as  a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December
12, 1994, as amended April 19, 1995. Each Portfolio issues a separate class of
shares.  The  Declaration  of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited
number  of  full  or  fractional  shares  of  each  class  of  stock.

Each    Portfolio  has  distinct  investment  objectives  and  policies.  (See
"Investment Objectives and Policies of the Portfolios.") Additional Portfolios
may  be  added  to  the  Trust  in  the  future.

INVESTMENT  ADVISER  AND  SUB-ADVISERS

strategies    and   policies  of  the  Portfolios.  The  Adviser  has  engaged
Sub-Advisers for each Portfolio to make investment decisions and place orders.

                                THE  PORTFOLIOS

BEA  GROWTH  AND  INCOME  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  fundamental  investment  objective  is  to provide long-term
capital   growth,  current  income  and  growth  of  income,  consistent  with
reasonable  investment  risk.  The Portfolio will invest primarily in domestic
equity  as well as domestic debt securities. The proportion of the Portfolio's
assets  to be invested in each type of security will vary from time to time in
accordance  with  the  Sub-Adviser's  assessment  of  economic  conditions and
investment  opportunities.  The  asset  allocation  strategy  is  based on the
premise  that,  from  time  to time, certain asset classes are more attractive
long-term  than  others.  The Sub-Adviser anticipates that under normal market
conditions,  between  35%  and  65%  of  the  Portfolio's total assets will be
invested  in  equity  securities,  and between 35% and 65% will be invested in
debt  securities.

BLACKROCK  MANAGED  BOND  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  fundamental  investment objective is to provide a high total
return  consistent with moderate risk of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
Total  return  will  consist  of  income, plus realized and unrealized capital
gains  and  losses.  Although  the  net  asset  value  of  the  Portfolio will
fluctuate,  the Portfolio attempts to preserve the value of its investments to
the extent consistent with its objective. The Sub-Adviser actively manages the
Portfolio's  duration, the allocation of securities across market sectors, and
the  selection  of  specific  securities  within sectors. The Sub-Adviser also
actively  allocates  the  Portfolio's  assets  among  the broad sectors of the
fixed-income market, including, but not limited to, U.S. Government and agency
securities,  corporate  securities,  private  placements, and asset-backed and
mortgage-related    securities,    including    residential    and  commercial
mortgage-backed   securities.  Under  normal  circumstances,  the  Sub-Adviser
intends  to keep the Portfolio essentially fully invested with at least 65% of
the  Portfolio's  assets  invested  in  bonds.

CREDIT  SUISSE  INTERNATIONAL  EQUITY  PORTFOLIO

The    Portfolio's  fundamental  investment  objective  is  long-term  capital
appreciation.  The  Portfolio  will seek to achieve its objective primarily by
investing  in  equity and equity-related securities of companies from at least
five  different  countries,  excluding  the  United  States. This Portfolio is
intended  for  investors  who  can accept the risks involved in investments in
equity  and  equity-related  securities  of  non-U.S.  issuers,  as well as in
foreign currencies, and in the active management techniques that the Portfolio
generally employs. Under normal conditions, the Portfolio will invest at least
65% of its total assets in equity securities of issuers whose principal places
of business (as determined by location of the issuer's principal headquarters)
are  located  in  countries  other  than the United States. The balance of the
Portfolio,  up  to  35% of its total assets, may be invested in equity or debt
securities   of  U.S.  issuers  or  foreign  entities.  Investing  in  foreign
securities  generally  involves risks not ordinarily associated with investing
in  securities  of domestic issuers. (See "Appendix - Foreign Investments" and
the  SAI  for  a  discussion  of  the  risks  involved  in foreign investing.)

ELITEVALUE  ASSET  ALLOCATION  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  fundamental  investment  objective  is  to achieve growth of
capital  over  time  through  investment  in  a portfolio consisting of common
stocks,  bonds  and cash equivalents, the percentages of which will vary based
on the Sub-Adviser's assessments of the relative outlook for such investments.
In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the types of equity securities
in  which  the  Portfolio  may  invest  are  likely  to  be primarily those of
companies  that  are  believed  by  the  Sub-Adviser  to be undervalued in the
marketplace  in relation to factors such as the companies' assets or earnings.
Debt    securities    are   expected  to  be  predominantly  investment-grade,
intermediate  to  long-term  U.S.  Government and corporate debt, although the
Portfolio  will  also invest in high-quality, short-term money market and cash
equivalent  securities  and  may  invest  almost  all  of  its  assets in such
securities  when  the  Sub-Adviser  deems  it  advisable  in order to preserve
capital.  In  addition,  the  Portfolio  may also purchase foreign securities,
provided  that they are listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange or
are  represented by American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") listed on a domestic
securities exchange or traded in domestic or foreign over-the-counter markets.
Investing  in  foreign  securities  generally  involves  risks  not ordinarily
associated  with investing in securities of domestic issuers. (See "Appendix -
Foreign  Investments"  and  the  SAI for a discussion of the risks involved in
foreign  investing.)  The  allocation  of  the  Portfolio's  assets  among the
different  types  of  permitted  investments will vary from time to time based
upon  the  Sub-Adviser's  evaluation  of  economic  and  market trends and its
perception  of  the relative values available from such types of securities at
any  given  time.  There  is neither a minimum nor a maximum percentage of the
Portfolio's  assets  that  may,  at  any given time, be invested in any of the
types  of  investments  identified  above.

GLOBAL  ADVISORS  GROWTH  EQUITY  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  fundamental investment objective is to provide total returns
that  exceed  over  time the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index
through investment in equity securities. Equity securities will be selected on
the  basis  of  a proprietary analytical model of the Portfolio's Sub-Adviser.
Each  security  will  be  ranked  according  to  two separate and uncorrelated
measures:  value and the momentum of Wall Street sentiment. The Portfolio will
invest  at  least  65%  of its total assets in equity securities. However, the
Portfolio  may  invest temporarily for defensive purposes, without limitation,
in certain short-term, fixed-income securities. Such securities may be used to
invest  uncommitted  cash  balances  or  to  maintain  liquidity.

GLOBAL  ADVISORS  MONEY  MARKET  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  fundamental  investment  objective  is  to  maximize current
income,  to  the  extent  consistent  with  the  preservation  of  capital and
liquidity, and the maintenance of a stable $1.00 per share net asset value, by
investing  in  dollar-denominated  securities with remaining maturities of one
year  or  less.  The  Portfolio  attempts  to meet its investment objective by
investing  in  high-quality  money  market  instruments. An investment in this
Portfolio  is  neither  insured  nor  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  Government.

SALOMON  BROTHERS  U.S.  GOVERNMENT  SECURITIES  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  fundamental  investment objective is to seek a high level of
current  income.  The  Portfolio  seeks to attain its objective by investing a
substantial  portion  of  its  assets  in debt obligations and mortgage-backed
securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities  and  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  backed  by such
securities.  The  Portfolio  may  also  invest a portion of its assets in U.S.
dollar-denominated  corporate  debt  securities.

VAN  KAMPEN  AMERICAN  CAPITAL  EMERGING  GROWTH  PORTFOLIO

The    Portfolio's   investment  objective  is  to  seek  to  provide  capital
appreciation;  any  ordinary  income  received  from  portfolio  securities is
entirely  incidental.  The  Portfolio will, under normal conditions, invest at
least  65%  of  its  total  assets  in common stocks of small and medium-sized
companies,  both domestic and foreign, in the early stages of their life cycle
that  the Sub-Adviser believes have the potential to become major enterprises.
While  the  Portfolio  will  invest  primarily  in common stocks, to a limited
extent,   it  may  invest  in  other  securities  such  as  preferred  stocks,
convertible securities and warrants. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its
assets  in  securities  of  foreign  issuers.  Investing in foreign securities
generally    involves  risks  not  ordinarily  associated  with  investing  in
securities  of domestic issuers. (See "Appendix - Foreign Investments" and the
SAI  for  a  discussion  of  the  risks  involved  in  foreign  investing.)

The    investment   objectives,  policies  and  restrictions  of  a  Portfolio
specifically cited as fundamental may not be changed without the approval of a
majority  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  that  Portfolio.  Other investment
policies  and  practices  described  in  this  Prospectus  and the SAI are not
fundamental,  and  the  Board  of Trustees may change them without shareholder
approval.   A  complete  list  of  investment  restrictions,  including  those
restrictions   which  cannot  be  changed  without  shareholder  approval,  is
contained  in  the  SAI.  There is no assurance that a Portfolio will meet its
stated  objective.

INVESTMENT  RISKS

The  value  of  a  Portfolio's  shares  will  fluctuate  with the value of the
underlying  securities  in  its portfolio, and in the case of debt securities,
with  the  general  level  of interest rates. When interest rates decline, the
value  of  an  investment portfolio invested in fixed-income securities can be
expected  to  rise.  Conversely,  when  interest  rates  rise, the value of an
investment  portfolio  invested  in fixed-income securities can be expected to
decline.  In the case of foreign currency-denominated securities, these trends
may  be offset or amplified by fluctuations in foreign currencies. Investments
by  a  Portfolio  in  foreign securities may be affected by adverse political,
diplomatic,  and  economic  developments, changes in foreign currency exchange
rates,  taxes  or  other  assessments imposed on distributions with respect to
those  investments, and other factors generally affecting foreign investments.
High-yielding, high-risk, fixed-income securities, which are commonly known as
"junk  bonds,"  are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of
income    and  principal  than  investments  in  lower-yielding,  fixed-income
securities.  The  Emerging  Growth,  Growth Equity and Money Market Portfolios
will not invest in "junk bonds," while each of the other Portfolios may invest
up  to  5%  of its respective total assets in "junk bonds." Certain Portfolios
intend  to  employ, from time to time, certain investment techniques which are
designed to enhance income or total return or hedge against market or currency
risks  but which themselves involve additional risks. These techniques include
options  on  securities,  futures,  options  on  futures,  options on indexes,
options on foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange transactions, lending
of  securities  and  when-issued securities and delayed-delivery transactions.
The  Portfolios  may  have  higher-than-average  portfolio  turnover which may
result  in  higher-than-average  brokerage  commissions and transaction costs.

SALES  AND  REDEMPTIONS

The  Trust sells shares only to the separate accounts of the Life Company as a
funding  vehicle  for  the VA Contracts offered by the Life Company. No fee is
charged  upon  the  sale  or redemption of the Trust's shares. Expenses of the
Trust will be passed through to the separate accounts of the Life Company, and
therefore,  will be ultimately borne by VA Contract owners. In addition, other
fees and expenses will be assessed by the Life Company at the separate account
level.  (See  the Prospectus for the VA Contract for a description of all fees
and  charges  relating  to  the  VA  Contract.)

                 INVESTMENT  OBJECTIVES  AND  POLICIES  OF  THE  PORTFOLIOS

Each Portfolio of the Trust has a different investment objective or objectives
which  it pursues through separate investment policies as described below. The
differences in objectives and policies among the Portfolios can be expected to
affect  the  return  of  each Portfolio and the degree of market and financial
risk  to  which each Portfolio is subject. An investment in a single Portfolio
should  not  be  considered  a  complete  investment  program.  The investment
objective(s)  and  policies  of  each Portfolio, unless otherwise specifically
stated,  are  non-fundamental  and may be changed by the Trustees of the Trust
without  a  vote of the shareholders. There is no assurance that any Portfolio
will  achieve  its objective(s). United States Treasury Regulations applicable
to  portfolios  that  serve  as  the funding vehicles for variable annuity and
variable  life  insurance  contracts  generally  require  that such portfolios
invest no more than 55% of the value of their assets in one investment, 70% in
two  investments,  80%  in three investments, and 90% in four investments. The
Portfolios  intend  to  comply  with  the  requirements  of these Regulations.

In  order to comply with regulations which may be issued by the U.S. Treasury,
the  Trust may be required to limit the availability, or change the investment
policies, of one or more Portfolios, or to take steps to liquidate one or more
Portfolios.  The  Trust will not change any fundamental investment policy of a
Portfolio  without  a  vote  of  shareholders  of  that  Portfolio.

Except  as otherwise noted herein, if the securities rating of a debt security
held  by a Portfolio declines below the minimum rating for securities in which
the Portfolio may invest, the Portfolio will not be required to dispose of the
security,  but  the  Portfolio's  Sub-Adviser  will consider whether continued
investment  in  the  security  is  consistent  with the Portfolio's investment
objective.

In  implementing its investment objectives and policies, each Portfolio uses a
variety  of instruments, strategies and techniques which are described in more
detail  in  the  Appendix  and  the  SAI.  With  respect  to  each Portfolio's
investment  policies,  use  of  the  term  "primarily" means that under normal
circumstances,  at  least  65%  of such Portfolio's assets will be invested as
indicated.  A  description  of  the  ratings  systems  used  by  the following
nationally  recognized  statistical  rating  organizations  ("NRSROs") is also
contained  in the SAI: Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard &
Poor's  Corporation  ("S&P"),  Duff  &  Phelps, Inc. ("Duff"), Fitch Investors
Service,  Inc.  ("Fitch"), Thomson Bankwatch, Inc., IBCA Limited and IBCA Inc.
New  instruments, strategies and techniques, however, are evolving continually
and  the Trust reserves authority to invest in or implement them to the extent
consistent  with  its  investment objectives and policies. If new instruments,
strategies  or  techniques  would involve a material change to the information
contained  herein,  they  will  not  be  purchased  or  implemented until this
Prospectus  is  appropriately  supplemented.

BEA  GROWTH  AND  INCOME  PORTFOLIO

INVESTMENT  OBJECTIVE

The  Portfolio's  goal  is  to  provide  long-term  capital  growth,  current
income  and growth of income, consistent with reasonable investment risk. This
investment  objective  is  fundamental  and  may  not  be  changed without the
affirmative  vote  of  a  majority  of  the Portfolio's outstanding shares (as
defined  in  the  Investment  Company  Act  of  1940, as amended ("1940 Act").

MANAGEMENT  POLICIES

The Portfolio will invest primarily in domestic equity and debt securities and
cash equivalent instruments.  The  Portfolio  may also invest in securities of
foreign  issuers.  The  proportion of the Portfolio's assets to be invested in
each type of security will vary from time  to time in accordance with the Sub-
Adviser's  assessment  of  economic  conditions  and investment opportunities.
The asset allocation strategy is based on the premise that, from time to time,
certain  asset  classes are more attractive long-term investments than others.
Timely shifts among equity securities, debt securities,  and  cash  equivalent
instruments,  as  determined  by  their  relative  over-valuation  or
under-valuation,
should produce superior investment returns over the  long  term.  In  general,
the  Portfolio  will  not  attempt  to predict short-term  market movements or
interest rate changes, focusing instead upon a longer-term outlook.  The  Sub-
Adviser  anticipates  that  under normal market conditions,  between  35%  and
65% of the  Portfolio's total assets will be invested  in  equity  securities,
and  between  35%  and  65%  will  be  invested  in  debt  securities.

In  selecting  equity securities in which to invest, the Sub-Adviser generally
employs  a  value-oriented  approach  that combines "top-down" and "bottom-up"
elements.  The  process begins with a top-down thematic approach, by which the
Sub-Adviser  attempts  to  identify  the three or four macroeconomic variables
most  likely  to  drive  equity  returns  in the medium term, and the sectors,
industries  and  stocks most likely to benefit as those themes are played out.
This is combined with a bottom-up approach to stock selection which identifies
value  through  the  application  of  "cash on cash analysis." The Sub-Adviser
looks  at  the  free cash flow produced by a company within the context of the
total  cash  value  of  the enterprise. This ratio of cash flow to "enterprise
value"  permits  a  comparative  analysis  of  companies across industries and
sectors,  and provides a tool with which to analyze the quality and priorities
of  the  company's  management.  The  Portfolio's  approach  is based upon the
observation  that  a  company focusing upon cash flow will generally be one in
which  management's  overarching  concern  is  the maximization of shareholder
value.  Equity  securities  may  include  common stocks, preferred stocks, and
securities  which  are  convertible  into  common stock and readily marketable
securities,  such as rights and warrants, which derive their value from common
stock.

In  selecting  debt  securities  in which to invest, the Sub-Adviser generally
employs    an    approach   that  focuses  upon  the  exploitation  of  market
inefficiencies,  which  exist  primarily  due  to  the differing objectives of
various  investors and to the varying restrictions that limit their investment
choices.  In  determining  whether the Portfolio should invest in a particular
debt  security,  the  Sub-Adviser  reviews  the  terms  of  the instrument and
evaluates  the  creditworthiness  of the issuer of the instrument, considering
short-term    debt,   leverage,  capitalization,  the  quality  and  depth  of
management,  profitability, return on assets, and economic factors relative to
the issuer's industry or market sector. The Sub-Adviser then performs relative
valuation  analysis, comparing the value in sectors and securities with regard
to  price  as  well  as  yield. The Sub-Adviser generally does not rely on its
ability  to  correctly  predict  movements in the direction of interest rates.
Debt  securities  may  include  bonds,  debentures, notes, equipment lease and
trust  certificates,  mortgage-related  securities,  and obligations issued or
guaranteed  by  the  U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The
Sub-Adviser's  Fixed-Income  Management  Team  will  manage  the  Fixed-Income
portion of the Portfolio, which will invest primarily in domestic fixed-income
securities  consistent with comparable broad market fixed-income indexes, such
as  the  Lehman  Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The Sub-Adviser estimates that
the  average  weighted  maturity  of the debt securities held by the Portfolio
will   range  between  5  and  15  years.  Depending  upon  prevailing  market
conditions, the Portfolio may purchase debt securities at a discount from face
value,  which  produces  a  yield greater than the coupon rate. Conversely, if
debt  securities are purchased at a premium over face value, the yield will be
lower  than  the  coupon  rate.  An  increase in interest rates will generally
reduce  the  value  of  the  fixed-income  investments  in the Portfolio and a
decline  in  interest  rates  will  generally  increase  the  value  of  those
investments.

The  cash  equivalent instruments in which the Portfolio may invest consist of
U.S.  Government  securities, certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers'
acceptances,  short-term  investment-grade corporate bonds and short-term debt
instruments, and repurchase agreements. While the Portfolio does not intend to
limit the amount of its assets invested in cash equivalent instruments, except
to  the extent believed necessary to achieve its investment objective, it does
not expect under normal market conditions to have a substantial portion of its
assets  invested  in  money  market instruments. However, when the Sub-Adviser
determines  that  adverse  market  conditions exist, the Portfolio may adopt a
temporary defensive posture and invest its entire portfolio in cash equivalent
instruments.  In  addition,  the  Portfolio  may  invest  in  cash  equivalent
instruments  in  anticipation  of  investing cash positions. To the extent the
Portfolio  is  so  invested,  the  Portfolio's investment objective may not be
achieved.  See  the  Appendix  and the SAI for a discussion of these and other
investment  policies  and  strategies  with  respect  to  this  Portfolio.
High rates of portfolio turnover necessarily result in correspondingly greater
brokerage  and  portfolio trading costs, which are paid by the Portfolio.  The
portfolio  turnover  rate  for the Portfolio for the period ended December 31,
1996  was  217%.    (See  "Portfolio  Turnover"  in  the  SAI.)

BLACKROCK  MANAGED  BOND  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  investment  objective  is  to  provide  a  high total return
consistent  with  moderate  risk of capital and maintenance of liquidity. This
investment  objective  is  fundamental  and  may  not  be  changed without the
affirmative  vote  of  a  majority  of  the Portfolio's outstanding shares (as
defined  in  the 1940 Act). Total return will consist of income, plus realized
and  unrealized  capital gains and losses. Although the net asset value of the
Portfolio  will fluctuate, the Portfolio attempts to preserve the value of its
investments to the extent consistent with its objective. Portfolio is designed
for  investors  who  seek  a total return over time that is higher  than  that
generally  available  from  a  portfolio  of  shorter-term  obligations  while
recognizing the greater price fluctuation of longer-term instruments.  It  may
also be a convenient way to add fixed-income exposure to diversify an existing
portfolio.

The  Sub-Adviser  actively manages the Portfolio's duration, the allocation of
securities  across  market  sectors,  and the selection of specific securities
within sectors. The Sub-Adviser also actively allocates the Portfolio's assets
among  the broad sectors of the fixed-income market, including but not limited
to,  U.S.  Government  and  agency  securities,  corporate securities, private
placements,   and  asset-backed  and  mortgage-related  securities,  including
residential  and  commercial  mortgage-backed  securities. Specific securities
which  the  Sub-Adviser  believes  are  undervalued  are selected for purchase
within the sectors using advanced quantitative tools, analysis of credit risk,
the  expertise  of  a dedicated trading desk, and the judgment of fixed-income
portfolio  managers  and analysts. Under normal circumstances, the Sub-Adviser
intends  to keep the Portfolio essentially fully invested with at least 65% of
the  Portfolio's  assets  invested  in  bonds.

Duration  is  a  measure of the weighted average maturity of the bonds held in
the  Portfolio  and  can  be  used  as  a  measure  of  the sensitivity of the
Portfolio's  market  value  to  changes in interest rates. Under normal market
conditions,  the  Portfolio's duration will range between one year shorter and
one  year  longer than the duration of the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-income
universe,  as  represented  by  Salomon  Brothers  Broad Investment Grade Bond
Index,  the  Portfolio's  benchmark.  Currently,  the  benchmark's duration is
approximately  3.5  years.  The maturities of the individual securities in the
Portfolio  may  vary  widely,  however.

The  Sub-Adviser  intends  to  manage its portfolio actively in pursuit of its
investment  objective.  Portfolio  transactions  are undertaken principally to
accomplish  the Portfolio's objective in relation to expected movements in the
general  level  of  interest  rates,  but  the  Portfolio  may  also engage in
short-term  trading consistent with its objective. To the extent the Portfolio
engages  in  short-term  trading,  it  may  incur increased transaction costs.

High rates of portfolio turnover necessarily result in correspondingly greater
brokerage  and  portfolio trading costs, which are paid by the Portfolio.  The
portfolio  turnover  rate  for the Portfolio for the period ended December 31,
1996  was  48%.    (See  "Portfolio  Turnover"  in  the  SAI.)

     CORPORATE  BONDS,  ETC. The Portfolio may invest in a broad range of debt
securities  of  domestic and foreign issuers. These include debt securities of
various  types  and  maturities, e.g., debentures, notes, mortgage securities,
equipment  trust  certificates  and  other  collateralized securities and zero
coupon  securities.  Collateralized  securities are backed by a pool of assets
such  as  loans  or receivables which generate cash flow to cover the payments
due on the securities. Collateralized securities are subject to certain risks,
including  a  decline  in  the  value  of the collateral backing the security,
failure of the collateral to generate the anticipated cash flow, or in certain
cases,  more rapid prepayment because of events affecting the collateral, such
as accelerated prepayment of mortgages or other loans backing these securities
or  destruction  of  equipment subject to equipment trust certificates. In the
event  of  any such prepayment, the Portfolio will be required to reinvest the
proceeds   of  prepayments  at  interest  rates  prevailing  at  the  time  of
reinvestment,  which  may  be  lower.  In  addition,  the value of zero coupon
securities    that  do  not  pay  interest  is  more  volatile  than  that  of
interest-bearing  debt  securities  with the same maturity. The Portfolio does
not  intend  to  invest  in common stock but may invest to a limited extent in
convertible  debt  or preferred stock. The Portfolio does not expect to invest
more than 25% of its assets in securities of foreign issuers. If the Portfolio
invests  in  non-U.S.  dollar-denominated  securities,  it  hedges the foreign
currency  exposure  into  the  U.S.  dollar.  See the Appendix and the SAI for
further   information  on  foreign  investments  and  convertible  securities,
including  a  discussion  of  risks.

     GOVERNMENT    OBLIGATIONS,   ETC. The Portfolio may invest in obligations
issued  or  guaranteed by the U.S. Government and backed by the full faith and
credit  of  the  United  States. These securities include Treasury securities,
obligations    of    the   Government  National  Mortgage  Association  ("GNMA
Certificates"),  the  Farmers  Home Administration and the Export Import Bank.
GNMA  Certificates  are mortgage-backed securities which evidence an undivided
interest  in  mortgage  pools.  These  securities  are  subject  to more rapid
repayment  than  their  stated  maturity would indicate because prepayments of
principal  on  mortgages  in  the pool are passed through to the holder of the
securities.  During  periods  of  declining  interest  rates,  prepayments  of
mortgages  in  the pool can be expected to increase. The pass-through of these
prepayments  would  have  the  effect of reducing the Portfolio's positions in
these  securities  and  requiring the Portfolio to reinvest the prepayments at
interest  rates prevailing at the time of reinvestment. The Portfolio may also
invest  in  obligations  issued  or  guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or
instrumentalities  where the Portfolio must look principally to the issuing or
guaranteeing  agency  for  ultimate  repayment;  some  examples of agencies or
instrumentalities  issuing  these  obligations  are  the  Federal  Farm Credit
System, the Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA")  and  the  Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). Although
these  governmental issuers are responsible for payments on their obligations,
they  do  not  guarantee  their  market  value.

The  Portfolio  may  invest  in  debt  securities  of  foreign governments and
governmental  entities. International investing may involve greater risks than
U.S.  investments.  (See  "Appendix  -- Foreign Investments" and the SAI for a
discussion  of  the  risks  involved  in  foreign  investing.)

     MONEY    MARKET    INSTRUMENTS.   The Portfolio may purchase money market
instruments to invest temporary cash balances or to maintain liquidity to meet
withdrawals.  However,  the  Portfolio may also invest up to 100% of its total
assets  in  money  market  instruments  as a temporary defensive measure taken
during,  or  in anticipation of, adverse market conditions. To the extent that
the  Portfolio  is invested in temporary defensive instruments, it will not be
pursuing  its investment objective. The money market investments permitted for
the  Portfolio include obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies and
instrumentalities,  other  debt securities, commercial paper, bank obligations
and  repurchase  agreements.  For  more detailed information about these money
market  investments,  see  Investment  Objectives  and  Policies  in  the SAI.

     QUALITY  INFORMATION.  It is a current policy of the Portfolio that under
normal  circumstances  at  least  65%  of  its  total  assets  will consist of
securities  that are rated at least "A" by Moody's or S&P or that are unrated,
and  in  the  Sub-Adviser's opinion, are of comparable quality. In the case of
30% of the Portfolio's investments, the Portfolio may purchase debt securities
that  are  rated  Baa  or  better  by  Moody's  or BBB or better by S&P or are
unrated,  and  in  the  Sub-Adviser's  opinion, are of comparable quality. The
remaining 5% of the Portfolio's assets may be invested in debt securities that
are  rated  Ba or better by Moody's or BB or better by S&P or are unrated, and
in  the Sub-Adviser's opinion, are of comparable quality. Securities rated Baa
by  Moody's  or  BBB  by  S&P, although considered investment-grade, have some
speculative characteristics and such bonds, along with bonds rated below these
ratings,  are  commonly  referred  to as "junk bonds." "Investment-grade" debt
securities  are  those receiving one of the four highest ratings from Moody's,
S&P  or  another  NRSRO  or, if unrated by any NRSRO, deemed comparable by the
Sub-Adviser to such rated securities under guidelines established by the Board
of  Trustees of the Trust. Bonds in the lowest rating categories may involve a
substantial  risk  of  default  or  may  be  in  default.  Changes in economic
conditions,  or  developments regarding the individual issuer, are more likely
to  cause  price  volatility  and  weaken  the capacity of the issuers of such
securities  to  make  principal  and  interest  payments  than is the case for
higher-grade  debt  securities.  An economic downturn affecting the issuer may
result  in  an  increased  incidence  of  default.  The market for lower-rated
securities  may  be  thinner and less active than for higher-rated securities.
The Sub-Adviser will invest in such securities only when it concludes that the
anticipated return to the Portfolio on such an investment warrants exposure to
the  additional  level of risk. Rating standards must be satisfied at the time
an  investment  is  made. If the quality of the investment later declines, the
Portfolio  may  continue to hold the investment. See the SAI for more detailed
information  on  these  ratings.

The    Portfolio    may    also  purchase  obligations  on  a  when-issued  or
delayed-delivery    basis,   enter  into  repurchase  and  reverse  repurchase
agreements,  loan  its portfolio securities, purchase certain privately-placed
securities  and  enter  into  certain  hedging  transactions  that may involve
options on securities and securities indexes, futures contracts and options on
futures  contracts.  For  a  discussion  of  these  investments and investment
techniques,  see  the  Appendix  and  the  SAI.

CREDIT  SUISSE  INTERNATIONAL  EQUITY  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. This
investment  objective  is  fundamental  and  may  not  be  changed without the
affirmative  vote  of  a  majority  of  the Portfolio's outstanding shares (as
defined  in  the  1940  Act). The Portfolio will seek to achieve its objective
primarily  by  investing  in equity and equity-related securities of companies
from  at  least  five  different  countries,  excluding  the  United  States.

The  Portfolio  is intended for investors who can accept the risks involved in
investments  in  equity  and equity-related securities of non-U.S. issuers, as
well as in foreign currencies and in the active management techniques that the
Portfolio  generally  employs.

Under  normal  conditions, the Portfolio will invest at least 65% of its total
assets  in equity securities of issuers whose principal places of business (as
determined by the location of the issuer's principal headquarters) are located
in  countries  other  than  the  United  States.

     FOREIGN  EQUITY  SECURITIES

     The  Portfolio  will invest, under normal conditions, at least 65% of its
total  assets  in  issuers  located  in  at  least  five  different countries,
excluding  the United States. The Sub-Adviser expects that the majority of the
Portfolio's  investments  will  be in issuers in the following markets: United
States,  Canada,  Japan,  the  United  Kingdom, Germany, France, Malaysia, the
Netherlands,  Italy,  Singapore,  Switzerland,  Spain,  Mexico, Australia, New
Zealand,  Hong  Kong  and  Sweden.  However, the Portfolio will also invest in
other European, Pacific Rim, African and Latin American markets. As market and
global  conditions change, the Portfolio will change its allocations among the
countries  of  the world and nothing herein will limit the Portfolio's ability
to  invest  in or avoid any particular countries or regions. The Portfolio may
also  invest  in  the  securities of issuers traded on quoted markets of other
countries.

The equity and equity-related securities in which the Portfolio will primarily
invest  are  common  stock,  preferred  stock,  convertible  debt obligations,
convertible  preferred  stock  and  warrants, or other rights to acquire stock
that  the  Sub-Adviser  believes  offer  the  potential  for long-term capital
appreciation.  The  Portfolio also may invest in securities of foreign issuers
in  the  form  of  sponsored  and unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, EDRs, IDRs, or other
similar  instruments  representing  securities  of  foreign  issuers.  See the
Appendix  and  the  SAI  for  a  description  of  these  investments.

While  the  investment policy of the Portfolio is to be diversified as to both
countries and individual issuers, the Sub-Adviser selects individual countries
and  securities on the basis of several factors. In allocating the Portfolio's
assets  among various countries, the Sub-Adviser will seek economic and market
environments    favorable  for  capital  appreciation  and,  with  respect  to
developing  countries,  those  with  economic,  political,  and  stock  market
environments  with  prospects  of  stabilizing  or  improving.

In analyzing foreign companies for investment, the Sub-Adviser will ordinarily
look  for  one  or  more  of  the following characteristics in relation to the
prevailing   prices  of  the  securities  of  such  companies:  prospects  for
above-average  earnings  growth  per  share;  high return on invested capital;
sound  balance sheet, financial and accounting policies, and overall financial
strength;    strong    competitive  advantages;  effective  research,  product
development,  and  marketing; efficient service; pricing flexibility; strength
of  management;  and  general  operating  characteristics that will enable the
companies  to  compete  successfully  in  their  respective  marketplaces. The
Sub-Adviser  will  aim  to  invest in companies which have growth prospects or
whose  value  it  believes  is  not  fully  reflected in the relevant markets.

     TEMPORARY  INVESTMENTS

     The Portfolio may, when the Sub-Adviser determines that market conditions
warrant,  adopt a temporary defensive position and may hold cash (U.S. dollars
or foreign currencies) and may invest up to 100% of its assets in money market
instruments  or  debt securities of U.S. or foreign issuers. The Portfolio may
also  invest  cash held to meet redemption requests and expenses in such money
market  instruments and debt securities. For these purposes, such money market
instruments are: banker's acceptances, certificates of deposit, time deposits,
commercial  paper,  short-term  government and corporate-obligations. The debt
securities  of  U.S.  issuers  or foreign entities in which the Portfolio will
invest  primarily  will  be  investment-grade  debt securities except that the
Portfolio may invest up to 5% of its total assets in non-investment-grade debt
securities. Investment-grade debt securities include (i) bonds rated in one of
the  four highest rating categories by any NRSRO (e.g., BBB or higher by S&P);
(ii)U.S. Government securities; (iii) commercial paper rated in one of the two
highest rating categories of any NRSRO (e.g., A-2 or higher by S&P); (iv) bank
obligations (certificates of deposit, banker's acceptances, and time deposits)
with  a  long-term  rating  in one of the four highest categories by any NRSRO
(e.g.,  BBB  or  higher by S&P), with respect to bank obligations of more than
one year, or in one of the three highest categories by any NRSRO (e.g., A-3 or
higher by S&P), with respect to bank obligations maturing in one year or less;
(v)  repurchase  agreements  involving  these securities; or (vi) unrated debt
securities  which  are  deemed by the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable quality.
All  ratings are determined at the time of investment. Securities rated in the
fourth    highest    category,   although  considered  investment-grade,  have
speculative  characteristics  and  may  be  subject to greater fluctuations in
value  than  higher-rated  securities.  Non-investment-grade  debt  securities
include  (i)  securities  rated as low as C by S&P or their equivalents, which
are  commonly known as "junk bonds"; (ii) commercial paper rated as low as A-3
by  S&P  or their equivalents; and (iii) unrated debt securities determined to
be  of  comparable  quality  by the Sub-Adviser. (See "Appendix -- Lower-Rated
Securities" and the SAI for a discussion of the risks involved in investing in
non-investment-grade  securities.)  U.S.  Government securities are securities
issued    or    guaranteed    by  the  U.S.  Government  or  its  agencies  or
instrumentalities.

The  Portfolio  may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements  to  earn a return on
temporarily  available  cash.  The  Portfolio  will  not  invest in repurchase
agreements  maturing  in more than seven days if any such investment, together
with  any  other illiquid securities held by the Portfolio, exceeds 10% of the
value  of  the  Portfolio's  net assets. The Portfolio may also lend portfolio
securities   to  unaffiliated  brokers,  dealers  and  financial  institutions
provided that (a) immediately after any such loan, the value of the securities
loaned  does  not exceed 15% of the total value of the Portfolio's assets, and
(b)  any  securities  loan  is  collateralized  in  accordance with applicable
regulatory  requirements.    The Portfolio may invest in restricted securities
and  other  illiquid  assets.  See  the  Appendix  and  the  SAI  for  further
information  relating  to  restricted  and  illiquid  securities.

The  Portfolio  may  purchase  and  sell foreign currencies on a spot basis in
connection  with  the  settlement of transactions in securities traded in such
foreign  currencies.  The  Portfolio  may  enter into forward foreign currency
contracts  and  foreign  currency  futures  and option contracts primarily for
hedging  purposes.  This  includes  entering  into  forward  foreign  currency
contracts    and   foreign  currency  futures  contracts  in  anticipation  of
investments in companies whose securities are denominated in those currencies.

International  investing,  in  general,  may  involve  greater risks than U.S.
investments.  These  risks  may  be  intensified in the case of investments in
emerging markets or countries with limited or developing capital markets. (See
"Appendix  --  Foreign  Investments" and the SAI for a discussion of the risks
involved  in  foreign  investing.)

ELITEVALUE  ASSET  ALLOCATION  PORTFOLIO

The investment objective of the Portfolio is to achieve growth of capital over
time  through investment in a portfolio consisting of common stocks, bonds and
cash equivalents, the percentage of which will vary based on the Sub-Adviser's
assessments  of  the  relative  outlook  for such investments. This investment
objective  is  fundamental and may not be changed without the affirmative vote
of  a  majority  of the Portfolio's outstanding shares (as defined in the 1940
Act).  In  seeking  to  achieve  its investment objective, the types of equity
securities in which the Portfolio may invest are likely to be primarily equity
securities of companies that are believed by the Sub-Adviser to be undervalued
in  the  marketplace  in  relation to factors such as the companies' assets or
earnings.  It  is  the  Sub-Adviser's  intention  to  invest  in securities of
companies  which  in  the  Sub-Adviser's  opinion  possess  one or more of the
following characteristics: undervalued assets, valuable consumer or commercial
franchises, securities valuation below peer companies, substantial and growing
cash flow and/or a favorable price to book value relationship. Investments for
the  equity  portion  of  the  Portfolio  will  primarily  consist  of  equity
securities,  such  as common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities,
rights  and  warrants  in  proportions  which will vary from time to time. The
equity portion of the Portfolio will be invested primarily in stocks listed on
the  New  York  Stock  Exchange.  In addition, the Portfolio may also purchase
securities listed on other domestic securities exchanges, securities traded in
the  domestic  over-the-counter  market  and foreign securities, provided that
they are listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange or represented by
American  depository  receipts  listed  on  a  domestic securities exchange or
traded  in  domestic  or  foreign  over-the-counter  markets.

To  a  lesser  extent, the equity portion of the Portfolio will be invested in
equity  securities  of  companies  with market capitalizations of less than $1
billion.  Smaller-capitalization  companies  are  often  under-priced  for the
following  reasons:  (i)  institutional investors, which currently represent a
majority of the trading volume in the shares of publicly-traded companies, are
often less interested in such companies, because in order to acquire an equity
position  that  is large enough to be meaningful to an institutional investor,
such  an  investor  may be required to buy a large percentage of the company's
outstanding  equity  securities,  and (ii) such companies may not be regularly
researched  by  stock  analysts, thereby resulting in greater discrepancies in
valuation.  The  Portfolio  may  also  purchase  securities  in initial public
offerings,  or  shortly  after  such  offerings  have been completed, when the
Sub-Adviser  believes  that  such  securities have greater-than-average market
appreciation  potential.  Debt  securities  invested  in  by the Portfolio are
expected  to  be predominantly investment-grade intermediate to long-term U.S.
Government  and  corporate  debt,  although  the Portfolio will also invest in
high-quality,  short-term  money market and cash equivalent securities and may
invest  almost all of its assets in such securities when the Sub-Adviser deems
it  advisable  in  order  to  preserve  capital.

The  allocation  of  the  Portfolio's  assets  among  the  different  types of
permitted investments will vary from time to time based upon the Sub-Adviser's
evaluation  of  economic  and market trends and its perception of the relative
values  available  from  such  types of securities at any given time. There is
neither a minimum nor a maximum percentage of the Portfolio's assets that may,
at  any  given time, be invested in any of the types of investments identified
above.  Consequently, while the Portfolio will earn income to the extent it is
invested  in  bonds  or  cash  equivalents,  the  Portfolio  does not have any
specific  income  objective.

The  Portfolio may dispose of investments (including money market instruments)
regardless  of  the  holding  period if, in the opinion of the Sub-Adviser, an
issuer's creditworthiness or perceived changes in a company's growth prospects
or  asset  value  make selling them advisable. Such an investment decision may
result  in  capital  gains  or  losses  and  could  result in a high portfolio
turnover  rate during a given period, resulting in increased transaction costs
related    to  equity  securities.  Disposing  of  debt  securities  in  these
circumstances  should  not  increase  direct  transaction  costs,  since  debt
securities  are  normally  traded  on  a  principal  basis  without  brokerage
commissions.  However,  such transactions do involve a mark-up or mark-down of
the  price.

It  is  anticipated  that  the  Portfolio  will  have  an annual turnover rate
(excluding  turnover  of  securities having a maturity of one year or less) of
100% or less. A 100% annual turnover rate would occur, for example, if all the
securities  in  the  Portfolio's  investment portfolio were replaced once in a
period  of  one  year.

An  investment  in  the  Portfolio  will  entail  both  market  and
financial  risk,  the extent of which depends on the amount of the Portfolio's
assets  which  are  committed  to  equity,  longer-term  debt  or money market
securities    at   any  particular  time.  As  the  Portfolio  may  invest  in
mortgage-backed    securities,    such  securities,  while  similar  to  other
fixed-income  securities,  involve  the  additional risk of prepayment because
mortgage  prepayments  are passed through to the holder of the mortgage-backed
security  and must be reinvested. Prepayments of mortgage principal reduce the
stream  of  future  payments  and generate cash which must be reinvested. When
interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. As such, the Portfolio may have
to  reinvest  that  portion  of  its  assets  invested in such securities more
frequently  when  interest  rates  are  low than when interest rates are high.

There  is  no limit to the amount of foreign securities that the Portfolio may
acquire.  Certain  factors  and  risks  are presented by investment in foreign
securities  which  are  in  addition  to  the usual risks inherent in domestic
securities. (See "Appendix - Foreign Investments" and the SAI for a discussion
of  the  risks  involved  in  foreign  investing.)

It  is  the  present intention of the Sub-Adviser to invest no more than 5% of
the  Portfolio's net assets in bonds rated below Baa3 by Moody's or BBB by S&P
(commonly known as "junk bonds"). In the event that the Sub-Adviser intends in
the future to invest more than 5% of the Portfolio's net assets in junk bonds,
appropriate disclosures will be made to existing and prospective shareholders.
For  information  about  the  possible  risks  of investing in junk bonds, see
"Appendix  -  Lower-Rated  Investments"  and  the  SAI.

The  Portfolio  may  also  engage  in  repurchase  agreements,  lend portfolio
securities  (up  to  10%  of the value of the Portfolio's total assets), enter
into  forward  foreign  currency contracts and invest in modified pass-through
certificates.  These  investments  and  transactions  are described in greater
detail  in  the  Appendix  and  the  SAI.

GLOBAL  ADVISORS  GROWTH  EQUITY  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  investment objective is to provide total returns that exceed
over  time  the  S&P  500  Index through investment in equity securities. This
objective  may  be  changed  only  with  the  approval  of  a  majority of the
Portfolio's  shareholders  as  defined  by  the  1940  Act.

Equity  securities  will  be  selected  by  the  Portfolio  on  the basis of a
proprietary  analytical model of the Sub-Adviser. Each security will be ranked
according to two separate and uncorrelated measures: value and the momentum of
Wall  Street  sentiment.  The  value  measure  compares  a  company's  assets,
projected earnings growth and cash flow growth with its stock price within the
context  of  its  historical  valuation.  The measure of Wall Street sentiment
examines  changes in Wall Street analysts' earnings estimates and ranks stocks
by  the  strength  and  consistency  of  those changes. These two measures are
combined  to  create  a single composite score of each stock's attractiveness.
These  scores  are  then  plotted  on  a  matrix  according  to their relative
attractiveness.  Sector  weights  are maintained at a similar level to that of
the  S&P  500  Index  to  avoid  unintended  exposure  to  factors such as the
direction    of    the    economy,    interest    rates,   energy  prices  and
inflation.    Portfolio    will   invest  at  least 65% of its total assets in
equity
securities.  However,  the  Portfolio  may  invest  temporarily  for defensive
purposes,    without    limitation,    in  certain  high-quality,  short-term,
fixed-income  securities.  Such  securities  may be used to invest uncommitted
cash  balances or to maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions. These
securities  include  obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  as  to principal and
interest  by  the  U.S.  Government,  its  agencies  and instrumentalities and
repurchase  agreements  collateralized by these obligations, commercial paper,
bank  certificates  of  deposit,  bankers'  acceptances  and  time  deposits.

The  Portfolio  may  invest  in U.S. Government securities, which include U.S.
Treasury  bills, notes and bonds and other obligations issued or guaranteed as
to    interest  and  principal  by  the  U.S.  Government,  its  agencies  and
instrumentalities.  Obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  as  to  interest  and
principal  by  the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities include
securities  that  are  supported  by  the  full faith and credit of the United
States  Treasury,  securities that are supported by the right of the issuer to
borrow  from  the  United States Treasury, discretionary authority of the U.S.
Government  agency  or instrumentality, and securities supported solely by the
creditworthiness  of  the  issuer.

The  Portfolio  may  enter  into  or  invest in repurchase agreements, reverse
repurchase  agreements,  forward  commitments, when-issued transactions (up to
25%  of  the  Portfolio's  net  assets), illiquid securities (up to 15% of the
Portfolio'  s net assets), restricted securities (up to 10% of the Portfolio's
net  assets)  and  variable amount master demand notes. The Portfolio also may
enter into futures contracts, options on futures, covered put and call options
on securities in which it may directly invest, and purchase or sell options on
securities indexes that are comprised of securities in which the Portfolio may
directly  invest.  The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities with a value of
up  to  33  1/3%  of  the  Portfolio's  total  assets.

   In  addition  to the policies noted above, the Portfolio may also invest in
obligations  of  foreign  issuers  which  are  U.S.  dollar-denominated, ADRs,
corporate  bonds,  debentures,  notes  and  warrants.  During the coming year,
investment  in each of these instruments will not exceed 5% of the Portfolio's
total  net  assets.

These  investments  and  transactions  are  described in greater detail in the
Appendix  and  the  SAI.

GLOBAL  ADVISORS  MONEY  MARKET  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio's  investment  objective  is to maximize current income, to the
extent  consistent  with  the  preservation  of  capital and liquidity and the
maintenance  of  a  stable  $1.00  per  share net asset value, by investing in
dollar-denominated  securities  with remaining maturities of one year or less.
This  investment  objective  is fundamental and may not be changed without the
affirmative  vote  of  a  majority  of  the Portfolio's outstanding shares (as
defined  in  the  1940  Act).

The  Portfolio  attempts  to  meet  its  investment  objective by investing in
high-quality  money  market  instruments.  Such  instruments include: (1) U.S.
Treasury bills, notes and bonds; (2) other obligations issued or guaranteed as
to    interest  and  principal  by  the  U.S.  Government,  its  agencies  and
instrumentalities;  (3)  instruments  of  U.S.  and  foreign  banks, including
certificates  of  deposit,  banker's  acceptances  and  time  deposits;  these
instruments    may   include  Eurodollar  Certificates  of  Deposit  ("ECDs"),
Eurodollar Time Deposits ("ETDs") and Yankee Certificates of Deposit ("YCDs");
(4)   commercial  paper  of  U.S.  and  foreign  companies;  (5)  asset-backed
securities;  (6)  corporate  obligations;  (7)  variable  amount master demand
notes;  and  (8)  repurchase  agreements.

The  Portfolio  will  limit  its  portfolio  investments,  including  puts and
repurchase  agreements,  if  any,  to  those  United States dollar-denominated
instruments  which  at  the  time  of  acquisition  the Sub-Adviser determines
present minimal credit risk and which are: (a) rated as a First Tier or Second
Tier  security (as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act) by any two NRSROs;
(b)  long-term  securities  with  a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and
which  have  been  assigned  a  short-term  rating  in  the two highest rating
categories  by  any  two  NRSROs  or  whose  issuer has outstanding short-term
obligations  of  comparable  priority  and security which are rated in the two
highest  short-term  rating categories by any two NRSROs; (c) if rated by only
one  NRSRO, rated by the NRSRO as a First Tier or Second Tier security; or (d)
if  unrated,  determined by the Sub-Adviser to be of a quality comparable to a
First  or  Second  Tier  security.

The  Portfolio  may  invest  in  U.S. Government securities which include U.S.
Treasury  bills, notes and bonds and other obligations issued or guaranteed as
to    interest  and  principal  by  the  U.S.  Government,  its  agencies  and
instrumentalities.  Obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  as  to  interest  and
principal  by  the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities include
securities  that  are  supported  by  the  full faith and credit of the United
States  Treasury,  securities that are supported by the right of the issuer to
borrow  from  the  United States Treasury, discretionary authority of the U.S.
Government  agency  or instrumentality, and securities supported solely by the
creditworthiness  of  the  issuer.

The  Portfolio  may  enter  into  or  invest in repurchase agreements, reverse
repurchase  agreements,  forward  commitments, when-issued transactions (up to
25%  of  the  Portfolio's  net  assets), illiquid securities (up to 10% of the
Portfolio's  net  assets), restricted securities (up to 10% of the Portfolio's
net  assets)  and  variable  amount  master  demand  notes.

The Portfolio may also purchase asset-backed securities representing undivided
fractional  interests  in  pools  of  instruments, such as consumer loans. The
Portfolio  may  invest  in mortgage-related pass-through securities, including
GNMA  Certificates  ("Ginnie Maes"), FHLMC Mortgage Participation Certificates
("Freddie  Macs")  and  FNMA  Guaranteed  Mortgage  Pass-Through  Certificates
("Fannie   Maes").  Mortgage  pass-through  certificates  are  mortgage-backed
securities    representing    undivided   fractional  interests  in  pools  of
mortgage-backed  loans.  These  loans are made by mortgage bankers, commercial
banks,  savings  and  loan  associations  and  other  lenders. Ginnie Maes are
guaranteed  by  the  full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, but Freddie
Macs  and  Fannie  Maes  are  not.

The  Portfolio  may invest in zero coupon securities and variable and floating
rate  securities. As stated above, the Portfolio may invest in ECDs, ETDs, and
YCDs.  ECDs  are  U.S.  dollar-denominated  certificates  of deposit issued by
foreign  branches of domestic banks. ETDs are U.S. dollar-denominated deposits
in   foreign  branches  of  U.S.  banks  and  foreign  banks.  YCDs  are  U.S.
dollar-denominated  certificates of deposit issued by U.S. branches of foreign
banks.

The  Portfolio  may lend portfolio securities with a value of up to 33 1/3% of
its  total  assets.

These  investments  and  transactions  are  described in greater detail in the
Appendix  and  the  SAI.

The  Portfolio  must limit investments to securities with remaining maturities
of 397 days or less and must maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90
days  or  less.  The  Portfolio normally holds instruments to maturity but may
dispose  of them prior to maturity if the Sub-Adviser finds it advantageous to
do  so.

SALOMON  BROTHERS  U.S.  GOVERNMENT  SECURITIES  PORTFOLIO

The  investment  objective of the Portfolio is to seek a high level of current
income.  This  investment  objective  is  fundamental  and  may not be changed
without  the  affirmative  vote  of  a majority of the Portfolio's outstanding
shares  (as  defined  in  the  1940  Act). The Sub-Adviser seeks to attain the
Portfolio's objective by investing a substantial portion of its assets in debt
obligations  and  mortgage-backed  securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government  and its agencies or instrumentalities, and collateralized mortgage
obligations  backed  by  such  securities.

At  least  80%  of  the  total  assets  of  the Portfolio will be invested in:

     (1)    U.S.  Treasury  obligations;

     (2)  Obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of
the U.S. Government which are backed by their own credit and may not be backed
by  the  full  faith  and  credit  of  the  U.S.  Government;

        (3)   Mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the Government National
Mortgage  Association  ("GNMA"),  popularly  known  as "Ginnie Maes," that are
supported    by  the  full  faith  and  credit  of  the  U.S.  Government  and
mortgage-backed  securities guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the
U.S.  Government,  which  are  supported  by their own credit but not the full
faith  and  credit  of  the  U.S.  Government,  such  as the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage
Corporation  ("FHLMC") and the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA");
and

     (4)    Collateralized  mortgage obligations issued by private issuers for
which  the  underlying  mortgage-backed  securities  serving as collateral are
backed    (i)    by  the  credit  alone  of  the  U.S.  Government  agency  or
instrumentality  which issues or guarantees the mortgage-backed securities, or
(ii)  by  the  full  faith  and  credit  of  the  U.S.  Government.

Up  to  20%  of  the  total  assets  of  the Portfolio may be invested in U.S.
dollar-denominated  marketable  corporate  debt  securities (such as bonds and
debentures)  of domestic and foreign issuers rated at the time of purchase "A"
or better by Moody's or S&P, or of comparable quality thereto as determined by
the  Sub-Adviser.  The risks associated with such investments are described in
greater  detail  in  the  Appendix.

   From  time to time, a  significant portion of the Portfolio's assets may be
invested  in  mortgage-backed  securities.  The  mortgage-backed securities in
which  the  Portfolio  invests  represent  participating interests in pools of
fixed rate and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans issued or guaranteed
by  agencies  or  instrumentalities  of  the  U.S.  Government.  However,  any
guarantee of these types of securities runs only to the principal and interest
payments  on  the securities and not to the market value of such securities or
the  principal and interest payments on the underlying mortgages. In addition,
the  guarantee only runs to the portfolio securities held by the Portfolio and
not  to  the  purchase  of  shares  of  the  Portfolio.

Mortgage-backed  securities  are  issued  by lenders such as mortgage bankers,
commercial    banks,   and  savings  and  loan  associations.  Mortgage-backed
securities  generally  provide  monthly  payments  which  are,  in  effect,  a
"pass-through"  of  the monthly interest and principal payments (including any
prepayments)  made  by  the individual borrowers on the pooled mortgage loans.
Principal  prepayments  result from the sale of the underlying property or the
refinancing    or    foreclosure    of  underlying  mortgages.

The  yield  of  mortgage-backed securities is based on the prepayment rates of
the underlying pool of securities. Prepayments tend to increase during periods
of  falling  interest rates,  while  during  periods  of rising interest rates
prepayments  will  most  likely  decline.  Reinvestments  by  the Portfolio of
scheduled principal payments and  unscheduled  prepayments may occur at higher
or  lower  rates than the original  investment, thus  affecting  the  yield of
the  Portfolio.  Monthly interest  payments  received  by the Portfolio have a
compounding  effect  which  will    increase    the  yield  to shareholders as
compared  to  debt obligations that pay  interest  semiannually. For a further
description  of  mortgage-backed  securities,  see  the  Appendix and the SAI.

The  Portfolio will not knowingly invest in a high-risk mortgage security. The
term  "high-risk  mortgage  security"  is  defined  generally  as any mortgage
security that exhibits significantly greater price volatility than a benchmark
security,   the  FNMA  current  coupon  30-year  mortgage-backed  pass-through
security.  Shares  of  the Portfolio are neither insured nor guaranteed by the
U.S.  Government,  its agencies or instrumentalities. Neither the issuance by,
nor  the  guarantee  of,  a  U.S. Government agency for a security constitutes
assurance  that the security will not significantly fluctuate in value or that
the  Portfolio  will receive the originally anticipated yield on the security.

The  Portfolio  may engage in various hedging and other strategic transactions
including  that  it  may:  write  covered  call  options  and  put  options on
securities and purchase call and put options on securities, write covered call
and  put  options  on  securities indexes and purchase call and put options on
securities  indexes,  and,  may  enter  into  futures  contracts  on financial
instruments  and  indexes  and write and purchase put and call options on such
futures  contracts.  It  is  not  presently  anticipated  that  any  of  these
strategies will be used to a significant degree by the Portfolio. The Appendix
and  the  SAI  contain  a description of these strategies and of certain risks
associated  therewith.

The    Portfolio    may   purchase  debt  securities  on  a  "when-issued"  or
"forward-delivery"  basis,  loan  portfolio  securities  (up  to  20% of total
Portfolio   assets),  engage  in  repurchase  agreements,  reverse  repurchase
agreements and dollar roll transactions, and invest in illiquid securities (up
to  15% of the Portfolio's net assets, not including restricted securities for
which  a ready market is available pursuant to exemption provided by Rule 144A
under  the  1933  Act.)  These  investments  and transactions are described in
greater  detail  in  the  Appendix  and  the  SAI.

High rates of portfolio turnover necessarily result in correspondingly greater
brokerage  and  portfolio trading costs, which are paid by the Portfolio.  The
portfolio  turnover  rate  for the Portfolio for the period ended December 31,
1996  was  297%.    (See  "Portfolio  Turnover"  in  the  SAI.)

VAN  KAMPEN  AMERICAN  CAPITAL  EMERGING  GROWTH  PORTFOLIO

The  Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation for its shareholders; any
ordinary  income  received  from  portfolio securities is entirely incidental.
This  objective  is not fundamental and may be changed by the Trust's Board of
Trustees  without shareholder approval, but no change is anticipated. If there
is  a change in the investment objective of the Portfolio, shareholders should
consider  whether  the Portfolio remains an appropriate investment in light of
their  then  current financial position and needs. There can, of course, be no
assurance  that  the  objective  of  capital  appreciation  will  be realized;
therefore,  full  consideration  should  be given to the risks inherent in the
investment  techniques that the Sub-Adviser may use to achieve such objective.

As  a  fundamental  investment  policy,  the Portfolio under normal conditions
invests  at  least  65%  of  its  total  assets  in common stocks of small and
medium-sized  companies,  both  domestic  and  foreign, in the early stages of
their  life  cycle  that the Sub-Adviser believes have the potential to become
major    enterprises.    Investments  in  such  companies  may  offer  greater
opportunities  for  growth of capital than larger, more established companies,
but  also  may  involve certain special risks. Emerging growth companies often
have  limited  product lines, markets, or financial resources, and they may be
dependent  upon  one person or a few key people for management. The securities
of  such  companies  may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements
than  securities  of larger, more established companies or the market averages
in  general.  While the Portfolio will invest primarily in common stocks, to a
limited  extent,  it may invest in other securities, such as preferred stocks,
convertible  securities  and  warrants.  The  Portfolio  does  not  limit  its
investment  to  any  single  group or type of security. The Portfolio may also
invest  in  special  situations involving new management, special products and
techniques,  unusual  developments,  mergers  or  liquidations. Investments in
unseasoned  companies  and special situations often involve much greater risks
than  are  inherent  in  ordinary  investments,  because  securities  of  such
companies  may  be more likely to experience unexpected fluctuations in price.

The  Portfolio's  primary approach is to seek what the Sub-Adviser believes to
be unusually attractive growth investments on an individual company basis. The
Portfolio may invest in securities that have above-average volatility of price
movement.  Because prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the
value  of  an investment in the Portfolio will vary based upon the Portfolio's
investment  performance.  The Portfolio attempts to reduce overall exposure to
risk from declines in securities prices by spreading its investments over many
different  companies  in  a  variety  of  industries.  There  is,  however, no
assurance  that  the  Portfolio will be successful in achieving its objective.
The  Portfolio  may  invest  up  to  20%  of its total assets in securities of
foreign  issuers.  (See  "Appendix  -  Foreign  Investments" and the SAI for a
discussion  of  the  risks  involved  in foreign investing.) Additionally, the
Portfolio  may  invest  up  to  10%  of  the value of its assets in restricted
securities  (i.e., securities which may not be sold without registration under
the  Securities  Act  of 1933 ("1933 Act")) and in other securities not having
readily  available  market quotations. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase
agreements with domestic banks and broker-dealers which involve certain risks.
The  Portfolio  does not presently expect to commit as much as 5% of its total
assets  to  investments in either warrants or restricted securities. The risks
involved  in  investing  in  restricted  securities,  warrants  and repurchase
agreements  are  described  under  "Investment Objectives and Policies" in the
SAI.

The  Portfolio  may  invest in options, futures contracts and related options.
These  investments  and  transactions  are  described in greater detail in the
Appendix  and  SAI.

High rates of portfolio turnover necessarily result in correspondingly greater
brokerage  and  portfolio trading costs, which are paid by the Portfolio.  The
portfolio  turnover  rate  for the Portfolio for the period ended December 31,
1996  was  154%.    (See  "Portfolio  Turnover"  in  the  SAI.)

subject  to  the  control  of  the  Trustees.

The  Adviser  is  a  Delaware  corporation which was incorporated in 1994. The
Adviser  has had no previous experience in advising a mutual fund. The Adviser
is  a  subsidiary  of  Western  National  Corporation  ("Western National"), a
Delaware corporation organized in October 1993 to serve as the holding company
for  the  Life  Company.

On  December  23,  1994,  AGC  Life Insurance Company ("AGC Life"), a Missouri
domiciled  life  insurer, purchased 24,947,500 shares (the "Shares") of common
stock, par value $.001 per share, of Western National, from Conseco Investment
Holding  Company,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Conseco, Inc., representing
approximately  40%  of  the  outstanding common stock of Western National. The
Shares  represent  all  of  the  common stock of Western National then held by
Conseco  and  its  subsidiaries.  AGC  Life  is  a  wholly-owned subsidiary of
American  General  Corporation,  a  Texas  corporation  ("AGC"). References to
"American  General"  are  references  to  AGC  and  its  direct  and  indirect
majority-controlled  subsidiaries.  Prior  to the above-described transaction,
American  General  held  no  voting  securities  of  Western  National.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is obligated to formulate
a continuing program for the investment of the assets of each Portfolio of the
Trust  in  a  manner  consistent  with each Portfolio's investment objectives,
policies  and restrictions and to determine from time to time securities to be
purchased,  sold,  retained  or  lent  by  the  Trust  and  to implement those
decisions.  The  Investment  Advisory Agreement also provides that the Adviser
shall  manage the Trust's business and affairs and shall provide such services
required  for  effective  administration  of  the Trust as are now provided by
employees  or  other  agents  engaged  by  the  Trust. The Investment Advisory
Agreement  further  provides  that  the  Adviser  shall furnish the Trust with
office  space  and  necessary personnel, pay ordinary office expenses, pay all
executive salaries of the Trust and furnish, without expense to the Trust, the
services  of  such members of its organization as may be duly elected officers
or  Trustees  of  the  Trust.  The Investment Advisory Agreement provides that
Adviser  may  retain  sub-advisers, at the Adviser's own cost and expense, for
the purpose of managing the investment of the assets of one or more Portfolios
of  the  Trust.

As full compensation for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement,
the  Trust  will  pay  the Adviser a monthly fee at the following annual rates
shown  in  the  table  below  based  on  the  average daily net assets of each
Portfolio.

capitalization  in  order  for  the  Adviser  to  meet  any  minimum  capital
requirements.  The  Life Company is further obligated to reimburse the Adviser

     SALES  AND  REDEMPTIONS

The  separate account of the Life Company places orders to purchase and redeem
shares  of  each Portfolio based on, among other things, the amount of premium
payments  to be invested and surrender and transfer requests to be effected on
that  day  pursuant  to  the  VA  contracts issued by the Life Company. Orders
received  by  the  Trust  are  effected  on  days  on which the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading, at the net asset value per share next determined
after  receipt  of  the order, except that, in the case of the Global Advisors
Money  Market  Portfolio,  purchases  will  not  be  effected  until  the next
determination  of net asset value after federal funds have been made available
to  the  Trust.  For  orders  received  before  4:00  p.m. New York time, such
purchases  and  redemptions  of  shares  of each Portfolio are effected at the
respective net asset values per share determined as of 4:00 p.m. New York time
on  that  day.  See  "Net Asset Value," below, and "Determination of Net Asset
Value"  in  the  Trust's  Statement  of  Additional  Information.  Payment for
redemptions  will  be  made  within  seven  days after receipt of a redemption
request  in  good  order.  No  fee is charged the separate account of the Life
Company  when  it  redeems Portfolio shares. The Trust may suspend the sale of
shares  at  anytime  and  may  refuse  any  order  to  purchase  shares.

The  Trust  may suspend the right of redemption of shares of any Portfolio and
may  postpone  payment  for  any  period:  (i) during which the New York Stock
Exchange  is  closed  other than for customary weekend and holiday closings or
during  which  trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (ii) when
the  Securities  and  Exchange Commission determines that a state of emergency
exists,  which  makes the sale of portfolio securities or the determination of
net  asset  value  not  reasonably  practicable;  (iii)  as the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  may  by  order permit for the protection of the security
holders  of the Trust; or (iv) at anytime when the Trust may, under applicable
laws  and  regulations,  suspend  payment  on  the  redemption  of its shares.

                               NET  ASSET  VALUE

Each Portfolio calculates the net asset value of a share by dividing the total
value  of  its  assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding.
Shares are valued as of 4:00 p.m. New York time on each day the New York Stock
Exchange  is  open.

The  Global  Advisors  Money Market Portfolio's securities are valued at their
amortized cost, which does not take into account unrealized gains or losses on
securities.  This  method involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost
and  thereafter  assuming  a  constant amortization to maturity of any premium
paid  or  discount received. For a more complete description of amortized cost
valuation,  see  "Determination  of  Net  Asset  Value"  in  the  SAI.

Because  foreign  securities  are  quoted in foreign currencies, which will be
translated  into  U.S. dollars at the New York cable transfer rates or at such
other  rates  as  the  Trustees  may  determine  in computing net asset value,
fluctuations  in  the  value of such currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar
will  affect the net asset value of shares of a Portfolio investing in foreign
securities  even  though  there  has not been any change in the local currency
values  of  such  securities.

                           PERFORMANCE  INFORMATION

Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio: From time to time, the Global Advisors
Money  Market  Portfolio's  annualized  "yield"  and  "effective yield" may be
presented  in  advertisements  and  sales  literature. These yield figures are
based  on  historical  earnings  and  are  not  intended  to  indicate  future
performance.  The "yield" of the Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio refers
to  the income generated by an investment in the shares of that Portfolio 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  calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an
investment  in  the  shares  of  the Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio is
assumed  to  be reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than
the  "yield"  because  of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
For  more  information  regarding  the  computation  of "yield" and "effective
yield,"  see  "Performance  Information"  in  the  SAI.

Other Portfolios: Performance information for each of the other Portfolios may
also  be  presented  from time to time in advertisements and sales literature.
The  Portfolios  may advertise several types of performance information. These
are  the  "yield," "average annual total return" and "aggregate total return."
Each  of these figures is based upon historical results and is not necessarily
representative  of  the  future  performance  of  any  Portfolio.

The  yield of a Portfolio's shares is determined by annualizing net investment
income  earned  per  share for a stated period (normally one month or 30 days)
and  dividing  the  result  by the net asset value per share at the end of the
valuation  period.  The average annual total return and aggregate total return
figures measure both the net investment income generated by, and the effect of
any  realized  or  unrealized  appreciation  or depreciation of the underlying
investments in, the Portfolio's portfolio for the period in question, assuming
the  reinvestment  of all dividends. Thus, these figures reflect the change in
the  value of an investment in a Portfolio's shares during a specified period.
Average  annual  total  return will be quoted for at least the one-, five- and
ten-year  periods ending on a recent calendar quarter (or if such periods have
not  yet  elapsed, at the end of a shorter period corresponding to the life of
the  Portfolio).  Average  annual  total  return  figures  are annualized and,
therefore,  represent  the average annual percentage change over the period in
question.  Total return figures are not annualized and represent the aggregate
percentage  or  dollar  value  change  over  the  period in question. For more
information  regarding  the  computation of yield, average annual total return
and  aggregate  total  return,  see  "Performance  Information"  in  the  SAI.

Any  Portfolio performance information presented will also include performance
information for the insurance company separate accounts investing in the Trust
which will take into account insurance-related charges and expenses under such
insurance  policies  and  contracts.

Advertisements  concerning  the  Trust  may  from  time  to  time  compare the
performance  of  one or more Portfolios to various indexes. Advertisements may
also  contain  the  performance  rankings assigned certain Portfolios or their
advisers  by  various  publications  and  statistical services, including, for
example,  SEI, Lipper Analytical Services Mutual Funds Survey, Lipper Variable
Insurance    Products  Performance  Analysis  Service,  Morningstar,  Intersec
Research  Survey  of Non U.S. Equity Fund Returns, Frank Russell International
Universe, and Financial Services Week. Any such comparisons  or  rankings  are
based    on  past  performance  and the statistical computation  performed  by
publications  and  services,  and  are not necessarily indications  of  future
performance.    Because    the   Portfolios  are  managed investment  vehicles
investing in a wide variety of securities, the securities owned by a Portfolio
will  not  match  those  making  up  an  index.

                   TAX  STATUS,  DIVIDENDS,  AND  DISTRIBUTIONS

Each  Portfolio  of the Trust intends to qualify and elects to be treated as a
regulated  investment company that is taxed under the rules of Subchapter M of
the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  As  an electing regulated investment company, a
Portfolio will not be subject to federal income tax on its net ordinary income
and  net  realized  capital  gains  to  the  extent  such income and gains are
distributed  to  the  separate  account  of  the  Life Company which holds its
shares. For further information concerning federal income tax consequences for
the  holders of the VA Contracts of the Life Company, investors should consult
the  prospectus  used  in  connection with the issuance of their VA Contracts.

The  Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio will declare a dividend of its net
ordinary  income  daily  and  distribute  such  dividend  monthly.  The Global
Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio  does  not anticipate that it will normally
realize  any long-term capital gains with respect to its portfolio securities.
Distributions  will be made shortly after the first business day of each month
following  declaration  of  the  dividend.  Each  of the other Portfolios will
declare  and  distribute  dividends from net ordinary income at least annually
and will distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.
Distributions  of  ordinary income and capital gains will be made in shares of
such  Portfolios unless an election is made on behalf of a separate account to
receive  distributions  in  cash.  The  Life Company will be informed at least
annually  about  the  amount and character of distributions from the Trust for
federal  income  tax  purposes.

                            ADDITIONAL  INFORMATION

The  Trust was established as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of
Massachusetts  by  a  Declaration of Trust dated December 12, 1994, as amended
April  19,  1995  (the  "Declaration  of  Trust").  Under  Massachusetts  law,
shareholders  of  such  a  trust  may,  under  certain  circumstances, be held
personally   liable  as  partners  for  the  obligations  of  the  trust.  The
Declaration  of  Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability
in  connection with Trust property or the acts, obligations, or affairs of the
Trust.  The  Declaration  of  Trust also provides for indemnification out of a
Portfolio's  property  of  any  shareholder  of that Portfolio held personally
liable  for  the  claims  and  liabilities  to  which a shareholder may become
subject  by  reason of being or having been a shareholder. Thus, the risk of a
shareholder's  incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances in which the Portfolio itself would be unable to meet
its  obligations.  A  copy  of  the  Declaration  of Trust is on file with the
Secretary  of  State  of  The  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts.

The Trust has an unlimited authorized number of shares of beneficial interest.
Shares  of  the  Trust  are  entitled to one vote per share (with proportional
voting for fractional shares) and are freely transferable, and, in liquidation
of a Portfolio, shareholders of the Portfolio are entitled to receive pro rata
the  net  assets  of  the Portfolio. Although no Portfolio is required to hold
annual  meetings  of  its  shareholders, shareholders have the right to call a
meeting  to  elect  or remove Trustees or to take other actions as provided in
the  Declaration of Trust. Shareholders have no preemptive rights. The Trust's
custodian,       sub-administrator and      transfer and dividend-paying agent
is    State  Street  Bank  and  Trust  Company.

To  mitigate  the  possibility  that a Portfolio will be adversely affected by
personal  trading  of  employees,  the Trust, the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers
have adopted policies that restrict securities trading in personal accounts of
the  portfolio  managers  and  others  who  normally  come  into possession of
information on portfolio transactions.  These policies comply, in all material
respects,  with  the  recommendations  of  the  Investment  Company Institute.


                                   APPENDIX
                     SECURITIES  AND  INVESTMENT  PRACTICES

In  attempting  to achieve its investment objective or policies each Portfolio
employs  a  variety  of  instruments,  strategies  and  techniques,  which are
described  in  greater  detail  below.  Risks and restrictions associated with
these practices are also described. Policies and limitations are considered at
the  time  a  security  or  instrument  is  purchased or a practice initiated.
Generally,  securities  need not be sold if subsequent changes in market value
result  in  applicable  limitations  not  being  met.

A  Portfolio  might  not  buy  all  of  these  securities  or use all of these
techniques  to  the  full  extent permitted unless the Sub-Adviser, subject to
oversight  by  Adviser, believes that doing so will help the Portfolio achieve
its  goal.  As  a  shareholder,  you  will receive Portfolio reports every six
months  detailing  the  Trust's  holdings  and  describing  recent  investment
practices.

   Except  where  noted  otherwise,  the  investment  guidelines  set  forth
below  may  be  changed at anytime without shareholder  consent by vote of the
Board  of  Trustees of the Trust. A complete list  of  investment restrictions
that  identifies additional restrictions that cannot  be changed  without  the
approval    of  a  majority of  an  affected Portfolio's outstanding shares is
contained  in  the  SAI.

AMERICAN  DEPOSITORY  RECEIPTS  AND  EUROPEAN  DEPOSITORY  RECEIPTS

Certain  Portfolios may invest in securities of foreign issuers directly or in
the  form  of  American  Depository  Receipts  ("ADRs"),  European  Depository
Receipts  ("EDRs")  or  other  similar  securities  representing securities of
foreign  issuers.  These  securities may not necessarily be denominated in the
same  currency  as  the securities they represent. ADRs are receipts typically
issued  by  a  United  States  bank  or  trust  company  evidencing beneficial
ownership  of the underlying foreign securities. EDRs are receipts issued by a
European  financial  institution  evidencing a similar arrangement. Generally,
ADRs, in registered form, are designed for use in the United States securities
markets, and EDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use in European securities
markets.

ASSET-BACKED  SECURITIES

Certain  Portfolios  may  purchase  asset-backed securities, which represent a
participation  in,  or  are  secured by and payable from, a stream of payments
generated  by  particular  assets,  most often a pool of assets similar to one
another. Assets generating such payments may include motor vehicle installment
purchase  obligations,  such  as  company  receivables,  truck and auto loans,
leases,  credit  card  receivables  and home equity loans. Such securities are
generally  issued  as  pass-through  certificates,  which  represent undivided
fractional  ownership  interests  in  the  underlying  pools  of  assets. Such
securities    also    may  be  debt  instruments,  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
such  assets  and  issuing  such  debt.

Asset-backed  securities  are  not  issued  or guaranteed by the United States
Government  or  its  agencies  or  instrumentalities;  however, the payment of
principal  and  interest  on  such obligations may be guaranteed up to certain
amounts  and  for a certain period by a letter of credit issued by a financial
institution  (such  as  a  bank  or  insurance  company) unaffiliated with the
issuers  of  such  securities.  The purchase of asset-backed securities raises
risk  considerations  peculiar  to the financing of the instruments underlying
such securities. For example, there is a risk that another party could acquire
an  interest  in  the  obligations  superior  to  that  of  the holders of the
asset-backed  securities.  There  also  is  the possibility that recoveries on
repossessed  collateral  may  not,  in  some  cases,  be  available to support
payments  on those securities. Asset-backed securities entail prepayment risk,
which  may vary depending on the type of asset, but is generally less than the
prepayment  risk  associated  with  mortgage-backed  securities.  In addition,
credit  card  receivables  are  unsecured  obligations  of  the  card  holder.

BANK  OBLIGATIONS

All   of  the  Portfolios  may  invest  in  Bank  Obligations,  which  include
certificates  of  deposit,  time  deposits  and  bankers'  acceptances of U.S.
commercial  banks or savings and loan institutions which are determined by the
Sub-Advisers to present minimal credit risks. Certain Portfolios may invest in
foreign    currency-denominated  Bank  Obligations,  including    Eurocurrency
instruments  and  securities  of  U.S.  and  foreign  banks  and  thrifts.

BORROWING

Each    of    the  Portfolios  may  borrow money (including reverse repurchase
agreements,  if  permitted  by  the  Portfolio's  investment  objectives  and
policies)
up to 33 1/3% of its assets) for temporary or emergency purposes. In addition,
the  Global  Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio    may  borrow  to  facilitate
redemptions.
A  portfolio  may  borrow for leveraging or investment with respect to reverse
repurchase  agreements  and dollar roll transactions (including covered rolls)
to
the  extent  such  investments  are permitted under the Portfolio's investment
objectives  and policies.  If a Portfolio borrows money, its  share  price may
be
subject  to  greater  fluctuation  until  the  borrowing is paid  off.  If the
Portfolio
makes  additional  investments  while  borrowings are outstanding, this may be
construed  as  a  form  of  leverage.

Borrowing,    including    reverse   repurchase  agreements  and,  in  certain
circumstances,  dollar  rolls,  creates leverage which increases a Portfolio's
investment  risk. If the income and gains on the securities purchased with the
proceeds  of  borrowings  exceed the cost of the arrangements, the Portfolio's
earnings  or  net  asset  value  will  increase  faster than would be the case
otherwise.  Conversely,  if  the  income  and  gains fail to exceed the costs,
earnings  or  net  asset value will decline faster than would otherwise be the
case.

   As  a matter of operating policy, no Portfolio will borrow more than 10% of
its  total  net  asset value when borrowing for general purposes and none will
borrow  an  amount  equal  to  more than 25% of its total net asset value when
borrowing  as    a   temporary measure or to facilitate redemptions. For these
purposes,  net  asset   value is the market value of all investments or assets
less  outstanding  liabilities    at    the    time that the new or additional
borrowing  is  undertaken.  Also  for  these  purposes,  securities  purchased
on  a  when-issued or delayed delivery basis and short sales of securities are
considered  borrowing.  Reverse repurchase agreements and dollar rolls are not
considered borrowings for purposes of this operating policy.  A Portfolio will
not  purchase  investments  once  borrowed funds (including reverse repurchase
agreements) exceed 5% of its total assets. This 5% limitation is a fundamental
investment  restriction  of  the  Trust  which  may  not  be  changed  without
shareholder
approval.

COMMON  STOCK  AND  OTHER  EQUITY  SECURITIES

Common  Stocks represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation. This
ownership  interest  generally gives a Portfolio the right to vote on measures
affecting  the  company's  organization  and  operations.

Certain Portfolios may also buy securities such as convertible debt, preferred
stock,  warrants  or other securities exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.
In  selecting equity investments for a Portfolio, each Portfolio's Sub-Adviser
will  generally invest the Portfolio's assets in industries and companies that
it  believes are experiencing favorable demand for their products and services
and  which  operate  in  a  favorable  competitive  and  regulatory  climate.

Investments  in  equity securities in general are subject to market risks that
may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. The value of convertible equity
securities  is  also affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality
of  the  issuer  and  any  call provision. Fluctuations in the value of equity
securities  in  which  a Portfolio invests will cause the net asset value of a
Portfolio  to  fluctuate.

CONVERTIBLE  SECURITIES

Convertible  securities  are  corporate securities that are exchangeable for a
set  number  of  another security at a prestated price. Convertible securities
typically  have  characteristics  similar  to  both  fixed  income  and equity
securities.

Because  of the conversion feature, the market value of convertible securities
tends  to  move  with the market value of the underlying stock. The value of a
convertible security is also affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit
quality  of  the  issuer,  and  any  call  provisions.

CURRENCY  MANAGEMENT

A  Portfolio's  flexibility  to  participate  in  higher-yielding debt markets
outside  of the United States may allow the Portfolio to achieve higher yields
than  those  generally  obtained by domestic money market funds and short-term
bond  investments.  When  a  Portfolio  invests  significantly  in  securities
denominated  in  foreign  currencies,  however,  movements in foreign currency
exchange  rates vs. the U.S. dollar are likely to impact the Portfolio's share
price  stability relative to domestic short-term income funds. Fluctuations in
foreign  currencies  can  have  a  positive  or  negative  impact  on returns.
Normally,  to the extent that the Portfolio is invested in foreign securities,
a weakening in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies underlying a
Portfolio's  investments  should  help  increase  the  net  asset value of the
Portfolio.  Conversely,  a  strengthening  in  the U.S. dollar vs. the foreign
currencies  in  which  a Portfolio's securities are denominated will generally
lower  the  net  asset  value  of  the Portfolio. Each Portfolio's Sub-Adviser
attempts  to  minimize exchange rate risk through active portfolio management,
including  hedging  currency  exposure through the use of futures, options and
forward  currency  transactions  and  attempting to identify bond markets with
strong  or stable currencies. There can be no assurance that such hedging will
be  successful  and  such  transactions,  if  unsuccessful,  could  result  in
additional  losses  or  expenses  to  a  Portfolio.

DOLLAR  ROLL  TRANSACTIONS

Certain  Portfolios  seeking  a  high  level  of current income may enter into
dollar  rolls  and  "covered  rolls"  in  which the Portfolio sells securities
(usually Mortgage-Backed Securities) and simultaneously contracts to purchase,
typically  in  30  to  60  days,  substantially  similar,  but  not  identical
securities,  on  a  specified future date. The proceeds of the initial sale of
securities  in  such transactions may be used to purchase long-term securities
which  will  be  held  during  the  roll  period.  During the roll period, the
Portfolio  forgoes  principal  and interest paid on the securities sold at the
beginning  of  the roll period. The Portfolio is compensated by the difference
between  the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase
(often  referred  to  as  the "drop") as well as by the interest earned on the
cash  proceeds  of  the  initial  sale. A "covered roll" is a specific type of
dollar  roll for which there is an offsetting cash position or cash equivalent
securities  position  that matures on or before the forward settlement date of
the  dollar  roll transaction. As used herein the term "dollar roll" refers to
dollar  rolls  that are not "covered rolls." At the end of the roll commitment
period,  the  Portfolio  may  or  may  not take delivery of the securities the
Portfolio  has  contracted  to  purchase.

A Portfolio will establish a segregated account with its custodian in which it
will maintain cash, U.S. Government Securities or other liquid high-grade debt
obligations  equal  in  value  at  all  times to its obligations in respect of
dollar  rolls, and, accordingly, the Portfolio will not treat such obligations
as  senior  securities  for  purposes of the 1940 Act. "Covered rolls" are not
subject  to these segregation requirements. Dollar rolls and covered rolls may
be  considered  borrowings  and  are,  therefore,  subject  to  the  borrowing
limitations    applicable    to  the  Portfolios,  except  that  dollar  rolls
(including
covered  rolls) shall not be considered to be "borrowed funds" for purposes of
the 5% limitation described under "Borrowing" above.  Dollar rolls involve the
risk  that the  market  value  of the securities the Portfolio is obligated to
repurchase  under    the  agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In
the
event  the buyer  of  securities  under  a  dollar  roll  files for bankruptcy
or  becomes  insolvent,   the  Portfolio's  use  of  proceeds  of  the  dollar
roll    may be restricted  pending  a  determination  by  the  other party, or
its trustee or receiver,  whether  to  enforce  the  Portfolio's obligation to
repurchase  the  securities.

EQUITY AND DEBT SECURITIES ISSUED OR GUARANTEED BY SUPRANATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

Portfolios  authorized  to  invest in securities of foreign issuers may invest
assets  in  equity  and  debt securities issued or guaranteed by Supranational
Organizations,   such  as  obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  Asian
Development  Bank,  InterAmerican  Development  Bank,  International  Bank for
Reconstruction   and  Development  (World  Bank),  African  Development  Bank,
European  Coal  and  Steel  Community,  European  Economic Community, European
Investment  Bank  and  the  Nordic  Investment  Bank.

EXCHANGE  RATE-RELATED  SECURITIES

Certain  Portfolios  may  invest  in  securities  which are indexed to certain
specific  foreign  currency  exchange  rates. The terms of such security would
provide that the principal amount or interest payments are adjusted upwards or
downwards  (but  not  below  zero)  at  payment to reflect fluctuations in the
exchange  rate  between  two  currencies  while the obligation is outstanding,
depending  on  the  terms  of the specific security. A Portfolio will purchase
such  security  with  the currency in which it is denominated and will receive
interest  and  principal  payments  thereon in the currency, but the amount of
principal  or  interest  payable  by the issuer will vary in proportion to the
change  (if  any)  in  the  exchange  rate between the two specific currencies
between  the  date  the  instrument  is  issued  and the date the principal or
interest payment is due. The staff of the SEC is currently considering whether
a mutual fund's purchase of this type of security would result in the issuance
of  a "senior security" within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Trust believes
that  such  investments do not involve the creation of such a senior security,
but  nevertheless  undertakes,  pending  the  resolution  of this issue by the
staff,  to establish a segregated account with respect to such investments and
to  maintain  in  such  account  cash  not  available  for  investment or U.S.
Government  Securities  or other liquid, high-quality debt securities having a
value  equal  to  the  aggregate principal amount of outstanding securities of
this  type.


Investment in Exchange Rate-Related Securities entails certain risks. There is
the  possibility  of significant changes in rates of exchange between the U.S.
dollar  and any foreign currency to which an Exchange Rate-Related Security is
linked. In addition, there is no assurance that sufficient trading interest to
create  a  liquid  secondary  market  will  exist  for  a  particular Exchange
Rate-Related  Security  due  to  conditions  in  the debt and foreign currency
markets.  Illiquidity  in  the  forward  foreign  exchange market and the high
volatility  of  the  foreign  exchange market may from time to time combine to
make  it difficult to sell an Exchange Rate-Related Security prior to maturity
without  incurring  a  significant  price  loss.

FIXED-INCOME  SECURITIES

Fixed  income  securities  consist  of  bonds,  notes,  debentures  and  other
interest-bearing  securities  that represent indebtedness. The market value of
fixed-income  obligations  held  by  the Portfolios and, consequently, the net
asset  value  per share of the Portfolios can be expected to vary inversely to
changes in prevailing interest rates. Investors should also recognize that, in
periods of declining interest rates, the yields of the fixed-income Portfolios
will  tend  to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates and, in periods
of  rising interest rates, the fixed-income Portfolios' yields will tend to be
somewhat  lower.  Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new
money to the fixed-income Portfolios from the continuous sales of their shares
will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance
of  their  assets,  thereby  reducing  current  yields.  In  periods of rising
interest  rates,  the opposite can be expected to occur. Prices of longer-term
securities   generally  increase  or  decrease  more  sharply  than  those  of
shorter-term  securities  in  response  to interest rate changes. In addition,
obligations purchased by certain of the fixed-income Portfolios that are rated
in  the  lower  of the top four ratings (Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P, Duff or
Fitch)  are  considered  to  have  speculative  characteristics and changes in
economic  conditions  or  other  circumstances  are  more  likely to lead to a
weakened  capacity  to  make  principal and interest payments than is the case
with higher-grade securities. (See "Lower-Rated Securities" in this Appendix.)


FOREIGN  CURRENCY  EXCHANGE  TRANSACTIONS

Certain  Portfolios  may  engage  in  foreign  currency exchange transactions.
Portfolios  that  buy and sell securities denominated in currencies other than
the  U.S.  dollar,  and  receive  interest,  dividends  and  sale  proceeds in
currencies  other  than  the  U.S.  dollar,  may  enter  into foreign currency
exchange  transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and
to  convert  foreign  currencies  to and from the U.S. dollar. A Portfolio can
either  enter into these transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot
rate  prevailing  in  the  foreign  currency  exchange  market, or use forward
contracts  to  purchase  or  sell  foreign  currencies.

A  forward  foreign currency exchange contract is an obligation by a Portfolio
to  purchase  or  sell  a specific currency at a future date, which may be any
fixed  number  of days from the date of the contract. Forward foreign currency
exchange  contracts  establish  an  exchange  rate  at  a  future  date. These
contracts  are transferable in the interbank market conducted directly between
currency  traders  (usually  large  commercial  banks)  and their customers. A
forward    foreign   currency  exchange  contract  generally  has  no  deposit
requirement,  and is traded at a net price without a commission. The Portfolio
maintains  with  its  Custodian,  in  a  segregated account, high-grade liquid
assets  in  an  amount  at  least  equal to its obligations under each forward
foreign  currency  exchange  contract.  Neither  spot transactions nor forward
foreign  currency  exchange  contracts eliminate fluctuations in the prices of
the  Portfolio's portfolio securities or in foreign exchange rates, or prevent
loss  if  the  prices  of  these  securities  should  decline.

A  Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions for hedging
purposes  as  well  as for non-hedging purposes. Transactions are entered into
for  hedging  purposes  in  an  attempt  to protect against changes in foreign
currency  exchange  rates  between  the trade and settlement dates of specific
securities  transactions  or  changes  in foreign currency exchange rates that
would  adversely  affect  a  portfolio  position  or  an anticipated portfolio
position. Although these transactions tend to minimize the risk of loss due to
a  decline  in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they tend to
limit any potential gain that might be realized should the value of the hedged
currency  increase.  The  precise matching of the forward contract amounts and
the  value  of  the securities involved will not generally be possible because
the  future  value  of these securities in foreign currencies will change as a
consequence  of  market movements in the value of those securities between the
date  the  forward  contract  is  entered  into  and  the date it matures. The
projection  of  currency  market  movements  is  extremely  difficult, and the
successful  execution  of a hedging strategy is highly uncertain. In addition,
when  the  Sub-Adviser  believes  that  the currency of a specific country may
deteriorate  against another currency, it may enter into a forward contract to
sell  the less attractive currency and buy the more attractive one. The amount
in  question  could  be  less  than  or  equal to the value of the Portfolio's
securities denominated in the less attractive currency. The Portfolio may also
enter into a forward contract to sell a currency which is linked to a currency
or currencies in which some or all of the Portfolio's portfolio securities are
or could be denominated, and to buy U.S. dollars. These practices are referred
to  as  "cross  hedging"  and  "proxy  hedging."

A  Portfolio  may  enter into foreign currency exchange transactions for other
than  hedging  purposes  which  presents  greater  profit  potential  but also
involves  increased  risk.  For  example, if the Sub-Adviser believes that the
value  of  a particular foreign currency will increase or decrease relative to
the  value  of  the  U.S.  dollar,  the  Portfolio  may  purchase or sell such
currency,  respectively, through a forward foreign currency exchange contract.
If the expected changes in the value of the currency occur, the Portfolio will
realize  profits which will increase its gross income. Where exchange rates do
not move in the direction or to the extent anticipated, however, the Portfolio
may  sustain  losses  which  will  reduce its gross income. Such transactions,
therefore,  could  be  considered  speculative.

Forward  currency  exchange  contracts are agreements to exchange one currency
for another -- for example, to exchange a certain amount of U.S. dollars for a
certain  amount  of  Japanese  yen  --  at  a future date and specified price.
Typically,  the  other  party  to  a  currency  exchange  contract  will  be a
commercial  bank  or  other  financial institution. Because there is a risk of
loss  to  the  Portfolio if the other party does not complete the transaction,
the   Portfolio's  Sub-Adviser  will  enter  into  foreign  currency  exchange
contracts  only  with  parties  approved  by  the  Trust's  Board of Trustees.

A  Portfolio  may  maintain  "short"  positions  in  forward currency exchange
transactions  in  which  the  Portfolio  agrees  to  exchange currency that it
currently  does  not  own  for another currency -- for example, to exchange an
amount  of  Japanese  yen  that  it  does not own for a certain amount of U.S.
dollars  --  at a future date and specified price in anticipation of a decline
in  the  value  of  the  currency sold short relative to the currency that the
Portfolio  has  contracted  to  receive  in  the  exchange.

While such actions are intended to protect the Portfolio from adverse currency
movements,  there  is  a  risk  that  currency  movements involved will not be
properly    anticipated.  Use  of  this  technique  may  also  be  limited  by
management's  need  to  protect  the  status  of  the Portfolio as a regulated
investment  company  under  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The
projection  of  currency  market  movements  is  extremely  difficult, and the
successful  execution  of  currency  strategies  is  highly  uncertain.

FOREIGN  INVESTMENTS

Certain  Portfolios  may  invest  in  securities of foreign issuers. There are
certain  risks  involved  in  investing in foreign securities, including those
resulting  from  fluctuations  in  currency  exchange  rates,  devaluation  of
currencies,  future  political  or  economic  developments  and  the  possible
imposition  of  currency exchange blockages or other foreign governmental laws
or   restrictions,  reduced  availability  of  public  information  concerning
issuers,  and  the  fact  that  foreign companies are not generally subject to
uniform  accounting,  auditing  and  financial reporting standards or to other
regulatory  practices  and  requirements  comparable  to  those  applicable to
domestic companies. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies may be less
liquid  and  the  prices  more volatile than those of securities of comparable
domestic  companies.  With  respect to certain foreign countries, there is the
possibility  of  expropriation,  nationalization,  confiscatory  taxation  and
limitations  on the use or removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolios,
including  the  withholding  of  dividends.

Because  foreign  securities  generally  are  denominated and pay dividends or
interest  in  foreign  currencies,  and  the  Portfolios  hold various foreign
currencies from time to time, the value of the net assets of the Portfolios as
measured  in U.S. dollars will be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes
in  exchange rates. The cost of the Portfolio's currency exchange transactions
will  generally  be  the difference between the bid and offer spot rate of the
currency  being  purchased or sold. In order to protect against uncertainty in
the  level  of  future  foreign  currency  exchange  rates, the Portfolios are
authorized  to  enter  into  certain  foreign  currency exchange transactions.
Investors  should be aware that exchange rate movements can be significant and
can  endure  for  long  periods  of  time. Extensive research of the economic,
political and social factors that influence global markets is conducted by the
Sub-Advisers.  Particular  attention  is  given  to country-specific analysis,
reviewing  the  strengths  or  weaknesses  of a country's overall economy, the
government  policies  influencing  business conditions and the outlook for the
country's  currency.  Certain  Portfolios  are authorized to engage in foreign
currency  options,  futures,  options on futures and forward currency contract
transactions  for  hedging  and/or  other  permissible  purposes.

In  addition,  while  the  volume  of  transactions  effected on foreign stock
exchanges  has increased in recent years, in most cases it remains appreciably
below  that  of the NYSE. Accordingly, the Portfolios' foreign investments may
be  less  liquid  and  their  prices  may  be  more  volatile  than comparable
investments  in securities of U.S. companies. Moreover, the settlement periods
for  foreign  securities,  which are often longer than those for securities of
U.S. issuers, may affect portfolio liquidity. In buying and selling securities
on  foreign  exchanges, the Portfolio normally pays fixed commissions that are
generally higher than the negotiated commissions charged in the United States.
In  addition,  there is generally less governmental supervision and regulation
of  securities exchanges, brokers and issuers in foreign countries than in the
United  States.

Certain Portfolios may invest a portion of their assets in developing markets.
The  risks  of  investing  in  foreign  markets  are generally intensified for
investments  in  developing  markets.  Additional  risks  of investing in such
markets  include: (i) less social, political, and economic stability; (ii) the
smaller  size of the securities markets in such countries and the lower volume
of  trading,  which  may  result  in  a lack of liquidity and in greater price
volatility;  (iii)  certain national policies which may restrict a Portfolio's
investment  opportunities,  including restrictions on investment in issuers or
industries  deemed  sensitive  to  national  interest; and (iv) less developed
legal  structures  governing  private  or  foreign  investment or allowing for
judicial  redress  for  injury  to  private  property.

FUTURES  AND  OPTIONS  ON  FUTURES

When  deemed appropriate by its Sub-Adviser, certain Portfolios may enter into
financial  or  currency  futures and related options that are traded on a U.S.
exchange  or  board of trade or, to the extent permitted under applicable law,
on  exchanges  located  outside the United States, for hedging purposes or for
non-hedging  purposes  to  the extent permitted by applicable law. A Portfolio
may  not  enter into futures and options contracts for which aggregate initial
margin  deposits  and premiums paid for unexpired futures options entered into
for  purposes  other  than  "bona  fide  hedging"  positioning  as  defined in
regulations adopted by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission exceed 5% of
the fair market value of the Portfolio's net assets, after taking into account
unrealized  profits  and  unrealized losses on futures contracts into which it
has  entered.  With  respect  to  each  long position in a futures contract or
option thereon, the underlying commodity value of such contract will always be
covered  by  cash  and cash equivalents set aside plus accrued profits held at
the  futures  commission  merchant.

A  financial  or currency futures contract provides for the future sale by one
party  and  the  purchase  by  the  other  party  of  a  specified amount of a
particular  financial  instrument or currency (e.g.,debt security or currency)
at  a  specified  price, date, time and place. An index futures contract is an
agreement  pursuant  to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an
amount  of  cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the
close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index
contract  was  originally  written.  An option on a futures contract generally
gives  the  purchaser  the  right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a
position  in a futures contract at a specified exercise price at anytime prior
to  the  expiration  date  of  the  option.

The  purpose  of  entering into a futures contract by a Portfolio is to either
enhance  return  or to protect the Portfolio from fluctuations in the value of
its  securities  caused  by anticipated changes in interest rates, currency or
market  conditions  without  necessarily buying or selling the securities. The
use  of  futures  contracts  and options on futures contracts involves several
risks.  There  can  be  no  assurance that there will be a correlation between
price  movements in the underlying securities, currencies or index, on the one
hand,  and  price  movements  in  the  securities which are the subject of the
futures  contract  or option on futures contract, on the other hand. Positions
in  futures  contracts and options on futures contracts may be closed out only
on  the  exchange or board of trade on which they were entered into, and there
can be no assurance that an active market will exist for a particular contract
or  option  at  any  particular  time.  If  a Portfolio has hedged against the
possibility  of  an  increase  in  interest  rates  or  bond  prices adversely
affecting  the  value of securities held in its portfolio, and rates or prices
decrease  instead,  a  Portfolio  will  lose part or all of the benefit of the
increased  value  of  securities  that  it  has  hedged  because  it will have
offsetting  losses  in its futures positions. In addition, in such situations,
if  a  Portfolio had insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities to meet
daily  variation  margin requirements at a time when it may be disadvantageous
to  do  so.  These  sales  of  securities may, but will not necessarily, be at
increased prices that reflect the decline in interest rates or bond prices, as
the  case  may  be. In addition, the Portfolio would pay commissions and other
costs  in connection with such investments, which may increase the Portfolio's
expenses  and  reduce  its  return.  While  utilization  of  options,  futures
contracts and similar instruments may be advantageous to the Portfolio, if the
Portfolio's  Sub-Adviser  is  not  successful in employing such instruments in
managing  the  Portfolio's  investments,  the  Portfolio's performance will be
worse  than  if  the  Portfolio  did  not  make  such  investments.

Losses  incurred in futures contracts and options on futures contracts and the
costs  of  these transactions will adversely affect a Portfolio's performance.

GEOGRAPHICAL  AND  INDUSTRY  CONCENTRATION

Where  a Portfolio invests at least 25% of its assets in Bank Obligations, the
Portfolio's  investments  may be subject to greater risk than a Portfolio that
does  not concentrate in the banking industry. In particular, Bank Obligations
may  be subject to the risks associated with interest rate volatility, changes
in  federal and state laws and regulations governing banking and the inability
of  borrowers  to  pay  principal  and interest when due. In addition, foreign
banks  present  the risks of investing in foreign securities generally and are
not  subject to reserve requirements and other regulations comparable to those
of  U.S.  Banks.

GOVERNMENT  STRIPPED  MORTGAGE-BACKED  SECURITIES

   Certain  Portfolios  may  invest  in  Government  Stripped  Mortgage-Backed
Securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by  GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These securities
represent    beneficial  ownership  interests  in  either  periodic  principal
distributions  ("principal-only")  or interest distributions ("interest-only")
on mortgage-backed certificates issued by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC, as the case may
be.  The  certificates  underlying  the  Government  Stripped  Mortgage-Backed
Securities  represent  all  or  part  of  the  beneficial interest in pools of
mortgage  loans.  The  Portfolios  will  invest  in  interest-only  Government
Stripped  Mortgage-Backed  Securities  in order to enhance yield or to benefit
from  anticipated  appreciation  in  value of the securities at times when the
appropriate  Sub-Adviser  believes  that  interest rates will remain stable or
increase.  In  periods  of  rising  interest rates, the value of interest-only
Government  Stripped  Mortgage-Backed  Securities  may be expected to increase
because  of  the  diminished expectation that the underlying mortgages will be
prepaid. In this situation the expected increase in the value of interest-only
Government  Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities may offset all or a portion of
any  decline in value of the portfolio securities of the Portfolios. Investing
in  Government Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities involves the risks normally
associated  with  investing in mortgage-backed securities issued by government
or  government-related  entities.  See  "Mortgage-Backed Securities" below. In
addition,  the  yields on interest-only and principal-only Government Stripped
Mortgage-Backed    Securities   are  extremely  sensitive  to  the  prepayment
experience  on  the mortgage loans underlying the certificates collateralizing
the securities. If a decline in the level of prevailing interest rates results
in  a  rate of principal prepayments higher than anticipated, distributions of
principal  will  be  accelerated,  thereby  reducing  the yield to maturity on
Stripped    Mortgage-Backed    Securities    and    increasing  the  yield  to
maturity  on
principal-only  Government Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities. Conversely, if
an  increase  in  the  level of prevailing interest rates results in a rate of
principal  prepayments lower than anticipated, distributions of principal will
be  deferred,  thereby  increasing  the  yield  to  maturity  on interest-only
Government  Stripped  Mortgage-Backed  Securities  and decreasing the yield to
maturity  on  principal-only  Government  Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities.
Sufficiently  high  prepayment  rates  could result in the Portfolio not fully
recovering  its  initial  investment  in  an interest-only Government Stripped
Mortgage-Backed  Security.  Government Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities are
currently  traded  in  an  over-the-counter market maintained by several large
investment banking firms. There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will be
able  to effect a trade of a Government Stripped Mortgage-Backed Security at a
time  when it wishes to do so. The Portfolios will acquire Government Stripped
Mortgage-Backed   Securities  only  if  a  liquid  secondary  market  for  the
securities  exists  at  the  time  of  acquisition.

INTEREST  RATE  TRANSACTIONS

Certain  Portfolios  may engage in certain Interest Rate Transactions, such as
swaps, caps, floors and collars. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange with
another  party of commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of
floating  rate  payments for fixed rate payments). The purchase of an interest
rate  cap entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index exceeds
a  predetermined  interest rate, to receive payments of interest on a notional
principal  amount  from the party selling such interest rate cap. The purchase
of  an  interest  rate  floor  entitles  the  purchaser,  to the extent that a
specified index falls below a predetermined interest rate, to receive payments
of  interest  on  a  notional  principal  amount  from  the party selling such
interest  rate  floor.  An  interest  rate  collar  combines  the  elements of
purchasing  a cap and selling a floor. The collar protects against an interest
rate  rise  above  the maximum amount but gives up the benefits of an interest
rate  decline  below the minimum amount. The net amount of the excess, if any,
of  a  Portfolio's  obligations  over  its  entitlements  with respect to each
interest  rate  swap will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or
liquid  securities  having  an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the
accrued  excess  will  be  maintained in a segregated account with the Trust's
custodian.  If  there  is a default by the other party to the transaction, the
Portfolio will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to
the  transactions.

ILLIQUID  SECURITIES

Up to 15% (10% for Credit Suisse International Equity Portfolio and for Global
Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio)  of  the  net assets of a Portfolio may be
invested  in  securities  that  are  not  readily marketable, including, where
applicable:  (1)  Repurchase  Agreements  with  maturities  greater than seven
calendar  days;  (2)  time deposits maturing in more than seven calendar days;
(3)  to  the  extent  a  liquid  secondary  market  does  not  exist  for  the
instruments,  futures  contracts  and  options  thereon (except for the Global
Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio);  (4) certain over-the-counter options, as
described  below and in the SAI; (5) certain variable rate demand notes having
a demand period of more than seven days; and (6) securities the disposition of
which  is  restricted  under  Federal  securities  laws  (excluding  Rule 144A
Securities,  described below). The Portfolios will not include for purposes of
the  restrictions  on  illiquid  investments, securities sold pursuant to Rule
144A  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, so long as such securities
meet  liquidity guidelines established by the Trust's Board of Trustees. Under
Rule  144A,  securities  which  would  otherwise  be restricted may be sold by
persons  other  than  issuers  or  dealers  to qualified institutional buyers.

INVESTMENT  COMPANIES

When  a  Portfolio's  Sub-Adviser believes that it would be beneficial for the
Portfolio  and appropriate under the circumstances, the Sub-Adviser may invest
up  to  10%  of  the  Portfolio's  assets  in securities of mutual funds. As a
shareholder in any such mutual fund, the Portfolio will bear its ratable share
of  the  mutual  fund's  expenses,  including management fees, and will remain
subject  to  the  Portfolio's advisory and administration fees with respect to
the  assets  so  invested.

LEASE  OBLIGATION  BONDS

Lease  Obligation  Bonds  are  mortgages  on a facility that is secured by the
facility  and  are  paid  by  a  lessee over a long term. The rental stream to
service  the  debt as well as the mortgage are held by a collateral trustee on
behalf  of  the public bondholders. The primary risk of such instrument is the
risk  of  default.  Under  the  lease indenture, the failure to pay rent is an
event  of default. The remedy to cure default is to rescind the lease and sell
the  assets.  If  the  lease  obligation  is  not readily marketable or market
quotations  are  not readily available, such lease obligations will be subject
to  a  Portfolio's  limit  on  Illiquid  Securities.

LENDING  OF  SECURITIES

All of the Portfolios have the ability to lend portfolio securities to brokers
and  other financial organizations. By lending its securities, a Portfolio can
increase its income by continuing to receive interest on the loaned securities
as  well  as by either investing the cash collateral in short-term instruments
or  obtaining  yield  in  the  form of interest paid by the borrower when U.S.
Government  Securities  are used as collateral. These loans, if and when made,
may    not    exceed   20%  (except  10%  with respect to the EliteValue Asset
Allocation  Portfolio,  15%  with  respect  to the Credit Suisse International
Equity  Portfolio and 33 1/3% with respect to the Global Advisors Money Market
Portfolio)  of  a  Portfolio's total assets taken at value. Loans of portfolio
securities by a Portfolio will be collateralized by cash, letters of credit or
U.S.  Government  Securities  that are maintained at all times in an amount at
least  equal to the current market value of the loaned securities. Any gain or
loss  in the market price of the securities loaned that might occur during the
term  of  the  loan  would  be for the account of the Portfolio involved. Each
Portfolio's  Sub-Adviser will monitor on an ongoing basis the creditworthiness
of  the  institutions  to  which  the  Portfolio  lends  securities.

LOWER-RATED  SECURITIES

Certain  Portfolios  may invest in debt securities rated lower than BBB by S&P
or  Baa by Moody's, or of equivalent quality as determined by the Sub-Adviser.
Securities  rated  BB,  Ba  or lower are commonly referred to as "junk bonds."

Securities  rated  below  investment-grade  as  well as unrated securities are
often  considered to be speculative and usually entail greater risk (including
the  possibility  of  default  or  bankruptcy of the issuers). Such securities
generally  involve  greater price volatility and risk of principal and income,
and  may be less liquid than securities in higher-rated categories. Both price
volatility  and  illiquidity  may make it difficult for the Portfolio to value
certain  of  these  securities  at  certain  times and these securities may be
difficult to sell under certain market conditions. Prices for securities rated
below    investment-grade  may  be  affected  by  legislative  and  regulatory
developments.  (See  SAI  for additional information pertaining to lower-rated
securities  including  risks.)

MORTGAGE-BACKED  SECURITIES

Certain  Portfolios  may invest in Mortgage-Backed Securities, which represent
an  interest  in  a  pool of mortgage loans. The primary government issuers or
guarantors    of    Mortgage-Backed  Securities  are  GNMA,  FHMA  and  FHLMC.
Mortgage-Backed  Securities  generally provide a monthly payment consisting of
interest  and  principal  payments.  Additional  payments  may  be made out of
unscheduled  repayments of principal resulting from the sale of the underlying
residential  property,  refinancing  or foreclosure, net of fees or costs that
may  be  incurred.  Prepayments of principal on Mortgage-Backed Securities may
tend  to  increase  due to refinancing of mortgages as interest rates decline.
Prompt  payment  of  principal  and  interest  on  GNMA  mortgage pass-through
certificates  is  backed  by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
FNMA  guaranteed  mortgage  pass-through  certificates and FHLMC participation
certificates are solely the obligations of those entities but are supported by
the  discretionary  authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agencies'
obligations.

If Mortgage-Backed Securities are purchased at a premium, faster than expected
prepayments  will  reduce  yield  to  maturity,  while  slower  than  expected
prepayments  will  increase  yield to maturity. Conversely, if Mortgage-Backed
Securities  are purchased at a discount, faster than expected prepayments will
increase yield to maturity, while slower than expected prepayments will reduce
yield  to  maturity.  Accelerated  prepayments  on  securities  purchased at a
premium  also  impose  a risk of loss of principal because the premium may not
have  been  fully  amortized  at  the  time  the principal is prepaid in full.
Because  of  the  reinvestment  of  prepayments of principal at current rates,
Mortgage-Backed  Securities  may  be  less  effective  than  Treasury bonds of
similar  maturity  at  maintaining yields during periods of declining interest
rates.  When  interest  rates rise, the value and liquidity of Mortgage-Backed
Securities  may  decline sharply and generally will decline more than would be
the  case  with  other  fixed-income  securities; however, when interest rates
decline,  the  value of Mortgage-Backed Securities may not increase as much as
other  fixed-income  securities  due to the prepayment feature. Certain market
conditions  may  result  in  greater than expected volatility in the prices of
Mortgage-Backed  Securities.  For  example,  in  periods  of supply and demand
imbalances  in  the  market  for  such  securities  and/or in periods of sharp
interest   rate  movements,  the  prices  of  Mortgage-Backed  Securities  may
fluctuate  to  a  greater  extent  than  would  be expected from interest rate
movements  alone.

To  the  extent  that  a  Portfolio invests in adjustable rate Mortgage-Backed
Securities, the Portfolio will not benefit from increases in interest rates to
the  extent that interest rates rise to the point where they cause the current
coupon  of  the  underlying  adjustable  rate  mortgages to exceed any maximum
allowable  annual  or  lifetime reset limits (or "cap rates") for a particular
mortgage.  In  this  event,  the  value of the Mortgage-Backed Securities in a
Portfolio  would  likely  decrease.  Also, a Portfolio's net asset value could
vary  to the extent that current yields on adjustable rate mortgage securities
are  different  than market yields during interim periods between coupon reset
dates  or  if  the  timing of changes to the index upon which the rate for the
underlying  mortgages  is  based  lags  behind changes in market rates. During
periods  of  declining  interest  rates,  income  to  a Portfolio derived from
adjustable  rate  mortgages  which  remain in a mortgage pool will decrease in
contrast  to  the  income on fixed rate mortgages, which will remain constant.
Adjustable  rate  mortgages also have less potential for appreciation in value
as  interest  rates  decline  than  do  fixed  rate  investments.

COLLATERALIZED  MORTGAGE  OBLIGATIONS  AND  MULTICLASS PASS-THROUGH SECURITIES

A  Portfolio may invest in collateralized mortgage obligations. Collateralized
mortgage obligations or "CMOs" are debt obligations collateralized by mortgage
loans  or mortgage pass-through securities. Typically, CMOs are collateralized
by  Ginnie  Mae,  Fannie  Mae  or  Freddie  Mac  Certificates, but also may be
collateralized  by  whole  loans  or  private  pass-throughs  (such collateral
collectively   hereinafter  referred  to  as  "Mortgage  Assets").  Multiclass
pass-through  securities are interests in a trust composed of Mortgage Assets.
Unless  the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to CMOs include
multiclass  pass-through  securities. Payments of principal and of interest on
the Mortgage Assets, and any reinvestment income thereon, provide the funds to
pay debt service on the CMOs or make scheduled distributions on the multiclass
pass-through  securities.  CMOs may be issued by agencies or instrumentalities
of  the  U.S.  Government,  or  by  private  originators  of, or investors in,
mortgage  loans,  including  savings  and  loan  associations, mortgage banks,
commercial  banks,  investment  banks  and special purpose subsidiaries of the
foregoing.  CMOs  acquired  by the Salomon Brothers U.S. Government Securities
Portfolio  will  be  limited  to  those  issued  or  guaranteed by agencies or
instrumentalities  of the U.S. Government and, if available in the future, the
U.S.  Government.

In  a  CMO,  a  series of bonds or certificates is issued in multiple classes.
Each class of CMOs, often referred to as a "tranche," is issued at a specified
fixed  or floating coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution
date.  Principal  prepayments  on the Mortgage Assets may cause the CMOs to be
retired    substantially   earlier  than  their  stated  maturities  or  final
distribution  dates. Interest is paid or accrues on all classes of the CMOs on
a  monthly,  quarterly  or semi-annual basis. The principal of and interest on
the  Mortgage Assets may be allocated among the several classes of a series of
a  CMO in innumerable ways. In one structure, payments of principal, including
any  principal  prepayments, on the Mortgage Assets are applied to the classes
of  a  CMO  in  the  order  of  their  respective  stated  maturities or final
distribution  dates, so that no payment of principal will be made on any class
of  CMOs  until  all  other classes having an earlier stated maturity or final
distribution date have been paid in full. The Salomon Brothers U.S. Government
Securities  Portfolio  has no present intention to invest in CMO residuals. As
market  conditions  change,  and  particularly  during  periods  of  rapid  or
unanticipated  changes in market interest rates, the attractiveness of the CMO
classes and the ability of the structure to provide the anticipated investment
characteristics  may  be  significantly  reduced.  Such  changes can result in
volatility  in  the  market value, and in some instances reduced liquidity, of
the  CMO  class.

A  Portfolio  may  also invest in, among others, parallel pay CMOs and Planned
Amortization  Class  CMOs  ("PAC  Bonds"). Parallel pay CMOs are structured to
provide  payments  of  principal  on each payment date to more than one class.
These  simultaneous  payments are taken into account in calculating the stated
maturity  date  or final distribution date of each class, which, as with other
CMO  structures,  must  be  retired  by  its  stated  maturity date or a final
distribution  date  but  may  be  retired earlier. PAC Bonds are a type of CMO
tranche  or  series  designed  to  provide  relatively predictable payments of
principal  provided that, among other things, the actual prepayment experience
on  the  underlying  mortgage  loans  falls  within a predefined range. If the
actual  prepayment  experience  on  the underlying mortgage loans is at a rate
faster  or  slower  than  the  predefined  range,  or if deviations from other
assumptions  occur, principal payments on the PAC Bond may be earlier or later
than predicted. The magnitude of the predefined range varies from one PAC Bond
to  another;  a  narrower range increases the risk that prepayments on the PAC
Bond will be greater or smaller than predicted. Because of these features, PAC
Bonds  generally  are  less  subject to the risks of prepayment than are other
types  of  Mortgage-Backed  Securities.

NEW  ISSUERS

A  Portfolio  may  invest  up to 5% of its assets in the securities of issuers
which  have  been  in  continuous  operation  for  less  than  three  years.

OPTIONS  ON  SECURITIES

      OPTION PURCHASE. Certain Portfolios may purchase put and call options on
portfolio  securities  in  which  they may invest that are traded on a U.S. or
foreign securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market. A Portfolio may
utilize  up  to  10%  of  its  assets  to  purchase  put  options on portfolio
securities  and  may  do  so  at  or about the same time that it purchases the
underlying  security  or at a later time and may also utilize up to 10% of its
assets  to  purchase  call  options on securities in which it is authorized to
invest.  By  buying  a  put,  the  Portfolios  limit their risk of loss from a
decline  in  the  market  value  of  the  security  until the put expires. Any
appreciation  in  the  value  of  the  underlying  security,  however, will be
partially  offset by the amount of the premium paid for the put option and any
related  transaction  costs. Call options may be purchased by the Portfolio in
order  to  acquire the underlying securities for the Portfolio at a price that
avoids  any  additional  cost that would result from a substantial increase in
the  market value of a security. The Portfolios may also purchase call options
to  increase  their return to investors at a time when the call is expected to
increase  in value due to anticipated appreciation of the underlying security.
Prior  to  their  expiration, put and call options may be sold in closing sale
transactions (sales by the Portfolio, prior to the exercise of options that it
has  purchased,  of  options  of the same series), and profit or loss from the
sale  will  depend  on  whether  the  amount received is more or less than the
premium  paid  for  the  option,  plus  the  related  transaction  costs.

     COVERED OPTION WRITING. Certain Portfolios may write put and call options
on  securities  for hedging purposes. The Portfolios realize fees (referred to
as  "premiums") for granting the rights evidenced by the options. A put option
embodies  the  right  of  its  purchaser to compel the writer of the option to
purchase from the option holder an underlying security at a specified price at
anytime  during  the  option  period.  In contrast, a call option embodies the
right  of  its  purchaser  to  compel  the writer of the option to sell to the
option  holder  an  underlying security at a specified price at anytime during
the  option  period.

Upon  the  exercise  of a put option written by a Portfolio, the Portfolio may
suffer a loss equal to the difference between the price at which the Portfolio
is  required  to  purchase the underlying security and its market value at the
time of the option exercise, less the premium received for writing the option.
Upon the exercise of a call option written by the Portfolio, the Portfolio may
suffer  a  loss equal to the excess of the security's market value at the time
of  the option exercise over the Portfolio's acquisition cost of the security,
less  the  premium  received  for  writing  the  option.

The  Portfolios  will  comply  with regulatory requirements of the SEC and the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission with respect to coverage of options and
futures positions by registered investment companies and, if the guidelines so
require,  will set aside cash and/or appropriate liquid assets in a segregated
custodial  account  in  the amount prescribed. Securities held in a segregated
account  cannot  be sold while the futures or options position is outstanding,
unless  replaced  with  other  permissible  assets.  As  a  result, there is a
possibility that the segregation of a large percentage of a Portfolio's assets
may  force  the  Portfolio  to  close out futures and options positions and/or
liquidate    other    portfolio    securities,  any  of  which  may  occur  at
disadvantageous prices, in order for the Portfolio to meet redemption requests
or  other  current  obligations.

The  principal reason for writing covered call and put options on a securities
portfolio is to attempt to realize, through the receipt of premiums, a greater
return  than  would  be  realized  on  the  securities  alone. In return for a
premium,  the  writer  of  a  covered  call  option forfeits the rights to any
appreciation  in  the  value of the underlying security above the strike price
for  the  life  of  the option (or until a closing purchase transaction can be
effected).  Nevertheless, the call writer retains the risk of a decline in the
price  of the underlying security. Similarly, the principal reason for writing
covered  put  options is to realize income in the form of premiums. The writer
of  the  covered  put option accepts the risk of a decline in the price of the
underlying  security. The size of the premiums that the Portfolios may receive
may  be  adversely  affected  as new or existing institutions, including other
investment  companies,  engage in or increase their option writing activities.

The  Portfolios  may  engage  in  closing  purchase  transactions to realize a
profit,  to prevent an underlying security from being called or put or, in the
case  of a call option, to unfreeze an underlying security (thereby permitting
its  sale  or  the  writing  of  a  new  option  on  the security prior to the
outstanding  option's  expiration).  To effect a closing purchase transaction,
the  Portfolios  would  purchase,  prior to the holder's exercise of an option
that  the Portfolio has written, an option of the same series as that on which
the  Portfolio  desires  to  terminate  its  obligation. The obligation of the
Portfolio under an option that it has written would be terminated by a closing
purchase  transaction,  but the Portfolio would not be deemed to own an option
as the result of the transaction. There can be no assurance that the Portfolio
will  be able to effect closing purchase transactions at a time when it wishes
to  do so. The ability of the Portfolio to engage in closing transactions with
respect  to  options  depends  on  the existence of a liquid secondary market.
While  the  Portfolio  will  generally purchase or write options only if there
appears to be a liquid secondary market for the options purchased or sold, for
some  options  no  such  secondary market may exist or the market may cease to
exist.  To  facilitate  closing  purchase transactions, however, the Portfolio
will  ordinarily  write  options  only  if  a secondary market for the options
exists  on  a  U.S.  securities  exchange  or  in the over-the-counter market.

Option  writing  for  the  Portfolios  may be limited by position and exercise
limits  established  by U.S. securities exchanges and the National Association
of  Securities  Dealers, Inc. and by requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
of  1986,  as amended, for qualification as a regulated investment company. In
addition  to  writing covered put and call options to generate current income,
the  Portfolios  may  enter  into  options  transactions  as  hedges to reduce
investment  risk,  generally  by  making an investment expected to move in the
opposite  direction  of  a portfolio position. A hedge is designed to offset a
loss  on  a  portfolio position with a gain on the hedge position; at the same
time,  however,  a  properly  correlated  hedge  will  result in a gain on the
portfolio  position's  being  offset  by  a  loss  on  the hedge position. The
Portfolios  bear  the risk that the prices of the securities being hedged will
not  move  in the same amount as the hedge. A Portfolio will engage in hedging
transactions  only when deemed advisable by its Sub-Adviser. Successful use by
a  Portfolio  of options will depend on its Sub-Adviser's ability to correctly
predict  movements in the direction of the stock underlying the option used as
a  hedge.  Losses  incurred  in  hedging  transactions  and the costs of these
transactions  will  adversely  affect  the  Portfolio's  performance.

OPTIONS  ON  FOREIGN  CURRENCIES

A  Portfolio may purchase and write put and call options on foreign currencies
for  the  purpose  of  hedging  against  declines  in the U.S. dollar value of
foreign currency-denominated portfolio securities and against increases in the
U.S.  dollar  cost  of such securities to be acquired. Generally, transactions
relating  to  Options  on  Foreign  Currencies  occur  in the over-the-counter
market.  As  in the case of other kinds of options, however, the writing of an
option  on  a  foreign  currency  constitutes  only a partial hedge, up to the
amount  of  the  premium  received,  and  the  Portfolio  could be required to
purchase or sell foreign currencies at disadvantageous exchange rates, thereby
incurring  losses.  The  purchase  of  an  option  on  a  foreign currency may
constitute   an  effective  hedge  against  fluctuations  in  exchange  rates,
although,  in the event of rate movements adverse to the Portfolio's position,
it  may  forfeit  the  entire  amount  of the premium plus related transaction
costs.   There  is  no  specific  percentage  limitation  on  the  Portfolio's
investments  in  Options  on  Foreign  Currencies.  See  the  SAI  for further
discussion  of  the  use, risks and costs of Options on Foreign Currencies and
Over  the  Counter  Options.

OPTIONS  ON  INDEXES

A  Portfolio  may,  subject to applicable securities regulations, purchase and
write  put  and  call  options  on  stock  and fixed- income indexes listed on
foreign and domestic stock exchanges. A stock index fluctuates with changes in
the  market  values  of  the  stocks  included  in  the index. An example of a
domestic  stock  index is the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index. Examples of
foreign  stock indexes are the Canadian Market Portfolio Index (Montreal Stock
Exchange),  The  Financial Times -- Stock Exchange 100 (London Stock Exchange)
and   the  Toronto  Stock  Exchange  Composite  300  (Toronto Stock Exchange).
Examples  of fixed-income indexes include the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond
Index  and  the  Lehman Treasury Bond Index.  Options on Indexes are generally
similar  to  options  on  securities except that the delivery requirements are
different.  Instead of giving the right to take or make delivery of a security
at  a  specified  price,  an  option on an index gives the holder the right to
receive  a  cash "exercise settlement amount" equal to (a) the amount, if any,
by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds (in the case of a put)
or  is  less  than (in the case of a call) the closing value of the underlying
index  on  the date of exercise, multiplied by (b) a fixed "index multiplier."
Receipt  of  this  cash amount will depend upon the closing level of the index
upon  which  the option is based being greater than, in the case of a call, or
less  than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option. The amount
of cash received will be equal to such difference between the closing price of
the  index  and  the  exercise  price  of the option expressed in dollars or a
foreign  currency,  as the case may be, times a specified multiple. The writer
of  the  option  is  obligated,  in return for the premium received, to make a
delivery  of  this amount. The writer may offset its position in index options
prior  to  expiration by entering into a closing transaction on an exchange or
the  option  may  expire  unexercised.

The effectiveness of purchasing or writing options as a hedging technique will
depend  upon  the  extent  to  which  price  movements  in  the portion of the
securities  portfolio  of  a  Portfolio  correlate with price movements of the
stock  index  selected.  Because  the  value  of  an index option depends upon
movements  in  the  level  of  the index rather than the price of a particular
stock,  whether  a  Portfolio will realize a gain or loss from the purchase or
writing  of  options  on an index depends upon movements in the level of stock
prices in the stock market generally or, in the case of certain indexes, in an
industry or market segment, rather than movements in the price of a particular
stock.  Accordingly,  successful use of Options on Indexes by a Portfolio will
be  subject to its Sub-Adviser's ability to predict correctly movements in the
direction  of  the market generally or of a particular industry. This requires
different  skills  and  techniques  than  predicting  changes  in the price of
individual  stocks.

Options on securities indexes entail risks in addition to the risks of options
on  securities.  Because  exchange trading of options on securities indexes is
relatively  new,  the  absence  of  a  liquid secondary market to close out an
option  position  is more likely to occur, although a Portfolio generally will
only  purchase  or write such an option if the Sub-Adviser believes the option
can be closed out. Because options on securities indexes require settlement in
cash,  a  Portfolio  may  be  forced to liquidate portfolio securities to meet
settlement  obligations.  A  Portfolio  will  engage  in  stock  index options
transactions only when determined by its Sub-Adviser to be consistent with its
efforts to control risk. There can be no assurance that such judgement will be
accurate  or  that  the  use of these portfolio strategies will be successful.

OVER  THE  COUNTER  OPTIONS

Certain  Portfolios  may  write  or  purchase  options in privately negotiated
domestic  or  foreign transactions ("OTC Options"), as well as exchange traded
or  "listed" options. OTC Options can be closed out only by agreement with the
other  party  to  the  transaction,  and  thus  any OTC Options purchased by a
Portfolio  will  be  considered an illiquid security. In addition, certain OTC
Options on foreign currencies are traded through financial institutions acting
as  market  makers  in  such  options  and  the  underlying  currencies.

The  staff  of  the SEC has taken the position that purchased over-the-counter
options and assets used to cover written over-the-counter options are illiquid
and,  therefore,  together  with  other illiquid securities, cannot exceed the
maximum  percentage of a Portfolio's assets allowed to be invested in illiquid
securities  (the  "illiquidity  ceiling").  (See "Illiquid Securities" in this
Appendix.)    Except  as  provided  below,  the  Portfolios  intend  to  write
over-the-counter  options only with primary U.S. Government securities dealers
recognized  by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Also, the contracts which
such Portfolios have in place with such primary dealers will provide that each
Portfolio has the absolute right to repurchase any option it writes at anytime
at a price which represents the fair market value, as determined in good faith
through  negotiation  between the parties, but which in no event will exceed a
price  determined pursuant to a formula in the contract. Although the specific
formula may vary between contracts with different primary dealers, the formula
will generally be based on a multiple of the premium received by the Portfolio
for  writing  the  option,  plus the amount, if any, of the option's intrinsic
value (i.e., the amount that the option is in the money). The formula may also
include  a  factor  to  account  for  the  difference between the price of the
security  and  the  strike  price  of  the  option  if  the  option is written
out-of-the-money. A Portfolio will treat all or a part of the formula price as
illiquid  for purposes of the illiquidity ceiling. Certain Portfolios may also
write  over-the-counter  options  with  nonprimary  dealers, including foreign
dealers, and will treat the assets used to cover these options as illiquid for
purposes  of  such  illiquidity  ceiling.

OTC  Options entail risks in addition to the risks of exchange traded options.
Exchange  traded  options  are  in  effect  guaranteed by the Options Clearing
Corporation,  while  a Portfolio relies on the party from whom it purchases an
OTC Option to perform if the Portfolio exercises the option. With OTC Options,
if  the transacting dealer fails to make or take delivery of the securities or
amount  of foreign currency underlying an option it has written, in accordance
with  the  terms  of that option, the Portfolio will lose the premium paid for
the option as well as any anticipated benefit of the transaction. Furthermore,
OTC  Options  are  less  liquid  than  exchange  traded  options.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS

Repurchase  Agreements  are agreements to purchase underlying debt obligations
from  financial institutions, such as banks and broker-dealers, subject to the
seller's  agreement  to  repurchase the obligations at an established time and
price.  The  collateral  for  such  Repurchase  Agreements will be held by the
Portfolio's  custodian  or  a duly appointed sub-custodian. The Portfolio will
enter  into Repurchase Agreements only with banks and broker-dealers that have
been  determined  to  be  creditworthy  by the Trust's Board of Trustees under
criteria established in consultation with the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The
seller under a Repurchase Agreement would be required to maintain the value of
the  obligations  subject  to  the  Repurchase  Agreement at not less than the
repurchase  price.  Default by the seller would, however, expose the Portfolio
to    possible    loss because of adverse market action or delay in connection
with
the  disposition  of  the  underlying  obligations. In addition, if bankruptcy
proceedings  are  commenced with respect to the seller of the obligations, the
Portfolio  may  be  delayed  or limited in its ability to sell the collateral.

REVERSE  REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS

Reverse  Repurchase  Agreements  are  the same as repurchase agreements except
that,    in    this   instance,  the  Portfolios  would  assume  the  role  of
seller/borrower  in  the  transaction. The Portfolios will maintain segregated
accounts  with the Custodian consisting of U.S. Government Securities, cash or
money  market  instruments  that  at all times are in an amount equal to their
obligations under Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Reverse Repurchase Agreements
involve  the  risk that the market value of the securities sold by a Portfolio
may  decline below the repurchase price of the securities and, if the proceeds
from  the  reverse  repurchase  agreement are invested in securities, that the
market  value of the securities sold may decline below the repurchase price of
the    securities   sold.  Each  Portfolio's  Sub-Adviser,  acting  under  the
supervision  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  reviews  on  an  ongoing basis the
creditworthiness  of  the parties with which it enters into Reverse Repurchase
Agreements.   Under  the  1940  Act,  Reverse  Repurchase  Agreements  may  be
considered  borrowings  by  the  seller.  Whenever  borrowings by a Portfolio,
including  Reverse  Repurchase  Agreements,  exceed  5%  of  the  value  of  a
Portfolio's  total  assets,  the  Portfolio  will not purchase any securities.


SMALL  COMPANIES

Certain  Portfolios  may  invest  in  small  companies,  some  of which may be
unseasoned. While smaller companies generally have potential for rapid growth,
investments in such companies often involve higher risks because the companies
may    lack    the    management   experience,  financial  resources,  product
diversification  and  competitive  strengths of larger corporations. Moreover,
the  markets  for  the shares of such companies typically are less liquid than
those  for  the  shares  of  larger  companies.

STRATEGIC  TRANSACTIONS

Subject  to  the  investment  limitations  and  restrictions  for  each of the
Portfolios as stated elsewhere in the Prospectus and SAI of the Trust, each of
the  Portfolios  may,  but  is  not  required  to,  utilize various investment
strategies  as  described  in  this Appendix to hedge various market risks, to
manage  the  effective  maturity or duration of fixed-income securities, or to
seek  potentially  higher  returns. Utilizing these investment strategies, the
Portfolio  may  purchase  and  sell,  to  the  extent not otherwise limited or
restricted  for  such  Portfolio, exchange-listed and over-the-counter put and
call  options  on  securities,  equity  and  fixed-income  indexes  and  other
financial  instruments;  purchase  and  sell  financial  futures contracts and
options  thereon; enter into various Interest Rate Transactions such as swaps,
caps,  floors or collars; and enter into various currency transactions such as
currency  forward  contracts,  currency  futures  contracts, currency swaps or
options  on  currencies  or  currency futures (collectively, all the above are
called  "Strategic  Transactions").

Strategic  Transactions  may  be  used  to attempt to protect against possible
changes  in  the market value of securities held in or to be purchased for the
Portfolio's  portfolio  resulting from securities markets or currency exchange
rate fluctuations, to protect the Portfolio's unrealized gains in the value of
its  portfolio  securities,  to  facilitate  the  sale  of such securities for
investment  purposes,  to  manage  the  effective  maturity or duration of the
Portfolio's  portfolio,  or to establish a position in the derivatives markets
as  a  temporary  substitute  for purchasing or selling particular securities.
Some  Strategic  Transactions  may  also  be  used  to seek potentially higher
returns,  although  no  more than 5% of the Portfolio's assets will be used as
the  initial  margin  or  purchase price of options for Strategic Transactions
entered  into for purposes other than "bona fide hedging" positions as defined
in  the regulations adopted by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Any
or  all  of these investment techniques may be used at any time, as use of any
Strategic  Transaction  is  a function of numerous variables, including market
conditions.    The  ability  of  the  Portfolio  to  utilize  these  Strategic
Transactions successfully will depend on the Sub-Adviser's ability to predict,
which cannot be assured, pertinent market movements. The Portfolio will comply
with applicable regulatory requirements when utilizing Strategic Transactions.
Strategic Transactions involving financial futures and options thereon will be
purchased, sold or entered into only for bona fide hedging, risk management or
portfolio  management  purposes.

U.S.  GOVERNMENT  SECURITIES

U.S.  Government  Securities  include  direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury
(such as U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds) and obligations directly issued
or    guaranteed  by  U.S.  Government  agencies  or  instrumentalities.  Some
obligations  issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S.
Government  are  backed  by  the  full faith and credit of the U.S. Government
(such as GNMA certificates). Others are backed only by the right of the issuer
to  borrow  from  the  U.S.  Treasury (such as securities of Federal Home Loan
Banks)  and  still others are backed only by the credit of the instrumentality
(such  as FNMA and FHLMC certificates). Guarantees of principal by agencies or
instrumentalities  of the U.S. Government may be a guarantee of payment at the
maturity of the obligation so that in the event of a default prior to maturity
there  might  not be a market and thus no means of realizing on the obligation
prior  to  maturity.  Guarantees  as  to  the  timely payment of principal and
interest  do  not  extend to the value or yield of these securities nor to the
value  of  a  Portfolio's  shares.

WHEN-ISSUED  SECURITIES  AND  DELAYED-DELIVERY  TRANSACTIONS

In  order  to secure yields or prices deemed advantageous at the time, certain
Portfolios    may    purchase  or  sell  securities  on  a  when-issued  or  a
delayed-delivery    basis.  The  Portfolios  will  enter  into  a  when-issued
transaction  for the purpose of acquiring portfolio securities and not for the
purpose  of  leverage,  although  a  Portfolio  may  dispose  of a when-issued
security or forward commitment prior to settlement if it is deemed appropriate
to  do  so. In such transactions, delivery of the securities occurs beyond the
normal  settlement  periods,  but  no  payment  or delivery is made by, and no
interest accrues to, the Portfolios prior to the actual delivery or payment by
the  other  party  to  the  transaction.  Due  to fluctuations in the value of
securities  purchased on a when-issued or a delayed-delivery basis, the yields
obtained  on  such securities may be higher or lower than the yields available
in  the market on the dates when the investments are actually delivered to the
buyers. Similarly, the sale of securities for delayed delivery can involve the
risk  that  the  prices  available  in  the  market  when delivery is made may
actually  be  higher  than  those  obtained  in  the  transaction  itself. The
Portfolios  will  establish a segregated account with the Custodian consisting
of cash, U.S. Government securities or other high-grade debt obligations in an
amount    equal   to  the  amount  of  its  when-issued  and  delayed-delivery
commitments.

THE  "TRUST"  --  WNL  Series  Trust.

"ADVISER"  --  WNL  Investment Advisory Services, Inc., the Trust's investment
adviser.

               INVESTMENT  OBJECTIVES  AND  POLICIES  OF  THE  TRUST

The  Trust currently offers shares of beneficial interest of eight series (the
"Portfolios") with separate investment objectives and policies. The investment
objectives  and  policies of each of the Portfolios of the Trust are described
in  the  Prospectus. This Statement contains additional information concerning
certain  investment  practices  and  investment  restrictions  of  the  Trust.

Except  as  described  below  under  "Investment Restrictions," the investment
objectives  and policies described in the Prospectus and in this Statement are
not  fundamental,  and  the  Trustees may change the investment objectives and
policies  of  a  Portfolio  without an affirmative vote of shareholders of the
Portfolio.

Except  as  otherwise  noted  below,  the  following  descriptions  of certain
investment  policies  and  techniques are applicable to all of the Portfolios.

OPTIONS

Each  Portfolio  other  than  the  Global  Advisors Money Market Portfolio may
purchase put and call options on portfolio securities in which they may invest
that  are  traded  on  a  U.S.  or  foreign  securities  exchange  or  in  the
over-the-counter  market.

     COVERED CALL OPTIONS. Each Portfolio other than the Global Advisors Money
Market  Portfolio  may  write  covered call options on portfolio securities to
realize a greater current return through the receipt of premiums than it would
realize  on  portfolio  securities alone. Such option transactions may also be
used as a limited form of hedging against a decline in the price of securities
owned  by  the  Portfolio.

A call option gives the holder the right to purchase, and obligates the writer
to  sell,  a  security at the exercise price at any time before the expiration
date.  A  call option is "covered" if the writer, at all times while obligated
as  a  writer, either owns the underlying securities (or comparable securities
satisfying  the  cover  requirements  of the securities exchanges), or has the
right  to  acquire  such  securities through immediate conversion of portfolio
securities.

In  return  for the premium received when it writes a covered call option, the
Portfolio  gives  up some or all of the opportunity to profit from an increase
in the market price of the securities covering the call option during the life
of the option. The Portfolio retains the risk of loss should the price of such
securities  decline. If the option expires unexercised, the Portfolio realizes
a  gain equal to the premium, which may be offset by a decline in price of the
underlying security. If the option is exercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain
or  loss  equal  to  the  difference  between  the  Portfolio's  cost  for the
underlying    security   and  the  proceeds  of  sale  (exercise  price  minus
commissions)    plus   the  amount  of the premium.  Portfolio may terminate a
call
option  that  it  has  written  before  it  expires by entering into a closing
purchase transaction. A Portfolio may enter into closing purchase transactions
in  order  to  free itself to sell the underlying security or to write another
call on the security, realize a profit on a previously written call option, or
protect a security from being called in an unexpected market rise. Any profits
from a closing purchase transaction may be offset by a decline in the value of
the  underlying security. Conversely, because increases in the market price of
a  call  option  will  generally  reflect increases in the market price of the
underlying security, any loss resulting from a closing purchase transaction is
likely  to  be  offset  in  whole or in part by unrealized appreciation of the
underlying  security  owned  by  the  Trust.

      COVERED PUT OPTIONS. Each Portfolio other than the Global Advisors Money
Market Portfolio may write covered put options in order to enhance its current
return.  Such  options  transactions  may  also  be  used as a limited form of
hedging  against  an  increase  in  the price of securities that the Portfolio
plans  to  purchase.  A  put  option  gives  the holder the right to sell, and
obligates  the  writer  to  buy,  a security at the exercise price at any time
before the expiration date. A put option is "covered" if the writer segregates
cash    and  high-grade  short-term  debt  obligations  or  other  permissible
collateral  equal  to  the  price  to  be  paid  if  the  option is exercised.

In  addition  to  the  receipt  of  premiums  and  the  potential  gains  from
terminating  such options in closing purchase transactions, the Portfolio also
receives  interest  on  the  cash  and debt securities maintained to cover the
exercise  price  of the option. By writing a put option, the Portfolio assumes
the  risk  that  it may be required to purchase the underlying security for an
exercise  price  higher  than  its  then  current market value, resulting in a
potential  capital  loss  unless  the  security  later  appreciates  in value.

A  Portfolio  may terminate a put option that it has written before it expires
by  a  closing  purchase  transaction.  Any  loss from this transaction may be
partially or entirely offset by the premium received on the terminated option.

         PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. Each Portfolio other than the Global
Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio  may  also  purchase put options to protect
portfolio  holdings  against  a decline in market value. This protection lasts
for  the  life  of  the  put  option because the Portfolio, as a holder of the
option,  may  sell the underlying security at the exercise price regardless of
any  decline  in its market price. In order for a put option to be profitable,
the  market  price  of the underlying security must decline sufficiently below
the  exercise  price  to  cover  the  premium  and  transaction costs that the
Portfolio  must  pay.  These  costs will reduce any profit the Portfolio might
have  realized  had  it sold the underlying security instead of buying the put
option.

Each  Portfolio  other  than  the  Global  Advisors Money Market Portfolio may
purchase  call options to hedge against an increase in the price of securities
that  the Portfolio wants ultimately to buy. Such hedge protection is provided
during  the life of the call option since the Portfolio, as holder of the call
option,  is  able  to  buy  the  underlying  security  at  the  exercise price
regardless of any increase in the underlying security's market price. In order
for  a  call  option  to  be  profitable,  the  market price of the underlying
security  must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium
and  transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit the Portfolio might
have  realized  had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased
the  call  option.

        OPTIONS ON FOREIGN SECURITIES. The Trust may, on behalf of each of the
Portfolios other than the Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio, purchase and
sell options on foreign securities if in the opinion of the Sub-Adviser of the
particular Portfolio the investment characteristics of such options, including
the  risks  of  investing in such options, are consistent with the Portfolio's
investment  objectives. It is expected that risks related to such options will
not  differ  materially  from  risks  related  to  options on U.S. securities.
However,  position limits and other rules of foreign exchanges may differ from
those  in  the  United States. In addition, options markets in some countries,
many  of  which are relatively new, may be less liquid than comparable markets
in  the  United  States.

          RISKS  INVOLVED IN THE SALE OF OPTIONS. Options transactions involve
certain  risks,  including  the  risks that a Portfolio's Sub-Adviser will not
forecast  interest rate or market movements correctly, that a Portfolio may be
unable  at times to close out such positions, or that hedging transactions may
not  accomplish  their  purpose  because of imperfect market correlations. The
successful  use  of  these  strategies depends on the ability of a Portfolio's
Sub-Adviser  to  forecast  market  and  interest  rate  movements  correctly.

An exchange-listed option may be closed out only on an exchange which provides
a  secondary  market  for  an option of the same series. There is no assurance
that  a  liquid  secondary market on an exchange will exist for any particular
option  or  at  any  particular time. If no secondary market were to exist, it
would be impossible to enter into a closing transaction to close out an option
position.  As  a  result, a Portfolio may be forced to continue to hold, or to
purchase at a fixed price, a security on which it has sold an option at a time
when  a  Portfolio's  Sub-Adviser  believes  it  is  inadvisable  to  do  so.

Higher  than  anticipated  trading  activity or order flow or other unforeseen
events  might  cause  The  Options  Clearing  Corporation  or  an  exchange to
institute  special  trading procedures or restrictions that might restrict the
Trust's  use  of  options.  The  exchanges have established limitations on the
maximum  number of calls and puts of each class that may be held or written by
an  investor  or group of investors acting in concert. It is possible that the
Trust and other clients of a Sub-Adviser may be considered such a group. These
position  limits  may restrict the Trust's ability to purchase or sell options
on  particular  securities.

Options  which  are  not traded on national securities exchanges may be closed
out  only  with  the  other  party  to  the  option  transaction.  For  that
reason,  it  may  be  more difficult to close out unlisted options than listed
options.  Furthermore,  unlisted  options  are  not  subject to the protection
afforded  purchasers  of  listed  options by The Options Clearing Corporation.

Government  regulations,  particularly the requirements for qualification as a
"regulated  investment  company"  under  the  Internal  Revenue Code, may also
restrict  the  Trust's  use  of  options.

FUTURES  CONTRACTS

The Trust may, on behalf of each Portfolio that may invest in debt securities,
other  than  the  Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio, buy and sell futures
contracts on debt securities of the type in which the Portfolio may invest and
on  indexes  of debt securities. In addition, the Trust may, on behalf of each
Portfolio  that may invest in equity securities, purchase and sell stock index
futures  for hedging and non-hedging purposes. The Trust may also, for hedging
and  non-hedging  purposes, purchase and write options on futures contracts of
the  type  which such Portfolios are authorized to buy and sell and may engage
in  related  closing  transactions.  All futures and related options which are
traded  in  the  United  States will, as may be required by applicable law, be
traded  on  exchanges that are licensed and regulated by the Commodity Futures
Trading  Commission  ("CFTC").  Trading  on foreign commodity exchanges is not
regulated  by  the  CFTC.

       FUTURES ON DEBT SECURITIES AND RELATED OPTIONS. A futures contract on a
debt  security is a binding contractual commitment which, if held to maturity,
will  result  in an obligation to make or accept delivery, during a particular
month,  of  securities having a standardized face value and rate of return. By
purchasing  futures  on  debt  securities -- assuming a "long" position -- the
Trust  will  legally obligate itself on behalf of the Portfolios to accept the
future  delivery  of  the  underlying  security  and  pay the agreed price. By
selling  futures  on debt securities -- assuming a "short" position -- it will
legally  obligate  itself  to make the future delivery of the security against
payment of the agreed price. Open futures positions on debt securities will be
valued  at the most recent settlement price, unless that price does not in the
judgment  of  persons  acting  at  the  direction  of  the  Trustees as to the
valuation  of  the  Trust's  assets reflect the fair value of the contract, in
which  case  the  positions  will  be  valued by or under the direction of the
Trustees  or  such  persons.

Positions  taken in the futures markets are not normally held to maturity, but
are  instead  liquidated through offsetting transactions which may result in a
profit  or  a  loss. While futures positions taken by the Trust on behalf of a
Portfolio  will  usually  be  liquidated in this manner, the Trust may instead
make  or  take  delivery  of  the  underlying  securities  whenever it appears
economically  advantageous  to  the Portfolio to do so. A clearing corporation
associated    with    the   exchange  on  which  futures  are  traded  assumes
responsibility  for  such closing transactions and guarantees that the Trust's
sale  and purchase obligations under closed-out positions will be performed at
the  termination  of  the  contract.

Hedging by use of futures on debt securities seeks to establish more certainly
than  would  otherwise  be  possible the effective rate of return on portfolio
securities.  A  Portfolio  may,  for  example,  take a "short" position in the
futures market by selling contracts for the future delivery of debt securities
held  by  the Portfolio (or securities having characteristics similar to those
held  by  the  Portfolio)  in  order  to  hedge against an anticipated rise in
interest  rates  that  would  adversely  affect  the  value of the Portfolio's
portfolio  securities.  When  hedging  of  this  character  is successful, any
depreciation  in the value of portfolio securities may substantially be offset
by  appreciation  in  the  value  of  the  futures  position.

On  other  occasions,  the  Portfolio may take a "long" position by purchasing
futures  on  debt  securities. This would be done, for example, when the Trust
expects  to  purchase  for the Portfolio particular securities when it has the
necessary  cash,  but  expects  the rate of return available in the securities
markets  at  that  time to be less favorable than rates currently available in
the  futures  markets.  If the anticipated rise in the price of the securities
should  occur (with its concomitant reduction in yield), the increased cost to
the  Portfolio  of  purchasing  the securities may be offset, at least to some
extent, by the rise in the value of the futures position taken in anticipation
of  the  subsequent  securities  purchase.

Successful use by the Trust of futures contracts on debt securities is subject
to  the ability of a Portfolio's Sub-Adviser to predict correctly movements in
the  direction  of interest rates and other factors affecting markets for debt
securities.  For example, if a Portfolio has hedged against the possibility of
an  increase  in interest rates which would adversely affect the market prices
of  debt  securities  held  by  it, and the prices of such securities increase
instead  the  Portfolio  will lose part or all of the benefit of the increased
value  of  its  securities which it has hedged because it will have offsetting
losses  in  its  futures  positions.  In  addition, in such situations, if the
Portfolio  has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities to meet daily
maintenance  margin  requirements,  and  thus  the  Portfolio may have to sell
securities    at  a  time  when  it  may  be  disadvantageous to do so.  Trust
may
purchase  and write put and call options on certain debt futures contracts, as
they  become  available.  Such  options  are  similar to options on securities
except  that  options  on  futures  contracts give the purchaser the right, in
return  for  the  premium  paid, to assume a position in a futures contract (a
long  position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a
put)  at  a  specified  exercise  price  at  any time during the period of the
option.  As  with options on securities, the holder or writer of an option may
terminate  his position by selling or purchasing an option of the same series.
There  is  no  guarantee  that  such closing transactions can be effected. The
Trust  will  be required to deposit initial margin and maintenance margin with
respect to put and call options on futures contracts written by it pursuant to
brokers'  requirements, and, in addition, net option premiums received will be
included  as initial margin deposits. See "Margin Payments" below. Compared to
the purchase or sale of futures contracts, the purchase of call or put options
on  futures  contracts  involves  less potential risk to the Trust because the
maximum  amount  at risk is the premium paid for the options plus transactions
costs.  However,  there  may be circumstances when the purchase of call or put
options  on  a  futures  contract would result in a loss to the Trust when the
purchase  or sale of the futures contracts would not, such as when there is no
movement in the prices of debt securities. The writing of a put or call option
on  a  futures  contract involves risks similar to those risks relating to the
purchase  or  sale  of  futures  contracts.

       INDEX FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The Trust may invest in debt index
futures contracts and stock index futures contracts, and in related options. A
debt  index futures contract is a contract to buy or sell units of a specified
debt index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract
is made. A unit is the current value of the index. Debt index futures in which
the  Trust  presently  expects  to  invest are not now available, although the
Trust  expects  such  futures  contracts  to become available in the future. A
stock  index  futures  contract  is a contract to buy or sell units of a stock
index  at  a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is
made.  A  unit  is  the  current  value  of  the  stock  index.

The  following example illustrates generally the manner in which index futures
contracts  operate.  The  Standard & Poor's 100 Stock Index is composed of 100
selected  common  stocks,  most  of  which  are  listed  on the New York Stock
Exchange.  The  S&P 100 Index assigns relative weightings to the common stocks
included  in  the  Index,  and the Index fluctuates with changes in the market
values of those common stocks. In the case of the S&P 100 Index, contracts are
to  buy  or sell 100 units. Thus, if the value of the S&P 100 Index were $180,
one  contract  would  be  worth  $18,000  (100  units x $180). The stock index
futures contract specifies that no delivery of the actual stocks making up the
index  will  take  place.  Instead,  settlement  in  cash  must occur upon the
termination  of the contract, with the settlement being the difference between
the  contract  price and the actual level of the stock index at the expiration
of the contract. For example, if a Portfolio enters into a futures contract to
buy  100  units  of the S&P 100 Index at a specified future date at a contract
price  of  $180  and  the  S&P  100  Index is at $184 on that future date, the
Portfolio  will  gain  $400  (100 units x gain of $4). If the Portfolio enters
into  a  futures  contract to sell 100 units of the stock index at a specified
future  date  at  a contract price of $180 and the S&P 100 Index is at $182 on
that  future  date,  the  Portfolio  will  lose $200 (100 units x loss of $2).

The Trust does not presently expect to invest in debt index futures contracts.
Stock  index  futures  contracts  are  currently  traded  with  respect  to
the  S&P  100  Index  on  the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and with respect to
other  broad  stock  market  indexes,  such  as  the  New  York Stock Exchange
Composite  Stock  Index, which is traded on the New York Futures Exchange, and
the Value Line Composite Stock Index, which is traded on the Kansas City Board
of  Trade,  as  well as with respect to narrower "sub-indexes" such as the S&P
100  Energy Stock Index and the New York Stock Exchange Utilities Stock Index.
To  the  extent  permitted under applicable law, a Portfolio may trade futures
contracts  and  options  on futures contracts on exchanges created outside the
United States, such as the London International Financial Futures Exchange and
the Sydney Futures Exchange Limited. Foreign markets may offer advantages such
as  trading  in commodities that are not currently traded in the United States
or  arbitrage  possibilities  not  available  in  the  United  States. Foreign
markets,  however,  may  have  greater risk potential than domestic markets. A
Portfolio  may  purchase  or sell futures contracts with respect to any stock.
Positions  in  index futures may be closed out only on an exchange or board of
trade  which  provides  a  secondary  market  for  such  futures.

In  order  to  hedge  a  Portfolio's  investments  successfully  using futures
contracts and related options, the Trust must invest in futures contracts with
respect  to  indexes  or  sub-indexes,  the  movements  of  which will, in its
judgment,  have  a significant correlation with movements in the prices of the
Portfolio's  securities.

Options on index futures contracts are similar to options on securities except
that  options  on  index  futures  contracts  give the purchaser the right, in
return for the premium paid, to assume a position in an index futures contract
(a long position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is
a  put)  at  a  specified  exercise price at any time during the period of the
option.  Upon  exercise  of the option, the holder would assume the underlying
futures  position  and  would  receive  a  variation margin payment of cash or
securities  approximating  the  increase  in  the value of the holder's option
position.  If  an  option  is  exercised  on the last trading day prior to the
expiration  date  of  the option, the settlement will be made entirely in cash
based  on  the  difference  between  the  exercise price of the option and the
closing  level  of  the  index  on  which the futures contract is based on the
expiration  date.  Purchasers  of  options  who fail to exercise their options
prior  to  the  exercise  date  suffer  a  loss  of  the  premium  paid.

As  an  alternative  to  purchasing  and selling call and put options on index
futures  contracts,  each  of the Portfolios which may purchase and sell index
futures contracts may purchase and sell call and put options on the underlying
indexes  themselves  to  the  extent  that such options are traded on national
securities  exchanges.  Index  options  are  similar  to options on individual
securities  in that the purchaser of an index option acquires the right to buy
(in  the  case  of  a  call)  or  sell  (in the case of a put), and the writer
undertakes  the  obligation  to  sell or buy (as the case may be), units of an
index  at  a  stated  exercise price during the term of the option. Instead of
giving  the right to take or make actual delivery of securities, the holder of
an  index option has the right to receive a cash "exercise settlement amount."
This  amount  is  equal to the amount by which the fixed exercise price of the
option  exceeds (in the case of a put) or is less than (in the case of a call)
the  closing  value  of  the  underlying  index  on  the date of the exercise,
multiplied  by  a  fixed  "index  multiplier."

A  Portfolio  may  purchase or sell options on stock indexes in order to close
out  its  outstanding  positions  in  options  on  stock  indexes which it has
purchased.  A  Portfolio  may  also  allow such options to expire unexercised.

Compared to the purchase or sale of futures contracts, the purchase of call or
put  options on an index involves less potential risk to the Trust because the
maximum  amount  at risk is the premium paid for the options plus transactions
costs.  The writing of a put or call option on an index involves risks similar
to  those  risks  relating to the purchase or sale of index futures contracts.

      MARGIN PAYMENTS. When a Portfolio purchases or sells a futures contract,
it  is required to deposit with the Custodian an amount of cash, U.S. Treasury
bills,  or  other  permissible  collateral  equal to a small percentage of the
amount  of the futures contract. This amount is known as "initial margin." The
nature  of  initial  margin  is  different  from  that  of  margin in security
transactions   in  that  it  does  not  involve  borrowing  money  to  finance
transactions.  Rather, initial margin is similar to a performance bond or good
faith  deposit that is returned to the Trust upon termination of the contract,
assuming  the  Trust  satisfies  its  contractual  obligations.

Subsequent payments to and from the broker occur on a daily basis in a process
known as "marking to market". These payments are called "variation margin" and
are  made  as  the  value  of  the underlying futures contract fluctuates. For
example,  when  a  Portfolio  sells  a  futures  contract and the price of the
underlying  debt  security  rises  above  the  delivery price, the Portfolio's
position  declines  in  value.  The Portfolio then pays the broker a variation
margin  payment  equal  to  the  difference  between the delivery price of the
futures contract and the market price of the securities underlying the futures
contract.  Conversely, if the price of the underlying security falls below the
delivery  price of the contract, the Portfolio's futures position increases in
value.  The  broker  then  must  make  a variation margin payment equal to the
difference  between  the delivery price of the futures contract and the market
price  of  the  securities  underlying  the  futures  contract.

When  a  Portfolio  terminates  a  position  in  a  futures  contract, a final
determination  of  variation  margin is made, additional cash is paid by or to
the  Portfolio,  and  the  Portfolio  realizes  a loss or a gain. Such closing
transactions  involve  additional  commission  costs.

SPECIAL  RISKS  OF  TRANSACTIONS  IN  FUTURES  CONTRACTS  AND  RELATED OPTIONS

     LIQUIDITY RISKS. Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on
an  exchange  or  board  of  trade  which provides a secondary market for such
futures.  Although  the  Trust  intends  to  purchase  or sell futures only on
exchanges  or  boards  of  trade where there appears to be an active secondary
market, there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market on an exchange or
board  of  trade  will  exist for any particular contract or at any particular
time.  If  there is not a liquid secondary market at a particular time, it may
not  be possible to close a futures position at such time and, in the event of
adverse price movements, the Trust would continue to be required to make daily
cash payments of variation margin. However, in the event financial futures are
used to hedge portfolio securities, such securities will not generally be sold
until  the  financial  futures  can  be  terminated. In such circumstances, an
increase  in  the  price of the portfolio securities, if any, may partially or
completely  offset  losses  on  the  financial  futures.

In  addition  to  the  risks that apply to all options transactions, there are
several special risks relating to options on futures contracts. The ability to
establish  and  close  out  positions  in  such options will be subject to the
development  and  maintenance  of a liquid secondary market. It is not certain
that  such  a  market will develop. Although the Trust generally will purchase
only  those  options for which there appears to be an active secondary market,
there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market on an exchange will exist
for any particular option or at any particular time. In the event that no such
market  exists  for  particular  options,  it  might not be possible to effect
closing transactions in such options with the result that the Trust would have
to  exercise  the  options  in  order  to  realize  any  profit.

        HEDGING RISKS. There are several risks in connection with the use by a
Portfolio  of  futures  contracts and related options as a hedging device. One
risk  arises  because  of  the  imperfect correlation between movements in the
prices  of  the  futures contracts and options and movements in the underlying
securities or index or movements in the prices of the Trust's securities which
are the subject of the hedge. A Portfolio's Sub-Adviser will, however, attempt
to reduce this risk by purchasing and selling, to the extent possible, futures
contracts and related options on securities and indexes the movements of which
will,  in  its judgment, correlate closely with movements in the prices of the
underlying  securities or index and the Trust's portfolio securities sought to
be  hedged.

Successful  use  of  futures  contracts and options by a Portfolio for hedging
purposes  is  also  subject  to a Portfolio's Sub-Adviser's ability to predict
correctly movements in the direction of the market. It is possible that, where
a  Portfolio  has  purchased  puts on futures contracts to hedge its portfolio
against a decline in the market, the securities or index on which the puts are
purchased  may  increase  in  value  and  the  value of securities held in the
portfolio may decline. If this occurred, the Portfolio would lose money on the
puts  and  also  experience a decline in value in its portfolio securities. In
addition,  the  prices  of futures, for a number of reasons, may not correlate
perfectly  with movements in the underlying securities or index due to certain
market  distortions. First, all participants in the futures market are subject
to margin deposit requirements. Such requirements may cause investors to close
futures  contracts  through  offsetting  transactions  which could distort the
normal  relationship  between  the  underlying  security  or index and futures
markets.  Second,  the  margin  requirements  in  the futures markets are less
onerous  than margin requirements in the securities markets in general, and as
a  result the futures markets may attract more speculators than the securities
markets  do. Increased participation by speculators in the futures markets may
also  cause  temporary  price  distortions.  Due  to  the possibility of price
distortion,  even a correct forecast of general market trends by a Portfolio's
Sub-Adviser  may  still  not result in a successful hedging transaction over a
very  short  time  period.

          FOREIGN  TRANSACTION  RISKS.  Unlike  trading  on domestic commodity
exchanges, trading on foreign commodity exchanges is not regulated by the CFTC
and  may  be  subject to greater risks than trading on domestic exchanges. For
example,  some  foreign  exchanges  are  principal  markets  so that no common
clearing  facility  exists  and  a  trader  may  look  only  to the broker for
performance  of  the  contract. In addition, unless a Portfolio hedges against
fluctuations  in  the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currencies
in  which trading is done on foreign exchanges, any profits that the Portfolio
might  realize  in  trading  could  be  eliminated  by  adverse changes in the
exchange  rate,  or  the  Portfolio  could  incur  losses as a result of those
changes.  Transactions on foreign exchanges may include both commodities which
are  traded  on  domestic  exchanges  and  those  which  are  not.

          OTHER RISKS. Portfolios will incur brokerage fees in connection with
their  futures  and options transactions. In addition, while futures contracts
and  options  on  futures  will be purchased and sold to reduce certain risks,
those  transactions  themselves  entail  certain  other  risks.  Thus, while a
Portfolio    may  benefit  from  the  use  of  futures  and  related  options,
unanticipated changes in interest rates or stock price movements may result in
a poorer overall performance for the Portfolio than if it had not entered into
any  futures  contracts  or options transactions. Moreover, in the event of an
imperfect  correlation between the futures position and the portfolio position
which  is intended to be protected, the desired protection may not be obtained
and  the  Portfolio  may  be  exposed  to  risk  of  loss.

FORWARD  COMMITMENTS

The  Trust  may, on behalf of each Portfolio, enter into contracts to purchase
securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time
("forward  commitments")  if  the  Portfolio  holds,  and  maintains until the
settlement  date  in  a  segregated  account  maintained by the Custodian with
assets  selected  by  the Custodian, cash or high-grade debt obligations in an
amount  sufficient to meet the purchase price, or if the Portfolio enters into
offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities it owns. Forward
commitments  may be considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of
loss  if  the  value  of  the  security  to be purchased declines prior to the
settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value
of  the  Portfolio's  other  assets.  Where  such  purchases  are made through
dealers,  the  Portfolio  relies  on  the  dealer  to consummate the sale. The
dealer's  failure  to  do  so  may  result  in the loss to the Portfolio of an
advantageous  yield  or  price.

Although  a  Portfolio  will generally enter into forward commitments with the
intention  of  acquiring securities for its portfolio or for delivery pursuant
to  options  contracts  it  has  entered  into,  a  Portfolio may dispose of a
commitment   prior  to  settlement  if  a  Portfolio's  Sub-Adviser  deems  it
appropriate  to  do  so.  A Portfolio may realize short-term profits or losses
upon  the  sale  of  forward  commitments.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS

On behalf of each Portfolio, the Trust may enter into repurchase agreements. A
repurchase  agreement  is  a  contract  under  which  the Portfolio acquires a
security  for  a  relatively  short  period  (usually  not more than one week)
subject  to  the  obligation  of the seller to repurchase and the Portfolio to
resell  such  security at a fixed time and price (representing the Portfolio's
cost  plus  interest).  It  is  the  Trust's  present  intention to enter into
repurchase agreements only with member banks of the Federal Reserve System and
securities  dealers  meeting  certain  criteria  as  to  creditworthiness  and
financial  condition  established  by  the Trustees of the Trust and only with
respect    to    obligations  of  the  U.S.  Government  or  its  agencies  or
instrumentalities    or  other  high  quality  short  term  debt  obligations.
Repurchase  agreements may also be viewed as loans made by the Trust which are
collateralized  by the securities subject to repurchase. The Sub-Advisers will
monitor  such  transactions  to  ensure  that  the  value  of  the  underlying
securities  will  be  at  least  equal at all times to the total amount of the
repurchase  obligation, including the interest factor. If the seller defaults,
the  Trust  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, if the
seller  should  be involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, the Trust
may  incur  delay and costs in selling the underlying security or may suffer a
loss  of  principal  and  interest  if  the  Trust  is treated as an unsecured
creditor  and  required  to  return  the underlying collateral to the seller's
estate.

REVERSE  REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS

The  Trust  may,  on  behalf  of  each  of  the Portfolios, enter into reverse
repurchase  agreements,  which involve the sale by the Portfolio of securities
held  by  it  with an agreement to repurchase the securities at an agreed upon
price, date, and interest payment. The Portfolios will use the proceeds of the
reverse repurchase agreements to purchase securities either maturing, or under
an agreement to resell, at a date simultaneous with or prior to the expiration
of  the  reverse repurchase agreement. A Portfolio will use reverse repurchase
agreements  when  the  interest income to be earned from the investment of the
proceeds  of  the  transaction  is  greater  than  the interest expense of the
reverse  repurchase  transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements into which the
Portfolios will enter require that the market value of the underlying security
and  other collateral equal or exceed the repurchase price (including interest
accrued  on  the  security),  and require the Portfolios to provide additional
collateral  if  the  market  value of such security falls below the repurchase
price  at any time during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement. At all
times  that  a reverse repurchase agreement is outstanding, the Portfolio will
maintain   cash,  liquid  high-grade  debt  obligations,  or  U.S.  Government
Securities,  as the case may be, in a segregated account at its custodian with
a  value  at  least  equal  to  its  obligations  under  the  agreement.

WHEN-ISSUED  SECURITIES

The  Trust  may,  on  behalf  of  each  Portfolio,  from time to time purchase
securities  on a "when-issued" basis. Debt securities are often issued on this
basis. The price of such securities, which may be expressed in yield terms, is
fixed  at  the time a commitment to purchase is made, but delivery and payment
for  the  when-issued  securities  take  place  at a later date. Normally, the
settlement  date  occurs  within  one month of the purchase. During the period
between  purchase  and  settlement,  no  payment is made by a Portfolio and no
interest  accrues  to  the Portfolio. To the extent that assets of a Portfolio
are  held  in  cash  pending  the settlement of a purchase of securities, that
Portfolio  would earn no income. While the Trust may sell its right to acquire
when-issued  securities  prior  to  the  settlement  date,  the  Trust intends
actually  to acquire such securities unless a sale prior to settlement appears
desirable for investment reasons. At the time a Portfolio makes the commitment
to  purchase a security on a when-issued basis, it will record the transaction
and  reflect  the  amount due and the value of the security in determining the
Portfolio's  net  asset  value. The market value of the when-issued securities
may  be  more  or less than the purchase price payable at the settlement date.
Each  Portfolio  will establish a segregated account in which it will maintain
cash  and  U.S.  Government Securities or other high-grade debt obligations at
least   equal  in  value  to  commitments  for  when-issued  securities.  Such
segregated  securities  either  will  mature  or,  if necessary, be sold on or
before  the  settlement  date.

LOANS  OF  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES

The  Trust  may  lend the portfolio securities of any Portfolio, provided: (1)
the  loan  is secured continuously by collateral consisting of U.S. Government
Securities,  cash,  or cash equivalents adjusted daily to have market value at
least  equal  to  the  current  market value of the securities loaned; (2) the
Trust  may at any time call the loan and regain the securities loaned; (3) the
Trust  will  receive  any interest or dividends paid on the loaned securities;
and  (4) the aggregate market value of securities of any Portfolio loaned will
not    at    any   time  exceed 20% (except 10% with respect to the EliteValue
Asset    Allocation    Portfolio,  15%  with  respect  to  the  Credit  Suisse
International Equity Portfolio and 33 1/3% with respect to the Global Advisors
Money Market Portfolio and the Global Advisors Growth Equity Portfolio) of the
total  assets  of the Portfolio taken at value. In addition, it is anticipated
that  the Portfolio may share with the borrower some of the income received on
the  collateral  for  the loan or that it will be paid a premium for the loan.
Before  the  Portfolio enters into a loan, a Portfolio's Sub-Adviser considers
all  relevant  facts  and  circumstances including the creditworthiness of the
borrower.  The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions
of credit, consist of possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible
loss  of  rights  in  the  collateral  should  the  borrower fail financially.
Although  voting  rights,  or  rights  to  consent, with respect to the loaned
securities pass to the borrower, the Trust retains the right to call the loans
at  any  time  on  reasonable  notice,  and  it  will  do so in order that the
securities  may  be  voted  by the Trust if the holders of such securities are
asked  to vote upon or consent to matters materially affecting the investment.
The  Trust will not lend portfolio securities to borrowers affiliated with the
Trust.

FOREIGN  SECURITIES

Investments  in  foreign  securities may involve considerations different from
investments    in  domestic  securities  due  to  limited  publicly  available
information,  non-uniform  accounting  standards,  lower  trading  volume  and
possible  consequent  illiquidity,  greater  volatility in price, the possible
imposition  of  withholding  or  confiscatory  taxes, the possible adoption of
foreign  governmental  restrictions  affecting  the  payment  of principal and
interest, expropriation of assets, nationalization, or other adverse political
or economic developments. Foreign companies may not be subject to auditing and
financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those which apply
to  U.S. companies. Foreign brokerage commissions and other fees are generally
higher  than in the United States. It may also be more difficult to obtain and
enforce  a  judgment  against  a  foreign  issuer.

In  addition,  to  the extent that any Portfolio's foreign investments are not
U.S.    dollar-denominated,   the  Portfolio  may  be  affected  favorably  or
unfavorably  by  changes  in  currency  exchange  rates  or  exchange  control
regulations  and  may  incur  costs  in  connection  with  conversion  between
currencies.

In  determining  whether  to  invest  in  securities  of  foreign issuers, the
Sub-Adviser of a Portfolio will consider the likely impact of foreign taxes on
the net yield available to the Portfolio and its shareholders. Income received
by  a  Portfolio  from  sources  within  foreign  countries  may be reduced by
withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. Tax conventions between
certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes. It
is  impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in advance since
the  amount of a Portfolio's assets to be invested in various countries is not
known, and tax laws and their interpretations may change from time to time and
may  change  without  advance  notice. Any such taxes paid by a Portfolio will
reduce  its  net  income  available  for  distribution  to  shareholders.

FOREIGN  CURRENCY  TRANSACTIONS

The  Trust  may  engage  in  currency  exchange transactions, on behalf of its
Portfolios  which  may  invest  in  foreign  securities,  to  protect  against
uncertainty  in  the  level  of  future foreign currency exchange rates and to
increase  current  return.  The Trust may engage in both "transaction hedging"
and  "position  hedging."

When it engages in transaction hedging, the Trust enters into foreign currency
transactions  with  respect to specific receivables or payables of a Portfolio
generally  arising  in  connection  with the purchase or sale of its portfolio
securities.  The  Trust  will engage in transaction hedging when it desires to
"lock-in"  the  U.S.  dollar  price of a security it has agreed to purchase or
sell,  or  the  U.S.  dollar equivalent of a dividend or interest payment in a
foreign  currency.  By transaction hedging the Trust will attempt to protect a
Portfolio  against  a  possible  loss  resulting from an adverse change in the
relationship  between  the  U.S.  dollar  and  the applicable foreign currency
during  the period between the date on which the security is purchased or sold
or  on  which  the  dividend  or interest payment is declared, and the date on
which  such  payments  are  made  or  received.

The Trust may purchase or sell a foreign currency on a spot (or cash) basis at
the prevailing spot rate in connection with transaction hedging. The Trust may
also  enter  into contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future
date  ("forward  contracts")  and  purchase  and sell foreign currency futures
contracts.
transaction  hedging  purposes the Trust may also purchase exchange-listed and
over-the-counter  call  and  put options on foreign currency futures contracts
and  on foreign currencies. A put option on a futures contract gives the Trust
the  right to assume a short position in the futures contract until expiration
of  the  option.  A put option on currency gives the Trust the right to sell a
currency  at  an  exercise  price  until  the expiration of the option. A call
option  on  a  futures  contract  gives  the  Trust the right to assume a long
position  in  the  futures contract until the expiration of the option. A call
option  on  currency  gives  the Trust the right to purchase a currency at the
exercise  price  until  the expiration of the option. The Trust will engage in
over-the-counter    transactions    only    when  appropriate  exchange-traded
transactions  are  unavailable  and  when,  in  the opinion of the Portfolio's
Sub-Adviser,  the  pricing  mechanism  and  liquidity are satisfactory and the
participants   are  responsible  parties  likely  to  meet  their  contractual
obligations.

When  it  engages  in position hedging, the Trust enters into foreign currency
exchange  transactions  to  protect  against  a  decline  in the values of the
foreign  currencies in which securities held by a Portfolio are denominated or
are  quoted  in their principle trading markets or an increase in the value of
currency  for  securities which a Portfolio expects to purchase. In connection
with  position  hedging, the Trust may purchase put or call options on foreign
currency  and  foreign  currency  futures  contracts  and  buy or sell forward
contracts  and foreign currency futures contracts. The Trust may also purchase
or  sell  foreign  currency  on  a  spot  basis.

The  precise matching of the amounts of foreign currency exchange transactions
and  the  value  of  the  portfolio  securities involved will not generally be
possible  since the future value of such securities in foreign currencies will
change  as a consequence of market movements in the values of those securities
between  the dates the currency exchange transactions are entered into and the
dates  they  mature.

It  is impossible to forecast with precision the market value of a Portfolio's
portfolio  securities  at  the  expiration or maturity of a forward or futures
contract.  Accordingly,  it  may  be  necessary  for  the  Trust  to  purchase
additional  foreign  currency on behalf of a Portfolio on the spot market (and
bear  the  expense  of  such  purchase) if the market value of the security or
securities  being hedged is less than the amount of foreign currency the Trust
is  obligated  to  deliver  and  if a decision is made to sell the security or
securities  and  make  delivery of the foreign currency. Conversely, it may be
necessary  to  sell  on  the spot market some of the foreign currency received
upon  the  sale  of the portfolio security or securities of a Portfolio if the
market  value  of  such  security  or securities exceeds the amount of foreign
currency  the  Trust  is  obligated  to  deliver  on  behalf of the Portfolio.

To  offset some of the costs to a Portfolio of hedging against fluctuations in
currency  exchange  rates,  the  Trust may write covered call options on those
currencies.

Transaction  and  position  hedging  do  not  eliminate  fluctuations  in  the
underlying  prices  of  the  securities  which  a Portfolio owns or intends to
purchase  or  sell.  They  simply  establish  a rate of exchange which one can
achieve  at  some  future  point  in  time.

Additionally,  although these techniques tend to minimize the risk of loss due
to  a  decline  in  the  value  of the hedged currency, they tend to limit any
potential  gain  which  might  result  from  the increase in the value of such
currency.
Portfolio  may  also  seek  to  increase  its current return by purchasing and
selling  foreign  currency  on  a  spot  basis,  and by purchasing and selling
options  on  foreign currencies and on foreign currency futures contracts, and
by  purchasing  and  selling  foreign  currency  forward  contracts.

          CURRENCY  FORWARD  AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. A forward foreign currency
exchange  contract  involves  an  obligation  to  purchase  or sell a specific
currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date
of  the  contract  as agreed by the parties, at a price set at the time of the
contract.  In  the  case  of a cancelable forward contract, the holder has the
unilateral right to cancel the contract at maturity by paying a specified fee.
The  contracts  are  traded in the interbank market conducted directly between
currency  traders  (usually  large  commercial  banks)  and their customers. A
forward  contract generally has no deposit requirement, and no commissions are
charged  at  any  stage  for  trades. A foreign currency futures contract is a
standardized  contract  for  the  future  delivery  of a specified amount of a
foreign  currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract.
Foreign currency futures contracts traded in the United States are designed by
and traded on exchanges regulated by the CFTC, such as the New York Mercantile
Exchange.

Forward  foreign  currency  exchange  contracts  differ  from foreign currency
futures  contracts  in  certain  respects. For example, the maturity date of a
forward contract may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract
agreed upon by the parties, rather than a predetermined date in a given month.
Forward contracts may be in any amounts agreed upon by the parties rather than
predetermined  amounts.  Also,  forward  foreign exchange contracts are traded
directly  between  currency  traders  so  that  no intermediary is required. A
forward  contract  generally  requires  no  margin  or  other  deposit.

At  the maturity of a forward or futures contract, the Trust may either accept
or  make delivery of the currency specified in the contract, or at or prior to
maturity enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an
offsetting  contract.  Closing  transactions with respect to forward contracts
are  usually  effected with the currency trader who is a party to the original
forward  contract.  Closing transactions with respect to futures contracts are
effected on a commodities exchange; a clearing corporation associated with the
exchange  assumes  responsibility  for  closing  out  such  contracts.

Positions  in  foreign  currency  futures contracts and related options may be
closed  out  only  on an exchange or board of trade which provides a secondary
market in such contracts or options. Although the Trust intends to purchase or
sell  foreign currency futures contracts and related options only on exchanges
or boards of trade where there appears to be an active secondary market, there
is  no assurance that a secondary market on an exchange or board of trade will
exist for any particular contract or option or at any particular time. In such
event,  it  may  not be possible to close a futures or related option position
and,  in  the event of adverse price movements, the Trust would continue to be
required  to  make  daily  cash  payments  of  variation margin on its futures
positions.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY OPTIONS. Options on foreign currencies operate similarly
to  options  on  securities,  and are traded primarily in the over-the-counter
market,  although  options  on foreign currencies have recently been listed on
several  exchanges.  Such  options  will  be  purchased or written only when a
Portfolio's  Sub-Adviser  believes  that  a liquid secondary market exists for
such  options.  There  can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will
exist  for  a  particular  option  at  any  specific  time. Options on foreign
currencies are affected by all of those factors which influence exchange rates
and  investments  generally.

The  value  of  a  foreign  currency option is dependent upon the value of the
foreign  currency    and  the U.S. dollar, and may have no relationship to the
investment merits of a foreign security. Because foreign currency transactions
occurring  in  the  interbank market involve substantially larger amounts than
those that may  be  involved in the use of foreign currency options, investors
may  be  disadvantaged    by  having  to  deal in an odd lot market (generally
consisting of transactions of less than $1 million) for the underlying foreign
currencies  at  prices  that  are  less  favorable  than  for  round  lots.

There  is  no  systematic  reporting  of  last  sale  information  for foreign
currencies  and  there  is no regulatory requirement that quotations available
through  dealers or other market sources be firm or revised on a timely basis.
Available  quotation  information  is  generally  representative of very large
transactions  in  the  interbank  market  and  thus may not reflect relatively
smaller transactions (less than $1 million) where rates may be less favorable.
The  interbank  market  in  foreign  currencies  is a global, around-the-clock
market.  To  the  extent  that  the  U.S. options markets are closed while the
markets  for the underlying currencies remain open, significant price and rate
movements may take place in the underlying markets that cannot be reflected in
the  U.S.  options  markets.

         FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERSION. Although foreign exchange dealers do not
charge  a  fee  for currency conversion, they do realize a profit based on the
difference  (the  "spread")  between prices at which they buy and sell various
currencies.  Thus, a deal may offer to sell a foreign currency to the Trust at
one  rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the Trust desire to
resell  that  currency  to  the  dealer.

        SWAPS, CAPS, FLOORS AND COLLARS. Among the Strategic Transactions into
which certain Portfolios may enter are interest rate, currency and index swaps
and  other  types  of  available  swap  agreements,  such  as caps, floors and
collars.  A Portfolio will enter into these transactions primarily to preserve
a  return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, to
protect  against  currency fluctuations, as a duration management technique or
to  protect  against  any  increase  in  the  price  of securities a Portfolio
anticipates    purchasing  at  a  later  date.  A  Portfolio  will  use  these
transactions  as  hedges  and not as speculative investments and will not sell
interest  rate  caps  or  floors  where  it  does  not own securities or other
instruments providing the income stream the Portfolio may be obligated to pay.
Interest  rate  swaps involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party
of  their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange
of  floating  rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional
amount of principal. A currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on
a  notional  amount  of  two  or  more  currencies based on the relative value
differential among them. An index swap is an agreement to swap cash flows on a
notional  amount  based on changes in the values of the reference indices. The
purchase  of  a  cap  entitles the purchaser to receive payments on a notional
principal  amount  from  the  party  selling  such  cap  to  the extent that a
specified  index exceeds a predetermined interest rate or amount. The purchase
of  a floor entitles the purchaser to receive payments on a notional principal
amount  from the party selling such floor to the extent that a specified index
falls below a predetermined interest rate or amount. A collar is a combination
of  a  cap  and a floor that preserves a certain return within a predetermined
range  of  interest  rates  or  values.

A  Portfolio  will  usually  enter  into  swaps  on a net basis, i.e., the two
payment  streams  are  netted  out in a cash settlement on the payment date or
dates  specified in the instrument, with the Portfolio receiving or paying, as
the  case  may  be, only the net amount of the two payments. Inasmuch as these
swaps,  caps,  floors  and  collars  are  entered  into for good faith hedging
purposes,  the Sub-Advisers and the Portfolios believe such obligations do not
constitute  senior  securities  under  the  Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended,  and,  accordingly,  will  not  treat  them  as  being subject to its
borrowing  restrictions.  If  there  is  a  default  by  the counterparty, the
Portfolio  may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to
the  transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with
a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals
and  agents  utilizing  standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap
market  has become relatively liquid. Caps, floors and collars are more recent
innovations  for  which  standardized  documentation  has  not  yet been fully
developed  and,  accordingly,  they  are  less  liquid  than  swaps.

With respect to swaps, the Portfolio will accrue the net amount of the excess,
if  any, of its obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap on
a  daily  basis  and  will  segregate  with its custodian an amount of cash or
liquid high-grade securities having a value equal to the accrued excess. Caps,
floors  and  collars  require  segregation  of  assets with a value equal to a
Portfolio's  net  obligation,  if  any.

COMMERCIAL  MORTGAGE-BACKED  SECURITIES

The  BlackRock Managed Bond Portfolio may invest in Commercial Mortgage-Backed
Securities.  Commercial  Mortgage-Backed  Securities are generally multi-class
debt  or pass-through securities backed by a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage
loans  secured  by  commercial  property,  such  as  industrial  and warehouse
properties,  office  buildings,  retail  space and shopping malls, multifamily
properties  and  cooperative  apartments,  hotels  and  motels, nursing homes,
hospitals,  senior  living  centers  and agricultural property. The commercial
mortgage  loans  that  underlie  Commercial  Mortgage-Backed  Securities  have
certain  distinct characteristics. Commercial mortgage loans are generally not
amortizing  or  not fully amortizing. At their maturity date, repayment of the
remaining  principal  balance  or  "balloon"  is due and is repaid through the
attainment  of  an additional loan or sale of the property. Unlike most single
family  residential  mortgages,  commercial  real property loans often contain
provisions which substantially reduce the likelihood that such securities will
be  prepaid.  The provisions generally impose significant prepayment penalties
on loans and, in some cases there may be prohibitions on principal prepayments
for  several  years  following  origination.  This  difference  in  prepayment
exposure  is  significant due to extraordinarily high levels of refinancing of
traditional  residential  mortgages experienced over the past year as mortgage
rates have reached a 25-year low. Assets underlying Commercial Mortgage-Backed
Securities  may  relate  to  only  a  few  properties or to a single property.

Commercial  Mortgage-Backed  Securities have been issued in public and private
transactions  by  a  variety  of public and private issuers.  Non-governmental
entities  that  have issued or sponsored Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities
offerings   include  owners  of  commercial  properties,  originators  of  and
investors  in  mortgage  loans, savings and loan associations, mortgage banks,
commercial  banks,  insurance  companies, investment banks and special purpose
subsidiaries  of  the foregoing. The BlackRock Managed Bond Portfolio may from
time  to  time  purchase  Commercial  Mortgage-Backed Securities directly from
issuers  in  negotiated  transactions  or  from  a  holder  of such Commercial
Mortgage-Backed  Securities  in  the  secondary  market.

Commercial  Mortgage-Backed Securities generally are structured to protect the
senior  class  investors  against  potential losses on the underlying mortgage
loans.  This  is generally provided by the subordinated class investors, which
may  be  included  in  the  Portfolio,  by  taking the first loss if there are
defaults  on the underlying commercial mortgage loans. Other protection, which
may  benefit  all  of the classes, including the subordinated classes in which
the Portfolio intends to invest, may include issuer guarantees, reserve funds,
additional    subordinated    securities,    cross-collateralization,
over-collateralization  and the equity investors in the underlying properties.

By  adjusting the priority of interest and principal payments on each class of
a  given Commercial Mortgage-Backed Security, issuers are able to issue senior
investment-grade    securities   and  lower-rated  or  non-rated  subordinated
securities    tailored  to  meet  the  needs  of  sophisticated  institutional
investors.  In  general,  subordinated  classes  of Commercial Mortgage-Backed
Securities  are  entitled  to  receive  repayment  of principal only after all
required  principal  payments  have  been made to more senior classes and have
subordinate  rights as to receipt of interest distributions. Such subordinated
classes  are  subject  to  a substantially greater risk of nonpayment than are
senior  classes  of Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities. Even within a class
of  subordinate  securities,  most  Commercial  Mortgage-Backed Securities are
structured  with  a  hierarchy of levels (or "loss positions"). Loss positions
are  the  order in which nonrecoverable losses of principal are applied to the
securities  within  a  given structure. For instance, a first-loss subordinate
security  will  absorb  any  principal  losses before any higher-loss position
subordinate  security.  This  type  of structure allows a number of classes of
securities  to  be created with varying degrees of credit exposure, prepayment
exposure  and  potential  total  return.

Subordinated  classes  of  Commercial  Mortgage-Backed  Securities  have  more
recently  been  structured  to  meet  specific investor preferences and issuer
constraints  and  have different priorities for cash flow and loss absorption.
As  previously  discussed,  from  a credit perspective, they are structured to
absorb any credit-related losses prior to the senior class. The principal cash
flow characteristics of subordinated classes are designed to be among the most
stable in the Mortgage-Backed Securities market, the probability of prepayment
being much lower than with traditional Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities.
This  characteristic  is  primarily due to the structural feature that directs
the  application  of principal payments first to the senior classes until they
are  retired  before  the  subordinated classes receive any prepayments. While
this  serves  to  enhance  the  credit  protection  of  the senior classes, it
produces  subordinated  classes with more stable average lives. Subject to the
applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, there are no limitations on the classes
of  Commercial  Mortgage-Backed  Securities in which the Portfolio may invest.
Accordingly,    in    certain    circumstances,   the  Portfolio  may  recover
proportionally less of its investment in a Commercial Mortgage-Backed Security
than the holders of more senior classes of the same Commercial Mortgage-Backed
Security.

The  rating  assigned to a given issue and class of Commercial Mortgage-Backed
Securities  is  a  product  of  many  factors, including, the structure of the
security,  the  level  of  subordination,  the  quality  and  adequacy  of the
collateral,  and  the  past  performance  of  the  originators  and  servicing
companies. The rating of any Commercial Mortgage-Backed Security is determined
to a substantial degree by the debt service coverage ratio (i.e., the ratio of
current net operating income from the commercial properties, in the aggregate,
to  the  current debt service obligations on the properties) and the LTV ratio
of  the  pooled  properties.  The  amount  of the securities issued in any one
rating  category  is determined by the rating agencies after a rigorous credit
rating  process  which  includes analysis of the issuer, servicer and property
manager,  as well as verification of the LTV and debt service coverage ratios.
LTV  ratios  may be particularly important in the case of commercial mortgages
because  most  commercial mortgage loans provide that the lender's sole remedy
in the event of a default is against the mortgaged property, and the lender is
not permitted to pursue remedies with respect to other assets of the borrower.
Accordingly, loan-to-value ratios may, in certain circumstances, determine the
amount  realized  by  the  holder  of the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Security.

ZERO-COUPON  SECURITIES

Zero-coupon  securities  in  which a Portfolio may invest are debt obligations
which  are generally issued at a discount and payable in full at maturity, and
which  do  not  provide  for  current  payments of interest prior to maturity.
Zero-coupon securities usually trade at a deep discount from their face or par
value  and  are  subject  to  greater  market value fluctuations from changing
interest  rates  than  debt  obligations  of  comparable maturities which make
current  distributions of interest. As a result, the net asset value of shares
of  a  Portfolio  investing  in  zero-coupon  securities  may fluctuate over a
greater  range  than  shares of other Portfolios of the Trust and other mutual
funds  investing  in  securities  making current distributions of interest and
having  similar  maturities.

Zero-coupon  securities may include U.S. Treasury bills issued directly by the
U.S.  Treasury  or other short-term debt obligations, and longer-term bonds or
notes  and their unmatured interest coupons which have been separated by their
holder,  typically  a custodian bank or investment brokerage firm. A number of
securities  firms  and  banks  have  stripped  the  interest  coupons from the
underlying  principal  (the  "corpus")  of U.S. Treasury securities and resold
them in custodial receipt programs with a number of different names, including
Treasury  Income  Growth  Receipts  ("TIGRS")  and  Certificates of Accrual on
Treasuries  ("CATS").  The underlying U.S. Treasury bonds and notes themselves
are  held  in  book-entry  form at the Federal Reserve Bank or, in the case of
bearer securities (i.e., unregistered securities which are owned ostensibly by
the  bearer  or  holder  thereof),  in  trust on behalf of the owners thereof.

In    addition,  the  Treasury  has  facilitated  transfers  of  ownership  of
zero-coupon  securities  by accounting separately for the beneficial ownership
of  particular  interest  coupons  and  corpus payments on Treasury securities
through  the  Federal  Reserve  book-entry  record-keeping system. The Federal
Reserve program as established by the Treasury Department is known as "STRIPS"
or  "Separate  Trading  of  Registered  Interest and Principal of Securities."
Under  the  STRIPS  program,  a  Portfolio will be able to have its beneficial
ownership  of  U.S.  Treasury  zero-coupon securities recorded directly in the
book-entry  record-keeping  system  in  lieu of having to hold certificates or
other  evidences  of  ownership  of  the  underlying U.S. Treasury securities.

When  debt  obligations have been stripped of their unmatured interest coupons
by  the  holder,  the  stripped  coupons are sold separately. The principal or
corpus is sold at a deep discount because the buyer receives only the right to
receive a future fixed payment on the security and does not receive any rights
to periodic cash interest payments. Once stripped or separated, the corpus and
coupons  may be sold separately. Typically, the coupons are sold separately or
grouped  with  other coupons with like maturity dates and sold in such bundled
form.   Purchasers  of  stripped  obligations  acquire,  in  effect,  discount
obligations  that  are  economically  identical  to the zero-coupon securities
issued  directly  by  the  obligor.

VARIABLE-  OR  FLOATING-RATE  SECURITIES

Certain Portfolios may invest in securities which offer a variable or floating
rate of interest. Variable-rate securities provide for automatic establishment
of    a    new  interest  rate  at  fixed  intervals  (e.g.,  daily,  monthly,
semi-annually,    etc.).    Floating-rate  securities  provide  for  automatic
adjustment  of  the  interest rate whenever some specified interest rate index
changes.  The  interest  rate  on  variable-  or  floating-rate  securities is
ordinarily  determined  by reference to, or is a percentage of, a bank's prime
rate,  the  90-day  U.S.  Treasury bill rate, the rate of return on commercial
paper  or bank certificates of deposit, an index of short-term interest rates,
or  some  other  objective  measure.

Variable-  or  floating-rate  securities  frequently  include a demand feature
entitling  the  holder  to  sell  the securities to the issuer at par. In many
cases,  the demand feature can be exercised at any time on seven days' notice;
in  other  cases,  the  demand  feature is exercisable at any time on 30 days'
notice  or  on  similar  notice  at  intervals of not more than one year. Some
securities  which  do  not  have  variable  or  floating interest rates may be
accompanied  by  puts  producing  similar  results  and price characteristics.

Variable-rate  demand  notes include master demand notes which are obligations
that  permit a Portfolio to invest fluctuating amounts, which may change daily
without  penalty,  pursuant  to  direct  arrangements between the Portfolio as
lender,  and  the  borrower.  The interest rates on these notes fluctuate from
time  to  time.  The  issuer  of such obligations normally has a corresponding
right,  after  a  given  period,  to  prepay in its discretion the outstanding
principal  amount  of  the  obligations plus accrued interest upon a specified
number  of  days' notice to the holders of such obligations. The interest rate
on a floating-rate demand obligation is based on a known lending rate, such as
a  bank's  prime  rate,  and  is adjusted automatically each time such rate is
adjusted.  The  interest rate on a variable-rate demand obligation is adjusted
automatically at specified intervals. Frequently, such obligations are secured
by  letters  of credit or other credit support arrangements provided by banks.
Because  these  obligations are direct lending arrangements between the lender
and  borrower,  it is not contemplated that such instruments will generally be
traded,  and  there generally is not an established secondary market for these
obligations,  although  they  are redeemable at face value. Accordingly, where
these obligations are not secured by letters of credit or other credit support
arrangements,  the  Portfolio's right to redeem is dependent on the ability of
the  borrower  to  pay  principal  and  interest  on  demand. Such obligations
frequently  are  not  rated  by  credit  rating  agencies.  If not so rated, a
Portfolio  may  invest  in them only if the Portfolio's Sub-Adviser determines
that,  at the time of investment, the obligations are of comparable quality to
the  other  obligations in which the Portfolio may invest. The Sub-Adviser, on
behalf  of a Portfolio, will consider on an ongoing basis the creditworthiness
of  the  issuers  of the floating- and variable-rate demand obligations in the
Portfolio's  portfolio.

LOWER-GRADE  SECURITIES

Certain    Portfolios  may  invest  in  lower-grade  income  securities.  Such
lower-grade securities are commonly referred to as "junk bonds." Investment in
such securities involves special risks, as described herein. Liquidity relates
to the ability of a Portfolio to sell a security in a timely manner at a price
which  reflects the value of that security. As discussed below, the market for
lower-grade  securities  is  considered  generally  to be less liquid than the
market  for investment-grade securities. The relative illiquidity of some of a
Portfolio's  portfolio  securities  may  adversely  affect  the ability of the
Portfolio  to  dispose  of  such  securities in a timely manner and at a price
which  reflects  the value of such security in the Sub-Adviser's judgment. The
market  for  less  liquid securities tends to be more volatile than the market
for more liquid securities and market values of relatively illiquid securities
may  be  more  susceptible  to  change  as  a  result of adverse publicity and
investor  perceptions  than are the market values of higher-grade, more liquid
securities.

A  Portfolio's  net  asset  value will change with changes in the value of its
portfolio  securities.  If a Portfolio invests in fixed-income securities, the
Portfolio's  net  asset  value  can be expected to change as general levels of
interest  rates  fluctuate.  When  interest  rates  decline,  the  value  of a
portfolio  invested  in  fixed-income  securities  can  be  expected  to rise.
Conversely,  when  interest  rates  rise, the value of a portfolio invested in
fixed-income securities can be expected to decline. Net asset value and market
value  may be volatile due to a Portfolio's investment in lower-grade and less
liquid  securities.  Volatility  may  be  greater  during  periods  of general
economic  uncertainty.

A  Portfolio's  investments  are  valued  pursuant  to  guidelines adopted and
periodically reviewed by the Board of Trustees. To the extent that there is no
established  retail market for some of the securities in which a Portfolio may
invest,  there  may  be relatively inactive trading in such securities and the
ability  of  the  Sub-Adviser  to  accurately  value  such  securities  may be
adversely  affected.  During  periods  of  reduced market liquidity and in the
absence  of  readily  available  market  quotations  for  securities held in a
Portfolio's  portfolio,  the  responsibility  of  the Sub-Adviser to value the
Portfolio's  securities  becomes more difficult and the Sub-Adviser's judgment
may  play a greater role in the valuation of the Portfolio's securities due to
the  reduced  availability  of  reliable  objective data. To the extent that a
Portfolio  invests  in illiquid securities and securities which are restricted
as  to  resale,  the  Portfolio  may  incur  additional  risks  and  costs.

Lower-grade securities generally involve greater credit risk than higher-grade
securities.  A general economic downturn or a significant increase in interest
rates  could  severely  disrupt  the  market  for  lower-grade  securities and
adversely  affect  the  market  value of such securities. In addition, in such
circumstances,  the  ability  of  issuers  of  lower-grade securities to repay
principal and to pay interest, to meet projected financial goals and to obtain
additional  financing  may be adversely affected. Such consequences could lead
to  an increased incidence of default for such securities and adversely affect
the  value of the lower-grade securities in a Portfolio's portfolio and thus a
Portfolio's  net  asset  value.  The  secondary  market  prices of lower-grade
securities  are less sensitive to changes in interest rates than are those for
higher-rated  securities,  but  are more sensitive to adverse economic changes
or individual issuer developments. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions,
whether  or  not  based  on  rational  analysis, may also affect the value and
liquidity  of  lower-grade  securities.

Yields on a Portfolio's portfolio securities can be expected to fluctuate over
time.  In  addition,  periods  of economic uncertainty and changes in interest
rates  can  be expected to result in increased volatility of the market prices
of  the  lower-grade securities in a Portfolio's portfolio and thus in the net
asset  value  of a Portfolio. Net asset value and market value may be volatile
due  to  a  Portfolio's  investment in lower-grade and less liquid securities.
Volatility  may be greater during periods of general economic uncertainty. The
Portfolios  may  incur  additional expenses to the extent they are required to
seek  recovery  upon  a  default  in the payment of interest or a repayment of
principal  on  their  portfolio  holdings, and the Portfolios may be unable to
obtain  full  recovery thereof. In the event that an issuer of securities held
by  a Portfolio experiences difficulties in the timely payment of principal or
interest  and  such  issuer  seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings,
such  Portfolio  may  incur  additional  expenses  and may determine to invest
additional  capital  with respect to such issuer or the project or projects to
which  the  Portfolio's  portfolio  securities  relate.

The  Portfolios  will  rely  on  each  Sub-Adviser's  judgment,  analysis  and
experience    in  evaluating  the  creditworthiness  of  an  issuer.  In  this
evaluation,  the Sub-Adviser will take into consideration, among other things,
the  issuer's  financial resources, its sensitivity to economic conditions and
trends,  its  operating  history,  the  quality of the issuer's management and
regulatory  matters.  The  Sub-Adviser also may consider, although it does not
rely  primarily  on,  the  credit  ratings  of  S&P  and Moody's in evaluating
fixed-income  securities.  Such  ratings evaluate only the safety of principal
and  interest  payments,  not  market  value  risk.  Additionally, because the
creditworthiness  of  an  issuer  may  change  more rapidly than is able to be
timely  reflected  in  changes in credit ratings, the Sub-Adviser continuously
monitors  the  issuers of such securities held in the Portfolio's portfolio. A
Portfolio  may,  if  deemed  appropriate by the Sub-Adviser, retain a security
whose  rating  has  been  downgraded  below B by S&P or below B by Moody's, or
whose  rating  has  been  withdrawn.

                           INVESTMENT  RESTRICTIONS

FUNDAMENTAL  INVESTMENT  RESTRICTIONS

The  following  investment restrictions are fundamental and may not be changed
with  respect  to  any  Portfolio  without  the  approval of a majority of the
outstanding  voting securities of that Portfolio. Under the Investment Company
Act  of  1940  and  the  rules thereunder, "majority of the outstanding voting
securities"  of  a Portfolio means the lesser of (1) 67% of the shares of that
Portfolio  present  at  a  meeting  if  the  holders  of  more than 50% of the
outstanding  shares  of  that Portfolio are present in person or by proxy, and
(2)  more than 50% of the outstanding shares of that Portfolio. Any investment
restrictions  which involve a maximum percentage of securities or assets shall
not  be  considered to be violated unless an excess over the percentage occurs
immediately  after,  and  is  caused  by,  an  acquisition  or  encumbrance of
securities or assets of, or borrowings by or on behalf of, a Portfolio, as the
case  may  be.

The  Trust  may  not,  on  behalf  of  a  Portfolio:

     (1)   With respect to 75% of its total assets, purchase the securities of
any  issuer  if  such  purchase  would  cause  more  than 5% of the value of a
Portfolio's  total  assets  to  be  invested  in  securities of any one issuer
(except  securities  issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any agency
or  instrumentality  thereof),  or  purchase  more than 10% of the outstanding
voting  securities  of  any  one  issuer;

     (2)        invest   more  than  25% of the value of its net assets in the
securities  (other  than  U.S.  Government Securities), of issuers in a single
industry,  except  that  this  policy shall not limit investment by the Global
Advisors  Money Market Portfolio in obligations of U.S. banks (excluding their
foreign  branches);

     (3)   borrow money (including reverse repurchase agreements), except as a
temporary  measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes or, with respect to
the  Global  Advisors  Money Market Portfolio, to facilitate redemptions, (and
not  for  leveraging  or investment, except with respect to reverse repurchase
agreements  and  dollar  roll transactions, to the extent such investments are
permitted  under  a  Portfolio's investment objectives and policies), provided
that  borrowings do not exceed an amount equal to 33-1/3% of the current value
of  the  Portfolio's assets taken at market value, less liabilities other than
borrowings. If at any time a Portfolio's borrowings exceed this limitation due
to  a decline in net assets, such borrowings will within three days be reduced
to  the  extent necessary to comply with this limitation. A Portfolio will not
purchase   investments  once  borrowed  funds  (including  reverse  repurchase
agreements)  exceed  5%  of  its  total  assets;

     (4)    make  loans to other persons, except loans of portfolio securities
and  except  to the extent that the purchase of debt obligations in accordance
with   its  investment  objectives  and  policies  or  entry  into  repurchase
agreements  may  be  deemed  to  be  loans;

     (5)   purchase or sell any commodity contract, except that each Portfolio
(other  than  the  Global  Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio),  to the extent
permitted  by  its  investment  objectives and policies, may purchase and sell
futures contracts based on debt securities, indexes of securities, and foreign
currencies  and  purchase  and  write options on securities, futures contracts
which it may purchase, securities indexes, and foreign currencies and purchase
forward contracts. (Securities denominated in gold or other precious metals or
whose  value  is  determined by the value of gold or other precious metals are
not  considered  to  be  commodity  contracts.)

     (6)    underwrite securities issued by other persons except to the extent
that,  in connection with the disposition of its portfolio investments, it may
be  deemed  to  be  an  underwriter  under  federal  securities  laws;

     (7)    purchase or sell real estate, although (with respect to Portfolios
other  than  the  Global  Advisors Money Market Portfolio) it may purchase and
sell  securities  which  are secured by or represent interests in real estate,
mortgage-related  securities,  securities  of companies principally engaged in
the  real  estate industry and participation interests in pools of real estate
mortgage  loans,  and  it  may  liquidate  real estate acquired as a result of
default  on  a  mortgage;

     (8)      issue  any  class of securities which is senior to a Portfolio's
shares of beneficial interest except as permitted under the Investment Company
Act  of  1940  or  by  order  of  the  SEC.

NON-FUNDAMENTAL  INVESTMENT  RESTRICTIONS

The  following  investment restrictions are non-fundamental and may be changed
by    the  Trustees  of  the  Trust  without  shareholder  approval.  Although
shareholder  approval  is  not  necessary,  the  Trust  intends  to notify its
shareholders  before  implementing  any material change in any non-fundamental
investment  restriction.

The  Trust  may  not,  on  behalf  of  a  Portfolio:

     (1)    invest more than 15% (except 10% with respect to the Credit Suisse
International Equity Portfolio and the Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio)
of  the  net  assets  of  a  Portfolio  (taken  at  market  value) in illiquid
securities,  including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days;

     (2)        purchase   securities  on  margin, except (with respect to all
Portfolios  other  than  the  Global  Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio) such
short-term  credits  as  may  be  necessary for the clearance of purchases and
sales of securities, and except (with respect to all Portfolios other than the
Global  Advisors  Money  Market Portfolio) that it may make margin payments in
connection  with  options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
forward  foreign  currency  contracts  and in connection with swap agreements;

     (3)  make short sales of securities unless such Portfolio (other than the
Global  Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio)  owns  an  equal  amount  of  such
securities    or  owns  securities  which,  without  payment  of  any  further
consideration, are convertible into or exchangeable for securities of the same
issue  as,  and  equal  in  amount  to,  the  securities  sold  short;

     (4)    make investments for the purpose of gaining control of a company's
management.

SUBSTANTIAL  SHAREHOLDERS

Shares   of  the  Portfolios  are  issued  and  redeemed  in  connection  with
investments  in  and  payments under certain variable annuity contracts issued
through  a  separate  account  of  the  Life  Company.  As of May 1, 1997, the
separate    account  of the Life Company was known to the  Board  of  Trustees
and  the  management  of the Trust to own of record 100% of the shares of each
Portfolio  of  the  Trust.

The  Declaration  of Trust provides that the Trust will indemnify its Trustees
and  officers  against  liabilities  and  expenses incurred in connection with
litigation  in  which  they  may be involved because of their offices with the
Trust,  except  if it is determined in the manner specified 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  or  that  such
indemnification  would  relieve any officer or Trustee of any liability to the
Trust  or  its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence,  or  reckless  disregard  of  his or her duties. The Trust, at its
expense,  may  provide liability insurance for the benefit of its Trustees and
officers.

INVESTMENT  ADVISER

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser (the
"Investment  Advisory  Agreement"),  the Adviser, at its expense, provides the
Portfolios  with  investment  advisory  services  and  advises and assists the
officers  of the Trust in taking such steps as are necessary or appropriate to
carry  out  the decisions of its Trustees regarding the conduct of business of
the  Trust  and  each  Portfolio.  The  fees  to  be paid under the Investment
Advisory  Agreement  are  set  forth  in  the  Trust's  prospectus.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is obligated to formulate
a continuing program for the investment of the assets of each Portfolio of the
Trust  in  a  manner  consistent  with each Portfolio's investment objectives,
policies  and restrictions and to determine from time to time securities to be
purchased,  sold, retained or lent by the Trust and implement those decisions,
subject  always  to  the  provisions  of  the Trust's Declaration of Trust and
By-laws,  and  of  the  Investment Company Act of 1940, and subject further to
such  policies  and  instructions  as  the  Trustees  may  from  time  to time
establish.

The  Investment  Advisory  Agreement  further  provides that the Adviser shall
furnish  the  Trust  with  office  space  and  necessary  personnel,  pay
ordinary office expenses, pay all executive salaries of the Trust and furnish,
without expense to the Trust, the services of such members of its organization
as  may  be  duly  elected  officers  or  Trustees  of  the  Trust.

Under  the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trust is responsible for all its
other  expenses  including, but not limited to, the following expenses: legal,
auditing  or  accounting  expenses,  Trustees'  fees  and  expenses, insurance
premiums, brokers' commissions, taxes and governmental fees, expenses of issue
or  redemption  of  shares,  expenses  of registering or qualifying shares for
sale,  reports  and  notices  to  shareholders,  and fees and disbursements of
custodians,  transfer  agents,  registrars,  shareholder  servicing agents and
dividend  disbursing  agents,  and certain expenses with respect to membership
fees  of  industry  associations.

Investment    Advisory    Agreement  provides  that  the  Adviser  may  retain
sub-advisers,  at  Adviser's own cost and expense, for the purpose of managing
the  investment  of  the  assets  of  one  or  more  Portfolios.

The  Investment  Advisory  Agreement provides that neither the Adviser nor any
director,  officer or employee of Adviser will be liable for any loss suffered
by  the  Trust  in  the  absence  of  willful  misfeasance,  bad  faith, gross
negligence  or  reckless disregard of obligations and duties. In addition, the
Agreement  provides  for  indemnification  of  the  Adviser  by  the  Trust.

The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated without penalty by vote of
the Trustees, as to any Portfolio by the shareholders of that Portfolio, or by
Adviser  on  60  days  written  notice.  The Agreement also terminates without
payment  of  any  penalty  in  the  event  of its assignment. In addition, the
Investment   Advisory  Agreement  may  be  amended  only  by  a  vote  of  the
shareholders  of the affected Portfolio(s), and provides that it will continue
in  effect  from  year to year only so long as such continuance is approved at
least  annually  with respect to each Portfolio by vote of either the Trustees
or  the  shareholders  of the Portfolio, and, in either case, by a majority of
the  Trustees  who are not "interested persons" of the Adviser. In each of the
foregoing  cases,  the  vote  of the shareholders is the affirmative vote of a
"majority  of  the outstanding voting securities" as defined in the Investment
Company  Act  of  1940.

The    Adviser  has  agreed  to waive that portion of its advisory  fee  which
is  in  excess  of  the  amount  payable  by  the  Adviser to each sub-adviser
pursuant
to  the  respective  sub-advisory  agreements  for each Portfolio until May 1,
1998.    In  addition,  the  Adviser  has  undertaken  to  bear all  operating
expenses
of  each  Portfolio,  excluding  the compensation of the Adviser,  that exceed
 .12%
of  each  Portfolio's average daily net assets until May 1, 1998.  Information
concerning  the  advisory  fees  waived and expenses reimbursed for the period
ended
December  31,  1996  is  contained  in  the  Prospectus.

For  the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, the Adviser was
paid  advisory  fees  as  follows:

TRUST  ADMINISTRATION

State  Street  Bank  and  Trust  Company provides certain accounting, transfer
agency,  and  other  services  to  the  Trust.

SUB-ADVISERS

Each  of the Sub-Advisers described in the Prospectus serves as Sub-Adviser to
one  or  more  of  the  Portfolios  of  the Trust pursuant to separate written
agreements.   Certain  services  provided  by,  and  the  fees  paid  to,  the
Sub-Advisers  are  described  in  the  Prospectus  under  "Management  of  the
Trust-Sub-Advisers."

INVESTMENT  DECISIONS

Investment  decisions  for  the  Trust  and  for the other investment advisory
clients of the Sub-Advisers are made with a view to achieving their respective
investment objectives and after consideration of such factors as their current
holdings,  availability  of  cash  for  investment,  and  the  size  of  their
investments generally. Frequently, a particular security may be bought or sold
for  only  one  client or in different amounts and at different times for more
than  one  but  less  than all clients. Likewise, a particular security may be
bought  for one or more clients when one or more other clients are selling the
security. In addition, purchases or sales of the same security may be made for
two  or  more  clients  of  a Sub-Adviser on the same day. In such event, such
transactions  will  be allocated among the clients in a manner believed by the
Sub-Adviser  to be equitable to each. In some cases, this procedure could have
an  adverse  effect on the price or amount of the securities purchased or sold
by  the  Trust.  Purchase  and  sale orders for the Trust may be combined with
those  of other clients of a Sub-Adviser in the interest of achieving the most
favorable  net  results  for  the  Trust.

BROKERAGE  AND  RESEARCH  SERVICES

Transactions on U.S. stock exchanges and other agency transactions involve the
payment  by  the  Trust  of negotiated brokerage commissions. Such commissions
vary  among  different brokers. Also, a particular broker may charge different
commissions  according  to  such  factors  as  the  difficulty and size of the
transaction.  Transactions  in foreign securities often involve the payment of
fixed  brokerage  commissions,  which  are  generally higher than those in the
United  States.  There  is  generally  no  stated  commission  in  the case of
securities  traded  in the over-the-counter markets, but the price paid by the
Trust  usually  includes  an  undisclosed  dealer  commission  or  mark-up. In
underwritten  offerings,  the  price  paid  by the Trust includes a disclosed,
fixed  commission  or  discount  retained  by  the  underwriter  or  dealer.
is  currently  intended  that  the  Sub-Advisers will place all orders for the
purchase  and  sale  of  portfolio  securities  for the Trust and buy and sell
securities  for the Trust through a substantial number of brokers and dealers.
In  so  doing,  the Sub-Advisers will use their best efforts to obtain for the
Trust  the  best  price and execution available. In seeking the best price and
execution,  the  Sub-Advisers, having in mind the Trust's best interests, will
consider  all  factors  they deem relevant, including, by way of illustration,
price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security,
the  amount  of  the  commission,  the  timing  of the transaction taking into
account  market  prices  and trends, the reputation, experience, and financial
stability  of  the broker-dealer involved, and the quality of service rendered
by  the  broker-dealer  in  other  transactions.

It  has  for  many  years  been  a  common practice in the investment advisory
business   for  advisers  of  investment  companies  and  other  institutional
investors  to  receive  research,  statistical,  and  quotation  services from
broker-dealers  who  execute  portfolio  transactions  for the clients of such
advisers.   Consistent  with  this  practice,  the  Sub-Advisers  may  receive
research,  statistical,  and  quotation  services from any broker-dealers with
whom  they  place the Trust's portfolio transactions. These services, which in
some  cases  may  also  be purchased for cash, include such matters as general
economic    and   security  market  reviews,  industry  and  company  reviews,
evaluations  of securities, and recommendations as to the purchase and sale of
securities.  Some of these services may be of value to the Sub-Advisers and/or
their  affiliates  in  advising  various  other clients (including the Trust),
although  not  all  of  these  services are necessarily useful and of value in
managing  the  Trust.  The  management  fees paid by the Trust are not reduced
because  the  Sub-Advisers  and/or their affiliates may receive such services.

As  permitted  by  Section  28(e)  of  the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a
Sub-Adviser  may  cause  a  Portfolio  to  pay  a  broker-dealer  who provides
brokerage  and  research  services  to  the Sub-Adviser an amount of disclosed
commission  for effecting a securities transaction for the Portfolio in excess
of  the  commission  which  another  broker-  dealer  would  have  charged for
effecting  that  transaction  provided that the Sub-Adviser determines in good
faith  that  such  commission  was  reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker-dealer viewed in terms
of  that  particular transaction or in terms of all of the accounts over which
investment  discretion  is  so exercised. A Sub-Adviser's authority to cause a
Portfolio to pay any such greater commissions is also subject to such policies
as  the  Adviser  or  the  Trustees  may  adopt  from  time  to  time.

During  the  Trust's  fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Portfolios paid
the
following  amounts  in  brokerage  commissions:

     $37,843


     DETERMINATION  OF  NET  ASSET  VALUE
The net asset value per share of each Portfolio is determined daily as of 4:00
p.m.  New  York  time  on  each  day  the  New York Stock Exchange is open for
trading.  The  New  York  Stock  Exchange  is normally closed on the following
national holidays: New Year's Day, President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence  Day,  Labor  Day,  Thanksgiving,  and  Christmas.

The  value  of a foreign security is determined in its national currency as of
the  close  of  trading on the foreign exchange on which it is traded or as of
4:00  p.m. New York time, if that is earlier, and that value is then converted
into  its  U.S.  dollar  equivalent  at the foreign exchange rate in effect at
noon,  New  York  time,  on  the  day  the  value  of  the foreign security is
determined.

The  valuation  of  the  Global  Advisors  Money  Market Portfolio's portfolio
securities  is  based  upon  their  amortized  cost,  which does not take into
account  unrealized securities gains or losses. This method involves initially
valuing  an  instrument  at  its  cost  and  thereafter  assuming  a  constant
amortization  to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact
of  fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument. By using
amortized  cost  valuation,  the  Trust seeks to maintain a constant net asset
value  of  $1.00  per  share  for  the Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio,
despite  minor  shifts  in the market value of its portfolio securities. While
this  method  provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during
which  value,  as  determined  by  amortized cost, is higher or lower than the
price  the Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio would receive if it sold the
instrument.  During  periods  of declining interest rates, the quoted yield on
shares  of  the  Global  Advisors Money Market Portfolio may tend to be higher
than  a like computation made by a fund with identical investments utilizing a
method  of valuation based on market prices and estimates of market prices for
all  of  its  portfolio instruments. Thus, if the use of amortized cost by the
Portfolio resulted in a lower aggregate portfolio value on a particular day, a
prospective  investor  in  the Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio would be
able  to  obtain  a somewhat higher yield if he or she purchased shares of the
Global  Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio on that day, than would result from
investment in a fund utilizing solely market values, and existing investors in
the  Global  Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio  would receive less investment
income.  The  converse  would apply on a day when the use of amortized cost by
the  Portfolio  resulted  in a higher aggregate portfolio value. However, as a
result  of  certain  procedures  adopted  by the Trust, the Trust believes any
difference  will  normally  be  minimal.

The  net  asset  value  of the shares of each of the Portfolios other than the
Global  Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio is determined by dividing the total
assets  of  the Portfolio, less all liabilities, by the total number of shares
outstanding.  Securities traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on
the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at their last-reported sale price
on  the  principal  exchange or reported by NASDAQ or, if there is no reported
sale,  and  in  the  case  of  over-the-counter securities not included in the
NASDAQ National Market System, at a bid price estimated by a broker or dealer.
Debt   securities,  including  zero-coupon  securities,  and  certain  foreign
securities  will be valued by a pricing service. Other foreign securities will
be  valued  by  the  Trust's  custodian.  Securities  for which current market
quotations  are  not readily available and all other assets are valued at fair
value  as  determined  in  good  faith  by  the  Trustees, although the actual
calculations  may  be  made by persons acting pursuant to the direction of the
Trustees.

If  any securities held by a Portfolio are restricted as to resale, their fair
value  is  generally determined as the amount which the Trust could reasonably
expect  to  realize  from  an  orderly  disposition  of such securities over a
reasonable  period  of  time. The valuation procedures applied in any specific
instance  are  likely  to  vary  from  case to case. However, consideration is
generally  given to the financial position of the issuer and other fundamental
analytical  data  relating  to  the  investment  and  to  the  nature  of  the
restrictions  on  disposition  of  the  securities (including any registration
expenses    that  might  be  borne  by  the  Trust  in  connection  with  such
disposition).  In  addition,  specific  factors are also generally considered,
such  as  the  cost  of  the  investment, the market value of any unrestricted
securities  of the same class (both at the time of purchase and at the time of
valuation),  the size of the holding, the prices of any recent transactions or
offers  with  respect  to such securities, and any available analysts' reports
regarding  the  issuer.

Generally,  trading  in  certain  securities  (such  as foreign securities) is
substantially  completed  each  day at various times prior to the close of the
New  York  Stock  Exchange. The values of these securities used in determining
the net asset value of the Trust's shares are computed as of such times. Also,
because  of  the  amount  of  time  required  to  collect  and process trading
information  as  to  large numbers of securities issues, the values of certain
securities  (such  as  convertible  bonds  and U.S. Government Securities) are
determined  based  on  market  quotations  collected earlier in the day at the
latest  practicable  time  prior  to  the close of the Exchange. Occasionally,
events affecting the value of such securities may occur between such times and
the  close  of  the Exchange which will not be reflected in the computation of
the  Trust's net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such
securities  occur  during such period, then these securities will be valued at
their  fair  value,  in  the  manner  described  above.

The  proceeds received by each Portfolio for each issue or sale of its shares,
and  all  income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject only to the
rights  of  creditors,  will  be specifically allocated to such Portfolio, and
constitute  the  underlying assets of that Portfolio. The underlying assets of
each Portfolio will be segregated on the Trust's books of account, and will be
charged  with the liabilities in respect of such Portfolio and with a share of
the general liabilities of the Trust. Expenses with respect to any two or more
Portfolios  may  be  allocated  in  proportion  to the net asset values of the
respective   Portfolios  except  where  allocations  of  direct  expenses  can
otherwise  be  fairly  made.

                                    TAXES

Each Portfolio of the Trust intends to qualify each year and elect to be taxed
as  a  regulated  investment  company  under Subchapter M of the United States
Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended  (the  "Code"). As a regulated
investment  company  qualifying  to  have  its  tax liability determined under
Subchapter  M, a Portfolio will not be subject to federal income tax on any of
its  net  investment income or net realized capital gains that are distributed
to  the  separate  account  of  the  Life Company. As a Massachusetts business
trust,  a  Portfolio  under  present  law will not be subject to any excise or
income  taxes  in  Massachusetts.

In  order  to  qualify  as a "regulated investment company," a Portfolio must,
among  other  things,  (a)  derive  at  least  90%  of  its  gross income from
dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the
sale  or  other  disposition  of stock, securities, or foreign currencies, and
other  income  (including  gains  from options, futures, or forward contracts)
derived  with  respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities,
or  currencies;  (b) derive less than 30% of its gross income from the sale or
other disposition of certain assets (including stock and securities) held less
than  three  months;  (c) diversify its holdings so that, at the close of each
quarter of its taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the value of its total assets
consists of cash, cash items, U.S. Government Securities, and other securities
limited  generally  with  respect to any one issuer to not more than 5% of the
total  assets of the Portfolio and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities  of  such  issuer,  and  (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its
assets is invested in the securities of any issuer (other than U.S. Government
Securities).  In  order  to  receive  the  favorable  tax  treatment  accorded
regulated  investment  companies and their shareholders, moreover, a Portfolio
must  in  general  distribute  at  least  90%  of its interest, dividends, net
short-term  capital  gain,  and  certain  other  income  each  year.

With  respect  to  investment  income  and  gains received by a Portfolio from
sources  outside  the  United  States, such income and gains may be subject to
foreign  taxes which are withheld at the source. The effective rate of foreign
taxes  in  which a Portfolio will be subject depends on the specific countries
in  which its assets will be invested and the extent of the assets invested in
each  such  country  and  therefore  cannot  be  determined  in  advance.

A Portfolio's ability to use options, futures, and forward contracts and other
hedging  techniques,  and  to  engage  in  certain  other transactions, may be
limited    by    tax    considerations.    A    Portfolio's   transactions  in
foreign-currency-denominated  debt instruments and its hedging activities will
likely  produce  a  difference between its book income and its taxable income.
This  difference  may cause a portion of the Portfolio's distributions of book
income  to  constitute  returns  of  capital  for  tax purposes or require the
Portfolio  to  make distributions exceeding book income in order to permit the
Trust  to continue to qualify, and be taxed under Subchapter M of the Code, as
a  regulated  investment  company.

Under federal income tax law, a portion of the difference between the purchase
price  of  zero-coupon  securities in which a Portfolio has invested and their
face  value  ("original  issue  discount")  is  considered to be income to the
Portfolio  each year, even though the Portfolio will not receive cash interest
payments  from these securities. This original issue discount (imputed income)
will  comprise a part of the net investment income of the Portfolio which must
be  distributed  to shareholders in order to maintain the qualification of the
Portfolio as a regulated investment company and to avoid federal income tax at
the  level  of  the  Portfolio.

It  is  the  policy  of each of the Portfolios to meet the requirements of the
Code  to  qualify  as a regulated investment company that is taxed pursuant to
Subchapter M of the Code. One of these requirements is that less than 30% of a
Portfolio's  gross  income  must  be  derived  from  gains  from sale or other
disposition  of securities held for less than three months (with special rules
applying  to  so-called  designated  hedges). Accordingly, a Portfolio will be
restricted  in  selling securities held or considered under Code rules to have
been  held  less  than  three  months,  and  in  engaging  in hedging or other
activities    (including    entering  into  options,  futures,  or  short-sale
transactions)  which  may  cause  the Trust's holding period in certain of its
assets  to  be  less  than  three  months.

This discussion of the federal income tax and state tax treatment of the Trust
and  its  shareholders is based on the law as of the date of this Statement of
Additional  Information. It does not describe in any respect the tax treatment
of  any  insurance or other product pursuant to which investments in the Trust
may  be  made.        For  further  information  concerning federal income tax
consequences  for  the  holders  of  the  VA  Contracts  of  the Life company,
investors  should  consult the prospectus used in connection with the issuance
of  their  VA  Contracts.

                         DIVIDENDS  AND  DISTRIBUTIONS

      GLOBAL ADVISORS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO. The net investment income of the
Global  Advisors  Money  Market  Portfolio  is  determined  as of the close of
trading  on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. New York time) on
each day on which the Exchange is open for business. All of the net investment
income  so  determined  normally  will  be  declared  as  a  dividend daily to
shareholders  of  record  as of the close of trading on the Exchange after the
purchase and redemption of shares. Unless the business day before a weekend or
holiday is the last day of an accounting period, the dividend declared on that
day  will  include  an  amount  in  respect  of the Portfolio's income for the
subsequent non-business day or days. No daily dividend will include any amount
of  net  income  in  respect  of  a  subsequent semi-annual accounting period.
Dividends  commence  on  the  next  business  day  after the date of purchase.
Dividends  declared  during  any  month  will  be  invested as of the close of
business  on  the  last  calendar  day of that month (or the next business day
after the last calendar day of the month if the last calendar day of the month
is  a non-business day) in additional shares of the Portfolio at the net asset
value  per  share,  normally  $1.00, determined as of the close of business on
that  day,  unless  payment  of  the  dividend  in  cash  has  been requested.

Net  income  of  the  Global  Advisors  Money Market Portfolio consists of all
interest income accrued on portfolio assets less all expenses of the Portfolio
and  amortized  market  premium.  Amortized  market  discount  is  included in
interest  income.  The  Portfolio  does  not  anticipate that it will normally
realize  any long-term capital gains with respect to its portfolio securities.

Normally  the  Global Advisors Money Market Portfolio will have a positive net
income  at  the time of each determination thereof. Net income may be negative
if  an  unexpected  liability  must  be accrued or a loss realized. If the net
income  of  the Portfolio determined at any time is a negative amount, the net
asset  value  per  share will be reduced below $1.00 unless one or more of the
following  steps, for which the Trustees have authority, are taken: (1) reduce
the   number  of  shares  in  each  shareholder's  account,  (2)  offset  each
shareholder's    pro    rata  portion  of  negative  net  income  against  the
shareholder's  accrued  dividend  account  or against future dividends, or (3)
combine  these  methods  in  order to seek to maintain the net asset value per
share  at  $1.00.  The Trust may endeavor to restore the Portfolio's net asset
value  per  share  to  $1.00  by  not  declaring  dividends from net income on
subsequent  days  until  restoration, with the result that the net asset value
per  share  will  increase  to  the extent of positive net income which is not
declared  as  a  dividend.

Should  the  Global  Advisors Money Market Portfolio incur or anticipate, with
respect  to  its  portfolio,  any unusual or unexpected significant expense or
loss  which  would  affect  disproportionately  the  Portfolio's  income for a
particular  period, the Trustees would at that time consider whether to adhere
to  the  dividend  policy described above or to revise it in light of the then
prevailing  circumstances  in  order  to ameliorate to the extent possible the
disproportionate effect of such expense or loss on then existing shareholders.
Such  expenses  or losses may nevertheless result in a shareholder's receiving
no  dividends  for  the  period during which the shares are held and receiving
upon  redemption  a  price  per  share  lower  than  that  which  was  paid.

       OTHER PORTFOLIOS. Each of the Portfolios other than the Global Advisors
Money  Market  Portfolio  will  declare  and  distribute  dividends  from  net
investment income, if any, and will distribute its net realized capital gains,
if  any, at least annually. Both dividends and capital gain distributions will
be made in shares of such Portfolios unless an election is made on behalf of a
separate  account to receive dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.

                           PERFORMANCE  INFORMATION

     GLOBAL ADVISORS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO: The Portfolio's yield is computed
by  determining  the  percentage net change, excluding capital changes, in the
value of an investment in one share of the Portfolio over the base period, and
multiplying  the  net  change  by  365/7  (or  approximately  52  weeks).  The
Portfolio's  effective yield represents a compounding of the yield by adding 1
to  the  number  representing the percentage change in value of the investment
during  the  base  period,  raising  that  sum  to a power equal to 365/7, and
subtracting  1  from  the  result.

     OTHER  PORTFOLIOS:

      (a)  A Portfolio's yield is presented for a specified 30-day period (the
"base period"). Yield is based on the amount determined by (i) calculating the
aggregate  of  dividends  and interest earned by the Portfolio during the base
period less expenses accrued for that period, and (ii) dividing that amount by
the  product  of  (A)  the  average  daily  number  of shares of the Portfolio
outstanding  during  the base period and entitled to receive dividends and (B)
the  net  asset  value  per share of the Portfolio on the last day of the base
period.  The  result  is  annualized  on  a compounding basis to determine the
Portfolio's  yield.  For this calculation, interest earned on debt obligations
held  by  a  Portfolio is generally calculated using the yield to maturity (or
first  expected  call  date)  of such obligations based on their market values
(or,  in  the case of receivables-backed securities such as Ginnie Maes, based
on  cost).  Dividends  on  equity securities are accrued daily at their stated
dividend  rates.

   As  required  by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
annualized  total return of a Portfolio for a period is computed by assuming a
hypothetical  initial  payment  of  $1,000. It is then assumed that all of the
dividends  and  distributions by the Portfolio over the period are reinvested.
It  is  then  assumed  that  at  the  end  of the period, the entire amount is
redeemed.  The  annualized  total return is then calculated by determining the
annual  rate  required  for  the  initial  payment to grow to the amount which
would  have  been  received  upon  redemption.

on  October  10,  1995  for the Money Market Portfolio and on October 20, 1995
for  the  BEA  Growth and Income, Credit Suisse International Equity Portfolio
and  Global  Advisors  Growth  Equity Portfolio. The performance figures shown

From  time  to time, Adviser may reduce its compensation or assume expenses in
respect  of  the  operations of a Portfolio in order to reduce the Portfolio's
expenses. Any such waiver or assumption would increase a Portfolio's yield and
total  return  during  the  period  of  the  waiver  or  assumption.
                          SHAREHOLDER  COMMUNICATIONS

Owners  of  Variable  Annuity  contracts  issued by the Life Company for which
shares  of  one  or more Portfolios are the investment vehicle are entitled to
receive  from  the Life Company unaudited semi-annual financial statements and
audited  year-end  financial  statements  certified by the Trust's independent
public  accountants.  Each  report  will  show  the  investments  owned by the
Portfolio  and  the  market  value  thereof and will provide other information
about  the  Portfolio  and  its  operations.

                       ORGANIZATION  AND  CAPITALIZATION

The  Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of The
Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  by  a Declaration of Trust dated December 12,
1994,  as  amended  April  19,  1995.

Shares  entitle  their  holders  to one vote per share, with fractional shares
voting  proportionally;  however,  a  separate  vote  will  be  taken  by each
Portfolio  on matters affecting an individual Portfolio. For example, a change
in  a  fundamental  investment  policy for the BEA Growth and Income Portfolio
would  be  voted  upon  only  by shareholders of that Portfolio. Additionally,
approval  of  the  Investment  Advisory Agreement is a matter to be determined
separately by each Portfolio. Approval by the shareholders of one Portfolio is
effective  as  to  that  Portfolio.  Shares  have noncumulative voting rights.
Although    the  Trust  is  not  required  to  hold  annual  meetings  of  its
shareholders, shareholders have the right to call a meeting to elect or remove
Trustees  or  to  take  other actions as provided in the Declaration of Trust.
Shares have no preemptive or subscription rights, and are transferable. Shares
are entitled to dividends as declared by the Trustees, and if a Portfolio were
liquidated,  the shares of that Portfolio would receive the net assets of that
Portfolio. The Trust may suspend the sale of shares at any time and may refuse
any  order  to  purchase  shares.

Additional  Portfolios  may  be  created  from  time  to  time  with different
investment  objectives  or  for use as funding vehicles for different variable
life   insurance  policies  or  variable  annuity  contracts.  Any  additional
Portfolios  may  be  managed by investment advisers or sub-advisers other than
the  current  Adviser  and  Sub-Advisers.  In  addition, the Trustees have the
right,  subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, to create more than one
class  of  shares  in a Portfolio, with the classes being subject to different
charges  and  expenses  and having such other different rights as the Trustees
may  prescribe  and  to  terminate  any  Portfolio  of  the  Trust.

                              PORTFOLIO  TURNOVER

The  portfolio  turnover  rate of a Portfolio is defined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission as the ratio of the lesser of annual sales or purchases to
the  monthly average value of the portfolio, excluding from both the numerator
and  the  denominator securities with maturities at the time of acquisition of
one  year  or  less.  Under  that definition, the Global Advisors Money Market
Portfolio would not calculate portfolio turnover. Portfolio turnover generally
involves  some  expense  to  a  Portfolio,  including brokerage commissions or
dealer  mark-ups  and  other  transaction  costs on the sale of securities and
reinvestment  in  other securities. The portfolio turnover rate of each of the
Portfolios    for    the  period  ended  December  31, 1995 for the applicable
Portfolios  and  December  31,  1996  for  all Portfolios is  set  forth under
"Financial  Highlights"  in  the  Prospectus.

                                  CUSTODIAN

State  Street  Bank  and Trust Company is the custodian of the Trust's assets.
The  custodian's  responsibilities  include  safeguarding  and controlling the
Trust's  cash and securities, handling the receipt and delivery of securities,
and  collecting  interest  and dividends on the Trust's investments. The Trust
may  employ  foreign sub-custodians that are approved by the Board of Trustees
to  hold  foreign  assets.

Legal  matters  in  connection  with  the  offering  are  being passed upon by
Blazzard,  Grodd  &  Hasenauer,  P.C.,  Westport,  Connecticut.

                             INDEPENDENT  AUDITORS

The  Trust  has  selected Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. as the independent auditors
who  audit  the  annual  financial  statements  of  the  Trust.

                            SHAREHOLDER  LIABILITY

Under  Massachusetts  law, shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be
held  personally  liable  for  the  obligations  of  the  Trust.  However, the
Declaration  of  Trust disclaims shareholder liability for acts or obligations
of  the  Trust  and  requires  that notice of such disclaimer be given in each
agreement,  obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the Trust or
the  Trustees.  The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of a
Portfolio's  property  for  all  loss  and  expense  of  any  shareholder held
personally  liable  for  the  obligations  of  a Portfolio. Thus the risk of a
shareholder's  incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
limited  to  circumstances  in which the Portfolio would be unable to meet its
obligations.

                         DESCRIPTION  OF  NRSRO  RATINGS

DESCRIPTION  OF  MOODY'S  CORPORATE  RATINGS

        Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa 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 by an
exceptionally  stable  margin  and  principal  is  secure.  While  the various
protective  elements  are  likely to change, such changes as can be visualized
are  most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

        Aa -- Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards.  Together with the Aaa group 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.

     A -- Bonds which are rated A 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.

     Baa    --    Bonds   which  are  rated Baa 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.

     Ba  --  Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements;
their  future  cannot  be  considered as well assured. Often the protection of
interest  and  principal  payments  may  be  very  moderate  and  thereby  not
well-safeguarded  during  both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty
of  position  characterizes  bonds  in  this  class.

     B    --    Bonds  which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the
desirable  investment.  Assurance  of  interest  and  principal payments or of
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be
small.

     Caa -- Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be
in  default  or  there  may  be  present  elements  of  danger with respect to
principal  or  interest.

     Ca  --  Bonds which represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree.  Such  issues  are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

     C -- Bonds which are the lowest-rated class of bonds. Issues so rated can
be  regarded  as  having  extremely  poor prospects of ever attaining any real
investment  standing.

DESCRIPTION  OF  S&P'S  CORPORATE  RATINGS

     AAA  --  Bonds  rated  AAA have the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's  to  a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
extremely  strong.

     AA  --  Bonds  rated  AA  have a very strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal and differ from the highest-rated issues only in small degree.

     A    --  Bonds  rated  A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal  although  they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects
of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than bonds in higher-rated
categories.

     BBB -- Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest    and  repay  principal.  Whereas  they  normally  exhibit  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  bonds  in  this  category  than  for  bonds  in  higher-rated
categories.

     BB,  B, CCC, CC and C-- Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C are regarded, on
balance, as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to
pay  interest  and  repay  principal  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of the
obligation.  BB  indicates  the  least degree of speculation and C the highest
degree  of  speculation.  While  such  debt  will likely have some quality and
protective  characteristics,  these  are  outweighed by large uncertainties or
major risk exposures to adverse conditions. A C rating is typically applied to
debt  subordinated  to  senior debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC
rating.  It  may also be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition
has  been  filed,  but  debt  service  payments  are  continued.

DESCRIPTION  OF  DUFF  CORPORATE  RATINGS

     AAA -- Highest credit quality. The risk factors are negligible being only
slightly  more  than  for  risk-free  U.S.  Treasury  debt.

     AA  --  Risk is modest but may vary slightly from time to time because of
economic  conditions.

     A  --  Protection factors are average but adequate. However, risk factors
are  more  variable  and  greater  in  periods  of  economic  stress.

     BBB -- Investment-grade. Considerable variability in risk during economic
cycles.

     BB  --  Below investment-grade but deemed likely to meet obligations when
due.  Present  or prospective financial protection factors fluctuate according
to  industry  conditions  or  company fortunes. Overall quality may move up or
down  frequently  within  this  category.

     B -- Below investment-grade and possessing risk that obligations will not
be  met when due. Financial protection factors will fluctuate widely according
to  economic  cycles,  industry  conditions and/or company fortunes. Potential
exists  for  frequent changes in quality rating within this category or into a
higher-  or  lower-quality  rating  grade.

     Substantial  Risk  --  Well  below investment-grade securities. May be in
default  or  have  considerable  uncertainty as to timely payment of interest,
preferred  dividends  and/or principal. Protection factors are narrow and risk
can  be substantial with unfavorable economic/industry conditions, and/or with
favorable  company  developments.

DESCRIPTION  OF  FITCH  CORPORATE  RATINGS

     AAA  -- Bonds considered to be investment-grade and of the highest credit
quality.  The  obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and
repay  principal,  which  is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable
events.

     AA--  Bonds  considered  to  be  investment-grade and of very high credit
quality.  The  obligor's  ability  to pay interest and repay principal is very
strong,  although  not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated
in  the  AAA and AA categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable
future  developments,  short-term  debt  of  these  issues  is generally rated
"[-]+."

     A  -- Bonds considered to be investment-grade and of high credit quality.
The  obligor's ability to pay interest and to 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.

     BBB -- Bonds considered to be investment-grade and of satisfactory credit
quality.  The  obligor's  ability  to  pay  interest and to repay principal is
considered  to  be  adequate.  Adverse  changes  in  economic  conditions  and
circumstances,  however,  are  more  likely to have an 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.

     BB    --  Bonds  considered  speculative and of low investment grade. The
obligor's  ability  to  pay  interest and repay principal is not strong and is
considered  likely  to  be  affected  over  time  by adverse economic changes.

     B -- Bonds considered highly speculative. Bonds in this class are lightly
protected  as  to  the  obligor's ability to pay interest over the life of the
issue  and  repay  principal  when  due.

     CCC  --  Bonds which may have certain identifiable characteristics which,
if  not remedied, could lead to the possibility of default in either principal
or  interest  payments.

     CC -- Bonds which are minimally protected. Default in payment of interest
and/or  principal  seems  probable.

     C    --    Bonds  which are in imminent default in payment of interest or
principal.
DESCRIPTION  OF  THOMSON  BANKWATCH,  INC.  CORPORATE  RATINGS

     AAA -- Long-term fixed-income securities that are rated AAA indicate that
the  ability  to  repay principal and interest on a timely basis is very high.

     AA  --  Long-term  fixed-income  securities  that are rated AA indicate a
superior  ability  to  repay  principal  and  interest  on a timely basis with
limited  incremental  risk  vs.  issues  rated  in  the  highest  category.

          TBW may apply plus ("+") and minus ("-") modifiers in the AAA and AA
categories  to  indicate  where  within  the respective category the issued is
placed.

DESCRIPTION  OF  IBCA  LIMITED  AND  IBCA  INC.  CORPORATE  RATINGS

     AAA -- Obligations which are rated AAA are considered to be of 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.

     AA  --  Obligations which are rated AA are considered to be of a very low
expectation of investment risk. 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.

DESCRIPTION  OF  S&P'S  COMMERCIAL  PAPER  RATINGS

         Commercial paper rated A-1 by S&P indicates that the degree of safety
regarding timely payments is either over-whelming or very strong. Those issues
determined  to  possess  overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted A-1+.
Capacity  for  timely payment on commercial paper rated A-2 is strong, but the
relative  degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1. An A-3
designation  indicates  an  adequate  capacity for timely payment. Issues with
this  designation,  however,  are  more  vulnerable  to the adverse effects of
changes  in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations. B
issues  are regarded as having only speculative capacity for timely payment. C
issues  have a doubtful capacity for payment. D issues are in payment default.
The D rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are
not made on the due date, even if the applicable grace period has not expired,
unless  Standard & Poor's believes that such payments will be made during such
grace  period.

DESCRIPTION  OF  MOODY'S  COMMERCIAL  PAPER  RATINGS

         The rating Prime-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by
Moody's.  Issuers  rated  Prime-1  (or  related  supporting  institutions) are
considered  to have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory
obligations.  Issuers  rated  Prime-2 (or related supporting institutions) are
considered  to  have  a strong capacity for repayment of short-term promissory
obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics of
issuers  rated  Prime-1  but  to  a lesser degree. Earnings trend and coverage
ratios,  while  sound,  will  be  more  subject  to  variation. Capitalization
characteristics,  while  still  appropriate,  may be more affected by external
conditions.  Ample  alternative  liquidity  is maintained. P-3 issuers have an
acceptable  capacity  for  repayment of short-term promissory obligations. The
effect  of  industry  characteristics  and  market  composition  may  be  more
pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in
the  level  of debt protection measurements and the requirement for relatively
high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained. Not Prime
issuers  do  not  fall  within  any  of  the  Prime  rating  categories.

DESCRIPTION  OF  DUFF  COMMERCIAL  PAPER  RATINGS

     The rating Duff-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by Duff
&  Phelps.  Paper  rated  Duff-1  is regarded as having very high certainty of
timely  payment  with excellent liquidity factors which are supported by ample
asset  protection.  Risk  factors are minor. 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.

DESCRIPTION  OF  FITCH  COMMERCIAL  PAPER  RATINGS

     The rating Fitch-1 (Highest Grade) is the highest commercial paper 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.

DESCRIPTION  OF  IBCA  LIMITED  AND  IBCA  INC.  COMMERCIAL  PAPER  RATINGS

     A1    -  Short-term  obligations  rated A1 are supported by a very strong
capacity  for  timely  repayment.  A  plus ("+") sign is added to those issues
determined  to  possess  the  highest  capacity  for  timely  payment.

     A2  -  Short-term 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  THOMSON  BANKWATCH,  INC.  COMMERCIAL  PAPER  RATINGS

     TBW-1 - Short-term obligations rated TBW-1 indicate a very high degree of
likelihood  that  principal  and  interest  will  be  paid  on a timely basis.

     TBW-2 - Short-term obligations rated TBW-2 indicate that while the degree
of  safety  regarding  timely payment of principal and interest is strong, the
relative  degree  of  safety  is  not  as  high  as  for  issues  rated TBW-1.

ITEM  25.      PERSONS  CONTROLLED  BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT

   The  shares  of  the  Trust  are  currently sold to WNL Separate Account A.


ITEM  26.      NUMBER  OF  HOLDERS  OF  SECURITIES

   WNL  Separate  Account  A  is  the  sole  shareholder  of  the  Trust.

ITEM  27.      INDEMNIFICATION

Each  officer, Trustee or agent of the Trust shall be indemnified by the Trust
to  the  full  extent  permitted under the General Laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), as amended,
except  that  such  indemnity  shall  not  protect any such person against any
liability  to  the Trust or any shareholder thereof to which such person would
otherwise  be  subject  by  reason  of  willful  misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence  or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his
office  ("disabling conduct").  Indemnification shall be made when (i) a final
decision  on  the  merits, by a court or other body before whom the proceeding
was  brought,  that  the  person to be indemnified was not liable by reason of
disabling  conduct  or,  (ii)  in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable
determination,  based  upon  a  review  of  the  facts,  that the person to be
indemnified  was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, by (a) the vote of
a majority of a quorum of Trustees who are neither "interested persons" of the
company  as  defined  in  section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, nor parties to the
proceedings  or  (b)  an  independent legal counsel in a written opinion.  The
Trust  may,  by  vote  of  a  majority  of  a  quorum  of Trustees who are not
interested  persons,  advance  attorneys'  fees  or other expenses incurred by
officers,    Trustees,  investment  advisers  or  principal  underwriters,  in
defending  a  proceeding upon the undertaking by or on behalf of the person to
be indemnified to repay the advance unless it is ultimately determined that he
is entitled to indemnification.  Such advance shall be subject to at least one
of  the  following:  (1) the person to be indemnified shall provide a security
for  his undertaking, (2) the Trust shall be insured against losses arising by
reason  of  any  lawful  advances,  or  (3)  a  majority  of  a  quorum of the
disinterested,  non-party  Trustees  of  the  Trust,  or  an independent legal
counsel  in  a  written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily
available  facts,  that  there  is  reason  to  believe  that the person to be
indemnified  ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.  The law of
Massachusetts  is  superseded by the 1940 Act insofar as it conflicts with the
1940  Act  or  rules  published  thereunder.

Insofar  as  indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933  may  be  permitted  to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant  pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore,  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 a trustee, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in  the  successful  defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such  trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
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  issue.

           SUB-ADVISERS

                            SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT


     AGREEMENT dated as of October 31, 1996, among VAN KAMPEN AMERICAN CAPITAL
ASSET  MANAGEMENT,  INC.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  "Sub-Adviser"), WNL
INVESTMENT  ADVISORY  SERVICES,  INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Adviser"),
and  WNL  SERIES  TRUST,  a  Massachusetts  business  trust  (the  "Trust").

     WHEREAS,  Adviser  has  entered  into  an  Investment  Advisory Agreement
(referred to herein as the "Advisory Agreement"), dated October 31, 1996, with
the  Trust, under which Adviser has agreed to act as investment adviser to the
Trust,  which  is  registered as an open-end diversified management investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"); and

     WHEREAS,  the  Advisory  Agreement provides that the Adviser may engage a
sub-adviser or sub-advisers for the purpose of managing the investments of the
Portfolios  of  the  Trust;  and

     WHEREAS,  the  Adviser desires to retain Sub-Adviser, which is engaged in
the  business  of rendering investment management services, to provide certain
investment  management  services  for the Van Kampen American Capital Emerging
Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") of the Trust as more fully described below;
and

     WHEREAS,  it  is  the  purpose  of  this  Agreement to express the mutual
agreements  of  the parties hereto with respect to the services to be provided
by  Sub-Adviser  to  Adviser  with  respect to the Portfolio and the terms and
conditions  under  which  such  services  will  be  rendered.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set  forth  herein,  the  parties  hereto  agree  as  follows:

     1.      SERVICES OF SUB-ADVISER.  The Sub-Adviser shall act as investment
counsel  to  the  Adviser  with  respect  to the Portfolio.  In this capacity,
Sub-Adviser  shall  have  the  following  responsibilities:

          (a)         to furnish continuous investment information, advice and
recommendations  to  the Adviser as to the acquisition, holding or disposition
of any or all of the securities or other assets which the Portfolio may own or
contemplate  acquiring  from  time  to  time;

          (b)       to cause its officers to attend meetings of the Adviser or
the  Trust  and furnish oral or written reports, as the Adviser may reasonably
require, in order to keep the Adviser and its officers and the Trustees of the
Trust and appropriate officers of the Trust fully informed as to the condition
of  the investment securities of the Portfolio, the investment recommendations
of the Sub-Adviser, and the investment considerations which have given rise to
those  recommendations;

          (c)       to furnish such statistical and analytical information and
reports  as  may  reasonably be required by the Adviser from time to time; and

          (d)          to  supervise  and place orders for the purchase, sale,
exchange  and conversion of securities as directed by the appropriate officers
of  the  Trust  or  of  the  Adviser.

     2.      OBLIGATIONS OF THE ADVISER.  The Adviser shall have the following
obligations  under  this  Agreement:

          (a)       to keep the Sub-Adviser continuously and fully informed as
to  the composition of the Portfolio's investment securities and the nature of
the  Portfolio's  assets  and  liabilities;

          (b)     to keep the Sub-Adviser continually and fully advised of the
Portfolio's  investment objectives, and any modifications and changes thereto,
as  well as any specific investment restrictions or limitations by sending the
Sub-Adviser  copies  of  each  registration  statement;

          (c)          to furnish the Sub-Adviser with a certified copy of any
financial  statement  or  report  prepared  for  the Trust with respect to the
Portfolio  by  certified or independent public accountants, and with copies of
any  financial  statements  or reports made by the Trust to shareholders or to
any  governmental body or securities exchange and to inform the Sub-Adviser of
the results of any audits or examinations by regulatory authorities pertaining
to  the  Portfolio,  if  these  results  affect  the  services provided by the
Sub-Adviser  pursuant  to  this  Agreement;

          (d)         to furnish the Sub-Adviser with any further materials or
information  which  the  Sub-Adviser  may  reasonably  request to enable it to
perform  its  functions  under  this  Agreement;  and

          (e)        to compensate the Sub-Adviser for its services under this
Agreement  by  the  payment of fees as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

     3.    PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS.  The Sub-Adviser shall place all orders for
the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the account of the Portfolio
with  broker-dealers  selected  by  the  Sub-Adviser.   In executing portfolio
transactions  and  selecting broker-dealers, the Sub-Adviser will use its best
efforts  to  seek best execution on behalf of the Portfolio.  In assessing the
best  execution  available for any transaction, the Sub-Adviser shall consider
all  factors  it  deems  relevant,  including the breadth of the market in the
security,  the  price  of  the security, the financial condition and execution
capability  of the broker-dealer, and the reasonableness of the commission, if
any  (all  for  the  specific  transaction  and  on  a  continuing basis).  In
evaluating the best execution available, and in selecting the broker-dealer to
execute  a  particular  transaction,  the  Sub-Adviser  may  also consider the
brokerage  and  research services (as those terms are used in Section 28(e) of
the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934) provided to the Portfolio and/or other
accounts  over  which the Sub-Adviser, an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser (to the
extent  permitted  by  law)  or  another  investment  adviser of the Portfolio
exercises  investment  discretion.  The Sub-Adviser is authorized to cause the
Portfolio  to  pay  a  broker-dealer  who provides such brokerage and research
services  a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio
which  is  in  excess  of the amount of commission another broker-dealer would
have  charged  for effecting that transaction if, but only if, the Sub-Adviser
determines  in  good  faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to
the  value  of  the  brokerage  and  research  services  provided  by  such
broker-dealer  viewed  in  terms of that particular transaction or in terms of
all  of  the  accounts  over  which  investment  discretion  is  so exercised.

     4.    MARKETING SUPPORT.  The Sub-Adviser shall provide marketing support
to  the Adviser in connection with the sale of Trust shares and/or the sale of
variable  annuity  and  variable  life  insurance  contracts issued by Western
National  Life  Insurance  Company  and its affiliates which may invest in the
Trust  (collectively,  the  "Life  Company"),  as  reasonably requested by the
Adviser.    Such  support  shall  include,  but not necessarily be limited to,
presentations  by  representatives  of the Sub-Adviser at investment seminars,
conferences  and  other  industry  meetings.     Any materials utilized by the
Adviser  which  contain  any  information relating to the Sub-Adviser shall be
submitted to the Sub-Adviser for approval prior to use, not less than five (5)
business  days  before  such approval is needed by the Adviser.  Any materials
utilized  by  the  Sub-Adviser  which  contain any information relating to the
Adviser,  the Life Company (including any information relating to its separate
accounts  or  variable  annuity  or  variable life insurance contracts) or the
Trust  shall  be  submitted to the Adviser for approval prior to use, not less
than five (5) business days before such approval is needed by the Sub-Adviser.

     5.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and  governed  by  the  laws  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts.

     6.     EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT.  This Agreement will become binding on the
parties  hereto  upon  their  execution  of  the  attached  Exhibit  A to this
Agreement.

     7.      COMPLIANCE  WITH LAWS. The Sub-Adviser represents that it is, and
will  continue  to  be  throughout  the  term of this Agreement, an investment
adviser  registered  under  all  applicable  federal  and  state laws.  In all
matters  relating  to  the performance of this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will
act  in  conformity with the Trust's Declaration of Trust, Bylaws, and current
registration  statement  applicable to the Portfolio and with the instructions
and direction of the Adviser and the Trust's Trustees, and will conform to and
comply  with  the  1940 Act and all other applicable federal or state laws and
regulations.

     8.    TERMINATION.  This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the
termination  of  the  Advisory Agreement.  This Agreement may be terminated at
any time, without penalty, by the Adviser or by the Trust by giving sixty (60)
days'  written  notice of such termination to the Sub-Adviser at its principal
place  of business, provided that such termination is approved by the Board of
Trustees  of  the  Trust  or  by  vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities  (as that phrase is defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act) of
the  Portfolio.    This  Agreement  may  be  terminated  at  any  time  by the
Sub-Adviser by giving 60 days' written notice of such termination to the Trust
and  the  Adviser  at  their  respective  principal  places  of  business.

     9.      ASSIGNMENT.   This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the
event  of  any  assignment  (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the
1940  Act)  of  this  Agreement.

     10.    TERM.  This Agreement shall begin on the date of its execution and
unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms shall continue in effect
until  April 30, 1997 and from year to year thereafter provided continuance is
specifically  approved  at  least  annually  by  the vote of a majority of the
Trustees of the Trust who are not parties hereto or interested persons (as the
term  is  defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of any such party, cast
in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval of the
terms  of  such  renewal,  and  by  either  the  Trustees  of the Trust or the
affirmative  vote  of  a  majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Portfolio  (as  that  phrase  is defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act).

     11.  AMENDMENTS.  This Agreement may be amended only with the approval by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Portfolio  (as that phrase is defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act) and
the  approval  by  the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are
not  parties  hereto or interested persons (as that term is defined in Section
2(a)(19)  of  the  1940  Act)  of  any such party, cast in person at a meeting
called  for  the  purpose  of voting on the approval of such amendment, unless
otherwise  permitted  in  accordance  with  the  1940  Act.

     12.   INDEMNIFICATION.  The Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Sub-Adviser,  its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls
the Sub-Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933
("1933  Act")  (any  and all such persons shall be referred to as "Indemnified
Party"),  against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including the
reasonable  cost  of  investigating  or defending any alleged loss, liability,
claim,  damages  or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection
therewith),  arising  by  reason  of  any  matter  to  which this Sub-Advisory
Agreement  relates.  However, in no case (i) is this indemnity to be deemed to
protect  any  particular Indemnified Party against any liability to which such
Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of
reckless  disregard  of  its  obligations  and  duties under this Sub-Advisory
Agreement  or  (ii)  is  the  Adviser  to  be liable under this indemnity with
respect to any claim made against any particular Indemnified Party unless such
Indemnified  Party  shall  have  notified  the  Adviser  in  writing  within a
reasonable  time  after  the  summons  or  other  first  legal  process giving
information  of  the  nature  of  the  claim  shall  have been served upon the
Sub-Adviser  or  such  controlling  persons.

     The Sub-Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser and each of
its  directors  and  officers  and each person if any who controls the Adviser
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any loss, liability,
claim,  damage  or expense described in the foregoing indemnity, but only with
respect  to  the  Sub-Adviser's  willful  misfeasance,  bad  faith  or  gross
negligence in the performance of its duties under this Sub-Advisory Agreement.
In  case  any  action  shall  be  brought against the Adviser or any person so
indemnified,  in  respect  of  which  indemnity  may  be  sought  against  the
Sub-Adviser,  the  Sub-Adviser  shall  have the rights and duties given to the
Adviser,  and the Adviser and each person so indemnified shall have the rights
and  duties  given to the Sub-Adviser by the provisions of subsections (i) and
(ii)  of  this  section.
