FUND GOAL, PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES, PERFORMANCE AND PRINCIPAL RISK
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

GOAL The Weiss  Millennium  Opportunity  Fund seeks  capital  appreciation. The
Fund's investment objective may be changed without shareholder approval.

PRINCIPAL   STRATEGIES   In  seeking  its   investment   objective   of  capital
appreciation,   the  Fund  will  invest  primarily  in  a  portfolio  of  equity
securities,  such as  common  stocks,  and will  engage  in short  sales of such
securities.  The Fund's investment manager, Weiss Money Management,  Inc. (which
we refer to as "Weiss" or the "Manager"), will use both fundamental analysis and
proprietary  computer models to identify those securities to be purchased,  sold
or sold short.

PERFORMANCE Since this is a new fund, no past performance data are available.

PRINCIPAL  RISKS There are market and  investment  risks with any security.  The
value of an investment in the Fund will  fluctuate  over time and it is possible
to lose money invested in the Fund.

     o Stock  Market The Fund's  return and net asset value will go up and down,
     and it is  possible  to lose  money  invested  in the  Fund.  Stock  market
     movements  will affect the Fund's share price on a daily basis.  The Fund's
     portfolio  securities  could  lose  value as a result of a  decline  in the
     overall stock market. When the Fund purchases a stock, it is said to have a
     "long" position in that stock.  Selling a stock "short" means that the Fund
     has sold a stock it does not own with the expectation  that it will be able
     to buy the stock later at a lower  price in order to close the  transaction
     and  realize  a gain on the  difference  between  the  respective  sale and
     purchase prices.  The Fund's  investment  results will suffer if there is a
     stock  market  advance  when  the  Fund  has  significant   "short"  equity
     positions,  or if  there  is a stock  market  decline  when  the Fund has a
     significant "long" equity position.

o    Equity Investing An investment in the common stock of a company  represents
     a proportionate  ownership  interest in that company.  Therefore,  the Fund
     participates  in the  success or  failure of any  company in which it holds
     stock.  In  addition,  the  market  value of common  stocks  can  fluctuate
     significantly.

o    Long-Short  Investing If the Fund's  Manager takes long positions in stocks
     that decline in value or short  positions in stocks that increase in value,
     then the losses of the Fund may exceed  those of other stock  mutual  funds
     that hold long  positions  only.  Since the Fund is not  restricted  in the
     amount of its assets  that may be  allocated  to short  sales,  significant
     short equity  positions could increase the Fund's risk profile.  Investment
     in shares of the Fund is more  volatile  and risky than many  other  mutual
     funds or other forms of investment.

o    Industry  Concentration At times, 25% or more of the Fund's assets could be
     invested in the stock of companies  within the same industry.  As a result,
     the Fund may be subject to greater  market  fluctuation  than a mutual fund
     which  owns   securities   representing   a  broader  range  of  investment
     alternatives.

o    Portfolio Strategy The Manager's skill in choosing appropriate  investments
     for the Fund will determine in large part the Fund's ability to achieve its
     investment  objective.  The risk exists  that the  Manager may  incorrectly
     allocate the Fund's investments between long and short equity positions.

o    Inflation  There is a  possibility  that the  rising  prices  of goods  and
     services may have the effect of offsetting the Fund's real return.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exchange Fee                                                            $5.00

(2)  A $15 service fee may be charged for redemptions by wire.


ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (Expenses that are deducted from Fund assets)


Management Fee:                                                  1.50%

Other Expenses:*                                                 0.91%

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses:                            2.41%

EXAMPLE:
This  example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual Funds.  The example  assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods.  Although your actual costs may be higher or
lower than those in this example, based on these assumptions your cost would be:

1 YEAR                                                                $317
3 YEARS                                                               $821

The example also assumes that your  investment  has a 5% return each year,  that
the  Fund's  operating   expenses  remain  the  same,  and  that  dividends  and
distributions are reinvested.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS AND RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Manager uses a variety of investments  and investment  techniques in seeking
to achieve  the Fund's  investment  objective.  The  Fund's  primary  investment
strategies  are  described  below;  however,  the Fund may also  invest in other
securities,  use other strategies or engage in other investment practices. These
investments and strategies,  as well as those described in this prospectus,  are
described in detail in the  Statement of  Additional  Information.  Although the
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective,  there is no assurance it
will be successful.

The Fund employs a long-short approach.  With this approach,  the Fund will seek
to purchase stocks of companies that, in the Manager's opinion,  have (1) strong
or improving  fundamentals,  (2) lower  vulnerability to adverse factors such as
Year 2000 ("Y2K") related  problems or deflation,  and/or (3) operate in sectors
of the market that show accelerating  momentum and strong relative strength.  At
the same  time,  the Fund will seek to sell short  stocks of  issuers  which the
Manager  believes  have  (1) weak or  deteriorating  fundamentals,  (2)  greater
vulnerability  to adverse  factors,  and/or (3) operate in sectors of the market
that show decelerating momentum and weak relative strength. Although the Manager
expects that the Fund's  "long" equity  positions  will  generally  outweigh its
"short" equity positions, the Fund is not restricted in the amount of its assets
that  it  may  commit  to  short  sales.  At  times  the  Fund's  assets  may be
concentrated in the securities of issuers within the same industry.

The following describes the Manager's investment approach in greater detail.

Analysis:

o    Fundamental analysis: Companies are evaluated for their fundamental ability
     to withstand, or even take advantage of, adverse economic conditions,  such
     as the Y2K computer problem (considered paramount factors in the years 1999
     and 2000) as well as global deflation or a domestic recession. Factors such
     as cash  flow,  asset  values,  competitive  position,  current  price  and
     industry  outlook may also be  considered.  A Strongest  List and a Weakest
     List are produced based on this analysis.

o    Sector  analysis:  A proprietary  computer model  evaluates  various market
     sectors to aid the  Manager  in  selecting  for  purchase  securities  from
     sectors of the economy that are showing  strength or,  conversely,  selling
     securities short in sectors that are showing weakness.

o    Market trend analysis:  Based on a proprietary model, a bullish (indicating
     a rising  market)  or  bearish  (indicating  a  falling  market)  signal is
     generated.

Security Selection:

o A Buy Candidates List is created containing stocks in sectors ranked high.

     o A Short-Sale  Candidates  List is created  with stocks in sectors  ranked
low. Portfolio Structure:

The Fund's assets will normally be invested as set forth below. Depending on the
Manager's  perception  of  market  conditions,   these  percentages  may  differ
substantially at various times.

o    Approximately  30% of the  Fund's  portfolio  will  be  allocated  to  core
     positions  (positions the Manager intends to hold for a while). The Manager
     intends to split these between (a) long  positions in stocks  selected from
     the  Strongest  List and (b) short  positions in stocks  selected  from the
     Weakest List.

o    Approximately  50% of the Fund's  portfolio will consist of actively traded
     equity  positions.  In a bullish  market trend,  trading  positions will be
     primarily  allocated  to long  positions  in stocks  selected  from the Buy
     Candidates  List. In a bearish market trend,  this portion of the portfolio
     will consist  primarily of short equity  positions in stocks  selected from
     the Short-Sale Candidates List.

o    Approximately  20% of  the  Fund's  portfolio  will  be  invested  in  debt
     securities  issued or guaranteed by the United  States  government  and its
     agencies  or   instrumentalities,   debt  securities  of  investment  grade
     corporate  issuers  and zero  coupon  bonds.  For  temporary  defensive  or
     emergency purposes, the Fund's exposure to these types of securities may be
     increased significantly.

EQUITY  SECURITIES Since it purchases common stocks (referred to above as taking
a "long"  equity  position),  the Fund is subject to the risk that stock  prices
will fall over  short or  extended  periods  of time.  Historically,  the equity
markets have moved in cycles,  and the value of the Fund's equity securities may
fluctuate  drastically  from day to day.  Individual  companies  may report poor
results  or be  negatively  affected  by  industry  and/or  economic  trends and
developments.  The prices of  securities  issued by such  companies may suffer a
decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility.

SHORT  SALES When the  Manager  anticipates  that the price of a  security  will
decline,  it may sell the  security  short and borrow the same  security  from a
broker or other  institution to complete the sale (referred to above as taking a
"short" equity  position).  The Fund may make a profit or incur a loss depending
upon whether the market price of the security decreases or increases between the
date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund must  replace the borrowed
security. An increase in the value of a security sold short by the Fund over the
price at which it was sold  short will  result in a loss to the Fund,  and there
can be no  assurance  that the Fund will be able to close out the  position at a
particular time or at an acceptable price.

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES  Although equity securities are the primary focus of the
Fund, the Manager  intends to purchase fixed income  securities in attempting to
achieve the Fund's  objective.  Under normal  circumstances  it is expected that
approximately  20% of the Fund's  portfolio will be invested in such securities.
The market  values of fixed  income  investments  change in response to interest
rate changes and other factors.  During periods of falling  interest rates,  the
values of outstanding fixed income  securities  generally rise.  Further,  while
securities with longer  maturities tend to produce higher yields,  the prices of
longer maturity  securities are also subject to greater market fluctuations as a
result of changes in interest  rates.  In addition to these  fundamental  risks,
different  types of fixed  income  securities  may be subject  to the  following
additional risks:

     o Credit  Quality Risk - The  possibility  that an issuer will be unable to
make timely payments of either principal or interest.

o    Prepayment or Call Risk - During periods of falling interest rates, certain
     debt  obligations  with high interest rates may be prepaid (or "called") by
     the issuer  prior to  maturity.  As a result,  the Fund may be  required to
     invest the proceeds from such investments at lower interest rates.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS During unusual economic or market conditions, or
for temporary defensive or emergency purposes, the Fund may invest up to 100% of
its assets in cash or cash  equivalents,  shares of money market  mutual  funds,
commercial paper, zero coupon bonds, repurchase agreements, and other securities
the Manager  believes to be consistent with the Fund's best interests.  During a
period in which the Fund takes a temporary defensive position,  the Fund may not
achieve its investment objective.

Other  investments To a more limited  extent,  the Fund may, but is not required
to, utilize other  investments  and investment  techniques  that may impact fund
performance,  including,  but not limited to,  options on  securities  and stock
indices,  options on stock index futures contracts, and other derivatives (i.e.,
financial   instruments  that  derive  their  value  from  other  securities  or
commodities, or that are based on indices).

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER The length of time the Fund has held a particular security is
not generally a consideration in investment  decisions.  The investment policies
of the Fund may lead to frequent changes in the Fund's investments, particularly
in periods of volatile market movements.  A change in the securities held by the
Fund is known as "portfolio  turnover."  Portfolio  turnover  generally involves
some expense to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and
other  transaction  costs on the sale of securities  and  reinvestment  in other
securities.  Such sales may result in  realization  of taxable  capital gains. A
high portfolio  turnover will result in higher brokerage costs and taxes,  which
will affect the Fund's  performance.  Although the rate of portfolio turnover is
difficult to predict,  it is  anticipated  that under normal  circumstances  the
Fund's portfolio turnover rate could reach 400% or more.

FUND MANAGEMENT
- ------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENT MANAGER

Weiss Money  Management,  Inc.,  4176 Burns Road,  Palm Beach  Gardens,  Florida
33410,  is the  investment  adviser  to the  Fund,  and is  responsible  for the
day-to-day management of the portfolio.  The Manager has been providing advisory
services to The Weiss Fund  (formerly  known as Weiss  Treasury  Fund) since the
Trust's  commencement of operations in 1996, and to individual clients since its
inception in 1980.

Under the investment  advisory  agreement  with the Fund,  the Manager  provides
continuous advice and  recommendations  concerning the Fund's  investments.  The
Fund has agreed to  compensate  the  Manager  for its  services  by the  monthly
payment of a fee at the annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's average net assets.

SUB-ADVISER

Harvest Advisors, Inc., 11612 Bee Cave Road, Suite 110, Austin, Texas 78733, has
been retained by the Manager to provide sub-advisory  services to the Fund. Tony
Sagami,  President  of  Harvest  Advisors,  has been  actively  involved  in the
development of sophisticated  investment  software and  quantitative  investment
strategies.  Harvest  Advisors  and/or  its  principals  have been  continuously
serving  institutional and individual  investors since 1993. Under its agreement
with the Manager,  the Sub-Adviser  renders continuous  investment advice to the
Manager with respect to  investment  and  reinvestment  of the Fund's  assets in
various  securities,  based upon computer models  constructed in accordance with
the Fund's  investment  objective and  policies;  however,  the Manager,  in the
exercise of its independent judgment,  retains ultimate discretion regarding and
responsibility  for the implementation of transactions in seeking to achieve the
Fund's  objective.  The Manager pays the Sub-Adviser a fee out of the investment
advisory fees it receives from the Fund.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

 John N. Breazeale.  Mr. Breazeale,  President of Weiss Money Management,  Inc.,
 President  and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Weiss Fund,  and  portfolio
 manager of the Weiss  Treasury  Only Money Market  Fund,  a separate  series of
 Weiss Fund, is primarily  responsible  for  implementing  the Fund's  principal
 investment  strategy;   however,  he  is  assisted  by  a  team  of  investment
 professionals  from the Manager and the  Sub-Adviser.  Mr. Breazeale has been a
 portfolio  manager  with Weiss since  1994.  Mr.  Breazeale  has over 28 years'
 experience in the securities industry.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

The  services  provided  to the  Fund by  Weiss  and the  Fund's  other  service
providers are dependent on those service providers'  computer systems.  Computer
software  and  hardware  systems  in use  today  may not be able to  distinguish
between the year 2000 and the year 1900 because of the way dates are encoded and
calculated (the "Year 2000 Problem"). The failure to make this distinction could
have a negative  impact on  handling  securities  trades,  pricing  and  account
services.  Weiss is working with the Fund's other  service  providers to address
the Year 2000  Problem  with  respect  to the  computer  systems  that they use.
Specifically,  Weiss has completed changes to its internal hardware and software
in order to  complete  its Year  2000  readiness.  In  addition,  completed  Y2K
readiness  questionnaires  have been received from all of the financial  vendors
and service providers of the Manager and are currently being evaluated as to the
quality of their Y2K readiness  status.  The Fund  believes  these steps will be
sufficient  to avoid any  material  adverse  impact on the Fund.  At this  time,
however,  there can be no assurance that these steps will be sufficient to avoid
any adverse impact on the Fund.

- ------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------

The Fund intends to  distribute  to  shareholders  substantially  all of its net
investment  income annually.  Net investment income for the Fund consists of all
income accrued on the Fund's assets,  less all actual and accrued expenses.  The
Fund intends to  distribute  to  shareholders  net realized  capital gains after
utilization of capital loss carryforwards, if any, at least annually.

Distributions  by the Fund are  reinvested in  additional  shares of the Fund or
paid in cash at the  election of the  shareholder.  If no election is made,  all
distributions  will be reinvested in additional Fund shares. If an investment is
in the form of a retirement plan, all dividends and capital gains  distributions
must be reinvested into the shareholder's  account.  Distributions are generally
taxable, whether received in cash or reinvested.
Exchanges among the Weiss funds are also taxable events.

- ------------------------------------------------------
TAXES
- ------------------------------------------------------

Dividends  paid out of the  Fund's  net  investment  income  and net  short-term
capital gains will be taxable to you as ordinary  income.  Distributions  of net
long-term  capital  gains  are  taxable  to  you  as  long-term  capital  gains,
regardless of how long you have held your Fund shares. Distributions are taxable
to you in the same manner  whether  received in cash or reinvested in additional
Fund shares.

If shares of the Fund are held in a tax-deferred retirement plan account, income
and gain will not be taxable each year. Instead,  the taxable portion of amounts
held in a  retirement  plan account  generally  will be subject to tax only when
distributed from that account,  and all of those taxable amounts will be taxable
as ordinary income.

A  distribution  will be treated as paid to you on  December  31 of the  current
calendar  year if it is declared  by the Fund in  October,  November or December
with a record  date in such a month and paid by the Fund  during  January of the
following calendar year.

Each year the Fund will  notify  you of the tax  status of  dividends  and other
distributions.  Upon the sale or other disposition of your Fund shares,  you may
realize a capital gain or loss which will be long-term or short-term,  generally
depending upon how long you held your shares.

The  foregoing  discussion of federal tax  consequences  is intended for general
information  only.  You  should  consult  your  own tax  adviser  regarding  the
particular tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.

HOW TO INVEST IN THE FUND
- ------------------------------------------------------

BUYING SHARES

Purchase  orders for shares of the Fund which are received by the transfer agent
on any  business  day by the  close of  regular  trading  on the New York  Stock
Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. eastern time, receive the net asset value per share
next  determined  after  receipt of the order by the  transfer  agent,  less any
applicable  front-end sales charge,  and are executed that day.  Purchase orders
received  after the close of regular  trading on the  Exchange  receive  the net
asset value per share next determined after receipt of the order by the transfer
agent,  less  any  applicable  front-end  sales  charge,  and are  executed  the
following  business  day.  Federal  funds must be  immediately  available to the
Fund's  custodian in order for the transfer agent to execute a purchase order on
a given day.  Shares of the Fund cannot be purchased by Federal  Reserve wire on
days that either the Exchange or the Federal Reserve is closed.

A  front-end  sales  charge of 1.50% is assessed on  purchases  of Fund  shares,
subject  to a  maximum  of  $75  per  account.  Broker-dealers  other  than  the
distributor  may  assess  additional  transaction  charges  in  connection  with
purchases of Fund shares.

PURCHASES BY CHECK

Fund shares may be  purchased  by a check drawn on an account  belonging  to the
prospective   shareholder.   See  "Opening  an  Account"  for  minimum  purchase
requirements.  If you  purchase  shares  with a check that does not clear,  your
purchase  order will be  canceled  and you will be liable for any losses or fees
the Fund or the transfer  agent  incurred.  Checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank.
Purchases  by check are  executed on the day the check is received in good order
by the transfer agent.  Purchases are made in full and fractional shares. Checks
for investment should be payable to the Fund.

Please see  "Transaction  Information"  later in this  Prospectus for additional
information on buying, redeeming and exchanging Fund shares.

BY WIRE

If you are wiring funds,  please contact a Fund representative at (800) 430-9617
to open an account.

Ask your bank to send immediately available funds by wire to:

         PNC Bank N.A.
         Philadelphia, PA 19103
         ABA No. 031000053
         DDA Account # 86-1030-3574
         Further Credit to: (Shareholder Name and Account Number)

The wire should include your name,  address and taxpayer  identification  number
and the name of the Fund. An account  application  indicating  the name in which
the  purchase is to be made must be  completed  and mailed by you to the address
under  "Opening an  Account--By  Mail" above via  overnight  delivery or sent by
facsimile transmission.  Purchase money will be returned promptly in the event a
completed account  application is not received.  Please call the Fund's transfer
agent at (800) 430-9617 for additional information prior to making a purchase by
wire and consult your bank regarding bank wire or other charges.

FRONT-END SALES CHARGE

The offering  price of the Fund's shares is the net asset value next  determined
after the Fund receives a valid purchase request, plus the front-end sales load.

The amount of the front-end  sales load as a percentage of the offering price is
1.50%,  which  equals  1.52%  of the  net  amount  invested.  Assessment  of the
front-end  sales charge is limited to a maximum of $75 per  account.  Applicable
sales charge  assessments in excess of such amount will be waived.  In addition,
the sales charge is not assessed on (i) Fund shares  purchased  with  reinvested
dividends or  distributions,  (ii)  subsequent  investments  in the Fund,  (iii)
exchanges  from another Weiss fund with the same or a higher sales  charge,  and
(iv)  exchanges  from another Weiss fund whose shares were  purchased  through a
previous exchange from this Fund.

WAIVER OF FRONT-END SALES CHARGE

In addition to the examples discussed in the preceding paragraph,  the front-end
sales charge will be waived on Fund shares purchased:

 o in connection with shares purchased through the cross reinvestment privilege;

 o by persons  repurchasing  shares they  redeemed  within the last 30 days (see
 "Repurchase of Fund Shares");

o    by  directors,  officers  and  employees  and  members  of their  immediate
     families of the Manager,  the Sub-Adviser and their  affiliates and dealers
     that enter into agreements with the Fund's distributor;

o        by Trustees and officers of Weiss Fund;

o    through wrap fee and asset allocation  programs and financial  institutions
     that,  under  their  dealer  agreements  with  the  Fund's  distributor  or
     otherwise, do not receive any or receive a reduced portion of the front-end
     sales charge; and

o    by persons  purchasing  shares of the Fund through a payroll deduction plan
     or a qualified  retirement  plan which  permits  purchases of shares of the
     Fund.

Repurchase of Fund Shares

Investors may  repurchase  any amount of Fund shares at net asset value (without
the normal  front-end sales charge),  up to the limit of the value of any amount
of the shares (other than those which were purchased with  reinvested  dividends
and distributions)  that they redeemed within the past 30 days. In effect,  this
allows investors to reacquire  shares that they may have had to redeem,  without
re-paying  the  front-end  sales  charge.  An investor  may only  exercise  this
privilege once. To exercise this  privilege,  we must receive the purchase order
within 30 days of that  investor's  redemption.  In addition,  an investor  must
provide written  notification and indicate on the purchase order that shares are
being repurchased.

cleared, redemption proceeds will be sent within three business days.

Redemptions  in the  amount of  $50,000 or more  require a  Medallion  Signature
Guarantee.  Please  refer  to  "Medallion  Signature  Guarantees"  later in this
Prospectus for more information.

The redemption  requirements  for  corporations,  other  organizations,  trusts,
fiduciaries,  agents,  institutional  investors  and  retirement  plans  may  be

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
EXCHANGING FUND SHARES
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Shareholders of the Fund have an exchange  privilege with other Weiss funds. The
Fund reserves the right to reject any exchange  order.  Shareholders of the Fund
may exchange  their  outstanding  shares for shares of another Weiss fund on the
basis of  relative  net asset  value per share.  Before  exchanging  shares into
another Weiss fund,  please call (800) 430-9617 to obtain the  appropriate  fund
prospectus.

The  exchange  requirements  for  corporations,  other  organizations,   trusts,
fiduciaries,  agents,  institutional  investors  and  retirement  plans  may  be
different from those for regular  accounts.  Please call (800) 430-9617 for more
information.

This exchange  privilege is available only in states where the Fund's shares may
be legally sold.

MINIMUM INVESTMENT

A minimum  initial  investment  must be made to  establish an account into which
exchange proceeds may be invested.  If you are opening an account in a different
Weiss fund by  exchange,  the shares being  exchanged  must be at least equal in
value to the minimum  investment  requirement  for the fund into which  exchange
proceeds are being invested. If shares of a Weiss fund purchased without a sales
charge or with a lower sales charge are  exchanged  for shares of another  Weiss
fund with a sales charge or a higher sales charge, the exchange is subject to an
incremental sales charge (e.g., the difference  between the lower and the higher
applicable sales charges). If Weiss fund shares are exchanged into another Weiss
fund with the same,  lower or no sales  charge,  there is no  incremental  sales
charge for the  exchange.  Finally,  the Fund's  sales charge is not assessed on
exchanges from another Weiss fund whose shares were purchased through a previous
exchange from this Fund. A $5 fee is assessed for each exchange transaction.

BY TELEPHONE

Call (800)  430-9617 and speak with a service  representative  of The Weiss Fund
anytime between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.  Transactions by telephone  cannot be in
an  amount  in  excess  of  $50,000.  See  "Transaction   Information--Telephone
Transactions" below.

BY MAIL

Send a letter of  instruction  signed by each owner on the account (sign exactly
as each name appears on the  account) to the address  shown above in "Opening an
Account--By Mail." Please be sure to include in your instructions:

         -- the dollar amount or number of shares you wish to exchange;  -- your
         account number; -- the name of the Fund you are exchanging from; -- the
         name of the Fund you are exchanging  into;  and -- a daytime  telephone
         number at which you can be reached.

- ------------------------------------------------------
TRANSACTION INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------

NET ASSET VALUE

For purposes of processing  purchase and redemption  orders, the net asset value
per share of the Fund is  calculated  as of the close of regular  trading on the
New York Stock Exchange,  normally 4:00 p.m.  eastern time, on each business day
except those holidays which the Exchange observes.

On those days where the  Fund's  custodian  or the  Exchange  closes  early as a
result of such day being a partial  holiday or otherwise,  the Fund reserves the
right to advance on that day the time by which purchase and redemption  requests
must be received.

The  Fund's  administrator  determines  net asset  value per share by adding the
value of the Fund's investments,  cash and other assets, subtracting liabilities
attributable  to the Fund and then  dividing  the result by the number of shares
outstanding. Market prices are used to determine the value of the Fund's assets.
If market  prices are not readily  available  for a security or if a  security's
price is not considered to be market indicative,  that security may be valued by
another  method  that the Fund's  Board of  Trustees  or its  delegate  believes
accurately  reflects fair value. In those circumstances where a security's price
is not considered to be market indicative,  the security's  valuation may differ
from an available market quotation.





TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS

Shareholders  automatically  receive the Telephone  Transaction  Privilege.  The
Telephone  Transaction  Privilege  allows a shareholder to effect exchanges from
the Fund into an identically registered account in another Weiss fund as well as
other transactions as outlined in this prospectus, by calling (800) 430-9617. If
a  shareholder  does not wish to have  this  privilege,  he or she must  place a
checkmark in the  appropriate  box in the  Telephone  Transaction  Authorization
portion of the account application.

Neither  the  Fund  nor  the  transfer   agent  will  be  liable  for  following
instructions  communicated by telephone  reasonably believed to be genuine and a
loss to the shareholder may result due to an unauthorized transaction.  The Fund
and the transfer agent will employ reasonable  procedures (which may include one
or more of the following:  recording all telephone calls,  requesting  telephone
exchanges or other instructions, verifying authorization and requiring some form
of  personal  identification  prior to acting upon  instructions,  and sending a
statement  each time a  telephone  transaction  is  effected)  to  confirm  that
instructions  communicated  by telephone are genuine.  The Fund and the transfer
agent  may  be  liable  for  any  losses  due  to   unauthorized  or  fraudulent
instructions only if such reasonable procedures are not followed.

Of course,  shareholders  are not  obligated  in any way to execute a  telephone
transaction and may choose to give such instructions in writing.  During periods
of  drastic  economic  or market  changes,  it is  possible  that the  Telephone
Transaction Privilege may be difficult to implement. In this event, shareholders
should follow the other  transaction  procedures  such as those  discussed under
"Exchanging  Shares"  and/or  "Redeeming  Shares,"  including the procedures for
processing exchanges through securities dealers.

MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

Certain  types  of  redemption  requests  must  include  a  Medallion  Signature
Guarantee for each name in which the account is registered.  Medallion Signature
Guarantees  must accompany  redemption  requests for: (i) an amount in excess of
$50,000 per day;  (ii) any amount,  if the  redemption  proceeds  are to be sent
elsewhere than the address of record on the Fund's books;  or (iii) an amount of
$50,000 or less if the  address of record has been  changed on the Fund's  books
for less than 60 days, although the transfer agent reserves the right to require
Medallion  Signature  Guarantees  on  all  redemptions.  A  Medallion  Signature
Guarantee stamp may be obtained from a member of a national securities exchange,
a U.S.  commercial bank, trust company, or Federally chartered savings and loan,
or other  recognized  member of the Medallion  Signature  Guarantee  program.  A
notarization  from a notary public is NOT acceptable.  Guarantees must be signed
by an authorized person at one of these institutions.

TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

When you complete your account application,  please be sure to certify that your
Social  Security  or tax  identification  number is correct and that you are not
subject  to 31% backup  withholding  for  failing  to report  income to the IRS.
Federal tax law requires the Fund to withhold 31% of taxable  distributions from
most accounts without a certified Social Security or tax  identification  number
and certain other certified  information or upon  notification from the IRS or a
broker that  withholding  is  required.  The Fund  reserves  the right to reject
account  applications  without a certified Social Security or tax identification
number and certain other certified information or upon notification from the IRS
or a broker that  withholding  is required.  The Fund also reserves the right to
redeem  shares from  accounts  without such  information  upon 30 days'  notice.
Shareholders   may  avoid   redemption   by  providing   the  Fund  with  a  tax
identification number during the notice period.

SUBMINIMUM ACCOUNTS

The Fund  reserves the right to  involuntarily  redeem an account after 30 days'
written  notice,  if the  account's  net asset value  falls and remains  below a
$2,500 minimum due to share redemptions and not market fluctuations.

SUSPENSION OF TRADING

Purchase  and  redemption  orders may be  suspended on days when the Exchange is
closed,  closes  early  as a result  of such  day  being a  partial  holiday  or
otherwise, when trading is restricted or otherwise as permitted by the SEC.

REDEMPTIONS IN KIND

In  unusual  circumstances,  the Fund may make  payment  in  readily  marketable
portfolio securities at their market value equal to the redemption price.

SHORT-TERM TRADING

The Fund and the transfer agent may restrict  purchase  transactions  (including
exchanges)  when a pattern of frequent  purchases and redemptions in response to
short-term fluctuations in the Fund's share price appears evident.

for the Cross Reinvestment Privilege,  the value of your account in the acquired
fund  must  equal or exceed  the  acquired  fund's  minimum  initial  investment
requirement.  There are no  subsequent  investment  requirements  for amounts to
which  dividends  are  directed  nor are  service  fees  currently  charged  for
effecting these transactions.  The election to cross-reinvest dividends will not
affect the tax treatment of such dividends, which will be treated as received by
you and then used to purchase  shares of the  acquired  fund.  Please call (800)
430-9617 for additional information.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

The Fund offers Individual  Retirement Account ("IRA") and Roth IRA plans, which
generally  allow  a  maximum  annual  contribution  of  $2,000  per  person  for

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUND GOAL, PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES, PERFORMANCE AND PRINCIPAL RISK
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GOAL The Weiss  Millennium  Opportunity  Fund seeks  capital  appreciation.The
Fund's investment objective may be changed without shareholder approval.

PRINCIPAL   STRATEGIES   In  seeking  its   investment   objective   of  capital
appreciation,   the  Fund  will  invest  primarily  in  a  portfolio  of  equity
securities,  such as  common  stocks,  and will  engage  in short  sales of such
securities.  The Fund's investment manager, Weiss Money Management,  Inc. (which
we refer to as "Weiss" or the "Manager"), will use both fundamental analysis and
proprietary  computer models to identify those securities to be purchased,  sold
or sold short.

PRINCIPAL  RISKS There are market and  investment  risks with any security.  The
value of an investment in the Fund will  fluctuate  over time and it is possible
to lose money invested in the Fund.

          o Stock  Market The Fund's  return and net asset  value will go up and
          down,  and it is  possible to lose money  invested in the Fund.  Stock
          market  movements will affect the Fund's share price on a daily basis.
          The  Fund's  portfolio  securities  could  lose value as a result of a
          decline in the overall stock market.  When the Fund purchases a stock,
          it is said to have a "long"  position in that  stock.  Selling a stock
          "short"  means that the Fund has sold a stock it does not own with the
          expectation  that it will be able to buy the  stock  later  at a lower
          price in order to close  the  transaction  and  realize  a gain on the
          difference between the respective sale and purchase prices. The Fund's
          investment results will suffer if there is a stock market advance when
          the Fund has significant  "short" equity  positions,  or if there is a
          stock market  decline when the Fund has a  significant  "long"  equity
          position.

          o Equity  Investing  An  investment  in the common  stock of a company
          represents  a  proportionate   ownership  interest  in  that  company.
          Therefore,  the Fund  participates  in the  success  or failure of any
          company in which it holds  stock.  In  addition,  the market  value of
          common stocks can fluctuate significantly.

          o Long-Short  Investing If the Fund's  Manager takes long positions in
          stocks  that  decline  in value  or short  positions  in  stocks  that
          increase  in value,  then the losses of the Fund may  exceed  those of
          other stock mutual funds that hold long positions only. Since the Fund
          is not restricted in the amount of its assets that may be allocated to
          short sales,  significant  short equity  positions  could increase the
          Fund's risk profile. Investment in shares of the Fund is more volatile
          and risky than many other mutual funds or other forms of investment.

          o Industry  Concentration  At times,  25% or more of the Fund's assets
          could be invested in the stock of companies  within the same industry.
          As a result,  the Fund may be subject to  greater  market  fluctuation
          than a mutual fund which owns securities  representing a broader range
          of investment alternatives.

          o Portfolio  Strategy  The  Manager's  skill in  choosing  appropriate
          investments  for the Fund  will  determine  in large  part the  Fund's
          ability to achieve its investment objective.  The risk exists that the
          Manager may incorrectly  allocate the Fund's investments  between long
          and short equity positions.

          o Inflation There is a possibility that the rising prices of goods and
          services may have the effect of offsetting the Fund's real return.

EXAMPLE:
This  example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  The example  assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods.  Although your actual costs may be higher or
lower than those in this example, based on these assumptions your cost would be:



<PAGE>






1 YEAR                                                                 $342
3 YEARS                                                                $615

The example also assumes that your  investment  has a 5% return each year,  that
the  Fund's  operating   expenses  remain  the  same,  and  that  dividends  and
distributions are reinvested.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS AND RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Manager uses a variety of investments  and investment  techniques in seeking
to achieve  the Fund's  investment  objective.  The  Fund's  primary  investment
strategies  are  described  below;  however,  the Fund may also  invest in other
securities,  use other strategies or engage in other investment practices. These
investments and strategies,  as well as those described in this prospectus,  are
described in detail in the  Statement of  Additional  Information.  Although the
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective,  there is no assurance it
will be successful.

The Fund employs a long-short approach.  With this approach,  the Fund will seek
to purchase stocks of companies that, in the Manager's opinion,  have (1) strong
or improving  fundamentals,  (2) lower  vulnerability to adverse factors such as
Year 2000 ("Y2K") related  problems or deflation,  and/or (3) operate in sectors
of the market that show accelerating  momentum and strong relative strength.  At
the same  time,  the Fund will seek to sell short  stocks of  issuers  which the
Manager  believes  have  (1) weak or  deteriorating  fundamentals,  (2)  greater
vulnerability  to adverse  factors,  and/or (3) operate in sectors of the market
that show decelerating momentum and weak relative strength. Although the Manager
expects that the Fund's  "long" equity  positions  will  generally  outweigh its
"short" equity positions, the Fund is not restricted in the amount of its assets
that  it  may  commit  to  short  sales.  At  times  the  Fund's  assets  may be
concentrated in the securities of issuers within the same industry.

The following describes the Manager's investment approach in greater detail.

Analysis:

o    Fundamental analysis: Companies are evaluated for their fundamental ability
     to withstand, or even take advantage of, adverse economic conditions,  such
     as the Y2K computer problem (considered paramount factors in the years 1999
     and 2000) as well as global deflation or a domestic recession. Factors such
     as cash  flow,  asset  values,  competitive  position,  current  price  and
     industry  outlook may also be  considered.  A Strongest  List and a Weakest
     List are produced based on this analysis.

o    Sector  analysis:  A proprietary  computer model  evaluates  various market
     sectors to aid the  Manager  in  selecting  for  purchase  securities  from
     sectors of the economy that are showing  strength or,  conversely,  selling
     securities short in sectors that are showing weakness.

o    Market trend analysis:  Based on a proprietary model, a bullish (indicating
     a rising  market)  or  bearish  (indicating  a  falling  market)  signal is
     generated.

Security Selection:

          o A Buy Candidates List is created containing stocks in sectors ranked
          high.

          o A  Short-Sale  Candidates  List is  created  with  stocks in sectors
          ranked low. Portfolio Structure:

          The Fund's  assets  will  normally  be  invested  as set forth  below.
          Depending on the  Manager's  perception  of market  conditions,  these
          percentages may differ substantially at various times.

          o Approximately  30% of the Fund's portfolio will be allocated to core
          positions  (positions  the Manager  intends to hold for a while).  The
          Manager  intends to split these  between (a) long  positions in stocks
          selected  from the  Strongest  List and (b) short  positions in stocks
          selected from the Weakest List.

          o Approximately  50% of the Fund's  portfolio will consist of actively
          traded equity positions.  In a bullish market trend, trading positions
          will be primarily  allocated to long positions in stocks selected from
          the Buy Candidates  List. In a bearish  market trend,  this portion of
          the  portfolio  will consist  primarily  of short equity  positions in
          stocks selected from the Short-Sale Candidates List.

          o Approximately  20% of the Fund's  portfolio will be invested in debt
          securities  issued or guaranteed by the United States  government  and
          its agencies or instrumentalities, debt securities of investment grade
          corporate  issuers and zero coupon bonds.  For temporary  defensive or
          emergency  purposes,  the Fund's exposure to these types of securities
          may be increased significantly.

EQUITY  SECURITIES Since it purchases common stocks (referred to above as taking
a "long"  equity  position),  the Fund is subject to the risk that stock  prices
will fall over  short or  extended  periods  of time.  Historically,  the equity
markets have moved in cycles,  and the value of the Fund's equity securities may
fluctuate  drastically  from day to day.  Individual  companies  may report poor
results  or be  negatively  affected  by  industry  and/or  economic  trends and
developments.  The prices of  securities  issued by such  companies may suffer a
decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility.

SHORT  SALES When the  Manager  anticipates  that the price of a  security  will
decline,  it may sell the  security  short and borrow the same  security  from a
broker or other  institution to complete the sale (referred to above as taking a
"short" equity  position).  The Fund may make a profit or incur a loss depending
upon whether the market price of the security decreases or increases between the
date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund must  replace the borrowed
security. An increase in the value of a security sold short by the Fund over the
price at which it was sold  short will  result in a loss to the Fund,  and there
can be no  assurance  that the Fund will be able to close out the  position at a
particular time or at an acceptable price.

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES  Although equity securities are the primary focus of the
Fund, the Manager  intends to purchase fixed income  securities in attempting to
achieve the Fund's  objective.  Under normal  circumstances  it is expected that
approximately  20% of the Fund's  portfolio will be invested in such securities.
The market  values of fixed  income  investments  change in response to interest
rate changes and other factors.  During periods of falling  interest rates,  the
values of outstanding fixed income  securities  generally rise.  Further,  while
securities with longer  maturities tend to produce higher yields,  the prices of
longer maturity  securities are also subject to greater market fluctuations as a
result of changes in interest  rates.  In addition to these  fundamental  risks,
different  types of fixed  income  securities  may be subject  to the  following
additional risks:

          o Credit Quality Risk - The possibility  that an issuer will be unable
          to make timely payments of either principal or interest.

          o Prepayment or Call Risk - During periods of falling  interest rates,
          certain debt  obligations  with high interest rates may be prepaid (or
          "called") by the issuer prior to maturity.  As a result,  the Fund may
          be  required to invest the  proceeds  from such  investments  at lower
          interest rates.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS During unusual economic or market conditions, or
for temporary defensive or emergency purposes, the Fund may invest up to 100% of
its assets in cash or cash  equivalents,  shares of money market  mutual  funds,
commercial paper, zero coupon bonds, repurchase agreements, and other securities
the Manager  believes to be consistent with the Fund's best interests.  During a
period in which the Fund takes a temporary defensive position,  the Fund may not
achieve its investment objective.

Other  investments To a more limited  extent,  the Fund may, but is not required
to, utilize other  investments  and investment  techniques  that may impact fund
performance,  including,  but not limited to,  options on  securities  and stock
indices,  options on stock index futures contracts, and other derivatives (i.e.,
financial   instruments  that  derive  their  value  from  other  securities  or
commodities, or that are based on indices).

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER The length of time the Fund has held a particular security is
not generally a consideration in investment  decisions.  The investment policies
of the Fund may lead to frequent changes in the Fund's investments, particularly
in periods of volatile market movements.  A change in the securities held by the
Fund is known as "portfolio  turnover."  Portfolio  turnover  generally involves
some expense to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and
other  transaction  costs on the sale of securities  and  reinvestment  in other
securities.  Such sales may result in  realization  of taxable  capital gains. A
high portfolio  turnover will result in higher brokerage costs and taxes,  which
will affect the Fund's  performance.  Although the rate of portfolio turnover is
difficult to predict,  it is  anticipated  that under normal  circumstances  the
Fund's portfolio turnover rate could reach 400% or more.

FUND MANAGEMENT
- ------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENT MANAGER

Weiss Money  Management,  Inc.,  4176 Burns Road,  Palm Beach  Gardens,  Florida
33410,  is the  investment  adviser  to the  Fund,  and is  responsible  for the
day-to-day  management  of  the  portfolio.   The  Manager  has  been  providing
investment advisory services to The Weiss Fund (formerly known as Weiss Treasury
Fund) since the Trust's  commencement  of  operations  in 1996 and to individual
clients since its inception in 1980.

Under the investment  advisory  agreement  with the Fund,  the Manager  provides
continuous advice and  recommendations  concerning the Fund's  investments.  The
Fund has agreed to  compensate  the  Manager  for its  services  by the  monthly
payment of a fee at the annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's average net assets.

SUB-ADVISER

Harvest Advisors, Inc., 11612 Bee Cave Road, Suite 110, Austin, Texas 78733, has
been retained by the Manager to provide sub-advisory  services to the Fund. Tony
Sagami,  President  of  Harvest  Advisors,  has been  actively  involved  in the
development of sophisticated  investment  software and  quantitative  investment
strategies.  Harvest  Advisors  and/or  its  principals  have been  continuously
serving  institutional and individual  investors since 1993. Under its agreement
with the Manager,  the Sub-Adviser  renders continuous  investment advice to the
Manager with respect to  investment  and  reinvestment  of the Fund's  assets in
various  securities,  based upon computer models  constructed in accordance with
the Fund's  investment  objective and  policies;  however,  the Manager,  in the
exercise of its independent judgment,  retains ultimate discretion regarding and
responsibility  for the implementation of transactions in seeking to achieve the
Fund's  objective.  The Manager pays the Sub-Adviser a fee out of the investment
advisory fees it receives from the Fund.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

 John N. Breazeale.  Mr. Breazeale,  President of Weiss Money Management,  Inc.,
 President  and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Weiss Fund,  and  portfolio
 manager of the Weiss  Treasury  Only Money Market  Fund,  a separate  series of
 Weiss Fund, is primarily  responsible  for  implementing  the Fund's  principal
 investment  strategy;   however,  he  is  assisted  by  a  team  of  investment
 professionals  from the Manager and the  Sub-Adviser.  Mr. Breazeale has been a
 portfolio  manager  with Weiss since  1994.  Mr.  Breazeale  has over 28 years'
 experience in the securities industry.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

The  services  provided  to the  Fund by  Weiss  and the  Fund's  other  service
providers are dependent on those service providers'  computer systems.  Computer
software  and  hardware  systems  in use  today  may not be able to  distinguish
between the year 2000 and the year 1900 because of the way dates are encoded and
calculated (the "Year 2000 Problem"). The failure to make this distinction could
have a negative  impact on  handling  securities  trades,  pricing  and  account
services.  Weiss is working with the Fund's other  service  providers to address
the Year 2000  Problem  with  respect  to the  computer  systems  that they use.
Specifically,  Weiss has completed changes to its internal hardware and software
in order to  complete  its Year  2000  readiness.  In  addition,  completed  Y2K
readiness  questionnaires  have been received from all of the financial  vendors
and service providers of the Manager and are currently being evaluated as to the
quality of their Y2K readiness  status.  The Fund  believes  these steps will be
sufficient  to avoid any  material  adverse  impact on the Fund.  At this  time,
however,  there can be no assurance that these steps will be sufficient to avoid
any adverse impact on the Fund.

- ------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------

The Fund intends to  distribute  to  shareholders  substantially  all of its net
investment  income annually.  Net investment income for the Fund consists of all
income accrued on the Fund's assets,  less all actual and accrued expenses.  The
Fund intends to  distribute  to  shareholders  net realized  capital gains after
utilization of capital loss carryforwards, if any, at least annually.

Distributions  by the Fund are  reinvested in  additional  shares of the Fund or
paid in cash at the  election of the  shareholder.  If no election is made,  all
distributions  will be reinvested in additional Fund shares. If an investment is
in the form of a retirement plan, all dividends and capital gains  distributions
must be reinvested into the shareholder's  account.  Distributions are generally
taxable, whether received in cash or reinvested.
Exchanges among the Weiss funds are also taxable events.

- ------------------------------------------------------
TAXES
- ------------------------------------------------------

Dividends  paid out of the  Fund's  net  investment  income  and net  short-term
capital gains will be taxable to you as ordinary  income.  Distributions  of net
long-term  capital  gains  are  taxable  to  you  as  long-term  capital  gains,
regardless of how long you have held your Fund shares. Distributions are taxable
to you in the same manner  whether  received in cash or reinvested in additional
Fund shares.

If shares of the Fund are held in a tax-deferred retirement plan account, income
and gain will not be taxable each year. Instead,  the taxable portion of amounts
held in a  retirement  plan account  generally  will be subject to tax only when
distributed from that account,  and all of those taxable amounts will be taxable
as ordinary income.

A  distribution  will be treated as paid to you on  December  31 of the  current
calendar  year if it is declared  by the Fund in  October,  November or December
with a record  date in such a month and paid by the Fund  during  January of the
following calendar year.

Each year the Fund will  notify  you of the tax  status of  dividends  and other
distributions.

Upon the sale or other  disposition  of your  Fund  shares,  you may  realize  a
capital gain or loss which will be long-term or short-term,  generally depending
upon how long you held your shares.

The  foregoing  discussion of federal tax  consequences  is intended for general
information  only.  You  should  consult  your  own tax  adviser  regarding  the
particular tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.

HOW TO INVEST IN THE FUND
- ------------------------------------------------------

BUYING SHARES

You may  buy  shares  of the  Fund  through  accounts  with  brokers  and  other
institutions  that are  authorized  to place  trades  in Fund  shares  for their
customers.  If you invest  through an authorized  institution,  you will have to
follow its procedures.  Your  institution may charge a fee for its services,  in
addition  to the fees  charged  by the  Fund.  You will also  generally  have to
address your correspondence or questions regarding the Fund to your institution.

The  minimum  initial  investment  in the Fund is  $5,000.  The  minimum  amount
required to make subsequent investments is $100.

Purchase  orders for shares of the Fund which are received by the transfer agent
on any  business  day by the  close of  regular  trading  on the New York  Stock
Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. eastern time, receive the net asset value per share
next  determined  after  receipt  of the  order by the  transfer  agent  and are
executed that day.  Purchase  orders received after the close of regular trading
on the  Exchange  receive  the net asset value per share next  determined  after
receipt  of the order by the  transfer  agent  and are  executed  the  following
business  day.  Federal  funds  must  be  immediately  available  to the  Fund's
custodian in order for the transfer agent to execute a purchase order on a given
day. Shares of the Fund cannot be purchased by Federal Reserve wire on days that
either the Exchange or the Federal Reserve is closed.

REDEEMING FUND SHARES
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

If you own your shares  through an account  with a broker or other  institution,
contact that broker or institution to sell your shares.

- ------------------------------------------------------

TRANSACTION INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------

NET ASSET VALUE

For purposes of processing  purchase and redemption  orders, the net asset value
per share of the Fund is  calculated  as of the close of regular  trading on the
New York Stock Exchange,  normally 4:00 p.m.  eastern time, on each business day
except those holidays which the Exchange observes.

On those days where the  Fund's  custodian  or the  Exchange  closes  early as a
result of such day being a partial  holiday or otherwise,  the Fund reserves the
right to advance on that day the time by which purchase and redemption  requests
must be received.

The  Fund's  administrator  determines  net asset  value per share by adding the
value of the Fund's investments,  cash and other assets, subtracting liabilities
attributable  to the Fund and then  dividing  the result by the number of shares
outstanding. Market prices are used to determine the value of the Fund's assets.
If market  prices are not readily  available  for a security or if a  security's
price is not considered to be market indicative,  that security may be valued by
another  method  that the Fund's  Board of  Trustees  or its  delegate  believes
accurately  reflects fair value. In those circumstances where a security's price
is not considered to be market indicative,  the security's  valuation may differ
from an available market quotation.

SUBMINIMUM ACCOUNTS

The Fund  reserves the right to  involuntarily  redeem an account after 30 days'
written  notice,  if the  account's  net asset value  falls and remains  below a
$2,500 minimum due to share redemptions and not market fluctuations.

SUSPENSION OF TRADING

Purchase  and  redemption  orders may be  suspended on days when the Exchange is
closed,  closes  early  as a result  of such  day  being a  partial  holiday  or
otherwise, when trading is restricted or otherwise as permitted by the SEC.

REDEMPTIONS IN KIND

In  unusual  circumstances,  the Fund may make  payment  in  readily  marketable
portfolio securities at their market value equal to the redemption price.

SHORT-TERM TRADING

The Fund and the transfer agent may restrict  purchase  transactions  (including
exchanges)  when a pattern of frequent  purchases and redemptions in response to
short-term fluctuations in the Fund's share price appears evident.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, RESTRICTIONS AND TECHNIQUES

Investment Objective

The Fund is a  diversified  series of The Weiss Fund,  an  open-end,  management
investment  company.  The  investment  objective  of the Fund is to seek capital
appreciation. The investment objective of the Fund is not fundamental and may be
changed by the Trustees without shareholder approval. There is no assurance that
the Fund will achieve its objective.

Investments

The Fund's  investment  policies and techniques are summarized in the Prospectus
and set forth in greater  detail  below.  Unless  otherwise  stated,  the Fund's
policies are not fundamental.

The Fund pursues its  objective by investing  primarily in a portfolio of equity
securities,  such  as  common  stocks,  and  engaging  in  short  sales  of such
securities.  The Fund employs a "long-short"  approach.  With this approach, the
Fund will seek to purchase stocks of companies  that, in the Manager's  opinion,
have (1) strong or improving  fundamentals,  (2) lower  vulnerability to adverse
factors  such as Year 2000 ("Y2K")  related  problems or  deflation,  and/or (3)
operate  in sectors of the market  that show  accelerating  momentum  and strong
relative strength.  At the same time, the Fund will seek to sell short stocks of
issuers which the Manager believes have (1) weak or deteriorating  fundamentals,
(2) greater  vulnerability to adverse factors,  and/or (3) operate in sectors of
the market that show decelerating momentum and weak relative strength.  Although
the Manager  expects that the Fund's  "long"  equity  positions  will  generally
outweigh its "short" equity positions,  the Fund is not restricted in the amount
of its assets that it may commit to short sales.  At times the Fund's assets may
be concentrated in the securities of issuers within the same industry.

Investments  may be made in  well-known,  established  companies,  as well as in
newer and relatively unseasoned  companies.  Individual security selection aided
by computer  technology is an important part of the Fund's investment  approach.
The Fund's  sub-advisor,  Harvest  Advisors,  Inc.  ("Harvest  Advisors"  or the
"Sub-Adviser"),  utilizes a risk  management  system  based upon a  quantitative
model  that  is a  combination  of  momentum,  price  behavior,  and  volatility
indicators.  The  objective of this model is to identify  those periods when the
stock market is vulnerable. This model is used to adjust the level of the Fund's
equity  exposure,  ranging from fully  invested,  neutral,  or short.  Potential
investments of the Fund are also evaluated using fundamental  analysis including
criteria such as earnings  outlook,  cash flow, asset values,  sustainability of
product  cycles,  expansion  opportunities,  management  capabilities,  industry
outlook,  competitive position, and current price relative to long-term value of
the  company.  The Fund  also  employs a  relative  strength  ranking  system to
identify the strongest and weakest sectors of the stock market.

Under  normal  circumstances,  it is  expected  that at least 65% of the  Fund's
portfolio  will be invested  in equity  securities,  comprised  of both long and
short positions.  The Manager anticipates that a portion of the Fund's portfolio
will be allocated,  in both long and short positions,  to stocks selected by the
Manager based primarily upon fundamental analysis,  with a buy and hold strategy
in mind. In addition,  another part of the Fund's portfolio will be comprised of
both long and short  positions in stocks selected by the Manager based upon such
criteria as fundamental momentum and relative value,  invested with a short-term
investment  strategy driven  primarily by sector  analysis.  The Manager expects
that approximately 20% of the Fund's portfolio will, under normal conditions, be
invested in fixed-income securities, cash and cash equivalents. Depending on the
Manager's  perception  of  market  conditions,   these  percentages  may  differ
substantially at various times.

The following describes the Manager's investment approach in greater detail.

Analysis:

o........Fundamental  analysis:  Companies are  evaluated for their  fundamental
     ability  to  withstand,   or  even  take  advantage  of,  adverse  economic
     conditions,  such as the Y2K computer problem (considered paramount factors
     in the  years  1999 and  2000) as well as global  deflation  or a  domestic
     recession.  Factors such as cash flow, asset values,  competitive position,
     current price and industry outlook may also be considered. A Strongest List
     and a Weakest List are produced based on this analysis.

o........Sector  analysis: A proprietary computer model evaluates various market
     sectors to aid the  Manager  in  selecting  for  purchase  securities  from
     sectors of the economy that are showing  strength or,  conversely,  selling
     stocks short in sectors that are showing weakness.
 .........
o........Market  trend  analysis:  Based  on  a  proprietary  model,  a  bullish
     (indicating  a rising  market) or  bearish  (indicating  a falling  market)
     signal is generated.


Security Selection:

o........A Buy Candidates  List is created  containing  stocks in sectors ranked
high.

o........A  Short-Sale  Candidates List is created with stocks in sectors ranked
low.

Portfolio Structure:

The Fund's assets will normally be invested as set forth below. Depending on the
Manager's  perception  of  market  conditions,   these  percentages  may  differ
substantially at various times.

o    Approximately  30% of the Fund's  portfolio be allocated to core  positions
     (positions the Manager intends to hold for a while). The Manager intends to
     split  these  between  (a)  long  positions  in  stocks  selected  from the
     Strongest List and (b) short  positions in stocks selected from the Weakest
     List.

o    Approximately 50% of the Fund's portfolio will normally consist of actively
     traded equity  positions.  In a bullish market,  trading  positions will be
     primarily  allocated  to long  positions  in stocks  selected  from the Buy
     Candidates  List. In a bearish  market,  this portion of the portfolio will
     consist  primarily of short equity  positions in stocks  selected  from the
     Short-Sale Candidates List.


o    Approximately  20% of  the  Fund's  portfolio  will  be  invested  in  debt
     securities  of  corporate  issuers,   including   convertible   securities,
     commercial  paper and zero  coupon  bonds,  and debt  securities  issued or
     guaranteed   by  the  United   States   government   and  its  agencies  or
     instrumentalities.  In a  neutral  market  or for  temporary  defensive  or
     emergency purposes, the Fund's exposure to these types of securities may be
     increased significantly.

The Fund  may,  but is not  required  to,  effect  transactions  in  options  on
securities  and stock indices and options on stock index  futures  contracts for
hedging purposes.

As a result of the investment techniques used by the Fund, the Fund expects that
a  significant  portion  (up to  100%)  of its  assets  will be  held in  liquid
securities in a segregated account as "cover" for the investment  techniques the
Fund  employs.  These  assets  may  not  be  sold  while  the  position  in  the
corresponding  instrument or  transaction  (e.g.,  option or short sale) is open
unless they are replaced by similar  assets.  As a result,  the  commitment of a
large portion of the Fund's assets to "cover" investment techniques could impede
portfolio  management or the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests or other
current obligations.

Descriptions  in this SAI of a  particular  investment  practice or technique in
which the Fund may engage  (such as short  selling or  hedging)  or a  financial
instrument  which the Fund may purchase  (such as options) are meant to describe
the spectrum of investments that the Manager,  in its discretion,  might, but is
not required to, use in managing the Fund's portfolio  assets.  The Manager may,
in its discretion, at any time employ such practice, technique or instrument for
one or more  funds  but not for all  funds  advised  by it.  Furthermore,  it is
possible that certain types of financial  instruments  or investment  techniques
described  herein may not be available,  permissible,  economically  feasible or
effective  for  their  intended  purposes  in all  markets.  Certain  practices,
techniques,  or instruments may not be principal  activities of the Fund but, to
the  extent  employed,  could  from time to time have a  material  impact on the
Fund's performance.

Concentration

The Fund may  "concentrate," as that term used in the Investment  Company Act of
1940,  as  amended  (the "1940  Act"),  its  assets in  securities  related to a
particular  industry,  which  means  that at least  25% of its  assets  would be
invested in the securities of issuers within the same industry. As a result, the
Fund  may be  subject  to  greater  market  fluctuation  than a fund  which  has
securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives.

Common Stocks

Common stock can be issued by  companies to raise cash;  all common stock shares
represent a  proportionate  ownership  interest in a company.  As a result,  the
value of common stock rises and falls with a company's  success or failure.  The
market value of common stock can fluctuate significantly, with smaller companies
being  particularly  susceptible to price swings.  Transaction  costs in smaller
company stocks may also be higher than those of larger companies.

Short Sales

The Fund may seek to realize additional gains or hedge investments through short
sales.  Short sales are  transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does
not own in  anticipation  of a decline in the market value of that security.  To
complete such a transaction,  the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery
to the buyer.  The Fund then is obligated  to replace the  security  borrowed by
purchasing  it at the market price at or prior to the time of  replacement.  The
price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the  security was
sold by the Fund. Until the security is replaced,  the Fund is required to repay
the lender any  dividends or interest that accrue during the period of the loan.
To borrow the  security,  the Fund also may be required to pay a premium,  which
would increase the cost of the security sold. The net proceeds of the short sale
will be retained by the broker (or by the Fund's  custodian in a special custody
account),  to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements,  until the short
position is closed out. The Fund also will incur  transaction costs in effecting
short sales.

The Fund will  incur a loss as a result  of the  short  sale if the price of the
security  increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the
Fund  replaces  the  borrowed  security.  The Fund  will  realize  a gain if the
security  declines in price between those dates.  The amount of any gain will be
decreased,  and the amount of any loss increased,  by the amount of the premium,
dividends,  interest or expenses  the Fund may be required to pay in  connection
with a short sale. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to close
out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.

Convertible Securities

The convertible securities in which the Fund may invest include corporate bonds,
notes, debentures, preferred stock and other securities that may be converted or
exchanged at a stated or determinable  exchange ratio into underlying  shares of
common stock.  Investments in convertible  securities can provide income through
interest  and  dividend   payments  as  well  as  an  opportunity   for  capital
appreciation  by  virtue  of their  conversion  or  exchange  features.  Because
convertible  securities  can be converted into equity  securities,  their values
will  normally  vary in some  proportion  with  those of the  underlying  equity
securities.  Convertible  securities  usually  provide a higher  yield  than the
underlying equity,  however, so that the price decline of a convertible security
may sometimes be less substantial  than that of the underlying  equity security.
The exchange ratio for any particular  convertible security may be adjusted from
time  to  time  due to  stock  splits,  dividends,  spin-offs,  other  corporate
distributions  or scheduled  changes in the  exchange  ratio.  Convertible  debt
securities and  convertible  preferred  stocks,  until  converted,  have general
characteristics similar to both debt and equity securities. Although to a lesser
extent than with debt  securities  generally,  the market  value of  convertible
securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to
increase as interest  rates decline.  In addition,  because of the conversion or
exchange feature,  the market value of convertible  securities typically changes
as the market value of the underlying common stock changes, and, therefore, also
tends to follow movements in the general market for equity securities.  When the
market  price  of  the  underlying  common  stock  increases,  the  price  of  a
convertible  security  tends  to  rise  as a  reflection  of  the  value  of the
underlying  common  stock,  although  typically  not as much as the price of the
underlying  common  stock.  While no  securities  investments  are without risk,
investments  in  convertible   securities   generally   entail  less  risk  than
investments in common stock of the same issuer.

As debt  securities,  convertible  securities are investments that provide for a
stream of income. Like all debt securities,  there can be no assurance of income
or principal  payments  because the issuers of the  convertible  securities  may
default on their  obligations (see following  section).  Convertible  securities
generally offer lower yields than non-convertible  securities of similar quality
because of their conversion or exchange features.

Convertible   securities   generally  are  subordinated  to  other  similar  but
non-convertible  securities of the same issuer,  although  convertible bonds, as
corporate  debt  obligations,  are  senior  in right of  payment  to all  equity
securities,  and  convertible  preferred stock is senior to common stock, of the
same  issuer.  However,   convertible  bonds  and  convertible  preferred  stock
typically  have lower  coupon  rates than  similar  non-convertible  securities.
Convertible  securities  may be  issued  as fixed  income  obligations  that pay
current income.

Debt Securities

In General. Investment in debt securities involves both interest rate and credit
risk.  Generally,  the value of debt instruments  rises and falls inversely with
fluctuations  in interest  rates.  As interest rates decline,  the value of debt
securities generally increases.  Conversely, rising interest rates tend to cause
the value of debt securities to decrease. Bonds with longer maturities generally
are more volatile than bonds with shorter  maturities.  The market value of debt
securities  also varies  according  to the relative  financial  condition of the
issuer. In general, lower-quality bonds offer higher yields due to the increased
risk that the  issuer  will be unable to meet its  obligations  on  interest  or
principal payments at the time called for by the debt instrument.

Investment-Grade  Debt  Securities.  The Fund may invest in debt securities that
are  given  an  investment-grade  rating  by  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.
("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's  Ratings Group ("S&P"),  and may also invest in
unrated debt  securities  that are considered by the Manager to be of comparable
quality.  Bonds rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by S&P are judged to be of the best
quality  (i.e.,  capacity  to pay  interest  and repay  principal  is  extremely
strong).  Bonds rated Aa/AA are considered to be of high quality (i.e., capacity
to pay interest and repay  principal is very strong and differs from the highest
rated  issues only to a small  degree).  Bonds rated A are viewed as having many
favorable  investment  attributes,  but  elements  may be present that suggest a
susceptibility  to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances  and economic
conditions than debt in higher rated categories. Bonds rated Baa/BBB (considered
by Moody's to be "medium grade"  obligations) are considered to have an adequate
capacity to pay interest and repay principal,  but certain  protective  elements
may be lacking (i.e., such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and
have some  speculative  characteristics).  See Appendix A for a  description  of
these ratings.

Commercial Paper.  Commercial paper represents  short-term  unsecured promissory
notes issued in bearer form by bank holding companies,  corporations and finance
companies.  The Fund may invest in  commercial  paper  that is rated  Prime-1 by
Moody's or A-1 by S&P or, if not rated by Moody's or S&P, is issued by companies
having an outstanding debt issue rated Aaa or Aa by Moody's or AAA or AA by S&P.

 U.S. Treasury Securities. The Fund may invest in direct obligations of the U.S.
 Treasury (e.g.,  Treasury bills,  notes,  and bonds).  When such securities are
 held to  maturity,  the payment of principal  and  interest is  unconditionally
 guaranteed  by the U.S.  Government,  and  therefore  they  are of the  highest
 possible credit quality. U.S. Treasury securities that are not held to maturity
 are subject to  variations in market value caused by  fluctuations  in interest
 rates.

Zero  Coupon  Securities.  The Fund may invest in zero coupon  securities.  Zero
coupon bonds are issued and traded at a discount from their face value.  They do
not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity.

Current  federal  income tax law requires  holders of zero coupon  securities to
report the  portion of any  original  issue  discount  on such  securities  that
accrues during a given year as interest income,  even though the holders receive
no cash  payments  of  interest  during  the  year.  In  order to  qualify  as a
"regulated  investment  company"  under the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended (the "Code"), and the regulations  thereunder,  the Fund must distribute
its investment  company  taxable  income,  including any original issue discount
accrued on zero coupon bonds. Because the Fund will not receive cash payments on
a current  basis in respect of any  accrued  original  issue  discount  on these
bonds,  in some years the Fund may have to  distribute  cash obtained from other
sources in order to satisfy the  distribution  requirements  under the Code. The
Fund might obtain such cash from selling other  portfolio  holdings  which might
cause the Fund to incur capital gains or losses on the sale. Additionally, these
actions  are  likely  to  reduce  the  assets to which  Fund  expenses  could be
allocated and to reduce the rate of return for the Fund. In some  circumstances,
such sales might be necessary in order to satisfy cash distribution requirements
even though  investment  considerations  might otherwise make it undesirable for
the Fund to sell the securities at the time.

Generally,  the market prices of zero coupon  securities  are more volatile than
the prices of  securities  that pay  interest  periodically  and in cash and are
likely to respond to changes in  interest  rates to a greater  degree than other
types of debt securities having similar maturities and credit quality.

When-Issued  Securities.  When the Fund  purchases new issues of securities on a
when-issued  basis, the Fund's custodian will establish a segregated account for
the Fund consisting of cash, U.S.  Treasury  securities or other high-grade debt
securities equal to the amount of the commitment.  If the value of securities in
the account should decline,  additional cash or securities will be placed in the
account so that the market  value of the  account  will equal the amount of such
commitments by the Fund on a daily basis.

Securities  purchased  on a  when-issued  basis and the  securities  held in the
Fund's  portfolio  are  subject to changes in market  value  based upon  various
factors including changes in the level of market interest rates. Generally,  the
value of such securities  will fluctuate  inversely to changes in interest rates
(i.e.,  they will  appreciate  in value when market  interest  rates decline and
decrease in value when market  interest  rates rise).  For this reason,  placing
securities  rather than cash in the  segregated  account  may have a  leveraging
effect on the Fund's net  assets.  In other  words,  to the extent that the Fund
remains  substantially fully invested in securities at the same time that it has
committed to purchase  securities on a when-issued  basis, there will be greater
fluctuations  in its net assets  than if it had set aside  cash to  satisfy  its
purchase commitment. Upon the settlement date of the when-issued securities, the
Fund  ordinarily  will meet its  obligation  to  purchase  the  securities  from
available cash flow, use of the cash (or liquidation of securities)  held in the
segregated  account or sale of other securities.  Although it would not normally
expect  to do so,  the Fund  also may meet its  obligation  from the sale of the
when-issued securities themselves (which may have a current market value greater
or less than the Fund's payment obligation). The sale of securities to meet such
obligations  carries with it a greater  potential for the realization of capital
gains.

Warrants

The Fund may invest up to 5% of its total  assets in  warrants.  The holder of a
warrant has the right, until the warrant expires,  to purchase a given number of
shares of a particular issuer at a specified price. Such investments can provide
a greater  potential  for profit or loss than an  equivalent  investment  in the
underlying  security.  However,  prices of warrants do not necessarily move in a
tandem  with  the  prices  of the  underlying  securities  and  are,  therefore,
considered  speculative  investments.  Warrants pay no  dividends  and confer no
rights other than a purchase  option.  Thus,  if a warrant held by the Fund were
not  exercised  by the date of its  expiration,  the Fund  would lose the entire
purchase price of the warrant.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may enter into  repurchase  agreements  with selected  brokers-dealers,
banks or other financial institutions.  A repurchase agreement is an arrangement
under which the purchaser (i.e., the Fund) purchases a U.S.  Government or other
high quality  short-term debt obligation (an "Obligation") and the seller agrees
at the time of sale to repurchase the Obligation at a specified time and price.

Custody  of the  Obligation  will be  maintained  by the Fund's  custodian.  The
repurchase  price may be higher than the purchase  price,  the difference  being
income to the applicable Fund, or the purchase and repurchase  prices may be the
same,  with  interest  at a  stated  rate  due to the  Fund  together  with  the
repurchase  price on  repurchase.  In  either  case,  the  income to the Fund is
unrelated  to the  interest  rate on the  Obligation  subject to the  repurchase
agreement.

Repurchase  agreements pose certain risks for all entities,  including the Fund,
that  utilize  them.  Such risks are not unique to the Fund but are  inherent in
repurchase  agreements.  The Fund seeks to minimize such risks by, among others,
the means  indicated  below,  but because of the  inherent  legal  uncertainties
involved in repurchase agreements, such risks cannot be eliminated.

For purposes of the 1940 Act, a repurchase agreement is deemed to be a loan from
the Fund to the  seller of the  Obligation.  It is not clear  whether  for other
purposes a court would consider the Obligation  purchased by the Fund subject to
a repurchase  agreement as being owned by the Fund or as being  collateral for a
loan by the Fund to the seller.

If in the event of bankruptcy or  insolvency  proceedings  against the seller of
the Obligation,  a court holds that the Fund does not have a perfected  security
interest in the Obligation, the Fund may be required to return the Obligation to
the seller's estate and be treated as an unsecured creditor of the seller. As an
unsecured  creditor,  the  Fund  would be at risk of  losing  some or all of the
principal and income  involved in the  transaction.  To minimize this risk,  the
Fund utilizes  custodians and  subcustodians  that the Manager  believes  follow
customary  securities  industry practice with respect to repurchase  agreements,
and the Manager analyzes the  creditworthiness  of the obligor, in this case the
seller of the  Obligation.  But because of the legal  uncertainties,  this risk,
like others associated with repurchase agreements, cannot be eliminated.

Also, in the event of commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency  proceedings with
respect to the seller of the  Obligation  before  repurchase  of the  Obligation
under a  repurchase  agreement,  the Fund may  encounter  delay and incur  costs
before  being  able to sell  the  security.  Such a delay  may  involve  loss of
interest or a decline in price of the Obligation.

Apart from risks associated with bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings,  there is
also the risk that the seller may fail to repurchase the security.  However,  if
the market value of the Obligation  subject to the repurchase  agreement becomes
less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest), the applicable Fund
will direct the seller of the  Obligation  to deliver  additional  securities so
that the market  value of all  securities  subject to the  repurchase  agreement
equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

Certain  repurchase  agreements  which provide for settlement in more than seven
days can be  liquidated  before the  nominal  fixed term on seven  days' or less
notice. Such repurchase agreements will be regarded as illiquid instruments. The
Fund  currently  intends to limit its  investments  in repurchase  agreements to
those with maturities of less than seven days.

The Fund  may also  enter  into  repurchase  agreements  with any  party  deemed
creditworthy  by the Manager,  including  broker-dealers,  if the transaction is
entered into for investment purposes and the counterparty's  creditworthiness is
at least equal to that of issuers of securities which the Fund may purchase.

Other Investment Companies

 When the Fund invests in another mutual fund, it pays a pro rata portion of the
advisory  fees and other  expenses of that fund as a  shareholder  of that fund.
These  expenses are in addition to the advisory and other expenses the Fund pays
in connection with its own operations.

Options

The Fund may, but is not required to,  purchase and sell put and call options on
its portfolio  securities to protect against changes in market prices.  There is
no  assurance  that the  Fund's use of put and call  options  will  achieve  its
desired  objective,  and the Fund's  use of options  may result in losses to the
Fund.


Covered Call Options.  The Fund may write covered call options as a limited form
of hedging against a decline in the price of securities owned by the Fund.

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 securities.

In return for the premium  received  when it writes a covered call  option,  the
Fund 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 Fund  retains the risk of loss should the price of such  securities
decline.  If the option expires  unexercised,  the Fund 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 Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to
the  difference  between the Fund's  cost for the  underlying  security  and the
proceeds  of sale  (exercise  price  minus  commissions)  plus the amount of the
premium.

The Fund may  terminate a call  option that it has written  before it expires by
entering into a closing  purchase  transaction.  The Fund 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 Fund.

Covered Put Options. The Fund may write covered put options as a limited form of
hedging  against an increase in the price of  securities  that the Fund 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 Fund also receives interest
on the cash and debt  securities  maintained to cover the exercise  price of the
option.  By  writing  a put  option,  the Fund  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.

The Fund 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.

Although  it has no  current  intention  of doing  so,  the Fund may also  write
covered put and call options to attempt to enhance its current return.

Purchasing  Put and Call  Options.  The Fund 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  Fund,  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 Fund must
pay. These costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it sold
the underlying security instead of buying the put option.

The Fund may purchase  call options to hedge against an increase in the price of
securities  that the Fund wants  ultimately  to buy.  Such hedge  protection  is
provided  during the life of the call  option  since the Fund,  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 Fund might have
realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call
option.

Although it has no current intention of doing so, the Fund may also purchase put
and call options to attempt to enhance its current return.

Risks  Involved in the Sale of Options.  Options  transactions  involve  certain
risks,  including the risks that the Manager will not forecast  interest rate or
market  movements  correctly,  that the Fund 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 the  Manager 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,  the Fund 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 the
Manager 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 Fund'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 the  Manager  may be  considered  such a group.  These  position  limits  may
restrict  the  Fund'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 may also restrict the Fund's use of options.

Futures Contracts

Index Futures Contracts and Options.  The Fund may buy and sell options on stock
index  futures  contracts for hedging  purposes.  The Fund may also buy and sell
stock  index  futures  contracts  to the extent  necessary  to close out an open
futures  option.  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 (the "S&P 100 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 the Fund 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 Fund will gain
$400 (100 units x gain of $4).  If the Fund  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 Fund will lose
$200 (100 units x loss of $2).

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 its  investments  successfully  using  futures  contracts  and
related  options,  the Fund 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 Fund's securities.

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,  the Fund 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."

The Fund may purchase or sell options on stock indices in order to close out its
outstanding  positions in options on stock indices which it has  purchased.  The
Fund 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 Fund 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.

Although it does not currently  intend to do so, the Fund may buy and sell stock
index futures  contracts and related  options to attempt to increase  investment
return, provided that the aggregate initial margins and premiums involved do not
exceed 5% of the fair market value of the Fund's total assets.

Margin  Payments.  When the Fund  purchases or sells a futures  contract,  it is
required to deposit with its 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 Fund upon  termination  of the contract,  assuming the Fund 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 the Fund sells a futures contract and the price of the underlying
index rises above the delivery price, the Fund's position declines in value. The
Fund then pays the broker a variation  margin  payment  equal to the  difference
between the  delivery  price of the futures  contract and the value of the index
underlying  the futures  contract.  Conversely,  if the price of the  underlying
index  falls  below the  delivery  price of the  contract,  the  Fund'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 value of the index underlying the futures contract.

When the Fund terminates a position in a futures contract, a final determination
of variation margin is made,  additional cash is paid by or to the Fund, and the
Fund 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 Fund  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 Fund 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.

The ability to establish and close out positions in options on futures contracts
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 Fund  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 no such market exists for particular  options, it might not be possible to
effect closing transactions in such options, with the result that the Fund would
have to exercise the options in order to realize any profit.

Hedging Risks. There are several risks in connection with the use by the Fund 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 Fund's  securities which are the subject
of a hedge. The Manager 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 Fund's portfolio securities sought to be hedged.

Successful use of futures contracts and options by the Fund for hedging purposes
is also subject to the Manager's ability to predict  correctly  movements in the
direction of the market.  It is possible that, where the Fund 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
Fund 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 the Manager
still may not result in a successful hedging  transaction over a very short time
period.

Other Risks. The Fund 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 the Fund 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 Fund
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 Fund may be exposed to risk of loss.

Temporary Defensive Strategies

At times,  the Fund's Manager may judge that economic or market  conditions make
pursuing  the  Fund's  basic  investment  strategy  inconsistent  with  the best
interests of its  shareholders.  At such times,  the Manager may temporarily use
alternative strategies,  primarily designed to reduce fluctuations in the values
of the Fund's assets. In implementing these "defensive strategies", the Fund may
invest in cash or cash equivalents, shares of money market investment companies,
commercial paper, zero coupon bonds, repurchase agreements, and other securities
its Manager believes to be consistent with the Fund's best interests.

Investment Restrictions

The Fund has elected to be  classified  as a  diversified  series of an open-end
investment  company.  In  addition,  the Fund is subject to certain  fundamental
policies and restrictions that may not be changed without shareholder  approval.
Shareholder  approval  means  approval by the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the
outstanding  voting  securities of the Trust (or a particular series if a matter
affects just that series),  or (ii) 67% or more of the voting securities present
at a  meeting  if the  holders  of  more  than  50% of  the  outstanding  voting
securities of the Trust (or a particular  series) are present or  represented by
proxy. As a matter of fundamental policy, the Fund may not:

(1)               borrow  money,  except as permitted  under the 1940 Act and as
                  interpreted  or  modified  by  regulatory   authority   having
                  jurisdiction, from time to time;

(2)               issue senior  securities,  except as permitted  under the 1940
                  Act and as  interpreted  or modified by  regulatory  authority
                  having jurisdiction, from time to time;

(3)               engage in the business of  underwriting  securities  issued by
                  others, except to the extent that the Fund may be deemed to be
                  an underwriter in connection with the disposition of portfolio
                  securities;

(4)               purchase  or sell real  estate,  which  term does not  include
                  securities of companies which deal in real estate or mortgages
                  or  investments  secured by real estate or interests  therein,
                  except that the Fund reserves freedom of action to hold and to
                  sell real estate acquired as a result of the Fund's  ownership
                  of securities;

 (5)  purchase   physical   commodities   or  contracts   relating  to  physical
 commodities; or

(6)               make  loans  except  as  permitted  under  the 1940 Act and as
                  interpreted  or  modified  by  regulatory   authority   having
                  jurisdiction, from time to time.

         Nonfundamental policies may be changed by the Trustees of the Trust and
         without shareholder approval. As a matter of nonfundamental policy, the
         Fund does not currently intend to:

         borrow   money in an amount greater than one-third of its total assets,
                  except (i) for  temporary  or  emergency  purposes and (ii) by
                  engaging in reverse  repurchase  agreements,  dollar rolls, or
                  other  investments  or  transactions  described  in the Fund's
                  registration statement which may be deemed to be borrowings;

 (2) enter into either of reverse  repurchase  agreements  or dollar rolls in an
 amount greater than 5% of its total assets;

(3)               purchase  securities on margin,  except (i) in connection with
                  arbitrage transactions, (ii) for margin deposits in connection
                  with  short  sales,   futures  contracts,   options  or  other
                  permitted investments, and (iii) that the Fund may obtain such
                  short-term  credits as may be necessary  for the  clearance of
                  securities transactions;

(4)               purchase  options,  unless the aggregate  premiums paid on all
                  such options held by the Fund at any time do not exceed 20% of
                  its total  assets;  or sell put options,  if as a result,  the
                  aggregate value of the obligations underlying such put options
                  would exceed 50% of its total assets;

(5)               enter into futures  contracts or purchase  options thereon for
                  other than bona fide hedging purposes unless immediately after
                  the purchase,  the value of the aggregate  initial margin with
                  respect to such  futures  contracts  entered into on behalf of
                  the Fund and the  premiums  paid for such  options  on futures
                  contracts  does not exceed 5% of the fair market  value of the
                  Fund's total  assets;  provided  that in the case of an option
                  that is in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money
                  amount may be excluded in computing the 5% limit;

(6)               purchase  warrants if as a result,  such securities,  taken at
                  the lower of cost or market value,  would  represent more than
                  5% of the value of the Fund's total assets (for this  purpose,
                  warrants  acquired in units or attached to securities  will be
                  deemed to have no value); and

(7) lend  portfolio  securities in an amount greater than one-third of its total
assets.

Whenever  an  investment  objective,  policy  or  restriction  set  forth in the
Prospectus  or  this  Statement  of  Additional  Information  states  a  maximum
percentage  of assets  that may be  invested  in any  security or other asset or
describes a policy regarding quality  standards,  such percentage  limitation or
standard shall, unless otherwise indicated, apply to the Fund only at the time a
transaction is entered into. Accordingly,  if a percentage limitation is adhered
to at the time of  investment,  a later  increase or decrease in the  percentage
which results from  circumstances  not involving any  affirmative  action by the
Fund,  such as a change in market  conditions  or a change in the  Fund's  asset
level or other circumstances beyond the Fund's control, will not be considered a
violation.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FUND

The Fund is a  diversified  series of The Weiss  Fund,  an  open-end  management
investment  company  registered  under the 1940 Act. The Trust was  organized on
August 10, 1995 as a Massachusetts  business trust under the name Weiss Treasury
Fund.  The Trust's name was changed in April 1999.  The Board of Trustees of the
Trust  oversees  the  business  affairs  of the  Trust  and is  responsible  for
significant  decisions relating to the Fund's investment objective and policies.
The Trustees  delegate the day-to-day  management of the Fund to the officers of
the Trust.

The Trust's  authorized  capital  consists of an  unlimited  number of shares of
beneficial  interest,  $.01 par  value,  all of which  have  equal  rights as to
voting, dividends and liquidation.  The Trustees have the authority to issue two
or more series of shares and to designate the relative rights and preferences as
between the different series. The Trustees,  in their discretion,  may authorize
the division of shares of a series into different classes,  permitting shares of
different classes to be distributed by different methods.  Although shareholders
of different classes of a series would have an interest in the same portfolio of
assets,  shareholders  of  different  classes  may bear  different  expenses  in
connection with different methods of distribution.  The Trustees have authorized
the  establishment and designation of two classes of shares of the Fund, Class A
and Class S shares.  This SAI relates to the Fund's  Class A shares.  All shares
issued and outstanding will be fully paid and  non-assessable  by the Trust, and
redeemable as described in this Statement of Additional  Information  and in the
Prospectus.

On  February  23,  1995,  the SEC adopted  Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act,  which
permits a registered  open-end  investment  company to issue multiple classes of
shares in accordance  with a written plan approved by the  investment  company's
board of  directors/trustees  and filed with the SEC. At a meeting held on April
__,  1999,  the Board  adopted a Rule 18f-3 plan on behalf of the Fund.  The key
features of the Rule 18f-3 plan are as follows:  (i) shares of each class of the
Fund  represent  an equal  pro rata  interest  in the  Fund and  generally  have
identical voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights, preferences,  powers,
restrictions,  limitations,  qualifications,  terms and conditions,  except that
each class bears certain class-specific  expenses and has separate voting rights
on certain matters that relate solely to that class or in which the interests of
shareholders  of one class differ from the interests of  shareholders of another
class and (ii) subject to certain limitations described in the Prospectus, Class
A shares of the Fund may be  exchanged  for  shares of the same class of another
Weiss fund.

The  assets of the Trust  received  for the issue or sale of the  shares of each
series  (or class  thereof)  and all  income,  earnings,  profits  and  proceeds
thereof,  subject only to the rights of creditors, are specifically allocated to
such series (or class  thereof) and  constitute  the  underlying  assets of such
series (or class).  The underlying  assets of each series (or class thereof) are
segregated on the books of account,  and are to be charged with the  liabilities
in respect to such  series  (or  class)  and with a  proportionate  share of the
general  liabilities  of  the  Trust.  If a  series  were  unable  to  meet  its
obligations,  the  assets  of all  other  series  may in some  circumstances  be
available to creditors for that purpose,  in which case the assets of such other
series  could  be used to meet  liabilities  which  are not  otherwise  properly
chargeable  to them.  Expenses  with respect to any two or more series are to be
allocated in proportion to the asset value of the respective series except where
allocations of direct expenses can otherwise be fairly made. The officers of the
Trust,  subject to the general  supervision  of the Trustees,  have the power to
determine  which  liabilities  are  allocable  to a given  series,  or which are
general or allocable to two or more series.  In the event of the  dissolution or
liquidation of the Trust or any series,  the holders of the shares of any series
are  entitled  to  receive  as a class  the  underlying  assets  of such  shares
available for distribution to shareholders.

Shares of each class of each series of the Trust  entitle  their  holders to one
vote per  share;  however,  separate  votes are taken by each  series on matters
affecting an  individual  series.  Generally,  all classes of shares of a series
will vote together,  except with respect to a distribution  plan applicable to a
class of that  series or when a class vote is required by the 1940 Act. A change
in  investment  policy for a series  would,  for example,  be voted upon only by
shareholders of the series  involved.  Additionally,  approval of the investment
advisory  agreement  is a matter to be  determined  separately  by each  series.
Approval  by the  shareholders  of one  series is  effective  as to that  series
whether or not enough  votes are  received  from the  shareholders  of the other
series to approve such agreement as to the other series.

The Declaration of Trust provides that  obligations of the Trust are not binding
upon the Trustees individually but only upon the property of the Trust, that the
Trustees and  officers  will not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of
fact or law, and 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 provided 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.  However,  nothing in the  Declaration  of Trust
protects or  indemnifies a Trustee or officer  against any liability to which he
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.

The Fund is not  required  to and  does  not  currently  intend  to hold  annual
shareholder meetings,  although special meetings may be called for purposes such
as electing or removing Trustees,  changing fundamental  investment policies, or
approving certain contracts. Shareholders will be assisted in communicating with
other  shareholders in connection with removing a Trustee as if Section 16(c) of
the 1940 Act were applicable.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES

Investment Manager

As stated in the Prospectus,  the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into
an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, Weiss Money Management,  Inc.
Under  the  Advisory  Agreement,  the  Manager  provides  continuing  investment
management  for the  Fund  consistent  with  the  Fund's  investment  objective,
policies and  restrictions and determines what securities shall be purchased for
or sold by the Fund.  The Manager is controlled  (as that term is defined in the
1940 Act) by Martin D. Weiss, its sole director and shareholder.

The Fund has agreed to  compensate  the Manager for its  services by the monthly
payment of a fee at the annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's average net assets.

The Manager is  responsible  for fees and  expenses of  Trustees,  officers  and
employees  of the  Trust  who are  affiliated  with  the  Manager.  The  Fund is
responsible for all of its other expenses,  including fees and expenses incurred
in connection  with  membership in investment  company  organizations;  brokers'
commissions; payments for portfolio pricing services to a pricing agent, if any;
legal,  auditing and accounting expenses;  taxes and governmental fees; transfer
agent fees;  the cost of preparing  share  certificates  or other  share-related
expenses, such as expenses of issuance, sale, redemption or repurchase of shares
of beneficial  interest;  the expenses of and fees for registering or qualifying
securities for sale;  the fees and expenses of Trustees,  officers and employees
of the Trust who are not affiliated  with the Manager;  the cost of printing and
distributing reports and notices to shareholders; and the fees and disbursements
of custodians. The Fund is also responsible for expenses of shareholder meetings
and expenses  incurred in connection with litigation  proceedings and claims and
the legal  obligation  it may have to indemnify  its officers and Trustees  with
respect thereto.

Sub-Adviser

Harvest Advisors,  Inc., 11612 Bee Cave Road, Suite 110, Austin, Texas 78733 has
been retained by the Manager to provide sub-advisory services to the Fund. Under
its agreement with the Manager,  the Sub-Adviser  renders continuous  investment
advice to the Manager with respect to investment and  reinvestment of the Fund's
assets  in  various  securities,  based  upon  computer  models  constructed  in
accordance  with the Fund's  investment  objective  and policies;  however,  the
Manager,  in  the  exercise  of  its  independent  judgment,   retains  ultimate
discretion  regarding and  responsibility for the implementation of transactions
in seeking to achieve the Fund's  objective.  The Manager pays the Sub-Adviser a
fee at the  annual  rate of [ ]% of the  Fund's  average  net  assets out of the
investment  advisory  fees  it  receives  from  the  Fund.  The  Sub-Adviser  is
controlled  (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) by Anthony L. Sagami,  its
sole shareholder and officer.

Distributor

The Fund's shares are sold on a  continuous,  best efforts basis by Weiss Funds,
Inc. (the "Distributor"),  4176 Burns Road, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410, a
registered broker-dealer and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager.

Administrator

PFPC Inc.,  Bellevue Park Corporate Center,  103 Bellevue  Parkway,  Wilmington,
Delaware 19809 ("PFPC"), performs various administrative and accounting services
for  the  Fund.  These  services  include  maintenance  of  books  and  records,
preparation  of  certain   governmental  filings  and  shareholder  reports  and
computation   of  net  asset   values  and  dividend   distributions.   For  its
administrative  services,  PFPC receives a fee, payable  monthly,  at the annual
rate of .09% per annum of the  average  daily net  assets of the Fund,  plus any
out-of-pocket expenses.

Transfer Agent, Dividend Disbursing Agent and Custodian

PFPC  serves  as the  Fund's  transfer  agent,  dividend  disbursing  agent  and
registrar.

PFPC Trust Company, 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,  Delaware 19899, serves as
custodian for the Fund's portfolio securities and cash.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

From time to time,  quotations  of the Fund's  performance  may be  included  in
advertisements,  sales  literature  or reports to  shareholders  or  prospective
investors.  Performance information will be calculated separately for each class
of the Fund.  Different fees and expenses applicable to each of the classes will
affect the performance of those classes.  The performance figures are calculated
in the following manners:

Average Annual Total Return

Average  annual total return is the average  annual  compound rate of return for
periods of one year, five years,  and ten years,  all ended on the last day of a
recent calendar quarter.  Average annual total return quotations reflect changes
in the price of the Fund's  shares and assume  that all  dividends  and  capital
gains  distributions  during the  respective  periods  were  reinvested  in Fund
shares.  Average annual total return for the Fund's Class A shares is calculated
by  finding  the  average  annual  compound  rates of return  of a  hypothetical
investment over such periods  according to the following formula (average annual
total return is then expressed as a percentage):

                           T = (ERV/P)1/n - 1
         Where:

           P                = a hypothetical  initial investment
                            of  $1,000,  adjusted  to deduct the
                            applicable sales charge.
           T        =       average annual total return.
           n        =       number of years.
           ERV      =       ending redeemable value:
           ERV  is the  value,  at  the  end  of the  applicable
           period,  of a hypothetical  $1,000 investment made at
           the beginning of the applicable period.

The  Fund  may,  from  time to  time,  include  in  advertisements,  promotional
literature or reports to shareholders or prospective investors total return data
that  are  not   calculated   according   to  the   formula   set  forth   above
("Non-Standardized  Return").  Sales  charges  are not  taken  into  account  in
calculating  Non-Standardized  Return; a sales charge, if deducted, would reduce
the return.

Cumulative Total Return

Cumulative  total  return is the  cumulative  rate of  return on a  hypothetical
initial  investment of $1,000 for a specified  period.  Cumulative  total return
quotations reflect changes in the price of the Fund's shares and assume that all
dividends and capital gains  distributions  during the period were reinvested in
additional shares of the same class of the Fund. Cumulative total return for the
Fund's Class A shares is calculated by finding the cumulative rates of return of
a hypothetical  investment over such periods  according to the following formula
(cumulative total return is then expressed as a percentage):

                           C = (ERV/P) - 1
         Where:

         C        =        Cumulative Total Return
                           adjusted to deduct the applicable sales charge.
 .        P        =        a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000.
         ERV      =        ending redeemable value:
                           ERV  is the  value,  at  the  end  of the  applicable
                           period,  of a hypothetical  $1,000 investment made at
                           the beginning of the applicable period.

Total Return

Total Return is the rate of return on an  investment  for a specified  period of
time calculated in the same manner as cumulative total return.

Capital Change

Capital change measures the return from invested  capital  including  reinvested
capital gains distributions. Capital change does not include the reinvestment of
income dividends.

Comparison of Portfolio Performance

A  comparison  of  the  quoted  non-standard  performance  offered  for  various
investments is valid only if performance is calculated in the same manner. Since
there  are  different  methods  of  calculating  performance,  investors  should
consider the effects of the methods used to calculate performance when comparing
performance of the Fund with performance quoted with respect to other investment
companies or types of investments.

In connection  with  communicating  its  performance  to current or  prospective
shareholders,  the Fund also may compare  these  figures to the  performance  of
unmanaged  indices  which may assume  reinvestment  of dividends or interest but
generally do not reflect  deductions for  administrative  and management  costs.
Examples include,  but are not limited to the Dow Jones Industrial Average,  the
Consumer  Price Index,  Standard & Poor's 500  Composite  Stock Price Index (S&P
500), the NASDAQ OTC Composite Index, the NASDAQ  Industrials Index, the Russell
2000 Index, and the statistics published by the Small Business Administration.

From  time  to  time,  in  advertising  and  marketing  literature,  the  Fund's
performance  may be compared to the  performance of broad groups of mutual funds
with similar investment goals, as tracked by independent  organizations such as,
Investment  Company  Data,  Inc.  ("ICD"),   Lipper  Analytical  Services,  Inc.
("Lipper"), CDA Investment Technologies,  Inc. ("CDA"), Morningstar, Inc., Value
Line  Mutual  Fund  Survey  and  other  independent  organizations.  When  these
organizations'  tracking  results  are used,  the Fund will be  compared  to the
appropriate fund category, that is, by fund objective and portfolio holdings, or
to the  appropriate  volatility  grouping,  where  volatility  is a measure of a
fund's risk.

From time to time, in marketing and other Fund literature, Trustees and officers
of the  Fund,  the  Fund's  portfolio  manager,  or  members  of  the  portfolio
management  team may be  depicted  and quoted to give  prospective  and  current
shareholders  a better sense of the outlook and approach of those who manage the
Fund. In addition,  the assets that the Manager has under  management in various
geographical areas may be quoted in advertising and marketing materials.

Statistical  and  other   information,   as  provided  by  the  Social  Security
Administration,  may be used in marketing  materials  pertaining  to  retirement
planning in order to estimate future payouts of social security benefits.
Estimates may be used on demographic and economic data.

Marketing and other Fund  literature  may include a description of the potential
risks and rewards associated with an investment in the Fund. The description may
include a "risk/return spectrum" which compares the Fund to other Weiss funds or
broad categories of funds, such as money market,  bond or equity funds, in terms
of potential  risks and  returns.  Money market funds are designed to maintain a
constant $1.00 share price and have a fluctuating  yield. Share price, yield and
total  return of a bond fund will  fluctuate.  The share  price and return of an
equity fund also will  fluctuate.  The  description may also compare the Fund to
bank  products,   such  as  certificates   of  deposit.   Unlike  mutual  funds,
certificates of deposit are insured up to $100,000 by the U.S.
Government and offer a fixed rate of return.

Because bank products  guarantee the principal  value of an investment and money
market funds seek stability of principal, these investments are considered to be
less risky than  investments  in either bond or equity funds,  which may involve
the loss of principal. However, all long-term investments, including investments
in bank products, may be subject to inflation risk, which is the risk of erosion
of the value of an  investment as prices  increase over a long time period.  The
risk/returns  associated  with an  investment  in bond or equity funds also will
depend upon currency exchange fluctuation.

A risk/return spectrum generally will position the various investment categories
in the following order: bank products, money market funds, bond funds and equity
funds. Shorter-term bond funds generally are considered less risky and offer the
potential  for less return  than  longer-term  bond  funds.  The same is true of
domestic bond funds relative to  international  bond funds,  and bond funds that
purchase  higher quality  securities  relative to bond funds that purchase lower
quality securities.  Growth and income equity funds are generally  considered to
be less risky and offer the  potential  for less return than  growth  funds.  In
addition,  international  equity funds  usually are  considered  more risky than
domestic equity funds but generally offer the potential for greater return.

Risk/return  spectrums  also may depict  funds that invest in both  domestic and
foreign securities or a combination of bond and equity securities.

Evaluation of Fund performance  made by independent  sources may also be used in
advertisements  concerning the Fund,  including reprints of, or selections from,
editorials or articles about the Fund.

BUYING SHARES

Share  purchases are executed at the net asset value next  calculated,  less any
applicable  front-end  sales charge,  after a purchase  order is received by the
Fund's  transfer  agent  in good  order as  described  in the  Prospectus  under
"Opening an Account" and "Adding to Your Investment". Purchases are made in full
and fractional shares.

A  front-end  sales  charge of 1.50% is assessed on  purchases  of Fund  shares,
subject  to a  maximum  of  $75  per  account.  Broker-dealers  other  than  the
Distributor  may  assess  additional  transaction  charges  in  connection  with
purchases of Fund shares. The front-end sales charge may be waived in connection
with certain  purchases as described in the Prospectus under "Opening an Account
- - Waiver of Front-End Sales Charge."

Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), Roth IRAs and Education IRAs. Shares of
the Trust may be used as a funding medium for retirement plans,  including IRAs,
Roth IRAs and Education  IRAs.  Eligible  individuals may establish an IRA, Roth
IRA or Education IRA by adopting a custodial  account  available  from PNC Bank,
National  Association,  which  may  impose  a  charge  for  establishing  and/or
maintaining the account.

REDEMPTIONS

The Trust may  suspend  the  right of  redemption  of shares of the Fund and may
postpone  payment:  (i) for any period during which the New York Stock  Exchange
(the "Exchange") is closed,  other than customary  weekend and holiday closings,
or  during  which  trading  on the  Exchange  is  restricted,  (ii) when the SEC
determines  that a state of emergency  exists which may make payment or transfer
not  reasonably  practicable,  (iii)  as the SEC  may by  order  permit  for the
protection of the  Shareholders of the Trust, or (iv) at any other time when the
Trust  may,  under  applicable  laws and  regulations,  suspend  payment  on the
redemption of its shares.

The Trust agrees to redeem shares of the Fund solely in cash up to the lesser of
$250,000 or 1% of the net asset  value of the Fund during any 90-day  period for
any one  shareholder.  The Trust  reserves  the right to pay other  redemptions,
either total or partial,  by a  distribution  in kind of securities  (instead of
cash) from the Fund's portfolio,  although the Trust has no current intention to
do so. The securities  distributed in such a distribution would be valued at the
same value as that  assigned to them in  calculating  the net asset value of the
shares being redeemed.  If a shareholder  receives a distribution in kind, he or
she  should  expect  to incur  transaction  costs  when he or she  converts  the
securities to cash.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund intends to  distribute  to  shareholders  substantially  all of its net
investment  income annually.  Net investment income for the Fund consists of all
income accrued on the Fund's assets,  less all actual and accrued expenses.  The
Fund intends to  distribute  to  shareholders  net realized  capital gains after
utilization of capital loss carryforwards, if any, at least annually.

Distributions  by the Fund are  reinvested in  additional  shares of the Fund or
paid in cash at the  election of the  shareholder.  If no election is made,  all
distributions  will be reinvested in additional Fund shares. If an investment is
in the form of a retirement plan, all dividends and capital gains  distributions
must be reinvested into the shareholder's  account.  Distributions are generally
taxable, whether received in cash or reinvested.
Exchanges among the Weiss funds are also taxable events.

TAXES

The  following  is a general  discussion  of  certain  tax rules  thought  to be
applicable  with  respect  to the Fund.  It is  merely a  summary  and is not an
exhaustive   discussion  of  all  possible  situations  or  of  all  potentially
applicable taxes. Accordingly,  shareholders and prospective shareholders should
consult a competent tax adviser about the tax  consequences to them of investing
in the Fund.

General.  The Fund  intends  to  qualify  annually  and elect to be treated as a
regulated  investment  company under  Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify,  the
Fund must,  among other things,  (a) derive in each taxable year 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,  or other income  (including  but not limited to gains from options,
futures,  and  forward  contracts)  derived  with  respect  to its  business  of
investing  in such  stock,  securities  or  currencies;  and (b)  diversify  its
holdings  so that,  at the end of each fiscal  quarter,  (i) at least 50% of the
market  value of the  Fund's  assets is  represented  by cash,  U.S.  Government
securities,  the securities of other regulated investment  companies,  and other
securities, with such other securities of any one issuer limited for purposes of
this  calculation  to an amount not greater than 5% of the Fund's assets and 10%
of the outstanding  voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25%
of the value of its total assets is invested in  securities  of any other issuer
(other than U.S.  Government  securities and the  securities of other  regulated
investment companies).

As a regulated  investment  company,  the Fund  generally will not be subject to
U.S.  Federal  income  tax on  its  investment  company  taxable  income  (which
includes,  among other items,  dividends,  interest and net  short-term  capital
gains in excess of net  long-term  capital  losses) and net  capital  gains (net
long-term  capital  gains in excess of net  short-term  capital  losses) that it
distributes to shareholders,  if at least 90% of its investment  company taxable
income for the taxable year is distributed.  The Fund intends to distribute such
income.

Amounts not  distributed  on a timely basis in  accordance  with a calendar year
distribution  requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax. To avoid
that tax, the Fund must distribute  during each calendar year an amount equal to
(1) at least 98% of its  ordinary  income (not  taking into  account any capital
gains or losses) for the calendar year, (2) at least 98% of its capital gains in
excess of its capital  losses  (adjusted  for certain  ordinary  losses) for the
twelve-month  period  ending on October  31 of the  calendar  year,  and (3) all
ordinary  income and capital gains for previous years that were not  distributed
during such years. A distribution  will be treated as paid on December 31 of the
current  calendar  year if it is declared  by the Fund in  October,  November or
December of that year to shareholders of record at some date in such a month and
paid  by  the  Fund  during  January  of  the  following   calendar  year.  Such
distributions  will be taken into account by  shareholders  in the calendar year
the  distributions  are  declared,  rather than the  calendar  year in which the
distributions are received.

Distributions. Distributions of investment company taxable income are taxable to
a U.S.  shareholder  as  ordinary  income,  whether  paid  in  cash  or  shares.
Distributions of net capital gains, if any, which are designated as capital gain
dividends are taxable to shareholders as long-term  capital gains,  whether paid
in cash or in shares,  and regardless of how long the  shareholder  has held the
Fund's shares.  Such  distributions are not eligible for the dividends  received
deduction.  The tax treatment of distributions from the Fund is the same whether
the  dividends  are  received  in cash  or in  additional  shares.  Shareholders
receiving  distributions  in the form of newly  issued  shares  will have a cost
basis in each share received equal to the net asset value of a share of the Fund
on the  reinvestment  date. A distribution  of an amount in excess of the Fund's
current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated by a shareholder as
a return of capital which is applied against and reduces the shareholder's basis
in his or her  shares.  To the extent  that the amount of any such  distribution
exceeds the shareholder's basis in his or her shares, the excess will be treated
by the  shareholder as gain from a sale or exchange of the shares.  Shareholders
will be notified annually as to the U.S. Federal tax status of distributions and
shareholders  receiving  distributions  in the form of newly issued  shares will
receive a report as to the net asset value of the shares received.

If shares of the Fund are held in a tax-deferred retirement plan account, income
and gain will not be taxable each year. Instead,  the taxable portion of amounts
held in a  retirement  plan account  generally  will be subject to tax only when
distributed from that account,  and all of those taxable amounts will be taxable
as ordinary income.

If the net asset  value of shares is  reduced  below a  shareholder's  cost as a
result of a distribution  by the Fund,  such  distribution  will be taxable even
though it represents a return of invested  capital.  Investors should be careful
to consider the tax  implications of buying shares just prior to a distribution.
The  price of  shares  purchased  at this  time may  reflect  the  amount of the
forthcoming  distribution.  Those  purchasing just prior to a distribution  will
receive a distribution which will nevertheless be taxable to them.

Disposition of Shares. Upon a redemption, sale or exchange of his or her shares,
a  shareholder  will  realize a taxable gain or loss  depending  upon his or her
basis in the shares.  Such gain or loss will be treated as capital  gain or loss
if the shares are capital assets in the shareholder's  hands and, if so, will be
long-term or short-term, depending upon the shareholder's holding period for the
shares.  Any loss realized on a redemption,  sale or exchange will be disallowed
to  the  extent  the  shares  disposed  of  are  replaced   (including   through
reinvestment  of dividends)  within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before
and ending 30 days after the shares are disposed  of. In such a case,  the basis
of the shares acquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. Any loss
realized by a shareholder on the sale of Fund shares held by the shareholder for
six months or less will be treated as a long-term  capital loss to the extent of
any  distributions  of net  capital  gains  received  or treated as having  been
received by the shareholder with respect to such shares.

Discount.  Certain  of the bonds  purchased  by the Fund may be treated as bonds
that were originally  issued at a discount.  Original issue discount  represents
interest for Federal  income tax  purposes  and can  generally be defined as the
difference  between  the price at which a  security  was  issued  and its stated
redemption  price at maturity.  Original  issue  discount is treated for Federal
income tax  purposes as income  earned by the Fund even though the Fund  doesn't
actually  receive  any  cash,  and  therefore  is  subject  to the  distribution
requirements  of the Code.  The amount of income earned by the Fund generally is
determined on the basis of a constant yield to maturity which takes into account
the semiannual compounding of accrued interest.

In addition,  some of the bonds may be purchased by the Fund at a discount which
exceeds the  original  issue  discount on such bonds,  if any.  This  additional
discount  represents  market discount for Federal income tax purposes.  The gain
realized on the  disposition of any bond having market  discount will be treated
as ordinary  income to the extent it does not exceed the accrued market discount
on such bond (unless the Fund elects for all its debt securities  acquired after
the first day of the first taxable year to which the election  applies  having a
fixed  maturity  date of more  than one year  from the date of issue to  include
market discount in income in tax years to which it is attributable).  Generally,
market  discount  accrues on a daily  basis for each day the bond is held by the
Fund at a constant rate over the time remaining to the bond's maturity.

Hedging  Transactions.  The  taxation  of equity  options  and  over-the-counter
options on debt  securities is governed by Code section  1234.  Pursuant to Code
section 1234, the premium  received by the Fund for selling a put or call option
is not  included in income at the time of receipt.  If the option  expires,  the
premium  is  short-term  capital  gain to the Fund.  If the Fund  enters  into a
closing  transaction,  the  difference  between the amount paid to close out its
position and the premium received is short-term  capital gain or loss. If a call
option written by the Fund is exercised,  thereby requiring the Fund to sell the
underlying security, the premium will increase the amount realized upon the sale
of such security and any resulting  gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss,
and will be long-term or  short-term  depending  upon the holding  period of the
security. With respect to a put or call option that is purchased by the Fund, if
the option is sold,  any resulting  gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss,
and will be long-term or  short-term,  depending  upon the holding period of the
option.  If the option  expires,  the  resulting  loss is a capital  loss and is
long-term or short-term, depending upon the holding period of the option. If the
option is exercised,  the cost of the option,  in the case of a call option,  is
added to the basis of the  purchased  security and, in the case of a put option,
reduces the amount  realized on the underlying  security in determining  gain or
loss.

Certain options and futures  contracts in which the Fund may invest are "section
1256  contracts."  Gains or losses  on  section  1256  contracts  generally  are
considered  60% long-term  and 40%  short-term  capital  gains or losses.  Also,
section  1256  contracts  held by the Fund at the end of each taxable year (and,
generally,  for  purposes  of the 4% excise tax, on October 31 of each year) are
"marked-to-market" (that is, treated as sold at fair market value), resulting in
unrealized gains or losses being treated as though they were realized.

Generally,  the  hedging  transactions  undertaken  by the  Fund may  result  in
"straddles" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  The straddle rules may affect
the  character of gains (or losses)  realized by the Fund.  In addition,  losses
realized by the Fund on  positions  that are part of a straddle  may be deferred
under the straddle  rules,  rather than being taken into account in  calculating
the  taxable  income for the  taxable  year in which the  losses  are  realized.
Because  only a few  regulations  implementing  the  straddle  rules  have  been
promulgated,   the  tax   consequences  to  the  Fund  of  engaging  in  hedging
transactions  are not  entirely  clear.  Hedging  transactions  may increase the
amount  of  short-term  capital  gain  realized  by the  Fund  which is taxed as
ordinary income when distributed to shareholders.

The Fund may make one or more of the  elections  available  under the Code which
are applicable to straddles. If the Fund makes any of the elections, the amount,
character  and timing of the  recognition  of gains or losses from the  affected
straddle  positions  will be determined  under rules that vary  according to the
election(s)  made.  The rules  applicable  under  certain of the  elections  may
operate to  accelerate  the  recognition  of gains or losses  from the  affected
straddle positions.

Because the straddle  rules may affect the  character of gains or losses,  defer
losses and/or  accelerate  the  recognition of gains or losses from the affected
straddle  positions,  the amount which may be distributed to  shareholders,  and
which will be taxed to them as ordinary income or long-term capital gain, may be
increased or decreased as compared to a fund that did not engage in such hedging
transactions.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Fund may recognize gain (but not loss)
from a constructive  sale of certain  "appreciated  financial  positions" if the
Fund enters into a short sale, offsetting notional principal contract or forward
contract  transaction with respect to the appreciated  position or substantially
identical property. Appreciated financial positions subject to this constructive
sale treatment are interests  (including options and forward contracts and short
sales)  in  stock,   partnership   interests,   certain  actively  traded  trust
instruments and certain debt  instruments.  Constructive sale treatment does not
apply to certain  transactions  closed in the 90-day period ending with the 30th
day after the close of the taxable year, if certain conditions are met.

Unless certain  constructive  sale rules (discussed more fully above) apply, the
Fund will not realize gain or loss on a short sale of a security until it closes
the transaction by delivering the borrowed  security to the lender.  Pursuant to
Code Section 1233, all or a portion of any gain arising from a short sale may be
treated as short-term capital gain,  regardless of the period for which the Fund
held the security used to close the short sale. In addition,  the Fund's holding
period of any security  which is  substantially  identical to that which is sold
short  may be  reduced  or  eliminated  as a result of the  short  sale.  Recent
legislation,  however,  alters this  treatment by treating  certain  short sales
against the box and other  transactions as a constructive sale of the underlying
security held by the Fund,  thereby  requiring  current  recognition of gain, as
described more fully above.  Similarly,  if the Fund enters into a short sale of
property that becomes substantially  worthless,  the Fund will recognize gain at
that time as though it had closed the short sale.  Future  Treasury  regulations
may apply similar treatment to other  transactions with respect to property that
becomes substantially worthless.

Backup Withholding. The Fund generally will be required to report to the IRS all
distributions  as well as gross  proceeds  from  the  redemption  of the  Fund's
shares,   except  in  the  case  of  certain  exempt   shareholders.   All  such
distributions  and proceeds will be subject to withholding of Federal income tax
at a rate of 31% ("backup  withholding") in the case of non-exempt  shareholders
if (1) the  shareholder  fails to  furnish  the Fund  with  and to  certify  the
shareholder's correct taxpayer  identification number or social security number;
(2) the IRS notifies the shareholder or the Fund that the shareholder has failed
to  report  properly  certain  interest  and  dividend  income to the IRS and to
respond  to  notices  to  that  effect;  or (3)  when  required  to do  so,  the
shareholder  fails  to  certify  that  he  or  she  is  not  subject  to  backup
withholding.   If  the   withholding   provisions  are   applicable,   any  such
distributions or proceeds,  whether  reinvested in additional shares or taken in
cash,  will be reduced by the amounts  required to be withheld.  Other Taxation.
The  foregoing  discussion  relates  only  to  U.S.  Federal  income  tax law as
applicable  to U.S.  persons  (i.e.,  U.S.  citizens and  residents and domestic
corporations,  partnerships, trusts and estates). Distributions by the Fund also
may be subject to state and local  taxes,  and their  treatment  under state and
local income tax laws may differ from the U.S. Federal income tax treatment.  In
many states,  Fund distributions which are derived from interest on certain U.S.
Government  obligations are exempt from state and local  taxation.  Shareholders
should  consult their tax advisers with respect to particular  questions of U.S.
Federal, state and local taxation.  Shareholders who are not U.S. persons should
consult  their tax  advisers  regarding  U.S.  and foreign tax  consequences  of
ownership of shares of the Fund,  including the likelihood that distributions to
them would be subject to withholding of U.S. Federal income tax at a rate of 30%
(or at a lower rate under a tax treaty).

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION

To the  maximum  extent  feasible,  the  Manager  places  orders  for  portfolio
transactions  through the Distributor,  which in turn places orders on behalf of
the Fund with other  broker-dealers.  The  Distributor  receives no commissions,
fees or  other  remuneration  from the Fund  for  this  service.  Allocation  of
brokerage is supervised by the Manager.

The primary objective of the Manager in placing orders for the purchase and sale
of  securities  for the Fund's  portfolio  is to obtain the most  favorable  net
results taking into account such factors as price, commission (negotiable in the
case of U.S. national securities exchange  transactions) where applicable,  size
of  order,   difficulty  of  execution  and  skill  required  of  the  executing
broker-dealer.  The Manager  seeks to evaluate  the  overall  reasonableness  of
brokerage commissions paid (to the extent applicable) through the familiarity of
the Distributor with commissions charged on comparable transactions,  as well as
by  comparing  commissions  paid by the  Fund to  reported  commissions  paid by
others.  The Manager reviews on a routine basis commission rates,  execution and
settlement services performed, making internal and external comparisons.

The Fund's  purchases and sales of fixed-income  securities are generally placed
by the Manager with primary  market makers for these  securities on a net basis,
without any brokerage  commission being paid by the Fund. Trading does, however,
involve  transaction costs.  Transactions with dealers serving as primary market
makers  reflect  the  spread  between  the bid and asked  prices.  Purchases  of
underwritten  issues may be made that will include an  underwriting  fee paid to
the underwriter. Portfolio transactions in debt securities may also be placed on
an agency basis, with a commission being charged.

When it can be done consistently with the policy of obtaining the most favorable
net  results,   it  is  the  Manager's   practice  to  place  such  orders  with
broker-dealers  who supply research,  market and statistical  information to the
Fund. The term "research market and statistical  information" includes advice as
to the value of  securities;  the  advisability  of investing in,  purchasing or
selling  securities;  the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of
securities; and analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities,
economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy and the performance of accounts.
The Manager is not authorized when placing  portfolio  transactions for the Fund
to pay a brokerage commission (to the extent applicable) in excess of that which
another broker might charge for executing the same transaction solely on account
of the receipt of research, market or statistical information.  The Manager does
not place orders with brokers or dealers because the broker or dealer has or has
not sold  shares of the Fund.  In  effecting  transactions  in  over-the-counter
securities,  orders are placed with the principal market makers for the security
being traded  unless,  after  exercising  care,  it appears that more  favorable
results are available elsewhere.

Although   certain   research,   market   and   statistical   information   from
broker-dealers  may be useful to the Fund and to the Manager,  it is the opinion
of the Manager that such  information  only  supplements its own research effort
since the  information  must still be  analyzed,  weighed  and  reviewed  by the
Manager's  staff.  Such  information  may be useful to the Manager in  providing
services to clients other than the Fund and not all such  information is used by
the Manager in connection with the Fund.  Conversely,  such information provided
to the  Manager by  broker-dealers  through  whom other  clients of the  Manager
effect  securities  transactions  may be  useful  to the  Manager  in  providing
services to the Fund.

The Trustees of the Trust review from time to time whether the recapture for the
benefit of the Fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees
paid by the Fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable.

NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value of shares of the Fund is computed as of the close of regular
trading on the New York Stock  Exchange  (currently  4:00 p.m.  Eastern Time) on
each day the  Exchange is open for  trading.  The  Exchange is  scheduled  to be
closed on the following  holidays:  New Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King,  Jr.
Day,  Presidents' Day, Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving  and Christmas,  and on the preceding  Friday or subsequent  Monday
when one of these  holidays  falls on a Saturday  or Sunday,  respectively.  Net
asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the total assets of
the Fund, less all liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding.

Securities  traded on a national  securities  exchange or on the NASDAQ National
Market System are valued at the last  reported sale price that day.  Lacking any
sales, the security is valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid
quotation and the most recent asked  quotation (the  "Calculated  Mean") on such
exchange.  An exchange  traded  option or futures  contract and other  financial
instruments  are  valued  at the last  reported  sale  price  prior to 4:00 p.m.
(Eastern  Time) as quoted on the  principal  exchange or board of trade on which
such  option or contract  is traded.  Lacking  any sales,  the option or futures
contract is valued at the Calculated Mean.

Debt  securities,  other than  short-term  securities,  are valued at bid prices
supplied by the Fund's  pricing  agent(s) which reflect  broker/dealer  supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less shall be valued by the amortized cost
method, which the Board believes approximates market value.

If, in the opinion of the Fund's Valuation  Committee,  the value of a portfolio
asset as determined in accordance  with these  procedures does not represent the
fair market value of the portfolio  asset,  the value of the portfolio  asset is
taken  to be an  amount  which,  in  the  opinion  of the  Valuation  Committee,
represents  fair market  value on the basis of all  available  information.  The
value of other  portfolio  holdings  owned by the Fund is determined in a manner
which,  in the discretion of the Valuation  Committee most fairly  reflects fair
market value of the property on the valuation date.

                                   APPENDIX A

           DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP ("S&P") AND
              MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. ("MOODY'S") CORPORATE
                        BOND AND COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

[From "Moody's Bond Record," November 1994 Issue (Moody's Investors Service, New
York,  1994), and "Standard & Poor's Municipal Ratings  Handbook,"  October 1997
Issue (McGraw Hill, New York, 1997).]

MOODY'S:

         (a) CORPORATE  BONDS.  Bonds rated Aaa by Moody's are judged by Moody's
to be of the best  quality,  carrying the smallest  degree of  investment  risk.
Interest  payments are protected by a large or  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.  Bonds rated Aa are judged by Moody's to be of
high quality by all  standards.  Aa bonds are rated lower than Aaa bonds because
margins of protection may not be as large as those of Aaa bonds, or fluctuations
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
those  applicable to Aaa securities.  Bonds which are rated A by Moody's 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.  Bonds rated Baa by Moody's are considered
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. Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative
elements; their future cannot be considered  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.  Bonds which are rated B generally
lack  characteristics  of the  desirable  investment.  Assurance of interest and
principal  payments of or  maintenance  of other terms of the contract  over any
long  period  of time  may be  small.  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. Bonds which are rated Ca represent
obligations  which are  speculative  in a high degree.  Such issues are often in
default  or have  other  marked  shortcomings.  Bonds  which are rated C are the
lowest  rated  class of bonds  and  issues so rated  can be  regarded  as having
extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

         (b) COMMERCIAL PAPER. The Prime rating is the highest  commercial paper
rating assigned by Moody's. Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning
ratings are the following:  (1) evaluation of the management of the issuer;  (2)
economic  evaluation of the issuer's  industry or industries and an appraisal of
speculative-type risks which may be inherent in certain areas; (3) evaluation of
the issuer's  products in relation to competition and customer  acceptance;  (4)
liquidity;  (5) amount and quality of long-term debt; (6) trend of earnings over
a period of ten  years;  (7)  financial  strength  of a parent  company  and the
relationships  which exist with the issuer; and (8) recognition by management of
obligations  which may be  present  or may arise as a result of public  interest
questions and preparations to meet such  obligations.  Issuers within this Prime
category may be given ratings 1, 2 or 3, depending on the relative  strengths of
these  factors.  The  designation  of  Prime-1  indicates  the  highest  quality
repayment capacity of the rated issue.  Issuers rated Prime-2 are deemed to have
a strong ability for repayment while issuers voted Prime-3 are deemed to have an
acceptable ability for repayment. Issuers rated Not Prime do not fall within any
of the Prime rating categories.

S&P:

         (a)  CORPORATE  BONDS.  An  S&P  corporate  debt  rating  is a  current
assessment  of the  creditworthiness  of an obligor  with  respect to a specific
obligation. The ratings are based on current information furnished by the issuer
or  obtained  by S&P from  other  sources it  considers  reliable.  The  ratings
described  below may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show
relative standing within the major rating categories.

         Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P.  Capacity to pay
interest and repay principal is extremely strong. Debt rated AA is judged by S&P
to have a very strong  capacity to pay interest and repay  principal and differs
from the highest  rated issues only in small  degree.  Debt rated A by S&P has a
strong  capacity to pay  interest and repay  principal,  although it is somewhat
more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

         Debt rated BBB by S&P is regarded by S&P as having an adequate capacity
to pay  interest  and repay  principal.  Although  such bonds  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 than debt in higher rated categories.

         Debt rated BB, B, CCC,  CC and C is  regarded  as having  predominately
speculative  characteristics  with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal. BB indicates the least degree of speculation and C the highest. While
such debt will likely have some quality and  protective  characteristics,  these
are outweighed by large uncertainties or exposures to adverse  conditions.  Debt
rated BB has less  near-term  vulnerability  to default  than other  speculative
issues.  However,  it faces major ongoing  uncertainties  or exposure to adverse
business,  financial  or  economic  conditions  which  could lead to  inadequate
capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.  The BB rating category
is also used for debt  subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
implied BBB-  rating.  Debt rated B has a greater  vulnerability  to default but
currently has the capacity to meet interest  payments and principal  repayments.
Adverse business,  financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity
or willingness  to pay interest and repay  principal.  The B rating  category is
also used for debt  subordinated  to senior  debt that is  assigned an actual or
implied  BB  or  BB-  rating.  Debt  rated  CCC  has  a  currently  identifiable
vulnerability to default,  and is dependent upon favorable business,  financial,
and economic  conditions  to meet timely  payment of interest  and  repayment of
principal.  In the event of adverse business,  financial or economic conditions,
it is not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay  principal.  The
CCC rating  category is also used for debt  subordinated  to senior debt that is
assigned an actual or implied B or B- rating. The rating CC typically is applied
to debt  subordinated  to senior debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC
debt rating.  The rating C typically is applied to debt  subordinated  to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt  rating.  The C rating may
be used to cover a situation  where a bankruptcy  petition  has been filed,  but
debt service payments are continued.

         The rating CI is  reserved  for income  bonds on which no  interest  is
being paid.  Debt rated D is in payment  default.  The D rating category is used
when interest payments or principal  payments are not made on the date due, even
if the  applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless S&P believes that such
payments will be made during such grace  period.  The D rating also will be used
upon  the  filing  of  a  bankruptcy  petition  if  debt  service  payments  are
jeopardized.

         (b)  COMMERCIAL  PAPER.  An S&P  commercial  paper  rating is a current
assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of debt considered  short-term in
the relevant market.

         The  commercial  paper rating A-1 by S&P  indicates  that the degree of
safety  regarding timely payment is strong.  Those issues  determined to possess
extremely  strong  safety  characteristics  are  denoted  with a plus  sign  (+)
designation.  For commercial  paper with an A-2 rating,  the capacity for timely
payment on issues is satisfactory, but not as high as for issues designated A-1.
Issues  rated  A-3 have  adequate  capacity  for  timely  payment,  but are more
vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in  circumstances  than obligations
carrying higher designations.

         Issues  rated B are  regarded as having only  speculative  capacity for
timely payment.  The C rating is assigned to short-term debt  obligations with a
doubtful capacity for payment.  Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating
category is used when  interest  payments or principal  payments are not made on
the date due, even if the  applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless S&P
believes such payments will be made during such grace period.

               INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, RESTRICTIONS AND TECHNIQUES

Investment Objective

The Fund is a  diversified  series of The Weiss Fund,  an  open-end,  management
investment  company.  The  investment  objective  of the Fund is to seek capital
appreciation. The investment objective of the Fund is not fundamental and may be
changed by the Trustees without shareholder approval. There is no assurance that
the Fund will achieve its objective.

Investments

The Fund's  investment  policies and techniques are summarized in the Prospectus
and set forth in greater  detail  below.  Unless  otherwise  stated,  the Fund's
policies are not fundamental.

The Fund pursues its  objective by investing  primarily in a portfolio of equity
securities,  such  as  common  stocks,  and  engaging  in  short  sales  of such
securities.  The Fund employs a "long-short"  approach.  With this approach, the
Fund will seek to purchase stocks of companies  that, in the Manager's  opinion,
have (1) strong or improving  fundamentals,  (2) lower  vulnerability to adverse
factors  such as Year 2000 ("Y2K")  related  problems or  deflation,  and/or (3)
operate  in sectors of the market  that show  accelerating  momentum  and strong
relative strength.  At the same time, the Fund will seek to sell short stocks of
issuers which the Manager believes have (1) weak or deteriorating  fundamentals,
(2) greater  vulnerability to adverse factors,  and/or (3) operate in sectors of
the market that show decelerating momentum and weak relative strength.  Although
the Manager  expects that the Fund's  "long"  equity  positions  will  generally
outweigh its "short" equity positions,  the Fund is not restricted in the amount
of its assets that it may commit to short sales.  At times the Fund's assets may
be concentrated in the securities of issuers within the same industry.

Investments  may be made in  well-known,  established  companies,  as well as in
newer and relatively unseasoned  companies.  Individual security selection aided
by computer  technology is an important part of the Fund's investment  approach.
The Fund's  sub-advisor,  Harvest  Advisors,  Inc.  ("Harvest  Advisors"  or the
"Sub-Adviser"),  utilizes a risk  management  system  based upon a  quantitative
model  that  is a  combination  of  momentum,  price  behavior,  and  volatility
indicators.  The  objective of this model is to identify  those periods when the
stock market is vulnerable. This model is used to adjust the level of the Fund's
equity  exposure,  ranging from fully  invested,  neutral,  or short.  Potential
investments of the Fund are also evaluated using fundamental  analysis including
criteria such as earnings  outlook,  cash flow, asset values,  sustainability of
product  cycles,  expansion  opportunities,  management  capabilities,  industry
outlook,  competitive position, and current price relative to long-term value of
the  company.  The Fund  also  employs a  relative  strength  ranking  system to
identify the strongest and weakest sectors of the stock market.

Under  normal  circumstances,  it is  expected  that at least 65% of the  Fund's
portfolio  will be invested  in equity  securities,  comprised  of both long and
short positions.  The Manager anticipates that a portion of the Fund's portfolio
will be allocated,  in both long and short positions,  to stocks selected by the
Manager based primarily upon fundamental analysis,  with a buy and hold strategy
in mind. In addition,  another part of the Fund's portfolio will be comprised of
both long and short  positions in stocks selected by the Manager based upon such
criteria as fundamental momentum and relative value,  invested with a short-term
investment  strategy driven  primarily by sector  analysis.  The Manager expects
that approximately 20% of the Fund's portfolio will, under normal conditions, be
invested in fixed-income securities, cash and cash equivalents. Depending on the
Manager's  perception  of  market  conditions,   these  percentages  may  differ
substantially at various times.

The following describes the Manager's investment approach in greater detail.

Analysis:

o........Fundamental  analysis:  Companies are  evaluated for their  fundamental
     ability  to  withstand,   or  even  take  advantage  of,  adverse  economic
     conditions,  such as the Y2K computer problem (considered paramount factors
     in the  years  1999 and  2000) as well as global  deflation  or a  domestic
     recession.  Factors such as cash flow, asset values,  competitive position,
     current price and industry outlook may also be considered. A Strongest List
     and a Weakest List are produced based on this analysis.

o........Sector  analysis: A proprietary computer model evaluates various market
     sectors to aid the  Manager  in  selecting  for  purchase  securities  from
     sectors of the economy that are showing  strength or,  conversely,  selling
     stocks short in sectors that are showing weakness.
 .........
o........Market  trend  analysis:  Based  on  a  proprietary  model,  a  bullish
     (indicating  a rising  market) or  bearish  (indicating  a falling  market)
     signal is generated.


Security Selection:

o........A Buy Candidates  List is created  containing  stocks in sectors ranked
high.

o........A  Short-Sale  Candidates List is created with stocks in sectors ranked
low.

Portfolio Structure:

The Fund's assets will normally be invested as set forth below. Depending on the
Manager's  perception  of  market  conditions,   these  percentages  may  differ
substantially at various times.

o    Approximately  30% of the Fund's  portfolio be allocated to core  positions
     (positions the Manager intends to hold for a while). The Manager intends to
     split  these  between  (a)  long  positions  in  stocks  selected  from the
     Strongest List and (b) short  positions in stocks selected from the Weakest
     List.

o    Approximately 50% of the Fund's portfolio will normally consist of actively
     traded equity  positions.  In a bullish market,  trading  positions will be
     primarily  allocated  to long  positions  in stocks  selected  from the Buy
     Candidates  List. In a bearish  market,  this portion of the portfolio will
     consist  primarily of short equity  positions in stocks  selected  from the
     Short-Sale Candidates List.


o    Approximately  20% of  the  Fund's  portfolio  will  be  invested  in  debt
     securities  of  corporate  issuers,   including   convertible   securities,
     commercial  paper and zero  coupon  bonds,  and debt  securities  issued or
     guaranteed   by  the  United   States   government   and  its  agencies  or
     instrumentalities.  In a  neutral  market  or for  temporary  defensive  or
     emergency purposes, the Fund's exposure to these types of securities may be
     increased significantly.

The Fund  may,  but is not  required  to,  effect  transactions  in  options  on
securities  and stock indices and options on stock index  futures  contracts for
hedging purposes.

As a result of the investment techniques used by the Fund, the Fund expects that
a  significant  portion  (up to  100%)  of its  assets  will be  held in  liquid
securities in a segregated account as "cover" for the investment  techniques the
Fund  employs.  These  assets  may  not  be  sold  while  the  position  in  the
corresponding  instrument or  transaction  (e.g.,  option or short sale) is open
unless they are replaced by similar  assets.  As a result,  the  commitment of a
large portion of the Fund's assets to "cover" investment techniques could impede
portfolio  management or the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests or other
current obligations.

Descriptions  in this SAI of a  particular  investment  practice or technique in
which the Fund may engage  (such as short  selling or  hedging)  or a  financial
instrument  which the Fund may purchase  (such as options) are meant to describe
the spectrum of investments that the Manager,  in its discretion,  might, but is
not required to, use in managing the Fund's portfolio  assets.  The Manager may,
in its discretion, at any time employ such practice, technique or instrument for
one or more  funds  but not for all  funds  advised  by it.  Furthermore,  it is
possible that certain types of financial  instruments  or investment  techniques
described  herein may not be available,  permissible,  economically  feasible or
effective  for  their  intended  purposes  in all  markets.  Certain  practices,
techniques,  or instruments may not be principal  activities of the Fund but, to
the  extent  employed,  could  from time to time have a  material  impact on the
Fund's performance.

Concentration

The Fund may  "concentrate," as that term used in the Investment  Company Act of
1940,  as  amended  (the "1940  Act"),  its  assets in  securities  related to a
particular  industry,  which  means  that at least  25% of its  assets  would be
invested in the securities of issuers within the same industry. As a result, the
Fund  may be  subject  to  greater  market  fluctuation  than a fund  which  has
securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives.

Common Stocks

Common stock can be issued by  companies to raise cash;  all common stock shares
represent a  proportionate  ownership  interest in a company.  As a result,  the
value of common stock rises and falls with a company's  success or failure.  The
market value of common stock can fluctuate significantly, with smaller companies
being  particularly  susceptible to price swings.  Transaction  costs in smaller
company stocks may also be higher than those of larger companies.

Short Sales

The Fund may seek to realize additional gains or hedge investments through short
sales.  Short sales are  transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does
not own in  anticipation  of a decline in the market value of that security.  To
complete such a transaction,  the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery
to the buyer.  The Fund then is obligated  to replace the  security  borrowed by
purchasing  it at the market price at or prior to the time of  replacement.  The
price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the  security was
sold by the Fund. Until the security is replaced,  the Fund is required to repay
the lender any  dividends or interest that accrue during the period of the loan.
To borrow the  security,  the Fund also may be required to pay a premium,  which
would increase the cost of the security sold. The net proceeds of the short sale
will be retained by the broker (or by the Fund's  custodian in a special custody
account),  to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements,  until the short
position is closed out. The Fund also will incur  transaction costs in effecting
short sales.

The Fund will  incur a loss as a result  of the  short  sale if the price of the
security  increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the
Fund  replaces  the  borrowed  security.  The Fund  will  realize  a gain if the
security  declines in price between those dates.  The amount of any gain will be
decreased,  and the amount of any loss increased,  by the amount of the premium,
dividends,  interest or expenses  the Fund may be required to pay in  connection
with a short sale. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to close
out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.

Convertible Securities

The convertible securities in which the Fund may invest include corporate bonds,
notes, debentures, preferred stock and other securities that may be converted or
exchanged at a stated or determinable  exchange ratio into underlying  shares of
common stock.  Investments in convertible  securities can provide income through
interest  and  dividend   payments  as  well  as  an  opportunity   for  capital
appreciation  by  virtue  of their  conversion  or  exchange  features.  Because
convertible  securities  can be converted into equity  securities,  their values
will  normally  vary in some  proportion  with  those of the  underlying  equity
securities.  Convertible  securities  usually  provide a higher  yield  than the
underlying equity,  however, so that the price decline of a convertible security
may sometimes be less substantial  than that of the underlying  equity security.
The exchange ratio for any particular  convertible security may be adjusted from
time  to  time  due to  stock  splits,  dividends,  spin-offs,  other  corporate
distributions  or scheduled  changes in the  exchange  ratio.  Convertible  debt
securities and  convertible  preferred  stocks,  until  converted,  have general
characteristics similar to both debt and equity securities. Although to a lesser
extent than with debt  securities  generally,  the market  value of  convertible
securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to
increase as interest  rates decline.  In addition,  because of the conversion or
exchange feature,  the market value of convertible  securities typically changes
as the market value of the underlying common stock changes, and, therefore, also
tends to follow movements in the general market for equity securities.  When the
market  price  of  the  underlying  common  stock  increases,  the  price  of  a
convertible  security  tends  to  rise  as a  reflection  of  the  value  of the
underlying  common  stock,  although  typically  not as much as the price of the
underlying  common  stock.  While no  securities  investments  are without risk,
investments  in  convertible   securities   generally   entail  less  risk  than
investments in common stock of the same issuer.

As debt  securities,  convertible  securities are investments that provide for a
stream of income. Like all debt securities,  there can be no assurance of income
or principal  payments  because the issuers of the  convertible  securities  may
default on their  obligations (see following  section).  Convertible  securities
generally offer lower yields than non-convertible  securities of similar quality
because of their conversion or exchange features.

Convertible   securities   generally  are  subordinated  to  other  similar  but
non-convertible  securities of the same issuer,  although  convertible bonds, as
corporate  debt  obligations,  are  senior  in right of  payment  to all  equity
securities,  and  convertible  preferred stock is senior to common stock, of the
same  issuer.  However,   convertible  bonds  and  convertible  preferred  stock
typically  have lower  coupon  rates than  similar  non-convertible  securities.
Convertible  securities  may be  issued  as fixed  income  obligations  that pay
current income.

Debt Securities

In General. Investment in debt securities involves both interest rate and credit
risk.  Generally,  the value of debt instruments  rises and falls inversely with
fluctuations  in interest  rates.  As interest rates decline,  the value of debt
securities generally increases.  Conversely, rising interest rates tend to cause
the value of debt securities to decrease. Bonds with longer maturities generally
are more volatile than bonds with shorter  maturities.  The market value of debt
securities  also varies  according  to the relative  financial  condition of the
issuer. In general, lower-quality bonds offer higher yields due to the increased
risk that the  issuer  will be unable to meet its  obligations  on  interest  or
principal payments at the time called for by the debt instrument.

Investment-Grade  Debt  Securities.  The Fund may invest in debt securities that
are  given  an  investment-grade  rating  by  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.
("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's  Ratings Group ("S&P"),  and may also invest in
unrated debt  securities  that are considered by the Manager to be of comparable
quality.  Bonds rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by S&P are judged to be of the best
quality  (i.e.,  capacity  to pay  interest  and repay  principal  is  extremely
strong).  Bonds rated Aa/AA are considered to be of high quality (i.e., capacity
to pay interest and repay  principal is very strong and differs from the highest
rated  issues only to a small  degree).  Bonds rated A are viewed as having many
favorable  investment  attributes,  but  elements  may be present that suggest a
susceptibility  to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances  and economic
conditions than debt in higher rated categories. Bonds rated Baa/BBB (considered
by Moody's to be "medium grade"  obligations) are considered to have an adequate
capacity to pay interest and repay principal,  but certain  protective  elements
may be lacking (i.e., such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and
have some  speculative  characteristics).  See Appendix A for a  description  of
these ratings.

Commercial Paper.  Commercial paper represents  short-term  unsecured promissory
notes issued in bearer form by bank holding companies,  corporations and finance
companies.  The Fund may invest in  commercial  paper  that is rated  Prime-1 by
Moody's or A-1 by S&P or, if not rated by Moody's or S&P, is issued by companies
having an outstanding debt issue rated Aaa or Aa by Moody's or AAA or AA by S&P.

 U.S. Treasury Securities. The Fund may invest in direct obligations of the U.S.
 Treasury (e.g.,  Treasury bills,  notes,  and bonds).  When such securities are
 held to  maturity,  the payment of principal  and  interest is  unconditionally
 guaranteed  by the U.S.  Government,  and  therefore  they  are of the  highest
 possible credit quality. U.S. Treasury securities that are not held to maturity
 are subject to  variations in market value caused by  fluctuations  in interest
 rates.

Zero  Coupon  Securities.  The Fund may invest in zero coupon  securities.  Zero
coupon bonds are issued and traded at a discount from their face value.  They do
not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity.

Current  federal  income tax law requires  holders of zero coupon  securities to
report the  portion of any  original  issue  discount  on such  securities  that
accrues during a given year as interest income,  even though the holders receive
no cash  payments  of  interest  during  the  year.  In  order to  qualify  as a
"regulated  investment  company"  under the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended (the "Code"), and the regulations  thereunder,  the Fund must distribute
its investment  company  taxable  income,  including any original issue discount
accrued on zero coupon bonds. Because the Fund will not receive cash payments on
a current  basis in respect of any  accrued  original  issue  discount  on these
bonds,  in some years the Fund may have to  distribute  cash obtained from other
sources in order to satisfy the  distribution  requirements  under the Code. The
Fund might obtain such cash from selling other  portfolio  holdings  which might
cause the Fund to incur capital gains or losses on the sale. Additionally, these
actions  are  likely  to  reduce  the  assets to which  Fund  expenses  could be
allocated and to reduce the rate of return for the Fund. In some  circumstances,
such sales might be necessary in order to satisfy cash distribution requirements
even though  investment  considerations  might otherwise make it undesirable for
the Fund to sell the securities at the time.

Generally,  the market prices of zero coupon  securities  are more volatile than
the prices of  securities  that pay  interest  periodically  and in cash and are
likely to respond to changes in  interest  rates to a greater  degree than other
types of debt securities having similar maturities and credit quality.

When-Issued  Securities.  When the Fund  purchases new issues of securities on a
when-issued  basis, the Fund's custodian will establish a segregated account for
the Fund consisting of cash, U.S.  Treasury  securities or other high-grade debt
securities equal to the amount of the commitment.  If the value of securities in
the account should decline,  additional cash or securities will be placed in the
account so that the market  value of the  account  will equal the amount of such
commitments by the Fund on a daily basis.

Securities  purchased  on a  when-issued  basis and the  securities  held in the
Fund's  portfolio  are  subject to changes in market  value  based upon  various
factors including changes in the level of market interest rates. Generally,  the
value of such securities  will fluctuate  inversely to changes in interest rates
(i.e.,  they will  appreciate  in value when market  interest  rates decline and
decrease in value when market  interest  rates rise).  For this reason,  placing
securities  rather than cash in the  segregated  account  may have a  leveraging
effect on the Fund's net  assets.  In other  words,  to the extent that the Fund
remains  substantially fully invested in securities at the same time that it has
committed to purchase  securities on a when-issued  basis, there will be greater
fluctuations  in its net assets  than if it had set aside  cash to  satisfy  its
purchase commitment. Upon the settlement date of the when-issued securities, the
Fund  ordinarily  will meet its  obligation  to  purchase  the  securities  from
available cash flow, use of the cash (or liquidation of securities)  held in the
segregated  account or sale of other securities.  Although it would not normally
expect  to do so,  the Fund  also may meet its  obligation  from the sale of the
when-issued securities themselves (which may have a current market value greater
or less than the Fund's payment obligation). The sale of securities to meet such
obligations  carries with it a greater  potential for the realization of capital
gains.

Warrants

The Fund may invest up to 5% of its total  assets in  warrants.  The holder of a
warrant has the right, until the warrant expires,  to purchase a given number of
shares of a particular issuer at a specified price. Such investments can provide
a greater  potential  for profit or loss than an  equivalent  investment  in the
underlying  security.  However,  prices of warrants do not necessarily move in a
tandem  with  the  prices  of the  underlying  securities  and  are,  therefore,
considered  speculative  investments.  Warrants pay no  dividends  and confer no
rights other than a purchase  option.  Thus,  if a warrant held by the Fund were
not  exercised  by the date of its  expiration,  the Fund  would lose the entire
purchase price of the warrant.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may enter into  repurchase  agreements  with selected  brokers-dealers,
banks or other financial institutions.  A repurchase agreement is an arrangement
under which the purchaser (i.e., the Fund) purchases a U.S.  Government or other
high quality  short-term debt obligation (an "Obligation") and the seller agrees
at the time of sale to repurchase the Obligation at a specified time and price.

Custody  of the  Obligation  will be  maintained  by the Fund's  custodian.  The
repurchase  price may be higher than the purchase  price,  the difference  being
income to the applicable Fund, or the purchase and repurchase  prices may be the
same,  with  interest  at a  stated  rate  due to the  Fund  together  with  the
repurchase  price on  repurchase.  In  either  case,  the  income to the Fund is
unrelated  to the  interest  rate on the  Obligation  subject to the  repurchase
agreement.

Repurchase  agreements pose certain risks for all entities,  including the Fund,
that  utilize  them.  Such risks are not unique to the Fund but are  inherent in
repurchase  agreements.  The Fund seeks to minimize such risks by, among others,
the means  indicated  below,  but because of the  inherent  legal  uncertainties
involved in repurchase agreements, such risks cannot be eliminated.

For purposes of the 1940 Act, a repurchase agreement is deemed to be a loan from
the Fund to the  seller of the  Obligation.  It is not clear  whether  for other
purposes a court would consider the Obligation  purchased by the Fund subject to
a repurchase  agreement as being owned by the Fund or as being  collateral for a
loan by the Fund to the seller.

If in the event of bankruptcy or  insolvency  proceedings  against the seller of
the Obligation,  a court holds that the Fund does not have a perfected  security
interest in the Obligation, the Fund may be required to return the Obligation to
the seller's estate and be treated as an unsecured creditor of the seller. As an
unsecured  creditor,  the  Fund  would be at risk of  losing  some or all of the
principal and income  involved in the  transaction.  To minimize this risk,  the
Fund utilizes  custodians and  subcustodians  that the Manager  believes  follow
customary  securities  industry practice with respect to repurchase  agreements,
and the Manager analyzes the  creditworthiness  of the obligor, in this case the
seller of the  Obligation.  But because of the legal  uncertainties,  this risk,
like others associated with repurchase agreements, cannot be eliminated.

Also, in the event of commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency  proceedings with
respect to the seller of the  Obligation  before  repurchase  of the  Obligation
under a  repurchase  agreement,  the Fund may  encounter  delay and incur  costs
before  being  able to sell  the  security.  Such a delay  may  involve  loss of
interest or a decline in price of the Obligation.

Apart from risks associated with bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings,  there is
also the risk that the seller may fail to repurchase the security.  However,  if
the market value of the Obligation  subject to the repurchase  agreement becomes
less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest), the applicable Fund
will direct the seller of the  Obligation  to deliver  additional  securities so
that the market  value of all  securities  subject to the  repurchase  agreement
equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

Certain  repurchase  agreements  which provide for settlement in more than seven
days can be  liquidated  before the  nominal  fixed term on seven  days' or less
notice. Such repurchase agreements will be regarded as illiquid instruments. The
Fund  currently  intends to limit its  investments  in repurchase  agreements to
those with maturities of less than seven days.

The Fund  may also  enter  into  repurchase  agreements  with any  party  deemed
creditworthy  by the Manager,  including  broker-dealers,  if the transaction is
entered into for investment purposes and the counterparty's  creditworthiness is
at least equal to that of issuers of securities which the Fund may purchase.

Other Investment Companies

 When the Fund invests in another mutual fund, it pays a pro rata portion of the
advisory  fees and other  expenses of that fund as a  shareholder  of that fund.
These  expenses are in addition to the advisory and other expenses the Fund pays
in connection with its own operations.

Options

The Fund may, but is not required to,  purchase and sell put and call options on
its portfolio  securities to protect against changes in market prices.  There is
no  assurance  that the  Fund's use of put and call  options  will  achieve  its
desired  objective,  and the Fund's  use of options  may result in losses to the
Fund.

Covered Call Options.  The Fund may write covered call options as a limited form
of hedging against a decline in the price of securities owned by the Fund.

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 securities.

In return for the premium  received  when it writes a covered call  option,  the
Fund 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 Fund  retains the risk of loss should the price of such  securities
decline.  If the option expires  unexercised,  the Fund 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 Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to
the  difference  between the Fund's  cost for the  underlying  security  and the
proceeds  of sale  (exercise  price  minus  commissions)  plus the amount of the
premium.

The Fund may  terminate a call  option that it has written  before it expires by
entering into a closing  purchase  transaction.  The Fund 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 Fund.

Covered Put Options. The Fund may write covered put options as a limited form of
hedging  against an increase in the price of  securities  that the Fund 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 Fund also receives interest
on the cash and debt  securities  maintained to cover the exercise  price of the
option.  By  writing  a put  option,  the Fund  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.

The Fund 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.

Although  it has no  current  intention  of doing  so,  the Fund may also  write
covered put and call options to attempt to enhance its current return.

Purchasing  Put and Call  Options.  The Fund 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  Fund,  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 Fund must
pay. These costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it sold
the underlying security instead of buying the put option.

The Fund may purchase  call options to hedge against an increase in the price of
securities  that the Fund wants  ultimately  to buy.  Such hedge  protection  is
provided  during the life of the call  option  since the Fund,  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 Fund might have
realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call
option.

Although it has no current intention of doing so, the Fund may also purchase put
and call options to attempt to enhance its current return.

Risks  Involved in the Sale of Options.  Options  transactions  involve  certain
risks,  including the risks that the Manager will not forecast  interest rate or
market  movements  correctly,  that the Fund 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 the  Manager 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,  the Fund 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 the
Manager 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 Fund'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 the  Manager  may be  considered  such a group.  These  position  limits  may
restrict  the  Fund'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 may also restrict the Fund's use of options.

Futures Contracts

Index Futures Contracts and Options.  The Fund may buy and sell options on stock
index  futures  contracts for hedging  purposes.  The Fund may also buy and sell
stock  index  futures  contracts  to the extent  necessary  to close out an open
futures  option.  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 (the "S&P 100 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 the Fund 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 Fund will gain
$400 (100 units x gain of $4).  If the Fund  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 Fund will lose
$200 (100 units x loss of $2).

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 its  investments  successfully  using  futures  contracts  and
related  options,  the Fund 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 Fund's securities.

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,  the Fund 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."

The Fund may purchase or sell options on stock indices in order to close out its
outstanding  positions in options on stock indices which it has  purchased.  The
Fund 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 Fund 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.

Although it does not currently  intend to do so, the Fund may buy and sell stock
index futures  contracts and related  options to attempt to increase  investment
return, provided that the aggregate initial margins and premiums involved do not
exceed 5% of the fair market value of the Fund's total assets.

Margin  Payments.  When the Fund  purchases or sells a futures  contract,  it is
required to deposit with its 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 Fund upon  termination  of the contract,  assuming the Fund 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 the Fund sells a futures contract and the price of the underlying
index rises above the delivery price, the Fund's position declines in value. The
Fund then pays the broker a variation  margin  payment  equal to the  difference
between the  delivery  price of the futures  contract and the value of the index
underlying  the futures  contract.  Conversely,  if the price of the  underlying
index  falls  below the  delivery  price of the  contract,  the  Fund'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 value of the index underlying the futures contract.

When the Fund terminates a position in a futures contract, a final determination
of variation margin is made,  additional cash is paid by or to the Fund, and the
Fund 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 Fund  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 Fund 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.

The ability to establish and close out positions in options on futures contracts
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 Fund  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 no such market exists for particular  options, it might not be possible to
effect closing transactions in such options, with the result that the Fund would
have to exercise the options in order to realize any profit.

Hedging Risks. There are several risks in connection with the use by the Fund 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 Fund's  securities which are the subject
of a hedge. The Manager 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 Fund's portfolio securities sought to be hedged.

Successful use of futures contracts and options by the Fund for hedging purposes
is also subject to the Manager's ability to predict  correctly  movements in the
direction of the market.  It is possible that, where the Fund 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
Fund 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 the Manager
still may not result in a successful hedging  transaction over a very short time
period.

Other Risks. The Fund 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 the Fund 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 Fund
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 Fund may be exposed to risk of loss.

Temporary Defensive Strategies

At times,  the Fund's Manager may judge that economic or market  conditions make
pursuing  the  Fund's  basic  investment  strategy  inconsistent  with  the best
interests of its  shareholders.  At such times,  the Manager may temporarily use
alternative strategies,  primarily designed to reduce fluctuations in the values
of the Fund's assets. In implementing these "defensive strategies", the Fund may
invest in cash or cash equivalents, shares of money market investment companies,
commercial paper, zero coupon bonds, repurchase agreements, and other securities
its Manager believes to be consistent with the Fund's best interests.

Investment Restrictions

The Fund has elected to be  classified  as a  diversified  series of an open-end
investment  company.  In  addition,  the Fund is subject to certain  fundamental
policies and restrictions that may not be changed without shareholder  approval.
Shareholder  approval  means  approval by the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the
outstanding  voting  securities of the Trust (or a particular series if a matter
affects just that series),  or (ii) 67% or more of the voting securities present
at a  meeting  if the  holders  of  more  than  50% of  the  outstanding  voting
securities of the Trust (or a particular  series) are present or  represented by
proxy. As a matter of fundamental policy, the Fund may not:

(1)               borrow  money,  except as permitted  under the 1940 Act and as
                  interpreted  or  modified  by  regulatory   authority   having
                  jurisdiction, from time to time;

(2)               issue senior  securities,  except as permitted  under the 1940
                  Act and as  interpreted  or modified by  regulatory  authority
                  having jurisdiction, from time to time;

(3)               engage in the business of  underwriting  securities  issued by
                  others, except to the extent that the Fund may be deemed to be
                  an underwriter in connection with the disposition of portfolio
                  securities;

(4)               purchase  or sell real  estate,  which  term does not  include
                  securities of companies which deal in real estate or mortgages
                  or  investments  secured by real estate or interests  therein,
                  except that the Fund reserves freedom of action to hold and to
                  sell real estate acquired as a result of the Fund's  ownership
                  of securities;

 (5)  purchase   physical   commodities   or  contracts   relating  to  physical
 commodities; or

(6)               make  loans  except  as  permitted  under  the 1940 Act and as
                  interpreted  or  modified  by  regulatory   authority   having
                  jurisdiction, from time to time.
         Nonfundamental policies may be changed by the Trustees of the Trust and
         without shareholder approval. As a matter of nonfundamental policy, the
         Fund does not currently intend to:

         borrow   money in an amount greater than one-third of its total assets,
                  except (i) for  temporary  or  emergency  purposes and (ii) by
                  engaging in reverse  repurchase  agreements,  dollar rolls, or
                  other  investments  or  transactions  described  in the Fund's
                  registration statement which may be deemed to be borrowings;

 (2) enter into either of reverse  repurchase  agreements  or dollar rolls in an
 amount greater than 5% of its total assets;

(3)               purchase  securities on margin,  except (i) in connection with
                  arbitrage transactions, (ii) for margin deposits in connection
                  with  short  sales,   futures  contracts,   options  or  other
                  permitted investments, and (iii) that the Fund may obtain such
                  short-term  credits as may be necessary  for the  clearance of
                  securities transactions;

(4)               purchase  options,  unless the aggregate  premiums paid on all
                  such options held by the Fund at any time do not exceed 20% of
                  its total  assets;  or sell put options,  if as a result,  the
                  aggregate value of the obligations underlying such put options
                  would exceed 50% of its total assets;

(5)               enter into futures  contracts or purchase  options thereon for
                  other than bona fide hedging purposes unless immediately after
                  the purchase,  the value of the aggregate  initial margin with
                  respect to such  futures  contracts  entered into on behalf of
                  the Fund and the  premiums  paid for such  options  on futures
                  contracts  does not exceed 5% of the fair market  value of the
                  Fund's total  assets;  provided  that in the case of an option
                  that is in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money
                  amount may be excluded in computing the 5% limit;

(6)               purchase  warrants if as a result,  such securities,  taken at
                  the lower of cost or market value,  would  represent more than
                  5% of the value of the Fund's total assets (for this  purpose,
                  warrants  acquired in units or attached to securities  will be
                  deemed to have no value); and

(7) lend  portfolio  securities in an amount greater than one-third of its total
assets.

Whenever  an  investment  objective,  policy  or  restriction  set  forth in the
Prospectus  or  this  Statement  of  Additional  Information  states  a  maximum
percentage  of assets  that may be  invested  in any  security or other asset or
describes a policy regarding quality  standards,  such percentage  limitation or
standard shall, unless otherwise indicated, apply to the Fund only at the time a
transaction is entered into. Accordingly,  if a percentage limitation is adhered
to at the time of  investment,  a later  increase or decrease in the  percentage
which results from  circumstances  not involving any  affirmative  action by the
Fund,  such as a change in market  conditions  or a change in the  Fund's  asset
level or other circumstances beyond the Fund's control, will not be considered a
violation.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FUND

The Fund is a  diversified  series of The Weiss  Fund,  an  open-end  management
investment  company  registered  under the 1940 Act. The Trust was  organized on
August 10, 1995 as a Massachusetts  business trust under the name Weiss Treasury
Fund.  The Trust's name was changed in April 1999.  The Board of Trustees of the
Trust  oversees  the  business  affairs  of the  Trust  and is  responsible  for
significant  decisions relating to the Fund's investment objective and policies.
The Trustees  delegate the day-to-day  management of the Fund to the officers of
the Trust.

The Trust's  authorized  capital  consists of an  unlimited  number of shares of
beneficial  interest,  $.01 par  value,  all of which  have  equal  rights as to
voting, dividends and liquidation.  The Trustees have the authority to issue two
or more series of shares and to designate the relative rights and preferences as
between the different series. The Trustees,  in their discretion,  may authorize
the division of shares of a series into different classes,  permitting shares of
different classes to be distributed by different methods.  Although shareholders
of different classes of a series would have an interest in the same portfolio of
assets,  shareholders  of  different  classes  may bear  different  expenses  in
connection with different methods of distribution.  The Trustees have authorized
the  establishment and designation of two classes of shares of the Fund, Class A
and Class S shares.  This SAI relates to the Fund's  Class S shares.  All shares
issued and outstanding will be fully paid and  non-assessable  by the Trust, and
redeemable as described in this Statement of Additional  Information  and in the
Prospectus.

On  February  23,  1995,  the SEC adopted  Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act,  which
permits a registered  open-end  investment  company to issue multiple classes of
shares in accordance  with a written plan approved by the  investment  company's
board of  directors/trustees  and filed with the SEC. At a meeting held on April
__,  1999,  the Board  adopted a Rule 18f-3 plan on behalf of the Fund.  The key
features of the Rule 18f-3 plan are as follows: shares of each class of the Fund
represent an equal pro rata  interest in the Fund and generally  have  identical
voting,  dividend,   liquidation,   and  other  rights,   preferences,   powers,
restrictions,  limitations,  qualifications,  terms and conditions,  except that
each class bears certain class-specific  expenses and has separate voting rights
on certain matters that relate solely to that class or in which the interests of
shareholders  of one class differ from the interests of  shareholders of another
class.

The  assets of the Trust  received  for the issue or sale of the  shares of each
series  (or class  thereof)  and all  income,  earnings,  profits  and  proceeds
thereof,  subject only to the rights of creditors, are specifically allocated to
such series (or class  thereof) and  constitute  the  underlying  assets of such
series (or class).  The underlying  assets of each series (or class thereof) are
segregated on the books of account,  and are to be charged with the  liabilities
in respect to such  series  (or  class)  and with a  proportionate  share of the
general  liabilities  of  the  Trust.  If a  series  were  unable  to  meet  its
obligations,  the  assets  of all  other  series  may in some  circumstances  be
available to creditors for that purpose,  in which case the assets of such other
series  could  be used to meet  liabilities  which  are not  otherwise  properly
chargeable  to them.  Expenses  with respect to any two or more series are to be
allocated in proportion to the asset value of the respective series except where
allocations of direct expenses can otherwise be fairly made. The officers of the
Trust,  subject to the general  supervision  of the Trustees,  have the power to
determine  which  liabilities  are  allocable  to a given  series,  or which are
general or allocable to two or more series.  In the event of the  dissolution or
liquidation of the Trust or any series,  the holders of the shares of any series
are  entitled  to  receive  as a class  the  underlying  assets  of such  shares
available for distribution to shareholders.

Shares of each class of each series of the Trust  entitle  their  holders to one
vote per  share;  however,  separate  votes are taken by each  series on matters
affecting an  individual  series.  Generally,  all classes of shares of a series
will vote together,  except with respect to a distribution  plan applicable to a
class of that  series or when a class vote is required by the 1940 Act. A change
in  investment  policy for a series  would,  for example,  be voted upon only by
shareholders of the series  involved.  Additionally,  approval of the investment
advisory  agreement  is a matter to be  determined  separately  by each  series.
Approval  by the  shareholders  of one  series is  effective  as to that  series
whether or not enough  votes are  received  from the  shareholders  of the other
series to approve such agreement as to the other series.

The Declaration of Trust provides that  obligations of the Trust are not binding
upon the Trustees individually but only upon the property of the Trust, that the
Trustees and  officers  will not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of
fact or law, and 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 provided 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.  However,  nothing in the  Declaration  of Trust
protects or  indemnifies a Trustee or officer  against any liability to which he
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.

The Fund is not  required  to and  does  not  currently  intend  to hold  annual
shareholder meetings,  although special meetings may be called for purposes such
as electing or removing Trustees,  changing fundamental  investment policies, or
approving certain contracts. Shareholders will be assisted in communicating with
other  shareholders in connection with removing a Trustee as if Section 16(c) of
the 1940 Act were applicable.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES

Investment Manager

As stated in the Prospectus,  the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into
an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, Weiss Money Management,  Inc.
Under  the  Advisory  Agreement,  the  Manager  provides  continuing  investment
management  for the  Fund  consistent  with  the  Fund's  investment  objective,
policies and  restrictions and determines what securities shall be purchased for
or sold by the Fund.  The Manager is controlled  (as that term is defined in the
1940 Act) by Martin D. Weiss, its sole director and shareholder.

The Fund has agreed to  compensate  the Manager for its  services by the monthly
payment of a fee at the annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's average net assets.

The Manager is  responsible  for fees and  expenses of  Trustees,  officers  and
employees  of the  Trust  who are  affiliated  with  the  Manager.  The  Fund is
responsible for all of its other expenses,  including fees and expenses incurred
in connection  with  membership in investment  company  organizations;  brokers'
commissions; payments for portfolio pricing services to a pricing agent, if any;
legal,  auditing and accounting expenses;  taxes and governmental fees; transfer
agent fees;  the cost of preparing  share  certificates  or other  share-related
expenses, such as expenses of issuance, sale, redemption or repurchase of shares
of beneficial  interest;  the expenses of and fees for registering or qualifying
securities for sale;  the fees and expenses of Trustees,  officers and employees
of the Trust who are not affiliated  with the Manager;  the cost of printing and
distributing reports and notices to shareholders; and the fees and disbursements
of custodians. The Fund is also responsible for expenses of shareholder meetings
and expenses  incurred in connection with litigation  proceedings and claims and
the legal  obligation  it may have to indemnify  its officers and Trustees  with
respect thereto.

Sub-Adviser

Harvest Advisors,  Inc., 11612 Bee Cave Road, Suite 110, Austin, Texas 78733 has
been retained by the Manager to provide sub-advisory services to the Fund. Under
its agreement with the Manager,  the Sub-Adviser  renders continuous  investment
advice to the Manager with respect to investment and  reinvestment of the Fund's
assets  in  various  securities,  based  upon  computer  models  constructed  in
accordance  with the Fund's  investment  objective  and policies;  however,  the
Manager,  in  the  exercise  of  its  independent  judgment,   retains  ultimate
discretion  regarding and  responsibility for the implementation of transactions
in seeking to achieve the Fund's  objective.  The Manager pays the Sub-Adviser a
fee at the  annual  rate of [ ]% of the  Fund's  average  net  assets out of the
investment  advisory  fees  it  receives  from  the  Fund.  The  Sub-Adviser  is
controlled  (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) by Anthony L. Sagami,  its
sole shareholder and officer.

Distributor

The Fund's shares are sold on a  continuous,  best efforts basis by Weiss Funds,
Inc. (the "Distributor"),  4176 Burns Road, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410, a
registered broker-dealer and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager.

Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan

The Trust has adopted on behalf of the Fund, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act, a Rule 12b-1  distribution  plan  pertaining to the Fund's Class S
shares (the  "Plan").  In  adopting  the Plan,  a majority of the  "independent"
Trustees have concluded in accordance  with the  requirements of Rule 12b-1 that
there is a  reasonable  likelihood  that the Plan will  benefit the Fund and its
shareholders.  The Trustees of the Trust  believe that the Plan should result in
greater  sales and/or fewer  redemptions  of the Fund's  shares,  although it is
impossible to know for certain the level of sales and  redemptions of the Fund's
shares  in  the  absence  of the  Plan  or  under  an  alternative  distribution
arrangement.

Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor a fee relating to the distribution
and/or service of the Fund's Class S shares,  accrued daily and paid monthly, at
the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets  attributable  to those
Class S shares.  The  Distributor may reallow to dealers all or a portion of the
service and  distribution  fees as the  Distributor  may determine  from time to
time. The fee compensates  the  Distributor for expenses  incurred in connection
with activities  primarily  intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Class S
shares  and/or for account  maintenance  and personal  service to  shareholders,
including,  but not limited to, compensation to broker-dealers that have entered
into a dealer and/or  shareholder or administrative  services agreement with the
Distributor;  compensation  to and expenses of employees of the  Distributor who
engage in or support distribution and/or shareholder servicing of a Fund's Class
S shares; compensation to banks, investment advisers, financial institutions and
other  entities   (including  the  Distributor  itself)  for  rendering  certain
shareholder liaison and/or administrative services; telephone expenses; interest
expenses;   printing  of  prospectuses  and  reports  for  other  than  existing
shareholders;  preparation,  printing and  distribution of sales  literature and
advertising  materials;  and profit on the  foregoing.  Pursuant  to the Class S
Plan, the Distributor may include interest, carrying or other finance charges in
its  calculation  of  distribution  expenses,  if not  prohibited  from doing so
pursuant to an order of or a regulation adopted by the SEC.

Among other things,  the Plan provides that (1) the  Distributor  will submit to
the Board at least  quarterly,  and the Trustees  will review,  written  reports
regarding  all amounts  expended  under the Plan and the purposes for which such
expenditures  were made;  (2) the Plan will  continue  in effect only so long as
such  continuance  is approved at least  annually,  and any  material  amendment
thereto is  approved  by the votes of a majority  of the  Board,  including  the
"independent" Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for that purpose; (3)
payments by the Fund under the Plan shall not be  materially  increased  without
the affirmative  vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding  shares of
Class S of the Fund;  and (4) while the Plan is in  effect,  the  selection  and
nomination of "independent" Trustees shall be committed to the discretion of the
Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust.

The Plan may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty,  by vote
of a majority  of the  "independent"  Trustees,  or by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of Class S of the Fund.

Administrator

PFPC Inc.,  Bellevue Park Corporate Center,  103 Bellevue  Parkway,  Wilmington,
Delaware 19809 ("PFPC"), performs various administrative and accounting services
for  the  Fund.  These  services  include  maintenance  of  books  and  records,
preparation  of  certain   governmental  filings  and  shareholder  reports  and
computation   of  net  asset   values  and  dividend   distributions.   For  its
administrative  services,  PFPC receives a fee, payable  monthly,  at the annual
rate of .09% per annum of the  average  daily net  assets of the Fund,  plus any
out-of-pocket expenses.

Transfer Agent, Dividend Disbursing Agent and Custodian

PFPC  serves  as the  Fund's  transfer  agent,  dividend  disbursing  agent  and
registrar.

PFPC Trust Company, 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,  Delaware 19899, serves as
custodian for the Fund's portfolio securities and cash.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

From time to time,  quotations  of the Fund's  performance  may be  included  in
advertisements,  sales  literature  or reports to  shareholders  or  prospective
investors.  Performance information will be calculated separately for each class
of the Fund.  Different  fees and  expenses  applicable  to each of the classes,
including  Rule  12b-1  fees  applicable  to Class S  shares,  will  affect  the
performance  of those  classes.  The  performance  figures are calculated in the
following manners:

Average Annual Total Return

Average  annual total return is the average  annual  compound rate of return for
periods of one year, five years,  and ten years,  all ended on the last day of a
recent calendar quarter.  Average annual total return quotations reflect changes
in the price of the Fund's  shares and assume  that all  dividends  and  capital
gains distributions  during the respective periods were reinvested in additional
shares of the same class of the Fund.  Average  annual  total return for Class S
shares is calculated by finding the average annual compound rates of return of a
hypothetical  investment  over such periods  according to the following  formula
(average annual total return is then expressed as a percentage):

                           T = (ERV/P)1/n - 1
         Where:

         P        =       a hypothetical  initial  investment of $1,000.  
         T        =       average annualtotal return.
         n        =        number of years.
         ERV      =        ending redeemable value:
                           ERV  is the  value,  at  the  end  of the  applicable
                           period,  of a hypothetical  $1,000 investment made at
                           the beginning of the applicable period.

The  Fund  may,  from  time to  time,  include  in  advertisements,  promotional
literature or reports to shareholders or prospective investors total return data
that  are  not   calculated   according   to  the   formula   set  forth   above
("Non-Standardized Return").

Cumulative Total Return

Cumulative  total  return is the  cumulative  rate of  return on a  hypothetical
initial  investment of $1,000 for a specified  period.  Cumulative  total return
quotations reflect changes in the price of the Fund's shares and assume that all
dividends and capital gains  distributions  during the period were reinvested in
additional  shares of the same class of the Fund.  Cumulative  total  return for
Class S shares is  calculated  by finding  the  cumulative  rates of return of a
hypothetical  investment  over such periods  according to the following  formula
(cumulative total return is then expressed as a percentage):

                           C = (ERV/P) - 1
         Where:

         C        =        Cumulative Total Return.
         P        =        a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000.
         ERV      =        ending redeemable value:
                           ERV  is the  value,  at  the  end  of the  applicable
                           period,  of a hypothetical  $1,000 investment made at
                           the beginning of the applicable period.

Total Return

Total Return is the rate of return on an  investment  for a specified  period of
time calculated in the same manner as cumulative total return.  The total return
percentage  reflects  voluntary  fee waivers and expense  reimbursements  by the
Fund's service providers.

Capital Change

Capital change measures the return from invested  capital  including  reinvested
capital gains distributions. Capital change does not include the reinvestment of
income dividends.

Comparison of Portfolio Performance

A  comparison  of  the  quoted  non-standard  performance  offered  for  various
investments is valid only if performance is calculated in the same manner. Since
there  are  different  methods  of  calculating  performance,  investors  should
consider the effects of the methods used to calculate performance when comparing
performance of the Fund with performance quoted with respect to other investment
companies or types of investments.

In connection  with  communicating  its  performance  to current or  prospective
shareholders,  the Fund also may compare  these  figures to the  performance  of
unmanaged  indices  which may assume  reinvestment  of dividends or interest but
generally do not reflect  deductions for  administrative  and management  costs.
Examples include,  but are not limited to the Dow Jones Industrial Average,  the
Consumer  Price Index,  Standard & Poor's 500  Composite  Stock Price Index (S&P
500), the NASDAQ OTC Composite Index, the NASDAQ  Industrials Index, the Russell
2000 Index, and the statistics published by the Small Business Administration.

From  time  to  time,  in  advertising  and  marketing  literature,  the  Fund's
performance  may be compared to the  performance of broad groups of mutual funds
with similar investment goals, as tracked by independent  organizations such as,
Investment  Company  Data,  Inc.  ("ICD"),   Lipper  Analytical  Services,  Inc.
("Lipper"), CDA Investment Technologies,  Inc. ("CDA"), Morningstar, Inc., Value
Line  Mutual  Fund  Survey  and  other  independent  organizations.  When  these
organizations'  tracking  results  are used,  the Fund will be  compared  to the
appropriate fund category, that is, by fund objective and portfolio holdings, or
to the  appropriate  volatility  grouping,  where  volatility  is a measure of a
fund's risk.

From time to time, in marketing and other Fund literature, Trustees and officers
of the  Fund,  the  Fund's  portfolio  manager,  or  members  of  the  portfolio
management  team may be  depicted  and quoted to give  prospective  and  current
shareholders  a better sense of the outlook and approach of those who manage the
Fund. In addition,  the assets that the Manager has under  management in various
geographical areas may be quoted in advertising and marketing materials.

Statistical  and  other   information,   as  provided  by  the  Social  Security
Administration,  may be used in marketing  materials  pertaining  to  retirement
planning in order to estimate future payouts of social security benefits.
Estimates may be used on demographic and economic data.

Marketing and other Fund  literature  may include a description of the potential
risks and rewards associated with an investment in the Fund. The description may
include a "risk/return spectrum" which compares the Fund to other Weiss funds or
broad categories of funds, such as money market,  bond or equity funds, in terms
of potential  risks and  returns.  Money market funds are designed to maintain a
constant $1.00 share price and have a fluctuating  yield. Share price, yield and
total  return of a bond fund will  fluctuate.  The share  price and return of an
equity fund also will  fluctuate.  The  description may also compare the Fund to
bank  products,   such  as  certificates   of  deposit.   Unlike  mutual  funds,
certificates of deposit are insured up to $100,000 by the U.S.
Government and offer a fixed rate of return.

Because bank products  guarantee the principal  value of an investment and money
market funds seek stability of principal, these investments are considered to be
less risky than  investments  in either bond or equity funds,  which may involve
the loss of principal. However, all long-term investments, including investments
in bank products, may be subject to inflation risk, which is the risk of erosion
of the value of an  investment as prices  increase over a long time period.  The
risk/returns  associated  with an  investment  in bond or equity funds also will
depend upon currency exchange fluctuation.

A risk/return spectrum generally will position the various investment categories
in the following order: bank products, money market funds, bond funds and equity
funds. Shorter-term bond funds generally are considered less risky and offer the
potential  for less return  than  longer-term  bond  funds.  The same is true of
domestic bond funds relative to  international  bond funds,  and bond funds that
purchase  higher quality  securities  relative to bond funds that purchase lower
quality securities.  Growth and income equity funds are generally  considered to
be less risky and offer the  potential  for less return than  growth  funds.  In
addition,  international  equity funds  usually are  considered  more risky than
domestic equity funds but generally offer the potential for greater return.

Risk/return  spectrums  also may depict  funds that invest in both  domestic and
foreign securities or a combination of bond and equity securities.

Evaluation of Fund performance  made by independent  sources may also be used in
advertisements  concerning the Fund,  including reprints of, or selections from,
editorials or articles about the Fund.

BUYING SHARES

Share  purchases  are  executed at the net asset value next  calculated  after a
purchase  order is  received  by the  Fund's  transfer  agent  in good  order as
described in the Prospectus  under "Buying  Shares."  Purchases are made in full
and fractional shares.

Broker-dealers  or institutions  may assess  additional  transaction  charges in
connection with purchases of Fund shares.

REDEMPTIONS

The Trust may  suspend  the  right of  redemption  of shares of the Fund and may
postpone  payment:  (i) for any period during which the New York Stock  Exchange
(the "Exchange") is closed,  other than customary  weekend and holiday closings,
or  during  which  trading  on the  Exchange  is  restricted,  (ii) when the SEC
determines  that a state of emergency  exists which may make payment or transfer
not  reasonably  practicable,  (iii)  as the SEC  may by  order  permit  for the
protection of the  Shareholders of the Trust, or (iv) at any other time when the
Trust  may,  under  applicable  laws and  regulations,  suspend  payment  on the
redemption of its shares.

The Trust agrees to redeem shares of the Fund solely in cash up to the lesser of
$250,000 or 1% of the net asset  value of the Fund during any 90-day  period for
any one  shareholder.  The Trust  reserves  the right to pay other  redemptions,
either total or partial,  by a  distribution  in kind of securities  (instead of
cash) from the Fund's portfolio,  although the Trust has no current intention to
do so. The securities  distributed in such a distribution would be valued at the
same value as that  assigned to them in  calculating  the net asset value of the
shares being redeemed.  If a shareholder  receives a distribution in kind, he or
she  should  expect  to incur  transaction  costs  when he or she  converts  the
securities to cash.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund intends to  distribute  to  shareholders  substantially  all of its net
investment  income annually.  Net investment income for the Fund consists of all
income accrued on the Fund's assets,  less all actual and accrued expenses.  The
Fund intends to  distribute  to  shareholders  net realized  capital gains after
utilization of capital loss carryforwards, if any, at least annually.

Distributions  by the Fund are  reinvested in  additional  shares of the Fund or
paid in cash at the  election of the  shareholder.  If no election is made,  all
distributions  will be reinvested in additional Fund shares. If an investment is
in the form of a retirement plan, all dividends and capital gains  distributions
must be reinvested into the shareholder's  account.  Distributions are generally
taxable, whether received in cash or reinvested.
Exchanges among the Weiss funds are also taxable events.

TAXES

The  following  is a general  discussion  of  certain  tax rules  thought  to be
applicable  with  respect  to the Fund.  It is  merely a  summary  and is not an
exhaustive   discussion  of  all  possible  situations  or  of  all  potentially
applicable taxes. Accordingly,  shareholders and prospective shareholders should
consult a competent tax adviser about the tax  consequences to them of investing
in the Fund.

General.  The Fund  intends  to  qualify  annually  and elect to be treated as a
regulated  investment  company under  Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify,  the
Fund must,  among other things,  (a) derive in each taxable year 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,  or other income  (including  but not limited to gains from options,
futures,  and  forward  contracts)  derived  with  respect  to its  business  of
investing  in such  stock,  securities  or  currencies;  and (b)  diversify  its
holdings  so that,  at the end of each fiscal  quarter,  (i) at least 50% of the
market  value of the  Fund's  assets is  represented  by cash,  U.S.  Government
securities,  the securities of other regulated investment  companies,  and other
securities, with such other securities of any one issuer limited for purposes of
this  calculation  to an amount not greater than 5% of the Fund's assets and 10%
of the outstanding  voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25%
of the value of its total assets is invested in  securities  of any other issuer
(other than U.S.  Government  securities and the  securities of other  regulated
investment companies).

As a regulated  investment  company,  the Fund  generally will not be subject to
U.S.  Federal  income  tax on  its  investment  company  taxable  income  (which
includes,  among other items,  dividends,  interest and net  short-term  capital
gains in excess of net  long-term  capital  losses) and net  capital  gains (net
long-term  capital  gains in excess of net  short-term  capital  losses) that it
distributes to shareholders,  if at least 90% of its investment  company taxable
income for the taxable year is distributed.  The Fund intends to distribute such
income.

Amounts not  distributed  on a timely basis in  accordance  with a calendar year
distribution  requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax. To avoid
that tax, the Fund must distribute  during each calendar year an amount equal to
(1) at least 98% of its  ordinary  income (not  taking into  account any capital
gains or losses) for the calendar year, (2) at least 98% of its capital gains in
excess of its capital  losses  (adjusted  for certain  ordinary  losses) for the
twelve-month  period  ending on October  31 of the  calendar  year,  and (3) all
ordinary  income and capital gains for previous years that were not  distributed
during such years. A distribution  will be treated as paid on December 31 of the
current  calendar  year if it is declared  by the Fund in  October,  November or
December of that year to shareholders of record at some date in such a month and
paid  by  the  Fund  during  January  of  the  following   calendar  year.  Such
distributions  will be taken into account by  shareholders  in the calendar year
the  distributions  are  declared,  rather than the  calendar  year in which the
distributions are received.

Distributions. Distributions of investment company taxable income are taxable to
a U.S.  shareholder  as  ordinary  income,  whether  paid  in  cash  or  shares.
Distributions of net capital gains, if any, which are designated as capital gain
dividends are taxable to shareholders as long-term  capital gains,  whether paid
in cash or in shares,  and regardless of how long the  shareholder  has held the
Fund's shares.  Such  distributions are not eligible for the dividends  received
deduction.  The tax treatment of distributions from the Fund is the same whether
the  dividends  are  received  in cash  or in  additional  shares.  Shareholders
receiving  distributions  in the form of newly  issued  shares  will have a cost
basis in each share received equal to the net asset value of a share of the Fund
on the  reinvestment  date. A distribution  of an amount in excess of the Fund's
current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated by a shareholder as
a return of capital which is applied against and reduces the shareholder's basis
in his or her  shares.  To the extent  that the amount of any such  distribution
exceeds the shareholder's basis in his or her shares, the excess will be treated
by the  shareholder as gain from a sale or exchange of the shares.  Shareholders
will be notified annually as to the U.S. Federal tax status of distributions and
shareholders  receiving  distributions  in the form of newly issued  shares will
receive a report as to the net asset value of the shares received.

If shares of the Fund are held in a tax-deferred retirement plan account, income
and gain will not be taxable each year. Instead,  the taxable portion of amounts
held in a  retirement  plan account  generally  will be subject to tax only when
distributed from that account,  and all of those taxable amounts will be taxable
as ordinary income.

If the net asset  value of shares is  reduced  below a  shareholder's  cost as a
result of a distribution  by the Fund,  such  distribution  will be taxable even
though it represents a return of invested  capital.  Investors should be careful
to consider the tax  implications of buying shares just prior to a distribution.
The  price of  shares  purchased  at this  time may  reflect  the  amount of the
forthcoming  distribution.  Those  purchasing just prior to a distribution  will
receive a distribution which will nevertheless be taxable to them.

Disposition of Shares. Upon a redemption, sale or exchange of his or her shares,
a  shareholder  will  realize a taxable gain or loss  depending  upon his or her
basis in the shares.  Such gain or loss will be treated as capital  gain or loss
if the shares are capital assets in the shareholder's  hands and, if so, will be
long-term or short-term, depending upon the shareholder's holding period for the
shares.  Any loss realized on a redemption,  sale or exchange will be disallowed
to  the  extent  the  shares  disposed  of  are  replaced   (including   through
reinvestment  of dividends)  within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before
and ending 30 days after the shares are disposed  of. In such a case,  the basis
of the shares acquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. Any loss
realized by a shareholder on the sale of Fund shares held by the shareholder for
six months or less will be treated as a long-term  capital loss to the extent of
any  distributions  of net  capital  gains  received  or treated as having  been
received by the shareholder with respect to such shares.

Discount.  Certain  of the bonds  purchased  by the Fund may be treated as bonds
that were originally  issued at a discount.  Original issue discount  represents
interest for Federal  income tax  purposes  and can  generally be defined as the
difference  between  the price at which a  security  was  issued  and its stated
redemption  price at maturity.  Original  issue  discount is treated for Federal
income tax  purposes as income  earned by the Fund even though the Fund  doesn't
actually  receive  any  cash,  and  therefore  is  subject  to the  distribution
requirements  of the Code.  The amount of income earned by the Fund generally is
determined on the basis of a constant yield to maturity which takes into account
the semiannual compounding of accrued interest.

In addition,  some of the bonds may be purchased by the Fund at a discount which
exceeds the  original  issue  discount on such bonds,  if any.  This  additional
discount  represents  market discount for Federal income tax purposes.  The gain
realized on the  disposition of any bond having market  discount will be treated
as ordinary  income to the extent it does not exceed the accrued market discount
on such bond (unless the Fund elects for all its debt securities  acquired after
the first day of the first taxable year to which the election  applies  having a
fixed  maturity  date of more  than one year  from the date of issue to  include
market discount in income in tax years to which it is attributable).  Generally,
market  discount  accrues on a daily  basis for each day the bond is held by the
Fund at a constant rate over the time remaining to the bond's maturity.

Hedging  Transactions.  The  taxation  of equity  options  and  over-the-counter
options on debt  securities is governed by Code section  1234.  Pursuant to Code
section 1234, the premium  received by the Fund for selling a put or call option
is not  included in income at the time of receipt.  If the option  expires,  the
premium  is  short-term  capital  gain to the Fund.  If the Fund  enters  into a
closing  transaction,  the  difference  between the amount paid to close out its
position and the premium received is short-term  capital gain or loss. If a call
option written by the Fund is exercised,  thereby requiring the Fund to sell the
underlying security, the premium will increase the amount realized upon the sale
of such security and any resulting  gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss,
and will be long-term or  short-term  depending  upon the holding  period of the
security. With respect to a put or call option that is purchased by the Fund, if
the option is sold,  any resulting  gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss,
and will be long-term or  short-term,  depending  upon the holding period of the
option.  If the option  expires,  the  resulting  loss is a capital  loss and is
long-term or short-term, depending upon the holding period of the option. If the
option is exercised,  the cost of the option,  in the case of a call option,  is
added to the basis of the  purchased  security and, in the case of a put option,
reduces the amount  realized on the underlying  security in determining  gain or
loss.

Certain options and futures  contracts in which the Fund may invest are "section
1256  contracts."  Gains or losses  on  section  1256  contracts  generally  are
considered  60% long-term  and 40%  short-term  capital  gains or losses.  Also,
section  1256  contracts  held by the Fund at the end of each taxable year (and,
generally,  for  purposes  of the 4% excise tax, on October 31 of each year) are
"marked-to-market" (that is, treated as sold at fair market value), resulting in
unrealized gains or losses being treated as though they were realized.

Generally,  the  hedging  transactions  undertaken  by the  Fund may  result  in
"straddles" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  The straddle rules may affect
the  character of gains (or losses)  realized by the Fund.  In addition,  losses
realized by the Fund on  positions  that are part of a straddle  may be deferred
under the straddle  rules,  rather than being taken into account in  calculating
the  taxable  income for the  taxable  year in which the  losses  are  realized.
Because  only a few  regulations  implementing  the  straddle  rules  have  been
promulgated,   the  tax   consequences  to  the  Fund  of  engaging  in  hedging
transactions  are not  entirely  clear.  Hedging  transactions  may increase the
amount  of  short-term  capital  gain  realized  by the  Fund  which is taxed as
ordinary income when distributed to shareholders.

The Fund may make one or more of the  elections  available  under the Code which
are applicable to straddles. If the Fund makes any of the elections, the amount,
character  and timing of the  recognition  of gains or losses from the  affected
straddle  positions  will be determined  under rules that vary  according to the
election(s)  made.  The rules  applicable  under  certain of the  elections  may
operate to  accelerate  the  recognition  of gains or losses  from the  affected
straddle positions.

Because the straddle  rules may affect the  character of gains or losses,  defer
losses and/or  accelerate  the  recognition of gains or losses from the affected
straddle  positions,  the amount which may be distributed to  shareholders,  and
which will be taxed to them as ordinary income or long-term capital gain, may be
increased or decreased as compared to a fund that did not engage in such hedging
transactions.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Fund may recognize gain
(but not  loss)  from a  constructive  sale of  certain  "appreciated  financial
positions" if the Fund enters into a short sale,  offsetting  notional principal
contract  or  forward  contract  transaction  with  respect  to the  appreciated
position or substantially  identical property.  Appreciated  financial positions
subject to this constructive sale treatment are interests (including options and
forward  contracts  and short sales) in stock,  partnership  interests,  certain
actively  traded trust  instruments and certain debt  instruments.  Constructive
sale  treatment  does not apply to  certain  transactions  closed in the  90-day
period  ending with the 30th day after the close of the taxable year, if certain
conditions are met.

Unless certain  constructive  sale rules (discussed more fully above) apply, the
Fund will not realize gain or loss on a short sale of a security until it closes
the transaction by delivering the borrowed  security to the lender.  Pursuant to
Code Section 1233, all or a portion of any gain arising from a short sale may be
treated as short-term capital gain,  regardless of the period for which the Fund
held the security used to close the short sale. In addition,  the Fund's holding
period of any security  which is  substantially  identical to that which is sold
short  may be  reduced  or  eliminated  as a result of the  short  sale.  Recent
legislation,  however,  alters this  treatment by treating  certain  short sales
against the box and other  transactions as a constructive sale of the underlying
security held by the Fund,  thereby  requiring  current  recognition of gain, as
described more fully above.  Similarly,  if the Fund enters into a short sale of
property that becomes substantially  worthless,  the Fund will recognize gain at
that time as though it had closed the short sale.  Future  Treasury  regulations
may apply similar treatment to other  transactions with respect to property that
becomes substantially worthless.

Backup Withholding. The Fund generally will be required to report to the IRS all
distributions  as well as gross  proceeds  from  the  redemption  of the  Fund's
shares,   except  in  the  case  of  certain  exempt   shareholders.   All  such
distributions  and proceeds will be subject to withholding of Federal income tax
at a rate of 31% ("backup  withholding") in the case of non-exempt  shareholders
if (1) the  shareholder  fails to  furnish  the Fund  with  and to  certify  the
shareholder's correct taxpayer  identification number or social security number;
(2) the IRS notifies the shareholder or the Fund that the shareholder has failed
to  report  properly  certain  interest  and  dividend  income to the IRS and to
respond  to  notices  to  that  effect;  or (3)  when  required  to do  so,  the
shareholder  fails  to  certify  that  he  or  she  is  not  subject  to  backup
withholding.   If  the   withholding   provisions  are   applicable,   any  such
distributions or proceeds,  whether  reinvested in additional shares or taken in
cash, will be reduced by the amounts required to be withheld.

Other Taxation. The foregoing discussion relates only to U.S. Federal income tax
law as  applicable  to U.S.  persons  (i.e.,  U.S.  citizens and  residents  and
domestic corporations,  partnerships,  trusts and estates). Distributions by the
Fund also may be subject to state and local  taxes,  and their  treatment  under
state and local  income tax laws may  differ  from the U.S.  Federal  income tax
treatment. In many states, Fund distributions which are derived from interest on
certain U.S.  Government  obligations  are exempt from state and local taxation.
Shareholders  should  consult  their tax  advisers  with  respect to  particular
questions of U.S.  Federal,  state and local taxation.  Shareholders who are not
U.S.  persons should  consult their tax advisers  regarding U.S. and foreign tax
consequences  of ownership of shares of the Fund,  including the likelihood that
distributions to them would be subject to withholding of U.S. Federal income tax
at a rate of 30% (or at a lower rate under a tax treaty).

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION

To the  maximum  extent  feasible,  the  Manager  places  orders  for  portfolio
transactions  through the Distributor,  which in turn places orders on behalf of
the Fund with other  broker-dealers.  The  Distributor  receives no commissions,
fees or  other  remuneration  from the Fund  for  this  service.  Allocation  of
brokerage is supervised by the Manager.

The primary objective of the Manager in placing orders for the purchase and sale
of  securities  for the Fund's  portfolio  is to obtain the most  favorable  net
results taking into account such factors as price, commission (negotiable in the
case of U.S. national securities exchange  transactions) where applicable,  size
of  order,   difficulty  of  execution  and  skill  required  of  the  executing
broker-dealer.  The Manager  seeks to evaluate  the  overall  reasonableness  of
brokerage commissions paid (to the extent applicable) through the familiarity of
the Distributor with commissions charged on comparable transactions,  as well as
by  comparing  commissions  paid by the  Fund to  reported  commissions  paid by
others.  The Manager reviews on a routine basis commission rates,  execution and
settlement services performed, making internal and external comparisons.

The Fund's  purchases and sales of fixed-income  securities are generally placed
by the Manager with primary  market makers for these  securities on a net basis,
without any brokerage  commission being paid by the Fund. Trading does, however,
involve  transaction costs.  Transactions with dealers serving as primary market
makers  reflect  the  spread  between  the bid and asked  prices.  Purchases  of
underwritten  issues may be made that will include an  underwriting  fee paid to
the underwriter. Portfolio transactions in debt securities may also be placed on
an agency basis, with a commission being charged.

When it can be done consistently with the policy of obtaining the most favorable
net  results,   it  is  the  Manager's   practice  to  place  such  orders  with
broker-dealers  who supply research,  market and statistical  information to the
Fund. The term "research market and statistical  information" includes advice as
to the value of  securities;  the  advisability  of investing in,  purchasing or
selling  securities;  the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of
securities; and analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities,
economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy and the performance of accounts.
The Manager is not authorized when placing  portfolio  transactions for the Fund
to pay a brokerage commission (to the extent applicable) in excess of that which
another broker might charge for executing the same transaction solely on account
of the receipt of research, market or statistical information.  The Manager does
not place orders with brokers or dealers because the broker or dealer has or has
not sold  shares of the Fund.  In  effecting  transactions  in  over-the-counter
securities,  orders are placed with the principal market makers for the security
being traded  unless,  after  exercising  care,  it appears that more  favorable
results are available elsewhere.

Although   certain   research,   market   and   statistical   information   from
broker-dealers  may be useful to the Fund and to the Manager,  it is the opinion
of the Manager that such  information  only  supplements its own research effort
since the  information  must still be  analyzed,  weighed  and  reviewed  by the
Manager's  staff.  Such  information  may be useful to the Manager in  providing
services to clients other than the Fund and not all such  information is used by
the Manager in connection with the Fund.  Conversely,  such information provided
to the  Manager by  broker-dealers  through  whom other  clients of the  Manager
effect  securities  transactions  may be  useful  to the  Manager  in  providing
services to the Fund.

The Trustees of the Trust review from time to time whether the recapture for the
benefit of the Fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees
paid by the Fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable.

NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value of shares of the Fund is computed as of the close of regular
trading on the New York Stock  Exchange  (currently  4:00 p.m.  Eastern Time) on
each day the  Exchange is open for  trading.  The  Exchange is  scheduled  to be
closed on the following  holidays:  New Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King,  Jr.
Day,  Presidents' Day, Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving  and Christmas,  and on the preceding  Friday or subsequent  Monday
when one of these  holidays  falls on a Saturday  or Sunday,  respectively.  Net
asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the total assets of
the Fund, less all liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding.

Securities  traded on a national  securities  exchange or on the NASDAQ National
Market System are valued at the last  reported sale price that day.  Lacking any
sales, the security is valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid
quotation and the most recent asked  quotation (the  "Calculated  Mean") on such
exchange.  An exchange  traded  option or futures  contract and other  financial
instruments  are  valued  at the last  reported  sale  price  prior to 4:00 p.m.
(Eastern  Time) as quoted on the  principal  exchange or board of trade on which
such  option or contract  is traded.  Lacking  any sales,  the option or futures
contract is valued at the Calculated Mean.

Debt  securities,  other than  short-term  securities,  are valued at bid prices
supplied by the Fund's  pricing  agent(s) which reflect  broker/dealer  supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less shall be valued by the amortized cost
method, which the Board believes approximates market value.

If, in the opinion of the Fund's Valuation  Committee,  the value of a portfolio
asset as determined in accordance  with these  procedures does not represent the
fair market value of the portfolio  asset,  the value of the portfolio  asset is
taken  to be an  amount  which,  in  the  opinion  of the  Valuation  Committee,
represents  fair market  value on the basis of all  available  information.  The
value of other  portfolio  holdings  owned by the Fund is determined in a manner
which,  in the discretion of the Valuation  Committee most fairly  reflects fair
market value of the property on the valuation date.

                                   APPENDIX A

           DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP ("S&P") AND
              MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. ("MOODY'S") CORPORATE
                        BOND AND COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

[From "Moody's Bond Record," November 1994 Issue (Moody's Investors Service, New
York,  1994), and "Standard & Poor's Municipal Ratings  Handbook,"  October 1997
Issue (McGraw Hill, New York, 1997).]

MOODY'S:

         (a) CORPORATE  BONDS.  Bonds rated Aaa by Moody's are judged by Moody's
to be of the best  quality,  carrying the smallest  degree of  investment  risk.
Interest  payments are protected by a large or  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.  Bonds rated Aa are judged by Moody's to be of
high quality by all  standards.  Aa bonds are rated lower than Aaa bonds because
margins of protection may not be as large as those of Aaa bonds, or fluctuations
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
those  applicable to Aaa securities.  Bonds which are rated A by Moody's 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.  Bonds rated Baa by Moody's are considered
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. Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative
elements; their future cannot be considered  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.  Bonds which are rated B generally
lack  characteristics  of the  desirable  investment.  Assurance of interest and
principal  payments of or  maintenance  of other terms of the contract  over any
long  period  of time  may be  small.  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. Bonds which are rated Ca represent
obligations  which are  speculative  in a high degree.  Such issues are often in
default  or have  other  marked  shortcomings.  Bonds  which are rated C are the
lowest  rated  class of bonds  and  issues so rated  can be  regarded  as having
extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

         (b) COMMERCIAL PAPER. The Prime rating is the highest  commercial paper
rating assigned by Moody's. Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning
ratings are the following:  (1) evaluation of the management of the issuer;  (2)
economic  evaluation of the issuer's  industry or industries and an appraisal of
speculative-type risks which may be inherent in certain areas; (3) evaluation of
the issuer's  products in relation to competition and customer  acceptance;  (4)
liquidity;  (5) amount and quality of long-term debt; (6) trend of earnings over
a period of ten  years;  (7)  financial  strength  of a parent  company  and the
relationships  which exist with the issuer; and (8) recognition by management of
obligations  which may be  present  or may arise as a result of public  interest
questions and preparations to meet such  obligations.  Issuers within this Prime
category may be given ratings 1, 2 or 3, depending on the relative  strengths of
these  factors.  The  designation  of  Prime-1  indicates  the  highest  quality
repayment capacity of the rated issue.  Issuers rated Prime-2 are deemed to have
a strong ability for repayment while issuers voted Prime-3 are deemed to have an
acceptable ability for repayment. Issuers rated Not Prime do not fall within any
of the Prime rating categories.

S&P:

         (a)  CORPORATE  BONDS.  An  S&P  corporate  debt  rating  is a  current
assessment  of the  creditworthiness  of an obligor  with  respect to a specific
obligation. The ratings are based on current information furnished by the issuer
or  obtained  by S&P from  other  sources it  considers  reliable.  The  ratings
described  below may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show
relative standing within the major rating categories.

         Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P.  Capacity to pay
interest and repay principal is extremely strong. Debt rated AA is judged by S&P
to have a very strong  capacity to pay interest and repay  principal and differs
from the highest  rated issues only in small  degree.  Debt rated A by S&P has a
strong  capacity to pay  interest and repay  principal,  although it is somewhat
more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

         Debt rated BBB by S&P is regarded by S&P as having an adequate capacity
to pay  interest  and repay  principal.  Although  such bonds  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 than debt in higher rated categories.

         Debt rated BB, B, CCC,  CC and C is  regarded  as having  predominately
speculative  characteristics  with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal. BB indicates the least degree of speculation and C the highest. While
such debt will likely have some quality and  protective  characteristics,  these
are outweighed by large uncertainties or exposures to adverse  conditions.  Debt
rated BB has less  near-term  vulnerability  to default  than other  speculative
issues.  However,  it faces major ongoing  uncertainties  or exposure to adverse
business,  financial  or  economic  conditions  which  could lead to  inadequate
capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.  The BB rating category
is also used for debt  subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
implied BBB-  rating.  Debt rated B has a greater  vulnerability  to default but
currently has the capacity to meet interest  payments and principal  repayments.
Adverse business,  financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity
or willingness  to pay interest and repay  principal.  The B rating  category is
also used for debt  subordinated  to senior  debt that is  assigned an actual or
implied  BB  or  BB-  rating.  Debt  rated  CCC  has  a  currently  identifiable
vulnerability to default,  and is dependent upon favorable business,  financial,
and economic  conditions  to meet timely  payment of interest  and  repayment of
principal.  In the event of adverse business,  financial or economic conditions,
it is not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay  principal.  The
CCC rating  category is also used for debt  subordinated  to senior debt that is
assigned an actual or implied B or B- rating. The rating CC typically is applied
to debt  subordinated  to senior debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC
debt rating.  The rating C typically is applied to debt  subordinated  to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt  rating.  The C rating may
be used to cover a situation  where a bankruptcy  petition  has been filed,  but
debt service payments are continued.

         The rating CI is  reserved  for income  bonds on which no  interest  is
being paid.  Debt rated D is in payment  default.  The D rating category is used
when interest payments or principal  payments are not made on the date due, even
if the  applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless S&P believes that such
payments will be made during such grace  period.  The D rating also will be used
upon  the  filing  of  a  bankruptcy  petition  if  debt  service  payments  are
jeopardized.

         (b)  COMMERCIAL  PAPER.  An S&P  commercial  paper  rating is a current
assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of debt considered  short-term in
the relevant market.

         The  commercial  paper rating A-1 by S&P  indicates  that the degree of
safety  regarding timely payment is strong.  Those issues  determined to possess
extremely  strong  safety  characteristics  are  denoted  with a plus  sign  (+)
designation.  For commercial  paper with an A-2 rating,  the capacity for timely
payment on issues is satisfactory, but not as high as for issues designated A-1.
Issues  rated  A-3 have  adequate  capacity  for  timely  payment,  but are more
vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in  circumstances  than obligations
carrying higher designations.

         Issues  rated B are  regarded as having only  speculative  capacity for
timely payment.  The C rating is assigned to short-term debt  obligations with a
doubtful capacity for payment.  Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating
category is used when  interest  payments or principal  payments are not made on
the date due, even if the  applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless S&P
believes such payments will be made during such grace period.
