Introduction Information Common to All Funds

Each portfolio (each, a Fund) of MTB Group of Funds (Trust) is a mutual fund. A mutual fund pools shareholders’ money and, using professional investment managers, invests it in securities.

Each Fund has its own investment goal and strategies for reaching that goal. The investment advisor (or sub-advisor) invests each Fund’s assets in a way that the advisor believes will help a Fund achieve its goal. Still, investing in each Fund involves risk, and there is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its goal. The investment advisor’s judgments about the markets, the economy, or companies may not anticipate actual market movements, economic conditions or company performance, and these judgments may affect the return on your investment. In fact, no matter how good a job the investment advisor does, you could lose money on your investment in a Fund, just as you could with other investments. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency.

The value of your investment in a Fund is based on the market prices of the securities the Fund holds. These prices change daily due to economic and other events that affect particular companies and other issuers. These price movements, sometimes called volatility, may be greater or lesser depending on the types of securities a Fund owns and the markets in which they trade. The effect on a Fund of a change in the value of a single security will depend on how widely the Fund diversifies its holdings.

MTB RETAIL CLASS OF FUNDS

FUND GOALS, STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

<R>

This prospectus of the Trust offers Class A Shares and Class B Shares of 23 Funds, including ten Stock Funds, three Managed Allocation Funds, one Balanced Fund, and eight Bond Funds; and Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of one Stock Fund. Under a separate prospectus, the Trust offers one or more additional classes of shares (Institutional I Shares, Institutional II Shares, or Class S Shares) for each Fund covered by this prospectus (except for the three Managed Allocation Funds). In addition, under separate prospectuses, the Trust offers Class A, Class B, Institutional, Institutional I, Institutional II and/or Class S Shares of seven Money Market Funds.

</R>

The following pages describe the investment goals (objectives), strategies and principal risks of each Fund whose Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares are offered by this prospectus. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its goal. However, each Fund endeavors to do so by following the strategies and policies described in this prospectus.

The investment goal of each Fund may only be changed upon the approval of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Fund which may be affected by the changes. Certain investment strategies may be changed without shareholder approval, although a Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior written notice of a change in its 80% investment policy.

Performance and Financial History of MTB Group of Funds Which Succeeded the ARK Funds

Each of the following Funds (a Successor MTB Fund) is the successor to a corresponding portfolio of the ARK Funds pursuant to a reorganization (ARK Reorganization) which took place on August 15, 2003 or August 22, 2003 (together, the Closing Date).

</R>

Prior to that date, each Successor MTB Fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided in the prospectus for periods prior to the Closing Date is historical information for the corresponding ARK Fund. Each of the corresponding ARK Funds was managed by Allied Investment Advisors, Inc. (AIA), which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (M&T Bank) on April 1, 2003, when M&T Bank Corporation acquired Allfirst Financial Inc., Allfirst Bank (AllFirst) and their affiliates. On August 22, 2003, the investment advisory operations of M&T Asset Management, a department of M&T Bank, which was the pre-Reorganization advisor to the Trust, were transferred to AIA (which was renamed MTB Investment Advisors, Inc.). Effective on that date, MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. (MTBIA) became the investment advisor to the Trust. Each Successor MTB Fund has investment objectives and policies that are identical or substantially similar to those of the corresponding ARK Fund, although each Successor MTB Fund has different fee and expense arrangements than the corresponding ARK Fund.

Performance and Financial History of MTB Group of Funds Which Succeeded the Governor Funds

Each of the following Funds (Successor MTB Fund) is a successor to a corresponding portfolio of the Governor Funds (Corresponding Governor Fund) pursuant to a reorganization that took place on January 8, 2001.

Prior to that date, each Successor MTB Fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information and financial information provided in the prospectus for periods prior to January 8, 2001, is historical information for the Corresponding Governor Fund. Each of the Corresponding Governor Funds was managed through January 8, 2001 by Martindale Andres & Company LLC, which became a subsidiary of M&T Bank on October 6, 2000. On January 8, 2001, M&T Asset Management, a department of M&T Bank, assumed all advisory responsibilities. Each Corresponding Governor Fund had investment objectives and policies that are identical or substantially similar to that of the Successor MTB Fund, although the Corresponding Governor Funds had different fee and expense arrangements.

Prior to August 15, 2003, MTB Group of Funds was known as Vision Group of Funds. Prior to August 11, 2000, Vision Group of Funds was known as Vision Group of Funds, Inc.

Performance

On the following pages is performance information for each Fund. This information gives you some indication of the risks of an investment in a Fund by comparing each Fund’s performance with a broad measure of market performance. While past performance of a Fund does not necessarily predict future performance, the following information provides you with the historical performance information to assist you in analyzing how each Fund’s investment risks may be balanced by their potential rewards. For more current performance information, call (800) 836-2211.

Bar Charts

The bar chart represents the (historical) calendar year performance of Class A Shares of each Fund without reflecting the applicable sales charge imposed on Class A Shares. If these charges or fees had been included, the return would have been lower. Following the bar chart is the year-to-date performance of Class A Shares through the most recent calendar quarter, again, without reflecting any applicable sales charge imposed on Class A Shares. Also provided is the best and worst calendar quarter performance for Class A Shares through the most recent calendar year. For Funds that also offer Class B and/or Class C Shares, Class A Shares performance is shown because it has the longest operating history.

Average Annual Total Return Tables

Following the bar chart is a performance table showing the Average Annual Total Return for Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, if applicable, of the Funds as compared to an appropriate broad-based securities market index for certain periods ended December 31, 2004. The Funds’ total return figures reflect the maximum sales charge that could apply. The market indices are unmanaged and are not adjusted for any sales charges, expenses or other fees the SEC requires to be reflected in a Fund’s performance. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Risks Common to the Funds

The Shares offered by this prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.

MTB INCOME FUND

Cusip: 55376T874 Symbol: AKIRX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T866 Symbol: ARIBX (Class B Shares)

Goal

Primarily current income and secondarily capital growth.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in U.S. investment grade corporate and government fixed income securities, including mortgage backed securities. The Fund’s Advisor will generally select investment grade fixed income securities and unrated securities determined to be of comparable quality, but also may invest up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets in lower-rated debt securities (“junk bonds”). The Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of four to twenty years. However, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund’s investments will vary depending on market conditions. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers a security’s current yield, credit quality, capital appreciation potential, maturity and yield to maturity. The Advisor will monitor changing economic conditions and trends, including interest rates, and may sell securities in anticipation of an increase in interest rates or purchase securities in anticipation of a decrease in interest rates.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.
  • Risks Associated with Non-Investment Grade Securities. Securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate and credit risks than investment grade securities.

The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund’s Class A Shares total returns on a calendar year-end basis.

The total returns displayed for the Fund’s Class A Shares do not reflect the payment of any sales charges or recurring shareholder account fees. If these charges or fees had been included, the returns would have been lower.

The Fund’s Class A Shares total return for the six-month period from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005 was 1.89%.

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares Average Annual Total Returns, reduced to reflect applicable sales charges, for the calendar periods ended December 31, 2004. Return Before Taxes is shown. In addition, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s Class A Shares to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation and are likely to differ from those shown. The table also shows returns for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (LBAB), a broad based market index, and Lipper Corporate A-Rated Debt Funds Average. The LBAB is a total return index measuring both the capital price changes and income provided by the underlying universe of securities, weighted by market value outstanding. The Lipper Corporate A-Rated Debt Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the index shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. Return After Taxes on Distributions assumes a continued investment in the Fund and shows the effect of taxes on Fund distributions. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares assumes all shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on Fund distributions. These after-tax returns for Class B Shares will differ from those shown above for Class A Shares. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA or 401(k) plans.
(2)
  
The start of performance date was July 16, 1993. Class B Shares of the Fund were offered beginning September 14, 1998. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum CDSC and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class B Shares. The Fund’s Institutional I Shares, which are not offered by this prospectus, commenced operations on July 16, 1993. The Fund’s Class B annual returns would bave been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This information provides you with historical performance information so that you can analyze whether the Fund’s investment risks are balanced by its potential rewards.

(3) A portion of the shareholder services fee for the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares has been voluntarily waived. This voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. The shareholder services fee paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares (after the voluntary waiver) were 0.02% and 0.22%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(4) A portion of the portfolio accounting fee has been voluntarily waived. This voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. Total other expenses paid by the Fund (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.19% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(5) After Class B Shares have been held for eight years from the date of purchase, they will automatically convert to Class A Shares on or about the last day of the following month. Class A Shares pay lower operating expenses than Class B Shares.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in U.S. investment grade corporate and government fixed income securities, including mortgage and asset backed securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in fixed income securities. The Fund’s Advisor will select investment grade fixed income securities and unrated securities determined to be of comparable quality, but also may invest up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets in lower-rated debt securities (“junk bonds”). The Fund normally invests in securities with intermediate maturities, and the Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of three to ten years. However, the Fund has no maturity restrictions on individual issues, and the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund’s investments will vary depending on market conditions.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers a security’s current yield, credit quality, capital appreciation potential, maturity and yield to maturity. The Advisor will monitor changing economic conditions and trends, including interest rates, and may sell securities in anticipation of an increase in interest rates or purchase securities in anticipation of a decrease in interest rates.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.
  • Risks Associated with Non-Investment Grade Securities. Securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate and credit risks than investment grade securities.

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares Average Annual Total Returns for the calendar periods ended December 31, 2004. Return Before Taxes is shown. In addition, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s Class A Shares to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. The table also shows returns for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Index, broad-based market indexes, and Lipper Intermediate Investment-Grade Debt Funds Average. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a total return index measuring both the capital price changes and income provided by the underlying universe of securities, weighted by market value outstanding. The Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Index is a widely recognized, market value-weighted index of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency obligations, corporate debt securities, fixed-rate nonconvertible corporate debt securities, Yankee bonds and nonconvertible corporate debt securities issued by or guaranteed by foreign government and agencies. The Lipper Intermediate Investment-Grade Debt Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc. with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the index shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

MTB MARYLAND MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Cusip: 55376T569 Symbol: ARMRX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T551 Symbol: AMTBX (Class B Shares)

Goal

Current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Maryland state and local income taxes.

Strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests its assets so that at least 80% of the income it distributes will be exempt from federal regular income tax and personal income tax imposed by the State of Maryland and Maryland municipalities. The principal issuers of these securities are state and local governments and agencies located in Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions. However, the income on these securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a larger percentage of assets in a small number of issuers. The Fund invests in investment grade municipal securities.

In selecting securities, the Fund’s Advisor considers the future direction of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, as well as credit quality and sector allocation issues. Sector allocation issues involve the relative attractiveness of rates and market opportunities in sectors such as general obligation or revenue bonds.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
  • Risks of Non-Diversification. The Fund may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities.
  • Maryland Investment Risks. The Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect securities issued by Maryland issuers. The economy of Maryland is relatively diversified across the service, trade and government sectors, but could be adversely impacted by changes to any of these sectors.

MTB NEW YORK MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Goal

To provide current income which is exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of New York and New York municipalities and as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

Strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests its assets so that at least 80% of the income it distributes will be exempt from federal regular income tax and personal income tax imposed by the State of New York and New York municipalities. However, the income on these securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

The economy of New York state is large and diverse, from agriculture, manufacturing and high technology in upstate counties to advertising, finance and banking in New York City. Any major changes to the financial conditions of New York City, however, would ultimately have an effect on the state.

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares Average Annual Total Returns, reduced to reflect applicable sales charges, for the calendar periods ending December 31, 2004. Return Before Taxes is shown. In addition, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s Class A Shares to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. The table also shows returns for the Lehman Brothers New York Tax-Exempt Index (LBNYTE), a broad-based market index and the Lipper New York Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average. The LBNYTE is a total return performance benchmark for the New York long-term, investment grade, tax-exempt bond market. Returns and attributes for this index are calculated semi-monthly using approximately 22,000 municipal bonds classified as general obligation bonds (state and local), revenue bonds (excluding insured revenue bonds), insured bonds (includes all bond insurers with Aaa/AAA ratings), and prerefunded bonds. The Lipper New York Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the index shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class A 1 Year    3 Years    5 Years     10 Years

MTB PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Cusip: 55376T312 Symbol: APARX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T296 Symbol: APTBX (Class B Shares)

Goal

Current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Pennsylvania personal income taxes.

Strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests its assets so that at least 80% of the income it distributes will be exempt from federal regular income tax and personal income tax imposed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania municipalities. The principal issuers of these securities are state and local governments and agencies located in Pennsylvania, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions. However, the income on these securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a larger percentage of assets in a small number of issuers. The Fund invests in investment grade municipal securities.

In selecting securities, the Fund’s Advisor considers the future direction of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, as well as credit quality and sector allocation issues. Sector allocation issues involve the relative attractiveness of rates and market opportunities in sectors such as general obligation or revenue bonds.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
  • Risks of Non-Diversification. The Fund may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities.
  • Pennsylvania Investment Risks. The Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect securities issued by Pennsylvania issuers. Pennsylvania’s economy has historically been dependent on heavy industry and agriculture, but has diversified recently into medical and health services, education and financial services. Future economic difficulties in any of these industries could have an adverse impact on the finances of the state.

(1)     The Fund’s Class A and Class B Shares start of performance date was April 1, 1996. Performance presented prior to March 30, 1998 reflects the performance of the Marketvest Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, which were offered beginning April 1, 1996. The assets of the Marketvest fund were reorganized into the predecessor ARK Fund in 1998 following the acquisition by Allfirst Financial, Inc. of Dauphin Deposit Corporation.
(2)   After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. Return After Taxes on Distributions assumes a continued investment in the Fund and shows the effect on taxes on Fund distributions. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares assumes all shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on Fund distributions. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After-tax returns for Class B Shares will differ from those shown above for Class A Shares. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA or 401(k) plans.
(3)   The start of performance date was April 1, 1996. Class A Shares of the Fund were offered beginning March 23, 1998. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum sales charge and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class A Shares. The Fund’s Institutional I Shares, which is not offered by this prospectus, commenced operations on March 23, 1998. Performance results before that date are for the Marketvest Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, which began offering its shares on April 1, 1996 and was reorganized into the predecessor ARK Fund on March 20, 1998. The Fund’s Class A Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.
(4)   The start of performance date was April 1, 1996. Class B Shares of the Fund were offered beginning September 1, 1999. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum CDSC and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class B Shares. The Fund’s Institutional I Shares, which is not offered by this prospectus, commenced operations on March 23, 1998. Performance results before that date are for the Marketvest Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, which began offering its shares on April 1, 1996 and was reorganized into the Fund on March 20, 1998. The Fund’s Class B Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.

MTB SHORT DURATION GOVERNMENT BOND FUND

Cusip: 55376T247 Symbol: ASTTX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T239 Symbol: MSDGX (Class B Shares)

Goal

To seek current income, with preservation of capital as a secondary objective.

Strategy

The Fund normally invests substantially all, but under normal market conditions no less than 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of debt obligations issued or supported as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities including mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, variable and floating rate securities, and zero coupon securities, and in repurchase agreements backed by such securities. Certain mortgage backed securities, including adjustable rate mortgage securities (ARMs) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are included within the definition of “U.S. government securities”. The Fund expects to maintain a duration of less than three years under normal market conditions.

<R>

The Fund intends to invest in the securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in GSE securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. Finally, the Fund may invest in some GSE securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Such securities include those issued by the Farm Credit System and the Financing Corporation.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.

MTB SHORT-TERM CORPORATE BOND FUND

Cusip: 55376T213 Symbol: MVSAX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T197 Symbol: MVSBX (Class B Shares)

Goal

Current income.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in U.S. corporate fixed income securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. corporate fixed income securities. The Fund’s Advisor will select investment grade securities and unrated securities determined to be of comparable quality, but also may invest up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets in lower-rated debt securities (“junk bonds”). The Fund also invests in a range of U.S. government securities, including mortgage and asset-backed securities. For purposes of the Fund’s 80% investment policy, U.S. corporate fixed income securities would include corporate asset-backed securities. The Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of no more than three years. However, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund’s investments will vary depending on market conditions.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers a security’s current yield, capital appreciation potential, maturity and yield to maturity. The Advisor will monitor changing economic conditions and trends, including interest rates, and may sell securities in anticipation of an increase in interest rates or purchase securities in anticipation of a decline in interest rates.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.
  • Risks Associated with Non-Investment Grade Securities. Securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate and credit risks than investment grade securities.

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares Average Annual Total Returns for the calendar periods ended December 31, 2004. Return Before Taxes is shown. In addition, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s Class A Shares to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. The table also shows returns for the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index (LB1-3GC) and the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government Bond Index (LB1-3GB), broad-based market indexes, and Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average. The LB1-3GC is a new index that captures funds with exposures to both government and commercial credit. The LB1-3GB is a widely recognized index of U.S. government obligations with maturities between one and three years. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark index from LB1-3GB to LB1-3GC because it is more reflective of the Fund’s current investment strategy. The Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the indexes shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

(1)   The Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares start of performance date was August 25, 2003.
(2)   After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. Return After Taxes on Distributions assumes a continued investment in the Fund and shows the effect of taxes on Fund distributions. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares assumes all shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on Fund distributions. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After-tax returns for Class B Shares will differ from those shown above for Class A Shares. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA or 401(k) plans.

Goal

To provide current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary, non-fundamental investment consideration.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio consisting of debt obligations that are guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities and government-sponsored enterprises, including mortgage backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The Fund anticipates that most of its assets will be invested in fixed income securities having maturities greater than one year. Certain mortgage backed securities, including adjustable rate mortgage securities (ARMs) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are included within the definition of “U.S. government securities.” The Fund may invest at times to a limited extent in other types of debt obligations to enhance total return (e.g., corporate debt obligations, taxable municipal securities, asset backed securities, etc.).

The Fund intends to invest in the securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in GSE securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. Finally, the Fund may invest in some GSE securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Such securities include those issued by the Farm Credit System and the Financing Corporation.

MTB BALANCED FUND

Cusip: 55376T106 Symbol: ARBAX (Class A Shares)

Goal

To provide total return. The Fund’s total return will consist of both current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation, provided by fixed income securities, and long-term capital appreciation provided by equity securities.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in a diverse portfolio of common stocks and investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund’s Advisor will select common stocks of mid cap and large cap companies that are recognized leaders in their respective markets. In evaluating securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers each company’s current financial strength, revenue, earnings growth, and relative valuation of its stock. The Advisor will also purchase investment grade fixed income securities with varying maturities, including corporate and government securities and mortgage backed securities but also may invest up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets in lower-rated debt securities (junk bonds). The Advisor will adjust the Fund’s asset mix based on its analysis of the relative attractiveness and risk of bonds and stocks in connection with economic, financial and other market trends. The Fund maintains at least 25% of its total assets in fixed income securities. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor attempts to maximize total return by purchasing a combination of common stocks and fixed income securities of primarily U.S. issuers. The Advisor will also attempt to minimize price declines during equity market downturns by reallocating assets to fixed income securities.

For purposes of the fund strategy regarding selection of common stocks, mid cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index and the Russell Mid Cap Index; and large cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P 500 Index. The definitions will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the relevant indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index ranged from $300 million to $11.46 billion; the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap Index ranged from $858 million to $14.52 billion; and the market capitalization of companies in the S&P 500 Index ranged from $500 million to $367.5 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining mid- and large-cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

</R>

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.
  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Risks Associated with Non-Investment Grade Securities. Securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate and credit risks than investment grade securities.

The S&P 500 is a capitalization weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a total return index measuring both the capital price changes and income provided by the underlying universe of securities, weighted by market value outstanding. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark index from S&P 500 to S&P 500/BG because it is more reflective of the Fund’s current investment strategy. The Lipper Balanced Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the indexes shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

(1) After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. Return After Taxes on Distributions assumes a continued investment in the Fund and shows the effect of taxes on Fund distributions. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares assumes all shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on Fund distributions. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA or 401(k) plans.
(2) Class B Shares of the Fund were offered beginning September 14, 1998. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum CDSC and total annual operating expenses applicable to Fund’s Class B Shares. The Fund’s Institutional I Shares, which are not offered by this prospectus, commenced operations on July 16, 1993. The Fund’s Class B Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.

(1) The percentages shown are based on expenses for the entire fiscal year ended April 30, 2005. However, the rate at which expenses are accrued during the fiscal year may not be constant and, at any particular point, may be greater or less than the stated average percentage. Although not contractually obligated to do so, the advisor, distributor, shareholder services provider and portfolio accountant waived certain amounts. These are shown below along with the net expenses the Fund actually paid for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
Total Waivers of Fund Expenses 0.30 %    0.10 %
Total Actual Annual Fund Operating        
Expenses (after waivers) 1.11 % 1.81 %
(2)     The advisor voluntarily waived a portion of the management fee. The advisor can terminate this voluntary waiver at any time. The management fee paid by the Fund (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.64% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(3)   A portion of the distribution (12b-1) fee for the Fund’s Class A Shares has been voluntarily waived. This voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. The distribution (12b-1) fee paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.24% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(4)   All or a portion of the shareholder services fee for the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares has been voluntarily waived. This voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. The shareholder services fee paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.00% and 0.19%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(5)   A portion of the portfolio accounting fee has been voluntarily waived. This voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. Total other expenses paid by the Fund (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.23% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(6)   After Class B Shares have been held for eight years from the date of purchase, they will automatically convert to Class A Shares on or about the last day of the following month. Class A Shares pay lower operating expenses than Class B Shares.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class A 1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years
Expenses assuming                      
redemption $ 686     $ 972     $ 1,279    $ 2,148
Expenses assuming                      
no redemption $ 686   $ 972   $ 1,279   $ 2,148

MTB MANAGED ALLOCATION FUNDS

Goals

<R>

MTB MANAGED ALLOCATION FUND — AGGRESSIVE GROWTH seeks capital appreciation.

MTB MANAGED ALLOCATION FUND — CONSERVATIVE GROWTH seeks capital appreciation and income.

MTB MANAGED ALLOCATION FUND — MODERATE GROWTH seeks capital appreciation and, secondarily, income.

</R>

Strategies

<R>

Each Managed Allocation Fund seeks to achieve its goal by investing in a combination of underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) managed by the Advisor. Each Fund’s assets are allocated among Underlying Funds that invest primarily in the three asset classes shown below so that each Fund normally has exposure to each of these asset classes within the noted percentage ranges. With respect to each Fund, the amount allocated among the Underlying Funds will vary from time to time in an attempt to achieve that Fund’s goal based upon the Advisor’s view of economic conditions. In the case of MTB Managed Allocation Fund — Aggressive Growth and MTB Managed Allocation Fund — Moderate Growth, the largest allocations normally are to Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity securities (Underlying Equity Funds). With respect to MTB Managed Allocation Fund — Moderate Growth, however, the amount allocated to Underlying Funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities (Underlying Fixed Income Funds) and money market funds (Underlying Money Market Funds) can at times exceed the amount in equities. In the case of MTB Managed Allocation Fund — Conservative Growth, the largest allocations normally are to Underlying Fixed Income Funds, but at times the amount allocated to Underlying Equity Funds and Underlying Money Market Funds can exceed the amount in Underlying Fixed Income Funds. Each Underlying Equity Fund employs a growth, value or blended style of investing and, together, the Underlying Equity Funds invest in companies representing a wide range of market capitalizations. For further information regarding the Underlying Funds, see “Summary of Goals, Strategies, and Risks of the Underlying Funds.”

</R>

Certain of the Underlying Funds invest in foreign securities and below investment grade securities (junk bonds). In addition, certain of the Underlying Funds invest in securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. An Underlying Fund may also invest in GSE securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. Finally, an Underlying Fund may invest in a few GSE securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Such securities include those issued by the Farm Credit System and the Financing Corporation.

A summary of the goals, strategies and risks of the Underlying Money Market Funds is as follows:

Goals. The goal of each Underlying Money Market Fund is to seek current income with liquidity and stability of principal by investing in high quality money market instruments. Each Underlying Money Market Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share for purchases and redemptions.

Additional information on the Underlying Money Market Funds can be found in separate MTB Funds prospectuses, which are available by calling (800) 836-2211.

</R>

Risks Common to the Managed Allocation Funds

In addition to the risks of each Underlying Fund, each Managed Allocation Fund is subject to the following factors:

  • Both the Managed Allocation Funds and the Underlying Funds in which they invest bear fees and expenses, so investment in a Managed Allocation Fund may be subject to certain duplicate expenses.
  • The Advisor is subject to certain conflicts of interest in choosing the Underlying Funds in which a Managed Allocation Fund may invest.

(1)    The percentages shown are based on anticipated expenses for the entire fiscal year ending April 30, 2006. However, the rate at which expenses are accrued during the fiscal year may not be constant and at any particular point, may be greater or less than the stated average percentage. The Advisor has agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) to which it is otherwise entitled to receive and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund in order to limit the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares total operating expenses to not more than 1.00% and 1.57%, respectively, of average daily net assets for the period starting from May 1, 2005 through april 30, 2006. The management fee paid by the Fund (after the contractual waiver) is expected to be 0.16% for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006.
(2)   All or a portion of the distribution (12b-1) fee for the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares is expected to be voluntarily waived. This anticipated voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. The distribution (12b-1) fee paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares (after the anticipated voluntary waiver) is expected to be 0.00% and 0.57%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006.
(3)   The shareholder services fee for the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares is expected to be voluntarily waived. This anticipated voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. The shareholder services fee paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares (after the anticipated voluntary waiver) is expected to be 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006.
(4)   The Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests. The Fund’s indirect expense from investing in the Underlying Funds varies, based upon the average allocation of the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds and upon the actual total operating expenses of the Underlying Funds (including any current waivers and expense limitations), all of which will vary from time to time. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, the ranges of such total operating expenses of the Underlying Funds, by category, were as follows: Money Market Funds: 0.42%; Fixed Income Funds: 0.78% to 0.85%; and Equity Funds, 1.08% to 1.50%.
(5)   After Class B Shares have been held for eight years from the date of purchase, they will automatically convert to Class A Shares on or about the last day of the following month. Class A Shares pay lower operating expenses than Class B Shares.
(6)   The Total Actual Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after waivers and reimbursement) for the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares were 1.02% and 1.59%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares operating expenses are shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class A 1 Year    3 Years    5 Years    10 Years
Expenses assuming                      
redemption $ 654   $ 977   $ 1,322   $ 2,295
Expenses assuming                      
no redemption $ 654   $ 977   $ 1,322   $ 2,295

(1)    The percentages shown are based on anticipated expenses for the entire fiscal year ending April 30, 2006. However, the rate at which expenses are accrued during the fiscal year may not be constant and at any particular point, may be greater or less than the stated average percentage. The Advisor has agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) to which it is otherwise entitled to receive and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund in order to limit the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares total operating expenses to not more than 1.00% and 1.56%, respectively, of average daily net assets for the period starting from May 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006. The management fee paid by the Fund (after the contractual waiver) is expected to be 0.00% for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006.
(2)   All or a portion of the distribution (12b-1) fee for the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares is expected to be voluntarily waived. This anticipated voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. The distribution (12b-1) fee paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares (after the anticipated voluntary waiver) is expected to be 0.00% and 0.56%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006.
(3)   The shareholder services fee for the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares is expected to be voluntarily waived. This anticipated voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. The shareholder services fee paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares (after the anticipated voluntary waiver) is expected to be 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006.
(4)   The advisor expects to contractually reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund. Total other expenses paid by the Fund (after the contractual reimbursement) are expected to be 1.00% for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006.
(5)   The Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests. The Fund’s indirect expense from investing in the Underlying Funds varies, based upon the average allocation of the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds and upon the actual total operating expenses of the Underlying Funds (including any current waivers and expense limitations), all of which will vary from time to time. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, the ranges of such total operating expenses of the Underlying Funds, by category, were as follows: Money Market Funds: 0.42%; Fixed Income Funds: 0.68% to 0.85%; and Equity Funds, 0.99% to 1.50%.
(6)   After Class B Shares have been held for eight years from the date of purchase, they will automatically convert to Class A Shares on or about the last day of the following month. Class A Shares pay lower operating expenses than Class B Shares.
(7)   The Total Actual Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after waivers and reimbursement) for the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares were 1.00% and 1.56%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares operating expenses are shown in the table and remain the same.

Cusip: 55376T502 Symbol: AEIBX (Class B Shares)

Goal

Current income and growth of capital.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in dividend-paying U.S. common stocks and other equity securities. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in dividend-paying equity securities. The Fund may, to a limited extent, purchase convertible and preferred stocks and investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund’s investment advisor will build a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks of mid-size and large companies that have an above-average dividend yield relative to the broad stock market.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor purchases stocks of high-quality companies that have consistently paid dividends. In addition, the Advisor will generally invest in stocks of companies whose securities are attractively valued relative to comparable investments.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Cusip: 55376T809 Symbol: ARKBX (Class B Shares)

Goal

Investment results that correspond to the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500).

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing in substantially all of the securities listed in the S&P 500, which is comprised of 500 selected securities (mostly common stocks). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in equity securities of companies included in the S&P 500. The Fund is managed by utilizing a computer program that identifies which stocks should be purchased or sold in order to replicate, as closely as practicable, the composition of the S&P 500. The Fund will approximate the industry and sector weightings of the S&P 500 by matching the weightings of the stocks included in the S&P 500.

The Fund may, to a limited extent, invest in futures contracts, options, options on futures, and index participation contracts based on the S&P 500. The Fund will invest in these contracts and options to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests, to increase the level of Fund assets devoted to replicating the composition of the S&P 500, and to reduce transaction costs.

Although the Fund will not replicate the performance of the S&P 500 precisely, it is anticipated that there will be a close correlation between the Fund’s performance and that of the S&P 500 in both rising and falling markets. The size and timing of cash flows and the level of expenses are the principal factors that contribute to the lack of precise correlation between the S&P 500 and the Fund. The Fund attempts to achieve a 95% or better correlation between the performance of the Fund and that of the S&P 500.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Tracking Error Risk. Due to additional expenses borne by the Fund which are not borne by the Fund’s benchmark index, the Fund may not be able achieve its investment objective of accurately correlating to the S&P 500.

MTB INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND

Cusip: 55376T791 Symbol: GVIEX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T783 Symbol: VIEFX (Class B Shares)

Goal

To seek long-term capital appreciation, primarily through a diversified portfolio of non-U.S. equity securities.

Strategy

The Fund will invest substantially all, but under normal circumstances, not less than 80% (measured at time of purchase), of the value of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in a diversified portfolio of equity securities in at least eight countries other than the United States. Equity securities include common stocks and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities. Although it may invest anywhere in the world, the Fund invests primarily in the equity markets listed in the Morgan Stanley Capital International European, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index®, the benchmark against which the Fund measures the performance of its portfolio. The Fund may also invest in foreign forward currency contracts to achieve allocation strategies. The investment perspective of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (UBS), sub-advisor for the Fund, is to invest in the equity securities of non-U.S. markets and companies which are believed to be undervalued based upon internal research and proprietary valuation systems. These processes utilized by the Fund’s sub-advisor incorporate internal analysts’ considerations of company management, competitive advantage, and each company’s core competencies to determine a stock’s fundamental value, which is then compared to the stock’s current market price.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
  • Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign, economic, political or regulatory conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States.
  • Currency Risk. Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency rates and by substantial currency conversion costs.

MTB LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND

Cusip: 55376T767 Symbol: VLCPX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T759 Symbol: VLGRX (Class B Shares)

Goal

To provide capital appreciation.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities (primarily common stocks) of large cap companies. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities. The Advisor uses a bottom-up approach to selecting growth-oriented stocks. The Fund seeks to invest in high-quality, well-established large cap companies that:

  • have a strong history of earnings growth;
  • are attractively priced, relative to the company’s potential for above-average, long-term earnings and revenue growth;
  • have strong balance sheets;
  • have a sustainable competitive advantage; and
  • are currently, or have the potential to become industry leaders.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, large cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P 500 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the index. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P 500 Index ranged from $500 million to $367.5 billion. The capitalization range is subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining large cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

The table also shows returns for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500), Standard & Poor’s 500/Barra Growth Index (S&P 500/BG), and Lipper Large Cap Growth Funds Average (LLCGFA). The S&P 500 is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The S&P 500/BG is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of stocks in the S&P 500 having the highest price-to-book ratios. The S&P 500/BG consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 on a market capitalization basis. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark index from S&P 500 to S&P 500/BG because it is more reflective of the Fund’s current investment strategy. The LLCGFA is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the indexes shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets in equity securities (primarily common stocks) of large cap companies. In selecting investments for the Fund, the advisor uses an investment process consisting of three levels of analysis: trend, quantitative, and qualitative. The advisor identifies trends that are likely to affect sectors, industries, and specific companies and their respective share prices. The advisor uses quantitative analysis to target growth companies that have exhibited both high returns on invested capital and prudent capital management. The advisor’s quantitative models include factors such as company share repurchase programs, cash flow return on invested capital, and the market value of the firm relative to the capital employed by the firm. The advisor uses qualitative analysis for seeking growing companies in growing markets. Important qualitative attributes include gross profit growth, sustainable competitive advantage, strategic leverage, consistency of execution, and identifiable core competency. In conjunction with these three levels of analysis, the advisor seeks to purchase stocks of the identified companies at reasonable valuations.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, large cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P 500 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the index. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P 500 Index ranged from $500 million to $367.5 billion. The capitalization range is subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining large cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.

(1)    The Fund’s Class A and Class B Shares start of performance dates was April 1, 1996. Performance presented prior to March 30, 1998 reflects the performance of the Marketvest Equity Fund Shares, which were offered beginning April 1, 1996. The assets of the Marketvest fund were reorganized into the ARK Fund in 1998 following the acquisition by Allfirst Financial, Inc. of Dauphin Deposit Corporation.
(2)   After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. Return After Taxes on Distributions assumes a continued investment in the Fund and shows the effect of taxes on Fund distributions. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares assumes all shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on Fund distributions. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After tax returns for Class B Shares will differ from those shown above for Class A Shares. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA or 401(k) plans.
(3)   The Start of performance date was April 1,1996. Class A Shares of the Fund were offered beginning April 1, 1998. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum sales charge and total annual operating expenses applicable to Fund’s Class A Shares. The Fund’s Institutional I Shares, which are not offered by this prospectus, commenced operations on April 1, 1998. Performance results before that date are for the Marketvest Equity Fund, which began offering its shares on April 1, 1996 and was reorganized into the Fund on March 27, 1998. The Fund’s Class A Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.
    The Start of performance date was April 1, 1996. Class B Shares of the Fund were offered beginning September 14, 1998. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum CDSC and total annual operating expenses applicable to Fund’s Class B Shares. The Fund’s Institutional I Shares, which are not offered by this prospectus, commenced operations on April 1, 1998. Performance results before that date are for the Marktevest Equity Fund, which began offering its shares on April 1, 1996 and was reorganized into the Fund on March 27, 1998. The Fund’s Class B Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.
     
    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This information provides you with historical performance information so that you can analyze whether the Fund’s investment risks are balanced by its potential rewards.

MTB LARGE CAP VALUE FUND

Cusip: 55376T684 Symbol: VEINX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T676 Symbol: VLCVX (Class B Shares)

Goal

To provide capital appreciation. Current income is a secondary, non-fundamental consideration.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities (primarily common stocks) of large cap U.S. companies. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks, as well as convertible securities. The investment advisor uses a value-oriented approach to select those companies with unrecognized or undervalued assets. Such a value approach seeks companies whose stock prices do not appear to reflect their underlying value as measured by assets, earnings, cash flow, business franchises, or other quantitative or qualitative measurements.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, large cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P 500 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the index. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P 500 Index ranged from $500 million to $367.5 billion. The capitalization range is subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining large cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

Goal

Long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in equity securities of mid cap companies. The Fund’s Advisor chooses stocks of mid cap companies that have significant growth potential. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor purchases securities of companies that have not reached full maturity, but that have above-average sales and earnings growth.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, mid cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index or the Russell Mid Cap Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index ranged from $300 million to $11.46 billion, and the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap Index ranged from $858 million to $14.52 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining mid cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.
  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class A     1 Year     3 Years     5 Years     10 Years
Expenses assuming                        
redemption   $ 707   $ 1,036   $ 1,388   $ 2,377
Expenses assuming                        
no redemption   $ 707   $ 1,036   $ 1,388   $ 2,377
Class B                        
Expenses assuming                        
redemption   $ 716   $ 967   $ 1,344   $ 2,335
Expenses assuming

MTB MID CAP STOCK FUND

Cusip: 55376T494 Symbol: VMCSX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T486 Symbol: VMCPX (Class B Shares)

Goal

To provide total return. The Fund’s total return will consist of two components: (1) changes in the market value of its portfolio securities (both realized and unrealized appreciation); and (2) income received from its portfolio securities. The Fund expects that capital appreciation will comprise the largest component of its total return.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities (primarily common stocks) of mid-cap companies. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities. The Advisor utilizes a blended style of investing by allocating and reallocating, for investment management purposes, varying portions of the portfolio between the Advisor (with respect to growth style portion of the portfolio, where the Advisor looks for companies which have above-average sales and earnings growth) and the Fund’s Sub-Advisor, LSV Asset Management (LSV) (with respect to the value style portion of the portfolio, where LSV looks for companies with relatively low or unrecognized valuations). The Fund’s total return will result mostly from capital appreciation rather than income.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, mid cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index or the Russell Mid Cap Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index ranged from $300 million to $11.46 billion, and the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap Index ranged from $858 million to $14.52 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining mid cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund commenced operations on October 15, 1999, when it acquired both VISION Growth and Income Fund and VISION Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Acquired Funds”) in a reorganization. In order to comply with comments made by the staff of the SEC, Mid Cap Stock Fund had to become an “accounting survivor” of one of the Acquired Funds, despite the differences in the investment objective, strategies, policies and expenses of the Acquired Funds, and the fact that Mid Cap Stock Fund’s sub-advisor never managed, or provided any investment advice to, the Acquired Funds. Accordingly, the following financial and performance information presented for Mid Cap Stock Fund in reality reflects the historical operations of VISION Growth and Income Fund for all periods prior to October 15, 1999. This past performance does not necessarily predict future performance of Mid Cap Stock Fund and should be evaluated in light of the Fund’s organization and the differences noted above.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

MTB MULTI CAP GROWTH FUND

Cusip: 55376T395 Symbol: ARGAX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T387 Symbol: ACPLX (Class B Shares)

Goal

Long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its assets in common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks of companies within a broad range of market capitalizations. The Fund’s Advisor will shift the emphasis among companies within the capitalization range according to changes in economic conditions, stock market fundamentals and other pertinent factors. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers each company’s current financial strength, as well as its revenue and earnings growth and the valuation of its stock. In doing so, the Fund’s Advisor will seek to build a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks with above-average capital growth potential.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, multi cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the index. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 3000 Index ranged from $68 million to $367.45 billion. The capitalization range is subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining multi-cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares Average Annual Total Returns, reduced to reflect applicable sales charges, for the calendar periods ending December 31, 2004. Return Before Taxes is shown. In addition, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s Class A Shares to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. The table also shows returns for the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 3000 Growth Index, broad-based market indexes, and the Lipper Multi Cap Growth Funds Average. The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 3000 Growth Index measures the poerformance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark index from Russell 2000 Growth to Russell 3000 Growth because it is more reflective of the Fund’s current investment strategy. The Lipper Multi Cap Growth Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the indexes shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

(1)     After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. Return After Taxes on Distributions assumes a continued investment in the Fund and shows the effect on taxes on Fund distributions. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares assumes all shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on Fund distributions. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After tax returns for Class B Shares will differ from those shown above for Class A Shares. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA or 401(k) plans.
(2)   The start of performance date was July 16, 1993. Class B Shares of the Fund were offered beginning September 14, 1998. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum CDSC and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class B Shares. The Fund’s Institutional I Shares, which are not offered by this prospectus, commenced operations on July 16, 1993. The Fund’s Class B Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.

These are shown below along with the net expenses the Fund actually paid for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
Total Waivers of Fund Expenses     0.38 %        0.18 %
Total Actual Annual Fund Operating            
Expenses (after waivers)   1.20 %   1.90 %
(2)    The advisor voluntarily waived a portion of the management fee. The advisor can terminate this voluntary waiver at any time. The management fee paid by the Fund (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.60% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(3)   A portion of the distribution (12b-1) fee for the Fund’s Class A Shares has been voluntarily waived. This voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. The distribution (12b-1) fee paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.23% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(4)   All or a portion of the shareholder services fee for the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares has been voluntarily waived. This voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. The shareholder services fee paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.00% and 0.18%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(5)   A portion of the portfolio accounting fee has been voluntarily waived. This voluntary waiver can be terminated at any time. Total other expenses paid by the Fund (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.37% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
(6)   After Class B Shares have been held for eight years from the date of purchase, they will automatically convert to Class A Shares on or about the last day of the following month. Class A Shares pay lower operating expenses than Class B Shares.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class A     1 Year     3 Years     5 Years     10 Years
Expenses assuming                        
redemption   $ 702   $ 1,021   $ 1,363   $ 2,325
Expenses assuming no                        
redemption   $ 702   $ 1,021   $ 1,363   $ 2,325
Class B

Long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund’s Advisor purchases stocks of smaller companies that are in the early stages of development and which the Advisor believes have the potential to achieve substantial long-term earnings growth. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in equity securities of small cap companies. The Fund may also invest a limited percentage of its assets in foreign securities and fixed income securities. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Advisor purchases securities of small-cap U.S. companies with strong earnings growth potential. The Advisor may also purchase stocks of companies that are experiencing unusual, non-repetitive “special” situations (such as mergers or spin-offs) or that have valuable fixed assets whose value is not fully reflected in a stock’s price.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, small cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P Small Cap 600 Index or the Russell 2000 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P Small Cap 600 Index ranged from $40 million to $4.38 billion, and the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000 Index ranged from $68 million to $3.16 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining small cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.
  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.
  • Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign, economic, political or regulatory conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States.

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund’s Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares Average Annual Total Returns, reduced to reflect applicable sales charges, for the calendar periods ended December 31, 2004. Return Before Taxes is shown. In addition, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s Class A Shares to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. The table also shows returns for the Russell 2000 Growth Index (Russell 2000 Growth) and the Russell 2000 Index (Russell 2000), broad-based market indexes and the Lipper Small Cap Growth Funds Average. The Russell 2000 Growth measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000 is an unmanaged index of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark index from Russell 2000 to Russell 2000 Growth because it is more reflective of the Fund’s current investment strategy. The Lipper Small Cap Growth Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the indexes shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

(1)   The Fund’s Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares start of performance dates was July 13, 1995.
(2)     After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. Return After Taxes on Distributions assumes a continued investment in the Fund and shows the effect of taxes on Fund distributions. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares assumes all shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on Fund distributions. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After tax returns for Class B Shares and Class C Shares will differ from those shown above for Class A Shares. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA or 401(k) plans.
(3)   The start of performance date was July 13, 1995. Class A Shares of the Fund were offered beginning May 16, 1996. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum sales charge and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class A Shares. The Fund’s Institutional I Shares, which are not offered by this prospectus, commenced operations on July 13, 1995. The Fund’s Class A Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.
(4)   The start of performance date was July 13, 1995. Class B Shares of the Fund were offered beginning February 20, 2001. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum CDSC and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class B Shares. The Fund’s Institutional I Shares, which are not offered by this prospectus, commenced operations on July 13, 1995. The Fund’s Class B Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.
(5)   The start of performance date was July 13, 1995. Class C Shares of the Fund were offered beginning October 1, 2002. Performance results shown before that date are the Fund’s Institutional I Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum CDSC and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class C Shares. The Fund’s Class C Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional I Shares because shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.

Goal

To seek growth of capital.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund will invest substantially all, but under normal circumstances not less than 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities (primarily common stock) of small cap companies. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities. Stocks purchased by the Fund generally will be traded on established U.S. markets and exchanges. The Advisor utilizes a blended style of investing by allocating and reallocating, for investment management purposes, varying portions of the portfolio between the Fund’s sub-advisors, LSV Asset Management (LSV) (with respect to the value style portion of the portfolio, where LSV looks for companies with relatively low or unrecognized valuations) and Mazama Capital Management, Inc. (Mazama) (with respect to the growth style portion of the portfolio, where Mazama looks for companies which have above-average sales earnings growth).

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, small cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index or the Russell 2000 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index ranged from $40 million to $4.38 billion, and the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000 Index ranged from $68 million to $3.16 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining small cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

The index is unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average. The information presented above, for the periods prior to January 8, 2001, is the historical information for the Governor Aggressive Growth Fund. The quoted performance of the Small Cap Stock Fund includes performance of certain predecessor collective trust funds (commingled) accounts, for the periods dating back to July 1, 1994 and prior to the Small Cap Fund’s commencement of operations February 3, 1997, as adjusted to reflect the expenses associated with the Fund. The commingled accounts were not registered with the SEC and, therefore, were not subject to investment restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the commingled accounts were not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, were not subject to investment restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the commingled accounts had been registered, the commingled accounts performance may have been adversely affected.

(5)   After Class B Shares have been held for eight years from the date of purchase, they will automatically convert to Class A Shares on or about the last day of the following month. Class A Shares pay lower operating expenses than Class B Shares.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class B Shares operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class A     1 Year    3 Years     5 Years    10 Years
Expenses assuming                        
redemption   $ 699   $ 1,013   $ 1,348   $ 2,294
Expenses assuming                        
no redemption   $ 699   $ 1,013   $ 1,348   $ 2,294
Class B                        
Expenses assuming                        
redemption   $ 708   $ 943   $ 1,303   $ 2,251
Expenses assuming                        
no redemption   $ 208   $ 643   $ 1,103   $ 2,251

Principal Securities of the Funds

The following list is a description of the principal securities in which the Funds may invest. More information on the principal and acceptable investments of the Funds is contained in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.

Equity Securities

Equity securities (stocks) represent a share of an issuer’s earnings and assets, after the issuer pays its liabilities. A Fund cannot predict the income it will receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because their value increases directly with the value of the issuer’s business. The following describes the principal types of equity securities in which certain Funds may invest.

Common Stocks

Common stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security. Common stocks receive the issuer’s earnings after the issuer pays its creditors and any preferred stockholders. As a result, changes in an issuer’s earnings directly influence the value of its common stock.

Preferred Stocks

Preferred stocks have the right to receive specified dividends or distributions before the issuer makes payments on its common stock. Some preferred stocks also participate in dividends and distributions paid on common stock.

Preferred stocks may also permit the issuer to redeem the stock. A Fund may also treat such redeemable preferred stock as a fixed income security.

Fixed Income Securities

Fixed income securities (bonds) pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with the issuer’s earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed income securities as compared to equity securities.

A security’s yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a percentage of its price. A security’s yield will increase or decrease depending upon whether it costs less (a discount) or more (a premium) than the principal amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the price and yield on a discount or premium security may change based upon the probability of an early redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have higher yields.

The following describes the principal types of fixed income securities in which a Fund may invest.

Treasury Securities

Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the lowest credit risks.

Agency Securities

Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government sponsored entity (GSE) acting under federal authority. Some GSE securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. These include the Government National Mortgage Association, Small Business Administration, Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation, Farmer’s Home Administration, Federal Financing Bank, General Services Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Export-Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Bonds.

Other GSE securities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. For example, the U.S. Treasury is authorized to purchase specified amounts of securities issued by (or otherwise make funds available to) the Federal Home Loan Bank System, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, Student Loan Marketing Association, and Tennessee Valley Authority in support of such obligations.

A few GSE securities have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. These include the Farm Credit System, Financing Corporation, and Resolution Funding Corporation.

Investors regard agency securities as having low credit risks, but not as low as Treasury securities.

A Fund treats mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by a GSE as if issued or guaranteed by a federal agency. Although such a guarantee protects against credit risks, it does not reduce market and prepayment risks.

Corporate Debt Securities

Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities. A Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

In addition, the credit risk of an issuer’s debt security may vary based on its priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt securities have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated) securities. This means that the issuer might not make payments on subordinated securities while continuing to make payments on senior securities. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy, holders of senior securities may receive amounts otherwise payable to the holders of subordinated securities. Some subordinated securities, such as trust preferred and capital securities notes, also permit the issuer to defer payments under certain circumstances. For example, insurance companies issue securities known as surplus notes that permit the insurance company to defer any payment that would reduce its capital below regulatory requirements.

Mortgage Backed Securities

Mortgage backed securities represent interests in pools of mortgages. The mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates, maturities and other terms. Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest rates. Interests in pools of adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.

Mortgage backed securities come in a variety of forms. Many have extremely complicated terms. The simplest form of mortgage backed securities are pass-through certificates. An issuer of pass-through certificates gathers monthly payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. Then, the issuer deducts its fees and expenses and passes the balance of the payments on to the certificate holders once a month. Holders of pass-through certificates receive a pro rata share of all payments and prepayments from the underlying mortgages. As a result, the holders assume all the prepayment risks of the underlying mortgages.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)

CMOs, including interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs), allocate payments and prepayments from an underlying pass-through certificate among holders of different classes of mortgage-backed securities. This creates different prepayment and interest rate risks for each CMO class.

Asset Backed Securities

Asset backed securities are payable from pools of obligations other than mortgages. Most asset backed securities involve consumer or commercial debts with maturities of less than ten years. However, almost any type of fixed income assets (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create an asset backed security. Asset backed securities may take the form of commercial paper, notes, or pass-through certificates. Asset backed securities have prepayment risks.

Zero Coupon Securities

Zero coupon securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity unlike debt securities that provide periodic payments of interest (referred to as a coupon payment). Investors buy zero coupon securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the amount paid at maturity represents interest on the zero coupon security. Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which increases the interest rate and credit risks of a zero coupon security.

Bank Instruments

Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with banks. Bank instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of deposit and banker’s acceptances. Yankee instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S. branches of foreign banks. Eurodollar instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks.

Commercial Paper

Commercial paper is an issuer’s obligation with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer cannot continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper may default. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and credit risks as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.

Credit Enhancement

Credit enhancement consists of an arrangement in which a company agrees to pay amounts due on a fixed income security if the issuer defaults. In some cases the company providing credit enhancement makes all payments directly to the security holders and receives reimbursement from the issuer. Normally, the credit enhance has greater financial resources and liquidity than the issuer. For this reason, the Advisor usually evaluates the credit risk of a fixed income security based solely upon its credit enhancement.

Convertible Securities

Convertible securities are fixed income securities that a Fund has the option to exchange for equity securities at a specified conversion price. The option allows the Fund to realize additional returns if the market price of the equity securities exceeds the conversion price. For example, a Fund may hold fixed income securities that are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $10 per share. If the market value of the shares of common stock reached $12, the Fund could realize an additional $2 per share by converting its fixed income securities.

Convertible securities have lower yields than comparable fixed income securities. In addition, at the time a convertible security is issued the conversion price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities. Thus, convertible securities may provide lower returns than non-convertible fixed income securities or equity securities depending upon changes in the price of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible securities permit a Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the underlying equity securities with less risk of losing its initial investment. A Fund may invest in convertible securities rated below investment grade. See “Risks Associated with Non-Investment Grade Securities” herein.

International Equity Fund, Small Cap Stock Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund, Multi Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund and Equity Income Fund treat convertible securities as both fixed income and equity securities for purposes of their investment policies and limitations, because of their unique characteristics.

Municipal Securities

<R>

Municipal securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not subject to regular federal income taxes. Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax exempt securities. The market categorizes tax-exempt securities by their source of repayment.

</R>

Tax-Exempt Securities

Tax-exempt securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not subject to regular federal income taxes. Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax-exempt securities. The market categorizes tax-exempt securities by their source of repayment. Interest income on such securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for individuals and corporations.

General Obligation Bonds

General obligation bonds are supported by the issuer’s power to exact property or other taxes. The issuer must impose and collect taxes sufficient to pay principal and interest on the bonds. However, the issuer’s authority to impose additional taxes may be limited by its charter or state law.

Special Revenue Bonds

Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific revenues received by the issuer such as specific taxes, assessments, tolls, or fees. Bondholders may not collect from the municipality’s general taxes or revenues. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to build a toll road, and pledge the tolls to repay the bonds. Therefore, a shortfall in the tolls normally would result in a default on the bonds.

Tax Increment Financing Bonds

Tax increment financing (TIF) bonds are payable from increases in taxes or other revenues attributable to projects financed by the bonds. For example, a municipality may issue TIF bonds to redevelop a commercial area. The TIF bonds would be payable solely from any increase in sales taxes collected from merchants in the area. The bonds could default if merchants’ sales, and related tax collections, failed to increase as anticipated.

Municipal Notes

Municipal notes are short-term tax-exempt securities. Many municipalities issue such notes to fund their current operations before collecting taxes or other municipal revenues. Municipalities may also issue notes to fund capital projects prior to issuing long-term bonds. The issuers typically repay the notes at the end of their fiscal year, either with taxes, other revenues or proceeds from newly issued notes or bonds.

Variable Rate Demand Instruments

Variable rate demand instruments are tax-exempt securities that require the issuer or a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The securities also pay interest at a variable rate intended to cause the securities to trade at their face value. A Fund treats demand instruments as short-term securities, because their variable interest rate adjusts in response to changes in market rates, even though their stated maturity may extend beyond thirteen months.

Foreign Securities

Foreign securities are securities of issuers based outside the United States. An issuer is considered to be based outside the United States if:

  • it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office located in, another country;
  • the principal trading market for its securities is in another country; or
  • it (or its subsidiaries) derived in its most current fiscal year at least 50% of its total assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit from goods produced, services performed, or sales made in another country.

Foreign securities are primarily denominated in foreign currencies. Along with the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same type, foreign securities are subject to currency risks and risks of foreign investing. Trading in certain foreign markets is also subject to liquidity risks.

Depositary Receipts

Depositary receipts represent interests in underlying securities issued by a foreign company. Depositary receipts are not traded in the same market as the underlying security. The foreign securities underlying American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are traded outside the United States. ADRs provide a way to buy shares of foreign-based companies in the United States rather than in overseas markets. ADRs are also traded in U.S. dollars, eliminating the need for foreign exchange transactions. The foreign securities underlying European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and International Depositary Receipts (IDRs), are traded globally or outside the United States. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks of investing directly in foreign securities, including currency risks and risks of foreign investing.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

In order to convert U.S. dollars into the currency needed to buy a foreign security, or to convert foreign currency received from the sale of a foreign security into U.S. dollars, the International Equity Fund (an Underlying Fund) may enter into spot currency trades. In a spot trade, the Fund agrees to exchange one currency for another at the current exchange rate. The Fund may also enter into derivative contracts in which a foreign currency is an underlying asset. The exchange rate for currency derivative contracts may be higher or lower than the spot exchange rate. Use of these derivative contracts may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to currency risks.

Foreign Government Securities

Foreign government securities generally consist of fixed income securities supported by national, state or provincial governments or similar political subdivisions. Foreign government securities also include debt obligations of supranational entities, such as international organizations designed or supported by governmental entities to promote economic reconstruction or development, international banking institutions and related government agencies. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), the Asian Development Bank, the European Investment Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank.

Foreign government securities also include fixed income securities of quasi-governmental agencies that are either issued by entities owned by a national, state or equivalent government or are obligations of a political unit that are not backed by the national government’s full faith and credit. Further, foreign government securities include mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by national, state or provincial governmental instrumentalities, including quasi-governmental agencies.

Derivative Contracts

Derivative contracts are financial instruments that require payments based upon changes in the values of designated (or underlying) securities, currencies, commodities, financial indices or other assets. Some derivative contracts (such as futures, forwards and options) require payments relating to a future trade involving the underlying asset. Other derivative contracts (such as swaps) require payments relating to the income or returns from the underlying asset. The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.

Many derivative contracts are traded on securities or commodities exchanges. In this case, the exchange sets all the terms of the contract except for the price. Investors make payments due under their contracts through the exchange. Most exchanges require investors to maintain margin accounts through their brokers to cover their potential obligations to the exchange. Parties to the contract make (or collect) daily payments to the margin accounts to reflect losses (or gains) in the value of their contracts. This protects investors against potential defaults by the counter-party. Trading contracts on an exchange also allows investors to close out their contracts by entering into offsetting contracts.

For example, International Equity Fund could close out an open contract to buy an asset at a future date by entering into an offsetting contract to sell the same asset on the same date. If the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the Fund realizes a loss. Exchanges may limit the amount of open contracts permitted at any one time. Such limits may prevent the Fund from closing out a position. If this happens, the Fund will be required to keep the contract open (even if it is losing money on the contract), and to make any payments required under the contract (even if it has to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices to do so). Inability to close out a contract could also harm the Fund by preventing it from disposing of or trading any assets it has been using to secure its obligations under the contract.

International Equity Fund may also trade derivative contracts over-the-counter (OTC) in transactions negotiated directly between the Fund and the counterparty. OTC contracts do not necessarily have standard terms, so they cannot be directly offset with other OTC contracts. In addition, OTC contracts with more specialized terms may be more difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.

Depending upon how the Fund uses derivative contracts and the relationships between the market value of a derivative contract and the underlying asset, derivative contracts may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to interest rate and currency risks, and may also expose the Fund to liquidity and leverage risks. OTC contracts also expose the Fund to credit risks in the event that a counterparty defaults on the contract.

International Equity Fund may trade in the following types of derivative contracts.

Futures Contracts

Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price, date, and time. Entering into a contract to buy an underlying asset is commonly referred to as buying a contract or holding a long position in the asset. Entering into a contract to sell an underlying asset is commonly referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position in the asset. Futures contracts are considered to be commodity contracts. Futures contracts traded OTC are frequently referred to as forward contracts.

Special Transactions

Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting a Fund’s return on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest rate on the underlying security. A Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Advisor.

A Fund’s custodian will take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements. The Advisor will monitor the value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.

Non-Investment Grade Securities

Securities rated BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s or Ba or lower by Moody’s are considered to be non-investment grade securities (junk bonds).

Investing In Securities Of Other Investment Companies

A Fund, and each Underlying Fund, may invest their assets in securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the securities of affiliated money market funds, as an efficient means of carrying out their investment policies and managing their uninvested cash. Conservative Growth Fund, Moderate Growth Fund and Aggressive Growth Fund intend to invest substantially all of their assets in Underlying Funds in order to achieve their investment goals.

The shares of most ETFs are listed and traded on stock exchanges at market prices, although some Shares may be redeemable at net asset value for cash or securities. A Fund may invest in ETFs in order to achieve exposure to a specific region, country or market sector, or for other reasons consistent with its investment strategy. As with traditional mutual funds, ETFs charge asset-based fees, although these fees tend to be relatively low. ETFs generally do not charge initial sales charges or redemption fees but investors pay customary brokerage commissions and fees to buy and sell ETF shares.

<R>

Pursuant to an SEC exemptive order, each of the Funds are permitted to invest in shares of the MTB Money Market Funds as a means of managing their uninvested cash. These investments will cause a duplication of expenses. The Advisor may waive certain fees in connection with these investments.

</R>

Other Investment Strategies

Portfolio Turnover (Stock and Bond Funds only)

Each Fund may actively trade its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective. Active trading will cause a Fund to have an increased portfolio turnover rate, which is likely to generate shorter-term gains (losses) for its shareholders, which are taxed at a higher rate than longer-term gains (losses). Actively trading portfolio securities increases a Fund’s trading costs and may have an adverse impact on a Fund’s performance.

Temporary Defensive Investments

<R>

The Funds (except the Managed Allocation Funds and the Equity Index Fund) may temporarily depart from their principal investment strategies by investing their assets in cash and shorter-term debt securities and similar obligations. They may do this to minimize potential losses and maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market conditions. This may cause a Fund to fail to meet its investment objective and to give up greater investment returns to maintain the safety of principal, that is, the original amount invested by shareholders. Interest income from temporary investments may be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

</R>

Investment Ratings For Investment Grade Securities

The Advisor or sub-advisor will determine whether a security is investment grade based upon the credit ratings given by one or more nationally recognized rating services. For example, Standard and Poor’s, a rating service, assigns ratings to investment grade securities (AAA, AA, A, and BBB) based on their assessment of the likelihood of the issuer’s inability to pay interest or principal (default) when due on each security. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon the Advisor’s or sub-advisor’s credit assessment that the security is comparable to investment grade.

Specific Risks of Investing in The Funds

Stock Market Risks

The value of equity securities in a Fund’s portfolio will rise and fall. These fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. A Fund’s portfolio will reflect changes in prices of individual portfolio stocks or general changes in stock valuations. Consequently, a Fund’s share price may decline.

The Advisor or sub-advisor attempts to manage market risk by limiting the amount a Fund invests in each company’s equity securities. However, diversification will not protect a Fund against widespread or prolonged declines in the stock market.

Risks Related To Investing For Growth

Due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more volatile than value stocks. For instance, the price of a growth stock may experience a larger decline on a forecast of lower earnings, a negative fundamental development, or an adverse market development. Further, growth stocks may not pay dividends or may pay lower dividends than value stocks. This means they depend more on price changes for returns and may be more adversely affected in a down market compared to value stocks that pay higher dividends.

Risks Related To Investing For Value

Due to their relatively low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. For instance, the price of a value stock may experience a smaller increase on a forecast of higher earnings, a positive fundamental development, or positive market development. Furthermore, value stocks tend to have higher dividends than growth stocks. This means they depend less on price changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

Risks Related To Company Size

Generally, the smaller the market capitalization of a company, the fewer the number of shares traded daily, the less liquid its stock and the more volatile its price. For example, medium capitalization stocks may be less liquid and more volatile than stocks of larger, well-known companies. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the number of its outstanding shares by the current market price per share.

Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. These factors also increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than companies with larger market capitalizations.

Interest Rate Risks

Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the demand for particular fixed income securities, may cause the price of certain fixed income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or remain unchanged.

Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income securities with longer durations. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to changes in interest rates.

Credit Risks

Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, a Fund will lose money.

Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from services such as Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. These services assign ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon the Advisor’s credit assessment.

Fixed income securities generally compensate for greater credit risk by paying interest at a higher rate. The difference between the yield of a security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity (the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may increase generally in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A security’s spread may also increase if the security’s rating is lowered, or the security is perceived to have an increased credit risk. An increase in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.

Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving a Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause a Fund to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent a Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.

Call Risks

Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a fixed income security before maturity (a call) at a price below its current market price. An increase in the likelihood of a call may reduce the security’s price.

If a fixed income security is called, a Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in other fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher credit risks, or other less favorable characteristics.

Prepayment Risks

Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time without penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance high interest rate mortgages when mortgage rates fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage backed securities with higher interest rates.

Conversely, prepayments due to refinancings decrease when mortgage rates increase. This extends the life of mortgage backed securities with lower interest rates. Other economic factors can also lead to increases or decreases in prepayments. Increases in prepayments of high interest rate mortgage backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of lower interest rate mortgage backed securities, may reduce their yield and price. These factors, particularly the relationship between interest rates and mortgage prepayments makes the price of mortgage backed securities more volatile than many other types of fixed income securities with comparable credit risks.

Mortgage backed securities generally compensate for greater prepayment risk by paying a higher yield. The difference between the yield of a mortgage backed security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity (the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may increase generally in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A security’s spread may also increase if the security is perceived to have an increased prepayment risk or perceived to have less market demand. An increase in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.

A Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds of mortgage prepayments in other fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher prepayment risks, or other less favorable characteristics.

Tax Risks

<R>

In order to be tax-exempt, municipal securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and New York Municipal Bond Fund to their shareholders to be taxable.

</R>

Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of municipal securities to fall.

<R>

Income from Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and New York Municipal Bond Fund, may be subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT).

</R>

Risks Of Non-Diversification

<R>

Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and New York Municipal Bond Fund are non-diversified. Compared to diversified mutual funds, each of these Funds may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities. This increases a Fund’s risk by magnifying the impact (positively or negatively) that any one issuer has on a Fund’s Share price and performance.

</R>

Risks Associated With Non-Investment Grade Securities

The securities in which a Fund may invest may be rated below investment grade. Securities rated below investment grade may be subject to the same risks as those inherent in corporate debt obligations that are rated below investment grade, also known as junk bonds. Junk bonds generally entail greater market, credit and liquidity risks than investment grade securities. For example, their prices are more volatile, economic downturns and financial setbacks may affect their prices more negatively, and their trading market may be more limited.

Maryland Investment Risks

Maryland Municipal Bond Fund emphasizes investments in Maryland and is more subject to events that may adversely affect Maryland issuers compared to funds that invest in multiple states.

Maryland’s economy is relatively diversified across the service, trade and government sectors. The high proportion of federal government jobs, which contributes to high wealth levels, made the state vulnerable to the recession and concurrent federal downsizing in the early 1990’s; however, Maryland’s economic growth rate has improved and is nearing the national average.

New York Investment Risks

<R>

New York Municipal Bond Fund emphasizes investments in New York and is subject to events that may adversely affect New York issuers compared to funds that invest in multiple states. New York’s economy is large and diverse. While several upstate counties benefit from agriculture, manufacturing and high technology industries, New York City nonetheless still dominates the State’s economy through its international importance in economic sectors such as advertising, finance, and banking. Any major changes to the financial conditions of New York City would ultimately have an effect on the State.

Yields on New York municipal securities depend on a variety of factors, including: the general conditions of the short-term municipal note market and the municipal bond market; the size of the particular offering; the maturity of the obligations; and the rating of the issue. Further, any adverse economic conditions or developments affecting the State, counties, municipalities or City of New York could impact New York Municipal Bond Fund’s portfolio. The ability of this Fund to achieve its investment goals also depends on the continuing ability of the issuers of New York municipal securities and participation interests, or the guarantors of either, to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due.

</R>

Additionally, the tragic events of September 11, 2001 may have adverse short-term or long-term economic effects on New York City.

Pennsylvania Investment Risks

<R>

Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund emphasizes investments in Pennsylvania and is more subject to events that may adversely affect Pennsylvania issuers.

</R>

Pennsylvania’s economy historically has been dependent upon heavy industry, but has diversified recently into various services, particularly into medical and health services, education and financial services. Agricultural industries continue to be an important part of the economy, including not only the production of diversified food and livestock products, but substantial economic activity in agribusiness and food-related industries. Service industries currently employ the greatest share of nonagricultural workers, followed by the categories of trade and manufacturing. Future economic difficulties in any of these industries could have an adverse impact on the finances of the Commonwealth or its municipalities, and could adversely affect the market value of the Pennsylvania exempt securities in the Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund or the ability of the respective obligors to make payments of interest and principal due on such Securities.

Risks Of Foreign Investing

Foreign securities pose additional risks because foreign economic or political conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States. Securities in foreign markets may also be subject to taxation policies that reduce returns for U.S. investors.

Foreign companies may not provide information (including financial statements) as frequently or to as great an extent as companies in the United States. Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than United States companies by market analysts and the financial press. In addition, foreign countries may lack uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or regulatory requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. These factors may prevent International Equity Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund and its Advisor and sub-advisor from obtaining information concerning foreign companies that is as frequent, extensive and reliable as the information available concerning companies in the United States.

Foreign countries may have restrictions on foreign ownership of securities or may impose exchange controls, capital flow restrictions or repatriation restrictions which could adversely affect the liquidity of a Fund’s investments.

Currency Risks

Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. The combination of currency risk and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile than securities traded exclusively in the U.S.

<R>

Tracking Error Risk

</R>

Factors such as the Equity Index Fund’s expenses, imperfect correlation between the fund’s investments and those of its benchmarks, rounding of share prices, changes to the benchmark, regulatory policies, and leverage may affect its ability to achieve perfect correlation with its benchmarks. The magnitude of any tracking error may be affected by a higher portfolio turnover rate. Because an index is just a composite of the prices of the securities it represents rather than an actual portfolio of those securities, an index will have no expenses. As a result, Equity Index Fund, which will have expenses such as custody, management fees and other operational costs, and brokerage expenses, may not achieve its investment objective of accurately correlating to an index.

Asset Allocation Risk

<R>

The Balanced Fund is subject to the risk that the Advisor’s asset allocation decisions between equity securities, on the one hand, and fixed income securities, on the other hand, will not anticipate market trends successfully. For example, investing too heavily in common stocks during a stock market decline may result in a failure to preserve capital. Conversely, investing too heavily in fixed income securities during a period of stock market appreciation may result in lower total returns.

</R>

Exchange-Traded Funds

An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange traded) that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate up or down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional funds: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade above or below their net asset value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (iii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.

Fund Expenses

Mutual fund portfolios bear charges for advisory fees and operational expenses. The Managed Allocation Funds and the Underlying Funds in which they invest each bear these expenses, so investors in the Managed Allocation Funds may bear higher expenses than a fund that invests directly in equity, fixed income or money market securities.

Each Managed Allocation Fund is subject to affiliated persons risk. In managing the Managed Allocation Funds, the Advisor has the authority to select and substitute the underlying funds in which the Managed Allocation Funds will invest. The Advisor is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating Fund assets among the various Underlying Funds both because the fees payable to it and/or its affiliates by some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees payable by other Underlying Funds and because the Advisor is also primarily responsible for managing the Underlying Funds. The Trustees and officers of the Funds may also have conflicting interests in fulfilling their fiduciary duties to both the Funds and the Underlying Funds.

Pursuant to an SEC exemptive order, the Funds are permitted to invest in shares of the Money Market Funds as a means of managing uninvested cash. These investments will cause a duplication of expenses. The Advisor may waive certain fees in connection with these investments.

How Are Shares Priced?

<R>

The Trust offers seven classes of Shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares and Institutional II Shares. All Share classes have different sales charges and other expenses, which affect their performance. Each Share class represents interests in a single portfolio of securities. This prospectus relates only to Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares as shown in the chart below. The differences between the three classes relate to the timing and amount of asset-based sales charges and other expenses which an investor bears directly or indirectly as a shareholder. Contact your financial intermediary or call the MTB Group of Funds (MTB Funds) at 800-836-2211 for more information about Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares, Institutional II Shares and Class S Shares.

Bond, Balanced, and Stock Funds

X X

</R>

The NAV of Shares of the Bond, Balanced and Stock Funds fluctuates and is generally based upon the market value of portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund. The NAV is determined at the end of regular trading of the NYSE, which is generally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) but may vary due to market circumstances or other reasons (NYSE Close) on each day the NYSE is open. Equity securities are generally valued according to the last sale price in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter (OTC) market). Fixed income securities are generally valued according to the mean between bid and asked prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost. Futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the OTC market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the NYSE Close. In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the NYSE Close. Certain foreign currency exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the NYSE Close. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the NYSE Close. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value determined in good faith by the Fund’s Board, although the actual calculation may be done by others. If a Fund owns foreign securities that trade in foreign markets on days the NYSE is closed, or if the NYSE closes earlier than 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, the value of these securities, and therefore the Fund’s assets, may change on days or at times you cannot purchase, redeem or exchange Shares of such Fund. In all cases, the Funds’ Board may determine in good faith that another method of valuing investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value.

<R>

A Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Fund’s Advisor determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a dealer or independent pricing service is inaccurate.

</R>

Fair valuation procedures are also used when a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which is when the Fund’s NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Significant events include significant general securities market movements occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For domestic fixed income securities, such events may occur where the cut-off time for the market information used by the independent pricing service is earlier than the end of regular trading on the NYSE. For securities normally priced at their last sale price in a foreign market, such events can occur between the close of trading in the foreign market and the close of trading on the NYSE. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time when the NAV is calculated.

In some cases, events affecting the issuer of a portfolio security may be considered significant events. Examples of potentially significant events include announcements concerning earnings, acquisitions, new products, management changes, litigation developments, a strike or natural disaster affecting the company’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities of foreign issuers, such events could also include political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which the issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded.

The Funds’ Board has authorized the use of an independent fair valuation service to monitor changes in a designated U.S. market index after foreign markets close, and to implement a fair valuation methodology to adjust the closing prices of foreign securities if the movement in the index is significant.

There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In the case of fair valued portfolio securities, lack of information and uncertainty as to the significance of information may lead to a conclusion that a prior valuation is the best indication of a portfolio security’s present value. Fair valuations generally remain unchanged until new information becomes available. Consequently, changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations. Fair valuation determinations often involve the consideration of a number of subjective factors, and the fair value price may be higher or lower than a readily available market quotation.

To the extent any fund invests in other investment companies, the prospectuses for those companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

</R>

The following reductions and eliminations of sales charges apply only to Class A Shares.

The sales charge at purchase may be reduced by:

  • purchasing Shares in greater quantities to reduce the applicable sales charge (purchases made at one time by a trustee or fiduciary for a single trust estate or a single fiduciary account can be combined);
  • combining concurrent purchases of Shares:
    - by you, your spouse, and your children under age 21; or
    - of the same share class of two or more MTB Funds (other than money market funds);
  • accumulating purchases (in calculating the sales charge on an additional purchase, include the current value of previous Share purchases still invested in the Fund); or
  • signing a Letter of Intent (LOI) committing to purchase a certain dollar amount of the same class of Shares within a 13 month period to combine such purchases in calculating the sales charge. The Fund’s custodian will hold Shares in escrow equal to the maximum applicable sales charge. If you complete the LOI, the custodian will release the Shares in escrow to your account. If you do not fulfill the LOI, the custodian will redeem the appropriate amount from the Shares held in escrow to pay the sales charges that were not applied to your purchases.

The sales charge may be eliminated when you purchase Shares:

  • by exchanging Shares from the same share class of another MTB Fund (other than a money market fund);
  • through wrap accounts or other investment programs where you pay the investment professional directly for services;
  • through investment professionals that receive no portion of the sales charge;
  • as a current or retired/former Trustee, Director or employee of the Fund, the Advisor, the Distributor, the Sub-advisor and their affiliates, M&T Bank Corporation and their subsidiaries and the immediate family members of these individuals. (Immediate family member is defined as any parent, spouse of a parent, child, spouse of a child, spouse, brother or sister, and includes step and adoptive relationships of these people) because there are nominal sales efforts associated with their purchases;
  • as an employee of a dealer which has a selling group agreement with the Distributor and consents to such purchases;
  • as clients of the M&T Capital Advisers and Trust Groups of M&T Bank; or
  • as an investor referred by any sub-advisor to the Funds.

If your investment qualifies for a reduction or elimination of the sales charge, you or your financial intermediary must notify the Fund’s Distributor, Edgewood Services Inc., or MTB Funds Shareholder Services at time of purchase. If the Distributor or MTB Funds Shareholder Services is not notified at the time of purchase, you may receive the reduced sales charge only on additional purchases, and not retroactively on previous purchases.

Sales Charge When You Redeem Class B Shares or Class C Shares

<R>

Class B Shares and Class C Shares are not subject to front-end sales charges. Orders for $100,000 or more of Class B Shares or $1 million or more of Class C Shares will be invested in Class A Shares instead of Class B Shares or Class C Shares to maximize your returns and minimize sales charges and marketing fees. Class B Shares and Class C Shares are subject to CDSCs.

</R>

Your redemption proceeds with respect to Class B Shares may be reduced by a sales charge, commonly referred to as a CDSC if you redeem them within the following times from the purchase date:

<R>

SHARES HELD UP TO:
CLASS B SHARES—CDSC

5 years
2.00%

6 years
1.00%

7 years or more
0.00%

</R>

Class B Shares convert to Class A Shares (which pay lower ongoing expenses) eight years after purchase. This is a non-taxable event.

Class B Shares acquired in exchanges will continue to remain subject to the CDSC, if applicable, until the applicable holding period expires.

You will be charged a 1.00% CDSC (except as noted below) when redeeming Class C Shares within one year of purchase.

You will not be charged a CDSC when redeeming Shares:

  • purchased with reinvested dividends or capital gains;

<R>

  • if you exchange Class B Shares into the Class B Shares of another MTB Fund where the Shares were held for the applicable CDSC holding period;

</R>

  • purchased through financial intermediaries who did not receive advanced sales commission payments;
  • if, after you purchase Shares, you become disabled, as defined by the IRS;
  • if the redemption qualified under the Systematic Withdrawal Program;
  • if the Fund redeems your Shares and closes your account for not meeting the minimum balance requirement;
  • if your redemption is a required retirement plan distribution;
  • representing minimum required distributions from an Individual Retirement Account or other retirement plan to a shareholder who has attained the age of 70 1/2; or
  • upon the death of the last surviving shareholder of the account.

If your redemption qualifies, you or your financial intermediary should notify the Distributor or the Funds at the time of redemption to eliminate the CDSC. If the Distributor or the Funds are not notified, the CDSC will apply.

To keep the sales charge as low as possible, the Fund redeems your Shares in this order:

<R>

  • Shares that are not subject to a CDSC (which would include any Class A Shares into which Class B Shares were converted); and

</R>

  • Shares held the longest (to determine the number of years your Class B Shares have been held, include the time you held Class B shares of other MTB Funds that have been exchanged for Shares of this Fund).

The CDSC is then calculated using the share price at time of purchase or redemption, whichever is lower.

Keep in mind that financial intermediaries may charge you additional fees for their services in connection with your Share transactions.

How to Purchase, Redeem, and Exchange Shares

When the NYSE is open for business, you may purchase, redeem, or exchange Shares by phone, mail, or wire through your financial intermediary or MTB Funds, subject to daily cutoff times. Your order will be processed at the next calculated NAV, plus any sales charges or less any CDSC as applicable, after your order request is received by the Fund or its designated agent in proper form. The NYSE is closed on weekends and on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Purchases and redemptions by wire will not be available on days the Federal Reserve wire system is closed. In addition to the scheduled NYSE holidays noted above, the Federal Reserve wire system is scheduled to be closed on the following days: Columbus Day and Veterans’ Day. The Funds do not issue share certificates and they reserve the right to reject any purchase request for any reason.

Through Your Financial Intermediary

Shareholders normally purchase Shares through investment professionals and different types of customer accounts at financial intermediaries. You should read this prospectus together with any agreements between you and your financial intermediary to learn about procedures to follow, the services provided, the fees charged for those services, required earlier cutoff times than shown in this prospectus, and any restrictions and limitations imposed.

To purchase Shares of a Fund for the first time, complete and sign a new account application, selecting one of the Payment Methods below. Mail your application to MTB Funds to establish your new account.

<R>

Minimum Initial Investment Amount:   $500

Minimum Subsequent Investment Amount:   $25

Minimum Balance   $250

</R>

The minimum initial and subsequent investment amounts may be waived or lowered from time to time. An investor’s minimum investment will be calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the Funds provided the investor identifies its other Fund accounts at the time of investment. Employees of M&T Bank and its affiliates are exempt from the minimums stated above.

Accounts With Low Balances

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, non-retirement accounts may be closed if redemptions or exchanges cause the account balance to fall below $250. Before an account is closed, you will be notified and allowed 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum account balance required.

Payment Methods

Payment may be made by check, Federal Reserve System wire, or Automated Clearing House (ACH). Where a Fund offers more than one Share class and you do not specify the class choice on your form of payment, you automatically will receive Class A Shares. Each payment must be accompanied by your name, the Fund’s name and Share class, and your account number (if established).

By Check

Make your check payable to (Name of the Fund and Class of Shares) and mail it to MTB Funds along with your application. Current shareholders can purchase additional Shares by sending a check to MTB Funds accompanied by purchase instructions.

<R>

Purchase orders by mail for non-Money Market Funds are considered received after payment by check has been converted into federal funds. This is normally the next business day after the check is received. However, payment may be delayed up to seven business days to allow your purchase payment to clear.

</R>

The Funds do not accept cash, money orders, credit cards, travelers checks, counter checks, or third party checks (for example, checks made payable to a third party and endorsed over to MTB Funds or checks made payable to the MTB Funds by a party other than the shareholder of record).

By Federal Reserve System Wire

Once your account is established, ask your bank to wire money to the Fund’s custodian bank, accompanied by purchase instructions. For additional purchases, wire your money with instructions. Wire orders will only be accepted on days on which the Funds, M&T Bank, and the Federal Reserve wire system are open for business. Some financial institutions may charge a fee for wire services. The Funds also reserve the right to charge a processing fee for wire transfers. Below is a chart that shows the different cutoff times for processing Fund purchases and what it means to you. The Funds are not responsible for delays in the receipt of wires.

By ACH

Once your account is established, transfer money via ACH from your checking or NOW deposit account to your Fund account. Since ACH transfers overnight, you will not begin earning dividends until the next business day.

Systematic Investment Program

Once you have opened a Fund account, you can add to your investment on a regular basis in amounts of $25 or more through automatic deductions from your checking or NOW deposit account. To sign up for this program, please call MTB Funds for an application.

Employees of M&T Bank and its affiliates are not subject to a minimum investment amount.

Redeeming Shares

To redeem shares you must provide us with your name, the Fund’s name and Share class, your account number, the number of shares or dollar amount you wish to redeem, and your choice of Payment Option. If you do not specify a Payment Option, a check will be mailed to you at your address of record. Redemption requests for Shares held through an IRA account must be made by mail and not by phone.

By Phone

Call MTB Funds. You are automatically eligible to make phone redemptions unless you decline the privilege at the time you open your account. It is recommended that you provide the necessary information for the phone redemption option on your initial application. If you do not do this and later wish to take advantage of the phone redemption privilege, call MTB Funds for authorization forms.

By Mail

Send your written request to MTB Funds.

Payment Options

You may receive your redemption proceeds by check, Federal Reserve System wire, or ACH transfer to your designated bank account.

By Check

Normally, a check for redemption proceeds is mailed within one business day after your redemption order is received, but in no event more than seven business days after receipt of a proper redemption request.

By Federal Reserve System Wire

Wire transfers of redemption proceeds can only be made on days on which the Federal Reserve wire system, M&T Bank, and the Funds are open for business. Certain financial institutions may charge a fee for the receipt of wire transfers. The Funds also reserve the right to charge a processing fee for wire transfers.

By ACH

You may have redemption proceeds sent directly to your checking or NOW deposit account via ACH transfer from the Fund. If you place your order by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time), you will receive that day’s closing NAV and any dividends earned that day. Since ACH transfers are processed overnight, you will not receive redemption proceeds until the second business day.

Systematic Withdrawal Program

You may automatically redeem Shares in a minimum amount of $50 on a regular basis. Your account must be worth at least $10,000 at the time the program is established (multiple Class B Share accounts cannot be aggregated to meet this minimum balance). This program may reduce, and eventually deplete, your account. Payments should not be considered yield or income. Generally, it is not advisable to continue to purchase Class A or Class C Shares subject to a sales charge while redeeming Shares using this program. For more information and an application form for this program call MTB Funds.

Generally, Class B Shares and Class C Shares systematically withdrawn will be subject to CDSC. However, a CDSC will not be charged on systematic redemptions of Class B Shares or Class C Shares if:

  • Shares redeemed are 12% or less of the account value in a single year. In measuring the redemption percentage, your account is valued when you establish the sytematic redemption program and then annually at calendar year-end; and
  • the account is at least one year old; and
  • all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested.

Additional Conditions

Signature Guarantees

You must have a signature guarantee (STAMP 2000 Medallion Guarantee) on written redemption requests:

  • when you are requesting a redemption of $50,000 or more;
  • when you want a redemption to be sent to an address other than the one you have on record with the Fund; or
  • when you want the redemption payable to someone other than the shareholder of record.

Your signature can be guaranteed by any federally insured financial institution (such as a bank or credit union) or a broker-dealer that is a domestic stock exchange member, but not by a notary public.

Limitations on Redemption Proceeds

Redemption proceeds are normally transmitted within one business day (or sooner, as described under “Payment Options”) after receiving a request in proper form. However, payment may be delayed up to seven days:

  • to allow your purchase payment to clear;
  • during periods of market volatility; or
  • when a shareholder’s trade activity or amount adversely impacts a Fund’s ability to manage its assets.

Redemption In Kind

Although the Funds intend to pay Share redemptions in cash, each Fund reserves the right to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

Redemption From Retirement Accounts

In the absence of your specific instructions, 10% of the value of your redemption from a retirement account in a Fund may be withheld for taxes. This withholding only applies to certain types of retirement accounts.

Exchanging Shares

You may exchange Shares of a Fund for the same Share class of another MTB Fund. All exchange requests must include your name and account number, the Fund’s name and Share class, the number of shares or dollar amount you wish to exchange and the name of the Fund into which the exchange is to be made.

In order to exchange Shares you must submit your request in proper form and:

  • meet the minimum initial investment requirements (if the exchange results in the establishment of a new account);
  • establish an account in the Fund you want to acquire if you do not have an account in that Fund;
  • ensure that the account registrations are identical;
  • receive a prospectus for the Fund into which you wish to exchange; and
  • only exchange into a Fund that may be legally sold in your state of residence.

An exchange is treated as a redemption and subsequent purchase and is a taxable transaction. The Funds may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time, and shareholders will be notified prior to any modification or termination.

Class A Share Exchanges

Exchanges at NAV

If you exchange between Funds with different sales charges, the exchange will be made at NAV. However, you would pay applicable sales charges when exchanging Shares from one of the Money Market Funds into one of the Bond, Balanced, or Stock Funds.

If you paid a sales charge once (including Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains), you will not have to pay the sales charge again upon exchange. This is true even if you exchange out of a Fund with a sales charge, then into a Fund without a sales charge and back into a Fund with a sales charge.

Exchanges Subject to a Sales Charge

If you purchased into a Fund without a sales charge, and exchange into a Fund with a sales charge, you will be assessed the applicable sales charge when you make the exchange. However, the sales charge will not be applied to any Shares that you acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Dividends of the Class A Shares of the Money Market Funds can be reinvested into Class A Shares of any other MTB Fund at NAV at time of payment.

Class B Share Exchanges

You may exchange Class B Shares from one Fund to Class B Shares of another at NAV without any sales charge. The time you held the original Class B Shares will be added to the time you held the exchanged-for Class B Shares for purposes of calculating any applicable CDSC when you ultimately redeem those Shares.

By Phone

Frequent Trading Policies

Frequent or short-term trading into and out of a Fund can have adverse consequences for the Fund and shareholders who use the Fund as a long-term investment vehicle. Such trading in significant amounts can disrupt the Fund’s investment strategies (e.g., by requiring it to sell investments at inopportune times or maintain excessive short-term or cash positions to support redemptions), increase brokerage and administrative costs, and affect the timing and amount of taxable gains distributed by the Fund. Investors engaged in such trading may also seek to profit by anticipating changes in the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time as of which NAV is calculated or through an overall strategy to buy and sell Shares in response to incremental changes in the Fund’s NAV.

The Funds’ Board has approved policies and procedures intended to discourage excessive, frequent or short-term trading of the Funds’ Shares. The Funds’ fair valuation procedures are intended in part to discourage short-term trading strategies by reducing the potential for these strategies to succeed. See “How are Shares Priced?” The Funds also monitor trading in Shares in an effort to identify disruptive trading activity. The Funds monitor trades into and out of the Funds within a period of 30 days or less, where both the purchase and sale are at least $100,000. The Funds may also monitor trades into and out of the Funds over periods longer than 30 days. Whether or not the specific monitoring limits are exceeded, the Funds’ management or Adviser may determine from the amount, frequency or pattern of purchases and redemptions or exchanges that a shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is or could be detrimental to the Funds and other shareholders and may preclude the shareholder from making further purchases or exchanges of Shares. The Funds’ management and Adviser may also take action to suspend further trading by a financial intermediary if it is deemed to be engaged in excessive trading and/or does not cooperate satisfactorily with requests for details about trading activity. No matter how the Funds define their limits on frequent trading of Shares, other purchases and sales of Shares may have adverse effects on the management of a Fund’s portfolio and its performance. Also, it is possible that frequent trading may occur in the Funds without being identified because certain investors may seek to hide their identity or trading activity, or there may be operational or technical limitations that limit the Funds’ ability to monitor and restrict frequent trading.

<R>

The Funds’ frequent trading restrictions do not apply to purchases and sales of Shares of MTB Funds (“Underlying Funds”) by the MTB Managed Allocation Funds. The MTB Managed Allocation Funds impose the same frequent trading restrictions as the Underlying Funds at their shareholder level. In addition, allocation changes of the investing MTB Managed Allocation Fund are monitored, and the managers of the Underlying Fund must determine that there is no material adverse impact on the Underlying Fund or its shareholders. The intent of this exception is to allow managers of the MTB Managed Allocation Funds to accommodate cash flows that result from non-abusive trading in the MTB Managed Allocation Funds, and to reallocate portfolio investments of MTB Managed Allocation Funds among various Underlying Funds in accordance with the investment objectives of the MTB Managed Allocation Funds, without being stopped from such trading because the aggregate of such trades exceeds the monitoring limits. Nevertheless, as with any trading in Fund Shares, purchases and redemptions of Underlying Fund Shares by the MTB Managed Allocation Funds could adversely affect the management of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio and its performance.

</R>

The Funds’ objective is that their restrictions on short-term trading should apply to all shareholders, regardless of the number or type of accounts in which Shares are held. However, the Funds anticipate that limitations on their ability to identify trading activity to specific shareholders, including where shares are held through financial intermediaries in multiple or omnibus accounts, will mean that these restrictions may not be able to be applied uniformly in all cases. For example, while the Funds will seek the cooperation of financial intermediaries to enforce the Funds’ policies on frequent trading, certain intermediaries may be unwilling or unable to implement such policies. Therefore, the Funds may be unable to uniformly monitor and restrict trading activity through such intermediaries. Also, because certain of the Funds are sold to participant-directed employee benefit plans, and there may be regulatory constraints on the plans’ ability to limit trading by the individual participants, the Funds may not be able to effectively monitor or restricting trading by these participants.

The Adviser will provide to the Funds’ Board a quarterly report of all potential occurrences which were detected during the preceding quarter, and a description of any action taken with respect thereto.

Account And Share Information

Corporate Resolutions

Corporations and certain other organizations may be required to furnish evidence of the authority of persons designated on the account application to effect transactions on behalf of the organization.

Confirmations And Account Statements

You will receive confirmation of purchases, redemptions and exchanges (except systematic transactions). Shareholders also will receive quarterly statements reporting all account activity, including systematic transactions, dividends and capital gains paid.

Retirement Investments

Shares of the Funds can be purchased as an investment for retirement plans or IRA accounts. You may be subject to an annual IRA account fee. Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and New York Municipal Bond Fund are generally not appropriate for retirement plans or IRA accounts. For further details, contact MTB Funds and consult a tax advisor.

Distribution of Fund Shares

Edgewood Services, Inc. (Distributor), whose address is 5800 Corporate Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15237, serves as the Distributor of the Funds offered by this Prospectus. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc.

The Fund’s Distributor markets the Shares described in this prospectus to institutions or individuals, directly or through a financial intermediary that has an agreement with the Distributor. When the Distributor receives marketing fees and sales charges, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries. The Distributor and its affiliates may pay out of their assets other amounts (including items of material value) to financial intermediaries for marketing and servicing Shares. Financial intermediaries include the Advisor and its affiliates. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated). You should consult your financial intermediary to determine what types of compensation it may receive for selling Fund shares.

The Distributor may, from time to time in its sole discretion, institute one or more promotional incentive programs for dealers, which will be paid for by the Distributor from any sales charge it receives or from any other sources available to it, including amounts made available by the Distributor’s affiliate (Federated Services Company), and the Advisor and its affiliates out of their reasonable profits and other resources. Under any such program, the Distributor may provide cash or non-cash compensation as recognition for past sales or encouragement for future sales that may include the following: merchandise, travel expenses, prizes, meals, and lodgings, and gifts that do not exceed $100 per year, per individual.

Rule 12b-1 Plans

<R>

The Funds have adopted a Rule 12b-1 Plan on behalf of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares, which allows them to pay distribution fees to financial intermediaries (which may be paid through the Distributor) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds for Class A Shares and up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Funds for Class B Shares and Class C Shares, for the sale, distribution, administration, customer servicing and recordkeeping of these Shares. These fees may be paid to the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates. In the case of Class B Shares and Class C Shares, the Plan may also be used to compensate the Distributor, the Advisor, a sub-advisor, their affiliates or financial intermediaries for commissions advanced on the sale of those Shares. The Funds may waive or reduce the maximum amount of Rule 12b-1 fees they pay from time to time in their sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including the Distributor, the Advisor or their affiliates) may voluntarily waive or reduce any fees to which they may be entitled. Because these Shares pay marketing fees on an ongoing basis, your investment cost may be higher over time than other shares with different sales charges and marketing fees.

</R>

Shareholder Services

The Funds have adopted a Shareholder Services Plan on behalf of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares, which is administered by Federated Services Company to pay service fees to financial intermediaries (which may include the Distributor, the Advisor or their affiliates). M&T Securities, Inc. (M&T Securities) and other financial intermediaries are entitled to receive a shareholder services fee for acting as shareholder servicing agent for the Funds, providing shareholder assistance, communicating or facilitating purchases and redemptions of Shares, and distributing prospectuses and other information.

Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries

The Distributor and its affiliates (including Federated Services Company) may pay out of their own reasonable resources and profits amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries (which may include the Advisor and its affiliates) to support the sale of Shares or provide services to Fund shareholders. The Advisor and its affiliates may pay out of their own reasonable resources and profits amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries (including the Distributor and Federated Services Company) to support the sale of Shares or provide services to the Fund shareholders. The amounts of these payments could be significant, and may create an incentive for the financial intermediaries or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell Shares of the Fund to you. These payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table section of the Funds’ prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

These payments are negotiated and may be based on such factors as the number or value of Shares that the financial intermediary sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; or the type and nature of services or support furnished by the financial intermediary. These payments may be in addition to payments made by the Fund to the financial intermediary under a Rule 12b-1 Plan and/or shareholder service fee arrangement. You can ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor, the Advisor, their affiliates, or the Fund and any services the financial intermediary provides. The SAI contains additional information on the types of additional payments that may be paid.

</R>

Only shareholders of a Fund on the record date are entitled to receive payments of dividends and/or capital gains.

In addition, each Fund intends to pay any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares without a sales charge, unless you elect cash payments.

If you purchase Shares just before a Fund declares a dividend (other than a Fund that declares dividends daily) or capital gain distribution, you will pay the full price for the Shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a distribution, whether or not you reinvest the distribution in Shares. Therefore, you should consider the tax implications of purchasing Shares shortly before a Fund declares a dividend or capital gain.

Tax Information

The Funds send you an annual statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in a Fund. Tax information will be mailed to you on or before January 31 each year. Capital gains distributions are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time a Fund holds its assets.

The Funds’ distributions are expected to be as follows:

It is anticipated that distributions for New York Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, and Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, will be primarily dividends that are exempt from federal income tax, although a portion of each Fund’s dividends may not be exempt. Dividends may be subject to state and local taxes, although each of these Funds’ dividends will be exempt from New York, Pennsylvania or Maryland state personal income tax to the extent that they are derived from interest on obligations exempt from New York, Pennsylvania or Maryland personal income taxes, respectively.

Redemptions and exchanges are taxable sales. Capital gains and non-exempt dividends are taxable whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your federal, state, and local tax liability.

Who Manages The Funds?

The Board of Trustees (the Board) governs the Funds. The Board selects and oversees the Advisor, MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. (“MTBIA”), a subsidiary of M&T Bank. The Advisor manages each Fund’s assets, including buying and selling portfolio securities. The Advisor’s address is 100 E. Pratt Street, 17th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202.

<R>

M&T Bank is the principal banking subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation, a regional bank holding company in existence since 1969. M&T Bank was founded in 1892 and provides comprehensive banking and financial services to individuals, governmental entities and businesses throughout New York State, Pennsylvania, Maryland and parts of Virginia, West Virginia, the District of Columbia and Delaware. As of June 30, 2005, M&T Bank Corporation had over $54.5 billion in assets under management. MTBIA and entities affiliated with MTBIA or its predecessors have served as investment advisor to MTB Funds since 1988 and, as of June 30, 2005, it managed approximately $11.1 billion in assets. As part of its regular banking operations, M&T Bank may make loans to public companies. Thus, it may be possible, from time to time, for the Funds to hold or acquire the securities of issuers which are also lending clients of M&T Bank. The lending relationship will not be a factor in the selection of securities.

LSV ASSET MANAGEMENT MID CAP VALUE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following table presents the past performance of a composite of certain accounts managed by LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), which serves as the subadviser to the value style portion of the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund. The LSV Mid Cap Value composite is composed of all fee paying accounts under discretionary management by LSV in LSV’s mid cap value investment strategy that have investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the value style portion of the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund. LSV has prepared the gross performance data for the composite shown in the table in compliance with the Performance Presentation Standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR-PPS®), the U.S. and Canadian version of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). AIMR has not been involved in the preparation or review of this report. The AIMR method for computing historical performance differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s method. Because the gross performance data shown in the table does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees paid by the accounts comprising the composite and certain other expenses which would be applicable to mutual funds, the net performance data may be more relevant to potential investors in the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund in their analysis of the historical experience of LSV in managing all mid cap value portfolios with investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the value style portion of the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund. To calculate the performance of the composite net of all operating expenses, the annual fund operating expenses payable by the Class A Shares and Class B Shares of MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were used. In addition, for the Average Annual Total Return Tables, the composite is presented net of the maximum sales charge that applies to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively.

The historical performance of the LSV Mid Cap Value composite is not that of any of the MTB Funds, including MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund, and is not necessarily indicative of any Fund’s future results. MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund commenced operations on July 1, 1994, and LSV commenced managing the value style portion of the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund on December 8, 2004. The actual performance of the value style portion of the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund (which is not presented in this prospectus) may vary significantly from the past performance of the composite. Moreover, MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance presented in the prospectus varies and will continue to vary significantly from the past performance of the composite because (i) MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance for the period December 8, 2004 through December 31, 2004 reflects both the performance of the value style portion of the Fund, as well as the performance of the growth style portion of the Fund (which is managed by MTBIA); and (ii) the Fund’s actual performance for the period prior to December 8, 2004 was managed in a single unitary investment style by a single adviser. While the accounts comprising the composite incur inflows and outflows of cash from clients, there can be no assurance that the continuous offering of a fund’s shares and a fund’s obligation to redeem its shares will not adversely impact the fund’s performance. Also, the accounts comprising the composite are not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Internal Revenue Code. If these limitations, requirements and restrictions were applicable to the composite, they may have had an adverse effect on the performance results of the composite.

LSV ASSET MANAGEMENT SMALL CAP VALUE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following table presents the past performance of a composite of certain accounts managed by LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), which serves as the subadviser to the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. The LSV Small Cap Value composite is composed of all fee paying accounts under discretionary management by LSV in LSV’s small cap value investment strategy that have investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. LSV has prepared the gross performance data for the composite shown in the table in compliance with the Performance Presentation Standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR-PPS®), the U.S. and Canadian version of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). AIMR has not been involved in the preparation or review of this report. The AIMR method for computing historical performance differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s method. Because the gross performance data shown in the table does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees paid by the accounts comprising the composite and certain other expenses which would be applicable to mutual funds, the net performance data may be more relevant to potential investors in the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund in their analysis of the historical experience of LSV in managing all small cap value portfolios with investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. To calculate the performance of the composite net of all operating expenses, the annual fund operating expenses payable by the Class A Shares and Class B Shares of MTB Small Cap Stock Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were used. In addition, for the Average Annual Total Return Tables, the composite is presented net of the maximum sales charge that applies to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively.

The historical performance of the LSV Small Cap Value composite is not that of any of the MTB Funds, including MTB Small Cap Stock Fund, and is not necessarily indicative of any Fund’s future results. MTB Small Cap Stock Fund commenced operations on July 1, 1994, and LSV commenced managing the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund on June 30, 2001. The actual performance of the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund (which is not presented in this prospectus) may vary significantly from the past performance of the composite. Moreover, MTB Small Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance presented in the prospectus varies and will continue to vary significantly from the past performance of the composite because (i) MTB Small Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance for the period June 30, 2001 through December 31, 2004 reflects both the performance of the value style portion of the Fund, as well as the performance of the growth style portion of the Fund (which is managed by another subadviser); and (ii) the Fund’s actual performance for the period prior to June 30, 2001 was managed in a single unitary investment style by a single adviser. While the accounts comprising the composite incur inflows and outflows of cash from clients, there can be no assurance that the continuous offering of a fund’s shares and a fund’s obligation to redeem its shares will not adversely impact the fund’s performance. Also, the accounts comprising the composite are not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Internal Revenue Code. If these limitations, requirements and restrictions were applicable to the composite, they may have had an adverse effect on the performance results of the composite.

Mazama’s team of portfolio managers, who are supported by specialized fundamental research analysts, manages the growth equity portion of Small Cap Stock Fund, makes decisions with respect to and places orders for all purchases and sales of such portfolio securities, and maintains the Fund’s records relating to such purchases and sales.

MAZAMA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. SMALL CAP GROWTH COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following table presents the past performance of a composite of certain accounts managed by Mazama Capital Management, Inc. (“Mazama”), which serves as the subad-viser to the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. The Mazama Small Cap Growth composite is composed of all fee paying accounts under discretionary management by Mazama in Mazama’s small cap growth investment strategy that have investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. Mazama has prepared the gross performance data for the composite shown in the table in compliance with the Performance Presentation Standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR-PPS®), the U.S. and Canadian version of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). AIMR has not been involved in the preparation or review of this report. The AIMR method for computing historical performance differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s method. Because the gross performance data shown in the table does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees paid by the accounts comprising the composite and certain other expenses which would be applicable to mutual funds, the net performance data may be more relevant to potential investors in the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund in their analysis of the historical experience of Mazama in managing all small cap growth portfolios with investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. To calculate the performance of the composite net of all operating expenses, the annual fund operating expenses payable by the Class A Shares and Class B Shares of MTB Small Cap Stock Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were used. In addition, for the Average Annual Total Return Tables, the composite is presented net of the maximum sales charge that applies to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively.

The historical performance of the Mazama Small Cap Growth composite is not that of any of the MTB Funds, including MTB Small Cap Stock Fund, and is not necessarily indicative of any Fund’s future results. MTB Small Cap Stock Fund commenced operations on July 1, 1994, and Mazama commenced managing the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund on July 1, 2001. The actual performance of the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund (which is not presented in this prospectus) may vary significantly from the past performance of the composite. Moreover, MTB Small Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance presented in the prospectus varies and will continue to vary significantly from the past performance of the composite because (i) MTB Small Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance for the period July 1, 2001 through December 31, 2004 reflects both the performance of the growth style portion of the Fund, as well as the performance of the value style portion of the Fund (which is managed by another subadviser); and (ii) the Fund’s actual performance for the period prior to July 1, 2001 was managed in a single unitary investment style by a single adviser. While the accounts comprising the composite incur inflows and outflows of cash from clients, there can be no assurance that the continuous offering of a fund’s shares and a fund’s obligation to redeem its shares will not adversely impact the fund’s performance. Also, the accounts comprising the composite are not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Internal Revenue Code. If these limitations, requirements and restrictions were applicable to the composite, they may have had an adverse effect on the performance results of the composite.

NWQ Investment Management Company LLC (NWQ) sub-advises Large Cap Value Fund. NWQ is a registered investment advisor that was founded in 1982 and most recently reorganized in August 2002 as a Delaware limited liability company. NWQ is an independently-managed subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., except for less-than-3% equity interest held by certain members of NWQ’s management and investment team. Nuveen Investments, Inc. is majority-owned by St. Paul Travelers Companies, a publicly held company. NWQ’s principal business address is 2049 Century Park East, 16th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067. As of December 31, 2004, NWQ managed approximately $30.9 billion in assets. NWQ has had past experience managing mutual funds. NWQ manages Large Cap Value Fund, makes decisions with respect to and places orders for all purchases and sales of its portfolio securities, and maintains the records relating to such purchases and sales. St. Paul Travelers Companies has publicly announced plans to sell its entire interest (approximately 78%) in Nuveen Investments, Inc., whereupon Nuveen would become a fully independent, publicly-held company. Such sale (which is subject to market conditions and certain other factors) is scheduled to be concluded during the third quarter of 2005 and would not affect NWQ’s current status as a greater-than-97% subsidiary of Nuveen.

NWQ LARGE CAP VALUE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following table presents the past performance of a composite of certain accounts managed by NWQ (10/1/96-12/31/04) and Jon D. Bosse (1/1/90-9/30/96), which serve as the subadviser and co-portfolio manager, respectively, to the MTB Large Cap Value Fund (together, the “Managers”). The NWQ Large Cap Value composite is composed of all fee paying accounts under discretionary management by the Managers that have large cap value investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the MTB Large Cap Value Fund. NWQ has prepared the gross performance data for the composite shown in the table in compliance with the Performance Presentation Standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR-PPS®), the U.S. and Canadian version of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). AIMR has not been involved in the preparation or review of this report. The gross performance data was calculated on an asset-weighted, total return basis, including reinvestment of all dividends, interest and income, realized and unrealized gains or losses, brokerage commissions and execution costs and custodial fees, without provision for federal and state income taxes, if any. The AIMR method for computing historical performance differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s method. Because the gross performance data shown in the table does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees paid by the accounts comprising the composite and certain other expenses which would be applicable to mutual funds, the net performance data may be more relevant to potential investors in the MTB Large Cap Value Fund in their analysis of the historical experience of the Managers in managing all large cap value portfolios with investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the MTB Large Cap Value Fund. To calculate the performance of the composite net of all operating expenses, the annual fund operating expenses payable by the Class A Shares and Class B Shares of MTB Large Cap Value Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were used. In addition, for the Average Annual Total Return Tables, the composite is presented net of the maximum sales charge that applies to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively.

The historical performance of the NWQ Large Cap Value composite is not that of any of the MTB Funds, including MTB Large Cap Value Fund, and is not necessarily indicative of any Fund’s future results. MTB Large Cap Value Fund commenced operations on September 26, 1997, and NWQ commenced managing the MTB Large Cap Value Fund on December 8, 2004. The actual performance of the MTB Large Cap Value Fund (which is presented in this prospectus) may vary significantly from the past performance of the composite. While the accounts comprising the composite incur inflows and outflows of cash from clients, there can be no assurance that the continuous offering of a fund’s shares and a fund’s obligation to redeem its shares will not adversely impact the fund’s performance. Also, the accounts comprising the composite are not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Internal Revenue Code. If these limitations, requirements and restrictions were applicable to the composite, they may have had an adverse effect on the performance results of the composite. The aggregate returns of the accounts comprising the composite may not reflect the returns of any particular account managed by NWQ.

Performance of the Large Cap Value composite presented prior to October 1, 1996 occurred while the portfolio manager, Jon D. Bosse, was affiliated with a prior firm, and was the only individual responsible for selecting the securities to buy and sell. The results prior to October 1, 1996 are based on the performance of one account managed with a substantially similar investment style and technique as the accounts comprising the Large Cap Value composite with assets of $288 million as of September 30, 1996. Prior to July 1, 1997, NWQ included accounts which held large, mid and small capitalization equities in the Large Cap Value composite. Subsequently, Large Cap Value accounts have opportunistically purchased small capitalization equities as allowed by client guidelines.

DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc. (DRZ) sub-advises Equity Income Fund. DRZ is a registered investment advisor formed in April 1995 and substantially owned by three principals, Gregory M. DePrince, John D. Race and Victor A. Zollo, Jr. DRZ’s principal business address is 201 South Orange Avenue, Suite 850, Orlando, Florida 32801. As of June 30, 2005, DRZ managed approximately $4.66 billion in assets. DRZ has had past experience managing mutual funds. DRZ manages Equity Income Fund, makes decisions with respect to and places orders for all purchases and sales of its portfolio securities, and maintains the records relating to such purchases and sales.

DEPRINCE, RACE & ZOLLO, INC. LARGE CAP VALUE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following table presents the past performance of a composite of certain accounts managed by DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc. (“DRZ”), which serves as the subadviser to the MTB Equity Income Fund. The DRZ Large Cap Value composite is composed of all fee paying accounts under discretionary management by DRZ in DRZ’s large cap value investment strategy that have investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the MTB Equity Income Fund. DRZ has calculated the gross performance data for the composite shown in the table on an asset-weighted, total return basis, including reinvestment of all dividends, interest and income, realized and unrealized gains or losses, brokerage commissions and execution costs and custodial fees, without provision for federal and state income taxes, if any. Because the gross performance data shown in the table does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees paid by the accounts comprising the composite and certain other expenses which would be applicable to mutual funds, the net performance data may be more relevant to potential investors in the MTB Equity Income Fund in their analysis of the historical experience of DRZ in managing all large cap value portfolios with investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the MTB Equity Income Fund. To calculate the performance of the composite net of all operating expenses, the annual fund operating expenses payable by the Class A Shares and Class B Shares of MTB Equity Income Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were used. In addition, for the Average Annual Total Return Tables, the composite is presented net of the maximum sales charge that applies to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively.

The historical performance of the DRZ Large Cap Value composite is not that of any of the MTB Funds, including MTB Equity Income Fund, and is not necessarily indicative of any Fund’s future results. MTB Equity Income Fund commenced operations on November 18, 1996, and DRZ commenced managing the MTB Equity Income Fund on December 8, 2004. The actual performance of the MTB Equity Income Fund (which is presented in this prospectus) may vary significantly from the past performance of the composite. While the accounts comprising the composite incur inflows and outflows of cash from clients, there can be no assurance that the continuous offering of a fund’s shares and a fund’s obligation to redeem its shares will not adversely impact the fund’s performance. Also, the accounts comprising the composite are not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Internal Revenue Code. If these limitations, requirements and restrictions were applicable to the composite, they may have had an adverse effect on the performance results of the composite.

(a)      Based on net asset value, which does not reflect the sales charge, redemption fee or contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
(b)   This voluntary expense decrease is reflected in both the expense and net investment income ratios shown.
(c)   Based on average shares outstanding.
(d)   Reflects operations for the period from August 18, 2003 (date of initial public investment) to April 30, 2004.
(e)   Computed on an annualized basis.
(f)   Effective May 1, 2001, the New York Municipal Bond Fund adopted the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began accreting discount/amortizing premium on long term debt securities. For the year ended April 30, 2002, this change had no effect on the net investment income per share or net realized and unrealized gain/loss on investments per share but increased the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 3.97% to 3.98%. Per share, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to May 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

(a)     Based on net asset value, which does not reflect the sales charge, redemption fee or contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
(b)   This voluntary expense decrease is reflected in both the expense and net investment income ratios shown.
(c)   Reflects operations for the period from August 25, 2003 (date of initial public investment) to April 30, 2004.
(d)   Computed on an annualized basis.
(e)   Reflects operations for the period from August 18, 2003 (date of initial public investment) to April 30, 2004.
(f)   Represents less than $0.01.
(g)   Effective May 1, 2001, the U.S. Government Bond Fund adopted the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began accreting discount/amortizing premium on long term debt securities. For the year ended April 30, 2002, this change has no effect on the net investment income per share or net realized and unrealized gain/loss per share but decreased the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 6.00% to 4.84%. Per share, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to May 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.
(h)   Based on average shares outstanding.
(i)   Reflects less than 0.01%.

Introduction Information Common to All Funds

Each portfolio (each, a Fund) of MTB Group of Funds (Trust) is a mutual fund. A mutual fund pools shareholders’ money and, using professional investment managers, invests it in securities.

Each Fund has its own investment goal and strategies for reaching that goal. The investment advisor (or sub-advisor) invests each Fund’s assets in a way that the advisor believes will help a Fund achieve its goal. Still, investing in each Fund involves risk, and there is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its goal. The investment advisor’s judgments about the markets, the economy, or companies may not anticipate actual market movements, economic conditions or company performance, and these judgments may affect the return on your investment. In fact, no matter how good a job the investment advisor does, you could lose money on your investment in a Fund, just as you could with other investments. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency.

The value of your investment in a Fund is based on the market prices of the securities the Fund holds. These prices change daily due to economic and other events that affect particular companies and other issuers. These price movements, sometimes called volatility, may be greater or lesser depending on the types of securities a Fund owns and the markets in which they trade. The effect on a Fund of a change in the value of a single security will depend on how widely the Fund diversifies its holdings.

The MTB U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, MTB U.S. Government Money Market Fund, MTB Money Market Fund, MTB Tax-Free Money Market Fund, MTB Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and MTB New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund try to maintain a constant price per share of $1.00, but there is no guarantee that these Funds will achieve this goal. Please call 1-800-836-2211 to obtain current 7-day yield information for these Funds.

FUND GOALS, STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

<R>

This prospectus of the Trust offers Class A Shares of five Money Market Funds and Class A Shares and Class B Shares of one Money Market Fund. Under a separate prospectus of the Trust, the Trust offers one or more additional Classes of shares (Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares, Institutional II Shares or Class S Shares) for each Money Market Fund whose Class A Shares and Class B Shares are offered by this propectus. In addition, under separate prospectuses, the Trust offers one or more classes of shares (Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares, Institutional II Shares, or Class S Shares) for three Managed Allocation Funds, one Balanced Fund, ten Stock Funds, eight Bond Funds, and one additional Money Market Fund.

</R>

The following pages describe the investment goals (objectives), strategies and principal risks of each Money Market Fund whose Class A Shares and Class B Shares are offered

by this prospectus. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its goal. However, each Fund endeavors to do so by following the strategies and policies described in this prospectus.

The investment goal of each Fund may only be changed upon the approval of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Fund which may be affected by the changes. Certain investment strategies may be changed without shareholder approval, although a Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior written notice of a change in its 80% investment policy.

Performance and Financial History of MTB Group of Funds Which Succeeded the ARK Funds

Each of the following Funds (a Successor MTB Fund) is the successor to a corresponding portfolio of the ARK Funds pursuant to a reorganization (ARK Reorganization) which took place on August 15, 2003 or August 22, 2003 (together, the Closing Date).

Successor MTB Fund    Former ARK Portfolio (sometimes referred to as “Accounting Survivor”)

     
MTB U.S. Government Money Market Fund   ARK U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio

     
MTB Tax-Free Money Market Fund   ARK Tax-Free Money Market Portfolio

     
MTB Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund   ARK Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Portfolio

Prior to that date, each Successor MTB Fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided in the prospectus for periods prior to the Closing Date is historical information for the corresponding ARK Fund. Each of the corresponding ARK Funds was managed by Allied Investment Advisors, Inc. (AIA), which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (M&T Bank) on April 1, 2003, when M&T Bank Corporation acquired Allfirst Financial Inc., Allfirst Bank (AllFirst) and their affiliates. On August 22, 2003, the investment advisory operations of M&T Asset Management, a department of M&T Bank, which was the pre-Reorganization advisor to the Trust, were transferred to AIA (which was renamed MTB Investment Advisors, Inc.). Effective on that date, MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. (MTBIA) became the investment advisor to the Trust. Each Successor MTB Fund has investment objectives and policies that are identical or substantially similar to those of the corresponding ARK Fund, although each Successor MTB Fund has different fee and expense arrangements than the corresponding ARK Fund.

Prior to August 15, 2003, MTB Group of Funds was known as Vision Group of Funds. Prior to August 11, 2000, Vision Group of Funds was known as Vision Group of Funds, Inc.

Performance

On the following pages is performance information for each Fund. This information gives you some indication of the risks of an investment in a Fund by comparing each Fund’s performance with a broad measure of market performance. While past performance of a Fund does not necessarily predict future performance, the following information provides you with the historical performance information to assist you in analyzing how each Fund’s investment risks may be balanced by their potential rewards. For more current performance information, including the current 7-Day Net Yields of the Money Market Funds, call (800) 836-2211.

Bar Charts

The bar chart represents the (historical) calendar year performance of Class A Shares of each Fund. Following the bar chart is the year-to-date performance of Class A Shares through the most recent calendar quarter. Also provided is the best and worst calendar quarter performance for Class A Shares through the most recent calendar year. For the Fund that also offers Class B Shares, Class A Shares performance is shown because it has the longest operating history.

Average Annual Total Return Tables

Following the bar chart is a performance table showing the Average Annual Total Return for Class A and Class B Shares, if applicable, of the Funds as compared to an appropriate broad-based securities market index for certain periods ended December 31, 2004. The market indices are unmanaged and are not adjusted for any sales charges, expenses or other fees the SEC requires to be reflected in a Fund’s performance. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Risks Common to the Funds

The Shares offered by this prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.

MTB MONEY MARKET FUND

Cusip: 55376T460 Symbol: VSMXX (Class A Shares)
Cusip: 55376T452 Symbol: ARBXX (Class B Shares)

Goal

To seek current income with liquidity and stability of principal.

Strategy

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in money market instruments comprising a diversified portfolio of high quality, short-term debt obligations issued by the U.S. government, banks and corporations.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may purchase only securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

MTB NEW YORK TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

Cusip: 55376T338 Symbol: VNTXX (Class A Shares)

Goal

To seek a high level of current interest income that is exempt from federal regular income tax as is consistent with liquidity and relative stability of principal.

Strategy

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of tax-exempt money market obligations. The Fund maintains a fundamental investment policy that at least 80% of its income will, under normal market conditions, be exempt from federal regular income tax, federal alternative minimum tax and New York State income tax. Such income should also be exempt from New York City income taxes.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may purchase only securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
  • New York Investment Risks. The Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect securities issued by New York issuers. The economy of New York state is large and diverse, from agriculture, manufacturing and high technology in upstate counties to advertising, finance and banking in New York City. Any major changes to financial conditions of New York City, however, would ultimately have an effect on the state.

MTB PENNSYLVANIA TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

Cusip: 55376T270 Symbol: MPAXX (Class A Shares)

Goal

Maximizing current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania personal income taxes and providing liquidity and security of principal.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing in high-quality, short-term municipal money market instruments that pay interest that is exempt from federal and Pennsylvania personal income taxes. The Fund has a fundamental policy that at least 80% of its income will, under normal market conditions, be exempt from federal income tax, including the federal alternative minimum tax, and Pennsylvania personal income tax. The principal issuers of these securities may be state and local governments and agencies located in Pennsylvania, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories and possessions.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may only purchase securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
  • Pennsylvania Investment Risks. The Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect securities issued by Pennsylvania issuers. Pennsylvania’s economy has historically been dependent on heavy industry and agriculture, but has diversified recently into medical and health services, education and financial services. Future economic difficulties in any of these industries could have an adverse impact on the finances of the state.

MTB TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

Cusip: 55376V200 Symbol: ATFXX (Class A Shares)

<R>

Goal

Maximizing current income exempt from federal income tax and providing liquidity and stability of principal.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing in high-quality, short-term municipal money market instruments that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax. The issuers of these securities may be state and local governments and agencies located in any of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions. The Fund is well diversified among issuers and comprised only of short-term debt securities that are rated in the two highest categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or determined by the Advisor to be of equal credit quality. The Fund maintains a fundamental policy that at least 80% of its income will, under normal market conditions, be exempt from federal income tax, including the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). The Fund attempts to invest 100% of its assets in securities exempt from federal income tax (not including the AMT).

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may only purchase securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.

MTB U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND

Cusip: 55376V804 Symbol: AGAXX (Class A Shares)

Goal

To seek current income and provide liquidity and security of principal.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing in obligations issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and repurchase agreements. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements backed by such instruments.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may purchase only securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

The Fund intends to invest in the securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in GSE securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. Finally, the Fund may invest in a few GSE securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Such securities include those issued by the Farm Credit System and the Financing Corporation.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Principal Securities of the Funds

The following list is a description of the principal securities in which the Funds may invest. More information on the principal and acceptable investments of the Funds is contained in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.

Fixed Income Securities

Fixed income securities (bonds) pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with the issuer’s earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed income securities as compared to equity securities.

A security’s yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a percentage of its price. A security’s yield will increase or decrease depending upon whether it costs less (a discount) or more (a premium) than the principal amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the price and yield on a discount or premium security may change based upon the probability of an early redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have higher yields.

The following describes the principal types of fixed income securities in which a Fund may invest.

Treasury Securities

Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the lowest credit risks.

Agency Securities

Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government sponsored entity (GSE) acting under federal authority. Some GSE securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. These include the Government National Mortgage Association, Small Business Administration, Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation, Farmer’s Home Administration, Federal Financing Bank, General Services Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Export-Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Bonds.

Other GSE securities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. For example, the U.S. Treasury is authorized to purchase specified amounts of securities issued by (or otherwise make funds available to) the Federal Home Loan Bank System, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, Student Loan Marketing Association, and Tennessee Valley Authority in support of such obligations.

A few GSE securities have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. These include the Farm Credit System, Financing Corporation, and Resolution Funding Corporation.

Investors regard agency securities as having low credit risks, but not as low as Treasury securities.

A Fund treats mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by a GSE as if issued or guaranteed by a federal agency. Although such a guarantee protects against credit risks, it does not reduce market and prepayment risks.

Corporate Debt Securities

Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities. A Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

In addition, the credit risk of an issuer’s debt security may vary based on its priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt securities have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated) securities. This means that the issuer might not make payments on subordinated securities while continuing to make payments on senior securities. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy, holders of senior securities may receive amounts otherwise payable to the holders of subordinated securities. Some subordinated securities, such as trust preferred and capital securities notes, also permit the issuer to defer payments under certain circumstances. For example, insurance companies issue securities known as surplus notes that permit the insurance company to defer any payment that would reduce its capital below regulatory requirements.

Commercial Paper

Commercial paper is an issuer’s obligation with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer cannot continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper may default. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and credit risks as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.

Tax-Exempt Securities

Tax-exempt securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not subject to regular federal income taxes. Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax-exempt securities. The market categorizes tax-exempt securities by their source of repayment. Interest income on such securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for individuals and corporations.

General Obligation Bonds

General obligation bonds are supported by the issuer’s power to exact property or other taxes. The issuer must impose and collect taxes sufficient to pay principal and interest on the bonds. However, the issuer’s authority to impose additional taxes may be limited by its charter or state law.

Special Revenue Bonds

Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific revenues received by the issuer such as specific taxes, assessments, tolls, or fees. Bondholders may not collect from the municipality’s general taxes or revenues. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to build a toll road, and pledge the tolls to repay the bonds. Therefore, a shortfall in the tolls normally would result in a default on the bonds.

Tax Increment Financing Bonds

Tax increment financing (TIF) bonds are payable from increases in taxes or other revenues attributable to projects financed by the bonds. For example, a municipality may issue TIF bonds to redevelop a commercial area. The TIF bonds would be payable solely from any increase in sales taxes collected from merchants in the area. The bonds could default if merchants’ sales, and related tax collections, failed to increase as anticipated.

Municipal Notes

Municipal notes are short-term tax-exempt securities. Many municipalities issue such notes to fund their current operations before collecting taxes or other municipal revenues. Municipalities may also issue notes to fund capital projects prior to issuing long-term bonds. The issuers typically repay the notes at the end of their fiscal year, either with taxes, other revenues or proceeds from newly issued notes or bonds.

Variable Rate Demand Instruments

Variable rate demand instruments are tax-exempt securities that require the issuer or a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The securities also pay interest at a variable rate intended to cause the securities to trade at their face value. A Fund treats demand instruments as short-term securities, because their variable interest rate adjusts in response to changes in market rates, even though their stated maturity may extend beyond thirteen months.

Special Transactions

Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting a Fund’s return on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest rate on the underlying security. A Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Advisor.

A Fund’s custodian will take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements. The Advisor will monitor the value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.

Other Investment Strategies

Investment Ratings For Investment Grade Securities

The Advisor or sub-advisor will determine whether a security is investment grade based upon the credit ratings given by one or more nationally recognized rating services. For example, Standard and Poor’s, a rating service, assigns ratings to investment grade securities (AAA, AA, A, and BBB) based on their assessment of the likelihood of the issuer’s inability to pay interest or principal (default) when due on each security. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon the Advisor’s or sub-advisor’s credit assessment that the security is comparable to investment grade.

Specific Risks Of Investing In The Funds

Interest Rate Risks

Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the demand for particular fixed income securities, may cause the price of certain fixed income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or remain unchanged.

Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income securities with longer durations. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to changes in interest rates.

Credit Risks

Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, a Fund will lose money.

Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from services such as Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. These services assign ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon the Advisor’s credit assessment.

Fixed income securities generally compensate for greater credit risk by paying interest at a higher rate. The difference between the yield of a security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity (the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may increase generally in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A security’s spread may also increase if the security’s rating is lowered, or the security is perceived to have an increased credit risk. An increase in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.

Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving a Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause a Fund to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent a Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.

Tax Risks

In order to be tax-exempt, municipal securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund to their shareholders to be taxable.

Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of municipal securities to fall.

Income from Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund may be subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). However, Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund are required to limit to 20% that part of their income that would be subject to AMT.

Risks Of Non-Diversification

New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund and Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund are non-diversified. Compared to diversified mutual funds, each of these Funds may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities. This increases a Fund’s risk by magnifying the impact (positively or negatively) that any one issuer has on a Fund’s Share price and performance.

New York Investment Risks

New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund emphasizes investments in New York and is subject to events that may adversely affect New York issuers compared to funds that invest in multiple states. New York’s economy is large and diverse. While several upstate counties benefit from agriculture, manufacturing and high technology industries, New York City nonetheless still dominates the State’s economy through its international importance in economic sectors such as advertising, finance, and banking. Any major changes to the financial conditions of New York City would ultimately have an effect on the State.

Yields on New York municipal securities depend on a variety of factors, including: the general conditions of the short-term municipal note market and the municipal bond market; the size of the particular offering; the maturity of the obligations; and the rating of the issue. Further, any adverse economic conditions or developments affecting the State, counties, municipalities or City of New York could impact New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund’s portfolio. The ability of this Fund to achieve their investment goals also depends on the continuing ability of the issuers of New York municipal securities and participation interests, or the guarantors of either, to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due.

Additionally, the tragic events of September 11, 2001 may have adverse short-term or long-term economic effects on New York City.

Pennsylvania Investment Risks

Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund emphasizes investments in Pennsylvania and is subject to events that may adversely affect Pennsylvania issuers.

Pennsylvania’s economy historically has been dependent upon heavy industry, but has diversified recently into various services, particularly into medical and health services, education and financial services. Agricultural industries continue to be an important part of the economy, including not only the production of diversified food and livestock products, but substantial economic activity in agribusiness and food-related industries. Service industries currently employ the greatest share of nonagricultural workers, followed by the categories of trade and manufacturing. Future economic difficulties in any of these industries could have an adverse impact on the finances of the Commonwealth or its municipalities, and could adversely affect the market value of the Pennsylvania exempt securities in the Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund or the ability of the respective obligors to make payments of interest and principal due on such Securities.

How Are Shares Priced?

The Trust offers seven classes of Shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares and Institutional II Shares. All Share classes have different sales charges and other expenses, which affect their performance. Each Share class represents interests in a single portfolio of securities. This prospectus relates only to Class A Shares and Class B Shares of the Money Market Funds. The differences between the three classes relate to the timing and amount of asset-based sales charges and other expenses which an investor bears directly or indirectly as a shareholder. Contact your financial intermediary or call the MTB Group of Funds (MTB Funds) at 800-836-2211 for more information about Class C Shares, Institutional Class Shares, Institutional I Class Shares, Institutional II Class Shares and Class S Shares.

Each Money Market Fund attempts to stabilize the net asset value (NAV) of its Shares at $1.00 by valuing its portfolio securities using the amortized cost method. The Money Market Funds cannot guarantee that their NAV will always remain at $1.00 per Share. As noted below, the Money Market Funds’ NAV is calculated twice each day that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Federal Reserve Board is open for business.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the NYSE Close. In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the NYSE Close. Certain foreign currency exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the NYSE Close. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the NYSE Close. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value determined in good faith by the Fund’s Board, although the actual calculation may be done by others. If a Fund owns foreign securities that trade in foreign markets on days the NYSE is closed, or if the NYSE closes earlier than 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, the value of these securities, and therefore the Fund’s assets, may change on days or at times you cannot purchase, redeem or exchange Shares of such Fund. In all cases, the Funds’ Board may determine in good faith that another method of valuing investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value.

The following table shows at what times the Funds calculate their NAV:

FUND
NAV CALCULATED (EASTERN TIME)

Money Market
U.S. Government Money Market
U.S. Treasury Money Market
3:00 p.m. and
NYSE Close

New York Tax-Free Money Market
Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market
Tax-Free Money Market
11:00 a.m. and
NYSE Close

The Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Fund’s Advisor determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a dealer or independent pricing service is inaccurate.

Fair valuation procedures are also used when a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which is when the Fund’s NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Significant events include significant general securities market movements occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For domestic fixed income securities, such events may occur where the cut-off time for the market information used by the independent pricing service is earlier than the end of regular trading on the NYSE. For securities normally priced at their last sale price in a foreign market, such events can occur between the close of trading in the foreign market and the close of trading on the NYSE. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time when the NAV is calculated.

In some cases, events affecting the issuer of a portfolio security may be considered significant events. Examples of potentially significant events include announcements concerning earnings, acquisitions, new products, management changes, litigation developments, a strike or natural disaster affecting the company’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities of foreign issuers, such events could also include political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which the issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded.

The Funds’ Board has authorized the use of an independent fair valuation service to monitor changes in a designated U.S. market index after foreign markets close, and to implement a fair valuation methodology to adjust the closing prices of foreign securities if the movement in the index is significant.

There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In the case of fair valued portfolio securities, lack of information and uncertainty as to the significance of information may lead to a conclusion that a prior valuation is the best indication of a portfolio security’s present value. Fair valuations generally remain unchanged until new information becomes available. Consequently, changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations. Fair valuation determinations often involve the consideration of a number of subjective factors, and the fair value price may be higher or lower than a readily available market quotation.

To the extent any fund invests in other investment companies, the prospectuses for those companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

Sales Charge When You Redeem Class B Shares

</R>

Class B Shares are not subject to front-end sales charges. Class B Shares purchase orders for $100,000 or more will be invested in Class A Shares instead of Class B Shares to maximize your returns and minimize sales charges and marketing fees. Class B Shares are subject to CDSCs. Your redemption proceeds with respect to Class B Shares may be reduced by a sales charge, commonly referred to as a CDSC if you redeem them within the following times from the purchase date:

SHARES HELD UP TO:
CLASS B SHARES—CDSC

1 year
5.00%

2 years
4.00%

3 years
3.00%

4 years
3.00%

5 years
2.00%

6 years
1.00%

7 years or more
0.00%

Class B Shares convert to Class A Shares (which pay lower ongoing expenses) eight years after purchase. This is a non-taxable event.

Class B Shares acquired in exchanges will continue to remain subject to the CDSC, if applicable, until the applicable holding period expires.

You will not be charged a CDSC when redeeming Shares:

  • purchased with reinvested dividends or capital gains;

<R>

  • if you exchange Class B Shares into the Class B Shares of another MTB Fund where the Shares were held for the applicable CDSC holding period;

</R>

  • purchased through financial intermediaries who did not receive advanced sales commission payments;
  • if, after you purchase Shares, you become disabled, as defined by the IRS;
  • if the redemption qualified under the Systematic Withdrawal Program;
  • if the Fund redeems your Shares and closes your account for not meeting the minimum balance requirement;
  • if your redemption is a required retirement plan distribution;
  • representing minimum required distributions from an Individual Retirement Account or other retirement plan to a shareholder who has attained the age of 70 1/2;
  • upon the death of the last surviving shareholder of the account.

If your redemption qualifies, you or your financial intermediary should notify the Distributor or the Funds at the time of redemption to eliminate the CDSC. If the Distributor or the Funds are not notified, the CDSC will apply.

To keep the sales charge as low as possible, the Fund redeems your Shares in this order:

  • Shares that are not subject to a CDSC; and
  • Shares held the longest (to determine the number of years your Class B Shares have been held, include the time you held Class B shares of other MTB Funds that have been exchanged for Shares of this Fund).

The CDSC is then calculated using the share price at time of purchase or redemption, whichever is lower.

Keep in mind that financial intermediaries may charge you additional fees for their services in connection with your Share transactions.

How to Purchase, Redeem, and Exchange Shares

When the NYSE is open for business, you may purchase, redeem, or exchange Shares by phone, mail, or wire through your financial intermediary or MTB Funds, subject to daily cutoff times. Your order will be processed at the next calculated NAV, plus any sales charges or less any CDSC as applicable, after your order request is received by the Fund or its designated agent in proper form. The NYSE is closed on weekends and on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Purchases and redemptions by wire will not be available on days the Federal Reserve wire system is closed. In addition to the scheduled NYSE holidays noted above, the Federal Reserve wire system is scheduled to be closed on the following days: Columbus Day and Veterans’ Day. The Funds do not issue share certificates and they reserve the right to reject any purchase request for any reason.

Through Your Financial Intermediary

Shareholders normally purchase Shares through investment professionals and different types of customer accounts at financial intermediaries. You should read this prospectus together with any agreements between you and your financial intermediary to learn about procedures to follow, the services provided, the fees charged for those services, required earlier cutoff times than shown in this prospectus, and any restrictions and limitations imposed.

By Phone
MTB Funds                            800-836-2211

The Funds reserve the right to modify or terminate the phone redemption and exchange privileges at any time. Shareholders will be notified prior to any modification or termination. Your phone instructions may be electronically recorded for your protection. Shareholders who purchase shares by phone or accept the phone redemption or exchange privilege authorize the Trust and its agents to act upon their telephonic instructions for any account for which they have authorized such services. Redeeming or exchanging Shares over the phone is convenient, but not without risk. Although the Funds have created certain safeguards and procedures to confirm the identity of callers and the authenticity of instructions, the Funds are not responsible for any losses or costs incurred by following phone instructions we reasonably believe to be genuine. If you transact with the Fund over the phone, you will generally bear the risk of any loss.

Purchasing Shares

To purchase Shares of a Fund for the first time, complete and sign a new account application, selecting one of the Payment Methods below. Mail your application to MTB Funds to establish your new account.

<R>

Minimum Initial Investment Amount:
  $500

   
Minimum Subsequent Investment Amount:
  $25

   
Minimum Balance
    $250

</R>

The minimum initial and subsequent investment amounts may be waived or lowered from time to time. An investor’s minimum investment will be calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the Funds provided the investor identifies its other Fund accounts at the time of investment. Employees of M&T Bank and its affiliates are exempt from the minimums stated above.

Accounts With Low Balances

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, non-retirement accounts may be closed if redemptions or exchanges cause the account balance to fall below $250. Before an account is closed, you will be notified and allowed 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum account balance required.

Payment Methods

Payment may be made by check, Federal Reserve System wire, or Automated Clearing House (ACH). Where a Fund offers more than one Share class and you do not specify the class choice on your form of payment, you automatically will receive Class A Shares. Each payment must be accompanied by your name, the Fund’s name and Share class, and your account number (if established).

By Check

Make your check payable to (Name of the Fund and Class of Shares) and mail it to MTB Funds along with your application. Current shareholders can purchase additional Shares by sending a check to MTB Funds accompanied by purchase instructions.

However, payments may be delayed up to seven business days to allow your purchase payment to clear. Purchase orders by mail for Money Market Funds begin earning dividends on the day after the check is converted into federal funds.

The Funds do not accept cash, money orders, credit cards, travelers checks, counter checks, or third party checks (for example, checks made payable to a third party and endorsed over to MTB Funds or checks made payable to the MTB Funds by a party other than the shareholder of record).

By Federal Reserve System Wire

Once your account is established, ask your bank to wire money to the Fund’s custodian bank, accompanied by purchase instructions. For additional purchases, wire your money with instructions. Wire orders will only be accepted on days on which the Funds, M&T Bank, and the Federal Reserve wire system are open for business. Some financial institutions may charge a fee for wire services. The Funds also reserve the right to charge a processing fee for wire transfers. Below is a chart that shows the different cutoff times for processing Fund purchases and what it means to you. The Funds are not responsible for delays in the receipt of wires.

You may have redemption proceeds sent directly to your checking or NOW deposit account via ACH transfer from the Fund. If you place your order by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time), you will receive that day’s closing NAV and any dividends earned that day. Since ACH transfers are processed overnight, you will not receive redemption proceeds until the second business day.

Systematic Withdrawal Program

You may automatically redeem Shares in a minimum amount of $50 on a regular basis. Your account must be worth at least $10,000 at the time the program is established (multiple Class B Share accounts cannot be aggregated to meet this minimum balance). This program may reduce, and eventually deplete, your account. Payments should not be considered yield or income. For more information and an application form for this program call MTB Funds.

Generally, Class B Shares systematically withdrawn will be subject to CDSC. However, a CDSC will not be charged on systematic redemptions of Class B Shares if:

  • Shares redeemed are 12% or less of the account value in a single year. In measuring the redemption percentage, your account is valued when you establish the sytematic redemption program and then annually at calendar year-end; and
  • the account is at least one year old; and
  • all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested.

Checkwriting

You may request checks to redeem Shares of the Money Market Funds. Your account will continue to receive the daily dividend declared on the Shares being redeemed until the check is presented for payment. The ability to redeem Shares by check may not be available when establishing an account through a financial intermediary. You should read this prospectus together with any applicable agreement between you and your financial intermediary to learn about the services provided, the fees charged for those services, and any restrictions or limitations that may be imposed. For more information, contact MTB Funds.

Additional Conditions

Signature Guarantees

You must have a signature guarantee (STAMP 2000 Medallion Guarantee) on written redemption requests:

  • when you are requesting a redemption of $50,000 or more;
  • when you want a redemption to be sent to an address other than the one you have on record with the Fund; or
  • when you want the redemption payable to someone other than the shareholder of record.

Your signature can be guaranteed by any federally insured financial institution (such as a bank or credit union) or a broker-dealer that is a domestic stock exchange member, but not by a notary public.

Limitations on Redemption Proceeds

Redemption proceeds are normally transmitted within one business day (or sooner, as described under “Payment Options”) after receiving a request in proper form. However, payment may be delayed up to seven days:

  • to allow your purchase payment to clear;
  • during periods of market volatility; or
  • when a shareholder’s trade activity or amount adversely impacts a Fund’s ability to manage its assets.

Redemption In Kind

Although the Funds intend to pay Share redemptions in cash, each Fund reserves the right to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

Redemption From Retirement Accounts

In the absence of your specific instructions, 10% of the value of your redemption from a retirement account in a Fund may be withheld for taxes. This withholding only applies to certain types of retirement accounts.

Exchanging Shares

You may exchange Shares of a Fund for the same Share class of another MTB Fund. All exchange requests must include your name and account number, the Fund’s name and Share class, the number of shares or dollar amount you wish to exchange and the name of the Fund into which the exchange is to be made.

In order to exchange Shares you must submit your request in proper form and:

  • meet the minimum initial investment requirements (if the exchange results in the establishment of a new account);
  • establish an account in the Fund you want to acquire if you do not have an account in that Fund;
  • ensure that the account registrations are identical;
  • receive a prospectus for the Fund into which you wish to exchange; and
  • only exchange into a Fund that may be legally sold in your state of residence.

An exchange is treated as a redemption and subsequent purchase and is a taxable transaction. The Funds may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time, and shareholders will be notified prior to any modification or termination.

Class A Share Exchanges

Exchanges at NAV

If you exchange between Funds with different sales charges, the exchange will be made at NAV. However, you would pay applicable sales charges when exchanging Shares from one of the Money Market Funds into one of the Bond, Balanced, or Stock Funds.

If you paid a sales charge once (including Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains), you will not have to pay the sales charge again upon exchange. This is true even if you exchange out of a Fund with a sales charge, then into a Fund without a sales charge and back into a Fund with a sales charge.

Exchanges Subject to a Sales Charge

If you purchased into a Fund without a sales charge, and exchange into a Fund with a sales charge, you will be assessed the applicable sales charge when you make the exchange. However, the sales charge will not be applied to any Shares that you acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Dividends of the Class A Shares of the Money Market Funds can be reinvested into Class A Shares of any other MTB Fund at NAV at time of payment.

Class B Share Exchanges

You may exchange Class B Shares from one Fund to Class B Shares of another at NAV without any sales charge. The time you held the original Class B Shares will be added to the time you held the exchanged-for Class B Shares for purposes of calculating any applicable CDSC when you ultimately redeem those Shares.

Systematic Exchange Program

You may exchange Shares from one Fund into the same share class of another Fund on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Exchanges must be at least $25 and are subject to limitations as described above. For more information and an application form for this Program, call MTB Funds.

Frequent Trading Policies

Given the short-term nature of the Money Market Funds’ investments and their use of the amortized cost method for calculating the NAV of Money Market Fund Shares, the Fund does not anticipate that in the normal case frequent or short-term trading into and out of the Money Market Funds will have significant adverse consequences for the Money Market Funds and their shareholders. For this reason and because the Money Market Funds are intended to be used as liquid short-term investments, the Funds’ policies or procedures to discourage frequent or short-term trading do not apply to the Money Market Funds’ Shares. However, the Money Market Funds may limit or terminate the availability of purchases or exchanges to a shareholder and may bar the shareholder from purchasing or exchanging shares of the Money Market Funds and other non-Money Market Funds if the Funds’ management or Adviser determines from the amount, frequency or pattern of purchases and redemptions or exchanges that the shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is or could be detrimental to the non-Money Market Funds and their shareholders.

Account And Share Information

Corporate Resolutions

Corporations and certain other organizations may be required to furnish evidence of the authority of persons designated on the account application to effect transactions on behalf of the organization.

Confirmations And Account Statements

Money Market Funds send quarterly statements in lieu of share activity confirmations, unless there is activity in the account, in which case a monthly statement will be sent.

Retirement Investments

Shares of the Funds can be purchased as an investment for retirement plans or IRA accounts. You may be subject to an annual IRA account fee. Each Tax-Free Money Market Fund is generally not appropriate for retirement plans or IRA accounts. For further details, contact MTB Funds and consult a tax advisor.

Online Transactions

Shareholders of the Money Market Funds can purchase, redeem or exchange Shares on line by signing up for the M&T Online Trading Service. For more information, contact MTB Funds.

Distribution of Fund Shares

Edgewood Services, Inc. (Distributor), whose address is 5800 Corporate Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15237, serves as the Distributor of the Funds offered by this Prospectus. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc.

The Fund’s Distributor markets the Shares described in this prospectus to institutions or individuals, directly or through a financial intermediary that has an agreement with the Distributor. When the Distributor receives marketing fees and sales charges, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries. The Distributor and its affiliates may pay out of their assets other amounts (including items of material value) to financial intermediaries for marketing and servicing Shares. Financial intermediaries include the Advisor and its affiliates. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated). You should consult your financial intermediary to determine what types of compensation it may receive for selling Fund shares.

The Distributor may, from time to time in its sole discretion, insititute one or more promotional incentive programs for dealers, which will be paid for by the Distributor from any sales charge it receives or from any other sources available to it, including amounts made available by the Distributor’s affiliate (Federated Services Company), and the Advisor and its affiliates out of their reasonable profits and other resources. Under any such program, the Distributor may provide cash or non-cash compensation as recognition for past sales or encouragement for future sales that may include the following: merchandise, travel expenses, prizes, meals, and lodgings, and gifts that do not exceed $100 per year, per individual.

Rule 12b-1 Plans

<R>

The Funds have adopted a Rule 12b-1 Plan on behalf of Class A Shares and Class B Shares, which allows them to pay distribution fees to financial intermediaries (which may be paid through the Distributor) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds for Class A Shares and up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Funds for Class B Shares, for the sale, distribution, administration, customer servicing and recordkeeping of these Shares. These fees may be paid to the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates. In the case of Class B Shares, the Plan may also be used to compensate the Distributor, the Advisor, a sub-advisor, their affiliates or financial intermediaries for commissions advanced on the sale of those Shares. The Funds may waive or reduce the maximum amount of Rule 12b-1 fees they pay from time to time in their sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including the Distributor, the Advisor or their affiliates) may voluntarily waive or reduce any fees to which they may be entitled. Because these Shares pay marketing fees on an ongoing basis, your investment cost may be higher over time than other shares with different sales charges and marketing fees.

</R>

Shareholder Services

The Funds have adopted a Shareholder Services Plan on behalf of Class A Shares and Class B Shares, which is administered by Federated Services Company to pay service fees to financial intermediaries (which may include the Distributor, the Advisor or their affiliates). M&T Securities, Inc. (M&T Securities) and other financial intermediaries are entitled to receive a shareholder services fee for acting as shareholder servicing agent for the Funds, providing shareholder assistance, communicating or facilitating purchases and redemptions of Shares, and distributing prospectuses and other information.

Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries

The Distributor and its affiliates (including Federated Services Company) may pay out of their own reasonable resources and profits amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries (which may include the Advisor and its affiliates) to support the sale of Shares or provide services to Fund shareholders. The Advisor and its affiliates may pay out of their own reasonable resources and profits amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries (including the Distributor and Federated Services Company) to support the sale of Shares or provide services to the Fund shareholders. The amounts of these payments could be significant, and may create an incentive for the financial intermediaries or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell Shares of the Fund to you. These payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table section of the Funds’ prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

These payments are negotiated and may be based on such factors as the number or value of Shares that the financial intermediary sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; or the type and nature of services or support furnished by the financial intermediary. These payments may be in addition to payments made by the Fund to the financial intermediary under a Rule 12b-1 Plan and/or shareholder service fee arrangement. You can ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor, the Advisor, their affiliates, or the Fund and any services the financial intermediary provides. The SAI contains additional information on the types of additional payments that may be paid.

In addition, each Fund intends to pay any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares without a sales charge, unless you elect cash payments.

If you purchase Shares just before a Fund declares a dividend (other than a Fund that declares dividends daily) or capital gain distribution, you will pay the full price for the Shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a distribution, whether or not you reinvest the distribution in Shares. Therefore, you should consider the tax implications of purchasing Shares shortly before a Fund declares a dividend or capital gain.

Tax Information

The Funds send you an annual statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in a Fund. Tax information will be mailed to you on or before January 31 each year. Capital gains distributions are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time a Fund holds its assets.

The Funds’ distributions are expected to be as follows:

FUND
  DIVIDENDS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE PRIMARILY:

Money Market Fund,
New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund,
Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund,
Tax-Free Money Market Fund,
U.S. Government Money Market Fund,
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
     
Dividends

It is anticipated that distributions for New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund and Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund will be primarily dividends that are exempt from federal income tax, although a portion of each Fund’s dividends may not be exempt. Dividends may be subject to state and local taxes, although each of these Funds’ dividends will be exempt from New York or Pennsylvania state personal income tax to the extent that they are derived from interest on obligations exempt from New York or Pennsylvania personal income taxes, respectively.

Redemptions and exchanges are taxable sales. Capital gains and non-exempt dividends are taxable whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your federal, state, and local tax liability.

Who Manages The Funds?

The Board of Trustees (the Board) governs the Funds. The Board selects and oversees the Advisor, MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. (“MTBIA”), a subsidiary of M&T Bank. The Advisor manages each Fund’s assets, including buying and selling portfolio securities. The Advisor’s address is 100 E. Pratt Street, 17th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202.

<R>

M&T Bank is the principal banking subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation, a regional bank holding company in existence since 1969. M&T Bank was founded in 1892 and provides comprehensive banking and financial services to individuals, governmental entities and businesses throughout New York State, Pennsylvania, Maryland and parts of Virginia, West Virginia, the District of Columbia and Delaware. As of June 30, 2005, M&T Bank Corporation had over $54.5 billion in assets under management. MTBIA and entities affiliated with MTBIA or its predecessors have served as investment advisor to MTB Funds since 1988 and, as of June 30, 2005, it managed approximately $11.1 billion in assets. As part of its regular banking operations, M&T Bank may make loans to public companies. Thus, it may be possible, from time to time, for the Funds to hold or acquire the securities of issuers which are also lending clients of M&T Bank. The lending relationship will not be a factor in the selection of securities.

</R>

For its services under an Advisory Contract, the Advisor receives an annual Advisory Fee from each Fund, equal to a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

<R>

FUND      
ADVISORY FEE

Money Market Fund  
0.40%

New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund  
0.40%

Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund  
0.40%

Tax-Free Money Market Fund  
0.40%

U.S. Government Money Market Fund  
0.40%

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund  
0.40%

</R>

The Advisor may voluntarily waive a portion of its fee or reimburse a Fund for certain operating expenses.

In addition to the investment management services provided by MTBIA, MTBIA’s affiliate M&T Securities, Inc. also provides administrative services to the Funds and is entitled to receive a maximum fee of 0.04% of the Funds’ average daily net assets for such administrative services. M&T Securities, Inc. and its affiliates also may receive up to 0.25% of the Funds’ average daily net assets for shareholder services under the Shareholder Services Plan described in “Shareholder Services” and up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Funds’ Class A Shares or 0.75% of average daily net assets of the Funds’ Class B Shares for distribution services provided to the Funds under the Rule 12b-1 Plan described in “Rule 12b-1 Plan.”

<R>

A discussion of the Board’s review of the Funds’ investment advisory contracts is available in the Funds’ Annual Shareholder reports dated April 30, 2005.

</R>

Sub-Advisors

The Advisor (subject to the approval of the Board) may select and replace sub-advisors and amend Sub-Advisory agreements between the Advisor and the sub-advisors without obtaining shareholder approval. The foregoing applies to all Funds except the MTB Money Market Fund.

HOW ARE THE FUNDS ORGANIZED?
=========================================================================


Each Fund covered by this SAI is a diversified portfolio of MTB Group of Funds
(the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust, except for Pennsylvania Municipal
Bond Fund, Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund,
Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund,
which are non-diversified portfolios of the Trust. On August 11, 2000, the Trust
was organized to acquire all of the assets and liabilities of the VISION Group
of Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Corporation") that was originally
incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on February 23, 1988, and
registered as an open-end management investment company. On November 8, 2000,
each portfolio of the Corporation in existence at that time became a portfolio
of the Trust. Accordingly, references in this SAI for periods prior to November
8, 2000, relate to the Funds as portfolios of the Corporation, and substantially
identical arrangements for the Corporation. The Trust changed its name from
VISION Group of Funds to MTB Group of Funds on August 15, 2003. As noted in the
prospectus, certain Funds were created as part of a reorganization of the ARK
Funds on August 15 and 22, 2003. These Funds are accounting survivors of
corresponding portfolios of ARK Funds, and therefore, information for the
preceding periods reflect past performance of those corresponding portfolios of
ARK Funds. The Trust may offer separate series of Shares representing interests
in separate portfolios of securities.

Through an internal reorganization, the Fund's investment advisor changed from
M&T Asset Management, a department of Manufacturers and Traders Trust
Company (M&T Bank) to MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. (MTBIA or Advisor), a
subsidiary of M&T Bank, on August 15, 2003. Five Variable Annuity Funds are
offered in a separate prospectus and SAI.

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS AND TECHNIQUES
Following are descriptions of securities and techniques that each Fund may or
may not pursue, as noted in the preceding table.







Equity Securities
Equity securities represent a share of an issuer's earnings and assets, after
the issuer pays its liabilities. A Fund cannot predict the income it will
receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to
the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer
greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because
their value increases directly with the value of the issuer's business. The
following describes the types of equity securities in which a Fund invests.

   Common Stocks
   Common stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security. Common stocks
   receive the issuer's earnings after the issuer pays its creditors and any
   preferred stockholders. As a result, changes in an issuer's earnings directly
   influence the value of its common stock.

   Preferred Stocks
   Preferred stocks have the right to receive specified dividends or
   distributions before the issuer makes payments on its common stock. Some
   preferred stocks also participate in dividends and distributions paid on
   common stock. Preferred stocks may also permit the issuer to redeem the
   stock. A Fund may also treat such redeemable preferred stock as a fixed
   income security.


   Interests in Other Limited Liability Companies
   Entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, business
   trusts and companies organized outside the United States may issue securities
   comparable to common or preferred stock.

   Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
   REITs are real estate investment trusts that lease, operate and finance
   commercial real estate. REITs are exempt from federal corporate income tax if
   they limit their operations and distribute most of their income. Such tax
   requirements limit a REIT's ability to respond to changes in the commercial
   real estate market.

   Warrants
   Warrants give a Fund the option to buy the issuer's equity securities at a
   specified price (the exercise price) at a specified future date (the
   expiration date). The Fund may buy the designated securities by paying the
   exercise price before the expiration date. Warrants may become worthless if
   the price of the stock does not rise above the exercise price by the
   expiration date. This increases the market risks of warrants as compared to
   the underlying security. Rights are the same as warrants, except companies
   typically issue rights to existing stockholders.

Fixed Income Securities
Fixed income securities pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified
rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted
periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the
principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income
securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the
returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with
the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed income
securities as compared to equity securities.

A security's yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a
percentage of its price. A security's yield will increase or decrease depending
upon whether it costs less (a discount) or more (a premium) than the principal
amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the
price and yield on a discount or premium security may change based upon the
probability of an early redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have
higher yields.

The following describes the types of fixed income securities in which a Fund may
invest.

   Treasury Securities
   Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the
   United States. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the
   lowest credit risks.

   Agency Securities
   Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other
   government sponsored entity (GSE) acting under federal authority. Some GSE
   securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.
   These include the Government National Mortgage Association, Small Business
   Administration, Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation, Farmer's
   Home Administration, Federal Financing Bank, General Services Administration,
   Department of Housing and Urban Development, Export-Import Bank, Overseas
   Private Investment Corporation, and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
   Authority Bonds.

    Other GSE securities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or
   other benefits. For example, the U.S. Treasury is authorized to purchase
   specified amounts of securities issued by (or otherwise make funds available
   to) the Federal Home Loan Bank System, Federal Home Loan Mortgage
   Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, Student Loan Marketing
   Association, and Tennessee Valley Authority in support of such obligations.

   A few GSE securities have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as
   having implied support because the federal government sponsors their
   activities. These include the Farm Credit System, Financing Corporation, and
   Resolution Funding Corporation.

   Investors regard agency securities as having low credit risks, but not as low
   as Treasury securities.

   A Fund treats mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by a GSE as if issued or
   guaranteed by a federal agency. Although such a guarantee protects against
   credit risks, it does not reduce market and prepayment risks.



   Corporate Debt Securities
   Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses.
   Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of
   corporate debt securities. The Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans
   to companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among
   issuers.

   In addition, the credit risk of an issuer's debt security may vary based on
   its priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt
   securities have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated)
   securities. This means that the issuer might not make payments on
   subordinated securities while continuing to make payments on senior
   securities. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy, holders of senior
   securities may receive amounts otherwise payable to the holders of
   subordinated securities. Some subordinated securities, such as trust
   preferred and capital securities notes, also permit the issuer to defer
   payments under certain circumstances. For example, insurance companies issue
   securities known as surplus notes that permit the insurance company to defer
   any payment that would reduce its capital below regulatory requirements.

   Commercial Paper
   Commercial paper is an issuer's obligation with a maturity of less than nine
   months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current
   expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and use
   the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer cannot
   continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper may
   default. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and
   credit risks as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.

   Demand Instruments
   Demand instruments are corporate debt securities that the issuer must repay
   upon demand. Other demand instruments require a third party, such as a dealer
   or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The Fund
   treats demand instruments as short-term securities, even though their stated
   maturity may extend beyond one year.

   Taxable Municipal Securities
   Municipal securities are issued by states, counties, cities and other
   political subdivisions and authorities. Although many municipal securities
   are exempt from federal income tax, a Fund may invest in taxable municipal
   securities.

   Mortgage Backed Securities
   Mortgage backed securities represent interests in pools of mortgages. The
   mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates,
   maturities and other terms. Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest
   rates. Interests in pools of adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.

   Mortgage backed securities come in a variety of forms. Many have extremely
   complicated terms. The simplest form of mortgage backed securities are
   pass-through certificates. An issuer of pass-through certificates gathers
   monthly payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. Then, the issuer
   deducts its fees and expenses and passes the balance of the payments onto the
   certificate holders once a month. Holders of pass-through certificates
   receive a pro rata share of all payments and pre-payments from the underlying
   mortgages. As a result, the holders assume all the prepayment risks of the
   underlying mortgages.





      Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)
      CMOs, including interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits
      (REMICs), allocate payments and prepayments from an underlying
      pass-through certificate among holders of different classes of mortgage
      backed securities. This creates different prepayment and interest rate
      risks for each CMO class.

         Sequential CMOs
         In a sequential pay CMO, one class of CMOs receives all principal
         payments and prepayments. The next class of CMOs receives all principal
         payments after the first class is paid off. This process repeats for
         each sequential class of CMO. As a result, each class of sequential pay
         CMOs reduces the prepayment risks of subsequent classes.

         PACs, TACs and Companion Classes
         More sophisticated CMOs include planned amortization classes (PACs) and
         targeted amortization classes (TACs). PACs and TACs are issued with
         companion classes. PACs and TACs receive principal payments and
         prepayments at a specified rate. The companion classes receive
         principal payments and prepayments in excess of the specified rate. In
         addition, PACs will receive the companion classes' share of principal
         payments, if necessary, to cover a shortfall in the prepayment rate.
         This helps PACs and TACs to control prepayment risks by increasing the
         risks to their companion classes.

         IOs and POs
         CMOs may allocate interest payments to one class (Interest Only or IOs)
         and principal payments to another class (Principal Only or POs). POs
         increase in value when prepayment rates increase. In contrast, IOs
         decrease in value when prepayments increase, because the underlying
         mortgages generate less interest payments. However, IOs tend to
         increase in value when interest rates rise (and prepayments decrease),
         making IOs a useful hedge against interest rate risks.

         Floaters and Inverse Floaters
         Another variant allocates interest payments between two classes of
         CMOs. One class (Floaters) receives a share of interest payments based
         upon a market index such as LIBOR. The other class (Inverse Floaters)
         receives any remaining interest payments from the underlying mortgages.
         Floater classes receive more interest (and Inverse Floater classes
         receive correspondingly less interest) as interest rates rise. This
         shifts prepayment and interest rate risks from the Floater to the
         Inverse Floater class, reducing the price volatility of the Floater
         class and increasing the price volatility of the Inverse Floater class.

         Z Classes and Residual Classes
         CMOs must allocate all payments received from the underlying mortgages
         to some class. To capture any unallocated payments, CMOs generally have
         an accrual (Z) class. Z classes do not receive any payments from the
         underlying mortgages until all other CMO classes have been paid off.
         Once this happens, holders of Z class CMOs receive all payments and
         prepayments. Similarly, REMICs have residual interests that receive any
         mortgage payments not allocated to another REMIC class.

    The degree of increased or decreased prepayment risks depends upon the
    structure of the CMOs. However, the actual returns on any type of mortgage
    backed security depend upon the performance of the underlying pool of
    mortgages, which no one can predict and will vary among pools.

Asset Backed Securities
Asset backed securities are payable from pools of obligations other than
mortgages. Most asset backed securities involve consumer or commercial debts
with maturities of less than ten years. However, almost any type of fixed income
assets (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create an asset
backed security. Asset backed securities may take the form of commercial paper,
notes, or pass through certificates. Asset backed securities have prepayment
risks. Like CMOs, asset backed securities may be structured like Floaters,
Inverse Floaters, IOs and POs.

Zero Coupon Securities
Zero coupon securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity
unlike debt securities that provide periodic payments of interest (referred to
as a coupon payment). Investors buy zero coupon securities at a price below the
amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the
amount paid at maturity represents interest on the zero coupon security.
Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which
increases the market and credit risks of a zero coupon security.

There are many forms of zero coupon securities. Some are issued at a discount
and are referred to as zero coupon or capital appreciation bonds. Others are
created from interest bearing bonds by separating the right to receive the
bond's coupon payments from the right to receive the bond's principal due at
maturity, a process known as coupon stripping. Treasury STRIPs, IOs and POs are
the most common forms of stripped zero coupon securities. In addition, some
securities give the issuer the option to deliver additional securities in place
of cash interest payments, thereby increasing the amount payable at maturity.
These are referred to as pay-in-kind or PIK securities.

Bank Instruments
Bank  instruments  are unsecured  interest  bearing  deposits with banks.
Bank instruments  include bank accounts,  time deposits,  certificates of
deposit and banker's  acceptances.  Yankee  instruments  are  denominated
in  U.S.   dollars  and  issued  by  U.S.   branches  of  foreign  banks.
Eurodollar  instruments  are  denominated  in U.S.  dollars and issued by
non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks.

Credit Enhancement
Common types of credit enhancement include guarantees, letters of credit, bond
insurance and surety bonds. Credit enhancement also includes arrangements where
securities or other liquid assets secure payment of a fixed income security. If
a default occurs, these assets may be sold and the proceeds paid to security's
holders. Either form of credit enhancement reduces credit risks by providing
another source of payment for a fixed income security.

Convertible Securities
Convertible securities are fixed income securities that a Fund has the option to
exchange for equity securities at a specified conversion price. The option
allows the Fund to realize additional returns if the market price of the equity
securities exceeds the conversion price. For example, the Fund may hold fixed
income securities that are convertible into shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $10 per share. If the market value of the shares of common
stock reached $12, the Fund could realize an additional $2 per share by
converting its fixed income securities.

Convertible securities have lower yields than comparable fixed income
securities. In addition, at the time a convertible security is issued the
conversion price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities.
Thus, convertible securities may provide lower returns than non-convertible
fixed income securities or equity securities depending upon changes in the price
of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible securities permit the
Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the underlying equity
securities with less risk of losing its initial investment. The Equity Funds may
invest in commercial paper rated below investment grade. See "Risks Associated
with Non-investment Grade Securities" herein.

The Funds treat convertible securities as both fixed income and equity
securities for purposes of its investment policies and limitations, because of
their unique characteristics.

Tax Exempt Securities
Tax exempt securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not
subject to regular federal income taxes. Typically, states, counties, cities and
other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax exempt securities. The
market categorizes tax exempt securities by their source of repayment.

   General Obligation Bonds
   General obligation bonds are supported by the issuer's power to exact
   property or other taxes. The issuer must impose and collect taxes sufficient
   to pay principal and interest on the bonds. However, the issuer's authority
   to impose additional taxes may be limited by its charter or state law.

   Special Revenue Bonds
   Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific revenues received by
   the issuer such as specific taxes, assessments, tolls, or fees. Bondholders
   may not collect from the municipality's general taxes or revenues. For
   example, a municipality may issue bonds to build a toll road, and pledge the
   tolls to repay the bonds. Therefore, a shortfall in the tolls normally would
   result in a default on the bonds.

      Private Activity Bonds
      Private activity bonds are special revenue bonds used to finance private
      entities. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to finance a new
      factory to improve its local economy. The municipality would lend the
      proceeds from its bonds to the company using the factory, and the company
      would agree to make loan payments sufficient to repay the bonds. The bonds
      would be payable solely from the company's loan payments, not from any
      other revenues of the municipality. Therefore, any default on the loan
      normally would result in a default on the bonds.

      The interest on many types of private activity bonds is subject to the
      federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). A Fund may invest in bonds subject
      to AMT.



   Tax Increment Financing Bonds
   Tax increment financing (TIF) bonds are payable from increases in taxes or
   other revenues attributable to projects financed by the bonds. For example, a
   municipality may issue TIF bonds to redevelop a commercial area. The TIF
   bonds would be payable solely from any increase in sales taxes collected from
   merchants in the area. The bonds could default if merchants' sales, and
   related tax collections, failed to increase as anticipated.

   Municipal Securities
   Municipal Securities are issued by states, counties, cities and other
   political subdivisions and authorities. Although many municipal securities
   are exempt from federal income tax, the Funds may invest in taxable municipal
   securities.

   Municipal Notes
   Municipal notes are short-term tax exempt securities. Many municipalities
   issue such notes to fund their current operations before collecting taxes or
   other municipal revenues. Municipalities may also issue notes to fund capital
   projects prior to issuing long-term bonds. The issuers typically repay the
   notes at the end of their fiscal year, either with taxes, other revenues or
   proceeds from newly issued notes or bonds.

   Variable Rate Demand Instruments
   Variable rate demand instruments are tax exempt securities that require the
   issuer or a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security
   for its face value upon demand. The securities also pay interest at a
   variable rate intended to cause the securities to trade at their face value.
   The Funds treat demand instruments as short-term securities, because their
   variable interest rate adjusts in response to changes in market rates, even
   though their stated maturity may extend beyond thirteen months.

   Municipal Leases
   Municipalities may enter into leases for equipment or facilities. In order to
   comply with state public financing laws, these leases are typically subject
   to annual appropriation. In other words, a municipality may end a lease,
   without penalty, by not providing for the lease payments in its annual
   budget. After the lease ends, the lessor can resell the equipment or facility
   but may lose money on the sale.

   A Fund may invest in securities supported by pools of municipal leases. The
   most common type of lease backed securities are certificates of participation
   (COPs). However, a Fund may also invest directly in individual leases.

Foreign Securities
Foreign securities are securities of issuers based outside the United States.
The Funds consider an issuer to be based outside the United States if:

|     it is  organized  under  the laws  of,  or has a  principal  office
   located in, another country;

|     the  principal  trading  market  for its  securities  is in another
   country; or

|  it (or its subsidiaries) derived in its most current fiscal year at least 50%
   of its total assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit from goods
   produced, services performed, or sales made in another country.

Foreign securities are primarily denominated in foreign currencies. Along with
the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same type, foreign
securities are subject to currency risks and risks of foreign investing. Trading
in certain foreign markets is also subject to liquidity risks.

   Depositary Receipts
   Depositary receipts represent interests in underlying securities issued by a
   foreign company. Depositary receipts are not traded in the same market as the
   underlying security. The foreign securities underlying American Depositary
   Receipts (ADRs) are traded in the United States. ADRs provide a way to buy
   shares of foreign-based companies in the United States rather than in
   overseas markets. ADRs are also traded in U.S. dollars, eliminating the need
   for foreign exchange transactions.

   Foreign Exchange Contracts
   In order to convert U.S. dollars into the currency needed to buy a foreign
   security, or to convert foreign currency received from the sale of a foreign
   security into U.S. dollars, the Fund may enter into spot currency trades. In
   a spot trade, the Fund agrees to exchange one currency for another at the
   current exchange rate. The Fund may also enter into derivative contracts in
   which a foreign currency is an underlying asset. The exchange rate for
   currency derivative contracts may be higher or lower than the spot exchange
   rate. Use of these derivative contracts may increase or decrease the Fund's
   exposure to currency risks.


   Foreign Government Securities
   Foreign government securities generally consist of fixed income securities
   supported by national, state or provincial governments or similar political
   subdivisions. Foreign government securities also include debt obligations of
   supranational entities, such as international organizations designed or
   supported by governmental entities to promote economic reconstruction or
   development, international banking institutions and related government
   agencies. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, the
   International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), the
   Asian Development Bank, the European Investment Bank and the Inter-American
   Development Bank.

   Foreign government securities also include fixed income securities of
   quasi-governmental agencies that are either issued by entities owned by a
   national, state or equivalent government or are obligations of a political
   unit that are not backed by the national government's full faith and credit.
   Further, foreign government securities include mortgage-related securities
   issued or guaranteed by national, state or provincial governmental
   instrumentalities, including quasi-governmental agencies.

DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS
Derivative contracts are financial instruments that require payments based upon
changes in the values of designated (or underlying) securities, currencies,
commodities, financial indices or other assets. Some derivative contracts (such
as futures, forwards and options) require payments relating to a future trade
involving the underlying asset. Other derivative contracts (such as swaps)
require payments relating to the income or returns from the underlying asset.
The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.

Many derivative contracts are traded on securities or commodities exchanges. In
this case, the exchange sets all the terms of the contract except for the price.
Investors make payments due under their contracts through the exchange. Most
exchanges require investors to maintain margin accounts through their brokers to
cover their potential obligations to the exchange. Parties to the contract make
(or collect) daily payments to the margin accounts to reflect losses (or gains)
in the value of their contracts. This protects investors against potential
defaults by the counterparty. Trading contracts on an exchange also allows
investors to close out their contracts by entering into offsetting contracts.

For example, the Fund could close out an open contract to buy an asset at a
future date by entering into an offsetting contract to sell the same asset on
the same date. If the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase
price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the Fund realizes a loss.
Exchanges may limit the amount of open contracts permitted at any one time. Such
limits may prevent the Fund from closing out a position. If this happens, the
Fund will be required to keep the contract open (even if it is losing money on
the contract), and to make any payments required under the contract (even if it
has to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices to do so). Inability to
close out a contract could also harm the Fund by preventing it from disposing of
or trading any assets it has been using to secure its obligations under the
contract.

The Funds may also trade derivative contracts over-the-counter (OTC) in
transactions negotiated directly between the Fund and the counterparty. OTC
contracts do not necessarily have standard terms, so they cannot be directly
offset with other OTC contracts. In addition, OTC contracts with more
specialized terms may be more difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.

Depending upon how the Fund uses derivative contracts and the relationships
between the market value of a derivative contract and the underlying asset,
derivative contracts may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to market and
currency risks, and may also expose the Fund to liquidity and leverage risks.
OTC contracts also expose the Fund to credit risks in the event that a
counterparty defaults on the contract.

The Funds (other than the Money Market Funds) may trade in the following types
of derivative contracts.

   Futures Contracts
   Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by
   another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified
   price, date, and time. Entering into a contract to buy an underlying asset is
   commonly referred to as buying a contract or holding a long position in the
   asset. Entering into a contract to sell an underlying asset is commonly
   referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position in the asset.
   Futures contracts are considered to be commodity contracts. Futures contracts
   traded OTC are frequently referred to as forward contracts.

   The Funds may buy/sell financial futures contracts. Mid Cap Stock Fund and
   Large Cap Value Fund may also buy/sell stock index futures contracts.



   Options
   Options are rights to buy or sell an underlying asset for a specified price
   (the exercise price) during, or at the end of, a specified period. A call
   option gives the holder (buyer) the right to buy the underlying asset from
   the seller (writer) of the option. A put option gives the holder the right to
   sell the underlying asset to the writer of the option. The writer of the
   option receives a payment, or premium, from the buyer, which the writer keeps
   regardless of whether the buyer uses (or exercises) the option.

   The Funds may:

|     Buy call  options on portfolio  securities  in  anticipation  of an
   increase in the value of the underlying asset;

|  Buy put options on portfolio securities in anticipation of a decrease in the
   value of the underlying asset.

   Each Fund may also write call options on all or any portion of its portfolio
   securities and on financial or stock index futures contracts (as permitted)
   to generate income from premiums, and in anticipation of a decrease or only
   limited increase in the value of the underlying asset. If a call written by
   the Fund is exercised, the Fund foregoes any possible profit from an increase
   in the market price of the underlying asset over the exercise price plus the
   premium received.

   Each Fund may also write put options on all or a portion of its portfolio
   securities and on financial or stock index futures contracts (as permitted)
   to generate income from premiums, and in anticipation of an increase or only
   limited decrease in the value of the underlying asset. In writing puts, there
   is a risk that the Fund may be required to take delivery of the underlying
   asset when its current market price is lower than the exercise price.

   When the Fund writes options on futures contracts, it will be subject to
   margin requirements similar to those applied to futures contracts.

Investment Ratings for Money Market Funds
A nationally recognized rating service's two highest rating categories are
determined without regard for sub-categories and gradations. For example,
securities rated SP-1+, SP-1, or SP-2 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group
("S&P"), MIG-1 or MIG-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or
F-1+, F-1, or F-2 by Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch") are all considered
rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories. The Money Market
Funds will follow applicable regulations in determining whether a security rated
by more than one rating service can be treated as being in one of the two
highest short-term rating categories; currently, such securities must be rated
by two rating services in one of their two highest rating categories.
See "Regulatory Compliance."

If a security is downgraded below the minimum quality grade discussed in the
Fund's investment strategy, the Adviser or Subadviser will re-evaluate the
security, but will not be required to sell it.

Special Transactions

   Repurchase Agreements
   Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a
   dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon
   time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the
   Fund's return on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest
   rate on the underlying security. A Fund will enter into repurchase agreements
   only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as
   securities dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.

   The Funds' custodian or subcustodian will take possession of the securities
   subject to repurchase agreements. The Adviser or subcustodian will monitor
   the value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the
   security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

   Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.

   Reverse Repurchase Agreements
   Reverse repurchase agreements are repurchase agreements in which the Fund is
   the seller (rather than the buyer) of the securities, and agrees to
   repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price. A reverse repurchase
   agreement may be viewed as a type of borrowing by the Fund. Reverse
   repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks. In addition, reverse
   repurchase agreements create leverage risks because the Fund must repurchase
   the underlying security at a higher price, regardless of the market value of
   the security at the time of repurchase.

   Delayed Delivery Transactions
   Delayed delivery transactions, including when issued transactions, are
   arrangements in which the Fund buys securities for a set price, with payment
   and delivery of the securities scheduled for a future time. During the period
   between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer
   and no interest accrues to the Fund. The Fund records the transaction when it
   agrees to buy the securities and reflects their value in determining the
   price of its shares. Settlement dates may be a month or more after entering
   into these transactions so that the market values of the securities bought
   may vary from the purchase prices. Therefore, delayed delivery transactions
   create interest rate risks for the Fund. Delayed delivery transactions also
   involve credit risks in the event of a counterparty default.

      To Be Announced Securities (TBAs)
      As with other delayed delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue a
      TBA security at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the
      particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the Fund agrees to accept
      any security that meets specified terms. For example, in a TBA mortgage
      backed transaction, the Fund and the seller would agree upon the issuer,
      interest rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. The seller would not
      identify the specific underlying mortgages until it issues the security.
      TBA mortgage backed securities increase interest rate risks because the
      underlying mortgages may be less favorable than anticipated by the Fund.

   Securities Lending
   The Funds may lend portfolio securities to borrowers that the Adviser deems
   creditworthy. In return, the Fund receives cash or liquid securities from the
   borrower as collateral. The borrower must furnish additional collateral if
   the market value of the loaned securities increases. Also, the borrower must
   pay the Fund the equivalent of any dividends or interest received on the
   loaned securities.

   The Fund will reinvest cash collateral in securities that qualify as an
   acceptable investment for the Fund. However, the Fund must pay interest to
   the borrower for the use of cash collateral.

   Loans are subject to termination at the option of the Fund or the borrower.
   The Fund will not have the right to vote on securities while they are on
   loan, but it will terminate a loan in anticipation of any important vote. The
   Fund may pay administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan and
   may pay a negotiated portion of the interest earned on the cash collateral to
   a securities lending agent or broker.

   Securities lending activities are subject to interest rate risks and credit
   risks.

   Asset Coverage
   In order to secure its obligations in connection with derivatives contracts
   or special transactions, a Fund will either own the underlying assets, enter
   into an offsetting transaction or set aside readily marketable securities
   with a value that equals or exceeds the Fund's obligations. Unless the Fund
   has other readily marketable assets to set aside, it cannot trade assets used
   to secure such obligations without entering into an offsetting derivative
   contract or terminating a special transaction. This may cause the Fund to
   miss favorable trading opportunities or to realize losses on derivative
   contracts or special transactions.

   <R>

Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies The Funds may invest its
assets in securities of other investment companies, including the securities of
affiliated money market funds, as an efficient means of carrying out their
investment policies and managing any uninvested cash. See "Investment Risks -
Fund Expenses" on page 21 of this SAI and "Investment Limitations - Investing in
Other Investment Companies" on page 24 of this SAI.

Exchange-Traded Funds

</R>

The Funds may also invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in order to implement
its investment strategies. The shares of most ETFs are listed and traded on
stock exchanges at market prices, although some Shares may be redeemable at net
asset value for cash or securities. The Funds may invest in ETFs in order to
achieve exposure to a specific region, country or market sector, or for other
reasons consistent with its investment strategy. As with traditional mutual
funds, ETFs charge asset-based fees, although these fees tend to be relatively
low. ETFs generally do not charge initial sales charges or redemption fees and
investors pay only customary brokerage fees to buy and sell ETF shares.


INVESTMENT RISKS
=========================================================================

There are many factors which may affect an investment in the Funds. The Funds'
principal risks are described in the prospectus. Additional risk factors are
outlined below.





Stock Market Risks
The value of equity securities in a Fund's portfolio will rise and fall. These
fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. A Fund's
portfolio will reflect changes in prices of individual portfolio stocks or
general changes in stock valuations. Consequently, the Fund's share price may
decline.

The Adviser attempts to manage market risk by limiting the amount the Fund
invests in each company's equity securities. However, diversification will not
protect the Fund against widespread or prolonged declines in the stock market.

Sector Risks
Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad
categories called sectors. Sector risk is the possibility that a certain sector
may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As the Adviser
allocates more of a Fund's portfolio holdings to a particular sector, a Fund's
performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other
developments which generally affect that sector.

Liquidity Risks
Trading opportunities are more limited for equity securities that are not widely
held. This may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable
price or time. Consequently, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a
security, sell other securities to raise cash or give up an investment
opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Fund's
performance. Infrequent trading of securities may also lead to an increase in
their price volatility.

Trading opportunities are more limited for fixed income securities that have not
received any credit ratings, have received ratings below investment grade or are
not widely held.

Trading opportunities are more limited for CMOs that have complex terms or that
are not widely held. These features may make it more difficult to sell or buy a
security at a favorable price or time. Consequently, the Fund may have to accept
a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash or give up
an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the
Fund's performance. Infrequent trading of securities may also lead to an
increase in their price volatility.

Liquidity risk also refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to
sell a security or close out a derivative contract when it wants to. If this
happens, the Fund will be required to continue to hold the security or keep the
position open, and the Fund could incur losses.
OTC derivative contracts generally carry greater liquidity risk than
exchange-traded contracts.

Risks Related to Investing for Growth
Due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more
volatile than value stocks. For instance, the price of a growth stock may
experience a larger decline on a forecast of lower earnings, a negative
fundamental development, or an adverse market development. Further, growth
stocks may not pay dividends or may pay lower dividends than value stocks. This
means they depend more on price changes for returns and may be more adversely
affected in a down market compared to value stocks that pay higher dividends.

Risks Related to Investing for Value
Due to their relatively low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile
than growth stocks. For instance, the price of a value stock may experience a
smaller increase on a forecast of higher earnings, a positive fundamental
development, or positive market development. Further, value stocks tend to have
higher dividends than growth stocks. This means they depend less on price
changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

Risks Related to Company Size
Generally, the smaller the market capitalization of a company, the fewer the
number of shares traded daily, the less liquid its stock and the more volatile
its price. For example, medium capitalization stocks may be less liquid and more
volatile than stocks of larger, well-known companies. Market capitalization is
determined by multiplying the number of its outstanding shares by the current
market price per share.

Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have unproven track
records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. These
factors also increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than
companies with larger market capitalizations.



Currency Risks
<R>
Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. The combination of currency risk
and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile
than securities traded exclusively in the U.S.

</R>

Euro Risks
The Euro is the new single currency of the European Monetary Union (EMU). With
the advent of the Euro, the participating countries in the EMU can no longer
follow independent monetary policies. This may limit these countries' ability to
respond to economic downturns or political upheavals, and consequently reduce
the value of their foreign government securities.

Risks of Foreign Investing
Foreign securities pose additional risks because foreign economic or political
conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States. Securities in
foreign markets may also be subject to taxation policies that reduce returns for
U.S. investors.

Foreign companies may not provide information (including financial statements)
as frequently or to as great an extent as companies in the United States.
Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than United States companies by
market analysts and the financial press. In addition, foreign countries may lack
uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or regulatory
requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. These factors may
prevent the Fund and its Adviser from obtaining information concerning foreign
companies that is as frequent, extensive and reliable as the information
available concerning companies in the United States.

Foreign countries may have restrictions on foreign ownership of securities or
may impose exchange controls, capital flow restrictions or repatriation
restrictions which could adversely affect the liquidity of a Fund's investments.

To the extent a Fund invests in foreign securities, its share price may be more
affected by foreign economic and political conditions, taxation policies, and
accounting and auditing standards than would otherwise be the case.

Leverage Risks
Leverage risk is created when an investment exposes the Fund to a level of risk
that exceeds the amount invested. Changes in the value of such an investment
magnify a Fund's risk of loss and potential for gain.

Interest Rate Risks
Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the
interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise,
prices of fixed income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the
demand for particular fixed income securities, may cause the price of certain
fixed income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or
remain unchanged.

Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income
securities with longer durations. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a
fixed income security to changes in interest rates.

Credit Risks
Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by
failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, the Fund
will lose money.

Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from services such as
Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services, Inc. These services assign
ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower
credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received
a rating, the Fund must rely entirely upon the Adviser's credit assessment.

Fixed income securities generally compensate for greater credit risk by paying
interest at a higher rate. The difference between the yield of a security and
the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity (the spread)
measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may increase generally
in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A security's spread may
also increase if the security's rating is lowered, or the security is perceived
to have an increased credit risk. An increase in the spread will cause the price
of the security to decline.

Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving the
Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose the
benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other
securities to implement its investment strategy.



Call Risks
Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a fixed income security
before maturity (a call) at a price below its current market price. An increase
in the likelihood of a call may reduce the security's price.

If a fixed income security is called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds
in other fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher credit risks,
or other less favorable characteristics.



Prepayment Risks
Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time
without penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance high interest rate mortgages
when mortgage rates fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage backed
securities with higher interest rates. Conversely, prepayments due to
refinancings decrease when mortgage rates increase. This extends the life of
mortgage backed securities with lower interest rates. Other economic factors can
also lead to increases or decreases in prepayments. Increases in prepayments of
high interest rate mortgage backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of
lower interest rate mortgage backed securities, may reduce their yield and
price. These factors, particularly the relationship between interest rates and
mortgage prepayments makes the price of mortgage backed securities more volatile
than many other types of fixed income securities with comparable credit risks.

Mortgage backed securities generally compensate for greater prepayment risk by
paying a higher yield. The difference between the yield of a mortgage backed
security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity
(the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may
increase generally in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A
security's spread may also increase if the security is perceived to have an
increased prepayment risk or perceived to have less market demand. An increase
in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.

The Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds of mortgage prepayments in other
fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher prepayment risks, or
other less favorable characteristics.

Risks Associated with Noninvestment Grade Securities
The securities in which the Funds may invest may be rated below investment
grade. Securities rated below investment grade may be subject to the same risks
as those inherent in corporate debt obligations that are rated below investment
grade, also known as junk bonds. Junk bonds generally entail greater market,
credit and liquidity risks than investment grade securities. For example, their
prices are more volatile, economic downturns and financial setbacks may affect
their prices more negatively, and their trading market may be more limited.

Risks Associated with Complex CMOs
CMOs with complex or highly variable prepayment terms, such as companion
classes, IOs, POs, Inverse Floaters and residuals, generally entail greater
market, prepayment and liquidity risks than other mortgage backed securities.
For example, their prices are more volatile and their trading market may be more
limited.

Tax Risks
In order to be tax-exempt, municipal securities must meet certain legal
requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received
and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.

Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of
municipal securities to fall.

Tracking Error Risk

Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund's
investments and those of its benchmarks, rounding of share prices, changes to
the benchmark, regulatory policies, and leverage, may affect its ability to
achieve perfect correlation. The magnitude of any tracking error may be affected
by a higher portfolio turnover rate. Because an index is just a composite of the
prices of the securities it represents rather than an actual portfolio of those
securities, an index will have no expenses. As a result, the Funds, which will
have expenses such as custody, management fees and other operational costs, and
brokerage expenses, may not achieve its investment objective of accurately
correlating to an index.






Lower-Quality Municipal Securities

The Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund may invest
a portion of their assets in lower-quality municipal securities as described in
the prospectus. While the markets for Maryland and Pennsylvania municipal
securities are considered to be adequate, adverse publicity and changing
investor perceptions may affect the ability of outside pricing services used by
the Funds to value their portfolio securities, and their ability to dispose of
lower-quality bonds. The outside pricing services are monitored by the Advisor
to determine whether the services are furnishing prices that accurately reflect
fair value. The impact of changing investor perceptions may be especially
pronounced in markets where municipal securities are thinly traded.


The Funds may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue
litigation or otherwise exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to
protect the interest of security holders if it determines this to be in the best
interest of the Funds' shareholders.

Fund Expenses - Managed Allocation Funds

Mutual fund portfolios bear charges for advisory fees and operational expenses.
The Managed Allocation Funds and the Underlying Funds in which they invest each
bear these expenses, so investors in the Managed Allocation Funds may bear
higher expenses than a fund that invests directly in equity, fixed income or
money market securities.

Exchange-Traded Funds

An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an
investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange traded) that
has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The price of an
ETF can fluctuate up or down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF
if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down. In addition, ETFs may
be subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional funds: (i)
the market price of an ETF's shares may trade above or below their net asset
value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF's shares may not develop or be
maintained; or (iii) trading of an ETF's shares may be halted if the listing
exchange's officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from
the exchange, or the activation of market-wide "circuit breakers" (which are
tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.

thereunder, or any SEC staff interpretation thereof.

Underwriting
The Funds may not underwrite the securities of other issuers, except that the
Funds may engage in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or
resale of their portfolio securities, under circumstances where the Funds may be
considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933.

Investing in Real Estate
The Funds may not purchase or sell real estate, provided that this restriction
does not prevent the Funds from investing in issuers which invest, deal, or
otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or
investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein.
The Funds may exercise their rights under agreements relating to such
securities, including the right to enforce security interests and hold real
estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be
liquidated in an orderly manner.

Lending Cash or Securities
The Funds may not make loans, provided that this restriction does not prevent
the Funds from purchasing debt obligations, entering into repurchase agreements,
lending their assets to broker/dealers or institutional investors and investing
in loans, including assignments and participation interests.

Investing in Commodities
The Funds may not purchase or sell physical commodities, provided that the Funds
may purchase securities of companies that deal in commodities. For purposes of
this restriction, investments in transactions involving futures contracts and
options, forward currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial
contracts that settle by payment of cash are not deemed to be investments in
commodities.

Concentration of Investments
The Funds will not make investments that will result in the concentration of
their investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same
industry. For purposes of this restriction, the term concentration has the
meaning set forth in the 1940 Act, any rule or order thereunder, or any SEC
staff interpretation thereof. Government securities and municipal securities
will not be deemed to constitute an industry.


Diversification - all Funds except New York Municipal Bond Fund With respect to
securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, the Funds will not
purchase securities of any one issuer (other than cash; cash items; securities
issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its agencies or
instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such U.S.
government securities; and securities of other investment companies) if, as a
result, more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be invested in the
securities of that issuer, or the Funds would own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer.

Investing in Exempt-Interest Obligations
The New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund will not invest less than 80% of its net
assets in securities the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax,
including AMT obligations.

The above limitations cannot be changed unless authorized by the Board of
Trustees (Board) and by the "vote of a majority of its outstanding voting
securities," as defined by the 1940 Act. The following limitations, however, may
be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be
notified before any material change in these limitations becomes effective.

Buying on Margin
     U.S Treasury Money Market Fund, Money Market Fund and New York Tax Free
     Money Market Fund: The Funds will not purchase securities on margin,
     provided that the Funds may obtain short-term credits necessary for the
     clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

     New York Municipal Bond Fund, U.S. Government Bond Fund, Large Cap Value
     Fund, and Large Cap Growth Fund: The Funds will not purchase securities on
     margin, provided that the Funds may obtain short-term credits necessary for
     the clearance of purchases and sales of securities, and further provided
     that the Funds may make margin deposits in connection with its use of
     financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap
     transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments.

     Mid-Cap Stock Fund: The Fund will not purchase on margin, provided that the
     Fund may obtain short-term credits necessary for the clearance of purchases
     and sales of securities, and further provided that the Fund may make margin
     deposits in connection with its use of financial options and futures,
     forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial
     contracts or derivative instruments.

Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money
As an operating (non-fundamental) policy, the New York Tax-Free Money Market
Fund does not anticipate entering into reverse repurchase agreements in excess
of 5% of its net assets.

Illiquid Securities

A Fund may not purchase or acquire any security if, as a result, more than 15%
of its net assets would be invested in securities that are illiquid.

Dealing in Puts and Calls
The New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund will not write or purchase put or call
options.

Purchasing Securities to Exercise Control
The New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund will not invest in any issuer for
purposes of exercising control or management.

Borrowing Money
The New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund will not borrow money for investment
leverage, but rather as a temporary, extraordinary, or emergency measure or to
facilitate management of the portfolio by enabling the Fund to meet redemption
requests when the liquidation of portfolio assets is deemed to be inconvenient
or disadvantageous. The Fund will not purchase any securities while borrowings
in excess of 5% of the value of its total assets are outstanding. The New York
Tax-Free Money Market Fund does not anticipate entering into reverse repurchase
agreements in excess of 5% of its net assets.

Pledging Assets

The Funds will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any of their assets,
provided that this shall not apply to the transfer of securities in connection
with any permissible borrowing or to collateral arrangements in connection with
permissible activities.

Investing in Other Investment Companies
The Funds may invest their assets in securities of other investment companies,
including ETFs, as an efficient means of carrying out their investment policies.
It should be noted that investment companies incur certain expenses, such as
management fees, and, therefore, any investment by the Funds in shares of other
investment companies may be subject to such duplicate expenses. At the present
time, the Funds expect that their investments in other investment companies may
include shares of money market funds, including funds affiliated with the Funds'
investment advisor, and ETFs.

In applying the Funds' concentration restriction: (a) utility companies will be
divided according to their services, for example, gas, gas transmission,
electric and telephone will each be considered a separate industry; (b)
financial service companies will be classified according to the end users of
their services, for example, automobile finance, bank finance and diversified
finance will each be considered a separate industry; and (c) asset-backed
securities will be classified according to the underlying assets securing such
securities. To conform to the current view of the SEC that only domestic bank
instruments may be excluded from industry concentration limitations, as a matter
of non-fundamental policy, the Funds will not exclude foreign bank instruments
from industry concentration limits as long as the policy of the SEC remains in
effect. In addition, investments in bank instruments, and investments in certain
industrial development bonds funded by activities in a single industry, will be
deemed to constitute investment in an industry, except when held for temporary
defensive purposes. The investment of more than 25% of the value of the Funds'
total assets in any one industry will constitute "concentration."

Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to
at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting
from any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such
restriction. Except for the Large Cap Growth Fund, none of the Funds has any
present intent to borrow money in excess of 5% of the value of its net assets
during the coming fiscal year.

For purposes of its policies and limitations, the Funds consider certificates of
deposit and demand and time deposits issued by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank
or savings and loan having capital, surplus, and undivided profits in excess of
$100,000,000 at the time of investment to be "cash items."

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS - ALL OTHER FUNDS
=========================================================================

The following investment restrictions may be changed only by a vote of the
majority of the outstanding Shares of a Fund.

All Funds except Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Maryland Municipal Bond Fund
and New York Municipal Bond Fund will not:

1. Purchase securities of any one issuer, other than obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government (and "regulated investment companies" as
defined in the Code for each Fund except Small Cap Stock Fund and Short Duration
Government Bond Fund), its agencies or instrumentalities, if, immediately after
such purchase, more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in such
issuer or the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of the issuer, except that 25% or less of the Fund's total assets may be
invested without regard to such limitations. There is no limit to the percentage
of assets that may be invested in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or other
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.

2. Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25% of the Fund's total
assets at the time of purchase to be invested in securities of one or more
issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry,
provided that (a) there is no limitation with respect to obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, and
repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities (and "regulated investment companies" as defined
in the Code for each Fund except Small Cap Stock Fund and Short Duration
Government Bond Fund); (b) wholly owned finance companies will be considered to
be in the industries of their parents if their activities are primarily related
to financing the activities of their parents; (c) with respect to all Funds
except the three Managed Allocation Funds and Small Cap Stock Fund, utilities
will be divided according to their services (for example, gas, gas transmission,
electric and gas, electric, and telephone will each be considered a separate
industry); and (d) with respect to all Funds except the three Managed Allocation
Funds, the International Equity Fund and the Short Duration Government Bond
Fund, technology companies will be divided according to their services (for
example, medical devices, biotechnology, semi-conductor, software and
communications will each be considered a separate industry).

The Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and New York
Municipal Bond Fund will not:

1. Purchase securities of any one issuer, other than obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, if at the
end of each fiscal quarter, (a) more than 5% of the Fund's total assets (taken
at current value) would be invested in such issuer (except that up to 50% of the
Fund's total assets may be invested without regard to such 5% limitation), and
(b) more than 25% of its total assets (taken at current value) would be invested
in securities of a single issuer. There is no limit to the percentage of assets
that may be invested in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or other obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. For
purposes of this limitation, a security is considered to be issued by the
governmental entity (or entities) whose assets and revenues back the security,
or, with respect to a private activity bond that is backed only by the assets
and revenues of a non-governmental user, such non-governmental user.

2. Make investments that will result in the concentration of its investments in
the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry. For purposes
of this restriction, the term concentration has the meaning set forth in the
1940 Act, any rule or order thereunder, or any SEC staff interpretation thereof.
Government securities and municipal securities, except industrial development
bonds, will not be deemed to constitute an industry.

In addition, all Funds will not:

1.Borrow money or issue senior securities except that each Fund may enter into
reverse repurchase agreements and may otherwise borrow money or issue senior
securities as and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or any rule, order or
interpretation thereunder. (The 1940 Act currently permits each Fund to borrow
up to one-third the value of its total assets at the time of such borrowing.)

2. Make loans, except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt instruments and
lend portfolio securities in accordance with its investment objective and
policies, make time deposits with financial institutions and enter into
repurchase agreements.

3. Purchase securities on margin, except for use of short-term credit necessary
for clearance of purchases of portfolio securities, except as may be necessary
to make margin payments in connection with derivative securities transactions,
and except to the extent disclosed in the current prospectus or statement of
additional information of such Fund;

4. Underwrite the securities issued by other persons, except to the extent that
the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter under certain securities laws in the
disposition of "restricted securities";

5. Purchase or sell real estate (although investments in marketable securities
of companies engaged in such activities and securities secured by real estate or
interests therein are not prohibited by this restriction); and

6. Purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except to the extent
disclosed in the current prospectus or statement of additional information of
such Fund.

The following investment restrictions may be changed without the vote of a
majority of the outstanding Shares of the Funds. Each Fund may not:

1. Purchase or otherwise acquire any security if, as a result, more than 15%
(10% in the case of New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund, U.S. Treasury Money
Market Fund, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money
Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund -- collectively, the "Money Market
Funds") of its net assets would be invested in securities that are illiquid.

2. Purchase securities of other investment companies, except (a) in connection
with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or reorganization, and (b) to the
extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or pursuant to any exemptions therefrom.

3. Mortgage or hypothecate the Fund's assets in excess of one-third of such
Fund's total assets.

4. The Small Cap Stock Fund, the International Equity Fund and the Money Market
Funds may not engage in any short sales. Each Fund other than the Small Cap
Fund, the International Equity Fund and the Managed Allocation Funds may not
engage in short sales of any securities at any time if, immediately after and as
a result of the short sale, the market value of securities sold short by such
Fund would exceed 25% of the value of that Fund's total assets.

In applying the concentration restriction for Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund,
Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and New York Municipal Bond Fund, investments in
certain industrial development bonds funded by activities in a single industry
will be deemed to constitute investment in an industry. In addition, (a) utility
companies will be divided according to their services, for example, gas, gas
transmission, electric and telephone will each be considered a separate
industry; (b) financial service companies will be classified according to the
end users of their services, for example, automobile finance, bank finance and
diversified finance will each be considered a separate industry; and (c)
asset-backed securities will be classified according to the underlying assets
securing such securities.

If any percentage restriction or requirement described above is satisfied at the
time of investment, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting
from a change in asset value will not constitute a violation of such restriction
or requirement. However, should a change in net asset value (NAV) or other
external events cause a Fund's investments in illiquid securities to exceed the
limit set forth in this Statement of Additional Information for its investment
in illiquid securities, such Fund will act to cause the aggregate amount of such
securities to come within such limit as soon as reasonably practicable. In such
an event, however, no Fund would be required to liquidate any portfolio
securities where such Fund would suffer a loss on the sale of such securities.

The Underlying Funds in which the Managed Allocation Funds may invest have
adopted certain investment restrictions which may be more or less restrictive
than those listed above, thereby allowing a Managed Allocation Fund to
participate in certain investment strategies indirectly that may be prohibited
under the fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions and policies
listed above. In addition, because the Managed Allocation Funds rely on Section
12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act to invest in the Underlying Funds, each of the
Underlying Funds are not permitted to acquire securities of certain other
investment companies in reliance upon the provisions of Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or
12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
The Money Market Funds may follow non-fundamental operational policies that are
more restrictive than their fundamental investment limitations, as set forth in
the prospectus and this statement of additional information, in order to comply
with applicable laws and regulations, including the provisions of and
regulations under the 1940 Act. In particular, the Money Market Funds will
comply with the various requirements of Rule 2a-7 (the Rule), which regulates
money market mutual funds. The Money Market Funds will determine the effective
maturity of their investments according to the Rule. The Money Market Funds may
change these operational policies to reflect changes in the laws and regulations
without the approval of their shareholders.


PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The portfolio turnover rate for each Fund is calculated by dividing the lesser
of a Fund's purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the year by the
monthly average value of the portfolio securities. The Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) requires that the calculation exclude all securities whose
remaining maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less.

The portfolio turnover rate for a Fund may vary greatly from year to year, and
may also be affected by cash management requirements for share redemptions. High
portfolio turnover rates will generally result in higher transaction costs,
including brokerage commissions, to a Fund and may result in tax consequences to
shareholders. Portfolio turnover will not be a limiting factor in making
investment decisions.







For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, the portfolio turnover rates
for each of the following Funds were as follows:
<R>
Fund                                                              2005      2004
----                                                                        ----

International Equity Fund.........................................59%       53%
Small Cap Growth Fund+............................................443%     256%
Small Cap Stock Fund............................................   90%      55%

Mid Cap Growth Fund*+............................................. 52%      99%

Mid Cap Stock Fund+.............................................. 210%      99%

Multi Cap Growth Fund+........................................... 264%     186%

Managed Allocation Fund - Aggressive Growth...................... 114%       5%

Managed Allocation Fund - Moderate Growth .....................    98%      15%

Managed Allocation Fund - Conservative Growth ....................   61%    14%

Intermediate-Term Bond Fund*+...................................  197%     154%
Income Fund*+....................................................    86%   177%

Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund*+...............................   97%       99%

Maryland Municipal Bond Fund......................................   13%      17%
Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund...............................   27%       11%

New York Municipal Bond Fund......................................   41%
40%...................................................
Short Duration Government Bond Fund**+............................   83%   125%

U.S. Government Bond Fund +....................................   106%      64%

</R>
+ These Funds have higher portfolio turnover rates and therefore may
incur higher brokerage and transaction expenses, which  may adversely
impact performance.

*The variation in each Fund's portfolio turnover rate from 2005 to 2004
was due to the Funds' investment policies which by nature are conducive
to either higher or lower portfolio turnover when appropriate under
market conditions.

**The portfolio turnover rate for the Short Duration Government Bond Fund may
vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular year, and may also
be affected by cash requirements for redemptions of Shares. High portfolio
turnover rates will generally result in higher transaction costs, including
brokerage commissions, to the Short Duration Government Bond Fund and may result
in additional tax consequences to the Fund's shareholders.

DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES
=========================================================================

MONEY MARKET FUNDS
The Trustees have decided that the best method for determining the value of
portfolio instruments is amortized cost. Under this method, portfolio
instruments are valued at the acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of
premium or accumulation of discount rather than at current market value.
Accordingly, neither the amount of daily income nor the NAV is affected by any
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of the portfolio. In periods of
declining interest rates, the indicated daily yield on Shares of the Fund
computed by dividing the annualized daily income on the Fund's portfolio by the
NAV computed as above may tend to be higher than a similar computation made by
using a method of valuation based upon market prices and estimates. In periods
of rising interest rates, the opposite may be true.

A Fund's use of the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio instruments
depends on its compliance with certain conditions in the Rule promulgated by the
SEC under the 1940 Act. Under the Rule, the Trustees must establish procedures
reasonably designed to stabilize the NAV per share, as computed for purposes of
distribution and redemption, at $1.00 per share, taking into account current
market conditions and the Fund's investment objective. The procedures include
monitoring the relationship between the amortized cost value per share and the
NAV per share based upon available indications of market value. The Trustees
will decide what, if any, steps should be taken if there is a difference of more
than 0.5 of 1% between the two values. The Trustees will take any steps they
consider appropriate (such as redemption in kind or shortening the average
portfolio maturity) to minimize any material dilution or other unfair results
arising from differences between the two methods of determining NAV.

INCOME, BALANCED AND EQUITY FUNDS
Market values of the Income, Balanced and Equity Funds' portfolio securities are
determined as follows:

| for equity securities, according to the last sale price in the market in which
  they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the
  over-the-counter market), if available;

|     in the absence of recorded sales for equity  securities,  according
  to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;

| futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values
  established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading
  on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally
  valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for
  the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution
  that deals in the option. The Board may determine in good faith that another
  method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market
  value;

| for fixed income securities, according to the mean between bid and asked
  prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed
  income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time
  of purchase may be valued at amortized cost; and

| for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with
  procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without
relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in
similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate,
maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or
factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent
pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or
other financial institutions that trade the securities.

TRADING IN FOREIGN SECURITIES
Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the
closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund
values foreign securities at the latest closing price on the exchange on which
they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign
currency exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the
closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined.
Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur
between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If
such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these
securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the
Funds' Board, although the actual calculation may be done by others.

WHAT DO SHARES COST?
=========================================================================

Each Equity, Balanced, Managed Allocation and Income Fund's NAV per Share
fluctuates and is based on the market value of all securities and other assets
of the Fund.

The NAV for each class of Shares may differ due to the variance in daily net
income realized by each class. Such variance will reflect only accrued net
income to which the shareholders of a particular class are entitled.

HOW ARE THE FUNDS SOLD?
=========================================================================

Under  the   Distributor's   Contract  with  the  Fund,  the  Distributor
(Edgewood  Services,  Inc.) offers Shares on a  continuous,  best-efforts
basis.

FRONT-END SALES CHARGE REALLOWANCES
The Distributor receives a front-end sales charge on certain Share sales. The
Distributor generally pays up to 90% (and as much as 100%) of this charge to
investment professionals for sales and/or administrative services. Any payments
to investment professionals in excess of 90% of the front-end sales charge are
considered supplemental payments. The Distributor retains any portion not paid
to an investment professional, and makes this available for marketing and
sales-related activities and expenses, including those of the Advisor and its
affiliates.


ADVANCE COMMISSIONS
When an investment professional's customer purchases Shares, the investment
professional may receive an advance commission as follows:


Class A Shares (for purchases over $1 million)

Stock, Balanced and Managed Allocation Funds (except for Equity Index
Fund, Mid Cap Stock Fund and Small Cap Stock Fund)
                                                Advance Commission
                                                as a Percentage of
          Purchase Amount                      Public Offering Price
     $1 million - $2,999,999.99                        1.00%
   $3 million up to $4,999,999.99                      0.50%
          Over $5 million                              0.25%

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

Bond Funds

                                                 Advance Commission
                                                 as a Percentage of
          Purchase Amount                       Public Offering Price
    $1 million - $2,999,999.99                          0.75%
  $3 million up to $4,999,999.99                        0.50%
          Over $5 million                               0.25%

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

Advance commissions are calculated on a year by year basis based on amounts
invested during that year. Accordingly, with respect to additional purchase
amounts, the advance commission breakpoint resets annually to the first
breakpoint on the anniversary of the first purchase.

Class A Share purchases under this program may be made by Letter of Intent or by
combining concurrent purchases. The above advance commission will be paid only
on those purchases that were not previously subject to a front-end sales charge
or dealer advance commission. Certain retirement accounts may not be eligible
for this program.


RULE 12B-1 PLAN
<R>

As a compensation-type plan, the Rule 12b-1 Plan is designed to pay a financial
intermediary (including the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates) for
activities principally intended to result in the sale of Shares such as
advertising and marketing of Shares (including printing and disseminating
prospectuses and sales literature to prospective shareholders and financial
intermediaries) and providing incentives to financial intermediaries to sell
Shares. The Plan is also designed to cover the cost of administrative services
performed in conjunction with the sale of Shares, including, but not limited to,
shareholder services, recordkeeping services and educational services, as well
as the costs of implementing and operating the Plan. In accordance with the
Distribution Plan, the Distributor or the Funds may enter into agreements with
brokers and dealers relating to distribution and/or marketing services with
respect to the Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of the Funds. The Distributor
or the Funds may also enter into Rule 12b-1 related agreements with
administrators (including financial intermediaries, fiduciaries, custodians for
public funds, and investment advisers) to provide distribution related and other
services with respect to the Class A, Class B and Class C Shares. The Rule 12b-1
Plan is expected to benefit a Fund in a number of ways. For example, it is
anticipated that the Plan will help a Fund attract and retain assets, thus
providing cash for orderly portfolio management and Share redemptions and
possibly helping to stabilize or reduce other operating expenses.

</R>

In addition, the Plan is integral to the multiple class structure of the Funds,
which promotes the sale of Shares by providing a range of options to investors.
The Funds' service providers that receive asset-based fees also benefit from
stable or increasing Fund assets.

A Fund may compensate a financial intermediary more or less than its actual
marketing and administrative expenses. In no event will a Fund pay for any
expenses of a financial intermediary that exceed the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee
of 0.25% of the Funds' average daily net assets.

For some classes of Shares, the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee that can be paid in
any one year may not be sufficient to cover the marketing-related expenses the
financial intermediary has incurred. Therefore, it may take the financial
intermediary a number of years to recoup these expenses.

The Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates may benefit from arrangements
where the Rule 12b-1 Plan fees related to Class B Shares may be paid to third
parties who have provided the funds to make advance commission payments to
financial intermediaries.

Class C Shares

In most cases, investment professionals that sell Class C Shares are entitled to
receive a 0.75% 12b-1 fee on assets in the 13th month after the sale.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
The Funds may pay financial intermediaries, including the Distributor, the
Advisor and their affiliates for providing shareholder services and maintaining
shareholder accounts. The financial intermediary may select others to perform
these services for their customers and may pay them fees.

Class B Shares

In most cases, investment professionals that sell Class B Shares are entitled to
receive a 0.25% shareholders services fee on assets in the 13th month after the
sale.


ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
In addition to the Rule 12b-1 and/or shareholder services fees that a Fund pays
to financial intermediaries, the Distributor, its affiliate Federated Services
Company, and the Advisor and its affiliates may pay out of their own reasonable
resources and profits amounts (including items of material value) to certain
financial intermediaries. While NASD regulations limit the sales charges that
you may bear as a Fund shareholder, there are no limits with regard to the
amounts that the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates may pay out of
their own resources. You can ask your financial intermediary for information
about any payments it receives from the Distributor, the Advisor and their
affiliates for any service the financial intermediary provides.

The following examples illustrate the types of instances in which the
Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates may make additional payments to
financial intermediary.

SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
Financial intermediaries may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor,
its affiliate Federated Services Company, and the Advisor and its affiliates
(but not out of Fund assets).

Financial intermediaries may receive fees for providing distribution-related,
recordkeeping or shareholder services such as sponsoring sales, providing sales
literature, conducting training seminars for employees, and engineering
sales-related computer software programs and systems. Also, financial
intermediaries may be paid cash or promotional incentives, such as reimbursement
of certain expenses relating to attendance at informational meetings about a
Fund or other special events at recreational-type facilities, or items of
material value. These payments will be based upon the amount of Shares the
financial intermediary sells or may sell and/or upon the type and nature of
sales or marketing support furnished by the financial intermediary.


Processing Support Payments
The Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates may make payments to financial
intermediaries that sell Fund Shares to help offset their costs associated with
client account maintenance support, statement processing and transaction
processing. The types of payments that they may make under this category
include: payment of ticket charges on a per transaction basis; payment of
networking fees; and payment for ancillary services such as setting up funds on
the financial intermediaries' mutual fund trading system.


Retirement Plan Program Servicing Payments
The Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates may make payments to certain
financial intermediaries who sell Fund Shares through retirement plan programs.
A financial intermediary may perform retirement plan program services itself or
may arrange with a third party to perform retirement plan program services. In
addition to participant recordkeeping, reporting, or transaction processing,
retirement plan program services may include services rendered to a plan in
connection with fund/investment selection and monitoring; employee enrollment
and education; plan balance rollover or separation, or other similar services.


Other Benefits to Financial intermediaries
From time to time, the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates, at their
expense, may provide additional compensation to financial intermediaries that
sell or arrange for the sale of Shares. Such compensation may include financial
assistance to financial intermediaries that enable the Distributor, the Advisor
and their affiliates to participate in or present at conferences or seminars,
sales or training programs for invited employees, client and investor events and
other financial intermediary-sponsored events.

The Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates also may hold or sponsor, at
their expense, sales events, conferences and programs for employees or
associated persons of financial intermediaries and may pay the travel and
lodging expenses of attendees. The Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates
also may provide, at their expense, meals and entertainment in conjunction with
meetings with financial intermediaries. Other compensation may be offered to the
extent not prohibited by applicable laws, regulations or the rules of any
self-regulatory agency, such as the NASD.

EXCHANGING SECURITIES FOR SHARES
=========================================================================
You may contact the Distributor to request a purchase of Shares in exchange for
securities you own. The Funds reserve the right to determine whether to accept
your securities and the minimum market value to accept. The Funds will value
your securities in the same manner as it values its assets. This exchange is
treated as a sale of your securities for federal tax purposes.

SUBACCOUNTING SERVICES
=========================================================================

Certain investment professionals may wish to use the transfer agent's
subaccounting system to minimize their internal recordkeeping requirements. The
transfer agent may charge a fee based on the level of subaccounting services
rendered. Investment professionals holding Shares in a fiduciary, agency,
custodial, or similar capacity may charge or pass through subaccounting fees as
part of or in addition to normal trust or agency account fees. They may also
charge fees for other services that may be related to the ownership of Shares.
This information should, therefore, be read together with any agreement between
the customer and the investment professional about the services provided, the
fees charged for those services, and any restrictions and limitations imposed.

REDEMPTION IN KIND
=========================================================================

Although each Fund intends to pay Share redemptions in cash, it reserves the
right, as described below, to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of a Fund's portfolio securities. Because the Funds have elected to
be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund is obligated to pay
Share redemptions to any one shareholder in cash only up to the lesser of
$250,000 or 1% of the net assets represented by such Share class during any
90-day period.

Any Share redemption payment greater than this amount will also be in cash
unless the Funds' Board determines that payment should be in kind. In such a
case, the Fund will pay all or a portion of the remainder of the redemption in
portfolio securities, valued in the same way as the Fund determines its NAV. The
portfolio securities will be selected in a manner that the Funds' Board deems
fair and equitable and, to the extent available, such securities will be readily
marketable.

Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash redemption. If redemption is made
in kind, shareholders receiving the portfolio securities and selling them before
their maturity could receive less than the redemption value of the securities
and could incur certain transaction costs.


=========================================================================

ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION

VOTING RIGHTS
Each Share of a Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote.

TAX INFORMATION
=========================================================================


FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Each Fund intends to meet requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not
met, it will not receive special tax treatment and will be subject to federal
corporate income tax.

Each Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax
purposes so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the
Trust's other portfolios will be separate from those realized by the Fund.

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
If a Fund purchases foreign securities, their investment income may be subject
to foreign withholding or other taxes that could reduce the return on these
securities. Tax treaties between the United States and foreign countries,
however, may reduce or eliminate the amount of foreign taxes to which the Fund
would be subject. The effective rate of foreign tax cannot be predicted since
the amount of Fund assets to be invested within various countries is uncertain.
However, the Funds intend to operate so as to qualify for treaty-reduced tax
rates when applicable.

Distributions from a Fund may be based on estimates of book income for the year.
Book income generally consists solely of the coupon income generated by the
portfolio, whereas tax-basis income includes gains or losses attributable to
currency fluctuation. Due to differences in the book and tax treatment of
fixed-income securities denominated in foreign currencies, it is difficult to
project currency effects on an interim basis. Therefore, to the extent that
currency fluctuations cannot be anticipated, a portion of distributions to
shareholders could later be designated as a return of capital, rather than
income, for income tax purposes, which may be of particular concern to simple
trusts.

If a Fund invests in the stock of certain foreign corporations, they may
constitute Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC), and the Fund may be
subject to Federal income taxes upon disposition of PFIC investments.






TAX-FREE  PORTFOLIOS:  TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND,  PENNSYLVANIA TAX FREE
MONEY  MARKET  FUND,  NEW  YORK  TAX-FREE  MONEY  MARKET  FUND,  MARYLAND
MUNICIPAL  BOND  FUND,  NEW YORK  MUNICIPAL  BOND  FUND AND  PENNSYLVANIA
MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

If a Tax-Free Portfolio satisfies the requirement that, at the close of each
quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets
consists of securities the interest on which is excludable from gross income
under section 103(a) of the Code, it may pay "exempt-interest dividends" to its
shareholders; each Tax-Free Portfolio intends to continue to satisfy this
requirement. Those dividends constitute the portion of its aggregate dividends
(excluding capital gain distributions) equal to the excess of its excludable
interest over certain amounts disallowed as deductions. Exempt-interest
dividends are excludable from a shareholder's gross income for Federal income
tax purposes, although the amount of those dividends must be reported on the
recipient's Federal income tax return. Shareholders' treatment of dividends from
a Tax-Free Portfolio under state and local income tax laws may differ from the
treatment thereof under the Code. Investors should consult their tax advisors
concerning this matter.

Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued by a shareholder to purchase or
carry shares of a Tax-Free Portfolio is not deductible for federal income tax
purposes. Under IRS rules for determining when borrowed funds are used for
purchasing or carrying particular assets, Tax-Free Portfolio shares may be
considered to have been purchased or carried with borrowed funds even though
those funds are not directly linked to the shares.

Entities or persons who are "substantial users" (or persons related to
"substantial users") of facilities financed by private activity obligations
("PABs") should consult their tax advisors before purchasing shares of a
Tax-Free Portfolio because, for users of certain of these facilities, the
interest on those bonds is not exempt from federal income tax. For these
purposes, "substantial user" is defined to include a "non-exempt person" who
regularly uses in a trade or business a part of a facility financed from the
proceeds of PABs. Interest on certain PABs (which the Tax-Free Portfolios expect
to purchase) is treated as a Tax Preference Item, although it remains fully
tax-exempt for regular Federal income tax purposes; a portion (not expected to
exceed 20%) of each Tax-Free Portfolio's exempt-interest dividends thus may
constitute a Tax Preference Item. Interest on all tax-exempt obligations is
included in "adjusted current earnings" of corporations for purposes of the AMT.

If shares of a Tax-Free Portfolio are sold at a loss after being held for six
months or less, the loss will be disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest
dividends received on those shares, and any loss not disallowed will be treated
as long-term, instead of short-term, capital loss to the extent of any capital
gain distributions received thereon.

If a Tax-Free Portfolio invests in instruments that generate taxable interest
income, under the circumstances described in the prospectuses and in the
discussion of municipal market discount bonds below, the portion of any dividend
of that Portfolio attributable to the interest earned thereon will be taxable to
its shareholders as ordinary income to the extent of its earnings and profits,
and only the remaining portion will qualify as an exempt-interest dividend. The
exempt-interest dividend portion is determined by the ratio of (1) the net
tax-exempt income a Portfolio realizes for the entire year to (2) the aggregate
amount of distributions for the year and thus is an annual average, rather than
a day-to-day determination. Moreover, if a Tax-Free Portfolio realizes capital
gain as a result of market transactions, any distributions of the gain will be
taxable to its shareholders.

A Tax-Free Portfolio may invest in municipal bonds that are purchased, generally
not on their original issue, with market discount (that is, at a price less than
the principal amount of the bond or, in the case of a bond that was issued with
original issue discount, a price less than the amount of the issue price plus
accrued original issue discount) ("municipal market discount bonds"). If a
bond's market discount is less that the product of (1) 0.25% of the redemption
price at maturity times (2) the number of complete years to maturity after the
Tax-Free Portfolio acquired the bond, then no market discount is considered to
exist. Gain on the disposition of a municipal market discount bond purchased by
a Tax-Free Portfolio after April 30, 1993 (other than a bond with a fixed
maturity date within one year from its issuance), generally is treated as
ordinary (taxable) income, rather than capital gain, to the extent of the bond's
accrued market discount at the time of disposition. Market discount on such a
bond generally is accrued ratably, on a daily basis, over the period between the
dates of acquisition and maturity. In lieu of treating the disposition gain as
above, a Tax-Free Portfolio may elect to include market discount in its gross
income currently, for each taxable year to which it is attributable.

Up to 85% of social security and railroad retirement benefits may be included in
taxable income for recipients whose adjusted gross income (including income from
tax-exempt sources such as a Tax-Free Portfolio) plus 50% of their benefits
exceeds certain base amounts. Exempt-interest dividends from Tax-Free Portfolio
still would be tax-exempt to the extent described above; they would only be
included in the calculation of whether a recipient's income exceeded the
established amounts. Receipt of tax-exempt income may result in collateral tax
consequences to certain other taxpayers, including financial institutions,
property and casualty insurance companies, certain foreign corporations doing
business in the United States, certain S corporations with excess passive income
and individuals otherwise eligible for the earned income credit. Prospective
purchasers of Portfolio shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the
applicability of any such collateral consequences.

Shares of a Tax-Free Portfolio would not be suitable for tax-exempt institutions
and for tax-exempt retirement plans qualified under section 401 of the Code,
H.R. 10 plans and individual retirement accounts since such plans and accounts
are generally tax-exempt and, therefore, would not gain any additional benefit
from the Funds' dividends being tax-exempt.

NEW YORK TAXES
Under existing New York laws, shareholders of the NY Municipal Income Fund and
NY Tax-Free Money Market Fund will not be subject to New York State or New York
City personal income taxes on dividends to the extent that such dividends
qualify as "exempt interest dividends" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
and represent interest income attributable to obligations of the State of New
York and its political subdivisions, as well as certain other obligations, the
interest on which is exempt from New York State and New York City personal
income taxes, such as, for example, certain obligations of the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico. To the extent that distributions are derived from other income,
such distributions will be subject to New York State or New York City personal
income tax.

The NY Municipal Income Fund and NY Tax-Free Money Market Fund cannot predict in
advance the exact portion of their dividends that will be exempt from New York
State and New York City personal income taxes. However, the Funds will report to
shareholders at least annually what percentage of the dividends they actually
paid is exempt from such taxes.

Dividends paid by the NY Municipal Income Fund and NY Tax-Free Money Market Fund
are exempt from the New York City unincorporated business tax to the same extent
that they are exempt from the New York City personal income tax.

Dividends paid by the Fund are not excluded from net income in determining New
York State or New York City franchise taxes on corporations or financial
institutions.

Income from the NY Municipal Income Fund and NY Tax-Free Money Market Fund is
not necessarily free from taxes in states other than New York. Shareholders are
urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the status of their accounts
under state and local tax laws.

Dividends paid by the NY Municipal Income Fund and NY Tax-Free Money Market Fund
that are attributable to the net interest earned on some temporary and any
realized net short-term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income.

PENNSYLVANIA TAXES
The Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund
intend to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in debt obligations
the interest on which is exempt for federal income tax purposes. In order for
the Funds to pay tax-exempt dividends for any taxable year, at least 50% of the
aggregate value of the Funds' assets at the close of each quarter of the Funds'
taxable year must consist of exempt-interest obligations.

MARYLAND TAXES
To the extent that dividends paid by the Funds qualify as exempt-interest
dividends of a regulated investment company, the portion of the exempt-interest
dividends that represents interest received by the Funds (a) on obligations of
Maryland or its political subdivisions and authorities, (b) on obligations of
the United States, or (c) obligations of certain authorities, commissions,
instrumentalities, possessions or territories of the United States, will be
exempt from Maryland state and local income taxes when allocated or distributed
to a shareholder of the Funds. In addition, gains realized by the Funds from the
sale or exchange of a bond issued by Maryland or a political subdivision of
Maryland, will not be subject to Maryland state and local income taxes.

To the extent that distributions of the Funds are attributable to sources other
than those described in the preceding paragraph, such as, for example, interest
received by the Funds on obligations issued by states other than Maryland or
capital gains realized on obligations issued by U.S. territories and possessions
and from states other than Maryland, and income earned on repurchase agreements,
such distributions will be subject to Maryland state and local income taxes.
Income earned on certain private activity bonds (other than obligations of the
State of Maryland or a political subdivision or authority thereof) which the
Funds might hold will constitute a Maryland tax preference for individual
shareholders. In addition, capital gains realized by a shareholder upon a
redemption or exchange of portfolio shares will be subject to Maryland state and
local income taxes.

INVESTMENT ADVISOR
The Advisor conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the
Funds.

The Advisor shall not be liable to the Trust or any Fund shareholder for any
losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale of any security
or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts or omissions involving
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the
duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Trust.

As required by the 1940 Act, the Funds' Board has reviewed the Funds' investment
advisory contract and subadvisory contracts. The Board's decision to approve
these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to
continue the existing arrangements. During its review of these contracts, the
Board considers many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds'
investment objectives and long term performance; the Advisor's and subadvisors'
management philosophy, personnel, and processes; the preferences and
expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the
continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; comparable fees in
the mutual fund industry; and the range and quality of services provided to the
Funds and its shareholders by the M&T organization in addition to investment
advisory services.

In assessing the Advisor's and subadvisors' performance of their respective
obligations, the Board also considers whether there has occurred a circumstance
or event that would constitute a reason for it to not renew an advisory
contract. In this regard, the Board is mindful of the potential disruptions of
the Funds' operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that
could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory
contract. In particular, the Board recognizes that most shareholders have
invested in the Funds on the strength of the Advisor's industry standing and
reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role
in providing advisory services to the Funds.

The Board also considers the compensation and benefits received by the advisor
and subadvisors. This includes fees received for services provided to the Funds
by other entities in the M&T organization and research services received by
the Advisor and subadvisors from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as
advisory fees. In this regard, the Board is aware that various courts have
interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions
that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's compensation: the
nature and quality of the services provided by the adviser, including the
performance of the fund; the adviser's cost of providing the services; the
extent to which the adviser may realize "economies of scale" as the fund grows
larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the advisor and its affiliates
as a result of the advisor's relationship with the fund; performance and
expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board
members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the advisor's service and
fee. The Funds' Board is aware of these factors and takes them into account in
its review of the Funds' advisory contract.

The Board considers and weighs these circumstances in light of its substantial
accumulated experience in governing the Funds and working with the Advisor and
subadvisor on matters relating to its funds, and is assisted in its
deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. In this regard, the
Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds
and the Advisor and subadvisor. M&T provides much of this information at
each regular meeting of the Board, and furnishes additional reports in
connection with the particular meeting at which the Board's formal review of the
advisory contracts occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board
may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the
Board's evaluation of an advisory contract is informed by reports covering such
matters as: the advisor's investment philosophy, personnel, and processes; the
fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms as well as in
relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or
"peer group" funds), and comments on the reasons for performance; the fund's
expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of
the fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds,
with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and
allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the fund's portfolio
securities; the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to
the Fund by the Advisor and subadvisors and their respective affiliates;
compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service
them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the funds
and/or the Advisor and subadvisors are responding to them.

The Board also receives financial information about the Advisor and subadvisors,
including reports on the compensation and benefits the Advisor or subadvisors,
as the case may be, derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports
cover not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by
the Advisor's or subadvisor's subsidiaries for providing other services to the
Funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Funds' administrator
and transfer agent). The reports also discuss any indirect benefit the Advisor
or subadvisor may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who
execute fund trades.

The Board bases its decision to approve an advisory contract on the totality of
the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future
long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified
above are relevant to every fund, nor does the Board consider any one of them to
be determinative. Because the totality of circumstances includes considering the
relationship of each fund to the MTB family of funds, the Board does not
approach consideration of every fund's advisory contract as if that were the
only fund offered by the Advisor.

<R>

NWQ Investment Management Company LLC (NWQ), the sub-advisor for Large Cap Value
Fund, is a 97%-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (Nuveen) which,
prior to the transactions described below, was, in turn, a 78%-owned subsidiary
of The St. Paul Travelers Companies (St. Paul Travelers). Through a series of
transactions (Transaction), the last of which occurred on July 28, 2005, St.
Paul Travelers divested itself of its entire equity interest in Nuveen, causing
Nuveen to become an independent publicly-held company. Accordingly, effective
July 28, 2005, Nuveen succeeded St. Paul Travelers as the controlling
shareholder of NWQ.

The 1940 Act provides that a "change of control" of a fund's advisor or
subadvisor results in an "assignment," and a consequent automatic termination,
of the investment management agreement between the fund and the advisor.
Accordingly, as a result of the consummation, effective July 28, 2005, of the
final stage of the Transaction, the Prior Agreement dated December 7, 2004 among
the Fund, MTB Investment Advisors, Inc., as the Funds' investment advisor
(MTBIA) and NWQ, terminated on that date. In anticipation of pending termination
of the Prior Agreement, the Board, at its June 29-30, 2005 regular meeting,
approved new subadvisory agreements (New Agreements) with NWQ, having terms
substantially identical to the terms of the Prior Agreement except for the dates
of execution and termination, to take effect on the date of the termination of
the Prior Agreement (i.e., July 28, 2005).

In approving the New Agreement, the Board met at a regular meeting on June
29-30, 2005 and carefully evaluated: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the
services expected to be rendered to the Fund by NWQ; (2) the distinct investment
objective and policies of the Fund; (3) the history, organizational structure,
financial condition and reputation of NWQ, and the qualification and background
of NWQ's personnel; (4) the practices and policies of NWQ with respect to
selecting brokers and executing trades; (5) certification by NWQ of the
existence and adequacy of an advisor compliance program under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940; (6) any regulatory, compliance or litigation matters; (7)
business continuity and document management programs; (8) the investment
performance records of NWQ; (9) the reasonableness of the fees to be paid to and
the profits to be realized by NWQ (including any benefits to be received by NWQ
or its affiliates in connection with soft dollar arrangements); (10) whether the
fees to be paid to NWQ were competitive with the fees they charge other clients
that are similarly managed; (11) how competitive forces in the market impacted
the ability to secure the services of NWQ and negotiate fees; (12) the extent to
which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows, and whether fee
levels reflect these economies of scale; (13) the reasonableness of the fees
that would be retained by MTBIA, before and after any voluntary waivers, and
that there would be no changes to the advisory fees charged to the Funds; and
(14) other factors deemed relevant. The Board relied upon MTBIA's report to the
Board that the nature of the services to be provided by, and the fees to be paid
to, NWQ are no less favorable to the Fund than are available from other
prospective sub-advisors, noting in that regard that all fees to NWQ will be
paid by MTBIA, and not by the Fund.

The Board's decision to approve the New Agreement reflects the exercise of its
business judgment on whether the proposed sub-advisory arrangement would be in
the best interest of the Fund. During the course of its review of these
agreements, the Board considered and relied upon many factors, among the most
material of which are those set forth above.

In particular, the Board relied upon the fact that MTBIA remains the party
primarily responsible for the performance of the Fund, through its selection and
retention (subject to approval of the Board) and continued supervision of NWQ,
and that MTBIA initially recommended to the Board the engagement of NWQ after
extensive research of numerous candidate firms. The Board also relied upon the
fact that MTBIA initially negotiated fee arrangements with NWQ on an arms-length
basis.

Finally, the Board based its decision on the following additional
considerations: (1) the fact that the terms of the New Agreement are
substantially identical to the Prior Agreement, except for the dates of
execution and termination; (2) the receipt of the representation by NWQ and
Nuveen that they are not aware of any arrangement whereby NWQ or any "interested
person" of NWQ would impose an unfair burden on the Funds within the meaning of
Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act; and (3) the receipt of a written representation
by NWQ that there is no material change to the information previously provided
to the Board in connection with the Board's initial approval of NWQ as
subadvisor to the Funds at its December 2004 regular meeting, and that the
consummation of the Transaction will not result in any change in NWQ's
relationship with the Funds, including any change in the personnel or management
of NWQ.

SUB-ADVISORS

Mid Cap Stock Fund
Prior to December 8, 2004, the Advisor delegated daily management of the Mid Cap
Stock Fund to the sub-advisor, Independence Investment LLC (Independence).

For its services under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, Independence received an
allocable portion of the advisory fee the Advisor received from the Mid Cap
Stock Fund. The allocation was based on the amount of average daily net assets
that Independence managed for the Fund. This fee was paid by the Advisor out of
the fees it received from the Fund and was not a direct Fund expense.
Independence was paid by the Advisor as follows:



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Sub-Advisory Fee              Average Daily Net Assets of the Fund
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  0.40%                       on assets up to $500 million
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<R>
Effective December 8, 2004, the Advisor delegated daily management of the value
component of the Mid Cap Stock Fund to a sub-advisor, LSV Asset Management
(LSV). LSV also sub-advises the value component of Small Cap Stock Fund. For its
services under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, LSV is entitled to receive an
allocable portion of the advisory fee that the Advisor receives from the Mid Cap
Stock Fund. The allocation is based on the amount of the average daily net
assets that LSV manages for the Fund. This fee is paid by the Advisor out of the
fees it receives from the Fund and is not a direct Fund expense. LSV is entitled
to be paid a fee on the value portion of the average daily net assets (ADNA) of
the Mid Cap Stock Fund it manages at the following annual rate: 0.50% on the
first $100 million of ADNA, 0.40% on the next $100 million of ADNA and 0.35% on
ADNA over $200 million. From time to time, LSV may voluntarily waive all or a
portion of its subadvisory fee in its sole discretion. In that regard, LSV has
voluntarily implemented a waiver of a portion of the subadvisory compensation it
receives from MTBIA for managing the value component of the assets of the Small
Cap Stock Fund and Mid Cap Stock Fund. The fee waiver will be calculated based
on the total subadvisory fee LSV receives from MTBIA for managing these two
funds and will reduce proportionately the subadvisory fee for each Fund based on
assets under LSV management. This fee waiver will not change the rate of the
advisory fee the Funds pay to MTBIA, but will increase the amount of the total
advisory fee that MTBIA retains absent any further voluntary waiver by MTBIA.

qualifications of the individual. Mr. Pierce's performance is formally evaluated
annually and based on a variety of factors. The bonus is determined by three
components: the overall performance of M&T Bank, the overall performance of
MTBIA relative to the budget and Mr. Pierce's investment performance relative to
the benchmarks for all of the funds that he manages (including retail MTB Funds
not offered by the Variable Annuity Funds' Prospectus). The benchmarks for the
three Funds offered by the Variable Annuity Funds' Prospectus are 60% to S&P

weighted rates of return for the funds he manages compared to the relevant

results are a factor to the extent that they build an argument for additional
compensation based on a superior long-term track record.

Compensation Structure

Compensation is comprised of a base salary and an annual incentive bonus. The
base salary is based on the job description of the position and the overall
qualifications of the individual. Ms. Dyson's performance is formally evaluated
annually and based on a variety of factors. The bonus is determined by three
components: the overall performance of M&T Bank, the overall performance of
MTBIA relative to the budget and Ms. Dyson's investment performance relative to
the benchmarks for the fund that she manages. The benchmarks for the Funds are:
Tax Free Money Market Fund (iMoney Net Tax Free Average); New York Tax-Free
Money Market Fund (iMoney Net Tax Free State Specific Average); and Pennsylvania
Tax-Free Money Market Fund (iMoney Tax Free State Specific Average). The bonus
can be paid in cash and/or stock options in M&T Bank Corporation.

The performance portion of Ms. Dyson's incentive bonus is based on the time
weighted rates of return for the funds she manages compared to the relevant
indices with the heaviest emphasis on the current year results. Prior period
results are a factor to the extent that they build an argument for additional
compensation based on a superior long-term track record.

Conflicts of Interest (MTBIA Portfolio Managers)

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has
day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account.
More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented
with the following potential conflicts:

o     The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager
      devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account.
      MTBIA seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention
      of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular
      investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a
      particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment
      models.

o     If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which
      may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to
      take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled
      purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these
      situations, MTBIA has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio
      transactions across multiple accounts.

o     With respect to many of its clients' accounts, MTBIA determines
      which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent
      with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However,
      with respect to certain other accounts, MTBIA may be limited by
      the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be
      instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these
      cases, MTBIA may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions
      for a Fund and other accounts, which may temporarily affect the
      market price of the security or the execution of the transaction,
      or both, to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.

o     The Fund is subject to different regulation than the other pooled
      investment vehicles and other accounts managed by the portfolio
      manager. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory
      requirements, the Fund may not be permitted to engage in all the
      investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these
      transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed by
      the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of
      interest may arise where MTBIA has an incentive, such as a
      performance-based management fee, which MTBIA may charge in the
      future to some accounts, with respect to which a portfolio
      manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.

MTBIA has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address
these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures
will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

the conflicts of interest in managing the Managed Allocation Funds.

Compensation Structure

NWQ's portfolio managers participate in a highly competitive compensation
structure with the purpose of attracting and retaining the most talented
investment professionals and rewarding them through a total compensation program
as determined by the firm's executive committee. The total compensation program
consists of both a base salary and an annual bonus that can be a multiple of the
base salary. The portfolio manager's performance is formally evaluated annually
and based on a variety of factors. Bonus compensation is primarily a function of
the firm's overall annual profitability and the individual portfolio manager's
contribution as measured by the overall investment performance of client
portfolios, an objective review of stock recommendations and the quality of
primary research, and subjective review of the professional's contributions to
portfolio strategy, teamwork, collaboration and work ethic.

The total compensation package includes the availability of an equity-like
incentive for purchase (whose value is determined by the increase in
profitability of NWQ over time) made to most investment professionals. NWQ is a
majority-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., which has augmented this
incentive compensation annually through individual awards of a stock option
pool, as determined through a collaborative process between Nuveen Investments
and the NWQ executive committee.

majority-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., which has augmented this
incentive compensation annually through individual awards of a stock option
pool, as determined through a collaborative process between Nuveen Investments
and the NWQ executive committee.

As of December 31, 2004, NWQ had six institutional accounts that have investment
management fees calculated in part on the performance of the account versus a
benchmark ("performance based fees accounts"). The performance based fee
accounts are managed identically to other institutional accounts within the same
strategy and there are no additional investment risks taken in conjunction with
this type of investment management fee. The portfolio manager who manages these
performance based fee accounts does not receive any additional compensation from
these accounts based on any performance fees received from such accounts.

Conflicts of Interest

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has
day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account.
More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented

      which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent
      with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However,
      with respect to certain other accounts, NWQ may be limited by the
      client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be

      cases, NWQ may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for
      a Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market

      investment vehicles and other accounts managed by the portfolio
      manager. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory
      requirements, the Fund may not be permitted to engage in all the
      investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these
      transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed by
      the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of
      interest may arise where NWQ has an incentive, such as a
      performance-based management fee, which relates to the management
      of some accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has
      day-to-day management responsibilities.

NWQ has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address
these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures
will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Compensation Structure (Mazama)

Mazama's compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly skilled
investment professionals. The compensation is structured to maximize performance
and keep the interests of each member of the portfolio management team aligned
with those of the clients.

Each Portfolio Manager and Research Analyst ("Investment Team") receives a base
salary representing 20-30% of cash compensation and a performance based
incentive representing 70-80% of cash compensation. The performance based
incentive compensation is based on the portfolio management fees received by
Mazama for all accounts under management.

Equity incentives have been a significant part of Mazama's compensatioin plan
since the firm's inception. In total, including founding equity, the Investment
Team represents over 70% of the equity of the firm on a fully diluted basis.
Every member of the Investment Team is either a direct equity owner or an option
holder or both.

The Investment Team manages the portfolios in aggregate terms, focusing on the
overall strategy, which is then implemented at the portfolio level. In other
words, the Investment Team does not distinguish between different accounts
within each investment style/strategy with respect to compensation. Instead,
they are compensated based on overall fees received by the firm. This incentive
compensation structure keeps each member of the team focused on the relative
performance of the aggregate portfolio versus its benchmark. Cash compensation
increases as assets under management increase, whether by appreciation of by
attracting new clients, both of which are accomplished by achieving higher than
average excess returns. Excess returns are measured as the difference between
the portfolio returns and those of the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Conflicts of Interest (Mazama)

As every member of the Investment Team has day-to-day management
responsibilities with respect to more than one account and more than one
investment strategy, actual or apparent conflicts may arise.

The compensation paid to Mazama for managing the Fund is based on a percentage
of assets under management rather than a share of the gains. As described above,
members of the Investment Team, as equity owners and by receiving a share of
portfolio management fees, benefit from Mazama's revenues and profitability.
Conflicts of interest can arise to the extent that larger client accounts
generate more fees and potentially larger profits for Mazama compared to small
accounts. One or more accounts may also pay fees based on a percentage of assets
that can increase and decrease based on performance against a benchmark index.
Despite these differences Mazama believes that its trade allocation and other
compliance procedures effectively address any related conflicts of interest.
Otherwise, no member of the Investment Team is compensated in a way that would
add to those conflicts of interest by creating an incentive to favor particular
accounts over other accounts.

Execution and research services provided by brokers may not always be utilized
in connection with the Fund or with other client accounts that may have paid the
commission or a portion of the commission to the broker providing the services.
Mazama allocates brokerage commissions for these services in a manner that it
believes is fair and equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to
each of its clients.



If a member of the Investment Team identifies a limited investment opportunity
that may be suitable for more than just the Fund or another client account, the
Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity. To mitigate
this conflict of interest, Mazama aggregates orders for the Fund with orders
from each of its other client accounts participating in the same strategy in
order to ensure that clients are treated fairly and equitably over time and
consistent with its fiduciary obligations to each of its clients.

Mazama has adopted policies and procedures to address and prevent the above
conflicts of interest; however there is no guarantee that such procedures will
detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Compensation Structure (LSV)

The portfolio managers' compensation consists of a salary and a discretionary
bonus. The base salary is based on the job description and the overall
qualifications, experience and tenure at LSV, of the individual. Each of the
portfolio managers is a partner of LSV and thereby receives a portion of the
overall profit of the firm as part of his ownership interests.

The bonus is based upon the profitability of the firm and individual
performance. Individual performance is subjective and may be based on a number
of factors, such as the individual's leadership and contribution to the
strategic planning and development of the investment group.


Conflicts of Interest (LSV)

The portfolio managers' management of "other accounts" may give rise to
potential conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the
Fund's investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the other accounts,
on the other. The other accounts may have the same investment objective as the
Fund. Therefore, a potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the
identical investment objectives, whereby the portfolio managers could favor one
account over another. Another potential conflict could include the portfolio
managers' knowledge about the size, timing and possible market impact of Fund
trades, whereby a portfolio manager could use this information to the advantage
of other accounts and to the disadvantage of the Fund. In addition, it is also
possible that a potential conflict of interest may arise because the portfolio
managers manage an account with a performance-based management fee in addition
to the Fund and other accounts without a performance-based fee. However, LSV has
established policies and procedures to ensure that the purchase and sale of
securities among all accounts it manages are fairly and equitably allocated.

Investment decisions are made by LSV's quantitative process separately for each
portfolio based upon its current holdings, investment parameters and the
portfolio's expected return as calculated by LSV's quantitative system. Product
rebalancing takes place by product and is carried our serially for each
portfolio (including separately managed accounts, unregistered funds and
investment companies) invested in that product, generally beginning with the
portfolio with the lowest expected return. Therefore, those portfolios which
need the highest level of expected return improvement generally have first
access to the widest set of investment opportunities. However, because LSV does
not view an individual stock as important by itself, the concept of a limited
investment opportunity is not applicable to LSV's investment approach.

LSV may be in the position of buying or selling the same security for a number
of its clients at roughly the same time. Because of market fluctuations, the
prices obtained on such transactions within a single day may vary substantially.
In order to more equitably allocate the effects of such market fluctuations, for
certain transactions, LSV may use an "averaging" procedure. Under this
procedure, purchases or sales of a particular security for a client's account
will at times be combined with purchases or sales of the same security for other
clients on the same day. For aggregated trades that are partially filled, shares
will be allocated pro-rata among participating accounts that day, based upon
their pro-rata share of the order. All allocations are subject to change as a
result of either cash considerations or the use of round lots.

There are no material conflicts created by the Portfolio Manager's compensation
structure. LSV does not utilize soft dollars.

Compensation Structure (UBS)

The compensation received by portfolio managers at UBS Global AM, including Mr.
Madsen, includes a base salary and incentive compensation based on their
personal perfomance. UBS Global AM's compensation and benefits programs are
designed to provide its investment professionals with incentives to excel, and
to promote an entrepreneurial, performance-oriented culture. They also align the
interests of the investment professionals with the interests of UBS Global AM's
clients. Overall compensatioin can be grouped into four categories:

o     Competitive salary, benchmarked to maintain competitive compensation
      opportunities.

o     Annual bonus, tied to individual contributions and investment performance.

o     UBS equity awards, promoting company-wide success and employee retention.

o     Partnership Incentive Program (PIP), a phantom-equity-like program for key
      senior staff.



Base salary is used to recognize the experience, skills and knowledge that the
investment professionals bring to their roles. Salary levels are monitored and
adjusted periodically in order to remain competitive within the investment
management industry.

Annual bonuses are strictly and rigorously correlated with performance. As such,
annual incentives can be highly variable, and are based on three components: (1)
the firm's overall business success; (2) the performance of the respective asset
class and/or investment mandate; and (3) an individual's specific contribution
to the firm's results. UBS Global AM strongly believes that tying bonuses to
both long-term (3-year) and shorter-term (1-year) portfolio performance closely
aligns the investment professionals' interests with those of UBS Global AM's
clients.

UBS AG Equity. Senior investment professionals, such as Mr. Madsen, may receive
a portion of their annual performance-based incentive in the form of deferred or
restricted UBS AG shares or employee stock options. UBS Global AM believes that
this reinforces the critical importance of creating long-term business value and
also serves as an effective retention tool as the equity shares typically vest
over a number of years.

Broader equity share ownership is encouraged for all employees through "Equity
Plus." This long-term incentive program gives employees the opportunity to
purchase UBS stock with after-tax funds from their bonus or salary. Two UBS
stock options are given for each share acquired and held for two years. UBS
Global AM feels this engages its employees as partners in the firm's success,
and helps to maximize its integrated business strategy.

Partnership Incentive Program (PIP). Designed to promote an entrepreneurial
culture and drive long-term thinking, the PIP is a phantom equity-like program
for key senior staff (approximately top 2%). By tying compensation to overall
firm performance over the mid- to longer-term, the program offers significant
compensation opportunities for UBS Global AM's senior staff. Mr. Madsen is
eligible for this program.







Conflicts of Interest (UBS)

The management of the Fund and other accounts could result in potential
conflicts of interest if the Fund and other accounts have different objectives,
benchmarks and fees because the portfolio manager and his team must allocate
time and investment expertise across multiple accounts, including the Fund. The
portfolio manager and his team manage the Fund and other accounts utilizing a
model portfolio approach that groups similar accounts within a model portfolio.
The Advisor manages accounts according to the appropriate model portfolio,
including where possible, those accounts that have specific investment
restrictions. Accordingly, portfolio holdings, position sizes, and industry and
sector exposures tend to be similar across accounts, which may minimize the
potential for conflicts of interest.

If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be
suitable for more than one account or model portfolio, the Fund may not be able
to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled
purchase or sale orders across all eligible model portfolios and accounts. To
deal with these situations, the Advisor has adopted procedures for allocating
portfolio trades across multiple accounts to provide fair treatment to all
accounts.

The management of personal accounts by a portfolio manager may also give rise to
potential conflicts of interest. The Advisor and the Fund have adopted Codes of
Ethics that govern such personal trading but there is no assurance that the
Codes will adequately address all such conflicts.

Compensation Structure (DRZ)

As a boutique firm, DRZ has been able to create an entrepreneurial atmosphere
that allows for significant personal and professional growth for all employees.
The compensation structure consists of a base salary and a profit sharing
program, which is based on firm profitability and individual contribution.
Portfolio Managers' bonuses are tied to product performance and stock selection
versus the benchmark. Performance is based on outperformance of an appropriate
index. Subjective measurement is also included. Portfolio Managers are not
compensated for bringing in new business. DRZ's compensation structure aligns
their portfolio managers and analysts' interests with the interest of their
clients.

Portfolio Managerss' bonuses are tied in part to product outperformance of the
Russell 1000 Value and individual stock selection outperformance over a 12 month
period.



Conflicts of Interest (DRZ)

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has
day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account.
More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented
with the following potential conflicts:

o     The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio
      manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of
      each account. DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc. seeks to manage
      such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio
      managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular
      investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio
      manager in a particular investment strategy are managed using the
      same investment models.

o     If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment
      opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account, an
      account may not be able to take full advantage of that
      opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale
      orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these
      situations, DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc. has adopted
      procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple
      accounts.

o     With respect to many of its clients' accounts, DePrince, Race
      & Zollo, Inc. determines which broker to use to execute
      transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best
      execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain
      other accounts, DePrince Race & Zollo Inc.  may be limited by
      the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be
      instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these
      cases, DePrince Race & Zollo Inc. may place separate,
      non-simultaneous, transactions for a Fund and other accounts,
      which may temporarily affect the market price of the security or
      the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of
      the Fund or the other accounts.

o     The Fund is subject to different regulation than the other pooled
      investment vehicles and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager.
      As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, the Fund
      may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or
      transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as the
      other accounts managed by the portfolio manager.

DePrince Race & Zollo Inc. has adopted certain compliance procedures which
are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee
that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict
arises.

CODE OF ETHICS RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL TRADING
As required by SEC rules, the Funds, their Adviser and Distributor have adopted
codes of ethics. These codes govern securities trading activities of investment
personnel, Trustees, and certain other employees. Although they do permit these
people to trade in securities, including those that the Funds could buy, they
also contain significant safeguards designed to protect the Funds and their
shareholders from abuses in this area, such as requirements to obtain prior
approval for, and to report, particular transactions.

VOTING PROXIES ON FUND PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The Board has delegated to the Advisor authority to vote proxies on the
securities held in the Fund's portfolio. The Board has also approved the
Advisor's policies and procedures for voting the proxies, which are set forth in
their entirety below.




                          MTB INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC.
                               PROXY VOTING POLICY

                                  INTRODUCTION
      MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. acknowledges that among its duties as a
fiduciary to its clients is the obligation to protect the interests of its
clients by voting the shares held by its clients' accounts. In order to ensure
that shares are voted in all appropriate circumstances, Adviser will exercise
voting discretion as to all shares unless voting discretion is specifically
reserved for the client or assigned to a third party in the advisory contract.
To ensure that shares are voted in a consistent manner and in the best interest
of its clients, Adviser has adopted this Proxy Voting Policy.

                     GENERAL STANDARDS AND APPROACH
      Each year, the Adviser receives hundreds of proxy solicitations
with respect to voting securities held in client accounts. The matters to be
voted upon may be proposals of management or of stockholders, and cover a
diverse assortment of complex issues. Whether the interests of shareholders are
best served by a vote "for" or "against" a proposal often depends upon the
context, the effects that adoption could have on the company's business, and the
motivations of the parties making the proposal. These determinations require a
considerable investment of time, resources and expertise.
      Given the sheer volume of proxies, and the broad spectrum of issues to be
voted upon, the proxy voting process represents a considerable administrative
burden. In order to efficiently discharge its duty to vote proxies, Adviser has
engaged a third party, Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. ("ISS") to
perform the function of analyzing and providing recommendations on voting
proxies.
      ISS is the acknowledged industry leader in assisting institutional
shareholders with the types of proxy analysis described above. Adviser has
reviewed the policies and considerations applied by ISS in voting proxies and
found them to be fully consistent with the policies of Adviser, which are set
forth in detail herein. Accordingly, Adviser will generally follow the ISS
recommendations in voting proxies.
      In general, Adviser believes that it is in the best interests of its
clients to vote its clients' shares so as to promote the alignment of the
interests of corporate management with the interests of its shareholders, to
improve the accountability of corporate management to its shareholders, to
reward good performance by management, and to approve proposals that Adviser
believes will result in financial rewards for its clients.
      Adviser reserves the right to override any voting policy stated below when
it believes that a vote contrary to a policy would be in the best interest of
Adviser's clients. Any vote contrary to a stated policy must be approved by the
Trade Management Oversight Committee of the Adviser's Board of Directors, or
that Committee's designee. A written summary of the considerations in making the
voting decision should be prepared and retained with the records of the proxy.
      Adviser believes that addressing its proxy voting obligations as described
in this Proxy Voting Policy will promote the best interests of shareholders, and
therefore, will be in the best interests of Adviser's clients.



                              CONFLICTS OF INTEREST


      Adviser may have a conflict of interest in voting a particular proxy. A
conflict of interest could arise, for example, as a result of a business
relationship with a company, or a direct or indirect business interest in the
matter being voted upon, or as a result of a personal relationship with
corporate directors or candidates for directorships. Whether a relationship
creates a material conflict of interest will depend upon the facts and
circumstances.
      The Trade Management Oversight Committee has reviewed a copy of the ISS
policies, procedures and practices regarding potential conflicts of interest
that could arise in ISS proxy voting services to Adviser as result of business
conducted by ISS. The Trade Management Oversight Committee believes that the
policies, procedures and practices followed by ISS minimize the potential
conflicts of interest by ISS in making voting recommendations to Adviser.
      Whenever a portfolio manager determines that it is in a client's best
interest to vote on a particular proposal in a manner other than in accordance
with the guidelines set forth in this Proxy Voting Policy, or the policy does
not address how to vote on the proposal, the portfolio manager shall present the
matter to the Trade Management Oversight Committee, which shall be responsible
for evaluating information relating to conflicts of interest in connection with
the voting of the client proxy.
      For purposes of identifying conflicts under this policy, the Trade
Management Oversight Committee will rely on publicly available information about
a company and its affiliates, information about the company and its affiliates
that is generally known by employees of Adviser, and other information actually
known by a member of the Trade Management Oversight Committee.
      In the event that the Trade Management Oversight Committee determines that
Adviser has a material conflict of interest with respect to a proxy proposal,
then Adviser shall either:
            1. Vote on the proposal in accordance with the recommendation of the
      Trade Management Oversight Committee or that committee's designee;
            OR
            2. Prior to voting on the proposal, either: (i) Contact an
            independent third party (such as another
      plan fiduciary) to recommend how to vote on the proposal and will vote in
      accordance with the recommendation of such third party (or have the third
      party vote such proxy); or
            (ii) Fully disclose the nature of the conflict to the client(s), and
      obtain the client's consent as to how Adviser will vote on the proposal
      (or otherwise obtain instructions from the client as to how the proxy on
      the proposal should be voted). Adviser may not address a material conflict
      of interest by
abstaining from voting, unless the Trade Management Oversight Committee (or that
committee's designee) has determined that not voting the proxy is in the best
interest of a client. However, as indicated above, there may be other
circumstances where Adviser determines that refraining from voting a proxy is in
the client's best interest and the existence of a material conflict of interest
shall not affect such a determination.
      The Trade Management Oversight Committee shall document the manner in
which proxies involving a material conflict of interest have been voted by
Adviser as well as the basis for any determination that Adviser does not have a
material conflict of interest in respect of a particular matter.
ROUTINE MATTERS
VOTING FOR DIRECTOR NOMINEES IN UNCONTESTED ELECTIONS. Adviser will vote for the
candidates nominated by management in uncontested elections unless there is a
basis or reason for opposing such candidates, in which event Adviser shall
withhold its vote for such candidates.
To the extent practicable, Adviser will consider the following factors when
assessing reasons for opposing candidates in uncontested elections and making
case-by-case voting determinations in contested elections:
    o Long-Term Corporate Performance Record. When Adviser believes that there
      has been consistent underperformance by a company, Adviser will consider
      the potential for effecting change when evaluating incumbent candidates
      and first-time candidates. As part of this consideration, Adviser will
      examine the company's financial performance measures, market-based
      performance measures, S&P Common Stock rankings, and any other
      applicable performance measures.
    o Composition of the Board and Key Board Committees. Adviser will consider a
      director to be independent if he or she has no connection to the company
      other than a board seat. Even if the board member has served on the board
      for over ten years, he/she will still be considered to be an independent
      director. Key board committees such as audit, compensation, and nominating
      committees should be composed entirely of independent directors. Votes for
      insider directors will normally be withheld if they serve on any of these
      committees. In addition, votes for inside directors should be withheld in
      instances where the full board serves as the audit, compensation, or
      nominating committee or in instances where the company does not have one
      of these committees.
    o Attendance at Meetings. An incumbent candidate should have attended at
      least 75 percent of the board and committee meetings. Mitigating
      circumstances for absenteeism may include the convening of relatively few
      meetings and other reasonable justifications that are not likely to
      reoccur.
    o Director's Investment in the Company. Ownership of a significant block of
      stock is a positive factor because it tends to align the director's
      interests with those of the shareholders. The lack of any stock holding or
      a small holding may be a negative factor in the absence of an explanation.
      Stock ownership should not be a factor in the case of candidates, such as
      academics or religious leaders, who may be qualified to serve but lack the
      wealth to buy stock.
    o Retired Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). Nominations of retired CEOs to
      boards of the companies they headed are generally not favored but may be
      supported in exceptional circumstances. For example, the nomination of a
      retired CEO with an outstanding record of performance by a nominating
      committee composed of independent directors would be viewed more favorably
      than the nomination of a former CEO with a lackluster performance record
      by directors who owe their positions to him.
    o Number of Other Board Seats. A candidate generally should not serve on
      more than four boards at once (except boards of registered investment
      companies that are a family of funds), especially if he or she holds a
      regular, full-time position apart from being a director.
    o Other Factors. Any other factor bearing on the qualifications of
      candidates to serve as directors, including but not limited to
      conviction of a crime, payment of greenmail, appearance of
      entrenchment, interlocking directorships, etc., may be
      considered. RATIFYING AUDITORS.
Adviser will vote for resolutions to ratify auditors, unless there is reason to
believe the independent auditor has rendered an opinion that is neither accurate
nor indicative of the company's financial position.

CHANGES IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS MAJORITY OF INDEPENDENT
DIRECTORS. Adviser will generally vote for shareholder resolutions seeking
boards composed of a majority of independent directors. Adviser will vote for
shareholder resolutions seeking board audit
committees, compensation committees, and nomination committees composed
exclusively of independent directors. Exceptions to the rule may be made where
the board is already sufficiently independent and is fulfilling its fiduciary
duty making support of such proposals unnecessary.
STAGGERED VERSUS ANNUAL ELECTIONS.
Adviser will vote for proposals to repeal classified boards and elect all
directors annually. Adviser will vote against proposals to classify boards. A
classified Board is one in which all directors are not elected in the same year;
rather the directors' terms of office are staggered. This eliminates the
possibility of removing entrenched management at any one annual election of
directors.
CUMULATIVE VOTING.
Adviser will vote for proposals to permit cumulative voting in cases where there
are insufficient good governance provisions and against in cases where there are
sufficient good governance provisions. Adviser will vote against proposals to
eliminate cumulative voting. Most corporations provide that shareholders are
entitled to cast one vote for each director for each share owned, which is the
so-called "one share, one vote" standard. A minority of companies allow
cumulative voting, which permits shareholders to distribute the total number of
votes they have in any manner they see fit when electing directors. For example,
if a shareholder owns 50,000 shares and three director seats are open for
election, the shareholder may cast 150,000 votes for one candidate (or otherwise
distribute his 150,000 votes as he desires).
While cumulative voting can be an important tool to promote management
accountability, the need for such a policy should be evaluated in concert with
the company's other governance provisions. If there are other safeguards to
ensure that shareholders have reasonable access and input into the process of
nominating and electing directors, cumulative voting in not essential. However,
it would be necessary for a company's governing documents to contain the
following provisions for Adviser to vote against providing for cumulative
voting: (a) Annually elected board; (b) Majority of board composed of
independent directors; (c) Nominating committee composed solely of independent
directors; (d) Confidential voting (however, there may be a provision for
suspending confidential voting during proxy contests); (e) Ability of
shareholders to call special meetings or to act by written consent with 90 days'
notice; (f) Absence of superior voting rights for one or more classes of stock.
For example, an unacceptable structure could consist of two classes of stock
where Class A stock was entitled to one vote per share and Class B stock was
entitled to 10 votes per share; (g) Board does not have the sole right to change
the size of the board beyond a stated range that has been approved by
shareholders; (h) Absence of shareholder rights plan that can only be removed by
the incumbent directors (dead hand poison pill); (i) (Optional) Published
statement of board governance guidelines, including a description of the process
for shareholders to submit director nominees that ensures valid nominees are
considered. In addition to these desired governance provisions, the company's
performance must be comparable to that of its peers or the board must have
demonstrated its focus on increasing shareholder value by taking action to
improve performance. For example, the board may have recently replaced
management or changed strategic direction. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.
Adviser will vote on a case-by-case basis regarding shareholder proposals
seeking preemptive rights. Preemptive rights guarantee existing shareholders the
first opportunity to purchase shares of new stock issues in the same class they
already own and in an amount equal to the percentage of stock they own. While
shareholders may not choose to exercise their right, it at least affords them
some protection from involuntary dilution of their ownership interest, as well
as an opportunity to save a brokerage commission. The absence of these rights
could cause stockholders' interest in a company to be reduced by the sale of
additional shares without their knowledge and at prices that are unfavorable to
them. Generally, we do not believe the cost of implementing preemptive rights is
justified by the value added to shareholders. In evaluating proposals on
preemptive rights, Adviser will look at the size of the company and the
characteristics of its shareholder base. STOCK OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS.
Adviser will vote against shareholder resolutions requiring directors to own a
minimum amount of company stock to qualify as a director or remain on the board.
TERM OF OFFICE.
Adviser will vote against shareholder proposals to limit the tenure of outside
directors.
AGE LIMITS
Adviser will vote against shareholder proposals to impose mandatory retirement
age for outside directors. DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY
PROTECTION. Adviser will vote for proposals for indemnification and liability
protection that satisfy the following conditions: (1) the director must have
acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed was in the best
interests of the company, (2) such protection does not extend beyond legal
expenses to acts involving gross negligence or other violations of the duty of
care that exceed reasonable standards, (3) such protection does not extend to
acts involving a breach of the duty of loyalty or self dealing, (4) such
protection does not limit or eliminate entirely directors' and officers'
liability for monetary damages for violating the duty of care; and (5) such
protection does not extend to acts involving criminal activity. Adviser will
vote against proposals that are overly broad.
SEPARATING CHAIRMAN AND CEO.
Adviser will vote shareholder proposals requiring that the positions of chairman
and CEO be held separately on a case-by-case basis. In cases in which corporate
performance is average or better relative to a peer group and market index,
Adviser will vote against shareholder proposals to separate the positions. In
cases in which performance is below average, Adviser will generally vote for
resolutions to separate the positions, especially if the same person has held
both positions over a sustained period of underperformance.
SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO REMOVE DIRECTORS.
Adviser will vote against proposals that provide that directors may be removed
only for cause. Adviser will vote for proposals to restore shareholder ability
to remove directors with or without cause.
Adviser will vote against proposals that provide that only continuing directors
may elect replacements to fill board vacancies. Adviser will vote for proposals
that permit shareholders to elect directors to fill board vacancies.
Shareholders' ability to remove directors, with or without cause, is either
prescribed by a state's business corporation law, an individual company's
articles of incorporation, or its bylaws. Many companies have solicited
shareholder approval prohibiting the removal of directors except for cause
(guilty of self-dealing, fraud, or misappropriation of company assets). This
type of prohibition insulates the directors from removal by shareholders even if
the director has been performing poorly, not attending meetings, or not acting
in the best interest of shareholders. In addition, proposals will often be
bundled to contain provisions which specify that if a board vacancy exists, only
the continuing directors may appoint new directors to fill the vacancies,
further insulating the board by allowing directors to fill a vacancy of a board
member removed by shareholders.
SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO CALL SPECIAL MEETINGS.
Adviser will vote against proposals to restrict or prohibit shareholder ability
to call special meetings. Adviser will vote for proposals that remove
restrictions on the right of shareholders to call special meetings independently
of management. According to the Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (ISS)
database, most state corporation statutes allow shareholders to call a special
meeting when they want to take action on certain matters that arise between
regularly scheduled annual meetings. The laws in some states vest corporations
with the discretion to limit or deny altogether the right of shareholders to
call a special meeting. States that provide this right may require that the
shareholder proponent, or group of shareholders, own a specified percentage of
the outstanding shares (10 percent is a common requirement) to bring the
proposal for a special meeting to a shareholder vote. The percentage of
shareholder votes required to force the corporation to call a special meeting
varies from state to state. ISS reports that 129 of the S&P 500 companies
either do not provide for the right of shareholders to call special meetings or
place voting restrictions on the right. The remaining 371 companies allow the
right to call special meetings. Special meetings give shareholders the ability
to take such actions as removing directors, initiating a shareholder resolution,
or responding to a beneficial offer if the bidder cannot call a special meeting,
without having to wait for the next scheduled meeting. The inability to call a
special meeting could be detrimental to the interests of shareholders.
The most common management proposals regarding special meetings seek higher vote
requirements to call special meetings or elimination of the right to special
meetings. These management proposals also may contain supermajority voting
requirements for the amendment of special meeting restrictions, which
effectively lock the restrictions in place. Shareholder resolutions regarding
special meetings typically call for the restoration or expansion of the right to
call special meetings.


SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO ALTER THE SIZE OF THE BOARD. Adviser will vote for
proposals that seek to fix the size of the board. Adviser will vote against
proposals that give management the ability to alter the size of the board
without shareholder approval. SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT.
Adviser will vote against proposals to restrict or prohibit shareholders from
taking action by written consent. Adviser will vote for proposals to allow or
make easier shareholder action by written consent.
A consent solicitation is similar to a proxy solicitation: consents are mailed
to shareholders for their vote and signature, and they are then delivered to
management. The only procedural difference is that the consent process ends with
delivery of the consents. If enough consents are returned, the subject of the
consent is deemed ratified. By contrast, a proxy solicitation must end with a
meeting because proxy cards merely authorize the indicated "proxy" to cast a
vote at a shareholder meeting. A signed consent is itself a final vote and, as
such, does not require a vote by proxy at a shareholder meeting. Consent
solicitations can be advantageous to both shareholders and management because
the process is less expensive than holding a physical meeting, and shareholders
can simply respond to the proposal by mail. Institutional Shareholder Services,
Inc. (ISS) reports that 350 of the S&P 500 companies allow shareholder
action by written consent. The remaining 150 companies either do not allow
action by written consent or place restrictions on such action. Many states
require a unanimous shareholder vote for the subject of a consent solicitation
to become effective, according to ISS. In other states, consent subjects are
ratified if the consent vote matches the ratification vote required at a
shareholder meeting. Detractors of the ability to act by written consent argue
that since shareholders are not required to provide advance notice to the SEC of
their intention to take action by written consent, a consent solicitation aimed
at replacing a board or other takeover measure can be inherently coercive
because it does not allow shareholders enough time to evaluate their actions
properly. Shareholder rights advocates counter that institutional investors
possess the expertise and resources to evaluate a consent solicitation in the
allotted time.
PROXY CONTESTS
VOTING FOR DIRECTOR NOMINEES IN CONTESTED ELECTIONS. Contested elections
involving the nomination of an entire board of directors in opposition to the
current board (hostile takeover) or the nomination of a minority of directors in
opposition to the management slate (proxy contest) shall be voted on a
case-by-case basis with the vote determined by the Adviser's Trade Management
Oversight Committee or that Committee's designee.
Among the relevant considerations for a determination of the vote are the
overall long-term financial performance of the target company, management's
track record, background of the proxy contest, qualifications of director
nominees, evaluation of the positions of both sides and likelihood of
accomplishing proposed objectives, and stock ownership holdings.
REIMBURSING PROXY SOLICITATION EXPENSES.
Adviser will vote shareholder proposals that provide for full reimbursement for
dissidents waging a proxy contest on a case-by-case basis.
Generally, the reimbursement system is currently biased as reimbursement for
incumbents is rarely denied with reimbursement of dissidents only being paid if
they gain control of the company. Factors to be considered in determining how to
vote include the identity of persons who will pay solicitation expenses,
estimated total cost of solicitation, total expenditures to date, fees to be
paid to proxy solicitation firms, and the terms of a proxy contest settlement,
if applicable. If the request for reimbursement is after the proxy contest,
consider the percentage of the votes captured by the dissidents and management,
the issues involved, and the expected benefits resulting from the proxy contest
as well as the total amount requested in efforts to estimate a reasonable cost
for lawyer fees, professional solicitors, investment bankers, travel costs,
mailing and printing.


COMPENSATION
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS.
Adviser will vote on stock option plans, incentive plans, and other executive
compensation plans on case-by-case determinations of reasonableness.
Adviser will evaluate executive compensation plans by measuring shareholder
value transfer (SVT) using a Binomial Model developed by Institutional
Shareholder Services (ISS), which is a variation of the widely known
Black-Scholes mathematical option pricing formula and allows for the possibility
of early option exercise and other characteristics unique to nonpublicly traded
options, and voting power dilution (VPD). Voting power dilution is the relative
reduction in voting power as stock-based incentives are exercised and existing
shareholders' proportional ownership in a company is diluted. SVT and VPD, as
calculated by ISS, are compared to an industry-specific, market cap-based
benchmark (allowable cap) calculated by ISS. If SVT and VPD are less than the
allowable cap, Adviser will generally vote in favor of the plan; if SVT and VPD
are greater than the allowable cap, Adviser will generally vote against the
plan. Although no single factor below may be dispositive of a voting
determination, other factors to be considered are as follows:
    o Option Exercise Price. Adviser does not favor option exercise prices for
      executives that are less than 100 percent of fair market value at the
      grant date.
    o Replacing or Repricing Awards or Grants. Adviser does not favor stock
      option plans with provisions that allow the repricing of options already
      granted at a lower exercise price or that allow participants to swap
      options already granted for lower priced options. (This policy relates to
      so-called "underwater" options, for which the stock price has dropped
      below the exercise price.) An exception may be considered if the decline
      in stock price results from a market phenomenon rather than
      company-specific poor performance.
    o Omnibus or Blank Check Stock Plans. Adviser does not favor "omnibus" or
      "blank check" stock plans that give directors broad discretion to decide
      how much and what kind of stock to award, when to make awards, and to whom
      the awards should be made. (Omnibus plans authorize five or more different
      types of awards.)
    o Pyramiding. Adviser generally does not favor "pyramiding," a cashless form
      of stock option exercise that permits the payment for stock options with
      previously owned, appreciated shares in successive, short-term
      transactions, thus pyramiding a small stock holding into a larger holding.
    o Stock Appreciation Rights. Adviser does not favor stock appreciation
      rights, which allow the recipient to collect, in cash, the difference
      between the exercise price and the market price of an option without
      having to make a personal cash outlay to exercise the option.
    o Reload Options (also termed Restoration Options, Incremental Stock
      Ownership, or Accelerated-Ownership Options). Adviser does not favor
      reload stock options, which is a compensation scheme that grants a new
      option for each exercise of a plan participant's stock options. Reloads
      come into play only when an option holder pays to exercise with stock; the
      new option is granted for shares turned in, at the current market price.
      The risk that a plan participant will not have captured the highest stock
      price is eliminated because every time an option is exercised, another
      option replaces the exercised option. This enables the participant to
      continue to realize all the upside potential inherent in the original
      stock option grant.
    o Restricted Stock. Adviser does not favor grants of stock that are subject
      to restrictions but cost the recipient little or nothing and are not
      aligned with performance goals. Such shares are usually subject to
      forfeiture if the recipient leaves the company before a specified period
      of time. The restrictions usually lapse over three to five years, during
      which time the recipient cannot sell his shares but is typically entitled
      to vote the stock and receive dividends.
    o Change of Control Features. Adviser does not favor stock option
      --------------------------
      plans that incorporate provisions for acceleration or cash-out
      upon a change in control of the company (e.g., mergers and
      acquisitions).
    o Loans to Executives. Adviser generally does not favor allowance of
      corporate loans to company officers for the purpose of buying stock,
      especially if the loans are at subsidized interest rates.
    o Amendments. Adviser does not favor plans that authorize the Board of
      Directors or its Compensation Committee to materially amend a plan without
      shareholder approval.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION.
Adviser will vote for director compensation plans on a case-by-case basis.
Adviser favors director compensation plans that include a large component of
stock-based compensation in proportion to the cash component. The same factors
for assessing the reasonableness of executive compensation plans may be applied
to director compensation proposals.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO LIMIT EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR PAY. Adviser will vote for
shareholder proposals to limit executive and director compensation on a
case-by-case basis.
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals seeking additional disclosure of
executive and director pay information that is relevant to voting determinations
under this policy.
The policy considerations identified above for voting determinations on
executive compensation plans may be relevant to determinations on shareholder
proposals to limit executive and director compensation. Adviser opposes
shareholder proposals that impose arbitrary limits on compensation.
GOLDEN AND TIN PARACHUTES.
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals to submit golden and tin parachutes
to shareholders for ratification. Adviser will vote on a case-by-case basis for
proposals to ratify or cancel golden or tin parachutes.
Management occasionally will propose a compensation plan that is triggered by
both a change in control of the company (e.g., hostile takeover or merger) and
termination of employment. These plans are commonly known as "golden parachutes"
in the case of top management and "tin parachutes" in the case of middle
management and other non-highly compensated employees. Shareholders should be
allowed to vote on all plans of this type. Adviser will vote against parachute
proposals that can be triggered by a mechanism or procedure that is within the
control of management or that exceed three times the annual base salary and
bonus of the recipients. The fact that a proposal includes reasonable provisions
for guaranteed retirement and other benefits should not be viewed negatively.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS (ESOP).
Adviser will vote for proposals seeking shareholder approval to implement an
ESOP or to increase authorized shares for existing ESOPs, except in cases when
the number of shares allocated to the ESOP is excessive (i.e., usually greater
than 5 percent of the outstanding shares).
ESOPs are stock bonus plans, or combinations of stock bonus plans and money
purchase pension plans, which qualify under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
ERISA, and other statutory and regulatory requirements. The plans are designed
to defer a portion of current employee income for retirement purposes.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLANS.
Adviser will vote for proposals with an offering period of 27 months or less and
voting power dilution (VPD) of ten percent or less and will vote against all
other proposals.
Employee stock purchase plans give employees an opportunity to purchase stock
(usually at a discount to market), primarily through payroll deductions. Such
plans can lead to greater commitment from employees, provide performance
incentives, and allow workers to share in the growth potential of their
employer.
401(k) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.
Adviser will vote for proposals to implement 401(k) savings plans for employees.
MERGERS AND CORPORATE RESTRUCTURINGS
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS.
Adviser will normally vote with management when a corporation is merging with,
or into, or acquiring, or being acquired by another firm or company on a
friendly basis. Hostile bids will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Adviser's vote on proposed mergers or acquisitions should promote the long-term
financial interest of its clients' accounts. Among the factors to be considered
are:
    o existence of clear, long-term benefits to shareholders, such as
      demonstrable stock price appreciation;
    o whether a "fairness opinion" has been issued and, if so, its
      quality and the credibility of the provider;
    o anticipated financial and operating benefits, including synergies
      to be obtained, if any;
    o offer price;
    o preservation or elimination of shareholder rights;
    o whether insiders would acquire control blocks of stock or receive
      excessive compensation or takeover cash-outs;
    o other options that may be available.

ASSET SALES.
Adviser will vote for asset sales that yield reasonable value and that serve a
stated corporate purpose, such as debt reduction, shedding an unprofitable
business, elimination of diseconomies of scale or negative synergies, raising
needed capital, etc.
Asset sales are often accompanied by an investment banker's opinion that
compares the sale transaction with similar deals. The market response to the
announcement of a proposed asset sale may also provide an indication of its
effect on shareholders.

SPIN-OFFS.
Adviser will vote for spin-offs that add economic value to its clients'
investment. A spin-off is a corporate strategy that divides a segment or
division of a large company into a separate corporate entity, the shares of
which are distributed to existing shareholders as a bonus or dividend. By way of
example, a corporation may spin off a business that is unprofitable or distracts
from its core business. Among the factors that should be considered are the
following:
    o tax and regulatory advantages;
    o market reaction to the announcement of proposed spin-off; o effects of
    spin-off on parent company; o planned use of sale proceeds; o managerial
    incentives that promote entrepreneurial behavior and
      better control over operations; and
    o possible motivation to thwart takeover attempts.

LIQUIDATIONS.
Adviser will vote on liquidations on a case-by-case basis after considering
management's efforts to pursue other alternatives, the appraisal value of the
assets, and the compensation plan for the executives managing the liquidation.
Although obviously not good news for long-term investors, a voluntary
liquidation is generally more attractive for shareholders than either a
bankruptcy or an offer for the company as a whole that is less than the value of
its assets.
APPRAISAL RIGHTS.
Adviser will vote for proposals to restore or confer rights of appraisal.
Mergers and other corporate restructuring transactions are subject to appraisal
rights in many states. Rights of appraisal provide shareholders that are not
satisfied with the terms of certain corporate transactions the right to demand a
judicial review to determine a fair value for their shares.
Appraisal rights also serve another important interest. If a majority of
shareholders approve a given transaction, the exercise of appraisal rights by a
minority shareholder will not necessarily prevent the transaction from taking
place. If a small minority of shareholders succeed in obtaining what they
believe to be a fair value, appraisal rights may benefit all shareholders. The
downside of appraisal rights is that if enough shareholders dissented and the
courts found that a transaction's terms were unfair, appraisal rights could
prevent a transaction that other shareholders had already approved. Unless a
shareholder is certain that his stock is substantially undervalued in, for
example, a merger transaction, initiating the appraisal process would not be
worth the time, trouble, and expense. The dissenting shareholder also faces the
possibility that he will receive less for his shares than the nondissenting
group, which has happened.
BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK.
Adviser will vote against proposals authorizing creation of new classes of
preferred stock with unspecified voting, conversion, dividend distribution, and
other rights ("blank check" preferred stock). Adviser will vote for proposals to
create blank check preferred stock in cases where the company expressly states
that the stock will not be used as a takeover defense or carry superior voting
rights. Adviser will vote for proposals to authorize preferred stock in cases
where the company specifies the voting, dividend, conversion, and other rights
of such stock and the terms of the preferred stock appear reasonable.
Adviser will vote against proposals to increase the number of blank check
preferred shares authorized for issuance when no shares have been issued or
reserved for a specific purpose.
Adviser will vote case-by-case on proposals to increase the number of blank
check preferred shares after analyzing the number of preferred shares available
for issue given a company's industry and performance in terms of shareholder
returns.
Preferred stock is technically an equity security, but has certain features
which liken it to debt instruments, such as fixed dividend payments, seniority
of claims status over common stock and, in most cases, no voting rights (except
on matters that affect the seniority of preferred stock as a class). The terms
of "blank check" preferred stock give the board of directors the power to issue
shares of preferred stock at their discretion--with voting, conversion,
distribution, and other rights to be determined by the board at the time of
issue.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS REGARDING BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK. Adviser will vote
for shareholder proposals to have blank check preferred stock placements, other
than those issued for the purpose of raising capital or making acquisitions in
the normal course of business, submitted for shareholder ratification. DEBT
RESTRUCTURINGS.
Adviser will vote on proposals to increase common and/or preferred stock and to
issue shares as part of a debt restructuring on a case-by-case basis.
Factors which Adviser will consider when review debt restructurings proxies
include dilution of ownership interest, change in control of the company, and
potential for the company to go bankrupt should the restructuring not be
approved.

TENDER OFFER DEFENSES
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLANS ("POISON PILLS").
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals calling for a company to submit its
poison pill for shareholder ratification. Adviser will generally vote against
management proposals to adopt poison pills and for shareholder proposals to
eliminate such poison pills.
Adviser may consider supporting a poison pill if the following factors are
present:
    o 20% or higher flip-in level (a flip-in provision provides that
     shareholders of the target company are given the right to purchase, at a
     discount, shares of their own company should the acquirer surpass a
     specified ownership threshold);

    o sunset provisions of five years or less;
    o shareholder redemption feature: If the board refuses to redeem the pill 90
     days after an offer is announced, ten percent of the shares may call a
     special meeting or seek a written consent to vote on rescinding the pill;
     and

    o no dead-hand or no-hand features.
FAIR PRICE PROVISIONS.
Adviser will vote proposals to adopt fair price provisions on a case-by-case
basis, evaluating factors such as the vote required to approve the proposed
acquisition, the vote required to repeal the fair price provision, and the
mechanism for determining the fair price. Adviser will vote against fair price
provisions with shareholder vote requirements greater than a majority of
disinterested shares. Standard fair price provisions require that, absent board
or shareholder approval of the acquisition, a bidder for the company must pay
the remaining shareholders the same price for their shares as was paid to buy
the control shares (usually between 5 to 20 percent of outstanding shares) that
triggered the provision. This requirement tends to make the cost of acquisition
prohibitively expensive. An acquirer may avoid such a pricing requirement by
obtaining the support of at least a majority of disinterested shares (fair price
provisions often require a supermajority vote requirement that may effectively
prevent an acquirer from obtaining relief from shareholders). GREENMAIL.
Adviser will vote for proposals to adopt antigreenmail charter or bylaw
amendments or to otherwise eliminate a company's ability to make greenmail
payments.
Adviser will vote on a case-by-case basis regarding antigreenmail proposals when
they are bundled with other charter or bylaw amendments. Greenmail payments are
targeted stock repurchases by management from a party seeking control of the
company, usually at a substantial premium over the market value of the shares.
PALE GREENMAIL.
Adviser will generally vote on a case-by-case basis for restructuring plans that
involve the payment of pale greenmail. Pale greenmail is nothing more than an
effort by management and greenmailers to disguise the true nature of their
transaction behind the veil of a restructuring or public share acquisition (as
opposed to a targeted share acquisition). In general, the company will acquire
all the shares of a certain shareholder(s) and then buy back a percentage of the
remaining shares outstanding at an amount equal to or greater than the purchase
price of the investor who targeted the company. Normally, this will result in a
drop in the share value following the transaction that is greater than any
premium received. However, since pale greenmail is typically disguised as part
of a restructuring effort, it is not easily discovered. Even when discovered,
the benefits to the proposed restructuring may outweigh the negative effects of
the proposed share repurchase. Therefore, Adviser will evaluate restructuring
plans that include the payment of pale greenmail on a case-by-case basis.
UNEQUAL VOTING RIGHTS.
Adviser will vote against proposals that would create different classes of stock
with unequal voting rights, such as dual class exchange offers and dual class
recapitalizations.
Adviser adheres to the "one share, one vote" philosophy: all holders of
common equity must be treated equally.


SUPERMAJORITY VOTE REQUIREMENTS.
Adviser will vote against management proposals to require a supermajority
shareholder vote to approve charter or bylaw amendments or to approve mergers
and other significant business combinations. Adviser will vote for shareholder
proposals to lower such supermajority requirements.
WHITE SQUIRE PLACEMENTS.
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals to require approval of blank check
preferred stock issues for other than general corporate purposes.
White Squire Placements are placements of large blocks of corporate securities,
or blank check preferred stock, with friendly third parties. This practice was
followed by a series of placements done before a tender offer was threatened -
the white squire placement - either to a private investor, a company's ESOP,
another corporation or to an investment fund. These placements may possibly
dilute existing shareholders' equity and voting positions.




PROPOSALS DESIGNED TO DISCOURAGE MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS IN ADVANCE. Adviser
will generally vote against proposals that direct board members to weigh
socioeconomic and legal as well as financial factors when evaluating takeover
bids, unless the Adviser's investment mandate from the client directs Adviser to
consider social implications of the account's investments.
These provisions direct Board members to weigh socioeconomic and legal as well
as financial factors when evaluating takeover bids. This catchall apparently
means that the perceived interests of customers, suppliers, managers, etc. would
have to be considered along with those of the shareholder. These proposals may
be worded: "amendments to instruct the Board to consider certain factors when
evaluating an acquisition proposal." Directors are elected primarily to promote
and protect shareholder interests. Directors should not allow other
considerations to dilute or deviate from those interests. STATE TAKEOVER
STATUTES.
Adviser will vote for proposals to opt out of state takeover statutes (control
share acquisition statutes, control share cash-out statutes, freezeout
provisions, fair price provisions, stakeholder laws, and disgorgement
provisions) that are harmful to the long-term interests of shareholders.
Control Share Acquisition Statutes are a prevalent form of state-sponsored
antitakeover legislation. Such statutes function by denying shares their voting
rights when they contribute to ownership in excess of certain thresholds (e.g.,
for Pennsylvania companies, those thresholds are 20%, 33%, and 50%). Voting
rights for those shares exceeding ownership limits may only be restored by
approval of either a majority or supermajority of disinterested investors.
Control Share Cash-Out Statutes give dissident shareholders the right to
"cash-out" of their position in a company at the expense of the shareholder who
has taken a control position. In other words, when an investor crosses a preset
threshold level, remaining shareholders are given the right to sell their shares
to the acquirer, who must buy them at the highest acquiring price.
Freezeout Provisions force an investor who surpasses a certain ownership
threshold in a company (usually between ten percent and 20 percent) to wait a
specified period of time (usually two to five years) before gaining control of
the company.
Fair Price Provisions contain a requirement that board and shareholder approval
be obtained for all takeover bids that do not meet predetermined fair price
standards.
Stakeholder laws permit directors, when taking action, to weigh the interests of
constituencies other than shareholders - including bondholders, employees,
creditors, customers, suppliers, the surrounding community, and even society as
a whole - in the process of corporate decision making. In other words, such laws
allow directors to consider nearly any factor they deem relevant in discharging
their duties.
Disgorgement Provisions require that an acquirer or potential acquirer of more
than a certain percentage of a company's stock pay back, or disgorge to the
company, any profits realized from the sale of that company's stock purchased 24
months before achieving control status. All sales of company stock by the
acquirer occurring within a certain period of time (between 18 months and 24
months) prior to the investor's gaining control status are subject to these
recapture-of-profit provisions.
Antitakeover laws tend to entrench management by making it difficult to effect a
change in control of the corporation. Such laws are often not in the best
interests of the institutional investor because they decrease the chances of
realizing full shareholder value.

MISCELLANEOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ISSUES
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS.
Adviser will vote for management proposals to institute open-market share
repurchase plans in which all shareholders may participate on equal terms.
REDUCING PAR VALUE OF COMMON STOCK.
Adviser will vote for management proposals to reduce the par value of common
stock.

STOCK DISTRIBUTIONS: SPLITS AND DIVIDENDS.
Adviser will vote for management proposals to increase common share
authorization for a stock split, provided that the increase in authorized shares
would not result in an excessive number of shares available for issuance given a
company's industry and performance in terms of shareholder returns.
REVERSE STOCK SPLITS.
Adviser will vote for management proposals to implement a reverse stock split
when the number of shares will be proportionately reduced or to avoid delisting.
Adviser will vote case-by-case on proposals to implement a reverse stock split
that do not proportionately reduce the number of shares authorized for issue.
A reverse stock split is an exchange of a greater number of shares for a lesser
number to increase the share price. The objective typically is to place the
company's shares in an optimal trading range. How could the number of authorized
common shares increase to more than 100 percent of existing authorized shares in
a reverse stock split, which should reduce the number of shares of common stock?
Many companies reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock through a
reverse stock split but fail to reduce proportionately the number of shares
authorized for issue. The result may effectively be a large increase in
authorized share, in which case Adviser will evaluate the proposal as if it were
a request for additional authorized shares. In extraordinary cases, Adviser will
approve an increase in authorized shares resulting from a reverse split which
would create a number of available shares in excess of the threshold amount if
delisting of the company's stock is imminent and would result in greater harm to
Adviser than the excessive share authorization.

INCREASE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK.
Adviser will vote case-by-case on proposals to increase the number of shares of
common stock authorized for issuance after analyzing the company's industry and
performance in terms of shareholder returns.


Adviser will vote against proposals at companies with dual-class capital
structures to increase the number of authorized shares of the class of stock
that has superior voting rights.
Authorized common shares allow management to issue new stock in the future for
ordinary business purposes such as raising new capital, funding stock
compensation programs, funding business acquisitions, implementing stock splits,
and paying stock dividends. (By contrast, outstanding common shares are the
common stock that has been issued by the company.) Corporations typically
request a large enough number of authorized shares to provide for projected
needs as well as for unexpected financing needs and unanticipated opportunities.
Continually seeking shareholder approval of additional stock authorizations each
time a need to issue shares for ordinary business purposes arises would be
costly and impractical.
When faced with a request to increase authorized common shares, Adviser will
examine the number of shares available for issuance (shares not outstanding and
not reserved for issuance) as a percentage of the total number of authorized
shares after giving effect to the requested increase. Adviser recognizes that
patterns of utilization of authorized common shares vary from industry to
industry. Within a given industry, companies that have posted superior
shareholder returns should be given more latitude with respect to capital stock
increases than lesser-performing companies. Companies that have used authorized
shares for stock splits and stock option plans with reasonable levels of
dilution and value transfer should be given further leeway. Institutional
Shareholder Services (ISS) compiles data on common stock proposals for companies
comprising 98 percent of the investable U.S. equity market. Companies are
classified into one of ten peer groups, and ISS divides companies within each
peer group into four quartiles based on three-year total shareholder returns. An
11th peer group is designated for rapidly growing companies whose shares have
recently become publicly traded. An "allowable increase" for a company is set
within each quartile, with the largest allowable increases for top quartile
performers and the smallest for bottom quartile companies. This allowable
increase represents the maximum permitted number of available shares as a
percentage of authorized shares after giving effect to the requested increase.
Adviser recommends votes against proposals to increase the number of authorized
common shares when the available shares on a post-increase basis exceeds the
allowable increase. Proposals to increase authorized common shares are supported
when the available shares after giving effect to the increase falls within the
allowable increase. Adviser recommends votes for increases beyond the allowable
increase when a company's shares are on the verge of being delisted or if a
company's ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain.

CHANGING CORPORATE NAME.
Adviser will generally vote for management proposals to change the
corporate name.
REINCORPORATION PROPOSALS.
Adviser will generally vote for reincorporation proposals that are supported by
sound business reasons and that do not significantly reduce shareholder rights
or management accountability; otherwise, Adviser will generally vote against
reincorporation proposals. CONFIDENTIAL VOTING.
Adviser will vote for proposals calling for corporations to adopt confidential
voting, use independent vote tabulators, and use independent inspectors of
election.
EQUAL ACCESS.
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals that would allow significant
shareholders equal access to management's proxy material (i) to evaluate and
propose voting recommendations on proxy proposals and director nominees or (ii)
to nominate their own candidates to the board.
Equal access proposals seek to include a shareholder's perspective within the
company's proxy statement. These proposals are designed to "even the playing
field" in the proxy system by providing large company shareholders opportunity
to discuss in the proxy statement the merits of management's director nominees,
nominate and profile director candidates, and discuss other management-sponsored
proposals. BUNDLED PROPOSALS.
Adviser will vote on bundled proposals on a case-by-case basis, voting for
bundled proposals of which the combined effect is positive and against all
others.
A bundled proposal refers to any proxy proposal that includes a number of
separate elements. Some bundled proposals are fair and straightforward,
involving various elements that belong together both logically and functionally.
However, certain bundled proxy proposals combine unrelated issues that should be
presented as separate voting items. Some companies have deliberately used these
types of proposals to manipulate the vote in order to pass a questionable
proposal by bundling it with a proposal(s) that would likely pass on its own - a
strategy similar to the use of riders and amendments in legislative packages.
SHAREHOLDER ADVISORY COMMITTEES.
Adviser will vote on proposals to establish shareholder advisory committees on a
case-by-case basis after consideration of the potential benefits and
disadvantages of the proposals.
ANNUAL MEETING LOCATION.
Adviser will normally vote against shareholder proposals to hold annual
meetings somewhere other than where management desires. DISCLOSURE. Adviser will
vote against proposals that would require any kind of government-related
disclosure, such as the release of information on a corporation's military
contracts, or any other unnecessary disclosure of business records.
investment company PROXIES
This section of the proxy guidelines relates to both open-end and closed-end
investment companies. Open-end investment companies have no set limit on the
number of shares they may issue. The value of an open-end fund's shares is
determined solely by dividing the value of that fund's portfolio by the number
of shares outstanding. Closed-end funds, on the other hand, have a capital stock
structure akin to that of operating companies, as the number of shares they may
issue is fixed. The shares of these funds trade on an exchange like other stocks
and may be more or less valuable than the value of the fund's portfolio. The
primary advantage of closed-end funds is that (1) they can be fully invested
with far fewer liquidity concerns; and (2) they do not have to maintain the same
level of liquidity as open-end funds, which must be able to redeem shares at the
request of their investors. At the time this Proxy Voting Policy was adopted,
Adviser did not manage any closed-end funds. However, issues relevant to
closed-end funds are covered for the sake of completeness.
There are a few proxy issues that relate specifically to closed-end funds. Those
will be noted below. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.
Adviser votes on director nominees will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis,
considering the following factors: board structure; director independence and
qualifications; compensation of directors within the fund and family of funds;
and, attendance at board and committee meetings.
Adviser will generally follow the same criteria used in the election of
directors for a publicly traded corporation as discussed above.
APPROVE NEW CLASSES OR SERIES OF SHARES
Adviser will vote for the establishment of new classes or series of shares.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS.
Adviser will vote investment advisory agreements on a case-by-case basis,
considering the following factors: proposed and current fee schedules; fund
category/investment objective; performance benchmarks; investment performance
compared with peers; and magnitude of fee increase.
Issues that can come up in these proxies are advisory fees, which will be
evaluated based on the proposed fee change as it relates to variations in asset
size, the fee change relative to fund performance, the fee structure of peers,
and the nature of the fund's investment profile. Another issue is changing
advisors from the fund to a subsidiary of the advisers or changing the advisory
agreement due to a change in the structure or purpose of the fund.
CHANGE FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION TO NONFUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION Adviser will vote
proposals to change a fundamental restriction to a nonfundamental restriction on
a case-by-case basis, considering the following factors: the fund's target
investments; the reasons given by the fund for the change; and, the projected
impact of the change on the portfolio.
Fundamental investment restrictions are limits proscribed in the fund's charter
document that determine the investment practices of the fund. Such restrictions
may only be amended or eliminated with shareholder approval. Nonfundamental
investment restrictions, by contrast, may be altered by the board of trustees.
CHANGE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE TO NONFUNDAMENTAL Adviser will vote
proposals to change a fund's fundamental investment objective to nonfundamental
on a case-by-case basis. Although it is generally undesirable for funds to
change their investment objective arbitrarily, it may be acceptable to avoid the
expense and uncertainty of future shareholder votes if the ability of the fund
to thereafter change its objective is subject to reasonable limits and oversight
by the Board.
CHANGE IN FUND'S SUBCLASSIFICATION
Adviser will vote changes in a fund's subclassification on a case-by-case basis,
considering the following factors: potential competitiveness; current and
potential returns; risk of concentration; and, consolidation in target industry.
Occasionally a fund will seek shareholder approval to change its
subclassification from a diversified to a nondiversified investment fund under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. The fund's manager recommends such a change
because it believes that the diversification requirements of the Act are
constraining and that the fund's performance could benefit from the change.
NAME CHANGE PROPOSALS
Adviser will vote name change proposals on a case-by-case basis, considering the
following factors: political/economic changes in the economic market; bundling
with quorum requirements; bundling with asset allocation changes; and,
consolidation in target market.
CHANGES TO THE CHARTER DOCUMENT
Adviser will vote changes to the charter document on a case-by-case basis,
considering the following factors: the degree of change implied by the proposal;
the efficiencies that could result; and regulatory standards and implications.
CHANGE THE FUND'S DOMICILE
Adviser will vote fund reincorporations on a case-by-case basis, considering the
following factors: regulations of both states; required fundamental policies of
both states; and, increased flexibility available.
CONVERT CLOSED-END FUND TO OPEN-END FUND [CLOSED-END FUNDS ONLY] Adviser will
vote conversion proposals on a case-by-case basis, considering the following
factors: past performance as a closed-end fund; market in which fund invests;
measures taken by the board to address the discount; and, past shareholder
activism, board activity, and votes on related proposals.
PREFERRED STOCK PROPOSALS [CLOSED-END FUNDS ONLY]
Adviser will vote the authorization for or increase in preferred shares on a
case-by-case basis, considering the following factors: stated specific financing
purpose; other reasons management gives; and, possible dilution for common
shares.
PROXY CONTESTS
Adviser will vote proxy contests on a case-by-case basis, considering the
following factors: past performance; market in which the fund invests; measures
taken by board to address the issue; and, past shareholder activism, board
activity, and votes on related proposals.
DISPOSITION OF ASSETS/TERMINATION/LIQUIDATION
Adviser will vote dispositions of assets/terminations/liquidations on a
case-by-case basis, considering the following factors: strategies employed to
save the company; the company's past performance; and, the terms of the
liquidations.

AUTHORIZE BOARD TO HIRE/TERMINATE SUBADVISERS WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
Adviser will generally vote on a case-by-case basis with regard to proposals
authorizing the board to hire/terminate subadvisers without shareholder
approval.
A fund is not currently permitted to make such changes without obtaining an
exemptive order, containing specific limitations and representations, from the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the terms of which restrict the fund's
ability to hire/terminate subadvisers arbitrarily.
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS.
Adviser will generally vote for proposed distribution agreements as long as the
agreements do not call for an excessive fee rate. Distribution Agreements
provide for what is commonly known as Rule 12b-1 fees, which are paid from net
assets used to promote the sale of the fund's shares. These fees provide a means
of allowing the fund to increase asset size and realize economies of scale.
MASTER-FEEDER STRUCTURE
Adviser will vote for the establishment of a master-feeder structure or the
investment of fund assets in an affiliated fund. Master-feeder structures allow
the fund to invest its assets in a pooled portfolio with funds having similar
investment objectives. Generally, these types of arrangements lead to certain
economies of scale and result in reduced operating costs and, ultimately,
enhanced shareholder value. Investments in an affiliated fund may benefit
investment performance and are subject to SEC rules against excessive
compensation.

MERGERS
Adviser will vote merger proposals on a case-by-case basis, considering the
following factors: the resulting fee structure; the performance of both funds;
and continuity of management personnel. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO ESTABLISH
DIRECTOR OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENT Adviser will vote against the establishment of a
director ownership requirement.
Adviser is generally in favor of director ownership of fund shares. However, in
large fund complexes, it may be impractical or undesirable for directors to own
shares of each fund in the complex. Therefore, Adviser believes that the terms
of such a policy should be determined by the board in conjunction with the
fund's management and sponsor. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO REIMBURSE SHAREHOLDER
FOR EXPENSES INCURRED Adviser will vote on the reimbursement of expenses on a
case-by-case basis.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO TERMINATE INVESTMENT ADVISER Adviser will vote
shareholders proposals to terminate the investment adviser on a case-by-case
basis, considering the following factors: performance of the fund's NAV; and,
the fund's history of shareholder relations.
SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.
Adviser will generally abstain from voting on proposals dealing with other
social and environmental issues in instances in which the best economic
interests of Adviser's clients will not be affected positively or negatively by
the determination of such an issue, unless the Adviser's investment mandate from
the client directs Adviser to follow a socially responsible investment strategy,
in which case the Adviser vote such matters on a case-by-case basis. In
situations in which the proposal would positively affect the economic interests
of Adviser's clients, Adviser will generally vote for the proposal. Conversely,
in situations in which the proposal would negatively affect the economic
interests of Adviser's clients, Adviser will generally vote against the
proposal. Where the Adviser is mandated to follow a socially responsible
investment strategy, Adviser will weigh the comparative benefits to shareholders
against the social interest that would be served by the proposal.
Adviser may consider the following in analyzing shareholder social
proposals:
>> whether adoption of the proposal would have either a positive or negative
   impact on the company's short-term or long-term share value;
>>    the percentage of sales, assets, and earnings affected;
>>    the degree to which the company's stated position on issues
   raised in the proposal could affect its reputation or sales, or
   leave it vulnerable to boycott or selective purchasing;
>>    whether the issues presented should be dealt with through
   government action or through company-specific action;
>>    whether the company has already responded in some appropriate
   manner to the request embodied in the proposal;
>>    whether the company's analysis and voting recommendation to
   shareholders is persuasive;
>> what other companies have done in response to the issue; >> whether the
proposal itself is well framed and reasonable; >> whether implementation of the
proposal would achieve the
   objectives sought in the proposal; and
>>    whether the subject of the proposal is best left to the
   discretion of the board.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION
The disclosure policy of the Funds and the Advisor prohibits the disclosure of
portfolio holdings information to any investor or intermediary before the same
information is made available to other investors. Employees of the Advisor or
its affiliates who have access to nonpublic information concerning the Fund's
portfolio holdings are prohibited from trading securities on the basis of this
information. Such persons must report all personal securities trades and obtain
pre-clearance for all personal securities trades other than mutual fund shares.

Firms that provide administrative, custody, financial, accounting, legal or
other services to the Funds may receive nonpublic information about Fund
portfolio holdings for purposes relating to their services. All of these service
providers are identified elsewhere in the Prospectus or SAI. The Funds may also
provide portfolio holdings information to publications that rate, rank or
otherwise categorize investment companies. These organizations are CDA
Weisenberger and Lipper. Traders or portfolio managers may provide "interest"
lists to facilitate portfolio trading if the list reflects only that subset of
the portfolio for which the trader or portfolio manager is seeking market
interest. A list of service providers, publications and other third parties who
may receive nonpublic portfolio holdings information appears in the Appendix to
this SAI.

The furnishing of nonpublic portfolio holdings information to any third party
(other than authorized governmental or regulatory personnel) requires the prior
approval of the President of the Advisor and of the Chief Compliance Officer of
the Funds. The President of the Advisor and the Chief Compliance Officer will
approve the furnishing of nonpublic portfolio holdings information to a third
party and will be given only if there is a legitimate business purpose and such
disclosure is subject to a confidentiality agreement to safeguard the
confidentiality of the information so that the information will be used only for
the purposes for which it was furnished and otherwise protect against misuse of
such information. In that regard, and to address possible conflicts between the
interests of Fund shareholders and those of the Advisor and its affiliates, the
following procedures apply. No consideration may be received by the Funds, the
Advisor, any affiliate of the Advisor or any of their employees in connection
with the disclosure of portfolio holdings information. Persons approved to
receive nonpublic portfolio holdings information will receive it as often as
necessary for the purpose for which it is provided. Such information may be
furnished as frequently as daily and often with no time lag between the date of
the information and the date it is furnished. The Board receives and reviews
annually a list of the persons who receive nonpublic portfolio holdings
information and the purposes for which it is furnished.


BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS
When selecting brokers and dealers to handle the purchase and sale of portfolio
instruments, the Advisor looks for prompt execution of the order at a favorable
price. The Advisor will generally use those who are recognized dealers in
specific portfolio instruments, except when a better price and execution of the
order can be obtained elsewhere. The Advisor makes decisions on portfolio
transactions and selects brokers and dealers subject to review by the Funds'
Board.

Investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from those of other
accounts managed by the Advisor. When the Funds and one or more of those
accounts invests in, or disposes of, the same security, available investments or
opportunities for sales will be allocated among the Funds and the account(s) in
a manner believed by the Advisor to be equitable. While the coordination and
ability to participate in volume transactions may benefit the Funds, it is
possible that this procedure could adversely impact the price paid or received
and/or the position obtained or disposed of by the Funds.

RESEARCH SERVICES
Research services may include advice as to the advisability of investing in
securities; security analysis and reports; economic studies; industry studies;
receipt of quotations for portfolio evaluations; and similar services. Research
services may be used by the Advisor or by affiliates of the subadvisors in
advising other accounts. To the extent that receipt of these services may
replace services for which the Advisor or its affiliates might otherwise have
paid, it would tend to reduce their expenses. The Advisor and its affiliates
exercise reasonable business judgment in selecting those brokers who offer
brokerage and research services to execute securities transactions. They
determine in good faith that commissions charged by such persons are reasonable
in relationship to the value of the brokerage and research services provided.

HOW DO THE FUNDS MEASURE PERFORMANCE?
=========================================================================

The Funds may advertise Share performance by using the SEC's standard method for
calculating performance applicable to all mutual funds. The SEC also permits
this standard performance information to be accompanied by non-standard
performance information.

Share performance reflects the effect of non-recurring charges, such as maximum
sales charges, which, if excluded, would increase the total return and yield.
The performance of Shares depends upon such variables as: portfolio quality;
average portfolio maturity; type and value of portfolio securities; changes in
interest rates; changes or differences in a Fund's or any class of Shares'
expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings
fluctuate daily. Both net earnings and offering price per Share are factors in
the computation of yield and total return.






TOTAL RETURN
Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of
Shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and
capital gains distributions.

The average annual total return for Shares is the average compounded rate of
return for a given period that would equate a $10,000 initial investment to the
ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is
computed by multiplying the number of Shares owned at the end of the period by
the NAV per Share at the end of the period. The number of Shares owned at the
end of the period is based on the number of Shares purchased at the beginning of
the period with $10,000, less any applicable sales charge, adjusted over the
period by any additional Shares, assuming the annual reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions. Total returns after taxes are calculated in a
similar manner, but reflect additional standard assumptions required by the SEC.

When Shares of a Fund are in existence for less than a year, the Fund may
advertise cumulative total return for that specific period of time, rather than
annualizing the total return.

YIELD
The yield of Shares of the Equity, Income, Managed Allocation and Balanced Funds
is calculated by dividing: (i) the net investment income per Share earned by the
Shares over a 30-day period; by (ii) the maximum offering price per Share on the
last day of the period. This number is then annualized using semi-annual
compounding. This means that the amount of income generated during the 30-day
period is assumed to be generated each month over a 12-month period and is
reinvested every six months.

The yield of Shares of the Money Market Funds is based upon the seven days
ending on the day of the calculation, called the "base period." This yield is
calculated by: determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical account
with a balance of one Share at the beginning of the base period, with the net
change excluding capital changes but including the value of any additional
Shares purchased with dividends earned from the original one Share and all
dividends declared on the original and any purchased Shares; dividing the net
change in the account's value by the value of the account at the beginning of
the base period to determine the base period return; and multiplying the base
period return by 365/7. The effective yield of the Money Market Funds is
calculated by compounding the unannualized base-period return by: adding one to
the base-period return, raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and subtracting
one from the result. The tax-equivalent yield of Shares of New York Tax-Free
Money Market Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund and Pennsylvania Municipal Bond
Fund is calculated similarly to the yield, but is adjusted to reflect the
taxable yield that Shares would have had to earn to equal the actual yield,
assuming a specific tax rate. The yield, effective yield and tax-equivalent
yield do not necessarily reflect income actually earned by Shares because of
certain adjustments required by the SEC and, therefore, may not correlate to the
dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.

To the extent investment professionals and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in Shares,
the Share performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.

From time to time, the Money Market Fund will quote their Lipper rankings in the
"money market instrument funds" category in advertising and sales literature.
Investors may use such a reporting service in addition to the Funds'
prospectuses to obtain a more complete view of the Funds' performance before
investing. Of course, when comparing Fund performance to any reporting service,
factors such as composition of the reporting service and prevailing market
conditions should be considered in assessing the significance of such
comparisons.

Advertising and other promotional literature may include charts, graphs and
other illustrations using the Funds' returns, or returns in general, that
demonstrate basic investment concepts such as tax-deferred compounding,
dollar-cost averaging and systematic investment. In addition, a Fund can compare
its performance, or performance for the types of securities in which it invests,
to a variety of other investments, such as federally insured bank products,
including time deposits, bank savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and
Treasury bills, and to money market funds using the Lipper, Inc. money market
instruments average. Unlike federally insured bank products, the Shares of the
Funds are not insured. Unlike money market funds, which attempt to maintain a
stable NAV, the NAV of the Income and Equity Funds' Shares fluctuates.
Advertisements may quote performance information which does not reflect the
effect of any applicable sales charges.

INVESTMENT RATINGS
=========================================================================


STANDARD AND POOR'S

Long-Term Debt Rating Definitions
AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

AA--Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small degree.

A--Debt rated A 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.

BBB--Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest
and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for
debt in this category than in higher-rated categories.

BB--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.

B--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.

CCC--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.

CC--The rating CC typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior debt that
is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.

C--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.


Commercial Paper (CP) Ratings
An S&P commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the likelihood of
timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days.

A-1--This highest category 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.

A-2--Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated A-1.


Short-Term Municipal Obligation Ratings
A Standard & Poor's (S&P) note rating reflects the liquidity concerns
and market access risks unique to notes.

SP-1--Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a plus
sign (+) designation.

SP-2--Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.


Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs) And Tender Option Bonds (TOBs) Ratings
S&P assigns dual ratings to all long-term debt issues that have as part of
their provisions a variable rate demand feature. The first rating (long-term
rating) addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest when
due, and the second rating (short-term rating) describes the demand
characteristics. Several examples are AAA/A-1+, AA/A-1+, A/A-1. (The definitions
for the long-term and the short-term ratings are provided below.)


MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.

Long-Term Bond Rating Definitions
Aaa--Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt
edged. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an 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.

Aa--Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation 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 in Aaa securities.

A--Bonds which are rated A 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.

Baa--Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as 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.

Ba--Bonds which are Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their future
cannot be considered as 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.

B--Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa--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.

Ca--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.

C--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.


Commercial Paper Ratings
P-1--Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment
capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics: leading
market positions in well established industries, high rates of return on funds
employed, conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt
and ample asset protection, broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial
charges and high internal cash generation, well-established access to a range of
financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

P-2--Issuers rated Prime-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally
be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above, but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.


Short-Term Municipal Obligation Ratings
Moody's Investor Service, Inc. (Moody's) short-term ratings are designated
Moody's Investment Grade (MIG or VMIG). (See below.) The purpose of the MIG or
VMIG ratings is to provide investors with a simple system by which the relative
investment qualities of short-term obligations may be evaluated.

MIG1--This designation denotes best quality. There is present strong protection
by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or demonstrated broad
based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG2--This designation denotes high quality. Margins of protection are ample
although not so large as in the preceding group.


Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs) And Tender Option Bonds (TOBs) Ratings
Short-term ratings on issues with demand features are differentiated by the use
of the VMIG symbol to reflect such characteristics as payment upon periodic
demand rather than fixed maturity dates and payment relying on external
liquidity. In this case, two ratings are usually assigned, (for example,
Aaa/VMIG-1); the first representing an evaluation of the degree of risk
associated with scheduled principal and interest payments, and the second
representing an evaluation of the degree of risk associated with the demand
feature. The VMIG rating can be assigned a 1 or 2 designation using the same
definitions described above for the MIG rating.

FITCH RATINGS

Long-Term Debt Rating Definitions
AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality.
The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay
principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although
not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA
categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,
short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.

A--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality.
The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are
more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds, and therefore impair timely
payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below
investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

BB--Bonds are considered speculative. The obligor's ability to pay interest and
repay principal may be affected over time by adverse economic changes. However,
business and financial alternatives can be identified which could assist the
obligor in satisfying its debt service requirements.

B--Bonds are considered highly speculative. While bonds in this class are
currently meeting debt service requirements, the probability of continued timely
payment of principal and interest reflects the obligor's limited margin of
safety and the need for reasonable business and economic activity throughout the
life of the issue.

CCC--Bonds have certain identifiable characteristics which, if not remedied, may
lead to default. The ability to meet obligations requires an advantageous
business and economic environment.

CC--Bonds are minimally protected. Default in payment of interest and/or
principal seems probable over time.

C--Bonds are imminent default in payment of interest or principal.


Short-Term Debt Rating Definitions
F-1+--Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating
are regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely
payment.

F-1--Very Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating reflect an
assurance for timely payment, only slightly less in degree than issues rated
F-1+.

F-2--Good Credit Quality. Issues carrying this rating have a satisfactory degree
of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as great as for
issues assigned F-1+ and F-1 ratings.


Commercial Paper Rating Definitions
FITCH-1--(Highest Grade) Commercial paper assigned this rating is regarded as
having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

FITCH-2--(Very Good Grade) Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of
timely payment only slightly less in degree than the strongest issues.


LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS
NR--Indicates that both the bonds and the obligor or credit enhancer are not
currently rated by S&P or Moody's with respect to short-term indebtedness.
However, management considers them to be of comparable quality to securities
rated A-1 or P-1.

NR(1)--The underlying issuer/obligor/guarantor has other outstanding debt rated
AAA by S&P or Aaa by Moody's.

NR(2)--The underlying issuer/obligor/guarantor has other outstanding debt rated
AA by S&P or Aa by Moody's.

NR(3)--The underlying issuer/obligor/guarantor has other outstanding debt rated
A by S&P or Moody's.

Other Considerations

Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning bond, note and commercial
paper ratings are the following: (i) evaluation of the management of the issuer;
(ii) economic evaluation of the issuer's industry or industries and an appraisal
of speculative-type risks which may be inherent in certain areas; (iii)
evaluation of the issuer's products in relation to competition and customer
acceptance; (iv) liquidity; (v) amount and quality of long-term debt; (vi) trend
of earnings over a period of 10 years; (vii) financial strength of a parent
company and the relationships which exist with the issuer; and (viii)
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.

Among the factors considered by S&P in assigning bond, note and commercial
paper ratings are the following: (i) trend of earnings and cash flow with
allowances made for unusual circumstances, (ii) stability of the issuer's
industry, (iii) the issuer's relative strength and position within the industry
and (iv) the reliability and quality of management.

August 31, 2005 : INSTITUTIONAL CLASS PROSPECTUS

Introduction Information Common to All Funds

Each portfolio (each, a Fund) of MTB Group of Funds (the Trust) is a mutual fund. A mutual fund pools shareholders’ money and, using professional investment managers, invests it in securities.

Each Fund has its own investment goal and strategies for reaching that goal. The investment advisor (or sub-advisor) invests each Fund’s assets in a way that the advisor believes will help a Fund achieve its goal. Still, investing in each Fund involves risk, and there is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its goal. The investment advisor’s judgments about the markets, the economy, or companies may not anticipate actual market movements, economic conditions or company performance, and these judgments may affect the return on your investment. In fact, no matter how good a job the investment advisor does, you could lose money on your investment in a Fund, just as you could with other investments. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency.

The value of your investment in a Fund is based on the market prices of the securities the Fund holds. These prices change daily due to economic and other events that affect particular companies and other issuers. These price movements, sometimes called volatility, may be greater or lesser depending on the types of securities a Fund owns and the markets in which they trade. The effect on a Fund of a change in the value of a single security will depend on how widely the Fund diversifies its holdings.

The MTB U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, MTB U.S. Government Money Market Fund, MTB Money Market Fund, MTB Tax-Free Money Market Fund, MTB Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund, MTB Prime Money Market Fund and MTB New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund try to maintain a constant price per share of $1.00, but there is no guarantee that these Funds will achieve this goal. Please call 1-800-836-2211 to obtain current 7-day yield information for these Funds.

Fund Goals, Strategies, Risks and Performance

<R>

This prospectus of the Trust offers Institutional I Shares of 22 Funds, including 11 Stock Funds, one Balanced Fund, eight Bond Funds and two Money Market Funds; Institutional I Shares and Institutional II Shares of three Money Market Funds; Institutional Shares of two Money Market Funds; Institutional I Shares, Institutional II Shares and Class S Shares of one Money Market Fund; and Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares, Institutional II Shares and Class S Shares of one Money Market Fund. Under a separate prospectus, the Trust offers one or more additional classes of shares (Class A Shares, Class B Shares, or Class C Shares) for each Fund covered by this prospectus (except Prime Money Market Fund). In addition, the Trust offers, under a separate prospectus, one or more classes of shares for three Managed Allocation Funds not covered by this prospectus.

</R>

The following pages describe the investment goals (objectives), strategies and principal risks of each Fund whose Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares, Institutional II Shares or Class S Shares are offered by this prospectus. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its goal. However, each Fund endeavors to do so by following the strategies and policies described in this prospectus.

The investment goal of each Fund may only be changed upon the approval of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Fund which may be affected by the changes. Certain investment strategies may be changed without shareholder approval, although a Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior written notice of a change in its 80% investment policy.

Prior to that date, each Successor MTB Fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided in the prospectus for periods prior to the Closing Date is historical information for the corresponding ARK Fund (and also reflects that Institutional Shares of each Accounting Survivor have been redesignated as Institutional I Shares of the corresponding MTB Fund). Each of the corresponding ARK Funds was managed by Allied Investment Advisors, Inc. (AIA), which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (M&T Bank) on April 1, 2003, when M&T Bank Corporation acquired Allfirst Financial, Inc., Allfirst Bank (Allfirst) and their affiliates. On August 22, 2003, the investment advisory operations of M&T Asset Management, a department of M&T Bank, which was the pre-Reorganization advisor to the Trust, were transferred to AIA (which was renamed MTB Investment Advisors, Inc.). Effective on that date, MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. (MTBIA) became the investment advisor to the Trust. Each Successor MTB Fund has investment objectives and policies that are identical or substantially similar to those of the corresponding ARK Fund. Each Successor MTB Fund has different fee and expense arrangements than the corresponding ARK Fund.

Each of the Corresponding Governor Funds was managed through January 8, 2001 by Martindale Andres & Company LLC, which became a subsidiary of M&T Bank on October 6, 2000. On January 8, 2001, M&T Asset Management, a department of M&T Bank, assumed all advisory responsibilities. Each Corresponding Governor Fund had investment objectives and policies that are identical or substantially similar to that of the Successor MTB Fund, although the Corresponding Governor Funds had different fee and expense arrangements.

</R>

Goal

To seek current income with liquidity and stability of principal.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in money market instruments comprising a diversified portfolio of high quality, short-term debt obligations issued by the U.S. government, banks and corporations.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may purchase only securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Example

The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Class S Shares, Institutional, Institutional I Shares and Institutional II Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Class S Shares, Institutional I Shares and Institutional II Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Class S Shares, Institutional, Institutional I Shares and Institutional II Shares operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

     1 Year     3 Years     5 Years     10 Years
Class S   $ 107   $ 334   $ 579   $ 1,283

MTB NEW YORK TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

</R>

Cusip: 55376T320 Symbol: VNIXX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

To seek a high level of current interest income that is exempt from federal regular income tax as is consistent with liquidity and relative stability of principal.

Strategy

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of tax-exempt money market obligations. The Fund maintains a fundamental investment policy that at least 80% of its income will, under normal market conditions, be exempt from federal regular income tax, federal alternative minimum tax and New York State income tax. Such income should also be exempt from New York City income taxes.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may purchase only securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
  • New York Investment Risks. The Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect securities issued by New York issuers. The economy of New York state is large and diverse, from agriculture, manufacturing, and high technology in upstate counties to advertising, finance and banking in New York City. Any major changes to the financial conditions of New York City, however, would ultimately have an effect on the state.

MTB PENNSYLVANIA TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

Cusip: 55376T262 Symbol: ARPXX (Institutional I Shares)
Cusip: 55376T254 Symbol: ARAXX (Institutional II Shares)

Goal

Maximizing current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania personal income taxes and providing liquidity and security of principal.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing in high-quality, short-term municipal money market instruments that pay interest that is exempt from federal and Pennsylvania personal income taxes. The Fund has a fundamental policy that at least 80% of its income will, under normal market conditions, be exempt from federal income tax, including the federal alternative minimum tax, and Pennsylvania personal income tax. The principal issuers of these securities may be state and local governments and agencies located in Pennsylvania, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories and possessions.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may only purchase securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
  • Pennsylvania Investment Risks. The Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect securities issued by Pennsylvania issuers. Pennsylvania’s economy has historically been dependent on heavy industry and agriculture but has diversified recently into medical and health services, education and financial services. Future economic difficulties in any of these industries could have an adverse impact on the finances of the state.

MTB PRIME MONEY MARKET FUND

Cusip: 55376T841 Symbol: GVPXX (Institutional Shares)

Goal

To seek current income with liquidity and stability of principal.

Strategy

The Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes in money market instruments, consisting primarily of bank certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, prime commercial paper, corporate obligations, municipal obligations, asset-backed securities, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and repurchase agreements backed by such obligations. The Fund may also invest in certain U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.
  • Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign, economic, political or regulatory conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States.

MTB TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

Cusip: 55376V309 Symbol: AKXXX (Institutional I Shares)
Cusip: 55376V408 Symbol: AFIXX (Institutional II Shares)

Goal

Maximizing current income exempt from federal income tax and providing liquidity and stability of principal.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing in high-quality, short-term municipal money market instruments that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax. The issuers of these securities may be state and local governments and agencies located in any of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions. The Fund is well diversified among issuers and comprised only of short-term debt securities that are rated in the two highest categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or determined by the Advisor to be of equal credit quality. The Fund maintains a fundamental policy that at least 80% of its income will, under normal market conditions, be exempt from federal income tax, including the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). The Fund attempts to invest 100% of its assets in securities exempt from federal income tax (not including the AMT).

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may purchase only securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing in obligations issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and repurchase agreements. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements backed by such instruments.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers factors such as current yield, the anticipated level of interest rates, and the maturity of the instrument relative to the maturity of the entire Fund. In addition, the Fund may purchase only securities that meet certain SEC requirements relating to maturity, diversification and credit quality. Under these requirements, the Fund’s securities must have remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and the Fund must have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

The Fund intends to invest in the securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in GSE securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. Finally, the Fund may invest in a few GSE securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Such securities include those issued by the Farm Credit System and the Financing Corporation.

MTB INCOME FUND

Cusip: 55376T858 Symbol: ARKIX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

Primarily current income and secondarily capital growth.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in U.S. investment grade corporate and government fixed income securities, including mortgage backed securities. The Fund’s Advisor will generally select investment grade fixed income securities and unrated securities determined to be of comparable quality, but also may invest up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets in lower-rated debt securities (“junk bonds”). The Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of four to twenty years. However, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund’s investments will vary depending on market conditions. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers a security’s current yield, credit quality, capital appreciation potential, maturity and yield to maturity. The Advisor will monitor changing economic conditions and trends, including interest rates, and may sell securities in anticipation of an increase in interest rates or purchase securities in anticipation of a decrease in interest rates.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.
  • Risks Associated with Non-Investment Grade Securities. Securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate and credit risks than investment grade securities.

Goal

Current income.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in U.S. investment grade corporate and government fixed income securities, including mortgage and asset backed securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in fixed income securities. The Fund’s Advisor will select investment grade fixed income securities and unrated securities determined to be of comparable quality, but also may invest up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets in lower-rated debt securities (“junk bonds”). The Fund normally invests in securities with intermediate maturities, and the Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of three to ten years. However, the Fund has no maturity restrictions on individual issues, and the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund’s investments will vary depending on market conditions.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers a security’s current yield, credit quality, capital appreciation potential, maturity and yield to maturity. The Advisor will monitor changing economic conditions and trends, including interest rates, and may sell securities in anticipation of an increase in interest rates or purchase securities in anticipation of a decrease in interest rates.

The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark index from Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index to Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Index because it is more reflective of the Fund’s investment strategy. The Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc. with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the index shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance.

MTB MARYLAND MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Cusip: 55376T544 Symbol: ARMTX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

Current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Maryland state and local income taxes.

Strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests its assets so that at least 80% of the income it distributes will be exempt from federal regular income tax and personal income tax imposed by the State of Maryland and Maryland municipalities. The principal issuers of these securities are state and local governments and agencies located in Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions. However, the income on these securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a larger percentage of assets in a small number of issuers. The Fund invests in investment grade municipal securities.

In selecting securities, the Fund’s Advisor considers the future direction of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, as well as credit quality and sector allocation issues. Sector allocation issues involve the relative attractiveness of rates and market opportunities in sectors such as general obligation or revenue bonds.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
  • Risks of Non-Diversification. The Fund may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities.
  • Maryland Investment Risks. The Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect securities issued by Maryland issuers. The economy of Maryland is relatively diversified across the service, trade and government sectors, but could be adversely impacted by changes to any of these sectors.

MTB NEW YORK MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Cusip: 55376T346 Symbol: VNYIX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

To provide current income which is exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of New York and New York municipalities and as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

Strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests its assets so that at least 80% of the income it distributes will be exempt from federal regular income tax and personal income tax imposed by the State of New York and New York municipalities. However, the income on these securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a larger percentage of assets in a small number of issuers. The Fund invests in investment grade municipal securities.

In selecting securities, the Fund’s Advisor considers the future direction of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, as well as credit quality and sector allocation issues. Sector allocation issues involve the relative attractiveness of rates and market opportunities in sectors such as general obligation or revenue bonds.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
  • Risks of Non-Diversification. The Fund may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities.
  • New York Investment Risks. The Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect securities issued by New York issuers. The economy of New York state is large and diverse, from agriculture, manufacturing, and high technology in upstate counties to advertising, finance and banking in New York City. Any major changes to the financial conditions of New York City, however, would ultimately have an effect on the state.

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund’s Institutional I Shares Average Annual Total Returns, reduced to reflect applicable sales charges, for the calendar periods ending December 31, 2004. Return Before Taxes is shown. In addition, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. The table also shows returns for the Lehman Brothers New York Tax-Exempt Index (LBNYTE), a broad-based market index, and the Lipper New York Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average. The LBNYTE is a total return performance benchmark for the New York long-term, investment grade, tax-exempt bond market. Returns and attributes for this index are calculated semi-monthly using approximately 22,000 municipal bonds classified as general obligation bonds (state and local), revenue bonds (excluding insured revenue bonds), insured bonds (includes all bond insurers with Aaa/AAA ratings), and prerefunded bonds. The Lipper New York Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the index shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

MTB PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Cusip: 55376T288 Symbol: MVPMX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

Current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Pennsylvania personal income taxes.

Strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests its assets so that at least 80% of the income it distributes will be exempt from federal regular income tax and personal income tax imposed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania municipalities. The principal issuers of these securities are state and local governments and agencies located in Pennsylvania, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions. However, the income on these securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a larger percentage of assets in a small number of issuers. The Fund invests in investment grade municipal securities.

In selecting securities, the Fund’s Advisor considers the future direction of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, as well as credit quality and sector allocation issues. Sector allocation issues involve the relative attractiveness of rates and market opportunities in sectors such as general obligation or revenue bonds.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

  • Tax Risks. Failure of a municipal security to meet certain legal requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
  • Risks of Non-Diversification. The Fund may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities.
  • Pennsylvania Investment Risks. The Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect securities issued by Pennsylvania issuers. Pennsylvania’s economy has historically been dependent on heavy industry and agriculture but has diversified recently into medical and health services, education and financial services. Future economic difficulties in any of these industries could have an adverse impact on the finances of the state.

MTB SHORT DURATION GOVERNMENT BOND FUND

Cusip:55376T221 Symbol: GVLDX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

To seek current income, with preservation of capital as a secondary objective.

Strategy

The Fund normally invests substantially all, but under normal market conditions no less than 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of debt obligations issued or supported as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities including mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, variable and floating rate securities, and zero coupon securities, and in repurchase agreements backed by such securities. Certain mortgage backed securities, including adjustable rate mortgage securities (ARMs) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are included within the definition of “U.S. government securities.” The Fund expects to maintain a duration of less than three years under normal market conditions.

The Fund intends to invest in the securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in GSE securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. Finally, the Fund may invest in some GSE securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Such securities include those issued by the Farm Credit System and the Financing Corporation.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.

The commingled accounts were not registered with the SEC and, therefore, were not subject to investment restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the commingled accounts had been registered, the commingled accounts’ performance may have been adversely affected.

MTB SHORT-TERM CORPORATE BOND FUND

Cusip: 55376T189 Symbol: MVSTX (Institutional I Shares)

</R>

Goal

Current income.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in U.S. corporate fixed income securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. corporate fixed income securities. The Fund’s Advisor will select investment grade securities and unrated securities determined to be of comparable quality, but also may invest up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets in lower-rated debt securities (“junk bonds”). The Fund also invests in a range of U.S. government securities, including mortgage and asset-backed securities. For purposes of the Fund’s 80% investment policy, U.S. corporate fixed income securities would include corporate asset-backed securities. The Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of no more than three years. However, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund’s investments will vary depending on market conditions.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers a security’s current yield, capital appreciation potential, maturity and yield to maturity. The Advisor will monitor changing economic conditions and trends, including interest rates, and may sell securities in anticipation of an increase in interest rates or purchase securities in anticipation of a decline in interest rates.

</R>

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.
  • Risks Associated with Non-Investment Grade Securities. Securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate and credit risks than investment grade securities.

The LB1-3GC is a new index that captures funds with exposures to both government and commercial credit. The LB1-3GB is a widely recognized index of U.S. government obligations with maturities between one and three years. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark index from LB1-3GB to LB1-3GC because it is more reflective of the Fund’s investment strategy. The Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the indexes shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

MTB U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND

Cusip: 55376V705 Symbol: MVIGX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

To provide current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary, non-fundamental investment consideration.

Strategy

The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio consisting of debt obligations that are guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, and government-sponsored enterprises including mortgage backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The Fund anticipates that most of its assets will be invested in fixed income securities having maturities greater than one year. Certain mortgage backed securities, including adjustable rate mortgage securities (ARMs) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are included within the definition of “U.S. government securities.” The Fund may invest at times to a limited extent in other types of debt obligations to enhance total return (e.g., corporate debt obligations, taxable municipal securities, asset backed securities, etc.).

The Fund intends to invest in the securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in GSE securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. Finally, the Fund may invest in some GSE securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Such securities include those issued by the Farm Credit System and the Financing Corporation.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.

The LBAB is a total return index measuring both the capital price changes and income provided by the underlying universe of securities, weighted by market value outstanding. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark from the LBAB to the LBUSGB because it is more reflective of the Fund’s investment strategy. The Lipper U.S. Government Funds Objective is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the indexes shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance.

MTB BALANCED FUND

Cusip: 55376T304 Symbol: ARGIX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

To provide total return. The Fund’s total return will consist of both current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation, provided by fixed income securities and long-term capital appreciation provided by equity securities.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in a diverse portfolio of common stocks and investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund’s Advisor will select common stocks of mid cap and large cap companies that are recognized leaders in their respective markets. In evaluating securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers each company’s current financial strength, revenue, earnings growth, and relative valuation of its stock. The Advisor will also purchase investment grade fixed income securities with varying maturities, including corporate and government securities and mortgage backed securities but also may invest up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets in lower-rated debt securities (junk bonds). The Advisor will adjust the Fund’s asset mix based on its analysis of the relative attractiveness and risk of bonds and stocks in connection with economic, financial and other market trends. The Fund maintains at least 25% of its total assets in fixed income securities. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor attempts to maximize total return by purchasing a combination of common stocks and fixed income securities of primarily U.S. issuers. The Advisor will also attempt to minimize price declines during equity market downturns by reallocating assets to fixed income securities.

For purposes of the fund strategy regarding selection of common stocks, mid cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index and the Russell Mid Cap Index; and large cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P 500 Index. The definitions will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the relevant indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index ranged from $300 million to $11.46 billion; the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap Index ranged from $858 million to $14.52 billion; and the market capitalization of companies in the S&P 500 Index ranged from $500 million to $367.5 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining mid- and large-cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

</R>

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.
  • Interest Rate Risks. Prices of fixed income securities generally fall when interest rates rise.
  • Credit Risks. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default in the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • Prepayment Risks. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed income securities.
  • Call Risks. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.
  • Risks Associated with Non-Investment Grade Securities. Securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate and credit risks than investment grade securities.

The S&P 500/BG is a capitalization-weighted index of the stocks in the S&P 500 having the highest price-to-book ratios. The index consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 on a market-capitalization basis. The S&P 500 is a capitalization weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a total return index measuring both the capital price changes and income provided by the underlying universe of securities, weighted by market value outstanding. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark index from S&P 500 to S&P 500/BG because it is more reflective of the Fund’s current investment strategy.

MTB EQUITY INCOME FUND

</R>

Cusip: 55376T601 Symbol: AREIX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

Current income and growth of capital.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in dividend-paying U.S. common stocks and other equity securities. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in dividend-paying equity securities. The Fund may, to a limited extent, purchase convertible and preferred stocks and investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund’s investment advisor will build a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks of mid-size and large companies that have an above-average dividend yield relative to the broad stock market.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor purchases stocks of high-quality companies that have consistently paid dividends. In addition, the Advisor will generally invest in stocks of companies whose securities are attractively valued relative to comparable investments.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

MTB EQUITY INDEX FUND

Cusip: 55376T882 Symbol: ARKEX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

Investment results that correspond to the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500).

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing in substantially all of the securities listed in the S&P 500, which is comprised of 500 selected securities (mostly common stocks). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in equity securities of companies included in the S&P 500. The Fund is managed by utilizing a computer program that identifies which stocks should be purchased or sold in order to replicate, as closely as practicable, the composition of the S&P 500. The Fund will approximate the industry and sector weightings of the S&P 500 by matching the weightings of the stocks included in the S&P 500.

The Fund may, to a limited extent, invest in futures contracts, options, options on futures, and index participation contracts based on the S&P 500. The Fund will invest in these contracts and options to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests, to increase the level of Fund assets devoted to replicating the composition of the S&P 500, and to reduce transaction costs. Although the Fund will not replicate the performance of the S&P 500 precisely, it is anticipated that there will be a close correlation between the Fund’s performance and that of the S&P 500 in both rising and falling markets. The size and timing of cash flows and the level of expenses are the principal factors that contribute to the lack of precise correlation between the S&P 500 and the Fund. The Fund attempts to achieve a 95% or better correlation between the performance of the Fund and that of the S&P 500.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Tracking Error Risk. Due to additional expenses borne by the Fund which are not borne by the Fund’s benchmark index, the Fund may not be able achieve its investment objective of accurately correlating to the S&P 500.

MTB INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND

Cusip: 55376T775 Symbol: MVIEX (Institutional I Shares)

</R>

Goal

<R>

To seek long-term capital appreciation, primarily through a diversified portfolio of non-U.S. equity securities.

</R>

Strategy

<R>

The Fund will invest substantially all, but under normal circumstances, not less than 80% (measured at time of purchase), of the value of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in a diversified portfolio of equity securities in at least eight countries other than the United States. Equity securities include common stocks and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities. Although it may invest anywhere in the world, the Fund invests primarily in the equity markets listed in the Morgan Stanley Capital International European, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index®, the benchmark against which the Fund measures the performance of its portfolio. The Fund may also invest in foreign forward currency contracts to achieve allocation strategies. The investment perspective of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (UBS), sub-advisor for the Fund, is to invest in the equity securities of non-U.S. markets and companies which are believed to be undervalued based upon internal research and proprietary valuation systems. These processes utilized by the Fund’s sub-advisor incorporate internal analysts’ considerations of company management, competitive advantage, and each company’s core competencies to determine a stock’s fundamental value, which is then compared to the stock’s current market price.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

<R>

  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.

</R>

  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

<R>

  • Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign, economic, political or regulatory conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States.
  • Currency Risk. Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency rates and by substantial currency conversion costs.

MTB LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND

Cusip: 55376T742 Symbol: MLGIX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

To provide capital appreciation.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities (primarily common stocks) of large cap companies. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities. The Advisor uses a bottom-up approach to selecting growth-oriented stocks. The Fund seeks to invest in high-quality, well-established large cap companies that:

</R>

  • have a strong history of earnings growth;
  • are attractively priced, relative to the company’s potential for above-average, long-term earnings and revenue growth;
  • have strong balance sheets;
  • have a sustainable competitive advantage; and
  • are currently, or have the potential to become industry leaders.

<R>

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, large cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P 500 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the index. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P 500 Index ranged from $500 million to $367.5 billion. The capitalization range is subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining large cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

</R>

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.

The S&P 500/BG is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of stocks in the S&P 500 having the highest price-to-book ratios. The S&P 500/BG consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 on a market capitalization basis. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark from S&P 500 to S&P 500/BG because it is more reflective of the Fund’s current investment strategy. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the indexes shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index or an average.

</R>

Goal

<R>

Growth of principal.

</R>

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets in equity securities (primarily common stocks) of large cap companies. In selecting investments for the Fund, the advisor uses an investment process consisting of three levels of analysis: trend, quantitative, and qualitative. The advisor identifies trends that are likely to affect sectors, industries, and specific companies and their respective share prices. The advisor uses quantitative analysis to target growth companies that have exhibited both high returns on invested capital and prudent capital management. The advisor then seeks to purchase the stocks of these growth companies at reasonable valuations. The advisor’s quantitative models include factors such as company share repurchase programs, cash flow return on invested capital, and the market value of the firm relative to the capital employed by the firm. The advisor uses qualitative analysis for seeking growing companies in growing markets. Important qualitative attributes include gross profit growth, sustainable competitive advantage, strategic leverage, consistency of execution, and identifiable core competency. In conjunction with these three levels of analysis, the Advisor seeks to purchase stocks of the identified companies at reasonable valuations.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, large cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P 500 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the index. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P 500 Index ranged from $500 million to $367.5 billion. The capitalization range is subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining large cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.

MTB LARGE CAP VALUE FUND

Cusip: 55376T668 Symbol: MLCVX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

To provide capital appreciation. Current income is a secondary, non-fundamental consideration.

Strategy

The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities (primarily common stocks) of large cap U.S. companies. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks, as well as convertible securities. The investment advisor uses a value-oriented approach to select those companies with unrecognized or undervalued assets. Such a value approach seeks companies whose stock prices do not appear to reflect their underlying value as measured by assets, earnings, cash flow, business franchises, or other quantitative or qualitative measurements.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, large cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P 500 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the index. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P 500 Index ranged from $500 million to $367.5 billion. The capitalization range is subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining large cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

MTB MID CAP GROWTH FUND

Cusip: 55376T510 Symbol: ARMEX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

Long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in equity securities of mid cap companies. The Fund’s Advisor chooses stocks of mid cap companies that have significant growth potential. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor purchases securities of companies that have not reached full maturity, but that have above-average sales and earnings growth.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, mid cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index or the Russell Mid Cap Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index ranged from $300 million to $11.46 billion, and the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap Index ranged from $858 million to $14.52 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining mid cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

MTB MID CAP STOCK FUND

Cusip: 55376T478 Symbol: MMCIX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

To provide total return. The Fund’s total return will consist of two components: (1) changes in the market value of its portfolio securities (both realized and unrealized appreciation); and (2) income received from its portfolio securities. The Fund expects that capital appreciation will comprise the largest component of its total return.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund pursues its goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities (primarily common stocks) of mid-cap companies. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities. The Advisor utilizes a blended style of investing by allocating and reallocating, for investment management purposes, varying portions of the portfolio between the Advisor (with respect to growth style portion of the portfolio, where the Advisor looks for companies which have above-average sales and earnings growth) and the Fund’s Sub-Advisor, LSV Asset Management (LSV) (with respect to the value style portion of the portfolio, where LSV looks for companies with relatively low or unrecognized valuations). The Fund’s total return will result mostly from capital appreciation rather than income.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, mid cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index or the Russell Mid Cap Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index ranged from $300 million to $11.46 billion, and the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap Index ranged from $858 million to $14.52 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining mid cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

</R>

MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund commenced operations on October 15, 1999, when it acquired both VISION Growth and Income Fund and VISION Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Acquired Funds”) in a reorganization. In order to comply with comments made by the staff of the SEC, Mid Cap Stock Fund had to become an “accounting survivor” of one of the Acquired Funds, despite the differences in the investment objective, strategies, policies and expenses of the Acquired Funds, and the fact that Mid Cap Stock Fund’s sub-advisor never managed, or provided any investment advice to, the Acquired Funds. Accordingly, the following financial and performance information presented for Mid Cap Stock Fund in reality reflects the historical operations of VISION Growth and Income Fund for all periods prior to October 15, 1999. This past performance does not necessarily predict future performance of Mid Cap Stock Fund and should be evaluated in light of the Fund’s organization and the differences noted above.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.
  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

MTB MULTI CAP GROWTH FUND

Cusip: 55376T379 Symbol: ARCGX (Institutional I Shares)

</R>

Goal

Long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund seeks its investment goal by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of its assets in common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks of companies within a broad range of market capitalizations. The Fund’s Advisor will shift the emphasis among companies within the capitalization range according to changes in economic conditions, stock market fundamentals and other pertinent factors. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Advisor considers each company’s current financial strength, as well as its revenue and earnings growth and the valuation of its stock. In doing so, the Fund’s Advisor will seek to build a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks with above-average capital growth potential.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, multi cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the index. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 3000 Index ranged from $68 million to $367.45 billion. The capitalization range is subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining multi cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Stock Market Risks. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
  • Risk Related to Investing for Growth. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.
  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

The following table represents the Fund’s Institutional I Shares Average Annual Total Returns, for the calendar periods ended December 31, 2004. Return Before Taxes is shown. In addition, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s Institutional I Shares to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. The table also shows returns for the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 3000 Growth Index, broad-based market indexes, and the Lipper Multi Cap Growth Funds Average. The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 3000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization. The Fund’s Advisor has elected to change the benchmark index from Russell 2000 Growth Index to Russell 3000 Growth Index because it is more reflective of the Fund’s current investment strategy. The Lipper Multi Cap Growth Funds Average is a composite of mutual funds, designated by Lipper, Inc., with goals similar to the Fund’s goals. Total returns for the indexes shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

MTB SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

Cusip: 55376T148 Symbol: ARPEX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

Long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy

The Fund’s Advisor purchases stocks of smaller companies that are in the early stages of development and which the Advisor believes have the potential to achieve substantial long-term earnings growth. Under normal circumstances the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in equity securities of smaller companies. The Fund may also invest a limited percentage of its assets in foreign securities and fixed income securities. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Advisor purchases securities of small-cap U.S. companies with strong earnings growth potential. The Advisor may also purchase stocks of companies that are experiencing unusual, non-repetitive “special” situations (such as mergers or spin-offs) or that have valuable fixed assets whose value is not fully reflected in a stock’s price.

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, small cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P 600 Index or the Russell 2000 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index ranged from $40 million to $4.38 billion, and the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000 Index ranged from $68 million to $3.16 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining small cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:

  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.
  • Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign, economic, political or regulatory conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States.

MTB SMALL CAP STOCK FUND

Cusip: 55376T114 Symbol: MSCIX (Institutional I Shares)

Goal

To seek growth of capital.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund will invest substantially all, but under normal circumstances not less than 80% of the value of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities (primarily common stock) of small cap companies. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities. Stocks purchased by the Fund generally will be traded on established U.S. markets and exchanges. The Advisor utilizes a blended style of investing by allocating and reallocating, for investment management purposes, varying portions of the portfolio between the Fund’s sub-advisors, LSV Asset Management (LSV) (with respect to the value style portion of the portfolio, where LSV looks for companies with relatively low or unrecognized valuations) and Mazama Capital Management, Inc. (Mazama) (with respect to the growth style portion of the portfolio, where Mazama looks for companies which have above-average sales earnings growth).

For the purposes of the 80% limitation, small cap companies will be defined as companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index or the Russell 2000 Index. The definition will be applied at the time of initial investment, and the Fund will not be required to sell (or be precluded from adding to) a pre-existing investment because a company’s market capitalization has grown or reduced outside the market capitalization range of the indexes. As of June 30, 2005, the market capitalization of companies in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index ranged from $40 million to $4.38 billion, and the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000 Index ranged from $68 million to $3.16 billion. The capitalization ranges are subject to frequent change, and thus the applicable range of market capitalizations defining small cap companies at time of purchase will likely differ from the range at June 30, 2005.

  • Risks Related to Investing for Value. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
  • Risk Related to Company Size. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Principal Securities of the Funds

The following list is a description of the principal securities in which the Funds may invest. More information on the principal and acceptable investments of the Funds is contained in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.

Equity Securities

Equity securities (stocks) represent a share of an issuer’s earnings and assets, after the issuer pays its liabilities. A Fund cannot predict the income it will receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because their value increases directly with the value of the issuer’s business. The following describes the principal types of equity securities in which certain Funds may invest.

Common Stocks

Common stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security. Common stocks receive the issuer’s earnings after the issuer pays its creditors and any preferred stockholders. As a result, changes in an issuer’s earnings directly influence the value of its common stock.

Preferred Stocks

Preferred stocks have the right to receive specified dividends or distributions before the issuer makes payments on its common stock. Some preferred stocks also participate in dividends and distributions paid on common stock.

Preferred stocks may also permit the issuer to redeem the stock. A Fund may also treat such redeemable preferred stock as a fixed income security.

Fixed Income Securities

Fixed income securities (bonds) pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with the issuer’s earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed income securities as compared to equity securities.

A security’s yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a percentage of its price. A security’s yield will increase or decrease depending upon whether it costs less (a discount) or more (a premium) than the principal amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the price and yield on a discount or premium security may change based upon the probability of an early redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have higher yields.

The following describes the principal types of fixed income securities in which a Fund may invest.

Treasury Securities

Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the lowest credit risks.

Agency Securities

Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government sponsored entity (GSE) acting under federal authority. Some GSE securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. These include the Government National Mortgage Association, Small Business Administration, Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation, Farmer’s Home Administration, Federal Financing Bank, General Services Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Export-Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Bonds.

Other GSE securities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. For example, the U.S. Treasury is authorized to purchase specified amounts of securities issued by (or otherwise make funds available to) the Federal Home Loan Bank System, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, Student Loan Marketing Association, and Tennessee Valley Authority in support of such obligations.

A few GSE securities have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. These include the Farm Credit System, Financing Corporation, and Resolution Funding Corporation.

Investors regard agency securities as having low credit risks, but not as low as Treasury securities.

A Fund treats mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by a GSE as if issued or guaranteed by a federal agency. Although such a guarantee protects against credit risks, it does not reduce market and prepayment risks.

Corporate Debt Securities

Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities. A Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

In addition, the credit risk of an issuer’s debt security may vary based on its priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt securities have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated) securities. This means that the issuer might not make payments on subordinated securities while continuing to make payments on senior securities. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy, holders of senior securities may receive amounts otherwise payable to the holders of subordinated securities. Some subordinated securities, such as trust preferred and capital securities notes, also permit the issuer to defer payments under certain circumstances. For example, insurance companies issue securities known as surplus notes that permit the insurance company to defer any payment that would reduce its capital below regulatory requirements.

Mortgage Backed Securities

Mortgage backed securities represent interests in pools of mortgages. The mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates, maturities and other terms. Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest rates. Interests in pools of adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.

Mortgage backed securities come in a variety of forms. Many have extremely complicated terms. The simplest form of mortgage backed securities are pass-through certificates. An issuer of pass-through certificates gathers monthly payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. Then, the issuer deducts its fees and expenses and passes the balance of the payments on to the certificate holders once a month. Holders of pass-through certificates receive a pro rata share of all payments and prepayments from the underlying mortgages. As a result, the holders assume all the prepayment risks of the underlying mortgages.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)

CMOs, including interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs), allocate payments and prepayments from an underlying pass-through certificate among holders of different classes of mortgage-backed securities. This creates different prepayment and interest rate risks for each CMO class.

Asset Backed Securities

Asset backed securities are payable from pools of obligations other than mortgages. Most asset backed securities involve consumer or commercial debts with maturities of less than ten years. However, almost any type of fixed income assets (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create an asset backed security. Asset backed securities may take the form of commercial paper, notes, or pass-through certificates. Asset backed securities have prepayment risks.

Zero Coupon Securities

Zero coupon securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity unlike debt securities that provide periodic payments of interest (referred to as a coupon payment). Investors buy zero coupon securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the amount paid at maturity represents interest on the zero coupon security. Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which increases the interest rate and credit risks of a zero coupon security.

Bank Instruments

Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with banks. Bank instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of deposit and banker’s acceptances. Yankee instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S. branches of foreign banks. Eurodollar instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks.

Commercial Paper

Commercial paper is an issuer’s obligation with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer cannot continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper may default. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and credit risks as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.

Credit Enhancement

Credit enhancement consists of an arrangement in which a company agrees to pay amounts due on a fixed income security if the issuer defaults. In some cases the company providing credit enhancement makes all payments directly to the security holders and receives reimbursement from the issuer. Normally, the credit enhancer has greater financial resources and liquidity than the issuer. For this reason, the Advisor usually evaluates the credit risk of a fixed income security based solely upon its credit enhancement.

Convertible Securities

Convertible securities are fixed income securities that a Fund has the option to exchange for equity securities at a specified conversion price. The option allows a Fund to realize additional returns if the market price of the equity securities exceeds the conversion price. For example, a Fund may hold fixed income securities that are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $10 per share. If the market value of the shares of common stock reached $12, a Fund could realize an additional $2 per share by converting its fixed income securities.

Convertible securities have lower yields than comparable fixed income securities. In addition, at the time a convertible security is issued the conversion price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities. Thus, convertible securities may provide lower returns than non-convertible fixed income securities or equity securities depending upon changes in the price of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible securities permit a Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the underlying equity securities with less risk of losing its initial investment. A Fund may invest in convertible securities rated below investment grade. See “Risks Associated with Non-Investment Grade Securities” herein.

International Equity Fund, Small Cap Stock Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund, Multi Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund and Equity Income Fund treat convertible securities as both fixed income and equity securities for purposes of its investment policies and limitations, because of their unique characteristics.

Municipal Securities

<R>

Municipal securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not subject to regular federal income taxes. Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax exempt securities. The market categorizes tax-exempt securities by their source of repayment.

</R>

Tax-Exempt Securities

Tax-exempt securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not subject to regular federal income taxes. Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax-exempt securities. The market categorizes tax-exempt securities by their source of repayment. Interest income on such securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for individuals and corporations.

General Obligation Bonds

General obligation bonds are supported by the issuer’s power to exact property or other taxes. The issuer must impose and collect taxes sufficient to pay principal and interest on the bonds. However, the issuer’s authority to impose additional taxes may be limited by its charter or state law.

Special Revenue Bonds

Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific revenues received by the issuer such as specific taxes, assessments, tolls, or fees. Bondholders may not collect from the municipality’s general taxes or revenues. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to build a toll road, and pledge the tolls to repay the bonds. Therefore, a shortfall in the tolls normally would result in a default on the bonds.

Tax Increment Financing Bonds

Tax increment financing (TIF) bonds are payable from increases in taxes or other revenues attributable to projects financed by the bonds. For example, a municipality may issue TIF bonds to redevelop a commercial area. The TIF bonds would be payable solely from any increase in sales taxes collected from merchants in the area. The bonds could default if merchants’ sales, and related tax collections, failed to increase as anticipated.

Municipal Notes

Municipal notes are short-term tax-exempt securities. Many municipalities issue such notes to fund their current operations before collecting taxes or other municipal revenues. Municipalities may also issue notes to fund capital projects prior to issuing long-term bonds. The issuers typically repay the notes at the end of their fiscal year, either with taxes, other revenues or proceeds from newly issued notes or bonds.

Variable Rate Demand Instruments

Variable rate demand instruments are tax-exempt securities that require the issuer or a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The securities also pay interest at a variable rate intended to cause the securities to trade at their face value. A Fund treats demand instruments as short-term securities, because their variable interest rate adjusts in response to changes in market rates, even though their stated maturity may extend beyond thirteen months.

Foreign Securities

Foreign securities are securities of issuers based outside the United States. An issuer is considered to be based outside the United States if:

  • it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office located in, another country;
  • the principal trading market for its securities is in another country; or
  • it (or its subsidiaries) derived in its most current fiscal year at least 50% of its total assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit from goods produced, services performed, or sales made in another country.

Foreign securities are primarily denominated in foreign currencies. Along with the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same type, foreign securities are subject to currency risks and risks of foreign investing. Trading in certain foreign markets is also subject to liquidity risks.

Depositary Receipts

Depositary receipts represent interests in underlying securities issued by a foreign company. Depositary receipts are not traded in the same market as the underlying security. The foreign securities underlying American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are traded outside the United States. ADRs provide a way to buy shares of foreign-based companies in the United States rather than in overseas markets. ADRs are also traded in U.S. dollars, eliminating the need for foreign exchange transactions. The foreign securities underlying European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and International Depositary Receipts (IDRs), are traded globally or outside the United States. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks of investing directly in foreign securities, including currency risks and risks of foreign investing.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

In order to convert U.S. dollars into the currency needed to buy a foreign security, or to convert foreign currency received from the sale of a foreign security into U.S. dollars, the International Equity Fund (an Underlying Fund) may enter into spot currency trades. In a spot trade, the Fund agrees to exchange one currency for another at the current exchange rate. The Fund may also enter into derivative contracts in which a foreign currency is an underlying asset. The exchange rate for currency derivative contracts may be higher or lower than the spot exchange rate. Use of these derivative contracts may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to currency risks.

Foreign Government Securities

Foreign government securities generally consist of fixed income securities supported by national, state or provincial governments or similar political subdivisions. Foreign government securities also include debt obligations of supranational entities, such as international organizations designed or supported by governmental entities to promote economic reconstruction or development, international banking institutions and related government agencies. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), the Asian Development Bank, the European Investment Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank.

Foreign government securities also include fixed income securities of quasi-governmental agencies that are either issued by entities owned by a national, state or equivalent government or are obligations of a political unit that are not backed by the national government’s full faith and credit. Further, foreign government securities include mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by national, state or provincial governmental instrumentalities, including quasi-governmental agencies.

Derivative Contracts

Derivative contracts are financial instruments that require payments based upon changes in the values of designated (or underlying) securities, currencies, commodities, financial indices or other assets. Some derivative contracts (such as futures, forwards and options) require payments relating to a future trade involving the underlying asset. Other derivative contracts (such as swaps) require payments relating to the income or returns from the underlying asset. The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.

Many derivative contracts are traded on securities or commodities exchanges. In this case, the exchange sets all the terms of the contract except for the price. Investors make payments due under their contracts through the exchange. Most exchanges require investors to maintain margin accounts through their brokers to cover their potential obligations to the exchange. Parties to the contract make (or collect) daily payments to the margin accounts to reflect losses (or gains) in the value of their contracts. This protects investors against potential defaults by the counterpar-ty. Trading contracts on an exchange also allows investors to close out their contracts by entering into offsetting contracts.

For example, International Equity Fund could close out an open contract to buy an asset at a future date by entering into an offsetting contract to sell the same asset on the same date. If the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the Fund realizes a loss. Exchanges may limit the amount of open contracts permitted at any one time. Such limits may prevent the Fund from closing out a position. If this happens, the Fund will be required to keep the contract open (even if it is losing money on the contract), and to make any payments required under the contract (even if it has to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices to do so). Inability to close out a contract could also harm the Fund by preventing it from disposing of or trading any assets it has been using to secure its obligations under the contract.

International Equity Fund may also trade derivative contracts over-the-counter (OTC) in transactions negotiated directly between the Fund and the counterparty. OTC contracts do not necessarily have standard terms, so they cannot be directly offset with other OTC contracts. In addition, OTC contracts with more specialized terms may be more difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.

Depending upon how the Fund uses derivative contracts and the relationships between the market value of a derivative contract and the underlying asset, derivative contracts may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to interest rate and currency risks, and may also expose the Fund to liquidity and leverage risks. OTC contracts also expose the Fund to credit risks in the event that a counterparty defaults on the contract.

International Equity Fund may trade in the following types of derivative contracts.

Futures Contracts

Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price, date, and time. Entering into a contract to buy an underlying asset is commonly referred to as buying a contract or holding a long position in the asset. Entering into a contract to sell an underlying asset is commonly referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position in the asset. Futures contracts are considered to be commodity contracts. Futures contracts traded OTC are frequently referred to as forward contracts.

Special Transactions

Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting a Fund’s return on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest rate on the underlying security. A Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Advisor.

A Fund’s custodian will take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements. The Advisor will monitor the value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.

Non-Investment Grade Securities

Securities rated BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s or Ba or lower by Moody’s are considered to be non-investment grade securities (junk bonds).

Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies

A Fund may invest their assets in securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the securities of affiliated funds, as an efficient means of carrying out their investment policies and managing their uninvested cash.

The shares of most ETFs are listed and traded on stock exchanges at market prices, although some Shares may be redeemable at net asset value for cash or securities. A Fund may invest in ETFs in order to achieve exposure to a specific region, country or market sector, or for other reasons consistent with its investment strategy. As with traditional mutual funds, ETFs charge asset-based fees, although these fees tend to be relatively low. ETFs generally do not charge initial sales charges or redemption fees but investors pay customary brokerage commissions and fees to buy and sell ETF shares.

<R>

Pursuant to an SEC exemptive order, each of the Funds are permitted to invest in shares of the MTB Money Market Funds as a means of managing their uninvested cash. These investments will cause a duplication of expenses. The Advisor may waive certain fees in connection with these investments.

</R>

Other Investment Strategies

Portfolio Turnover (Stock and Bond Funds only)

Each Fund may actively trade its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective. Active trading will cause a Fund to have an increased portfolio turnover rate, which is likely to generate shorter-term gains (losses) for its shareholders, which are taxed at a higher rate than longer-term gains (losses). Actively trading portfolio securities increases a Fund’s trading costs and may have an adverse impact on a Fund’s performance.

Temporary Defensive Investments

The Funds (except the Money Market Funds and the Equity Index Fund) may temporarily depart from their principal investment strategies by investing their assets in cash and shorter-term debt securities and similar obligations. They may do this to minimize potential losses and maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market conditions. This may cause a Fund to fail to meet its investment objective and to give up greater investment returns to maintain the safety of principal, that is, the original amount invested by shareholders. Interest income from temporary investments may be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

Investment Ratings for Investment Grade Securities

The Advisor or sub-advisor will determine whether a security is investment grade based upon the credit ratings given by one or more nationally recognized rating services. For example, Standard and Poor’s, a rating service, assigns ratings to investment grade securities (AAA, AA, A, and BBB) based on their assessment of the likelihood of the issuer’s inability to pay interest or principal (default) when due on each security. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon the Advisor’s or sub-advisor’s credit assessment that the security is comparable to investment grade.

Specific Risks of Investing in the Funds

Stock Market Risks

The value of equity securities in a Fund’s portfolio will rise and fall. These fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. A Fund’s portfolio will reflect changes in prices of individual portfolio stocks or general changes in stock valuations. Consequently, a Fund’s share price may decline.

The Advisor or sub-advisor attempts to manage market risk by limiting the amount a Fund invests in each company’s equity securities. However, diversification will not protect a Fund against widespread or prolonged declines in the stock market.

Risks Related to Investing For Growth

Due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more volatile than value stocks. For instance, the price of a growth stock may experience a larger decline on a forecast of lower earnings, a negative fundamental development, or an adverse market development. Further, growth stocks may not pay dividends or may pay lower dividends than value stocks. This means they depend more on price changes for returns and may be more adversely affected in a down market compared to value stocks that pay higher dividends.

Risks Related To Investing For Value

Due to their relatively low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. For instance, the price of a value stock may experience a smaller increase on a forecast of higher earnings, a positive fundamental development, or positive market development. Furthermore, value stocks tend to have higher dividends than growth stocks. This means they depend less on price changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

Risks Related To Company Size

Generally, the smaller the market capitalization of a company, the fewer the number of shares traded daily, the less liquid its stock and the more volatile its price. For example, medium capitalization stocks may be less liquid and more volatile than stocks of larger, well-known companies. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the number of its outstanding shares by the current market price per share.

Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. These factors also increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than companies with larger market capitalizations.

Interest Rate Risks

Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the demand for particular fixed income securities, may cause the price of certain fixed income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or remain unchanged.

Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income securities with longer durations. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to changes in interest rates.

Credit Risks

Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, a Fund will lose money.

Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from services such as Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. These services assign ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon the Advisor’s credit assessment.

Fixed income securities generally compensate for greater credit risk by paying interest at a higher rate. The difference between the yield of a security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity (the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may increase generally in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A security’s spread may also increase if the security’s rating is lowered, or the security is perceived to have an increased credit risk. An increase in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.

Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving a Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause a Fund to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent a Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.

Call Risks

Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a fixed income security before maturity (a call) at a price below its current market price. An increase in the likelihood of a call may reduce the security’s price.

If a fixed income security is called, a Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in other fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher credit risks, or other less favorable characteristics.

Prepayment Risks

Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time without penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance high interest rate mortgages when mortgage rates fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage backed securities with higher interest rates.

Conversely, prepayments due to refinancings decrease when mortgage rates increase. This extends the life of mortgage backed securities with lower interest rates. Other economic factors can also lead to increases or decreases in prepayments. Increases in prepayments of high interest rate mortgage backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of lower interest rate mortgage backed securities, may reduce their yield and price. These factors, particularly the relationship between interest rates and mortgage prepayments makes the price of mortgage backed securities more volatile than many other types of fixed income securities with comparable credit risks.

Mortgage backed securities generally compensate for greater prepayment risk by paying a higher yield. The difference between the yield of a mortgage backed security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity (the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may increase generally in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A security’s spread may also increase if the security is perceived to have an increased prepayment risk or perceived to have less market demand. An increase in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.

A Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds of mortgage prepayments in other fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher prepayment risks, or other less favorable characteristics.

Tax Risks

In order to be tax-exempt, municipal securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund to their shareholders to be taxable.

Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of municipal securities to fall.

Income from Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund may be subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). However, Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund are required to limit to 20% that part of their income that would be subject to AMT.

Risks of Non-Diversification

Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund, New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund, and Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund are non-diversified. Compared to diversified mutual funds, each of these Funds may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities. This increases a Fund’s risk by magnifying the impact (positively or negatively) that any one issuer has on a Fund’s Share price and performance.

Risks Associated With Non-Investment Grade Securities

The securities in which a Fund may invest may be rated below investment grade. Securities rated below investment grade may be subject to the same risks as those inherent in corporate debt obligations that are rated below investment grade, also known as junk bonds. Junk bonds generally entail greater market, credit and liquidity risks than investment grade securities. For example, their prices are more volatile, economic downturns and financial setbacks may affect their prices more negatively, and their trading market may be more limited.

Maryland Investment Risks

Maryland Municipal Bond Fund emphasizes investments in Maryland and is more subject to events that may adversely affect Maryland issuers compared to funds that invest in multiple states.

Maryland’s economy is relatively diversified across the service, trade and government sectors. The high proportion of federal government jobs, which contributes to high wealth levels, made the state vulnerable to the recession and concurrent federal downsizing in the early 1990’s; however, Maryland’s economic growth rate has improved and is nearing the national average.

New York Investment Risks

New York Municipal Bond Fund and New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund emphasize investments in New York and are subject to events that may adversely affect New York issuers compared to funds that invest in multiple states. New York’s economy is large and diverse. While several upstate counties benefit from agriculture, manufacturing and high technology industries, New York City nonetheless still dominates the State’s economy through its international importance in economic sectors such as advertising, finance, and banking. Any major changes to the financial conditions of New York City would ultimately have an effect on the State. Yields on New York municipal securities depend on a variety of factors, including: the general conditions of the short-term municipal note market and the municipal bond market; the size of the particular offering; the maturity of the obligations; and the rating of the issue. Further, any adverse economic conditions or developments affecting the State, counties, municipalities or City of New York could impact New York Municipal Bond Fund or New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund’s portfolio. The ability of these Funds to achieve their investment goals also depends on the continuing ability of the issuers of New York municipal securities and participation interests, or the guarantors of either, to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due.

Additionally, the tragic events of September 11, 2001 may have adverse short-term or long-term economic effects on New York City.

Pennsylvania Investment Risks

Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund emphasize investments in Pennsylvania and are more subject to events that may adversely affect Pennsylvania issuers.

Pennsylvania’s economy historically has been dependent upon heavy industry, but has diversified recently into various services, particularly into medical and health services, education and financial services. Agricultural industries continue to be an important part of the economy, including not only the production of diversified food and livestock products, but substantial economic activity in agribusiness and food-related industries. Service industries currently employ the greatest share of nonagricultural workers, followed by the categories of trade and manufacturing. Future economic difficulties in any of these industries could have an adverse impact on the finances of the Commonwealth or its municipalities, and could adversely affect the market value of the Pennsylvania exempt securities in the Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund or the ability of the respective obligors to make payments of interest and principal due on such Securities.

Risks of Foreign Investing

Foreign securities pose additional risks because foreign economic or political conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States. Securities in foreign markets may also be subject to taxation policies that reduce returns for U.S. investors.

Foreign companies may not provide information (including financial statements) as frequently or to as great an extent as companies in the United States. Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than United States companies by market analysts and the financial press. In addition, foreign countries may lack uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or regulatory requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. These factors may prevent International Equity Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund and its Advisor and sub-advisor from obtaining information concerning foreign companies that is as frequent, extensive and reliable as the information available concerning companies in the United States.

Foreign countries may have restrictions on foreign ownership of securities or may impose exchange controls, capital flow restrictions or repatriation restrictions which could adversely affect the liquidity of a Fund’s investments.

Currency Risks

Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. The combination of currency risk and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile than securities traded exclusively in the U.S.

<R>

Tracking Error Risk

</R>

Factors such as the Equity Index Fund’s expenses, imperfect correlation between the fund’s investments and those of its benchmarks, rounding of share prices, changes to the benchmark, regulatory policies, and leverage may affect its ability to achieve perfect correlation with its benchmarks. The magnitude of any tracking error may be affected by a higher portfolio turnover rate. Because an index is just a composite of the prices of the securities it represents rather than an actual portfolio of those securities, an index will have no expenses. As a result, Equity Index Fund, which will have expenses such as custody, management fees and other operational costs, and brokerage expenses, may not achieve its investment objective of accurately correlating to an index.

Asset Allocation Risk

<R>

The Balanced Fund is subject to the risk that the Advisor’s asset allocation decisions between equity securities, on the one hand, and fixed income securities, on the other hand, will not anticipate market trends successfully. For example, investing too heavily in common stocks during a stock market decline may result in a failure to preserve capital. Conversely, investing too heavily in fixed income securities during a period of stock market appreciation may result in lower total returns.

</R>

Exchange-Traded Funds

An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange-traded) that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate up or down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional funds: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade above or below their net asset value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (iii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.

How are Shares Priced?

The Trust offers seven classes of Shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares and Institutional II Shares. All Share classes have different sales charges and other expenses, which affect their performance, and which an investor bears directly or indirectly as a shareholder. Each Share class represents interests in a single portfolio of securities. This prospectus relates only to Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares, Institutional II Shares and Class S Shares as shown in the chart below. These Share classes are not subject to a front-end or contingent deferred sales charge. Contact your financial intermediary or call the MTB Group of Funds (MTB Funds) at 800-836-2211 for more information about Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares.

</R>

Each Money Market Fund attempts to stabilize the net asset value (NAV) of its Shares at $1.00 by valuing its portfolio securities using the amortized cost method. The Money Market Funds cannot guarantee that their NAV will always remain at $1.00 per Share. As noted below, the Money Market Funds’ NAV is calculated twice each day that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Federal Reserve Board is open for business.

The NAV of Shares of the Bond, Balanced, and Stock Funds fluctuates and is generally based upon the market value of portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund. The NAV is determined at the end of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which is generally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) but may vary due to market circumstances or other reasons (NYSE Close) on each day the NYSE is open. Equity securities are generally valued according to the last sale price in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter (OTC) market). Fixed income securities are generally valued according to the mean between bid and asked prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost. Futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the OTC market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value.

<R>

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the NYSE Close. In computing its NAV, the Fund valued foreign securities at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the NYSE Close. Certain foreign currency exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the NYSE Close. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the NYSE Close. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board, although the actual calculation may be done by others. If a Fund owns foreign securities that trade in foreign markets on days the NYSE is closed, or if the NYSE closes earlier than 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, the value of these securities, and therefore the Fund’s assets, may change on days or at times you cannot purchase, redeem or exchange Shares of such Fund. In all cases, the Funds’ Board may determine in good faith that another method of valuing investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value.

</R>

The following table shows at what times the Funds calculate their NAV:

FUND       NAV CALCULATED (EASTERN TIME)

U.S. Treasury Money Market    
U.S. Government Money Market   3:00 p.m. and
Money Market   NYSE Close
Prime Money Market    

New York Tax-Free Money Market    
Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market   11:00 a.m. and
Tax-Free Money Market   NYSE Close

All Other Funds   NYSE Close

The Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Fund’s Advisor determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a dealer or independent pricing service is inaccurate.

Fair valuation procedures are also used when a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which is when the Fund’s NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Significant events include significant general securities market movements occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For domestic fixed income securities, such events may occur where the cut-off time for the market information used by the independent pricing service is earlier than the end of regular trading on the NYSE. For securities normally priced at their last sale price in a foreign market, such events can occur between the close of trading in the foreign market and the close of trading on the NYSE. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time when the NAV is calculated.

In some cases, events affecting the issuer of a portfolio security may be considered significant events. Examples of potentially significant events include announcements concerning earnings, acquisitions, new products, management changes, litigation developments, a strike or natural disaster affecting the company’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities of foreign issuers, such events could also include political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which the issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded.

The Funds’ Board has authorized the use of an independent fair valuation service to monitor changes in a designated U.S. market index after foreign markets close, and to implement a fair valuation methodology to adjust the closing prices of foreign securities if the movement in the index is significant.

There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In the case of fair valued portfolio securities, lack of information and uncertainty as to the significance of information may lead to a conclusion that a prior valuation is the best indication of a portfolio security’s present value. Fair valuations generally remain unchanged until new information becomes available. Consequently, changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations. Fair valuation determinations often involve the consideration of a number of subjective factors, and the fair value price may be higher or lower than a readily available market quotation.

To the extent any fund invests in other investment companies, the prospectuses for those companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

How to Purchase, Redeem, and Exchange Shares

For information about investing in Class S Shares of the Funds, please see “Information About Sweep Accounts” in this prospectus.

When the NYSE is open for business, you may purchase, redeem, or exchange Shares by phone, mail, or wire through your financial intermediary or MTB Funds. Subject to daily cutoff times, your order will be processed at the next calculated NAV after your order request is received by the Fund or its designated agent in proper form. The NYSE is closed on weekends and on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Purchases and redemptions by wire will not be available on days the Federal Reserve wire system is closed. In addition to the scheduled NYSE holidays noted above, the Federal Reserve wire system is scheduled to be closed on the following days: Columbus Day and Veterans’ Day. The Funds do not issue share certificates and they reserve the right to reject any purchase request for any reason.

Through Your Financial Intermediary

Shareholders normally purchase Shares through investment professionals and different types of customer accounts at financial intermediaries. You should read this prospectus together with any agreements between you and your financial intermediary to learn about procedures to follow, the services provided, the fees charged for those services, required earlier cutoff times than shown in this prospectus, and any restrictions and limitations imposed.

By Phone
MTB Funds 800-836-2211

The Funds reserve the right to modify or terminate the phone redemption and exchange privileges at any time. Shareholders will be notified prior to any modification or termination. Your phone instructions may be electronically recorded for your protection. Shareholders who purchase shares by phone or accept the phone redemption or exchange privilege authorize the Trust and its agents to act upon their telephonic instructions for any account for which they have authorized such services. Placing transactions over the phone is convenient, but not without risk. Although the Funds have created certain safeguards and procedures to confirm the identity of callers and the authenticity of instructions, the Funds are not responsible for any losses or costs incurred by following telephonic instructions we reasonably believe to be genuine. If you transact with the Fund over the phone, you will generally bear the risk of any loss.

</R>

* The required minimum subsequent investment amount is $150,000 within six months.

  • The minimum initial and subsequent investment amounts may be waived or lowered from time to time. An investor’s minimum investment will be calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the Funds provided the investor identifies its other Fund accounts at the time of investment.
  • Employees of M&T Bank and its affiliates are exempt from the minimums stated above.

Accounts with Low Balances

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, non-retirement accounts may be closed if redemptions or exchanges cause the account balance to fall below $250 (for Class S Shares, this is subject to the status of the Sweep Account). Before an account is closed, you will be notified and allowed 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum account balance required.

Payment Methods

Payment may be made by check, Federal Reserve System wire, or Automated Clearing House (ACH). Where a Fund offers more than one Share class and you do not specify the class choice on your form of payment, you automatically will receive Class A Shares. Each payment must be accompanied by your name, the Fund’s name and Share class, and your account number (if established).

By Check

Make your check payable to (Name of the Fund and Class of Shares) and mail it to MTB Funds along with your application. Current shareholders can purchase additional Shares by sending a check to MTB Funds accompanied by purchase instructions.

<R>

Purchase orders by mail for non-Money Market Funds are considered received after payment by check has been converted into federal funds. This is normally the next business day after the check is received. However, payment may be delayed up to seven business days to allow your purchase payment to clear. Purchase orders by mail for Money Market Funds begin earning dividends on the day after the check is converted into federal funds.

</R>

The Funds do not accept cash, money orders, credit cards, travelers checks, counter checks, or third party checks (for example, checks made payable to a third party and endorsed over to MTB Funds or checks made payable to the MTB Funds by a party other than the shareholder of record).

By Federal Reserve System Wire

Once your account is established, ask your bank to wire money to the Fund’s custodian bank, accompanied by purchase instructions. For additional purchases, wire your money with instructions. Wire orders will only be accepted on days on which the Funds, M&T Bank, and the Federal Reserve wire system are open for business. Some financial institutions may charge a fee for wire services. The Funds also reserve the right to charge a processing fee for wire transfers. Below is a chart that shows the different cutoff times for processing Fund purchases and what it means to you. The Funds are not responsible for delays in the receipt of wires.

You may have redemption proceeds sent directly to your checking or NOW deposit account via ACH transfer from the Fund. If you place your order by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time), you will receive that day’s closing NAV and any dividends earned that day. Since ACH transfers are processed overnight, you will not receive redemption proceeds until the second business day.

Systematic Withdrawal Program

You may automatically redeem Shares in a minimum amount of $50 on a regular basis. Your account must be worth at least $10,000 at the time the program is established. This program may reduce, and eventually deplete, your account. Payments should not be considered yield or income. For more information and an application form for this program call MTB Funds.

Additional Conditions

Signature Guarantees

You must have a signature guarantee (Stamp 2000 Medallion Guarantee) on written redemption requests:

  • when you are requesting a redemption of $50,000 or more;
  • when you want a redemption to be sent to an address other than the one you have on record with the Fund; or
  • when you want the redemption payable to someone other than the shareholder of record.

Your signature can be guaranteed by any federally insured financial institution (such as a bank or credit union) or a broker-dealer that is a domestic stock exchange member, but not by a notary public.

Limitations on Redemption Proceeds

Redemption proceeds are normally transmitted within one business day (or sooner, as described under “Payment Options”) after receiving a request in proper form. However, payment may be delayed up to seven days:

  • to allow your purchase payment to clear;
  • during periods of market volatility; or
  • when a shareholder’s trade activity or amount adversely impacts a Fund’s ability to manage its assets.

Redemption In Kind

Although the Funds intend to pay Share redemptions in cash, each Fund reserves the right to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

Redemption From Retirement Accounts

In the absence of your specific instructions, 10% of the value of your redemption from a retirement account in a Fund may be withheld for taxes. This withholding only applies to certain types of retirement accounts.

Exchanging Shares

You may exchange Shares of a Fund for the same Share class of another MTB Fund. All exchange requests must include your name and account number, the Fund’s name and Share class, the number of shares or dollar amount you wish to exchange and the name of the Fund into which the exchange is to be made.

In order to exchange Shares you must submit your request in proper form and:

  • meet the minimum initial investment requirements (if the exchange results in the establishment of a new account);
  • establish an account in the Fund you want to acquire if you do not have an account in that Fund;
  • ensure that the account registrations are identical;
  • receive a prospectus for the Fund into which you wish to exchange; and
  • only exchange into a Fund that may be legally sold in your state of residence.

An exchange is treated as a redemption and subsequent purchase and is a taxable transaction. The Funds may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time, and shareholders will be notified prior to any modification or termination.

By Phone

To request an exchange, and for additional information about the exchange privilege, call MTB Funds. Below is a chart that shows the cutoff times for processing Fund exchanges and what it means to you.

Frequent Trading Policies

Fluctuating Funds. Frequent or short-term trading into and out of a Fund can have adverse consequences for the Fund and shareholders who use the Fund as a long-term investment vehicle. Such trading in significant amounts can disrupt the Fund’s investment strategies (e.g., by requiring it to sell investments at inopportune times or maintain excessive short-term or cash positions to support redemptions), increase brokerage and administrative costs, and affect the timing and amount of taxable gains distributed by the Fund. Investors engaged in such trading may also seek to profit by anticipating changes in the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time as of which NAV is calculated or through an overall strategy to buy and sell Shares in response to incremental changes in the Fund’s NAV.

The Funds’ Board has approved policies and procedures intended to discourage excessive, frequent or short-term trading of the Funds’ Shares. The Funds’ fair valuation procedures are intended in part to discourage short-term trading strategies by reducing the potential for these strategies to succeed. See “How are Shares Priced?” The Funds also monitor trading in Shares in an effort to identify disruptive trading activity. The Funds monitor trades into and out of the Funds within a period of 30 days or less, where both the purchase and sale are at least $100,000. The Funds may also monitor trades into and out of the Funds over periods longer than 30 days. Whether or not the specific monitoring limits are exceeded, the Funds’ management or Adviser may determine from the amount, frequency or pattern of purchases and redemptions or exchanges that a shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is or could be detrimental to the Funds and other shareholders and may preclude the shareholder from making further purchases or exchanges of Shares. The Funds’ management and Adviser may also take action to suspend further trading by a financial intermediary if it is deemed to be engaged in excessive trading and/or does not cooperate satisfactorily with requests for details about trading activity. No matter how the Funds define their limits on frequent trading of Shares, other purchases and sales of Shares may have adverse effects on the management of a Fund’s portfolio and its performance. Also, it is possible that frequent trading may occur in the Funds without being identified because certain investors may seek to hide their identity or trading activity, or there may be operational or technical limitations that limit the Funds’ ability to monitor and restrict frequent trading.

<R>

The Fund’s frequent trading restrictions do not apply to purchases and sales of Shares of MTB Funds (“Underlying Funds”) by the MTB Managed Allocation Funds. The MTB Managed Allocation Funds impose the same frequent trading restrictions as the Underlying Funds at their shareholder level. In addition, allocation changes of the investing MTB Managed Allocation Funds are monitored, and the managers of the Underlying Fund must determine that there is no material adverse impact on the Underlying Fund or its shareholders. The intent of this exception is to allow managers of the MTB Managed Allocation Funds to accommodate cash flows that result from non-abusive trading in the MTB Managed Allocation Funds, and to reallocate portfolio investments of MTB Managed Allocation Funds among various Underlying Funds in accordance with the investment objectives of the MTB Managed Allocation Funds, without being stopped from such trading because the aggregate of such trades exceeds the monitoring limits. Nevertheless, as with any trading in Fund Shares, purchases and redemptions of Underlying Fund Shares by the MTB Managed Allocation Funds could adversely affect the management of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio and its performance.

</R>

The Funds’ objective is that their restrictions on short-term trading should apply to all shareholders, regardless of the number or type of accounts in which Shares are held. However, the Funds anticipate that limitations on their ability to identify trading activity to specific shareholders, including where shares are held through financial intermediaries in multiple or omnibus accounts, will mean that these restrictions may not be able to be applied uniformly in all cases. For example, while the Funds will seek the cooperation of financial intermediaries to enforce the Funds’ policies on frequent trading, certain intermediaries may be unwilling or unable to implement such policies. Therefore, the Funds may be unable to uniformly monitor and restrict trading activity through such intermediaries. Also, because certain of the Funds are sold to participant-directed employee benefit plans, and there may be regulatory constraints on the plans’ ability to limit trading by the individual participants, the Funds may not be able to effectively monitor or restricting trading by these participants.

The Adviser will provide to the Funds’ Board a quarterly report of all potential occurrences which were detected during the preceding quarter, and a description of any action taken with respect thereto.

Money Market Funds. Given the short-term nature of the Money Market Funds’ investments and their use of the amortized cost method for calculating the NAV of Money Market Fund Shares, the Fund does not anticipate that in the normal case frequent or short-term trading into and out of the Money Market Funds will have significant adverse consequences for the Money Market Funds and their shareholders. For this reason and because the Money Market Funds are intended to be used as liquid short-term investments, the Funds’ policies or procedures to discourage frequent or short-term trading do not apply to the Money Market Funds’ Shares. However, the Money Market Funds may limit or terminate the availability of purchases or exchanges to a shareholder and may bar the shareholder from purchasing or exchanging shares of the Money Market Funds and other non-Money Market Funds if the Funds’ management or Adviser determines from the amount, frequency or pattern of purchases and redemptions or exchanges that the shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is or could be detrimental to the non-Money Market Funds and their shareholders.

Distribution of Fund Shares

Edgewood Services, Inc. (Distributor), whose address is 5800 Corporate Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15237, serves as the Distributor of the Funds offered by this Prospectus. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc.

Except for Class S Shares, the Fund’s Distributor markets the Shares described in this prospectus to corporations, institutions or other entities investing for their own (including as a fiduciary) or their individual customers’ accounts, directly or through a financial intermediary that has an agreement with the Distributor.

The Fund’s Distributor markets the Class S Shares described in this prospectus to institutions and individuals and to customers who purchase Shares through cash management services, such as sweep accounts.

When the Distributor receives marketing fees it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries. The Distributor and its affiliates may pay out of their assets other amounts (including items of material value) to financial intermediaries for marketing and servicing Shares. Financial intermediaries include the Advisor and its affiliates. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated). You should consult your financial intermediary to determine what types of compensation it may receive for selling Fund Shares.

<R>

The Distributor may, from time to time in its sole discretion, institute one or more promotional incentive programs for dealers, which will be paid for by the Distributor from any sales charge it receives or from any other sources available to it, including amounts made available by the Distributor’s affiliate (Federated Services Company), and the Advisor and its affiliates out of their reasonable profits and other resources. Under any such program, the Distributor may provide cash or non-cash compensation as recognition for past sales or encouragement for future sales that may include the following: merchandise, travel expenses, prizes, meals, and lodgings, and gifts that do not exceed $100 per year, per individual.

</R>

Rule 12B-1 Plans (Institutional Shares,
Institutional II Shares and Class S Shares Only)

The Funds have adopted a Rule 12b-1 Plan on behalf of Institutional Shares, Institutional II Shares and Class S Shares, which allows them to pay distribution fees to financial intermediaries (which may be paid through the Distributor) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds, for the sale, distribution, administration, customer servicing and recordkeeping of these Shares. These fees may be paid to the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates. The Funds may waive or reduce the maximum amount of Rule 12b-1 fees they pay from time to time in their sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including the Distributor, the Advisor or their affiliates) may voluntarily waive or reduce any fees to which they may be entitled. Because these Shares may pay marketing fees on an ongoing basis, your investment cost may be higher over time than other shares with different sales charges and marketing fees.

Shareholder Services Plans (Institutional Shares,
Institutional I Shares and Class S Shares Only)

The Funds have adopted a Shareholder Services Plan on behalf of Institutional Shares, Institutional I Shares and Class S Shares, which is administered by Federated Services Company to pay service fees to financial intermediaries (which may include the Distributor, the Advisor or their affiliates). M&T Securities, Inc. (M&T Securities) and other financial intermediaries are entitled to receive a shareholder services fee for acting as a shareholder servicing agent for the Funds, providing shareholder assistance, communicating or facilitating purchases and redemptions of Shares, and distributing prospectuses and other information.

Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries

The Distributor and its affiliates (including Federated Services Company) may pay out of their own reasonable resources and profits amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries (which may include the Advisor and its affiliates) to support the sale of Shares or provide services to Fund shareholders. The Advisor and its affiliates may pay out of their own reasonable resources and profits amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries including the Distributor and Federated Services Company) to support the sale of Shares or provide services to the Fund shareholders. The amounts of these payments could be significant, and may create an incentive for the financial intermediaries or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell Shares of the Fund to you. These payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table section of the Funds’ prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

These payments are negotiated and may be based on such factors as the number or value of Shares that the financial intermediary sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; or the type and nature of services or support furnished by the financial intermediary. These payments may be in addition to payments made by the Fund to the financial intermediary under a Rule 12b-1 Plan and/or shareholder service fee arrangement. You can ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor, the Advisor, their affiliates, or the Fund and any services the financial intermediary provides. The SAI contains additional information on the types of additional payments that may be paid.

Only shareholders of a Fund on the record date are entitled to receive payments of dividends and/or capital gains.

The Money Market Funds do not expect to realize any capital gains or losses. If capital gains or losses were to occur, they could result in an increase or decrease in dividends.

In addition, each Fund intends to pay any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares without a sales charge, unless you elect cash payments.

If you purchase Shares just before a Fund declares a dividend (other than a Fund that declares dividends daily) or capital gain distribution, you will pay the full price for the Shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a distribution, whether or not you reinvest the distribution in Shares. Therefore, you should consider the tax implications of purchasing Shares shortly before a Fund declares a dividend or capital gain.

Tax Information

The Funds send you an annual statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in a Fund. Tax information will be mailed to you on or before January 31 each year. Capital gains distributions are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time a Fund holds its assets.

The Funds’ distributions are expected to be as follows:

<R>

       DISTRIBUTIONS ARE EXPECTED

</R>

It is anticipated that distributions for Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund, New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund will be primarily dividends that are exempt from federal income tax, although a portion of each Fund’s dividends may not be exempt. Dividends may be subject to state and local taxes, although each of these Fund’s dividends will be exempt from Maryland, New York or Pennsylvania state personal income tax to the extent that they are derived from interest on obligations exempt from Maryland, New York or Pennsylvania personal income taxes, respectively.

Redemptions and exchanges are taxable sales. Capital gains and non-exempt dividends are taxable whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your federal, state and local tax liability.

Who Manages the Funds?

The Advisor manages each Fund’s assets, including buying and selling portfolio securities. The Advisor’s address is 100 E. Pratt Street, 17th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202.

LSV ASSET MANAGEMENT SMALL CAP VALUE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

<R>

The following table presents the past performance of a composite of certain accounts managed by LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), which serves as the subadviser to the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. The LSV Small Cap Value composite is composed of all fee paying accounts under discretionary management by LSV in LSV’s small cap value investment strategy that have investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. LSV has prepared the gross performance data shown for the composite in compliance with the Performance Presentation Standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR-PPS®), the U.S. and Canadian version of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). AIMR has not been involved in the preparation or review of this report. The AIMR method for computing historical performance differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s method. Because the gross performance data shown in the table does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees paid by the accounts comprising the composite and certain other expenses which would be applicable to mutual funds, the net performance data may be more relevant to potential investors in the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund in their analysis of the historical experience of LSV in managing all small cap value portfolios with investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. To calculate the performance of the composite net of all operating expenses, the annual fund operating expenses payable by the Institutional I Shares of MTB Small Cap Stock Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were used.

The historical performance of the LSV Small Cap Value composite is not that of any of the MTB Funds, including MTB Small Cap Stock Fund, and is not necessarily indicative of any Fund’s future results. MTB Small Cap Stock Fund commenced operations on July 1, 1994, and LSV commenced managing the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund on June 30, 2001. The actual performance of the value style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund (which is not presented in this prospectus) may vary significantly from the past performance of the composite. Moreover, MTB Small Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance presented in the prospectus varies and will continue to vary significantly from the past performance of the composite because (i) MTB Small Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance for the period June 30, 2001 through December 31, 2004 reflects both the performance of the value style portion of the Fund, as well as the performance of the growth style portion of the Fund (which is managed by another subadviser); and (ii) the Fund’s actual performance for the period prior to June 30, 2001 was managed in a single unitary investment style by a single adviser. While the accounts comprising the composite incur inflows and outflows of cash from clients, there can be no assurance that the continuous offering of a fund’s shares and a fund’s obligation to redeem its shares will not adversely impact the fund’s performance. Also, the accounts comprising the composite are not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Internal Revenue Code. If these limitations, requirements and restrictions were applicable to the composite, they may have had an adverse affect on the performance results of the composite.

LSV ASSET MANAGEMENT MID CAP VALUE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

<R>

The following table presents the past performance of a composite of certain accounts managed by LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), which serves as the subadviser to the value style portion of the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund. The LSV Mid Cap Value composite is composed of all fee paying accounts under discretionary management by LSV in LSV’s Mid Cap Value investment strategy that have investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the value style portion of the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund.

To calculate the performance of the composite net of all operating expenses, the annual fund operating expenses payable by the Institutional I Shares of MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were used.

</R>

The historical performance of the LSV Mid Cap Value composite is not that of any of the MTB Funds, including MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund, and is not necessarily indicative of any Fund’s future results. MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund commenced operations on July 1, 1994, and LSV commenced managing the value style portion of the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund on December 8, 2004. The actual performance of the value style portion of the MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund (which is not presented in this prospectus) may vary significantly from the past performance of the composite. Moreover, MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance presented in the prospectus varies and will continue to vary significantly from the past performance of the composite because (i) MTB Mid Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance for the period December 8, 2004 through December 31, 2004 reflects both the performance of the value style portion of the Fund, as well as the performance of the growth style portion of the Fund (which is managed by MTBIA); and (ii) the Fund’s actual performance for the period prior to December 8, 2004 was managed in a single unitary investment style by a single subadviser.

As of December 31, 2004, Mazama oversaw approximately $5.8 billion of client assets in institutional accounts for corporations, public funds and mutual fund sponsors.

MAZAMA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. SMALL CAP GROWTH COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following table presents the past performance of a composite of certain accounts managed by Mazama Capital Management, Inc. (“Mazama”), which serves as the subad-viser to the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. The Mazama Small Cap Growth composite is composed of all fee paying accounts under discretionary management by Mazama in Mazama’s small cap growth investment strategy that have investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. Mazama has prepared and presented the historical performance shown for the composite in compliance with the Performance Presentation Standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR-PPS®), the U.S. and Canadian version of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). AIMR has not been involved in the preparation or review of this report. The AIMR method for computing historical performance differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s method. Because the gross performance data shown in the table does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees paid by the accounts comprising the composite and certain other expenses which would be applicable to mutual funds, the net performance data may be more relevant to potential investors in the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund in their analysis of the historical experience of Mazama in managing all small cap growth portfolios with investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund. To calculate the performance of the composite net of all operating expenses, the annual fund operating expenses payable by the Institutional I Shares of MTB Small Cap Stock Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were used.

<R>

The historical performance of the Mazama Small Cap Growth composite is not that of any of the MTB Funds, including MTB Small Cap Stock Fund, and is not necessarily indicative of any Fund’s future results. MTB Small Cap Stock Fund commenced operations on July 1, 1994, and Mazama commenced managing the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund on July 1, 2001. The actual performance of the growth style portion of the MTB Small Cap Stock Fund (which is not presented in this prospectus) may vary significantly from the past performance of the composite. Moreover, MTB Small Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance presented in the prospectus varies and will continue to vary significantly from the past performance of the composite because (i) MTB Small Cap Stock Fund’s actual performance for the period July 1, 2001 through December 31, 2004 reflects both the performance of the growth style portion of the Fund, as well as the performance of the growth style portion of the Fund (which is managed by another subadviser); and (ii) the Fund’s actual performance for the period prior to July 1, 2001 was managed in a single unitary investment style by a single adviser. While the accounts comprising the composite incur inflows and outflows of cash from clients, there can be no assurance that the continuous offering of a fund’s shares and a fund’s obligation to redeem its shares will not adversely impact the fund’s performance. Also, the accounts comprising the composite are not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Internal Revenue Code. If these limitations, requirements and restrictions were applicable to the composite, they may have had an adverse affect on the performance results of the composite.

NWQ Investment Management Company LLC (NWQ) sub-advises Large Cap Value Fund. NWQ is a registered investment advisor that was founded in 1982 and most recently reorganized in August 2002 as a Delaware limited liability company. NWQ is an independently-managed subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., except for less-than-3% equity interest held by certain members of NWQ’s management and investment team. Nuveen Investments, Inc. is majority-owned by St. Paul Travelers Companies, a publicly held company. NWQ’s principal business address is 2049 Century Park East, 16th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067. As of December 31, 2004, NWQ managed approximately $30.9 billion in assets. NWQ has had past experience managing mutual funds. NWQ manages Large Cap Value Fund, makes decisions with respect to and places orders for all purchases and sales of its portfolio securities, and maintains the records relating to such purchases and sales. St. Paul Travelers Companies has publicly announced plans to sell its entire interest (approximately 78%) in Nuveen Investments, Inc., whereupon Nuveen would become a fully independent, publicly-held company. Such sale (which is subject to market conditions and certain other factors) is scheduled to be concluded during the third quarter of 2005 and would not affect NWQ’s current status as a greater-than-97% subsidiary of Nuveen.

NWQ LARGE CAP VALUE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following table presents the past performance of a composite of certain accounts managed by NWQ (10/1/96-12/31/04 and Jon D. Bosse (1/1/90-9/30/96), which serve as the subadviser and co-portfolio manger, respectively, to the MTB Large Cap Value Fund (together, the “Managers”). The NWQ Large Cap Value composite is composed of all fee paying accounts under discretionary management by the Managers that have large cap value investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the MTB Large Cap Value Fund. NWQ has prepared the gross performance data for the composite shown in the table in compliance with the Performance Presentation Standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR-PPS®), the U.S. and Canadian version of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). AIMR has not been involved in the preparation or review of this report. The gross performance data was calculated on an asset-weighted, total return basis, including reinvestment of all dividends, interest and income, realized and unrealized gains or losses, brokerage commissions and execution costs and custodial fees, without provision for federal and state income taxes, if any. The AIMR method for computing historical performance differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s method. Because the gross performance data shown in the table does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees paid by the accounts comprising the composite and certain other expenses which would be applicable to mutual funds, the net performance data may be more relevant to potential investors in the MTB Large Cap Value Fund in their analysis of the historical experience of the Managers in managing all large cap value portfolios with investment objectives, policies and strategies substantially similar to those of the MTB Large Cap Value Fund. To calculate the performance of the composite net of all operating expenses, the annual fund operating expenses payable by the Institutional I Shares of MTB Large Cap Value Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were used.

The historical performance of the NWQ Large Cap Value composite is not that of any of the MTB Funds, including MTB Large Cap Value Fund, and is not necessarily indicative of any Fund’s future results. MTB Large Cap Value Fund commenced operations on September 26, 1997, and NWQ commenced managing the MTB Large Cap Value Fund on December 8, 2004. The actual performance of the MTB Large Cap Value Fund (which is presented elsewhere in this prospectus) may vary significantly from the past performance of the composite. While the accounts comprising the composite incur inflows and outflows of cash from clients, there can be no assurance that the continuous offering of a fund’s shares and a fund’s obligation to redeem its shares will not adversely impact the fund’s performance. Also, the accounts comprising the composite are not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Internal Revenue Code. If these limitations, requirements and restrictions were applicable to the composite, they may have had an adverse effect on the performance results of the composite. The aggregate returns of the accounts comprising the composite may not reflect the returns of any particular account managed by NWQ.

Performance of the Large Cap Value composite presented prior to October 1, 1996 occurred while the portfolio manager, Jon D. Bosse, was affiliated with a prior firm, and was the only individual responsible for selecting the securities to buy and sell. The results prior to October 1, 1996 are based on the performance of one account managed with a substantially similar investment style and technique as the accounts comprising the Large Cap Value composite with assets of $288 million as of September 30, 1996. Prior to July 1, 1997, NWQ included accounts which held large, mid and small capitalization equities in the Large Cap Value composite. Subsequently, Large Cap Value accounts have opportunistically purchased small capitalization equities as allowed by client guidelines.

Portfolio Manager Responsibilities

International Equity Fund – Thomas Madsen (UBS) is the lead portfolio manager for the Fund. Thomas Madsen is the lead portfolio manager for the Fund. The Advisor’s investment professionals are organized into investment management teams, with a particular team dedicated to a specific asset class. Although Mr. Madsen is the lead team member and is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio, he has access to certain members of the International Equity investment management team, each of whom is allocated a specified portion of the portfolio over which he or she has independent responsibility for research, security selection, and portfolio construction. The team members also have access to additional portfolio managers and analysts within the various asset classes and markets in which the Fund invests. Mr. Madsen, as lead portfolio manager and coordinator for management of the Fund, has responsibility for allocating the portfolio among the various managers and analysts, occasionally implementing trades on behalf of analysts on the team and reviewing the overall composition of the portfolio to ensure its compliance with its stated investment objectives and strategies.

Small Cap Stock Fund – Josef Lakonishok, Robert Vishny and Menno Vermeulen jointly manage the value portion of the Small Cap Stock Fund. They agree on purchases and sales, and jointly decide on sector and capitalization weightings. For the growth portion of the Fund, Ronald Sauer has overall responsibility for the management of the investment team and, along with Stephen C.

HOW ARE THE FUNDS ORGANIZED?
====================================================================================


Each Fund covered by this SAI is a diversified portfolio of MTB Group of Funds
(the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust, except for Pennsylvania Municipal
Bond Fund, Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund,
Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund and New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund,
which are non-diversified portfolios of the Trust. On August 11, 2000, the Trust
was organized to acquire all of the assets and liabilities of the VISION Group
of Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Corporation") that was originally
incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on February 23, 1988, and
registered as an open-end management investment company. On November 8, 2000,
each portfolio of the Corporation in existence at that time became a portfolio
of the Trust. Accordingly, references in this SAI for periods prior to November
8, 2000, relate to the Funds as portfolios of the Corporation, and substantially
identical arrangements for the Corporation. The Trust changed its name from
VISION Group of Funds to MTB Group of Funds on August 15, 2003. As noted in the
prospectus, certain Funds were created as part of a reorganization of the ARK
Funds on August 15 and 22, 2003. These Funds are accounting survivors of
corresponding portfolios of ARK Funds, and therefore, information for the
preceding periods reflect past performance of those corresponding portfolios of
ARK Funds. The Trust may offer separate series of Shares representing interests
in separate portfolios of securities.

Through an internal reorganization, the Fund's investment advisor changed from
M&T Asset Management, a department of Manufacturers and Traders Trust
Company (M&T Bank) to MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. (MTBIA or Advisor), a
subsidiary of M&T Bank, on August 15, 2003. Five Variable Annuity Funds are
offered in a separate prospectus and SAI.








SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUNDS INVEST
====================================================================================
In pursuing its investment strategy, each Fund may invest in the following types
of securities for any purpose that is consistent with the Fund's investment
goal. Following is a table that indicates which types of securities are a:

P = Principal investment of a Fund;
A = Acceptable (but not principal) investment of a Fund; or N = Not an
acceptable investment of a Fund.

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS AND TECHNIQUES
Following are descriptions of securities and techniques that each Fund may or
may not pursue, as noted in the preceding tables.

EQUITY SECURITIES
Equity securities represent a share of an issuer's earnings and assets, after
the issuer pays its liabilities. The Fund cannot predict the income it will
receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to
the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer
greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because
their value increases directly with the value of the issuer's business. The
following describes the types of equity securities in which the Fund invests.


   Common Stocks
   Common stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security. Common stocks
   receive the issuer's earnings after the issuer pays its creditors and any
   preferred stockholders. As a result, changes in an issuer's earnings directly
   influence the value of its common stock.


   Preferred Stocks
   Preferred stocks have the right to receive specified dividends or
   distributions before the issuer makes payments on its common stock. Some
   preferred stocks also participate in dividends and distributions paid on
   common stock. Preferred stocks may also permit the issuer to redeem the
   stock. The Fund may treat such redeemable preferred stock as a fixed income
   security.


   Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
   REITs are real estate investment trusts that lease, operate and finance
   commercial real estate. REITs are exempt from federal corporate income tax if
   they limit their operations and distribute most of their income. Such tax
   requirements limit a REIT's ability to respond to changes in the commercial
   real estate market.


   Interests in Other Limited Liability Companies
   Entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, business
   trusts and companies organized outside the United States may issue securities
   comparable to common or preferred stock.


   Warrants
   Warrants give the Fund the option to buy the issuer's equity securities at a
   specified price (the exercise price) at a specified future date (the
   expiration date). The Fund may buy the designated securities by paying the
   exercise price before the expiration date. Warrants may become worthless if
   the price of the stock does not rise above the exercise price by the
   expiration date. This increases the market risks of warrants as compared to
   the underlying security. Rights are the same as warrants, except companies
   typically issue rights to existing stockholders.

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES
Fixed income securities pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified
rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted
periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the
principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income
securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the
returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with
the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed income
securities as compared to equity securities.

A security's yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a
percentage of its price. A security's yield will increase or decrease depending
upon whether it costs less (a discount) or more (a premium) than the principal
amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the
price and yield on a discount or premium security may change based upon the
probability of an early redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have
higher yields.

The following describes the types of fixed income securities in which a Fund may
invest.

   Treasury Securities
   Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the
   United States. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the
   lowest credit risks.

   Agency Securities
   Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other
   government sponsored entity (GSE) acting under federal authority. Some GSE
   securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.
   These include the Government National Mortgage Association, Small Business
   Administration, Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation, Farmer's
   Home Administration, Federal Financing Bank, General Services Administration,
   Department of Housing and Urban Development, Export-Import Bank, Overseas
   Private Investment Corporation, and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
   Authority Bonds.

    Other GSE securities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or
   other benefits. For example, the U.S. Treasury is authorized to purchase
   specified amounts of securities issued by (or otherwise make funds available
   to) the Federal Home Loan Bank System, Federal Home Loan Mortgage
   Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, Student Loan Marketing
   Association, and Tennessee Valley Authority in support of such obligations.

   A few GSE securities have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as
   having implied support because the federal government sponsors their
   activities. These include the Farm Credit System, Financing Corporation, and
   Resolution Funding Corporation.

   Investors regard agency securities as having low credit risks, but not as low
   as Treasury securities.

   A Fund treats mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by a GSE as if issued or
   guaranteed by a federal agency. Although such a guarantee protects against
   credit risks, it does not reduce market and prepayment risks.

   Corporate Debt Securities
   Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses.
   Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of
   corporate debt securities. A Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans
   to companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among
   issuers.

   In addition, the credit risk of an issuer's debt security may vary based on
   its priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt
   securities have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated)
   securities. This means that the issuer might not make payments on
   subordinated securities while continuing to make payments on senior
   securities. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy, holders of senior
   securities may receive amounts otherwise payable to the holders of
   subordinated securities. Some subordinated securities, such as trust
   preferred and capital securities notes, also permit the issuer to defer
   payments under certain circumstances. For example, insurance companies issue
   securities known as surplus notes that permit the insurance company to defer
   any payment that would reduce its capital below regulatory requirements.

   Commercial Paper
   Commercial paper is an issuer's obligation with a maturity of less than nine
   months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current
   expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and use
   the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer cannot
   continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper may
   default. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and
   credit risks as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.

   Demand Instruments
   Demand instruments are corporate debt securities that the issuer must repay
   upon demand. Other demand instruments require a third party, such as a dealer
   or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The Fund
   treats demand instruments as short-term securities, even though their stated
   maturity may extend beyond one year.

   Taxable Municipal Securities
   Municipal securities are issued by states, counties, cities and other
   political subdivisions and authorities. Although many municipal securities
   are exempt from federal income tax, a Fund may invest in taxable municipal
   securities.

   Mortgage Backed Securities
   Mortgage backed securities represent interests in pools of mortgages. The
   mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates,
   maturities and other terms. Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest
   rates. Interests in pools of adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.

   Mortgage backed securities come in a variety of forms. Many have extremely
   complicated terms. The simplest form of mortgage backed securities are
   pass-through certificates. An issuer of pass-through certificates gathers
   monthly payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. Then, the issuer
   deducts its fees and expenses and passes the balance of the payments onto the
   certificate holders once a month. Holders of pass-through certificates
   receive a pro rata share of all payments and pre-payments from the underlying
   mortgages. As a result, the holders assume all the prepayment risks of the
   underlying mortgages.

      Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)
      CMOs, including interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits
      (REMICs), allocate payments and prepayments from an underlying
      pass-through certificate among holders of different classes of mortgage
      backed securities. This creates different prepayment and interest rate
      risks for each CMO class.

         Sequential CMOs
         In a sequential pay CMO, one class of CMOs receives all principal
         payments and prepayments. The next class of CMOs receives all principal
         payments after the first class is paid off. This process repeats for
         each sequential class of CMO. As a result, each class of sequential pay
         CMOs reduces the prepayment risks of subsequent classes.

         PACs, TACs and Companion Classes
         More sophisticated CMOs include planned amortization classes (PACs) and
         targeted amortization classes (TACs). PACs and TACs are issued with
         companion classes. PACs and TACs receive principal payments and
         prepayments at a specified rate. The companion classes receive
         principal payments and prepayments in excess of the specified rate. In
         addition, PACs will receive the companion classes' share of principal
         payments, if necessary, to cover a shortfall in the prepayment rate.
         This helps PACs and TACs to control prepayment risks by increasing the
         risks to their companion classes.

         IOs and POs
         CMOs may allocate interest payments to one class (Interest Only or IOs)
         and principal payments to another class (Principal Only or POs). POs
         increase in value when prepayment rates increase. In contrast, IOs
         decrease in value when prepayments increase, because the underlying
         mortgages generate less interest payments. However, IOs tend to
         increase in value when interest rates rise (and prepayments decrease),
         making IOs a useful hedge against interest rate risks.

         Floaters and Inverse Floaters
         Another variant allocates interest payments between two classes of
         CMOs. One class (Floaters) receives a share of interest payments based
         upon a market index such as LIBOR. The other class (Inverse Floaters)
         receives any remaining interest payments from the underlying mortgages.
         Floater classes receive more interest (and Inverse Floater classes
         receive correspondingly less interest) as interest rates rise. This
         shifts prepayment and interest rate risks from the Floater to the
         Inverse Floater class, reducing the price volatility of the Floater
         class and increasing the price volatility of the Inverse Floater class.

         Z Classes and Residual Classes
         CMOs must allocate all payments received from the underlying mortgages
         to some class. To capture any unallocated payments, CMOs generally have
         an accrual (Z) class. Z classes do not receive any payments from the
         underlying mortgages until all other CMO classes have been paid off.
         Once this happens, holders of Z class CMOs receive all payments and
         prepayments. Similarly, REMICs have residual interests that receive any
         mortgage payments not allocated to another REMIC class.

    The degree of increased or decreased prepayment risks depends upon the
    structure of the CMOs. However, the actual returns on any type of mortgage
    backed security depend upon the performance of the underlying pool of
    mortgages, which no one can predict and will vary among pools.

Asset Backed Securities
Asset backed securities are payable from pools of obligations other than
mortgages. Most asset backed securities involve consumer or commercial debts
with maturities of less than ten years. However, almost any type of fixed income
assets (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create an asset
backed security. Asset backed securities may take the form of commercial paper,
notes, or pass through certificates. Asset backed securities have prepayment
risks. Like CMOs, asset backed securities may be structured like Floaters,
Inverse Floaters, IOs and POs.

Zero Coupon Securities
Zero coupon securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity,
unlike debt securities that provide periodic payments of interest (referred to
as a coupon payment). Investors buy zero coupon securities at a price below the
amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the
amount paid at maturity represents interest on the zero coupon security.
Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which
increases the market and credit risks of a zero coupon security.

There are many forms of zero coupon securities. Some are issued at a discount
and are referred to as zero coupon or capital appreciation bonds. Others are
created from interest bearing bonds by separating the right to receive the
bond's coupon payments from the right to receive the bond's principal due at
maturity, a process known as coupon stripping. Treasury STRIPs, IOs and POs are
the most common forms of stripped zero coupon securities. In addition, some
securities give the issuer the option to deliver additional securities in place
of cash interest payments, thereby increasing the amount payable at maturity.
These are referred to as pay-in-kind or PIK securities.

Bank Instruments
Bank  instruments  are  unsecured   interest  bearing  deposits  with  banks.   Bank
instruments  include  bank  accounts,  time  deposits,  certificates  of deposit and
banker's  acceptances.  Yankee  instruments  are  denominated  in U.S.  dollars  and
issued by U.S.  branches of foreign banks.  Eurodollar  instruments  are denominated
in U.S. dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks.

Credit Enhancement
Common types of credit enhancement include guarantees, letters of credit, bond
insurance and surety bonds. Credit enhancement also includes arrangements where
securities or other liquid assets secure payment of a fixed income security. If
a default occurs, these assets may be sold and the proceeds paid to security's
holders. Either form of credit enhancement reduces credit risks by providing
another source of payment for a fixed income security.

Convertible Securities
Convertible securities are fixed income securities that a Fund has the option to
exchange for equity securities at a specified conversion price. The option
allows the Fund to realize additional returns if the market price of the equity
securities exceeds the conversion price. For example, the Fund may hold fixed
income securities that are convertible into shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $10 per share. If the market value of the shares of common
stock reached $12, the Fund could realize an additional $2 per share by
converting its fixed income securities.

Convertible securities have lower yields than comparable fixed income
securities. In addition, at the time a convertible security is issued the
conversion price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities.
Thus, convertible securities may provide lower returns than non-convertible
fixed income securities or equity securities depending upon changes in the price
of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible securities permit the
Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the underlying equity
securities with less risk of losing its initial investment. The Equity Funds may
invest in commercial paper rated below investment grade. See "Risks Associated
with Non-investment Grade Securities" herein.

The Funds treat convertible securities as both fixed income and equity
securities for purposes of its investment policies and limitations, because of
their unique characteristics.

Tax Exempt Securities
Tax exempt securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not
subject to regular federal income taxes. Typically, states, counties, cities and
other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax exempt securities. The
market categorizes tax exempt securities by their source of repayment.

   General Obligation Bonds
   General obligation bonds are supported by the issuer's power to exact
   property or other taxes. The issuer must impose and collect taxes sufficient
   to pay principal and interest on the bonds. However, the issuer's authority
   to impose additional taxes may be limited by its charter or state law.

   Special Revenue Bonds
   Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific revenues received by
   the issuer such as specific taxes, assessments, tolls, or fees. Bondholders
   may not collect from the municipality's general taxes or revenues. For
   example, a municipality may issue bonds to build a toll road, and pledge the
   tolls to repay the bonds. Therefore, a shortfall in the tolls normally would
   result in a default on the bonds.

      Private Activity Bonds
      Private activity bonds are special revenue bonds used to finance private
      entities. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to finance a new
      factory to improve its local economy. The municipality would lend the
      proceeds from its bonds to the company using the factory, and the company
      would agree to make loan payments sufficient to repay the bonds. The bonds
      would be payable solely from the company's loan payments, not from any
      other revenues of the municipality. Therefore, any default on the loan
      normally would result in a default on the bonds.

      The interest on many types of private activity bonds is subject to the
      federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). A Fund may invest in bonds subject
      to AMT.

   Tax Increment Financing Bonds
   Tax increment financing (TIF) bonds are payable from increases in taxes or
   other revenues attributable to projects financed by the bonds. For example, a
   municipality may issue TIF bonds to redevelop a commercial area. The TIF
   bonds would be payable solely from any increase in sales taxes collected from
   merchants in the area. The bonds could default if merchants' sales, and
   related tax collections, failed to increase as anticipated.

Municipal Securities
Municipal Securities are issued by states, counties, cities and other political
subdivisions and authorities. Although many municipal securities are exempt from
federal income tax, the Funds may invest in taxable municipal securities.
   Municipal Notes
   Municipal notes are short-term tax exempt securities. Many municipalities
   issue such notes to fund their current operations before collecting taxes or
   other municipal revenues. Municipalities may also issue notes to fund capital
   projects prior to issuing long-term bonds. The issuers typically repay the
   notes at the end of their fiscal year, either with taxes, other revenues or
   proceeds from newly issued notes or bonds.

   Variable Rate Demand Instruments
   Variable rate demand instruments are tax exempt securities that require the
   issuer or a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security
   for its face value upon demand. The securities also pay interest at a
   variable rate intended to cause the securities to trade at their face value.
   The Funds treat demand instruments as short-term securities, because their
   variable interest rate adjusts in response to changes in market rates, even
   though their stated maturity may extend beyond thirteen months.
   Municipal Leases
   Municipalities may enter into leases for equipment or facilities. In order to
   comply with state public financing laws, these leases are typically subject
   to annual appropriation. In other words, a municipality may end a lease,
   without penalty, by not providing for the lease payments in its annual
   budget. After the lease ends, the lessor can resell the equipment or facility
   but may lose money on the sale.

   A Fund may invest in securities supported by pools of municipal leases. The
   most common type of lease backed securities are certificates of participation
   (COPs). However, a Fund may also invest directly in individual leases.

Foreign Securities
Foreign securities are securities of issuers based outside the United States.
The Funds consider an issuer to be based outside the United States if:

|     it is  organized  under the laws of, or has a  principal  office  located  in,
   another country;

|     the principal trading market for its securities is in another country; or

|  it (or its subsidiaries) derived in its most current fiscal year at least 50%
   of its total assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit from goods
   produced, services performed, or sales made in another country.

Foreign securities are primarily denominated in foreign currencies. Along with
the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same type, foreign
securities are subject to currency risks and risks of foreign investing. Trading
in certain foreign markets is also subject to liquidity risks.

   Depositary Receipts
   Depositary receipts represent interests in underlying securities issued by a
   foreign company. Depositary receipts are not traded in the same market as the
   underlying security. The foreign securities underlying American Depositary
   Receipts (ADRs) are traded in the United States. ADRs provide a way to buy
   shares of foreign-based companies in the United States rather than in
   overseas markets. ADRs are also traded in U.S. dollars, eliminating the need
   for foreign exchange transactions.

   Foreign Exchange Contracts
   In order to convert U.S. dollars into the currency needed to buy a foreign
   security, or to convert foreign currency received from the sale of a foreign
   security into U.S. dollars, the Fund may enter into spot currency trades. In
   a spot trade, the Fund agrees to exchange one currency for another at the
   current exchange rate. The Fund may also enter into derivative contracts in
   which a foreign currency is an underlying asset. The exchange rate for
   currency derivative contracts may be higher or lower than the spot exchange
   rate. Use of these derivative contracts may increase or decrease the Fund's
   exposure to currency risks.
   Foreign Government Securities
   Foreign government securities generally consist of fixed income securities
   supported by national, state or provincial governments or similar political
   subdivisions. Foreign government securities also include debt obligations of
   supranational entities, such as international organizations designed or
   supported by governmental entities to promote economic reconstruction or
   development, international banking institutions and related government
   agencies. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, the
   International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), the
   Asian Development Bank, the European Investment Bank and the Inter-American
   Development Bank.

   Foreign government securities also include fixed income securities of
   quasi-governmental agencies that are either issued by entities owned by a
   national, state or equivalent government or are obligations of a political
   unit that are not backed by the national government's full faith and credit.
   Further, foreign government securities include mortgage-related securities
   issued or guaranteed by national, state or provincial governmental
   instrumentalities, including quasi-governmental agencies.

DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS
Derivative contracts are financial instruments that require payments based upon
changes in the values of designated (or underlying) securities, currencies,
commodities, financial indices or other assets. Some derivative contracts (such
as futures, forwards and options) require payments relating to a future trade
involving the underlying asset. Other derivative contracts (such as swaps)
require payments relating to the income or returns from the underlying asset.
The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.

Many derivative contracts are traded on securities or commodities exchanges. In
this case, the exchange sets all the terms of the contract except for the price.
Investors make payments due under their contracts through the exchange. Most
exchanges require investors to maintain margin accounts through their brokers to
cover their potential obligations to the exchange. Parties to the contract make
(or collect) daily payments to the margin accounts to reflect losses (or gains)
in the value of their contracts. This protects investors against potential
defaults by the counterparty. Trading contracts on an exchange also allows
investors to close out their contracts by entering into offsetting contracts.

For example, the Fund could close out an open contract to buy an asset at a
future date by entering into an offsetting contract to sell the same asset on
the same date. If the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase
price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the Fund realizes a loss.
Exchanges may limit the amount of open contracts permitted at any one time. Such
limits may prevent the Fund from closing out a position. If this happens, the
Fund will be required to keep the contract open (even if it is losing money on
the contract), and to make any payments required under the contract (even if it
has to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices to do so). Inability to
close out a contract could also harm the Fund by preventing it from disposing of
or trading any assets it has been using to secure its obligations under the
contract.

The Funds may also trade derivative contracts over-the-counter (OTC) in
transactions negotiated directly between the Fund and the counterparty. OTC
contracts do not necessarily have standard terms, so they cannot be directly
offset with other OTC contracts. In addition, OTC contracts with more
specialized terms may be more difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.

Depending upon how the Fund uses derivative contracts and the relationships
between the market value of a derivative contract and the underlying asset,
derivative contracts may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to market and
currency risks, and may also expose the Fund to liquidity and leverage risks.
OTC contracts also expose the Fund to credit risks in the event that a
counterparty defaults on the contract.

The Funds (other than the Money Market Funds) may trade in the following types
of derivative contracts.

   Futures Contracts
   Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by
   another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified
   price, date, and time. Entering into a contract to buy an underlying asset is
   commonly referred to as buying a contract or holding a long position in the
   asset. Entering into a contract to sell an underlying asset is commonly
   referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position in the asset.
   Futures contracts are considered to be commodity contracts. Futures contracts
   traded OTC are frequently referred to as forward contracts.

   The Fund may buy/sell financial futures contracts. The Equity Funds and
   Balanced Funds may also buy/sell stock index futures.

   Options
   Options are rights to buy or sell an underlying asset for a specified price
   (the exercise price) during, or at the end of, a specified period. A call
   option gives the holder (buyer) the right to buy the underlying asset from
   the seller (writer) of the option. A put option gives the holder the right to
   sell the underlying asset to the writer of the option. The writer of the
   option receives a payment, or premium, from the buyer, which the writer keeps
   regardless of whether the buyer uses (or exercises) the option.

   The Funds may:

|     Buy call options on portfolio  securities  in  anticipation  of an increase in
   the value of the underlying asset;

|  Buy put options on portfolio securities in anticipation of a decrease in the
   value of the underlying asset.

   Each Fund may also write call options on all or any portion of its portfolio
   securities and on financial or stock index futures contracts (as permitted)
   to generate income from premiums, and in anticipation of a decrease or only
   limited increase in the value of the underlying asset. If a call written by
   the Fund is exercised, the Fund foregoes any possible profit from an increase
   in the market price of the underlying asset over the exercise price plus the
   premium received.

   Each Fund may also write put options on all or a portion of its portfolio
   securities and on financial or stock index futures contracts (as permitted)
   to generate income from premiums, and in anticipation of an increase or only
   limited decrease in the value of the underlying asset. In writing puts, there
   is a risk that the Fund may be required to take delivery of the underlying
   asset when its current market price is lower than the exercise price.

   When the Fund writes options on futures contracts, it will be subject to
   margin requirements similar to those applied to futures contracts.

INVESTMENT RATINGS FOR THE MONEY MARKET FUNDS
A nationally recognized rating service's two highest rating categories are
determined without regard for sub-categories and gradations. For example,
securities rated SP-1+, SP-1, or SP-2 by S&P, MIG-1 or MIG-2 by Moody's, or
F-1+, F-1, or F-2 by Fitch are all considered rated in one of the two highest
short-term rating categories. The Money Market Funds will follow applicable
regulations in determining whether a security rated by more than one rating
service can be treated as being in one of the two highest short-term rating
categories; currently, such securities must be rated by two rating services in
one of their two highest rating categories. See "Regulatory Compliance."

If a security is downgraded below the minimum quality grade discussed in the
Fund's investment strategy, the Adviser or Subadviser will re-evaluate the
security, but will not be required to sell it.

SPECIAL TRANSACTIONS
   Repurchase Agreements
   Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a
   dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon
   time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the
   Fund's return on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest
   rate on the underlying security. A Fund will enter into repurchase agreements
   only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as
   securities dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.

   The Funds' custodian or subcustodian will take possession of the securities
   subject to repurchase agreements. The Adviser or subcustodian will monitor
   the value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the
   security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

   Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.

   Reverse Repurchase Agreements
   Reverse repurchase agreements are repurchase agreements in which a Fund is
   the seller (rather than the buyer) of the securities, and agrees to
   repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price. A reverse repurchase
   agreement may be viewed as a type of borrowing by the Fund. Reverse
   repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks. In addition, reverse
   repurchase agreements create leverage risks because the Fund must repurchase
   the underlying security at a higher price, regardless of the market value of
   the security at the time of repurchase.

   Delayed Delivery Transactions
   Delayed delivery transactions, including when issued transactions, are
   arrangements in which the Funds buy securities for a set price, with payment
   and delivery of the securities scheduled for a future time. During the period
   between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Funds to the
   issuer and no interest accrues to the Funds. The Funds record the transaction
   when they agree to buy the securities and reflects their value in determining
   the price of their Shares. Settlement dates may be a month or more after
   entering into these transactions so that the market values of the securities
   bought may vary from the purchase prices. Therefore, delayed delivery
   transactions create interest rate risks for the Funds. Delayed delivery
   transactions also involve credit risks in the event of a counterparty
   default.

      To Be Announced Securities (TBAs)
      As with other delayed delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue a
      TBA security at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the
      particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the Fund agrees to accept
      any security that meets specified terms. For example, in a TBA mortgage
      backed transaction, the Fund and the seller would agree upon the issuer,
      interest rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. The seller would not
      identify the specific underlying mortgages until it issues the security.
      TBA mortgage backed securities increase interest rate risks because the
      underlying mortgages may be less favorable than anticipated by the Fund.

   Securities Lending
   The Funds may lend portfolio securities to borrowers that the Adviser deems
   creditworthy. In return, a Fund receives cash or liquid securities from the
   borrower as collateral. The borrower must furnish additional collateral if
   the market value of the loaned securities increases. Also, the borrower must
   pay the Fund the equivalent of any dividends or interest received on the
   loaned securities.

   The Fund will reinvest cash collateral in securities that qualify as an
   acceptable investment for the Fund. However, the Fund must pay interest to
   the borrower for the use of cash collateral.

   Loans are subject to termination at the option of the Fund or the borrower.
   The Fund will not have the right to vote on securities while they are on
   loan, but it will terminate a loan in anticipation of any important vote. The
   Fund may pay administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan and
   may pay a negotiated portion of the interest earned on the cash collateral to
   a securities lending agent or broker.

   Securities lending activities are subject to interest rate risks and credit
   risks.

   Asset Coverage
   In order to secure its obligations in connection with derivatives contracts
   or special transactions, a Fund will either own the underlying assets, enter
   into an offsetting transaction or set aside readily marketable securities
   with a value that equals or exceeds the Fund's obligations. Unless the Fund
   has other readily marketable assets to set aside, it cannot trade assets used
   to secure such obligations without entering into an offsetting derivative
   contract or terminating a special transaction. This may cause the Fund to
   miss favorable trading opportunities or to realize losses on derivative
   contracts or special transactions.

INVESTING IN SECURITIES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES
The Funds may invest its assets in securities of other investment companies,
including the securities of affiliated money market funds, as an efficient means
of carrying out their investment policies and managing any uninvested cash. See
"Investment Limitations - Investing in Other Investment Companies" on page 22 of
this SAI.

The Funds may also invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in order to implement
its investment strategies. The shares of most ETFs are listed and traded on
stock exchanges at market prices, although some Shares may be redeemable at net
asset value for cash or securities. The Funds may invest in ETFs in order to
achieve exposure to a specific region, country or market sector, or for other
reasons consistent with its investment strategy. As with traditional mutual
funds, ETFs charge asset-based fees, although these fees tend to be relatively
low. ETFs generally do not charge initial sales charges or redemption fees and
investors pay only customary brokerage fees to buy and sell ETF shares.

INVESTMENT RISKS
====================================================================================

There are many factors which may affect an investment in the Funds. The Funds'
principal risks are described in the prospectus. Additional risk factors are
outlined below.

Stock Market Risks
The value of equity securities in a Fund's portfolio will rise and fall. These
fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. A Fund's
portfolio will reflect changes in prices of individual portfolio stocks or
general changes in stock valuations. Consequently, the Fund's share price may
decline.

The Adviser attempts to manage market risk by limiting the amount the Fund
invests in each company's equity securities. However, diversification will not
protect the Fund against widespread or prolonged declines in the stock market.

Sector Risks
Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad
categories called sectors. Sector risk is the possibility that a certain sector
may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As the Adviser
allocates more of a Fund's portfolio holdings to a particular sector, a Fund's
performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other
developments which generally affect that sector.

Liquidity Risks
Trading opportunities are more limited for equity securities that are not widely
held. This may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable
price or time. Consequently, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a
security, sell other securities to raise cash or give up an investment
opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Fund's
performance. Infrequent trading of securities may also lead to an increase in
their price volatility.

Trading opportunities are more limited for fixed income securities that have not
received any credit ratings, have received ratings below investment grade or are
not widely held.

Trading opportunities are more limited for CMOs that have complex terms or that
are not widely held. These features may make it more difficult to sell or buy a
security at a favorable price or time. Consequently, the Fund may have to accept
a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash or give up
an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the
Fund's performance. Infrequent trading of securities may also lead to an
increase in their price volatility.

Liquidity risk also refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to
sell a security or close out a derivative contract when it wants to. If this
happens, the Fund will be required to continue to hold the security or keep the
position open, and the Fund could incur losses.

OTC derivative contracts generally carry greater liquidity risk than
exchange-traded contracts.

Risks Related to Investing for Growth
Due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more
volatile than value stocks. For instance, the price of a growth stock may
experience a larger decline on a forecast of lower earnings, a negative
fundamental development, or an adverse market development. Further, growth
stocks may not pay dividends or may pay lower dividends than value stocks. This
means they depend more on price changes for returns and may be more adversely
affected in a down market compared to value stocks that pay higher dividends.

Risks Related to Investing for Value
Due to their relatively low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile
than growth stocks. For instance, the price of a value stock may experience a
smaller increase on a forecast of higher earnings, a positive fundamental
development, or positive market development. Further, value stocks tend to have
higher dividends than growth stocks. This means they depend less on price
changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

Risks Related to Company Size
Generally, the smaller the market capitalization of a company, the fewer the
number of shares traded daily, the less liquid its stock and the more volatile
its price. For example, medium capitalization stocks may be less liquid and more
volatile than stocks of larger, well-known companies. Market capitalization is
determined by multiplying the number of its outstanding shares by the current
market price per share.

Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have unproven track
records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. These
factors also increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than
companies with larger market capitalizations.

<R>

Currency Risks
Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. The combination of currency risk
and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile
than securities traded exclusively in the U.S.

</R>

Euro Risks
The Euro is the new single currency of the European Monetary Union (EMU). With
the advent of the Euro, the participating countries in the EMU can no longer
follow independent monetary policies. This may limit these countries' ability to
respond to economic downturns or political upheavals, and consequently reduce
the value of their foreign government securities.

Risks of Foreign Investing
Foreign securities pose additional risks because foreign economic or political
conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States. Securities in
foreign markets may also be subject to taxation policies that reduce returns for
U.S. investors.

Foreign companies may not provide information (including financial statements)
as frequently or to as great an extent as companies in the United States.
Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than United States companies by
market analysts and the financial press. In addition, foreign countries may lack
uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or regulatory
requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. These factors may
prevent the Fund and its Adviser from obtaining information concerning foreign
companies that is as frequent, extensive and reliable as the information
available concerning companies in the United States.

Foreign countries may have restrictions on foreign ownership of securities or
may impose exchange controls, capital flow restrictions or repatriation
restrictions which could adversely affect the liquidity of a Fund's investments.

To the extent a Fund invests in foreign securities, its share price may be more
affected by foreign economic and political conditions, taxation policies, and
accounting and auditing standards than would otherwise be the case.

Leverage Risks
Leverage risk is created when an investment exposes the Fund to a level of risk
that exceeds the amount invested. Changes in the value of such an investment
magnify a Fund's risk of loss and potential for gain.

Interest Rate Risks
Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the
interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise,
prices of fixed income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the
demand for particular fixed income securities, may cause the price of certain
fixed income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or
remain unchanged.

Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income
securities with longer durations. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a
fixed income security to changes in interest rates.

Credit Risks
Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by
failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, the Fund
will lose money.

Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from services such as
Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services, Inc. These services assign
ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower
credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received
a rating, the Fund must rely entirely upon the Adviser's credit assessment.

Fixed income securities generally compensate for greater credit risk by paying
interest at a higher rate. The difference between the yield of a security and
the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity (the spread)
measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may increase generally
in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A security's spread may
also increase if the security's rating is lowered, or the security is perceived
to have an increased credit risk. An increase in the spread will cause the price
of the security to decline.

Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving the
Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose the
benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other
securities to implement its investment strategy.

Call Risks
Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a fixed income security
before maturity (a call) at a price below its current market price. An increase
in the likelihood of a call may reduce the security's price.

If a fixed income security is called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds
in other fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher credit risks,
or other less favorable characteristics.

Prepayment Risks
Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time
without penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance high interest rate mortgages
when mortgage rates fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage backed
securities with higher interest rates. Conversely, prepayments due to
refinancings decrease when mortgage rates increase. This extends the life of
mortgage backed securities with lower interest rates. Other economic factors can
also lead to increases or decreases in prepayments. Increases in prepayments of
high interest rate mortgage backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of
lower interest rate mortgage backed securities, may reduce their yield and
price. These factors, particularly the relationship between interest rates and
mortgage prepayments makes the price of mortgage backed securities more volatile
than many other types of fixed income securities with comparable credit risks.

Mortgage backed securities generally compensate for greater prepayment risk by
paying a higher yield. The difference between the yield of a mortgage backed
security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity
(the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may
increase generally in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A
security's spread may also increase if the security is perceived to have an
increased prepayment risk or perceived to have less market demand. An increase
in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.

The Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds of mortgage prepayments in other
fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher prepayment risks, or
other less favorable characteristics.

Risks Associated with Noninvestment Grade Securities
The securities in which the Funds may invest may be rated below investment
grade. Securities rated below investment grade may be subject to the same risks
as those inherent in corporate debt obligations that are rated below investment
grade, also known as junk bonds. Junk bonds generally entail greater market,
credit and liquidity risks than investment grade securities. For example, their
prices are more volatile, economic downturns and financial setbacks may affect
their prices more negatively, and their trading market may be more limited.

Risks Associated with Complex CMOs
CMOs with complex or highly variable prepayment terms, such as companion
classes, IOs, POs, Inverse Floaters and residuals, generally entail greater
market, prepayment and liquidity risks than other mortgage backed securities.
For example, their prices are more volatile and their trading market may be more
limited.

Tax Risks
In order to be tax-exempt, municipal securities must meet certain legal
requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received
and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.

Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of
municipal securities to fall.

Tracking Error Risk
Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund's
investments and those of its benchmarks, rounding of share prices, changes to
the benchmark, regulatory policies, and leverage, may affect its ability to
achieve perfect correlation. The magnitude of any tracking error may be affected
by a higher portfolio turnover rate. Because an index is just a composite of the
prices of the securities it represents rather than an actual portfolio of those
securities, an index will have no expenses. As a result, the Funds, which will
have expenses such as custody, management fees and other operational costs, and
brokerage expenses, may not achieve its investment objective of accurately
correlating to an index.

Exchange-Traded Funds
An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an
investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange traded) that
has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The price of an
ETF can fluctuate up or down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF
if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down. In addition, ETFs may
be subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional funds: (i)
the market price of an ETF's shares may trade above or below their net asset
value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF's shares may not develop or be
maintained; or (iii) trading of an ETF's shares may be halted if the listing
exchange's officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from
the exchange, or the activation of market-wide "circuit breakers" (which are
tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS - U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND, MONEY MARKET FUND, NEW
YORK TAX FREE MONEY MARKET FUND, U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND, NEW YORK MUNICIPAL BOND
FUND, LARGE CAP VALUE FUND, LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND AND MID CAP STOCK FUND
====================================================================================

The Large Cap Growth Fund may, in the future, seek to achieve the Fund's
investment objective by investing all of the Fund's assets in a no-load,
open-end management investment company having substantially the same investment
objectives as the Fund. The Fund's investment policy permits such an investment.
Shareholders will receive prior written notice with respect to any such
investment.

Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money
Each Fund may borrow money, directly or indirectly, and issue senior securities,
to the maximum extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940
Act), any rule or order thereunder, or any SEC staff interpretation thereof.

Underwriting
The Funds may not underwrite the securities of other issuers, except that the
Funds may engage in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or
resale of their portfolio securities, under circumstances where the Funds may be
considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933.

Investing in Real Estate
The Funds may not purchase or sell real estate, provided that this restriction
does not prevent the Funds from investing in issuers which invest, deal, or
otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or
investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein.
The Funds may exercise their rights under agreements relating to such
securities, including the right to enforce security interests and hold real
estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be
liquidated in an orderly manner.

Lending Cash or Securities
The Funds may not make loans, provided that this restriction does not prevent
the Funds from purchasing debt obligations, entering into repurchase agreements,
lending their assets to broker/dealers or institutional investors and investing
in loans, including assignments and participation interests.

Investing in Commodities
The Funds may not purchase or sell physical commodities, provided that the Funds
may purchase securities of companies that deal in commodities. For purposes of
this restriction, investments in transactions involving futures contracts and
options, forward currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial
contracts that settle by payment of cash are not deemed to be investments in
commodities.

Concentration of Investments
The Funds will not make investments that will result in the concentration of
their investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same
industry. For purposes of this restriction, the term concentration has the
meaning set forth in the 1940 Act, any rule or order thereunder, or any SEC
staff interpretation thereof. Government securities and municipal securities
will not be deemed to constitute an industry.

Diversification - all Funds except New York Municipal Bond Fund With respect to
securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, the Funds will not
purchase securities of any one issuer (other than cash; cash items; securities
issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its agencies or
instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such U.S.
government securities; and securities of other investment companies) if, as a
result, more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be invested in the
securities of that issuer, or the Funds would own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer.

Investing in Exempt-Interest Obligations
The New York Tax Free Money Market Fund will not invest less than 80% of its net
assets in securities the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax,
including AMT obligations.

The above limitations cannot be changed unless authorized by the Board of
Trustees (Board) and by the "vote of a majority of its outstanding voting
securities," as defined by the 1940 Act. The following limitations, however, may
be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be
notified before any material change in these limitations becomes effective.

Buying on Margin

     U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, Money Market Fund and New York Tax Free
     Money Market Fund: The Funds will not purchase securities on margin,
     provided that the Funds may obtain short-term credits necessary for the
     clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

     New York Municipal Bond Fund, U.S. Government Bond Fund, Large Cap Value
     Fund, and Large Cap Growth Fund: The Funds will not purchase securities on
     margin, provided that the Funds may obtain short-term credits necessary for
     the clearance of purchases and sales of securities, and further provided
     that the Funds may make margin deposits in connection with its use of
     financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap
     transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments.

     Mid Cap Stock Fund: The Fund will not purchase on margin, provided that the
     Fund may obtain short-term credits necessary for the clearance of purchases
     and sales of securities, and further provided that the Fund may make margin
     deposits in connection with its use of financial options and futures,
     forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial
     contracts or derivative instruments.

Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money
As an operating (non-fundamental) policy, the New York Tax Free Money Market
Fund does not anticipate entering into reverse repurchase agreements in excess
of 5% of its net assets.

Illiquid Securities
A Fund may not purchase or acquire any security if, as a result, more than 15%
of its net assets would be invested in securities that are illiquid.

Dealing in Puts and Calls
The New York Tax Free Money Market Fund will not write or purchase put or call
options.

Purchasing Securities to Exercise Control
The New York Tax Free Money Market Fund will not invest in any issuer for
purposes of exercising control or management.

Borrowing Money
The New York Tax Free Money Market Fund will not borrow money for investment
leverage, but rather as a temporary, extraordinary, or emergency measure or to
facilitate management of the portfolio by enabling the Fund to meet redemption
requests when the liquidation of portfolio assets is deemed to be inconvenient
or disadvantageous. The Fund will not purchase any securities while borrowings
in excess of 5% of the value of its total assets are outstanding. The New York
Tax Free Money Market Fund does not anticipate entering into reverse repurchase
agreements in excess of 5% of its net assets.

Pledging Assets
The Funds will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any of their assets,
provided that this shall not apply to the transfer of securities in connection
with any permissible borrowing or to collateral arrangements in connection with
permissible activities.

Investing in Other Investment Companies
The Funds may invest their assets in securities of other investment companies,
including ETFs, as an efficient means of carrying out their investment policies.
It should be noted that investment companies incur certain expenses, such as
management fees, and, therefore, any investment by the Funds in shares of other
investment companies may be subject to such duplicate expenses. At the present
time, the Funds expect that their investments in other investment companies may
include shares of money market funds, including funds affiliated with the Funds'
Advisor, and ETFs.

In applying the Funds' concentration restriction: (a) utility companies will be
divided according to their services, for example, gas, gas transmission,
electric and telephone will each be considered a separate industry; (b)
financial service companies will be classified according to the end users of
their services, for example, automobile finance, bank finance and diversified
finance will each be considered a separate industry; and (c) asset-backed
securities will be classified according to the underlying assets securing such
securities. To conform to the current view of the SEC that only domestic bank
instruments may be excluded from industry concentration limitations, as a matter
of non-fundamental policy, the Funds will not exclude foreign bank instruments
from industry concentration limits as long as the policy of the SEC remains in
effect. In addition, investments in bank instruments, and investments in certain
industrial development bonds funded by activities in a single industry, will be
deemed to constitute investment in an industry, except when held for temporary
defensive purposes. The investment of more than 25% of the value of the Funds'
total assets in any one industry will constitute "concentration."

Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to
at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting
from any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such
restriction. Except for the Large Cap Growth Fund, none of the Funds has any
present intent to borrow money in excess of 5% of the value of its net assets
during the coming fiscal year.

For purposes of its policies and limitations, the Funds consider certificates of
deposit and demand and time deposits issued by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank
or savings and loan having capital, surplus, and undivided profits in excess of
$100,000,000 at the time of investment to be "cash items."

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS - ALL OTHER FUNDS (EXCEPT PRIME MONEY MARKET FUND)
====================================================================================

The following investment restrictions may be changed only by a vote of the
majority of the outstanding Shares of a Fund.

All Funds except Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Maryland Municipal Bond Fund
and New York Municipal Bond Fund will not:

1. Purchase securities of any one issuer, other than obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government (and "regulated investment companies" as
defined in the Code for each Fund except Small Cap Stock Fund and Short Duration
Government Bond Fund), its agencies or instrumentalities, if, immediately after
such purchase, more than 5% of a Fund's total assets would be invested in such
issuer or the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of the issuer, except that 25% or less of a Fund's total assets may be invested
without regard to such limitations. There is no limit to the percentage of
assets that may be invested in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or other obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

2. Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25% of a Fund's total
assets at the time of purchase to be invested in securities of one or more
issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry,
provided that (a) there is no limitation with respect to obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, and
repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities (and "regulated investment companies" as defined
in the Code for each Fund except Small Cap Stock Fund and Short Duration
Government Bond Fund); (b) wholly owned finance companies will be considered to
be in the industries of their parents if their activities are primarily related
to financing the activities of their parents; (c) with respect to all Funds
except the Small Cap Stock Fund, utilities will be divided according to their
services (for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and gas, electric, and
telephone will each be considered a separate industry); and (d) with respect to
all Funds except the International Equity Fund and the Short Duration Government
Bond Fund, technology companies will be divided according to their services (for
example, medical devices, biotechnology, semi-conductor, software and
communications will each be considered a separate industry).

The Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and New York
Municipal Bond Fund will not:

1. Purchase securities of any one issuer, other than obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, if at the
end of each fiscal quarter, (a) more than 5% of the Fund's total assets (taken
at current value) would be invested in such issuer (except that up to 50% of the
Fund's total assets may be invested without regard to such 5% limitation), and
(b) more than 25% of its total assets (taken at current value) would be invested
in securities of a single issuer. There is no limit to the percentage of assets
that may be invested in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or other obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. For
purposes of this limitation, a security is considered to be issued by the
governmental entity (or entities) whose assets and revenues back the security,
or, with respect to a private activity bond that is backed only by the assets
and revenues of a non-governmental user, such non-governmental user.

2. Make investments that will result in the concentration of its investments in
the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry. For purposes
of this restriction, the term concentration has the meaning set forth in the
1940 Act, any rule or order thereunder, or any SEC staff interpretation thereof.
Government securities and municipal securities, except industrial development
bonds, will not be deemed to constitute an industry.

In addition, all Funds will not:

1. Borrow money or issue senior securities except that each Fund may enter into
reverse repurchase agreements and may otherwise borrow money or issue senior
securities as and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or any rule, order or
interpretation thereunder. (The 1940 Act currently permits each Fund to borrow
up to one-third the value of its total assets at the time of such borrowing.)

2. Make loans, except that a Fund may purchase or hold debt instruments and lend
portfolio securities in accordance with its investment objective and policies,
make time deposits with financial institutions and enter into repurchase
agreements.

3. Purchase securities on margin, except for use of short-term credit necessary
for clearance of purchases of portfolio securities, except as may be necessary
to make margin payments in connection with derivative securities transactions,
and except to the extent disclosed in the current prospectus or statement of
additional information of such Fund;

4. Underwrite the securities issued by other persons, except to the extent that
a Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter under certain securities laws in the
disposition of "restricted securities";

5. Purchase or sell real estate (although investments in marketable securities
of companies engaged in such activities and securities secured by real estate or
interests therein are not prohibited by this restriction); and

6. Purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except to the extent
disclosed in the current prospectus or statement of additional information of
such Fund.

The following investment restrictions may be changed without the vote of a
majority of the outstanding Shares of the Funds. Each Fund may not:

1. Purchase or otherwise acquire any security if, as a result, more than 15%
(10% in the case of New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund, U.S. Treasury Money
Market Fund, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money
Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund - collectively, the "Money Market
Funds") of its net assets would be invested in securities that are illiquid.

2. Purchase securities of other investment companies, except (a) in connection
with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or reorganization, and (b) to the
extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or pursuant to any exemptions therefrom.

3. Mortgage or hypothecate the Fund's assets in excess of one-third of such
Fund's total assets.

4. The Small Cap Stock Fund, the International Equity Fund and the Money Market
Funds may not engage in any short sales. Each Fund other than the Small Cap Fund
and the International Equity Fund may not engage in short sales of any
securities at any time if, immediately after and as a result of the short sale,
the market value of securities sold short by such Fund would exceed 25% of the
value of that Fund's total assets.

In applying the concentration restriction for Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund,
Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and New York Municipal Bond Fund, investments in
certain industrial development bonds funded by activities in a single industry
will be deemed to constitute investment in an industry. In addition, (a) utility
companies will be divided according to their services, for example, gas, gas
transmission, electric and telephone will each be considered a separate
industry; (b) financial service companies will be classified according to the
end users of their services, for example, automobile finance, bank finance and
diversified finance will each be considered a separate industry; and (c)
asset-backed securities will be classified according to the underlying assets
securing such securities.

If any percentage restriction or requirement described above is satisfied at the
time of investment, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting
from a change in asset value will not constitute a violation of such restriction
or requirement. However, should a change in net asset value (NAV) or other
external events cause a Fund's investments in illiquid securities to exceed the
limit set forth in this SAI for its investment in illiquid securities, such Fund
will act to cause the aggregate amount of such securities to come within such
limit as soon as reasonably practicable. In such an event, however, no Fund
would be required to liquidate any portfolio securities where such Fund would
suffer a loss on the sale of such securities.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS - PRIME MONEY MARKET FUND
====================================================================================

The following investment restrictions may be changed only by a vote of the
majority of the outstanding Shares of a Fund.

      The Prime Money Market Fund will not:

      1. Purchase securities of any one issuer, other than obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, if,
immediately after such purchase, more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would
be invested in such issuer or the Fund would hold more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of the issuer, except that 25% or less of the
Fund's total assets may be invested without regard to such limitations. There is
no limit to the percentage of assets that may be invested in U.S. Treasury
bills, notes, or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government,
its agencies or instrumentalities.

      2. Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25% of the Fund's
total assets at the time of purchase to be invested in securities of one or more
issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry,
provided that (a) there is no limitation with respect to obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, and
repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities; (b) there is no limitation with respect to
domestic bank certificates of deposit or bankers' acceptances, and repurchase
agreements secured by bank instruments; (c) wholly owned finance companies will
be considered to be in the industries of their parents if their activities are
primarily related to financing the activities of their parents; and (d)
utilities will be divided according to their services. For example, gas, gas
transmission, electric and gas, electric, and telephone will each be considered
a separate industry.

      3. Borrow money or issue senior securities except that the Fund may enter
into reverse repurchase agreements and may otherwise borrow money or issue
senior securities as and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or any rule,
order or interpretation thereunder. (The 1940 Act currently permits the Fund to
borrow up to one-third the value of its total assets at the time of such
borrowing.) So long as the Fund's borrowings, including reverse repurchase
agreements and dollar roll agreements, exceed 5% of such Fund's total assets,
the Fund will not acquire any portfolio securities.

      4. Make loans, except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt instruments
and lend portfolio securities in accordance with its investment objective and
policies, make time deposits with financial institutions and enter into
repurchase agreements.

      5. Underwrite the securities issued by other persons, except to the extent
that the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter under certain securities laws
in the disposition of "restricted securities";

      6. Purchase or sell real estate (although investments in marketable
securities of companies engaged in such activities and securities secured by
real estate or interests therein are not prohibited by this restriction); and

      7. Purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except to the
extent disclosed in the current prospectus or statement of additional
information of such Fund.

The following investment restrictions may be changed without the vote of a
majority of the outstanding Shares of a Fund.

      1. The Prime Money Market Fund may not purchase securities of other
investment companies, except (a) in connection with a merger, consolidation,
acquisition or reorganization, and (b) to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act,
or pursuant to any exemptions therefrom;

      2. The Prime Money Market Fund may not mortgage or hypothecate the Fund's
assets in excess of one-third of such Fund's total assets.

      3. The Prime Money Market Fund may not engage in any short sales.

      4. The Prime Money Market Fund will limit investments in the securities of
any single issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements
collateralized by such securities) to not more than 5% of the value of its total
assets at the time of purchase, except for 25% of the value of their total
assets which may be invested in First Tier Securities of any one issuer for a
period of up to three business days, in order to comply with Securities and
Exchange Commission regulations relating to money market funds.

      5. The Prime Money Market Fund may not purchase or otherwise acquire any
security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are illiquid.

      If any percentage restriction or requirement described above is satisfied
at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in such percentage
resulting from a change in asset value will not constitute a violation of such
restriction or requirement. However, should a change in net asset value or other
external events cause a Fund's investments in illiquid securities to exceed the
limit set forth in this Statement of Additional Information for its investment
in illiquid securities, such Fund will act to cause the aggregate amount of such
securities to come within such limit as soon as reasonably practicable. In such
an event, however, no Fund would be required to liquidate any portfolio
securities where such Fund would suffer a loss on the sale of such securities.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
The Money Market Funds may follow non-fundamental operational policies that are
more restrictive than their fundamental investment limitations, as set forth in
the prospectus and this statement of additional information, in order to comply
with applicable laws and regulations, including the provisions of and
regulations under the 1940 Act. In particular, the Money Market Funds will
comply with the various requirements of Rule 2a-7 (the Rule), which regulates
money market mutual funds. The Money Market Funds will determine the effective
maturity of their investments according to the Rule. The Money Market Funds may
change these operational policies to reflect changes in the laws and regulations
without the approval of their shareholders.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The portfolio turnover rate for each Fund is calculated by dividing the lesser
of a Fund's purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the year by the
monthly average value of the portfolio securities. The Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) requires that the calculation exclude all securities whose
remaining maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less.

<R>

For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004,  the  portfolio  turnover  rates
for each of the following Funds were as follows:
Fund                                                              2005      2004
----                                                                        ----

International Equity Fund.........................................59%       53%
Small Cap Growth Fund+............................................443%     256%
Small Cap Stock Fund............................................   90%      55%

Mid Cap Growth Fund*+............................................. 52%      99%

Mid Cap Stock Fund+............................................   210%      99%

Multi Cap Growth Fund+..........................................  264%     186%
Large Cap Growth Fund+.........................................   130%      68%

Large Cap Stock Fund*............................................. 39%       84%
Equity Index Fund.................................................    52%    76%
Large Cap Value Fund+.........................................    126%      27%

Equity Income Fund+.............................................    148%    30%

Balanced Fund.....................................................     41% 66%
Intermediate-Term Bond Fund*+..................................   197%     154%
Income Fund*+..................................................      86%   177%

Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund*+..............................    97%       99%

Maryland Municipal Bond Fund......................................    13%   17%
Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund..............................    27%       11%

New York Municipal Bond Fund......................................    41% 40%
Short Duration Government Bond Fund**+............................    83%  125%

U.S. Government Bond Fund +...................................    106%      64%



   + These Funds have higher portfolio turnover rates and therefore may incur
   higher brokerage and transaction expenses, which may adversely impact
   performance.



   *The variation in each Fund's portfolio turnover rate from 2005 to 2004 was
   due to the Funds' investment policies which by nature are conducive to either
   higher or lower portfolio turnover when appropriate under market conditions.



   **The portfolio turnover rate for the Short Duration Government Bond Fund may
   vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular year, and may
   also be affected by cash requirements for redemptions of Shares. High
   portfolio turnover rates will generally result in higher transaction costs,
   including brokerage commissions, to the Short Duration Government Bond Fund
   and may result in additional tax consequences to the Fund's shareholders.

   </R>

DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES
====================================================================================

MONEY MARKET FUNDS
The Trustees have decided that the best method for determining the value of
portfolio instruments is amortized cost. Under this method, portfolio
instruments are valued at the acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of
premium or accumulation of discount rather than at current market value.
Accordingly, neither the amount of daily income nor the NAV is affected by any
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of the portfolio. In periods of
declining interest rates, the indicated daily yield on shares of a Fund computed
by dividing the annualized daily income on the Fund's portfolio by the NAV
computed as above may tend to be higher than a similar computation made by using
a method of valuation based upon market prices and estimates. In periods of
rising interest rates, the opposite may be true.

A Fund's use of the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio instruments
depends on its compliance with certain conditions in Rule 2a-7 (the Rule)
promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act. Under the Rule, the Board must
establish procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the NAV per Share, as
computed for purposes of distribution and redemption, at $1.00 per Share, taking
into account current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective. The
procedures include monitoring the relationship between the amortized cost value
per Share and the NAV per Share based upon available indications of market
value. The Board will decide what, if any, steps should be taken if there is a
difference of more than 0.5 of 1% between the two values. The Board will take
any steps they consider appropriate (such as redemption in kind or shortening
the average portfolio maturity) to minimize any material dilution or other
unfair results arising from differences between the two methods of determining
NAV.

INCOME, BALANCED AND EQUITY FUNDS
Market values of the Income, Balanced and Equity Funds' portfolio securities are
determined as follows:

| for equity securities, according to the last sale price in the market in which
  they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the
  over-the-counter market), if available;

|     in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities,  according to the mean
  between the last closing bid and asked prices;

| futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values
  established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading
  on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally
  valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for
  the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution
  that deals in the option. The Board may determine in good faith that another
  method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market
  value;

| for fixed income securities, according to the mean between bid and asked
  prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed
  income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time
  of purchase may be valued at amortized cost; and

| for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with
  procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without
relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in
similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate,
maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or
factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent
pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or
other financial institutions that trade the securities.

TRADING IN FOREIGN SECURITIES
Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the
closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund
values foreign securities at the latest closing price on the exchange on which
they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign
currency exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the
closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined.
Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur
between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If
such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these
securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the
Funds' Board, although the actual calculation may be done by others.

WHAT DO SHARES COST?
====================================================================================

Each Equity, Balanced and Income Fund's NAV per Share fluctuates and is based on
the market value of all securities and other assets of the Fund.

The NAV for each class of Shares may differ due to the variance in daily net
income realized by each class. Such variance will reflect only accrued net
income to which the shareholders of a particular class are entitled.

HOW ARE THE FUNDS SOLD?
====================================================================================

Under the Distributor's  Contract with the Fund, the Distributor (Edgewood Services,
Inc.) offers Shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis.

RULE 12B-1 PLAN (CLASS S SHARES, INSTITUTIONAL SHARES, INSTITUTIONAL II SHARES)
<R>

As a compensation-type plan, the Rule 12b-1 Plan is designed to pay a financial
intermediary (including the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates) for
activities principally intended to result in the sale of Shares such as
advertising and marketing of Shares (including printing and disseminating
prospectuses and sales literature to prospective shareholders and financial
intermediaries) and providing incentives to financial intermediaries to sell
Shares. The Plan is also designed to cover the cost of administrative services
performed in conjunction with the sale of Shares, including, but not limited to,
shareholder services, recordkeeping services and educational services, as well
as the costs of implementing and operating the Plan. In accordance with the
Distribution Plan, the Distributor or the Funds may enter into agreements with
brokers and dealers relating to distribution and/or marketing services with
respect to the Class S Shares, Institutional Shares and Institutional II Shares
of the Funds. The Distributor or the Funds may also enter into Rule 12b-1
related agreements with administrators (including financial intermediaries,
fiduciaries, custodians for public funds, and investment advisers) to provide
distribution related and other services with respect to the Class S Shares,
Institutional Shares and Institutional II Shares. The Rule 12b-1 Plan is
expected to benefit a Fund in a number of ways. For example, it is anticipated
that the Plan will help a Fund attract and retain assets, thus providing cash
for orderly portfolio management and Share redemptions and possibly helping to
stabilize or reduce other operating expenses.

In addition, the Plan is integral to the multiple class structure of the Funds,
which promotes the sale of Shares by providing a range of options to investors.
The Funds' service providers that receive asset-based fees also benefit from
stable or increasing Fund assets.

A Fund may compensate a financial intermediary more or less than its actual
marketing and administrative expenses. In no event will a Fund pay for any
expenses of a financial intermediary that exceed the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee
of 0.25% of the Funds' average daily net assets.

For some classes of Shares, the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee that can be paid in
any one year may not be sufficient to cover the marketing-related expenses the
financial intermediary has incurred. Therefore, it may take the financial
intermediary a number of years to recoup these expenses.

</R>

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES (CLASS S SHARES, INSTITUTIONAL SHARES, INSTITUTIONAL I
SHARES) The Funds may pay financial intermediaries, including the Distributor,
the Advisor and their affiliates for providing shareholder services and
maintaining shareholder accounts. The financial intermediary may select others
to perform these services for their customers and may pay them fees.

ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
In addition to the Rule 12b-1 and/or shareholder services fees that a Fund pays
to financial intermediaries, the Distributor, its affiliate Federated Services
Company, and the Advisor and its affiliates may pay out of their own reasonable
resources and profits amounts (including items of material value) to certain
financial intermediaries. While NASD regulations limit the sales charges that
you may bear as a Fund shareholder, there are no limits with regard to the
amounts that the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates may pay out of
their own resources. You can ask your financial intermediary for information
about any payments it receives from the Distributor, the Advisor and their
affiliates for any service the financial intermediary provides.

The following examples illustrate the types of instances in which the
Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates may make additional payments to
financial intermediary.

SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
Financial intermediaries may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor,
its affiliate Federated Services Company, and the Advisor and its affiliates
(but not out of Fund assets).

Financial intermediaries may receive fees for providing distribution-related,
recordkeeping or shareholder services such as sponsoring sales, providing sales
literature, conducting training seminars for employees, and engineering
sales-related computer software programs and systems. Also, financial
intermediaries may be paid cash or promotional incentives, such as reimbursement
of certain expenses relating to attendance at informational meetings about a
Fund or other special events at recreational-type facilities, or items of
material value. These payments will be based upon the amount of Shares the
financial intermediary sells or may sell and/or upon the type and nature of
sales or marketing support furnished by the financial intermediary.

Processing Support Payments
The Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates may make payments to financial
intermediaries that sell Fund Shares to help offset their costs associated with
client account maintenance support, statement processing and transaction
processing. The types of payments that they may make under this category
include: payment of ticket charges on a per transaction basis; payment of
networking fees; and payment for ancillary services such as setting up funds on
the financial intermediaries' mutual fund trading system.

Retirement Plan Program Servicing Payments
The Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates may make payments to certain
financial intermediaries who sell Fund Shares through retirement plan programs.
A financial intermediary may perform retirement plan program services itself or
may arrange with a third party to perform retirement plan program services. In
addition to participant recordkeeping, reporting, or transaction processing,
retirement plan program services may include services rendered to a plan in
connection with fund/investment selection and monitoring; employee enrollment
and education; plan balance rollover or separation, or other similar services.

Other Benefits to Financial intermediaries
From time to time, the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates, at their
expense, may provide additional compensation to financial intermediaries that
sell or arrange for the sale of Shares. Such compensation may include financial
assistance to financial intermediaries that enable the Distributor, the Advisor
and their affiliates to participate in or present at conferences or seminars,
sales or training programs for invited employees, client and investor events and
other financial intermediary-sponsored events.

The Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates also may hold or sponsor, at
their expense, sales events, conferences and programs for employees or
associated persons of financial intermediaries and may pay the travel and
lodging expenses of attendees. The Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates
also may provide, at their expense, meals and entertainment in conjunction with
meetings with financial intermediaries. Other compensation may be offered to the
extent not prohibited by applicable laws, regulations or the rules of any
self-regulatory agency, such as the NASD.

EXCHANGING SECURITIES FOR SHARES
====================================================================================
You may contact the Distributor to request a purchase of Shares in exchange for
securities you own. The Funds reserve the right to determine whether to accept
your securities and the minimum market value to accept. The Funds will value
your securities in the same manner as it values its assets. This exchange is
treated as a sale of your securities for federal tax purposes.

SUBACCOUNTING SERVICES
====================================================================================

Certain investment professionals may wish to use the transfer agent's
subaccounting system to minimize their internal recordkeeping requirements. The
transfer agent may charge a fee based on the level of subaccounting services
rendered. Investment professionals holding Shares in a fiduciary, agency,
custodial, or similar capacity may charge or pass through subaccounting fees as
part of or in addition to normal trust or agency account fees. They may also
charge fees for other services that may be related to the ownership of Shares.
This information should, therefore, be read together with any agreement between
the customer and the investment professional about the services provided, the
fees charged for those services, and any restrictions and limitations imposed.

REDEMPTION IN KIND
====================================================================================

Although each Fund intends to pay Share redemptions in cash, it reserves the
right, as described below, to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of a Fund's portfolio securities.

Because the Funds have elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act,
each Fund is obligated to pay Share redemptions to any one shareholder in cash
only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets represented by such
Share class during any 90-day period.

Any Share redemption payment greater than this amount will also be in cash
unless the Funds' Board determines that payment should be in kind. In such a
case, the Fund will pay all or a portion of the remainder of the redemption in
portfolio securities, valued in the same way as the Fund determines its NAV. The
portfolio securities will be selected in a manner that the Funds' Board deems
fair and equitable and, to the extent available, such securities will be readily
marketable.

Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash redemption. If redemption is made
in kind, shareholders receiving the portfolio securities and selling them before
their maturity could receive less than the redemption value of the securities
and could incur certain transaction costs.

ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION
====================================================================================


VOTING RIGHTS
Each Share of a Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote.

All Shares of the Trust have equal voting rights, except that in matters
affecting only a particular Fund or class, only Shares of that Fund or class are
entitled to vote.

Trustees may be removed by the Board or by shareholders at a special meeting. A
special meeting of shareholders will be called by the Board upon the written
request of shareholders who own at least 10% of the Trust's outstanding Shares
of all series entitled to vote.

TAX INFORMATION
====================================================================================


FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Each Fund intends to meet requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not
met, it will not receive special tax treatment and will be subject to federal
corporate income tax.

Each Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax
purposes so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the
Trust's other portfolios will be separate from those realized by the Fund.


FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
If a Fund purchases foreign securities, their investment income may be subject
to foreign withholding or other taxes that could reduce the return on these
securities. Tax treaties between the United States and foreign countries,
however, may reduce or eliminate the amount of foreign taxes to which the Fund
would be subject. The effective rate of foreign tax cannot be predicted since
the amount of Fund assets to be invested within various countries is uncertain.
However, the Fund intends to operate so as to qualify for treaty-reduced tax
rates when applicable.

Distributions from a Fund may be based on estimates of book income for the year.
Book income generally consists solely of the coupon income generated by the
portfolio, whereas tax-basis income includes gains or losses attributable to
currency fluctuation. Due to differences in the book and tax treatment of
fixed-income securities denominated in foreign currencies, it is difficult to
project currency effects on an interim basis. Therefore, to the extent that
currency fluctuations cannot be anticipated, a portion of distributions to
shareholders could later be designated as a return of capital, rather than
income, for income tax purposes, which may be of particular concern to simple
trusts.

If a Fund invests in the stock of certain foreign corporations, they may
constitute Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC), and the Fund may be
subject to Federal income taxes upon disposition of PFIC investments.


TAX-FREE PORTFOLIOS: TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND, PENNSYLVANIA TAX FREE MONEY MARKET
FUND, NEW YORK TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND,  MARYLAND MUNICIPAL BOND FUND, NEW YORK
MUNICIPAL BOND FUND AND PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
If a Tax-Free Portfolio satisfies the requirement that, at the close of each
quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets
consists of securities the interest on which is excludable from gross income
under section 103(a) of the Code, it may pay "exempt-interest dividends" to its
shareholders; each Tax-Free Portfolio intends to continue to satisfy this
requirement. Those dividends constitute the portion of its aggregate dividends
(excluding capital gain distributions) equal to the excess of its excludable
interest over certain amounts disallowed as deductions. Exempt-interest
dividends are excludable from a shareholder's gross income for Federal income
tax purposes, although the amount of those dividends must be reported on the
recipient's Federal income tax return. Shareholders' treatment of dividends from
a Tax-Free Portfolio under state and local income tax laws may differ from the
treatment thereof under the Code. Investors should consult their tax advisors
concerning this matter.

Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued by a shareholder to purchase or
carry shares of a Tax-Free Portfolio is not deductible for federal income tax
purposes. Under IRS rules for determining when borrowed funds are used for
purchasing or carrying particular assets, Tax-Free Portfolio shares may be
considered to have been purchased or carried with borrowed funds even though
those funds are not directly linked to the shares.

Entities or persons who are "substantial users" (or persons related to
"substantial users") of facilities financed by private activity obligations
(PABs) should consult their tax advisors before purchasing shares of a Tax-Free
Portfolio because, for users of certain of these facilities, the interest on
those bonds is not exempt from federal income tax. For these purposes,
"substantial user" is defined to include a "non-exempt person" who regularly
uses in a trade or business a part of a facility financed from the proceeds of
PABs. Interest on certain PABs (which the Tax-Free Portfolios expect to
purchase) is treated as a Tax Preference Item, although it remains fully
tax-exempt for regular Federal income tax purposes; a portion (not expected to
exceed 20%) of each Tax-Free Portfolio's exempt-interest dividends thus may
constitute a Tax Preference Item. Interest on all tax-exempt obligations is
included in "adjusted current earnings" of corporations for purposes of the AMT.

If shares of a Tax-Free Portfolio are sold at a loss after being held for six
months or less, the loss will be disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest
dividends received on those shares, and any loss not disallowed will be treated
as long-term, instead of short-term, capital loss to the extent of any capital
gain distributions received thereon.

If a Tax-Free Portfolio invests in instruments that generate taxable interest
income, under the circumstances described in the prospectuses and in the
discussion of municipal market discount bonds below, the portion of any dividend
of that Portfolio attributable to the interest earned thereon will be taxable to
its shareholders as ordinary income to the extent of its earnings and profits,
and only the remaining portion will qualify as an exempt-interest dividend. The
exempt-interest dividend portion is determined by the ratio of (1) the net
tax-exempt income a Portfolio realizes for the entire year to (2) the aggregate
amount of distributions for the year and thus is an annual average, rather than
a day-to-day determination. Moreover, if a Tax-Free Portfolio realizes capital
gain as a result of market transactions, any distributions of the gain will be
taxable to its shareholders.

A Tax-Free Portfolio may invest in municipal bonds that are purchased, generally
not on their original issue, with market discount (that is, at a price less than
the principal amount of the bond or, in the case of a bond that was issued with
original issue discount, a price less than the amount of the issue price plus
accrued original issue discount) ("municipal market discount bonds"). If a
bond's market discount is less that the product of (1) 0.25% of the redemption
price at maturity times (2) the number of complete years to maturity after the
Tax-Free Portfolio acquired the bond, then no market discount is considered to
exist. Gain on the disposition of a municipal market discount bond purchased by
a Tax-Free Portfolio after April 30, 1993 (other than a bond with a fixed
maturity date within one year from its issuance), generally is treated as
ordinary (taxable) income, rather than capital gain, to the extent of the bond's
accrued market discount at the time of disposition. Market discount on such a
bond generally is accrued ratably, on a daily basis, over the period between the
dates of acquisition and maturity. In lieu of treating the disposition gain as
above, a Tax-Free Portfolio may elect to include market discount in its gross
income currently, for each taxable year to which it is attributable.

Up to 85% of social security and railroad retirement benefits may be included in
taxable income for recipients whose adjusted gross income (including income from
tax-exempt sources such as a Tax-Free Portfolio) plus 50% of their benefits
exceeds certain base amounts. Exempt-interest dividends from Tax-Free Portfolio
still would be tax-exempt to the extent described above; they would only be
included in the calculation of whether a recipient's income exceeded the
established amounts. Receipt of tax-exempt income may result in collateral tax
consequences to certain other taxpayers, including financial institutions,
property and casualty insurance companies, certain foreign corporations doing
business in the United States, certain S corporations with excess passive income
and individuals otherwise eligible for the earned income credit. Prospective
purchasers of Portfolio shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the
applicability of any such collateral consequences.

Shares of a Tax-Free Portfolio would not be suitable for tax-exempt institutions
and for tax-exempt retirement plans qualified under section 401 of the Code,
H.R. 10 plans and individual retirement accounts since such plans and accounts
are generally tax-exempt and, therefore, would not gain any additional benefit
from the Funds' dividends being tax-exempt.


NEW YORK TAXES
Under existing New York laws, shareholders of the New York Municipal Bond Fund
and New York Tax Free Money Market Fund will not be subject to New York State or
New York City personal income taxes on dividends to the extent that such
dividends qualify as "exempt interest dividends" under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 and represent interest income attributable to obligations of the State
of New York and its political subdivisions, as well as certain other
obligations, the interest on which is exempt from New York State and New York
City personal income taxes, such as, for example, certain obligations of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. To the extent that distributions are derived from
other income, such distributions will be subject to New York State or New York
City personal income tax.

The New York Municipal Bond Fund and New York Tax Free Money Market Fund cannot
predict in advance the exact portion of their dividends that will be exempt from
New York State and New York City personal income taxes. However, the Funds will
report to shareholders at least annually what percentage of the dividends they
actually paid is exempt from such taxes.

Dividends paid by the New York Municipal Bond Fund and New York Tax Free Money
Market Fund are exempt from the New York City unincorporated business tax to the
same extent that they are exempt from the New York City personal income tax.

Dividends paid by the Fund are not excluded from net income in determining New
York State or New York City franchise taxes on corporations or financial
institutions.

Income from the New York Municipal Bond Fund and New York Tax Free Money Market
Fund is not necessarily free from taxes in states other than New York.
Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the status of
their accounts under state and local tax laws.

Dividends paid by the New York Municipal Bond Fund and New York Tax Free Money
Market Fund that are attributable to the net interest earned on some temporary
and any realized net short-term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income.


PENNSYLVANIA TAXES
The Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund
intend to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in debt obligations
the interest on which is exempt for federal income tax purposes. In order for
the Funds to pay tax-exempt dividends for any taxable year, at least 50% of the
aggregate value of the Funds' assets at the close of each quarter of the Funds'
taxable year must consist of exempt-interest obligations.


MARYLAND TAXES
To the extent that dividends paid by the Funds qualify as exempt-interest
dividends of a regulated investment company, the portion of the exempt-interest
dividends that represents interest received by the Funds (a) on obligations of
Maryland or its political subdivisions and authorities, (b) on obligations of
the United States, or (c) obligations of certain authorities, commissions,
instrumentalities, possessions or territories of the United States, will be
exempt from Maryland state and local income taxes when allocated or distributed
to a shareholder of the Funds. In addition, gains realized by the Funds from the
sale or exchange of a bond issued by Maryland or a political subdivision of
Maryland, will not be subject to Maryland state and local income taxes.

To the extent that distributions of the Funds are attributable to sources other
than those described in the preceding paragraph, such as, for example, interest
received by the Funds on obligations issued by states other than Maryland or
capital gains realized on obligations issued by U.S. territories and possessions
and from states other than Maryland, and income earned on repurchase agreements,
such distributions will be subject to Maryland state and local income taxes.
Income earned on certain private activity bonds (other than obligations of the
State of Maryland or a political subdivision or authority thereof) which the
Funds might hold will constitute a Maryland tax preference for individual
shareholders. In addition, capital gains realized by a shareholder upon a
redemption or exchange of portfolio shares will be subject to Maryland state and
local income taxes.

</R>
INVESTMENT ADVISOR
The Advisor conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the
Funds.

The Advisor shall not be liable to the Trust or any Fund shareholder for any
losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale of any security
or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts or omissions involving
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the
duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Trust.

As required by the 1940 Act, the Funds' Board has reviewed the Funds' investment
advisory contract and subadvisory contracts. The Board's decision to approve
these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to
continue the existing arrangements. During its review of these contracts, the
Board considers many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds'
investment objectives and long term performance; the Advisor's and subadvisors'
management philosophy, personnel, and processes; the preferences and
expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the
continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; comparable fees in
the mutual fund industry; and the range and quality of services provided to the
Funds and its shareholders by the M&T organization in addition to investment
advisory services.

In assessing the Advisor's and subadvisors' performance of their respective
obligations, the Board also considers whether there has occurred a circumstance
or event that would constitute a reason for it to not renew an advisory
contract. In this regard, the Board is mindful of the potential disruptions of
the Funds' operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that
could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory
contract. In particular, the Board recognizes that most shareholders have
invested in the Funds on the strength of the Advisor's industry standing and
reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role
in providing advisory services to the Funds.

The Board also considers the compensation and benefits received by the Advisor
and subadvisors. This includes fees received for services provided to the Funds
by other entities in the M&T organization and research services received by
the Advisor and subadvisors from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as
advisory fees. In this regard, the Board is aware that various courts have
interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions
that the following factors may be relevant to an Advisor's compensation: the
nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the
performance of the fund; the Advisor's cost of providing the services; the
extent to which the Advisor may realize "economies of scale" as the fund grows
larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Advisor and its affiliates
as a result of the Advisor's relationship with the fund; performance and
expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board
members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Advisor's service and
fee. The Funds' Board is aware of these factors and takes them into account in
its review of the Funds' advisory contract.

The Board considers and weighs these circumstances in light of its substantial
accumulated experience in governing the Funds and working with the Advisor and
subadvisor on matters relating to its funds, and is assisted in its
deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. In this regard, the
Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds
and the Advisor and subadvisor. M&T provides much of this information at
each regular meeting of the Board, and furnishes additional reports in
connection with the particular meeting at which the Board's formal review of the
advisory contracts occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board
may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the
Board's evaluation of an advisory contract is informed by reports covering such
matters as: the adviser's investment philosophy, personnel, and processes; the
fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms as well as in
relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or
"peer group" funds), and comments on the reasons for performance; the fund's
expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of
the fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds,
with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and
allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the fund's portfolio
securities; the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to
the Fund by the Advisor and subadvisors and their respective affiliates;
compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service
them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the funds
and/or the Advisor and subadvisors are responding to them.

The Board also receives financial information about the Advisor and subadvisors,
including reports on the compensation and benefits the Advisor or subadvisors,
as the case may be, derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports
cover not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by
the Advisor's or subadvisor's subsidiaries for providing other services to the
Funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Funds' administrator
and transfer agent). The reports also discuss any indirect benefit the Advisor
or subadvisor may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who
execute fund trades.

The Board bases its decision to approve an advisory contract on the totality of
the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future
long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified
above are relevant to every fund, nor does the Board consider any one of them to
be determinative. Because the totality of circumstances includes considering the
relationship of each fund to the MTB family of funds, the Board does not
approach consideration of every fund's advisory contract as if that were the
only fund offered by the Advisor.

<R>

NWQ Investment Management Company LLC (NWQ), the sub-advisor for Large Cap Value
Fund, is a 97%-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (Nuveen) which,
prior to the transactions described below, was, in turn, a 78%-owned subsidiary
of The St. Paul Travelers Companies (St. Paul Travelers). Through a series of
transactions (Transaction), the last of which occurred on July 28, 2005, St.
Paul Travelers divested itself of its entire equity interest in Nuveen, causing
Nuveen to become an independent publicly-held company. Accordingly, effective
July 28, 2005, Nuveen succeeded St. Paul Travelers as the controlling
shareholder of NWQ.

The 1940 Act provides that a "change of control" of a fund's advisor or
subadvisor results in an "assignment," and a consequent automatic termination,
of the investment management agreement between the fund and the advisor.
Accordingly, as a result of the consummation, effective July 28, 2005, of the
final stage of the Transaction, the Prior Agreement dated December 7, 2004 among
the Fund, MTB Investment Advisors, Inc., as the Funds' investment advisor
(MTBIA) and NWQ, terminated on that date. In anticipation of pending termination
of the Prior Agreement, the Board, at its June 29-30, 2005 regular meeting,
approved new subadvisory agreements (New Agreements) with NWQ, having terms
substantially identical to the terms of the Prior Agreement except for the dates
of execution and termination, to take effect on the date of the termination of
the Prior Agreement (i.e., July 28, 2005).

In approving the New Agreement, the Board met at a regular meeting on June
29-30, 2005 and carefully evaluated: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the
services expected to be rendered to the Fund by NWQ; (2) the distinct investment
objective and policies of the Fund; (3) the history, organizational structure,
financial condition and reputation of NWQ, and the qualification and background
of NWQ's personnel; (4) the practices and policies of NWQ with respect to
selecting brokers and executing trades; (5) certification by NWQ of the
existence and adequacy of an advisor compliance program under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940; (6) any regulatory, compliance or litigation matters; (7)
business continuity and document management programs; (8) the investment
performance records of NWQ; (9) the reasonableness of the fees to be paid to and
the profits to be realized by NWQ (including any benefits to be received by NWQ
or its affiliates in connection with soft dollar arrangements); (10) whether the
fees to be paid to NWQ were competitive with the fees they charge other clients
that are similarly managed; (11) how competitive forces in the market impacted
the ability to secure the services of NWQ and negotiate fees; (12) the extent to
which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows, and whether fee
levels reflect these economies of scale; (13) the reasonableness of the fees
that would be retained by MTBIA, before and after any voluntary waivers, and
that there would be no changes to the advisory fees charged to the Funds; and
(14) other factors deemed relevant. The Board relied upon MTBIA's report to the
Board that the nature of the services to be provided by, and the fees to be paid
to, NWQ are no less favorable to the Fund than are available from other
prospective sub-advisors, noting in that regard that all fees to NWQ will be
paid by MTBIA, and not by the Fund.

The Board's decision to approve the New Agreement reflects the exercise of its
business judgment on whether the proposed sub-advisory arrangement would be in
the best interest of the Fund. During the course of its review of these
agreements, the Board considered and relied upon many factors, among the most
material of which are those set forth above.

In particular, the Board relied upon the fact that MTBIA remains the party
primarily responsible for the performance of the Fund, through its selection and
retention (subject to approval of the Board) and continued supervision of NWQ,
and that MTBIA initially recommended to the Board the engagement of NWQ after
extensive research of numerous candidate firms. The Board also relied upon the
fact that MTBIA initially negotiated fee arrangements with NWQ on an arms-length
basis.

Finally, the Board based its decision on the following additional
considerations: (1) the fact that the terms of the New Agreement are
substantially identical to the Prior Agreement, except for the dates of
execution and termination; (2) the receipt of the representation by NWQ and
Nuveen that they are not aware of any arrangement whereby NWQ or any "interested
person" of NWQ would impose an unfair burden on the Funds within the meaning of
Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act; and (3) the receipt of a written representation
by NWQ that there is no material change to the information previously provided
to the Board in connection with the Board's initial approval of NWQ as
subadvisor to the Funds at its December 2004 regular meeting, and that the
consummation of the Transaction will not result in any change in NWQ's
relationship with the Funds, including any change in the personnel or management
of NWQ.

SUB-ADVISORS
Mid Cap Stock Fund
<R>
Prior to December 8, 2004, the Advisor delegated daily management of the Mid Cap
Stock Fund to the sub-advisor, Independence Investment LLC (Independence).

For its services under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, Independence received an
allocable portion of the advisory fee the Advisor received from the Mid Cap
Stock Fund. The allocation was based on the amount of average daily net assets
that Independence managed for the Fund. This fee was paid by the Advisor out of
the fees it received from the Fund and was not a direct Fund expense.
Independence was paid by the Advisor as follows:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
        Sub-Advisory Fee          Average Daily Net Assets of the Fund
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
              0.40%                   on assets up to $500 million
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
              0.35%               on assets in excess of $500 million
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Effective December 8, 2004, the Advisor delegated daily management of the value
component of the Mid Cap Stock Fund to a sub-advisor, LSV Asset Management
(LSV). LSV also sub-advises the value component of Small Cap Stock Fund. For its
services under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, LSV is entitled to receive an
allocable portion of the advisory fee that the Advisor receives from the Mid Cap
Stock Fund. The allocation is based on the amount of the average daily net
assets that LSV manages for the Fund. This fee is paid by the Advisor out of the
fees it receives from the Fund and is not a direct Fund expense. LSV is entitled
to be paid a fee on the value portion of the average daily net assets (ADNA) of
the Mid Cap Stock Fund it manages at the following annual rate: 0.50% on the
first $100 million of ADNA, 0.40% on the next $100 million of ADNA and 0.35% on
ADNA over $200 million. From time to time, LSV may voluntarily waive all or a
portion of its subadvisory fee in its sole discretion. In that regard, LSV has
voluntarily implemented a waiver of a portion of the subadvisory compensation it
receives from MTBIA for managing the value component of the assets of the Small
Cap Stock Fund and Mid Cap Stock Fund. The fee waiver will be calculated based
on the total subadvisory fee LSV receives from MTBIA for managing these two
funds and will reduce proportionately the subadvisory fee for each Fund based on
assets under LSV management. This fee waiver will not change the rate of the
advisory fee the Funds pay to MTBIA, but will increase the amount of the total
advisory fee that MTBIA retains absent any further voluntary waiver by MTBIA.
Large Cap Growth Fund

Prior to July 1, 2004, when the Advisor assumed daily management of the Large

the account.

Dollar value range of shares owned in the Large Cap Stock Fund: $100,001-$500,000.

Dollar value range of shares owned in the Mid Cap Growth Fund: None.

Dollar value range of shares owned in the Mid Cap Stock Fund: None

Dollar value range of shares owned in the Multi Cap Stock Fund:  None.

Compensation Structure

Compensation is comprised of a base salary and an annual incentive bonus. The
base salary is based on the job description of the position and the overall
qualifications of the individual. Mr. Pierce's performance is formally evaluated
annually and based on a variety of factors. The bonus is determined by three
components: the overall performance of M&T Bank, the overall performance of
MTBIA relative to the budget and Mr. Pierce's investment performance relative to
the benchmarks for all of the funds that he manages (including retail MTB Funds
not offered by the Variable Annuity Funds' Prospectus). The benchmarks for the
three Funds offered by the Variable Annuity Funds' Prospectus are 60% to S&P
500 and 40% to Lehman Aggregate. In addition, as the Managing Director of Equity
Research, a component of Mr. Pierce's incentive bonus is based on the overall
investment performance of the team that reports to him, relative to relevant
benchmarks. The bonus can be paid in cash and/or stock options in M&T Bank
Corporation.

The performance portion of Mr. Pierce's incentive bonus is based on the time
weighted rates of return for the funds he manages compared to the relevant
indices with the heaviest emphasis on the current year results. Prior period
results are a factor to the extent that they build an argument for additional
compensation based on a superior long-term track record.

Compensation Structure

The portfolio manager's performance is formally evaluated annually and based on
a variety of factors. Mr. Ashcroft's compensation is based upon a base salary
and an annual incentive bonus. The fixed salary is based on the job description
of the position and overall qualifications of the individual. For the year ended
December 31, 2004, his bonus was based on the Fund's performance and how his
stock selection fared in this and other portfolios, in the sectors which he
covers as an analyst (Energy, Consumer Staples), relative to relevant
benchmarks.

The performance portion of Mr. Ashcroft's bonus is based on the time weighted
rates of return for the funds he manages compared to the S&P Barra Growth
Index with the heaviest emphasis on current year results. Prior period results
are a factor to the extent that they build an argument for additional
compensation based on a superior long term track record.

Compensation Structure

The portfolio manager's performance is formally evaluated annually and based on
a variety of factors. Mr. Grimes' compensation is comprised of a base salary and
an annual incentive bonus. The base salary is based on the job description of
the position and the overall qualifications of the individual. For the year
ended December 31, 2004, Mr. Grimes' bonus was a contractual amount determined
during discussions at his hiring. The bonus going forward will be determined by
three components: the overall performance of M&T Bank, the overall
performance of MTBIA relative to budget; and his investment performance relative
to the S&P Barra Growth Index, the benchmark for all of the funds that he
manages. In addition, as the Managing Director of Equity Portfolio Management, a
component of his incentive bonus is based on the overall investment performance
of the team that reports to him, relative to relevant benchmarks. The bonus can
be paid in cash and/or stock options in M&T Bank Corporation.

Compensation Structure

Compensation is comprised of a base salary and an annual incentive bonus. The
base salary is based on the job description of the position and the overall
qualifications of the individual. Mr. Tompkins' performance is formally
evaluated annually and based on a variety of factors. The bonus is determined by
three components: the overall performance of M&T Bank, the overall
performance of MTBIA relative to the budget and Mr. Tompkins' investment
performance relative to the benchmarks for the fund that he manages. The

results are a factor to the extent that they build an argument for additional
compensation based on a superior long-term track record.

Conflicts of Interest (MTBIA Portfolio Managers)

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has
day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account.
More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented
with the following potential conflicts:

o     The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager
      devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account.
      MTBIA seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention
      of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular
      investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a
      particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment
      models.

o     If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which
      may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to
      take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled
      purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these
      situations, MTBIA has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio
      transactions across multiple accounts.

o     With respect to many of its clients' accounts, MTBIA determines which broker
      to use to execute transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best
      execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other
      accounts, MTBIA may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of
      brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In
      these cases, MTBIA may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a
      Fund and other accounts, which may temporarily affect the market price of the
      security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of
      the Fund or the other accounts.

o     The Fund is subject to different regulation than the other pooled investment
      vehicles and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. As a
      consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, the Fund may not
      be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to
      engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed
      by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest
      may arise where MTBIA has an incentive, such as a performance-based
      management fee, which MTBIA may charge in the future to some accounts, with
      respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management
      responsibilities.

MTBIA has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address
these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures
will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

the conflicts of interest in managing the Managed Allocation Funds.

Compensation Structure

NWQ's portfolio managers participate in a highly competitive compensation
structure with the purpose of attracting and retaining the most talented
investment professionals and rewarding them through a total compensation program
as determined by the firm's executive committee. The total compensation program
consists of both a base salary and an annual bonus that can be a multiple of the
base salary. The portfolio manager's performance is formally evaluated annually
and based on a variety of factors. Bonus compensation is primarily a function of
the firm's overall annual profitability and the individual portfolio manager's
contribution as measured by the overall investment performance of client
portfolios, an objective review of stock recommendations and the quality of
primary research, and subjective review of the professional's contributions to
portfolio strategy, teamwork, collaboration and work ethic.

The total compensation package includes the availability of an equity-like
incentive for purchase (whose value is determined by the increase in
profitability of NWQ over time) made to most investment professionals. NWQ is a
majority-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., which has augmented this
incentive compensation annually through individual awards of a stock option
pool, as determined through a collaborative process between Nuveen Investments
and the NWQ executive committee.

Compensation Structure

NWQ's portfolio managers participate in a highly competitive compensation
structure with the purpose of attracting and retaining the most talented
investment professionals and rewarding them through a total compensation program
as determined by the firm's executive committee. The total compensation program
consists of both a base salary and an annual bonus that can be a multiple of the
base salary. The portfolio manager's performance is formally evaluated annually
and based on a variety of factors. Bonus compensation is primarily a function of
the firm's overall annual profitability and the individual portfolio manager's
contribution as measured by the overall investment performance of client
portfolios, an objective review of stock recommendations and the quality of
primary research, and subjective review of the professional's contributions to
portfolio strategy, teamwork, collaboration and work ethic.

The total compensation package includes the availability of an equity-like
incentive for purchase (whose value is determined by the increase in
profitability of NWQ over time) made to most investment professionals. NWQ is a
majority-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., which has augmented this
incentive compensation annually through individual awards of a stock option
pool, as determined through a collaborative process between Nuveen Investments
and the NWQ executive committee.

As of December 31, 2004, NWQ had six institutional accounts that have investment
management fees calculated in part on the performance of the account versus a
benchmark ("performance based fees accounts"). The performance based fee
accounts are managed identically to other institutional accounts within the same
strategy and there are no additional investment risks taken in conjunction with
this type of investment management fee. The portfolio manager who manages these
performance based fee accounts does not receive any additional compensation from
these accounts based on any performance fees received from such accounts.

Conflicts of Interest

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has
day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account.
More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented
with the following potential conflicts:

o     The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager
      devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. NWQ
      seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of
      portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular
      investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a
      particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment
      models.

o     If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which
      may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to
      take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled
      purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these
      situations, NWQ has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio
      transactions across multiple accounts.

o     With respect to many of its clients' accounts, NWQ determines which broker to
      use to execute transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best
      execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other
      accounts, NWQ may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of
      brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In
      these cases, NWQ may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a
      Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price of the
      security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of
      the Fund or the other accounts.

o     The Fund is subject to different regulation than the other pooled investment
      vehicles and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. As a
      consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, the Fund may not
      be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to
      engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed
      by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest
      may arise where NWQ has an incentive, such as a performance-based management
      fee, which relates to the management of some accounts, with respect to which
      a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.

NWQ has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address
these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures
will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Compensation Structure (Mazama)

Mazama's compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly skilled
investment professionals. The compensation is structured to maximize performance
and keep the interests of each member of the portfolio management team aligned
with those of the clients.

Each Portfolio Manager and Research Analyst ("Investment Team") receives a base
salary representing 20-30% of cash compensation and a performance based
incentive representing 70-80% of cash compensation. The performance based
incentive compensation is based on the portfolio management fees received by
Mazama for all accounts under management.

Equity incentives have been a significant part of Mazama's compensation plan
since the firm's inception. In total, including founding equity, the Investment
Team represents over 70% of the equity of the firm on a fully diluted basis.
Every member of the Investment Team is either a direct equity owner or an option
holder or both.

The Investment Team manages the portfolios in aggregate terms, focusing on the
overall strategy, which is then implemented at the portfolio level. In other
words, the Investment Team does not distinguish between different accounts
within each investment style/strategy with respect to compensation. Instead,
they are compensated based on overall fees received by the firm. This incentive
compensation structure keeps each member of the team focused on the relative
performance of the aggregate portfolio versus its benchmark. Cash compensation
increases as assets under management increase, whether by appreciation of by
attracting new clients, both of which are accomplished by achieving higher than
average excess returns. Excess returns are measured as the difference between
the portfolio returns and those of the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Conflicts of Interest (Mazama)

As every member of the Investment Team has day-to-day management
responsibilities with respect to more than one account and more than one
investment strategy, actual or apparent conflicts may arise.
 The compensation paid to Mazama for managing the Fund is based on a percentage
of assets under management rather than a share of the gains. As described above,
members of the Investment Team, as equity owners and by receiving a share of
portfolio management fees, benefit from Mazama's revenues and profitability.
Conflicts of interest can arise to the extent that larger client accounts
generate more fees and potentially larger profits for Mazama compared to small
accounts. One or more accounts may also pay fees based on a percentage of assets
that can increase and decrease based on performance against a benchmark index.
Despite these differences Mazama believes that its trade allocation and other
compliance procedures effectively address any related conflicts of interest.
Otherwise, no member of the Investment Team is compensated in a way that would
add to those conflicts of interest by creating an incentive to favor particular
accounts over other accounts.
 Execution and research services provided by brokers may not always be utilized
in connection with the Fund or with other client accounts that may have paid the
commission or a portion of the commission to the broker providing the services.
Mazama allocates brokerage commissions for these services in a manner that it
believes is fair and equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to
each of its clients.

If a member of the Investment Team identifies a limited investment opportunity
that may be suitable for more than just the Fund or another client account, the
Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity. To mitigate
this conflict of interest, Mazama aggregates orders for the Fund with orders
from each of its other client accounts participating in the same strategy in
order to ensure that clients are treated fairly and equitably over time and
consistent with its fiduciary obligations to each of its clients.
 Mazama has adopted policies and procedures to address and prevent the above
conflicts of interest; however there is no guarantee that such procedures will
detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Compensation Structure

The portfolio managers' compensation consists of a salary and a discretionary
bonus. The base salary is based on the job description and the overall
qualifications, experience and tenure at LSV, of the individual. Each of the
portfolio managers is a partner of LSV and thereby receives a portion of the
overall profit of the firm as part of his ownership interests.

The bonus is based upon the profitability of the firm and individual
performance. Individual performance is subjective and may be based on a number
of factors, such as the individual's leadership and contribution to the
strategic planning and development of the investment group.

Conflicts of Interest
The portfolio managers' management of "other accounts" may give rise to
potential conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the
Fund's investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the other accounts,
on the other. The other accounts may have the same investment objective as the
Fund. Therefore, a potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the
identical investment objectives, whereby the portfolio managers could favor one
account over another. Another potential conflict could include the portfolio
managers' knowledge about the size, timing and possible market impact of Fund
trades, whereby a portfolio manager could use this information to the advantage
of other accounts and to the disadvantage of the Fund. In addition, it is also
possible that a potential conflict of interest may arise because the portfolio
managers manage an account with a performance-based management fee in addition
to the Fund and other accounts without a performance-based fee. However, LSV has
established policies and procedures to ensure that the purchase and sale of
securities among all accounts it manages are fairly and equitably allocated.
Investment decisions are made by LSV's quantitative process separately for each
portfolio based upon its current holdings, investment parameters and the
portfolio's expected return as calculated by LSV's quantitative system. Product
rebalancing takes place by product and is carried our serially for each
portfolio (including separately managed accounts, unregistered funds and
investment companies) invested in that product, generally beginning with the
portfolio with the lowest expected return. Therefore, those portfolios which
need the highest level of expected return improvement generally have first
access to the widest set of investment opportunities. However, because LSV does
not view an individual stock as important by itself, the concept of a limited
investment opportunity is not applicable to LSV's investment approach.
LSV may be in the position of buying or selling the same security for a number
of its clients at roughly the same time. Because of market fluctuations, the
prices obtained on such transactions within a single day may vary substantially.
In order to more equitably allocate the effects of such market fluctuations, for
certain transactions, LSV may use an "averaging" procedure. Under this
procedure, purchases or sales of a particular security for a client's account
will at times be combined with purchases or sales of the same security for other
clients on the same day. For aggregated trades that are partially filled, shares
will be allocated pro-rata among participating accounts that day, based upon
their pro-rata share of the order. All allocations are subject to change as a
result of either cash considerations or the use of round lots.
There are no material conflicts created by the Portfolio Manager's compensation
structure. LSV does not utilize soft dollars.

Compensation Structure

The compensation received by portfolio managers at UBS Global AM, including Mr.
Madsen, includes a base salary and incentive compensation based on their
personal performance. UBS Global AM's compensation and benefits programs are
designed to provide its investment professionals with incentives to excel, and
to promote an entrepreneurial, performance-oriented culture. They also align the
interests of the investment professionals with the interests of UBS Global AM's
clients. Overall compensation can be grouped into four categories:

o     Competitive salary, benchmarked to maintain competitive compensation
      opportunities.

o Annual bonus, tied to individual contributions and investment performance.

o UBS equity awards, promoting company-wide success and employee retention.

o     Partnership Incentive Program (PIP), a phantom-equity-like program for key
      senior staff.

Base salary is used to recognize the experience, skills and knowledge that the
investment professionals bring to their roles. Salary levels are monitored and
adjusted periodically in order to remain competitive within the investment
management industry.

Annual bonuses are strictly and rigorously correlated with performance. As such,
annual incentives can be highly variable, and are based on three components: (1)
the firm's overall business success; (2) the performance of the respective asset
class and/or investment mandate; and (3) an individual's specific contribution
to the firm's results. UBS Global AM strongly believes that tying bonuses to
both long-term (3-year) and shorter-term (1-year) portfolio performance closely
aligns the investment professionals' interests with those of UBS Global AM's
clients.

UBS AG Equity. Senior investment professionals, such as Mr. Madsen, may receive
a portion of their annual performance-based incentive in the form of deferred or
restricted UBS AG shares or employee stock options. UBS Global AM believes that
this reinforces the critical importance of creating long-term business value and
also serves as an effective retention tool as the equity shares typically vest
over a number of years.

Broader equity share ownership is encouraged for all employees through "Equity
Plus." This long-term incentive program gives employees the opportunity to
purchase UBS stock with after-tax funds from their bonus or salary. Two UBS
stock options are given for each share acquired and held for two years. UBS
Global AM feels this engages its employees as partners in the firm's success,
and helps to maximize its integrated business strategy.

Partnership Incentive Program (PIP). Designed to promote an entrepreneurial
culture and drive long-term thinking, the PIP is a phantom equity-like program
for key senior staff (approximately top 2%). By tying compensation to overall
firm performance over the mid- to longer-term, the program offers significant
compensation opportunities for UBS Global AM's senior staff. Mr. Madsen is
eligible for this program.

Conflicts of Interest

The management of the Fund and other accounts could result in potential
conflicts of interest if the Fund and other accounts have different objectives,
benchmarks and fees because the portfolio manager and his team must allocate
time and investment expertise across multiple accounts, including the Fund. The
portfolio manager and his team manage the Fund and other accounts utilizing a
model portfolio approach that groups similar accounts within a model portfolio.
The Advisor manages accounts according to the appropriate model portfolio,
including where possible, those accounts that have specific investment
restrictions. Accordingly, portfolio holdings, position sizes, and industry and
sector exposures tend to be similar across accounts, which may minimize the
potential for conflicts of interest.

If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be
suitable for more than one account or model portfolio, the Fund may not be able
to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled
purchase or sale orders across all eligible model portfolios and accounts. To
deal with these situations, the Advisor has adopted procedures for allocating
portfolio trades across multiple accounts to provide fair treatment to all
accounts.

The management of personal accounts by a portfolio manager may also give rise to
potential conflicts of interest. The Advisor and the Fund have adopted Codes of
Ethics that govern such personal trading but there is no assurance that the
Codes will adequately address all such conflicts.

Compensation Structure

As a boutique firm, DRZ has been able to create an entrepreneurial atmosphere
that allows for significant personal and professional growth for all employees.
The compensation structure consists of a base salary and a profit sharing
program, which is based on firm profitability and individual contribution.
Portfolio Managers' bonuses are tied to product performance and stock selection
versus the benchmark. Performance is based on outperformance of an appropriate
index. Subjective measurement is also included. Portfolio Managers are not
compensated for bringing in new business. DRZ's compensation structure aligns
their portfolio managers and analysts' interests with the interest of their
clients.

Portfolio Managers' bonuses are tied in part to product outperformance of the
Russell 1000 Value and individual stock selection outperformance over a 12 month
period.

Conflicts of Interest

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has
day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account.
More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented
with the following potential conflicts:

o     The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager
      devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account.
      DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc. seeks to manage such competing interests
      for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio
      managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most accounts
      managed by a portfolio manager in a particular investment strategy are
      managed using the same investment models.

o     If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which
      may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to
      take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled
      purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these
      situations, DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc. has adopted procedures for
      allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts.

o     With respect to many of its clients' accounts, DePrince, Race & Zollo,
      Inc. determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent
      with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with
      respect to certain other accounts, DePrince Race & Zollo Inc.  may be
      limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be
      instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases,
      DePrince Race & Zollo Inc. may place separate, non-simultaneous,
      transactions for a Fund and other accounts, which may temporarily affect the
      market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to
      the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.

o     The Fund is subject to different regulation than the other pooled
      investment vehicles and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager.
      As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, the Fund
      may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or
      transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as the
      other accounts managed by the portfolio manager.

DePrince Race & Zollo Inc. has adopted certain compliance procedures which
are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee
that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict
arises.

CODE OF ETHICS RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL TRADING
As required by SEC rules, the Funds, their Adviser and Distributor have adopted
codes of ethics. These codes govern securities trading activities of investment
personnel, Trustees, and certain other employees. Although they do permit these
people to trade in securities, including those that the Funds could buy, they
also contain significant safeguards designed to protect the Funds and their
shareholders from abuses in this area, such as requirements to obtain prior
approval for, and to report, particular transactions.

VOTING PROXIES ON FUND PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The Board has delegated to the Advisor authority to vote proxies on the
securities held in the Fund's portfolio. The Board has also approved the
Advisor's policies and procedures for voting the proxies, which are set forth in
their entirety below.


                          MTB INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC.
                               PROXY VOTING POLICY

                                  INTRODUCTION
      MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. acknowledges that among its duties as a
fiduciary to its clients is the obligation to protect the interests of its
clients by voting the shares held by its clients' accounts. In order to ensure
that shares are voted in all appropriate circumstances, Adviser will exercise
voting discretion as to all shares unless voting discretion is specifically
reserved for the client or assigned to a third party in the advisory contract.
To ensure that shares are voted in a consistent manner and in the best interest
of its clients, Adviser has adopted this Proxy Voting Policy.

                         GENERAL STANDARDS AND APPROACH
      Each year, the Adviser receives hundreds of proxy solicitations with
respect to voting securities held in client accounts. The matters to be voted
upon may be proposals of management or of stockholders, and cover a diverse
assortment of complex issues. Whether the interests of shareholders are best
served by a vote "for" or "against" a proposal often depends upon the context,
the effects that adoption could have on the company's business, and the
motivations of the parties making the proposal. These determinations require a
considerable investment of time, resources and expertise.
      Given the sheer volume of proxies, and the broad spectrum of issues to be
voted upon, the proxy voting process represents a considerable administrative
burden. In order to efficiently discharge its duty to vote proxies, Adviser has
engaged a third party, Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. ("ISS") to
perform the function of analyzing and providing recommendations on voting
proxies.
      ISS is the acknowledged industry leader in assisting institutional
shareholders with the types of proxy analysis described above. Adviser has
reviewed the policies and considerations applied by ISS in voting proxies and
found them to be fully consistent with the policies of Adviser, which are set
forth in detail herein. Accordingly, Adviser will generally follow the ISS
recommendations in voting proxies.
      In general, Adviser believes that it is in the best interests of its
clients to vote its clients' shares so as to promote the alignment of the
interests of corporate management with the interests of its shareholders, to
improve the accountability of corporate management to its shareholders, to
reward good performance by management, and to approve proposals that Adviser
believes will result in financial rewards for its clients.
      Adviser reserves the right to override any voting policy stated below when
it believes that a vote contrary to a policy would be in the best interest of
Adviser's clients. Any vote contrary to a stated policy must be approved by the
Trade Management Oversight Committee of the Adviser's Board of Directors, or
that Committee's designee. A written summary of the considerations in making the
voting decision should be prepared and retained with the records of the proxy.
      Adviser believes that addressing its proxy voting obligations as described
in this Proxy Voting Policy will promote the best interests of shareholders, and
therefore, will be in the best interests of Adviser's clients.


                              CONFLICTS OF INTEREST


      Adviser may have a conflict of interest in voting a particular proxy. A
conflict of interest could arise, for example, as a result of a business
relationship with a company, or a direct or indirect business interest in the
matter being voted upon, or as a result of a personal relationship with
corporate directors or candidates for directorships. Whether a relationship
creates a material conflict of interest will depend upon the facts and
circumstances.
      The Trade Management Oversight Committee has reviewed a copy of the ISS
policies, procedures and practices regarding potential conflicts of interest
that could arise in ISS proxy voting services to Adviser as result of business
conducted by ISS. The Trade Management Oversight Committee believes that the
policies, procedures and practices followed by ISS minimize the potential
conflicts of interest by ISS in making voting recommendations to Adviser.
      Whenever a portfolio manager determines that it is in a client's best
interest to vote on a particular proposal in a manner other than in accordance
with the guidelines set forth in this Proxy Voting Policy, or the policy does
not address how to vote on the proposal, the portfolio manager shall present the
matter to the Trade Management Oversight Committee, which shall be responsible
for evaluating information relating to conflicts of interest in connection with
the voting of the client proxy.
      For purposes of identifying conflicts under this policy, the Trade
Management Oversight Committee will rely on publicly available information about
a company and its affiliates, information about the company and its affiliates
that is generally known by employees of Adviser, and other information actually
known by a member of the Trade Management Oversight Committee.
      In the event that the Trade Management Oversight Committee determines that
Adviser has a material conflict of interest with respect to a proxy proposal,
then Adviser shall either:
            1. Vote on the proposal in accordance with the recommendation of the
      Trade Management Oversight Committee or that committee's designee;
            OR
            2. Prior to voting on the proposal, either: (i) Contact an
            independent third party (such as another plan
      fiduciary) to recommend how to vote on the proposal and will vote in
      accordance with the recommendation of such third party (or have the third
      party vote such proxy); or
            (ii) Fully disclose the nature of the conflict to the client(s), and
      obtain the client's consent as to how Adviser will vote on the proposal
      (or otherwise obtain instructions from the client as to how the proxy on
      the proposal should be voted).
      Adviser may not address a material conflict of interest by abstaining from
voting, unless the Trade Management Oversight Committee (or that committee's
designee) has determined that not voting the proxy is in the best interest of a
client. However, as indicated above, there may be other circumstances where
Adviser determines that refraining from voting a proxy is in the client's best
interest and the existence of a material conflict of interest shall not affect
such a determination.
      The Trade Management Oversight Committee shall document the manner in
which proxies involving a material conflict of interest have been voted by
Adviser as well as the basis for any determination that Adviser does not have a
material conflict of interest in respect of a particular matter.
                                 ROUTINE MATTERS
               VOTING FOR DIRECTOR NOMINEES IN UNCONTESTED ELECTIONS. Adviser
will vote for the candidates nominated by management in uncontested elections
unless there is a basis or reason for opposing such candidates, in which event
Adviser shall withhold its vote for such candidates. To the extent practicable,
Adviser will consider the following factors when assessing reasons for opposing
candidates in uncontested elections and making case-by-case voting
determinations in contested elections:
    o Long-Term Corporate Performance Record. When Adviser believes that there
      has been consistent underperformance by a company, Adviser will consider
      the potential for effecting change when evaluating incumbent candidates
      and first-time candidates. As part of this consideration, Adviser will
      examine the company's financial performance measures, market-based
      performance measures, S&P Common Stock rankings, and any other
      applicable performance measures.
    o Composition of the Board and Key Board Committees. Adviser will consider a
      director to be independent if he or she has no connection to the company
      other than a board seat. Even if the board member has served on the board
      for over ten years, he/she will still be considered to be an independent
      director.
      Key board committees such as audit, compensation, and nominating
      committees should be composed entirely of independent directors. Votes for
      insider directors will normally be withheld if they serve on any of these
      committees. In addition, votes for inside directors should be withheld in
      instances where the full board serves as the audit, compensation, or
      nominating committee or in instances where the company does not have one
      of these committees.
    o Attendance at Meetings. An incumbent candidate should have attended at
      least 75 percent of the board and committee meetings. Mitigating
      circumstances for absenteeism may include the convening of relatively few
      meetings and other reasonable justifications that are not likely to
      reoccur.
    o Director's Investment in the Company. Ownership of a significant block of
      stock is a positive factor because it tends to align the director's
      interests with those of the shareholders. The lack of any stock holding or
      a small holding may be a negative factor in the absence of an explanation.
      Stock ownership should not be a factor in the case of candidates, such as
      academics or religious leaders, who may be qualified to serve but lack the
      wealth to buy stock.
    o Retired Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). Nominations of retired CEOs to
      boards of the companies they headed are generally not favored but may be
      supported in exceptional circumstances. For example, the nomination of a
      retired CEO with an outstanding record of performance by a nominating
      committee composed of independent directors would be viewed more favorably
      than the nomination of a former CEO with a lackluster performance record
      by directors who owe their positions to him.
    o Number of Other Board Seats. A candidate generally should not serve on
      more than four boards at once (except boards of registered investment
      companies that are a family of funds), especially if he or she holds a
      regular, full-time position apart from being a director.
    o Other Factors. Any other factor bearing on the qualifications of candidates
      to serve as directors, including but not limited to conviction of a crime,
      payment of greenmail, appearance of entrenchment, interlocking directorships,
      etc., may be considered.
                               RATIFYING AUDITORS.
Adviser will vote for resolutions to ratify auditors, unless there is reason to
believe the independent auditor has rendered an opinion that is neither accurate
nor indicative of the company's financial position.
               CHANGES IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
                       MAJORITY OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS.
Adviser will generally vote for shareholder resolutions seeking boards composed
of a majority of independent directors. Adviser will vote for shareholder
resolutions seeking board audit committees, compensation committees, and
nomination committees composed exclusively of independent directors.
Exceptions to the rule may be made where the board is already sufficiently
independent and is fulfilling its fiduciary duty making support of such
proposals unnecessary.
                       STAGGERED VERSUS ANNUAL ELECTIONS.
Adviser will vote for proposals to repeal classified boards and elect all
directors annually. Adviser will vote against proposals to classify boards.
A classified Board is one in which all directors are not elected in the same
year; rather the directors' terms of office are staggered. This eliminates the
possibility of removing entrenched management at any one annual election of
directors.
                               CUMULATIVE VOTING.
Adviser will vote for proposals to permit cumulative voting in cases where there
are insufficient good governance provisions and against in cases where there are
sufficient good governance provisions.
Adviser will vote against proposals to eliminate cumulative voting. Most
corporations provide that shareholders are entitled to cast one vote for each
director for each share owned, which is the so-called "one share, one vote"
standard. A minority of companies allow cumulative voting, which permits
shareholders to distribute the total number of votes they have in any manner
they see fit when electing directors. For example, if a shareholder owns 50,000
shares and three director seats are open for election, the shareholder may cast
150,000 votes for one candidate (or otherwise distribute his 150,000 votes as he
desires). While cumulative voting can be an important tool to promote management
accountability, the need for such a policy should be evaluated in concert with
the company's other governance provisions. If there are other safeguards to
ensure that shareholders have reasonable access and input into the process of
nominating and electing directors, cumulative voting in not essential. However,
it would be necessary for a company's governing documents to contain the
following provisions for Adviser to vote against providing for cumulative
voting: (a) Annually elected board; (b) Majority of board composed of
independent directors; (c) Nominating committee composed solely of independent
directors; (d) Confidential voting (however, there may be a provision for
suspending confidential voting during proxy contests); (e) Ability of
shareholders to call special meetings or to act by written consent with 90 days'
notice; (f) Absence of superior voting rights for one or more classes of stock.
For example, an unacceptable structure could consist of two classes of stock
where Class A stock was entitled to one vote per share and Class B stock was
entitled to 10 votes per share; (g) Board does not have the sole right to change
the size of the board beyond a stated range that has been approved by
shareholders; (h) Absence of shareholder rights plan that can only be removed by
the incumbent directors (dead hand poison pill); (i) (Optional) Published
statement of board governance guidelines, including a description of the process
for shareholders to submit director nominees that ensures valid nominees are
considered. In addition to these desired governance provisions, the company's
performance must be comparable to that of its peers or the board must have
demonstrated its focus on increasing shareholder value by taking action to
improve performance. For example, the board may have recently replaced
management or changed strategic direction.
                               PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.
Adviser will vote on a case-by-case basis regarding shareholder proposals
seeking preemptive rights. Preemptive rights guarantee existing shareholders the
first opportunity to purchase shares of new stock issues in the same class they
already own and in an amount equal to the percentage of stock they own. While
shareholders may not choose to exercise their right, it at least affords them
some protection from involuntary dilution of their ownership interest, as well
as an opportunity to save a brokerage commission. The absence of these rights
could cause stockholders' interest in a company to be reduced by the sale of
additional shares without their knowledge and at prices that are unfavorable to
them. Generally, we do not believe the cost of implementing preemptive rights is
justified by the value added to shareholders. In evaluating proposals on
preemptive rights, Adviser will look at the size of the company and the
characteristics of its shareholder base.
                          STOCK OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS.
Adviser will vote against shareholder resolutions requiring directors to own a
minimum amount of company stock to qualify as a director or remain on the board.
                                 TERM OF OFFICE.
Adviser will vote against shareholder proposals to limit the tenure of outside
directors.
                                   AGE LIMITS
Adviser will vote against shareholder proposals to impose mandatory retirement
age for outside directors.
           DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY PROTECTION.
Adviser will vote for proposals for indemnification and liability protection
that satisfy the following conditions: (1) the director must have acted in good
faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed was in the best interests of
the company, (2) such protection does not extend beyond legal expenses to acts
involving gross negligence or other violations of the duty of care that exceed
reasonable standards, (3) such protection does not extend to acts involving a
breach of the duty of loyalty or self dealing, (4) such protection does not
limit or eliminate entirely directors' and officers' liability for monetary
damages for violating the duty of care; and (5) such protection does not extend
to acts involving criminal activity. Adviser will vote against proposals that
are overly broad.
                          SEPARATING CHAIRMAN AND CEO.
Adviser will vote shareholder proposals requiring that the positions of chairman
and CEO be held separately on a case-by-case basis. In cases in which corporate
performance is average or better relative to a peer group and market index,
Adviser will vote against shareholder proposals to separate the positions. In
cases in which performance is below average, Adviser will generally vote for
resolutions to separate the positions, especially if the same person has held
both positions over a sustained period of underperformance.
                     SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO REMOVE DIRECTORS.
Adviser will vote against proposals that provide that directors may be removed
only for cause. Adviser will vote for proposals to restore shareholder ability
to remove directors with or without cause.
Adviser will vote against proposals that provide that only continuing directors
may elect replacements to fill board vacancies. Adviser will vote for proposals
that permit shareholders to elect directors to fill board vacancies.
Shareholders' ability to remove directors, with or without cause, is either
prescribed by a state's business corporation law, an individual company's
articles of incorporation, or its bylaws. Many companies have solicited
shareholder approval prohibiting the removal of directors except for cause
(guilty of self-dealing, fraud, or misappropriation of company assets). This
type of prohibition insulates the directors from removal by shareholders even if
the director has been performing poorly, not attending meetings, or not acting
in the best interest of shareholders. In addition, proposals will often be
bundled to contain provisions which specify that if a board vacancy exists, only
the continuing directors may appoint new directors to fill the vacancies,
further insulating the board by allowing directors to fill a vacancy of a board
member removed by shareholders.
                  SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO CALL SPECIAL MEETINGS.
Adviser will vote against proposals to restrict or prohibit shareholder ability
to call special meetings. Adviser will vote for proposals that remove
restrictions on the right of shareholders to call special meetings independently
of management. According to the Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (ISS)
database, most state corporation statutes allow shareholders to call a special
meeting when they want to take action on certain matters that arise between
regularly scheduled annual meetings. The laws in some states vest corporations
with the discretion to limit or deny altogether the right of shareholders to
call a special meeting. States that provide this right may require that the
shareholder proponent, or group of shareholders, own a specified percentage of
the outstanding shares (10 percent is a common requirement) to bring the
proposal for a special meeting to a shareholder vote. The percentage of
shareholder votes required to force the corporation to call a special meeting
varies from state to state. ISS reports that 129 of the S&P 500 companies
either do not provide for the right of shareholders to call special meetings or
place voting restrictions on the right. The remaining 371 companies allow the
right to call special meetings. Special meetings give shareholders the ability
to take such actions as removing directors, initiating a shareholder resolution,
or responding to a beneficial offer if the bidder cannot call a special meeting,
without having to wait for the next scheduled meeting. The inability to call a
special meeting could be detrimental to the interests of shareholders.
The most common management proposals regarding special meetings seek higher vote
requirements to call special meetings or elimination of the right to special
meetings. These management proposals also may contain supermajority voting
requirements for the amendment of special meeting restrictions, which
effectively lock the restrictions in place. Shareholder resolutions regarding
special meetings typically call for the restoration or expansion of the right to
call special meetings.





               SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO ALTER THE SIZE OF THE BOARD. Adviser
will vote for proposals that seek to fix the size of the board. Adviser will
vote against proposals that give management the ability to alter the size of the
board without shareholder approval.
                  SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT.
Adviser will vote against proposals to restrict or prohibit shareholders from
taking action by written consent. Adviser will vote for proposals to allow or
make easier shareholder action by written consent.
A consent solicitation is similar to a proxy solicitation: consents are mailed
to shareholders for their vote and signature, and they are then delivered to
management. The only procedural difference is that the consent process ends with
delivery of the consents. If enough consents are returned, the subject of the
consent is deemed ratified. By contrast, a proxy solicitation must end with a
meeting because proxy cards merely authorize the indicated "proxy" to cast a
vote at a shareholder meeting. A signed consent is itself a final vote and, as
such, does not require a vote by proxy at a shareholder meeting. Consent
solicitations can be advantageous to both shareholders and management because
the process is less expensive than holding a physical meeting, and shareholders
can simply respond to the proposal by mail. Institutional Shareholder Services,
Inc. (ISS) reports that 350 of the S&P 500 companies allow shareholder
action by written consent. The remaining 150 companies either do not allow
action by written consent or place restrictions on such action. Many states
require a unanimous shareholder vote for the subject of a consent solicitation
to become effective, according to ISS. In other states, consent subjects are
ratified if the consent vote matches the ratification vote required at a
shareholder meeting.
Detractors of the ability to act by written consent argue that since
shareholders are not required to provide advance notice to the SEC of their
intention to take action by written consent, a consent solicitation aimed at
replacing a board or other takeover measure can be inherently coercive because
it does not allow shareholders enough time to evaluate their actions properly.
Shareholder rights advocates counter that institutional investors possess the
expertise and resources to evaluate a consent solicitation in the allotted time.
                                 PROXY CONTESTS
                VOTING FOR DIRECTOR NOMINEES IN CONTESTED ELECTIONS. Contested
elections involving the nomination of an entire board of directors in opposition
to the current board (hostile takeover) or the nomination of a minority of
directors in opposition to the management slate (proxy contest) shall be voted
on a case-by-case basis with the vote determined by the Adviser's Trade
Management Oversight Committee or that Committee's designee.
Among the relevant considerations for a determination of the vote are the
overall long-term financial performance of the target company, management's
track record, background of the proxy contest, qualifications of director
nominees, evaluation of the positions of both sides and likelihood of
accomplishing proposed objectives, and stock ownership holdings.
                    REIMBURSING PROXY SOLICITATION EXPENSES.
Adviser will vote shareholder proposals that provide for full reimbursement for
dissidents waging a proxy contest on a case-by-case basis. Generally, the
reimbursement system is currently biased as reimbursement for incumbents is
rarely denied with reimbursement of dissidents only being paid if they gain
control of the company. Factors to be considered in determining how to vote
include the identity of persons who will pay solicitation expenses, estimated
total cost of solicitation, total expenditures to date, fees to be paid to proxy
solicitation firms, and the terms of a proxy contest settlement, if applicable.
If the request for reimbursement is after the proxy contest, consider the
percentage of the votes captured by the dissidents and management, the issues
involved, and the expected benefits resulting from the proxy contest as well as
the total amount requested in efforts to estimate a reasonable cost for lawyer
fees, professional solicitors, investment bankers, travel costs, mailing and
printing.
                                  COMPENSATION
                          EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS.
Adviser will vote on stock option plans, incentive plans, and other executive
compensation plans on case-by-case determinations of reasonableness. Adviser
will evaluate executive compensation plans by measuring shareholder value
transfer (SVT) using a Binomial Model developed by Institutional Shareholder
Services (ISS), which is a variation of the widely known Black-Scholes
mathematical option pricing formula and allows for the possibility of early
option exercise and other characteristics unique to nonpublicly traded options,
and voting power dilution (VPD). Voting power dilution is the relative reduction
in voting power as stock-based incentives are exercised and existing
shareholders' proportional ownership in a company is diluted. SVT and VPD, as
calculated by ISS, are compared to an industry-specific, market cap-based
benchmark (allowable cap) calculated by ISS. If SVT and VPD are less than the
allowable cap, Adviser will generally vote in favor of the plan; if SVT and VPD
are greater than the allowable cap, Adviser will generally vote against the
plan. Although no single factor below may be dispositive of a voting
determination, other factors to be considered are as follows:
    o Option Exercise Price. Adviser does not favor option exercise prices for
      executives that are less than 100 percent of fair market value at the
      grant date.
    o Replacing or Repricing Awards or Grants. Adviser does not favor stock
      option plans with provisions that allow the repricing of options already
      granted at a lower exercise price or that allow participants to swap
      options already granted for lower priced options. (This policy relates to
      so-called "underwater" options, for which the stock price has dropped
      below the exercise price.) An exception may be considered if the decline
      in stock price results from a market phenomenon rather than
      company-specific poor performance.
    o Omnibus or Blank Check Stock Plans. Adviser does not favor "omnibus" or
      "blank check" stock plans that give directors broad discretion to decide
      how much and what kind of stock to award, when to make awards, and to whom
      the awards should be made. (Omnibus plans authorize five or more different
      types
      of awards.)
    o Pyramiding. Adviser generally does not favor "pyramiding," a cashless form
      of stock option exercise that permits the payment for stock options with
      previously owned, appreciated shares in successive, short-term
      transactions, thus pyramiding a small stock holding into a larger holding.
    o Stock Appreciation Rights. Adviser does not favor stock appreciation
      rights, which allow the recipient to collect, in cash, the difference
      between the exercise price and the market price of an option without
      having to make a personal cash outlay to exercise the option.
    o Reload Options (also termed Restoration Options, Incremental Stock
      Ownership, or Accelerated-Ownership Options). Adviser does not favor
      reload stock options, which is a compensation scheme that grants a new
      option for each exercise of a plan participant's stock options. Reloads
      come into play only when an option holder pays to exercise with stock; the
      new option is granted for shares turned in, at the current market price.
      The risk that a plan participant will not have captured the highest stock
      price is eliminated because every time an option is exercised, another
      option replaces the exercised option. This enables the participant to
      continue to realize all the upside potential inherent in the original
      stock option grant.
    o Restricted Stock. Adviser does not favor grants of stock that are subject
      to restrictions but cost the recipient little or nothing and are not
      aligned with performance goals. Such shares are usually subject to
      forfeiture if the recipient leaves the company before a specified period
      of time. The restrictions usually lapse over three to five years, during
      which time the recipient cannot sell his shares but is typically entitled
      to vote the stock and receive dividends.
    o Change of Control Features. Adviser does not favor stock option plans that
      --------------------------
      incorporate provisions for acceleration or cash-out upon a change in control
      of the company (e.g., mergers and acquisitions).
    o Loans to Executives. Adviser generally does not favor allowance of
      corporate loans to company officers for the purpose of buying stock,
      especially if the loans are at subsidized interest rates.
    o Amendments. Adviser does not favor plans that authorize the Board of
      Directors or its Compensation Committee to materially amend a plan without
      shareholder approval.
                             DIRECTOR COMPENSATION.
Adviser will vote for director compensation plans on a case-by-case basis.
Adviser favors director compensation plans that include a large component of
stock-based compensation in proportion to the cash component. The same factors
for assessing the reasonableness of executive compensation plans may be applied
to director compensation proposals.






             SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO LIMIT EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR PAY.
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals to limit executive and director
compensation on a case-by-case basis. Adviser will vote for shareholder
proposals seeking additional disclosure of executive and director pay
information that is relevant to voting determinations under this policy.
The policy considerations identified above for voting determinations on
executive compensation plans may be relevant to determinations on shareholder
proposals to limit executive and director compensation. Adviser opposes
shareholder proposals that impose arbitrary limits on compensation.
                           GOLDEN AND TIN PARACHUTES.
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals to submit golden and tin parachutes
to shareholders for ratification. Adviser will vote on a case-by-case basis for
proposals to ratify or cancel golden or tin parachutes.
Management occasionally will propose a compensation plan that is triggered by
both a change in control of the company (e.g., hostile takeover or merger) and
termination of employment. These plans are commonly known as "golden parachutes"
in the case of top management and "tin parachutes" in the case of middle
management and other non-highly compensated employees. Shareholders should be
allowed to vote on all plans of this type. Adviser will vote against parachute
proposals that can be triggered by a mechanism or procedure that is within the
control of management or that exceed three times the annual base salary and
bonus of the recipients. The fact that a proposal includes reasonable provisions
for guaranteed retirement and other benefits should not be viewed negatively.
                     EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS (ESOP).
Adviser will vote for proposals seeking shareholder approval to implement an
ESOP or to increase authorized shares for existing ESOPs, except in cases when
the number of shares allocated to the ESOP is excessive (i.e., usually greater
than 5 percent of the outstanding shares).
ESOPs are stock bonus plans, or combinations of stock bonus plans and money
purchase pension plans, which qualify under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
ERISA, and other statutory and regulatory requirements. The plans are designed
to defer a portion of current employee income for retirement purposes.
                         EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLANS.
Adviser will vote for proposals with an offering period of 27 months or less and
voting power dilution (VPD) of ten percent or less and will vote against all
other proposals.
Employee stock purchase plans give employees an opportunity to purchase stock
(usually at a discount to market), primarily through payroll deductions. Such
plans can lead to greater commitment from employees, provide performance
incentives, and allow workers to share in the growth potential of their
employer.
                         401(k) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.
Adviser will vote for proposals to implement 401(k) savings plans for employees.
                      MERGERS AND CORPORATE RESTRUCTURINGS
                            MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS.
Adviser will normally vote with management when a corporation is merging with,
or into, or acquiring, or being acquired by another firm or company on a
friendly basis. Hostile bids will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Adviser's vote on proposed mergers or acquisitions should promote the long-term
financial interest of its clients' accounts. Among the factors to be considered
are:
    o existence of clear, long-term benefits to shareholders, such as demonstrable
      stock price appreciation;
    o whether a "fairness opinion" has been issued and, if so, its quality and the
      credibility of the provider;
    o anticipated financial and operating benefits, including synergies to be
      obtained, if any;
    o offer price;
    o preservation or elimination of shareholder rights;
    o whether insiders would acquire control blocks of stock or receive excessive
      compensation or takeover cash-outs;
    o other options that may be available.
                                  ASSET SALES.
Adviser will vote for asset sales that yield reasonable value and that serve a
stated corporate purpose, such as debt reduction, shedding an unprofitable
business, elimination of diseconomies of scale or negative synergies, raising
needed capital, etc.
Asset sales are often accompanied by an investment banker's opinion that
compares the sale transaction with similar deals. The market response to the
announcement of a proposed asset sale may also provide an indication of its
effect on shareholders.






                                   SPIN-OFFS.
Adviser will vote for spin-offs that add economic value to its clients'
investment. A spin-off is a corporate strategy that divides a segment or
division of a large company into a separate corporate entity, the shares of
which are distributed to existing shareholders as a bonus or dividend. By way of
example, a corporation may spin off a business that is unprofitable or distracts
from its core business. Among the factors that should be considered are the
following:
    o tax and regulatory advantages;
    o market reaction to the announcement of proposed spin-off; o effects of
    spin-off on parent company; o planned use of sale proceeds; o managerial
    incentives that promote entrepreneurial behavior and better
      control over operations; and
    o possible motivation to thwart takeover attempts.
                                  LIQUIDATIONS.
Adviser will vote on liquidations on a case-by-case basis after considering
management's efforts to pursue other alternatives, the appraisal value of the
assets, and the compensation plan for the executives managing the liquidation.
Although obviously not good news for long-term investors, a voluntary
liquidation is generally more attractive for shareholders than either a
bankruptcy or an offer for the company as a whole that is less than the value of
its assets.
                                APPRAISAL RIGHTS.
Adviser will vote for proposals to restore or confer rights of appraisal.
Mergers and other corporate restructuring transactions are subject to appraisal
rights in many states. Rights of appraisal provide shareholders that are not
satisfied with the terms of certain corporate transactions the right to demand a
judicial review to determine a fair value for their shares. Appraisal rights
also serve another important interest. If a majority of shareholders approve a
given transaction, the exercise of appraisal rights by a minority shareholder
will not necessarily prevent the transaction from taking place. If a small
minority of shareholders succeed in obtaining what they believe to be a fair
value, appraisal rights may benefit all shareholders. The downside of appraisal
rights is that if enough shareholders dissented and the courts found that a
transaction's terms were unfair, appraisal rights could prevent a transaction
that other shareholders had already approved.
Unless a shareholder is certain that his stock is substantially undervalued in,
for example, a merger transaction, initiating the appraisal process would not be
worth the time, trouble, and expense. The dissenting shareholder also faces the
possibility that he will receive less for his shares than the nondissenting
group, which has happened.
                          BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK.
Adviser will vote against proposals authorizing creation of new classes of
preferred stock with unspecified voting, conversion, dividend distribution, and
other rights ("blank check" preferred stock).
Adviser will vote for proposals to create blank check preferred stock in cases
where the company expressly states that the stock will not be used as a takeover
defense or carry superior voting rights.
Adviser will vote for proposals to authorize preferred stock in cases where the
company specifies the voting, dividend, conversion, and other rights of such
stock and the terms of the preferred stock appear reasonable.
Adviser will vote against proposals to increase the number of blank check
preferred shares authorized for issuance when no shares have been issued or
reserved for a specific purpose.
Adviser will vote case-by-case on proposals to increase the number of blank
check preferred shares after analyzing the number of preferred shares available
for issue given a company's industry and performance in terms of shareholder
returns. Preferred stock is technically an equity security, but has certain
features which liken it to debt instruments, such as fixed dividend payments,
seniority of claims status over common stock and, in most cases, no voting
rights (except on matters that affect the seniority of preferred stock as a
class). The terms of "blank check" preferred stock give the board of directors
the power to issue shares of preferred stock at their discretion--with voting,
conversion, distribution, and other rights to be determined by the board at the
time of issue.
            SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS REGARDING BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK. Adviser
will vote for shareholder proposals to have blank check preferred stock
placements, other than those issued for the purpose of raising capital or making
acquisitions in the normal course of business, submitted for shareholder
ratification.
                              DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS.
Adviser will vote on proposals to increase common and/or preferred stock and to
issue shares as part of a debt restructuring on a case-by-case basis. Factors
which Adviser will consider when review debt restructurings proxies include
dilution of ownership interest, change in control of the company, and potential
for the company to go bankrupt should the restructuring not be approved.






                             TENDER OFFER DEFENSES
                     SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLANS ("POISON PILLS").
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals calling for a company to submit its
poison pill for shareholder ratification. Adviser will generally vote against
management proposals to adopt poison pills and for shareholder proposals to
eliminate such poison pills. Adviser may consider supporting a poison pill if
the following factors are present:
      o 20% or higher flip-in level (a flip-in provision provides that
shareholders of the target company are given the right to purchase, at a
discount, shares of their own company should the acquirer surpass a specified
ownership threshold);

    o sunset provisions of five years or less;
      o shareholder redemption feature: If the board refuses to redeem the pill
90 days after an offer is announced, ten percent of the shares may call a
special meeting or seek a written consent to vote on rescinding the pill; and

    o no dead-hand or no-hand features.
                             FAIR PRICE PROVISIONS.
Adviser will vote proposals to adopt fair price provisions on a case-by-case
basis, evaluating factors such as the vote required to approve the proposed
acquisition, the vote required to repeal the fair price provision, and the
mechanism for determining the fair price.
Adviser will vote against fair price provisions with shareholder vote
requirements greater than a majority of disinterested shares. Standard fair
price provisions require that, absent board or shareholder approval of the
acquisition, a bidder for the company must pay the remaining shareholders the
same price for their shares as was paid to buy the control shares (usually
between 5 to 20 percent of outstanding shares) that triggered the provision.
This requirement tends to make the cost of acquisition prohibitively expensive.
An acquirer may avoid such a pricing requirement by obtaining the support of at
least a majority of disinterested shares (fair price provisions often require a
supermajority vote requirement that may effectively prevent an acquirer from
obtaining relief from shareholders).
                                   GREENMAIL.
Adviser will vote for proposals to adopt antigreenmail charter or bylaw
amendments or to otherwise eliminate a company's ability to make greenmail
payments. Adviser will vote on a case-by-case basis regarding antigreenmail
proposals when they are bundled with other charter or bylaw amendments.
Greenmail payments are targeted stock repurchases by management from a party
seeking control of the company, usually at a substantial premium over the market
value of the shares.
                                 PALE GREENMAIL.
Adviser will generally vote on a case-by-case basis for restructuring plans that
involve the payment of pale greenmail. Pale greenmail is nothing more than an
effort by management and greenmailers to disguise the true nature of their
transaction behind the veil of a restructuring or public share acquisition (as
opposed to a targeted share acquisition). In general, the company will acquire
all the shares of a certain shareholder(s) and then buy back a percentage of the
remaining shares outstanding at an amount equal to or greater than the purchase
price of the investor who targeted the company. Normally, this will result in a
drop in the share value following the transaction that is greater than any
premium received. However, since pale greenmail is typically disguised as part
of a restructuring effort, it is not easily discovered. Even when discovered,
the benefits to the proposed restructuring may outweigh the negative effects of
the proposed share repurchase. Therefore, Adviser will evaluate restructuring
plans that include the payment of pale greenmail on a case-by-case basis.
                             UNEQUAL VOTING RIGHTS.
Adviser will vote against proposals that would create different classes of stock
with unequal voting rights, such as dual class exchange offers and dual class
recapitalizations.
Adviser adheres to the "one share, one vote" philosophy: all holders of common
equity must be treated equally.
                        SUPERMAJORITY VOTE REQUIREMENTS.
Adviser will vote against management proposals to require a supermajority
shareholder vote to approve charter or bylaw amendments or to approve mergers
and other significant business combinations.
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals to lower such supermajority
requirements.
                            WHITE SQUIRE PLACEMENTS.
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals to require approval of blank check
preferred stock issues for other than general corporate purposes. White Squire
Placements are placements of large blocks of corporate securities, or blank
check preferred stock, with friendly third parties. This practice was followed
by a series of placements done before a tender offer was threatened - the white
squire placement - either to a private investor, a company's ESOP, another
corporation or to an investment fund. These placements may possibly dilute
existing shareholders' equity and voting positions.
       PROPOSALS DESIGNED TO DISCOURAGE MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS IN ADVANCE.
Adviser will generally vote against proposals that direct board members to weigh
socioeconomic and legal as well as financial factors when evaluating takeover
bids, unless the Adviser's investment mandate from the client directs Adviser to
consider social implications of the account's investments.
These provisions direct Board members to weigh socioeconomic and legal as well
as financial factors when evaluating takeover bids. This catchall apparently
means that the perceived interests of customers, suppliers, managers, etc. would
have to be considered along with those of the shareholder. These proposals may
be worded: "amendments to instruct the Board to consider certain factors when
evaluating an acquisition proposal." Directors are elected primarily to promote
and protect shareholder interests. Directors should not allow other
considerations to dilute or deviate from those interests.
                            STATE TAKEOVER STATUTES.
Adviser will vote for proposals to opt out of state takeover statutes (control
share acquisition statutes, control share cash-out statutes, freezeout
provisions, fair price provisions, stakeholder laws, and disgorgement
provisions) that are harmful to the long-term interests of shareholders.
Control Share Acquisition Statutes are a prevalent form of state-sponsored
antitakeover legislation. Such statutes function by denying shares their voting
rights when they contribute to ownership in excess of certain thresholds (e.g.,
for Pennsylvania companies, those thresholds are 20%, 33%, and 50%). Voting
rights for those shares exceeding ownership limits may only be restored by
approval of either a majority or supermajority of disinterested investors.
Control Share Cash-Out Statutes give dissident shareholders the right to
"cash-out" of their position in a company at the expense of the shareholder who
has taken a control position. In other words, when an investor crosses a preset
threshold level, remaining shareholders are given the right to sell their shares
to the acquirer, who must buy them at the highest acquiring price. Freezeout
Provisions force an investor who surpasses a certain ownership threshold in a
company (usually between ten percent and 20 percent) to wait a specified period
of time (usually two to five years) before gaining control of the company. Fair
Price Provisions contain a requirement that board and shareholder approval be
obtained for all takeover bids that do not meet predetermined fair price
standards. Stakeholder laws permit directors, when taking action, to weigh the
interests of constituencies other than shareholders - including bondholders,
employees, creditors, customers, suppliers, the surrounding community, and even
society as a whole - in the process of corporate decision making. In other
words, such laws allow directors to consider nearly any factor they deem
relevant in discharging their duties.
Disgorgement Provisions require that an acquirer or potential acquirer of more
than a certain percentage of a company's stock pay back, or disgorge to the
company, any profits realized from the sale of that company's stock purchased 24
months before achieving control status. All sales of company stock by the
acquirer occurring within a certain period of time (between 18 months and 24
months) prior to the investor's gaining control status are subject to these
recapture-of-profit provisions.
Antitakeover laws tend to entrench management by making it difficult to effect a
change in control of the corporation. Such laws are often not in the best
interests of the institutional investor because they decrease the chances of
realizing full shareholder value.
                     MISCELLANEOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ISSUES
                           SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS.
Adviser will vote for management proposals to institute open-market share
repurchase plans in which all shareholders may participate on equal terms.
                       REDUCING PAR VALUE OF COMMON STOCK.
Adviser will vote for management proposals to reduce the par value of common
stock.
                     STOCK DISTRIBUTIONS: SPLITS AND DIVIDENDS.
Adviser will vote for management proposals to increase common share
authorization for a stock split, provided that the increase in authorized shares
would not result in an excessive number of shares available for issuance given a
company's industry and performance in terms of shareholder returns.
                              REVERSE STOCK SPLITS.
Adviser will vote for management proposals to implement a reverse stock split
when the number of shares will be proportionately reduced or to avoid delisting.
Adviser will vote case-by-case on proposals to implement a reverse stock split
that do not proportionately reduce the number of shares authorized for issue. A
reverse stock split is an exchange of a greater number of shares for a lesser
number to increase the share price. The objective typically is to place the
company's shares in an optimal trading range.
How could the number of authorized common shares increase to more than 100
percent of existing authorized shares in a reverse stock split, which should
reduce the number of shares of common stock? Many companies reduce the number of
outstanding shares of common stock through a reverse stock split but fail to
reduce proportionately the number of shares authorized for issue. The result may
effectively be a large increase in authorized share, in which case Adviser will
evaluate the proposal as if it were a request for additional authorized shares.
In extraordinary cases, Adviser will approve an increase in authorized shares
resulting from a reverse split which would create a number of available shares
in excess of the threshold amount if delisting of the company's stock is
imminent and would result in greater harm to Adviser than the excessive share
authorization.

                        INCREASE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK.
Adviser will vote case-by-case on proposals to increase the number of shares of
common stock authorized for issuance after analyzing the company's industry and
performance in terms of shareholder returns.


Adviser will vote against proposals at companies with dual-class capital
structures to increase the number of authorized shares of the class of stock
that has superior voting rights.
Authorized common shares allow management to issue new stock in the future for
ordinary business purposes such as raising new capital, funding stock
compensation programs, funding business acquisitions, implementing stock splits,
and paying stock dividends. (By contrast, outstanding common shares are the
common stock that has been issued by the company.) Corporations typically
request a large enough number of authorized shares to provide for projected
needs as well as for unexpected financing needs and unanticipated opportunities.
Continually seeking shareholder approval of additional stock authorizations each
time a need to issue shares for ordinary business purposes arises would be
costly and impractical. When faced with a request to increase authorized common
shares, Adviser will examine the number of shares available for issuance (shares
not outstanding and not reserved for issuance) as a percentage of the total
number of authorized shares after giving effect to the requested increase.
Adviser recognizes that patterns of utilization of authorized common shares vary
from industry to industry. Within a given industry, companies that have posted
superior shareholder returns should be given more latitude with respect to
capital stock increases than lesser-performing companies. Companies that have
used authorized shares for stock splits and stock option plans with reasonable
levels of dilution and value transfer should be given further leeway.
Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) compiles data on common stock proposals
for companies comprising 98 percent of the investable U.S. equity market.
Companies are classified into one of ten peer groups, and ISS divides companies
within each peer group into four quartiles based on three-year total shareholder
returns. An 11th peer group is designated for rapidly growing companies whose
shares have recently become publicly traded. An "allowable increase" for a
company is set within each quartile, with the largest allowable increases for
top quartile performers and the smallest for bottom quartile companies. This
allowable increase represents the maximum permitted number of available shares
as a percentage of authorized shares after giving effect to the requested
increase. Adviser recommends votes against proposals to increase the number of
authorized common shares when the available shares on a post-increase basis
exceeds the allowable increase. Proposals to increase authorized common shares
are supported when the available shares after giving effect to the increase
falls within the allowable increase. Adviser recommends votes for increases
beyond the allowable increase when a company's shares are on the verge of being
delisted or if a company's ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain.

                            CHANGING CORPORATE NAME.
Adviser will generally vote for management proposals to change the corporate
name.
                           REINCORPORATION PROPOSALS.
Adviser will generally vote for reincorporation proposals that are supported by
sound business reasons and that do not significantly reduce shareholder rights
or management accountability; otherwise, Adviser will generally vote against
reincorporation proposals.
                              CONFIDENTIAL VOTING.
Adviser will vote for proposals calling for corporations to adopt confidential
voting, use independent vote tabulators, and use independent inspectors of
election.
                                  EQUAL ACCESS.
Adviser will vote for shareholder proposals that would allow significant
shareholders equal access to management's proxy material (i) to evaluate and
propose voting recommendations on proxy proposals and director nominees or (ii)
to nominate their own candidates to the board.
Equal access proposals seek to include a shareholder's perspective within the
company's proxy statement. These proposals are designed to "even the playing
field" in the proxy system by providing large company shareholders opportunity
to discuss in the proxy statement the merits of management's director nominees,
nominate and profile director candidates, and discuss other management-sponsored
proposals.
                               BUNDLED PROPOSALS.
Adviser will vote on bundled proposals on a case-by-case basis, voting for
bundled proposals of which the combined effect is positive and against all
others. A bundled proposal refers to any proxy proposal that includes a number
of separate elements. Some bundled proposals are fair and straightforward,
involving various elements that belong together both logically and functionally.
However, certain bundled proxy proposals combine unrelated issues that should be
presented as separate voting items. Some companies have deliberately used these
types of proposals to manipulate the vote in order to pass a questionable
proposal by bundling it with a proposal(s) that would likely pass on its own - a
strategy similar to the use of riders and amendments in legislative packages.
                        SHAREHOLDER ADVISORY COMMITTEES.
Adviser will vote on proposals to establish shareholder advisory committees on a
case-by-case basis after consideration of the potential benefits and
disadvantages of the proposals.
                            ANNUAL MEETING LOCATION.
Adviser will normally vote against shareholder proposals to hold annual meetings
somewhere other than where management desires.
                                   DISCLOSURE.
Adviser will vote against proposals that would require any kind of
government-related disclosure, such as the release of information on a
corporation's military contracts, or any other unnecessary disclosure of
business records.
                           investment company PROXIES
This section of the proxy guidelines relates to both open-end and closed-end
investment companies. Open-end investment companies have no set limit on the
number of shares they may issue. The value of an open-end fund's shares is
determined solely by dividing the value of that fund's portfolio by the number
of shares outstanding. Closed-end funds, on the other hand, have a capital stock
structure akin to that of operating companies, as the number of shares they may
issue is fixed. The shares of these funds trade on an exchange like other stocks
and may be more or less valuable than the value of the fund's portfolio. The
primary advantage of closed-end funds is that (1) they can be fully invested
with far fewer liquidity concerns; and (2) they do not have to maintain the same
level of liquidity as open-end funds, which must be able to redeem shares at the
request of their investors. At the time this Proxy Voting Policy was adopted,
Adviser did not manage any closed-end funds. However, issues relevant to
closed-end funds are covered for the sake of completeness.
There are a few proxy issues that relate specifically to closed-end funds. Those
will be noted below.
                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.
Adviser votes on director nominees will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis,
considering the following factors: board structure; director independence and
qualifications; compensation of directors within the fund and family of funds;
and, attendance at board and committee meetings.
Adviser will generally follow the same criteria used in the election of
directors for a publicly traded corporation as discussed above.
                     APPROVE NEW CLASSES OR SERIES OF SHARES
Adviser will vote for the establishment of new classes or series of shares.
                         INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS.
Adviser will vote investment advisory agreements on a case-by-case basis,
considering the following factors: proposed and current fee schedules; fund
category/investment objective; performance benchmarks; investment performance
compared with peers; and magnitude of fee increase.
Issues that can come up in these proxies are advisory fees, which will be
evaluated based on the proposed fee change as it relates to variations in asset
size, the fee change relative to fund performance, the fee structure of peers,
and the nature of the fund's investment profile. Another issue is changing
advisors from the fund to a subsidiary of the advisers or changing the advisory
agreement due to a change in the structure or purpose of the fund.
            CHANGE FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION TO NONFUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION Adviser
will vote proposals to change a fundamental restriction to a nonfundamental
restriction on a case-by-case basis, considering the following factors: the
fund's target investments; the reasons given by the fund for the change; and,
the projected impact of the change on the portfolio.
Fundamental investment restrictions are limits proscribed in the fund's charter
document that determine the investment practices of the fund. Such restrictions
may only be amended or eliminated with shareholder approval. Nonfundamental
investment restrictions, by contrast, may be altered by the board of trustees.
             CHANGE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE TO NONFUNDAMENTAL Adviser
will vote proposals to change a fund's fundamental investment objective to
nonfundamental on a case-by-case basis.
Although it is generally undesirable for funds to change their investment
objective arbitrarily, it may be acceptable to avoid the expense and uncertainty
of future shareholder votes if the ability of the fund to thereafter change its
objective is subject to reasonable limits and oversight by the Board.
                       CHANGE IN FUND'S SUBCLASSIFICATION
Adviser will vote changes in a fund's subclassification on a case-by-case basis,
considering the following factors: potential competitiveness; current and
potential returns; risk of concentration; and, consolidation in target industry.
Occasionally a fund will seek shareholder approval to change its
subclassification from a diversified to a nondiversified investment fund under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. The fund's manager recommends such a change
because it believes that the diversification requirements of the Act are
constraining and that the fund's performance could benefit from the change.
                              NAME CHANGE PROPOSALS
Adviser will vote name change proposals on a case-by-case basis, considering the
following factors: political/economic changes in the economic market; bundling
with quorum requirements; bundling with asset allocation changes; and,
consolidation in target market.
                         CHANGES TO THE CHARTER DOCUMENT
Adviser will vote changes to the charter document on a case-by-case basis,
considering the following factors: the degree of change implied by the proposal;
the efficiencies that could result; and regulatory standards and implications.
                           CHANGE THE FUND'S DOMICILE
Adviser will vote fund reincorporations on a case-by-case basis, considering the
following factors: regulations of both states; required fundamental policies of
both states; and, increased flexibility available.
          CONVERT CLOSED-END FUND TO OPEN-END FUND [CLOSED-END FUNDS ONLY]
Adviser will vote conversion proposals on a case-by-case basis, considering the
following factors: past performance as a closed-end fund; market in which fund
invests; measures taken by the board to address the discount; and, past
shareholder activism, board activity, and votes on related proposals.
                 PREFERRED STOCK PROPOSALS [CLOSED-END FUNDS ONLY] Adviser will
vote the authorization for or increase in preferred shares on a case-by-case
basis, considering the following factors: stated specific financing purpose;
other reasons management gives; and, possible dilution for common shares.
                                 PROXY CONTESTS
Adviser will vote proxy contests on a case-by-case basis, considering the
following factors: past performance; market in which the fund invests; measures
taken by board to address the issue; and, past shareholder activism, board
activity, and votes on related proposals.
                   DISPOSITION OF ASSETS/TERMINATION/LIQUIDATION Adviser will
vote dispositions of assets/terminations/liquidations on a case-by-case basis,
considering the following factors: strategies employed to save the company; the
company's past performance; and, the terms of the liquidations.
     AUTHORIZE BOARD TO HIRE/TERMINATE SUBADVISERS WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
Adviser will generally vote on a case-by-case basis with regard to proposals
authorizing the board to hire/terminate subadvisers without shareholder
approval. A fund is not currently permitted to make such changes without
obtaining an exemptive order, containing specific limitations and
representations, from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the terms of which
restrict the fund's ability to hire/terminate subadvisers arbitrarily.
                            DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS.
Adviser will generally vote for proposed distribution agreements as long as the
agreements do not call for an excessive fee rate. Distribution Agreements
provide for what is commonly known as Rule 12b-1 fees, which are paid from net
assets used to promote the sale of the fund's shares. These fees provide a means
of allowing the fund to increase asset size and realize economies of scale.
                             MASTER-FEEDER STRUCTURE
Adviser will vote for the establishment of a master-feeder structure or the
investment of fund assets in an affiliated fund. Master-feeder structures allow
the fund to invest its assets in a pooled portfolio with funds having similar
investment objectives. Generally, these types of arrangements lead to certain
economies of scale and result in reduced operating costs and, ultimately,
enhanced shareholder value. Investments in an affiliated fund may benefit
investment performance and are subject to SEC rules against excessive
compensation.

                                     MERGERS
Adviser will vote merger proposals on a case-by-case basis, considering the
following factors: the resulting fee structure; the performance of both funds;
and continuity of management personnel.
         SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO ESTABLISH DIRECTOR OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENT
Adviser will vote against the establishment of a director ownership requirement.
Adviser is generally in favor of director ownership of fund shares. However, in
large fund complexes, it may be impractical or undesirable for directors to own
shares of each fund in the complex. Therefore, Adviser believes that the terms
of such a policy should be determined by the board in conjunction with the
fund's management and sponsor.
        SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO REIMBURSE SHAREHOLDER FOR EXPENSES INCURRED
Adviser will vote on the reimbursement of expenses on a case-by-case basis.
               SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO TERMINATE INVESTMENT ADVISER Adviser
will vote shareholders proposals to terminate the investment adviser on a
case-by-case basis, considering the following factors: performance of the fund's
NAV; and, the fund's history of shareholder relations.
                        SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
                        SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.
Adviser will generally abstain from voting on proposals dealing with other
social and environmental issues in instances in which the best economic
interests of Adviser's clients will not be affected positively or negatively by
the determination of such an issue, unless the Adviser's investment mandate from
the client directs Adviser to follow a socially responsible investment strategy,
in which case the Adviser vote such matters on a case-by-case basis. In
situations in which the proposal would positively affect the economic interests
of Adviser's clients, Adviser will generally vote for the proposal. Conversely,
in situations in which the proposal would negatively affect the economic
interests of Adviser's clients, Adviser will generally vote against the
proposal. Where the Adviser is mandated to follow a socially responsible
investment strategy, Adviser will weigh the comparative benefits to shareholders
against the social interest that would be served by the proposal.
Adviser may consider the following in analyzing shareholder social proposals: >>
whether adoption of the proposal would have either a positive or negative
   impact on the company's short-term or long-term share value; >> the
percentage of sales, assets, and earnings affected; >> the degree to which the
company's stated position on issues raised in the
   proposal could affect its reputation or sales, or leave it vulnerable to boycott
   or selective purchasing;
>>    whether the issues presented should be dealt with through government action
   or through company-specific action;
>>    whether the company has already responded in some appropriate manner to the
   request embodied in the proposal;
>>    whether the company's analysis and voting recommendation to shareholders is
   persuasive;
>> what other companies have done in response to the issue; >> whether the
proposal itself is well framed and reasonable; >> whether implementation of the
proposal would achieve the objectives sought in
   the proposal; and
>>    whether the subject of the proposal is best left to the discretion of the
   board.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION
The disclosure policy of the Funds and the Advisor prohibits the disclosure of
portfolio holdings information to any investor or intermediary before the same
information is made available to other investors. Employees of the Advisor or
its affiliates who have access to nonpublic information concerning the Fund's
portfolio holdings are prohibited from trading securities on the basis of this
information. Such persons must report all personal securities trades and obtain
pre-clearance for all personal securities trades other than mutual fund shares.

Firms that provide administrative, custody, financial, accounting, legal or
other services to the Funds may receive nonpublic information about Fund
portfolio holdings for purposes relating to their services. All of these service
providers are identified elsewhere in the Prospectus or SAI. The Funds may also
provide portfolio holdings information to publications that rate, rank or
otherwise categorize investment companies. These organizations are CDA
Weisenberger and Lipper. Traders or portfolio managers may provide "interest"
lists to facilitate portfolio trading if the list reflects only that subset of
the portfolio for which the trader or portfolio manager is seeking market
interest. A list of service providers, publications and other third parties who
may receive nonpublic portfolio holdings information appears in the Appendix to
this SAI.

The furnishing of nonpublic portfolio holdings information to any third party
(other than authorized governmental or regulatory personnel) requires the prior
approval of the President of the Advisor and of the Chief Compliance Officer of
the Funds. The President of the Advisor and the Chief Compliance Officer will
approve the furnishing of nonpublic portfolio holdings information to a third
party and will be given only if there is a legitimate business purpose and such
disclosure is subject to a confidentiality agreement to safeguard the
confidentiality of the information so that the information will be used only for
the purposes for which it was furnished and otherwise protect against misuse of
such information. In that regard, and to address possible conflicts between the
interests of Fund shareholders and those of the Advisor and its affiliates, the
following procedures apply. No consideration may be received by the Funds, the
Advisor, any affiliate of the Advisor or any of their employees in connection
with the disclosure of portfolio holdings information. Persons approved to
receive nonpublic portfolio holdings information will receive it as often as
necessary for the purpose for which it is provided. Such information may be
furnished as frequently as daily and often with no time lag between the date of
the information and the date it is furnished. The Board receives and reviews
annually a list of the persons who receive nonpublic portfolio holdings
information and the purposes for which it is furnished.

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS
When selecting brokers and dealers to handle the purchase and sale of portfolio
instruments, the Advisor looks for prompt execution of the order at a favorable
price. The Advisor will generally use those who are recognized dealers in
specific portfolio instruments, except when a better price and execution of the
order can be obtained elsewhere. The Advisor makes decisions on portfolio
transactions and selects brokers and dealers subject to review by the Funds'
Board.

Investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from those of other
accounts managed by the Advisor. When the Funds and one or more of those
accounts invests in, or disposes of, the same security, available investments or
opportunities for sales will be allocated among the Funds and the account(s) in
a manner believed by the Adviser to be equitable. While the coordination and
ability to participate in volume transactions may benefit the Funds, it is
possible that this procedure could adversely impact the price paid or received
and/or the position obtained or disposed of by the Funds.

RESEARCH SERVICES
Research services may include advice as to the advisability of investing in
securities; security analysis and reports; economic studies; industry studies;
receipt of quotations for portfolio evaluations; and similar services. Research
services may be used by the Adviser or by affiliates of the subadvisors in
advising other accounts. To the extent that receipt of these services may
replace services for which the Adviser or its affiliates might otherwise have
paid, it would tend to reduce their expenses. The Adviser and its affiliates
exercise reasonable business judgment in selecting those brokers who offer
brokerage and research services to execute securities transactions. They
determine in good faith that commissions charged by such persons are reasonable
in relationship to the value of the brokerage and research services provided.

CO-ADMINISTRATORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT Federated
Services Company (FSC) and M&T Securities, Inc. serve as co-administrators
to the Trust and provide the Funds with certain administrative personnel and

From time to time, FSC and its affiliates may pay out of their reasonable
profits and other resources advertising, marketing and other expenses for the
benefit of the Funds, and such amounts may be paid to the Advisor and its
affiliates.

Prior to July 1, 2004, FSC, through its affiliate Federated Shareholder Services
Company (FSSC), a registered transfer agent, served as transfer and dividend
disbursing agent to the Trust, and received a separate fee from the Funds for
these transfer agency services. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (BFDS)
replaced FSSC as transfer agent to the Trust on July 1, 2004. The principal
business address of BFDS is 2 Heritage Drive, North Quincy, MA 02171.

The minimum administrative fee received during any year was $50,000 per Fund.

HOW DO THE FUNDS MEASURE PERFORMANCE?
====================================================================================

The Funds may advertise Share performance by using the SEC's standard method for
calculating performance applicable to all mutual funds. The SEC also permits
this standard performance information to be accompanied by non-standard
performance information.

Share performance reflects the effect of non-recurring charges, such as maximum
sales charges, which, if excluded, would increase the total return and yield.
The performance of Shares depends upon such variables as: portfolio quality;
average portfolio maturity; type and value of portfolio securities; changes in
interest rates; changes or differences in a Fund's or any class of Shares'
expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings
fluctuate daily. Both net earnings and offering price per Share are factors in
the computation of yield and total return.

TOTAL RETURN
Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of
Shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and
capital gains distributions.

The average annual total return for Shares is the average compounded rate of
return for a given period that would equate a $10,000 initial investment to the
ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is
computed by multiplying the number of Shares owned at the end of the period by
the NAV per Share at the end of the period. The number of Shares owned at the
end of the period is based on the number of Shares purchased at the beginning of
the period with $10,000, less any applicable sales charge, adjusted over the
period by any additional Shares, assuming the annual reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions. Total returns after taxes are calculated in a
similar manner, but reflect additional standard assumptions required by the SEC.

When Shares of a Fund are in existence for less than a year, the Fund may
advertise cumulative total return for that specific period of time, rather than
annualizing the total return.

YIELD AND EFFECTIVE YIELD
The yield of Shares of the Equity, Income and Balanced Funds is calculated by
dividing: (i) the net investment income per Share earned by the Shares over a
30-day period; by (ii) the maximum offering price per Share on the last day of
the period. This number is then annualized using semi-annual compounding. This
means that the amount of income generated during the 30-day period is assumed to
be generated each month over a 12-month period and is reinvested every six
months.

The yield of Shares of the Money Market Funds is based upon the seven days
ending on the day of the calculation, called the "base period." This yield is
calculated by: determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical account
with a balance of one Share at the beginning of the base period, with the net
change excluding capital changes but including the value of any additional
Shares purchased with dividends earned from the original one Share and all
dividends declared on the original and any purchased Shares; dividing the net
change in the account's value by the value of the account at the beginning of
the base period to determine the base period return; and multiplying the base
period return by 365/7. The effective yield of the Money Market Funds is
calculated by compounding the unannualized base-period return by: adding one to
the base-period return, raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and subtracting
one from the result. The tax-equivalent yield of Shares of New York Tax-Free
Money Market Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund and Pennsylvania Municipal Bond
Fund is calculated similarly to the yield, but is adjusted to reflect the
taxable yield that Shares would have had to earn to equal the actual yield,
assuming a specific tax rate. The yield, effective yield and tax-equivalent
yield do not necessarily reflect income actually earned by Shares because of
certain adjustments required by the SEC and, therefore, may not correlate to the
dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.

To the extent investment professionals and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in Shares,
the Share performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.







AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELD
Total returns are given for the period ended April 30, 2005.

Yield and Effective Yield are given for the 7-day and 30-day periods ended April
30, 2005.

investing. Of course, when comparing Fund performance to any reporting service,
factors such as composition of the reporting service and prevailing market
conditions should be considered in assessing the significance of such
comparisons.

Advertising and other promotional literature may include charts, graphs and
other illustrations using the Funds' returns, or returns in general, that
demonstrate basic investment concepts such as tax-deferred compounding,

its performance, or performance for the types of securities in which it invests,
to a variety of other investments, such as federally insured bank products,
including time deposits, bank savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and
Treasury bills, and to money market funds using the Lipper, Inc. money market
instruments average. Unlike federally insured bank products, the Shares of the
Funds are not insured. Unlike money market funds, which attempt to maintain a
stable NAV, the NAV of the Income and Equity Funds' Shares fluctuates.
Advertisements may quote performance information which does not reflect the
effect of any applicable sales charges.

INVESTMENT RATINGS
====================================================================================


STANDARD AND POOR'S

Long-Term Debt Rating Definitions
AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity to pay
interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

AA--Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small degree.

A--Debt rated A 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.

BBB--Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest
and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for
debt in this category than in higher-rated categories.

BB--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.

B--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.

CCC--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.

CC--The rating CC typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior debt that
is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.

C--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.


Commercial Paper Ratings
An S&P commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the likelihood of
timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days.

A-1--This highest category 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.

A-2--Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated A-1.


Short-Term Municipal Obligation Ratings
S&P note rating reflects the liquidity concerns and market access risks
unique to notes.

SP-1--Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a plus
sign (+) designation.

SP-2--Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.


Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs) And Tender Option Bonds (TOBs) Ratings
S&P assigns dual ratings to all long-term debt issues that have as part of
their provisions a variable rate demand feature. The first rating (long-term
rating) addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest when
due, and the second rating (short-term rating) describes the demand
characteristics. Several examples are AAA/A-1+, AA/A-1+, A/A-1. (The definitions
for the long-term and the short-term ratings are provided below.)


MOODY'S

Long-Term Bond Rating Definitions
Aaa--Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt
edged. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an 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.

Aa--Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation 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 in Aaa securities.

A--Bonds which are rated A 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.

Baa--Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as 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.

Ba--Bonds which are Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their future
cannot be considered as 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.

B--Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa--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.

Ca--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.

C--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.


Commercial Paper (CP) Ratings
P-1--Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment
capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics: leading
market positions in well established industries, high rates of return on funds
employed, conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt
and ample asset protection, broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial
charges and high internal cash generation, well-established access to a range of
financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

P-2--Issuers rated Prime-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally
be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above, but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.


Short-Term Municipal Obligation Ratings
Moody's short-term ratings are designated Moody's Investment Grade (MIG or
VMIG). (See below.) The purpose of the MIG or VMIG ratings is to provide
investors with a simple system by which the relative investment qualities of
short-term obligations may be evaluated.

MIG1--This designation denotes best quality. There is present strong protection
by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or demonstrated broad
based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG2--This designation denotes high quality. Margins of protection are ample
although not so large as in the preceding group.


VRDNs And TOBs Ratings
Short-term ratings on issues with demand features are differentiated by the use
of the VMIG symbol to reflect such characteristics as payment upon periodic
demand rather than fixed maturity dates and payment relying on external
liquidity. In this case, two ratings are usually assigned, (for example,
Aaa/VMIG-1); the first representing an evaluation of the degree of risk
associated with scheduled principal and interest payments, and the second
representing an evaluation of the degree of risk associated with the demand
feature. The VMIG rating can be assigned a 1 or 2 designation using the same
definitions described above for the MIG rating.


FITCH RATINGS

Long-Term Debt Rating Definitions
AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality.
The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay
principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although
not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA
categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,
short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.

A--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality.
The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are
more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds, and therefore impair timely
payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below
investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

BB--Bonds are considered speculative. The obligor's ability to pay interest and
repay principal may be affected over time by adverse economic changes. However,
business and financial alternatives can be identified which could assist the
obligor in satisfying its debt service requirements.

B--Bonds are considered highly speculative. While bonds in this class are
currently meeting debt service requirements, the probability of continued timely
payment of principal and interest reflects the obligor's limited margin of
safety and the need for reasonable business and economic activity throughout the
life of the issue.

CCC--Bonds have certain identifiable characteristics which, if not remedied, may
lead to default. The ability to meet obligations requires an advantageous
business and economic environment.

CC--Bonds are minimally protected. Default in payment of interest and/or
principal seems probable over time.

C--Bonds are imminent default in payment of interest or principal.


Short-Term Debt Rating Definitions
F-1+--Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating are regarded
as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

F-1--Very Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating reflect an
assurance for timely payment, only slightly less in degree than issues rated
F-1+.

F-2--Good Credit Quality. Issues carrying this rating have a satisfactory degree
of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as great as for
issues assigned F-1+ and F-1 ratings.


CP Rating Definitions
FITCH-1--(Highest Grade) Commercial paper assigned this rating is regarded as
having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

FITCH-2--(Very Good Grade) Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of
timely payment only slightly less in degree than the strongest issues.


LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS
NR--Indicates that both the bonds and the obligor or credit enhancer are not
currently rated by S&P or Moody's with respect to short-term indebtedness.
However, management considers them to be of comparable quality to securities
rated A-1 or P-1.

NR(1)--The underlying issuer/obligor/guarantor has other outstanding debt rated
AAA by S&P or Aaa by Moody's.

NR(2)--The underlying issuer/obligor/guarantor has other outstanding debt rated
AA by S&P or Aa by Moody's.

NR(3)--The underlying issuer/obligor/guarantor has other outstanding debt rated
A by S&P or Moody's.

Other Considerations

Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning bond, note and commercial
paper ratings are the following: (i) evaluation of the management of the issuer;
(ii) economic evaluation of the issuer's industry or industries and an appraisal
of speculative-type risks which may be inherent in certain areas; (iii)
evaluation of the issuer's products in relation to competition and customer
acceptance; (iv) liquidity; (v) amount and quality of long-term debt; (vi) trend
of earnings over a period of 10 years; (vii) financial strength of a parent
company and the relationships which exist with the issuer; and (viii)
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.

Among the factors considered by S&P in assigning bond, note and commercial
paper ratings are the following: (i) trend of earnings and cash flow with
allowances made for unusual circumstances, (ii) stability of the issuer's
industry, (iii) the issuer's relative strength and position within the industry
and (iv) the reliability and quality of management.
