In addition, this filing reflects the following non-material changes: (1) the implementation of an internal reorganization of Heritage Asset Management, Inc. and Eagle Asset Management, Inc. that became effective on November 1, 2008; (2) the new names of the Trust and each series; (3) updated definitions of small-, mid- and large-capitalization companies used, as applicable, by the Eagle Large Cap Core Fund, Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund, Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund and Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund, each a series of the Trust; (4) changed performance benchmark for the Small Cap Growth Fund; and (5) updated information and made other non-material changes to the Trust’s prospectus and statement of additional information. The Trust intends to file another amendment to its Registration Statement to include the financial statements for the Trust’s series for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.

The Trust has elected that this filing be made effective March 1, 2009, pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1) under the 1933 Act. If you have any questions or comments concerning the foregoing, please call me at (202) 778-9187.
