                     Supplement dated March 4, 2003 to the
          Statement of Additional Information dated September 24, 2002

      The Statement of Additional Information is changed as follows:

1.    The Supplement dated February 20, 2003 is replaced with this supplement.

2.    The section  captioned  "The  Fund's  Investment  Policies"  is amended as
   follows:

   a. The first sentence of the last paragraph under that caption "Rating of
      Securities--Portfolio Quality, Maturity and Diversification" on page 2 is
      revised to read:

          "The    Rating    Organizations    currently    designated    as
          nationally-recognized  statistical  rating  organizations by the
          Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  are  Standard & Poor's (a
          division  of  the  McGraw-Hill  Companies),   Moody's  Investors
          Service,  Inc.,  Fitch,  Inc. and Dominion  Bond Rating  Service
          Limited."

   b. Add the following at the end of Appendix A:

          Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited ("DBRS")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

          R-1:  Short  term debt  rated  "R-1  (high)"  is of the  highest
          credit   quality,   and  indicates  an  entity  which  possesses
          unquestioned  ability to repay current  liabilities as they fall
          due.  Entities rated in this category  normally  maintain strong
          liquidity positions,  conservative debt levels and profitability
          which is both stable and above average.  Companies  achieving an
          "R-1 (high)" rating are normally  leaders in structurally  sound
          industry   segments  with  proven  track  records,   sustainable
          positive future results and no substantial  qualifying  negative
          factors.  Given the extremely  tough  definition  which DBRS has
          established for an "R-1 (high)",  few entities are strong enough
          to achieve this rating.  Short term debt rated "R-1 (middle)" is
          of superior  credit quality and, in most cases,  ratings in this
          category  differ  from  "R-1  (high)"  credits  to  only a small
          degree.  Given the extremely tough definition which DBRS has for
          the "R-1  (high)"  category  (which  few  companies  are able to
          achieve),  entities  rated "R-1  (middle)"  are also  considered
          strong credits which typically  exemplify above average strength
          in key areas of consideration  for debt  protection.  Short term
          debt rated "R-1 (low)" is of satisfactory  credit  quality.  The
          overall  strength  and  outlook  for  key  liquidity,  debt  and
          profitability  ratios  is not  normally  as  favorable  as  with
          higher rating  categories,  but these  considerations  are still
          respectable.  Any  qualifying  negative  factors which exist are
          considered manageable,  and the entity is normally of sufficient
          size to have some influence in its industry.

          R-2:  Short term debt rated "R-2" is of adequate  credit quality
          and within the three subset grades  (high,  middle,  low),  debt
          protection  ranges  from  having  reasonable  ability for timely
          repayment  to a level which is  considered  only just  adequate.
          The   liquidity  and  debt  ratios  of  entities  in  the  "R-2"
          classification   are  not  as  strong  as  those  in  the  "R-1"
          category,  and the past and future  trend may suggest  some risk
          of  maintaining  the  strength  of key  ratios  in these  areas.
          Alternative   sources  of  liquidity   support  are   considered
          satisfactory;  however,  even the  strongest  liquidity  support
          will not improve the commercial paper rating of the issuer.  The
          size  of the  entity  may  restrict  its  flexibility,  and  its
          relative  position in the industry is not typically as strong as
          the "R-1 credit".  Profitability trends, past and future, may be
          less  favorable,  earnings  not as  stable,  and there are often
          negative  qualifying  factors  present which could also make the
          entity  more  vulnerable  to adverse  changes in  financial  and
          economic conditions.

3.    In the  Financial  Highlights  tables for Class B (on page 59) and Class C
   (on page 60),  income from  investment  operations  for 2001 is revised  from
   "$.05" to "$.04".
