "Description of Shares" for more information.

This Statement of Additional Information relates to the Trust's Equity Fund,
Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund, High Grade Income Fund, Money Market Fund and
Treasury Money Market Fund (each a "Fund," and together the "Funds").

DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED INVESTMENTS

The following information supplements the information about permitted
investments set forth in the Prospectus.

FOREIGN SECURITIES--U.S. dollar denominated obligations of foreign issuers
may consist of obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks and of foreign
banks, including European Certificates of Deposit, European Time Deposits,
Canadian Time Deposits and Yankee Certificates of Deposits, and investments in
Canadian Commercial Paper, foreign securities and Europaper. American Depositary
Receipts have investment risks that differ in some respects from those related
to investments in obligations of U.S. domestic issuers. Such risks include
future adverse political and economic developments, the possible imposition of
withholding taxes on interest or other income, possible seizure,
nationalization, or expropriation of foreign deposits, the possible
establishment of exchange controls or taxation at the source, greater
fluctuations in value due to changes in exchange rates, or the adoption of other
foreign governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the payment of
principal and interest on such obligations. Such investments may also entail
higher custodial fees and sales commissions than domestic investments. Foreign
issuers of securities or obligations are often subject to accounting treatment
and engage in business practices different from those respecting domestic
issuers of similar securities or obligations. Foreign branches of U.S. banks and
foreign banks may be subject to less stringent reserve requirements than those
applicable to domestic branches of U.S. banks.

GNMA SECURITIES--Securities issued by the Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA"), a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation, guarantee the
timely payment of principal and interest. The market value and interest yield of
these instruments can vary due to market interest rate fluctuations and early
prepayments of underlying mortgages. These securities represent ownership in a
pool of federally insured mortgage loans. GNMA certificates consist of
underlying mortgages with a maximum maturity of 30 years. However, due to
scheduled and unscheduled principal payments, GNMA certificates have a shorter
average maturity and, therefore, less principal volatility than a comparable
30-year bond. Since prepayment rates vary widely, it is not possible to
accurately predict the average maturity of a particular GNMA pool. GNMA
securities differ from conventional bonds in that principal is paid back to the
certificate holders over the life of the loan rather than at maturity. The
scheduled monthly interest and principal payments relating to mortgages in the
pool are "passed through" to investors. In addition, there may be unscheduled
principal payments representing prepayments on the underlying mortgages.
Although GNMA certificates may offer yields higher than those available from
other types of U.S. Government securities, GNMA certificates may be less
effective than other types of securities as a means of "locking in" attractive
long-term rates because of the prepayment feature. For instance, when interest
rates decline, the value of a GNMA certificate likely will not rise as much as
comparable debt securities due to the prepayment feature. In addition, these
prepayments can cause the price of a GNMA certificate originally purchased at a
premium to decline in price to its par value, which may result in a loss.

S-2
<PAGE>

INVESTMENT COMPANY SHARES--Shares of other mutual funds which may be
purchased by the Funds to the extent consistent with applicable law. Under these
rules and regulations of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), a
Fund is prohibited from acquiring the securities of other investment companies
if, as a result of such acquisition, the Fund would own more than 3% of the
total voting stock of the company; securities issued by any one investment
company represented more than 5% of the Fund's assets; or securities (other than
treasury stock) issued by all investment companies would represent more than 10%
of the total assets of the Fund. These investment companies typically incur fees
that are separate from those fees incurred directly by the Fund. A Fund's
purchase of such investment company securities results in the layering of
expenses, such that shareholders of the Fund would indirectly bear a
proportionate share of the operating expenses of such investment companies,
including advisory fees.

MORTGAGE-BACKED AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES--Two principal types of
mortgage-backed securities are collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and
real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"). CMOs are securities
collateralized by mortgages, mortgage pass-through certificates, mortgage
pay-through bonds (bonds representing an interest in a pool of mortgages where
the cash flow generated from the mortgage collateral pool is dedicated to bond
repayment), and mortgage-backed bonds (general obligations of issuers payable
out of the issuers' general funds and additional secured by a first lien on a
pool of single family properties).

Many CMOs are issued with a number of classes or series which have different
maturities and are retired in sequence. Investors purchasing CMOs in the
shortest maturities receive or are credited with their PRO RATA portion of the
scheduled payments of interest and principal on the underlying mortgages plus
all unscheduled prepayments of principal up to a predetermined portion of the
total CMO obligation. Until that portion of such CMO obligation is repaid,
investors in the longer maturities receive interest only. Accordingly, CMOs in
longer maturity series are less likely than other mortgage pass-throughs to be
prepaid prior to their stated maturity. Although some of the mortgages
underlying CMOs may be supported by various types of insurance, and while some
CMOs may be backed by GNMA certificates or other mortgage pass-throughs issued
or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities, CMOs themselves
are not generally guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any other entity.

REMICs, which were authorized under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, are private
entities formed for the purpose of holding a fixed pool of mortgages secured by
an interest in real property. REMICs are similar to CMOs in that they issue
multiple classes of securities.

Asset-backed securities are securities that represent an interest in a pool
of non-mortgage assets, including company receivables, truck and auto loans,
leases, and credit card receivables. These issues may be traded over-the-counter
and typically have a short-to-intermediate maturity structure depending on the
paydown characteristics of the underlying financial assets.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES--Municipal notes include, but are not limited to,
general obligation notes, tax anticipation notes (notes sold to finance working
capital needs of the issuer in anticipation of receiving taxes on a future
date), revenue anticipation notes (notes sold to provide needed cash prior to
receipt of expected non-tax revenues from a specific source), bond anticipation
notes, certificates of indebtedness, demand notes and construction loan notes.

Private activity bonds are issued by, or on behalf of, states or political
subdivisions thereof to finance privately owned or operated facilities for
business and manufacturing housing, sports, and pollution control and to finance
activities of and facilities for charitable institutions. Private activity bonds
are also used to finance public facilities such as airports, mass transit
systems, ports, parking and low income housing. The payment of the principal and
interest on private activity bonds is dependent solely on the ability of the
facility's user to meet its financial obligations and may be secured by a pledge
of real and personal property so financed.

S-3
<PAGE>

Investments in floating rate instruments will normally involve industrial
development or revenue bonds which provide that the rate of interest is set as a
specific percentage of a designated base rate (such as the prime rate) at a
major commercial bank, and that the Fund can demand payment of the obligation at
all times or at stipulated dates on short notice (not to exceed 30 days) at par
plus accrued interest. Such obligations are frequently secured by letters of
credit or other credit support arrangements provided by banks. The quality of
the underlying credit or of the bank, as the case may be, must, in the Adviser's
opinion, be equivalent to the long-term bond or commercial paper ratings stated
above. The Adviser will monitor the earning power, cash flow and liquidity
ratios of the issuers of such instruments and the ability of an issuer of a
demand instrument to pay principal and interest on demand. The Adviser may
purchase other types of tax-exempt instruments as long as they are of a quality
equivalent to the bond or commercial paper ratings stated above.

The Adviser has the authority to purchase securities at a price which would
result in a yield to maturity lower than that generally offered by the seller at
the time of purchase when they can simultaneously acquire the right to sell the
securities back to the seller, the issuer, or a third party (the "writer") at an
agreed-upon price at any time during a stated period or on a certain date. Such
a right is generally denoted as a "standby commitment" or a "put." The purpose
of engaging in transactions involving puts is to maintain flexibility and
liquidity in order to meet redemptions and remain as fully invested as possible
in municipal securities. The right to put the securities depends on the writer's
ability to pay for the securities at the time the put is exercised. The Funds
will limit their put transactions to those with institutions which the Adviser
believes present minimum credit risks, and the Adviser will use its best efforts
to initially determine and thereafter monitor the financial strength of the put
providers by evaluating their financial statements and such other information as
is available in the marketplace. It may, however, be difficult to monitor the
financial strength of the writers where adequate current financial information
is not available. In the event that any writer is unable to honor a put for
financial reasons, the affected Fund would be a general creditor (I.E., on a
parity with all other unsecured creditors) of the writer. Furthermore,
particular provisions of the contract between a Fund and the writer may excuse
the writer from repurchasing the securities in certain circumstances (for
example, a change in the published rating of the underlying municipal securities
or any similar event that has an adverse effect on the issuer's credit); or a
provision in the contract may provide that the put will not be exercised except
in certain special cases, for example, to maintain portfolio liquidity. A Fund
could, however, sell the underlying portfolio security in the open market or
wait until the portfolio security matures, at which time it should realize the
full par value of the security.

Municipal securities purchased subject to a put may be sold to third persons
at any time, even though the put is outstanding, but the put itself, unless it
is an integral part of the security as originally issued, may not be marketable
or otherwise assignable. Sale of the securities to third parties or lapse of
time with the put unexercised may terminate the right to put the securities.
Prior to the expiration of any put option, a Fund could seek to negotiate terms
for the extension of such an option. If such a renewal cannot be negotiated on
terms satisfactory to a Fund, such Fund could, of course, sell the portfolio
security. The maturity of the underlying security will generally be different
from that of the put. There will be no limit to the percentage of portfolio
securities that the Funds may purchase subject to a put. For the purpose of
determining the "maturity" of securities purchased subject to an option to put,
and for the purpose of determining the dollar-weighted average maturity of the
Funds including such securities, the Trust will consider "maturity" to be the
first date on which it has the right to demand payment from the writer of the
put although the final maturity of the security is later than such date.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO HAWAII MUNICIPAL SECURITIES

The ability of issuers to pay interest on, and repay principal of, Hawaii
Municipal Securities may be affected by (1) the general financial condition of
the State of Hawaii, (2) amendments to the Hawaii

S-4
<PAGE>
Constitution and related statutes that limit the taxing and spending authority
of Hawaii government entities, (3) voter initiatives, (4) civil actions and (5)
a wide variety of Hawaii laws and regulations.

Municipal securities which are payable only from the revenues derived from a
particular facility may be adversely affected by Hawaii laws or regulations
which make it more difficult for the particular facility to generate revenues
sufficient to pay such interest and principal including, among others, laws and
regulations which limit the amount of fees, rates or other charges which may be
imposed for use of the facility or which increase competition among facilities
of that type or which limit or otherwise have the effect of reducing the use of
such facilities generally, thereby reducing the revenues generated by the
particular facility. Municipal securities, the payment of interest and principal
on which is insured in whole or in part by a Hawaii governmentally created fund,
may be adversely affected by Hawaii laws or regulations which restrict the
aggregate proceeds available for payment of principal and interest in the event
of a default on such municipal securities. Similarly, municipal securities, the
payment of interest and principal on which is secured, in whole or in part, by
an interest in real property may be adversely affected by Hawaii laws which
limit the availability of remedies or the scope of remedies available in the
event of a default on such municipal securities. Because of the diverse nature
of such laws and regulations and the impossibility of either predicting in which
specific municipal securities the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund will invest from
time to time or predicting the nature or extent of future changes in existing
laws or regulations or the future enactment or adoption of additional laws or
regulations, it is not presently possible to determine the impact of such laws
and regulations on the securities in which the Fund may invest and, therefore,
on the shares of the Fund.

OTHER INVESTMENTS--The Funds are not prohibited from investing in
obligations of banks which are clients of SEI Investments Company. However, the
purchase of shares of the Trust by them or by their customers will not be a
consideration in determining which bank obligations the Funds will purchase. The
Funds will not purchase obligations of the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Repurchase agreements are agreements by which a
person (E.G., a Fund) obtains a security and simultaneously commits to return
the security to the seller (a financial institution deemed to present minimal
risk of bankruptcy during the term of the agreement based on guidelines
established and periodically reviewed by the Trustees) at an agreed upon price
(including principal and interest) on an agreed upon date within a number of
days (usually not more than seven) from the date of purchase. The resale price
reflects the purchase price plus an agreed upon market rate of interest which is
unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity date of the underlying security. A
repurchase agreement involves the obligation of the seller to pay the agreed
upon price, which obligation is in effect secured by the value of the underlying
security.

Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by the participating Fund
for purposes of its investment limitations. Repurchase agreements entered into
by the Funds will provide that the underlying security at all times shall have a
value at least equal to 102% of the resale price stated in the agreement. Under
all repurchase agreements entered into by the Funds, the Fund takes actual or
constructive possession of the underlying collateral. However, if the seller
defaults, the Fund could realize a loss on the sale of the underlying security
to the extent that the proceeds of sale including accrued interest are less than
the resale price provided in the agreement including interest. In addition, even
though the Bankruptcy Code provides protection for most repurchase agreements,
if the seller should be involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, the
Fund may incur delay and costs in selling the underlying security or may suffer
a loss of principal and interest if the Fund is treated as an unsecured creditor
and required to return the underlying security to the seller's estate.

SECURITIES LENDING--Each of the Funds may lend securities pursuant to
agreements requiring that the loans be continuously secured by cash or liquid
securities as collateral equal to 100% of the market value at all times of the
securities lent. Such loans will not be made if, as a result, the aggregate
amount of all outstanding securities loans for a Fund exceed one-third of the
value of its total assets, including the

S-5
<PAGE>

value of the collateral, taken at fair market value. Effectively, a Fund may
loan securities up to 50% of the value of its total assets. A Fund will continue
to receive interest on the securities lent while simultaneously earning interest
on the investment of the cash collateral in U.S. Government securities. However,
a Fund will normally pay lending fees to broker-dealers and related expenses
from the interest earned on invested collateral. There may be risks of delay in
receiving additional collateral or risks of delay in recovery of the securities
or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities
fail financially. However, loans are made only to borrowers deemed by the
Adviser to be of good standing and when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the
consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies
the attendant risk. Any loan may be terminated by either party upon reasonable
notice to the other party.

VARIABLE AMOUNT MASTER DEMAND NOTES--Variable amount master demand notes are
debt obligations which may or may not be backed by bank letters of credit. These
notes permit the investment of fluctuating amounts at varying market rates of
interest pursuant to direct arrangements between the Fund, as lender, and the
borrower. Such notes provide that the interest rate on the amount outstanding
varies on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending upon a stated short-term
interest rate index. Both the lender and the borrower have the right to reduce
the amount of outstanding indebtedness at any time. There is no secondary market
for the notes. It is not generally contemplated that such instruments will be
traded.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES--When-issued securities involve the purchase of debt
obligations on a when-issued basis, in which case delivery and payment normally
take place within 45 days after the date of commitment to purchase. The Funds
will only make commitments to purchase obligations on a when-issued basis with
the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell them before the
settlement date. The when-issued securities are subject to market fluctuation,
and no interest accrues on the security to the purchaser during this period. The
payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the securities
are each fixed at the time the purchaser enters into the commitment. Purchasing
obligations on a when-issued basis is a form of leveraging and can involve a
risk that the yields available in the market when the delivery takes place may
actually be higher than those obtained in the transaction itself. In that case
there could be an unrealized loss at the time of delivery.

Segregated accounts will be established with the custodian, and the Funds
will maintain liquid assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Funds'
commitments to purchase when-issued securities. If the value of these assets
declines, the Funds will place additional liquid assets in the account on a
daily basis so that the value of the assets in the account is equal to the
amount of such commitments.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES

A Fund may not:

1. Acquire more than 10% of the voting securities of any one issuer, provided
that this limitation shall apply only as to 75% of the Fund's net assets
except that this restriction does not apply to the Hawaii Municipal Bond
Fund.

2. Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control.

3. Borrow money except for temporary or emergency purposes and then only in an
amount not exceeding one-third of the value of total assets. To the extent
that such borrowing exceeds 5% of the value of the borrowing Fund's assets,
asset coverage of at least 300% is required. No Fund will purchase
securities while its borrowings exceed 5% of its total assets.

4. Make loans, except that (a) each Fund may purchase or hold debt instruments
in accordance with its investment objective and policies; (b) each Fund may
enter into repurchase agreements, and (c) the

S-6
<PAGE>
Money Market, Treasury Money Market, High Grade Income, Hawaii Municipal
Bond and Equity Funds may engage in securities lending.

5. Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate assets except to secure borrowings permitted
by (3) above in aggregate amounts not to exceed 33% of total assets taken at
current value at the time of the incurrence of such loan.

6. Purchase or sell real estate, real estate limited partnership interests,
commodities or commodities contracts. However, each of the Funds (other than
the Money Market and Treasury Money Market Funds) may invest in companies
which invest in real estate, and in commodities contracts.

7. Make short sales of securities or purchase securities on margin, except that
each Fund may obtain short-term credits as necessary for the clearance of
security transactions.

8. Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers except as it may be
deemed an underwriter in selling a portfolio security.

9. Purchase securities of other investment companies, except as permitted by
rules and the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the regulations thereunder.

10. Issue senior securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940)
except in connection with permitted borrowings as described above or as
permitted by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC").

11. Invest in interests in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development
programs and oil, gas or mineral leases.

NON-FUNDAMENTAL POLICY

No Fund may invest in illiquid securities in an amount exceeding, in the
aggregate, 15% of the Fund's net assets (except for all money market funds, for
which the limit is 10%).

The foregoing percentages will apply at the time the Fund purchases the
security and shall not be considered violated unless an excess occurs or exists
immediately after, and as a result of, a purchase of such security.

THE ADVISER

The Trust and First Hawaiian Bank (the "Adviser") have entered into an
advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") dated January 27, 1995. The
Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser shall not be protected against any
liability to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from
reckless disregard of its obligations or duties thereunder.

The Advisory Agreement provides that if, for any fiscal year, the ratio of
expenses of any Fund (including amounts payable to the Adviser but excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage, litigation, and other extraordinary expenses)
exceeds limitations established by any state, the Adviser will bear the amount
of such excess. The Adviser will not be required to bear expenses of the Trust
to an extent which would result in a Fund's inability to qualify as a regulated
investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

The continuance of the Advisory Agreement, after the first two years, must
be specifically approved at least annually (i) by the vote of a majority of the
Trustees who are not parties to the Agreement or "interested persons" of any
party thereto, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval, and (ii) by the vote of the Trustees or a majority of outstanding
shares of the Funds, as defined in the 1940 Act. The Advisory Agreement will
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, and is terminable at any
time without penalty by the Trustees of the Trust or, with respect to

S-7
<PAGE>

the Funds, by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Funds, on not less
than 30 days' nor more than 60 days' written notice to the Adviser, or by the
Adviser on 90 days' written notice to the Trust.

The Adviser is entitled to a fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly
at an annual rate of .30% of the daily average net assets of the Money Market
and Treasury Money Market Funds, .55% of the daily average net assets of the
High Grade Income Fund, .35% of the daily average net assets of the Hawaii
Municipal Bond Fund and .74% of the daily average net assets of the Equity Fund.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Funds paid

PERFORMANCE

YIELDS. Yields are one basis upon which investors may compare the Funds
with other funds; however, yields of other funds and other investment vehicles
may not be comparable because of the factors set forth below and differences in
the methods used in valuing portfolio instruments.

The yield of a money market fund fluctuates, and the annualization of a
week's dividend is not a representation by the Trust as to what an investment in
a money market fund will actually yield in the future. Actual yields will depend
on such variables as asset quality, average asset maturity, the type of
instruments the Fund invests in, changes in interest rates on money market
instruments, changes in the expenses of the Fund and other factors.

MONEY MARKET FUND YIELDS. From time to time the Money Market and Treasury
Money Market Funds advertise their "current yield" and "effective yield" (also
called "effective compound yield"). Both yield figures are based on historical
earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The current yield
of these Funds refers to the income generated by an investment in the Funds over
a seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement). This
income is then annualized. That is, the amount of income generated by the
investment during that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week
period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The effective yield is
similarly calculated but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in
the Funds is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly
higher than the current yield because of the compounding effect of this assumed
reinvestment.

The current yield of the Money Market and Treasury Money Market Funds will
be calculated daily based upon the seven days ending on the date of calculation
(the "base period"). The yield is computed by determining the net change
(exclusive of capital changes) in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing
shareholder account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the
period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from shareholder
accounts, and dividing such net change by the value of the account at the
beginning of the same period to obtain the base period return and multiplying
the result by (365/7). Realized and unrealized gains and losses are not included
in the calculation of the yield. The effective compound yield of these Funds is
determined by computing the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the
value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at
the beginning of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting
deductions from shareholder accounts, and dividing the difference by the value
of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period
return, and then compounding the base period return by adding 1, raising the sum
to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the result,
according to the following formula: Effective Yield = ((Base Period Return + 1)
(365/7))-1. The current and the effective yields reflect the reinvestment of net
income earned daily on portfolio assets.

For the seven-day period ended December 31, 1997, the seven-day yield and
seven-day effective yield for the Money Market Fund were 5.36% and 5.50%,
respectively.

For the seven-day period ended December 31, 1997, the seven-day yield and
seven-day effective yield for the Treasury Money Market Fund were 5.32% and
5.46%, respectively.

OTHER YIELDS. The Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund and the High Grade Income Fund
may advertise a 30-day yield. The Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund also may advertise
30-day tax-equivalent yield. Tax equivalent yields are computed by dividing that
portion of the Fund's yield which is tax-exempt by one minus a stated federal
and state income tax rate and adding the product to that portion, if any, of the
Fund's yield that is not tax-exempt. (Tax equivalent yields assume the payment
of Federal income taxes at a rate of 31% and Hawaii income taxes at a rate of
10%.) These figures will be based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. The 30-day yield of these Funds refers to the
annualized income generated by an investment in the Funds over a specified
30-day period. The yield is

S-12
<PAGE>
calculated by assuming that the income generated by the investment during that
period generated each period over one year and is shown as a percentage of the
investment. In particular, yield will be calculated according to the following
formula:

6
Yield = (2 (a-b/cd + 1) -1), where a = dividends and interest earned during
the period; b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements); c = the
average daily number of shares outstanding during the period that were entitled
to receive dividends; and d = the maximum offering price per share on the last
day of the period.

Tax equivalent yields are computed by dividing that portion of a Fund's
yield which is tax-exempt by one minus a stated federal and state income tax
rate and adding the product to that portion, if any, of the Fund's yield that is
not tax-exempt.

For the 30-day period ended December 31, 1997, the 30-day yield and 30-day
tax equivalent yield for the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund were 4.72% and 8.00%,
respectively. For the 30-day period ended December 31, 1997, the 30-day yield
for the High Grade Income Fund was 5.36%.

TOTAL RETURN. From time to time, certain of the Funds may advertise total
return on an "average annual total return" basis and on an "aggregate total
return" basis for various periods. Average annual total return reflects the
average annual percentage change in the value of an investment in a Fund over a
particular measuring period. Aggregate total return reflects the cumulative
percentage change in value over the measuring period. Aggregate total return is
computed according to a formula prescribed by the SEC. The formula can be
expressed as follows: n
P (1 + T) = ERV,
where P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000; T = average annual total
return; n = number of years; and ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical
$1,000 payment made at the beginning of the designated time period as of the end
of such period or the life of the fund. The formula for calculating aggregate
total return can be expressed as (ERV/P)-1.

The calculation of total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and
capital gain distribution on the reinvestment dates during the period and that
the entire investment is redeemed at the end of the period. The performance
results listed below refer to results for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997.

The Funds' performance may from time to time be compared to other mutual
funds tracked by mutual fund rating services (such as Lipper Analytical
Services), financial and business publications and periodicals, to broad groups
of comparable mutual funds or to unmanaged indices which may assume investment
of dividends but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and
management costs. The Funds may quote Morningstar, Inc., a service that ranks
mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. The Funds may quote
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois, which provides historical returns of
the capitals markets in the U.S. The Funds may use long term performance of
these capital markets to demonstrate general long-term risk vs. reward scenarios
and could include the value of a hypothetical investment in any of the capital
markets. The Funds may also quote financial and business publications and
periodicals as they relate to fund management, investment philosophy, and
investment techniques.

S-13
<PAGE>
The Funds may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation
in advertising and may compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures
of volatility attempt to compare historical share price fluctuations or total
returns to a benchmark while measures of benchmark correlation indicate how
valid a comparative benchmark might be. Measures of volatility and correlation
are calculated using averages of historical data and cannot be calculated
precisely.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES

Purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds may be made on any day the
New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve wire system are open for
business. Currently, the weekdays on which the Trust is closed for business are:
New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday,
Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day,
Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

It is the Trust's policy to pay for redemptions in cash. The Trust retains
the right, however, to provide for redemptions in whole or in part by a
distribution in-kind of securities held by the Funds in lieu of cash.
Shareholders may incur brokerage charges on the sale of any such securities so
received in payment of redemptions. A Shareholder will at all times be entitled
to aggregate cash redemptions from all Funds of the Trust during any 90-day
period of up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Trust's net assets.

The Trust reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption and/or to
postpone the date of payment upon redemption for any period on which trading on
the New York Stock Exchange is restricted, or during the existence of an
emergency (as determined by the SEC by rule or regulation) as a result of
disposal or valuation of the Fund's securities is not reasonably practicable, or
for such other periods as the SEC has by order permitted. The Trust also
reserves the right to suspend sales of shares of the Funds for any period during
which the New York Stock Exchange, the Adviser, the Administrator and/or the
Custodian are not open for business.

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value per share of the Money Market and Treasury Money Market
Funds is calculated by adding the value of securities and other assets,
subtracting liabilities and dividing by the number of outstanding shares.
Securities will be valued by the amortized cost method which involves valuing a
security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter (absent unusual
circumstances) assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuations in general market rates of
interest on the value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in
valuation, it may result in periods during which a security's value, as
determined by this method, is higher or lower than the price these Funds would
receive if they sold the instrument. During periods of declining interest rates,
the daily yield of these Funds may tend to be higher than a like computation
made by a company with identical investments utilizing a method of valuation
based upon market prices and estimates of market prices for all of its portfolio
securities. Thus, if the use of amortized cost by these Funds resulted in a
lower aggregate portfolio value on a particular day, a prospective investor in
these Funds would be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result
from investment in a company utilizing solely market values, and existing
investors in these Funds would experience a lower yield. The converse would
apply in a period of rising interest rates.

The Money Market and Treasury Money Market Funds' use of amortized cost and
the maintenance of these Funds' net asset value at $1.00 are permitted by
regulations promulgated by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, provided that certain
conditions are met. These conditions currently require that the Funds maintain a
dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less, not purchase any instrument
having a remaining maturity of more than 397 days, and will limit their
investments to those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments which the Trustees
determine to present minimal credit risks and which are of "eligible" quality.
The regulations also require the Trustees to establish procedures which are
reasonably designed to

S-14
<PAGE>
stabilize the net asset value per share at $1.00 for these Funds. Such
procedures include the determination of the extent of deviation, if any, of the
Funds' current net asset value per share calculated using available market
quotations from the Funds' amortized cost price per share at such intervals as
the Trustees deem appropriate and reasonable in light of market conditions and
periodic reviews of the amount of the deviation and the methods used to
calculate such deviation. In the event that such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%,
the Trustees are required to consider promptly what action, if any, should be
initiated, and, if the Trustees believe that the extent of any deviation may
result in material dilution or other unfair results to Shareholders, the
Trustees are required to take such corrective action as they deem appropriate to
eliminate or reduce such dilution or unfair results to the extent reasonably
practicable. Such actions may include the sale of portfolio instruments prior to
maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio
maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind; or establishing a net
asset value per share by using available market quotations. In addition, if
these Funds incur a significant loss or liability, the Trustees have the
authority to reduce PRO RATA the number of shares of these Funds in each
Shareholder's account and to offset each Shareholder's PRO RATA portion of such
loss or liability from the Shareholder's accrued but unpaid dividends or from
future dividends.

The securities of the Equity, Hawaii Municipal Bond and High Grade Income
Funds are valued pursuant to prices and valuations provided by an independent
pricing service. The pricing service relies primarily on prices of actual market
transactions as well as trader quotations. However, the service may also use a
matrix system to determine valuations, which system considers such factors as
security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments
relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations. The procedures of the
pricing service and its valuations are reviewed by the officers of the Trust
under the general supervision of the Trustees.

TAXES

The following is only a summary of certain income tax considerations
generally affecting a Fund and its Shareholders and is not intended as a
substitute for careful tax planning. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax
advisers with specific reference to their own tax situations, including their
state and local income tax liabilities.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX

ALL FUNDS

In order to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), each Fund must
distribute annually to its Shareholders at least the sum of 90% of its net
interest income excludable from gross income plus 90% of its investment company
taxable income (generally, net investment income plus net short-term capital
gain) (the "Distribution Requirement") and also must meet several additional
requirements. Among these requirements are the following: (i) at least 90% of
the Fund's gross income each taxable year must be derived from dividends,
interest, payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale or
other disposition of stock or securities, or certain other income; (ii) at the
close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of
its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S. Government
securities, securities of other RICs and other securities, with such other
securities limited, in respect to any one issuer, to an amount that does not
exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's assets and that does not represent more
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and (iii) at the
close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value
of its assets may be invested in securities (other than U.S. Government
securities or the securities of other RICs) (A) of any one issuer or (B) of two
or more issuers which are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or
businesses if the Fund owns at least 20% of the voting power of such issuers.

S-15
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the Distribution Requirement described above, which only
requires a Fund to distribute at least 90% of its annual investment company
taxable income and does not require any minimum distribution of net capital gain
(the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), a
Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax to the extent it fails to
distribute by the end of any calendar year 98% of its ordinary income for that
year and 98% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending on
October 31 of that year, plus certain other amounts.

If a Fund should fail to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, the Fund
would pay tax on its taxable investment income and capital gains at regular
corporate rates without any deductions for amounts distributed to Shareholders.
In addition, all of the Fund's distributions to Shareholders would be taxable as
ordinary income and would qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction
in the case of corporate shareholders.

A dividends received deduction is available to corporations that receive
dividends from domestic corporations. Dividends paid by an equity fund generally
will be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders
to the extent they are derived from dividends from domestic corporations. Equity
Fund Shareholders will be advised each year of the portion of ordinary income
dividends eligible for the deduction.

Dividends received from other funds, e.g., money market or fixed income
funds, will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Individual
shareholders are not entitled to the dividends received deduction regardless of
which fund paid the dividend.

Any gain or loss recognized on a sale or redemption of shares of any Fund by
a Shareholder who is not a dealer in securities will generally be treated as a
long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than twelve
months and otherwise will be generally treated as a short-term capital gain or
loss. A non-corporate taxpayer's long-term capital gain from assets held (i) for
more than one year, but not more than 18 months, generally are taxable at the
maximum rate of 28 percent and (ii) for more than 18 months generally are
taxable at the maximum rate of 20 percent. Any loss recognized by a Shareholder
upon the sale or redemption of shares of any Fund held for six months or less,
however, will be disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends
received by the Shareholder with respect to such shares. If shares on which a
net capital gain distribution has been received are subsequently sold or
redeemed and such shares have been held for six months or less, any loss
recognized will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the
long-term capital gain distribution.

Interest on indebtedness incurred by Shareholders to purchase or carry
shares of the Fund will not be deductible for federal income tax purposes to the
extent the Fund distributes exempt-interest dividends during the taxable year.
The deduction otherwise allowable to property and casualty insurance companies
for "losses incurred" will be reduced by an amount equal to a portion of
exempt-interest dividends received or accrued during any taxable year. Foreign
corporations engaged in a trade or business in the United States may be subject
to a "branch profits tax" on their "dividend equivalent amount" for the taxable
year, which will include exempt-interest dividends. Certain Subchapter S
corporations may also be subject to taxes on their "passive investment income,"
which could include exempt-interest dividends. Up to 85 percent of the Social
Security benefits or railroad retirement benefits received by an individual
during any taxable year will be included in the gross income of such individual
if the individual's "modified adjusted gross income" (which includes
exempt-interest dividends) plus one-half of the Social Security benefits or
railroad retirement benefits received by such individual during that taxable
year exceeds the base amount described in Section 86 of the Code.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR HAWAII MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

As noted in the Prospectus, exempt interest dividends are generally
excludable from a Shareholder's gross income for regular federal income tax
purposes. Exempt-interest dividends may nevertheless be subject to the
alternative minimum tax (the "Alternative Minimum Tax") imposed by Section 55 of
the

S-16
<PAGE>
Code. The Alternative Minimum Tax is imposed at the rate of 26-28% in the case
of non-corporate taxpayers and at the rate of 20% in the case of corporate
taxpayers, to the extent it exceeds the taxpayer's regular tax liability. The
Alternative Minimum Tax may be imposed in two circumstances. First, exempt-
interest dividends derived from certain "private activity bonds" issued after
August 7, 1986, will generally be an item of tax preference (and therefore
potentially subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax for both corporate and
non-corporate taxpayers). Second, in the case of exempt-interest dividends
received by corporate Shareholders, all exempt-interest dividends, regardless of
when the bonds from which they are derived were issued or whether they are
derived from private activity bonds, will be included in the corporation's
"adjusted current earnings," as defined in Section 56(g) of the Code, in
calculating the corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of
determining the Alternative Minimum Tax.

The Fund may not be an appropriate investment for persons (including
corporations and other business entities) who are "substantial users" (or
persons related to such users) of facilities financed by industrial development
bonds or private activity bonds. A "substantial user" is defined generally to
include certain persons who regularly use a facility financed by the proceeds of
such bonds in their trade or business. Such entities or persons should consult
their tax advisors before purchasing shares of either Fund.

Issuers of bonds purchased by the Fund (or the beneficiary of such bonds)
may have made certain representations or covenants in connection with the
issuance of such bonds to satisfy certain requirements of the Code that must be
satisfied subsequent to the issuance of such bonds. Investors should be aware
that exempt-interest dividends derived from such bonds may become subject to
federal income taxation retroactively to the date of such issuance of the bonds
to which such dividends are attributable if such representations are determined
to have been inaccurate or if the issuer of such bonds (or the beneficiary of
such bonds) fails to comply with such covenants.

STATE TAXES

A Fund is not liable for any income or franchise tax in Massachusetts if it
qualifies as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. Depending upon state and
local law, distributions by the Funds to Shareholders and the ownership of
shares may be subject to state and local taxes.

Many states allow income received from certain U.S. Government obligations
that is tax exempt when received directly to be tax exempt when received as
income dividends from an investment company. Not all states permit such income
dividends to be tax exempt and some require that a certain minimum percentage of
an investment company's income dividend be derived from state tax-exempt
interest before any portion of the income dividends may be exempt. The Funds
will inform Shareholders annually of the percentage of income that is derived
from direct U.S. Government obligations. Shareholders should consult their tax
advisors to determine whether any portion of the income dividends received from
a Fund is considered tax exempt in their particular states.

HAWAII TAXATION

The State of Hawaii has specifically adopted Sections 852 through 855 of the
Code, which provisions provide for pass-through treatment of exempt interest
dividends and capital gains, i.e., distributions by the Hawaii Municipal Bond
Fund of dividends representing exempt interest and capital gains retain their
original character in the hands of Shareholders. As the State of Hawaii's
Department of Taxation has confirmed in response to a request by special counsel
for the Trust, distributions from the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund to its
Shareholders which are attributable to interest on obligations exempt from
income tax in the State of Hawaii will not be subject to Hawaii income tax in
the hands of shareholders so long as at least 50% of the Hawaii Municipal Bond
Fund's assets are invested in securities the interest from which is exempt from
Hawaii state taxation. In addition, the Department of Taxation has confirmed
that interest income on obligations issued by the U.S. Government and its
territories, such as Guam, Puerto

S-17
<PAGE>
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, is exempt from State of Hawaii income
taxation. While the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund intends to invest primarily in
obligations such as these which produce tax-exempt interest, if the Fund invests
in obligations that are not exempt for Hawaii purposes, a portion of the Fund's
distribution will be subject to Hawaii income tax.

FUND TRANSACTIONS

Subject to policies established by the Trustees, the Adviser (and, where
applicable, the Sub-Adviser) are responsible for placing the orders to execute
transactions for the Funds. In placing orders, it is the policy of the Adviser
to seek to obtain the best net results taking into account such factors as price
(including the applicable dealer spread), the size, type and difficulty of the
transaction involved, the firm's general execution and operational facilities,
and the firm's risk in positioning the securities involved. While the Adviser
generally seeks reasonably competitive spreads or commissions, the Funds will
not necessarily be paying the lowest spread or commission available. The Funds
will not purchase portfolio securities from any affiliated person acting as
principal except in conformity with the regulations of the SEC.

The money market securities in which the Funds invest are traded primarily
in the over-the-counter market. Bonds and debentures are usually traded
over-the-counter, but may be traded on an exchange. Where possible, the Adviser
will deal directly with the dealers who make a market in the securities involved
except in those circumstances where better prices and execution are available
elsewhere. Such dealers usually are acting as principal for their own account.
On occasion, securities may be purchased directly from the issuer. Money market
securities are generally traded on a net basis and do not normally involve
either brokerage commissions or transfer taxes. The cost of executing portfolio
securities transactions of the Trust will primarily consist of dealer spreads
and underwriting commissions.

The Trust selects brokers or dealers to execute transactions for the
purchase or sale of portfolio securities on the basis of its judgment of their
professional capability to provide the service. The primary consideration is to
have brokers or dealers provide transactions at best price and execution for the
Trust. Best price and execution includes many factors, including the price paid
or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and
reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement accorded the order
and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the account on the
transaction. The Trust's determination of what are reasonably competitive rates
is based upon the professional knowledge of its trading department as to rates
paid and charged for similar transactions throughout the securities industry. In
some instances, the Trust pays a minimal share transaction cost when the
transaction presents no difficulty. Some trades are made on a net basis where
the Trust either buys securities directly from the dealer or sells them to the
dealer. In these instances, there is no direct commission charged but there is a
spread (the difference between the buy and sell price) which is the equivalent
of a commission.

The Trust may allocate out of all commission business generated by all of
the Funds and accounts under management by the Adviser, brokerage business to
brokers or dealers who provide brokerage and research services. These research
services include advice, either directly or through publications or writings, as
to the value of securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing or
selling securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers
of securities; furnishing of analyses and reports concerning issuers, securities
or industries; providing information on economic factors and trends, assisting
in determining portfolio strategy, providing computer software used in security
analyses, and providing portfolio performance evaluation and technical market
analyses. Such services are used by the Adviser in connection with its
investment decision-making process with respect to one or more funds and
accounts managed by it, and may not be used exclusively with respect to the fund
or account generating the brokerage.

As provided in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") higher
commissions may be paid to broker-dealers who provide brokerage and research
services than to broker-dealers who do not provide

S-18
<PAGE>
such services if such higher commissions are deemed reasonable in relation to
the value of the brokerage and research services provided. Although transactions
are directed to broker-dealers who provide such brokerage and research services,
the Trust believes that the commissions paid to such broker-dealers are not, in
general, higher than commissions that would be paid to broker-dealers not
providing such services and that such commissions are reasonable in relation to
the value of the brokerage and research services provided. In addition,
portfolio transactions which generate commissions or their equivalent are
directed to broker-dealers who provide daily portfolio pricing services to the
Trust. Subject to best price and execution, commissions used for pricing may or
may not be generated by the funds receiving the pricing service.

The Adviser may place a combined order for two or more accounts or Funds
engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security if, in its judgment, joint
execution is in the best interest of each participant and will result in best
price and execution. Transactions involving commingled orders are allocated in a
manner deemed equitable to each account or fund. It is believed that the ability
of the accounts to participate in volume transactions will generally be
beneficial to the accounts and funds. Although it is recognized that, in some
cases, the joint execution of orders could adversely affect the price or volume
of the security that a particular account or Fund may obtain, it is the opinion
of the Adviser and the Trust's Board of Trustees that the advantages of combined
orders outweigh the possible disadvantages of separate transactions.

Consistent with the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., and subject to seeking best price and execution, the Funds, at
the request of the Distributor, give consideration to sales of shares of the
Trust as a factor in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute Trust
portfolio transactions.

The Funds may execute brokerage or other agency transactions through the
Distributor, which is a registered broker-dealer in conformity with the 1940
Act, the 1934 Act and rules promulgated by the SEC. Under these provisions, the
Distributor is permitted to receive and retain compensation for effecting
portfolio transactions for the Funds on an exchange if a written contract is in
effect between the Distributor and the Trust expressly permitting the
Distributor to receive and retain such compensation.

These rules further require that commissions paid to the Distributor by the
Trust for exchange transactions not exceed "usual and customary" brokerage
commissions. The rules define "usual and customary" commissions to include
amounts which are "reasonable and fair compared to the commission, fee or other
remuneration received or to be received by other brokers in connection with
comparable transactions involving similar securities being purchased or sold on
a securities exchange during a comparable period of time." In addition, the
Funds may direct commission business to one or more designated broker/dealers,
including the Distributor, in connection with such broker/dealer's payment of
certain of the Funds' expenses. The Trustees, including those who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust, have adopted procedures for evaluating the
reasonableness of commissions paid to the Distributor and will review these
procedures periodically.

Since the Trust does not market its shares through intermediary
broker-dealers, it is not the Trust's practice to allocate brokerage business on
the basis of sales of its shares which may be made through such firms. However,
the Adviser may place Fund orders with qualified broker-dealers who recommend
the Trust to clients, and may, when a number of brokers and dealers can provide
best price and execution on a particular transaction, consider such
recommendations by a broker or dealer in selecting among broker-dealers.

The Trust is required to identify any securities of its "regular brokers or
dealers" (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) which the Trust has acquired
during its most recent fiscal year. As of December 31, 1997, the Equity Fund
held equity securities issued by Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. worth $714,788 and
the Money Market Fund held debt securities issued by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
& Co. worth $8,438,858, Prudential Funding worth $7,478,031, and Chase Manhattan
worth $7,973,600.

S-19
<PAGE>

The portfolio turnover rate for the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund was 27% for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, and 29% for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the portfolio
turnover rate for the Equity Fund was 30% and the High Grade Income Fund was
32%.

For the Trust's fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Trust paid no
brokerage fees. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the Trust paid
$40,380.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

The Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of
shares of each series. Each share of each Fund represents an equal proportionate
interest in that Fund with each other share of that Fund. Shares are entitled
upon liquidation to a PRO RATA share in the net assets of the Funds,
Shareholders have no preemptive rights. The Declaration of Trust provides that
the Trustees of the Trust may create additional series of shares. All
consideration received by the Trust for shares of any additional series and all
assets in which such consideration is invested would belong to that series and
would be subject to the liabilities related thereto. Share certificates
representing shares will not be issued.

LIMITATION OF TRUSTEES' LIABILITY

The Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee shall be liable only for
his own willful defaults and, if reasonable care has been exercised in the
selection of officers, agents, employees or investment advisers, shall not be
liable for any neglect or wrongdoing of any such person. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that the Trust will indemnify its Trustees and officers
against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with actual or
threatened litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices
with the Trust unless it is determined in the manner provided in the Declaration
of Trust that they have not acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that
their actions were in the best interests of the Trust. However, nothing in the
Declaration of Trust shall protect or indemnify a Trustee against any liability
for his willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of his duties.

SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY

The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust could,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for the
obligations of the trust. Even if, however, the Trust were held to be a
partnership, the possibility of the Shareholders' incurring financial loss for
that reason appears remote because the Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an
express disclaimer of Shareholder liability for obligations of the Trust and
requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation
or instrument entered into or executed by or on behalf of the Trust or the
Trustees, and because the Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out
of the Trust property for any shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust.

5% SHAREHOLDERS

As of April 6, 1998, the following persons were the only persons who were
record owners (or to the knowledge of the Trust, beneficial owners) of 5% or 25%
or more of the shares of the Funds. Persons who owned of record or beneficially
more than 25% of a Fund's outstanding shares may be deemed to control the Fund
within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Trust believes that most of the shares
of the Funds were held for the record owner's fiduciary, agency or custodial
customers.

YEAR 2000

The Trust depends on the smooth functioning of computer systems in almost
every aspect of its business. Like other mutual funds, businesses and
individuals around the world, the Trust could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by its service providers do not properly process dates on
and after January 1, 2000 and distinguish between the year 2000 and the year
1900. The Trust has asked its service providers whether they expect to have
their computer systems adjusted for the year 2000 transition, and received
assurances from each that its system is expected to accommodate the year 2000
without material adverse consequences to the Trust. The Trust and its
shareholders may experience losses if these assurances prove to be incorrect or
as a result of year 2000 computer difficulties experienced by issuers of
portfolio securities or third parties, such as custodians, banks, broker-dealers
or others with which the Trust does business.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Trust's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997, including notes thereto and the report of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.
thereon, are herein incorporated by reference. A copy of the 1997 Annual Report
must accompany the delivery of this Statement of Additional Information.

APPENDIX

DESCRIPTION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

The following descriptions of commercial paper ratings have been published
by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's"), Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch"), Duff & Phelps, Inc.
("Duff") and IBCA Limited and IBCA, Inc. (together, "IBCA").

Commercial paper rated A by S&P is regarded by S&P as having the greatest
capacity for timely payment. Issues rated A are further refined by use of the
numbers 1, 1+ and 2, to indicate the relative degree of safety. Issues rated
A-1+ are those with an "overwhelming degree" of credit protection. Those rated
A-1 reflect a "very strong" degree of safety regarding timely payment. Those
rated A-2 reflect a high degree of safety regarding timely payment but not as
high as A-1.

Commercial paper issues rated Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's are judged by
Moody's to be of the "highest" quality and "higher" quality respectively on the
basis of relative repayment capacity.

The rating Fitch-1 (Highest Grade) is the highest commercial rating assigned
by Fitch. Paper rated Fitch-1 is regarded as having the strongest degree of
assurance for timely payment. The rating Fitch-2 (Very Good Grade) is the second
highest commercial paper rating assigned by Fitch which reflects an assurance of
timely payment only slightly less in degree than the strongest issues.

Paper rated Duff-1 is regarded as having very high certainty of timely
payment with excellent liquidity factors which are supported by good fundamental
protection factors. Risk factors are minor. Ratings of Duff-1 are further
refined by the gradations of "1+" and "1-." Issues rated Duff-1+ have the
highest certainty of timely payment, outstanding short term liquidity, and
safety just below risk-free U.S. Treasury short-term obligations. Issues rated
Duff-1- have high certainty of timely payment, strong liquidity factors
supported by good fundamental protection factors, and small risk factors. Paper
rated Duff-2 is regarded as having good certainty of timely payment, good access
to capital markets and sound liquidity factors and company fundamentals. Risk
factors are small.

The designation A1 by IBCA indicates that the obligation is supported by a
very strong capacity for timely repayment. Those obligations rated A1+ are
supported by the highest capacity for timely repayment. Obligations rated A2 are
supported by a strong capacity for timely repayment, although such capacity may
be susceptible to adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions.

DESCRIPTION OF CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

The following descriptions of corporate bond ratings have been published by
S&P, Moody's, Fitch, Duff and IBCA.

Bonds rated AAA have the highest rating S&P assigns to a debt obligation.
Such a rating indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and
interest. Bonds rated AA by S&P also qualify as high-quality debt obligations.
Capacity to pay principal and interest is very strong, and in the majority of
instances they differ from AAA issues only in small degree. Debt rated A by S&P
has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although it is
somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and
economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

Bonds which are rated BBB by S&P are considered as medium-grade obligations
(i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured). Interest payments
and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great
length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in
fact, have speculative characteristics as well.

Bonds which are rated Aaa by Moody's are judged to be of the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to
as "gilt edge." Interest payments are protected by a large, or an exceptionally
stable, margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements
are

S-23
<PAGE>
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues. Bonds rated Aa by Moody's are
judged by Moody's to be of high quality by all standards. Together with bonds
rated Aaa, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds. They are
rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as
large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

Bonds which are rated A by Moody's possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Factors
giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements
may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the
future. Debt rated Baa by Moody's is regarded as having an adequate capacity to
pay interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are
more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal
for debt in this category than in higher rated categories.

Bonds rated AAA by Fitch are judged by Fitch to be strictly high grade,
broadly marketable, suitable for investment by trustees and fiduciary
institutions and liable to but slight market fluctuation other than through
changes in the money rate. The prime feature of an AAA bond is a showing of
earnings several times or many times interest requirements, with such stability
of applicable earnings that safety is beyond reasonable question whatever
changes occur in conditions. Bonds rated AA by Fitch are judged by Fitch to be
of safety virtually beyond question and are readily salable, whose merits are
not unlike those of the AAA class, but whose margin of safety is less strikingly
broad. The issue may be the obligation of a small company, strongly secured but
influenced as to rating by the lesser financial power of the enterprise and more
local type market. Bonds rated A by Fitch are considered to be investment grade
and of high credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay
principal is considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse
changes in economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.
Bonds rated BBB by Fitch are considered to be investment grade and of
satisfactory credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay
principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions
and circumstances, however, are more likely to have adverse impact on these
bonds, and therefore impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of
these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds with
higher ratings.

Bonds rated AAA by Duff are judged by Duff to be of the highest credit
quality, with negligible risk factors being only slightly more than for
risk-free U.S. Treasury debt. Bonds rated AA by Duff are judged by Duff to be of
high credit quality with strong protection factors and risk that is modest but
that may vary slightly from time to time because of economic conditions. Bonds
rated A by Duff are judged by Duff to have average but adequate protection
factors. However, risk factors are more variable and greater in periods of
economic stress. Bonds rated BBB by Duff are judged by Duff as having below
average protection factors but still considered sufficient for prudent
investment, with considerable variability in risk during economic cycles.

Obligations rated AAA by IBCA have the lowest expectation of investment
risk. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is substantial,
such that adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions are
unlikely to increase investment risk significantly. Obligations for which there
is a very low expectation of investment risk are rated AA by IBCA. Capacity for
timely repayment of principal and interest is substantial. Adverse changes in
business, economic or financial conditions may increase investment risk albeit
not very significantly. Obligations for which there is a low expectation on
investment risk are rated A by IBCA. Capacity for timely repayment of principal
and interest is strong, although adverse changes in business, economic or
financial conditions may lead to increased investment risk. Obligations for
which there is currently a low expectation of investment risk are rated BBB by
IBCA. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is adequate,
although adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions are more
likely to lead to increased investment risk than for obligations in higher
categories.

ITEM 27. INDEMNIFICATION:

Article VIII of the Agreement of Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 1 to
the Registration Statement is incorporated by reference. Insofar as
indemnification liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, may be permitted to trustees, directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Declaration of Trust
or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, directors, officers or
controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense
of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, directors,
officers or controlling persons in connection with the shares being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issues.

ITEM 28. BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER AND INVESTMENT
