EXHIBIT A:
Change in Investment Policy

On April 30, 2002, the Board of Directors of the
Fund approved a change to the Fund's investment policies in
connection with new Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at
least 80% of the value of its assets in equity securities of
Indian Companies (as defined in the Fund's prospectus).
Previously, the Fund's investment policies stated that the
Fund would invest at least 65% of the value of its assets in
such securities. The Board also adopted a policy to provide
the stockholders of the Fund with 60 days' notice of any
change to the investment policy adopted if such notice is
required by Rule 35d-1.
