WARBURG PINCUS POST-VENTURE CAPITAL FUND
Supplement to the Prospectus dated December 29, 1995
The Board of Directors of Warburg Pincus Post-Venture Capital Fund (the
"Fund") has unanimously approved a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (the
"Sub-Advisory Agreement") among the Fund, Warburg, Pincus Counsellors, Inc., the
Fund's investment adviser ("Warburg"), and Abbott Capital Management, L.P.
("Abbott"), pursuant to which Abbott would become the sub-investment adviser to
the Fund. The Sub-Advisory Agreement will be presented to Fund shareholders for
their consideration at a meeting scheduled to be held on May 10, 1996. If the
Sub-Advisory Agreement is approved by shareholders, Abbott would invest a
portion of the Fund's assets (up to 10%) in private investment partnerships that
invest in companies in the venture capital and post-venture capital stages of
development. Abbott is an independent specialized investment firm with assets
under management of approximately $3 billion. Warburg, out of its own resources,
would pay Abbott a sub-advisory fee.
