                         Supplement dated March 24, 1997
                     to the Prospectus dated March 16, 1997


The Prospectus is revised to restate the hypothetical  examples shown to reflect
the effect of total fund  operating  expenses on an  investment  over time.  The
sub-section captioned "Examples" on pages 4 and 5 is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

         o  Examples.  To try  to  show  the  effect  of  these  expenses  on an
investment  over time, we have created the  hypothetical  examples  shown below.
Assume  that you make a $1,000  investment  in shares of the Fund,  and that the
Fund's annual  return is 5%, and that its operating  expenses are the ones shown
in the Annual Fund Operating  Expenses  table above.  If you were to redeem your
shares at the end of each period shown below,  your  investment  would incur the
following expenses by the end of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years:

                         1 year       3 years       5 years      10 years*
                         --------     ---------     ---------    -----------
     Class A Shares      $55          $72           $91          $144
     Class B Shares      $67          $83           $111         $154
     Class C Shares      $27          $53           $91          $198

If you did not redeem  your  investment, it would incur the following expenses:

                         1 year       3 years       5 years      10 years*
                         --------     ---------     ---------    -----------
     Class A Shares      $55          $72           $91          $144
     Class B Shares      $17          $53           $91          $154
     Class C Shares      $17          $53           $91          $198

*In the first example, expenses include the Class A initial sales charge of 
4.75% and the applicable  Class B or Class C contingent  deferred sales charge.
In the second example,  Class A expenses  include the initial  sales  charge,  
but Class B and Class C expenses do not include  contingent  deferred sales 
charges.  Because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge and contingent  
deferred sales charge imposed on Class B and Class C shares,  long-term holders 
of Class B and Class C shares could pay the economic equivalent of more than 
the maximum                                                      
                                                                 (continued)

front-end sales charge allowed under applicable regulations.  For Class B 
shareholders, the automatic conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares is 
designed to minimize the  likelihood  that this will occur.  See "How to Buy 
Shares - Buying  Class B Shares" for more information.

These examples show the effect of expenses on an investment, but are not meant
to state or predict actual or expected costs or investment returns of the Fund,
which may be more or less than the amounts shown.
