Balanced Fund
 OBJECTIVE:
The objective of the Balanced Fund is a
combination of capital appreciation and income. The assets of this Fund
will ordinarily be invested in equities, convertibles, and a wide range of
fixed income securities. Currently allocation of the Fund's assets is 70%
equities and 30% fixed income. The equity portion of the fund will mirror
the Growth Fund and the fixed income portion will mirror the Income Fund.
The Fund equity portion is managed with equal emphasis on the following
investment styles: large cap value, large cap growth, international,
mid-cap, and small cap. The funds income portion is managed using three
fixed income investment styles. The return expectation is to outperform a
benchmark composite of the Standard & Poors 500 Index, Morgan Stanley
Capital International World Index, and the Barclay's Aggregate
Bond Index.
Currently the asset allocation of the Balanced
fund is 70% equities and 30% fixed income.
