The Distributor.................. Wright Investors' Service Distributors, Inc. ("WISDI" or the "Principal Underwriter") is the Distributor of the Funds' shares and receives a distribution fee equal on an annual basis to 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets. Who May Purchase Fund Shares..... The Funds were established to provide broadly based investment opportunities in the main security markets of the world for investment portfolios managed by professional trustees and other persons and institutions acting in a fiduciary capacity. The Funds are designed to enable fiduciaries to comply with the rule that investments made by fiduciaries should be selected with the care, skill and caution that would be exercised by a prudent person where the primary consideration is preservation of capital. Shares of the Funds are available to the public as well as through these fiduciaries. How to Purchase Fund Shares...... There is no sales charge on the purchase of Fund shares. Shares of any Fund may be purchased at the net asset value per share next determined after receipt and acceptance of the purchase order. The minimum initial investment in each Fund is $1,000 which will be waived for investments in 401(k) tax-sheltered retirement plans. The $1,000 minimum initial investment is also waived for Bank Draft Investing accounts which may be established with an investment of $50 or more with a minimum of $50 applicable to each subsequent investment. Distribution Options............. Unless the shareholder has elected to receive dividends and distributions in cash, dividends and distributions will be reinvested in additional shares of the Fund making such dividend or distribution at the net asset value per share as of the reinvestment date. Dividend and capital gains distributions, if any, are usually made annually in December. Redemptions......................

Financial statements included in annual reports are audited by the Trust's independent certified public accountants. Where possible, shareholder confirmations and account statements will consolidate all Wright investment fund holdings of the shareholder. Special Risk Considerations...... International investments pose additional risks including currency exchange rate fluctuation, currency revaluation and political risks. See page 22 for additional foreign investment considerations.

* Applicable only to shares purchased after December 31, 1995 and redeemed within 30 days of purchase. (1) After reduction by the Investment Adviser. If no reduction were made, the Investment Advisory Fees would be a maximum of 0.75% of each Fund's average daily net assets. (2) After reduction by the Principal Underwriter. If no reduction were made, the Rule 12b-1 Distribution Expenses would be 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets. (3) After allocation of expenses in excess of 2.00% of each Fund's average daily net assets to the Investment Adviser. If such allocation were not made, Other Expenses are estimated to be 2.01% for Australasia; 2.05% for Austria; 2.15% for Canada; 2.15% for France; 2.15% for Global; 2.08% for International; 2.04% for Ireland; and 2.00% for United States. (4) The Investment Adviser and Principal Underwriter reduced their fees for the Netherlands and Nordic Funds and in addition the Nordic Fund was allocated certain expenses during the 1995 fiscal year to the extent that expenses, net of custodian fee credits, exceeded 2.00% of the daily net assets of each Fund that was offering its shares and voluntarily intends to do the same for each Fund for the current fiscal year. In addition, the Principal Underwriter reduced its fee for the Switzerland Fund. If no fee reductions or expense allocations were made, the Annualized Fund Operating Expenses as a percentage of average net assets, including investment advisory fees at a maximum of 0.75% of average daily net assets would have been: Switzerland 2.39%; Nordic 3.25%; Netherlands 2.45%; and, for the Funds with no operating experience prior to 1996, expenses are estimated to be: Australasia 3.11%; Austria 3.15%; Canada 3.25%; France 3.25%; Global 3.25%; International 3.18%; Ireland 3.14%; and United States 3.00%. (5) During the year ended December 31, 1995, custodian fees were reduced by credits resulting from cash balances that the Funds maintained with Investors Bank & Trust Company. If these credits were included, the Total Net Operating Expenses shown above would have been: Belgium/Luxembourg 1.53%; Britain 1.24%; Germany 1.29%; Hong Kong 1.34%; Japan 1.49%; Mexico 1.39%; Netherlands 2.00%; Nordic 2.00%; and Switzerland 2.00%. Example of Fund Expenses The following is an illustration of the total transaction and operating expenses that an investor in any Fund would bear over different periods of time, assuming an investment of $1,000, a 5% annual return on the investment and a complete redemption at the end of each period: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years ----------------------------------------------- Australasia $ 20 $ 63 Austria 20 63 Belgium/Luxembourg 18 55 $ 95 $207 Britain 16 49 85 186 Canada 20 63 France 20 63 Germany 16 50 87 189 Hong Kong 16 50 87 189 Ireland 20 63 Japan 18 57 98 213 Mexico 17 54 93 203 Netherlands 23 71 121 260 Nordic 23 70 120 257 Switzerland 23 71 121 260 United States 20 63 Global 20 63 International 20 63 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses and actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. Federal regulations require the Example to assume a 5% annual return, but actual return will vary. NOTES (1) The purpose of the above tables and Examples is to assist investors in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in the Funds may bear directly or indirectly. See "Financial Highlights," "The Investment Adviser," "The Administrator," "Distribution Expenses" and "How to Redeem or Sell Shares." The table reflects estimated fees and expenses based on actual operating expenses for the Belgium/Luxembourg, Britain, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Nordic and Switzerland Funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The fees and expenses shown in the table assume the continuation of the reduction of the investment advisory fee and partial allocation of expenses to the Investment Adviser and the reduction of the fee payable under the Distribution Plan. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown in the table and example. A Fund's payment of a distribution fee may result in a long-term shareholder paying more than the economic equivalent of the maximum initial sales charge permitted under the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Financial Highlights The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Statement of Additional Information, all of which have been so included in reliance upon the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent certified public accountants, as experts in accounting and auditing, which report is contained in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information. Further information regarding the performance of a Fund is contained in its annual report to shareholders which may be obtained without charge by contacting the Fund's Principal Underwriter, Wright Investors' Service Distributors, Inc., at (800) 888-9471.

The Funds and their Investment Objectives and Policies Each Fund seeks to enhance total investment return (consisting of price appreciation plus income) by investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities selected by the Investment Adviser from the publicly traded companies in the National Equity Index for the nation or nations in which each Fund is permitted to invest. Only securities for which adequate public information is available and which could be considered acceptable for investment by a prudent person will comprise a National Equity Index. Each Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in the securities of companies located in the country or countries referred to in its name. The multiple country Funds will invest in securities of issuers in the following countries: Wright EquiFund--Australasia - -- Australia and New Zealand; Wright EquiFund--Belgium/Luxembourg -- Belgium and Luxembourg and Wright EquiFund--Nordic -- Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. International Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets among the countries (excluding the United States) for which National Equity Indices exist. Global Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets among the countries (including the United States) for which National Equity Indices exist. The multiple country Funds will not necessarily allocate investments equally among the different countries located in the applicable geographical regions since there may be a limited number of qualified issuers and securities in a given country. Thus, investments may at times be weighted more heavily in some countries within a multiple country Fund. In some instances, all of the assets of a multiple-country Fund may be invested in one country. A Fund's selection of equity securities is limited to those equity securities included in the National Equity Index (which is described below) relating to such Fund. Each Fund will, under normal market conditions, invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into stock. With respect to Austria, Belgium/Luxembourg, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Netherlands, Nordic and Switzerland Funds, the policy stated in the preceding sentence is fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval. As a matter of nonfundamental policy, it is expected that the Funds will normally be fully invested in equity securities. However, for temporary defensive purposes, a Fund may hold cash or invest all or a portion of its net assets in the short-term debt securities described under "Special Considerations -- Defensive Investments." Except as provided above, the investment objective and policies of each Fund have not been identified as fundamental and may be changed by the Trustees of the Trust without a vote of the affected Fund's shareholders. Any such change of the investment objective of a Fund will be preceded by thirty days' advance written notice to each shareholder of such Fund. If any changes were made, the Fund might have an investment objective different from the objective which an investor considered appropriate at the time the investor became a shareholder in the Fund. There is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their respective investment objective. The market price of securities held by the Funds that are quoted or denominated in foreign currencies, when expressed in U.S. dollars, will fluctuate in response to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the securities are quoted or denominated. The net asset value of each Fund's shares will also fluctuate as a result of changes in the value of the securities that it owns. The National Equity Indices Wright, with the assistance of local financial institutions as described below, has developed the National Equity Indices (the "Indices"). Each Index is designed to be an index of substantially all the publicly traded companies in the nation or nations in which each respective Fund is permitted to invest which meet the requirements of a prudent investor. The prudent investor standard requires that care, skill and caution be used in selecting securities for investment. This prudent investor standard is the foundation for the investment criteria employed in creating the Indices. Each Fund will select securities for investment from those included in the corresponding Index, or in the case of International Fund, from those included in all the Indices except the United States National Equity Index or in the case of Global Fund, from those included in all the Indices including the United States National Equity Index. Wright has developed disciplined objective criteria to insure that the required care, skill and caution are used in selecting securities for each of the Indices. Wright generally considers for inclusion in an Index only those companies which have at least: 1. Five years of audited operating information; 2. An established minimum in both book value and market value; and 3. A three-year record of pricing in a public market. In addition, only companies that meet the following criteria will be included in an Index: 1. A significant portion of the shares of the company is believed to be publicly owned; 2. The company has had positive earnings for the last fiscal or calendar year, or for the last twelve months, or cumulatively for the last three years; and 3. The company is not a closed-end investment company, a real estate investment trust or a non-bank securities broker/dealer. In selecting securities for the Indices and for inclusion in the portfolios of the Funds, Wright utilizes its Worldscope(R) international database. The database provides more than 1,500 items of information on more than 13,000 companies worldwide. Except with respect to the United States, Wright utilizes the services of major financial institutions that are located in the nations in which the respective Funds are permitted to invest and are qualified to supply Wright with research products and services. These services include reports on particular industries and companies, economic surveys and analyses of the investment environment and trends in a particular nation, recommendations as to whether specific securities should be included in an Index and other appropriate assistance in the performance of Wright's decision-making responsibilities. The Indices are adjusted quarterly and as otherwise necessary to reflect significant events. Changes in the composition of an Index will be made by determining whether existing companies included in the Index continue to meet the criteria of the Index and whether other companies meet these criteria and should replace or be added to the companies already comprising that Index. The Indices give equal weight to each security included therein, and are intended to include substantially all the publicly traded companies which meet the requirements of the prudent investor in the respective nations. Use of the equal weighting method of constructing an Index will often result in a greater representation of smaller capitalization companies than would occur if the Index were weighted on the basis of relative market capitalization in the nation or nations in which their securities are primarily traded. Such smaller capitalization companies may have shorter operating histories, less diversification of assets and smaller dividend payments than larger capitalization companies. On the other hand, such smaller capitalization companies may be younger or less mature companies still experiencing significant growth. A detailed explanation of the objective criteria used in the process of selecting companies for inclusion in an Index is included in the Statement of Additional Information. The securities included in an Index will be (i) admitted to official listing on a stock exchange in any Member State of the European Economic Community, (ii) admitted to official listing on a recognized stock exchange in any other country in Western Europe, Asia, Oceania, the American continents, including Bermuda, and Africa, (iii) traded on another regulated market in any such Member State of the European Economic Community or such other country referred to above, provided such market operates regularly and is recognized and open to the public, or (iv) recently issued, provided the terms of the issue provide that application be made for admission to official listing on any of the stock exchanges or other regulated markets referred to above, and provided such listing is secured within a year following the date of issuance. The performance of each National Equity Index is included in various publications of Wright Investors' Service, including the monthly International Investment Advice and Analysis. Policies that Apply to All Funds Except the United States, International and Global Funds Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of enhanced total investment return (price appreciation plus income) by investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities selected by the Investment Adviser from the publicly traded companies in the corresponding Index. Subject to the availability of assets for investment, the Investment Adviser will select equity securities for a Fund's portfolio from companies in the relevant Index, or determine to sell securities in the Fund's portfolio, on the basis of characteristics which have been identified by the Investment Adviser as being likely to provide comparatively superior investment return over the intermediate term. Each Fund may acquire for its portfolio only those securities which are included in the relevant Index at the time of purchase. Although there can be no guarantee that each Fund's investment objective will be achieved, each Fund is expected to have a broadly based investment portfolio composed of the equity securities of companies in the designated nation or nations. Policies that Apply to the United States, International and Global Funds United States Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of enhanced total investment return (price appreciation plus income) by investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities selected by the Investment Adviser from the publicly traded companies in the United States National Equity Index. International and Global Funds seek to achieve their investment objectives of enhanced total investment return (price appreciation plus income) by investing in broadly based portfolios of equity securities selected by the Investment Adviser from the publicly traded companies in all the Indices except the United States National Equity Index and all the Indices including the United States National Equity Index, respectively. Subject to the availability of assets for investment, the Investment Adviser will select equity securities for a Fund's portfolio from companies included in the appropriate Index or Indices, as the case may be, or determine to sell securities in the Fund's portfolio, in an attempt to equal the performance of the appropriate Index or Indices. Although there can be no guarantee that a Fund's investment objective will be achieved, each Fund is expected to have a broadly based investment portfolio composed of the equity securities of companies in the designated nation or nations. Other Investment Policies The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted certain fundamental investment restrictions which are enumerated in detail in the Statement of Additional Information and which may be changed as to each Fund only by the vote of a majority of the affected Fund's outstanding voting securities. Among these restrictions, a Fund may not borrow money except from a bank, and then only up to 1/3 of the current market value of its total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) or purchase any securities which would cause more than 25% of the market value of its total assets at the time of such purchase to be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry, provided that there is no limitation with respect to investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities. Further, with respect to 75% of its assets, no more than 5% of a Fund's total assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer and no Fund will purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer. None of the Funds has any current intention of borrowing for leverage or speculative purposes. As a matter of nonfundamental policy, no Fund will purchase or enter into an agreement to purchase securities while borrowings exceed 5% of its total assets. None of the Funds is intended to be a complete investment program by itself and the prospective investor should take into account his or her objectives and other investments when considering the purchase of any Fund's shares. The Funds cannot eliminate risk or assure achievement of their objectives. Special Investment Considerations -- Risks Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in order to earn income on temporarily uninvested cash. A repurchase agreement is an agreement under which the seller of securities agrees to repurchase and a Fund agrees to resell the securities at a specified time and price. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements only with large, well-capitalized domestic or foreign banks or government securities dealers that meet Wright credit standards. In addition, such repurchase agreements will provide that the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned under the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a seller under a repurchase agreement, the affected Fund will seek to liquidate such collateral. However, the exercise of the right to liquidate such collateral could involve certain costs, delays and restrictions and is not ultimately assured. To the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to repurchase are less than the repurchase price, a Fund could suffer a loss. There is no percentage limit on the amount of any Fund's investments in repurchase agreements, except for the requirement that, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of each Fund's net assets will be invested in equity securities. Temporary Defensive Investments. During periods of unusual market or economic conditions, when Wright believes that investing for temporary defensive purposes is appropriate, all or any portion of each Fund's assets may be held in cash (including the foreign currency of the nation or nations in which such Fund invests) or invested in short-term obligations, including but not limited to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any foreign government or any of their respective agencies or instrumentalities; obligations of public international agencies; commercial paper which at the date of investment is rated A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or, if not rated by such rating organizations, is deemed by the Investment Adviser to be of comparable quality; short-term corporate obligations and other debt instruments which at the date of investment are rated AA or better by S&P or Aa or better by Moody's or, if unrated, which are deemed by the Investment Adviser to be of comparable quality; and certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and time deposits of domestic or foreign banks which are determined to be of high quality by the Investment Adviser. Temporary investments may be denominated either in U.S. dollars or in the currency of the nation in which the Fund primarily invests. Foreign Investments. Investment in securities of foreign companies and governments may involve certain risk considerations in addition to those arising when investing in domestic securities. These considerations include the possibility of currency exchange rate fluctuations and revaluation of currencies, the existence of less publicly available information about foreign issuers, different accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, less stringent securities regulation, non-negotiable brokerage commissions, different tax provisions, political or social instability, war or expropriation. Moreover, foreign stock and bond markets generally are not as developed and efficient as those in the United States and, therefore, the volume and liquidity in those markets may be less, and the volatility of prices may be greater, than in U.S. markets. Settlement of transactions in foreign markets may be delayed beyond what is customary in U.S. markets. These considerations generally are of greater concern in developing countries. Further information regarding the nations in which the Funds will invest may be found in the Appendix, beginning on page 41. Each Fund may, but does not expect to, invest in foreign securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs"), International Depositary Receipts ("IDRs") or other similar securities convertible into securities of foreign issuers. ADRs are receipts typically issued by a United States bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying foreign securities. EDRs and IDRs are receipts typically issued by a European bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying foreign securities. Foreign Currency Transactions. Each Fund, other than the United States Fund, may buy and sell foreign currencies. The value in U.S. dollars of investments quoted or denominated in foreign currencies will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. As one way of managing currency exchange rate risk, a Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are agreements to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a specified price and date. A Fund will usually enter into these contracts to fix the value of a security it has agreed to buy or sell. A Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the value of a security it already owns, particularly if it expects a decline in the value of the currency in which the foreign security is quoted or denominated. The underlying currency value of each Fund's forward contracts will be limited to the value of securities to be bought and sold in that currency plus the value of the Fund's portfolio securities quoted or denominated in such currency. There is no other percentage limitation on any Fund's holdings of foreign currencies or forward contracts, except for the requirement that, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets will be invested in equity securities. Contracts to sell foreign currency could limit any potential gain which might be realized by a Fund if the value of the hedged currency increases. Although a Fund will attempt to benefit from using forward contracts, the success of its hedging strategy will depend on Wright's ability to predict accurately the future exchange rate between foreign currencies. The ability to predict the direction of currency exchange rates involves skills different from those used in selecting securities. Lending Portfolio Securities. Each Fund may seek to increase its total return by lending portfolio securities to broker-dealers or other institutional borrowers. Such loans are required to be continuously secured by collateral in cash, cash-equivalents and U.S. Government securities. During the existence of a loan, a Fund will continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and will also receive a fee, or all or a portion of the interest, if any, on investment of the collateral. However, the Fund may at the same time pay a transaction fee to such borrowers. A Fund may invest the proceeds it receives from a securities loan in the types of securities in which it may invest. As with other extensions of credit there are risks of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the securities loaned if the borrower of the securities fails financially. However, the loans will be made only to organizations deemed by the Investment Adviser to be of good standing and when, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, the consideration which can be earned from securities loans of this type justifies the attendant risk. The financial condition of the borrower will be monitored by the Investment Adviser on an ongoing basis and collateral values will be continuously maintained at no less than 100% by "marking to market" daily. If the Investment Adviser decides to make securities loans, it is intended that the value of the securities loaned would not exceed 30% of the Fund's total assets. The Investment Adviser Each Fund has engaged The Winthrop Corporation ("Winthrop") to act as its investment adviser pursuant to Investment Advisory Contracts. Pursuant to a service agreement effective on February 1, 1996 between Winthrop and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wright Investors' Service, Inc. ("Wright"), Wright, acting under the general supervision of the Trust's Trustees furnishes each Fund with investment advice and management services. Winthrop supervises Wright's performance of this function and retains its contractual obligations under its Investment Advisory Contract with each fund. The address of both Winthrop and Wright is 1000 Lafayette Boulevard, Bridgeport, Connecticut. The Trustees of the Trust are responsible for the general oversight of the conduct of the Funds' business. Wright is a leading independent international investment management and advisory firm which, together with its parent, Winthrop, has more than 30 years' experience. Its staff of over 150 people includes a highly respected team of 65 economists, investment experts and research analysts. In addition to the Funds, Wright manages assets for bank trust departments, corporations, unions, municipalities, eleemosynary institutions, professional associations, institutional investors, fiduciary organizations, family trusts and individuals. Wright is also the investment adviser to The Wright Managed Equity Trust, The Wright Managed Income Trust, and The Wright Managed Blue Chip Series Trust (the "Wright Funds"). Wright operates one of the world's largest and most complete databases of financial information on over 13,000 domestic and international corporations. At the end of 1995, Wright managed approximately $4 billion of assets. An Investment Committee of six senior officers, all of whom are experienced analysts, exercises disciplined direction and control over all investment selections, policies and procedures for each Fund. The Committee, following highly disciplined buy-and-sell rules, makes all decisions for the selection, purchase and sale of all securities. The members of the Committee are as follows: John Winthrop Wright, Chairman of the Investment Committee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wright and Winthrop. AB Amherst College.

Under the Fund's Investment Advisory Contracts, each Fund is required to pay Winthrop a monthly advisory fee calculated at the annual rates (as a percentage of average daily net assets) set forth in the following table. Effective February 1, 1996, Winthrop will cause the Funds to pay to Wright the entire amount of the advisory fee payable by each Fund under its Investment Advisory Contract with Winthrop. However, for the 1996 fiscal year, Wright has agreed to reduce its advisory fee and reallocate certain expenses, if such action is necessary to keep each Fund's expense ratio at or below 2.00%. ANNUAL % ADVISORY FEE RATES Under $500 Million $500 Million to $1 Billion Over $1 Billion ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.75% 0.73% 0.68% In addition to compensating Wright for its advisory services to the Funds, the advisory fee schedule is intended to partially compensate Wright for the maintenance of the National Equity Indices which form the basis for the selection of securities for the Funds. Wright incurs significant expenses in maintaining the Indices, including: the cost of employing persons to research companies that are candidates for inclusion in or removal from an Index and to enter data into Wright's computerized international database; compensation to institutions in each country for research provided to Wright; expenses associated with travel to the countries for which Wright maintains Indices; and the costs of subscribing to numerous publications and making extensive use of long-distance telecommunications facilities. The need to compensate Wright for incurring these expenses in maintaining the Indices distinguishes the Funds from traditional index funds with portfolios that track independent published indices available at little or no cost to the funds' managers. Shareholders of the Funds who are also advisory clients of Wright may have agreed to pay Wright a fee for such advisory services. Wright does not intend to exclude from the calculation of the investment advisory fees payable to Wright by such advisory clients the portion of the advisory fee payable by the Funds. Accordingly, a client may pay an advisory fee to Wright in accordance with Wright's customary investment advisory fee schedule charged to investment advisory clients and at the same time, as a shareholder in a Fund, bear its share of the advisory fee paid by the Fund to Wright as described above. The following table sets forth the net assets of each Fund that was offering its shares as at December 31, 1995 and the advisory fee rate paid from each such Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1995, the Australasia, Austria, Canada, France, Ireland, United States, Global, and International Funds had not commenced operations. Aggregate Net Assets Fee Rate for the Fiscal Year at 12/31/95 Ended 12/31/95 ------------------ ---------------------- Belgium/Luxembourg $14,752,875 0.75% Britain(1) 13,932,026 0.75% Germany(2) 16,418,960 0.75% Hong Kong 25,399,331 0.75% Japan 21,630,983 0.75% Mexico 32,493,042 0.75% Netherlands(3) 7,217,537 0.75% Nordic(4) 3,504,305 0.75% Switzerland 7,628,255 0.75%
(1) Start of business, April 20, 1995. (2) Start of business, April 19, 1995. (3) To enhance the net income of the Netherlands Fund, Wright made a reduction of its advisory fee in the amount of $2,868. (4) To enhance the net income of the Nordic Fund, Wright made a reduction of its advisory fee in the amount of $17,776 and was allocated $13,004 of expenses related to the operation of the Fund. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Contracts, Wright also furnishes for the use of each Fund office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of each Fund. Other than those expenses expressly stated to be payable by Wright under its Investment Advisory Contract, each Fund is responsible for all expenses relating to its operations including, but not limited to, Wright's advisory fee; Eaton Vance's administration fee; fees pursuant to the Trust's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan; taxes, if any; custodian, legal and auditing fees; fees and expenses of Trustees who are not members of, affiliated with or interested persons of Wright or Eaton Vance; insurance premiums; trade association dues; expenses of obtaining quotations for calculating the value of each Fund's net assets; printing and other expenses which are not expressly designated as expenses of Wright or Eaton Vance. Wright places the portfolio security transactions for each Fund, which in some cases may be effected in block transactions which include other accounts managed by Wright. Wright provides similar services directly for bank trust departments. Wright seeks to execute the Funds' portfolio security transactions on the most favorable terms and in the most effective manner possible. Subject to the foregoing, Wright may consider sales of shares of the Wright Funds as a factor in the selection of broker-dealer firms to execute such transactions. Portfolio changes may be made by Wright without regard to the length of time a security has been held. However, it is not the intention of the Funds to engage in trading for short-term profits. The frequency of each Fund's portfolio transactions or turnover rate may vary from year to year depending on market conditions. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) involves a correspondingly greater amount of brokerage commissions and other costs which must be borne directly by a Fund and thus indirectly by its shareholders. It may also result in the realization of larger amounts of net short-term capital gains, distributions from which are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and may, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. The investment advisory fees payable by the Funds may be higher than the advisory fees payable by many mutual funds; however, the Investment Adviser believes that such fees are consistent with the average fees payable by mutual funds which invest in foreign equity securities. The Administrator Each Fund engages Eaton Vance as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Under the Administration Agreement, Eaton Vance is responsible for managing the business affairs of each Fund, subject to the supervision of the Trust's Trustees. Eaton Vance's services include recordkeeping, preparation and filing of documents required to comply with federal and state securities laws, supervising the activities of the Funds' custodian and transfer agent, providing assistance in connection with the Trustees' and shareholders meetings and other administrative services necessary to conduct each Fund's business. Eaton Vance will not provide any investment management or advisory services to the Funds. For its services under the Administration Agreement, each Fund is required to pay Eaton Vance a monthly administration fee calculated at the annual rates (as a percentage of average daily net assets) set forth in the following table. ANNUAL % ADMINISTRATION FEE RATES Under $100 Million $250 Million Over $100 Million to $250 Million to $500 Million $500 Million - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.10% 0.06% 0.03% 0.02% For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, each of the Funds (Belgium/Luxembourg, Britain, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Nordic and Switzerland) paid an administration fee equivalent to 0.10% (annualized) of average daily net assets. Eaton Vance, its affiliates and its predecessor companies have been managing assets of individuals and institutions since 1924 and managing investment companies since 1931. In addition to acting as the administrator of the Funds, Eaton Vance or its affiliates act as investment adviser to investment companies and various individual and institutional clients with assets under management of approximately $16 billion. Eaton Vance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp., a publicly held holding company. Eaton Vance Corp., through its subsidiaries and affiliates, engages in investment management and marketing activities, oil and gas operations, real estate investment, consulting and management and the development of precious metals properties. Distribution Expenses In addition to the fees and expenses payable by each Fund in accordance with its Investment Advisory Contract and Administration Agreement, each Fund pays for certain expenses pursuant to a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") designed to meet the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and Article III, Section 26 of the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"). The Trust has entered into a distribution contract with Wright Investors' Service Distributors, Inc. ("WISDI" or the "Principal Underwriter"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Winthrop. Under this contract and the Plan, it is currently intended that each Fund will pay to WISDI for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services in connection with the Fund's shares, an annual fee equal to .25% of each Fund's average daily net assets. Appropriate adjustments to payments made pursuant to the Plan shall be made whenever necessary to assure that no payment is made by a Fund which exceeds the applicable maximum cap imposed on asset-based, front-end and deferred sales charges by Section 26(d) of Article III of the Rules of Fair Practice of the NASD. Pursuant to the Plan, the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, is authorized to compensate WISDI for (1) distribution services and (2) personal and account maintenance services performed and expenses incurred by WISDI in connection with the Fund's shares. The amount of such compensation, including compensation for personal and account maintenance services, paid during any one year shall not exceed .25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such compensation shall be calculated and accrued daily and paid quarterly. Distribution services and expenses for which WISDI may be compensated pursuant to this Plan include, without limitation: compensation to and expenses incurred by Authorized Dealers and the officers, employees and sales representatives of Authorized Dealers and of WISDI; allocable overhead, travel and telephone expenses; the printing of prospectuses and reports for other than existing shareholders; the preparation and distribution of sales literature and advertising; and all other expenses (other than personal and account maintenance services as defined below) incurred in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Funds' shares. Personal and account maintenance services include, but are not limited to, payments made to or on account of WISDI, Authorized Dealers and their respective officers, employees and sales representatives who respond to inquiries of, and furnish assistance to, shareholders concerning their ownership of Fund shares and their accounts or who provide similar services not otherwise provided by or on behalf of the Fund. The Plan is a compensation plan which provides for the payment of a specified distribution fee without regard to the distribution expenses actually incurred by WISDI. Accordingly, an amount equal to 1/365 of the annual distribution fee will be accrued on each day as an expense of each Fund, which will reduce its net investment income. If the Plan were terminated or not continued by the Trustees and no successor plan were adopted, the Funds would cease to make distribution payments to WISDI. WISDI would be unable to recover the amount of any unreimbursed distribution expendi- tures made by WISDI. However, WISDI does not intend to make distribution expenditures at a rate that materially exceeds the rate of compensation received under the Plan. Each Fund made distribution expense payments (as an annualized percentage of average daily net assets as follows: Belgium/Luxembourg (0.25%); Britain (0.25%); Germany (0.25%); Hong Kong (0.25%); Japan (0.25%); Mexico (0.25%); Netherlands (0.10%); Nordic (0.10%); and Switzerland (0.12%). WISDI reduced its distribution fees to the Netherlands, Nordic and Switzerland Funds by $9,853, $5,925 and $9,347, respectively. How the Funds Value their Shares The Trust values the shares of each Fund once on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. New York time). The net asset value is determined in the manner authorized by the Trustees of the Trust by the Funds' custodian (as agent for the Funds) with the assistance of Wright for securities that involve valuation problems. Such determination is accomplished by dividing the number of outstanding shares of each Fund into its net worth (the excess of its assets over its liabilities). Portfolio securities traded on more than one United States national securities exchange or foreign securities exchange are valued by the Funds' custodian at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities, unless those prices are deemed by Wright to be not representative of market values. Securities which cannot be valued at such prices, will be valued by Wright at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. Foreign currencies, options on foreign currencies and forward foreign currency contracts will be valued at their last sales price as determined by published quotations or as supplied by banks that deal in such instruments. The value of all assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollar value at the mean between the buying and selling rates of such currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by any major bank. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange will be determined in good faith by or under procedures established by the Trustees. Securities traded over-the-counter, unlisted securities and listed securities for which closing sale prices are not available are valued at the mean between latest bid and asked prices or, if such bid and asked prices are not available, at prices supplied by a pricing agent selected by Wright, unless such prices are deemed by Wright not to be representative of market values at the close of business of the NYSE. Securities for which market quotations are unavailable, restricted securities, securities for which prices are deemed by Wright not to be representative of market values and other assets will be appraised at their fair value as determined in good faith according to guidelines established by the Trustees of the Trust. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which the Trustees have determined approximates market value. Options traded on exchanges and over-the-counter will be valued at the last current sales price on the market where such option is principally traded. Over-the-counter and listed options for which a last sale price is not available will be valued on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers who regularly trade such options or if such quotations are not available or deemed by Wright not to be representative of market values, at fair value. Trading in securities on European and Far Eastern securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed well before the close of business on each business day in New York (i.e., a day on which the NYSE is open for trading). In addition, European or Far Eastern securities trading generally or in a particular country or countries may not take place on all business days in New York. Furthermore, trading takes place in Japanese markets on certain Saturdays and in various foreign markets on days which are not business days in New York and on which the Funds' net asset values are not calculated. Such calculation does not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of the majority of the portfolio securities used in such calculation. Events affecting the values of portfolio securities that occur between the time their prices are determined and the close of the NYSE will not be reflected in a Fund's calculation of net asset value unless Wright deems that the particular event would materially affect net asset value, in which case an adjustment will be made. How to Buy Shares Shares of each Fund are sold without a sales charge at the net asset value next determined after the receipt of a purchase order as described below. The minimum initial investment in each Fund is $1,000, although this will be waived for investments in 401(k) tax-sheltered retirement plans. There is no minimum amount required for subsequent purchases. The $1,000 minimum initial investment is also waived for Bank Draft Investing accounts which may be established with an investment of $50 or more with a minimum of $50 applicable to each subsequent investment. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any order for the purchase of its shares or to limit or suspend, without prior notice, the offering of its shares. Shares of each Fund may be purchased or redeemed through an investment dealer, bank or other institution. Charges may be imposed by the institution for its services. Any such charges could constitute a material portion of a smaller account. Shares may be purchased or redeemed directly from or with each Fund without imposition of any charges other than those described in this Prospectus. Purchases By Wire: Investors may purchase shares by transmitting immediately available funds (Federal Funds) by wire to: Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company One Boston Place Boston, MA ABA: 011001234 Account 081345 Further Credit: (Name of Fund) (Include your Fund account number) Initial purchase -- Upon making an initial investment by wire, an investor must first telephone the Order Department of the Funds at (800) 225-6265, ext. 3, to advise of the action and to be assigned an account number. If this telephone call is not made, it may not be possible to process the order promptly. In addition, an Account Instructions form, which is available through WISDI, should be promptly forwarded to First Data Investor Services Group (the "Transfer Agent") at the following address: WRIGHT MANAGED INVESTMENT FUNDS BOS 725 P.O. Box 1559 Boston, Massachusetts 02104 Subsequent Purchases -- Additional investments may be made at any time through the wire procedure described above. The Funds' Order Department must be immediately advised by telephone at (800) 225-6265, ext. 3 of each transmission of funds by wire. Purchases by Mail: Initial Purchases -- The Account Instructions form available through WISDI should be completed by an investor, signed and mailed with a check, Federal Reserve Draft, or other negotiable bank draft, drawn on a U.S. bank and payable in U.S. dollars, to the order of the Fund whose shares are being purchased and mailed to the Transfer Agent at the above address. Subsequent Purchases -- Additional purchases may be made at any time by an investor by check, Federal Reserve draft, or other negotiable bank draft, drawn on a U.S. bank and payable in U.S. dollars, to the order of the relevant Fund at the above address. The sub-account, if any, to which the subsequent purchase is to be credited should be identified together with the sub-account number and, unless otherwise agreed, the name of the sub-account. Bank Draft Investing -- for regular share accumulation: Cash investments of $50 or more may be made through the shareholder's checking account via bank draft each month or quarter. The $1,000 minimum initial investment and small account redemption policy are waived for Bank Draft Investing accounts. Purchase through Exchange of Securities: Investors wishing to purchase shares of a Fund through an exchange of portfolio securities should contact WISDI to determine the acceptability of the securities and make the proper arrangements. The shares of a Fund may be purchased, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Funds' custodian securities that meet the investment objective and policies of the relevant Fund, have readily ascertainable market prices and quotations and which are otherwise acceptable to the Investment Adviser and the Fund. The Trust will only accept securities in exchange for shares of the Funds for investment purposes and not as agent for the shareholders with a view to a resale of such securities. The Investment Adviser, WISDI and the Funds reserve the right to reject all or any part of the securities offered in exchange for shares of a Fund. An investor who wishes to make an exchange should furnish to WISDI a list with a full and exact description of all of the securities which he proposes to deliver. WISDI or the Investment Adviser will specify those securities which the Fund is prepared to accept and will provide the investor with the necessary forms to be completed and signed by the investor. The investor should then send the securities, in proper form for transfer, with the necessary forms to the Funds' Custodian and certify that there are no legal or contractual restrictions on the free transfer and sale of the securities. Exchanged securities will be valued at their fair market value as of the date that the securities in proper form for transfer and the accompanying purchase order are both received by the Trust, using the procedures for valuing portfolio securities as described under "How the Funds Value their Shares" on page 30. However, if the NYSE or appropriate foreign stock exchange is not open for unrestricted trading on such date, such valuation shall be on the next day on which the NYSE or foreign stock exchange is so open. In any event, all valuations are determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trust's Trustees. The net asset value used for purposes of pricing shares sold under the exchange program will be the net asset value next determined following the receipt of both the securities offered in exchange and the accompanying purchase order. Securities to be exchanged must have a minimum aggregate value of $5,000. An exchange of securities is a taxable transaction which may result in realization of a gain or loss for federal and state income tax purposes. How Shareholder Accounts Are Maintained Upon the initial purchase of a Fund's shares, an account will be opened for the account or sub-account of an investor. Subsequent investments may be made at any time by mail to the Transfer Agent or by wire, as noted above. There is currently a $500 minimum account balance which is required to be maintained by Fund shareholders. The Trust has the right, upon 60 days' notice to shareholders, to involuntarily redeem shares, at the net asset value in accounts which do not meet this minimum account requirement. However, no such redemption would be required by a Fund if the cause of the low account balance was a reduction in the net asset value of Fund shares. Confirmation statements indicating total shares of each Fund owned in the account or each sub-account will be mailed to investors quarterly and at the time of each purchase (other than reinvestment of dividends or distributions) or redemption. The issuance of shares will be recorded on the books of the relevant Fund. The Trust does not issue share certificates. Distributions and Dividends by the Funds The Trust intends to pay dividends from the net investment income of each Fund as shown on the Fund's books at least annually. Any realized net capital gains from the sale of securities in a Fund's portfolio or from transactions in forward contracts or options (reduced by any available capi- tal loss carryforwards from prior years) will be also paid at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest dividends, and accumulate capital gains distributions, if any, in additional shares of the same Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date. Unless shareholders otherwise instruct, all distributions and dividends will be automatically invested in additional shares of the same Fund. Alternatively, shareholders may reinvest capital gains distributions and direct that dividends be paid in cash, or that both dividends and capital gains distributions be paid in cash. Taxes Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund has qualified and elected or intends to qualify and elect to be treated as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes. In order to so qualify, each Fund must meet certain requirements with respect to sources of income, diversification of assets, and distributions to shareholders. Each Fund does not pay federal income or excise taxes to the extent that it distributes to its shareholders all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains in accordance with the timing requirements of the Code. None of the Funds will be subject to income, corporate excise or franchise taxation in Massachusetts in any year in which it qualifies as a regulated investment company under the Code. For federal income tax purposes, a shareholder's proportionate share of distributions from each Fund's net investment income and net short-term capital gains as well as distributions of certain foreign currency gains is taxable as ordinary income, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares. It is not expected that any portion of a Fund's distributions (with the possible exception of certain distributions from Global Fund and/or United States Fund) will qualify for the corporate dividends-received deduction. A shareholder's proportionate share of distributions of each Fund's net long-term capital gains is taxable as long-term capital gains whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares, regardless of how long the shareholder has held the Fund shares. Distributions on Fund shares shortly after their purchase, although in effect a return of a portion of the purchase price, are generally subject to federal income tax. Distributions declared by a Fund in October, November or December of any calendar year to shareholders of record as of a date in such month and paid the following January will be treated for Federal income tax purposes as having been received by the shareholder on December 31 of the year in which they are declared. In order to avoid federal excise tax, the Code requires that each Fund distribute (or be deemed to have distributed) by December 31 of each calendar year at least 98% of its ordinary income for such year, at least 98% of the excess of its realized capital gains over its realized capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such year or, at the election of a Fund with a taxable year ending on December 31, for such taxable year and 100% of any income and capital gains from the prior year (as previously computed) that was not paid out during such year and on which the Fund paid no federal income tax. A Fund may be subject to foreign withholding or other foreign taxes with respect to income (possibly including, in some cases, capital gains) that it derives from investments in foreign securities and may make an election under Section 853 of the Code that would allow shareholders to claim a credit or deduction on their federal income tax returns for (and treat as additional amounts distributed to them) their pro rata portion of qualified taxes paid by such Fund to foreign countries. This election may be made only if more than 50% of the assets of the Fund at the close of a taxable year consists of securities in foreign corporations. Availability of foreign tax credits or deductions for shareholders is subject to certain additional restrictions and limitations at the Fund and shareholder levels. Annually, shareholders of each Fund that are not exempt from information reporting requirements will receive information on Form 1099 to assist in reporting the prior calendar year's distributions and redemptions (including exchanges) on federal and state income tax returns. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax status of distributions from the Funds or the redemption (including an exchange) of Fund shares in their own states and localities. Under Section 3406 of the Code, individuals and other non-exempt shareholders will be subject to backup withholding of 31% on taxable distributions made by a Fund and on the proceeds of redemptions (including exchanges) of shares of the Fund if they fail to provide to a Fund their correct taxpayer identification numbers and certain required certifications or if the Internal Revenue Service or a broker notifies a Fund that the number furnished by the shareholder is incorrect or that the shareholder is otherwise subject to such withholding. If such withholding is applicable, such distributions and proceeds will be reduced by the amount of tax required to be withheld. Special tax rules apply to IRA accounts (including penalties on certain distributions and other transactions) and to other special classes of investors, such as tax-exempt organizations, banks or insurance companies. Investors should consult their tax advisers for more information. Shareholders who are not United States persons should also consult their tax advisers about the potential application of certain U.S. taxes, including a U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate) on distributions representing ordinary income to them (including foreign taxes deemed to be paid by them), and of foreign taxes to their investment in the Funds. How to Exchange Shares Shares of any Fund may be exchanged for shares of the other funds in The Wright Managed Equity Trust, The Wright Managed Income Trust or The Wright EquiFund Equity Trust at net asset value at the time of the exchange. This exchange offer is available only in states where shares of such other fund may be legally sold. Each exchange is subject to a minimum initial investment of $1,000 in each fund. Shareholders purchasing shares from an Authorized Dealer may effect exchanges between the above funds through their Authorized Dealer who will transmit information regarding the requested exchanges to the Transfer Agent. First Data Investor Services Group makes exchanges at the next determined net asset value after receiving a request in writing mailed to the address provided under "How to Buy Shares." Telephone exchanges are also accepted if the exchange involves shares valued at less than $50,000 and on deposit with First Data Investor Services Group. All shareholders are automatically eligible for the telephone exchange privilege. To effect such exchanges, call First Data Investor Services Group at (800) 262-1122 or, within Massachusetts, (617) 573-9403, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). All such telephone exchanges must be registered in the same name(s) and with the same address and social security or other taxpayer identification number as are registered with the Fund from which the exchange is being made. See "How to Redeem or Sell Shares -- By Telephone" for a description of the procedures the Funds employ to ensure that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. None of the Trust, the Funds, the Principal Underwriter or First Data Investor Services Group will be responsible for the authenticity of exchange instructions received by telephone, provided that reasonable procedures have been followed to confirm that instructions communicated are genuine, and if such procedures are not followed, the Trust, the Funds, the Principal Underwriter or First Data Investor Services Group may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions. Telephone instructions will be tape recorded. In times of drastic economic or market changes, a telephone exchange may be difficult to implement. Generally, shareholders will be limited to four Telephone Exchange round-trips per year and a Fund may refuse requests for Telephone Exchanges in excess of four round-trips (a round-trip being the exchange out of the Fund into another Wright Fund, and then back to the Fund). The Trust believes that use of the Exchange Privilege by investors utilizing market-timing strategies adversely affects the Funds. Therefore, the Trust generally will not honor requests for exchanges, including Telephone Exchanges, by shareholders identified by the Trust as "market-timers." When calling to make a telephone exchange, shareholders should have available their account number and social security or other taxpayer identification numbers. Additional documentation may be required for exchange requests if shares are registered in the name of a corporation, partnership or fiduciary. Any exchange request may be rejected by a Fund or the Principal Underwriter at its discretion. The exchange privilege may be changed or discontinued without penalty at any time. Shareholders will be given 60 days' prior notice of any termination or material amendment of the exchange privilege. Contact the Transfer Agent, First Data Investor Services Group, for additional information concerning the Exchange Privilege. A shareholder should read the prospectus of the other fund and consider the differences in objectives and policies before making any exchange. Shareholders should be aware that for federal and state income tax purposes, an exchange is a taxable transaction which may result in recognition of a gain or loss. How to Redeem or Sell Shares Shares of a Fund will be redeemed at the net asset value next determined after receipt of a redemption request in good order as described below. Proceeds will be mailed within seven days of such receipt. However, at various times a Fund may be requested to redeem shares for which it has not yet received good payment. If the shares to be redeemed represent an investment made by check, each Fund will delay payment of the redemption proceeds until the check has been collected which, depending upon the location of the issuing bank, could take up to 15 days. For federal and state income tax purposes, a redemption of shares is a taxable transaction which may result in recognition of a gain or loss. Through Authorized Dealers: Shareholders using Authorized Dealers may redeem shares through such Dealers. By Telephone: All shareholders are automatically eligible for the telephone redemption privilege, unless the account application indicates otherwise. Shareholders may effect a redemption by calling the Funds' Order Department at (800) 225-6265, (8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). In times when the volume of telephone redemptions is heavy, additional phone lines will automatically be added by the Funds. However, in times of drastic economic or market changes, a telephone redemption may be difficult to implement. When calling to make a telephone redemption, shareholders should have available their account number. A telephone redemption will be made at that day's net asset value, provided that the telephone redemption request is received prior to 4:00 p.m. on that day. Telephone redemption requests received after 4:00 p.m. will be effected at the net asset value determined for the next trading day. Payment will be made by check to the address of record or, if an appropriate election was made on the application form, by wire transfer to the bank account or address designated. Payment is normally made within one business day after receipt of the redemption request in good order. Trust Departments may make redemptions and deposit the proceeds in checking or other accounts of clients, as specified in instructions furnished to the Funds at the time of initially purchasing Fund shares. None of the Trust, the Funds, the Principal Underwriter or First Data Investor Services Group will be responsible for the authenticity of redemption instructions received by telephone, provided that reasonable procedures have been followed to confirm that instructions communicated are genuine, and if such procedures are not followed, the Trust, the Funds, the Principal Underwriter or First Data Investor Services Group may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions. Also, shareholders may effect a redemption by calling the Funds' Transfer Agent, First Data Investor Services Group, at (800) 262-1122 (8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) if the redemption involves shares valued at less than $50,000 and on deposit with First Data Investor Services Group. Payment will be made by check to the address of record. Telephone instructions will be tape recorded. By Mail: A shareholder may also redeem all or any number of shares at any time by mail by delivering the request with a stock power to the Transfer Agent, First Data Investor Services Group, Wright Managed Investment Funds, BOS725, P.O. Box 1559, Boston, Massachusetts 02104. As in the case of telephone requests, payments will normally be made within one business day after receipt of the redemption request in good order. Good order means that written redemption requests or stock powers must be endorsed by the record owner(s) exactly as the shares are registered and the signature(s) must be guaranteed by a member of either the Securities Transfer Association's STAMP program or the NYSE's Medallion Signature Program, or certain banks, savings and loan institutions, credit unions, securities dealers, securities exchanges, clearing agencies and registered securities associations as required by a regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission and acceptable to First Data Investor Services Group. In addition, in some cases, good order may require furnishing of additional documents such as where shares are registered in the name of a corporation, partnership or fiduciary. Redemption Fee: For shares purchased after December 31, 1995, a redemption fee of 1 1/2% of the redemption proceeds will be assessed on the redemption of shares redeemed within 30 days of purchase. This redemption fee will be paid by each redeeming shareholder to, and retained by, the respective Fund. The right to redeem shares of a Fund and to receive payment therefor may be suspended at times (a) when the securities markets are closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (b) when trading is restricted for any reason, (c) when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by a Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for a Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets, or (d) when the Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits a suspension of the right of redemption or a postponement of the date of payment or redemption. Due to the relatively high costs of maintaining small accounts, each Fund reserves the right to redeem fully at net asset value any Fund account (including accounts of clients of fiduciaries) which at any time, due to redemptions or exchanges, amounts to less than $500 for that Fund; any shareholder who makes a partial redemption which reduces his account in a Fund to less than $500 would be subject to the Fund's right to redeem such account. Prior to the execution of any such redemption, notice will be sent and the shareholder will be allowed 60 days from the date of notice to make an additional investment to meet the required minimum of $500 per Fund. However, no such redemption would be required by a Fund if the cause of the low account balance was a reduction in the net asset value of Fund shares. Performance Information From time to time a Fund may publish its yield and/or average annual total return in advertisements and communications to shareholders. The current yield for a Fund will be calculated by divid- ing the net investment income per share during a recent 30-day period by the maximum offering price per share of the Fund on the last day of the period. The results are compounded on a bond equivalent (semi-annual) basis and then annualized. A Fund's average annual total return is determined by computing the annual percentage change in value of $1,000 invested at the public offering price (i.e., net asset value per share) for specified periods ending with the most recent calendar quarter, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value. Investors should note that the investment results of a Fund will fluctuate over time, and any presentation of a Fund's current yield or total return for any prior period should not be considered as a representation of what an investment may earn or what an investor's yield or total return may be in any future period. The reduction of fees or assumption of expenses by Wright, WISDI or Eaton Vance will result in a Fund's higher performance. Other Information The Trust is a business trust established under Massachusetts law and is an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated July 14, 1989, as amended and restated December 20, 1989 and further amended April 13, 1995 to change the name of the Trust from EquiFund - Wright National Fiduciary Equity Funds to The Wright EquiFund Equity Trust. The Trust consists of seventeen series. Each Fund's activities are supervised by the Trustees of the Trust. Although each Fund is offering only its own shares, since the Funds use this combined Prospectus, it is possible that a Fund might become liable for a misstatement or omission in this Prospectus regarding another Fund. The Trustees have considered this factor in approving the use of a combined Prospectus. The Trust's shares of beneficial interest have no par value and may be issued in two or more series or "funds." The Trustees are empowered by the Declaration of Trust and By-laws to change the name of any existing series and to create additional series without obtaining shareholder approval. The Trust's shares may be issued in an unlimited number by its Trustees. Each share of a series represents an equal proportionate beneficial interest in that series and, when issued and outstanding, the shares are fully paid and non-assessable by the relevant series. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held. Fractional shares may be voted in proportion to the amount of the net asset value of a series which they represent. Voting rights are not cumulative, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of Trustees of the Trust can elect 100% of the Trustees and, in such event, the holders of the remaining less than 50% of the shares voting on the matter will not be able to elect any Trustees. As of January 31, 1996, Resources Trust Co., P.O. Box 3865, Englewood, CO was the record holder of 94.6%, 97.5%, 97.3%, 55.0%, 53.1%, 70.1%, 69.7% and 81.7%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Belgium/Luxembourg, Britain, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Netherlands, Nordic, and Switzerland Funds held on behalf of its clients; Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA was the record holder of 31.1%, and 43.6%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Hong Kong and Mexico Funds held on behalf of its clients. Shares will be voted by individual series except to the extent required by the 1940 Act. Shares have no preemptive or conversion rights and are freely transferable. Upon liquidation of a series, shareholders are entitled to share pro rata in the net assets of that series available for distribution to shareholders, and in any general assets of the Trust not allocated to a particular series by the Trustees. As permitted by Massachusetts law, there will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless and until such time as less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders. In such an event the Trustees then in office will call a shareholders' meeting for the election of Trustees. Except for the foregoing circumstances and unless removed by action of the shareholders in accordance with the Trust's By-laws, the Trustees shall continue to hold office and may appoint successor Trustees. The Trustees shall only be liable in cases of their willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of their duties. The Trust's By-laws provide that no person shall serve as a Trustee if shareholders holding two-thirds of the outstanding shares have removed him from that office either by a written declaration filed with the Trust's custodian or by votes cast at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees shall promptly call a meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of voting upon a question of removal of a Trustee when requested so to do by the record holders of not less than 10% of the Trust's outstanding shares. Tax-Sheltered Retirement Plans The Funds may be suitable investments for Individual Retirement Account Plans for individuals and their non-employed spouses, Pension and Profit Sharing Plans for self-employed individuals, corporations and non-profit organizations, or 401(k) tax-sheltered retirement plans. The minimum initial purchase of $1,000 per Fund will be waived for investments by 401(k) plans.

The following summaries are designed to provide a general discussion of economic and other conditions in each of these countries. The information in these summaries has been derived from sources that Wright believes to be reliable, but the data has not been independently verified. International investments, like many things, have both benefits and risks. The benefits are real and can be quite substantial. One of the key benefits is diversification, as the correlation among international securities tend to be much lower than the correlation among securities within any single country. There are also risks to be considered. Investors in any single country should understand the economic potential of investments in such a country as well as the relationship of the currency of that country to the investor's own currency. Several other items must be considered by the investor including the reliability of information about the various companies within the country, legal restrictions, and the economic and social characteristics that are unique to each country. See Appendix B in the Statement of Additional Information for additional economic and financial information about countries in which the Funds may invest. The Wright EquiFunds limit their investment consideration to the world's major industrialized nations and to those nations for which WORLDSCOPE(R), the information database of Wright Investors' Service, provides comprehensive and reliable investment information. Wright Investors' Service believes that WORLDSCOPE(R) has counteracted the lack of quality information which has been a major problem for the international investor. Political and Economic Considerations Potential international investors must be aware of political and economic actions which might change the investment environment. For example, the members of the European Union (EU) (successor to the European Communities EC, the Common Market), which is the designation of three organizations (the European Economic Community or EEC, the European Coal and Steel Community, and the European Atomic Energy Community) with common membership and, since July of 1967, a common executive, have agreed that a single European market will remove all barriers to free trade and free movement of capital and people. The effect of European unification will be to create a major economic trading unit composed of the entire fifteen members of the EU (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden). The macroeconomic effects of such unification could be substantially higher economic growth. Economies of scale and lower costs could lead to reduced inflation while fiscal reform and budget restraint might reduce budget deficits despite an initial higher rate of unemployment. It is not possible to predict the precise impact of European unity or if all the program goals incorporated in the Maastricht Treaty of 1991 will be achieved. However, Wright believes that European economic integration offering substantial long-term economic benefits to the member nations will ultimately come to pass. The European Currency Unit (ECU) is the official accounting unit of the EEC and, as such, is used by member nations for budgetary purposes in setting common agricultural prices and in the accounts of the EU institutions since the implementation of the European Monetary System (EMS) in March of 1979. The major aim of the EMS is to achieve close monetary and economic cooperation among the member countries of the EU and, in particular, to create a zone of monetary stability. The ECU is an open-basket currency whose value is based on the weighted value of the member currencies with weights based on each member's share of intra-Europe trade and the relative size of its GDP. Each member nation values its currency in terms of the ECU. Nine of the member currencies (Dutch guilder, German mark, Austrian schilling, Belgian franc, Portuguese escudo, Danish prone, French franc, Irish punt and Spanish peseta) form the EMS grid. If an EMS grid member's currency deviates more than 15% (2.25% for the mark and guilder) of the agreed central rates against the other members of the mechanism, the member nation must take steps to correct the problem or to either devalue or revalue its currency. Following the currency turmoil of 1992, Great Britain and Italy withdrew from the EMS's exchange Rate mechanism effectively devaluing the pound and the lira. They have remained outside the EMS but continue to measure the value of their currency against the EMS grid. Spain and Italy devalued their currency against the EMS grid in March of 1995. The "official ECU" is used between European monetary authorities to settle debts they incur with one another as a result of their interventions in the currency markets. There is also a private or commercial ECU, the use of which has increased substantially over the last few years. Its stature increased with the issue of the first Euro-ECU bonds in 1981, and it is now one of the most widely used currencies for international bond issuance. The ECU enjoys greater popularity than was envisioned at its inception in 1979. It is known far beyond Europe as a currency unit freely convertible into all major currencies. It is widely used to price, invoice, and settle transactions involving goods and services. Thousands of Europeans now use ECU's to buy cars, pay hotel bills or transact other business on ECU credit cards and on ECU-denominated checking accounts or travelers checks. There are other examples of political and economic events, some quite dramatic, which impact the investment environment. In the past decade, there has been world-wide movement towards "privatization" of government owned and operated companies. Examples include the water com panies in the Great Britain, the banks in France, etc. The economies of Austria and Portugal are especially expected to benefit from privatization in the coming years. Recent dramatic developments in the former Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc nations, China, Central America, and South Africa can be expected to have a major, but as yet not fully predictable, impact on the world in general and the nations in which the Fund will invest in particular. It remains to be seen if the fledgling democracies can successfully cope with the many economic dislocations which have accompanied the fall of the old order. It also remains to be seen what reactions other nations will have towards a reduced Soviet military threat and potential for increased trade. The dismantling of the Berlin Wall in November of 1989 led to the economic unification of the economically weak East Germany with the economically strong West Germany in July 1990. This was followed by the political unification on October 3, 1990. The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) consisting of Austria, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland with associated member Finland, was created in January of 1960 with the objective to gradually reduce customs duties and quantitative restrictions between members on industrial products. All tariffs and quotas were eliminated by year-end 1966. EFTA entered into free-trade agreements with the EU in January of 1973. Trade barriers were removed by July 1976. EFTA is expected to expand to include Central European countries. The world-wide trade movement towards increasingly Free Market economies has been helped by the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) successor to GATT. Members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) (Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United States, Greece, Turkey, Germany, and Spain) agreed to settle disputes by peaceful means, to develop individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack, and to regard an attack on one as an attack on all. With the demise of the former Warsaw Pact nations of the communist world, political tensions in Europe appear to have materially eased. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) was established in September of 1961 to promote economic and social welfare in member countries and to stimulate and harmonize efforts on behalf of developing nations. The OECD collects and disseminates from its Paris headquarters economic and environmental information to members which represent nearly all the industrialized "free market" countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Great Britain, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United States and with Yugoslavia as an associate member. Restrictions on Foreign Investment Another issue which must be addressed by global investors is the possibility of investment restrictions. Some countries impose restrictions on foreigners investing in their country. These restrictions may limit the amount of foreign investment or in some cases create a separate class of securities which may be purchased by foreigner investors at a different price from similar securities purchased by domestic investment. The countries in which the Funds will invest do not impose restrictions on portfolio investments although Sweden and Switzerland do have two classes of shares (see below) while Italy, Sweden, and Japan do have some special regulations which the Fund must comply with. Other potential pitfalls to foreign investment include high transaction costs, including brokerage fees, stock turnover taxes, exchange rates, and miscellaneous costs. These vary widely by type of investment and by country. Consideration must also be given to withholding taxes. Most countries levy non-refundable withholding taxes on interest and dividend income earned by non-residents on domestic investments. The withholding tax rates disclosed below are subject to changes. While the existence of reciprocal tax treaties between many countries may to some extent mitigate that impact, such treaties are frequently not available to institutions such as open-ended mutual funds. Note that unlike in the U.S. and Canada, where dividends are geneally paid quarterly, dividends in most nations are paid only once (annually) or twice (semi-annually) a year. Liquidity or the ability of an investor to dispose of his or her holdings quickly at a reasonable cost may be a special concern with foreign investments. Sometimes there may be difficulties involved in selling instruments in those countries where secondary markets are not broad or actively traded. Political or sovereign risk is still another concern. This addresses the issue of whether the government may take action which would reduce the value of an investor's assets. The industrial nations involved with the Funds are basically stable and, except as noted under Political and Economic Considerations above, it is not believed that there would be a significant change due to an election or revolution. However, one nation, Hong Kong, will be taken over by the Chinese government in 1997 and there is considerable uncertainty as to the impact of such a takeover. The size of the markets is another concern. In December of 1994, FT Actuaries/Goldman Sachs calculated the world equity market at some U.S. $9,186 billion. This market is dominated by the U.S. ($3,296 billion) and Japan ($2,747 billion). Other nations of significant size include Switzerland ($225 billion), Italy ($133 billion), France ($330 billion), Canada ($148 billion), Germany ($339 billion), and Great Britain ($905 billion). In 1991, world equity markets posted sharp advances despite concerns about the U.S. deficit, world debt and recession in a good part of the world. In 1994, the Financial Times Actuaries World Index, which is composed of around 2,200 securities from 24 nations, posted a total return of 5.8% in 1994 in terms of U.S. dollars. The FT-Actuaries World Index showed a total return of 19.8% for 1993 following a 5.1% decline in 1992. Following is a table summarizing the market capital, total return performance, price/earnings ratios and normal settlement time. 1993 1994 1995 1995 Market FT/S&P FT/S&P FT/S&P P/E NATION Capital Index Index Index Ratio SETTLEMENT (1) (2) (2) (2) (2) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Australia 168.9 38.3% 6.5% 15.2% 18.7 Five business days Austria 17.5 34.0% -0.2% -3.3% 22.2 Second Monday after trading week Belgium 80.3 27.8% 7.8% 29.1% 14.6 Cash market -- same day Canada 170.6 20.8% -2.2% 17.7% 13.4 Five business days Denmark 39.3 34.5% 3.1% 16.4% 16.8 Three business days Finland 29.6 78.9% 52.1% 2.0% 11.3 Five business days France 371.3 23.5% -4.2% 13.2% 23.8 Usually last business day of month Germany 401.9 37.7% 4.0% 16.5% 26.7 Two business days Great Britain 1,091.3 23.8% -1.2% 23.3% 15.7 Two-week rolling average Hong Kong 212.8 128.3% -31.3% 23.6% 12.3 Next business day Ireland 19.1 41.3% 15.1% 28.3% 10.6 Bi-weekly Japan 2,846.6 25.0% 21.5% -0.4% 100+ Three business days Luxembourg -- -- -- -- -- -- Malaysia 116.3 130.7% -17.7% 3.0% 23.3 See note (3) Mexico 38.7 46.4% -40.0% -25.5% 16.8 Two business days, see note (4) Netherlands 231.6 36.6% 12.6% 30.2% 16.5 Within 10 days New Zealand 22.4 65.3% 7.9% 18.4% 14.5 Five business days Norway 24.6 32.7% 20.7% 10.8% 18.3 Seven business days Singapore 64.0 75.3% 3.2% 11.1% 27.2 Tuesday of the following week Sweden 129.3 20.7% 19.5% 37.7% 11.9 Five business days Switzerland 328.9 44.3% 5.0% 45.4% 20.8 Three business days United States 4,935.8 9.6% 1.7% 37.3% 17.1 Five business days - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Indian Ocean is west and south, the Pacific Ocean is east. The population, which is growing at 1.5% a year, is estimated to be 18 million with a density of 6 people per square mile. Major cities are Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. Iron, steel, textiles, electrical equipment, chemicals, autos, aircraft, ships, machinery, cattle, and wool are the chief industries. The currency is the Australian dollar (December 1995: AUD 1.35 = $1 U.S). The Gross Domestic Product was U.S. $306 billion in 1994, or about $17,000 per capita. The 1994 current account trade balance is estimated to have been negative $13 billion. According to the OECD, real GDP growth was around 3.3% in 1995 and should average around 3.0% per year in 1996-97. Australia is a major power in the Southeast Pacific with close ties to Japan and Southeast Asia. It is an important agricultural nation and is the world's primary wool producer. There are seven stock exchanges in Australia with the major ones being the Australian Stock Exchange and the Sydney Stock Exchange both based in Sydney; Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne and Perth. Dividends on Australian shares are usually paid semi-annually. Companies occasionally issue bonus shares which, since they are issued without any corresponding capital inflow, automatically dilute shareholders' value. However, shareholders wealth is unaffected and, as the dividend rate is usually maintained on the increased number of shares, a bonus issue effectively results in the increase of the dividend return. Australia has always relied on foreign capital to assist in financing economic development. Foreigners are free to invest in most sectors of the economy. Exchange controls were, for the most part, abolished at the end of 1983. Those that remain are essentially designed to combat international tax avoidance. Dividends are exempt from withholding tax to the extent they qualify as franked dividends. In general, dividends are franked if they are paid out of profits that have borne corporate income tax at the full rate of 39%. If the dividends are unfranked, a final withholding tax of 30% is levied. AUSTRIA is located in southcentral Europe. Its neighbors are Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Italy. The population is estimated to be 8 million. Major cities are Vienna, Graz and Linz. Steel, machinery, autos, electrical and optical equipment, glassware, sport goods, paper, textiles, chemicals and cement are the chief industries. The currency is the Schilling (December 1995: ATS 10.07 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $193 billion in 1994, or about $24,000 per capita. Agriculture makes up 3% of the GDP, the industrial section 38% and the service sector 59%. Defense spending is 1.2% of the GDP while education spending equals 6.0%. The 1994 current account trade balance was $311 million. Austria joined the European Union in 1994. The relatively small size of Austria's securities markets may make it difficult for the Austrian National Fiduciary Equity Fund to effect purchases or sales of portfolio securities without causing an increase or decrease in the market price of such securities. The trading activities of competing investment companies may also have an adverse effect on securities prices or reduce the availability of securities appropriate for inclusion in the Fund's portfolio. Frequently, trading in Austria is accomplished "off-exchange" through banks which may also serve as broker/dealers and investment advisers. Since these banks may simultaneously be dealing for their own account or the account of clients in such instances, such "off-exchange" trading could involve conflicts of interest. Austria produces most of its food as well as an array of industrial products. Historically, a large part of the economy is controlled by state enterprises but this is changing through the increasing privatization of such enterprises. The rate of nonrefundable dividend withholding tax is currently 20%. BELGIUM is located in northwest Europe on the North Sea. The population is estimated to be 10 million. There are two main ethnic groups. The Dutch-speaking Flemish make up about 60% of the population located in the north and west of the country; and the French-speaking Walloons account for the remaining 40% and are located to the south and east. The divisions between these two groups are not only linguistic but also economic, social and cultural. Brussels is officially bilingual, and English and German are widely used for business purposes and by visitors. Major cities are Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Charleroi and Liege. Steel, glassware, diamond cutting, textiles and chemicals are the chief industries. The currency is the Belgian Franc (December 1995: BEF 29.41 = $1 U.S.).

The rate of nonrefundable dividend withholding tax is currently 25%. CANADA, the world's second largest country, is located in North America, southward from the North Pole to the U.S. border. The population is estimated to be 29 million. Canada is divided into ten provinces and two territories. It is an urban society with most of the principal cities located close to the U.S. border. Both English and French are official languages, but French predominates in the Province of Quebec where it is the official working language while English is used throughout the rest of the country. Major cities are Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa-Hull, Edmonton, Calgary, and Quebec. Mining, oil and gas, paper and forest products, consumer products, industrial products, chemicals, real estate, construction, transportation, finance, and communications are the chief industries.

GERMANY is located in central Europe with Denmark on the north, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France on the west, Switzerland and Austria on the south and Poland and Czechoslo vakia to the east. The dismantling of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 led to the economic unification of East and West Germany in July of 1990. Political unification followed on October 3, 1990. The population is estimated to be 81 million. Major cities are Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Leipzig, Dresden and Stuttgart.

Hamburg and Munich are also important, while Berlin, Dusseldorf, Hanover, Bremen, and Stuttgart are regional exchanges only. The equity market is not considered to be an especially important component of Germany's capital markets since equity issues are not a major source of financing for German corporations. The shares of approximately 600 companies are listed for trading on stock exchanges, but perhaps only 100 or so of these would be considered suitable for investor trading as many issues listed are tightly controlled private groups and banks. Equity markets in Germany are dominated by the German Banks and most brokerage is conducted through the major banks, all of which have seats on the major exchanges. There are two basic types of German companies: Aktiengesellschaft (AG) represents an independent legal entity formed by Articles of Incorporation. AG shares are fully transferable and eligible to be traded on German stock exchanges. They are normally registered unless the company by-laws allow for bearer shares. The second type of company is Beschrankter (GmbH) which is similar to the AG, but the shares are not freely transferrable and cannot be traded on a stock exchange. There are no portfolio investment restrictions. The nonrefundable dividend withholding tax rate is currently 25%. GREAT BRITAIN is the principal port of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, located on an island off the northwest coast of Europe and comprising of England, Scotland and Wales. The population is estimated to be 58 million. Major cities are London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester and Edinburgh. Steel, metals, vehicles, shipbuilding, shipping, banking, insurance, textiles, chemicals, electronics, aircraft machinery and distilling are the chief industries. The currency is the English Pound (December 1995: GBP 1 = $1.55 U.S.) The Gross Domestic Product was $890 billion in 1994, or about $15,000 per capita. The 1994 current account trade balance was negative $2.4 billion. The United Kingdom is a member of the European Union. The London Stock Exchange is the oldest and the largest security exchange in Great Britain. There are 13 provincial exchanges which, with London, make up the International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Most of the securities trading in Great Britain takes place on the London Stock Exchange although trading facilities are still maintained on the floor of the Provincial exchanges. The equity markets in Great Britain are considered to be among the most highly developed in the World. All exchange controls and restrictions were removed in 1979. The nonrefundable dividend withholding tax rate is currently 25%. HONG KONG, a Crown Colony, is located at the mouth of the Canton River in China, 90 miles south of Canton. The population is estimated to be 5.7 million. English and Cantonese are the languages of commerce. Textiles, apparel, tourism, shipbuilding, iron and steel, fishing, cement and small manufacturers are the chief industries. The currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (December 1995: HKD 7.73 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was estimated at $108.7 billion in 1993, or about $19,094 per capita. The 1991 current account trade balance was positive $2 billion. The governments of the United Kingdom and the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) have entered into an agreement whereby sovereignty over Hong Kong will be restored to the PRC July 1, 1997. Hong Kong will then be a special administrative region with its own law for another fifty years (up to 2047). There is considerable uncertainty as to the impact of the Chinese takeover. It is possible that the Chinese takeover will accelerate the departure of capital and productive individuals. Hong Kong developed from a trading zone into a major manufacturing and financial center of world importance after the outbreak of the Korean War. It has an excellent economic infrastructure with highly developed international communications, and transportation, as well as local roads, subways and water transportation. However, the influx of refugees from other Asian countries may strain Hong Kong's economic and social resources and structure. The Colony's financial institutions have been reconstituted following the 1987 world markets crash and they have successfully withstood subsequent pressures. The stock market crash of 1987 and subsequent arrest on corruption charges of the chairman and several other top officials of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange precipitated major reform including the establishment of the powerful new Securities and Futures Commission which began operations in May of 1989. The government has taken the position that the territory must steer a delicate course between overregulation and underregulation. Hong Kong's investment and trade ties with the Peoples Republic of China are significantly increasing. The PRC presently makes up about 38% of imports into Hong Kong, and re-exports from the PRC constitute a large percentage of Hong Kong's total exports. It is to be expected that the Hong Kong stock market will remain dependent upon prevailing perceptions of political developments in China. Foreign enterprises are treated virtually the same as domestic enterprises and there are no restrictions in exchange of foreign currencies or on the repatriation of profits. Import and export licenses are easy to obtain. There are no exchange controls, investment restrictions or dividend withholding taxes. THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND is the western-most nation of Europe, located in the Atlantic Ocean just west of Britain. Population is estimated at 3.6 million, one-eighth of which live in the capital city of Dublin. Important industries in the national economy are food, textiles, chemicals, brewing, machinery, tourism and services. The national currency of Ireland is the Pound (Punt), which at December 31, 1995, was valued at IP 0.62 = $1 U.S. Gross Domestic Product was U.S. $51 billion in 1994, or about $14,000 per capita. The current account balance was a $3.2 billion surplus in 1994. The OECD estimates that real GDP expanded 6.5% during 1995 and forecasts growth of around 5.5% in 1996 and 1997. No withholding tax is deducted from dividend payments made by Irish companies. Ireland is a member of the European Union. JAPAN is located in the Archipelago off the east coast of Asia. The population is estimated to be 125 million. Major cities are Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Sapporo and Kobe. Electrical and electronic equipment, autos, machinery and chemicals are the chief industries. The currency is the Japanese Yen (December 1995: JPY 103.43 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $4,400 billion in 1994, or about $35,000 per capita. The 1994 current account trade balance was positive $129 billion. The Tokyo Stock Exchange is the largest of eight exchanges in Japan which has very well developed primary and secondary equity markets. The price/earnings ratios for Japanese securities have recently been much higher than typical price/earnings ratios for U.S. securities. In 1989-92, however, the Japanese stock market was in a steady downtrend; the Tokyo Stock Exchange lost more than 50% of its value in the four years following its December 1989 peak. All equity securities business in Japan is conducted by security dealers. They trade on a typical broker basis on commission. Japanese securities companies may trade on their own accounts, but only to the extent necessary for the maintenance of a fair and orderly market. Broker basis trading accounts for 70-75% of the value of all stock trading. Portfolio investments of less than 10% are not restricted. Dividends are currently subject to a nonrefundable 20% dividend withholding tax. LUXEMBOURG is located in western Europe. The population is estimated to be 0.4 million. The major city is Luxembourg. Steel, chemicals, beer, tires, tobacco, metal products, cement and financial services are the chief industries. The currency is the Luxembourg Franc which is identical in value to the Belgian Franc (December 1995: LUF 29.60 = $1 U.S.). French and German and Luxembourgish (a mainly German dialect) are the official languages and most Luxembourgers are fluent in all three. English is spoken by many Luxembourgers and is widely used in business. The Gross Domestic Product was $11 billion in 1992, or about $27,000 per capita. Luxembourg is a member of the European Union. There are no investment restrictions. A dividend withholding tax of 15% does not apply to holding companies. MEXICO is a nation of 93 million people located in the southernmost part of North America. Its capital city is Mexico City; other large cities include Guadalajara and Monterrey. The official language is Spanish; however, English is commonly used for international business. Steel, chemicals, electric goods, textiles, petroleum and tourism are important industries. The national currency of Mexico is the Peso, which was valued, at December 31, 1993, at MP 3.11 = $1 U.S. but was devalued in 1994 so that at December 31, 1994, the value was 5.33 to the U.S. dollar. It further depreci- ated in December 1995 to 7.69/$. Gross Domestic Product was U.S. $327 billion in 1993, or $3,650 per capita. The current account balance was U.S. $29 billion in deficit for 1994. The OECD estimates that real GDP shrank 6.0% during 1995 and forecasts growth rates of a little more than 3% in 1996 and in 1997. Mexico is a democratic republic with a constitution. It has a federal and representative form of government. There are 31 states and one federal district. The President is the head of government and chief of state. It is still considered to be an emerging nation. Although the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) has been in power for more than 65 years, the recent relative stability of the country is being called into question as the nation struggles with the transition from a controlled to a more open democracy. The January 1995 uprising of a rebel Indian group in the southern state of Chiapas has still to be fully resolved. A new political scandal - the arrest of the brother of former president Salinas for orchestrating a political assassination - - has added to the uncertainty. As a consequence of the peso's collapse, the Mexican economy is likely to experience high interest rates, soaring inflation and no economic growth if not an outright decline in GDP. Over the long run, it is hoped that the devaluation will increase the attractiveness of Mexican exports, stimulate economic growth and reduce Mexico's dependence on short-term foreign investment. For all of 1995, the 18-stock FT/S&P Total Return Index declined 3.6% in pesos, and 25% in dollar terms. For the first two months of 1995, the index declined an additional 35% in pesos and 45% in dollars. When dividends are distributed out of the balance on the net tax profit account, no tax is charged. Dividends not distributed out of the balance on the net tax profit account are subject to a 35% charge. The tax is charged by grossing up the dividend declared. The balance on the net tax profit account is computed by adding the sum of net tax profits for each year to the dividends received from other resident companies and then subtracting the dividends paid from the account. NETHERLANDS is located in northwestern Europe on the North Sea. The population is estimated to be 15 million. Major cities are Amsterdam, Rotterdam & Hague. Metals, machinery, chemicals, oil refinery, diamond cutting, electronics and tourism are the chief industries. The language spoken is Dutch. Most people in business also speak English. The currency is the Dutch Guilder (December 1995: NLG 1.61 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $344 billion in 1994, or about $25,000 per capita. The 1994 current account trade balance was positive $12 billion. Netherlands is a member of the European Union. The Amsterdam Stock Exchange is the largest and all Dutch securities are listed on it. It is also the oldest stock exchange in the world and perhaps the only one that charges itself with the primary obligation of protecting shareholders. However, the Dutch equity market although growing in trading volume has not been particularly active. Domestic participation is primarily institutional with perhaps only about 10 to 15 percent of Dutch households owning equity shares. Dutch pension funds are also limited to having 3 to 5 percent of their assets in equities and Dutch banks are prohibited from holding shares for more than five years. There are no portfolio investment restrictions. There is a nonrefundable dividend withholding tax which is currently set at 25%. NEW ZEALAND is mainly comprised of two islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean. The population is estimated to be 3.5 million. Major cities include Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch and Manakau. Food processing, fishing, textiles (especially wool-related), forest products and machinery are the chief industries. The currency is the New Zealand Dollar (December 1995: NZD 1.53 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $51 billion in 1994, or $15,000 per capita. The current account trade deficit was $2 billion in 1994. There are no investment restrictions unless 25% of the shares of a company are purchased. The rate of the nonrefundable dividend withholding tax is currently 30%. NORWAY occupies the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula in northwest Europe. The population is estimated to be 4.3 million. Major cities are Oslo and Bergen. Engineering, metals, chemicals, food processing, fishing, paper, shipbuilding and oil and gas are the chief industries. The currency is the Norwegian Kronor (December 1995: NOK 6.33 = $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $118 billion in 1994, or about $27,000 per capita. The 1994 current account trade balance was positive $3.6 billion. No exchange control restrictions apply to portfolio investments by foreigners in quoted companies although consent of the Bank of Norway may be required to purchase more than a specified percentage of a company that owns Norwegian real estate. The nonrefundable dividend withholding tax rate is currently 25%. SWEDEN is located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. The population is estimated to be 8.8 million. Major cities are Stockholm, Goteborg and Malmo. Steel, machinery, instruments, autos, shipbuilding, shipping and paper are the chief industries. The currency is the Swedish Krona (December 1995: SEK 6.69 = $1 U.S.), The Gross Domestic Product was $196 billion in 1994, or about $23,000 per capita. The 1994 current account trade balance was $826 million. Sweden is a member of the European Union. Swedish companies by-laws frequently contain a stipulation restricting foreign ownership to less than 40% of the share capital and less than 20% of the voting power in the company, a rule which cannot normally be changed without the government's consent. Shares which may be acquired by foreigners are called free shares and are so designated on shares certificates. A Swedish company without such a stipulation in its by-laws is regarded as "foreign" and is subject to restrictions on foreign acquisition of real estate and natural resources, or even from acquiring more than 20% of the voting rights of any other company. Foreigners may deal without restriction in the free shares on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, provided they do not exceed 10% of the share capital or voting power. The "free share market" may behave quite differently from other markets. This may be due to cultural characteristics of the Swedish shareholders or the fact that foreigners in the "free market" can sell their shares and move into other markets whereas the Swedes are seldom able to get permission to invest abroad. The nonrefundable dividend withholding tax rate is currently 30%. SWITZERLAND is located in the Alps Mountains in Europe. The population is estimated to be 7 million. Switzerland has four national languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. Romansh is found on all Swiss bank notes. About two thirds of the population speak a German dialect known as Schweizerdeutsch. English is the most widely used foreign language in Swiss business. Major cities are Zurich, Basel and Geneva. Machinery, machine tools, steel, instruments, watches, textiles, foodstuffs (cheese, chocolate), chemicals, drugs, banking and tourism are the chief industries. The currency is the Swiss Franc (December 1995: CHF 1.15 - $1 U.S.). The Gross Domestic Product was $273 billion in 1994, or about $39,000 per capita. The 1994 current account trade balance was positive $18.5 billion. Zurich Exchange is one of the largest in the world in terms of volume. Switzerland's equity markets also include organized stock exchanges of Basel, Geneva, Bern and Lausanne as well as the over the counter market. Trading is active although the exchanges are relatively small by international standards. Ordinary shares, participation certificates, warrants and mutual funds are traded on Swiss secondary markets. Swiss common shares must be carefully distinguished by type since most Swiss companies do not allow nonresidents to own Swiss registered shares. The types of shares are: Bearer - ordinary shares which are fully voting common shares with full right to dividends and which typically sell for 25 percent premium over registered shares; Registered - ordinary shares which are a fully voting common shares with full rights and dividends (in November of 1988, Nestle broke the tradition of prohibiting nonresidents from owning registered shares and became the first Swiss company to allow foreign ownership of registered shares) and Participation and Dividend Right Certifications which are equity securities with full right to dividends but no voting rights. Participation Certifications are otherwise fully participating with common shares and can be purchased by nonresidents. The nonrefundable dividend withholding tax rate is currently 35%. UNITED STATES is a nation of 260 million people located in North America. The U.S. economy is the world's largest, with 1994 Gross Domestic Product estimated at $7.1 trillion or $27,300 per capita. The nation's current account deficit is estimated at about $220 billion for 1995. Real GDP advanced by just over 3% during 1995 and according to the OECD, the growth rate is likely to be around 2.7% in 1996 and about 2.8% in 1997. There is no withholding on dividends paid to the Fund.

D1-D61 General Information and History The Wright EquiFund Equity Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company, or mutual fund, organized as a Massachusetts business trust in 1989. The Trust currently consists of seventeen series. The Funds (each a "Wright EquiFund" and collectively the "Wright EquiFunds") each represent a separate and distinct series of the Trust's shares of beneficial interest. Each Fund is a diversified fund. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wright EquiFund - Australasia* Wright EquiFund - Japan Wright EquiFund - Austria* Wright EquiFund - Mexico Wright EquiFund - Belgium/Luxembourg Wright EquiFund - Netherlands Wright EquiFund - Britain Wright EquiFund - Nordic Wright EquiFund - Canada* Wright EquiFund - Switzerland Wright EquiFund - France* Wright EquiFund - United States* Wright EquiFund - Germany Wright EquiFund - Global* Wright EquiFund - Hong Kong Wright EquiFund - International* Wright EquiFund - Ireland* - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, these Funds are not available for purchase in any state of the United States. Contact the principal underwriter or your broker for the latest information. Unless otherwise required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), ordinarily it will not be necessary for the Trust to hold annual meetings of shareholders. As a result, shareholders may not consider each year the election of Trustees or the appointment of independent accountants. Shareholders may remove a Trustee by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Trust's outstanding shares and the Trustees must promptly call a meeting for such purpose when requested to do so in writing by the record holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust. Shareholders may, under certain circumstances, communicate with other shareholders in connection with requesting a special meeting of shareholders. The Board of Trustees, however, will call a special meeting for the purpose of electing Trustees if, at any time, less than a majority of Trustees holding office at the time were elected by shareholders. The Trust's Declaration of Trust may be amended with the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trust or, if the interests of a particular Wright EquiFund are affected, a majority of such Fund's outstanding shares. The Trust may be terminated (i) upon the sale of the Trust's assets to another open-end management investment company, if approved by the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust, except that if the Trustees of the Trust recommend such sale of assets, the approval by the vote of a majority of the Trust's outstanding shares will be sufficient; or (ii) upon liquidation and distribution of the assets of the Trust, if approved by a majority of its Trustees or by the vote of a majority of the Trust's outstanding shares. If not so terminated, the Trust may continue indefinitely. The Trust's Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trust's Trustees will not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law; however, nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a Trustee against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. The Trust is an organization of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for the obligations of the trust. The Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability in connection with the Trust property or the acts, obligations or affairs of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust also provides for indemnification out of the Trust property of any shareholder held personally liable for the claims and liabilities to which a shareholder may become subject by reason of being or having been a shareholder. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Trust itself would be unable to meet its obligations. Each Fund has retained Wright Investors' Service, Inc., Bridgeport, Connecticut ("Wright" or the "Investment Adviser"), as investment adviser to carry out the management, investment and reinvestment of its assets. Each Fund has also retained Eaton Vance Management ("Eaton Vance"), 24 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02110, as administrator of its business affairs. Investment Objectives and Policies Each Fund seeks to enhance total investment return (consisting of price appreciation plus income) by investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities selected by the Investment Adviser from the publicly traded companies in the National Equity Index for the nation or nations in which each Fund is permitted to invest. Only securities for which adequate public information is available and which could be considered acceptable for investment by a prudent person will comprise the National Equity Index. The selection of equity securities for the National Equity Index relating to each Fund is described below. Each Fund's net asset value is expressed in U.S. dollars and fluctuations in foreign exchange currency rates will affect the value of an investment in a Fund. The National Equity Indices The National Equity Indices (the "Indices") are each designed to be an index of substantially all the publicly traded equity securities in the nation or nations in which each respective Fund is permitted to invest which meet the requirements of a prudent investor. The prudent investor standard requires that care, skill, and caution be used in selecting securities for investment. The Investment Adviser will select securities for investment for each Fund only from those included in the corresponding Index, or in the case of International Fund, from those included in all the Indices except the United States National Equity Index or in the case of Global Fund, from those included in all the Indices including the United States National Equity Index. Wright has developed disciplined objective criteria to ensure that the required care, skill, and caution are used in selecting securities for each of the Indices. Wright generally considers for inclusion in an Index only those companies which have at least: 1. Five years of audited operating information; 2. An established minimum amount in both book value and market value; and 3. A three-year record of pricing in a public market. In addition, only companies that meet the following criteria will be included in an Index: 1. A significant portion of the shares of the company is believed to be publicly owned; 2. The company has had positive earnings for the last fiscal or calendar year, or for the last twelve months, or cumulatively for the last three years; and 3. The company is not a closed-end investment company or a non-bank securities broker or dealer. In selecting securities for the Indices and for inclusion in the portfolios of the Funds, other than the United States Fund, Wright utilizes its international database, which includes WORLDSCOPE(R). WORLDSCOPE(R) provides more than 1,500 items of information on more than 13,000 companies worldwide. Except for the United States, Wright utilizes the services of major financial institutions that are located in the nations in which the respective Funds are permitted to invest to supply Wright with research products and services including reports on particular industries and companies, economic surveys and analysis of the investment environment and trends in a particular nation, recommendations as to whether specific securities should be included in an Index and other assistance in the performance of its decision-making responsibilities. Currently, Wright expects to utilize several major international banks in the above-mentioned capacity. The Indices are adjusted as necessary to reflect recent events. A detailed explanation of the objective criteria used in the selection process is as follows. To be selected for an Index, a company must have: 1. Five years of earnings data (17 quarters of 12 month earnings). To be selected, a company's trailing 12 month earnings during the last four quarters or during the last three reported years cumulatively must be positive. 2. Five years of dividend information or positive verification that a company did not declare a dividend (20 quarters of quarterly dividend information). 3. Three years of price information (12 quarters of quarterly prices). To be selected, a company generally must have market value (number of shares times price) equal to or greater than $20 million. Once a company is selected, its market value must be less than $15 million for the company's securities to be removed from the relevant Index. 4. Book value information for the past five years (20 quarters). To be selected, book value must be equal to or greater than $20 million. Once a company is selected, its book value must be less than $15 million for the company's securities to be removed from the relevant Index. 5. Industry group information. Companies that are closed-end investment companies, real estate investment trusts or non-bank securities brokers or dealers will not be included. Acquired companies may continue to be included in the relevant Index up to their acquisition date. Other Investment Policies of the Funds Each Fund may establish an investment reserve in cash (including foreign currency) or cash equivalent securities (high quality short-term fixed income debt securities) whenever such reserve is deemed to be in the best interests of the shareholders for any reason, including Wright's expectation of a decline in the equity markets in which the Fund is permitted to invest. Under normal market conditions, such reserves will be no more than approximately 20% of a Fund's net assets. Accordingly, each Fund will have at least 80% of its net assets invested in equity securities during normal market conditions. With respect to Austria, Belgium/Luxembourg, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Netherlands, Nordic and Switzerland Funds, the policy stated in the preceding sentence is fundamental and may be changed only by the vote of a majority of a Fund's outstanding voting securities. A greater reserve position may, however, be established temporarily if Wright believes that this would be advisable in view of what it considers to be extraordinary economic and stock market conditions. See "Special Investment Considerations - Temporary Defensive Investments" in the Prospectus for a discussion of when the Funds may take a temporary defensive position. The following investment restrictions have been adopted by each Fund and may be changed as to a Fund only by the vote of a majority of the affected Fund's outstanding voting securities, which means the lesser of (a) 67% of the shares of the Fund if the holders of more than 50% of the shares are present or represented at the meeting or (b) more than 50% of the shares of the Fund. If a percentage restriction contained herein is adhered to at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in the percentage resulting from a change in the value of portfolio securities or the amount of net assets will not be considered a violation of any of the following restrictions. Accordingly, each Fund may not: (The following fundamental investment restrictions apply only to Austria, Belgium/Luxembourg, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Netherlands, Nordic and Switzerland.) (1) Borrow money other than from banks and then only up to 1/3 of the current market value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) and only if such borrowing is incurred as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes or to facilitate the orderly sale of portfolio securities to accommodate redemption requests; or issue any securities other than its shares of beneficial interest except as appropriate to evidence indebtedness which the Fund is permitted to incur. (Each Fund anticipates paying interest on borrowed money at rates comparable to its yield and no Fund has any intention of attempting to increase its net income by means of borrowing); (2) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets to an extent greate than 1/3 of the total assets of the Fund taken at market; (3) Purchase the securities of any one issuer (other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies, or securities of other regulated investment companies) if, as a result of such purchase, more than 5% of that Fund's total assets (taken at current value) would be invested in the securities of such issuer or securities of any one issuer held by that Fund would exceed 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer at the end of any fiscal quarter of the Fund, provided that, with respect to 50% of the Fund's assets, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in the securities of any one issuer; (4) Purchase or retain securities of any issuer if 5% or more of the issuer's securities are owned by those officers and Trustees of the Trust or its investment adviser or administrator who own individually more than 1/2 of 1% of the issuer's securities; (5) Purchase securities on margin or make short sales except sales against the box or purchase warrants; (6) Buy or sell commodities, or commodity contracts (except that the Fund may purchase or sell currencies and put and call options on securities, indices or currencies and enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts), unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities; (7) Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25% of the market value of its total assets at the time of such purchase to be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry, provided that there is no limitation in respect to investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities; (8) Underwrite securities issued by other persons except to the extent that the purchase of securities in accordance with a Fund's investment objectives and policies directly from the issuer thereof and the later disposition thereof may be deemed to be underwriting; (9) Make loans, except (i) through the loan of a portfolio security, (ii) by entering into repurchase agreements and (iii) to the extent that the purchase of debt instruments, if any, in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies may be deemed to be loans; (10) Purchase from or sell to any of the Trust's Trustees or officers, its investment adviser, its administrator, its principal underwriter, if any, or the officers or directors of said investment adviser, administrator, or principal underwriter, portfolio securities of the Fund; (11) Purchase or retain securities of other open-end investment companies, except when such purchases are part of a merger, consolidation, reorganization or assets acquisition; (12) Acquire real estate but it may lease office space for its own use and invest in (1) readily marketable interests of real estate or real estate limited partnership interests, investment trusts or readily marketable securities of issuers (other than real estate limited partnerships) whose business involves the purchase of real estate; and (2) securities secured by real estate or interests therein; or (13) With respect to 75% of its total assets, (i) invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer, excluding securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government or by its agencies and instrumentalities and options or (ii) purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of any class of any issuer. For the purpose of investment restrictions (1), (2) and (5), the arrangements (including escrow, margin and collateral arrangements) made by any such Fund with respect to its transactions in currency options, options on securities and forward foreign currency exchange contracts shall not be considered to be (i) a borrowing of money or the issuance of securities (including senior securities) by that Fund, (ii) a pledge of its assets, (iii) the purchase of a security on margin or (iv) a short sale or position. (The following fundamental investment restrictions apply only to Australasia, Britain, Ireland, Mexico, United States, Global and International.) (1) Borrow money other than from banks and then only up to 1/3 of the current market value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) and only if such borrowing is incurred as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes or to facilitate the orderly sale of portfolio securities to accommodate redemption requests; or issue any securities other than its shares of beneficial interest except as appropriate to evidence indebtedness which the Fund is permitted to incur. (Each Fund anticipates paying interest on borrowed money at rates comparable to its yield and no Fund has any intention of attempting to increase its net income by means of borrowing); (2) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets to an extent greater than 1/3 of the total assets of the Fund taken at market; (3) Buy or sell commodities, or commodity contracts (except that the Fund may purchase or sell currencies and put and call options on securities, indices or currencies and enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts), unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities; (4) Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25% of the market value of its total assets at the time of such purchase to be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry, provided that there is no limitation in respect to investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities; (5) Underwrite securities issued by other persons except to the extent that the purchase of securities in accordance with a Fund's investment objectives and policies directly from the issuer thereof and the later disposition thereof may be deemed to be underwriting; (6) Make loans, except (i) through the loan of a portfolio security, (ii) by entering into repurchase agreements and (iii) to the extent that the purchase of debt instruments, if any, in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies may be deemed to be loans; (7) Purchase or sell real estate, except that a Fund may (i) acquire or lease office space for its own use, (ii) invest in securities of issuers that invest in real estate or interests therein, (iii) invest in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein, (iv) purchase and sell mortgage-related securities and (v) hold and sell real estate acquired by a Fund as a result of the ownership of securities; or (8) With respect to 75% of its total assets, (i) invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer, excluding securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or by its agencies and instrumentalities and options thereon or (ii) purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of any class of any issuer. For the purpose of fundamental investment restrictions (1) and (2) above and nonfundamental investment restriction (h) below, the arrangements (including escrow, margin and collateral arrangements) made by a Fund with respect to its transactions in currency options, options on securities and forward foreign currency exchange contracts shall not be considered to be (i) a borrowing of money or the issuance of securities (including senior securities) by that Fund, (ii) a pledge of its assets, (iii) the purchase of a security on margin or (iv) a short sale or position. The following are nonfundamental policies of each Fund which may be changed by the Trustees without shareholder approval. The Funds have no current intention of borrowing for leverage purposes, making securities loans or engaging in short sales. Prior to engaging in such activities, the Funds' Prospectus will be amended to disclose the intention to do so. No Fund will: (a) Purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases or purchase partnership interests in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development programs; (b) Invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of issuers which, together with their predecessors, have a record of less than three years' continuous operation; (c) Purchase securities issued by any other investment company, except by purchase in the open market where no commission or profit to sponsor or dealer results from such purchase, other than the customary broker's commission, or except where such purchase, although not made on the open market, is part of a plan of merger or consolidation. Subject to the preceding sentence, a Fund may invest in other investment companies to the full extent allowed by the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, a Fund may not acquire more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of another investment company, invest more than 5% of its assets in any single investment company or invest more than 10% of its assets in other investment companies as a group; (d) Enter into an agreement to purchase securities while its borrowings exceed 5% of its total assets; (e) Invest (1) more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments, including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days, securities that are not readily marketable and restricted securities not eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"); (2) more than 10% of its net assets in restricted securities, excluding securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or foreign securities which are offered or sold outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the 1933 Act; or (3) more than 15% of its net assets in restricted securities (including those eligible for resale under Rule 144A); (f) Invest more than 10% of its total assets in shares of real estate investment trusts that are not readily marketable or invest in real estate limited partnerships; (In addition, the following nonfundamental investment restrictions apply only to Australasia, Britain, Ireland, Mexico, United States, Global and International.) (g) Purchase or retain securities of any issuer if 5% or more of the issuer's securities are owned by those officers and Trustees of the Trust or its investment adviser or administrator who own individually more than 1/2 of 1% of the issuer's securities; (h) Purchase securities on margin or make short sales except sales against the box or purchase warrants; or (i) Purchase from or sell to any of its Trustees or officers, its investment adviser, its administrator, its principal underwriter, if any, or the officers or directors of said investment adviser, administrator, and principal underwriter, portfolio securities of the Fund.

The Trustees who are "interested persons" of the Trust receive no compensation from the Trust. The Trust does not have a retirement plan for its Trustees. For Trustee compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, see the following table. COMPENSATION TABLE -- FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 Registrant -- The Wright EquiFund Equity Trust Registered Investment Companies -- 17 Aggregate Compensation Pension Estimated Total From The Wright Benefits Annual Compensation Trustees EquiFund Equity Trust Accrued Benefits Paid(1) - --------- ---------------------- -------- --------- ------------- Winthrop S.

Miles, Emmet, Pierce, Prefer and Van Houtte are members of the Special Nominating Committee of the Trustees of the Trust. The Special Nominating Committee's function is selecting and nominating individuals to fill vacancies, as and when they occur, in the ranks of those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, Eaton Vance or Wright. The Trust does not have a designated audit committee, since the full board performs the functions of such committee. Control Persons and Principal Holders of Shares As of January 31, 1996, the Trustees and officers of the Trust, as a group, owned in the aggregate less than 1% of the outstanding shares of any Fund that was then offering its shares to the public. The Funds' shares are held primarily by trust departments of depository institutions and trust companies either for their own account or for the account of their clients. From time to time, several of these trust departments may be the record owners of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of a particular Fund. As of January 31, 1996, the following shareholders were record holders of the following percentages of the outstanding shares of the Funds that were then offering shares to the public: PERCENT OF OUTSTANDING SHARES OWNED Belgium/ Ger- Hong Nether- Switzer- NAME AND ADDRESS Luxembourg Britain many Kong Japan Mexico lands Nordic land - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eternity Limited III 13.6% c/o Unity NV P.O.

Investment Advisory and Administrative Services The Funds have engaged Winthrop to act as their investment adviser pursuant to Investment Advisory Contracts (the "Investment Advisory Contracts"). Pursuant to a service agreement effective February 1, 1996 between Winthrop and Wright, Wright, acting under the general supervision of the Trust's Trustees, furnishes each Fund with investment advice and management services, as described below. Winthrop supervises Wright's performance of this function and retains its contractual obligations under its Investment Advisory Contract with each Fund. The address of both Winthrop and Wright is 1000 Lafayette Boulevard, Bridgeport, Connecticut. Winthrop was founded in 1960. Wright, its successor and wholly-owned subsidiary, currently provides investment services to clients throughout the United States and abroad. John Winthrop Wright may be considered a controlling person of Winthrop and Wright by virtue of his positions as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Winthrop and Wright, and by reason of his ownership of more than a majority of the outstanding shares of Winthrop. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Contracts, Wright will carry out the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds, will furnish continuously an investment program with respect to the Funds, will determine which securities should be purchased, sold or exchanged, and will implement such determinations. Wright will furnish to the Funds investment advice and management services, office space, equipment and clerical personnel, and investment advisory, statistical and research facilities. In addition, Wright has arranged for certain members of the Eaton Vance and Wright organizations to serve without salary as officers or Trustees of the Trust. In return for these services, each Fund is obligated to pay a monthly advisory fee calculated at the rates set forth in the Funds' current Prospectus. Effective February 1, 1996, Winthrop will cause the Funds to pay to Wright the entire amount of the advisory fee payable by each Fund under its Investment Advisory Contract with Winthrop. It should be noted that, in addition to compensating Wright for its advisory services to the Funds, the advisory fee is intended to partially compensate Wright for the maintenance of the Indices which form the basis for the selection of securities for the Funds. Other mutual funds and accounts advised by Wright Investors' Service may use the Indices as may other entities not affiliated with Wright. Prior to January 20, 1994 for the Belgium/Luxembourg, Japan, Nordic and Switzerland Funds and prior to August 25, 1994 for the Hong Kong and Netherlands Funds under the Funds' prior investment advisory contracts, each Fund was required to pay Winthrop a monthly advisory fee calculated at the following annual rates: 0.50% of average daily net assets under $500 million; 0.48% of average daily net assets of $500 million and under $1 billion; and 0.43% of average daily net assets of $1 billion and over. The following table sets forth the net assets of each Fund that was offering its shares as at December 31, 1995 and the advisory fee earned from each such Fund during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. As noted above, the previous investment advisory contract for such Funds provided for a fee calculated at a lower rate than is currently applicable to such Funds. At December 31, 1995, the Australasia, Austria, Canada, France, Ireland, United States, Global and International Funds had not commenced operations.

The Trust has engaged Eaton Vance to act as the administrator for each Fund pursuant to an Administration Agreement. Eaton Vance and its affiliates act as investment adviser to investment companies and various individual and institutional clients with assets under management of approximately $16 billion. Eaton Vance is a wholly owned subsidiary of EVC, a publicly held holding company. Under the Administration Agreement, Eaton Vance is responsible for managing the business affairs of each Fund, subject to the supervision of the Trust's Trustees. Eaton Vance's services include recordkeeping, preparation and filing of documents required to comply with federal and state securities laws, supervising the activities of the Funds' custodian and transfer agent, providing assistance in connection with the Trustees' and shareholders' meetings and other administrative services necessary to conduct each Fund's business. Eaton Vance will not provide any investment management or advisory services to the Funds. For its services under the Administration Agreement, Eaton Vance is entitled to receive a monthly administration fee from each Fund at the annual rates set forth in the Funds' current Prospectus. The following table sets forth the administration fees earned (and applicable reductions) from each Fund that was offering its shares at December 31, 1995 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

Brigham, Clay, Gardner, Hawkes and Rowland. The Voting Trustees have unrestricted voting rights for the election of Directors of EVC. All of the outstanding voting trust receipts issued under said Voting Trust are owned by certain of the officers of Eaton Vance and BMR who are also officers and Directors of EVC and EV. As of January 31, 1996, Messrs. Clay, Gardner and Hawkes each owned 24% of such voting trust receipts, and Messrs. Rowland and Brigham owned 15% and 13%, respectively, of such voting trust receipts. Mr. Brigham is an officer and Trustee of the Trust, and a member of the Eaton Vance, EVC, BMR and EV organizations. Messrs. Austin, Murphy, O'Connor and Woodbury and Ms. Sanders, who are officers of the Trust, are also members of the Eaton Vance, BMR and EV organizations.

In addition, Eaton Vance owns all the stock of Northeast Properties, Inc., which is engaged in real estate investment, consulting and management. EVC owns all the stock of Fulcrum Management, Inc. and MinVen, Inc., which are engaged in the development of precious metal properties. EVC, Eaton Vance, BMR and EV may also enter into other businesses. Each Fund will be responsible for all expenses relating to its operations and not designated as expenses of Wright under the Investment Advisory Contracts or of Eaton Vance under the Administration Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its custodian and transfer agent, including those incurred for determining each Fund's net asset value and keeping each Fund's books; the cost of share certificates; membership dues in investment company organizations; brokerage commissions and fees; fees and expenses of registering its shares; expenses of reports to shareholders, proxy statements and other expenses of shareholders' meetings; insurance premiums; printing and mailing expenses; interest, taxes and corporate fees; legal and accounting expenses; expenses of Trustees not affiliated with Eaton Vance or Wright; distribution expenses incurred pursuant to the Trust's distribution plan; and investment advisory and administration fees. Each Fund will also bear expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which the Trust is a party and the legal obligation the Trust may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect thereto. The Investment Advisory Contracts of all the Funds and the Administration Agreement of all the Funds will remain in effect until February 28, 1997. The Funds' Investment Advisory Contracts may be continued with respect to each Fund from year to year thereafter so long as such continuance after February 28, 1997, as the case may be, is approved at least annually (i) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, Eaton Vance or Wright cast in person at a meeting specifically called for the purpose of voting on such approval and (ii) by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the shareholders of that Fund. The Investment Advisory Contracts and Administration Agreement may be terminated as to a Fund at any time without penalty on sixty (60) days' written notice by the Board of Trustees or Directors of either party, or by vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of that Fund, and each agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment. Each agreement provides that, in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties to the Trust under such agreement on the part of Eaton Vance or Wright. Eaton Vance or Wright will not be liable to the Trust for any loss incurred. The Funds' Investment Advisory Contracts and Administration Agreement were most recently approved by the Trustees, including the "non-interested" Trustees, at a meeting held on January 24, 1996. Custodian Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"), 89 South Street, Boston, Massachusetts, acts as custodian for the Funds. IBT has the custody of all cash and securities of the Funds, maintains the Funds' general ledgers and computes the daily net asset value per share. In such capacity it attends to details in connection with the sale, exchange, substitution, transfer or other dealings with the Funds' investments, receives and disburses all funds and performs various other ministerial duties upon receipt of proper instructions from the Funds. IBT charges custody fees which are competitive within the industry. A portion of the custody fee for each fund managed by Wright for which IBT serves as custodian is based upon a schedule of percentages applied to the aggregate assets of those funds, the fees so determined being then allocated among such funds relative to their size. In addition, each fund pays to IBT a fee based on the number of portfolio transactions, a fee based on the number of portfolio holdings, and a fee for bookkeeping and valuation services. These fees are then reduced by a credit for cash balances of the particular fund at IBT equal to 75% of the average 91-day, U.S. Treasury Bill auction rate for the billing period applied to the particular fund's average daily collected balances for the period. The Funds will employ foreign sub-custodians, the selection of which are subject to annual review and approval by the Trustees in accordance with Rule 17f-5 under the 1940 Act. Independent Certified Public Accountants Deloitte & Touche LLP, 125 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts, are the Trust's independent certified public accountants, providing audit services, tax return preparation, and assistance and consultation with respect to the preparation of filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and preparation of the Funds' federal and state tax returns. Brokerage Allocation Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected by brokers, and the Funds pay a brokerage commission for this service. In transactions on stock exchanges in the United States, these commissions are negotiated, whereas on many foreign stock exchanges the commissions are fixed. In the over-the-counter market, securities are normally traded on a "net" basis with dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission, although the price of the securities usually includes a profit to the dealer. In underwritten offerings, securities are purchased at a fixed price which includes an amount of compensation to the underwriter, generally referred to as the underwriter's concession or discount. On occasion, certain money market instruments may be purchased directly from an issuer, in which case no commissions or discounts are paid. Wright places the portfolio security transactions for each Fund, which in some cases may be effected in block transactions which include other accounts managed by Wright. Wright provides similar services directly for bank trust departments and other clients. Wright seeks to execute portfolio security transactions on the most favorable terms and in the most effective manner possible. In seeking best execution, Wright will use its best judgment in evaluating the terms of a transaction, and will give consideration to various relevant factors, including without limitation the size and type of the transaction, the nature and character of the markets for the security, the confidentiality, speed and certainty of effective execution required for the transaction, the reputation, experience and financial condition of the broker-dealer and the value and quality of service rendered by the broker-dealer in other transactions, and the reasonableness of the brokerage commission or markup, if any. It is expected that on frequent occasions there will be many broker-dealer firms which will meet the foregoing criteria for a particular transaction. In selecting among such firms, the Funds may give consideration to those firms which supply brokerage and research services, quotations and statistical and other information to Wright for their use in servicing their accounts. Such brokers may include firms which purchase investment services from Wright. The term "brokerage and research services" includes advice as to the value of securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities; furnishing analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy and the performance of accounts; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). Such services and information may be useful and of value to Wright in servicing advisory clients other than the Fund which paid the brokerage commissions and the other Funds. The services and information furnished by a particular firm may not necessarily be used in connection with the Funds or the Fund which paid brokerage commissions to such firm. The advisory fee paid by the Funds to Wright is not reduced as a consequence of Wright's receipt of such services and information. While such services and information are not expected to reduce Wright's normal research activities and expenses, Wright would, through use of such services and information, avoid the additional expenses which would be incurred if Wright should attempt to develop comparable services and information through its own staff. Subject to the requirement that Wright shall use its best efforts to seek to execute each Fund's portfolio security transactions at advantageous prices and at reasonably competitive commission rates, Wright, as indicated above, is authorized to consider as a factor in the selection of any broker-dealer firm with whom a Fund's portfolio orders may be placed the fact that such firm has sold or is selling shares of the Funds or of other investment companies sponsored by Wright. This policy is consistent with a rule of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., which rule provides that no firm which is a member of the Association shall favor or disfavor the distribution of shares of any particular investment company or group of investment companies on the basis of brokerage commissions received or expected by such firm from any source. Under the Funds' Investment Advisory Contracts, Wright has the authority to pay commissions on portfolio transactions for brokerage and research services exceeding that which other brokers or dealers might charge provided certain conditions are met. The Funds' Investment Advisory Contracts expressly recognize the practices which are provided for in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by authorizing the selection of a broker or dealer which charges a Fund a commission which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if it is determined in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services which have been provided. If purchases or sales of securities of the Funds and one or more other investment companies or clients supervised by Wright are considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the several investment companies and clients in a manner deemed equitable to all by Wright, taking into account the respective sizes of the Funds, and the amount of securities to be purchased or sold. It is recognized that it is possible that in some cases this procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price or volume of the security so far as the Funds are concerned. However, in other cases it is possible that the ability to participate in volume transactions and to negotiate lower brokerage commissions will be beneficial to the Funds. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Funds that were offering their shares during such periods paid the following amounts on brokerage commissions: 1995 1994 1993 ----------------------------------- Belgium/Luxembourg(1)....................... $ 65,469 $ 50,547 -- Britain(2).................................. 130,965 -- -- Germany(3).................................. 77,270 -- -- Hong Kong .................................. 366,376 403,603 $104,578 Japan(4).................................... 270,491 89,821 -- Mexico(5)................................... 112,927 82,118 -- Netherlands................................. 57,747 54,183 39,612 Nordic(4)................................... 51,359 49,398 -- Switzerland(4).............................. 66,894 42,474 --

Fund Shares and Other Securities The shares of beneficial interest of the Trust have no par value and may be issued in two or more series, or Funds. The Trust currently has seventeen series designated as listed on page 3 of this Statement of Additional Information. The Trustees are empowered by the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws to create additional series. Shares of each series may be issued in an unlimited number by the Trust's Trustees. Each share of a series represents an equal proportionate beneficial interest in that series and, when issued and outstanding, the shares are fully paid and non-assessable by the relevant series. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held. Fractional shares may be voted in proportion to the amount of a series' net asset value which they represent. Voting rights are not cumulative, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of Trustees can elect 100% of the Trustees and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares voting on the matter will not be able to elect any Trustees. Shares have no preemptive or conversion rights and are freely transferable. Upon liquidation of a series, shareholders of that series are entitled to share pro rata in the net assets of the affected series available for distribution to shareholders. Purchase, Exchange and Redemption and Pricing of Shares For information regarding the purchase of shares, see "How to Buy Shares" in the Funds' current Prospectus. For information about exchanges between Funds, see "How to Exchange Shares" in the Funds' current Prospectus.

Principal Underwriter The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") on behalf of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and Article III, Section 26 of the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"). The Trust has entered into a distribution contract on behalf of the Funds with its Principal Underwriter, Wright Investors' Service Distributors, Inc. ("WISDI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Winthrop, providing for WISDI to act as a separate distributor of each Fund's shares. Under this contract and the Plan, it is currently intended that each Fund will pay to WISDI for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services in connection with the Fund's shares an annual fee equal to .25% of such Fund's average daily net assets. Appropriate adjustments to payments made pursuant to the Plan shall be made whenever necessary to assure that no payment is made by a Fund which exceeds the applicable maximum cap imposed on asset-based, front-end and deferred sales charges by Section 26(d) of Article III of the Rules of Fair Practice of the NASD. Pursuant to the Plan, the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, is authorized to compensate WISDI for (1) distribution services and (2) personal and account maintenance services performed and expenses incurred by WISDI in connection with the Fund's shares. The amount of such compensation, including compensation for personal and account maintenance services, paid during any one year shall not exceed .25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such compensation shall be calculated and accrued daily and paid quarterly. Distribution services and expenses for which WISDI may be compensated pursuant to this Plan include, without limitation: compensation to and expenses incurred by Authorized Dealers and the officers, employees and sales representatives of Authorized Dealers and of WISDI; allocable overhead, travel and telephone expenses; the printing of prospectuses and reports for other than existing shareholders; the preparation and distribution of sales literature and advertising; and all other expenses (other than personal and account maintenance services as defined below) incurred in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Funds' shares. Personal and account maintenance services include, but are not limited to, payments made to or on account of WISDI, Authorized Dealers and their respective officers, employees and sales representatives who respond to inquiries of, and furnish assistance to, shareholders concerning their ownership of Fund shares and their accounts or who provide similar services not otherwise provided by or on behalf of the Fund. The Plan is a compensation plan which provides for the payment of a specified distribution fee without regard to the distribution expenses actually incurred by WISDI. Accordingly, an amount equal to 1/365 of the annual distribution fee will be accrued on each day as an expense of each Fund, which will reduce its net investment income. Under the Plan, the President or Vice President of the Trust shall provide to the Trustees for their review, and the Trustees shall review at least quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes for which such expenditures were made. Under its terms, the Plan remains in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of its Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan. The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount to be spent for the services described therein as to a Fund without approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund and all material amendments of the Plan must also be approved by the Trustees of the Trust in the manner described above. The Plan may be terminated at any time as to a Fund without payment of any penalty by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund. So long as the Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust shall be committed to the discretion of the Trustees who are not such interested persons. The Trustees of the Trust have determined that in their judgment there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The following table shows the fee payable to WISDI under the Plans and the amount of such fee actually paid by each Fund that was then offering its shares for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

(1): Start of business, April 20, 1995; (2) Start of business, April 19, 1995. Performance Information The average annual total return of each Fund is determined for a specified period by calculating the actual dollar amount of investment return on a $1,000 investment in the Fund made at the maximum public offering price (net asset value) at the beginning of the period, and then calculating the annual compounded rate of return which would produce that amount. Total return for a period of one year is equal to the actual return of the Fund during that period. This calculation assumes that all dividends and distributions are reinvested at net asset value on the reinvestment dates during the period. The average annual total return will be calculated using the following formula: n P (1 + T) = ERV where: P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 T = Average annual total return n = Number of years ERV = Ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment at the end of the period. Each Fund's yield is computed by dividing its net investment income per share earned during a recent thirty-day period by the product of the average daily number of shares outstanding and entitled to receive dividends during the period and the maximum offering price (net asset value) per share on the last day of the period. The results are compounded on a bond equivalent (semi-annual) basis and then they are annualized. Net investment income per share is equal to the Fund's dividends and interest earned during the period, reduced by accrued expenses for the period. The yield earned by each Fund will be calculated using the following formula: YIELD = 2 [ ( a-b + 1)6 - 1 ] --- cd where: a = Dividends and interest earned during the period b = Expenses accrued for the period (after reductions) c = The average daily number of shares outstanding during the period that were entitled to receive dividends d = The maximum offering price (net asset value) per share on the last day of the period. A Fund's yield or total return may be compared to the Consumer Price Index and various domestic or foreign securities indices. A Fund's yield or total return and comparisons with these indices may be used in advertisements and in information furnished to present or prospective shareholders. From time to time, evaluations of a Fund's performance made by independent sources may be used in advertisements and in information furnished to present or prospective shareholders. These may include rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., an independent service which monitors the performance of mutual funds. The Lipper performance analysis reflects the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions but does not take sales charges into consideration and is prepared without regard to tax consequences. The following table shows the average annual total return for the one year, three year, five year and life of Fund (as applicable) for the periods ended December 31, 1995: Inception FUNDS One Year Three Years Five Years Life of Fund Date of Fund ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Belgium/Luxembourg 20.3% -- -- 23.7% 2/15/94 Britain -- -- -- 11.1% 4/20/95 Germany -- -- -- (7.1%) 4/19/95 Hong Kong(1) 1.6% 5.7% 13.0% 8.0% 6/28/90 Japan (9.1%) -- -- (6.1%) 2/14/94 Mexico (33.4%) -- -- (42.3%) 8/02/94 Netherlands(2) 18.8% 16.6% 9.9% 5.9% 6/28/90 Nordic(3) 19.8% -- -- 9.3% 2/14/94 Switzerland(4) 18.4% -- -- 6.3% 2/14/94
(1) If a portion of the Hong Kong Fund's expenses had not been subsidized for the four years ended December 31, 1993, the Fund would have had lower returns; (2) If a portion of the Netherlands Fund's expenses had not been subsidized for the year ended Decemer 31, 1995 and the four years ended December 31, 1993, the Fund would have had lower returns; (3) If a portion of the Nordic Fund's expenses had not been subsidized for the year ended Decemer 31, 1995, the Fund would have had lower returns; (4) If a portion of the Switzerland Fund's expenses had not been subsidized for the two years ended December 31, 1995, the Fund would have had lower returns. Taxes Among the requirements for qualification of each Fund as a regulated investment company are the following: (1) at least 90% of the Fund's annual gross income must be derived from interest, dividends, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities and certain other types of income; (2) less than 30% of the Fund's annual gross income may be derived from gross gains from the sale or disposition of stock or securities or certain other investments held for less than three months; and (3) at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, (a) at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must be comprised of cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies and other securities limited in respect of any one issuer to not more than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets and not more than 10% of the voting securities of such issuer and (b) not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies) or certain other issuers controlled by the Fund. These requirements may limit a Fund's activities in options on securities and securities indices, as well as in foreign currencies and forward foreign currency exchange contracts to the extent gains relating to such latter activities are considered not directly related to the Fund's principal business of investing in securities. Each Fund's use of equalization may affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders. Investment by a Fund in a stock of a "passive foreign investment company" may cause the Fund to recognize income prior to the receipt of distributions from such a company or to become subject to tax upon the receipt of certain excess distributions from, or upon disposition of its stock of, such a company, although an election may in some cases be available that would ameliorate some of these adverse tax consequences. A Fund's transactions in foreign currencies, foreign currency-denominated debt securities, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and receivables or payables denominated in a foreign currency are subject to special tax rules under Section 988 of the Code which will generally cause gains and losses from these transactions to be treated as ordinary income and losses. Certain forward positions held by a Fund may be required to be "marked to market" (treated as if they were closed out) on the last business day of each taxable year. In addition, if certain of these positions held by the Fund substantially diminish the Fund's risk of loss with respect to securities or other positions in the Fund's portfolio, this combination of positions may be treated as a straddle for tax purposes with the possibility of deferral of losses and adjustments in the holding period of securities held by the Fund. The portion of the distributions of United States Fund or Global Fund, if any, attributable to dividends it receives from U.S. domestic corporations may qualify for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders, subject to compliance with certain minimum holding-period requirements and debt-financing restrictions. Such portion, if any, may increase liability for alternative minimum tax and result in basis adjustments under certain circumstances. Shareholders may realize a taxable gain or loss upon a redemption or exchange of shares of a Fund. Any loss realized upon the redemption or exchange of shares of a Fund with a tax holding period of six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any distributions of net long-term capital gains with respect to such shares. All or a portion of any loss realized upon the redemption or exchange of shares may be disallowed to the extent shares are purchased (including shares acquired by means of reinvested dividends) within the period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of such redemption or exchange. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Registrant incorporates by reference the financial information for the Funds (Belgium/Luxembourg, Britain, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Nordic and Switzerland) contained in the Funds' annual shareholder report dated December 31,1995 as previously filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Accession Number 0000853255-96-000001). APPENDIX A ------------------ DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENTS U.S. GOVERNMENT, AGENCY AND INSTRUMENTALITY OBLIGATIONS -- U.S. Government obligations are issued by the U.S. Treasury and include bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, and bonds. Agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government are established under the authority of an act of Congress and include, but are not limited to, the Government National Mortgage Association, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Bank for Cooperatives, the Farmers Home Administration, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, and the Federal National Mortgage Association. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- involve the purchase of debt securities of the U.S. Treasury, a Federal agency, a Federal instrumentality or a Federally-created corporation or of other high quality short-term debt obligations. At the same time a Fund purchases the security it resells such security to the vendor which is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System, a recognized securities dealer or any foreign bank whose creditworthiness has been determined by Wright to be at least equal to that of issuers of commercial paper rated within the two highest grades assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Ratings Group, and is obligated to redeliver the security to the vendor on an agreed-upon date in the future. A repurchase agreement with foreign banks may be available with respect to government securities of the particular foreign jurisdiction. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed-upon market rate unrelated to the coupon rate on the purchased security. Such transactions afford an opportunity for a Fund to earn a return on cash which is only temporarily available. A Fund's risk is the ability of the vendor to pay an agreed upon sum upon the delivery date, which the Trust believes is limited to the difference between the market value of the security and the repurchase price provided for in the repurchase agreement. However, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings affecting the vendor of the security which is subject to the repurchase agreement, prior to the repurchase, may result in a delay in a Fund being able to resell the security. The 1940 Act prohibits registered investment companies from acquiring certain securities issued by broker-dealers. A transaction whereby a Fund enters into a repurchase agreement with a broker-dealer might be construed as a contravention of this prohibition. In the event the law is so interpreted, the Funds will cease such transactions. CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT -- are certificates issued against funds deposited in a bank, are for a definite period of time, earn a specified rate of return, and are normally negotiable. BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES -- are short-term credit instruments used to finance the import, export, transfer or storage of goods. They are termed "accepted" when a bank guarantees their payment at maturity. FIXED TIME DEPOSITS -- are bank obligations payable at a stated maturity date and bearing interest at a fixed rate. Fixed time deposits may be withdrawn on demand by the investor, but may be subject to early withdrawal penalties which vary depending upon market conditions and the remaining maturity of the obligation. There are no contractual restrictions on the right to transfer a beneficial interest in a fixed time deposit to a third party, although there is no market for such deposits. COMMERCIAL PAPER -- refers to promissory notes issued by corporations in order to finance their short-term credit needs. FINANCE COMPANY PAPER -- refers to promissory notes issued by finance companies in order to finance their short-term credit needs. FOREIGN SECURITIES -- The Funds, other than the United States Fund, may invest in foreign securities, and in certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, fixed time deposits issued by major foreign banks and foreign branches of United States banks, to any extent deemed appropriate by Wright and consistent with a Fund's investment objective. Investing in securities of foreign governments or securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not associated with domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risks of possible adverse changes in exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on removal of funds or other assets of a Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Further, economies of particular countries or areas of the world may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy of the U.S. To the extent investments in foreign securities are denominated or quoted in currencies of foreign countries, a Fund may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency exchange rates and may incur costs in connection with conversion between currencies. It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on exchanges or in over-the-counter markets located outside the U.S. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the U.S. Securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies (this is particularly true of issuers located in developing countries; however, the Funds do not anticipate investments in securities of developing countries). In addition, foreign brokerage commissions are generally higher than commissions on securities traded in the U.S. and may be non-negotiable. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS -- The Funds, other than the United States Fund, may engage in foreign currency exchange transactions. Investments in securities of foreign governments and companies whose principal business activities are located outside the United States will frequently involve currencies of foreign countries. In addition, assets of a Fund may temporarily be held in bank deposits in foreign currencies during the completion of investment programs. Therefore, the value of a Fund's assets, as measured in U.S. dollars, may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Although each Fund values its assets daily in U.S. dollars, the Fund does not intend to convert its holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. A Fund may conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market. The Fund will convert currency on a spot basis from time to time and will incur costs in connection with such currency conversion. Although foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for conversion, they do realize a profit based on the difference (the "spread") between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency to a Fund at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the Fund desire to resell that currency to the dealer. The Funds do not intend to speculate in foreign currency exchange rates. As an alternative to spot transactions, a Fund may enter into contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date ("forward contracts"). A forward contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date and price fixed by agreement between the parties at the time of entering into the contract. These contracts are traded in the interbank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. Although a forward contract generally involves no deposit requirement and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades, a Fund will maintain segregated accounts in connection with such transactions. The Funds intend to enter into such contracts only on net terms. A Fund may enter into forward contracts under two circumstances. First, when a Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security quoted or denominated in a foreign currency, it may desire to "lock in" the price of the security. This is accomplished by entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale, for a fixed amount of the foreign currency involved in the underlying security transaction ("transaction hedging"). Such forward contract transactions will enable the Fund to protect itself against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between the different currencies during the period between the date the security is purchased or sold and the date of payment for the security. Second, when Wright believes that the currency of a particular foreign country may suffer a decline, a Fund may enter into a forward contract to sell the amount of foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of the securities quoted or denominated in such foreign currency. The precise matching of the forward contract amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible. The future value of such securities in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of fluctuations in the market value of those securities between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it matures. The projection of currency exchange rates and the implementation of a short-term hedging strategy are highly uncertain. As an operating policy, the Funds do not intend to enter into forward contracts for such hedging purposes on a regular or continuous basis, and will not do so if, as a result, more than 50% of the value of a Fund's total assets would be committed to the consummation of such contracts. A Fund will also not enter into such forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the contracts would obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Fund's securities or other assets quoted or denominated in that currency. The Fund's custodian will place cash or liquid, high grade debt securities in a segregated account. The amount of such segregated assets will be at least equal to the value of a Fund's total assets committed to the consummation of forward contracts involving the purchase of foreign currency. If the value of the securities placed in the segregated account declines, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the amount will equal the amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such contracts. A Fund generally will not enter into a forward contract with a term of greater than one year. At the maturity of a forward contract, the Fund may elect to sell the portfolio security and make delivery of the foreign currency. Alternatively, the Fund may retain the security and terminate its contractual obligation to deliver the foreign currency by purchasing an identical offsetting contract from the same currency trader. It is impossible to forecast with precision the market value of portfolio securities at the expiration of a forward contract. Accordingly, it may be necessary for a Fund to purchase additional foreign currency on the spot market (and bear the expense of such purchase) if the Fund intends to sell the security and the market value of the security is less than the amount of foreign currency that the Fund is obligated to deliver. Conversely, it may be necessary to sell on the spot market some of the foreign currency received upon the sale of the portfolio security if its market value exceeds the amount of foreign currency that the Fund is obligated to deliver. If a Fund retains the portfolio security and engages in an offsetting transaction, the Fund will incur a gain or loss (as described below) to the extent that there has been a change in forward contract prices. If the Fund engages in an offsetting transaction, it may subsequently enter into a new forward contract to sell the foreign currency. Should forward contract prices decline during the period between the date the Fund enters into a forward contract for the sale of the foreign currency and the date it enters into an offsetting contract for the purchase of the foreign currency, the Fund will realize a gain to the extent that the price of the currency it has agreed to sell exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to purchase. Should forward contracts prices increase, the Fund will suffer a loss to the extent that the price of the currency it has agreed to purchase exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to sell. A Fund will not speculate in forward contracts and will limit its dealings in such contracts to the transactions described above. Of course, a Fund is not required to enter into such transactions with respect to its portfolio securities quoted or denominated in a foreign currency and will not do so unless deemed appropriate by Wright. This method of protecting the value of a Fund's securities against a decline in the value of a currency does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. It simply establishes a rate of exchange which the Fund can achieve at some future time. Additionally, although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also tend to limit any potential gain which might be realized if the value of such currency increases. A Fund's foreign currency transactions may be limited by the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for qualification as a regulated investment company.

NOW, THEREFORE, the undersigned, being at least a majority of the duly elected and qualified Trustees presently in office of the Trust acting pursuant to Section 1A of Article VI of the Declaration of Trust, hereby redivide the shares of beneficial interest of the Trust into seventeen (17) separate series (or Funds) of the Trust, each Fund to have the following special and relative rights: 1.

Each Fund shall be authorized to invest in cash, securities, instruments and other property as from time to time described in the Trust's then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each share of beneficial interest of each Fund ("share") shall be redeemable, shall be entitled to one vote (or fraction thereof in respect of a fractional share) on matters on which shares of that Fund shall be entitled to vote and shall represent a pro rata beneficial interest in the assets allocated to that Fund, all as provided in the Declaration of Trust. The proceeds of sales of shares of a Fund, together with any income and gain thereon, less any diminution or expenses thereof, shall irrevocably belong to that Fund, unless otherwise required by law. Each share of a Fund shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share of net assets of that Fund upon liquidation of that Fund. 3.

EXHIBIT(8)(b) AMENDMENT TO MASTER CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN WRIGHT MANAGED INVESTMENT FUNDS AND INVESTORS BANK & TRUST COMPANY This Amendment, dated as of September 20, 1995, is made to the MASTER CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") between each investment company advised by Wright Investors' Service which has adopted the Agreement (the "Funds") and Investors Bank & Trust Company (the "Custodian") pursuant to Section 10 of the Agreement. The Funds and the Custodian agree that Section 10 of the Agreement shall, as of September 20, 1995, be amended to read as follows: Unless otherwise defined herein, terms which are defined in the Agreement and used herein are so used as so defined. 10. Effective Period, Termination and Amendment; Successor Custodian This Agreement shall become effective as of its execution, shall continue in full force and effect until terminated by either party after August 31, 2000 by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed, postage prepaid to the other party, such termination to take effect not sooner than sixty (60) days after the date of such delivery or mailing; provided, that the Fund may at any time by action of its Board, (i) substitute another bank or trust company for the Custodian by giving notice as described above to the Custodian in the event the Custodian assigns this Agreement to another party without consent of the noninterested Trustees of the Funds, or (ii) immediately terminate this Agreement in the event of the appointment of a conservator or receiver for the Custodian by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by the Banking Commissioner of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or upon the happening of a like event at the direction of an appropriate regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction. Upon termination of the Agreement, the Fund shall pay to the Custodian such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination (and shall likewise reimburse the Custodian for its costs, expenses and disbursements). This Agreement may be amended at any time by the written agreement of the parties hereto. If a majority of the non-interested trustees of any of the Funds determines that the performance of the Custodian has been unsatisfactory or adverse to the interests of shareholders of any Fund or Funds or that the terms of the Agreement are no longer consistent with publicly available industry standards, then the Fund or Funds shall give written notice to the Custodian of such determination and the Custodian shall have 60 days to (1) correct such performance to the satisfaction of the non-interested trustees or (2) renegotiate terms which are satisfactory to the non-interested trustees of the Funds. If the conditions of the preceding sentence are not met then the Fund or Funds may terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days written notice. The Board of the Fund shall, forthwith, upon giving or receiving notice of termination of this Agreement, appoint as successor custodian, a bank or trust company having the qualifications required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Rules thereunder. The Bank, as Custodian, Agent or otherwise, shall, upon termination of the Agreement, deliver to such successor custodian, all securities then held hereunder and all funds or other properties of the Fund deposited with or held by the Bank hereunder and all books of account and records kept by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement, and all documents held by the Bank relative thereto. In the event that no written order designating a successor custodian shall have been delivered to the Bank on or before the date when such termination shall become effective, then the Bank shall not deliver the securities, funds and other properties of the Fund to the Fund but shall have the right to deliver to a bank or trust company doing business in Boston, Massachusetts of its own selection meeting the above required qualifications, all funds, securities and properties of the Fund held by or deposited with the Bank, and all books of account and records kept by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement, and all documents held by the Bank relative thereto. Thereafter such bank or trust company shall be the successor of the Custodian under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized officers, as of the day and year first above written.

You agree that you are willing to provide such services for each Fund and, accordingly, Winthrop and you agree as follows: 1. Portfolio Management Duties of Wright. Winthrop hereby employs Wright to provide continuing and suitable portfolio management services to each Fund and to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of each Fund, subject to the supervision of Winthrop and the Trustees of each Fund, for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. Wright hereby accepts such employment, and undertakes to afford to each Fund the advice and assistance of Wright's organization in the choice of investments and in the purchase and sale of securities for each Fund and to furnish for the use of each Fund office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Fund and to pay the salaries and fees of all officers and Trustees of each Fund who are members of Wright's organization and all personnel of Wright performing services relating to research and investment activities. Wright shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent any Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of any Fund. Wright shall provide each Fund with such portfolio management services and supervision as Winthrop may from time to time consider necessary for the proper supervision of such Fund's investments. Wright shall furnish continuously an investment program and shall determine from time to time what securities shall be purchased, sold or exchanged and what portion of each Fund's assets shall be held uninvested, subject always to the applicable restrictions of the Fund's Declaration of Trust, By-Laws and registration statement under the Investment Company Act of 1940, all as from time to time amended. Should the Trustees of any Fund at any time, however, make any specific determination as to investment policy for the Fund and notify Wright thereof in writing, Wright shall be bound by such determination for the period, if any, specified in such notice or until similarly notified that such determination has been revoked. Wright shall take, on behalf of each Fund, all actions which it deems necessary or desirable to implement the investment policies of the Fund. Wright shall place all orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities for the account of each Fund with brokers or dealers or banks or firms or other persons selected by Wright, and to that end Wright is authorized as the agent of Winthrop and each Fund to give instructions to the custodian of the Fund as to deliveries of securities and payment of cash for the account of the Fund. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers or banks or firms or other persons and the placing of such orders, Wright shall use its best efforts to seek to execute security transactions at prices which are advantageous to each Fund and (when a disclosed commission is being charged) at reasonably competitive commission rates. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to Wright or Winthrop and Wright is expressly authorized to pay any broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a security transaction which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if Wright determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which Wright and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. Subject to the requirement set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph, Wright is authorized to consider, as a factor in the selection of any broker or dealer with whom purchase or sale orders may be placed, the fact that such broker or dealer has sold or is selling shares of any Fund. Wright shall not be responsible for providing certain administrative services to any Fund under this Agreement. Eaton Vance Management, in its capacity as Administrator of each Fund, shall be responsible for providing such services to the Fund under the Fund's separate Administration Agreement with the Administrator. 2. Compensation. For all services to be rendered and expenses paid or assumed by you as herein provided, Winthrop will cause each Fund to pay you monthly in arrears on the last business day of each month the entire amount of the advisory fee that Winthrop is entitled to receive from such Fund. 3. Allocation of Charges and Expenses. It is understood that each Fund will pay all its expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by Wright hereunder, which expenses payable by each Fund shall include, without implied limitation, (i) expenses of maintaining each Fund and continuing its existence, (ii) registration for each Fund under the Invest- ment Company Act of 1940, (iii) commissions, fees and other expenses connected with the acquisition, holding and disposition of securities and other investments, (iv) auditing, accounting and legal expenses, (v) taxes and interest, (vi) governmental fees, (vii) expenses of issue, sale and redemption of Fund shares, (viii) expenses of registering and qualifying each Fund and its shares under federal and state securities laws and of preparing and printing prospectuses for such purposes and for distributing the same to shareholders and investors, and fees and expenses of registering and maintaining registrations of each Fund and of its principal underwriter, if any, as broker-dealer or agent under state securities laws, (ix) expenses of reports and notices to shareholders and of meetings of shareholders and proxy solicitations therefor, (x) expenses of reports to governmental officers and commissions, (xi) insurance expenses, (xii) association membership dues, (xiii) fees, expenses and disbursements of custodians and subcustodians for all services to each Fund (including without limitation safekeeping of funds, securities and other investments, keeping of books, accounts and records, and determination of net asset values), (xiv) fees, expenses and disbursements of transfer agents, dividend disbursing agents, shareholder servicing agents and registrars for all services to each Fund, (xv) expenses for servicing the accounts of shareholders, (xvi) any direct charges to shareholders approved by the Trustees of a Fund, (xvii) all payments to be made and expenses to be assumed by a Fund pursuant to any one or more distribution plans adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (xviii) compensation and expenses of Trustees of each Fund who are not members of Wright's organization, (xvix) the administration fees payable by each Fund to its Administrator, and (xx) such non-recurring items as may arise, including expenses incurred in connection with litigation, proceedings and claims and the obligation of each Fund to indemnify its Trustees, officers and shareholders with respect thereto. 4. Other Interests. It is understood that Trustees, officers and shareholders of each Fund are or may be or become interested in Wright as directors, officers, employees, shareholders or otherwise and that directors, officers, employees and shareholders of Wright are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that Wright may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise. It is also understood that directors, officers, employees and shareholders of Wright may be or become interested (as directors, trustees, officers, employees, shareholders or otherwise) in other companies or entities (including, without limitation, other investment companies) which Wright or Winthrop may organize, sponsor or acquire, or with which Wright or Winthrop may merge or consolidate, and that Wright or its affiliates may enter into advisory or management agreements or other contracts or relationships with such other companies or entities. 5. Limitation of Liability of Wright. The services of Wright to Winthrop and each Fund are not deemed to be exclusive, Wright being free to render services to others and engage in other business activities. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of Wright, Wright shall not be subject to liability to Winthrop, any Fund or any shareholder for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses which may be sustained in the acquisition, holding or disposition of any security or other investment. 6. Duration and Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective on February 1, 1996 and, unless terminated as herein provided, shall remain in full force and effect through and including February 28, 1997 and shall continue in full force and effect as to each Fund indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as such continuance after February 28, 1997 is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board of Trustees of such Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and (ii) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of such Fund who are not interested persons of Winthrop, Wright or the Fund cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Any Fund or either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other, terminate this Agreement as to that Fund without the payment of any penalty, by action of the Trustees of such Fund or the directors of Winthrop or Wright, as the case may be, and each Fund may, at any time upon such written notice to Winthrop or Wright, terminate this Agreement as to that Fund by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund. This Agreement shall terminate automatically as to any Fund in the event of its assignment or the assignment or termination of that Fund's Investment Advisory Contract. 7. Amendments of the Agreement. This Agreement may be amended by a writing signed by both parties hereto, provided that no amendment to this Agreement shall be effective as to any Fund until approved (i) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of that Fund who are not interested persons of Winthrop, Wright or such Fund cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund. 8. Limitation of Liability. Wright expressly acknowledges the provision in the Declaration of Trust of each Fund limiting the personal liability of the Trustees and officers of the Fund, and Wright hereby agrees that it shall not have recourse to or seek satisfaction from any Trustee, officer or shareholder of the Fund for payment of claims or obligations as between the Fund and Wright. No Fund shall be liable for the obligations of any other Fund. 9. Certain Definitions. The terms "assignment" and "interested persons" when used herein shall have the respective meanings specified in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as now in effect or as hereafter amended subject, however, to such exemptions as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission by any rule, regulation or order. The term "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall mean the vote, at a meeting of a Fund's shareholders, of the lesser of (a) 67 per centum or more of the shares of such Fund present or represented by proxy at the meeting if the shareholders of more than 50 per centum of the outstanding shares of the Fund are present or represented by proxy at the meeting, or (b) more than 50 per centum of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The terms "shareholders" and "shares" when used herein shall have the respective meaning specified in the Declaration of Trust of each Fund. 10. Responsibility of Winthrop. Notwithstanding this Agreement, Winthrop shall remain ultimately responsible for all of its obligations under the Investment Advisory Contracts. 11. Miscellaneous. The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Very truly yours, THE WINTHROP CORPORATION By:/s/Peter M. Donovan ---------------------- The foregoing Agreement is hereby agreed to as of the date hereof. WRIGHT INVESTORS' SERVICE, INC. By:/s/Judith Corchard ------------------- EX-99.11 5 AUDITORS CONSENT EXHIBIT 11 Independent Auditors' Consent We consent to the incorporation by reference in this Post-Effective Amendment No.10 to the Registration Statement (1933 Act File No. 33-30085) of The Wright EquiFund Equity Trust of our report dated February 2, 1996 and to the reference to us under the heading "Financial Highlights" appearing in the Prospectus which is part of such Registration Statement. DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Boston, Massachusetts February 26, 1996 EX-99.16 6 PERFORMANCE INFORMATION EXHIBIT 16 Schedule for Computation of Performance Quotations The average annual total return will be calculated using the following formula: P ( 1 + T )n = ERV where: P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 T = Average annual total return n = Number of years ERV = Ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment at the end of the period. Each Fund's yield is computed by dividing its net investment income per share earned during a recent 30-day period by the product of the average daily number of shares outstanding and entitled to receive dividends during the period and the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period. The results are compounded on a bond equivalent (semi-annual) basis and then they are annualized. Net investment income per share is equal to the Fund's dividends and interest earned during the period, reduced by accrued expenses for the period. The yield earned by the Fund will be calculated using the following formula: Yield = 2 [( a--b + 1) 6 + 1] ---- cd Where: a = dividends and interest earned during the period. b = expenses accrued for the period (after reductions). c = the average daily number of shares outstanding during the period that were entitled to receive dividends. d = the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period. A Fund's yield or total return may be compared to the Consumer Price Index and various domestic or foreign securities indices. A Fund's yield or total return and comparisons with these indices may be used in advertisements and in information furnished to present or prospective shareholders. From time to time, evaluations of a Fund's performance made by independent sources may be used in advertisements and in information furnished to present or prospective shareholders. These may include rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., an independent service which monitors the performance of mutual funds. The Lipper performance analysis reflects the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions but does not take sales charges into consideration and is prepared without regard to tax consequences.
