                     DEVCAP SHARED RETURN FUND (the "Fund")


   INTRODUCTION OF NEW CONTRIBUTION ELECTION LEVELS FOR
   CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION PROGRAM

On  October  1,  1998,  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  DEVCAP  Trust  approved  a
modification  of  the  charitable  contribution  election  levels  available  to
shareholders of the Fund.  Previously,  upon initial  investment in the Fund the
shareholder  would  declare an  intention  to make an annual  donation to DEVCAP
Non-Profit  of  fifty  percent,  seventy-five  percent,  or all  of  the  annual
contribution  basis  derived  from the  shareholder's  investment  in the  Fund.
Effective  October  5,  1998,  shareholders  of the  Fund  may  elect  to make a
charitable  contribution  to DEVCAP  Non-Profit  of ten percent and  twenty-five
percent  of  the  annual   contribution   basis, in  addition  to  the  previous
contribution levels of fifty percent,  seventy five percent or all of the annual
contribution basis. DEVCAP Non-Profit will direct the shareholder's  donation to
non-profit  organizations  (primarily Catholic Relief Services, Inc.) working to
improve the welfare of underprivileged  persons in developing  countries through
grants or loans for micro-enterprises and other economic development programs.

   CHANGES TO TIMING OF CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION PROCESS

In the interest of facilitating the calculation of the charitable  contribution,
the time frame  that the Fund  mails  notice  each year to each  shareholder  of
record estimating the dollar amount of the shareholder's charitable contribution
for the year has been  moved  forward  from  December 1 to on or about the third
week of November.

The date that the Fund requires the shareholder to notify the Fund of any change
in contribution  election also has been moved forward to on or before the second
Friday of each December.  Notice should be delivered to the Fund's  address,  as
follows,  for  these  purposes:  DEVCAP  Shared  Return  Fund,  P.O.  Box  2152,
Milwaukee,   WI  53201-2152.   Shareholders  may  also  make  changes  to  their
contribution  election by telephone.  The telephone number for these purposes is
(800) 371-2655, Option 3.

The shareholder's  annual contribution will be calculated by the Fund's transfer
agent,
