("TBK"), a Delaware limited partnership and (iii) Vanderbilt Partners, L.P. ("Vanderbilt"), a Delaware limited partnership. This Amendment No. 1 amends a Statement on Schedule 13D filed by TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt dated February 8, 1999 (the "TBC Statement"). The filing of this Amendment No. 1 should not be deemed an admission that TBC comprises a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"). This Amendment No. 1 relates to the Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. (the "Company"), which, to the best knowledge of the persons filing this Amendment No. 1 is a company organized under the laws of Delaware with its principal executive offices located at 56 Prospect Street, Hartford, CT 06115-0480. This Amendment No. 1 contains information regarding shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are held in the accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which it has obtained sole or shared voting power. This Amendment No. 1 is being filed because the filing persons are no longer subject to the filing requirements under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act (the "Act"), as a result of the disposition of its respective shares of Common Stock in open market transactions. Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC, there has been no material change in the information set forth in response to Items 1,2,3,4,6, and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly, those Items are omitted from this Amendment No. 1. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) As of the date hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 1,929,312 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 4.38% of the 44,000,000 shares of Common Stock which TBC believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts. Also included in the TBC Shares are 475 shares of Common Stock held in a TBC Account for a charitable foundation of which Christopher H. Browne is a trustee. Mr. Browne is a member of TBC and a general partner in TBK and Vanderbilt. As of the date hereof, TBK beneficially owns directly 221,560 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 0.50% of the 44,000,000 shares of Common Stock which TBK believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. As of the date hereof, Vanderbilt beneficially owns directly 20,000 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 0.04% of the 44,000,000 shares of Common Stock which Vanderbilt believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims that it is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt could be deemed to be the beneficial owner as of the date hereof, is 2,170,872 shares, which constitutes approximately 4.93% of the 44,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which the filing persons believe to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission that TBC is the beneficial owner of any of the TBC Shares. The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect to which each of the General Partners and Members may be deemed to be the beneficial owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBK and Vanderbilt, or a member of TBC, is 2,170,872 shares, which constitutes approximately 4.93% of the 44,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect to which Thomas P. Knapp may be deemed to be a beneficial owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBK is 221,560 shares of Common Stock which constitutes approximately 0.50% of the 44,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission that any of the General Partners or Thomas P. Knapp is the beneficial owner of any shares 7 of Common Stock, except as set forth herein as expressly and admittedly being beneficially owned by a particular General Partner or Thomas P. Knapp. Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims beneficial ownership of Common Stock held by the other. Except as described herein, to the best knowledge of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt, no person who may be deemed to comprise a group with any of TBC, TBK, Vanderbilt, or any other person named in Item 2 hereof, beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock. (b) TBC has investment discretion with respect to 1,929,312 shares of Common Stock held by the TBC Accounts and has sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of all of such shares. Of these shares of Common Stock, TBC has sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 1,367,758 shares of Common Stock held in certain TBC Accounts. Each of the Members of TBC, solely by reason of their positions as such, may be deemed to have (i) shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts; and (ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote of 1,367,758 shares of Common Stock held in certain TBC Accounts. TBK has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of and dispose or direct the disposition of the TBK Shares. Each of the General Partners and Thomas P. Knapp, solely by reason of their positions as general partners, may be deemed to have shared power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or direct the disposition of the TBK Shares.

To the best knowledge of TBK, no person other than TBK has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the TBK Shares, except that the General Partners and Thomas P. Knapp may 8 be deemed to have such rights and powers solely by reason of being general partners in TBK. To the best knowledge of Vanderbilt, no person other than Vanderbilt has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Vanderbilt Shares, except that the General Partners in Vanderbilt may be deemed to have such rights and powers solely by reason of being general partners in Vanderbilt.
