                           DEVCAP SHARED RETURN FUND
 
   Supplement to Prospectus Dated October 16, 1995, as Amended March 29, 1996
 
              The following is inserted after the paragraph captioned "Automatic
Investment Plan" on page 18 of the Prospectus:
 
                         Individual Retirement Accounts
 
     Shares  of the  Fund  may be used as a  funding  medium  for an  Individual
Retirement Account ("IRA"). An IRA plan approved by the Internal Revenue Service
is available  from the  distributor  naming  Investors  Bank & Trust  Company as
custodian.  The  minimum  initial  investment  for an IRA is  $250;  there is no
minimum for subsequent investments.  IRAs are available to individuals under age
70 1/2 who  receive  compensation  or earned  income  during  the  year.  An IRA
contribution by an individual who participates, or whose spouse participates, in
a  tax-qualified  or  Government-approved  retirement plan may not be deductible
depending upon various factors,  including the individual's income.  Individuals
may also establish an IRA to receive a "rollover"  distribution from another IRA
or a qualified plan. Tax advice should be obtained before planning a rollover.
 
     IRA accounts and the Fund's charitable  contribution  program. As described
above under the section header "Charitable  Contribution  Program," while shares
equal to the value of a shareholder's charitable contribution amount are usually
redeemed  automatically  pursuant to the shareholder's  charitable  contribution
instructions, shares may not be redeemed in this way from an IRA account without
incurring  certain tax liabilities  associated with early  withdrawals  from IRA
accounts.  Therefore,  for IRA accounts only,  shareholders will be requested to
remit their charitable  contribution from a source other than their IRA account.
By January 31 of each year, the Fund will mail a notice to each IRA  shareholder
indicating the  shareholder's  charitable  contribution  amount for the previous
year. Each  shareholder  will then be requested to make a contribution to DEVCAP
equal in value to his or her charitable  contribution amount payable by check or
credit  card.  For  more  information   regarding  how  the  Fund  calculates  a
shareholder's   annual   charitable   contribution   amount,   see  "Charitable
Contribution Program" above.
 
                  The date of this Supplement is June 3, 1996.
