<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&#147;We
would like to call your attention to the special proposal this year which is to
permit the Fund to invest in a broader range of instruments than was generally
available when it went public in 1986. These include options and futures which
are <B><I>not listed on an exchange</I></B> and also which might be used for
<B><I>investment purposes</I></B> as opposed to purely hedging purposes. We
believe many of the newer
funds have these provisions and thus we are attempting to bring our fund up to
date. The portfolio managers have considered DAX sector index products but the
fund does not have any specific commitments at the present. It desires to have
the flexibility to do so when opportunities arise that the portfolio managers
deem attractive.&#148; </P>
