The Marshall Funds Story

The Marshall Funds offer a full line of investment choices, from money market funds to bond funds to domestic and international equity funds. Backed by a long history of investment management expertise and managed with uncommon discipline, the Marshall Funds’ story is a rich and substantial one. Here’s why:

Experience: The Marshall Funds are backed by the solid reputation and recognized experience of M&I Investment Management Corp., the adviser to the Funds. Managing more than $13.3 billion for corporations, foundations, endowments and individuals—including $5.8 billion of the Marshall Funds—M&I Investment Management Corp. was one of the first bank-sponsored investment advisory firms in the country, founded over 25 years ago. But M&I’s roots go even deeper. In fact, M&I Bank is the oldest financial institution in Wisconsin, celebrating 150 years in 1997.

Discipline: The Marshall Fund family’s hallmark is its highly specialized, style-specific investment approach. By staying “true to the style” of each Fund’s objectives, our experienced managers don’t bend or compromise the rules. That means each Marshall Fund adheres to the philosophy or “mission” of that Fund. This positions the Marshall Funds as excellent components in an asset allocation plan. In other words, if you buy a small-cap growth fund, it will stay a small-cap growth fund. There will be no surprises.

Capability: More than 50 dedicated, experienced investment professionals back up the Marshall Funds. With an average of more than 15 years of industry experience, our portfolio managers have proven their abilities through good markets and bad. To do their jobs, the entire staff leverages state of the art technology, including the best in Portfolio Management Systems, Performance Analysis Services, Trading Systems and Electronic Information Services.

Research: We believe in exhaustive and extensive research to inform investment selections in the Marshall Funds. That’s why M&I portfolio managers and analysts spend a substantial amount of their time in face-to-face meetings with the top management of firms they are analyzing, travelling to companies across the country to evaluate management, operations, strategies and products first-hand. Wall Street analysts’ coverage is studied on a daily basis as well.

Efficiency: The Marshall Funds are managed to help keep costs as low as possible, and the Funds’ expense ratios have dropped below the industry averages for their Fund peer groups as a result of our continued sales efforts and effective expense management.

Equity Funds

Marshall Equity Income Fund

Goal: To provide capital appreciation and above-average dividend income.

<R>

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in a broadly-diversified portfolio of common stocks whose market capitalization typically exceeds eight billion dollars. In order to provide both capital appreciation and income, the Adviser attempts to structure the portfolio to pursue a yield at least 1% more than the income earned on the stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). The Adviser selects stocks using a unique, quantitative, value-oriented approach that uses dividends as the initial guide to competitive long-term returns with less volatility.

Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund

Goal: To provide capital appreciation and income.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of large-sized companies whose market capitalization typically exceeds $10 billion. The Adviser looks for companies that are leaders in their industry and have records of above-average financial performance and proven superior management. These types of companies typically offer opportunities for growth and also provide dividend income.

Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund

Goal: To provide capital appreciation.

<R>

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies similar in size to those within the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400). As of August 31, 2001, the S&P 400’s range was approximately $329 million to $11 billion, but frequently changes as the market value of the stocks that comprise the S&P 400 changes or as stocks are added or removed from the S&P 400. The Adviser selects companies that exhibit traditional value characteristics, such as a price-to-earnings ratio less than the S&P 500, higher-than-average dividend yields or a lower-than-average price-to-book value. In addition, these companies may have under-appreciated assets, or be involved in company turnarounds or corporate restructurings.

The Adviser selects stocks of companies with growth characteristics, such as above-average earnings growth potential or where significant changes are taking place, such as new products, services, or methods of distribution, or overall business restructuring.

As of August 31, 2001, the Russell 2000’s range was approximately $5.6 million to $2.7 billion, but frequently changes as the market value of the stocks that comprise the Russell 2000 changes or as stocks are added or removed from the Russell 2000.

Marshall International Stock Fund

Goal: To provide capital appreciation.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in common stocks of companies located outside the United States. BPI Global Asset Management LLP (BPI) is the sub-adviser of the Fund. BPI uses a “bottom-up” approach to international investing within overall portfolio management guidelines. The stock selection process begins with identifying companies of any size within industry groups that have historically been successful and have a competitive advantage as evidenced by above-average profit margins, high returns on equity, low leverage and adequate cash flow. The selection process seeks to identify quality companies with attractive returns on equity, shareholder-oriented management, and a strong capital structure. Stocks are selected and retained when they are attractively valued within their industry by using traditional valuation measures such as price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios, resulting in an approach described as “quality companies at a reasonable price.” The portfolio management team closely monitors the Fund’s industry weightings and country weightings in relation to its performance benchmark.

Income Funds

Marshall Government Income Fund

Goal: To provide current income.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities, particularly mortgage-backed securities. The Fund will also invest in dollar roll transactions. The Adviser considers macroeconomic conditions and uses credit and market analysis in developing the general portfolio strategy. Current and historical interest rate relationships are used to evaluate market sectors and individual securities. The Fund generally maintains an average dollar-weighted maturity of four to 12 years.

Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund

Goal: To maximize total return consistent with current income.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in intermediate-term investment grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed and U.S. government securities. The Adviser’s strategy to achieve total return is to adjust the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate. The Adviser uses macroeconomic, credit and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted maturity of three to 10 years.

Marshall Short-Term Income Fund

Goal: To maximize total return consistent with current income.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in short- to intermediate-term investment grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed and U.S. government securities. The Adviser changes the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate and uses macroeconomic, credit and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted maturity of six months to three years.

As with all mutual funds, past performance is no guarantee of future results. The table, bar chart and total return information are for the Investor Class of Shares of the Short-Term Income Fund, which are not offered by this prospectus. The Fund’s Investor Class of Shares is not sold subject to a sales charge (load) and has returns based on net asset value. The returns for the Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares are not presented because it does not have a full calendar year of performance. The inception date of the Advisor Class of Shares is October 31, 2000. Returns would be substantially similar because the classes are invested in the same portfolio of returns. Returns would differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.

</R>

Money Market Fund

Marshall Money Market Fund

Goal: To provide current income consistent with stability of principal.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in high quality, short-term money market instruments. In order to produce income which minimizes volatility, the Adviser uses a “bottom-up” approach which evaluates debt securities of individual companies against the context of broader market factors such as the cyclical trend in interest rates, the shape of the yield curve and debt security supply factors.

Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund is subject to credit risks, interest rate risks and liquidity risks.

The purpose of this table is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that a shareholder of the Funds will bear either directly or indirectly. Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company and its affiliates receive advisory, custodial, shareholder services and administrative fees for the services they provide to the Funds or shareholders, as applicable. For more complete descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see "Marshall Funds, Inc. Information." Wire-transferred redemptions may be subject to an additional fee.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Marshall Funds with the cost of investing in other funds.

<R>

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in each of the Funds for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that each of the Funds’ operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

The above example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses. Your expenses will be less if you qualify to purchase shares at a reduced or no sales charge. Actual expenses may be greater than those shown.

Main Risks of Investing in the Marshall Funds

Stock Market Risks. The EQUITY FUNDS are subject to fluctuations in the stock markets, which have periods of increasing and decreasing values. Stocks are more volatile than debt securities. Greater volatility increases risk, but offers the potential for greater reward.

Stock market risk is also related to the size of the company issuing stock. Companies may be categorized as having a small, medium or large capitalization (market value). The potential risks are higher with small- and medium-capitalization companies and lower with large-capitalization companies. Therefore, you should expect that investments in the SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND, the MID-CAP GROWTH FUND and the MID-CAP VALUE FUND will be more volatile than broad stock market indices such as the S&P 500 or funds that invest in large-capitalization companies, such as the LARGE-CAP GROWTH & INCOME FUND and the EQUITY INCOME FUND.

What About Portfolio Turnover?

Although the Funds do not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking short-term profits, securities will be sold without regard to the length of time they have been held when the Funds’ Adviser or Sub-adviser believes it is appropriate to do so in light of a Fund’s investment goal. A higher portfolio turnover rate increases transaction expenses that must be borne directly by a Fund (and thus, indirectly by its shareholders), and affect Fund performance. In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover may result in the realization of larger amounts of capital gains which, when distributed to shareholders, are taxable to them.

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

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

Foreign Securities Risks. Foreign securities pose additional risks over U.S.-based securities for a number of reasons. Because the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND invests primarily in foreign securities, you should expect that these factors may adversely affect the value of an investment in the Fund. Foreign economic, governmental and political systems may be less favorable than those of the United States. Foreign governments may exercise greater control over their economies, industries and citizens’ rights. Specific risk factors related to foreign securities include: inflation, taxation policies, currency exchange rates and regulations and accounting standards. The INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND may incur higher costs and expenses when making foreign investments, which will affect the Fund’s total return.

Foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, the value of a Fund’s assets and income in U.S. dollars may be affected by changes in exchange rates and regulations, since exchange rates for foreign currencies change daily. The combination of currency risk and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile than securities traded exclusively in the United States. Although the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND values its assets daily in U.S. dollars, it will not convert its holdings of foreign currencies to U.S. dollars daily. Therefore, the Fund may be exposed to currency risks over an extended period of time.

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

Euro Risks. The INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND makes significant investments in securities denominated in the Euro, the new single currency of the European Monetary Union (EMU). Therefore, the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar will have a significant impact on the value of the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND’S investments.

With the advent of the Euro, the participating countries in the EMU can no longer follow independent monetary policies. This may limit these countries’ ability to respond to economic downturns or political upheavals.

Debt Securities Risks. Risks of debt securities will affect the INCOME FUNDS.

Prices of fixed-rate debt securities generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. The interest payments on fixed-rate debt securities do not change when interest rates change. Therefore, since the price of these securities can be expected to decrease when interest rates increase, you can expect that the value of investments in a Fund may go down. Although the Adviser attempts to anticipate interest rate movements, there is no guarantee that it will be able to do so.

What About Bond Ratings?

When the Funds invest in bonds and other debt securities and/or convertible securities, some will be rated in the lowest investment grade category (e.g., BBB or Baa). Bonds rated BBB by Standard and Poor’s or Baa by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. have speculative characteristics. Unrated bonds will be determined by the Adviser to be of like quality and may have greater risk (but a potentially higher yield) than comparable rated bonds. If a bond is downgraded, the Adviser will re-evaluate the bond and determine whether or not the bond is an acceptable investment.

In addition, longer-term debt securities will experience greater price volatility than debt securities with shorter maturities. You can expect the net asset values of a Fund to fluctuate accordingly.

The credit quality of a debt security is based upon the issuer’s ability to repay the security. If payments on a debt security are not paid when due, that may cause the net asset value of a Fund holding the security to go down.

Debt securities may also be subject to call risk. If interest rates decline, an issuer may repay (or “call”) a debt security held by a Fund prior to its maturity. If this occurs, the Adviser may have to reinvest the proceeds in debt securities paying lower interest rates. If this happens, a Fund may have a lower yield.

Asset-Backed/Mortgage-Backed Securities Risks. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks of prepayment. This is more likely to occur when interest rates fall because many borrowers refinance mortgages to take advantage of more favorable rates. Prepayments on mortgage-backed securities are also affected by other factors, such as the volume of home sales. A Fund’s yield will be reduced if cash from prepaid securities are reinvested in securities with lower interest rates. The risk of prepayment may also decrease the value of mortgage-backed securities.

Asset-backed securities may have a higher level of default and recovery risk than mortgage-backed securities. However, both of these types of securities may decline in value because of mortgage foreclosures or defaults on the underlying obligations.

Securities Descriptions

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

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

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

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

The following describes the types of fixed income securities in which the Funds invest.

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

Agency Securities. Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government sponsored entity acting under federal authority (a GSE). The United States supports some GSEs with its full faith and credit. Other GSEs receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few GSEs have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Agency securities are generally regarded as having low credit risks, but not as low as Treasury securities.

Corporate Debt Securities. Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

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

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

<R>

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

</R>

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

Dollar Rolls. Dollar rolls are transactions where a fund sells mortgage backed securities with a commitment to buy similar, but not identical, mortgage backed securities on a future date at a lower price. Normally, one or both securities involved are “to be announced” mortgage backed securities or “TBAs.” Dollar rolls are subject to interest rate risks and credit risks. These transactions may create leverage risks.

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

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

Insurance Contracts. Insurance contracts include guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements and annuities. The Fund treats these contracts as fixed income securities.

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

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

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

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

Temporary Defensive Investments. To minimize potential losses and maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market conditions, each of the Marshall Funds (except MONEY MARKET FUND) may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategy by investing up to 100% of Fund assets in cash or short-term, high quality money market instruments (for example, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, etc.). This may cause a Fund to temporarily forego greater investment returns for the safety of principal.

How to Buy Shares

<R>

What Do Shares Cost? You can buy shares of a Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for business. When a Fund receives your transaction request in proper form, it is processed at the next determined public offering price. The public offering price is the net asset value (NAV) plus any applicable sales charge. Each NAV is calculated for each of the Funds (other than MONEY MARKET FUND) at the end of regular trading (normally 3:00 p.m. Central Time) each day the NYSE is open. The NAV for the MONEY MARKET FUND is determined twice daily at 12:00 Noon (Central Time) and 3:00 p.m. (Central Time). In calculating NAV, a Fund’s portfolio (other than Money Market Fund) is valued using market prices. In calculating the Money Market’s NAV, that Fund’s portfolio is valued using amortized cost. Securities held by the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND may trade on foreign exchanges on days (such as weekends) when the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND does not calculate NAV. As a result, the NAV of the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND’s shares may change on days when you cannot purchase or sell the Fund’s shares.

In response to and for the duration of any extraordinary circumstances, each of Funds reserve the ability to modify when the Funds will open for purchase, exchange and redemption transactions, and when the Funds will calculate NAV.

</R>

If your investment representative opens an account in your name with the Marshall Funds, your first investment must be at least $1,000. However, you can add to your existing Marshall Funds account directly or through the Funds’ Systematic Investment Program for as little as $50. In special circumstances, these minimums may be waived or lowered at the Funds’ discretion. Call your Authorized Dealer for any additional limitations. Keep in mind that Authorized Dealers may charge you fees for their services in connection with your share transactions.

*A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% applies to Advisor Class of Shares redeemed up to 12 months after purchase of $1 million or more.

When the Funds’ distributor receives sales charges and marketing fees, it may pay some or all of them to Authorized Dealers. The distributor and its affiliates may pay out of their own assets amounts (including items of material value) to Authorized Dealers or other service providers for marketing and/or servicing shareholders.

The sales charge at purchase may be reduced or eliminated by:

  • sales in excess of $1,000,000;*
  • quantity purchases of Advisor Class of Shares;
  • combining concurrent purchases of:

--Shares by you, your spouse, and your children under age 21; or

--Advisor Class of Shares of two or more Marshall Funds;

  • accumulating purchases (in calculating the sales charge on an additional purchase, you may count the current value of previous Advisor Class of Shares purchases still invested in the Fund);
  • signing a letter of intent to purchase a specific dollar amount of Advisor Class of Shares within 13 months (call your investment representative for an application and more information); or
  • using the reinvestment privilege within 90 days of redeeming Advisor Class of Shares of an equal or lesser amount.

If your investment qualifies, you or your investment representative must notify the Funds’ distributor at the time of purchase to reduce or eliminate the sales charge. You will receive the reduced sales charge only on the additional purchases, and not retroactively on previous purchases. You should contact your investment professional for more information on reducing or eliminating the sales charge. In addition, no sales charge is imposed on:

  • Trustees or other fiduciaries purchasing Advisor Class of Shares for employee benefit plans of employers with ten or more employees, or
  • reinvested dividends and capital gains.

A Fund may also permit purchases without a sales charge from time to time, at its own discretion.

How Do I Purchase Shares? You may purchase shares through a broker-dealer, investment professional, or financial institution (Authorized Dealers). Some Authorized Dealers may charge a transaction fee for this service. If you purchase shares of a Fund through a program of services offered or administered by an Authorized Dealer or other service provider, you should read the program materials, including information relating to fees, in conjunction with the Funds’ prospectus. Certain features of a Fund may not be available or may be modified in connection with the program of services provided. Once you have opened an account with an Authorized Dealer, you may purchase additional Fund shares by contacting Marshall Funds Investor Services (MFIS) at 1-800-580-FUND (3863), if you have pre-authorized the telephone purchase privilege.

Your purchase order must be received by the Funds by 12:00 Noon (Central Time) for the MONEY MARKET FUND or 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) for all other Funds to get that day’s NAV. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. It is the responsibility of any Authorized Dealer or other service provider that has entered into an agreement with the Funds, its distributor, or administrative or shareholder services agent, to promptly submit purchase orders to the Funds. Orders placed through one of these entities are considered received when the Funds are notified of the purchase or redemption order. However, you are not the owner of Fund shares (and therefore will not receive dividends) until payment for the shares is received.

In order to purchase shares, you must reside in a jurisdiction where Fund shares may lawfully be offered for sale. In addition, you must have a Social Security or tax identification number. Checks sent to the Marshall Funds to purchase shares must be made payable to “Marshall Funds.”

Will the Small-Cap Growth Fund Always be Open to New Investors? It is anticipated that the SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND will be closed to new investors once its assets reach $500 million, subject to certain exceptions. However, if you own shares of the Fund prior to the closing date, you will still be able to reinvest dividends and add to your investment in the Fund.

Systematic Investment Program

  • You can have money automatically withdrawn from your checking account ($50 minimum) on a periodic basis.
  • Call your Authorized Dealer to apply for this program.

Additional Information About Checks and Automated Clearing House (ACH) Transactions Used to Purchase Shares

  • If your check or ACH purchase does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you will be charged a $15 fee.
  • If you purchase shares by check or ACH, you may not be able to receive proceeds from a redemption for up to seven days.

How to Redeem and Exchange Shares

How Do I Redeem Shares? You may redeem your Fund shares by contacting your Authorized Dealer. You should note that redemptions will be made only on days when a Fund computes its NAV. When your redemption request is received in proper form, it is processed at the next determined NAV.

Telephone or written requests for redemptions must be received in proper form and can be made through any Authorized Dealer. It is the responsibility of the Authorized Dealer or service provider to promptly submit redemption requests to a Fund. You may redeem shares by contacting MFIS at 1-800-580-FUND (3863), if you have pre-authorized the telephone redemption privilege.

Redemption requests for the Funds must be received by the Funds by 12:00 Noon (Central Time) for the MONEY MARKET FUND or 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) for all other Funds in order for shares to be redeemed at that day’s NAV. Redemption proceeds will normally be mailed, or wired if by written request, the following business day, but in no event more than seven days, after the request is made.

Will I Be Charged a Fee for Redemptions? A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% applies to Advisor Class of Shares redeemed up to 12 months after purchases of $1 million or more that did not initially pay a sales charge. You may be charged a transaction fee if you redeem Fund shares through an Authorized Dealer or service provider, or if you are redeeming by wire. Consult your Authorized Dealer or service provider for more information, including applicable fees.

Systematic Withdrawal Program

  • If you have a Fund account balance of at least $10,000, you can redeem shares (at least $100) on a periodic basis.
  • Contact your Authorized Dealer to apply for this program.

Checkwriting (Money Market Fund Only)

  • You can redeem shares of the MONEY MARKET FUND by writing a check in an amount of at least $250. You must have completed the checkwriting section of your account application and the attached signature card, or have completed a subsequent application form. The Fund will then provide you with the checks.
  • Your check is treated as a redemption order for Fund shares equal to the amount of the check.
  • A check for an amount in excess of your available Fund account balance will be returned marked “insufficient funds.”
  • Checks cannot be used to close your Fund account balance.
  • Checks deposited or cashed through foreign banks or financial institutions may be subject to local bank charges.

Additional Conditions for Redemptions

Signature Guarantees. In the following instances, you must have a signature guarantee on written redemption requests:

  • when you want a redemption to be sent to an address other than the one you have on record with a Fund;
  • when you want the redemption payable to someone other than the shareholder of record; or
  • when your redemption is to be sent to an address of record that was changed within the last 30 days.

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

Limitations on Redemption Proceeds. Redemption proceeds normally are wired or mailed within one business day after receiving a request in proper form. However, payment may be delayed up to seven days:

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

You will not accrue interest or dividends on uncashed checks from a Fund. If those checks are undeliverable and returned to a Fund, the proceeds will be reinvested in shares of the Funds that were redeemed.

Exchange Privilege. You may exchange Advisor Class of Shares of a Fund for Advisor Class of Shares of any of the other Marshall Funds free of charge, if you have previously paid a sales charge. An exchange is treated as a redemption and a subsequent purchase, and is therefore a taxable transaction. Signatures must be guaranteed if you request and exchange into another Fund with a different shareholder registration. The exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time.

Exchanges by Telephone. If you have completed the telephone authorization section in your account application or an authorization form obtained through your Authorized Dealer, you may telephone instructions to your Authorized Dealer to exchange between Fund accounts that have identical shareholder registrations. Telephone exchange instructions must be received by the Funds before 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) for shares to be exchanged at the NAV calculated that day. However, you will not receive a dividend of the Fund into which you exchange on the date of the exchange. You may also exchange Shares by contacting Marshall Funds Investor Services at 1-800-580-FUND (3863), if you pre-authorized the telephone exchange privilege.

The Funds and their service providers will record your telephone instructions. The Funds will not be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions as long as reasonable security procedures are followed. You will be notified of changes to telephone transaction privileges.

Frequent Traders. The Funds’ management or Adviser may determine from the amount, frequency and pattern of exchanges that a shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is detrimental to a Fund and its other shareholders. If this occurs, the Fund may terminate a shareholder’s purchase and/or exchange privileges.

Account and Share Information

Confirmations and Account Statements. You will receive confirmation of purchases, redemptions and exchanges (except for systematic program transactions). In addition, you will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including systematic program transactions, dividends and capital gains paid.

You may request photocopies of historical confirmations from prior years. The Funds may charge a fee for this service.

Dividends and Capital Gains. Dividends of the INCOME FUNDS and MONEY MARKET FUND are declared daily and paid monthly. You will receive dividends declared subsequent to the issuance of your shares, through the day your shares are redeemed.

Dividends of the EQUITY FUNDS are declared and paid quarterly, except for the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND, which declares and pays dividends annually. Dividends are paid to all shareholders invested in the EQUITY FUNDS on the record date.

In addition, the Funds pay any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares, unless you elect cash payments. If you elect cash payments and the payment is returned as undeliverable, your cash payment will be reinvested in Fund shares and your distribution option will convert to automatic reinvestment. If any distribution check remains uncashed for six months, the check amount will be reinvested in shares and you will not accrue any interest or dividends on this amount prior to the reinvestment.

What is a Dividend and Capital Gain?

A dividend is the money paid to shareholders that a mutual fund has earned from the income on its investments. A capital gain distribution is the money paid to shareholders from a Fund’s profit derived from the sale of an investment, such as a stock or bond.

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

Accounts with Low Balances. Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, a Fund may redeem shares in your account and pay you the proceeds if your account balance falls below the required minimum value of $1,000.

Before shares are redeemed to close an account, you will be notified in writing and allowed 30 days to purchase additional shares to meet the minimum account balance requirement.

Rule 12b-1 Plan. Each Marshall Fund has a Rule 12b-1 Plan which allows it to pay a fee equal to a maximum of 0.25% for the EQUITY FUNDS and INCOME FUNDS and 0.30% for the MONEY MARKET FUND’S Advisor Class of Shares assets to the Distributor and financial intermediaries for the sale, distribution and customer servicing of that Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares. Because these shares pay marketing fees on an ongoing basis, your investment cost may be higher over time than shares with different sales charges and marketing fees.

Multiple Classes. The Marshall Funds have adopted a plan that permits each Fund to offer more than one class of shares. Currently, the Funds offer two classes of shares (three classes for the Money Market and International Stock Funds). All shares of each Fund or class have equal voting rights and will generally vote in the aggregate and not by Fund or class. There may be circumstances, however, when shareholders of a particular Fund or class are entitled to vote on matters affecting that Fund or class. Share classes may have different sales charges and other expenses, which will affect their performance.

Tax Information

Federal Income Tax. The Funds send you a statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. For taxable investors, Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund. Dividends are taxable as ordinary income; capital gains are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time a Fund holds its assets. Fund distributions for the EQUITY INCOME FUND, MID-CAP VALUE FUND and LARGE-CAP GROWTH & INCOME FUND are expected to be both dividends and capital gains. Fund distributions for the other EQUITY FUNDS are expected to be primarily capital gains, and fund distributions of the INCOME FUNDS and MONEY MARKET FUND are expected to be primarily dividends.

Please consult your tax adviser regarding your federal, state and local tax liability. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares are taxable sales.

Supplemental Performance Information of the Sub-Adviser to the Marshall International Stock Fund

BPI Global Asset Management LLP (BPI) has served as sub-adviser for the Marshall International Stock Fund (“the Fund”) since March 29, 1999. Since the Fund’s inception on September 2, 1994 through March 29, 1999, the Fund was sub-advised by another firm. Daniel R. Jaworski, BPI’s Managing Director, currently serves as the portfolio manager for the Fund. Supplemental information is presented below to summarize BPI’s and Mr. Jaworski’s historical performance results for various entities other than the Marshall International Stock Fund. Historical performance of these other accounts is not a substitute for and is not indicative of future results of the Fund.

<R>

Mr. Jaworski was employed at STI Capital Management and managed the SunTrust Commingled Fund (a commingled investment fund with similar investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks to the Marshall International Stock Fund) for the period from February 1, 1995 to November 30, 1995. The following table summarizes the returns of the SunTrust Commingled Fund for the entire period during which Mr. Jaworski managed the fund, as compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI-EAFE).

3Q1995   11.94   11.55   4.17  
4Q1995(2)   4.57   4.20   4.05  

The commingled fund was not a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and therefore was not subject to certain diversification and investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the commingled fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely affected.

(1) Not a full quarter — excludes performance from 1/1/1995 to 1/31/1995.

(2) Not a full quarter — excludes performance from 12/1/1995 to 12/31/1995.

Mr. Jaworski was subsequently promoted to Director of International Portfolio Management & Research and Senior Portfolio Manager for the STI Classic International Equity Fund (a mutual fund with investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund) from December 1, 1995 to March 31, 1997. The following table summarizes the returns of the STI Classic International Equity Fund for the entire period during which Mr. Jaworski managed the fund, as compared to the MSCI-EAFE Index:

    Gross   Net   MSCI-EAFE  
    of Fees   of Fees   Performance

Annual 1996   23.82   22.08   6.05  
1Q1997   4.43   4.06   -1.57  

The average annual total return for the STI Classic International Fund for the one-year period from 4/1/96 to 3/31/97 was 21.31% as compared to 1.44% for the MSCI-EAFE for the same period. In addition, the fund’s average annual total return from its inception on 12/1/95 to 3/31/97 was 32.00%, compared to 6.39% for the MSCI-EAFE for the same period.

Mr. Jaworski left STI Capital Management, along with several other investment team members, to create BPI and serve as its Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer. The following table sets forth BPI’s composite performance information relating to the performance of institutional private accounts managed by BPI, during the periods indicated, that have investment objectives, policies, strategies, and risks substantially similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund. The performance information is provided to illustrate BPI’s historical performance in managing similar accounts as measured against the MSCI-EAFE Index.

</R>

The following accounts managed by BPI and Mr. Jaworski are not included in the composite performance for the reasons noted: (1) three Canadian international mutual funds, where “international” as defined by a Canadian investor includes an allocation to the U.S. and no allocation to Canada; (2) two U.S. International Funds that use multiple subadvisers, one of which is BPI; and (3) several private accounts with various investment restrictions.

(1) Not a full year — excludes performance from 1/1/1997 to 3/31/1997.

BPI represents that the composite performance information shown above has been calculated in accordance with recommended standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (“AIMR”). AIMR is a non-profit membership and education organization with more than 60,000 members worldwide that, among other things, has formulated a set of performance presentation standards for investment advisers (such as BPI). These AIMR performance presentation standards are intended to (1) promote full and fair presentations by investment advisers of their performance results, and (2) ensure uniformity in reporting so that performance results of investment advisers are directly comparable.

<R>

The returns in each of the above tables are calculated on a total return basis and include all dividends and interest, accrued income and all realized and unrealized gains and losses. The “Net of Fees” figures reflect the deduction of advisory and other fees paid by the accounts — “Gross of Fees” does not include these fees, but does include certain trading costs and embedded fees (e.g., “wrap fees”) that cannot be unbundled and have been deducted. The investment results of BPI have been audited up to June 30, 2001. Information from that date to September 30, 2001 has not been verified by the Marshall Funds or Federated Securities Corp. and is unaudited.

</R>

The BPI performance composite includes all actual, fee-paying, discretionary institutional accounts managed by BPI that have investment objectives, policies, strategies, and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund. Mr. Jaworski is the portfolio manager of each account included in the composite. However, the Sun Trust Commingled Fund and BPI institutional accounts included in BPI’s composite differ from the Marshall International Stock Fund, in that they are not subject to:

  • the same types of expenses as the Marshall International Stock Fund;
  • the investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940; and
  • the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

As a result, the performance results for the SunTrust Commingled Fund and BPI institutional accounts could have been adversely affected if they had been regulated as investment companies under the restrictions outlined above. In addition, the performance figures are for a short period of time and should not be indicative of long-term results.

Although the STI Classic International Equity Fund has objectives, policies, strategies, and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund, it is a separate fund and its performance is not indicative of the potential performance of the Marshall International Stock Fund.

<R>

The MSCI-EAFE Index is a capitalization-weighted foreign securities index, which is widely used to measure the performance of European, Australian, New Zealand, and Far Eastern stock markets. The MSCI-EAFE is unmanaged. Investments may not be made in an index. The Funds’ Statement of Additional Information contains further information on calculation of average annual total returns.

The Marshall Funds Story

The Marshall Funds offer a full line of investment choices, from money market funds to bond funds to domestic and international equity funds. Backed by a long history of investment management expertise and managed with uncommon discipline, the Marshall Funds’ story is a rich and substantial one. Here’s why:

Experience: The Marshall Funds are backed by the solid reputation and recognized experience of M&I Investment Management Corp., the adviser to the Funds. Managing more than $13.3 billion for corporations, foundations, endowments and individuals—including $5.8 billion of the Marshall Funds—M&I Investment Management Corp. was one of the first bank-sponsored investment advisory firms in the country, founded over 25 years ago. But M&I’s roots go even deeper. In fact, M&I Bank is the oldest financial institution in Wisconsin, celebrating 150 years in 1997.

Discipline: The Marshall Fund family’s hallmark is its highly specialized, style-specific investment approach. By staying “true to the style” of each Fund’s objectives, our experienced managers don’t bend or compromise the rules. That means each Marshall Fund adheres to the philosophy or “mission” of that Fund. This positions the Marshall Funds as excellent components in an asset allocation plan. In other words, if you buy a small-cap growth fund, it will stay a small-cap growth fund. There will be no surprises.

Capability: More than 50 dedicated, experienced investment professionals back up the Marshall Funds. With an average of more than 15 years of industry experience, our portfolio managers have proven their abilities through good markets and bad. To do their jobs, the entire staff leverages state of the art technology, including the best in Portfolio Management Systems, Performance Analysis Services, Trading Systems and Electronic Information Services.

Research: We believe in exhaustive and extensive research to inform investment selections in the Marshall Funds. That’s why M&I portfolio managers and analysts spend a substantial amount of their time in face-to-face meetings with the top management of firms they are analyzing, travelling to companies across the country to evaluate management, operations, strategies and products first-hand. Wall Street analysts’ coverage is studied on a daily basis as well.

Efficiency: The Marshall Funds are managed to help keep costs as low as possible, and the Funds’ expense ratios have dropped below the industry averages for their Fund peer groups as a result of our continued sales efforts and effective expense management.

Equity Funds

Marshall Equity Income Fund

Goal: To provide capital appreciation and above-average dividend income.

<R>

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in a broadly-diversified portfolio of common stocks whose market capitalization typically exceeds eight billion dollars. In order to provide both capital appreciation and income, the Adviser attempts to structure the portfolio to pursue a yield at least 1% more than the income earned on the stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). The Adviser selects stocks using a unique, quantitative, value-oriented approach that uses dividends as the initial guide to competitive long-term returns with less volatility.

Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund

Goal: To provide capital appreciation and income.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of large-sized companies whose market capitalization typically exceeds $10 billion. The Adviser looks for companies that are leaders in their industry and have records of above-average financial performance and proven superior management. These types of companies typically offer opportunities for growth and also provide dividend income.

Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund

Goal: To provide capital appreciation.

<R>

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies similar in size to those within the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400). As of August 31, 2001, the S&P 400’s range was approximately $329 million to $11 billion, but frequently changes as the market value of the stocks that comprise the S&P 400 changes or as stocks are added or removed from the S&P 400. The Adviser selects companies that exhibit traditional value characteristics, such as a price-to-earnings ratio less than the S&P 500, higher-than-average dividend yields or a lower-than-average price-to-book value. In addition, these companies may have under-appreciated assets, or be involved in company turnarounds or corporate restructurings.

Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund1

Goal: To provide capital appreciation.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of small-sized companies similar in size to those within the Russell 2000 Index (Russell 2000). As of August 31, 2001, the Russell 2000’s range was approximately $5.6 million to $2.7 billion, but frequently changes as the market value of the stocks that comprise the Russell 2000 changes or as stocks are added or removed from the Russell 2000.

1The SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND is the successor to the portfolio of a collective trust fund managed by the Adviser. At the Fund’s commencement of operations, the assets from the collective trust fund were transferred to the Fund in exchange for Fund shares. The Fund’s average annual total return since inception (11/1/95) is 19.06% through 12/31/00. The quoted performance data includes the performance of the collective trust fund for periods before the SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND’S registration statement became effective on August 30, 1996, adjusted to reflect the SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND’S expenses. The collective trust was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) and was not subject to certain diversification and investment restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act and the tax laws applicable to mutual funds. If the collective trust fund had been subject to those require ments and restrictions, the performance may have been adversely affected.

Marshall International Stock Fund

Goal: To provide capital appreciation.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in common stocks of companies located outside the United States. BPI Global Asset Management LLP (BPI) is the sub-adviser of the Fund. BPI uses a “bottom-up” approach to international investing within overall portfolio management guidelines. BPI identifies companies of any size within industry groups that have historically been successful and have a competitive advantage as evidenced by above-average profit margins, high returns on equity, low leverage and adequate cash flow. BPI then seeks to identify quality companies with attractive returns on equity, shareholder-oriented management, and a strong capital structure. Stocks are selected and retained when they are attractively valued within their industry by using traditional valuation measures such as price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios, resulting in an approach described as “quality companies at a reasonable price.” The portfolio management team closely monitors the Fund’s industry weightings and country weightings in relation to its performance benchmark.

Income Funds

Marshall Government Income Fund

Goal: To provide current income.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities, particularly mortgage-backed securities.

The Fund will also invest in dollar roll transactions. The Adviser considers macroeconomic conditions and uses credit and market analysis in developing the overall portfolio strategy. Current and historical interest rate relationships are used to evaluate market sectors and individual securities. The Fund generally maintains an average dollar-weighted maturity of four to twelve years.

Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund

Goal: To maximize total return consistent with current income.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in intermediate-term investment grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed and U.S. government securities. The Adviser’s strategy to achieve total return is to adjust the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate. The Adviser uses macroeconomic, credit and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted maturity of three to ten years.

Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund

Goal: To provide a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax and is consistent with preservation of capital.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in investment-grade municipal securities, which includes debt obligations of states, territories and possessions of the U.S. and political subdivisions and financing authorities of these entities that provide income exempt from federal income tax (including the federal alternative minimum tax). The Adviser selects Fund investments after assessing factors such as the cyclical trend in interest rates, the shape of the municipal yield curve, tax rates, sector valuation and municipal bond supply factors. The Fund will maintain an average dollar-weighted portfolio maturity of three to ten years.

Money Market Fund

Marshall Money Market Fund

Goal: To provide current income consistent with stability of principal.

<R>

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in high quality, short-term money market instruments. In order to produce income which minimizes volatility, the Adviser uses a “bottom-up” approach, which evaluates debt securities of individual companies against the context of broader market factors such as the cyclical trend in interest rates, the shape of the yield curve and debt security supply factors.

Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund is subject to credit risks, interest rate risks and liquidity risks.

Main Risks of Investing in the Marshall Funds

Stock Market Risks. The EQUITY FUNDS are subject to fluctuations in the stock markets, which have periods of increasing and decreasing values. Stocks are more volatile than debt securities. Greater volatility increases risk, but offers the potential for greater reward.

What About Portfolio Turnover?

Although the Funds do not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking short-term profits, securities will be sold without regard to the length of time they have been held when the Funds’ Adviser or Sub-adviser believes it is appropriate to do so in light of a Fund’s investment goal. A higher portfolio turnover rate increases transaction expenses that must be borne directly by a Fund (and thus, indirectly by its shareholders), and affect Fund performance. In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover may result in the realization of larger amounts of capital gains which, when distributed to shareholders, are taxable to them.

Stock market risk is also related to the size of the company issuing stock. Companies may be categorized as having a small, medium or large capitalization (market value). The potential risks are higher with small- and medium-capitalization companies and lower with large-capitalization companies. Therefore, you should expect that investments in the SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND, the MID-CAP GROWTH FUND and the MID-CAP VALUE FUND will be more volatile than broad stock market indices such as the S&P 500 or funds that invest in large-capitalization companies, such as the LARGE-CAP GROWTH & INCOME FUND and the EQUITY INCOME FUND.

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

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

Foreign Securities Risks. Foreign securities pose additional risks over U.S.-based securities for a number of reasons. Because the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND invests primarily in foreign securities, you should expect that these factors may adversely affect the value of an investment in the Fund. Foreign economic, governmental and political systems may be less favorable than those of the United States. Foreign governments may exercise greater control over their economies, industries and citizens’ rights. Specific risk factors related to foreign securities include: inflation, taxation policies, currency exchange rates and regulations and accounting standards. The INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND may incur higher costs and expenses when making foreign investments, which will affect the Fund’s total return.

Foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, the value of a Fund’s assets and income in U.S. dollars may be affected by changes in exchange rates and regulations, since exchange rates for foreign currencies change daily. The combination of currency risk and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile than securities traded exclusively in the United States. Although the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND values its assets daily in U.S. dollars, it will not convert its holdings of foreign currencies to U.S. dollars daily. Therefore, the Fund may be exposed to currency risks over an extended period of time.

Euro Risks. The INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND makes significant investments in securities denominated in the Euro, the new single currency of the European Monetary Union (EMU). Therefore, the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar will have a significant impact on the value of the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND’s investments.

With the advent of the Euro, the participating countries in the EMU can no longer follow independent monetary policies. This may limit these countries’ ability to respond to economic downturns or political upheavals.

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

What About Bond Ratings?

When the Funds invest in bonds and other debt securities and/or convertible securities, some will be rated in the lowest investment grade category (e.g., BBB or Baa). Bonds rated BBB by Standard and Poor’s or Baa by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. have speculative characteristics. Unrated bonds will be determined by the Adviser to be of like quality and may have greater risk (but a potentially higher yield) than comparable rated bonds. If a bond is downgraded, the Adviser will re-evaluate the bond and determine whether or not the bond is an acceptable investment.

Debt Securities Risks. Risks of debt securities will affect the INCOME FUNDS.

Prices of fixed-rate debt securities generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. The interest payments on fixed-rate debt securities do not change when interest rates change. Therefore, since the price of these securities can be expected to decrease when interest rates increase, you can expect that the value of investments in a Fund may go down. Although the Adviser attempts to anticipate interest rate movements, there is no guarantee that it will be able to do so.

In addition, longer-term debt securities will experience greater price volatility than debt securities with shorter maturities. You can expect the net asset values of a Fund to fluctuate accordingly.

The credit quality of a debt security is based upon the issuer’s ability to repay the security. If payments on a debt security are not paid when due, that may cause the net asset value of a Fund holding the security to go down.

Debt securities may also be subject to call risk. If interest rates decline, an issuer may repay (or “call”) a debt security held by a Fund prior to its maturity. If this occurs, the Adviser may have to reinvest the proceeds in debt securities paying lower interest rates. If this happens, a Fund may have a lower yield.

Municipal Securities Risks. An investment in the INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE FUND will be affected by municipal securities risks. Local political and economic factors may adversely affect the value and liquidity of municipal securities held by a Fund. The value of municipal securities also may be affected more by supply and demand factors or the creditwor-thiness of the issuer than by market interest rates. Repayment of municipal securities depends on the ability of the issuer or project backing such securities to generate taxes or revenues. There is a risk that the interest on an otherwise tax-exempt municipal security may be subject to federal income tax.

Asset-Backed/Mortgage-Backed Securities Risks. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks of prepayment. This is more likely to occur when interest rates fall because many borrowers refinance mortgages to take advantage of more favorable rates. Prepayments on mortgage-backed securities are also affected by other factors, such as the volume of home sales. A Fund’s yield will be reduced if cash from prepaid securities are reinvested in securities with lower interest rates. The risk of prepayment may also decrease the value of mortgage-backed securities.

Asset-backed securities may have a higher level of default and recovery risk than mortgage-backed securities. However, both of these types of securities may decline in value because of mortgage foreclosures or defaults on the underlying obligations.

Securities Descriptions

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

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

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

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

The following describes the types of fixed income securities in which the Funds invest.

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

Agency Securities. Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government sponsored entity acting under federal authority (a GSE). The United States supports some GSEs with its full faith and credit. Other GSEs receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few GSEs have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Agency securities are generally regarded as having low credit risks, but not as low as Treasury securities.

Corporate Debt Securities. Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

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

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

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

Mortgage Backed Securities. Mortgage backed securities represent interests in pools of mortgages. The mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates, maturities and other terms.

Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest rates. Interests in pools of adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.

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

Dollar Rolls. Dollar rolls are transactions where a fund sells mortgage backed securities with a commitment to buy similar, but not identical, mortgage backed securities on a future date at a lower price. Normally, one or both securities involved are “to be announced” mortgage backed securities or “TBAs.” Dollar rolls are subject to interest rate risks and credit risks. These transactions may create leverage risks.

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

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

Insurance Contracts. Insurance contracts include guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements and annuities.

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

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

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

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

<R>

Temporary Defensive Investments. To minimize potential losses and maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market conditions, each of the Marshall Funds (except the MONEY MARKET FUND) may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategy by investing up to 100% of Fund assets in cash or short-term, high quality money market instruments (for example, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, etc.). This may cause a Fund to temporarily forego greater investment returns for the safety of principal.

</R>

How to Buy Shares

<R>

What Do Shares Cost? You can buy shares of a Fund at net asset value (NAV), without a sales charge, on any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for business. When a Fund receives your transaction request in proper form, it is processed at the next determined NAV. Each NAV is calculated for each of the Funds (other than MONEY MARKET FUND) at the end of regular trading (normally 3:00 p.m. Central Time) each day the NYSE is open. The NAV for the MONEY MARKET FUND is determined twice daily at 12:00 Noon (Central Time) and 3:00 p.m. (Central Time). In calculating NAV, a Fund’s portfolio (other than Money Market Fund) is valued using market prices. In calculating the Money Market Fund’s NAV, that Fund’s portfolio is valued using amortized cost.

</R>

Securities held by the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND may trade on foreign exchanges on days (such as weekends) when the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND does not calculate NAV. As a result, the NAV of the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND’s shares may change on days when you cannot purchase or sell the Fund’s shares.

<R>

In response to and for the duration of any extraordinary circumstances, each of the Funds reserve the ability to modify when the Funds will open for purchase, exchange and redemption transactions, and when the Funds will calculate NAV.

</R>

To open an account with the Marshall Funds, your first investment must be at least $1,000. However, you can add to your existing Marshall Funds account directly or through the Funds’ Systematic Investment Program for as little as $50. In special circumstances, these minimums may be waived or lowered at the Funds’ discretion. Keep in mind that Authorized Dealers may charge you fees for their services in connection with your share transactions.

How Do I Purchase Shares? You may purchase shares directly from the Funds by completing and mailing the Account Application and sending your payment to the Fund by check or wire.

Once you have opened an account with an Authorized Dealer, you may purchase additional Fund shares by contacting Marshall Funds Investor Services (MFIS) at 1-800-236-FUND (3863).

Trust customers of an M&I Trust Company may purchase shares by contacting their trust account officer.

You may purchase shares through a broker-dealer, investment professional, or financial institution (Authorized Dealers). Some Authorized Dealers may charge a transaction fee for this service. If you purchase shares of a Fund through a program of services offered or administered by an Authorized Dealer or other service provider, you should read the program materials, including information relating to fees, in conjunction with the Funds’ prospectus. Certain features of a Fund may not be available or may be modified in connection with the program of services provided.

Your purchase order must be received by the Funds by 12:00 Noon (Central Time) for the MONEY MARKET FUND or 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) for all other Funds to get that day’s NAV. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. It is the responsibility of MFIS, any Authorized Dealer or other service provider that has entered into an agreement with the Funds, its distributor, or administrative or shareholder services agent, to promptly submit purchase orders to the Funds. Orders placed through one of these entities are considered received when the Funds are notified of the purchase or redemption order. However, you are not the owner of Fund shares (and therefore will not receive dividends) until payment for the shares is received.

In order to purchase shares, you must reside in a jurisdiction where Fund shares may lawfully be offered for sale. In addition, you must have a Social Security or tax identification number.

Will the Small-Cap Growth Fund Always be Open to New Investors? It is anticipated that the SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND will be closed to new investors who are not customers of M&I Trust Companies or M&I Brokerage Services, once its assets reach $500 million, subject to certain exceptions. However, if you own shares of the Fund prior to the closing date, you will still be able to reinvest dividends and add to your investment in the Fund.

How to Redeem and Exchange Shares

How Do I Redeem Shares?

When your redemption request is received in proper form, it is processed at the next determined NAV.

Trust customers of M&I Trust Companies should contact their account officer to make redemption requests.

Telephone or written requests for redemptions must be received in proper form as described below and can be made through MFIS or any Authorized Dealer. It is the responsibility of MFIS, and Authorized Dealer or service provider to promptly submit redemption requests to a Fund.

<R>

Will I Be Charged a Fee for Redemptions? You may be charged a transaction fee if you redeem Fund shares through an Authorized Dealer or service provider (other than MFIS or the M&I Trust Companies), or if you are redeeming by wire. Consult your Authorized Dealer or service provider for more information, including applicable fees. You will be charged a 2% short-term redemption fee on shares (other than Money Market Fund) which have been held for less than 90 days after a purchase (other than through reinvestments of capital gains or dividends). This charge is not applicable to trust or fiduciary customers of M&I affiliates.

  • when you want the redemption payable to someone other than the shareholder of record; or

Limitations on Redemption Proceeds. Redemption proceeds normally are wired or mailed within one business day after receiving a request in proper form. However, payment may be delayed up to seven days:

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

<R>

Exchange Privilege. You may exchange Investor Class of Shares of a Fund for Investor Class of Shares of any of the other Marshall Funds free of charge, provided you meet the investment minimum of the Fund. An exchange is treated as a redemption and a subsequent purchase, and is therefore a taxable transaction. Signatures must be guaranteed if you request and exchange into another Fund with a different shareholder registration. The exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time.

Exchanges by Telephone. If you have completed the telephone authorization section in your account application or an authorization form obtained through MFIS, you may telephone instructions to MFIS to exchange between Fund accounts that have identical shareholder registrations. Customers of broker-dealers, financial institutions or service providers should contact their account representative.

However, you will not receive a dividend of the Fund into which you exchange on the date of the exchange.

The Funds will not be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions as long as reasonable security procedures are followed. You will be notified of changes to telephone transaction privileges.

<R>

Frequent Traders. The Funds’ management or Adviser may determine from the amount, frequency and pattern of exchanges that a shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is detrimental to a Fund and its other shareholders. If this occurs, the Fund may terminate a shareholder’s purchase and/or exchange privileges. A subsequent redemption, if less than 90 days after purchase may be subject to a 2% short term redemption fee. See “Will I Be Charged a Fee for Redemptions?”

Account and Share Information

Fund Transactions Through Marshall Funds OnLineSM. If you have previously established an account with the Funds, and have signed an OnLine/SM/ Agreement, you may purchase, redeem or exchange shares through the Marshall Funds Internet Site on the World Wide Web (http://www.marshallfunds.com) (the Web Site). You may also check your Fund account balance(s) and historical transactions through the Web Site. You cannot, however, establish a new Fund account through the Web Site—you may only establish a new Fund account under the methods described in the How to Buy Shares section.

Trust customers of M&I Trust Companies should contact their account officer for information on the availability of transactions over the Internet.

You should contact MFIS at 1-800-236-FUND (3863) to get started. MFIS will provide instructions on how to create and activate your Personal Identification Number (PIN). If you forget or lose your PIN number, contact MFIS.

Online Conditions. Because of security concerns and costs associated with maintaining the Web Site, purchases, redemptions, and exchanges through the Web Site are subject to the following daily minimum and maximum transaction amounts:

  Minimum   Maximum




Purchases $50   $ 100,000





Redemptions By ACH: $50   By ACH: $50,000
  By wire: $1,000   By wire: $50,000




Exchanges $50   $ 100,000





Shares may be redeemed or exchanged based on either a dollar amount or number of shares. If you are redeeming or exchanging based upon number of Fund shares, you must redeem or exchange enough shares to meet the minimum dollar amounts described above, but not so much as to exceed the maximum dollar amounts.

Your transactions through the Web Site are effective at the time they are received by a Fund, and are subject to all of the conditions and procedures described in this prospectus.

You may not change your address of record, registration, or wiring instructions through the Web Site. The Web Site privilege may be modified at any time, but you will be notified in writing of any termination of the privilege.

Online Risks. If you utilize the Web Site for account histories or transactions, you should be aware that the Internet is an unsecured, unstable, unregulated and unpredictable environment. Your ability to use the Web Site for transactions is dependent upon the Internet and equipment, software, systems, data and services provided by various vendors and third parties (including telecommunications carriers, equipment manufacturers, firewall providers and encryption system providers).

While the Funds and their service providers have established certain security procedures, the Funds, their distributor and transfer agent cannot assure you that inquiries or trading activity will be completely secure. There may also be delays, malfunctions or other inconveniences generally associated with this medium. There may be times when the Web Site is unavailable for Fund transactions, which may be due to the Internet or the actions or omissions of a third party—should this happen, you should consider purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares by another method. The Marshall Funds, its transfer agent, distributor and MFIS are not responsible for any such delays or malfunctions, and are not responsible for wrongful acts by third parties, as long as reasonable security procedures are followed.

Confirmations and Account Statements. You will receive confirmation of purchases, redemptions and exchanges (except for systematic program transactions). In addition, you will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including systematic program transactions, dividends and capital gains paid.

You may request photocopies of historical confirmations from prior years. The Funds may charge a fee for this service.

Dividends and Capital Gains. Dividends of the INCOME FUNDS and MONEY MARKET FUND are declared daily and paid monthly. You will receive dividends declared subsequent to the issuance of your shares, through the day your shares are redeemed.

Dividends of the EQUITY FUNDS are declared and paid quarterly, except for the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND, which declares and pays dividends annually. Dividends are paid to all shareholders invested in the EQUITY FUNDS on the record date.

What is a Dividend and Capital Gain?

A dividend is the money paid to shareholders that a mutual fund has earned from the income on its investments. A capital gain distribution is the money paid to shareholders from a Fund’s profit derived from the sale of an investment, such as a stock or bond.

In addition, the Funds pay any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares, unless you elect cash payments. If you elect cash payments and the payment is returned as undeliverable, your cash payment will be reinvested in Fund shares and your distribution option will convert to automatic reinvestment. If any distribution check remains uncashed for six months, the check amount will be reinvested in shares and you will not accrue any interest or dividends on this amount prior to the reinvestment.

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

Accounts with Low Balances. Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, a Fund may redeem shares in your account and pay you the proceeds if your account balance falls below the required minimum value of $1,000.

Before shares are redeemed to close an account, you will be notified in writing and allowed 30 days to purchase additional shares to meet the minimum account balance requirement.

Multiple Classes. The Marshall Funds have adopted a plan that permits each Fund to offer more than one class of shares. Currently, the Funds offer two classes of shares (three classes for the Money Market and International Stock Funds). All shares of each Fund or class have equal voting rights and will generally vote in the aggregate and not by Fund or class. There may be circumstances, however, when shareholders of a particular Fund or class are entitled to vote on matters affecting that Fund or class. Share classes may have different sales charges and other expenses, which will affect their performance.

Tax Information

Federal Income Tax. The Funds send you a statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. For taxable investors, Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund. Dividends are taxable as ordinary income; capital gains are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time a Fund holds its assets. Fund distributions for the EQUITY INCOME FUND, MID-CAP VALUE FUND and LARGE-CAP GROWTH & INCOME FUND are expected to be both dividends and capital gains. Fund distributions for the other EQUITY FUNDS are expected to be primarily capital gains, and fund distributions of the INCOME FUNDS and MONEY MARKET FUND are expected to be primarily dividends.

It is anticipated that INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE FUND’s distributions will be primarily dividends that are exempt from federal income tax, although a portion of that Fund’s dividends may not be exempt. Even if dividends are exempt from federal income tax, they may be subject to state and local taxes. You may have to include certain dividends as taxable income if the federal alternative minimum tax applies to you.

Please consult your tax adviser regarding your federal, state and local tax liability. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares are taxable sales.

Supplemental Performance Information of the Sub-Adviser to the Marshall International Stock Fund

BPI Global Asset Management LLP (BPI) has served as sub-adviser for the Marshall International Stock Fund (“the Fund”) since March 29, 1999. Since the Fund’s inception on September 2, 1994 through March 29, 1999, the Fund was sub-advised by another firm. Daniel R. Jaworski, BPI’s Managing Director, currently serves as the portfolio manager for the Fund. Supplemental information is presented below to summarize BPI’s and Mr. Jaworski’s historical performance results for various entities other than the Marshall International Stock Fund. Historical performance of these other accounts is not a substitute for and is not indicative of future results of the Fund.

<R>

Mr. Jaworski was employed at STI Capital Management and managed the SunTrust Commingled Fund (a commingled investment fund with similar investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks to the Marshall International Stock Fund) for the period from February 1, 1995 to November 30, 1995. The following table summarizes the returns of the SunTrust Commingled Fund for the entire period during which Mr. Jaworski managed the fund, as compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI-EAFE).

</R>

    Gross   Net   MSCI-EAFE
    of Fees   of Fees   Performance

3Q1995   11.94   11.55   4.17







4Q1995 (2)   4.57   4.20   4.05







The commingled fund was not a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and therefore was not subject to certain diversification and investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the commingled fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely affected.

(1) Not a full quarter — excludes performance from 1/1/1995 to 1/31/1995.

(2) Not a full quarter — excludes performance from 12/1/1995 to 12/31/1995.

Mr. Jaworski was subsequently promoted to Director of International Portfolio Management & Research and Senior Portfolio Manager for the STI Classic International Equity Fund (a mutual fund with investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund) from December 1, 1995 to March 31, 1997. The following table summarizes the returns of the STI Classic International Equity Fund for the entire period during which Mr. Jaworski managed the fund, as compared to the MSCI-EAFE Index:

    Gross   Net   MSCI-EAFE
    of Fees   of Fees   Performance







12/1/95 - 12/31/95   4.02%   3.50%   4.03%

Annual 1996   23.82   22.08   6.05







1Q1997   4.43   4.06   -1.57







The average annual total return for the STI Classic International Fund for the one-year period from 4/1/96 to 3/31/97 was 21.31% as compared to 1.44% for the MSCI-EAFE for the same period. In addition, the fund’s average annual total return from its inception on 12/1/95 to 3/31/97 was 32.00%, compared to 6.39% for the MSCI-EAFE for the same period.

Mr. Jaworski left STI Capital Management, along with several other investment team members, to create BPI and serve as its Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer. The following table sets forth BPI’s composite performance information relating to the performance of institutional private accounts managed by BPI, during the periods indicated, that have investment objectives, policies, strategies, and risks substantially similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund. The performance information is provided to illustrate BPI’s historical performance in managing similar accounts as measured against the MSCI-EAFE Index.

The following accounts managed by BPI and Mr. Jaworski are not included in the composite performance for the reasons noted: (1) three Canadian international mutual funds, where “international” as defined by a Canadian investor includes an allocation to the U.S. and no allocation to Canada; (2) two U.S. International Funds that use multiple subadvisers, one of which is BPI; and (3) several private accounts with various investment restrictions.

(1) Not a full year excludes performance from 1/1/1997 to 3/31/1997.

BPI represents that the composite performance information shown above has been calculated in accordance with recommended standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (“AIMR”). AIMR is a non-profit membership and education organization with more than 60,000 members worldwide that, among other things, has formulated a set of performance presentation standards for investment advisers (such as BPI). These AIMR performance presentation standards are intended to (1) promote full and fair presentations by investment advisers of their performance results, and (2) ensure uniformity in reporting so that performance results of investment advisers are directly comparable.

<R>

The returns in each of the above tables are calculated on a total return basis and include all dividends and interest, accrued income and all realized and unrealized gains and losses. The “Net of Fees” figures reflect the deduction of advisory and other fees paid by the accounts—“Gross of Fees” does not include these fees, but does include certain trading costs and embedded fees (e.g., “wrap fees”) that cannot be unbundled and have been deducted. The investment results of BPI have been audited up to June 30, 2001. Information from that date to September 30, 2001 has not been verified by the Marshall Funds or Federated Securities Corp. and is unaudited.

</R>

The BPI performance composite includes all actual, fee-paying, discretionary institutional accounts managed by BPI that have investment objectives, policies, strategies, and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund. Mr. Jaworski is the portfolio manager of each account included in the composite. However, the Sun Trust Commingled Fund and BPI institutional accounts included in BPI’s composite differ from the Marshall International Stock Fund, in that they are not subject to:

  • the same types of expenses as the Marshall International Stock Fund;
  • the investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940; and
  • the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

As a result, the performance results for the SunTrust Commingled Fund and BPI institutional accounts could have been adversely affected if they had been regulated as investment companies under the restrictions outlined above. In addition, the performance figures are for a short period of time and should not be indicative of long-term results.

Although the STI Classic International Equity Fund has objectives, policies, strategies, and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund, it is a separate fund and its performance is not indicative of the potential performance of the Marshall International Stock Fund.

The MSCI-EAFE Index is a capitalization-weighted foreign securities index, which is widely used to measure the performance of European, Australian, New Zealand, and Far Eastern stock markets. The MSCI-EAFE is unmanaged. Investments may not be made in an index. The Funds’ Statement of Additional Information contains further information on calculation of average annual total returns.

Financial Highlights–Investor Class of Shares

The Financial Highlights will help you understand a Fund’s financial performance for its past five fiscal years or since inception, if the life of a Fund is shorter. Some of the information is presented on a per share basis. Total returns represent the rate an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a Fund, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains.

<R>

The following table has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the Funds’ independent auditors for the fiscal years ended August 31, 1999 through August 31, 2001. Their report dated October 16, 2001 is included in the Annual Report for the Funds, which is incorporated by reference. Each of the previous two years were audited by other auditors. This table should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements and notes thereto, which may be obtained free of charge from the Funds.

Further information about the performance of the Funds is contained in the Funds’ Annual Report dated August 31, 2001, which may be obtained free of charge.

Shares of the Marshall International Stock Fund, like shares of all mutual funds, are not bank deposits, federally insured or guaranteed, and may lose value.

Risk/Return Profile

Marshall International Stock Fund

Goal: The Fund’s goal is to provide capital appreciation.

<R>

Strategy: The Fund invests in common stocks of companies located outside the United States. BPI Global Asset Management, LLP (BPI) is the sub-adviser of the Fund.

</R>

BPI uses a “bottom-up” approach to international investing within overall portfolio management guidelines. The stock selection process begins with identifying companies of any size within industry groups that have historically been successful and have a competitive advantage as evidenced by above-average profit margins, high returns on equity, low leverage and adequate cash flow. The selection process seeks to identify quality companies with attractive returns on equity, shareholder-oriented management, and a strong capital structure. Stocks are selected and retained when they are attractively valued within their industry by using traditional valuation measures such as price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios, resulting in an approach described as “quality companies at a reasonable price.” The portfolio management team closely monitors the Fund’s industry weightings and country weightings in relation to its performance benchmark.

Risks: The Fund is subject to fluctuations in the stock markets, which have periods of increasing and decreasing values. Foreign securities pose additional risks over U.S.-based securities. The Fund is also subject to sector risks. The shares offered by this prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.

As with all mutual funds, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Shares of the Marshall Fund offered by this prospectus are not sold subject to a sales charge (load). The total returns displayed are based upon net asset value.

(1) Although not contractually obligated to do so, the Adviser waived certain amounts. The net expenses the Fund actually paid for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 are shown below.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after waivers) 1.21 %

(2) The Adviser voluntarily waived a portion of the management fee. The Adviser may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time. The management fee paid by the Fund (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.98% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001.

The purpose of this table is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that a shareholder of the Fund will bear either directly or indirectly. Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, an affiliate of the Adviser, receives custodial and administrative fees for the services it provides to the Fund or shareholders as applicable. For more complete descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see “Marshall Funds, Inc. Information.” Wire-transferred redemptions may be subject to an additional fee.

</R>

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Institutional Class of Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

<R>

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Institutional Class of Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Institutional Class of Shares operating expenses are before waiver as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

</R>

1 Year
$
125  
3 Years
$
390  
5 Years
$
676  
10 Years

The above example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater than those shown.

The Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

Stock Market Risks. The Fund is subject to fluctuation in the stock markets, which have periods of increasing and decreasing values. Stocks have greater volatility than debt securities. While greater volatility increases risk, it offers the potential for greater reward.

Stock market risk is also related to the size of the company issuing stock. Companies may be categorized as having a small, medium or large capitalization (market value). The potential risks are higher with small- and medium-capitalization companies and lower with large-capitalization companies.

Foreign Securities Risks. Foreign securities pose additional risks over U.S.-based securities for a number of reasons. Because the Fund invests primarily in foreign securities, you should expect that these factors may adversely affect the value of an investment in the Fund. Foreign economic, governmental and political systems may be less favorable than those of the United States. Foreign governments may exercise greater control over their economies, industries and citizens’ rights. Specific risk factors related to foreign securities include: inflation, taxation policies, currency exchange rates and regulations and accounting standards. The Fund may incur costs and expenses when making foreign investments that are higher than when making domestic investments, which will affect the Fund’s total return.

Foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, the value of the Fund’s assets and income in U.S. dollars may be affected by changes in exchange rates and regulations, since exchange rates for foreign securities change daily. The combination of currency risk and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile than securities traded exclusively in the United States. Although the Fund values its assets daily in U.S. dollars, it will not convert its holding of foreign currencies to U.S. dollars daily. Therefore the Fund may be exposed to currency risks over an extended period of time.

Euro Risks. The Fund makes significant investments in securities denominated in the Euro, the new single currency of the European Monetary Union (EMU). Therefore, the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar will have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments.

With the advent of the Euro, the participating countries in the EMU can no longer follow independent monetary policies. This may limit these countries’ ability to respond to economic downturns or political upheavals.

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

Portfolio Turnover. Although the Fund does not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking short-term profits, securities will be sold without regard to the length of time they have been held when the Fund’s Adviser or Sub-adviser believes it is appropriate to do so in light of the Fund’s investment goal. A higher portfolio turnover rate involves greater transaction expenses that must be borne directly by the Fund (and thus, indirectly by its shareholders), and affect Fund performance. In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover may result in the realization of larger amounts of capital gains which, when distributed to the Fund’s shareholders, are taxable to them.

Temporary Defensive Investments. The Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by investing its assets in cash, cash items, and shorter-term, higher-quality debt securities and similar obligations. It may do this to minimize potential losses and maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market conditions. This may cause the Fund to give up greater investment returns to maintain the safety of principal, that is, the original amount invested by shareholders.

<R>

Securities Descriptions

Equity Securities. Equity securities represent a share of an issuer’s earning’s and assets, after the issuer pays its liabilities. The EQUITY FUNDS cannot predict the income they will receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because their value increases directly with the value of the issuer’s business.

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

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

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

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

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

</R>

How to Buy Shares

What Do Shares Cost? You can buy Institutional Class of Shares of the Fund at net asset value (NAV), without a sales charge, on any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for business. When the Fund receives your transaction request in proper form, it is processed at the next determined NAV. NAV is determined for the Fund at the end of regular trading (normally 3:00 p.m. Central Time) each day the NYSE is open. In calculating NAV, the Fund’s portfolio is valued using market prices.

Securities held by the Fund may trade on foreign exchanges on days (such as weekends) when the Fund does not calculate NAV. As a result, the NAV of the Fund’s shares may change on days when you cannot purchase or sell the Fund’s shares.

<R>

In response to and for the duration of any extraordinary circumstances, the Fund reserves the ability to modify when the Fund will open for purchase, exchange and redemption transactions, and when the Fund will calculate NAV.

</R>

To open an account with the Fund, your first investment must be at least $1 million. The minimum investment amount to add to your existing account is $100,000. An account may be opened with a smaller amount as long as the minimum is reached within 90 days. An institutional investor’s minimum investment is calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the Fund. In special circumstances, these minimums may be waived or lowered at the Fund’s discretion.

How Do I Purchase Shares? You may purchase shares directly from the Fund by completing and mailing the Account Application and sending your payment to the Fund by check or wire.

You may also purchase shares through a broker/dealer, investment professional, or financial institution (Authorized Dealers). Some Authorized Dealers may charge a transaction fee for this service. If you purchase shares of the Fund through a program of services offered or administered by an Authorized Dealer or other service provider, you should read the program materials, including information relating to fees, in conjunction with the Fund’s prospectus. Certain features of the Fund may not be available or may be modified in connection with the program of services provided.

Your purchase order must be received by the Fund by 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) to get that day’s NAV. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. However, you are not the owner of Fund shares (and therefore will not receive dividends) until payment for the shares is received.

In order to purchase shares, you must reside in a jurisdiction where Fund shares may lawfully be offered for sale. In addition, you must have a Social Security or tax identification number.

Fund Redemption Easy Reference Table

Phone

  • If you have authorized the telephone redemption privilege in your Account Application or by a subsequent authorization form, you may redeem shares by telephone.

Wire/Electronic Transfer

  • Upon written request, redemption proceeds can be directly deposited by Electronic Funds Transfer or wired directly to a domestic commercial bank previously designated by you in your Account Application or subsequent form.
  • Wires of redemption proceeds will only be made on days on which the Fund and the Federal Reserve wire system are open for business.
  • Wire-transferred redemptions may be subject to an additional fee imposed by the bank receiving the wire.

Additional Conditions for Redemptions

Limitations on Redemption Proceeds. Redemption proceeds normally are wired within one business day after receiving a request in proper form. However, payment may be delayed up to seven days:

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

Corporate Resolutions. Corporations, trusts and institutional organizations are required to furnish evidence of the authority of persons designated on the account application to effect transactions on behalf of the organization.

Account and Share Information

Confirmations and Account Statements. You will receive confirmation of purchases and redemptions. In addition, you will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including dividends and capital gains paid.

Dividends and Capital Gains. The Fund declares and pays any dividends annually to shareholders. Dividends are paid to all shareholders invested in the Fund on the record date. The record date is the date on which a shareholder must officially own shares in order to earn a dividend.

In addition, the Fund pays any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares, unless you elect cash payments. If you elect cash payments and the payment is returned as undeliverable, your cash payment will be reinvested in Fund shares and your distribution option will convert to automatic reinvestment. If any distribution check remains uncashed for six months, the check amount will be reinvested in shares and you will not accrue any interest or dividends on this amount prior to the reinvestment.

If you purchase shares just before a Fund declares a dividend or capital gain distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution, whether or not you reinvest the distribution in shares. Therefore, you should consider the tax implications of purchasing shares shortly before the Fund declares a dividend or capital gain.

Multiple Classes. The Marshall Funds have adopted a plan that permits the Fund to offer more than one class of shares. All shares of the Fund or class have equal voting rights and will generally vote in the aggregate and not by class. There may be circumstances, however, when shareholders of a particular Marshall Fund or class are entitled to vote on matters affecting that Fund or class. Share classes may have different sales charges and other expenses, which will affect performance.

Tax Information

Federal Income Tax. The Fund sends an annual statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund. Dividends are taxable as ordinary income; capital gains are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time the Fund holds its assets.

Fund distributions are expected to be primarily capital gains. Redemptions are taxable sales. Please consult your tax adviser regarding your federal, state, and local tax liability.

Supplemental Performance Information of the Sub-Adviser to the Marshall International Stock Fund

BPI Global Asset Management LLP (BPI) has served as sub-adviser for the Marshall International Stock Fund (“the Fund”) since March 29, 1999. Since the Fund’s inception on September 2, 1994 through March 29, 1999, the Fund was sub-advised by another firm. Daniel R. Jaworski, BPI’s Managing Director, currently serves as the portfolio manager for the Fund. Supplemental information is presented below to summarize BPI’s and Mr. Jaworski’s historical performance results for various entities other than the Marshall International Stock Fund. Historical performance of these other accounts is not a substitute for and is not indicative of future results of the Fund.

<R>

Mr. Jaworski was employed at STI Capital Management and managed the SunTrust Commingled Fund (a commingled investment fund with similar investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks to the Marshall International Stock Fund) for the period from February 1, 1995 to November 30, 1995. The following table summarizes the returns of the SunTrust Commingled Fund for the entire period during which Mr. Jaworski managed the fund, as compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI-EAFE).

The commingled fund was not a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and therefore was not subject to certain diversification and investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the commingled fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely affected.

(1) Not a full quarter — excludes performance from 1/1/1995 to 1/31/1995.

(2) Not a full quarter — excludes performance from 12/1/1995 to 12/31/1995.

Mr. Jaworski was subsequently promoted to Director of International Portfolio Management & Research and Senior Portfolio Manager for the STI Classic International Equity Fund (a mutual fund with investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund) from December 1, 1995 to March 31, 1997. The following table summarizes the returns of the STI Classic International Equity Fund for the entire period during which Mr. Jaworski managed the fund, as compared to the MSCI-EAFE Index:

The following accounts managed by BPI and Mr. Jaworski are not included in the composite performance for the reasons noted: (1) three Canadian international mutual funds, where “international” as defined by a Canadian investor includes an allocation to the U.S. and no allocation to Canada; (2) two U.S. International Funds that use multiple subadvisers, one of which is BPI; and (3) several private accounts with various investment restrictions.

(1) Not a full year — excludes performance from 1/1/1997 to 3/31/1997.

BPI represents that the composite performance information shown above has been calculated in accordance with recommended standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (“AIMR”). AIMR is a non-profit membership and education organization with more than 60,000 members worldwide that, among other things, has formulated a set of performance presentation standards for investment advisers (such as BPI). These AIMR performance presentation standards are intended to (1) promote full and fair presentations by investment advisers of their performance results, and (2) ensure uniformity in reporting so that performance results of investment advisers are directly comparable.

The returns in each of the above tables are calculated on a total return basis and include all dividends and interest, accrued income and all realized and unrealized gains and losses. The “Net of Fees” figures reflect the deduction of advisory and other fees paid by the accounts — “Gross of Fees” does not include these fees, but does include certain trading costs and embedded fees (e.g., “wrap fees”) that cannot be unbundled and have been deducted. The investment results of BPI have been audited up to June 30, 2001. Information from that date to September 30, 2001 has not been verified by the Marshall Funds or Federated Securities Corp. and is unaudited.

The BPI performance composite includes all actual, fee-paying, discretionary institutional accounts managed by BPI that have investment objectives, policies, strategies, and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund. Mr. Jaworski is the portfolio manager of each account included in the composite. However, the Sun Trust Commingled Fund and BPI institutional accounts included in BPI’s composite differ from the Marshall International Stock Fund, in that they are not subject to:

  • the same types of expenses as the Marshall International Stock Fund;
  • the investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940; and
  • the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

As a result, the performance results for the SunTrust Commingled Fund and BPI institutional accounts could have been adversely affected if they had been regulated as investment companies under the restrictions outlined above. In addition, the performance figures are for a short period of time and should not be indicative of long-term results.

Although the STI Classic International Equity Fund has objectives, policies, strategies, and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund, it is a separate fund and its performance is not indicative of the potential performance of the Marshall International Stock Fund.

The MSCI-EAFE Index is a capitalization-weighted foreign securities index, which is widely used to measure the performance of European, Australian, New Zealand, and Far Eastern stock markets. The MSCI-EAFE is unmanaged. Investments may not be made in an index. The Fund’s Statement of Additional Information contains further information on calculation of average annual total returns.

An international equity mutual fund seeking to provide capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies outside of the United States.

Shares of the Marshall International Stock Fund, like shares of all mutual funds, are not bank deposits, federally insured or guaranteed, and may lose value.

Risk/Return Profile

Marshall International Stock Fund

Goal: The Fund’s goal is to provide capital appreciation.

Strategy: The Fund invests in common stocks of companies located outside the United States. BPI Global Asset Management, LLP is the sub-adviser of the Fund.

BPI uses a “bottom-up” approach to international investing within overall portfolio management guidelines. The stock selection process begins with identifying companies of any size within industry groups that have historically been successful and have a competitive advantage as evidenced by above-average profit margins, high returns on equity, low leverage and adequate cash flow. The selection process seeks to identify quality companies with attractive returns on equity, shareholder-oriented management, and a strong capital structure. Stocks are selected and retained when they are attractively valued within their industry by using traditional valuation measures such as price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios, resulting in an approach described as “quality companies at a reasonable price.” The portfolio management team closely monitors the Fund’s industry weightings and country weightings in relation to its performance benchmark.

Risks: The Fund is subject to fluctuations in the stock markets, which have periods of increasing and decreasing values. Foreign securities pose additional risks over U.S.-based securities. The Fund is also subject to sector risks. The shares offered by this prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.

(1) Although not contractually obligate to do so, the Adviser waived certain amounts. The net expenses the Fund actually paid for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 are shown below.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after waivers) 1.46 %

(2) The Adviser voluntarily waived a portion of the management fee. The Adviser may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time. The management fee paid by the Fund (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.98% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001. *Redemptions within 90 days of purchase are subject to a 2.00% fee, which is retained by the Fund and not the distributor. See “Will I Be Charged a Fee for Redemptions?”

The purpose of this table is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that a shareholder of the Funds will bear either directly or indirectly. Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company and its affiliates receive advisory, custodial, shareholder services and administrative fees for the services they provide to the Fund or shareholders as applicable. For more complete descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see “Marshall Funds, Inc. Information.” Wire-transferred redemptions may be subject to an additional fee.

</R>

Example

<R>

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Investor Class of Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Investor Class of Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Investor Class of Shares operating expenses are before waiver as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year   $151  
3 Years   $468  
5 Years   $808  
10 Years   $1,768  



 

</R>

The above example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

The Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

Stock Market Risks. The Fund is subject to fluctuation in the stock markets, which have periods of increasing and decreasing values. Stocks have greater volatility than debt securities. While greater volatility increases risk, it offers the potential for greater reward.

Stock market risk is also related to the size of the company issuing stock. Companies may be categorized as having a small, medium or large capitalization (market value). The potential risks are higher with small- and medium-capitalization companies and lower with large-capitalization companies.

Foreign Securities Risks. Foreign securities pose additional risks over U.S.-based securities for a number of reasons. Because the Fund invests primarily in foreign securities, you should expect that these factors may adversely affect the value of an investment in the Fund. Foreign economic, governmental and political systems may be less favorable than those of the United States. Foreign governments may exercise greater control over their economies, industries and citizens’ rights.

Specific risk factors related to foreign securities include: inflation, taxation policies, currency exchange rates and regulations and accounting standards. The Fund may incur costs and expenses when making foreign investments that are higher than when making domestic investments, which will affect the Fund’s total return.

Foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, the value of the Fund’s assets and income in U.S. dollars may be affected by changes in exchange rates and regulations, since exchange rates for foreign securities change daily. The combination of currency risk and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile than securities traded exclusively in the United States. Although the Fund values its assets daily in U.S. dollars, it will not convert its holding of foreign currencies to U.S. dollars daily. Therefore the Fund may be exposed to currency risks over an extended period of time.

Euro Risks. The Fund makes significant investments in securities denominated in the Euro, the new single currency of the European Monetary Union (EMU). Therefore, the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar will have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments.

With the advent of the Euro, the participating countries in the EMU can no longer follow independent monetary policies. This may limit these countries’ ability to respond to economic downturns or political upheavals.

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

Portfolio Turnover. Although the Fund does not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking short-term profits, securities will be sold without regard to the length of time they have been held when the Fund’s Adviser or Sub-adviser believes it is appropriate to do so in light of the Fund’s investment goal. A higher portfolio turnover rate involves greater transaction expenses that must be borne directly by the Fund (and thus, indirectly by its shareholders), and affect Fund performance. In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover may result in the realization of larger amounts of capital gains which, when distributed to the Fund’s shareholders, are taxable to them.

Temporary Defensive Investments. The Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by investing its assets in cash, cash items, and shorter-term, higher-quality debt securities and similar obligations. It may do this to minimize potential losses and maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market conditions. This may cause the Fund to give up greater investment returns to maintain the safety of principal, that is, the original amount invested by shareholders.

Securities Descriptions

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

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

Corporate Debt Securities. Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities.

The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

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

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

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

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

How to Buy Shares

What Do Shares Cost? You can buy Investor Class shares of the Fund at net asset value (NAV), without a sales charge, on any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for business. When the Fund receives your transaction request in proper form, it is processed at the next determined NAV. Each NAV is calculated for the Fund at the end of regular trading (normally 3:00 p.m. Central Time) each day the NYSE is open. In calculating NAV, the Fund’s portfolio is valued using market prices.

Securities held by the Fund may trade on foreign exchanges on days (such as weekends) when the Fund does not calculate NAV. As a result, the NAV of the Fund’s shares may change on days when you cannot purchase or sell the Fund’s shares.

<R>

In response to and for the duration of any extraordinary circumstances, the Fund reserves the ability to modify when the Fund will open for purchase, exchange and redemption transactions, and when the Fund will calculate NAV.

</R>

To open an account with the Marshall Funds, your first investment must be at least $1,000. However, you can add to your existing Marshall Funds account directly or through the Funds’ Systematic Investment Program for as little as $50. In special circumstances, these minimums may be waived or lowered at the Fund’s discretion. Keep in mind that Authorized Dealers may charge you fees for their services in connection with your share transactions.

How Do I Purchase Shares? You may purchase shares directly from the Fund by completing and mailing the Account Application and sending your payment to the Fund by check or wire.

Once you have opened an account with an Authorized Dealer, you may purchase additional Fund shares by contacting Marshall Funds Investor Services (MFIS) at 1-800-236-FUND (3863).

Trust customers of an M&I Trust Company may purchase shares by contacting their trust account officer.

You may purchase shares through a broker-dealer, investment professional, or financial institution (Authorized Dealers). Some Authorized Dealers may charge a transaction fee for this service. If you purchase shares of the Fund through a program of services offered or administered by an Authorized Dealer or other service provider, you should read the program materials, including information relating to fees, in conjunction with the Fund’s prospectus. Certain features of the Fund may not be available or may be modified in connection with the program of services provided.

Your purchase order must be received by the Fund by 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) to get that day’s NAV. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. It is the responsibility of MFIS, any Authorized Dealer or other service provider that has entered into an agreement with the Fund, its distributor, or administrative or shareholder services agent, to promptly submit purchase orders to the Fund. Orders placed through one of these entities are considered received when the Fund is notified of the purchase or redemption order. However, you are not the owner of Fund shares (and therefore will not receive dividends) until payment for the shares is received.

In order to purchase shares, you must reside in a jurisdiction where Fund shares may lawfully be offered for sale. In addition, you must have a Social Security or tax identification number.

Marshall Funds OnLineSM

  • You may redeem Fund shares via the Internet through Marshall Funds OnLineSM at www.marshallfunds.com. See “Fund Transactions Through Marshall Funds OnLineSM” in the Account and Share Information section.

Signature Guarantees. In the following instances, you must have a signature guarantee on written redemption requests:

  • when you want a redemption to be sent to an address other than the one you have on record with the Fund;
  • when you want the redemption payable to someone other than the shareholder of record; or
  • when your redemption is to be sent to an address of record that was changed within the last 30 days.
  • Your signature can be guaranteed by any federally insured financial institution (such as a bank or credit union) or a broker/dealer that is a domestic stock exchange member, but not by a notary public.

Limitations on Redemption Proceeds. Redemption proceeds normally are wired or mailed within one business day after receiving a request in proper form.

However, payment may be delayed up to seven days:

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

You will not accrue interest or dividends on uncashed checks from the Fund. If those checks are undeliverable and returned to the Fund, the proceeds will be reinvested in shares of the Fund.

Corporate Resolutions. Corporations, trusts and institutional organizations are required to furnish evidence of the authority of persons designated on the account application to effect transactions on behalf of the organization.

<R>

Exchange Privilege. You may exchange Investor Class shares of the Fund for Investor Class shares of any of the other Marshall Funds free of charge, provided you meet the investment minimum of the Fund. An exchange is treated as a redemption and a subsequent purchase, and is therefore a taxable transaction. Signatures must be guaranteed if you request and exchange into another fund with a different shareholder registration. The exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time.

</R>

Exchanges by Telephone. If you have completed the telephone authorization section in your account application or an authorization form obtained through MFIS, you may telephone instructions to MFIS to exchange between Fund accounts that have identical shareholder registrations. Customers of broker-dealers, financial institutions or service providers should contact their account representative.

Telephone exchange instructions must be received before 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) for shares to be exchanged the same day. However, you will not receive a dividend of the Fund into which you exchange on the date of the exchange.

The Fund and its service providers will record your telephone instructions. The Fund will not be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions as long as reasonable security procedures are followed. You will be notified of changes to telephone transaction privileges.

<R>

Frequent Traders. The Fund’s management or Adviser may determine from the amount, frequency and pattern of exchanges that a shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is detrimental to the Fund and its other shareholders. If this occurs, the Fund may terminate a shareholder’s purchase and/or exchange privileges. A subsequent redemption, if less than 90 days after purchase may be subject to a 2% short term redemption fee. See “Will I Be Charged a Fee for Redemptions?”

</R>

Account and Share Information

Confirmations and Account Statements. You will receive confirmation of purchases and redemptions. In addition, you will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including dividends and capital gains paid.

Dividends and Capital Gains. The Fund declares and pays any dividends annually to shareholders. Dividends are paid to all shareholders invested in the Fund on the record date. The record date is the date on which a shareholder must officially own shares in order to earn a dividend.

In addition, the Fund pays any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares, unless you elect cash payments. If you elect cash payments and the payment is returned as undeliverable, your cash payment will be reinvested in Fund shares and your distribution option will convert to automatic reinvestment. If any distribution check remains uncashed for six months, the check amount will be reinvested in shares and you will not accrue any interest or dividends on this amount prior to the reinvestment.

If you purchase shares just before a Fund declares a dividend or capital gain distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution, whether or not you reinvest the distribution in shares. Therefore, you should consider the tax implications of purchasing shares shortly before the Fund declares a dividend or capital gain.

Multiple Classes. The Marshall Funds have adopted a plan that permits the Fund to offer more than one class of shares. All shares of the Fund or class have equal voting rights and will generally vote in the aggregate and not by class. There may be circumstances, however, when shareholders of a particular Marshall Fund or class are entitled to vote on matters affecting that Fund or class. Share classes may have different sales charges and other expenses, which will affect performance.

Tax Information

Federal Income Tax. The Fund sends an annual statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund.

Dividends are taxable as ordinary income; capital gains are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time the Fund holds its assets.

Fund distributions are expected to be primarily capital gains. Redemptions are taxable sales. Please consult your tax adviser regarding your federal, state, and local tax liability.

Supplemental Performance Information of the Sub-Adviser to the Marshall International Stock Fund

BPI Global Asset Management LLP (BPI) has served as sub-adviser for the Marshall International Stock Fund (“the Fund”) since March 29, 1999. Since the Fund’s inception on September 2, 1994 through March 29, 1999, the Fund was sub-advised by another firm. Daniel R. Jaworski, BPI’s Managing Director, currently serves as the portfolio manager for the Fund. Supplemental information is presented below to summarize BPI’s and Mr. Jaworski’s historical performance results for various entities other than the Marshall International Stock Fund. Historical performance of these other accounts is not a substitute for and is not indicative of future results of the Fund.

<R>

Mr. Jaworski was employed at STI Capital Management and managed the SunTrust Commingled Fund (a commingled investment fund with similar investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks to the Marshall International Stock Fund) for the period from February 1, 1995 to November 30, 1995. The following table summarizes the returns of the SunTrust Commingled Fund for the entire period during which Mr. Jaworski managed the fund, as compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI-EAFE).

4Q1995 (2)   4.57   4.20   4.05  

 
 
 
 

The commingled fund was not a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and therefore was not subject to certain diversification and investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the commingled fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely affected.

Not a full quarter — excludes performance from 12/1/1995 to 12/31/1995.

Mr. Jaworski was subsequently promoted to Director of International Portfolio Management & Research and Senior Portfolio Manager for the STI Classic International Equity Fund (a mutual fund with investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund) from December 1, 1995 to March 31, 1997. The following table summarizes the returns of the STI Classic International Equity Fund for the entire period during which Mr. Jaworski managed the fund, as compared to the MSCI-EAFE Index:

    Gross   Net   MSCI-EAFE

The commingled fund was not a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and therefore was not subject to certain diversification and investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the commingled fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely affected.

Mr. Jaworski left STI Capital Management, along with several other investment team members, to create BPI and serve as its Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer. The following table sets forth BPI’s composite performance information relating to the performance of institutional private accounts managed by BPI, during the periods indicated, that have investment objectives, policies, strategies, and risks substantially similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund. The performance information is provided to illustrate BPI’s historical performance in managing similar accounts as measured against the MSCI-EAFE Index.

</R>

The following accounts managed by BPI and Mr. Jaworski are not included in the composite performance for the reasons noted: (1) three Canadian international mutual funds, where “international” as defined by a Canadian investor includes an allocation to the U.S. and no allocation to Canada; (2) two U.S. International Funds that use multiple subadvisers, one of which is BPI; and (3) several private accounts with various investment restrictions.

(1) Not a full year — excludes performance from 1/1/1997 to 3/31/1997.

BPI represents that the composite performance information shown above has been calculated in accordance with recommended standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (“AIMR”). AIMR is a non-profit membership and education organization with more than 60,000 members worldwide that, among other things, has formulated a set of performance presentation standards for investment advisers (such as BPI). These AIMR performance presentation standards are intended to (1) promote full and fair presentations by investment advisers of their performance results, and (2) ensure uniformity in reporting so that performance results of investment advisers are directly comparable.

<R>

The returns in each of the above tables are calculated on a total return basis and include all dividends and interest, accrued income and all realized and unrealized gains and losses. The “Net of Fees” figures reflect the deduction of advisory and other fees paid by the accounts — “Gross of Fees” does not include these fees, but does include certain trading costs and embedded fees (e.g., “wrap fees”) that cannot be unbundled and have been deducted. The investment results of BPI have been audited up to June 30, 2001. Information from that date to September 30, 2001 has not been verified by the Marshall Funds or Federated Securities Corp. and is unaudited.

</R>

The BPI performance composite includes all actual, fee-paying, discretionary institutional accounts managed by BPI that have investment objectives, policies, strategies, and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund. Mr. Jaworski is the portfolio manager of each account included in the composite. However, the Sun Trust Commingled Fund and BPI institutional accounts included in BPI’s composite differ from the Marshall International Stock Fund, in that they are not subject to:

  • the same types of expenses as the Marshall International Stock Fund;
  • the investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940; and
  • the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

As a result, the performance results for the SunTrust Commingled Fund and BPI institutional accounts could have been adversely affected if they had been regulated as investment companies under the restrictions outlined above. In addition, the performance figures are for a short period of time and should not be indicative of long-term results.

Although the STI Classic International Equity Fund has objectives, policies, strategies, and risks similar to those of the Marshall International Stock Fund, it is a separate fund and its performance is not indicative of the potential performance of the Marshall International Stock Fund.

The MSCI-EAFE Index is a capitalization-weighted foreign securities index, which is widely used to measure the performance of European, Australian, New Zealand, and Far Eastern stock markets. The MSCI-EAFE is unmanaged. Investments may not be made in an index. The Fund’s Statement of Additional Information contains further information on calculation of average annual total returns.

Financial Highlights—Investor Class of Shares

<R>

The Financial Highlights will help you understand the Fund’s financial performance for its past five fiscal years. Some of the information is presented on a per share basis. Total returns represent the rate an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a Fund, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains.

The following table has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund’s independent auditors for the fiscal years ended August 31, 1999 through August 31, 2001. Their report dated October 16, 2001 is included in the Annual Report for the Fund, which is incorporated by reference. Each of the previous two years were audited by other auditors. This table should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements and notes thereto, which may be obtained free of charge from the Fund.

Risk/Return Profile

Marshall Money Market Fund

Goal: To provide current income consistent with stability of principal.

Strategy: Fund assets are invested in high quality, short-term money market instruments. In order to produce income which minimizes volatility, the Adviser uses a “bottom-up” approach, which evaluates debt securities of individual companies against the context of broader market factors such as the cyclical trend in interest rates, the shape of the yield curve and debt security supply factors.

Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund is subject to credit risks, interest rate risks, call risks, and liquidity risks.

<R>

As with all mutual funds, past performance is no guarantee of future results. The table, bar chart and total return information are for the Investor Class of Shares of the Fund which are not offered in this prospectus, are not sold subject to a sales charge (load), and have returns based on net asset value. The returns for Institutional Class of Shares are not presented because they do not have a full calendar year of performance history. The inception date of the Institutional Class of Shares is April 3, 2000. Returns would be substantially similar because the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the returns would differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.

(1) Although not contractually obligated to do so, the Adviser waived certain amounts. The net expenses the Fund actually paid for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 are shown below.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after waivers) 0.21%  

(2) The Adviser voluntarily waived a portion of the management fee. The Adviser may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time. The management fee paid by the Fund’s Institutional Class of Shares (after the voluntary waiver) was 0.10% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001.

The purpose of this table is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that a shareholder of the Fund will bear either directly or indirectly. Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, an affiliate of the Adviser, receives custodial and administrative fees for the services it provides to shareholders. For more complete descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see “Marshall Funds, Inc. Information.” Wire-transferred redemptions may be subject to an additional fee.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Institutional Class of Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Institutional Class of Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Institutional Class of Shares operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year $ 27  
3 Years $ 84  
5 Years $ 146  
10 Years $ 331  



 

The above example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater than those shown.

The Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

<R></R>

As with all money market funds, the Fund is subject to certain risks, which are described below.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Call Risks. Some of the securities in which the Fund invests may be redeemed by the issuer before maturity (or “called”). This will most likely happen when interest rates are declining. If this occurs, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities that pay a lower interest rate, which may decrease the Fund’s yield.

Liquidity risk also refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security or close out an investment contract when it wants to. If this happens, the Fund will be required to continue to hold the security or keep the position open, and the Fund could incur losses.

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

These features may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time. Consequently, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Fund’s performance. Infrequent trading of securities may also lead to an increase in their price volatility.

Liquidity risk also refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security or close out an investment contract when it wants to. If this happens, the Fund will be required to continue to hold the security or keep the position open, and the Fund could incur losses.

Securities Descriptions

Following is a description of the main securities in which the Fund invests.

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

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

Corporate Debt Securities. Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

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

Insurance Contracts. Insurance contracts include guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements and annuities. Funding Agreements (Agreements) are investment instruments issued by U.S. insurance companies. Pursuant to such Agreements, the Fund may make cash contributions to a deposit fund of the insurance company’s general or separate accounts. The insurance company then credits guaranteed interest to the Fund. The insurance company may assess periodic charges against an Agreement for expense and service costs allocable to it, and the charges will be deducted from the value of the deposit fund. The purchase price paid for an Agreement becomes part of the general assets of the issuer, and the Agreement is paid from the general assets of the issuer. The Fund will only purchase Agreements from issuers that meet quality and credit standards established by the Adviser. Generally, Agreements are not assignable or transferable without the permission of the issuing insurance companies, and an active secondary market in Agreements does not currently exist. Also, the Fund may not have the right to receive the principal amount of an Agreement from the insurance company on seven days’ notice or less. Therefore, Agreements are typically considered to be illiquid investments.

Mortgage Backed Securities. Mortgage backed securities represent interests in pools of mortgages. The mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates, maturities and other terms. Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest rates. Interests in pools of adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs. Mortgage backed securities come in a variety of forms. Many have extremely complicated terms. The simplest form of mortgage backed securities are pass-through certificates. An issuer of pass-through certificates gathers monthly payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. Then, the issuer deducts its fees and expenses and passes the balance of the payments onto the certificate holders once a month. Holders of pass-through certificates receive a pro rata share of all payments and prepayments from the underlying mortgages. As a result, the holders assume all the prepayment risks of the underlying mortgages.

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

Agency Securities. Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government sponsored entity acting under federal authority (a GSE). The United States supports some GSEs with its full faith and credit. Other GSEs receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few GSEs have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Agency securities are generally regarded as having low credit risks, but not as low as Treasury securities.

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

How to Buy Shares

Who May Purchase Institutional Class? Institutional Class of Shares are for institutional investors that invest on their own behalf. To open an account with the Fund, the first investment must be at least $10 million. The minimum investment amount to add to your existing account is $100,000. An account may be opened with a smaller amount as long as the minimum is reached within 90 days. In special circumstances, these minimums may be waived or lowered at the Fund’s discretion.

<R>

What Do Shares Cost? You can buy Institutional Class of Shares of the Fund at net asset value (NAV), without a sales charge, on any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for business. When the Fund receives your transaction request in proper form, it is processed at the next determined NAV. The NAV for the Fund is determined twice daily at 12:00 Noon (Central Time) and 3:00 p.m. (Central Time). In calculating NAV, the Fund’s portfolio is valued using amortized cost.

In response to and for the duration of any extraordinary circumstances, the Fund reserves the ability to modify when the Fund will open for purchase, exchange and redemption transactions, and when the Fund will calculate NAV.

</R>

How Do I Purchase Shares? You may purchase shares directly from the Fund by completing and mailing the Account Application and sending your payment to the Fund by check or wire.

Your purchase order must be received by the Fund by 2:00 p.m. (Central Time) to receive dividends on that day. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. However, you are not the owner of Fund shares (and therefore will not receive dividends) until payment for the shares is received.

In order to purchase shares, you must reside in a jurisdiction where Fund shares may lawfully be offered for sale. In addition, you must have a federal tax identification number.

Dividends and Capital Gains. Dividends of the Fund are declared daily and paid monthly. You will receive dividends declared subsequent to the issuance of your Shares, through the day your Shares are redeemed.

The Fund does not expect to realize any capital gains or losses. If capital gains or losses were to occur, they could result in an increase or decrease in dividends. The Fund pays any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares without a sales charge, unless you elect cash payments.

Multiple Classes. The Marshall Funds have adopted a plan that permits the Fund to offer more than one class of shares. All shares of the Fund or class have equal voting rights and will generally vote in the aggregate and not by class. There may be circumstances, however, when shareholders of a particular Marshall Fund or class are entitled to vote on matters affecting that Fund or class. Share classes may have different sales charges and other expenses, which will affect performance.

Tax Information

The Fund sends an annual statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund. Dividends are taxable as ordinary income; capital gains are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time the Fund holds its assets.

Fund distributions are expected to be primarily dividends. Redemptions are taxable sales. Please consult your tax adviser regarding your federal, state, and local tax liability.

HOW ARE THE FUNDS ORGANIZED?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marshall Funds, Inc. (Corporation) is an open-end, management investment company
that was established as a Wisconsin corporation on July 31, 1992.

The Funds are diversified portfolios of the Corporation. The Corporation may offer
separate series of shares representing interests in separate portfolios of
securities, and the shares in any one portfolio may be offered in separate classes.
This Statement contains additional information about the Corporation and its ten
investment portfolios. This Statement uses the same terms as defined in the
Prospectus.
The definitions of the terms series and class in the Wisconsin Business Corporation
Law, Chapter 180 of the Wisconsin Statutes (WBCL) differ from the meanings assigned
to those terms in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information. The
Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation reconcile this inconsistency in
terminology, and provide that the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information may define these terms consistently with the use of those terms under
the WBCL and the Internal Revenue Code.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUNDS INVEST
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under normal market conditions, the International Stock Fund will invest at least
65% of its assets in equity securities of companies located in at least three
different countries outside the United States.  Following is a table that indicates
which types of securities are a(n):
o     P = Principal investment of a Fund; (shaded in chart)
o     A = Acceptable (but not principal) investment of a Fund; or
o     N = Not an acceptable investment of a Fund.

1. All Funds may invest up to 20% of their respective assets, however, the
International Stock Fund has no limit.
2. The Equity Funds and Income Funds may invest in Asset-Backed Securities rated,
at the time of purchase, in the top four rating categories by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) (securities rated AAA, AA, A or
BBB by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Fitch IBCA, Inc. (Fitch) and Aaa, Aa, A or Baa
by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's)), or if unrated, determined by the Adviser
to be of comparable quality. The Money Market Fund will invest in only the
short-term tranches, which will generally have a maturity not exceeding 397 days.
Only the Income Funds expect that they might exceed 5% of their respective net
assets in these securities.
3. The Equity Funds and Money Market Fund may purchase foreign Bank Instruments.
The Equity Funds (except International Stock Fund) are limited to 5% of total
assets.  The Income Funds may invest in foreign Bank Instruments, although they do
not presently intend to do so.

4. The International Stock Fund may borrow money to purchase securities, a strategy
that involves purchasing securities in amounts that exceed the amount it has
invested in the underlying securities.  The excess exposure increases the risks
associated with the underlying securities and tends to exaggerate the effect of
changes in the value of its portfolio securities and consequently on the Fund's net
asset value. The Fund may pledge more than 5% of its total assets to secure such
borrowings.
5. Must be issued by U.S. corporations and rated in the top four categories by an
NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
6. The Equity Funds, except International Stock Fund may only invest up to 5% of
their respective net assets in foreign securities other than American Depositary
Receipts.
7. All Funds may invest up to 15% of their respective assets in illiquid securities
except for the Money Market Fund which is limited to 10%.
8. The Small-Cap Growth Fund may purchase commercial paper rated investment grade
by an NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
The other Funds may purchase commercial paper rated in the two highest rating
categories by an NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of
comparable quality.
9. During the period any reverse repurchase agreements are outstanding, but only to
the extent necessary to assure completion of the reverse repurchase agreements, the
Money Market Fund will restrict the purchase of portfolio instruments to money
market instruments maturing on or before the expiration date of the reverse
repurchase agreement.

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS, TECHNIQUES AND RISKS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As used in this section, the term Adviser means Adviser or Sub-Adviser, as
applicable.
Agency Securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government
sponsored entity acting under federal authority.  Some government entities are
supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. Other government
entities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few
government entities have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having
implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Investors
regard agency securities as having low credit risks, but not as low as Treasury
securities.
A Fund treats mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by a government sponsored
entity as if issued or guaranteed by a federal agency. Although such a guarantee
protects against credit risks, it does not reduce the market and prepayment risks.
Asset-Backed Securities are issued by non-governmental entities and carry no direct
or indirect government guarantee. Asset-Backed Securities represent an interest in
a pool of assets such as car loans and credit card receivables. Almost any type of
fixed income assets (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create
an asset backed security. However, most asset-backed securities involve consumer or
commercial debts with maturities of less than ten years. Asset-backed securities
may take the form of commercial paper or notes, in addition to pass through
certificates or asset-backed bonds. Asset backed securities may also resemble some
types of CMOs.
Payments on asset-backed securities depend upon assets held by the issuer and
collections of the underlying loans. The value of these securities depends on many
factors, including changing interest rates, the availability of information about
the pool and its structure, the credit quality of the underlying assets, the
market's perception of the servicer of the pool, and any credit enhancement
provided. Also, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.
Bank Instruments. Bank Instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with
banks. Bank Instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of
deposit and banker's acceptances. Instruments denominated in U.S. dollars and
issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks are commonly referred to as
Eurodollar instruments. Instruments denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S.
branches of foreign banks are referred to as Yankee dollar instruments.

The Funds will invest in bank instruments that have been issued by banks and
savings and loans that have capital, surplus and undivided profits of over $100
million or whose principal amount is insured by the Bank Insurance Fund or the
Savings Association Insurance Fund, which are administered by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Securities that are credit-enhanced with a bank's
irrevocable letter of credit or unconditional guaranty will also be treated as Bank
Instruments.

Borrowing. The Funds may borrow money from banks or through reverse repurchase
agreements in amounts up to one-third of total assets (net assets for the Money
Market Fund and Intermediate Bond Fund), and pledge some assets as collateral.  A
Fund that borrows will pay interest on borrowed money and may incur other
transaction costs.  These expenses could exceed the income received or capital
appreciation realized by a Fund from any securities purchased with borrowed money.
With respect to borrowings, the Funds are required to maintain continuous asset
coverage equal to 300% of the amount borrowed.  If the coverage declines to less
than 300%, a Fund must sell sufficient portfolio securities to restore the coverage
even if it must sell the securities at a loss.

Corporate Debt Securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes,
bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most common types of corporate debt
securities. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

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

To compensate for the value of the conversion option, convertible securities have
lower yields than comparable fixed income securities. In addition, the conversion
price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities at the time a
convertible security is issued. Thus, convertible securities may provide lower
returns than non-convertible fixed income securities or equity securities depending
upon changes in the price of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible
securities permit a Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the
underlying equity securities with less risk of losing its initial investment.

A Fund treats convertible securities as both fixed income and equity securities for
purposes of its investment policies and limitations, because of their unique
characteristics.

Credit Enhancement. Certain acceptable investments may be credit-enhanced by a
guaranty, letter of credit, or insurance.  The Adviser may evaluate a security
based, in whole or in part, upon the financial condition of the party providing the
credit enhancement (the credit enhancer).  The bankruptcy, receivership or default
of the credit enhancer will adversely affect the quality and marketability of the
underlying security.

For diversification purposes, credit-enhanced securities will not be treated as
having been issued by the credit enhancer, unless a Fund has invested more than 10%
of its assets in securities issued, guaranteed or otherwise credit-enhanced by the
credit enhancer.  In such cases, the securities will be treated as having been
issued both by the issuer and the credit enhancer.

Credit Quality.  The fixed income securities in which a Fund invests will be rated
at least investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical ratings
organization (NRSRO). Investment grade securities have received one of an NRSRO's
four highest ratings.  Securities receiving the fourth highest rating (Baa by
Moody's or BBB by S&P or Fitch) have speculative characteristics and changes in the
market or the economy are more likely to affect the ability of the issuer to repay
its obligations when due.  The Adviser will evaluate downgraded securities and will
sell any security determined not to be an acceptable investment.  The Money Market
Fund is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and will
follow the credit quality requirements of the Rule.

Commercial Paper and Restricted and Illiquid Securities. Commercial paper is an
issuer's draft or note with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies
typically issue commercial paper to fund current expenditures. Most issuers
constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to
repay maturing paper. Commercial paper may default if the issuer cannot continue to
obtain financing in this fashion. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces
both the market and credit risk as compared to other debt securities of the same
issuer.
The Funds may invest in commercial paper issued under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933.  By law, the sale of Section 4(2) commercial paper is
restricted and is generally sold only to institutional investors, such as a Fund.
A Fund purchasing Section 4(2) commercial paper must agree to purchase the paper
for investment purposes only and not with a view to public distribution.  Section
4(2) commercial paper is normally resold to other institutional investors through
investment dealers who make a market in Section 4(2) commercial paper, thus
providing liquidity.
The Funds believe that Section 4(2) commercial paper and certain other restricted
securities which meet the Directors' criteria for liquidity are quite liquid.
Section 4(2) commercial paper and restricted securities which are deemed liquid,
will not be subject to the investment limitation.  In addition, because Section
4(2) commercial paper is liquid, the Funds intend to not subject such paper to the
limitation applicable to restricted securities.
Demand Features. The Funds may purchase securities subject to a demand feature,
which may take the form of a put or standby commitment.  Demand features permit a
Fund to demand payment of the value of the security (plus an accrued interest) from
either the issuer of the security or a third-party.  Demand features help make a
security more liquid, although an adverse change in the financial health of the
provider of a demand feature (such as bankruptcy), will negatively affect the
liquidity of the security.  Other events may also terminate a demand feature, in
which case liquidity is also affected.

Demand Master Notes. Demand master notes are short-term borrowing arrangements
between a corporation or government agency and an institutional lender (such as a
Fund) payable upon demand by either party. A party may demand full or partial
payment and the notice period for demand typically ranges from one to seven days.
Many master notes give a Fund the option of increasing or decreasing the principal
amount of the master note on a daily or weekly basis within certain limits. Demand
master notes usually provide for floating or variable rates of interest.

Depositary Receipts. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are receipts, issued by a
U.S. bank, that represent an interest in shares of a foreign-based corporation.
ADRs provide a way to buy shares of foreign-based companies in the U.S. rather than
in overseas markets.  European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary
Receipts (GDRs) are receipts, issued by foreign banks or trust companies, or
foreign branches of U.S. banks, that represent an interest in shares of either a
foreign or U.S. corporation.  Depositary Receipts may not be denominated in the
same currency as the underlying securities into which they may be converted, and
are subject to currency risks.  Depositary Receipts involve many of the same risks
of investing directly in foreign securities.

Derivative  Contracts.  Derivative  contracts are financial  instruments that require
payments based upon changes in the values of designated (or  underlying)  securities,
currencies,   commodities,   financial  indices  or  other  assets.  Some  derivative
contracts  (such as futures,  forwards and options)  require  payments  relating to a
future trade  involving the underlying  asset.  Other  derivative  contracts (such as
swaps)  require  payments  relating  to the  income or  returns  from the  underlying
asset.  The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.
Many  derivative  contracts  are traded on securities or  commodities  exchanges.  In
this case,  the  exchange  sets all the terms of the  contract  except for the price.
Investors  make  payments  due under  their  contracts  through  the  exchange.  Most
exchanges  require  investors to maintain  margin  accounts  through their brokers to
cover their  potential  obligations  to the  exchange.  Parties to the contract  make
(or collect)  daily  payments to the margin  accounts to reflect losses (or gains) in
the value of their contracts.  This protects  investors  against  potential  defaults
by the counterparty.
Trading  contracts on an exchange also allows  investors to close out their contracts
by entering into offsetting  contracts.  For example,  a Fund could close out an open
contract  to buy an asset at a future date by entering  into an  offsetting  contract
to sell the same asset on the same date.  If the  offsetting  sale price is more than
the original  purchase  price, a Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, a Fund realizes
a loss.  Exchanges  may  limit  the  amount of open  contracts  permitted  at any one
time.  Such  limits  may  prevent  a  Fund  from  closing  out a  position.  If  this
happens,  a Fund will be  required  to keep the  contract  open (even if it is losing
money on the  contract),  and to make any payments  required under the contract (even
if it has to sell  portfolio  securities at unfavorable  prices to do so).  Inability
to close out a contract  could also harm a Fund by  preventing  it from  disposing of
or  trading  any  assets  it has been  using to  secure  its  obligations  under  the
contract.
A Fund may also trade  derivative  contracts  over-the-counter  (OTC) in transactions
negotiated  directly  between  a Fund  and the  counterparty.  OTC  contracts  do not
necessarily  have standard  terms,  so they cannot be directly  offset with other OTC
contracts.  In  addition,  OTC  contracts  with  more  specialized  terms may be more
difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.
Depending upon how a Fund uses  derivative  contracts and the  relationships  between
the market  value of a  derivative  contract  and the  underlying  asset,  derivative
contracts  may increase or decrease a Fund's  exposure to market and currency  risks,
and may also expose a Fund to  liquidity  and  leverage  risks.  OTC  contracts  also
expose a Fund to  credit  risks in the  event  that a  counterparty  defaults  on the
contract.
Dollar Rolls are transactions  where a Fund sells  mortgage-backed  securities with a
commitment  to buy  similar,  but  not  identical,  mortgage-backed  securities  on a
future date at a lower price.  Normally,  one or both  securities  involved are to be
announced  mortgage-backed  securities.  Dollar  rolls are subject to  interest  rate
risks and credit risks. These transactions may create leverage risks.
Duration.  Duration is a measure of volatility in the price of a bond prior to
maturity.  Volatility is the magnitude of the change in the price of a bond
relative to a change in the market interest rate.  Volatility is based upon a
bond's coupon rate; maturity date; and the level of market yields of similar bonds.
Generally, bonds with lower coupons or longer maturities will be more volatile than
bonds with higher coupons or shorter maturities.  Duration combines these variables
into a single measure.
Equity  Securities  are  the  fundamental  unit  of  ownership  in  a  company.  They
represent a share of the  issuer's  earnings  and  assets,  after the issuer pays its
liabilities.  Generally,  issuers have  discretion as to the payment of any dividends
or  distributions.  As a  result,  investors  cannot  predict  the  income  they will
receive from equity  securities.  However,  equity securities offer greater potential
for appreciation  than many other types of securities,  because their value increases
directly with the value of the issuer's business.  The following  describes the types
of equity securities in which the Equity Funds invest.
   Common  Stocks  are  the  most   prevalent   type  of  equity   security.   Common
   stockholders  are  entitled to the net value of the  issuer's  earnings and assets
   after the issuer pays its creditors and any preferred  stockholders.  As a result,
   changes in an issuer's earnings directly influence the value of its common stock.
   Preferred  Stocks have the right to receive  specified  dividends or distributions
   before the payment of dividends or distributions  on common stock.  Some preferred
   stocks also  participate  in dividends  and  distributions  paid on common  stock.
   Preferred  stocks may  provide  for the issuer to redeem the stock on a  specified
   date. A Fund  holding  redeemable  preferred  stock may treat it as a fixed income
   security.
   Warrants  provide an option to buy the issuer's  stock or other equity  securities
   at a specified  price. A Fund holding a warrant may buy the  designated  shares by
   paying  the  exercise  price  before  the  warrant  expires.  Warrants  may become
   worthless  if the price of the stock  does not rise  above the  exercise  price by
   the stated  expiration  date.  Rights are the same as  warrants,  except  they are
   typically issued to existing stockholders.
Fixed Income Securities. Fixed income securities generally pay interest at either a
fixed or floating rate and provide more regular income than equity securities.
However, the returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not
increase with the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of
fixed income securities as compared to equity securities. Fixed rate securities and
floating rate securities react differently as prevailing interest rates change.

     Fixed Rate Debt Securities.  Debt securities that pay a fixed interest rate
     over the life of the security and have a long-term maturity may have many
     characteristics of short-term debt.  For example, the market may treat fixed
     rate/long-term securities as short-term debt when a security's market price is
     close to the call or redemption price, or if the security is approaching its
     maturity date when the issuer is more likely to call or redeem the debt.

     As interest rates change, the market prices of fixed rate debt securities are
     generally more volatile than the prices of floating rate debt securities.  As
     interest rates rise, the prices of fixed rate debt securities fall, and as
     interest rates fall, the prices of fixed rate debt securities rise.  For
     example, a bond that pays a fixed interest rate of 10% is more valuable to
     investors when prevailing interest rates are lower; therefore, this value is
     reflected in higher price, or a premium.  Conversely, if interest rates are
     over 10%, the bond is less attractive to investors, and sells at a lower price,
     or a discount.

     Floating Rate Debt Securities.  The interest rate paid on floating rate debt
     securities is reset periodically (e.g., every 90 days) to a predetermined index
     rate.  Commonly used indices include:  90-day or 180-day Treasury bill rate;
     one month or three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR); commercial
     paper rates; or the prime rate of interest of a bank.  The prices of floating
     rate debt securities are not as sensitive to changes in interest rates as fixed
     rate debt securities because they behave like shorter-term securities and their
     interest rate is reset periodically.

Foreign Currency Transactions. Foreign currency transactions are generally used to
obtain foreign currencies to settle securities transactions.  They can also be used
as a hedge to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange
rates or regulations.  When a Fund uses foreign currency exchanges as a hedge, it
may also limit potential gain that could result from an increase in the value of
such currencies.  A Fund may be affected either favorably or unfavorably by
fluctuations in the relative rates of exchange between the currencies of different
nations.

     Foreign Currency Hedging Transactions. Foreign currency hedging transactions
     are used to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks.  These
     transactions include:  forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign
     currency futures contracts, and purchasing put or call options on foreign
     currencies.
     Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts (Forward Contracts) are used to
     minimize the risks associated with changes in the relationship between the U.S.
     dollar and foreign currencies.  They are used to lock in the U.S. dollar price
     of a foreign security.  A Forward Contract is a commitment to purchase or sell
     a specific currency for an agreed price at a future date.
     If the Adviser believes a foreign currency will decline against the U.S.
     dollar, a Forward Contract may be used to sell an amount of the foreign
     currency approximating the value of a Fund's security that is denominated in
     the foreign currency. The success of this hedging strategy is highly uncertain
     due to the difficulties of predicting the values of foreign currencies, of
     precisely matching Forward Contract amounts, and because the constantly
     changing value of the securities involved. The Fund will not enter into Forward
     Contracts for hedging purposes in a particular currency in an amount in excess
     of the Fund's assets denominated in that currency.  Conversely, if the Adviser
     believes that the U.S. dollar will decline against a foreign currency, a
     Forward Contract may be used to buy that foreign currency for a fixed dollar
     amount, otherwise known as cross-hedging.
     In these transactions, the Fund will segregate assets with a market value equal
     to the amount of the foreign currency purchased.  Therefore, the Fund will
     always have cash, cash equivalents or high quality debt securities available to
     cover Forward Contracts or to limit any potential risk.  The segregated assets
     will be priced daily.
     Forward Contracts may limit potential gain from a positive change in the
     relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies.  Unanticipated
     changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for a Fund
     than if it had not engaged in such contracts.
     Purchasing and Writing Put and Call Options on foreign currencies are used to
     protect the Fund's portfolio against declines in the U.S. dollar value of
     foreign portfolio securities and against increases in the dollar cost of
     foreign securities to be acquired.  Writing an option on foreign currency
     constitutes only a partial hedge, up to the amount of the premium received.
     The Fund could lose money if it is required to purchase or sell foreign
     currencies at disadvantageous exchange rates.  If exchange rate movements are
     adverse to the Fund's position, the Fund may forfeit the entire amount of the
     premium plus related transaction costs.  These options are traded on U.S. and
     foreign exchanges or over-the-counter.
     Exchange-Traded Futures Contracts are used for the purchase or sale of foreign
     currencies (Foreign Currency Futures) and will be used to hedge against
     anticipated changes in exchange rates that might adversely affect the value of
     a Fund's portfolio securities or the prices of securities that a Fund intends
     to purchase in the future. The successful use of Foreign Currency Futures
     depends on the ability to forecast currency exchange rate movements correctly.
     Should exchange rates move in an unexpected manner, a Fund may not achieve the
     anticipated benefits of Foreign Currency Futures or may realize losses.
Foreign Money Market Instruments.  Eurodollar Certificates of Deposit (ECDs),
Yankee dollar Certificates of Deposit (YCDs) and Eurodollar Time Deposits (ETDs)
are all U.S. dollar denominated certificates of deposit.  ECDs are issued by, and
ETDs are deposits of, foreign banks or foreign branches of U.S. banks.  YCDs are
issued in the U.S. by branches and agencies of foreign banks. Europaper is
dollar-denominated commercial paper and other short-term notes issued in the U.S.
by foreign issuers.

ECDs, ETDs, YCDs, and Europaper have many of the same risks as other foreign
securities.  Examples of these risks include economic and political developments,
that may adversely affect the payment of principal or interest, foreign withholding
or other taxes on interest income, difficulties in obtaining or enforcing a
judgment against the issuing bank and the possible impact of interruptions in the
flow of international currency transactions.  Also, the issuing banks or their
branches are not necessarily subject to the same regulatory requirements that apply
to domestic banks, such as reserve requirements, loan limitations, examinations,
accounting, auditing, recordkeeping and the public availability of information.
These factors will be carefully considered by the Adviser in selecting these
investments.

Funding Agreements (Agreements), are investment instruments issued by U.S.
insurance companies. Pursuant to such Agreements, a Fund may make cash
contributions to a deposit fund of the insurance company's general or separate
accounts. The insurance company then credits guaranteed interest to a Fund. The
insurance company may assess periodic charges against an Agreement for expense and
service costs allocable to it, and the charges will be deducted from the value of
the deposit fund. The purchase price paid for an Agreement becomes part of the
general assets of the issuer, and the Agreement is paid from the general assets of
the issuer. The Money Market Fund will only purchase Agreements from issuers that
meet quality and credit standards established by the Adviser. Generally, Agreements
are not assignable or transferable without the permission of the issuing insurance
companies, and an active secondary market in Agreements does not currently exist.
Also, the Money Market Fund may not have the right to receive the principal amount
of an Agreement from the insurance company on seven days' notice or less.
Therefore, Agreements are typically considered to be illiquid investments.
Futures and Options Transactions.  As a means of reducing fluctuations in its net
asset value, a Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and options on futures
contracts, and buy put and call options on portfolio securities and securities
indices to hedge its portfolio. A Fund may also write covered put and call options
on portfolio securities to attempt to increase its current income or to hedge its
portfolio.  There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any
particular futures contract or option at any particular time. A Fund's ability to
establish and close out futures and options positions depends on this secondary
market.
     Futures Contracts.  A futures contract is a commitment by two parties under
     which one party agrees to make delivery of an asset (seller) and another party
     agrees to take delivery of the asset at a certain time in the future.  A
     futures contract may involve a variety of assets including commodities (such as
     oil, wheat, or corn) or a financial asset (such as a security). A Fund may
     purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against anticipated
     changes in the value of its portfolio without necessarily buying or selling the
     securities. Although some financial futures contracts call for making or taking
     delivery of the underlying securities, in most cases these obligations are
     closed out before the settlement date. The closing of a futures contract is
     accomplished by purchasing or selling an identical offsetting futures contract.
     Other financial futures contracts call for cash settlements.
     A Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures contracts to hedge against
     anticipated price changes with respect to any stock index traded on a
     recognized stock exchange or board of trade. A stock index futures contract is
     an agreement in which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount
     of cash equal to the difference between the price of the original contract and
     the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract. No
     physical delivery of the underlying securities in the index is made. Settlement
     is made in cash upon termination of the contract.
     Margin In Futures Transactions. Since a Fund does not pay or receive money upon
     the purchase or sale of a futures contract, it is required to deposit an amount
     of initial margin in cash, U.S. government securities or highly-liquid debt
     securities as a good faith deposit. The margin is returned to a Fund upon
     termination of the contract. Initial margin in futures transactions does not
     involve borrowing to finance the transactions.
     As the value of the underlying futures contract changes daily, a Fund pays or
     receives cash, called variation margin, equal to the daily change in value of
     the futures contract. This process is known as marking to market. Variation
     margin does not represent a borrowing or loan by a Fund.  It may be viewed as
     settlement between the Fund and the broker of the amount one would owe the
     other if the futures contract expired. When a Fund purchases futures contracts,
     an amount of cash and/or cash equivalents, equal to the underlying commodity
     value of the futures contracts (less any related margin deposits), will be
     deposited in a segregated account with a Fund's custodian to collateralize the
     position and insure that the use of futures contracts is unleveraged. A Fund is
     also required to deposit and maintain margin when it writes call options on
     futures contracts.
     A Fund will not enter into a futures contract or purchase an option thereon for
     other than hedging purposes if immediately thereafter the initial margin
     deposits for futures contracts held by it, plus premiums paid by it for open
     options on futures contracts, would exceed 5% of the market value of its net
     assets, after taking into account the unrealized profits and losses on those
     contracts it has entered into.  However, in the case of an option that is
     in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money amount may be excluded
     in computing such 5%.
     Put Options on Financial and Stock Index Futures Contracts.  A Fund may
     purchase listed put options on financial and stock index futures contracts to
     protect portfolio securities against decreases in value. Unlike entering
     directly into a futures contract, which requires the purchaser to buy a
     financial instrument on a set date at a specified price, the purchase of a put
     option on a futures contract entitles (but does not obligate) its purchaser to
     decide on or before a future date whether to assume a short position at the
     specified price.
     Generally, if the hedged portfolio securities decrease in value during the term
     of an option, the related futures contracts will also decrease in value and the
     option will increase in value. In such an event, a Fund will normally close out
     its option by selling an identical option. If the hedge is successful, the
     proceeds received by a Fund upon the sale of the second option will be large
     enough to offset both the premium paid by a Fund for the original option plus
     the decrease in value of the hedged securities.
     Alternatively, a Fund may exercise its put option to close out the position. To
     do so, it would simultaneously enter into a futures contract of the type
     underlying the option (for a price less than the strike price of the option)
     and exercise the option. A Fund would then deliver the futures contract in
     return for payment of the strike price. If a Fund neither closes out nor
     exercises an option, the option will expire on the date provided in the option
     contract, and only the premium paid for the contract will be lost.
     A Fund may also write (sell) listed put options on financial or stock index
     futures contracts to hedge its portfolio against a decrease in market interest
     rates or an increase in stock prices.  A Fund will use these transactions to
     purchase portfolio securities in the future at price levels existing at the
     time it enters into the transaction.  When a Fund sells a put on a futures
     contract, it receives a cash premium in exchange for granting to the buyer of
     the put the right to receive from a Fund, at the strike price, a short position
     in such futures contract. This is so even though the strike price upon exercise
     of the option is greater than the value of the futures position received by
     such holder. As market interest rates decrease or stock prices increase, the
     market price of the underlying futures contract normally increases.  When the
     underlying futures contract increases, the buyer of the put option has less
     reason to exercise the put because the buyer can sell the same futures contract
     at a higher price in the market.  If the value of the underlying futures
     position is not such that exercise of the option would be profitable to the
     option holder, the option will generally expire without being exercised. The
     premium received by a Fund can then be used to offset the higher prices of
     portfolio securities to be purchased in the future.
     In order to avoid the exercise of an option sold by it, generally a Fund will
     cancel its obligation under the option by entering into a closing purchase
     transaction, unless it is determined to be in a Fund's interest to deliver the
     underlying futures position. A closing purchase transaction consists of the
     purchase by a Fund of an option having the same term as the option sold by a
     Fund, and has the effect of canceling a Fund's position as a seller. The
     premium which a Fund will pay in executing a closing purchase transaction may
     be higher than the premium received when the option was sold, depending in
     large part upon the relative price of the underlying futures position at the
     time of each transaction.  If the hedge is successful, the cost of buying the
     second option will be less than the premium received by a Fund for the initial
     option.
     Call Options on Financial and Stock Index Futures Contracts.  A Fund may write
     (sell) listed and over-the-counter call options on financial and stock index
     futures contracts to hedge its portfolio. When a Fund writes a call option on a
     futures contract, it undertakes to sell a futures contract at the fixed price
     at any time during the life of the option. As stock prices fall or market
     interest rates rise, causing the prices of futures to go down, a Fund's
     obligation to sell a futures contract costs less to fulfill, causing the value
     of the Fund's call option position to increase.  In other words, as the
     underlying futures price goes down below the strike price, the buyer of the
     option has no reason to exercise the call, so that a Fund keeps the premium
     received for the option. This premium can substantially offset the drop in
     value of a Fund's portfolio securities.
     Prior to the expiration of a call written by a Fund, or exercise of it by the
     buyer, a Fund may close out the option by buying an identical option. If the
     hedge is successful, the cost of the second option will be less than the
     premium received by a Fund for the initial option. The net premium income of a
     Fund will then substantially offset the decrease in value of the hedged
     securities.
     A Fund may buy a listed call option on a financial or stock index futures
     contract to hedge against decreases in market interest rates or increases in
     stock price.  A Fund will use these transactions to purchase portfolio
     securities in the future at price levels existing at the time it enters into
     the transaction.  When a Fund purchases a call on a financial futures contract,
     it receives in exchange for the payment of a cash premium the right, but not
     the obligation, to enter into the underlying futures contract at a strike price
     determined at the time the call was purchased, regardless of the comparative
     market value of such futures position at the time the option is exercised. The
     holder of a call option has the right to receive a long (or buyer's) position
     in the underlying futures contract.  As market interest rates fall or stock
     prices increase, the value of the underlying futures contract will normally
     increase, resulting in an increase in value of a Fund's option position.  When
     the market price of the underlying futures contract increases above the strike
     price plus premium paid, a Fund could exercise its option and buy the futures
     contract below market price.  Prior to the exercise or expiration of the call
     option, a Fund could sell an identical call option and close out its position.
     If the premium received upon selling the offsetting call is greater than the
     premium originally paid, a Fund has completed a successful hedge.
     Limitation on Open Futures Positions.  A Fund will not maintain open positions
     in futures contracts it has sold or call options it has written on futures
     contracts if together the value of the open positions exceeds the current
     market value of a Fund's portfolio plus or minus the unrealized gain or loss on
     those open positions, adjusted for the correlation of volatility between the
     hedged securities and the futures contracts. If this limitation is exceeded at
     any time, a Fund will take prompt action to close out a sufficient number of
     open contracts to bring its open futures and options positions within this
     limitation.
     Purchasing Put and Call Options on Securities.  A Fund may purchase put options
     on portfolio securities to protect against price movements in a Fund's
     portfolio. A put option gives a Fund, in return for a premium, the right to
     sell the underlying security to the writer (seller) at a specified price during
     the term of the option.  A Fund may purchase call options on securities
     acceptable for purchase to protect against price movements by locking in on a
     purchase price for the underlying security.  A call option gives a Fund, in
     return for a premium, the right to buy the underlying security from the seller
     at a specified price during the term of the option.
     Writing Covered Call and Put Options on Securities.  A Fund may write covered
     call and put options to generate income and thereby protect against price
     movements in a Fund's portfolio securities. As writer of a call option, a Fund
     has the obligation, upon exercise of the option during the option period, to
     deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price. The Fund
     may only sell call options either on securities held in its portfolio or on
     securities which it has the right to obtain without payment of further
     consideration (or has segregated cash or U.S. government securities in the
     amount of any additional consideration).  As a writer of a put option, a Fund
     has the obligation to purchase a security from the purchaser of the option upon
     the exercise of the option.  In the case of put options, a Fund will segregate
     cash or U.S. Treasury obligations with a value equal to or greater than the
     exercise price of the underlying securities.
     Stock Index Options.  A Fund may purchase or sell put or call options on stock
     indices listed on national securities exchanges or traded in the
     over-the-counter market.  A stock index fluctuates with changes in the market
     values of the stocks included in the index.  Upon the exercise of the option,
     the holder of a call option has the right to receive, and the writer of a put
     option has the obligation to deliver, a cash payment equal to the difference
     between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option.
     The effectiveness of purchasing stock index options will depend upon the extent
     to which price movements in a Fund's portfolio correlate with price movements
     of the stock index selected.  The value of an index option depends upon
     movements in the level of the index rather than the price of a particular
     stock.  Accordingly, successful use by a Fund of options on stock indices will
     be subject to the Adviser correctly predicting movements in the directions of
     the stock market generally or of a particular industry.  This requires
     different skills and techniques than predicting changes in the price of
     individual stocks.
     Over-the-Counter Options.  Over-the-counter options are two-party contracts
     with price and other terms negotiated between buyer and seller.  In contrast,
     exchange-traded options are third-party contracts with standardized strike
     prices and expiration dates and are purchased from a clearing corporation.
     Exchange-traded options have a continuous liquid market while over-the-counter
     options may not.  A Fund may generally purchase and write over-the-counter
     options on portfolio securities or securities indices in negotiated
     transactions with the buyers or writers of the options when options on a Fund's
     portfolio securities or securities indices are not traded on an exchange.  A
     Fund purchases and writes options only with investment dealers and other
     financial institutions deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.
     Risks.  When a Fund uses futures and options on futures as hedging devices,
     there is a risk that the prices of the securities or foreign currency subject
     to the futures contracts may not correlate perfectly with the prices of the
     securities or currency in a Fund's portfolio.  This may cause the futures
     contract and any related options to react differently to market changes than
     the portfolio securities or foreign currency.  In addition, the Adviser could
     be incorrect in its expectations about the direction or extent of market
     factors such as stock price movements or foreign currency exchange rate
     fluctuations.  In these events, a Fund may lose money on the futures contract
     or option.
     When a Fund purchases futures contracts, an amount of cash and cash
     equivalents, equal to the underlying commodity value of the futures contracts
     (less any related margin deposits), will be deposited in a segregated account
     with a Fund's custodian or the broker, to collateralize the position and
     thereby insure that the use of such futures contract is unleveraged.  When a
     Fund sells futures contracts, it will either own or have the right to receive
     the underlying future or security, or will make deposits to collateralize the
     position as discussed above.
Lending of Portfolio Securities.  In order to generate additional income, a Fund
may lend portfolio securities.  When a Fund lends portfolio securities, it will
receive either cash or liquid securities as collateral from the borrower.  A Fund
will reinvest cash collateral in short-term liquid securities that qualify as an
otherwise acceptable investment for the Fund.  If the market value of the loaned
securities increases, the borrower must furnish additional collateral to a Fund.
During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays a Fund any
dividends or interest paid on such securities. Loans are subject to termination at
the option of a Fund or the borrower. A Fund may pay reasonable administrative and
custodial fees in connection with a loan and may pay a negotiated portion of the
interest earned on the cash or equivalent collateral to a securities lending agent
or broker. The Funds currently lend their portfolio securities through Marshall &
Ilsley Trust Company (M&I Trust Company), as agent.   The Funds and M&I Trust have
received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits M&I
Trust Company to charge, and the Funds to pay, market-based compensation for M&I
Trust Company's services as securities lending agent.
Securities Lending Risks.  When a Fund lends its portfolio securities, it may not
be able to get them back from the borrower on a timely basis. If this occurs, a
Fund may lose certain investment opportunities. A Fund is also subject to the risks
associated with the investments of cash collateral, usually fixed-income securities
risk.
Mortgage-Backed   Securities   represent   interests  in  pools  of  mortgages.   The
underlying  mortgages  normally have similar  interest  rates,  maturities  and other
terms.  Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest rates.  Interests in pools of
adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.
Mortgage-backed   securities  come  in  a  variety  of  forms.  Many  have  extremely
complicated   terms.   The  simplest   form  of   mortgage-backed   securities  is  a
"pass-through  certificate." Holders of pass-through  certificates receive a pro rata
share of the  payments  from the  underlying  mortgages.  Holders  also receive a pro
rata  share  of any  prepayments,  so  they  assume  all the  prepayment  risk of the
underlying mortgages.
Collateralized   mortgage   obligations  (CMOs)  are  complicated   instruments  that
allocate payments and prepayments from an underlying  pass-through  certificate among
holders of different classes of  mortgage-backed  securities.  This creates different
prepayment and market risks for each CMO class.
In addition, CMOs may allocate interest payments to one class (IOs) and principal
payments to another class (POs). POs increase in value when prepayment rates
increase. In contrast, IOs decrease in value when prepayments increase, because the
underlying mortgages generate less interest payments. However, IO prices tend to
increase when interest rates rise (and prepayments fall), making IOs a useful hedge
against market risk.
Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time without
penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance higher rate mortgages when mortgage rates
fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage-backed securities, which deprives
holders of the securities of the higher yields. Conversely, when mortgage rates
increase, prepayments due to refinancings decline. This extends the life of
mortgage-backed securities with lower yields. As a result, increases in prepayments
of premium mortgage-backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of discount
mortgage-backed securities, may reduce their yield and price.
This relationship between interest rates and mortgage prepayments makes the price
of mortgage-backed securities more volatile than most other types of fixed income
securities with comparable credit risks. Mortgage-backed securities tend to pay
higher yields to compensate for this volatility.
CMOs may include planned amortization classes (PACs) and targeted amortization
classes (TACs). PACs and TACs are issued with companion classes. PACs and TACs
receive principal payments and prepayments at a specified rate. The companion
classes receive principal payments and any prepayments in excess of this rate. In
addition, PACs will receive the companion classes' share of principal payments if
necessary to cover a shortfall in the prepayment rate. This helps PACs and TACs to
control prepayment risk by increasing the risk to their companion classes.
Another variant allocates interest payments between two classes of CMOs. One class
(Floaters) receives a share of interest payments based upon a market index such as
LIBOR. The other class (Inverse Floaters) receives any remaining interest payments
from the underlying mortgages. Floater classes receive more interest (and Inverse
Floater classes receive correspondingly less interest) as interest rates rise. This
shifts prepayment and market risks from the Floater to the Inverse Floater class,
reducing the price volatility of Floater class and increasing the price volatility
of the Inverse Floater class.
          CMOs must allocate all payments received from the underlying mortgages to
                  some class. To capture any unallocated payments, CMOs generally
                  have an accrual (Z) class. Z classes do not receive any payments
                  from the underlying mortgages until all other CMO classes have been
                  paid off. Once this happens, holders of Z class CMOs receive all
                  payments and prepayments. Similarly, real estate mortgage
                  investment conduits (REMICs) (offerings of multiple class mortgage
                  backed securities which qualify and elect treatment as such under
                  provisions of the Internal Revenue Code) have residual interests
                  that receive any mortgage payments not allocated to another REMIC
                  class.
The degree of increased or decreased prepayment risk depends upon the structure of
the CMOs. Z classes, IOs, POs, and Inverse Floaters are among the most volatile
investment grade fixed income securities currently traded in the United States.
However, the actual returns on any type of mortgage backed security depends upon
the performance of the underlying pool of mortgages, which no one can predict and
will vary among pools.
Municipal Securities are fixed income securities issued by states,  counties,  cities
and  other  political   subdivisions   and   authorities.   Although  most  municipal
securities  are  exempt  from  federal  income  tax,  municipalities  may also  issue
taxable securities.  Tax-exempt  securities are generally  classified by their source
of payment.
    General  obligation  bonds are  supported by the issuer's  full faith and credit.
    The issuer must levy and collect  taxes  sufficient to pay principal and interest
    on the bonds.  However,  the issuer's  authority to levy additional  taxes may be
    limited by its charter or state law.
    Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific  revenues  received by the
    issuer. The revenues may consist of specific taxes,  assessments,  tolls, fees or
    other types of municipal  revenues.  For example,  a municipality may issue bonds
    to build a toll  road,  and  pledge  the  tolls to repay the  bonds.  Bondholders
    could not collect from the municipality's  general taxes or revenues.  Therefore,
    any shortfall in the tolls normally would result in a default on the bonds.
    Private  activity  bonds  are  special  revenue  bonds  used to  finance  private
    entities.  For example,  a municipality  may issue bonds to finance a new factory
    to improve its local  economy.  The  municipality  would lend the proceeds to the
    company  using the  factory,  and the  company  would  agree  make loan  payments
    sufficient  to repay  the  bonds.  The bonds  would be  payable  solely  from the
    company's  loan  payments,  not  from any  other  revenues  of the  municipality.
    Therefore,  any  default on the loan  normally  would  result in a default on the
    bonds.
    The  interest on many types of private  activity  bonds is subject to the federal
    alternative  minimum  tax.  The Funds may invest in bonds  subject to the federal
    alternative minimum tax.
    Anticipation  notes are  securities  issued in  anticipation  of the  receipt  of
    taxes,  grants,  bond proceeds or other  municipal  revenues.  For example,  many
    municipalities  collect  property  taxes  once a year.  Such  municipalities  may
    issue tax  anticipation  notes to fund their  operations  prior  collecting these
    taxes.  The  issuers  then repay the tax  anticipation  notes at the end of their
    fiscal year,  either with collected  taxes or proceeds from newly issued notes or
    bonds.
    Tax  increment  financing  bonds are  payable  from  increases  in taxes or other
    revenues  attributable  to  projects  financed  by  the  bonds.  For  example,  a
    municipality  may issue  these  bonds to  redevelop a  commercial  area.  The tax
    increment  financing  bonds would be payable  solely  from any  increase in sales
    taxes  collected  from  merchants  in  the  area.  The  bonds  could  default  if
    merchants'   sales,   and  related  tax   collections,   failed  to  increase  as
    anticipated.
Municipal Securities include:
o     TRANs: tax and revenue anticipation notes issued to finance working capital
      needs in anticipation of receiving taxes or other revenues;
o     TANs:  tax anticipation notes issued to finance working capital needs in
      anticipation of receiving taxes
o     RANs:   revenue anticipation notes issued to finance working capital needs in
      anticipation of receiving revenues
o     BANs: bond anticipation notes that are intended to be refinanced through a
      later issuance of longer-term bonds
o     municipal commercial paper and other short-term notes
o     variable rate demand notes
o     industrial development bonds
o     municipal bonds (including bonds having serial maturities and pre-refunded
      bonds) and leases
o     construction loan notes insured by the Federal Housing Administration and
      financed by Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae; and
o     participation, trust and partnership interests in any of the foregoing
      obligations.

Diversification of the Intermediate Tax-Free Fund's investments is obtained
geographically by purchasing issues of Municipal Securities representative of
various areas of the U.S. and general obligations of states, cities and school
districts as well as some revenue issues which meet the Funds' acceptable quality
criteria.

     Municipal Leases.  A Fund may purchase participation interests that represent
     an undivided proportional interest in lease payments by a governmental or
     nonprofit entity. The lease payments and other rights under the lease provide
     for and secure payments on the certificates. Lease obligations may be limited
     by municipal charter or the nature of the appropriation for the lease. In
     particular, lease obligations may be subject to periodic appropriation. If the
     entity does not appropriate funds for future lease payments, the entity cannot
     be compelled to make such payments. Furthermore, a lease may provide that the
     participants cannot accelerate lease obligations upon default. The participants
     would only be able to enforce lease payments as they became due. In the event
     of a default or failure of appropriation, it is unlikely that the participants
     would be able to obtain an acceptable substitute source of payment unless the
     participation interests are credit enhanced.
     The Adviser must consider the following factors in determining the liquidity of
     municipal lease securities: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the
     security; (2) the volatility of quotations and trade prices for the security;
     (3) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security and the
     number of potential purchasers; (4) dealer undertakings to make a market in the
     security; (5) the nature of the security and the nature of the marketplace
     trades; (6) the rating of the security and the financial condition and
     prospects of the issuer of the security; (7) such other factors as may be
     relevant to the Funds' ability to dispose of the security; (8) whether the
     lease can be terminated by the lessee; (9) the potential recovery, if any, from
     a sale of the leased property upon termination of the lease; (10) the lessee's
     general credit strength; (11) the likelihood that the lessee will discontinue
     appropriating funding for the leased property because the property is no longer
     deemed essential to its operations; and (12) any credit enhancement or legal
     recourse provided upon an event of non-appropriation or other termination of
     the lease.
     Variable Rate Municipal Securities.  Variable interest rates generally reduce
     changes in the market value of Municipal Securities from their original
     purchase prices.  Accordingly, as interest rates decrease or increase, the
     potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less for variable rate
     Municipal Securities than for fixed rate obligations.  Many Municipal
     Securities with variable interest rates purchased by a Fund are subject to
     repayment of principal (usually within seven days) on the Fund's demand.  For
     purposes of determining the Funds' average maturity, the maturities of these
     variable rate demand Municipal Securities (including participation interests)
     are the longer of the periods remaining until the next readjustment of their
     interest rates or the periods remaining until their principal amounts can be
     recovered by exercising the right to demand payment.  The terms of these
     variable rate demand instruments require payment of principal and accrued
     interest from the issuer of the municipal obligations, the issuer of the
     participation interests, or a guarantor of either issuer.
Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. A repurchase agreement is
a transaction in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to
sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase
price exceeds the sale price, reflecting an agreed upon interest rate effective for
the period the buyer owns the security subject to repurchase. The agreed upon
interest rate is unrelated to the interest rate on that security. The Adviser will
continually monitor the value of the underlying security to ensure that the value
of the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price. A Fund's custodian
is required to take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements.
These securities are marked to market daily. To the extent that the original seller
defaults and does not repurchase the securities from a Fund, a Fund could receive
less than the repurchase price on any sale of such securities. In the event that
such a defaulting seller files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, disposition of
such securities by a Fund might be delayed pending court action. The Funds believe
that, under the procedures normally in effect for custody of the portfolio
securities subject to repurchase agreements, a court of competent jurisdiction
would rule in favor of the Funds and allow retention or disposition of such
securities. The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and
other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
by the Adviser to be creditworthy.
Reverse repurchase agreement transactions are similar to borrowing cash. In a
reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells a portfolio security to another person,
such as a financial institution, broker, or dealer, in return for a percentage of
the instrument's market value in cash, and agrees that on a stipulated date in the
future a Fund will repurchase the portfolio at a price equal to the original sale
price plus interest. A Fund may use reverse repurchase agreements for liquidity and
may enable a Fund to avoid selling portfolio instruments at a time when a sale may
be deemed to be disadvantageous.
When effecting reverse repurchase agreements, liquid assets of a Fund, in a dollar
amount sufficient to make payment for the obligations to be purchased, are
segregated at the trade date. These securities are marked to market daily and
maintained until the transaction is settled.
Swap Transactions.  In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange
(swap) the returns (or differentials in rates of return) on particular securities,
which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The returns to be swapped are
generally calculated with respect to a return on a notional dollar amount invested
at a particular interest rate, or in a basket of securities representing a
particular index. For example, a $10 million LIBOR swap would require one party to
pay the equivalent of the London Interbank Offer Rate on $10 million principal
amount in exchange for the right to receive the equivalent of a fixed rate of
interest on $10 million principal amount. Neither party to the swap would actually
advance $10 million to the other.
The Funds will usually enter into swaps on a net basis (i.e., the two payment
streams are netted out), with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only
the net amount of the two payments. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the
Funds' obligations over its entitlements with respect to each interest rate swap
will be accrued on a daily basis, and the Funds will segregate liquid assets in an
aggregate net asset value at least equal to the accrued excess, if any, on each
business day. If a Fund enters into a swap on other than a net basis, a Fund will
segregate liquid assets in the full amount accrued on a daily basis of a Fund's
obligations with respect to the swap. If there is a default by the other party to
such a transaction, the Funds will have contractual remedies pursuant to the
agreements related to the transaction.
The Funds expect to enter into swap transactions primarily to hedge against changes
in the price of other portfolio securities. For example, a Fund may hedge against
changes in the market value of a fixed rate security by entering into a swap that
requires a Fund to pay the same or a lower fixed rate of interest on a notional
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the security in exchange for a
variable rate of interest based on a market index. Interest accrued on the hedged
note would then equal or exceed the Funds' obligations under the swap, while
changes in the market value of the swap would largely offset any changes in the
market value of the note. The Funds may also enter into swaps to preserve or
enhance a return or spread on a portfolio security.  The Funds do not intend to use
these transactions in a speculative manner.
The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of
banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and agents utilizing
standardized swap documentation. The Adviser has determined that, as a result, the
swap market has become relatively liquid. Interest rate caps and floors are more
recent innovations for which standardized documentation has not yet been developed
and, accordingly, they are less liquid than other swaps. To the extent swaps, caps
or floors are determined by the Adviser to be illiquid, they will be included in a
Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid securities. To the extent a Fund sells
caps and floors, it will maintain in a segregated account cash and/or U.S.
government securities having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the
full amount, accrued on a daily basis, of a Fund's obligations with respect to caps
and floors.
The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment
techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio
securities transactions. If the Adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of market
values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of
a Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if these investment
techniques were not utilized. Moreover, even if the Adviser is correct in its
forecasts, there is a risk that the swap position may correlate imperfectly with
the price of the portfolio security being hedged.
Swap transactions do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying
assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to a default on an
interest rate swap is limited to the net asset value of the swap together with the
net amount of interest payments owed to a Fund by the defaulting party. A default
on a portfolio security hedged by an interest rate swap would also expose a Fund to
the risk of having to cover its net obligations under the swap with income from
other portfolio securities.
Temporary Investments. There may be times when market conditions warrant a
defensive position (this rarely applies to the Money Market Fund). During these
market conditions each of the Funds may temporarily invest without limit in
short-term debt obligations (money market instruments). These investments include
commercial paper, bank instruments, U.S. government obligations, repurchase
agreements, securities of other investment companies investing in short-term debt
securities, and foreign short-term debt securities (for the International Stock
Fund).
Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United
States. Investors regard treasury securities as having the lowest credit risk.
Warrants give a Fund the option to buy the issuer's stock or other equity
securities at a specified price. A Fund may buy the designated shares by paying the
exercise price before the warrant expires. Warrants may become worthless if the
price of the stock does not rise above the exercise price by the expiration date.
Rights are the same as warrants, except they are typically issued to existing
stockholders.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions.  These transactions are made to
secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield.  Settlement dates
may be a month or more after entering into these transactions, and the market
values of the securities purchased may vary from the purchase prices.  Other than
normal transaction costs, no fees or expenses are incurred.  However, liquid assets
of a Fund are segregated on a Fund's records at the trade date in an amount
sufficient to make payment for the securities to be purchased.  These assets are
marked to market daily and are maintained until the transaction has been settled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS
The following investment limitations are fundamental and cannot be changed for a
Fund unless authorized by the "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of
that Fund, as defined by the Investment Company Act.
Selling Short and Buying on Margin

The Funds will not sell any securities short or purchase any securities on margin,
but may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for clearance of
purchases and sales of portfolio securities. A deposit or payment by a Fund of
initial or variation margin in connection with futures contracts, forward contracts
or related options transactions is not considered the purchase of a security on
margin.
Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money

The Funds will not issue senior securities except that each Fund may borrow money,
directly or through reverse repurchase agreements, in amounts up to one-third of
the value of its total assets (net assets in the case of the Money Market Fund,
Short-Term Income Fund and Intermediate Bond Fund) including the amounts borrowed;
and except to the extent that a Fund is permitted to enter into futures contracts,
options or forward contracts.  Except for the International Stock Fund, a Fund will
not borrow money or engage in reverse repurchase agreements for investment
leverage, but rather as a temporary, extraordinary, or emergency measure or to
facilitate management of its portfolio by enabling the Fund to meet redemption
requests when the liquidation of portfolio securities is deemed to be inconvenient
or disadvantageous.  Except for the International Stock Fund, a Fund will not
purchase any securities while any borrowings in excess of 5% of its total assets
are outstanding.
Pledging Assets

The Funds will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any assets except to secure
permitted borrowings. In those cases, each Fund may pledge assets having a market
value not exceeding the lesser of the dollar amounts borrowed or 15% of the value
of its total assets at the time of the pledge. For purposes of this limitation, the
following are not deemed to be pledges: margin deposits for the purchase and sale
of futures contracts and related options; and segregation of collateral
arrangements made in connection with options activities, forward contracts or the
purchase of securities on a when-issued basis.
Lending Cash or Securities

The Funds will not lend any of their assets except portfolio securities.  Except
for the International Stock Fund, loans may not exceed one-third of the value of a
Fund's total assets.  This shall not prevent a Fund from purchasing or holding U.S.
government obligations, money market instruments, variable rate demand notes,
bonds, debentures, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other debt securities,
entering into repurchase agreements, or engaging in other transactions where
permitted by the Fund's investment goal, policies, and limitations.
Investing in Commodities

The Funds will not purchase or sell commodities, commodity contracts, or commodity
futures contracts.  However, except for the Intermediate Bond Fund and the Money
Market Fund, a Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts and related options,
and the International Stock Fund may also enter into forward contracts and related
options.
Investing in Real Estate

The Funds will not purchase or sell real estate, including limited partnership
interests, although a Fund may invest in the securities of companies whose business
involves the purchase or sale of real estate or in securities which are secured by
real estate or which represent interests in real estate.
Diversification of Investments

With respect to securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, a Fund
will not purchase securities issued by any one issuer (other than cash, cash items
or securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its
agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such
securities) if as a result more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be
invested in the securities of that issuer or if it would own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of such issuer.
Concentration of Investments

A Fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry.
However, investing in U.S. government securities (and domestic bank instruments for
the Money Market Fund) shall not be considered investments in any one industry.
Underwriting

A Fund will not underwrite any issue of securities, except as it may be deemed to
be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of
restricted securities which the Fund may purchase pursuant to its investment goal,
policies and limitations.
NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS

The following investment limitations are non-fundamental and, therefore, may be
changed by the Directors without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be
notified before any material change in these limitations becomes effective.
Investing in Illiquid and Restricted Securities

The Funds will not invest more than 15% (10% for the Money Market Fund) of the
value of their net assets in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements
providing for settlement in more than seven days after notice, non-negotiable fixed
time deposits with maturities over seven days, over-the-counter options, guaranteed
investment contracts, and certain restricted securities not determined by the
Directors to be liquid (including certain municipal leases).
Purchasing Securities to Exercise Control

The Funds will not purchase securities of a company for the purpose of exercising
control or management.
Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies

Each Fund will limit its investment in other investment companies to no more than
3% of the total outstanding voting stock of any investment company, will invest no
more than 5% of total assets in any one investment company, and will invest no more
than 10% of its total assets in investment companies in general, unless permitted
to exceed these limits by an exemptive order of the SEC. The Funds will purchase
securities of closed-end investment companies only in open market transactions
involving only customary broker's commissions. However, these limitations are not
applicable if the securities are acquired in a merger, consolidation,
reorganization, or acquisition of assets. The Money Market Fund will limit its
investments in other investment companies to those of money market funds having
investment objectives and policies similar to its own.
Investing in Options

Except for bona fide hedging purposes, a Fund may not invest more than 5% of the
value of its net assets in the sum of (a) premiums on open option positions on
futures contracts, plus (b) initial margin deposits on futures contracts.
A Fund will not purchase put options or write call options on securities unless the
securities are held in the Fund's portfolio or unless the Fund is entitled to them
in deliverable form without further payment or has segregated liquid assets in the
amount of any further payment.
A Fund will not write call options in excess of 25% of the value of its total
assets.
Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to at
the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from
any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such
restriction. For purposes of its policies and limitations, the Fund considers
instruments (such as certificates of deposit and demand and time deposits) issued
by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank or savings and loan having capital, surplus,
and undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 at the time of investment to be
cash items.
Regulatory Compliance.  The Money Market Fund may follow non-fundamental
operational policies that are more restrictive than its fundamental investment
limitations, as set forth in the Prospectus and this statement of additional
information, in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including the
provisions of and regulations under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In
particular, the Money Market Fund will comply with the various requirements of Rule
2a-7 under the Act, which regulates money market mutual funds. For example, Rule
2a-7 generally prohibits the investment of more than 5% of the Money Market Fund's
total assets in the securities of any one issuer, although the Money Market Fund's
fundamental investment limitation only requires such 5% diversification with
respect to 75% of its assets. The Money Market Fund will also determine the
effective maturity of its investments, as well as its ability to consider a
security as having received the requisite short-term ratings by NRSROs, according
to Rule 2a-7. The Money Market Fund may change these operational policies to
reflect changes in the laws and regulations without shareholder approval.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES

The following Funds have an investment policy which requires that a Fund invest,
under normal market conditions, at least 65% of its total assets in a particular
type of security that is consistent with a Fund's goals and investment strategies.
Equity Income Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets in equity
securities that generate dividend income.
Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets
in common stocks and preferred stocks of large-sized companies whose market
capitalizations generally exceed $10 billion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USE OF THE AMORTIZED COST METHOD (MONEY MARKET FUND ONLY)

The Directors have decided that the best method for determining the value of
portfolio instruments for the Money Market Fund is amortized cost. Under this
method, portfolio instruments are valued at the acquisition cost as adjusted for
amortization of premium or accumulation of discount rather than at current market
value.
The Money Market Fund's use of the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio
instruments depends on its compliance with the provisions of Rule 2a-7 (the Rule)
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act. Under the
Rule, the Directors must establish procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the
net asset value per share, as computed for purposes of distribution and redemption,
at $1.00 per share, taking into account current market conditions and the Fund's
investment goal.
Under the Rule, the Money Market Fund is permitted to purchase instruments which
are subject to demand features or standby commitments. As defined by the Rule, a
demand feature entitles the Fund to receive the principal amount of the instrument
from the issuer or a third party on (1) no more than 30 days' notice or (2) at
specified intervals not exceeding 397 days on no more than 30 days' notice. A
standby commitment entitles the Fund to achieve same-day settlement and to receive
an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying instrument plus
accrued interest at the time of exercise.
The Money Market Fund acquires instruments subject to demand features and standby
commitments to enhance the instrument's liquidity. The Fund treats demand features
and standby commitments as part of the underlying instruments, because the Fund
does not acquire them for speculative purposes and cannot transfer them separately
from the underlying instruments. Therefore, although the Fund defines demand
features and standby commitments as puts, the Fund does not consider them to be
corporate investments for purposes of its investment policies.
Monitoring Procedures.  The Directors' procedures include monitoring the
relationship between the amortized cost value per share and the net asset value per
share based upon available indications of market value. The Directors will decide
what, if any, steps should be taken if there is a difference of more than 0.5 of 1%
between the two values. The Directors will take any steps they consider appropriate
(such as redemption in kind or shortening the average portfolio maturity) to
minimize any material dilution or other unfair results arising from differences
between the two methods of determining net asset value.
Investment Restrictions.  The Rule requires that the Money Market Fund limit its
investments to instruments that, in the opinion of the Directors, present minimal
credit risks and have received the requisite rating from one or more NRSROs.  If
the instruments are not rated, the Directors must determine that they are of
comparable quality. The Rule also requires the Fund to maintain a dollar-weighted
average portfolio maturity (not more than 90 days) appropriate to the objective of
maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. In addition, no instrument
with a remaining maturity of more than 397 days can be purchased by the Fund.
Should the disposition of a portfolio security result in a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of more than 90 days, the Money Market Fund will invest its
available cash to reduce the average maturity to 90 days or less as soon as
possible. Shares of investment companies purchased by the Fund will meet these same
criteria and will have investment policies consistent with Rule 2a-7.
Under the amortized cost method of valuation, neither the amount of daily income
nor the net asset value is affected by any unrealized appreciation or depreciation
of the portfolio.  In periods of declining interest rates, the indicated daily
yield on shares of the Money Market Fund, computed based upon amortized cost
valuation, may tend to be higher than a similar computation made by using a method
of valuation based upon market prices and estimates.  In periods of rising interest
rates, the indicated daily yield on shares of the Fund computed the same way may
tend to be lower than a similar computation made by using a method of calculation
based upon market prices and estimates.
MARKET VALUES (ALL OTHER FUNDS)

Market values of portfolio securities are determined as follows:

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

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

o     for bonds and other fixed income securities, at the last sale price on a
      national securities exchange, if available, otherwise, as determined by an
      independent pricing service;

o     for short-term obligations, according to the mean between bid and asked prices
      as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that short-term
      obligations with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of
      purchase may be valued at amortized cost or at fair market value as
      determined in good faith by the Board; and

o     for all other securities, at a fair value as determined in good faith by the
      Board.

The Funds may value securities at prices provided by independent pricing services
that may not rely exclusively on quoted prices and may consider:  institutional
trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon
rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or
factors.

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

TRADING IN FOREIGN SECURITIES

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing
of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its net asset value, the
International Stock Fund values foreign securities at the latest closing price on
the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE.
Certain foreign currency exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate
prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies
are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Occasionally, events that affect
these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are
determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value
of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith by the Directors, although the actual calculation may be
done by others.

WHAT DO SHARES COST?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Except under certain circumstances described in the Prospectus, shares are sold at
their net asset value (plus a sales charge) on days the New York Stock Exchange is
open for business. The procedure for purchasing shares is explained in the
Prospectus under "How to Buy Shares" and "What Do Shares Cost."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW ARE THE FUND SHARES SOLD?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the Distributor's Contract with the Funds, the Distributor (Federated
Securities Corp.), located at Federated Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue,
Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779, offers shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis. Texas
residents must purchase shares of the Funds through M&I Brokerage Services, Inc. at
1-800-580-FUND (3863), or through any authorized broker-dealer.
FRONT-END SALES CHARGE REALLOWANCE
The distributor receives a front-end sales charge on certain Share sales. The
Distributor generally pays up to 90% (and as much as 100%) of this charge to a
broker-dealer, investment professional, or financial institution (Authorized
Dealers) for sales and/or administrative services. Any payments to an Authorized
Dealer in excess of 90% of the front-end sales charge are considered supplemental
payments. The distributor retains any portion not paid to an Authorized Dealer.
12B-1 PLAN

The Corporation has adopted a compensation-type plan for Advisor Class of Shares of
the Funds (Plan Shares) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the Plan) which was promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Act. The Plan provides that
the Funds' Distributor shall act as the distributor of Plan Shares, and it permits
the payment of fees to brokers, dealers and administrators for distribution and/or
administrative services. The Plan is designed to stimulate brokers, dealers and
administrators to provide distribution and/or administrative support services to
the Funds and holders of Plan Shares. These services are to be provided by a
representative who has knowledge of the shareholder's particular circumstances and
goals, and include, but are not limited to: providing office space, equipment,
telephone facilities, and various personnel, including clerical, supervisory, and
computer, as necessary or beneficial to establish and maintain shareholder accounts
and records; processing purchase and redemption transactions and automatic
investment of client account cash balances; answering routine client inquiries
regarding the Plan Shares; assisting clients in changing dividend options, account
designations, and addresses; and providing such other services as the Funds
reasonably request.
Other benefits which the Funds hope to achieve through the Plan include, but are
not limited to, the following: (1) an efficient and effective administrative
system; (2) a more efficient use of assets of holders of Plan Shares by having them
rapidly invested in the Funds with a minimum of delay and administrative detail;
and (3) an efficient and reliable records system for holders of Plan Shares and
prompt responses to shareholder requests and inquiries concerning their accounts.
By adopting the Plan, the Directors expect that the Funds will be able to achieve a
more predictable flow of cash for investment purposes and to meet redemptions. This
will facilitate more efficient portfolio management and assist the Funds in seeking
to achieve their investment objectives. By identifying potential investors in Plan
Shares whose needs are served by the Funds' objectives and properly servicing these
accounts, the Funds may be able to lessen fluctuations in rates of redemptions and
sales.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

M&I Trust Company, through MFIS, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Funds.
As such, MFIS provides shareholder services which include, but are not limited to,
distributing Prospectuses and other information, providing shareholder assistance,
and communicating or facilitating purchases and redemption of shares.
The Funds may pay M&I Trust Company for providing shareholder services and
maintaining shareholder accounts. M&I Trust Company may select others (including
Federated Shareholder Services, a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc.) to
perform these services for their customers and may pay them fees.

SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
Investment professionals may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor
and/or M&I Trust Company (but not out of Fund assets). The Distributor and/or M&I
Trust Company may be reimbursed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO BUY SHARES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUANTITY DISCOUNTS AND ACCUMULATED PURCHASES

As described in the Prospectus, larger purchases of the same Share class reduce or
eliminate the sales charge paid. For example, the Funds will combine all Advisor
Class of Shares purchases made on the same day by the investor, the investor's
spouse, and the investor's children under age 21 when it calculates the sales
charge. In addition, the sales charge, if applicable, is reduced for purchases made
at one time by a trustee or fiduciary for a single trust estate or a single
fiduciary account.
If an additional purchase into the same Share class is made, the Funds will
consider the previous purchases still invested in the Funds. For example, if a
shareholder already owns Advisor Class of Shares having a current value at the
public offering price of $40,000 and he purchases $10,000 more at the current
public offering price, the sales charge on the additional purchase according to the
schedule now in effect would be 4.5%, not 5.75%.
To receive the sales charge reduction, M&I Brokerage Services must be notified by
the shareholder in writing or by his investment professional or financial
institution at the time the purchase is made that Advisor Class of Shares are
already owned or that purchases are being combined. The Funds will reduce or
eliminate the sales charge after it confirms the purchases.
CONCURRENT PURCHASES

Shareholders have the privilege of combining concurrent purchases of the same Share
class of two or more Marshall Funds in calculating the applicable sales charge.
To receive a sales charge reduction or elimination, M&I Brokerage Services must be
notified by the shareholder in writing or by his investment professional or
financial institution at the time the concurrent purchases are made.  The Funds
will reduce or eliminate the sales charge after it confirms the purchases.
LETTER OF INTENT

A shareholder can sign a letter of intent committing to purchase a certain amount
of the same Share class within a 13-month period in order to combine such purchases
in calculating the applicable sales charge.  The Funds' custodian will hold shares
in escrow equal to the maximum applicable sales charge.  If the shareholder
completes the commitment, the escrowed shares will be released to their account.
If the commitment is not completed within 13 months, the custodian will redeem an
appropriate number of escrowed shares to pay for the applicable sales charge.
While this letter of intent will not obligate the shareholder to purchase Advisor
Class of Shares, each purchase during the period will be at the sales charge
applicable to the total amount intended to be purchased. At the time a letter of
intent is established, current balances in accounts in any Advisor Class of Shares
of any Marshall Fund, excluding money market accounts, will be aggregated to
provide a purchase credit towards fulfillment of the letter of intent. The letter
may be dated as of a prior date to include any purchase made within the past
90 days. Prior trade prices will not be adjusted.
REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE

The reinvestment privilege is available for all shares of the Fund within the same
share class.
Class A shareholders who redeem from the Fund may reinvest the redemption proceeds
back into the same Share class at the next determined net asset value without any
sales charge.  The original shares must have been subject to a sales charge and the
reinvestment must be within 90 days.
In addition, if shares were reinvested through an investment professional or
financial institution, the investment professional or financial institution would
not be entitled to an advanced payment from M&I Brokerage Services on the
reinvested shares, if otherwise applicable. M&I Brokerage Services must be notified
by the shareholder in writing or by his investment professional or financial
institution of the reinvestment in order to eliminate a sales charge or a
contingent deferred sales charge.  If the shareholder redeems shares in the Fund,
there may be tax consequences.
EXCHANGING SECURITIES FOR SHARES

You may contact the Distributor to request a purchase of shares in an exchange for
securities you own.  The Fund reserves the right to determine whether to accept
your securities and the minimum market value to accept.  The Fund will value your
securities in the same manner as it values its assets.  This exchange is treated as
a sale of your securities for federal tax purposes.
REDEMPTION IN KIND

Although the Funds intend to pay share redemptions in cash, the Funds reserve the
right, as described below, to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of the Fund's portfolio securities.
Because the Corporation has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are obligated to pay share redemptions to
any one shareholder in cash only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of a Fund's net
assets represented by such share class during any 90-day period.
Any share redemption payment greater than this amount will also be in cash unless
the Funds' Directors determine that payment should be in kind.  In such a case, a
Fund will pay all or a portion of the remainder of the redemption in portfolio
securities, valued in the same way as the Fund determines its net asset value.  The
portfolio securities will be selected in a manner that the Funds' Directors deems
fair and equitable and, to the extent available, such securities will be readily
marketable.
Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash redemption. If redemption is made in
kind, shareholders would incur transaction costs in selling the portfolio
securities received, and the proceeds of such sales, when made, may be more or less
than the value on the redemption date.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VOTING RIGHTS
Shareholders of each Fund are entitled: (i) to one vote per full share of Common
Stock; (ii) to distributions declared by Directors; and (iii) upon liquidation of
the Corporation, to participate ratably in the assets of the Fund available for
distribution.  Each share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in the
election of Directors and other matters submitted to shareholders for vote.  All
shares of each portfolio or class in the Corporation have equal voting rights,
except that only shares of a particular portfolio or class are entitled to vote on
matters affecting that portfolio or class. Consequently, the holders of more than
50% of the Corporation's shares of common stock voting for the election of
Directors can elect the entire Board of Directors, and, in such event, the holders
of the Corporation's remaining shares voting for the election of Directors will not
be able to elect any person or persons to the Board of Directors.
The Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (the WBCL) permits registered investment
companies, such as the Corporation, to operate without an annual meeting of
shareholders under specified circumstances if an annual meeting is not required by
the Act.  The Corporation has adopted the appropriate provisions in its By-laws and
does not anticipate holding an annual meeting of shareholders to elect Directors
unless otherwise required by the Act.  Directors may be removed by the shareholders
at a special meeting.  A special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the
Directors upon written request of shareholders owning at least 10% of the
Corporation's outstanding voting shares.
The shares are redeemable and are transferable.  All shares issued and sold by the
Corporation will be fully paid and nonassessable except as provided in WBCL Section
180.0622(2)(b). Fractional shares of common stock entitle the holder to the same
rights as whole shares of common stock except the right to receive a certificate
evidencing such fractional shares.
As of October 1, 2001, the following shareholders owned 5% or more of a Fund's
outstanding Advisor Class of Shares:

International Stock Fund - MITRA & Co., C/O Marshall & Ilsley Trust Operations,
Milwaukee, WI, owned approximately 70,712 shares (16.35%); Securities Corporation
Inc., Jersey City, NJ, owned approximately 92,958 shares (21.49%).  Government
Income Fund - Gladys Deuster, Milwaukee, WI, owned approximately 20,739 shares
(7.84%). Short-Term Income Fund - Arlene Goebel, West Bend, WI, owned approximately
4,313 shares (36.69%); M&I Trust Co., IRA account #2000001845-4, Green Bay, WI,
owned approximately 633 shares (5.39%); M&I Trust Co., IRA account, #2000003068-1
Madison, WI, owned approximately 820 shares (6.98%); Wallace Peterson, Ashland, WI
owned approximately 804 shares (6.84%); Eva Lohrer, Kewaskum, WI, owned
approximately 703 shares (5.98%); Donaldson Lufkin Jenrette, Securities Corp., Inc,
Jersey City, NJ, owned approximately 1,181 shares (10.05%). Money Market Fund - M&I
BSS, C/O Mary Smith, Appleton, WI, owned approximately 41,406,200 shares (33.10%);
and Nimblegen Systems, Inc., Madison, WI, owned approximately 6,665,762 shares
(5.33%).
Shareholders owning 25% or more of the outstanding shares of a Fund may be in
control and be able to affect the outcome of certain matters presented for a vote
of shareholders.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FEDERAL INCOME TAX

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

Each Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax
purposes so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the
Corporation's other portfolios will be separate from those realized by each Fund.
Each Fund is entitled to a loss carry-forward, which may reduce the taxable income
or gain that each Fund would realize, and to which the shareholder would be
subject, in the future.
The dividends received deduction for corporations will apply to ordinary income
distributions to the extent the distribution represents amounts that would qualify
for the dividends received deduction to the Equity Funds if the Equity Funds were a
regular corporation, and to the extent designated by the Equity Funds as so
qualifying.  Otherwise, these dividends and any short-term capital gains are
taxable as ordinary income.  No portion of any income dividends paid by the other
Funds is eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporations.
These dividends, and any short-term capital gains, are taxable as ordinary income.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS

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

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

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

If more than 50% of the value of the Fund's assets at the end of the tax year is
represented by stock or securities of foreign corporations, the Fund will qualify
for certain Code provisions that allow its shareholders to claim a foreign tax
credit or deduction on their U.S. income tax returns. The Code may limit a
shareholder's ability to claim a foreign tax credit. Shareholders who elect to
deduct their portion of the Fund's foreign taxes rather than take the foreign tax
credit must itemize deductions on their income tax returns. The Funds expect that
only International Stock Fund will qualify for these Code provisions.

STATE AND LOCAL TAXES

Distributions representing net interest received on tax-exempt municipal securities
are not necessarily free from income taxes of any state or local taxing authority.
State laws differ on this issue, and you should consult your tax adviser for
specific details regarding the status of your account under state and local tax
laws, including treatment of distributions as income or return of capital.
CAPITAL GAINS

Capital gains, when realized by the Funds, could result in an increase in
distributions.  Capital losses could result in a decrease in distributions.  When a
Fund realizes net long-term capital gains, it will distribute them at least once
every 12 months.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADVISER TO THE FUNDS

The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the
Fund.  The Funds' investment adviser is M&I Investment Management Corp. (Adviser),
a Wisconsin corporation headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Adviser provides
investment management services for investment companies, financial institutions,
individuals, corporations and not-for profit organizations, and is registered as an
investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Adviser is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (M&I Corp.), a bank
holding company headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with approximately $26.1
billion in assets. The Adviser shall not be liable to the Corporation, the Funds or
any shareholder of the Funds for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding, or sale of any security, or for anything done or omitted by it, except
acts or omissions involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract with the
Corporation. Because of the internal controls maintained by the Adviser's
affiliates to restrict the flow of non-public information, Fund investments are
typically made without any knowledge of the lending relationships affiliates of the
Adviser may have with an issuer.
SUB-ADVISER TO INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND

BPI Global Asset Management LLP (BPI) is the Sub-Adviser to the International Stock
Fund. It is the Adviser's responsibility to select a Sub-Adviser for the
International Stock Fund that has distinguished itself in its area of expertise in
asset management and to review the Sub-Adviser's performance. The Adviser provides
investment management evaluation services by performing initial due diligence on
BPI and thereafter monitoring BPI's performance through quantitative and
qualitative analysis, as well as periodic in-person, telephonic and written
consultations with BPI. In evaluating BPI, the Adviser considers, among other
factors, BPI's level of expertise; relative performance and consistency of
performance over a minimum period of time; level of adherence to investment
discipline or philosophy; personnel, facilities and financial strength; and quality
of service and client communications. The Adviser has responsibility for
communicating performance expectations and evaluations to BPI and ultimately
recommending to the Corporation's Directors whether BPI's contract should be
renewed, modified or terminated. The Adviser provides written reports to the
Directors regarding the results of its evaluation and monitoring functions. The
Adviser is also responsible for conducting all operations of the International
Stock Fund, except those operations contracted to BPI, the custodian, the transfer
agent, and the administrator. Although BPI's activities are subject to oversight by
the Directors and officers of the Corporation, neither the Directors, the officers,
nor the Adviser evaluates the investment merits of BPI's individual security
selections. BPI has complete discretion to purchase, manage and sell portfolio
securities for the International Stock Fund, subject to the International Stock
Fund's investment goal, policies and limitations. For its services under the
Sub-advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.40%
of the International Stock Fund's average daily net assets. The Sub-Adviser is paid
by the Adviser and not by the International Stock Fund. However, BPI will furnish
to the Adviser such investment advice, statistical and other factual information as
requested by the Adviser. BPI, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, provides
portfolio management services for investment companies, corporations, trusts,
estates, pension and profit sharing plans, individuals, and other institutions
located principally in Canada and the United States, and is an investment adviser
registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. BPI is a Delaware
limited liability partnership between CI Holdings USA, Inc. (CI Holdings USA) as a
51% partner, and JBS Advisors, Inc. (JBS) as a 49% partner. CI Holdings USA is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of C.I. Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of CI Mutual Funds, Inc. CI Mutual Funds, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CI
Fund Management, Inc., a publicly-traded company located in Toronto, Ontario,
Canada. JBS is owned by BPI's portfolio managers and its President.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001, the Adviser paid BPI $1,681,155.  BPI
became Sub-Adviser on March 29, 1999, but was compensated for advisory services
beginning May 1, 1999.  Prior to March 26, 1999, Templeton Investment Counsel, Inc.
(TICI) served as the International Stock Fund's former Sub-Adviser. For the period
from September 1, 1998 to May 1, 1999 (the effective date of termination of TICI's
sub-advisory contract), the Adviser paid TICI $645,806. For the fiscal years ended
August 31, 1998 and 1997, the Adviser paid TICI $1,072,613 and $816,182,
respectively.
BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

The Adviser and/or BPI may select brokers and dealers who offer brokerage and
research services. These services may be furnished directly to a Fund, the Adviser,
or BPI and may include:  advice as to the advisability of investing in securities;
security analysis and reports; economic studies; industry studies; receipt of
quotations for portfolio evaluations; and similar services.
The Adviser, BPI, and their affiliates exercise reasonable business judgment in
selecting brokers who offer brokerage and research services to execute securities
transactions. They determine in good faith that commissions charged by such persons
are reasonable in relationship to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided.
Research services provided by brokers and dealers may be used by the Adviser and
BPI in advising the Funds and other accounts. To the extent that receipt of these
services may supplant services for which the Adviser, BPI, or their affiliates
might otherwise have paid, it would tend to reduce their expenses.
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001, aggregate total commissions with
brokers to whom transactions were directed based on brokerage and research services
provided were $1,925,224.44 on transaction with an aggregate principal value of
$1,039,123,591.93.

HOW DO THE FUNDS MEASURE PERFORMANCE?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds may advertise each Fund's share performance by using the Securities and
Exchange Commission's (SEC) standard method for calculating performance applicable
to all mutual funds.  The SEC also permits this standard performance information to
be accompanied by non-standard performance information.

Unless otherwise stated, any quoted share performance reflects the effect of
non-recurring charges, such as maximum sales charges, which, if excluded, would
increase the total return and yield.  The performance of shares depends upon such
variables as: portfolio quality; average portfolio maturity; type and value of
portfolio securities; changes in interest rates; changes or differences in a Fund's
or any class of shares' expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings and
offering price per share fluctuate daily.  Both net earnings and offering price per
share are factors in the computation of yield and total return.

TOTAL RETURN

Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of
shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and
capital gains distributions.
The average annual total return for a Fund shares is the average compounded rate of
return for a given period that would equate a $1,000 initial investment to the
ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is computed
by multiplying the number of shares owned at the end of the period by the net asset
value per share at the end of the period. The number of shares owned at the end of
the period is based on the number of shares purchased at the beginning of the
period with $1,000, adjusted over the period by any additional shares, assuming the
quarterly reinvestment of any dividends and distributions.
The quoted performance data for the Small-Cap Growth Fund includes the performance
of a predecessor collective trust fund for periods before the Fund's registration
statement became effective on August 30, 1996, as adjusted to reflect the Fund's
expenses. The collective trust fund was not registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and therefore was not subject to certain investment
restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the collective trust fund had
been registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely
affected.
Advisor Class shares for the Equity Funds and Income Funds were not offered until
December 1998.
YIELD

The Money Market Fund calculates the yield for Advisor Class of Shares daily, based
upon the seven days ending on the day of the calculation, called the base period.
This yield is computed by:
o     determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical account with a
          balance of one share at the beginning of the base period, with the net
          change excluding capital changes but including the value of any
          additional shares purchased with dividends earned from the original one
          share and all dividends declared on the original and any purchased shares;

o     dividing the net change in the account's value by the value of the account at
          the beginning of the base period to determine the base period return; and

o     multiplying the base period return by 365/7.

The Money Market Fund's yield for Advisor Class of Shares for the seven-day period
ended August 31, 2001, was 3.16%.
The yield for the other Funds' shares is calculated by dividing: (i)the net
investment income per share earned by a Fund's shares over a thirty-day period; by
(ii) the maximum offering price per share of the Fund on the last day of the
period. This number is then annualized using semi-annual compounding. This means
that the amount of income generated during the thirty-day period is assumed to be
generated each month over a 12-month period and is reinvested every six months.
To the extent that financial institutions and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in a Fund's
shares, the Fund's shares performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.
Advisor Class of Shares for the Equity and Income Funds were not offered until
December 1998.
EFFECTIVE YIELD (MONEY MARKET FUND ONLY)

The Money Market Fund's effective yield for Advisor Class of Shares is computed by
compounding the unannualized base period return by: adding 1 to the base period
return; raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and  subtracting 1 from the result.
The Money Market Fund's effective yield for Advisor Class of Shares (formerly,
Class B Shares) for the seven-day period ended August 31, 2001, was 3.21%.

Advertising and sales literature may include:

o references to ratings, rankings, and financial publications and/or performance
  comparisons of the Funds' shares to certain indices;
o charts, graphs and illustrations using the Funds' returns, or returns in general,
  that demonstrate investment concepts such as tax-deferred compounding, dollar-cost
  averaging and systematic investment;
o discussions of economic, financial and political developments and their impact on
  the securities market, including the portfolio manager's views on how such
  developments could impact the Funds; and
o information about the mutual fund industry from sources such as the Investment
  Company Institute.

The Funds may compare their performance, or performance for the types of securities
in which it invests, to a variety of other investments, including federally insured
bank products such as bank savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and Treasury
bills.

The Funds may quote information from sources the Funds believe are reliable
regarding individual countries and regions, world stock exchanges, and economic and
demographic statistics.

You may use financial publications and/or indices to obtain a more complete view of
share performance.  When comparing performance, you should consider all relevant
factors such as the composition of the index used, prevailing market conditions,
portfolio compositions of other funds, and methods used to value portfolio
securities and compute offering price.  The financial publications and/or indices
which the Funds' use in advertising may include:
o     Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (EAFE)
          is a market capitalization weighted foreign securities index, which is
          widely used to measure the performance of European, Australian and New
          Zealand and Far Eastern stock markets. The index covers approximately
          1,020 companies drawn from 18 countries in the above regions. The index
          values its securities daily in both U.S. dollars and local currency and
          calculates total returns monthly. EAFE U.S. dollar total return is a net
          dividend figure less Luxembourg withholding tax. The EAFE is monitored by
          Capital International, S.A., Geneva, Switzerland.

o     Lipper, Inc. ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative
          calculations using total return. Total return assumes the reinvestment of
          all capital gains distributions and income dividends and takes into
          account any change in net asset value over a specific period of time.
          From time to time, a Fund will quote its Lipper ranking in advertising
          and sales literature.

o     Consumer Price Index is generally considered to be a measure of inflation.

o     Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is an unmanaged index representing share
          prices of major industrial corporations, public utilities, and
          transportation companies. Produced by Dow Jones & Company, it is cited as
          a principal indicator of market conditions.

o     Standard & Poor's Daily Stock Price Index Of 500 Common Stocks, a composite
          index of common stocks in industry, transportation, financial, and public
          utility companies. The Standard & Poor's index assumes reinvestment of
          all dividends paid by stocks listed on the index. Taxes due on any of
          these distributions are not included, nor are brokerage or other fees
          calculated in the Standard & Poor's figures.

o     Russell 1000 Growth Index consists of those Russell 1000(R) securities with a
          greater-than-average growth orientation. Securities in this index tend to
          exhibit higher price-to-book and price-earnings ratios, lower dividend
          yields and higher forecasted growth rates.

o     Russell 1000 Value Index consists of those Russell 1000(R) securities with a
          less-than-average growth orientation. It represents the universe of
          stocks from which value managers typically select. Securities in this
          index tend to exhibit low price-to-book and price-earnings ratios, higher
          dividend yields and lower forecasted growth values than the Growth
          universe.

o     Russell 2000 Index is a broadly diversified index consisting of approximately
          2,000 small capitalization common stocks that can be used to compare to
          the total returns of funds whose portfolios are invested primarily in
          small capitalization common stocks.

o     Standard & Poor's Ratings Group Small Stock Index is a broadly diversified
          index consisting of approximately 600 small capitalization common stocks
          that can be used to compare to the total returns of funds whose
          portfolios are invested primarily in small capitalization common stocks.

o     Morningstar, Inc., an independent rating service, is the publisher of the
          bi-weekly Mutual Fund Values. Mutual Fund Values  rates more than 1,000
          NASDAQ-listed mutual funds of all types, according to their risk-adjusted
          returns. The maximum rating is five stars, and ratings are effective for
          two weeks.

o     Bank Rate Monitor National Index, Miami Beach, Florida, is a financial
          reporting service which publishes weekly average rates of 50 leading bank
          and thrift institution money market deposit accounts. The rates published
          in the index are an average of the personal account rates offered on the
          Wednesday prior to the date of publication by ten of the largest banks
          and thrifts in each of the five largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical
          Areas. Account minimums range upward from $2,500 in each institution and
          compounding methods vary. If more than one rate is offered, the lowest
          rate is used. Rates are subject to change at any time specified by the
          institution.

o     Money Fund ReportTM  (formerly, IBC Financial Data) publishes annualized yields
          of over 300 taxable money market funds on a weekly basis and through its
          Money Market Insight publication reports monthly and 12 month-to-date
          investment results for the same money funds.

o     The S&P/BARRA Value Index (Large Cap) and the S&P/BARRA Growth Index  (Large
          Cap) are constructed by Standard & Poor's and BARRA, Inc., an investment
          technology and consulting company, by separating the S&P 500 Index into
          value stocks and growth stocks.  The S&P/BARRA Growth and S&P/BARRA Value
          Indices are constructed by dividing the stocks in the S&P 500 Index
          according to their price-to-book ratios.  The S&P/BARRA Growth Index,
          contains companies with higher price-to-earnings ratios, low dividends
          yields, and high earnings growth (concentrated in electronics, computers,
          health care, and drugs).  The Value Index contains companies with lower
          price-to-book ratios and has 50% of the capitalization of the S&P 500
          Index.  These stocks tend to have lower price-to-earnings ratios, high
          dividend yields, and low historical and predicted earnings growth
          (concentrated in energy, utility and financial sectors).  The S&P/BARRA
          Value and S&P/BARRA Growth Indices are capitalization-weighted and
          rebalanced semi-annually.  Standard & Poor's/BARRA calculates these total
          return indices with dividends reinvested.

o     The S&P/BARRA Value Index (Mid-Cap) and the S&P/BARRA Growth Index (Mid-Cap)
          are designed to differentiate between fast growing companies and slower
          growing or undervalued companies. Standard & Poor's and Barra cooperate to
          employ a Price to Book value calculation, whereby the market capitalization
          of an index (S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, S&P SmallCap 600) is divided equally
          between growth and value. Companies in each U.S. index are split into two
          groups based on price-to-book ratio to create growth and value indices. The
          Value index contains companies with lower price-to-book ratios, while the
          Growth index contains those with higher ratios. The growth and value
          definition are only available on the US indices. The indices are rebalanced
          twice per year.



o     Standard & Poor's Midcap 400 Stock Price Index, a composite index of 400 common
          stocks with market capitalizations between $200 million and $7.5 billion
          in industry, transportation, financial, and public utility companies.
          The Standard & Poor's index assumes reinvestment of all dividends paid by
          stocks listed on the index.  Taxes due on any of these distributions are
          not included, nor are brokerage or other fees calculated in the Standard
          & Poor's figures.

o     Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index is an unmanaged index tracking short-term
          U.S. government securities with maturities between 1 and 2.99 years.  The
          index is produced by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc.

o     Merrill Lynch Corporate Master is an unmanaged index comprised of approximately
          4,356 corporate debt obligations rated BBB or better.  These quality
          parameters are based on the composites of ratings assigned by Standard &
          Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service.  Only bonds with a
          minimum maturity of one year are included.

o     Merrill Lynch 1-Year Treasury Bill Index is comprised of the most recently
          issued one-year U.S. Treasury bills. Index returns are calculated as
          total returns for periods of one, three, six and twelve months as well as
          year-to-date.

o     Merrill Lynch Corporate A-Rated (1-3 Year) Bond Index is a universe of
          corporate bonds and notes with maturities between 1-3 years and rated A3
          or higher.

o     Lehman Brothers Government/Credit (Total) Index is comprised of approximately
          5,000 issues which include:  non-convertible bonds publicly issued by the
          U.S. government or its agencies; corporate bonds guaranteed by the U.S.
          government and quasi-federal corporation; and publicly issued, fixed
          rate, non-convertible domestic bonds of companies in industry, public
          utilities, and finance.  The average maturity of these bonds approximates
          nine years.  Traced by Lehman Brothers, Inc., the index calculates total
          return for one-month, three-month, twelve-month, and ten-year periods and
          year-to-date.

o     Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index is a universe of
          government and corporate bonds rated BBB or higher with maturities
          between 1-10 years.

o     The Salomon Brothers Total Rate-of-Return Index for mortgage pass through
          securities reflects the entire mortgage pass through market and reflects
          their special characteristics.  The index represents data aggregated by
          mortgage pool and coupon within a given sector.  A market weighted
          portfolio is constructed considering all newly created pools and coupons.

o     The Merrill Lynch Taxable Bond Indices include U.S. Treasury and agency issues
          and were designed to keep pace with structural changes in the fixed
          income market.  The performance indicators capture all rating changes,
          new issues, and any structural changes of the entire market.

o     Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index is a universe of fixed rate
          securities backed by mortgage pools of Government National Mortgage
          Association (GNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (FHLMC), and Federal
          National Mortgage Association (FNMA).

o     Lehman Brothers Five-Year State General Obligations Bonds is an index comprised
          of all state general obligation debt issues with maturities between four
          and six years. These bonds are rated A or better and represent a variety
          of coupon ranges. Index figures are total returns calculated for one,
          three, and twelve month periods as well as year-to-date. Total returns
          are also calculated as of the index inception, December 31, 1979.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advertising and sales literature for a Fund may include discussions of economic,
financial and political developments and their effect on the securities market.
Such discussions may take the form of commentary on these developments by Fund
portfolio managers and their views and analysis on how such developments could
affect a Fund. In addition, advertising and sales literature may quote statistics
and give general information about mutual fund industry, including the growth of
the industry, from sources such as the Investment Company Institute (ICI). For
example, according to the ICI, thirty-seven percent of American households are
pursuing their financial goals through mutual funds. These investors, as well as
businesses and institutions, have entrusted over $5 trillion to the more than 7,300
mutual funds available.

APPENDIX
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STANDARD AND POOR'S BOND RATINGS
AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's. Capacity
to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA--Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher rated issues only in small degree.
A--Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although
it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances
and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.
BBB--Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category
than in higher rated categories.
NR--Indicates that no public rating has been requested, that there is insufficient
information on which to base a rating, or that Standard & Poor's does not rate a
particular type of obligation as a matter of policy.
PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-):--The ratings from AA to BBB may be modified by the addition
of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE CORPORATE BOND RATINGS
AAA--Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt edge.
Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and
principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change,
such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.
Aa--Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may
not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be
of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long
term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
A--Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
Baa--Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements
may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have
speculative characteristics as well.
NR--Not rated by Moody's.
FITCH IBCA, INC. LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS
AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality. The
obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay principal,
which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.
AA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although not
quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA
categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,
short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.
A--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong,
but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.
BBB--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality.
The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are
more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds, and therefore, impair timely
payment.
NR--NR indicates that Fitch does not rate the specific issue.

STANDARD AND POOR'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
A-1--This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment
is either overwhelming or very strong. The issues determined to possess
overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
A-2--Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is strong.
However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
P-1--Issuers rated PRIME-1 (for related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. PRIME-1 repayment
capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics: conservative
capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset
protection; broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high
internal cash generation; and well-established access to a range of financial
markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
P-2--Issuers rated PRIME-2 (for related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally be
evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
FITCH IBCA, INC. SHORT-TERM RATINGS
F-1+--(Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality). Issues assigned this rating are
regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.
F-1--(Very Strong Credit Quality). Issues assigned to this rating reflect an
assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than issues rated F-1+.
F-2--(Good Credit Quality). Issues carrying this rating have a satisfactory degree
of assurance for timely payment but the margin of safety is not as great as the
F-1+ and F-1 categories.
STANDARD AND POOR'S MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS
AAA -- Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA -- Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher rated issues only in small degree.
A -- Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.
BBB- Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category
than in higher-rated categories.
NR -- NR indicates that no public rating has been requested, that there is
insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that Standard & Poor's does
not rate a particular type of obligation as a matter of policy.
Plus (+) or minus (-): The ratings AA and A may be modified by the addition of a
plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS
Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt edge.
Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and
principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change,
such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.
Aa -- Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may
not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be
of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long
term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
A -- Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.
Baa- Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations (i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured). Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements
may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have
speculative characteristics as well.
NR -- Not rated by Moody's.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2 and 3 in the generic rating
classification of Aa and A in its corporate or municipal bond rating system. The
modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its generic
rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3
indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category.
STANDARD AND POOR'S MUNICIPAL NOTE RATINGS
SP-1 -- Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a plus (+)
designation.
SP-2 -- Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE SHORT-TERM DEBT RATINGS
MIG1/VMIG1 -- This designation denotes best quality. There is a present strong
protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or demonstrated
broad based access to the market for refinancing.
MIG2/VMIG2 -- This designation denotes high quality. Margins of protection are
ample although not so large as in the preceding group.

HOW ARE THE MARSHALL FUNDS ORGANIZED?

Marshall Funds, Inc. (Corporation) is an open-end, management investment company
that was established as a Wisconsin corporation on July 31, 1992.

The Fund is a diversified portfolio of the Corporation. The Corporation may offer
separate series of shares representing interests in separate portfolios of
securities, and the shares in any one portfolio may be offered in separate classes.
This Statement contains additional information about the Corporation and the Fund.
This Statement uses the same terms as defined in the prospectus.
The definitions of the terms series and class in the Wisconsin Business Corporation
Law, Chapter 180 of the Wisconsin Statutes (WBCL) differ from the meanings assigned
to those terms in the prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information. The
Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation reconcile this inconsistency in
terminology, and provide that the prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
may define these terms consistently with the use of those terms under the WBCL and
the Internal Revenue Code.

1. The Fund may invest in Asset-Backed Securities rated, at the time of purchase, in
the top four rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization (NRSRO) (securities rated AAA, AA, A or BBB by Standard & Poor's (S&P)
and Fitch IBCA, Inc. (Fitch) and Aaa, Aa, A or Baa by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. (Moody's)) or if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable
quality.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. The Fund may purchase foreign Bank Instruments without limit.
3. The Fund may borrow money to purchase securities, a strategy that involves
purchasing securities in amounts that exceed the amount it has invested in the
underlying securities.  The excess exposure increases the risks associated with the
underlying securities and tends to exaggerate the effect of changes in the value of
its portfolio securities and consequently on the Fund's net asset value. The Fund
may pledge more than 5% of its total assets to secure such borrowings.
4. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in illiquid securities.
5. The Fund may purchase commercial paper rated in the two highest rating categories
by an NRSRO or, if unrated determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
6. Must be issued by U.S. corporations and rated in the top four categories by an
NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS, TECHNIQUES AND RISKS

As used in this section, the term Adviser means Adviser or Sub-adviser, as
applicable.
Asset-Backed Securities are issued by non-governmental entities and carry no direct
or indirect government guarantee. Asset-Backed Securities represent an interest in a
pool of assets such as car loans and credit card receivables. Almost any type of
fixed income asset (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create
an asset backed security. However, most asset-backed securities involve consumer or
commercial debts with maturities of less than ten years. Asset-backed securities may
take the form of commercial paper or notes, in addition to pass through certificates
or asset-backed bonds. Asset backed securities may also resemble some types of CMOs.
Payments on asset-backed securities depend upon assets held by the issuer  and
collections of the underlying loans. The value of these securities depends on many
factors, including changing interest rates, the availability of information about
the pool and its structure, the credit quality of the underlying assets, the
market's perception of the servicer of the pool, and any credit enhancement provided.
Also, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.
Bank Instruments. Bank Instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with
banks. Bank Instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of
deposit and banker's acceptances. Instruments denominated in U.S. dollars and issued
by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks are commonly referred to as Eurodollar
instruments. Instruments denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S. branches of
foreign banks are referred to as Yankee instruments.

The Fund will invest in bank instruments that have been issued by banks and savings
and loans that have capital, surplus and undivided profits of over $100 million or
whose principal amount is insured by the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings
Association Insurance Fund, which are administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. Securities that are credit-enhanced with a bank's irrevocable letter of
credit or unconditional guaranty will also be treated as Bank Instruments.

     Foreign Bank Instruments.  Eurodollar Certificates of Deposit (ECDs), Yankee
     Certificates of Deposit (YCDs) and Eurodollar Time Deposits (ETDs) are all U.S.
     dollar denominated certificates of deposit.  ECDs are issued by, and ETDs are
     deposits of, foreign banks or foreign branches of U.S. banks.  YCDs are issued
     in the U.S. by branches and agencies of foreign banks.

     ECDs, ETDs, YCDs, and Europaper have many of the same risks of other foreign
     securities.  Examples of these risks include economic and political
     developments, that may adversely affect the payment of principal or interest,
     foreign withholding or other taxes on interest income, difficulties in
     obtaining or enforcing a judgment against the issuing bank and the possible
     impact of interruptions in the flow of international currency transactions.
     Also, the issuing banks or their branches are not necessarily subject to the
     same regulatory requirements that apply to domestic banks, such as reserve
     requirements, loan limitations, examinations, accounting, auditing, and
     recordkeeping, and the public availability of information.  These factors will
     be carefully considered by the Adviser in selecting these investments.

Borrowing. The Fund may borrow money from banks or through reverse repurchase
agreements in amounts up to one-third of total assets and pledge some assets as
collateral.  When the Fund borrows it will pay interest on borrowed money and may
incur other transaction costs.  These expenses could exceed the income received or
capital appreciation realized by the Fund from any securities purchased with
borrowed money.  With respect to borrowings, the Fund is required to maintain
continuous asset coverage of 300% of the amount borrowed.  If the coverage declines
to less than 300%, the Fund must sell sufficient portfolio securities to restore the
coverage even if it must sell the securities at a loss.

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

To compensate for the value of the conversion option, convertible securities have
lower yields than comparable fixed income securities. In addition, the conversion
price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities at the time a
convertible security is issued. Thus, convertible securities may provide lower
returns than non-convertible fixed income securities or equity securities depending
upon changes in the price of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible
securities permit the Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the
underlying equity securities with less risk of losing its initial investment.

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

Commercial Paper and Restricted and Illiquid Securities. Commercial paper is an
issuer's draft or note with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies typically
issue commercial paper to fund current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue
their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper.
Commercial paper may default if the issuer cannot continue to obtain financing in
this fashion. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and
credit risk as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.
The Fund may invest in commercial paper issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933.  By law, the sale of Section 4(2) commercial paper is restricted and is
generally sold only to institutional investors, such as the Fund.  A Fund purchasing
Section 4(2) commercial paper must agree to purchase the paper for investment
purposes only and not with a view to public distribution.  Section 4(2) commercial
paper is normally resold to other institutional investors through investment dealers
who make a market in Section 4(2) commercial paper, thus providing liquidity.
The Fund believes that Section 4(2) commercial paper and certain other restricted
securities which meet the Directors' criteria for liquidity are quite liquid.
Section 4(2) commercial paper and  restricted securities which are deemed liquid,
will not be subject to the investment limitation.  In addition, because Section 4(2)
commercial paper is liquid, the Fund intends to not subject such paper to the
limitation applicable to restricted securities.
Depositary Receipts. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are receipts, issued by a
U.S. bank, that represent an interest in shares of a foreign-based corporation.
ADRs provide a way to buy shares of foreign-based companies in the U.S. rather than
in overseas markets.  European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary
Receipts (GDRs) are receipts, issued by foreign banks or trust companies, or foreign
branches of U.S. banks, that represent an interest in shares of either a foreign or
U.S. corporation.  Depositary Receipts may not be denominated in the same currency
as the underlying securities into which they may be converted, and are subject to
currency risks.  Depositary Receipts involves many of the same risks of investing
directly in foreign securities.

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

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

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

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

Depending upon how the Fund uses derivative  contracts and the  relationships  between
the  market  value of a  derivative  contract  and the  underlying  asset,  derivative
contracts may increase or decrease the Fund's  exposure to market and currency  risks,
and may also expose the Fund to  liquidity  and leverage  risks.  OTC  contracts  also
expose  the Fund to credit  risks in the event  that a  counterparty  defaults  on the
contract.
Equity  Securities  are  the  fundamental  unit  of  ownership  in  a  company.   They
represent  a share of the  issuer's  earnings  and  assets,  after the issuer pays its
liabilities.  Generally,  issuers have  discretion  as to the payment of any dividends
or distributions.  As a result,  investors cannot predict the income they will receive
from equity  securities.  However,  equity  securities  offer  greater  potential  for
appreciation  than many other  types of  securities,  because  their  value  increases
directly with the value of the issuer's  business.  The following  describes the types
of equity securities in which the Fund invests.
   Common Stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security.  Common  stockholders
   are  entitled  to the net  value of the  issuer's  earnings  and  assets  after the
   issuer pays its creditors and any preferred  stockholders.  As a result, changes in
   an issuer's earnings directly influence the value of its common stock.
   Preferred  Stocks have the right to receive  specified  dividends or  distributions
   before the payment of dividends or  distributions  on common stock.  Some preferred
   stocks also  participate  in  dividends  and  distributions  paid on common  stock.
   Preferred  stocks may  provide  for the  issuer to redeem the stock on a  specified
   date.  The  Fund may  treat  such  redeemable  preferred  stock  as a fixed  income
   security.
   Warrants  provide an option to buy the issuer's  stock or other  equity  securities
   at a  specified  price.  If the Fund  holds a  warrant,  it may buy the  designated
   shares by paying the  exercise  price  before the  warrant  expires.  Warrants  may
   become  worthless if the price of the stock does not rise above the exercise  price
   by the stated  expiration  date.  Rights are the same as warrants,  except they are
   typically issued to existing stockholders.
Fixed Income Securities. Fixed income securities generally pay interest at either a
fixed or floating rate and provide more regular income than equity securities.
However, the returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not
increase with the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed
income securities as compared to equity securities. Fixed rate securities and
floating rate securities react differently as prevailing interest rates change.

     Fixed Rate Debt Securities.  Debt securities that pay a fixed interest rate
     over the life of the security and have a long-term maturity may have many
     characteristics of short-term debt.  For example, the market may treat fixed
     rate/long-term securities as short-term debt when a security's market price is
     close to the call or redemption price, or if the security is approaching its
     maturity date when the issuer is more likely to call or redeem the debt.

     As interest rates change, the market prices of fixed rate debt securities are
     generally more volatile than the prices of floating rate debt securities.  As
     interest rates rise, the prices of fixed rate debt securities fall, and as
     interest rates fall, the prices of fixed rate debt securities rise.  For
     example, a bond that pays a fixed interest rate of 10% is more valuable to
     investors when prevailing interest rates are lower; therefore, this value is
     reflected in higher price, or a premium.  Conversely, if interest rates are
     over 10%, the bond is less attractive to investors, and sells at a lower price,
     or a discount.

     Floating Rate Debt Securities.  The interest rate paid on floating rate debt
     securities is reset periodically (e.g., every 90 days) to a predetermined index
     rate.  Commonly used indices include:  90-day or 180-day Treasury bill rate;
     one month or three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR); commercial
     paper rates; or the prime rate of interest of a bank.  The prices of floating
     rate debt securities are not as sensitive to changes in interest rates as fixed
     rate debt securities because they behave like shorter-term securities and their
     interest rate is reset periodically.

Foreign Currency Transactions. Foreign currency transactions are generally used to
obtain foreign currencies to settle securities transactions.  They can also be used
as a hedge to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange
rates or regulations.  When the Fund uses foreign currency exchanges as a hedge, it
may also limit potential gain that could result from an increase in the value of
such currencies.  The Fund may be affected either favorably or unfavorably by
fluctuations in the relative rates of exchange between the currencies of different
nations.

      Foreign Currency Hedging Transactions. Foreign currency hedging transactions
      are used to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks.  These
      transactions include:  forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign
      currency futures contracts, and purchasing put or call options on foreign
      currencies.
      Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts (Forward Contracts) are used to
      minimize the risks associated with changes in the relationship between the
      U.S. dollar and foreign currencies.  They are used to lock in the U.S. dollar
      price of a foreign security.  A Forward Contract is a commitment to purchase
      or sell a specific currency for an agreed price at a future date.
      If the Adviser believes a foreign currency will decline against the U.S.
      dollar, a Forward Contract may be used to sell an amount of the foreign
      currency approximating the value of the Fund's security that is denominated in
      the foreign currency. The success of this hedging strategy is highly uncertain
      due to the difficulties of predicting the values of foreign currencies, of
      precisely matching Forward Contract amounts, and because the constantly
      changing value of the securities involved. The Fund will not enter into
      Forward Contracts for hedging purposes in a particular currency in an amount
      in excess of the Fund's assets denominated in that currency.  Conversely, if
      the Adviser believes that the U.S. dollar will decline against a foreign
      currency, a Forward Contract may be used to buy that foreign currency for a
      fixed dollar amount, otherwise known as cross-hedging.
      In these transactions, the Fund will segregate assets with a market value
      equal to the amount of the foreign currency purchased.  Therefore, the Fund
      will always have cash, cash equivalents or high quality debt securities
      available to cover Forward Contracts or to limit any potential risk.  The
      segregated assets will be priced daily.
      Forward Contracts may limit potential gain from a positive change in the
      relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies.  Unanticipated
      changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for the
      Fund than if it had not engaged in such contracts.
      Purchasing and Writing Put and Call Options on foreign currencies are used to
      protect the Fund's portfolio against declines in the U.S. dollar value of
      foreign portfolio securities and against increases in the dollar cost of
      foreign securities to be acquired.  Writing an option on foreign currency
      constitutes only a partial hedge, up to the amount of the premium received.
      The Fund could lose money if it is required to purchase or sell foreign
      currencies at disadvantageous exchange rates.  If exchange rate movements are
      adverse to the Fund's position, the Fund may forfeit the entire amount of the
      premium plus related transaction costs.  These options are traded on U.S. and
      foreign exchanges or over-the-counter.
Exchange-Traded Futures Contracts are used for the purchase or sale of foreign
currencies (Foreign Currency Futures) and will be used to hedge against anticipated
changes in exchange rates that might adversely affect the value of the Fund's
portfolio securities or the prices of securities that the Fund intends to purchase
in the future. The successful use of Foreign Currency Futures depends on the ability
to forecast currency exchange rate movements correctly. Should exchange rates move
in an unexpected manner, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of
Foreign Currency Futures or may realize losses.
Futures and Options Transactions.  As a means of reducing fluctuations in its net
asset value, the Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and options on futures
contracts, and buy put and call options on portfolio securities and securities
indices to hedge its portfolio. The Fund may also write covered put and call options
on portfolio securities to attempt to increase its current income or to hedge its
portfolio.  There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any
particular futures contract or option at any particular time. The Fund's ability to
establish and close out futures and options positions depends on this secondary
market.
     Futures Contracts.  A futures contract is a commitment by two parties under
     which one party agrees to make delivery of an asset (seller) and another party
     agrees to take delivery of the asset at a certain time in the future.  A
     futures contract may involve a variety of assets including commodities (such as
     oil, wheat, or corn) or a financial asset (such as a security). The Fund may
     purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against anticipated
     changes in the value of its portfolio without necessarily buying or selling the
     securities. Although some financial futures contracts call for making or taking
     delivery of the underlying securities, in most cases these obligations are
     closed out before the settlement date. The closing of a futures contract is
     accomplished by purchasing or selling an identical offsetting futures contract.
     Other financial futures contracts call for cash settlements.
     The Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures contracts to hedge against
     anticipated price changes with respect to any stock index traded on a
     recognized stock exchange or board of trade. A stock index futures contract is
     an agreement in which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount
     of cash equal to the difference between the price of the original contract and
     the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract. No
     physical delivery of the underlying securities in the index is made. Settlement
     is made in cash upon termination of the contract.

     Margin In Futures Transactions. Since the Fund does not pay or receive money
     upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract, it is required to deposit an
     amount of initial margin in cash, U.S. government securities or highly-liquid
     debt securities as a good faith deposit. The margin is returned to the Fund
     upon termination of the contract. Initial margin in futures transactions does
     not involve borrowing to finance the transactions.
     As the value of the underlying futures contract changes daily, the Fund pays or
     receives cash, called variation margin, equal to the daily change in value of
     the futures contract. This process is known as marking to market. Variation
     margin does not represent a borrowing or loan by the Fund.  It may be viewed as
     settlement between the Fund and the broker of the amount one would owe the
     other if the futures contract expired. When the Fund purchases futures
     contracts, an amount of cash and/or cash equivalents, equal to the underlying
     commodity value of the futures contracts (less any related margin deposits),
     will be deposited in a segregated account with the Fund's custodian to
     collateralize the position and insure that the use of futures contracts is
     unleveraged. The Fund is also required to deposit and maintain margin when it
     writes call options on futures contracts.
     The Fund will not enter into a futures contract or purchase an option thereon
     for other than hedging purposes if immediately thereafter the initial margin
     deposits for futures contracts held by it, plus premiums paid by it for open
     options on futures contracts, would exceed 5% of the market value of its net
     assets, after taking into account the unrealized profits and losses on those
     contracts it has entered into.  However, in the case of an option that is
     in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money amount may be excluded
     in computing such 5%.
     Put Options on Financial and Stock Index Futures Contracts.  The Fund may
     purchase listed put options on financial and stock index futures contracts to
     protect portfolio securities against decreases in value. Unlike entering
     directly into a futures contract, which requires the purchaser to buy a
     financial instrument on a set date at a specified price, the purchase of a put
     option on a futures contract entitles (but does not obligate) its purchaser to
     decide on or before a future date whether to assume a short position at the
     specified price.
     Generally, if the hedged portfolio securities decrease in value during the term
     of an option, the related futures contracts will also decrease in value and the
     option will increase in value. In such an event, the Fund will normally close
     out its option by selling an identical option. If the hedge is successful, the
     proceeds received by the Fund upon the sale of the second option will be large
     enough to offset both the premium paid by the Fund for the original option plus
     the decrease in value of the hedged securities.
     Alternatively, the Fund may exercise its put option to close out the position.
     To do so, it would simultaneously enter into a futures contract of the type
     underlying the option (for a price less than the strike price of the option)
     and exercise the option. The Fund would then deliver the futures contract in
     return for payment of the strike price. If the Fund neither closes out nor
     exercises an option, the option will expire on the date provided in the option
     contract, and only the premium paid for the contract will be lost.
     The Fund may also write (sell) listed put options on financial or stock index
     futures contracts to hedge its portfolio against a decrease in market interest
     rates or an increase in stock prices.  The Fund will use these transactions to
     purchase portfolio securities in the future at price levels existing at the
     time it enters into the transaction.  When the Fund sells a put on a futures
     contract, it receives a cash premium in exchange for granting to the buyer of
     the put the right to receive from the Fund, at the strike price, a short
     position in such futures contract. This is so even though the strike price upon
     exercise of the option is greater than the value of the futures position
     received by such holder. As market interest rates decrease or stock prices
     increase, the market price of the underlying futures contract normally
     increases.  When the underlying futures contract increases, the buyer of the
     put option has less reason to exercise the put because the buyer can sell the
     same futures contract at a higher price in the market.  If the value of the
     underlying futures position is not such that exercise of the option would be
     profitable to the option holder, the option will generally expire without being
     exercised. The premium received by the Fund can then be used to offset the
     higher prices of portfolio securities to be purchased in the future.
     In order to avoid the exercise of an option sold by it, generally the Fund will
     cancel its obligation under the option by entering into a closing purchase
     transaction, unless it is determined to be in the Fund's interest to deliver
     the underlying futures position. A closing purchase transaction consists of the
     purchase by the Fund of an option having the same term as the option sold by
     the Fund, and has the effect of canceling the Fund's position as a seller. The
     premium which the Fund will pay in executing a closing purchase transaction may
     be higher than the premium received when the option was sold, depending in
     large part upon the relative price of the underlying futures position at the
     time of each transaction.  If the hedge is successful, the cost of buying the
     second option will be less than the premium received by the Fund for the
     initial option.
     Call Options on Financial and Stock Index Futures Contracts.  The Fund may
     write (sell) listed and over-the-counter call options on financial and stock
     index futures contracts to hedge its portfolio. When the Fund writes a call
     option on a futures contract, it undertakes to sell a futures contract at the
     fixed price at any time during the life of the option. As stock prices fall or
     market interest rates rise, causing the prices of futures to go down, the
     Fund's obligation to sell a futures contract costs less to fulfill, causing the
     value of the Fund's call option position to increase.  In other words, as the
     underlying futures price goes down below the strike price, the buyer of the
     option has no reason to exercise the call, so that the Fund keeps the premium
     received for the option. This premium can substantially offset the drop in
     value of the Fund's portfolio securities.
     Prior to the expiration of a call written by the Fund, or exercise of it by the
     buyer, the Fund may close out the option by buying an identical option. If the
     hedge is successful, the cost of the second option will be less than the
     premium received by the Fund for the initial option. The net premium income of
     the Fund will then substantially offset the decrease in value of the hedged
     securities.
     The Fund may buy a listed call option on a financial or stock index futures
     contract to hedge against decreases in market interest rates or increases in
     stock price.  The Fund will use these transactions to purchase portfolio
     securities in the future at price levels existing at the time it enters into
     the transaction.  When the Fund purchases a call on a financial futures
     contract, it receives in exchange for the payment of a cash premium the right,
     but not the obligation, to enter into the underlying futures contract at a
     strike price determined at the time the call was purchased, regardless of the
     comparative market value of such futures position at the time the option is
     exercised. The holder of a call option has the right to receive a long (or
     buyer's) position in the underlying futures contract.  As market interest rates
     fall or stock prices increase, the value of the underlying futures contract
     will normally increase, resulting in an increase in value of the Fund's option
     position.  When the market price of the underlying futures contract increases
     above the strike price plus premium paid, the Fund could exercise its option
     and buy the futures contract below market price.  Prior to the exercise or
     expiration of the call option, the Fund could sell an identical call option and
     close out its position.  If the premium received upon selling the offsetting
     call is greater than the premium originally paid, the Fund has completed a
     successful hedge.
     Limitation on Open Futures Positions.  The Fund will not maintain open
     positions in futures contracts it has sold or call options it has written on
     futures contracts if together the value of the open positions exceeds the
     current market value of the Fund's portfolio plus or minus the unrealized gain
     or loss on those open positions, adjusted for the correlation of volatility
     between the hedged securities and the futures contracts. If this limitation is
     exceeded at any time, the Fund will take prompt action to close out a
     sufficient number of open contracts to bring its open futures and options
     positions within this limitation.
     Purchasing Put and Call Options on Securities.  The Fund may purchase put
     options on portfolio securities to protect against price movements in the
     Fund's portfolio. A put option gives the Fund, in return for a premium, the
     right to sell the underlying security to the writer (seller) at a specified
     price during the term of the option.  The Fund may purchase call options on
     securities acceptable for purchase to protect against price movements by
     locking in on a purchase price for the underlying security.  A call option
     gives the Fund, in return for a premium, the right to buy the underlying
     security from the seller at a specified price during the term of the option.
     Writing Covered Call and Put Options on Securities.  The Fund may write covered
     call and put options to generate income and thereby protect against price
     movements in the Fund's portfolio securities. As writer of a call option, the
     Fund has the obligation, upon exercise of the option during the option period,
     to deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price. The Fund
     may only sell call options either on securities held in its portfolio or on
     securities which it has the right to obtain without payment of further
     consideration (or has segregated cash or U.S. government securities in the
     amount of any additional consideration).  As a writer of a put option, the Fund
     has the obligation to purchase a security from the purchaser of the option upon
     the exercise of the option.  In the case of put options, the Fund will
     segregate cash or U.S. Treasury obligations with a value equal to or greater
     than the exercise price of the underlying securities.
     Stock Index Options.  The Fund may purchase or sell put or call options on
     stock indices listed on national securities exchanges or traded in the
     over-the-counter market.  A stock index fluctuates with changes in the market
     values of the stocks included in the index.  Upon the exercise of the option,
     the holder of a call option has the right to receive, and the writer of a put
     option has the obligation to deliver, a cash payment equal to the difference
     between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option.
     The effectiveness of purchasing stock index options will depend upon the extent
     to which price movements in the Fund's portfolio correlate with price movements
     of the stock index selected.  The value of an index option depends upon
     movements in the level of the index rather than the price of a particular
     stock.  Accordingly, successful use by the Fund of options on stock indices
     will be subject to the Adviser correctly predicting movements in the directions
     of the stock market generally or of a particular industry.  This requires
     different skills and techniques than predicting changes in the price of
     individual stocks.
     Over-the-Counter Options.  Over-the-counter options are two-party contracts
     with price and terms negotiated between buyer and seller.  In contrast,
     exchange-traded options are third-party contracts with standardized strike
     prices and expiration dates and are purchased from a clearing corporation.
     Exchange-traded options have a continuous liquid market while over-the-counter
     options may not.  The Fund may generally purchase and write over-the-counter
     options on portfolio securities or securities indices in negotiated
     transactions with the buyers or writers of the options when options on the
     Fund's portfolio securities or securities indices are not traded on an
     exchange.  The Fund purchases and writes options only with investment dealers
     and other financial institutions deemed creditworthy by Adviser.
     Risks.  When the Fund uses futures and options on futures as hedging devices,
     there is a risk that the prices of the securities or foreign currency subject
     to the futures contracts may not correlate perfectly with the prices of the
     securities or currency in the Fund's portfolio.  This may cause the futures
     contract and any related options to react differently to market changes than
     the portfolio securities or foreign currency.  In addition, the Adviser could
     be incorrect in its expectations about the direction or extent of market
     factors such as stock price movements or foreign currency exchange rate
     fluctuations.  In these events, the Fund may lose money on the futures contract
     or option.
     When the Fund purchases futures contracts, an amount of cash and cash
     equivalents, equal to the underlying commodity value of the futures contracts
     (less any related margin deposits), will be deposited in a segregated account
     with the Fund's custodian or the broker, to collateralize the position and
     thereby insure that the use of such futures contract is unleveraged.  When the
     Fund sells futures contracts, it will either own or have the right to receive
     the underlying future or security, or will make deposits to collateralize the
     position as discussed above.
Lending of Portfolio Securities.  In order to generate additional income, the Fund
may lend portfolio securities.  When the Fund lends portfolio securities, it will
receive either cash or liquid securities as collateral from the borrower.  The Fund
will reinvest cash collateral in short-term liquid securities that qualify as an
otherwise acceptable investment for the Fund.  If the market value of the loaned
securities increases, the borrower must furnish additional collateral to the Fund.
During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays the Fund any
dividends or interest paid on such securities. Loans are subject to termination at
the option of the Fund or the borrower. The Fund may pay reasonable administrative
and custodial fees in connection with a loan and may pay a negotiated portion of the
interest earned on the cash or equivalent collateral to a securities lending agent
or broker. The Fund currently lends its portfolio securities through Marshall &
Ilsley Trust Company (M&I Trust Company), as agent. The Fund and M&I Trust Company
have received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits M&I
Trust Company to charge, and the Fund to pay, market-based compensation for M&I
Trust Company's services as securities lending agent.
    Securities Lending Risks. When the Fund lends its portfolio securities, it may not be
                               able to get them back from the borrower on a timely basis.
                               If this occurs, the Fund may lose certain investment
                               opportunities. The Fund is also subject to the risks
                               associated with the investments of cash collateral, usually
                               fixed-income securities risk.
Mortgage-Backed  Securities represent interests in pools of mortgages.  The underlying
mortgages   normally  have  similar  interest  rates,   maturities  and  other  terms.
Mortgages  may  have  fixed  or  adjustable  interest  rates.  Interests  in  pools of
adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.
Mortgage-backed   securities  come  in  a  variety  of  forms.   Many  have  extremely
complicated   terms.   The  simplest   form  of   mortgage-backed   securities   is  a
"pass-through  certificate."  Holders of pass-through  certificates receive a pro rata
share of the payments from the underlying  mortgages.  Holders also receive a pro rata
share of any  prepayments,  so they assume all the  prepayment  risk of the underlying
mortgages.
Collateralized  mortgage obligations (CMOs) are complicated  instruments that allocate
payments and prepayments  from an underlying  pass-through  certificate  among holders
of  different   classes  of   mortgage-backed   securities.   This  creates  different
prepayment and market risks for each CMO class.
In addition, CMOs may allocate interest payments to one class (IOs) and principal
payments to another class (POs). POs increase in value when prepayment rates
increase. In contrast, IOs decrease in value when prepayments increase, because the
underlying mortgages generate less interest payments. However, IOs prices tend to
increase when interest rates rise (and prepayments fall), making IOs a useful hedge
against market risk.
Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time without
penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance high rate mortgages when mortgage rates
fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage-backed securities, which deprives
holders of the securities of the higher yields. Conversely, when mortgage rates
increase, prepayments due to refinancings decline. This extends the life of
mortgage-backed securities with lower yields. As a result, increases in prepayments
of premium mortgage-backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of discount
mortgage-backed securities, may reduce their yield and price.
This relationship between interest rates and mortgage prepayments makes the price of
mortgage-backed securities more volatile than most other types of fixed income
securities with comparable credit risks. Mortgage-backed securities tend to pay
higher yields to compensate for this volatility.
CMOs may include planned amortization classes (PACs) and targeted amortization
classes (TACs). PACs and TACs are issued with companion classes. PACs and TACs
receive principal payments and prepayments at a specified rate. The companion
classes receive principal payments and any prepayments in excess of this rate. In
addition, PACs will receive the companion classes' share of principal payments if
necessary to cover a shortfall in the prepayment rate. This helps PACs and TACs to
control prepayment risk by increasing the risk to their companion classes.
Another variant allocates interest payments between two classes of CMOs. One class
(Floaters) receives a share of interest payments based upon a market index such as
LIBOR. The other class (Inverse Floaters) receives any remaining interest payments
from the underlying mortgages. Floater classes receive more interest (and Inverse
Floater classes receive correspondingly less interest) as interest rates rise. This
shifts prepayment and market risks from the Floater to the Inverse Floater class,
reducing the price volatility of Floater class and increasing the price volatility
of the Inverse Floater class.
CMOs must allocate all payments received from the underlying mortgages to some
class. To capture any unallocated payments, CMOs generally have an accrual (Z)
class. Z classes do not receive any payments from the underlying mortgages until all
other CMO classes have been paid off. Once this happens, holders of Z class CMOs
receive all payments and prepayments. Similarly, real estate mortgage investment
conduits (REMICs) (offerings of multiple class mortgage backed securities  which
qualify and elect treatment as such under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code)
have residual interests that receive any mortgage payments not allocated to another
REMIC class.
The degree of increased or decreased prepayment risk depends upon the structure of
the CMOs. Z classes, IOs, POs, and Inverse Floaters are among the most volatile
investment grade fixed income securities currently traded in the United States.
However, the actual returns on any type of mortgage backed security depends upon the
performance of the underlying pool of mortgages, which no one can predict and will
vary among pools.
Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. A repurchase agreement is a
transaction in which the Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to
sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase
price exceeds the sale price, reflecting an agreed upon interest rate effective for
the period the buyer owns the security subject to repurchase. The agreed upon
interest rate is unrelated to the interest rate on that security. The Adviser will
continually monitor the value of the underlying security to ensure that the value of
the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price. The Fund's custodian is
required to take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements.
These securities are marked to market daily. To the extent that the original seller
defaults and does not repurchase the securities from the Fund, the Fund could
receive less than the repurchase price on any sale of such securities. In the event
that such a defaulting seller files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, disposition
of such securities by the Fund might be delayed pending court action. The Fund
believes that, under the procedures normally in effect for custody of the portfolio
securities subject to repurchase agreements, a court of competent jurisdiction would
rule in favor of the Fund and allow retention or disposition of such securities. The
Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized
financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Adviser to
be creditworthy.
Reverse repurchase agreement transactions are similar to borrowing cash. In a
reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells a portfolio security to another person,
such as a financial institution, broker, or dealer, in return for a percentage of
the instrument's market value in cash, and agrees that on a stipulated date in the
future the Fund will repurchase the portfolio at a price equal to the original sale
price plus interest. The Fund may use reverse repurchase agreements for liquidity
and may enable the Fund to avoid selling portfolio instruments at a time when a sale
may be deemed to be disadvantageous.
When effecting reverse repurchase agreements, liquid assets of the Fund, in a dollar
amount sufficient to make payment for the obligations to be purchased, are
segregated at the trade date. These securities are marked to market daily and
maintained until the transaction is settled.
Swap Transactions.  In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange
(SWAP) the returns (or differentials in rates of return) on particular securities,
which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The returns to be swapped are
generally calculated with respect to a return on a notional dollar amount invested
at a particular interest rate, or in a basket of securities representing a
particular index. For example, a $10 million LIBOR swap would require one party to
pay the equivalent of the London Interbank Offer Rate on $10 million principal
amount in exchange for the right to receive the equivalent of a fixed rate of
interest on $10 million principal amount. Neither party to the swap would actually
advance $10 million to the other.
The Fund will usually enter into swaps on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams
are netted out), with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net
amount of the two payments. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's
obligations over its entitlements with respect to each interest rate swap will be
accrued on a daily basis, and the Fund will segregate liquid assets in an aggregate
net asset value at least equal to the accrued excess, if any, on each business day.
If the Fund enters into a swap on other than a net basis, the Fund will segregate
liquid assets in the full amount accrued on a daily basis of the Fund's obligations
with respect to the swap. If there is a default by the other party to such a
transaction, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements
related to the transaction.
The Fund expects to enter into swap transactions primarily to hedge against changes
in the price of other portfolio securities. For example, the Fund may hedge against
changes in the market value of a fixed rate security by entering into a swap that
requires the Fund to pay the same or a lower fixed rate of interest on a notional
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the security in exchange for a
variable rate of interest based on a market index. Interest accrued on the hedged
note would then equal or exceed the Fund's obligations under the swap, while changes
in the market value of the swap would largely offset any changes in the market value
of the note. The Fund may also enter into swaps to preserve or enhance a return or
spread on a portfolio security.  The Fund does not intend to use these transactions
in a speculative manner.
The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of banks
and investment banking firms acting both as principals and agents utilizing
standardized swap documentation. The Adviser has determined that, as a result, the
swap market has become relatively liquid. Interest rate caps and floors are more
recent innovations for which standardized documentation has not  yet been developed
and, accordingly, they are less liquid than other swaps. To the extent swaps, caps
or floors are determined by the Adviser to be illiquid, they will be included in the
Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid securities. To the extent the Fund
sells caps and floors, it will maintain in a segregated account liquid securities
having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the full amount, accrued on a
daily basis, of the Fund's obligations with respect to caps and floors.
The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment
techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio
securities transactions. If the Adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of market
values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of
the Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if these investment
techniques were not utilized. Moreover, even if the Adviser is correct in its
forecasts, there is a risk that the swap position may correlate imperfectly with the
price of the portfolio security being hedged.
Swap transactions do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying
assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to a default on an
interest rate swap is limited to the net asset value of the swap together with the
net amount of interest payments owed to the Fund by the defaulting party. A default
on a portfolio security hedged by an interest rate swap would also expose the Fund
to the risk of having to cover its net obligations under the swap with income from
other portfolio securities.
Temporary Investments. There may be times when market conditions warrant a defensive
position. During these market conditions the Fund may temporarily invest without
limit in short-term debt obligations (money market instruments). These investments
include commercial paper, bank instruments, U.S. government obligations, repurchase
agreements, securities of other investment companies, and foreign securities. The
Fund's temporary investments must be of comparable quality to its primary
investments.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions.  These transactions are made to
secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield.  Settlement dates
may be a month or more after entering into these transactions, and the market values
of the securities purchased may vary from the purchase prices.  Other than normal
transaction costs, no fees or expenses are incurred.  However, liquid assets of the
Fund are segregated on the Fund's records at the trade date in an amount sufficient
to make payment for the securities to be purchased.  These assets are marked to
market daily and are maintained until the transaction has been settled.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund's investment objective is to provide capital appreciation.  The investment
objective of the Fund may not be changed by the Fund's Board without shareholder
approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS
The following investment limitations are fundamental and cannot be changed unless
authorized by the "majority of its outstanding voting securities" of the Fund, as
defined by the Investment Company Act.
Selling Short and Buying on Margin
The Fund will not sell any securities short or purchase any securities on margin,
but may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for clearance of
purchases and sales of portfolio securities. A deposit or payment by the Fund of
initial or variation margin in connection with futures contracts, forward contracts
or related options transactions is not considered the purchase of a security on
margin.
Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money
The Fund will not issue senior securities except that the Fund may borrow money,
directly or through reverse repurchase agreements, in amounts up to one-third of the
value of its total assets including the amounts borrowed; and except to the extent
that the Fund is permitted to enter into futures contracts, options or forward
contracts.
Pledging Assets
The Fund will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any assets except to secure
permitted borrowings. In those cases, the Fund may pledge assets having a market
value not exceeding the lesser of the dollar amounts borrowed or 15% of the value of
its total assets at the time of the pledge. For purposes of this limitation, the
following are not deemed to be pledges: margin deposits for the purchase and sale of
futures contracts and related options; and segregation of collateral arrangements
made in connection with options activities, forward contracts or the purchase of
securities on a when-issued basis.
Lending Cash or Securities
The Fund will not lend any of its assets except portfolio securities. This shall not
prevent the Fund from purchasing or holding U.S. government obligations, money
market instruments, variable rate demand notes, bonds, debentures, notes,
certificates of indebtedness, or other debt securities, entering into repurchase
agreements, or engaging in other transactions where permitted by the Fund's
investment goal, policies, and limitations.
Investing in Commodities
The Fund will not purchase or sell commodities, commodity contracts, or commodity
futures contracts.  However, the Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts and
related options, and may also enter into forward contracts and related options.
Investing in Real Estate
The Fund will not purchase or sell real estate, including limited partnership
interests, although the Fund may invest in the securities of companies whose
business involves the purchase or sale of real estate or in securities which are
secured by real estate or which represent interests in real estate.
Diversification of Investments
With respect to securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, the Fund
will not purchase securities issued by any one issuer (other than cash, cash items
or securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its
agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such
securities) if as a result more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be
invested in the securities of that issuer or if it would own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of such issuer.
Concentration of Investments
The Fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry.
However, investing in U.S. government securities shall not be considered investments
in any one industry.
Underwriting
The Fund will not underwrite any issue of securities, except as it may be deemed to
be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of
restricted securities which the Fund may purchase pursuant to its investment
objective, policies and limitations.
NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS
The following investment limitations are non-fundamental and, therefore, may be
changed by the Directors without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified
before any material change in these limitations becomes effective.
Investing in Illiquid and Restricted Securities
The Fund will not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets in illiquid
securities, including repurchase agreements providing for settlement in more than
seven days after notice, non-negotiable fixed time deposits with maturities over
seven days, over-the-counter options, guaranteed investment contracts, and certain
restricted securities not determined by the Directors to be liquid (including
certain municipal leases).
Purchasing Securities to Exercise Control
The Fund will not purchase securities of a company for the purpose of exercising
control or management.
Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies
The Fund will limit its investment in other investment companies to no more than 3%
of the total outstanding voting stock of any investment company, will invest no more
than 5% of total assets in any one investment company, and will invest no more than
10% of its total assets in investment companies in general, unless permitted to
exceed these limits by an exemptive order of the SEC. The Fund will purchase
securities of closed-end investment companies only in open market transactions
involving only customary broker's commissions. However, these limitations are not
applicable if the securities are acquired in a merger, consolidation,
reorganization, or acquisition of assets.
Investing in Options
Except for bona fide hedging purposes, the Fund may not invest more than 5% of the
value of its net assets in the sum of (a) premiums on open option positions on
futures contracts, plus (b) initial margin deposits on futures contracts.
The Fund will not purchase put options or write call options on securities unless
the securities are held in the Fund's portfolio or unless the Fund is entitled to
them in deliverable form without further payment or has segregated cash in the
amount of any further payment.
The Fund will not write call options in excess of 25% of the value of its total
assets.
Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to at
the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from
any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such
restriction. For purposes of its policies and limitations, the Fund considers
instruments (such as certificates of deposit and demand and time deposits) issued by
a U.S. branch of a domestic bank or savings and loan having capital, surplus, and
undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 at the time of investment to be cash
items.
DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES

MARKET VALUES
Market values of portfolio securities are determined as follows:

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

o     in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, at the mean between the
   last closing bid and asked prices;

o     for bonds and other fixed income securities, at the last sale price on a
   national securities exchange, if available, otherwise, as determined by an
   independent pricing service;

o     for short-term obligations, at the mean between bid and asked prices as
   furnished by an independent pricing service, except that short-term obligations
   with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase may be
   valued at amortized cost or at fair market value as determined in good faith by
   the Board; and

o     for all other securities, at fair value as determined in good faith by the
   Board.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying
exclusively on quoted prices and may consider:  institutional trading in similar
groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type
of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors.

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

TRADING IN FOREIGN SECURITIES
Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing
of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its net asset value, the Fund
values foreign securities at the latest closing price on the principal exchange on
which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign
currency exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the
closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollars at current rates. Occasionally, events that affect these values
and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the
closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio
securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good
faith by the Directors, although the actual calculation may be done by others.
WHAT DO SHARES COST?

Except under certain circumstances described in the prospectus, shares are sold at
their net asset value on days the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The
procedure for purchasing shares is explained in the prospectus under "How to Buy
Shares" and "What Do Shares Cost."

HOW IS THE FUND SOLD?

Under the Distributor's Contract with the Fund, the Distributor (Federated
Securities Corp.), located at Federated Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue,
Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779, offers shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis.
SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
Investment professionals may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor or
Adviser (but not out of Fund assets). The Distributor may be reimbursed by the
Adviser or its affiliates.

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

HOW TO BUY SHARES

EXCHANGING SECURITIES FOR SHARES
You may contact the Distributor to request a purchase of shares in an exchange for
securities you own.  The Fund reserves the right to determine whether to accept your
securities and the minimum market value to accept.  The Fund will value your
securities in the same manner as it values its assets.  This exchange is treated as
a sale of your securities for federal tax purposes.
REDEMPTION IN KIND
Although the Fund intends to pay share redemptions in cash, it reserves the right,
as described below, to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of the Fund's portfolio securities.
Because the Corporation has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the
Investment Company Act or 1940, the Fund is obligated to pay share redemptions to
any one shareholder in cash only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Fund's
net assets represented by such share class during any 90-day period.
Any share redemption payment greater than this amount will also be in cash unless
the Fund's Directors determine that payment should be in kind.  In such a case, the
Fund will pay all or a portion of the remainder of the redemption in portfolio
securities, valued in the same way as the Fund determines its net asset value.  The
portfolio securities will be selected in a manner that the Fund's Directors deem
fair and equitable and, to the extent available, such securities will be readily
marketable.
Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash redemption. If redemption is made in
kind, shareholders would incur transaction costs in selling the portfolio securities
received, and the proceeds of such sales, when made, may be more or less than the
value on the redemption date.
ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION

VOTING RIGHTS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled: (i) to one vote per full share of Common
Stock; (ii) to distributions declared by Directors; and (iii) upon liquidation of
the Corporation, to participate ratably in the assets of the Fund available for
distribution.  Each share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in the election
of Directors and other matters submitted to shareholders for vote.  All shares of
each portfolio or class in the Corporation have equal voting rights, except that
only shares of a particular portfolio or class are entitled to vote on matters
affecting that portfolio or class. Consequently, the holders of more than 50% of the
Corporation's shares of common stock voting for the election of Directors can elect
the entire Board of Directors, and, in such event, the holders of the Corporation's
remaining shares voting for the election of Directors will not be able to elect any
person or persons to the Board of Directors.
The Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (the WBCL) permits registered investment
companies, such as the Corporation, to operate without an annual meeting of
shareholders under specified circumstances if an annual meeting is not required by
the Act.  The Corporation has adopted the appropriate provisions in its By-laws and
does not anticipate holding an annual meeting of shareholders to elect Directors
unless otherwise required by the Act.  Directors may be removed by the shareholders
at a special meeting.  A special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the
Directors upon written request of shareholders owning at least 10% of the
Corporation's outstanding voting shares.
The shares are redeemable and are transferable.  All shares issued and sold by the
Corporation will be fully paid and nonassessable except as provided in WBCL Section
180.0622(2)(b). Fractional shares of common stock entitle the holder to the same
rights as whole shares of common stock except the right to receive a certificate
evidencing such fractional shares.
As of October 1, 2001, the following shareholders owned of record 5% or more of the
Fund's outstanding Institutional Class of Shares:
MITRA & Co., Milwaukee, WI, owned approximately 6,145,063 shares (62.15%); Union
Bank Trust, San Diego, CA owned approximately 1,219,509 shares (12.33%).
Shareholders owning 25% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund may be in
control and be able to affect the outcome of certain matters presented for a vote of
shareholders.
WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES?

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

The Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax
purposes so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the
Corporation's other portfolios will be separate from those realized by the Fund.
The Fund is entitled to a loss carry-forward, which may reduce the taxable income or
gain that the Fund would realize, and to which the shareholder would be subject, in
the future.
The dividends received deduction for corporations will apply to ordinary income
distributions to the extent the distribution represents amounts that would qualify
for the dividends received deduction to the Fund if the Fund were a regular
corporation, and to the extent designated by the Fund as so qualifying.  Otherwise,
these dividends and any short-term capital gains are taxable as ordinary income.  No
portion of any income dividends paid by the Fund is eligible for the dividends
received deduction available to corporations.  These dividends, and any short-term
capital gains, are taxable as ordinary income.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
If the Fund purchases foreign securities, their investment income may be subject to
foreign withholding or other taxes that could reduce the return on these securities.
Tax treaties between the United States and foreign countries, however, may reduce or
eliminate the amount of foreign taxes to which the Fund would be subject. The
effective rate of foreign tax cannot be predicted since the amount of Fund assets to
be invested within various countries is uncertain. However, the Fund intends to
operate so as to qualify for treaty-reduced tax rates when applicable.

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

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

If more than 50% of the value of the Fund's assets at the end of the tax year is
represented by stock or securities of foreign corporations, the Fund will qualify
for certain Code provisions that allow its shareholders to claim a foreign tax
credit or deduction on their U.S. income tax returns. The Code may limit a
shareholder's ability to claim a foreign tax credit. Shareholders who elect to
deduct their portion of the Fund's foreign taxes rather than take the foreign tax
credit must itemize deductions on their income tax returns.

STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
Distributions representing net interest received on tax-exempt municipal securities
are not necessarily free from income taxes of any state or local taxing authority.
State laws differ on this issue, and you should consult your tax adviser for
specific details regarding the status of your account under state and local tax
laws, including treatment of distributions as income or return of capital.
CAPITAL GAINS
Capital gains, when experienced by the Fund, could result in an increase in
dividends.  Capital losses could result in a decrease in dividends.  When the Fund
realizes net long-term capital gains, it will distribute them at least once every 12
months.

ASSISTANT
SECRETARY

ADVISER TO THE FUND
The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the
Fund.  The Fund's investment adviser is M&I Investment Management Corp. (Adviser), a
Wisconsin corporation headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Adviser provides
investment management services for investment companies, financial institutions,
individuals, corporations and not-for-profit organizations, and is registered as an
investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Adviser is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (M&I Corp.), a bank
holding company headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with approximately $26.1
billion in assets.  The Adviser shall not be liable to the Corporation, the Fund or
any shareholder of the Fund for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding, or sale of any security, or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts
or omissions involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Corporation.
Because of the internal controls maintained by the Adviser's affiliates to restrict
the flow of non-public information, Fund investments are typically made without any
knowledge of the Adviser or its affiliates' lending relationships with an issuer.
SUB-ADVISER TO THE FUND
BPI Global Asset Management LLP (BPI) is the Sub-adviser to the Fund.  It is the
Adviser's responsibility to select a Sub-adviser for the Fund that has distinguished
itself in its area of expertise in asset management and to review the Sub-adviser's
performance.  The Adviser provides investment management evaluation services by
performing initial due diligence on BPI and thereafter monitoring BPI's performance
through quantitative and qualitative analysis, as well as periodic in-person,
telephonic and written consultations with BPI.  In evaluating BPI, the Adviser
considers, among other factors, BPI's level of expertise; relative performance and
consistency of performance over a minimum period of time; level of adherence to
investment discipline or philosophy; personnel, facilities and financial strength;
and quality of service and client communications.  The Adviser has responsibility
for communicating performance expectations and evaluations to BPI and ultimately
recommending to the Corporation's Directors whether BPI's contract should be
renewed, modified or terminated.  The Adviser provides written reports to the
Directors regarding the results of its evaluation and monitoring functions.  The
Adviser is also responsible for conducting all operations of the Fund, except those
operations contracted to BPI, the custodian, the transfer agent, and the
administrator.  Although BPI's activities are subject to oversight by the Directors
and officers of the Corporation, neither the Directors, the officers, nor the
Adviser evaluates the investment merits of BPI's individual security selections.
BPI has complete discretion to purchase, manage and sell portfolio securities for
the Fund, subject to the Fund's investment goal, policies and limitations. For its
services under the Sub-advisory Agreement, the Sub-adviser receives a fee at the
annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Sub-Adviser is paid
by the Adviser and not by the Fund. However, BPI will furnish to the Adviser such
investment advice, statistical and other factual information as requested by the
Adviser.   BPI, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, provides portfolio management
services for investment companies, corporations, trusts, estates, pension and profit
sharing plans, individuals, and other institutions located principally in Canada and
the United States, and is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. BPI is a Delaware limited liability partnership between CI
Global Holdings USA, Inc. (CI Holdings USA) as a 51% partner, and JBS Advisors, Inc.
(JBS) as a 49% partner, CI Holdings USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CI Global
Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CI Mutual Funds, Inc. CI
Mutual Funds, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of C.I. Fund Management, Inc., a
publicly-traded company located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  JBS is owned by BPI's
portfolio managers and its President.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001, the Adviser paid BPI $1,681,155.  BPI
became Sub-Adviser on March 29, 1999, but was compensated for advisory services
beginning May 1, 1999.  Prior to March 26, 1999, Templeton Investment Counsel, Inc.
(TICI) served as the Fund's former Sub-Adviser. For the period from September 1,
1998 to May 1, 1999 (the effective date of termination of TICI's sub-advisory
contract), the Adviser paid TICI $645,806. For the fiscal years ended August 31,
1998 and 1997, the Adviser paid TICI $1,072,613 and $816,182, respectively.
BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser and/or BPI may select brokers and dealers who offer brokerage and
research services. These services may be furnished directly to the Fund, the
Adviser, or BPI and may include:  advice as to the advisability of investing in
securities; security analysis and reports; economic studies; industry studies;
receipt of quotations for portfolio evaluations; and similar services.
The Adviser, BPI, and their affiliates exercise reasonable business judgment in
selecting brokers who offer brokerage and research services to execute securities
transactions. They determine in good faith that commissions charged by such persons
are reasonable in relationship to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided.
Research services provided by brokers and dealers may be used by the Adviser and BPI
in advising the Funds and other accounts. To the extent that receipt of these
services may supplant services for which the Adviser, BPI, or their affiliates might
otherwise have paid, it would tend to reduce their expenses.
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001, aggregate total commissions with
brokers to whom transactions were directed based on brokerage and research services
provided were $1,029,986.48 on transaction with an aggregate principal value of
$434,632,626.15.
ADMINISTRATOR
M&I Trust is the administrator of the Funds and Federated Services Company is the
sub-administrator. As administrator, M&I Trust will be entitled to receive fees

      ------------------------------------------
The Administrator may choose voluntarily to reimburse a portion of its fee at any
time. All fees of the Sub-Administrator will be paid by the Administrator.

The functions performed by FAS as administrator include, but are not limited to the
following:

o     preparation, filing and maintenance of the Corporation's governing documents,

o     supervision of the preparation of financial reports;

o     preparation and filing of federal and state tax returns;

TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT
Federated Services Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, through its registered
transfer agent, Federated Shareholder Services Company, maintains all necessary
shareholder records.  For its services, the transfer agent receives a fee based on
the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.  The
fee is based on the level of the Fund's average net assets for the period plus
out-of-pocket expenses.
The transfer agent may employ third parties, including Marshall & Ilsley Trust
Company, to provide sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services.  In exchange
for these services, the transfer agent may pay such third-party providers a per
account fee and out-of-pocket expenses.
CUSTODIAN
Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company (M&I Trust Company), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a
subsidiary of M&I Corp., is custodian for the securities and cash of the Fund.  For
its services as custodian,  M&I Trust Company receives an annual fee, payable
monthly, based on a percentage of the Fund's average aggregate daily net assets.
SUB-CUSTODIAN
State Street Bank and Trust Company, Boston, Massachusetts, the Fund's
sub-custodian, has entered into agreements with foreign sub-custodians approved by
the Directors pursuant to Rule 17f-5 under the Act. The foreign sub-custodians may
not hold certificates for the securities in their custody, but instead have book
records with domestic and foreign securities depositories, which in turn have book
records with the transfer agents of the issuers of the securities. Compensation for
the services of the foreign sub-custodians is based on a schedule of charges agreed
on from time to time.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The independent auditor for the Fund, Ernst & Young LLP, conducts its audits in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which require it to plan and perform its audits to provide reasonable
assurance about whether the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement.

HOW DOES THE FUND MEASURE PERFORMANCE?

The Fund may advertise the Fund's share performance by using the Securities and
Exchange Commission's (SEC) standard method for calculating performance applicable
to all mutual funds.  The SEC also permits this standard performance information to
be accompanied by non-standard performance information.

Unless otherwise stated, any quoted share performance reflects the effect of
non-recurring charges, such as maximum sales charges, which, if excluded, would
increase the total return and yield.  The performance of shares depends upon such
variables as: portfolio quality; average portfolio maturity; type and value of
portfolio securities; changes in interest rates; changes or differences in the
Fund's or any class of shares' expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings and
offering price per share fluctuate daily.  Both net earnings and offering price per
share are factors in the computation of yield and total return.

TOTAL RETURN
Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of
shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and
capital gains distributions.
The average annual total return for Fund shares is the average compounded rate of
return for a given period that would equate a $1,000 initial investment to the
ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is computed
by multiplying the number of shares owned at the end of the period by the net asset
value per share at the end of the period. The number of shares owned at the end of
the period is based on the number of shares purchased at the beginning of the period
with $1,000, adjusted over the period by any additional shares, assuming the
quarterly reinvestment of any dividends and distributions.
YIELD
The yield for the Fund's Institutional Class of Shares is calculated by dividing:
(i) the net investment income per share earned by the Fund's shares over a
thirty-day period; by (ii) the maximum offering price per share of the Fund on the
last day of the period. This number is then annualized using semi-annual
compounding. This means that the amount of income generated during the thirty-day
period is assumed to be generated each month over a 12-month period and is
reinvested every six months.
To the extent that financial institutions and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in the Fund's
shares, the Fund's shares performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.

Advertising and sales literature may include:

o     references to ratings, rankings, and financial publications and/or performance
   comparisons of the Fund's shares to certain indices;
o     charts, graphs and illustrations using the Fund's returns, or returns in
   general, that demonstrate investment concepts such as tax-deferred compounding,
   dollar-cost averaging and systematic investment;
o     discussions of economic, financial and political developments and their impact
   on the securities market, including the portfolio manager's views on how such
   developments could impact the Fund; and
o     information about the mutual fund industry from sources such as the Investment
   Company Institute.

The Fund may compare its performance, or performance for the types of securities in
which it invests, to a variety of other investments, including federally insured
bank products such as bank savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and Treasury
bills.

The Fund may quote information from reliable sources regarding individual countries
and regions, world stock exchanges, and economic and demographic statistics.

You may use financial publications and/or indices to obtain a more complete view of
share performance.  When comparing performance, you should consider all relevant
factors such as the composition of the index used, prevailing market conditions,
portfolio compositions of other funds, and methods used to value portfolio
securities and compute offering price.  The financial publications and/or indices
which the Fund uses in advertising may include:
o     Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia And Far East Index
       (EAFE) is a market capitalization weighted foreign securities index, which is
       widely used to measure the performance of European, Australian and New
       Zealand and Far Eastern stock markets. The index covers approximately 1,020
       companies drawn from 18 countries in the above regions. The index values its
       securities daily in both U.S. dollars and local currency and calculates total
       returns monthly. EAFE U.S. dollar total return is a net dividend figure less
       Luxembourg withholding tax. The EAFE is monitored by Capital International,
       S.A., Geneva, Switzerland.

o     Lipper, Inc. ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative
       calculations using total return. Total return assumes the reinvestment of all
       capital gains distributions and income dividends and takes into account any
       change in net asset value over a specific period of time. From time to time,
       the Fund will quote its Lipper ranking in advertising and sales literature.

o     Consumer Price Index is generally considered to be a measure of inflation.

o     Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is an unmanaged index representing share
       prices of major industrial corporations, public utilities, and transportation
       companies. Produced by the Dow Jones & Company, it is cited as a principal
       indicator of market conditions.

o     Standard & Poor's Daily Stock Price Index Of 500 Common Stocks, a composite
       index of common stocks in industry, transportation, financial, and public
       utility companies. The Standard & Poor's index assumes reinvestment of all
       dividends paid by stocks listed on the index. Taxes due on any of these
       distributions are not included, nor are brokerage or other fees calculated in
       the Standard & Poor's figures.

o     Morningstar, Inc., an independent rating service, is the publisher of the
       bi-weekly Mutual Fund Values. Mutual Fund Values  rates more than 1,000
       Nasdaq-listed mutual funds of all types, according to their risk-adjusted
       returns. The maximum rating is five stars, and ratings are effective for two
       weeks.

Investors may also consult the fund evaluation consulting universes listed below.
Consulting universes may be composed of pension, profit sharing, commingled,
endowment/foundation, and mutual funds.
o     Fiduciary Consulting Grid Universe, for example, is composed of over 1,000
       funds, representing 350 different investment managers, divided into
       subcategories based on asset mix. The funds are ranked quarterly based on
       performance and risk characteristics.

o     SEI Data Base for equity funds includes approximately 900 funds, representing
       361 money managers, divided into fund types based on investor groups and
       asset mix. The funds are ranked every three, six, and twelve months.

o     Mercer Meidinger, Inc. compiles a universe of approximately 600 equity funds,
       representing about 500 investment managers, and updates their rankings each
       calendar quarter as well as on a one, three, and five year basis.

financial and political developments and their effect on the securities market. Such
discussions may take the form of commentary on these developments by Fund portfolio
managers and their views and analysis on how such developments could affect the
Fund. In addition, advertising and sales literature may quote statistics and give

APPENDIX

STANDARD AND POOR'S BOND RATINGS
AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's. Capacity
to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA--Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and
differs from the higher rated issues only in small degree.
A--Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although
it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances
and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.
BBB--Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category than
in higher rated categories.
NR--Indicates that no public rating has been requested, that there is insufficient
information on which to base a rating, or that Standard & Poor's does not rate a
particular type of obligation as a matter of policy.
PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-):--The ratings from AA to BBB may be modified by the addition
of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE CORPORATE BOND RATINGS
AAA--Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt edge.
Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and
principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change,
such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.
Aa--Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may
not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long term
risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
A--Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
Baa--Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements
may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have
speculative characteristics as well.
NR--Not rated by Moody's.
FITCH IBCA, INC. LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS
AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality. The
obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay principal,
which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.
AA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although not
quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA categories
are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments, short-term debt
of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.
A--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The obligor's
ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong, but may be
more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances than
bonds with higher ratings.
BBB--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be adequate.
Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more likely
to have adverse impact on these bonds, and therefore, impair timely payment.
NR--NR indicates that Fitch does not rate the specific issue.

STANDARD AND POOR'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
A-1--This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment
is either overwhelming or very strong. The issues determined to possess overwhelming
safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
A-2--Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is strong. However,
the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
P-1--Issuers rated PRIME-1 (for related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. PRIME-1 repayment
capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics: conservative
capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection;
broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash
generation; and well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured
sources of alternate liquidity.
P-2--Issuers rated PRIME-2 (for related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally be
evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation.
Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by
external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
FITCH IBCA, INC. SHORT-TERM RATINGS
F-1+--(Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality). Issues assigned this rating are
regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.
F-1--(Very Strong Credit Quality). Issues assigned to this rating reflect an
assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than issues rated F-1+.
F-2--(Good Credit Quality). Issues carrying this rating have a satisfactory degree
of assurance for timely payment but the margin of safety is not as great as the F-1+
and F-1 categories.
STANDARD AND POOR'S MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS
AAA -- Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's. Capacity
to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA -- Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher rated issues only in small degree.
A -- Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although
it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances
and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.
BBB- Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category than
in higher-rated categories.
NR -- NR indicates that no public rating has been requested, that there is
insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that Standard & Poor's does
not rate a particular type of obligation as a matter of policy.
Plus (+) or minus (-): The ratings AA and A may be modified by the addition of a
plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS
Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt edge.
Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and
principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change,
such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.
Aa -- Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may
not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long term
risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
A -- Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.
Baa- Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations (i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured). Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements
may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have
speculative characteristics as well.
NR -- Not rated by Moody's.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2 and 3 in the generic rating classification
of Aa and A in its corporate or municipal bond rating system. The modifier 1
indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category;
the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the
issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category.
STANDARD AND POOR'S MUNICIPAL NOTE RATINGS
SP-1 -- Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a plus (+)
designation.
SP-2 -- Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE SHORT-TERM DEBT RATINGS
MIG1/VMIG1 -- This designation denotes best quality. There is a present strong
protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or demonstrated
broad based access to the market for refinancing.
MIG2/VMIG2 -- This designation denotes high quality. Margins of protection are ample
although not so large as in the preceding group.

HOW ARE THE FUNDS ORGANIZED?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marshall Funds, Inc. (Corporation) is an open-end, management investment company
that was established as a Wisconsin corporation on July 31, 1992.

The Funds are diversified portfolios of the Corporation. The Corporation may offer
separate series of shares representing interests in separate portfolios of
securities, and the shares in any one portfolio may be offered in separate classes.
This Statement contains additional information about the Corporation and its eleven
investment portfolios. This Statement uses the same terms as defined in the
Prospectus.
The definitions of the terms series and class in the Wisconsin Business Corporation
Law, Chapter 180 of the Wisconsin Statutes (WBCL) differ from the meanings assigned
to those terms in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information. The
Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation reconcile this inconsistency in
terminology, and provide that the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information may define these terms consistently with the use of those terms under
the WBCL and the Internal Revenue Code.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUNDS INVEST

1. All Funds may invest up to 20% of their respective assets, however, the
International Stock Fund has no limit.
2. The Equity Funds and Income Funds may invest in Asset-Backed Securities rated,
at the time of purchase, in the top four rating categories by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) (securities rated AAA, AA, A or
BBB by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Fitch IBCA, Inc. (Fitch) and Aaa, Aa, A or Baa
by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's)), or if unrated, determined by the Adviser
to be of comparable quality. The Money Market Fund will invest in only the
short-term tranches, which will generally have a maturity not exceeding 397 days.
Only the Income Funds expect that they might exceed 5% of their respective net
assets in these securities.
3. The Equity Funds and Money Market Fund may purchase foreign Bank Instruments.
The Equity Funds (except International Stock Fund) are limited to 5% of total
assets.  The Income Funds may invest in foreign Bank Instruments, although they do
not presently intend to do so.

4. The International Stock Fund may borrow money to purchase securities, a strategy
that involves purchasing securities in amounts that exceed the amount it has
invested in the underlying securities.  The excess exposure increases the risks
associated with the underlying securities and tends to exaggerate the effect of
changes in the value of its portfolio securities and consequently on the Fund's net
asset value. The Fund may pledge more than 5% of its total assets to secure such
borrowings.
5. Must be issued by U.S. corporations and rated in the top four categories by an
NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
6. The Equity Funds, except International Stock Fund may only invest up to 5% of
their respective net assets in foreign securities other than American Depositary
Receipts.
7. All Funds may invest up to 15% of their respective assets in illiquid securities
except for the Money Market Fund which is limited to 10%.
8. The Small-Cap Growth Fund may purchase commercial paper rated investment grade
by an NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
The other Funds may purchase commercial paper rated in the two highest rating
categories by an NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of
comparable quality.
9. During the period any reverse repurchase agreements are outstanding, but only to
the extent necessary to assure completion of the reverse repurchase agreements, the
Money Market Fund will restrict the purchase of portfolio instruments to money
market instruments maturing on or before the expiration date of the reverse
repurchase agreement.

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS, TECHNIQUES AND RISKS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As used in this section, the term Adviser means Adviser or Sub-Adviser, as
applicable.
Agency Securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government
sponsored entity acting under federal authority.  Some government entities are
supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. Other government
entities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few
government entities have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having
implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Investors
regard agency securities as having low credit risks, but not as low as Treasury
securities.
A Fund treats mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by a government sponsored
entity as if issued or guaranteed by a federal agency. Although such a guarantee
protects against credit risks, it does not reduce the market and prepayment risks.
Asset-Backed Securities are issued by non-governmental entities and carry no direct
or indirect government guarantee. Asset-Backed Securities represent an interest in
a pool of assets such as car loans and credit card receivables. Almost any type of
fixed income assets (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create
an asset backed security. However, most asset-backed securities involve consumer or
commercial debts with maturities of less than ten years. Asset-backed securities
may take the form of commercial paper or notes, in addition to pass through
certificates or asset-backed bonds. Asset backed securities may also resemble some
types of CMOs.
Payments on asset-backed securities depend upon assets held by the issuer and
collections of the underlying loans. The value of these securities depends on many
factors, including changing interest rates, the availability of information about
the pool and its structure, the credit quality of the underlying assets, the
market's perception of the servicer of the pool, and any credit enhancement
provided. Also, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.
Bank Instruments. Bank Instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with
banks. Bank Instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of
deposit and banker's acceptances. Instruments denominated in U.S. dollars and
issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks are commonly referred to as
Eurodollar instruments. Instruments denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S.
branches of foreign banks are referred to as Yankee dollar instruments.

The Funds will invest in bank instruments that have been issued by banks and
savings and loans that have capital, surplus and undivided profits of over $100
million or whose principal amount is insured by the Bank Insurance Fund or the
Savings Association Insurance Fund, which are administered by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Securities that are credit-enhanced with a bank's
irrevocable letter of credit or unconditional guaranty will also be treated as Bank
Instruments.

Borrowing. The Funds may borrow money from banks or through reverse repurchase
agreements in amounts up to one-third of total assets (net assets for the Money
Market Fund and Intermediate Bond Fund), and pledge some assets as collateral.  A
Fund that borrows will pay interest on borrowed money and may incur other
transaction costs.  These expenses could exceed the income received or capital
appreciation realized by a Fund from any securities purchased with borrowed money.
With respect to borrowings, the Funds are required to maintain continuous asset
coverage equal to 300% of the amount borrowed.  If the coverage declines to less
than 300%, a Fund must sell sufficient portfolio securities to restore the coverage
even if it must sell the securities at a loss.

Corporate Debt Securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes,
bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most common types of corporate debt
securities. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

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

To compensate for the value of the conversion option, convertible securities have
lower yields than comparable fixed income securities. In addition, the conversion
price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities at the time a
convertible security is issued. Thus, convertible securities may provide lower
returns than non-convertible fixed income securities or equity securities depending
upon changes in the price of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible
securities permit a Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the
underlying equity securities with less risk of losing its initial investment.

A Fund treats convertible securities as both fixed income and equity securities for
purposes of its investment policies and limitations, because of their unique
characteristics.

Credit Enhancement. Certain acceptable investments may be credit-enhanced by a
guaranty, letter of credit, or insurance.  The Adviser may evaluate a security
based, in whole or in part, upon the financial condition of the party providing the
credit enhancement (the credit enhancer).  The bankruptcy, receivership or default
of the credit enhancer will adversely affect the quality and marketability of the
underlying security.

For diversification purposes, credit-enhanced securities will not be treated as
having been issued by the credit enhancer, unless a Fund has invested more than 10%
of its assets in securities issued, guaranteed or otherwise credit-enhanced by the
credit enhancer.  In such cases, the securities will be treated as having been
issued both by the issuer and the credit enhancer.

Credit Quality.  The fixed income securities in which a Fund invests will be rated
at least investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical ratings
organization (NRSRO). Investment grade securities have received one of an NRSRO's
four highest ratings.  Securities receiving the fourth highest rating (Baa by
Moody's or BBB by S&P or Fitch) have speculative characteristics and changes in the
market or the economy are more likely to affect the ability of the issuer to repay
its obligations when due.  The Adviser will evaluate downgraded securities and will
sell any security determined not to be an acceptable investment.  The Money Market
Fund is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and will
follow the credit quality requirements of the Rule.

Commercial Paper and Restricted and Illiquid Securities. Commercial paper is an
issuer's draft or note with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies
typically issue commercial paper to fund current expenditures. Most issuers
constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to
repay maturing paper. Commercial paper may default if the issuer cannot continue to
obtain financing in this fashion. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces
both the market and credit risk as compared to other debt securities of the same
issuer.
The Funds may invest in commercial paper issued under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933.  By law, the sale of Section 4(2) commercial paper is
restricted and is generally sold only to institutional investors, such as a Fund.
A Fund purchasing Section 4(2) commercial paper must agree to purchase the paper
for investment purposes only and not with a view to public distribution.  Section
4(2) commercial paper is normally resold to other institutional investors through
investment dealers who make a market in Section 4(2) commercial paper, thus
providing liquidity.
The Funds believe that Section 4(2) commercial paper and certain other restricted
securities which meet the Directors' criteria for liquidity are quite liquid.
Section 4(2) commercial paper and  restricted securities which are deemed liquid,
will not be subject to the investment limitation.  In addition, because Section
4(2) commercial paper is liquid, the Funds intend to not subject such paper to the
limitation applicable to restricted securities.
Demand Features. The Funds may purchase securities subject to a demand feature,
which may take the form of a put or standby commitment.  Demand features permit a
Fund to demand payment of the value of the security (plus an accrued interest) from
either the issuer of the security or a third-party.  Demand features help make a
security more liquid, although an adverse change in the financial health of the
provider of a demand feature (such as bankruptcy), will negatively affect the
liquidity of the security.  Other events may also terminate a demand feature, in
which case liquidity is also affected.

Demand Master Notes. Demand master notes are short-term borrowing arrangements
between a corporation or government agency and an institutional lender (such as a
Fund) payable upon demand by either party. A party may demand full or partial
payment and the notice period for demand typically ranges from one to seven days.
Many master notes give a Fund the option of increasing or decreasing the principal
amount of the master note on a daily or weekly basis within certain limits. Demand
master notes usually provide for floating or variable rates of interest.

Depositary Receipts. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are receipts, issued by a
U.S. bank, that represent an interest in shares of a foreign-based corporation.
ADRs provide a way to buy shares of foreign-based companies in the U.S. rather than
in overseas markets.  European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary
Receipts (GDRs) are receipts, issued by foreign banks or trust companies, or
foreign branches of U.S. banks, that represent an interest in shares of either a
foreign or U.S. corporation.  Depositary Receipts may not be denominated in the
same currency as the underlying securities into which they may be converted, and
are subject to currency risks.  Depositary Receipts involve many of the same risks
of investing directly in foreign securities.

Derivative  Contracts.  Derivative  contracts are financial  instruments that require
payments based upon changes in the values of designated (or  underlying)  securities,
currencies,   commodities,   financial  indices  or  other  assets.  Some  derivative
contracts  (such as futures,  forwards and options)  require  payments  relating to a
future trade  involving the underlying  asset.  Other  derivative  contracts (such as
swaps)  require  payments  relating  to the  income or  returns  from the  underlying
asset.  The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.
Many  derivative  contracts  are traded on securities or  commodities  exchanges.  In
this case,  the  exchange  sets all the terms of the  contract  except for the price.
Investors  make  payments  due under  their  contracts  through  the  exchange.  Most
exchanges  require  investors to maintain  margin  accounts  through their brokers to
cover their  potential  obligations  to the  exchange.  Parties to the contract  make
(or collect)  daily  payments to the margin  accounts to reflect losses (or gains) in
the value of their contracts.  This protects  investors  against  potential  defaults
by the counterparty.
Trading  contracts on an exchange also allows  investors to close out their contracts
by entering into offsetting  contracts.  For example,  a Fund could close out an open
contract  to buy an asset at a future date by entering  into an  offsetting  contract
to sell the same asset on the same date.  If the  offsetting  sale price is more than
the original  purchase  price, a Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, a Fund realizes
a loss.  Exchanges  may  limit  the  amount of open  contracts  permitted  at any one
time.  Such  limits  may  prevent  a  Fund  from  closing  out a  position.  If  this
happens,  a Fund will be  required  to keep the  contract  open (even if it is losing
money on the  contract),  and to make any payments  required under the contract (even
if it has to sell  portfolio  securities at unfavorable  prices to do so).  Inability
to close out a contract  could also harm a Fund by  preventing  it from  disposing of
or  trading  any  assets  it has been  using to  secure  its  obligations  under  the
contract.
A Fund may also trade  derivative  contracts  over-the-counter  (OTC) in transactions
negotiated  directly  between  a Fund  and the  counterparty.  OTC  contracts  do not
necessarily  have standard  terms,  so they cannot be directly  offset with other OTC
contracts.  In  addition,  OTC  contracts  with  more  specialized  terms may be more
difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.
Depending upon how a Fund uses  derivative  contracts and the  relationships  between
the market  value of a  derivative  contract  and the  underlying  asset,  derivative
contracts  may increase or decrease a Fund's  exposure to market and currency  risks,
and may also expose a Fund to  liquidity  and  leverage  risks.  OTC  contracts  also
expose a Fund to  credit  risks in the  event  that a  counterparty  defaults  on the
contract.
Dollar Rolls are transactions  where a Fund sells  mortgage-backed  securities with a
commitment  to buy  similar,  but  not  identical,  mortgage-backed  securities  on a
future date at a lower price.  Normally,  one or both  securities  involved are to be
announced  mortgage-backed  securities.  Dollar  rolls are subject to  interest  rate
risks and credit risks. These transactions may create leverage risks.
Duration.  Duration is a measure of volatility in the price of a bond prior to
maturity.  Volatility is the magnitude of the change in the price of a bond
relative to a change in the market interest rate.  Volatility is based upon a
bond's coupon rate; maturity date; and the level of market yields of similar bonds.
Generally, bonds with lower coupons or longer maturities will be more volatile than
bonds with higher coupons or shorter maturities.  Duration combines these variables
into a single measure.
Equity  Securities  are  the  fundamental  unit  of  ownership  in  a  company.  They
represent a share of the  issuer's  earnings  and  assets,  after the issuer pays its
liabilities.  Generally,  issuers have  discretion as to the payment of any dividends
or  distributions.  As a  result,  investors  cannot  predict  the  income  they will
receive from equity  securities.  However,  equity securities offer greater potential
for appreciation  than many other types of securities,  because their value increases
directly with the value of the issuer's business.  The following  describes the types
of equity securities in which the Equity Funds invest.
   Common  stocks  are  the  most   prevalent   type  of  equity   security.   Common
   stockholders  are  entitled to the net value of the  issuer's  earnings and assets
   after the issuer pays its creditors and any preferred  stockholders.  As a result,
   changes in an issuer's earnings directly influence the value of its common stock.
   Preferred  stocks have the right to receive  specified  dividends or distributions
   before the payment of dividends or distributions  on common stock.  Some preferred
   stocks also  participate  in dividends  and  distributions  paid on common  stock.
   Preferred  stocks may  provide  for the issuer to redeem the stock on a  specified
   date. A Fund  holding  redeemable  preferred  stock may treat it as a fixed income
   security.
   Warrants  provide an option to buy the issuer's  stock or other equity  securities
   at a specified  price. A Fund holding a warrant may buy the  designated  shares by
   paying  the  exercise  price  before  the  warrant  expires.  Warrants  may become
   worthless  if the price of the stock  does not rise  above the  exercise  price by
   the stated  expiration  date.  Rights are the same as  warrants,  except  they are
   typically issued to existing stockholders.
Fixed Income Securities. Fixed income securities generally pay interest at either a
fixed or floating rate and provide more regular income than equity securities.
However, the returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not
increase with the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of
fixed income securities as compared to equity securities. Fixed rate securities and
floating rate securities react differently as prevailing interest rates change.

     Fixed Rate Debt Securities.  Debt securities that pay a fixed interest rate
     over the life of the security and have a long-term maturity may have many
     characteristics of short-term debt.  For example, the market may treat fixed
     rate/long-term securities as short-term debt when a security's market price is
     close to the call or redemption price, or if the security is approaching its
     maturity date when the issuer is more likely to call or redeem the debt.

     As interest rates change, the market prices of fixed rate debt securities are
     generally more volatile than the prices of floating rate debt securities.  As
     interest rates rise, the prices of fixed rate debt securities fall, and as
     interest rates fall, the prices of fixed rate debt securities rise.  For
     example, a bond that pays a fixed interest rate of 10% is more valuable to
     investors when prevailing interest rates are lower; therefore, this value is
     reflected in higher price, or a premium.  Conversely, if interest rates are
     over 10%, the bond is less attractive to investors, and sells at a lower price,
     or a discount.

     Floating Rate Debt Securities.  The interest rate paid on floating rate debt
     securities is reset periodically (e.g., every 90 days) to a predetermined index
     rate.  Commonly used indices include:  90-day or 180-day Treasury bill rate;
     one month or three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR); commercial
     paper rates; or the prime rate of interest of a bank.  The prices of floating
     rate debt securities are not as sensitive to changes in interest rates as fixed
     rate debt securities because they behave like shorter-term securities and their
     interest rate is reset periodically.

Foreign Currency Transactions. Foreign currency transactions are generally used to
obtain foreign currencies to settle securities transactions.  They can also be used
as a hedge to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange
rates or regulations.  When a Fund uses foreign currency exchanges as a hedge, it
may also limit potential gain that could result from an increase in the value of
such currencies.  A Fund may be affected either favorably or unfavorably by
fluctuations in the relative rates of exchange between the currencies of different
nations.

     Foreign Currency Hedging Transactions. Foreign currency hedging transactions
     are used to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks.  These
     transactions include:  forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign
     currency futures contracts, and purchasing put or call options on foreign
     currencies.
     Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts (Forward Contracts) are used to
     minimize the risks associated with changes in the relationship between the U.S.
     dollar and foreign currencies.  They are used to lock in the U.S. dollar price
     of a foreign security.  A Forward Contract is a commitment to purchase or sell
     a specific currency for an agreed price at a future date.
     If the Adviser believes a foreign currency will decline against the U.S.
     dollar, a Forward Contract may be used to sell an amount of the foreign
     currency approximating the value of a Fund's security that is denominated in
     the foreign currency. The success of this hedging strategy is highly uncertain
     due to the difficulties of predicting the values of foreign currencies, of
     precisely matching Forward Contract amounts, and because the constantly
     changing value of the securities involved. The Fund will not enter into Forward
     Contracts for hedging purposes in a particular currency in an amount in excess
     of the Fund's assets denominated in that currency.  Conversely, if the Adviser
     believes that the U.S. dollar will decline against a foreign currency, a
     Forward Contract may be used to buy that foreign currency for a fixed dollar
     amount, otherwise known as cross-hedging.
     In these transactions, the Fund will segregate assets with a market value equal
     to the amount of the foreign currency purchased.  Therefore, the Fund will
     always have cash, cash equivalents or high quality debt securities available to
     cover Forward Contracts or to limit any potential risk.  The segregated assets
     will be priced daily.
     Forward Contracts may limit potential gain from a positive change in the
     relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies.  Unanticipated
     changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for a Fund
     than if it had not engaged in such contracts.
     Purchasing and Writing Put and Call Options on foreign currencies are used to
     protect the Fund's portfolio against declines in the U.S. dollar value of
     foreign portfolio securities and against increases in the dollar cost of
     foreign securities to be acquired.  Writing an option on foreign currency
     constitutes only a partial hedge, up to the amount of the premium received.
     The Fund could lose money if it is required to purchase or sell foreign
     currencies at disadvantageous exchange rates.  If exchange rate movements are
     adverse to the Fund's position, the Fund may forfeit the entire amount of the
     premium plus related transaction costs.  These options are traded on U.S. and
     foreign exchanges or over-the-counter.
     Exchange-Traded Futures Contracts are used for the purchase or sale of foreign
     currencies (Foreign Currency Futures) and will be used to hedge against
     anticipated changes in exchange rates that might adversely affect the value of
     a Fund's portfolio securities or the prices of securities that a Fund intends
     to purchase in the future. The successful use of Foreign Currency Futures
     depends on the ability to forecast currency exchange rate movements correctly.
     Should exchange rates move in an unexpected manner, a Fund may not achieve the
     anticipated benefits of Foreign Currency Futures or may realize losses.
Foreign Money Market Instruments.  Eurodollar Certificates of Deposit (ECDs),
Yankee dollar Certificates of Deposit (YCDs) and Eurodollar Time Deposits (ETDs)
are all U.S. dollar denominated certificates of deposit.  ECDs are issued by, and
ETDs are deposits of, foreign banks or foreign branches of U.S. banks.  YCDs are
issued in the U.S. by branches and agencies of foreign banks. Europaper is
dollar-denominated commercial paper and other short-term notes issued in the U.S.
by foreign issuers.

ECDs, ETDs, YCDs, and Europaper have many of the same risks as other foreign
securities.  Examples of these risks include economic and political developments,
that may adversely affect the payment of principal or interest, foreign withholding
or other taxes on interest income, difficulties in obtaining or enforcing a
judgment against the issuing bank and the possible impact of interruptions in the
flow of international currency transactions.  Also, the issuing banks or their
branches are not necessarily subject to the same regulatory requirements that apply
to domestic banks, such as reserve requirements, loan limitations, examinations,
accounting, auditing, recordkeeping and the public availability of information.
These factors will be carefully considered by the Adviser in selecting these
investments.

Funding Agreements (Agreements), are investment instruments issued by U.S.
insurance companies. Pursuant to such Agreements, a Fund may make cash
contributions to a deposit fund of the insurance company's general or separate
accounts. The insurance company then credits guaranteed interest to a Fund. The
insurance company may assess periodic charges against an Agreement for expense and
service costs allocable to it, and the charges will be deducted from the value of
the deposit fund. The purchase price paid for an Agreement becomes part of the
general assets of the issuer, and the Agreement is paid from the general assets of
the issuer. The Money Market Fund will only purchase Agreements from issuers that
meet quality and credit standards established by the Adviser. Generally, Agreements
are not assignable or transferable without the permission of the issuing insurance
companies, and an active secondary market in Agreements does not currently exist.
Also, the Money Market Fund may not have the right to receive the principal amount
of an Agreement from the insurance company on seven days' notice or less.
Therefore, Agreements are typically considered to be illiquid investments.
Futures and Options Transactions.  As a means of reducing fluctuations in its net
asset value, a Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and options on futures
contracts, and buy put and call options on portfolio securities and securities
indices to hedge its portfolio. A Fund may also write covered put and call options
on portfolio securities to attempt to increase its current income or to hedge its
portfolio.  There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any
particular futures contract or option at any particular time. A Fund's ability to
establish and close out futures and options positions depends on this secondary
market.
     Futures Contracts.  A futures contract is a commitment by two parties under
     which one party agrees to make delivery of an asset (seller) and another party
     agrees to take delivery of the asset at a certain time in the future.  A
     futures contract may involve a variety of assets including commodities (such as
     oil, wheat, or corn) or a financial asset (such as a security). A Fund may
     purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against anticipated
     changes in the value of its portfolio without necessarily buying or selling the
     securities. Although some financial futures contracts call for making or taking
     delivery of the underlying securities, in most cases these obligations are
     closed out before the settlement date. The closing of a futures contract is
     accomplished by purchasing or selling an identical offsetting futures contract.
     Other financial futures contracts call for cash settlements.
     A Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures contracts to hedge against
     anticipated price changes with respect to any stock index traded on a
     recognized stock exchange or board of trade. A stock index futures contract is
     an agreement in which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount
     of cash equal to the difference between the price of the original contract and
     the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract. No
     physical delivery of the underlying securities in the index is made. Settlement
     is made in cash upon termination of the contract.
     Margin In Futures Transactions. Since a Fund does not pay or receive money upon
     the purchase or sale of a futures contract, it is required to deposit an amount
     of initial margin in cash, U.S. government securities or highly-liquid debt
     securities as a good faith deposit. The margin is returned to a Fund upon
     termination of the contract. Initial margin in futures transactions does not
     involve borrowing to finance the transactions.
     As the value of the underlying futures contract changes daily, a Fund pays or
     receives cash, called variation margin, equal to the daily change in value of
     the futures contract. This process is known as marking to market. Variation
     margin does not represent a borrowing or loan by a Fund.  It may be viewed as
     settlement between the Fund and the broker of the amount one would owe the
     other if the futures contract expired. When a Fund purchases futures contracts,
     an amount of cash and/or cash equivalents, equal to the underlying commodity
     value of the futures contracts (less any related margin deposits), will be
     deposited in a segregated account with a Fund's custodian to collateralize the
     position and insure that the use of futures contracts is unleveraged. A Fund is
     also required to deposit and maintain margin when it writes call options on
     futures contracts.
     A Fund will not enter into a futures contract or purchase an option thereon for
     other than hedging purposes if immediately thereafter the initial margin
     deposits for futures contracts held by it, plus premiums paid by it for open
     options on futures contracts, would exceed 5% of the market value of its net
     assets, after taking into account the unrealized profits and losses on those
     contracts it has entered into.  However, in the case of an option that is
     in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money amount may be excluded
     in computing such 5%.
     Put Options on Financial and Stock Index Futures Contracts.  A Fund may
     purchase listed put options on financial and stock index futures contracts to
     protect portfolio securities against decreases in value. Unlike entering
     directly into a futures contract, which requires the purchaser to buy a
     financial instrument on a set date at a specified price, the purchase of a put
     option on a futures contract entitles (but does not obligate) its purchaser to
     decide on or before a future date whether to assume a short position at the
     specified price.
     Generally, if the hedged portfolio securities decrease in value during the term
     of an option, the related futures contracts will also decrease in value and the
     option will increase in value. In such an event, a Fund will normally close out
     its option by selling an identical option. If the hedge is successful, the
     proceeds received by a Fund upon the sale of the second option will be large
     enough to offset both the premium paid by a Fund for the original option plus
     the decrease in value of the hedged securities.
     Alternatively, a Fund may exercise its put option to close out the position. To
     do so, it would simultaneously enter into a futures contract of the type
     underlying the option (for a price less than the strike price of the option)
     and exercise the option. A Fund would then deliver the futures contract in
     return for payment of the strike price. If a Fund neither closes out nor
     exercises an option, the option will expire on the date provided in the option
     contract, and only the premium paid for the contract will be lost.
     A Fund may also write (sell) listed put options on financial or stock index
     futures contracts to hedge its portfolio against a decrease in market interest
     rates or an increase in stock prices.  A Fund will use these transactions to
     purchase portfolio securities in the future at price levels existing at the
     time it enters into the transaction.  When a Fund sells a put on a futures
     contract, it receives a cash premium in exchange for granting to the buyer of
     the put the right to receive from a Fund, at the strike price, a short position
     in such futures contract. This is so even though the strike price upon exercise
     of the option is greater than the value of the futures position received by
     such holder. As market interest rates decrease or stock prices increase, the
     market price of the underlying futures contract normally increases.  When the
     underlying futures contract increases, the buyer of the put option has less
     reason to exercise the put because the buyer can sell the same futures contract
     at a higher price in the market.  If the value of the underlying futures
     position is not such that exercise of the option would be profitable to the
     option holder, the option will generally expire without being exercised. The
     premium received by a Fund can then be used to offset the higher prices of
     portfolio securities to be purchased in the future.
     In order to avoid the exercise of an option sold by it, generally a Fund will
     cancel its obligation under the option by entering into a closing purchase
     transaction, unless it is determined to be in a Fund's interest to deliver the
     underlying futures position. A closing purchase transaction consists of the
     purchase by a Fund of an option having the same term as the option sold by a
     Fund, and has the effect of canceling a Fund's position as a seller. The
     premium which a Fund will pay in executing a closing purchase transaction may
     be higher than the premium received when the option was sold, depending in
     large part upon the relative price of the underlying futures position at the
     time of each transaction.  If the hedge is successful, the cost of buying the
     second option will be less than the premium received by a Fund for the initial
     option.
     Call Options on Financial and Stock Index Futures Contracts.  A Fund may write
     (sell) listed and over-the-counter call options on financial and stock index
     futures contracts to hedge its portfolio. When a Fund writes a call option on a
     futures contract, it undertakes to sell a futures contract at the fixed price
     at any time during the life of the option. As stock prices fall or market
     interest rates rise, causing the prices of futures to go down, a Fund's
     obligation to sell a futures contract costs less to fulfill, causing the value
     of the Fund's call option position to increase.  In other words, as the
     underlying futures price goes down below the strike price, the buyer of the
     option has no reason to exercise the call, so that a Fund keeps the premium
     received for the option. This premium can substantially offset the drop in
     value of a Fund's portfolio securities.
     Prior to the expiration of a call written by a Fund, or exercise of it by the
     buyer, a Fund may close out the option by buying an identical option. If the
     hedge is successful, the cost of the second option will be less than the
     premium received by a Fund for the initial option. The net premium income of a
     Fund will then substantially offset the decrease in value of the hedged
     securities.
     A Fund may buy a listed call option on a financial or stock index futures
     contract to hedge against decreases in market interest rates or increases in
     stock price.  A Fund will use these transactions to purchase portfolio
     securities in the future at price levels existing at the time it enters into
     the transaction.  When a Fund purchases a call on a financial futures contract,
     it receives in exchange for the payment of a cash premium the right, but not
     the obligation, to enter into the underlying futures contract at a strike price
     determined at the time the call was purchased, regardless of the comparative
     market value of such futures position at the time the option is exercised. The
     holder of a call option has the right to receive a long (or buyer's) position
     in the underlying futures contract.  As market interest rates fall or stock
     prices increase, the value of the underlying futures contract will normally
     increase, resulting in an increase in value of a Fund's option position.  When
     the market price of the underlying futures contract increases above the strike
     price plus premium paid, a Fund could exercise its option and buy the futures
     contract below market price.  Prior to the exercise or expiration of the call
     option, a Fund could sell an identical call option and close out its position.
     If the premium received upon selling the offsetting call is greater than the
     premium originally paid, a Fund has completed a successful hedge.
     Limitation on Open Futures Positions.  A Fund will not maintain open positions
     in futures contracts it has sold or call options it has written on futures
     contracts if together the value of the open positions exceeds the current
     market value of a Fund's portfolio plus or minus the unrealized gain or loss on
     those open positions, adjusted for the correlation of volatility between the
     hedged securities and the futures contracts. If this limitation is exceeded at
     any time, a Fund will take prompt action to close out a sufficient number of
     open contracts to bring its open futures and options positions within this
     limitation.

     Purchasing Put and Call Options on Securities.  A Fund may purchase put options
     on portfolio securities to protect against price movements in a Fund's
     portfolio. A put option gives a Fund, in return for a premium, the right to
     sell the underlying security to the writer (seller) at a specified price during
     the term of the option.  A Fund may purchase call options on securities
     acceptable for purchase to protect against price movements by locking in on a
     purchase price for the underlying security.  A call option gives a Fund, in
     return for a premium, the right to buy the underlying security from the seller
     at a specified price during the term of the option.
     Writing Covered Call and Put Options on Securities.  A Fund may write covered
     call and put options to generate income and thereby protect against price
     movements in a Fund's portfolio securities. As writer of a call option, a Fund
     has the obligation, upon exercise of the option during the option period, to
     deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price. The Fund
     may only sell call options either on securities held in its portfolio or on
     securities which it has the right to obtain without payment of further
     consideration (or has segregated cash or U.S. government securities in the
     amount of any additional consideration).  As a writer of a put option, a Fund
     has the obligation to purchase a security from the purchaser of the option upon
     the exercise of the option.  In the case of put options, a Fund will segregate
     cash or U.S. Treasury obligations with a value equal to or greater than the
     exercise price of the underlying securities.
     Stock Index Options.  A Fund may purchase or sell put or call options on stock
     indices listed on national securities exchanges or traded in the
     over-the-counter market.  A stock index fluctuates with changes in the market
     values of the stocks included in the index.  Upon the exercise of the option,
     the holder of a call option has the right to receive, and the writer of a put
     option has the obligation to deliver, a cash payment equal to the difference
     between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option.
     The effectiveness of purchasing stock index options will depend upon the extent
     to which price movements in a Fund's portfolio correlate with price movements
     of the stock index selected.  The value of an index option depends upon
     movements in the level of the index rather than the price of a particular
     stock.  Accordingly, successful use by a Fund of options on stock indices will
     be subject to the Adviser correctly predicting movements in the directions of
     the stock market generally or of a particular industry.  This requires
     different skills and techniques than predicting changes in the price of
     individual stocks.
     Over-the-Counter Options.  Over-the-counter options are two-party contracts
     with price and other terms negotiated between buyer and seller.  In contrast,
     exchange-traded options are third-party contracts with standardized strike
     prices and expiration dates and are purchased from a clearing corporation.
     Exchange-traded options have a continuous liquid market while over-the-counter
     options may not.  A Fund may generally purchase and write over-the-counter
     options on portfolio securities or securities indices in negotiated
     transactions with the buyers or writers of the options when options on a Fund's
     portfolio securities or securities indices are not traded on an exchange.  A
     Fund purchases and writes options only with investment dealers and other
     financial institutions deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.
     Risks.  When a Fund uses futures and options on futures as hedging devices,
     there is a risk that the prices of the securities or foreign currency subject
     to the futures contracts may not correlate perfectly with the prices of the
     securities or currency in a Fund's portfolio.  This may cause the futures
     contract and any related options to react differently to market changes than
     the portfolio securities or foreign currency.  In addition, the Adviser could
     be incorrect in its expectations about the direction or extent of market
     factors such as stock price movements or foreign currency exchange rate
     fluctuations.  In these events, a Fund may lose money on the futures contract
     or option.
     When a Fund purchases futures contracts, an amount of cash and cash
     equivalents, equal to the underlying commodity value of the futures contracts
     (less any related margin deposits), will be deposited in a segregated account
     with a Fund's custodian or the broker, to collateralize the position and
     thereby insure that the use of such futures contract is unleveraged.  When a
     Fund sells futures contracts, it will either own or have the right to receive
     the underlying future or security, or will make deposits to collateralize the
     position as discussed above.
Lending of Portfolio Securities.  In order to generate additional income, a Fund
may lend portfolio securities.  When a Fund lends portfolio securities, it will
receive either cash or liquid securities as collateral from the borrower.  A Fund
will reinvest cash collateral in short-term liquid securities that qualify as an
otherwise acceptable investment for the Fund.  If the market value of the loaned
securities increases, the borrower must furnish additional collateral to a Fund.
During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays a Fund any
dividends or interest paid on such securities. Loans are subject to termination at
the option of a Fund or the borrower. A Fund may pay reasonable administrative and
custodial fees in connection with a loan and may pay a negotiated portion of the
interest earned on the cash or equivalent collateral to a securities lending agent
or broker. The Funds currently lend their portfolio securities through Marshall &
Ilsley Trust Company (M&I Trust Company), as agent. The Funds and M&I Trust have
received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits M&I
Trust Company to charge, and the Funds to pay, market-based compensation for M&I
Trust Company's services as securities lending agent.
Securities Lending Risks.  When a Fund lends its portfolio securities, it may not
be able to get them back from the borrower on a timely basis. If this occurs, a
Fund may lose certain investment opportunities. A Fund is also subject to the risks
associated with the investments of cash collateral, usually fixed-income securities
risk.
Mortgage-Backed   Securities   represent   interests  in  pools  of  mortgages.   The
underlying  mortgages  normally have similar  interest  rates,  maturities  and other
terms.  Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest rates.  Interests in pools of
adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.
Mortgage-backed   securities  come  in  a  variety  of  forms.  Many  have  extremely
complicated   terms.   The  simplest   form  of   mortgage-backed   securities  is  a
"pass-through  certificate." Holders of pass-through  certificates receive a pro rata
share of the  payments  from the  underlying  mortgages.  Holders  also receive a pro
rata  share  of any  prepayments,  so  they  assume  all the  prepayment  risk of the
underlying mortgages.
Collateralized   mortgage   obligations  (CMOs)  are  complicated   instruments  that
allocate payments and prepayments from an underlying  pass-through  certificate among
holders of different classes of  mortgage-backed  securities.  This creates different
prepayment and market risks for each CMO class.
In addition, CMOs may allocate interest payments to one class (IOs) and principal
payments to another class (POs). POs increase in value when prepayment rates
increase. In contrast, IOs decrease in value when prepayments increase, because the
underlying mortgages generate less interest payments. However, IO prices tend to
increase when interest rates rise (and prepayments fall), making IOs a useful hedge
against market risk.
Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time without
penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance higher rate mortgages when mortgage rates
fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage-backed securities, which deprives
holders of the securities of the higher yields. Conversely, when mortgage rates
increase, prepayments due to refinancings decline. This extends the life of
mortgage-backed securities with lower yields. As a result, increases in prepayments
of premium mortgage-backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of discount
mortgage-backed securities, may reduce their yield and price.
This relationship between interest rates and mortgage prepayments makes the price
of mortgage-backed securities more volatile than most other types of fixed income
securities with comparable credit risks. Mortgage-backed securities tend to pay
higher yields to compensate for this volatility.
CMOs may include planned amortization classes (PACs) and targeted amortization
classes (TACs). PACs and TACs are issued with companion classes. PACs and TACs
receive principal payments and prepayments at a specified rate. The companion
classes receive principal payments and any prepayments in excess of this rate. In
addition, PACs will receive the companion classes' share of principal payments if
necessary to cover a shortfall in the prepayment rate. This helps PACs and TACs to
control prepayment risk by increasing the risk to their companion classes.
Another variant allocates interest payments between two classes of CMOs. One class
(Floaters) receives a share of interest payments based upon a market index such as
LIBOR. The other class (Inverse Floaters) receives any remaining interest payments
from the underlying mortgages. Floater classes receive more interest (and Inverse
Floater classes receive correspondingly less interest) as interest rates rise. This
shifts prepayment and market risks from the Floater to the Inverse Floater class,
reducing the price volatility of Floater class and increasing the price volatility
of the Inverse Floater class.

CMOs must allocate all payments received from the underlying mortgages to some
class. To capture any unallocated payments, CMOs generally have an accrual (Z)
class. Z classes do not receive any payments from the underlying mortgages until
all other CMO classes have been paid off. Once this happens, holders of Z class
CMOs receive all payments and prepayments. Similarly, real estate mortgage
investment conduits (REMICs) (offerings of multiple class mortgage backed
securities which qualify and elect treatment as such under provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code) have residual interests that receive any mortgage payments
not allocated to another REMIC class.
The degree of increased or decreased prepayment risk depends upon the structure of
the CMOs. Z classes, IOs, POs, and Inverse Floaters are among the most volatile
investment grade fixed income securities currently traded in the United States.
However, the actual returns on any type of mortgage backed security depends upon
the performance of the underlying pool of mortgages, which no one can predict and
will vary among pools.
Municipal Securities are fixed income securities issued by states,  counties,  cities
and  other  political   subdivisions   and   authorities.   Although  most  municipal
securities  are  exempt  from  federal  income  tax,  municipalities  may also  issue
taxable securities.  Tax-exempt  securities are generally  classified by their source
of payment.
    General  obligation  bonds are  supported by the issuer's  full faith and credit.
    The issuer must levy and collect  taxes  sufficient to pay principal and interest
    on the bonds.  However,  the issuer's  authority to levy additional  taxes may be
    limited by its charter or state law.
    Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific  revenues  received by the
    issuer. The revenues may consist of specific taxes,  assessments,  tolls, fees or
    other types of municipal  revenues.  For example,  a municipality may issue bonds
    to build a toll road, and pledge the tolls to repay the bonds.  Bondholders could
    not collect from the  municipality's  general taxes or revenues.  Therefore,  any
    shortfall in the tolls normally would result in a default on the bonds.
    Private  activity  bonds  are  special  revenue  bonds  used to  finance  private
    entities.  For example,  a municipality  may issue bonds to finance a new factory
    to improve its local  economy.  The  municipality  would lend the proceeds to the
    company  using the  factory,  and the  company  would  agree  make loan  payments
    sufficient  to repay  the  bonds.  The bonds  would be  payable  solely  from the
    company's  loan  payments,  not  from any  other  revenues  of the  municipality.
    Therefore,  any  default on the loan  normally  would  result in a default on the
    bonds.
    The  interest on many types of private  activity  bonds is subject to the federal
    alternative  minimum  tax.  The Funds may invest in bonds  subject to the federal
    alternative minimum tax.
    Anticipation  notes are  securities  issued in  anticipation  of the  receipt  of
    taxes,  grants,  bond proceeds or other  municipal  revenues.  For example,  many
    municipalities  collect property taxes once a year. Such municipalities may issue
    tax  anticipation  notes to fund their  operations  prior collecting these taxes.
    The  issuers  then repay the tax  anticipation  notes at the end of their  fiscal
    year, either with collected taxes or proceeds from newly issued notes or bonds.
    Tax  increment  financing  bonds are  payable  from  increases  in taxes or other
    revenues  attributable  to  projects  financed  by  the  bonds.  For  example,  a
    municipality  may issue  these  bonds to  redevelop a  commercial  area.  The tax
    increment  financing  bonds would be payable  solely  from any  increase in sales
    taxes  collected  from  merchants  in  the  area.  The  bonds  could  default  if
    merchants' sales, and related tax collections, failed to increase as anticipated.
Municipal Securities include:
o     TRANs: tax and revenue anticipation notes issued to finance working capital
      needs in anticipation of receiving taxes or other revenues;
o     TANs:  tax anticipation notes issued to finance working capital needs in
      anticipation of receiving taxes
o     RANs:   revenue anticipation notes issued to finance working capital needs in
      anticipation of receiving revenues
o     BANs: bond anticipation notes that are intended to be refinanced through a
      later issuance of longer-term bonds
o     municipal commercial paper and other short-term notes
o     variable rate demand notes
o     industrial development bonds
o     municipal bonds (including bonds having serial maturities and pre-refunded
      bonds) and leases
o     construction loan notes insured by the Federal Housing Administration and
      financed by Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae; and
o     participation, trust and partnership interests in any of the foregoing
      obligations.

Diversification of the Intermediate Tax-Free Fund's investments is obtained
geographically by purchasing issues of Municipal Securities representative of
various areas of the U.S. and general obligations of states, cities and school
districts as well as some revenue issues which meet the Funds' acceptable quality
criteria.

     Municipal Leases.  A Fund may purchase participation interests that represent
     an undivided proportional interest in lease payments by a governmental or
     nonprofit entity. The lease payments and other rights under the lease provide
     for and secure payments on the certificates. Lease obligations may be limited
     by municipal charter or the nature of the appropriation for the lease. In
     particular, lease obligations may be subject to periodic appropriation. If the
     entity does not appropriate funds for future lease payments, the entity cannot
     be compelled to make such payments. Furthermore, a lease may provide that the
     participants cannot accelerate lease obligations upon default. The participants
     would only be able to enforce lease payments as they became due. In the event
     of a default or failure of appropriation, it is unlikely that the participants
     would be able to obtain an acceptable substitute source of payment unless the
     participation interests are credit enhanced.
     The Adviser must consider the following factors in determining the liquidity of
     municipal lease securities: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the
     security; (2) the volatility of quotations and trade prices for the security;
     (3) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security and the
     number of potential purchasers; (4) dealer undertakings to make a market in the
     security; (5) the nature of the security and the nature of the marketplace
     trades; (6) the rating of the security and the financial condition and
     prospects of the issuer of the security; (7) such other factors as may be
     relevant to the Funds' ability to dispose of the security; (8) whether the
     lease can be terminated by the lessee; (9) the potential recovery, if any, from
     a sale of the leased property upon termination of the lease; (10) the lessee's
     general credit strength; (11) the likelihood that the lessee will discontinue
     appropriating funding for the leased property because the property is no longer
     deemed essential to its operations; and (12) any credit enhancement or legal
     recourse provided upon an event of non-appropriation or other termination of
     the lease.
     Variable Rate Municipal Securities.  Variable interest rates generally reduce
     changes in the market value of Municipal Securities from their original
     purchase prices.  Accordingly, as interest rates decrease or increase, the
     potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less for variable rate
     Municipal Securities than for fixed rate obligations.  Many Municipal
     Securities with variable interest rates purchased by a Fund are subject to
     repayment of principal (usually within seven days) on the Fund's demand.  For
     purposes of determining the Funds' average maturity, the maturities of these
     variable rate demand Municipal Securities (including participation interests)
     are the longer of the periods remaining until the next readjustment of their
     interest rates or the periods remaining until their principal amounts can be
     recovered by exercising the right to demand payment.  The terms of these
     variable rate demand instruments require payment of principal and accrued
     interest from the issuer of the municipal obligations, the issuer of the
     participation interests, or a guarantor of either issuer.
Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. A repurchase agreement is
a transaction in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to
sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase
price exceeds the sale price, reflecting an agreed upon interest rate effective for
the period the buyer owns the security subject to repurchase. The agreed upon
interest rate is unrelated to the interest rate on that security. The Adviser will
continually monitor the value of the underlying security to ensure that the value
of the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price. A Fund's custodian
is required to take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements.
These securities are marked to market daily. To the extent that the original seller
defaults and does not repurchase the securities from a Fund, a Fund could receive
less than the repurchase price on any sale of such securities. In the event that
such a defaulting seller files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, disposition of
such securities by a Fund might be delayed pending court action. The Funds believe
that, under the procedures normally in effect for custody of the portfolio
securities subject to repurchase agreements, a court of competent jurisdiction
would rule in favor of the Funds and allow retention or disposition of such
securities. The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and
other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
by the Adviser to be creditworthy.
Reverse repurchase agreement transactions are similar to borrowing cash. In a
reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells a portfolio security to another person,
such as a financial institution, broker, or dealer, in return for a percentage of
the instrument's market value in cash, and agrees that on a stipulated date in the
future a Fund will repurchase the portfolio at a price equal to the original sale
price plus interest. A Fund may use reverse repurchase agreements for liquidity and
may enable a Fund to avoid selling portfolio instruments at a time when a sale may
be deemed to be disadvantageous.
When effecting reverse repurchase agreements, liquid assets of a Fund, in a dollar
amount sufficient to make payment for the obligations to be purchased, are
segregated at the trade date. These securities are marked to market daily and
maintained until the transaction is settled.
Swap Transactions.  In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange
(swap) the returns (or differentials in rates of return) on particular securities,
which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The returns to be swapped are
generally calculated with respect to a return on a notional dollar amount invested
at a particular interest rate, or in a basket of securities representing a
particular index. For example, a $10 million LIBOR swap would require one party to
pay the equivalent of the London Interbank Offer Rate on $10 million principal
amount in exchange for the right to receive the equivalent of a fixed rate of
interest on $10 million principal amount. Neither party to the swap would actually
advance $10 million to the other.
The Funds will usually enter into swaps on a net basis (i.e., the two payment
streams are netted out), with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only
the net amount of the two payments. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the
Funds' obligations over its entitlements with respect to each interest rate swap
will be accrued on a daily basis, and the Funds will segregate liquid assets in an
aggregate net asset value at least equal to the accrued excess, if any, on each
business day. If a Fund enters into a swap on other than a net basis, a Fund will
segregate liquid assets in the full amount accrued on a daily basis of a Fund's
obligations with respect to the swap. If there is a default by the other party to
such a transaction, the Funds will have contractual remedies pursuant to the
agreements related to the transaction.
The Funds expect to enter into swap transactions primarily to hedge against changes
in the price of other portfolio securities. For example, a Fund may hedge against
changes in the market value of a fixed rate security by entering into a swap that
requires a Fund to pay the same or a lower fixed rate of interest on a notional
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the security in exchange for a
variable rate of interest based on a market index. Interest accrued on the hedged
note would then equal or exceed the Funds' obligations under the swap, while
changes in the market value of the swap would largely offset any changes in the
market value of the note. The Funds may also enter into swaps to preserve or
enhance a return or spread on a portfolio security.  The Funds do not intend to use
these transactions in a speculative manner.
The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of
banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and agents utilizing
standardized swap documentation. The Adviser has determined that, as a result, the
swap market has become relatively liquid. Interest rate caps and floors are more
recent innovations for which standardized documentation has  not  yet been
developed and, accordingly, they are less liquid than other swaps. To the extent
swaps, caps or floors are determined by the Adviser to be illiquid, they will be
included in a Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid securities. To the
extent a Fund sells caps and floors, it will maintain in a segregated account cash
and/or U.S. government securities having an aggregate net asset value at least
equal to the full amount, accrued on a daily basis, of a Fund's obligations with
respect to caps and floors.
The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment
techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio
securities transactions. If the Adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of market
values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of
a Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if these investment
techniques were not utilized. Moreover, even if the Adviser is correct in its
forecasts, there is a risk that the swap position may correlate imperfectly with
the price of the portfolio security being hedged.
Swap transactions do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying
assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to a default on an
interest rate swap is limited to the net asset value of the swap together with the
net amount of interest payments owed to a Fund by the defaulting party. A default
on a portfolio security hedged by an interest rate swap would also expose a Fund to
the risk of having to cover its net obligations under the swap with income from
other portfolio securities.
Temporary Investments. There may be times when market conditions warrant a
defensive position (this rarely applies to the Money Market Fund). During these
market conditions each of the Funds may temporarily invest without limit in
short-term debt obligations (money market instruments). These investments include
commercial paper, bank instruments, U.S. government obligations, repurchase
agreements, securities of other investment companies investing in short-term debt
securities, and foreign short-term debt securities (for the International Stock
Fund).
Treasury Securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United
States. Investors regard treasury securities as having the lowest credit risk.
Warrants give a Fund the option to buy the issuer's stock or other equity
securities at a specified price. A Fund may buy the designated shares by paying the
exercise price before the warrant expires. Warrants may become worthless if the
price of the stock does not rise above the exercise price by the expiration date.
Rights are the same as warrants, except they are typically issued to existing
stockholders.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions.  These transactions are made to
secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield.  Settlement dates
may be a month or more after entering into these transactions, and the market
values of the securities purchased may vary from the purchase prices.  Other than
normal transaction costs, no fees or expenses are incurred.  However, liquid assets
of a Fund are segregated on a Fund's records at the trade date in an amount
sufficient to make payment for the securities to be purchased.  These assets are
marked to market daily and are maintained until the transaction has been settled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS
The following investment limitations are fundamental and cannot be changed for a
Fund unless authorized by the "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of
that Fund, as defined by the Investment Company Act.
Selling Short and Buying on Margin

The Funds will not sell any securities short or purchase any securities on margin,
but may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for clearance of
purchases and sales of portfolio securities. A deposit or payment by a Fund of
initial or variation margin in connection with futures contracts, forward contracts
or related options transactions is not considered the purchase of a security on
margin.
Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money

The Funds will not issue senior securities except that each Fund may borrow money,
directly or through reverse repurchase agreements, in amounts up to one-third of
the value of its total assets (net assets in the case of the Money Market Fund,
Short-Term Income Fund and Intermediate Bond Fund) including the amounts borrowed;
and except to the extent that a Fund is permitted to enter into futures contracts,
options or forward contracts.  Except for the International Stock Fund, a Fund will
not borrow money or engage in reverse repurchase agreements for investment
leverage, but rather as a temporary, extraordinary, or emergency measure or to
facilitate management of its portfolio by enabling the Fund to meet redemption
requests when the liquidation of portfolio securities is deemed to be inconvenient
or disadvantageous.  Except for the International Stock Fund, a Fund will not
purchase any securities while any borrowings in excess of 5% of its total assets
are outstanding.
Pledging Assets

The Funds will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any assets except to secure
permitted borrowings. In those cases, each Fund may pledge assets having a market
value not exceeding the lesser of the dollar amounts borrowed or 15% of the value
of its total assets at the time of the pledge. For purposes of this limitation, the
following are not deemed to be pledges: margin deposits for the purchase and sale
of futures contracts and related options; and segregation of collateral
arrangements made in connection with options activities, forward contracts or the
purchase of securities on a when-issued basis.
Lending Cash or Securities

The Funds will not lend any of their assets except portfolio securities.  Except
for the International Stock Fund, loans may not exceed one-third of the value of a
Fund's total assets.  This shall not prevent a Fund from purchasing or holding U.S.
government obligations, money market instruments, variable rate demand notes,
bonds, debentures, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other debt securities,
entering into repurchase agreements, or engaging in other transactions where
permitted by the Fund's investment goal, policies, and limitations.
Investing in Commodities

The Funds will not purchase or sell commodities, commodity contracts, or commodity
futures contracts.  However, except for the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Short-Term
Income Fund and the Money Market Fund, a Fund may purchase and sell futures
contracts and related options, and the International Stock Fund may also enter into
forward contracts and related options.
Investing in Real Estate

The Funds will not purchase or sell real estate, including limited partnership
interests, although a Fund may invest in the securities of companies whose business
involves the purchase or sale of real estate or in securities which are secured by
real estate or which represent interests in real estate.
Diversification of Investments

With respect to securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, a Fund
will not purchase securities issued by any one issuer (other than cash, cash items
or securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its
agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such
securities) if as a result more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be
invested in the securities of that issuer or if it would own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of such issuer.
Under this limitation, the Intermediate Tax Free Fund will consider each
governmental subdivision, including states and the District of Columbia,
territories, possessions of the United States, or their political subdivisions,
agencies, authorities, instrumentalities, or similar entities, a separate issuer if
its assets and revenues are separate from those of the governmental body creating
it and the security is backed only by its own assets and revenues.  Industrial
developments bonds backed only by the assets and revenues of a non-governmental
user are considered to be issued solely by that user.  If in the case of an
industrial development bond or government-issued security, a governmental or some
other entity guarantees the security, such guarantee would be considered a separate
security issued by the guarantor, subject to a limit on investments in the
guarantor of 10% of total assets.
Concentration of Investments

(Intermediate Tax-Free Fund only)
The Intermediate Tax-Free Fund will not invest 25% or more of the value of its
total assets in any one industry, except for temporary defensive purposes, the Fund
may invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in cash or cash items,
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or
instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities.
In addition, the Intermediate Tax-Free Fund may invest more than 25% of the value
of its total assets in obligations issued by any state, territory, or possession of
the United States, the District of Columbia or any of their authorities, agencies,
instrumentalities or political subdivisions, including tax-exempt project notes
guaranteed by the U.S. government, regardless of the location of the issuing
municipality.  This policy applies to securities which are related in such a way
that an economic, business, or political development affecting one security would
also affect the other securities (such as securities paid from revenues from
selected projects in transportation, public works, education, or housing).
 (All Other Funds)
A Fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry.
However, investing in U.S. government securities (and domestic bank instruments for
the Money Market Fund) shall not be considered investments in any one industry.
Underwriting

A Fund will not underwrite any issue of securities, except as it may be deemed to
be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of
restricted (the term restricted does not apply to the Intermediate Tax-Free Fund)
securities which the Fund may purchase pursuant to its investment goal, policies
and limitations.
NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS

The following investment limitations are non-fundamental and, therefore,  may be
changed by the Directors without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be
notified before any material change in these limitations becomes effective.
Investing in Illiquid and Restricted Securities

The Funds will not invest more than 15% (10% for the Money Market Fund) of the
value of their net assets in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements
providing for settlement in more than seven days after notice, non-negotiable fixed
time deposits with maturities over seven days, over-the-counter options, guaranteed
investment contracts, and certain restricted securities not determined by the
Directors to be liquid (including certain municipal leases).
Purchasing Securities to Exercise Control

The Funds will not purchase securities of a company for the purpose of exercising
control or management.
Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies

Each Fund will limit its investment in other investment companies to no more than
3% of the total outstanding voting stock of any investment company, will invest no
more than 5% of total assets in any one investment company, and will invest no more
than 10% of its total assets in investment companies in general, unless permitted
to exceed these limits by an exemptive order of the SEC. The Funds will purchase
securities of closed-end investment companies only in open market transactions
involving only customary broker's commissions. However, these limitations are not
applicable if the securities are acquired in a merger, consolidation,
reorganization, or acquisition of assets. The Money Market Fund will limit its
investments in other investment companies to those of money market funds having
investment objectives and policies similar to its own.
Investing in Options

Except for bona fide hedging purposes, a Fund may not invest more than 5% of the
value of its net assets in the sum of (a) premiums on open option positions on
futures contracts, plus (b) initial margin deposits on futures contracts.
A Fund will not purchase put options or write call options on securities unless the
securities are held in the Fund's portfolio or unless the Fund is entitled to them
in deliverable form without further payment or has segregated liquid assets in the
amount of any further payment.
A Fund will not write call options in excess of 25% of the value of its total
assets.
Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to at
the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from
any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such
restriction. For purposes of its policies and limitations, the Fund considers
instruments (such as certificates of deposit and demand and time deposits) issued
by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank or savings and loan having capital, surplus,
and undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 at the time of investment to be
cash items.
Regulatory Compliance.  The Money Market Fund may follow non-fundamental
operational policies that are more restrictive than its fundamental investment
limitations, as set forth in the Prospectus and this statement of additional
information, in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including the
provisions of and regulations under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In
particular, the Money Market Fund will comply with the various requirements of Rule
2a-7 under the Act, which regulates money market mutual funds. For example, Rule
2a-7 generally prohibits the investment of more than 5% of the Money Market Fund's
total assets in the securities of any one issuer, although the Money Market Fund's
fundamental investment limitation only requires such 5% diversification with
respect to 75% of its assets. The Money Market Fund will also determine the
effective maturity of its investments, as well as its ability to consider a
security as having received the requisite short-term ratings by NRSROs, according
to Rule 2a-7. The Money Market Fund may change these operational policies to
reflect changes in the laws and regulations without shareholder approval.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES

The following Funds have an investment policy which requires that a Fund invest,
under normal market conditions, at least 65% of its total assets (80% of net assets
for Intermediate Tax-Free Fund) in a particular type of security that is consistent
with a Fund's goals and investment strategies.
Equity Income Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets in equity
securities that generate dividend income.
Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets
in common stocks and preferred stocks of large-sized companies whose market
capitalizations generally exceed $10 billion.
Mid-Cap Value Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets in
value-oriented common and preferred stocks of medium-sized companies similar in
size to those within the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index.
Mid-Cap Growth Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets in
growth-oriented common stocks of medium-sized companies similar in size to those
within the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index.
Small-Cap Growth Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets in common
and preferred stocks issued by small-sized companies similar in size to those
within the Russell 2000 Index.
International Stock Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets in
securities of issuers domiciled in at least three different nations outside the
United States, and intends to invest at least 65% of the Fund's total assets in
common stocks, preferred stocks and other equity securities.
Government Income Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets in U.S.
government securities (not including privately issued mortgage-related securities).
Intermediate Bond Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets in bonds.
Intermediate Tax-Free Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal
securities, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax (including the
federal alternative minimum tax).
Short-Term Income Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its total assets in short-
to intermediate-term investment grade bonds and notes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USE OF THE AMORTIZED COST METHOD (MONEY MARKET FUND ONLY)

The Directors have decided that the best method for determining the value of
portfolio instruments for the Money Market Fund is amortized cost. Under this
method, portfolio instruments are valued at the acquisition cost as adjusted for
amortization of premium or accumulation of discount rather than at current market
value.
The Money Market Fund's use of the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio
instruments depends on its compliance with the provisions of Rule 2a-7 (the Rule)
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act. Under the
Rule, the Directors must establish procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the
net asset value per share, as computed for purposes of distribution and redemption,
at $1.00 per share, taking into account current market conditions and the Fund's
investment goal.
Under the Rule, the Money Market Fund is permitted to purchase instruments which
are subject to demand features or standby commitments. As defined by the Rule, a
demand feature entitles the Fund to receive the principal amount of the instrument
from the issuer or a third party on (1) no more than 30 days' notice or (2) at
specified intervals not exceeding 397 days on no more than 30 days' notice. A
standby commitment entitles the Fund to achieve same-day settlement and to receive
an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying instrument plus
accrued interest at the time of exercise.
The Money Market Fund acquires instruments subject to demand features and standby
commitments to enhance the instrument's liquidity. The Fund treats demand features
and standby commitments as part of the underlying instruments, because the Fund
does not acquire them for speculative purposes and cannot transfer them separately
from the underlying instruments. Therefore, although the Fund defines demand
features and standby commitments as puts, the Fund does not consider them to be
corporate investments for purposes of its investment policies.
Monitoring Procedures.  The Directors' procedures include monitoring the
relationship between the amortized cost value per share and the net asset value per
share based upon available indications of market value. The Directors will decide
what, if any, steps should be taken if there is a difference of more than 0.5 of 1%
between the two values. The Directors will take any steps they consider appropriate
(such as redemption in kind or shortening the average portfolio maturity) to
minimize any material dilution or other unfair results arising from differences
between the two methods of determining net asset value.
Investment Restrictions.  The Rule requires that the Money Market Fund limit its
investments to instruments that, in the opinion of the Directors, present minimal
credit risks and have received the requisite rating from one or more NRSROs.  If
the instruments are not rated, the Directors must determine that they are of
comparable quality. The Rule also requires the Fund to maintain a dollar-weighted
average portfolio maturity (not more than 90 days) appropriate to the objective of
maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. In addition, no instrument
with a remaining maturity of more than 397 days can be purchased by the Fund.
Should the disposition of a portfolio security result in a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of more than 90 days, the Money Market Fund will invest its
available cash to reduce the average maturity to 90 days or less as soon as
possible. Shares of investment companies purchased by the Fund will meet these same
criteria and will have investment policies consistent with Rule 2a-7.
Under the amortized cost method of valuation, neither the amount of daily income
nor the net asset value is affected by any unrealized appreciation or depreciation
of the portfolio.  In periods of declining interest rates, the indicated daily
yield on shares of the Money Market Fund, computed based upon amortized cost
valuation, may tend to be higher than a similar computation made by using a method
of valuation based upon market prices and estimates.  In periods of rising interest
rates, the indicated daily yield on shares of the Fund computed the same way may
tend to be lower than a similar computation made by using a method of calculation
based upon market prices and estimates.
MARKET VALUES (ALL OTHER FUNDS)

Market values of portfolio securities are determined as follows:

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

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

o     for bonds and other fixed income securities, at the last sale price on a
      national securities exchange, if available, otherwise, as determined by an
      independent pricing service;

o     for short-term obligations, according to the mean between bid and asked prices
      as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that short-term
      obligations with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of
      purchase may be valued at amortized cost or at fair market value as
      determined in good faith by the Board; and

o     for all other securities, at a fair value as determined in good faith by the
      Board.

The Funds may value securities at prices provided by independent pricing services
that may not rely exclusively on quoted prices and may consider:  institutional
trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon
rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or
factors.

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

TRADING IN FOREIGN SECURITIES

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing
of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its net asset value, the
International Stock Fund values foreign securities at the latest closing price on
the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE.
Certain foreign currency exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate
prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies
are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Occasionally, events that affect
these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are
determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value
of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith by the Directors, although the actual calculation may be
done by others.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT DO SHARES COST?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Except under certain circumstances described in the Prospectus, shares are sold at
their net asset value (plus a sales charge) on days the New York Stock Exchange is
open for business. The procedure for purchasing shares is explained in the
Prospectus under "How to Buy Shares" and "What Do Shares Cost."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW ARE THE FUND SHARES SOLD?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the Distributor's Contract with the Funds, the Distributor (Federated
Securities Corp.), located at Federated Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue,
Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779, offers shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis. Texas
residents must purchase shares of the Funds through M&I Brokerage Services, Inc. at
1-800-580-FUND (3863), or through any authorized broker-dealer.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

M&I Trust Company, through MFIS, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Funds.
As such, MFIS provides shareholder services which include, but are not limited to,
distributing Prospectuses and other information, providing shareholder assistance,
and communicating or facilitating purchases and redemption of shares.
The Funds may pay M&I Trust Company for providing shareholder services and
maintaining shareholder accounts. M&I Trust Company may select others (including
Federated Shareholder Services, a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc.) to
perform these services for their customers and may pay them fees.

SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
Investment professionals may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor
and/or M&I Trust Company (but not out of Fund assets). The Distributor and/or M&I
Trust Company may be reimbursed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO BUY SHARES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXCHANGING SECURITIES FOR SHARES

You may contact the Distributor to request a purchase of shares in an exchange for
securities you own.  The Fund reserves the right to determine whether to accept
your securities and the minimum market value to accept.  The Fund will value your
securities in the same manner as it values its assets.  This exchange is treated as
a sale of your securities for federal tax purposes.
REDEMPTION IN KIND

Although the Funds intend to pay share redemptions in cash, the Funds reserve the
right, as described below, to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of the Fund's portfolio securities.
Because the Corporation has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are obligated to pay share redemptions to
any one shareholder in cash only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of a Fund's net
assets represented by such share class during any 90-day period.
Any share redemption payment greater than this amount will also be in cash unless
the Funds' Directors determine that payment should be in kind.  In such a case, a
Fund will pay all or a portion of the remainder of the redemption in portfolio
securities, valued in the same way as the Fund determines its net asset value.  The
portfolio securities will be selected in a manner that the Funds' Directors deems
fair and equitable and, to the extent available, such securities will be readily
marketable.
Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash redemption. If redemption is made in
kind, shareholders would incur transaction costs in selling the portfolio
securities received, and the proceeds of such sales, when made, may be more or less
than the value on the redemption date.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VOTING RIGHTS
Shareholders of each Fund are entitled: (i) to one vote per full share of Common
Stock; (ii) to distributions declared by Directors; and (iii) upon liquidation of
the Corporation, to participate ratably in the assets of the Fund available for
distribution.  Each share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in the
election of Directors and other matters submitted to shareholders for vote.  All
shares of each portfolio or class in the Corporation have equal voting rights,
except that only shares of a particular portfolio or class are entitled to vote on
matters affecting that portfolio or class. Consequently, the holders of more than
50% of the Corporation's shares of common stock voting for the election of
Directors can elect the entire Board of Directors, and, in such event, the holders
of the Corporation's remaining shares voting for the election of Directors will not
be able to elect any person or persons to the Board of Directors.
The Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (the WBCL) permits registered investment
companies, such as the Corporation, to operate without an annual meeting of
shareholders under specified circumstances if an annual meeting is not required by
the Act.  The Corporation has adopted the appropriate provisions in its By-laws and
does not anticipate holding an annual meeting of shareholders to elect Directors
unless otherwise required by the Act.  Directors may be removed by the shareholders
at a special meeting.  A special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the
Directors upon written request of shareholders owning at least 10% of the
Corporation's outstanding voting shares.
The shares are redeemable and are transferable.  All shares issued and sold by the
Corporation will be fully paid and nonassessable except as provided in WBCL Section
180.0622(2)(b). Fractional shares of common stock entitle the holder to the same
rights as whole shares of common stock except the right to receive a certificate
evidencing such fractional shares.

Shareholders owning 25% or more of the outstanding shares of a Fund may be in
control and be able to affect the outcome of certain matters presented for a vote
of shareholders.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FEDERAL INCOME TAX

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

Each Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax
purposes so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the
Corporation's other portfolios will be separate from those realized by each Fund.
Each Fund is entitled to a loss carry-forward, which may reduce the taxable income
or gain that each Fund would realize, and to which the shareholder would be
subject, in the future.

The dividends received deduction for corporations will apply to ordinary income
distributions to the extent the distribution represents amounts that would qualify
for the dividends received deduction to the Equity Funds if the Equity Funds were a
regular corporation, and to the extent designated by the Equity Funds as so
qualifying.  Otherwise, these dividends and any short-term capital gains are
taxable as ordinary income.  No portion of any income dividends paid by the other
Funds is eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporations.
These dividends, and any short-term capital gains, are taxable as ordinary income.

Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, dividends representing net interest earned on
certain "private activity" municipal bonds may be included in calculating the
federal individual alternative minimum tax or the federal alternative minimum tax
for corporations. Dividends of the Intermediate Tax-Free Fund representing net
interest income earned on some temporary investments and any realized net
short-term gains are taxed as ordinary income.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS

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

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

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

If more than 50% of the value of the Fund's assets at the end of the tax year is
represented by stock or securities of foreign corporations, the Fund will qualify
for certain Code provisions that allow its shareholders to claim a foreign tax
credit or deduction on their U.S. income tax returns. The Code may limit a
shareholder's ability to claim a foreign tax credit. Shareholders who elect to
deduct their portion of the Fund's foreign taxes rather than take the foreign tax
credit must itemize deductions on their income tax returns. The Funds expect that
only International Stock Fund will qualify for these Code provisions.

STATE AND LOCAL TAXES

Distributions representing net interest received on tax-exempt municipal securities
are not necessarily free from income taxes of any state or local taxing authority.
State laws differ on this issue, and you should consult your tax adviser for
specific details regarding the status of your account under state and local tax
laws, including treatment of distributions as income or return of capital.
CAPITAL GAINS

Capital gains, when realized by the Funds, could result in an increase in
distributions.  Capital losses could result in a decrease in distributions.  When a
Fund realizes net long-term capital gains, it will distribute them at least once
every 12 months.

ASSISTANT
SECRETARY

ADVISER TO THE FUNDS

The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the
Fund.  The Funds' investment adviser is M&I Investment Management Corp. (Adviser),
a Wisconsin corporation headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Adviser provides
investment management services for investment companies, financial institutions,
individuals, corporations and not-for-profit organizations, and is registered as an
investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Adviser is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (M&I Corp.), a bank
holding company headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with approximately $26.1
billion in assets.  The Adviser shall not be liable to the Corporation, the Funds
or any shareholder of the Funds for any losses that may be sustained in the
purchase, holding, or sale of any security, or for anything done or omitted by it,
except acts or omissions involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract
with the Corporation. Because of the internal controls maintained by the Adviser's
affiliates to restrict the flow of non-public information, Fund investments are
typically made without any knowledge of the lending relationships affiliates of the
Adviser may have with an issuer.
SUB-ADVISER TO INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND

BPI Global Asset Management LLP (BPI) is the Sub-Adviser to the International Stock
Fund. It is the Adviser's responsibility to select a Sub-Adviser for the
International Stock Fund that has distinguished itself in its area of expertise in
asset management and to review the Sub-Adviser's performance. The Adviser provides
investment management evaluation services by performing initial due diligence on
BPI and thereafter monitoring BPI's performance through quantitative and
qualitative analysis, as well as periodic in-person, telephonic and written
consultations with BPI. In evaluating BPI, the Adviser considers, among other
factors, BPI's level of expertise; relative performance and consistency of
performance over a minimum period of time; level of adherence to investment
discipline or philosophy; personnel, facilities and financial strength; and quality
of service and client communications. The Adviser has responsibility for
communicating performance expectations and evaluations to BPI and ultimately
recommending to the Corporation's Directors whether BPI's contract should be
renewed, modified or terminated. The Adviser provides written reports to the
Directors regarding the results of its evaluation and monitoring functions. The
Adviser is also responsible for conducting all operations of the International
Stock Fund, except those operations contracted to BPI, the custodian, the transfer
agent, and the administrator. Although BPI's activities are subject to oversight by
the Directors and officers of the Corporation, neither the Directors, the officers,
nor the Adviser evaluates the investment merits of BPI's individual security
selections. BPI has complete discretion to purchase, manage and sell portfolio
securities for the International Stock Fund, subject to the International Stock
Fund's investment goal, policies and limitations. For its services under the
Sub-advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.40%
of the International Stock Fund's average daily net assets. The Sub-Adviser is paid
by the Adviser and not by the International Stock Fund. However, BPI will furnish
to the Adviser such investment advice, statistical and other factual information as
requested by the Adviser. BPI, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, provides
portfolio management services for investment companies, corporations, trusts,
estates, pension and profit sharing plans, individuals, and other institutions
located principally in Canada and the United States, and is an investment adviser
registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. BPI is a Delaware
limited liability partnership between CI Global Holdings USA, Inc. (CI Holdings
USA) as a 51% partner, and JBS Advisors, Inc. (JBS) as a 49% partner. CI Holdings
USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CI Global Holdings, Inc., which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CI Mutual Funds, Inc. CI Mutual Funds, Inc. is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of C.I. Fund Management, Inc., a publicly-traded company
located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  JBS is owned by BPI's portfolio managers and
its President.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001, the Adviser paid BPI $1,681,155.  BPI
became Sub-Adviser on March 29, 1999, but was compensated for advisory services
beginning May 1, 1999.  Prior to March 26, 1999, Templeton Investment Counsel, Inc.
(TICI) served as the International Stock Fund's former Sub-Adviser. For the period
from September 1, 1998 to May 1, 1999 (the effective date of termination of TICI's
sub-advisory contract), the Adviser paid TICI $645,806. For the fiscal years ended
August 31, 1998 and 1997, the Adviser paid TICI $1,072,613 and $816,182,
respectively.

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

The Adviser and/or BPI may select brokers and dealers who offer brokerage and
research services. These services may be furnished directly to a Fund, the Adviser,
or BPI and may include:  advice as to the advisability of investing in securities;
security analysis and reports; economic studies; industry studies; receipt of
quotations for portfolio evaluations; and similar services.
The Adviser, BPI, and their affiliates exercise reasonable business judgment in
selecting brokers who offer brokerage and research services to execute securities
transactions. They determine in good faith that commissions charged by such persons
are reasonable in relationship to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided.
Research services provided by brokers and dealers may be used by the Adviser and
BPI in advising the Funds and other accounts. To the extent that receipt of these
services may supplant services for which the Adviser, BPI, or their affiliates
might otherwise have paid, it would tend to reduce their expenses.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001, aggregate total commissions with
brokers to whom transactions were directed based on brokerage and research services
provided were $1,925,224.44 on transaction with an aggregate principal value of
$1,039,123,591.93.


ADMINISTRATOR

M&I Trust is the administrator of the Funds and Federated Services Company is the
sub-administrator. As administrator, M&I Trust will be entitled to receive fees
directly from the Funds in amounts up to a maximum annual percentage of the
aggregate Funds' ADNA as follows:

HOW DO THE FUNDS MEASURE PERFORMANCE?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds may advertise each Fund's share performance by using the Securities and
Exchange Commission's (SEC) standard method for calculating performance applicable
to all mutual funds.  The SEC also permits this standard performance information to
be accompanied by non-standard performance information.

Unless otherwise stated, any quoted share performance reflects the effect of
non-recurring charges, such as maximum sales charges, which, if excluded, would
increase the total return and yield.  The performance of shares depends upon such
variables as: portfolio quality; average portfolio maturity; type and value of
portfolio securities; changes in interest rates; changes or differences in a Fund's
or any class of shares' expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings and
offering price per share fluctuate daily.  Both net earnings and offering price per
share are factors in the computation of yield and total return.

TOTAL RETURN

Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of
shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and
capital gains distributions.
The average annual total return for a Fund shares is the average compounded rate of
return for a given period that would equate a $1,000 initial investment to the
ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is computed
by multiplying the number of shares owned at the end of the period by the net asset
value per share at the end of the period. The number of shares owned at the end of
the period is based on the number of shares purchased at the beginning of the
period with $1,000, adjusted over the period by any additional shares, assuming the
quarterly reinvestment of any dividends and distributions.
The quoted performance data for the Small-Cap Growth Fund includes the performance
of a predecessor collective trust fund for periods before the Fund's registration
statement became effective on August 30, 1996, as adjusted to reflect the Fund's
expenses. The collective trust fund was not registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and therefore was not subject to certain investment
restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the collective trust fund had
been registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely
affected.
YIELD (ALL FUNDS) AND TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD (INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE FUND ONLY)

The Money Market Fund calculates the yield for Investor Class of Shares daily,
based upon the seven days ending on the day of the calculation, called the base
period. This yield is computed by:
o     determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical account with a
          balance of one share at the beginning of the base period, with the net
          change excluding capital changes but including the value of any additional
          shares purchased with dividends earned from the original one share and all
          dividends declared on the original and any purchased shares;

o     dividing the net change in the account's value by the value of the account at
          the beginning of the base period to determine the base period return; and

o     multiplying the base period return by 365/7.

The Money Market Fund's yield for Investor Class of Shares for the seven-day period
ended August 31, 2001, was 3.46%.
The yield for the other Funds' shares is calculated by dividing: (i)the net
investment income per share earned by a Fund's shares over a thirty-day period; by
(ii) the maximum offering price per share of the Fund on the last day of the
period. This number is then annualized using semi-annual compounding. This means
that the amount of income generated during the thirty-day period is assumed to be
generated each month over a 12-month period and is reinvested every six months.
The tax equivalent yield for Intermediate Tax-Free Fund shares is calculated
similarly to the yield, but is adjusted to reflect the taxable yield that shares
would have had to earn to equal the actual yield, assuming a specific tax rate.
The yield for the Funds and in the case of the Intermediate Tax-Free Fund, the
tax-equivalent yield do not necessarily reflect income actually earned by the Fund
because of certain adjustments required by the SEC and, therefore, may not
correlate to the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
The Intermediate Tax-Free Fund's tax-equivalent yield for the 30-day period ended
August 31, 2001 was 5.84%.
To the extent that financial institutions and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in a Fund's
shares, the Fund's shares performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.
EFFECTIVE YIELD (MONEY MARKET FUND ONLY)

The Money Market Fund's effective yield for Investor Class of Shares is computed by
compounding the unannualized base period return by: adding 1 to the base period
return; raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and subtracting 1 from the result.
The Money Market Fund's effective yield for Investor Class of Shares for the
seven-day period ended August 31, 2001, was 3.52%.

Advertising and sales literature may include:

o references to ratings, rankings, and financial publications and/or performance
  comparisons of the Funds' shares to certain indices;
o charts, graphs and illustrations using the Funds' returns, or returns in general,
  that demonstrate investment concepts such as tax-deferred compounding, dollar-cost
  averaging and systematic investment;
o discussions of economic, financial and political developments and their impact on
  the securities market, including the portfolio manager's views on how such
  developments could impact the Funds; and
o information about the mutual fund industry from sources such as the Investment
  Company Institute.

The Funds may compare their performance, or performance for the types of securities
in which it invests, to a variety of other investments, including federally insured
bank products such as bank savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and Treasury
bills.

The Funds may quote information from sources the Funds believe are reliable
regarding individual countries and regions, world stock exchanges, and economic and
demographic statistics.

You may use financial publications and/or indices to obtain a more complete view of
share performance.  When comparing performance, you should consider all relevant
factors such as the composition of the index used, prevailing market conditions,
portfolio compositions of other funds, and methods used to value portfolio
securities and compute offering price.  The financial publications and/or indices
which the Funds' use in advertising may include:
o     Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (EAFE)
          is a market capitalization weighted foreign securities index, which is
          widely used to measure the performance of European, Australian and New
          Zealand and Far Eastern stock markets. The index covers approximately
          1,020 companies drawn from 18 countries in the above regions. The index
          values its securities daily in both U.S. dollars and local currency and
          calculates total returns monthly. EAFE U.S. dollar total return is a net
          dividend figure less Luxembourg withholding tax. The EAFE is monitored by
          Capital International, S.A., Geneva, Switzerland.

o     Lipper, Inc. ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative
          calculations using total return. Total return assumes the reinvestment of
          all capital gains distributions and income dividends and takes into
          account any change in net asset value over a specific period of time. From
          time to time, a Fund will quote its Lipper ranking in advertising and
          sales literature.

o     Consumer Price Index is generally considered to be a measure of inflation.

o     Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is an unmanaged index representing share
          prices of major industrial corporations, public utilities, and
          transportation companies. Produced by Dow Jones & Company, it is cited as
          a principal indicator of market conditions.

o     Standard & Poor's Daily Stock Price Index Of 500 Common Stocks, a composite
          index of common stocks in industry, transportation, financial, and public
          utility companies. The Standard & Poor's index assumes reinvestment of all
          dividends paid by stocks listed on the index. Taxes due on any of these
          distributions are not included, nor are brokerage or other fees calculated
          in the Standard & Poor's figures.

o     Russell 1000 Growth Index consists of those Russell 1000(R) securities with a
          greater-than-average growth orientation. Securities in this index tend to
          exhibit higher price-to-book and price-earnings ratios, lower dividend
          yields and higher forecasted growth rates.

o     Russell 1000 Value Index consists of those Russell 1000(R) securities with a
          less-than-average growth orientation. It represents the universe of
          stocks from which value managers typically select. Securities in this
          index tend to exhibit low price-to-book and price-earnings ratios, higher
          dividend yields and lower forecasted growth values than the Growth
          universe.

o     Russell 2000 Index is a broadly diversified index consisting of approximately
          2,000 small capitalization common stocks that can be used to compare to
          the total returns of funds whose portfolios are invested primarily in
          small capitalization common stocks.

o     Standard & Poor's Ratings Group Small Stock Index is a broadly diversified
          index consisting of approximately 600 small capitalization common stocks
          that can be used to compare to the total returns of funds whose portfolios
          are invested primarily in small capitalization common stocks.

o     Morningstar, Inc., an independent rating service, is the publisher of the
          bi-weekly Mutual Fund Values. Mutual Fund Values  rates more than 1,000
          NASDAQ-listed mutual funds of all types, according to their risk-adjusted
          returns. The maximum rating is five stars, and ratings are effective for
          two weeks.

o     Bank Rate Monitor National Index, Miami Beach, Florida, is a financial
          reporting service which publishes weekly average rates of 50 leading bank
          and thrift institution money market deposit accounts. The rates published
          in the index are an average of the personal account rates offered on the
          Wednesday prior to the date of publication by ten of the largest banks and
          thrifts in each of the five largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical
          Areas. Account minimums range upward from $2,500 in each institution and
          compounding methods vary. If more than one rate is offered, the lowest
          rate is used. Rates are subject to change at any time specified by the
          institution.

o     Money Fund ReportTM (formerly, IBC Financial Data) publishes annualized yields
          of over 300 taxable money market funds on a weekly basis and through its
          Money Market Insight publication reports monthly and 12 month-to-date
          investment results for the same money funds.

o     The S&P/BARRA Value Index (Large-Cap) and the S&P/BARRA Growth Index
          (Large-Cap)  are constructed by Standard & Poor's and BARRA, Inc., an
          investment technology and consulting company, by separating the S&P 500
          Index into value stocks and growth stocks.  The S&P/BARRA Growth and
          S&P/BARRA Value Indices are constructed by dividing the stocks in the S&P
          500 Index according to their price-to-book ratios.  The S&P/BARRA Growth
          Index, contains companies with higher price-to-earnings ratios, low
          dividends yields, and high earnings growth (concentrated in electronics,
          computers, health care, and drugs).  The Value Index contains companies
          with lower price-to-book ratios and has 50% of the capitalization of the
          S&P 500 Index.  These stocks tend to have lower price-to-earnings ratios,
          high dividend yields, and low historical and predicted earnings growth
          (concentrated in energy, utility and financial sectors).  The S&P/BARRA
          Value and S&P/BARRA Growth Indices are capitalization-weighted and
          rebalanced semi-annually.  Standard & Poor's/BARRA calculates these total
          return indices with dividends reinvested.

o     The S&P/BARRA Value Index (Mid-Cap) and the S&P/BARRA Growth Index (Mid-Cap)
          are designed to differentiate between fast growing companies and slower
          growing or undervalued companies. Standard & Poor's and Barra cooperate to
          employ a Price to Book value calculation, whereby the market capitalization
          of an index (S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, S&P SmallCap 600) is divided equally
          between growth and value. Companies in each U.S. index are split into two
          groups based on price-to-book ratio to create growth and value indices. The
          Value index contains companies with lower price-to-book ratios, while the
          Growth index contains those with higher ratios. The growth and value
          definition are only available on the US indices. The indices are rebalanced
          twice per year.

o     Standard & Poor's Midcap 400 Stock Price Index, a composite index of 400 common
          stocks with market capitalizations between $200 million and $7.5 billion
          in industry, transportation, financial, and public utility companies.  The
          Standard & Poor's index assumes reinvestment of all dividends paid by
          stocks listed on the index.  Taxes due on any of these distributions are
          not included, nor are brokerage or other fees calculated in the Standard &
          Poor's figures.

o     Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index is an unmanaged index tracking short-term
          U.S. government securities with maturities between 1 and 2.99 years.  The
          index is produced by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc.

o     Merrill Lynch Corporate Master is an unmanaged index comprised of approximately
          4,356 corporate debt obligations rated BBB or better.  These quality
          parameters are based on the composites of ratings assigned by Standard &
          Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service.  Only bonds with a
          minimum maturity of one year are included.

o     Merrill Lynch 1-Year Treasury Bill Index is comprised of the most recently
          issued one-year U.S. Treasury bills. Index returns are calculated as total
          returns for periods of one, three, six and twelve months as well as
          year-to-date.

o     Merrill Lynch Corporate A-Rated (1-3 Year) Bond Index is a universe of
          corporate bonds and notes with maturities between 1-3 years and rated A3
          or higher.

o     Lehman Brothers Government/Credit (Total) Index is comprised of approximately
          5,000 issues which include:  non-convertible bonds publicly issued by the
          U.S. government or its agencies; corporate bonds guaranteed by the U.S.
          government and quasi-federal corporation; and publicly issued, fixed rate,
          non-convertible domestic bonds of companies in industry, public utilities,
          and finance.  The average maturity of these bonds approximates nine
          years.  Traced by Lehman Brothers, Inc., the index calculates total return
          for one-month, three-month, twelve-month, and ten-year periods and
          year-to-date.

o     Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index is a universe of
          government and corporate bonds rated BBB or higher with maturities between
          1-10 years.

o     Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index is a universe of fixed rate
          securities backed by mortgage pools of Government National Mortgage
          Association (GNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (FHLMC), and Federal
          National Mortgage Association (FNMA).

o     Lehman Brothers Five-Year State General Obligations Bonds is an index comprised
          of all state general obligation debt issues with maturities between four
          and six years. These bonds are rated A or better and represent a variety
          of coupon ranges. Index figures are total returns calculated for one,
          three, and twelve month periods as well as year-to-date. Total returns are
          also calculated as of the index inception, December 31, 1979.

          subcategories based on asset mix. The funds are ranked quarterly based on
          performance and risk characteristics.

o     SEI DataBase for equity funds includes approximately 900 funds, representing
          361 money managers, divided into fund types based on investor groups and
          asset mix. The funds are ranked every three, six, and twelve months.

o     Mercer Meidinger, Inc. compiles a universe of approximately 600 equity funds,
          representing about 500 investment managers, and updates their rankings

ECONOMIC AND MARKET INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advertising and sales literature for a Fund may include discussions of economic,
financial and political developments and their effect on the securities market.
Such discussions may take the form of commentary on these developments by Fund
portfolio managers and their views and analysis on how such developments could
affect a Fund. In addition, advertising and sales literature may quote statistics
and give general information about mutual fund industry, including the growth of
the industry, from sources such as the Investment Company Institute (ICI). For
example, according to the ICI, thirty-seven percent of American households are
pursuing their financial goals through mutual funds. These investors, as well as
businesses and institutions, have entrusted over $5 trillion to the more than 7,300
mutual funds available.

APPENDIX
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STANDARD AND POOR'S BOND RATINGS
AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's. Capacity
to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA--Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher rated issues only in small degree.
A--Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although
it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances
and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.
BBB--Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category
than in higher rated categories.
NR--Indicates that no public rating has been requested, that there is insufficient
information on which to base a rating, or that Standard & Poor's does not rate a
particular type of obligation as a matter of policy.
PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-):--The ratings from AA to BBB may be modified by the addition
of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE CORPORATE BOND RATINGS
AAA--Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt edge.
Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and
principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change,
such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.
Aa--Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may
not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be
of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long
term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
A--Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
Baa--Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements
may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have
speculative characteristics as well.
NR--Not rated by Moody's.
FITCH IBCA, INC. LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS
AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality. The
obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay principal,
which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.
AA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although not
quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA
categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,
short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.
A--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong,
but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.
BBB--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality.
The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are
more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds, and therefore, impair timely
payment.
NR--NR indicates that Fitch does not rate the specific issue.
STANDARD AND POOR'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
A-1--This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment
is either overwhelming or very strong. The issues determined to possess
overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
A-2--Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is strong.
However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
P-1--Issuers rated PRIME-1 (for related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. PRIME-1 repayment
capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics: conservative
capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset
protection; broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high
internal cash generation; and well-established access to a range of financial
markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
P-2--Issuers rated PRIME-2 (for related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally be
evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
FITCH IBCA, INC. SHORT-TERM RATINGS
F-1+--(Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality). Issues assigned this rating are
regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.
F-1--(Very Strong Credit Quality). Issues assigned to this rating reflect an
assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than issues rated F-1+.
F-2--(Good Credit Quality). Issues carrying this rating have a satisfactory degree
of assurance for timely payment but the margin of safety is not as great as the
F-1+ and F-1 categories.
STANDARD AND POOR'S MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS
AAA -- Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA -- Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher rated issues only in small degree.
A -- Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.
BBB- Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category
than in higher-rated categories.
NR -- NR indicates that no public rating has been requested, that there is
insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that Standard & Poor's does
not rate a particular type of obligation as a matter of policy.
Plus (+) or minus (-): The ratings AA and A may be modified by the addition of a
plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS

principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements
may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have
speculative characteristics as well.
NR -- Not rated by Moody's.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2 and 3 in the generic rating
classification of Aa and A in its corporate or municipal bond rating system. The
modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its generic
rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3
indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category.

STANDARD AND POOR'S MUNICIPAL NOTE RATINGS
SP-1 -- Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a plus (+)
designation.
SP-2 -- Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE SHORT-TERM DEBT RATINGS
MIG1/VMIG1 -- This designation denotes best quality. There is a present strong
protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or demonstrated
broad based access to the market for refinancing.
MIG2/VMIG2 -- This designation denotes high quality. Margins of protection are
ample although not so large as in the preceding group.

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS, TECHNIQUES AND RISKS

Asset-Backed Securities are issued by non-governmental entities and carry no direct
or indirect government guarantee. Asset-Backed Securities represent an interest in a
pool of assets such as car loans and credit card receivables. Almost any type of
fixed income asset (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create an
asset backed security. However, most asset-backed securities involve consumer or
commercial debts with maturities of less than ten years. Asset-backed securities may
take the form of commercial paper or notes, in addition to pass through certificates
or asset-backed bonds. Asset backed securities may also resemble some types of CMOs.
Payments on asset-backed securities depend upon assets held by the issuer  and
collections of the underlying loans. The value of these securities depends on many
factors, including changing interest rates, the availability of information about the
pool and its structure, the credit quality of the underlying assets, the market's
perception of the servicer of the pool, and any credit enhancement provided. Also,
these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.
Bank Instruments. Bank Instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with
banks. Bank Instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of deposit
and banker's acceptances. Instruments denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by
non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks are commonly referred to as Eurodollar
instruments. Instruments denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S. branches of
foreign banks are referred to as Yankee dollar instruments.

The Fund will invest in bank instruments that have been issued by banks and savings
and loans that have capital, surplus and undivided profits of over $100 million or
whose principal amount is insured by the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings
Association Insurance Fund, which are administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. Securities that are credit-enhanced with a bank's irrevocable letter of
credit or unconditional guaranty will also be treated as Bank Instruments.

     Foreign Bank Instruments.  Eurodollar Certificates of Deposit (ECDs), Yankee
     dollar Certificates of Deposit (YCDs) and Eurodollar Time Deposits (ETDs) are
     all U.S. dollar denominated certificates of deposit.  ECDs are issued by, and
     ETDs are deposits of, foreign banks or foreign branches of U.S. banks.  YCDs are
     issued in the U.S. by branches and agencies of foreign banks.

     ECDs, ETDs, YCDs, and Europaper have many of the same risks of other foreign
     securities.  Examples of these risks include economic and political
     developments, that may adversely affect the payment of principal or interest,
     foreign withholding or other taxes on interest income, difficulties in obtaining
     or enforcing a judgment against the issuing bank and the possible impact of
     interruptions in the flow of international currency transactions.  Also, the
     issuing banks or their branches are not necessarily subject to the same
     regulatory requirements that apply to domestic banks, such as reserve
     requirements, loan limitations, examinations, accounting, auditing, and
     recordkeeping, and the public availability of information.  These factors will
     be carefully considered by the Adviser in selecting these investments.

Borrowing. The Fund may borrow money from banks or through reverse repurchase
agreements in amounts up to one-third of net assets, and pledge some assets as
collateral.  When the Fund borrows it will pay interest on borrowed money and may
incur other transaction costs.  These expenses could exceed the income received or
capital appreciation realized by the Fund from any securities purchased with borrowed
money.  With respect to borrowings, the Fund is required to maintain continuous asset
coverage equal to 300% of the amount borrowed.  If the coverage declines to less than
300%, the Fund must sell sufficient portfolio securities to restore the coverage even
if it must sell the securities at a loss.

Corporate Debt Securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses.  Notes,
bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most common types of corporate debt
securities.  The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

Credit Enhancement. Certain acceptable investments may be credit-enhanced by a
guaranty, letter of credit, or insurance.  The Adviser may evaluate a security based,
in whole or in part, upon the financial condition of the party providing the credit
enhancement (the credit enhancer).  The bankruptcy, receivership or default of the
credit enhancer will adversely affect the quality and marketability of the underlying
security.

For diversification purposes, credit-enhanced securities will not be treated as
having been issued by the credit enhancer, unless the Fund has invested more than 10%
of its assets in securities issued, guaranteed or otherwise credit-enhanced by the
credit enhancer.  In such cases, the securities will be treated as having been issued
both by the issuer and the credit enhancer.


Credit Quality.  The fixed income securities in which a Fund invest will be rated at
least investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization
(NRSRO). Investment grade securities have received one of an NRSRO's four highest
ratings.  Securities receiving the fourth highest rating (Baa by Moody's or BBB by
S&P or Fitch) have speculative characteristics and changes in the market or the
economy are more likely to affect the ability of the issuer to repay its obligations
when due.  The Adviser will evaluate downgraded securities and will sell any security
determined not to be an acceptable investment.  The Fund is subject to Rule 2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and will follow the credit quality
requirements of the Rule.

Commercial Paper and Restricted and Illiquid Securities. Commercial paper is an
issuer's draft or note with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies typically
issue commercial paper to fund current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue
their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper.
Commercial paper may default if the issuer cannot continue to obtain financing in
this fashion. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and
credit risk as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.

The Fund may invest in commercial paper issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933.  By law, the sale of Section 4(2) commercial paper is restricted and is
generally sold only to institutional investors, such as the Fund.  A Fund purchasing
Section 4(2) commercial paper must agree to purchase the paper for investment
purposes only and not with a view to public distribution.  Section 4(2) commercial
paper is normally resold to other institutional investors through investment dealers
who make a market in Section 4(2) commercial paper, thus providing liquidity.
The Fund believes that Section 4(2) commercial paper and certain other restricted
securities which meet the Directors' criteria for liquidity are quite liquid.
Section 4(2) commercial paper and restricted securities which are deemed liquid, will
not be subject to the investment limitation.  In addition, because Section 4(2)
commercial paper is liquid, the Fund intends to not subject such paper to the
limitation applicable to restricted securities.
Demand Features. The Fund may purchase securities subject to a demand feature, which
may take the form of a put or standby commitment.  Demand features permit a fund to
demand payment of the value of the security (plus an accrued interest) from either
the issuer of the security or a third-party.  Demand features help make a security
more liquid, although an adverse change in the financial health of the provider of a
demand feature (such as bankruptcy), will negatively affect the liquidity of the
security.  Other events may also terminate a demand feature, in which case liquidity
is also affected.

Demand Master Notes. Demand master notes are short-term borrowing arrangements
between a corporation or government agency and an institutional lender (such as the
Fund) payable upon demand by either party. A party may demand full or partial payment
and the notice period for demand typically ranges from one to seven days.  Many
master notes give the Fund the option of increasing or decreasing the principal
amount of the master note on a daily or weekly basis within certain limits. Demand
master notes usually provide for floating or variable rates of interest.

Derivative  Contracts.  Derivative  contracts  are financial  instruments  that require
payments  based upon changes in the values of designated  (or  underlying)  securities,
currencies,   commodities,   financial   indices  or  other  assets.   Some  derivative
contracts  (such as futures,  forwards  and  options)  require  payments  relating to a
future trade  involving the  underlying  asset.  Other  derivative  contracts  (such as
swaps) require  payments  relating to the income or returns from the underlying  asset.
The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.
Many derivative  contracts are traded on securities or commodities  exchanges.  In this
case,  the  exchange  sets  all  the  terms  of the  contract  except  for  the  price.
Investors  make  payments  due  under  their  contracts  through  the  exchange.   Most
exchanges  require  investors to maintain  margin  accounts  through  their  brokers to
cover their  potential  obligations  to the exchange.  Parties to the contract make (or
collect)  daily  payments to the margin  accounts  to reflect  losses (or gains) in the
value of their contracts.  This protects  investors against  potential  defaults by the
counterparty.
Trading  contracts on an exchange  also allows  investors to close out their  contracts
by entering into offsetting  contracts.  For example,  the Fund could close out an open
contract to buy an asset at a future date by entering  into an  offsetting  contract to
sell the same asset on the same  date.  If the  offsetting  sale price is more than the
original  purchase price,  the Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the Fund realizes a
loss.  Exchanges  may limit the  amount of open  contracts  permitted  at any one time.
Such limits may prevent the Fund from  closing  out a position.  If this  happens,  the
Fund will be  required  to keep the  contract  open (even if it is losing  money on the
contract),  and to make any payments  required  under the  contract  (even if it has to
sell  portfolio  securities at unfavorable  prices to do so).  Inability to close out a
contract  could also harm the Fund by  preventing  it from  disposing of or trading any
assets it has been using to secure its obligations under the contract.
The Fund may also trade  derivative  contracts  over-the-counter  (OTC) in transactions
negotiated  directly  between  the  Fund and the  counterparty.  OTC  contracts  do not
necessarily  have  standard  terms,  so they cannot be  directly  offset with other OTC
contracts.  In  addition,  OTC  contracts  with  more  specialized  terms  may be  more
difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.
Depending upon how the Fund uses  derivative  contracts and the  relationships  between
the  market  value  of a  derivative  contract  and the  underlying  asset,  derivative
contracts  may increase or decrease the Fund's  exposure to market and currency  risks,
and may also expose the Fund to  liquidity  and  leverage  risks.  OTC  contracts  also
expose  the Fund to  credit  risks in the event  that a  counterparty  defaults  on the
contract.
Fixed Income Securities. Fixed income securities generally pay interest at either a
fixed or floating rate and provide more regular income than equity securities.
However, the returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not
increase with the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed
income securities as compared to equity securities. Fixed rate securities and
floating rate securities react differently as prevailing interest rates change.

     Fixed Rate Debt Securities.  Debt securities that pay a fixed interest rate over
     the life of the security and have a long-term maturity may have many
     characteristics of short-term debt.  For example, the market may treat fixed
     rate/long-term securities as short-term debt when a security's market price is
     close to the call or redemption price, or if the security is approaching its
     maturity date when the issuer is more likely to call or redeem the debt.

     As interest rates change, the market prices of fixed rate debt securities are
     generally more volatile than the prices of floating rate debt securities.  As
     interest rates rise, the prices of fixed rate debt securities fall, and as
     interest rates fall, the prices of fixed rate debt securities rise.  For
     example, a bond that pays a fixed interest rate of 10% is more valuable to
     investors when prevailing interest rates are lower; therefore, this value is
     reflected in higher price, or a premium.  Conversely, if interest rates are over
     10%, the bond is less attractive to investors, and sells at a lower price, or a
     discount.

     Floating Rate Debt Securities.  The interest rate paid on floating rate debt
     securities is reset periodically (e.g., every 90 days) to a predetermined index
     rate.  Commonly used indices include:  90-day or 180-day Treasury bill rate; one
     month or three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR); commercial paper
     rates; or the prime rate of interest of a bank.  The prices of floating rate
     debt securities are not as sensitive to changes in interest rates as fixed rate
     debt securities because they behave like shorter-term securities and their
     interest rate is reset periodically.

Foreign Money Market Instruments.  Eurodollar Certificates of Deposit (ECDs),
Yankee dollar Certificates of Deposit (YCDs) and Eurodollar Time Deposits (ETDs)
are all U.S. dollar denominated certificates of deposit.  ECDs are issued by, and
ETDs are deposits of, foreign banks or foreign branches of U.S. banks.  YCDs are
issued in the U.S. by branches and agencies of foreign banks. Europaper is
dollar-denominated commercial paper and other short-term notes issued in the U.S.
by foreign issuers.

ECDs, ETDs, YCDs, and Europaper have many of the same risks as other foreign
securities.  Examples of these risks include economic and political developments,
that may adversely affect the payment of principal or interest, foreign withholding
or other taxes on interest income, difficulties in obtaining or enforcing a
judgment against the issuing bank and the possible impact of interruptions in the
flow of international currency transactions.  Also, the issuing banks or their
branches are not necessarily subject to the same regulatory requirements that apply
to domestic banks, such as reserve requirements, loan limitations, examinations,
accounting, auditing, recordkeeping and the public availability of information.
These factors will be carefully considered by the Adviser in selecting these
investments.

Funding Agreements (Agreements), are investment instruments issued by U.S. insurance
companies. Pursuant to such Agreements, the Fund may make cash contributions to a
deposit fund of the insurance company's general or separate accounts. The insurance
company then credits guaranteed interest to the Fund. The insurance company may
assess periodic charges against an Agreement for expense and service costs allocable
to it, and the charges will be deducted from the value of the deposit fund. The
purchase price paid for an Agreement becomes part of the general assets of the
issuer, and the Agreement is paid from the general assets of the issuer. The Fund
will only purchase Agreements from issuers that meet quality and credit standards
established by the Adviser. Generally, Agreements are not assignable or transferable
without the permission of the issuing insurance companies, and an active secondary
market in Agreements does not currently exist. Also, the Fund may not have the right
to receive the principal amount of an Agreement from the insurance company on seven
days' notice or less. Therefore, Agreements are typically considered to be illiquid
investments.

Lending of Portfolio Securities.  In order to generate additional income, the Fund
may lend portfolio securities.  When the Fund lends portfolio securities, it will
receive either cash or liquid securities as collateral from the borrower.  The Fund
will reinvest cash collateral in short-term liquid securities that qualify as an
otherwise acceptable investment for the Fund.  If the market value of the loaned
securities increases, the borrower must furnish additional collateral to the Fund.
During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays the Fund any
dividends or interest paid on such securities. Loans are subject to termination at
the option of the Fund or the borrower. The Fund may pay reasonable administrative
and custodial fees in connection with a loan and may pay a negotiated portion of the
interest earned on the cash or equivalent collateral to a securities lending agent or
broker. The Fund currently lends its portfolio securities through Marshall & Ilsley
Trust Company (M&I Trust Company), as agent. The Fund and M&I Trust Company have
received an order from  the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits M&I Trust
Company to charge, and the Fund to pay, market-based compensation for M&I Trust
Company's services.
Securities Lending Risks. When the Fund lends its portfolio securities, it may not be
able to get them back from the borrower on a timely basis. If this occurs, the Fund
may lose certain investment opportunities. The Fund is also subject to the risks
associated with the investments of cash collateral, usually fixed-income securities
risk.

Mortgage-Backed  Securities  represent interests in pools of mortgages.  The underlying
mortgages normally have similar interest rates,  maturities and other terms.  Mortgages
may have fixed or adjustable  interest  rates.  Interests in pools of  adjustable  rate
mortgages are known as ARMs.
Mortgage-backed   securities   come  in  a  variety  of  forms.   Many  have  extremely
complicated terms. The simplest form of  mortgage-backed  securities is a "pass-through
certificate."  Holders  of  pass-through  certificates  receive a pro rata share of the
payments from the  underlying  mortgages.  Holders also receive a pro rata share of any
prepayments, so they assume all the prepayment risk of the underlying mortgages.
Collateralized  mortgage  obligations (CMOs) are complicated  instruments that allocate
payments and prepayments from an underlying  pass-through  certificate among holders of
different classes of  mortgage-backed  securities.  This creates  different  prepayment
and market risks for each CMO class.
In addition, CMOs may allocate interest payments to one class (IOs) and principal
payments to another class (POs). POs increase in value when prepayment rates
increase. In contrast, IOs decrease in value when prepayments increase, because the
underlying mortgages generate less interest payments. However, IOs prices tend to
increase when interest rates rise (and prepayments fall), making IOs a useful hedge
against market risk.
Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time without
penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance high rate mortgages when mortgage rates
fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage-backed securities, which deprives
holders of the securities of the higher yields. Conversely, when mortgage rates
increase, prepayments due to refinancings decline. This extends the life of
mortgage-backed securities with lower yields. As a result, increases in prepayments
of premium mortgage-backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of discount
mortgage-backed securities, may reduce their yield and price.
This relationship between interest rates and mortgage prepayments makes the price of
mortgage-backed securities more volatile than most other types of fixed income
securities with comparable credit risks. Mortgage-backed securities tend to pay
higher yields to compensate for this volatility.
CMOs may include planned amortization classes (PACs) and targeted amortization
classes (TACs). PACs and TACs are issued with companion classes. PACs and TACs
receive principal payments and prepayments at a specified rate. The companion classes
receive principal payments and any prepayments in excess of this rate. In addition,
PACs will receive the companion classes' share of principal payments if necessary to
cover a shortfall in the prepayment rate. This helps PACs and TACs to control
prepayment risk by increasing the risk to their companion classes.
Another variant allocates interest payments between two classes of CMOs. One class
(Floaters) receives a share of interest payments based upon a market index such as
LIBOR. The other class (Inverse Floaters) receives any remaining interest payments
from the underlying mortgages. Floater classes receive more interest (and Inverse
Floater classes receive correspondingly less interest) as interest rates rise. This
shifts prepayment and market risks from the Floater to the Inverse Floater class,
reducing the price volatility of Floater class and increasing the price volatility of
the Inverse Floater class.
CMOs must allocate all payments received from the underlying mortgages to some class.
To capture any unallocated payments, CMOs generally have an accrual (Z) class. Z
classes do not receive any payments from the underlying mortgages until all other CMO
classes have been paid off. Once this happens, holders of Z class CMOs receive all
payments and prepayments. Similarly, real estate mortgage investment conduits
(REMICs) (offerings of multiple class mortgage backed securities  which qualify and
elect treatment as such under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code) have residual
interests that receive any mortgage payments not allocated to another REMIC class.
The degree of increased or decreased prepayment risk depends upon the structure of
the CMOs. Z classes, IOs, POs, and Inverse Floaters are among the most volatile
investment grade fixed income securities currently traded in the United States.
However, the actual returns on any type of mortgage backed security depends upon the
performance of the underlying pool of mortgages, which no one can predict and will
vary among pools.
Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. A repurchase agreement is a
transaction in which the Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to
sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price
exceeds the sale price, reflecting an agreed upon interest rate effective for the
period the buyer owns the security subject to repurchase. The agreed upon interest
rate is unrelated to the interest rate on that security. The Adviser will continually
monitor the value of the underlying security to ensure that the value of the security
always equals or exceeds the repurchase price. The Fund's custodian is required to
take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements.  These securities
are marked to market daily. To the extent that the original seller defaults and does
not repurchase the securities from the Fund, the Fund could receive less than the
repurchase price on any sale of such securities. In the event that such a defaulting
seller files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, disposition of such securities by
the Fund might be delayed pending court action. The Fund believes that, under the
procedures normally in effect for custody of the portfolio securities subject to
repurchase agreements, a court of competent jurisdiction would rule in favor of the
Fund and allow retention or disposition of such securities. The Fund will only enter
into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions,
such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy.
Reverse repurchase agreement transactions are similar to borrowing cash. In a reverse
repurchase agreement, the Fund sells a portfolio security to another person, such as
a financial institution, broker, or dealer, in return for a percentage of the
instrument's market value in cash, and agrees that on a stipulated date in the future
the Fund will repurchase the portfolio at a price equal to the original sale price
plus interest. The Fund may use reverse repurchase agreements for liquidity and may
enable the Fund to avoid selling portfolio instruments at a time when a sale may be
deemed to be disadvantageous.
When effecting reverse repurchase agreements, liquid assets of the Fund, in a dollar
amount sufficient to make payment for the obligations to be purchased, are segregated
at the trade date. These securities are marked to market daily and maintained until
the transaction is settled.
Treasury Securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United
States.  Investors regard treasury securities as having the lowest credit risk.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions.  These transactions are made to secure
what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield.  Settlement dates may be a
month or more after entering into these transactions, and the market values of the
securities purchased may vary from the purchase prices.  Other than normal
transaction costs, no fees or expenses are incurred.  However, liquid assets of the
Fund are segregated on the Fund's records at the trade date in an amount sufficient
to make payment for the securities to be purchased.  These assets are marked to
market daily and are maintained until the transaction has been settled.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund's investment objective is to provide current income with stability of
principal.  The investment objective of the Fund may not be changed by the Fund's
Board without Shareholder approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS
The following investment limitations are fundamental and cannot be changed for the
Fund unless authorized by the "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the
Fund, as defined by the Investment Company Act.
Selling Short and Buying on Margin
The Fund will not sell any securities short or purchase any securities on margin, but
may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for clearance of purchases and
sales of portfolio securities. A deposit or payment by the Fund of initial or
variation margin in connection with futures contracts, forward contracts or related
options transactions is not considered the purchase of a security on margin.
Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money
The Fund will not issue senior securities except that the Fund may borrow money,
directly or through reverse repurchase agreements, in amounts up to one-third of the
value of its net assets including the amounts borrowed; and except to the extent that
the Fund is permitted to enter into futures contracts, options or forward contracts.
The Fund will not borrow money or engage in reverse repurchase agreements for
investment leverage, but rather as a temporary, extraordinary, or emergency measure
or to facilitate management of its portfolio by enabling the Fund to meet redemption
requests when the liquidation of portfolio securities is deemed to be inconvenient or
disadvantageous.  The Fund will not purchase any securities while any borrowings in
excess of 5% of its total assets are outstanding.
Pledging Assets
The Fund will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any assets except to secure
permitted borrowings. In those cases, the Fund may pledge assets having a market
value not exceeding the lesser of the dollar amounts borrowed or 15% of the value of
its total assets at the time of the pledge. For purposes of this limitation, the
following are not deemed to be pledges: margin deposits for the purchase and sale of
futures contracts and related options; and segregation of collateral arrangements
made in connection with options activities, forward contracts or the purchase of
securities on a when-issued basis.
Lending Cash or Securities
The Fund will not lend any of its assets except portfolio securities.  Loans may not
exceed one-third of the value of the Fund's total assets.  This shall not prevent the
Fund from purchasing or holding U.S. government obligations, money market
instruments, variable rate demand notes, bonds, debentures, notes, certificates of
indebtedness, or other debt securities, entering into repurchase agreements, or
engaging in other transactions where permitted by the Fund's investment goal,
policies, and limitations.
Investing in Commodities
The Fund will not purchase or sell commodities, commodity contracts, or commodity
futures contracts.
Investing in Real Estate
The Fund will not purchase or sell real estate, including limited partnership
interests, although the Fund may invest in the securities of companies whose business
involves the purchase or sale of real estate or in securities which are secured by
real estate or which represent interests in real estate.
Diversification of Investments
With respect to securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, the Fund
will not purchase securities issued by any one issuer (other than cash, cash items or
securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its
agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such
securities) if as a result more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be
invested in the securities of that issuer or if it would own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of such issuer.
Concentration of Investments
The Fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry.
However, investing in U.S. government securities and domestic bank instruments shall
not be considered investments in any one industry.
Underwriting
The Fund will not underwrite any issue of securities, except as it may be deemed to
be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of
restricted securities which the Fund may purchase pursuant to its investment goal,
policies and limitations.
NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS
The following investment limitations are non-fundamental and, therefore,  may be
changed by the Directors without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified
before any material change in these limitations becomes effective.
Investing in Illiquid and Restricted Securities
The Fund will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets in illiquid
securities, including repurchase agreements providing for settlement in more than
seven days after notice, non-negotiable fixed time deposits with maturities over
seven days, over-the-counter options, guaranteed investment contracts, and certain
restricted securities not determined by the Directors to be liquid (including certain
municipal leases).
Purchasing Securities to Exercise Control
The Fund will not purchase securities of a company for the purpose of exercising
control or management.
Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies
The Fund will limit its investment in other investment companies to no more than 3%
of the total outstanding voting stock of any investment company, will invest no more
than 5% of total assets in any one investment company, and will invest no more than
10% of its total assets in investment companies in general, unless permitted to
exceed these limits by an exemptive order of the SEC. The Fund will purchase
securities of closed-end investment companies only in open market transactions
involving only customary broker's commissions. However, these limitations are not
applicable if the securities are acquired in a merger, consolidation, reorganization,
or acquisition of assets.  The Fund will limit its investments in other investment
companies to those of money market funds having investment objectives and policies
similar to its own.
Investing in Options
Except for bona fide hedging purposes, the Fund may not invest more than 5% of the
value of its net assets in the sum of (a) premiums on open option positions on
futures contracts, plus (b) initial margin deposits on futures contracts.
The Fund will not purchase put options or write call options on securities unless the
securities are held in the Fund's portfolio or unless the Fund is entitled to them in
deliverable form without further payment or has segregated liquid assets in the
amount of any further payment.
The Fund will not write call options in excess of 25% of the value of its total
assets.
Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to at
the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from any
change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such restriction. For
purposes of its policies and limitations, the Fund considers instruments (such as
certificates of deposit and demand and time deposits) issued by a U.S. branch of a
domestic bank or savings and loan having capital, surplus, and undivided profits in
excess of $100,000,000 at the time of investment to be cash items.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
The Fund may follow non-fundamental operational policies that are more restrictive
than its fundamental investment limitations, as set forth in the prospectus and this
statement of additional information, in order to comply with applicable laws and
regulations, including the provisions of and regulations under the Investment Company
Act of 1940.  In particular, the Fund will comply with the various requirements of
Rule 2a-7 under the Act, which regulates money market mutual funds.  For example,
Rule 2a-7 generally prohibits the investment of more than 5% of the Fund's total
assets in the securities of any one issuer, although the Fund's fundamental
investment limitation only requires such 5% diversification with respect to 75% of
its assets.  The Fund will also determine the effective maturity of its investments,
as well as its ability to consider a security as having received the requisite
short-term ratings by nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations
(NRSROs), according to Rule 2a-7.  The Fund may change these operational policies to
reflect changes in the laws and regulations without shareholder approval.

DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES
USE OF THE AMORTIZED COST METHOD

The Directors have decided that the best method for determining the value of
portfolio instruments for the Fund is amortized cost. Under this method, portfolio
instruments are valued at the acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of
premium or accumulation of discount rather than at current market value.
The Fund's use of the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio instruments depends
on its compliance with the provisions of Rule 2a-7 (the Rule) promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under
the Rule, the Directors must establish procedures reasonably designed to stabilize
the net asset value per share, as computed for purposes of distribution and
redemption, at $1.00 per share, taking into account current market conditions and the
Fund's investment goal.
Under the Rule, the Fund is permitted to purchase instruments which are subject to
demand features or standby commitments. As defined by the Rule, a demand feature
entitles the Fund to receive the principal amount of the instrument from the issuer
or a third party on (1) no more than 30 days' notice or (2) at specified intervals
not exceeding 397 days on no more than 30 days' notice. A standby commitment entitles
the Fund to achieve same-day settlement and to receive an exercise price equal to the
amortized cost of the underlying instrument plus accrued interest at the time of
exercise.
The Fund acquires instruments subject to demand features and standby commitments to
enhance the instrument's liquidity. The Fund treats demand features and standby
commitments as part of the underlying instruments, because the Fund does not acquire
them for speculative purposes and cannot transfer them separately from the underlying
instruments. Therefore, although the Fund defines demand features and standby
commitments as puts, the Fund does not consider them to be corporate investments for
purposes of its investment policies.
Monitoring Procedures.  The Directors' procedures include monitoring the relationship
between the amortized cost value per share and the net asset value per share based
upon available indications of market value. The Directors will decide what, if any,
steps should be taken if there is a difference of more than 0.5 of 1% between the two
values. The Directors will take any steps they consider appropriate (such as
redemption in kind or shortening the average portfolio maturity) to minimize any
material dilution or other unfair results arising from differences between the two
methods of determining net asset value.
Investment Restrictions.  The Rule requires that the Fund limit its investments to
instruments that, in the opinion of the Directors, present minimal credit risks and
have received the requisite rating from one or more NRSROs.  If the instruments are
not rated, the Directors must determine that they are of comparable quality. The Rule
also requires the Fund to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity (not
more than 90 days) appropriate to the objective of maintaining a stable net asset
value of $1.00 per share. In addition, no instrument with a remaining maturity of
more than 397 days can be purchased by the Fund.
Should the disposition of a portfolio security result in a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of more than 90 days, the Fund will invest its available cash to
reduce the average maturity to 90 days or less as soon as possible. Shares of
investment companies purchased by the Fund will meet these same criteria and will
have investment policies consistent with Rule 2a-7.
Under the amortized cost method of valuation, neither the amount of daily income nor
the net asset value is affected by any unrealized appreciation or depreciation of the
portfolio.  In periods of declining interest rates, the indicated daily yield on
shares of the Fund, computed based upon amortized cost valuation, may tend to be
higher than a similar computation made by using a method of valuation based upon
market prices and estimates.  In periods of rising interest rates, the indicated
daily yield on shares of the Fund computed the same way may tend to be lower than a
similar computation made by using a method of calculation based upon market prices
and estimates.
WHAT DO SHARES COST?

Except under certain circumstances described in the prospectus, shares are sold at
their net asset value on days the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The
procedure for purchasing shares is explained in the prospectus under "How to Buy
Shares" and "What Do Shares Cost?"
HOW IS THE FUND SOLD?

Under the Distributor's Contract with the Fund, the Distributor (Federated Securities
Corp.), located at Federated Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA
15222-3779, offers shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis.  Texas residents must
purchase shares of the Fund through M&I Brokerage Services, Inc. at 1-800-236-FUND
(3863), or through any authorized broker/dealer.
SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
Investment professionals may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor and/or
M&I Trust Company (but not out of Fund assets). The Distributor and/or M&I Trust
Company may be reimbursed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

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

HOW TO BUY SHARES

EXCHANGING SECURITIES FOR SHARES
You may contact the Distributor to request a purchase of shares in an exchange for
securities you own.  The Fund reserves the right to determine whether to accept your
securities and the minimum market value to accept.  The Fund will value your
securities in the same manner as it values its assets.  This exchange is treated as a
sale of your securities for federal tax purposes.
REDEMPTION IN KIND
Although the Fund intends to pay share redemptions in cash, the Fund reserves the
right, as described below, to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of the Fund's portfolio securities.
Because the Corporation has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, the Fund is obligated to pay share redemptions to any one
shareholder in cash only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Fund's net assets
represented by such share class during any 90-day period.
Any share redemption payment greater than this amount will also be in cash unless the
Fund's Directors determine that payment should be in kind.  In such a case, the Fund
will pay all or a portion of the remainder of the redemption in portfolio securities,
valued in the same way as the Fund determines its net asset value.  The portfolio
securities will be selected in a manner that the Fund's Directors deem fair and
equitable and, to the extent available, such securities will be readily marketable.
Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash redemption. If redemption is made in
kind, shareholders would incur transaction costs in selling the portfolio securities
received, and the proceeds of such sales, when made, may be more or less than the
value on the redemption date.
ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION

VOTING RIGHTS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled: (i) to one vote per full share of Common
Stock; (ii) to distributions declared by Directors; and (iii) upon liquidation of the
Corporation, to participate ratably in the assets of the Fund available for
distribution.  Each share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in the election
of Directors and other matters submitted to shareholders for vote.  All shares of
each portfolio or class in the Corporation have equal voting rights, except that only
shares of a particular portfolio or class are entitled to vote on matters affecting
that portfolio or class. Consequently, the holders of more than 50% of the
Corporation's shares of common stock voting for the election of Directors can elect
the entire Board of Directors, and, in such event, the holders of the Corporation's
remaining shares voting for the election of Directors will not be able to elect any
person or persons to the Board of Directors.
The Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (the WBCL) permits registered investment
companies, such as the Corporation, to operate without an annual meeting of
shareholders under specified circumstances if an annual meeting is not required by
the Act.  The Corporation has adopted the appropriate provisions in its By-laws and
does not anticipate holding an annual meeting of shareholders to elect Directors
unless otherwise required by the Act.  Directors may be removed by the shareholders
at a special meeting.  A special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the
Directors upon written request of shareholders owning at least 10% of the
Corporation's outstanding voting shares.
The shares are redeemable and are transferable.  All shares issued and sold by the
Corporation will be fully paid and nonassessable except as provided in WBCL Section
180.0622(2)(b). Fractional shares of common stock entitle the holder to the same
rights as whole shares of common stock except the right to receive a certificate
evidencing such fractional shares.
As of October 1, 2001, the following shareholders owned of record 5% or more of the
Fund's outstanding Institutional Class of Shares:
MARIL & Co., Milwaukee, WI, owned approximately 334,479,938 shares (34.61%);
Louisiana Teachers Retirement System, Princeton, NJ, owned approximately 200,000,000
shares (20.70%); Heller Financial Inc., Chicago, IL, owned approximately 50,000,000
shares (5.17%); VAR & Co., Minneapolis, MN, owned approximately 130,000,000 shares
(13.45%); Bear Stearns Securities Corp., Brooklyn, NY, owned approximately 75,000,000
shares (7.76%); and Strafe & Co., Columbus, OH,  owned approximately 50,000,000
shares (5.17%);
Shareholders owning 25% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund may be in
control and be able to affect the outcome of certain matters presented for a vote of
shareholders.
WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES?

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

The Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax purposes
so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the Corporation's
other portfolios will be separate from those realized by the Fund.
The Fund is entitled to a loss carry-forward, which may reduce the taxable income or
gain that the Fund would realize, and to which the shareholder would be subject, in
the future.
The dividends received deduction and any short-term capital gains are taxable as
ordinary income.  No portion of any income dividends paid by the Fund is eligible for
the dividends received deduction available to corporations.  These dividends, and any
short-term capital gains, are taxable as ordinary income.
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
Distributions representing net interest received on tax-exempt municipal securities
are not necessarily free from income taxes of any state or local taxing authority.
State laws differ on this issue, and you should consult your tax adviser for specific
details regarding the status of your account under state and local tax laws,
including treatment of distributions as income or return of capital.
CAPITAL GAINS
Capital gains, when realized by the Fund, could result in an increase in
distributions.  Capital losses could result in a decrease in distributions.  When the
Fund realizes net long-term capital gains, it will distribute them at least once
every 12 months.
WHO MANAGES THE FUND?

OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

ASSISTANT
SECRETARY

ADVISER TO THE FUND
The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the
Fund.  The Fund's investment adviser is M&I Investment Management Corp. (Adviser), a
Wisconsin corporation headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Adviser provides
investment management services for investment companies, financial institutions,
individuals, corporations and not-for-profit organizations, and is registered as an
investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Adviser is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (M&I Corp.), a bank holding
company headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with approximately $26.1 billion in
assets. The Adviser shall not be liable to the Corporation, the Fund or any
shareholder of the Fund for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding, or sale of any security, or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts
or omissions involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Corporation. Because
of the internal controls maintained by the Adviser's affiliates to restrict the flow
of non-public information, Fund investments are typically made without any knowledge
of the lending relationships affiliates of the Adviser with an issuer.

These services may be furnished directly to the Fund or the Adviser and may include:
advice as to the advisability of investing in securities; security analysis and
reports; economic studies; industry studies; receipt of quotations for portfolio
evaluations; and similar services.
The Adviser and its affiliates exercise reasonable business judgment in selecting

in relationship to the value of the brokerage and research services provided.
Research services provided by brokers and dealers may be used by the Adviser in

HOW DOES THE FUND MEASURE PERFORMANCE?

The Fund may advertise the Fund's share performance by using the Securities and
Exchange Commission's (SEC) standard method for calculating performance applicable to
all mutual funds.  The SEC also permits this standard performance information to be
accompanied by non-standard performance information.

Unless otherwise stated, any quoted share performance reflects the effect of
non-recurring charges, such as maximum sales charges, which, if excluded, would
increase the total return and yield.  The performance of shares depends upon such
variables as: portfolio quality; average portfolio maturity; type and value of
portfolio securities; changes in interest rates; changes or differences in the Fund's
or any class of shares' expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings and
offering price per share fluctuate daily.  Both net earnings and offering price per
share are factors in the computation of yield and total return.

TOTAL RETURN
Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of shares
over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and capital
gains distributions.
The average annual total return for Fund shares is the average compounded rate of
return for a given period that would equate a $1,000 initial investment to the ending
redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is computed by
multiplying the number of shares owned at the end of the period by the net asset
value per share at the end of the period. The number of shares owned at the end of
the period is based on the number of shares purchased at the beginning of the period
with $1,000, adjusted over the period by any additional shares, assuming the
quarterly reinvestment of any dividends and distributions.
YIELD
The Fund calculates the yield for Institutional Class of Shares daily, based upon the
seven days ending on the day of the calculation, called the base period. This yield
is computed by:
o     determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical account with a
          balance of one share at the beginning of the base period, with the net
          change excluding capital changes but including the value of any additional
          shares purchased with dividends earned from the original one share and all
          dividends declared on the original and any purchased shares;

o     dividing the net change in the account's value by the value of the account at
          the beginning of the base period to determine the base period return; and

o     multiplying the base period return by 365/7.

The Money Market Fund's yield for Institutional Class of Shares for the seven-day
period ended August 31, 2001, was 3.71%.
To the extent that financial institutions and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in the Fund's
shares, the Fund's shares performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.
EFFECTIVE YIELD
The Fund's effective yield for Institutional Class of Shares is computed by
compounding the unannualized base period return by: adding 1 to the base period
return; raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and subtracting 1 from the result.  The
Money Market Fund's effective yield for Institutional Class of Shares for the
seven-day period ended August 31, 2001, was 3.78%.
