CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND

INVESTOR PROFILE

Who should consider investing in this fund?

You may want to invest more of your assets in this fund if you:

- want a core investment;

- seek higher potential returns than bond funds and are willing to accept moderate risk of volatility;

- want a well-diversified and relatively stable investment allocation;

or

- are retired or nearing retirement.

You may want to invest fewer of your assets in this fund if you:

- are investing for maximum return over a long time horizon;

or

- need absolute stability of your principal.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

David M. Schlimgen and Patrick F. Ryan at MEMBERS Capital Advisors are the fund's co-portfolio managers and are responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Conservative Allocation Fund. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio managers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND seeks income, capital appreciation and relative stability of value.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The Conservative Allocation Fund invests primarily in shares of underlying funds. The fund will be diversified among a number of asset classes and its allocation among underlying funds will be based on an asset allocation model developed by MEMBERS Capital Advisors ("MCA"), the fund's investment adviser. Under normal circumstances, the fund's total net assets will be allocated among various asset classes and underlying funds, including those whose shares trade on a stock exchange (exchange traded funds or "ETFs"). Although actual allocations may vary, the fund's current asset allocation among asset classes and underlying funds is approximately:

0-20%   money market funds;
0-80%   debt securities (e.g., bond funds);
0-20%   below-investment grade debt securities (e.g., high income funds);
0-50%   equity securities (e.g., U.S. stock funds);
0-50%   foreign securities (e.g., international stock and bond funds); and
0-20%   alternative asset classes (e.g., real estate investment trust funds,
        natural resources funds, precious metal funds).

MCA may employ multiple analytical approaches to determine the appropriate asset allocation for the fund, including:

- Asset allocation optimization analysis. This approach considers the covariance between asset class returns (the degree to which returns in different asset classes do or do not move together), and the fund's aim to achieve a favorable overall risk profile for any targeted level of portfolio return.

- Scenario analysis. This approach analyzes historical and expected return data to model how individual asset classes and combinations of asset classes would affect the fund under different economic and market conditions.

- Fundamental analysis. This approach draws upon MCA's equity and fixed income professionals to judge each asset class against current and potential market conditions. Economic, industry and security level research will be utilized to develop return and risk expectations that may influence asset class selection.

- MCA's Investment Policy Committee ("IPC"). The IPC provides recommendations for the asset allocation mix and mutual fund ownership guidelines (affiliated and unaffiliated) in a manner consistent with the fund's objective.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

The fund is a fund of funds, meaning that it invests primarily in the shares of other registered investment companies (the "underlying funds"), including ETFs. Thus, the fund's investment performance and its ability to achieve its investment goal are directly related to the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Each underlying fund's performance, in turn, depends on the particular securities in which that underlying fund invests and the expenses of that underlying fund. Accordingly, the fund is subject to the risks of the underlying funds in direct proportion to the allocation of its assets among the underlying funds. You could lose money as a result of your investment.

1

CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND

PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued from previous page)

The fund, through the underlying funds, is most subject to INTEREST RATE RISK, the risk that the value of your investment will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the market value of income-bearing securities. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally, the longer a bond's maturity, the more sensitive it is to this risk.

The fund, through the underlying funds, is also subject to CREDIT RISK, the risk that issuers of debt securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations when due. There is also PREPAYMENT/EXTENSION RISK, which is the chance that a rise or fall in interest rates will reduce/extend the life of a mortgage-backed security by increasing/decreasing mortgage prepayments, typically reducing the underlying fund's return. To the extent that the underlying funds invest in NON-INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES (i.e., "junk" bonds), the fund is also subject to above-average credit, market and other risks.

While the majority of the fund's assets will typically be invested in underlying funds that invest primarily in debt securities, to the extent that the fund invests in underlying funds that invest in equities, this fund is subject to MARKET RISK, the risk that the value of an investment may fluctuate in response to stock market movements.

To the extent that the fund invests in FOREIGN SECURITIES, it will be subject to the risks related to such securities. A further discussion of the risks associated with FOREIGN SECURITIES is included in the principal risks section of the Aggressive Allocation Fund and in the SAI.

The main risks of investing in ETFs are the same as investing in a portfolio of equity securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile than the securities comprising the index. Additionally, the market prices of ETFs will fluctuate in accordance with both changes in the market value of their underlying portfolio securities and due to supply and demand for the instruments on the exchanges on which they are traded (which may result in their trading at a discount or premium to their net asset values.) Index-based ETF investments may not replicate exactly the performance of their specific index because of transaction costs and because of the temporary unavailability of certain component securities of the index.

Additionally, the fund is subject to ASSET ALLOCATION RISK, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to under-perform other funds with a similar investment objective.

MODERATE ALLOCATION FUND

INVESTOR PROFILE

Who should consider investing in this fund?

You may want to invest more of your assets in this fund if you:

- want a well-diversified investment allocation;

- have long-term investment goals but are more concerned with the stability than with the growth of your investment;

- need a core investment;

or

- seek a reasonable total return over the long term irrespective of its form (i.e., capital gains or ordinary income).

You may want to invest fewer of your assets in this fund if you:

- are investing for maximum return over a long time horizon;

or

- require a high degree of stability of your principal.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

David M. Schlimgen and Patrick F. Ryan at MEMBERS Capital Advisors are the fund's co-portfolio managers and are responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Moderate Allocation Fund. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio managers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The MODERATE ALLOCATION FUND seeks capital appreciation, income and moderated market risk.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The Moderate Allocation Fund invests primarily in shares of underlying funds. The fund will be diversified among a number of asset classes and its allocation among underlying funds will be based on an asset allocation model developed by MEMBERS Capital Advisors ("MCA"), the fund's investment adviser. Under normal circumstances, the fund's total net assets will be allocated among various asset classes and underlying funds, including those whose shares trade on a stock exchange (exchange traded funds or "ETFs"). Although actual allocations may vary, the fund's current asset allocation among asset classes and underlying funds is approximately:

0-15%   money market funds;
0-60%   debt securities (e.g., bond funds);
0-20%   below-investment grade debt securities (e.g., high income funds);
0-80%   equity securities (e.g., U.S. stock funds);
0-60%   foreign securities (e.g., international stock and bond funds); and
0-20%   alternative asset classes (e.g., real estate investment trust funds, natural resources funds,
        precious metal funds).

MCA may employ multiple analytical approaches to determine the appropriate asset allocation for the fund, including:

- Asset allocation optimization analysis. This approach considers the covariance between asset class returns (the degree to which returns in different asset classes do or do not move together), and the fund's aim to achieve a favorable overall risk profile for any targeted level of portfolio return.

MODERATE ALLOCATION FUND

PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued from previous page)

The fund, through the underlying funds, is subject to both MARKET RISK and INTEREST RATE RISK, meaning the value of your investment will fluctuate in response to stock and bond market movements and changes in interest rates. Certain of the underlying funds may invest in the equity securities of smaller companies, which may fluctuate more in value and be more thinly-traded than the general market.

To the extent that the underlying funds invest in the following securities, the fund may be affected by additional risks relating to those securities:

- NON-INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES;

- FOREIGN SECURITIES; and

- MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.

Issuers of non-investment grade securities are typically in weak financial health and their ability to pay principal and interest is uncertain. Foreign securities have additional risks relating to the rate of currency exchange and varying political situations. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to PREPAYMENT/EXTENSION RISK. A further discussion of the risks associated with foreign securities is included in the principal risks section of the Aggressive Allocation Fund and in the SAI.

The main risks of investing in ETFs are the same as investing in a portfolio of equity securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile than the securities comprising the index. Additionally, the market prices of ETFs will fluctuate in accordance with both changes in the market value of their underlying portfolio securities and due to supply and demand for the instruments on the exchanges on which they are traded (which may result in their trading at a discount or premium to their net asset values.)

Additionally, the fund is subject to ASSET ALLOCATION RISK, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to under-perform other funds with a similar investment objective.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

David M. Schlimgen and Patrick F. Ryan at MEMBERS Capital Advisors are the fund's co-portfolio managers and are responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Aggressive Allocation Fund. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio managers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION FUND seeks capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The Aggressive Allocation Fund invests primarily in shares of underlying funds. The fund will be diversified among a number of asset classes and its allocation among underlying funds will be based on an asset allocation model developed by MEMBERS Capital Advisors ("MCA"), the fund's investment adviser. Under normal circumstances, the fund's total net assets will be allocated among various asset classes and underlying funds, including those whose shares trade on a stock exchange (exchange traded funds or "ETFs"). Although actual allocations may vary, the fund's current asset allocation among asset classes and underlying funds is approximately:

0-10%   money market funds;
0-30%   debt securities, all of which could be in below investment grade debt
        securities (e.g., bond and high income funds);
0-90%   equity securities (e.g., U.S. stock funds);
0-70%   foreign securities (e.g., international stock and bond funds); and
0-20%   alternative asset classes (e.g., real estate investment trust funds,
        natural resources funds, precious metal funds).

MCA may employ multiple analytical approaches to determine the appropriate asset allocation for the fund, including:

- Asset allocation optimization analysis. This approach considers the covariance between asset class returns (the degree to which returns in different asset classes do or do not move together), and the fund's aim to achieve a favorable overall risk profile for any targeted level of portfolio return.

- Scenario analysis. This approach analyzes historical and expected return data to model how individual asset classes and combinations of asset classes would affect the fund under different economic and market conditions.

- Fundamental analysis. This approach draws upon MCA's equity and fixed income professionals to judge each asset class against current and potential market conditions. Economic, industry and security level research will be utilized to develop return and risk expectations that may influence asset class selection.

- MCA's Investment Policy Committee ("IPC"). The IPC provides recommendations for the asset allocation mix and mutual fund ownership guidelines (affiliated and unaffiliated) in a manner consistent with the fund's objective.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

The fund is a fund of funds, meaning that it invests primarily in the shares of other registered investment companies (the "underlying funds"), including ETFs. Thus, the fund's investment performance and its ability to achieve its investment goal are directly related to the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. Each underlying fund's performance, in turn, depends on the particular securities in which that underlying fund invests and the expenses of that underlying fund. Accordingly, the fund is subject to the risks of the underlying funds in direct proportion to the allocation of its assets among the underlying funds. You could lose money as a result of your investment.

AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION FUND

PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued from previous page)

The fund, through the underlying funds, is most subject to MARKET RISK, the risk that the value of an investment will fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Certain of the underlying funds may invest in the equity securities of smaller companies, which may fluctuate more in value and be more thinly traded than the general market. To the extent that the fund invests in underlying funds that invest in debt securities, the fund may also be subject to INTEREST RATE RISK.

To the extent that the underlying funds invest in the following securities, the fund may be affected by additional risks relating to those securities:

- NON-INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES; and

- FOREIGN SECURITIES.

Issuers of non-investment grade securities are typically in weak financial health and their ability to pay principal and interest is uncertain. Foreign securities have additional risks relating to the rate of currency exchange and varying political situations. The risks of international investing are higher in EMERGING MARKETS such as those of Latin America, Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.

The main risks of investing in ETFs are the same as investing in a portfolio of equity securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile than the securities comprising the index. Additionally, the market prices of ETFs will fluctuate in accordance with both changes in the market value of their underlying portfolio securities and due to supply and demand for the instruments on the exchanges on which they are traded (which may result in their trading at a discount or premium to their net asset values.) Index-based ETF investments may not replicate exactly the performance of their specific index because of transaction costs and because of the temporary unavailability of certain component securities of the index.

Additionally, the fund is subject to ASSET ALLOCATION RISK, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to under perform other funds with a similar investment objective.

You may want to invest more of your assets in this fund if you:

- require stability of principal;

- are seeking a mutual fund for the cash portion of an asset allocation program;

- need to "park" your money temporarily;

- consider yourself a saver rather than an investor;

or

- are investing emergency reserves.

You may want to invest fewer of your assets in this fund if you:

- want federal deposit insurance;

- are seeking an investment that is likely to outpace inflation;

- are investing for retirement or other goals that are many years in the future;

or

- are investing for growth or maximum current income.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

Edward J. Meier at MEMBERS Capital Advisors is the fund's lead portfolio manager and is responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Cash Reserves Fund. He is supported by a team of sector specialists and analysts. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The CASH RESERVES FUND seeks high current income from money market instruments consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The Cash Reserves Fund invests exclusively in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities maturing in thirteen months or less from the date of purchase. These securities will be obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities, but may also include securities issued by U.S. and foreign financial institutions, corporations, municipalities, foreign governments, and multi-national organizations, such as the World Bank. Under normal market conditions, the fund will maintain at least 80% of its assets in these securities. At least 95% of the fund's assets must be rated in the highest short-term category (or its unrated equivalent), and 100% of the fund's assets must be invested in securities rated in the two highest rating categories. A more detailed description of the rating categories and the types of permissible issuers is contained in the SAI.

The fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less. The fund may lend securities to financial institutions. The fund may also invest in U.S. dollar- denominated foreign money market securities, although no more than 25% of the fund's assets may be invested in these securities unless they are backed by a U.S. parent financial institution. In addition, the fund may enter into repurchase agreements, engage in short-term trading and purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis.

The fund's current 7-day yield may be obtained by calling 1-800-877-6089.

To the extent permitted by law and available in the market, the fund may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, including those representing pools of mortgage, commercial, or consumer loans originated by credit unions or other financial institutions.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

As with any money market fund, the yield paid by the fund will vary with changes in interest rates. Generally, if interest rates rise, the market value of income bearing securities will decline. However, the fund's investments are high quality and short-term, so there is only a remote possibility that the fund's share value could fall below $1.00, which could reduce the value of your account.

An investment in the fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund attempts to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so and it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

Dean "Jack" Call, D.B.A., CFA, at MEMBERS Capital Advisors ("MCA") is the fund's lead portfolio manager and is responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Bond Fund. He is supported by a team of sector specialists and analysts. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The BOND FUND seeks to generate a high level of current income, consistent with the prudent limitation of investment risk.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds. To keep current income relatively stable and to limit share price volatility, the Bond Fund emphasizes investment grade securities and maintains an intermediate (typically 3-6 year) average portfolio duration. Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The fund may invest in the following instruments:

- CORPORATE DEBT SECURITIES: securities issued by domestic and foreign corporations which have a rating within the four highest categories and, to a limited extent (up to 20% of its assets), in securities not rated within the four highest categories;

- U.S. GOVERNMENT DEBT SECURITIES: securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities;

- FOREIGN GOVERNMENT DEBT SECURITIES: securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or its agencies or instrumentalities, payable in U.S. dollars, which have a rating within the four highest categories;

- NON-RATED DEBT SECURITIES: securities issued or guaranteed by corporations, financial institutions, and others which, although not rated by a national rating service, are considered by MCA to have an investment quality equivalent to one of the four highest categories; and

- ASSET-BACKED, MORTGAGE-BACKED AND COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

As with most income funds, the Bond Fund is subject to INTEREST RATE RISK, the risk that the value of your investment will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the market value of income bearing securities. Other factors may affect the market price and yield of the fund's securities, including investor demand and domestic and worldwide economic conditions. Loss of money is a risk of investing in this fund.

In addition, the fund is subject to CREDIT RISK, the risk that issuers of debt securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations when due. The ability of the fund to realize interest under repurchase agreements and pursuant to loans of the fund's securities is dependent on the ability of the seller or borrower, as the case may be, to perform its obligation to the fund. There is also PREPAYMENT/EXTENSION risk, which is the chance that a fall/rise in interest rates will reduce/extend the life of a mortgage-backed security by increasing/decreasing mortgage prepayments, typically reducing the fund's return.

To the extent that the fund invests in NON-INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES, the fund is also subject to above-average credit, market and other risks. Issuers of NON-INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES (i.e., "junk" bonds) are typically in weak financial health and their ability to pay interest and principal is uncertain. Compared to issuers of investment grade bonds, they are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and to be materially affected by these difficulties when they do encounter them.

HIGH INCOME FUND

INVESTOR PROFILE

Who should consider investing in this fund?

You may want to invest more of your assets in this fund if you:

- are seeking a regular stream of income;

- are seeking higher potential returns than most bond funds and are willing to accept significant risk of volatility;

- want to diversify your investments;

or

- are seeking a mutual fund for the income portion of an asset allocation program.

You may want to invest fewer of your assets in this fund if you:

- desire relative stability of your principal;

or

- are investing for maximum return over a long time horizon.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

MEMBERS Capital Advisors, as adviser, may use one or more subadvisers with any of the funds under a "manager of managers" approach. Shenkman Capital Management, Inc. ("SCM") is currently the only subadviser for the High Income Fund. Mark R. Shenkman, Frank X. Whitley and Mark J. Flanagan, CPA, CFA are the fund's co-primary portfolio managers responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the High Income Fund. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio managers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The HIGH INCOME FUND seeks high current income. The fund also seeks capital appreciation, but only when consistent with its primary goal.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The High Income Fund invests primarily in lower-rated, higher-yielding income bearing securities, such as "junk" bonds. Because the performance of these securities has historically been strongly influenced by economic conditions, the fund may rotate securities selection by business sector according to the economic outlook. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds rated lower than investment grade (BBB/Baa) and their unrated equivalents or other high-yielding securities. Types of bonds and other securities include, but are not limited to, domestic and foreign corporate bonds, debentures, notes, convertible securities, preferred stocks, municipal obligations and government obligations. The fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps and bank loans to high yield corporate issuers.

Up to 25% of its assets may be invested in the securities of issuers in any one industry.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

This fund is subject to above-average INTEREST RATE and CREDIT RISKS, which are risks that the value of your investment will fluctuate in response to changes in interest rates or an issuer will not honor a financial obligation. Investors should expect greater fluctuations in share price, yield and total return compared to bond funds holding bonds and other income bearing securities with higher credit ratings and/or shorter maturities. These fluctuations, whether positive or negative, may be sharp and unanticipated. Loss of money is a significant risk of investing in this fund.

Issuers of NON-INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES (i.e., "junk" bonds) are typically in weak financial health and their ability to pay interest and principal is uncertain. Compared to issuers of investment-grade bonds, they are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and to be materially affected by these difficulties when they do encounter them. "Junk" bond markets may react strongly to adverse news about an issuer or the economy, or to the perception or expectation of adverse news.

Investments in FOREIGN SECURITIES involve risks relating to currency fluctuations and to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks may be greater in emerging markets.

The investment markets of emerging countries are generally more volatile than markets of developed countries with more mature economies. The risks of investing in foreign securities are heightened by investing in emerging markets countries.

The fund may invest in BANK LOANS to BELOW-INVESTMENT GRADE RATED CORPORATE ISSUERS via loan participations and assignments. The purchase of bank loans involve special types of risk, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender.

The fund may also invest in CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS. In a standard "swap" transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. Certain categories of swap agreements often have terms of greater than seven days and may be considered illiquid. Moreover, the fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counter- party. The swaps market is a relatively new market and is largely unregulated. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the fund's ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

The fund may also invest in MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES that are subject to PREPAYMENT/ EXTENSION risks described in the principal risk section of the Bond Fund.

Class A and B share returns shown above reflect payment of sales charges either upon purchase (A shares) or sale at the end of the period (B shares). Class Y shares are sold without the imposition of a sales charge. Index returns shown do not reflect sales charges, fees, expenses or taxes.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for only Class A shares. After-tax returns for Class B and Class Y shares will vary.


(1) For periods shown prior to February 28, 2005, the fund returns reflect the fund's performance under the management of the previous subadviser, which was replaced by SCM effective February 28, 2005. For the periods shown commencing after such date, the fund returns reflect the performance of SCM.

(2) In February 2007, the benchmark for the fund was changed from the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index to the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index. The fund's strategy typically has a maximum issuer weighting of 3% and the securities within the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index typically have a maximum issuer weighting of 2%. The Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index is an unmanaged portfolio constructed to mirror the public high yield debt market. This index includes U.S. publicly issued corporate bonds and includes payment in kind and deferred interest bonds that are not yet accruing a coupon. Bonds rated in default, or that are not rated, are excluded from the index. In contrast, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index tracks the performance of below investment grade U.S. dollar denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The benchmark was changed to better reflect the fund's portfolio.

DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND

INVESTOR PROFILE

Who should consider investing in this fund?

You may want to invest more of your assets in this fund if you:

- need a core investment;

- want a well-diversified and relatively stable investment allocation;

- are looking for a more conservative option to a growth-oriented fund;

- want your return to be primarily either ordinary income or capital gains;

or

- are retired or nearing retirement.

You may want to invest fewer of your assets in this fund if you:

- are investing for maximum return over a long time horizon;

- seek above-average total return over the long term irrespective of its form (i.e., capital gains or ordinary income);

or

- require a high degree of stability of your principal.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

John H. Brown, CFA, and Dean "Jack" Call, CFA, at MEMBERS Capital Advisors are the fund's co-lead portfolio managers and are responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Diversified Income Fund. They are supported by a team of sector specialists and analysts. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio managers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND seeks a high total return through the combination of income and capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The Diversified Income Fund seeks income by investing in a broadly diversified array of securities including bonds, common stocks, real estate securities, foreign market bonds and stocks and money market instruments. Bonds, stock and cash components will vary, reflecting the portfolio managers' judgments of the relative availability of attractively yielding and priced stocks and bonds. Generally, however, bonds (including investment grade, high yield and mortgage- or asset-backed) will constitute up to 80% of the fund's assets, stocks (common, preferred and convertible bonds) will constitute up to 60% of the fund's assets, real estate securities up to 25% of the fund's assets, foreign (including emerging market) stocks and bonds up to 25% of the fund's assets and money market instruments may constitute up to 25% of the fund's assets. Although the fund may be permitted to invest up to 80% in lower credit quality bonds, in normal circumstances the fund intends to limit the investment in lower credit quality bonds to less than 50% of the fund's assets.

The fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that are registered investment companies.

The fund typically sells a stock when the fundamental expectations for producing competitive yields at an acceptable level of price risk no longer apply, the price exceeds its intrinsic value or other stocks appear more attractive.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

The risks of this fund include the risks described for the other funds because it invests in similar types of securities, but the effects of these risks are somewhat muted due to the greater diversification of this fund. As with any fund that invests in stocks, bonds, real estate investment trusts and foreign securities, the fund is subject to MARKET, INTEREST RATE and FOREIGN MARKET RISKS. Loss of money is a risk of investing in this fund.

To the extent that it invests in the following securities, the fund may be affected by additional risks relating to those securities:

- NON-INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES;

- MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES;

- FOREIGN SECURITIES; AND

- HIGH YIELD EQUITIES.

These items include risks that the issuer will not pay its debts, and the value of the investment will fluctuate in response to market movements or changes in interest rates. Foreign securities have additional risks relating to the rate of currency exchange and varying political situations. These risks are more fully explained on the other fund pages, specifically the principal risks section of the International Stock Fund and in the SAI.

LARGE CAP VALUE FUND

INVESTOR PROFILE

Who should consider investing in this fund?

You may want to invest more of your assets in this fund if you:

- are looking for a stock fund that has both growth and income components;

- are looking for a more conservative option to a growth-oriented fund;

- need a core investment;

- seek above-average long-term total return through a combination of capital gains and ordinary income;

or

- are retired or nearing retirement.

You may want to invest fewer of your assets in this fund if you:

- are investing for maximum return over a long time horizon;

- desire your return to be primarily either ordinary income or capital gains, but not both;

or

- require a high degree of stability of your principal.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

Scott D. Opsal, CFA, at MEMBERS Capital Advisors is the fund's lead portfolio manager and is responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Large Cap Value Fund. He is supported by a team of sector specialists and analysts. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The LARGE CAP VALUE FUND seeks long-term capital growth, with income as a secondary consideration.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The Large Cap Value Fund will under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its assets in large cap stocks (generally a market capitalization of the companies represented in the Russell 1000(R) Value Index). The fund follows what is known as a "value" approach, which generally means that the manager seeks to invest in stocks at prices below their perceived intrinsic value as estimated based on fundamental analysis of the issuing company and its prospects. By investing in value stocks, the fund attempts to limit the downside risk over time but may also produce smaller gains than other stock funds if their intrinsic values are not realized by the market or if growth-oriented investments are favored by investors. The fund will diversify its holdings among various industries and among companies within those industries.

The fund may also invest in warrants, convertible securities, preferred stocks and debt securities (including non-investment grade debt securities). The fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities including American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") and may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that are registered investment companies.

The fund typically sells a stock when the fundamental expectations for buying it no longer apply, the price exceeds its intrinsic value or other stocks appear more attractively priced relative to their intrinsic values.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

As with any fund that invests in stocks and also seeks income, this fund is subject to MARKET RISK and, to a lesser extent, INTEREST RATE RISK, meaning the value of your investment will fluctuate in response to stock market and interest rate movements. The fund's investments may rise and/or fall based upon investor perception and attitude rather than economic valuations. Loss of money is a risk of investing in this fund.

The fund primarily invests in "value" oriented stocks which may help limit the risk of negative portfolio returns. However, these "value" stocks are subject to the risk that their perceived intrinsic values may never be realized by the market, and to the risk that, although the stock is believed to be undervalued, it is actually appropriately priced or overpriced due to unanticipated problems associated with the issuer or industry.

To the extent that it invests in FOREIGN SECURITIES, it will be subject to the risks related to such securities, including risks associated with changes in the rate of currency exchange and unstable political situations. A further discussion of risks associated with foreign securities is described in the principal risks section of the International Stock Fund and in the SAI.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

Bruce A. Ebel, CFA, CIC and CFP, at MEMBERS Capital Advisors is the fund's lead portfolio manager and is responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Large Cap Growth Fund. He is supported by a team of sector specialists and analysts. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The Large Cap Growth Fund invests primarily in common stocks of larger companies and will under normal market conditions maintain at least 80% of its assets in such large cap stocks (generally a market capitalization of the companies in the Russell 1000(R) Growth Index). The fund seeks stocks that have low market prices relative to their perceived growth capabilities as estimated based on fundamental analysis of the issuing companies and their prospects. This is sometimes referred to as a "growth" approach. Relative to the Large Cap Value Fund, the Large Cap Growth Fund typically will seek more earnings growth capability in the stocks it purchases, and may include some companies undergoing more significant changes in their operations or experiencing significant changes in their markets. The fund will diversify its holdings among various industries and among companies within those industries.

The fund may also invest in warrants, preferred stocks and convertible securities, and may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities including American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") of emerging market securities. The fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that are registered investment companies.

The fund typically sells a stock when the fundamental expectations for buying it no longer apply, the price exceeds its perceived value or other stocks appear more attractively priced relative to their prospects.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

As with any fund that invests in equity securities, this fund is subject to MARKET RISK, the risk that the value of an investment may fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Loss of money is a significant risk of investing in this fund. Due to its focus on stocks that may appreciate in value and lack of emphasis on those that provide current income, this fund will typically experience greater volatility over time than the Large Cap Value Fund.

To the extent the fund invests in FOREIGN SECURITIES, it will be subject to the risks related to such securities, including risks associated with changes in the rate of currency exchange and unstable political situations. A further discussion of risks associated with foreign securities is described in the principal risks section of the International Stock Fund and in the SAI.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

Livia S. Asher at MEMBERS Capital Advisors ("MCA") currently manages the majority of the assets of the fund and is responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the portion of the Mid Cap Value Fund MCA manages. She is supported by a team of sector specialists and analysts. MCA, as adviser, may use one or more subadvisers with any of the funds under a "manager of managers" approach. Wellington Management Company, LLP ("Wellington Management") is currently the only subadviser for the Mid Cap Value Fund, focusing on the smaller-cap portion of the fund. Stephen T. O'Brien, CFA, at Wellington Management is the lead portfolio manager for this portion of the fund. He is assisted by Timothy J. McCormack, CFA, and Shaun F. Pedersen. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio managers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The MID CAP VALUE FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The Mid Cap Value Fund invests primarily in common stocks of midsize and smaller companies (generally a market capitalization of less than $15 billion or the largest companies in the Russell Midcap(R) Index if greater) and will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its assets in such mid cap securities. However, the fund will not automatically sell a stock just because its market capitalization has changed and such positions may be increased through additional purchases.

The fund seeks stocks in this midsize to smaller range that have a low market price relative to their value as estimated based on fundamental analysis of the issuing company and its prospects. This is sometimes referred to as a "value" approach. The fund includes smaller, less developed issuers, which may have difficulty competing with larger companies, but the successful ones generate strong cash flows that can be used to build the value of the business or be used in the same way to benefit the shareholders (e.g., share repurchase, dividends, etc.).

The fund typically sells a stock when the fundamental expectations for buying it no longer apply, the price exceeds its intrinsic value or other stocks appear more attractively priced relative to their intrinsic value.

The fund may also invest in warrants, preferred stocks, convertible debt securities and real estate investment trusts, and may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities. The fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that are registered investment companies.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

As with any fund that invests in equity securities, this fund is subject to MARKET RISK, the risk that the value of an investment will fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Loss of money is a significant risk of investing in this fund.

Due to its focus on smaller companies' stocks that may appreciate in value and lack of emphasis on those that provide current income, this fund may experience significant volatility over time. The fund's investments in midsize and smaller companies may entail greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies. Midsize and smaller companies tend to have narrower product lines, fewer financial resources and a more limited trading market for their securities, as compared to larger companies. They may also experience greater price volatility than securities of larger capitalization companies, because growth prospects for these companies may be less certain and the market for such securities may be smaller.

In addition, such securities are subject to the risk that during certain periods their liquidity will shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic or market conditions, or adverse investor perceptions. The fund could lose money if it has to sell illiquid securities at a disadvantageous time. The costs of purchasing or selling securities of smaller capitalization companies are often greater than those of more widely traded securities. Securities of smaller capitalization companies can be difficult to value. In addition, a "value" approach to investing includes the risks that their perceived intrinsic values may never be realized by the market, and that a stock that is believed to be undervalued actually is appropriately priced or overpriced due to unanticipated problems associated with the issuer or industry.

To the extent that the fund invests in higher-risk securities, it takes on additional risks that could adversely affect its performance.

See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The MID CAP GROWTH FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The Mid Cap Growth Fund invests generally in common stocks, securities convertible into common stocks and related equity securities of mid-size and smaller companies (generally a market capitalization of less than $15 billion or the largest companies in the Russell Midcap(R) Index, if greater). Under normal market conditions, the fund will maintain at least 80% of its assets in such mid cap securities. The fund seeks attractive long-term returns through bottom-up security selection based on fundamental analysis in a diversified portfolio of high-quality growth companies with attractive valuations. These will typically be industry leading companies in niches with strong growth prospects. The fund seeks stocks of such companies at price-earnings valuations approximately equal to the company's expected long-term, sustainable growth rate.

Stocks are generally sold when target prices are reached, company fundamentals deteriorate or more attractive stocks are identified.

The fund may also invest in warrants, preferred stocks and debt securities including non-investment grade convertible debt securities. The fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities, including emerging market securities. The fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that are registered investment companies.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Loss of money is a significant risk of investing in this fund. Due to its focus on stocks of growth companies, particularly those of midsize and smaller capitalization companies, it will typically experience significant volatility over time. Securities of midsize and smaller capitalization companies may experience greater price volatility than securities of larger capitalization companies because growth prospects for these companies may be less certain and the market for such securities may be smaller. Additional risks of investing in smaller capitalization companies are described in the principal risks section of the Mid Cap Value Fund.

Some growth-oriented companies may not have established financial histories; often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources; may depend on a few key personnel for management; and may be susceptible to losses and risks of bankruptcy.

To the extent that the fund invests in other higher-risk securities, it takes on additional risks that could adversely affect its performance. For example, to the extent that the fund invests in foreign securities, it will be subject to the risks related to such securities, including the risks associated with changes in the rate of currency exchange and unstable political situations in certain foreign countries. A further discussion of risks associated with foreign securities is described in the principal risks section of the International Stock Fund and in the SAI.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

MEMBERS Capital Advisors, as adviser, may use one or more subadvisers with any of the funds under a "manager of managers" approach. Wellington Management Company, LLP ("Wellington Management") is currently the only subadviser for the Small Cap Value Fund. Stephen T. O'Brien, CFA, at Wellington Management is the fund's lead portfolio manager responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Small Cap Value Fund. He is assisted by Timothy J. McCormack, CFA, and Shaun F. Pedersen. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio managers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The SMALL CAP VALUE FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The fund invests primarily in a diversified mix of common stocks of U.S. small cap companies that are believed to be undervalued by various measures and offer sound prospects for capital appreciation. For purposes of this fund, "small cap companies" are those with market capitalizations that are within the range of capitalizations of companies represented in either the S&P SmallCap 600 Index or the Russell 2000(R) Index.

The subadviser employs a value-oriented investment approach in selecting stocks, using proprietary fundamental research to identify securities of issuers the subadviser believes have attractive valuations. The subadviser focuses on companies with a record of above average rates of profitability that sell at a discount relative to the overall small cap market.

Through fundamental research the subadviser seeks to identify those companies which possess one or more of the following characteristics:

- sustainable competitive advantages within a market niche;

- strong profitability and free cash flows;

- strong market share positions and trends;

- quality of and share ownership by management; and

- financial structures that are more conservative than the relevant industry average.

The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities. The fund may also invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that are registered investment companies.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

As with any fund that invests in equity securities, this fund is subject to MARKET RISK, the risk that the value of an investment will fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Loss of money is a significant risk of investing in this fund.

Due to its focus on small cap companies, this fund may experience significant volatility over time. Small companies tend to have narrower product lines, fewer financial resources and a more limited trading market for their securities, as compared to larger companies. The securities of smaller companies also experience greater price volatility than securities of larger capitalization companies.

During certain periods, the liquidity of the securities of small cap companies may shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic or market conditions, or adverse investor perceptions. The fund could lose money if it has to sell illiquid securities at a disadvantageous time. The costs of purchasing or selling securities of small capitalization companies are often greater than those of more widely traded securities. Securities of smaller capitalization companies can be difficult to value. In addition, a "value" approach to investing includes the risks that their perceived intrinsic values may never be realized by the market, and that a stock that is believed to be undervalued actually is appropriately priced or overpriced due to unanticipated problems associated with the issuer or industry.

To the extent that the fund invests in higher-risk securities and initial public offerings, it takes on additional risks that could adversely affect its performance. For example, to the extent that the fund invests in FOREIGN SECURITIES, it will be subject to the risks related to such securities, including the risks of changes in the rate of currency exchange and unstable political situations. The principal risks of foreign securities are described in the SAI.

- want to diversify your investments;

- are seeking a fund for the growth portion of an asset allocation program;

- are seeking exposure to small companies as part of an asset allocation program;

or

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

MEMBERS Capital Advisors, as adviser, may use one or more subadvisers with any of the funds under a "manager of managers" approach. Paradigm Asset Management Company, LLC is currently the only subadviser for the Small Cap Growth Fund. James E. Francis, Jeffrey E. Marcus and Gregory Pai are the fund's portfolio managers responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the Small Cap Growth Fund. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio managers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

The fund invests primarily in a diversified mix of common stocks of small U.S. companies that the subadviser believes have high earnings growth rates. For purposes of this fund, "small cap companies" are those with market capitalizations that are within the range of capitalizations of companies represented in either the S&P SmallCap 600 Index or the Russell 2000(R) Index.

The fund may also invest in warrants, preferred stocks and debt securities including non-investment grade convertible debt securities. The fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that are registered investment companies.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

As with any fund that invests in equity securities, this fund is subject to MARKET RISK, the risk that the value of an investment will fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Loss of money is a significant risk of investing in this fund. Due to its focus on stocks of growth companies, particularly those of small capitalization companies, it will typically experience significant volatility over time. Securities of small capitalization companies may experience greater price volatility than securities of larger capitalization companies because growth prospects for these companies may be less certain and the market for such securities may be smaller.

The fund may invest in stocks that are considered "growth" stocks. Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stocks. As a result, growth stocks tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.

Some growth-oriented companies may not have established financial histories and often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may depend on a few key personnel for management. Such companies may be susceptible to losses and risks of bankruptcy.

To the extent that the fund invests in other higher-risk securities, it takes on additional risks that could adversely affect its performance.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Who makes the investment decisions for this fund?

MEMBERS Capital Advisors, as adviser, may use one or more subadvisers with any of the funds under a "manager of managers" approach. Lazard Asset Management LLC ("Lazard") is currently the only subadviser for the International Stock Fund. Lazard manages the fund on a team basis. John R. Reinsberg, Michael A. Bennett, Michael G. Fry, James Donald, CFA, Brian Pessin, CFA, Kevin O'Hare, CFA, Gabrielle Boyle, Michael Powers, Erik McKee, Erik McKee, Rohit Chopra and Edward Rosenfeld are the fund's co-primary portfolio managers responsible for deciding which securities are purchased or sold in the International Stock Fund. See the "Portfolio Management" section for further information regarding the portfolio managers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

What is this fund's goal?

The INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND seeks long-term growth of capital.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

How does this fund pursue its objective?

Under normal market conditions, the International Stock Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in foreign equity securities. Foreign equity securities are securities that are issued by companies organized or whose principal operations are outside the U.S., are principally traded outside of the U.S., or are quoted or denominated in a foreign currency.

Equity securities include common stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, preferred stocks, and other securities representing equity interests such as American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), receipts typically issued by a U.S. financial institution which evidence ownership of underlying securities of foreign corporate issuers, European Depository Receipts ("EDRs") and Global Depository Receipts ("GDRs"). EDRs and GDRs are receipts evidencing an arrangement with a non-U.S. financial institution similar to that for ADRs and are designed for use in non-U.S. securities markets. The fund may also invest in debt securities, foreign money market instruments, and other income bearing securities as well as forward foreign currency exchange contracts and other derivative securities and contracts. The fund usually holds securities of issuers located in at least three countries other than the U.S.

Typically a majority of the fund's assets are invested in relatively large capitalization stocks of issuers located or operating in developed countries. Such securities are those issued by companies located in countries included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International, Europe, Australasia, and Far East ("MSCI EAFE") Index. The subadviser typically maintains this segment of the fund's portfolio in such stocks which it believes have a low market price relative to their perceived value based on fundamental analysis of the issuing company and its prospects. This is sometimes referred to as a "value" approach. It may also invest in foreign debt and other income bearing securities at times when it believes that income bearing securities have greater capital appreciation potential than equity securities.

Typically, the fund's remaining assets are invested in small capitalization stocks and stocks principally traded in emerging securities markets or of issuers located in or having substantial business operations in emerging economies. The emerging economies in which the fund invests are located primarily in the Asia-Pacific region, Eastern Europe, Central and South America, and Africa. In selecting both small capitalization stocks and emerging market stocks, the subadviser seeks securities that are undervalued in the markets in which the securities principally trade based on its analysis of the issuer's future prospects. This is sometimes referred to as a "value" approach. Such an analysis includes both quantitative (screening for high financial returns) and qualitative (fundamental analysis of the business prospects of the issuer) elements.

Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund's ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

What are the main risks of investing in this fund?

As with any fund investing in stocks, the value of your investment will fluctuate in response to stock market movements as described in the earlier fund pages. Loss of money is a significant risk of investing in this fund.

31

INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND

PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued from previous page)

Investing in FOREIGN SECURITIES involves certain special considerations and additional risks which are not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic issuers or U.S dollar denominated securities. These risks may make the fund more volatile than a comparable domestic stock fund. For example, foreign securities are typically subject to:

- Fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

- Higher trading and custody charges compared to securities of U.S. companies.

- Different accounting and reporting practices than U.S. companies. As a result, it is often more difficult to evaluate financial information from foreign issuers. Also, the laws of some foreign countries limit the information that is made available to investors.

- Less stringent securities regulations than those of the U.S.

- Potential political instability.

- Potential economic instability. The economies of individual foreign countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation and industry diversification. Such differences may cause the economies of these countries to be less stable than the U.S. economy and may make them more sensitive to economic fluctuations.

The risks of international investing are higher in EMERGING MARKETS such as those of Latin America, Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. Additionally, investing in SMALLER COMPANIES involves a higher level of risk compared to larger, more established companies. Small capitalization companies often do not have the financial strength needed to do well in difficult economic times. Also, they often sell limited numbers of products, which can make it harder for them to compete with larger companies. As a result, their stock prices may fluctuate more over the short-term, but may also have more potential to grow. To the extent that the fund utilizes higher-risk securities and practices, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts and other derivative securities and contracts, it takes on further risks that could adversely affect its performance.

(1) The sales charge you pay may be higher or lower than what is disclosed due to standard industry practice to round the public offering price to two decimal places when calculating the number of shares purchased, and to round the number of shares purchased to three decimal places. Please refer to the SAI for additional information.

(2) Class A share purchases of $1,000,000 or more are not subject to a front-end load but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of up to 1% (see the "Sales Charges and Fees" section).

(3) The CDSC is reduced after 12 months and eliminated after six years following the purchase; five years for purchases prior to February 28, 2003 (see the "Sales Charges and Fees" section).

(4) The CDSC is eliminated after 12 months following the purchase (see the "Sales Charges and Fees" section).

(5) A 2% redemption fee will be charged if you redeem shares, other than shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and distributions (see the "Sales Charges and Fees" section).

(1) The management fee is the amount paid to the investment adviser for managing each fund's portfolio and assisting in other aspects of its operations.

(2) Distribution or "12b-1" fees (Class B and Class C only) are the fees each fund pays its distributor, CUNA Brokerage Services, Inc. ("CBSI"), to cover its distribution-related expenses (including commissions paid to dealers) or distribution-related expenses of dealers.

(3) The service fee is paid to CBSI for account service and maintenance. CBSI may, in turn, use the fee to compensate other qualified broker-dealers for their costs of servicing shareholder accounts.

(4) Through February 28, 2008, the funds' investment adviser, MEMBERS Capital Advisors, Inc. ("MCA"), placed a "cap" on each fund's expenses, other than its management, 12b-1, and service fees, by contractually agreeing to reimburse such expenses in excess of certain levels. MCA's agreement to limit fund expenses does not include taxes, interest, borrowing, brokerage commissions or extraordinary expenses incurred by the funds. MCA has agreed to continue this expense cap agreement until February 27, 2009. Any reimbursements made by MCA to a fund are subject to repayment by the fund within the subsequent three years, to the extent that the fund can make the repayment while remaining within its expense cap.

(5) In addition to the "Total Annual Net Direct Fund Operating Expenses" which the fund bears, the fund's shareholders indirectly bear the expenses of the "Acquired Funds" (the "underlying funds") in which the fund invests. The fund's indirect expense from investing in the underlying funds are shown in the table. Future underlying fund expenses may be affected by a change in underlying funds, fund allocations, and expense ratios at the underlying fund levels.

(6) Shown in the table are the sum of the fund's "Total Annual Net Direct Fund Operating Expenses" and "Estimated Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" of the underlying funds.

(7) Since the share class is new, "Other Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

EXAMPLES

Examples shown on the next page are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in each fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples show what expenses you would pay if you INVESTED $10,000 in each fund over the various time periods indicated. The examples assume you reinvested all dividends and distributions, that the average annual return for each fund was 5%, and that the funds' and underlying funds' operating expenses remain the same. The examples do not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would have been higher.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, assuming total net operating expenses of the funds and underlying funds (after expense reimbursement) as set forth above, and that YOU REDEEMED your entire investment at the end of each period, your total estimated expenses would be:

(1) The management fee is the amount paid to the investment adviser for managing each fund's portfolio and assisting in other aspects of its operations. The management fee shown will be reduced by 0.05% on fund assets exceeding $500 million and by another 0.05% on fund assets exceeding $1 billion.

(2) Distribution or "12b-1" fees (Class B only) are the fees each fund pays its distributor, CBSI, to cover its distribution-related expenses (including commissions paid to dealers) or distribution-related expenses of dealers.

(3) The service fee is paid to CBSI for account service and maintenance. CBSI may, in turn, use the fee to compensate other qualified broker-dealers for their costs of servicing shareholder accounts.

(4) Through February 28, 2008, the funds' investment adviser, MCA, placed a "cap" on each fund's expenses other than its management, 12b-1, and service fees, by contractually agreeing to reimburse such expenses in excess of certain limits. MCA's agreement to limit fund expenses does not include taxes, interest, brokerage commissions or extraordinary expenses incurred by the funds. MCA has agreed to continue this expense cap agreement until February 27, 2009. Any reimbursements made by MCA to a fund are subject to repayment by the fund within the subsequent three years, to the extent that the fund can make the repayment while remaining within its expense cap.

(5) CBSI may waive distribution and/or service fees with respect to the fund in order to support yields. CBSI may discontinue any voluntary waiver at any time.

(6) Since the fund is new, "Other Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

EXAMPLES

Examples shown below are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in each fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples show what expenses you would pay if you INVESTED $10,000 in each fund for the time periods indicated. The examples assume you reinvested all dividends and distributions, that the average annual return for each fund was 5%, and that the funds' operating expenses remain the same. The examples do not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends and other distributions for Class A and B shares. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would have been higher.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, assuming total net operating expenses (after expense reimbursement) as set forth above, and that YOU REDEEMED your entire investment at the end of each period, your total estimated expenses would be:

YOUR ACCOUNT

The following pages describe the differences between the funds' share classes offered through this prospectus, and explain how you can invest with MEMBERS Mutual Funds. NOTE: MOST OF THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT, PURCHASE, EXCHANGE, OR SELL SHARES WILL NOT BE RELEVANT TO YOU IF YOU HAVE A BROKERAGE ACCOUNT. If you have such an account, simply contact your financial representative and they will be able to assist you with all your transaction needs. Regardless of the type of account, the first step to investing with MEMBERS Mutual Funds is to carefully read this entire prospectus.

CHOOSING A SHARE CLASS

The Trust offers four classes of shares through this prospectus: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Other share classes may be made available in the future through other distribution channels. Each share class represents investments in the same portfolio of securities, but each class has its own expense structure, which allows you to choose the one that best meets your needs. For a description of the expenses imposed on each class, please see the "Fees and Expenses" section. Class A, Class B and Class C shares are described in more detail below. Class Y shares are only available for purchase by the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, other affiliated target allocation funds offered through separate prospectuses, in fee-based managed account programs with the fund's distributor or dealers that have special arrangements with the fund's distributor, and other investors as the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") may authorize from time to time.

When deciding which share class is best for you, carefully consider:

- how long you plan to own the fund shares;

- how much you intend to invest;

- the total expenses you'll pay for each class; and

- whether you qualify for any reduction or waiver of sales charges.

CLASS A shares typically charge a front-end sales charge or "load" that is deducted from your initial investment. Often, Class A shares offer you discounts (the discount increases as the size of your investment increases), called "breakpoints," on the front- end sales charge if you: make a large purchase, already hold other mutual funds offered by the same fund family, or have family members (or others with whom you may link according to fund rules) who hold funds in the same fund family.

38

CLASS B shares do not impose a front-end sales charge that is deducted from your initial investment, but they do impose a 12b-1 or distribution fee that will result in higher annual operating expenses than you would incur if you purchased Class A shares. Over time, these fees will increase the cost of investing and may make the Class B charges more than the Class A. FOR THIS REASON AND OTHERS, THE TRUST DOES NOT NORMALLY ACCEPT PURCHASE ORDERS OF MORE THAN $100,000 FOR CLASS B SHARES FROM A SINGLE INVESTOR.

Class B shares also normally impose a CDSC, which you pay if you sell your shares within a certain number of years. The CDSC normally gets smaller each year and eventually is eliminated after several years. Selling Class B shares during the period in which the CDSC applies can significantly diminish the overall return on your investment, especially when coupled with the higher annual expenses charged when you hold Class B shares. Class B shares "convert" into Class A shares after a certain number years. When they convert, they will begin to charge the same annual fund operating expenses as Class A shares.

CLASS C shares are only offered with respect to the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS. Class C shares do not impose a front-end sales charge that is deducted from your initial investment, but they do impose a 12b-1 or distribution fee that will result in higher annual operating expenses than you would incur if you purchased Class A shares. Over time, these fees will increase the cost of investing and may make the Class C charges more than the Class A. FOR THIS REASON AND OTHERS, THE TRUST DOES NOT NORMALLY ACCEPT PURCHASE ORDERS OF MORE THAN $999,999 FOR CLASS C SHARES FROM A SINGLE INVESTOR.

Class C shares also normally impose a CDSC, which you pay if you sell your shares within one year of purchase. Class C shares do not convert to any other share class.

EACH INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT NEEDS ARE DIFFERENT. YOU SHOULD SPEAK WITH YOUR

FINANCIAL REPRESENTATIVE TO REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, WHICH WILL HELP YOU DECIDE WHICH SHARE CLASS IS RIGHT FOR YOU.

(1) The funds reserve the right to accept purchase amounts below the minimum when adding to an account as long as the minimum initial investment to open an account has been met, and for accounts that are funded with pre-tax or salary reduction contributions which include SEPs, 401(k) plans, 403(b)(7) arrangements, non-qualified deferred compensation plans, and other pension and profit sharing plans.

(2) Regardless of frequency, the minimum investment allowed is $50 per fund per month.

(3) Only one fund can be opened under the twice monthly or biweekly options and all purchases need to be directed to that fund.

3. Carefully complete the appropriate parts of the account application, including the account privileges section of the application. By applying for privileges now, you can avoid the delay and inconvenience of having to file an additional form if you want to add privileges later. If you have questions, please contact your financial representative or MEMBERS Mutual Funds.

WHEN OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT, THE FUND IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO OBTAIN CERTAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM YOU TO VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY, INCLUDING NAME, ADDRESS, DATE OF BIRTH, AND OTHER INFORMATION THAT WILL ALLOW US TO IDENTIFY YOU. IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION, THE FUND'S TRANSFER AGENT, ON BEHALF OF THE FUND, MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT. IF THE TRANSFER AGENT IS UNABLE TO VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY, THE FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT OR TAKE SUCH OTHER ACTION DEEMED REASONABLE OR REQUIRED BY LAW.

PURCHASE ORDERS ACCEPTED BY THE FUND AFTER 3:00 P.M., CENTRAL TIME (4:00 P.M.,
EASTERN TIME), WILL BE PROCESSED USING THE NEXT DAY'S NET ASSET VALUE ("NAV").

PURCHASING BY EXCHANGE

Within an account, you may exchange shares of one fund for shares of the same class of another fund subject to the minimum investment requirements of the fund purchased, without paying any additional sales charge. CLASS A SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND MAY BE EXCHANGED TO CLASS B SHARES OF OTHER MEMBERS MUTUAL FUNDS, AND CLASS C SHARES OF THE TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, FOR DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PURPOSES. In certain circumstances, you may be charged a 2% redemption fee on the value of the shares exchanged pursuant to the fund's redemption fee policy (see the "Sales Charges and Fees" section). Exchanges of Class A shares of the CASH RESERVES FUND initially purchased without a sales charge will be subject to the appropriate sales charge upon exchange into Class A shares of another MEMBERS Mutual Fund. Class B and Class C shares will continue to "age" from the date of original purchase of the Class B shares or Class C shares, respectively, and will retain the same CDSC rate as they had before the exchange.

With the exception of the CASH RESERVES FUND, only five (5) exchanges are allowed per fund in a calendar year. If you establish a systematic exchange or automatic account rebalancing program (see the "Additional Investor Services" section), those exchanges are not included in the exchange limit or redemption fee policies. The funds reserve the right to require that previously exchanged shares (and reinvested dividends) be in a fund for 90 days before an investor is permitted a new exchange. A fund may change its exchange policy at any time upon 60 days' notice to its shareholders.

It is important to note that additional restrictions may apply if you invest through a financial intermediary. MEMBERS Mutual Funds will work with financial intermediaries, such as broker/dealers, investment advisers and record keepers to apply the funds' exchange limit guidelines, but in some instances, the fund is limited in its ability to monitor the trade activity or enforce the funds' exchange limit guidelines in such accounts. In addition, a different exchange limit may apply for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits.

SALES CHARGES AND FEES

The following discussion explains how sales charges on your purchases of a fund are calculated. Before investing in mutual funds, it is important that you understand the sales charges that you will be charged.

CLASS A SHARES

With the exception of the CASH RESERVES FUND, Class A shares are offered at a price that includes an initial "front-end" sales charge that is deducted from your investment at the time you purchase shares. Depending upon the amount you invest, the sales charge may be reduced and/or eliminated for larger purchases as indicated below. CLASS A SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND ARE SOLD WITHOUT AN INITIAL SALES CHARGE. HOWEVER, IF THE SHARES OF THE FUND ARE EXCHANGED FOR CLASS A SHARES OF ANOTHER MEMBERS FUNDS, THE SALES CHARGE APPLICABLE TO THE OTHER FUND WILL APPLY AS INDICATED ON THE NEXT PAGE.

          described below


(1) The sales charge you pay may be higher or lower than what is disclosed due to standard industry practice to round the public offering price to two decimal places when calculating the number of shares purchased, and to round the number of shares purchased to three decimal places. Please refer to the SAI for additional information.

(2) The portion of the sales charge the fund's distributor, CBSI, pays to broker/dealers for selling the funds' shares. The broker/dealer passes along a portion of this compensation to your financial representative. From time to time, CBSI, at its discretion, may pass along to the broker/dealers the entire sales charge paid as a percentage of offering price as part of a sales program, although it has not done so as of the date of this prospectus.

(3) A CDSC may be assessed on certain purchases of Class A shares of over $1,000,000 at a rate of 1.00% in the first year and 0.50% in the second year following the purchase.

(4) CBSI may pay a commission up to 0.80% on certain purchases of Class A shares over $1,000,000 on which no initial sales charge was paid, with a maximum commission of 0.50% on purchases over $3,000,000. CBSI may also pay a commission up to 0.75% on certain purchases of Class A shares under $1,000,000 on which no initial sales charge was paid, through programs offered by CBSI or to dealers that have special arrangements with CBSI.

Generally, as the amount of purchase increases, the percentage used to determine the sales load decreases. In addition to a single mutual fund purchase, you may be entitled to receive a discount or qualify to purchase Class A shares without a sales charge based on rights of accumulation or by using a letter of intent as described below.

CLASS A SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS

In order to ensure that you receive a reduction or waiver of your Class A sales charge, you need to inform your financial representative or MEMBERS Mutual Funds at the time you purchase shares that you qualify for such a reduction or waiver. If notification is not provided, you may not receive the sales charge discount or waiver to which you are otherwise entitled. MEMBERS Mutual Funds may require evidence, and reserves the right to request additional documentation, including account statements of all relevant accounts invested in the funds, to verify you are eligible for a reduction or waiver of sales charges.

FOR BOTH THE CLASS A SHARE SALES CHARGE REDUCTION AND WAIVER PRIVILEGES, THE TERM "IMMEDIATE FAMILY" IS DEFINED AS YOU, YOUR SPOUSE AND YOUR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 21.

CLASS A SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS

There are several ways investors and certain qualified pension plans may combine multiple purchases to reduce Class A sales charges as indicated below. FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING THE SALES CHARGE, SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND PURCHASED THROUGH AN EXCHANGE, REINVESTMENT OR CROSS-REINVESTMENT FROM ANOTHER FUND HAVING A SALES CHARGE QUALIFY; HOWEVER, DIRECT PURCHASES OF CLASS A SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND ARE EXCLUDED.

42

RIGHTS OF COMBINATION. Purchases may be combined to reduce Class A sales charges if made by:

- you and your immediate family for your own account(s), including individual retirement, custodial and personal trust accounts;

- a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust, estate or fiduciary account; and

- groups which qualify for the Group Investment Program as described in the SAI.

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. You may add the current market value of your existing holdings in any fund and class of shares of the Trust (including combinations), to the amount of your next purchase of Class A shares to qualify for reduced sales charges. The current value of existing investments in your MEMBERS variable annuity contract may also be taken into account to determine your Class A sales charges.

LETTER OF INTENT. You may purchase Class A shares of a fund over a 13-month period and receive the same sales charge as if all shares had been purchased at once by signing a Letter of Intent ("LOI"). Such an investment (including combinations) must aggregate at least $25,000 if investing in equity funds or at least $50,000 or more if investing in bond funds during the 13-month period from the date of the LOI or from a date within ninety (90) days prior thereto, upon written request to MEMBERS Mutual Funds. For the purposes of calculating if the total investment amount specified in the LOI has been met, historical cost of the original shares purchased will be used, and reinvested dividends and capital gains, and appreciation of your holdings are not included. A small portion of the initial purchase (approximately 5% of the aggregate) will be held in escrow to cover the difference in Class A sales charges that may be due if your total investments over the 13-month period do not qualify for the sales charge reduction you received. The escrowed shares will be released upon completion of the LOI or at the end of the 13-month period, whichever comes first.

CLASS A SALES CHARGE WAIVERS

Class A shares may be purchased without front-end sales charges by the following individuals and institutions:

- Credit union employees and their immediate family, when purchasing shares for their own personal accounts.

- Registered representatives of broker/dealers and registered investment advisers authorized to sell the funds when purchasing shares for their own account or for the benefit of their immediate family.

- Individuals and their immediate family who within the past twelve months were trustees, directors, officers, or employees of the CUNA Mutual Group (which consists of CUNA Mutual Insurance Society and its subsidiaries and affiliates) or any of its affiliated companies, or any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan which beneficially owns shares for those persons, provided the purchase is made directly by mail, internet or telephone without the consultation of a registered representative. If the purchase is made through a registered representative, sales charges as described in this prospectus may apply.

- Individuals and their immediate family who within the past twelve months were members of the Board or of the board of trustees of the Ultra Series Fund; or any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan which beneficially owns shares for those persons.

- Individuals and their immediate family who are trustees, directors, officers or employees of the adviser, subadviser, or service providers of the Trust.

- Credit union system-affiliated institutional investors and other non-profit organizations as described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

- Credit union employees, and employees of non-profit organizations that qualify as tax-exempt under section 501(c) of the Code, when purchasing shares in a 457(b) eligible deferred compensation plan.

- Certain qualified defined benefit or qualified defined contribution pension plans, including 401(k) plans, with over $250,000 of assets.

Class A shares may be purchased without front-end sales charges in the following transactions:

- In fee-based managed account programs with the fund's distributor or dealers that have a special arrangement with the fund's distributor or investment adviser.

- With proceeds from the liquidation of a CUNA Mutual Group-affiliated pension product. (For employees of CUNA Mutual Group or any of its affiliated companies, the sales charge waiver applies provided the purchase is made directly by mail, internet or telephone without the consultation of a registered representative. If the purchase is made through a registered representative, sales charge as described in this prospectus may apply.)

- In Retirement Health Care Funding Program accounts (FAS 106) and Employee Option Plan accounts administered by CUNA Mutual Group.

- Reinvestment of dividends or capital gains from one of the funds.

- By exchange from one fund to another.

- Pursuant to the funds' reinstatement or reinvestment privilege (see the SAI for more information).

- From the proceeds of shares of another fund account on which a load was already paid.

CLASS B SHARES

Class B shares are sold without any initial sales charge. DIRECT PURCHASES OF CLASS B SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND ARE NOT PERMITTED. CLASS B SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND MAY ONLY BE ACQUIRED BY EXCHANGE FROM CLASS B SHARES OF OTHER MEMBERS FUNDS. With the exception of the CASH RESERVES FUND, the fund's distributor pays a commission equal to 4% of the amount invested to broker/dealers who sell Class B shares. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares, based on relative NAV, at the end of the eighth year after purchase (the seventh year after purchase for Class B shares purchased prior to February 28, 2003).

For Class B shares, a CDSC may be applied on shares you sell within six years of purchase (within five years for Class B shares purchased prior to February 28, 2003) as indicated below.

PURCHASE DATE ON OR AFTER FEBRUARY 28, 2003

Years After Purchase     1      2      3      4      5      6      7
--------------------   -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----
CDSC                    4.5%   4.0%   3.5%   3.0%   2.0%   1.0%   None

PURCHASE DATE BEFORE FEBRUARY 28, 2003

Years After Purchase     1      2      3      4      5      6
--------------------   -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----
CDSC                   4.5%    4.0%   3.5%   3.0%   2.0%   None

The CDSC is based on the original purchase cost or the current NAV of the shares being sold, whichever is less. The longer the time between the purchase and the sale of shares, the lower the rate of the CDSC. There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. Certain withdrawals, including those made through a systematic withdrawal program, may not be subject to a CDSC. For more information, see the "Class B CDSC Waivers" subsection, below.

For purposes of computing the CDSC, all purchases made during a calendar month are counted as having been made on the FIRST day of that month. To minimize your CDSC, each time you place a request to sell shares we will first sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC. If there are not enough of these to meet your request, we will sell those shares that you have owned for the longest period of time. Specifically, we will sell shares that represent share price increases (if any) first, then dividends, then the oldest-aged shares.

For example, assume that you purchased 100 shares of a fund on January 1, Year 1 for $10 per share, another 100 shares on January 1, Year 2 for $15 per share, and another 100 shares on January 1, Year 3 for $20 per share. Also assume that dividends of $1.50 and $2.00 per share were paid on December 31, Year 1 and Year 2, respectively, and reinvested. Your account can be summarized as:

                                                             SHARES                  ACCOUNT
DATE                 ACTION                PRICE PER SHARE  PURCHASED  TOTAL SHARES   VALUE
-------------------  --------------------  ---------------  ---------  ------------  -------
January 1, Year 1    Purchased shares            $10           100          100      $1,000
December 31, Year 1  Reinvested dividends        $15           10           110      $1,650
January 1, Year 2    Purchased shares            $15           100          210      $3,150
December 31, Year 2  Reinvested dividends        $20           21           231      $4,620
January 1, Year 3    Purchased shares            $20           100          331      $6,620

Assume further that you sell 200 shares in Year 3 and that the share price as of the end of the day you sell your shares is $20. The $6,620 in your account can be broken down into share price increases of $1,500 (100 shares appreciated from $10 to $20 per share; 100 shares appreciated from $15 to $20 per share; and 100 shares have not appreciated), dividends of $620 ($200, $150 on 12/31 in Year 1 plus $50 in share price increases; and $420 on 12/31 in Year 2), and purchase payments of $4,500 ($1,000 in Year 1, $1,500 in Year 2, and $2,000 in Year 3). You would incur the following CDSC charges:

TYPE OF SHARES SOLD (IN ORDER)               AMOUNT     CDSC (%)  CDSC ($)
-------------------------------------------  ---------  --------  --------
Share price increases of purchased shares    $1,500       None       None
Dividends (including share price increases)  $  620       None       None
Aged Shares (oldest sold first):
Purchased January 1, Year 1                  $1,000      3.5%(1)   $35.00
Purchased January 1, Year 2                  $  880(2)   4.0%(1)   $35.20
TOTAL                                        $4,000     1.75%(3)   $70.20


(1) As a percentage of original purchase payment.

(2) $620 of the original $1,500 purchase payment would remain available for redemption.

(3) As a percentage of the amount redeemed.

CLASS B CDSC WAIVERS

In order to ensure you receive a waiver of the CDSC on redemptions of your Class B shares, you need to notify your financial representative or MEMBERS Mutual Funds that you qualify for such a waiver at the time you redeem the shares. If notice is not provided, you may not receive the waiver to which you are otherwise entitled. MEMBERS Mutual Funds may require evidence, and reserves the right to request additional documentation, to verify you are eligible for a waiver of sales charges.

The CDSC may be waived on redemptions of Class B shares under the following circumstances:

- If you have established a systematic withdrawal plan, as long as the redemptions do not exceed 12% of the value of an account annually (calculated at the time of the withdrawal).

- Due to death or disability.

- For the following types of transactions in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) or other qualified retirement plans described under section 401(a) of the Code, unless otherwise noted:

- returns of excess contributions;

- qualified hardship withdrawals; and

- required minimum distributions or to effect life expectancy distributions scheduled under the equal periodic payment exception (sometimes referred to as the 72t exception).

- Pursuant to the Trust's right to liquidate small accounts (see the "General Policies--Small Accounts" section).

CLASS C SHARES

Class C shares are only offered with respect to the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS. Class C shares are sold without any initial sales charge. The fund's distributor pays a commission equal to 1% of the amount invested to broker/dealers who sell Class C shares. For Class C shares, a CDSC of 1% may be applied on shares you sell within one year of purchase.

The CDSC is based on the original purchase cost or the current NAV of the shares being sold, whichever is less. There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. Certain withdrawals, including those made through a systematic withdrawal program, may not be subject to a CDSC. For more information, see the "Class C CDSC Waivers" subsection, below.

For purposes of computing the CDSC, all purchases made during a calendar month are counted as having been made on the FIRST day of that month. To minimize your CDSC, each time you place a request to sell shares, we will first sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC. If there are not enough of these to meet your request, we will sell those shares that you have owned for the longest period of time. Specifically, we will sell shares that represent share price increases (if any) first, then dividends, then the oldest-aged shares.

Class C shares do not convert to any other share class.

45

CLASS Y SHARES

Class Y shares are sold without the imposition of a sales charge and are generally only available for purchase by the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, other affiliated target allocation funds offered through separate prospectuses, in fee-based managed account programs with the fund's distributor or dealers that have special arrangements with the fund's distributor, and other investors as the Board may authorize from time to time.

Please refer to the SAI or the funds' website at www.membersfunds.com for additional information on sales charge reductions and waivers. The SAI is available free of charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-877-6089. The funds' website includes hyperlinks to the information provided herein and to the additional information that is referenced in the SAI.

REDEMPTION FEES

You will be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem or exchange Class A and Class B shares of the SMALL CAP VALUE FUND, SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND and THE INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND within 30 calendar days of purchase. Neither Class Y shares, Class C shares nor any of the other funds' Class A or B shares are subject to redemption fees at this time.

All redemption fees charged are for the benefit of the then current shareholders and paid directly to the fund from which the shares were redeemed to help offset any trading costs, market impact and/or other costs associated with short-term trading in and out of the funds.

Redemption fees are assessed on the current market value of the shares being redeemed. For the purpose of applying the redemption fee, shares will be redeemed in the order of their purchase with those held the longest being redeemed first. Shares transferred to a different account registration or converted to a different share class will retain their original purchase date and continue to be subject to redemption fees.

REDEMPTION FEE WAIVERS

The 2% redemption fee will not be charged to:

- Shares redeemed that are acquired through the automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.

- Shares redeemed under a regularly scheduled systematic withdrawal, systematic exchange, or automatic account rebalancing program (see the "Additional Investor Services" section).

- Shares redeemed due to death or disability.

- Shares redeemed for the following types of transactions in individual retirement accounts (IRAs), other qualified retirement plans described under section 401(a) of the Code and 457 non-qualified deferred compensation plans, unless otherwise noted:

- returns of excess contributions;

- qualified hardship withdrawals; and

- required minimum distributions or to effect life expectancy distributions scheduled under the equal periodic payment exception (sometimes referred to as the 72t exception).

- Shares redeemed pursuant to the Trust's right to liquidate small accounts (see the "General Policies--Small Accounts" section).

- Shares redeemed in fee-based managed accounts programs with the fund's distributor or dealers that have a special arrangement with the fund's distributor or investment adviser.

- Shares redeemed in certain omnibus and financial intermediary accounts where the omnibus or intermediary account holder does not have the capability to impose a redemption fee on its underlying customers' accounts.

The funds reserve the right to waive or impose redemption fees or withdraw waivers at their discretion, to the extent permitted by law. In addition, the funds reserve the right to modify or eliminate redemption fees or waivers without giving advance notice to shareholders, but any such modification or elimination will be imposed prospectively only.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS

SERVICE FEES. Class A, B and C shares of each of the funds, other than the CASH RESERVES FUND, pays its principal underwriter, CBSI, a service fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to each class of shares of that fund. The service fee is used by CBSI to cover its costs of servicing shareholder accounts or to compensate other qualified broker/dealers who sell shares of the funds pursuant to agreements with CBSI for their costs of servicing shareholder accounts. CBSI may retain any portion of the service fee for which there is no broker/dealer of record as partial consideration for its services with respect to shareholder accounts. Class Y shares do not impose a service fee.

46

DISTRIBUTION OR "12B-1" FEES (CLASS B AND C ONLY). The Trust has adopted distribution plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, for the Class B and C shares. Under the terms of each plan, each fund pays CBSI a fee equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and C shares of that fund. CBSI may use this fee to cover its distribution-related expenses (including commissions paid to broker/dealers for selling Class B and C shares) or distribution-related expenses of dealers. This fee increases the cost of investment in the Class B and C shares of a fund and over time may cost more than paying the initial sales charge for Class A shares.

OTHER COMPENSATION TO BROKER/DEALERS

Periodically, the fund's distributor may conduct or pay for educational meetings for the purpose of training representatives selling the funds.

SELLING SHARES

The following explains how to sell your shares by letter, phone, exchange, or Internet. You may sell shares at any time. Upon request, your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is accepted in good order by the fund. Good order means that the request includes the fund and account number, amount of transaction, signatures of the owners as noted below and signature guarantee if required.

In certain circumstances, you will need to make your request to sell shares in writing, which may require sending additional documents. In addition, you will need to obtain a STAMP2000 MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTEE "SIGNATURE GUARANTEE" if the redemption is:

- over $50,000;

- made payable to someone other than the registered shareholder(s); or

- mailed to an address other than the address of record, or an address that has been changed within the last 30 days.

You can generally obtain a signature guarantee from a credit union or other financial institution, a broker or securities dealer, or a securities exchange or clearing agency. A notary public CANNOT provide a signature guarantee.
MEMBERS MUTUAL FUNDS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE A SIGNATURE GUARANTEE ON ANY REDEMPTION.

GENERAL POLICIES

LIMITATION ON PURCHASES. If you purchase shares by check and your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees incurred. A charge of $30 will be assessed for each returned check occurrence. We do not accept third-party checks, starter checks, credit cards, credit card checks, or cash to purchase shares. All purchase payments must be denominated in U. S. dollars and drawn on or from U.S. credit unions or other financial institutions. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL NOT NORMALLY ACCEPT PURCHASE ORDERS OF MORE THAN $100,000 FOR CLASS B SHARES FROM A SINGLE INVESTOR, NOR WILL WE NORMALLY ACCEPT PURCHASE ORDERS OF MORE THAN $999,999 FOR CLASS C SHARES FROM A SINGLE INVESTOR.

PRICING OF FUND SHARES. The NAV for each fund and class is determined each business day at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (typically 3 P.M., Central Time) by dividing the net assets of each fund and class by the number of shares outstanding of that fund and class. Transaction requests received after 3:00 P.M., Central Time, will be processed using the next day's NAV. The NAV per share for each fund and class is not determined on days the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The New York Stock Exchange is closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

For all funds other than the CASH RESERVES FUND, a fund's NAV is equal to the market value of its investments and other assets, less any liabilities, divided by the number of fund shares. Since the assets of each TARGET ALLOCATION FUND consist primarily of shares of the underlying funds, the NAV of each ALLOCATION FUND is determined based on the NAVs of the underlying funds.

Because each TARGET ALLOCATION FUND will only invest in underlying funds, government securities and short-term paper, it is not anticipated that MCA will need to "fair" value any of the investments of the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS. However, an underlying fund may need to "fair" value one or more of its investments, which may, in turn, require a TARGET ALLOCATION FUND to do the same because of delays in obtaining the underlying fund's NAV. The following fair valuation policy is followed by MCA with respect to the funds that it advises. It is anticipated that unaffiliated underlying funds will have a fair valuation policy that is somewhat similar and such policy will be described in the prospectus of the underlying fund, including an explanation of the circumstances under which fair value pricing will be used and the effects of using fair value pricing.

If quotations are not readily available for a security or other portfolio investment, or if it is believed that a quotation or other market price for a security or other portfolio investment does not represent its fair value, MCA may value the security or

48

investment using procedures approved by the Board that are designed to establish its "fair" value. The fair valuation procedures may be used to value any investment of any fund in the appropriate circumstances. Securities and other investments valued at their "fair" value entail significantly greater valuation risk than do securities and other investments valued at an established market value.

MCA relies on its fair value procedures most often in connection with foreign securities whose principal trading market(s) is outside the U.S. and/or are denominated in a foreign currency. From time to time, events occur that affect the issuers of such foreign securities or the securities themselves, or information about the issuer or securities becomes available, after the close of trading in the securities but before 3:00 P.M., Central Time. In these situations, the fair value of the foreign security may be something other than the last available quotation or other market price. With regard to such foreign securities, the fair valuation procedures include consultation with an independent "fair value" pricing service. Nonetheless, MCA separately evaluates each such foreign security and may, in conformity with the fair valuation procedures, establish a different fair value than that reached by the independent pricing service or other financial institutions or investment managers.

Determining the fair value of securities involves consideration of objective factors as well as the application of subjective judgments about their issuers and the markets in which they are traded. A number of methodologies are available for determining the value of securities for which there is no clear market value or for which after-market events make prior market values unreliable. The value established by MCA under the fair valuation procedures for any security or other investment (or underlying fund) may vary from the last quoted sale price or market close price, or from the value given to the same security or investment by: (1) an independent pricing service, (2) other financial institutions or investment managers or (3) MCA had it used a different methodology to value the security. The Trust and MCA cannot assure that a security or other portfolio investment can be sold at the fair value assigned to it at any time.

The securities held by the CASH RESERVES FUND are valued on the basis of amortized cost. This involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization of any discount or premium until the instrument's maturity, rather than evaluating actual changes in the market value of the instrument. The CASH RESERVES FUND'S NAV is normally expected to be $1 per share.

To the extent the funds hold portfolio securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the funds do not price their shares, the NAV of such funds' shares may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem the funds' shares.

BUY AND SELL PRICES. When you buy shares, you pay the NAV plus any applicable sales charges, as described earlier. When you sell shares, you receive the NAV minus any applicable CDSC and redemption fee. Purchase orders and redemption and exchange requests will be executed at the price next determined after the order or request is received in good order by MEMBERS Mutual Funds, as described in the "Purchasing Shares" and "Selling Shares" sections.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO INFORMATION. The fund may make selective disclosure of portfolio information to various service providers. For more information on these disclosures, please refer to the SAI.

EXECUTION OF REQUESTS. Each fund is open on those days when the New York Stock Exchange is open, typically Monday through Friday. Buy and sell requests are executed at the next NAV to be calculated after your request is received in good order by MEMBERS Mutual Funds. In unusual circumstances, any fund may temporarily suspend the processing of sell requests, or may postpone payment of proceeds for up to three business days or longer, as allowed by federal securities law.

SALES IN ADVANCE OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS. When you place a request to sell shares for which the purchase payment has not yet been collected, the request will be executed in a timely fashion, but the fund will not release the proceeds to you until your purchase payment clears. This may take up to ten business days after the purchase.

FREQUENT TRADING. Excessive or short-term trading in fund shares may harm a fund's performance, and thereby harm other shareholders in the fund, in three respects. First, frequent traders may exploit the fact that a fund has calculated its NAV using closing prices of securities that are no longer current, thereby diluting the value of long-term shareholders' interests in a fund. Second, to meet higher levels of redemptions caused by frequent traders, a fund may be required to maintain a larger percentage of the fund's assets in cash or be forced to liquidate certain holdings at inopportune times, thereby compromising portfolio management strategies. Third, frequent purchases and redemptions by frequent traders will cause a fund to incur greater expenses for buying and selling securities, which are borne by all fund shareholders.

49

The Trust, on behalf of each of the funds, has adopted policies and procedures with respect to frequent traders. Included in the policies and procedures are the several methods MEMBERS Mutual Funds currently employs to detect and deter frequent traders, including:

- applying exchange limit guidelines;

- charging redemption fees on short-term trades;

- selectively monitoring trade activity; and

- exercising broad authority to take discretionary action against frequent traders and against particular trades, including delaying payment of the proceeds from the redemption of fund shares for up to seven days, and identifying frequent traders and restricting their trading privileges or expelling them from a fund.

In addition to the above, to combat dilution of the value of long-term shareholders' interests in a fund, a fund may employ fair valuation procedures on the securities it holds in its portfolio, as described in the "Pricing of Fund Shares" subsection, above.

Each of the above methods to protect the interests of investors involves judgments that are inherently subjective, although MEMBERS Mutual Funds and its service providers seek to make judgments that are consistent with long-term investors' interests. Moreover, each of these methods involves some selectivity in their application. While the funds seek to take actions that will detect and deter frequent trading, they cannot assure that such activity can be completely eliminated. For instance, the funds may not be able to identify or reasonably detect or deter frequent trading transactions that are facilitated by financial intermediaries or made through the use of omnibus accounts that transmit purchase, exchange, and redemption orders to the funds on behalf of their customers who are the beneficial owners.

TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS. For your protection, telephone requests are recorded in order to verify their accuracy. In addition, MEMBERS Mutual Funds will take measures to verify the caller's identity, such as asking for name, account number, Social Security or taxpayer ID number and other relevant information. MEMBERS Mutual Funds is not responsible for any losses that may occur due to unauthorized telephone calls. Also for your protection, redemption transactions are not permitted via telephone on accounts for which names or addresses have been changed within the past 30 days unless the account has been pre-authorized for EFT or wire redemption privileges to a credit union or other financial institution account.

INTERNET TRANSACTIONS. For your protection, you will need your Social Security and account number to establish access to your account on the Internet. You will be asked to assign a unique password and need to use that password on all future visits to verify your identity. Buy and sell prices and valuation of shares procedures are consistent with the policies noted above. MEMBERS Mutual Funds is not responsible for any losses that may occur due to unauthorized access.

HOUSEHOLDING. To reduce shareholder service expenses, MEMBERS Mutual Funds intends to send only one copy of its reports per household regardless of the number of investors at the household or the number of accounts held. However, any investor may obtain additional reports upon request to MEMBERS Mutual Funds.

ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. In general, you will receive account statements every quarter, as well as after every transaction (except for any dividend reinvestment or systematic transactions) that affects your account balance and after any changes of name or address of the registered owner(s). Every year you should also receive, if applicable, a Form 1099 tax information statement, which will be mailed to you by January 31.

SMALL ACCOUNTS. Due to the high fixed cost of maintaining mutual fund accounts, MEMBERS Mutual Funds reserves the right to close any non-retirement accounts (excluding accounts set up with a systematic investment program) that have balances below $1,000. We will mail you a notice asking you to bring the account value up to $1,000 or initiate a systematic investment program. If you do not bring the account value up to $1,000 or initiate a systematic investment program within 60 days, MEMBERS Mutual Funds may sell your shares and mail the proceeds to you at your address of record.

SPECIAL REDEMPTIONS. Although no fund would normally do so, each fund has the right to pay the redemption price of shares of the fund in whole or in part in portfolio securities held by the fund as prescribed by the Board. Each fund must redeem its shares for cash except to the extent that the redemption payments to any shareholder during any 90-day period would exceed the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the fund's NAV at the beginning of such period. See the SAI for more information.

ADDITIONAL INVESTOR SERVICES

SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM. You may set up regular investments from your credit union or other financial institution account to the fund of your choice, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CLASS B SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND WHICH CANNOT BE PURCHASED DIRECTLY. You determine the frequency and amount of your investments, and you may terminate the program at any time. Investments must be made at least once each quarter and may be as little as $25 per transaction ($50 minimum per fund per month).

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

The funds generally distribute most or all of their net investment company taxable income and net capital gain. Capital gain distributions, if any, are typically made in December. Payments are made as follows:

- Declared daily and paid monthly: CASH RESERVES and BOND FUNDS.

- Declared monthly and paid monthly: HIGH INCOME and DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUNDS.

- Declared annually and paid annually: CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION, MODERATE ALLOCATION, AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION, LARGE CAP VALUE, LARGE CAP GROWTH, MID CAP VALUE, MID CAP GROWTH, SMALL CAP VALUE, SMALL CAP GROWTH and INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUNDS.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENTS. Many investors have their distribution payments reinvested in additional shares of the same fund and class. If you choose this option, or if you do not indicate any choice, your distribution payments will be reinvested on the payment date. Alternatively, you can choose to have a check for your distribution payments mailed to you. HOWEVER, IF, FOR ANY REASON, THE CHECK IS NOT DELIVERABLE, YOUR DISTRIBUTION PAYMENTS WILL BE REINVESTED AND NO INTEREST WILL BE PAID ON AMOUNTS REPRESENTED BY THE CHECK.

51

TAXABILITY OF DISTRIBUTIONS. All distributions that you receive from a fund are generally taxable, whether reinvested or received in cash. Distributions from a fund's net investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest, net short-term capital gains, and net gains from foreign currency transactions), if any, generally are taxable as ordinary income, unless such distributions are attributable to "qualified dividend" income eligible for the reduced rate of tax on long-term capital gains or unless you are exempt from taxation or entitled to a tax deferral. Distributions paid by each fund from net capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over short-term capital losses) are taxable as long-term capital gains whether reinvested or received in cash and regardless of the length of time you have owned your shares. Currently, the maximum rate applicable to long-term capital gains, and thus to qualified dividend income, is set at 15%. Under current law, the reduced rates on capital gains and qualified dividend income will cease to apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010. Each fund will inform its shareholders of the portion of its dividends (if any) that constitute qualified dividend income.

Generally, "qualified dividend" income includes dividends received during the taxable year from certain domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. The portion of a distribution that the fund pays that is attributable to qualified dividend income received by the fund will qualify for such treatment in the hands of the noncorporate shareholders of the fund. If a fund has income of which more than 95% was qualified dividends, all of the fund's dividends will be eligible for the lower rates on qualified dividends. Certain holding period requirements applicable to both the fund and the shareholder also must be satisfied to obtain qualified dividend treatment.

When a fund makes a distribution, the fund's NAV decreases by the amount of the payment. If you purchase shares shortly before a distribution, you will, nonetheless, be subject to income taxes on the distribution, even though the value of your investment (plus cash received, if any) remains the same.

Fund distributions from the MODERATE ALLOCATION and DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUNDS are expected to be distributions of both net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Fund distributions from the AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION, MID CAP VALUE, MID CAP GROWTH, LARGE CAP VALUE, LARGE CAP GROWTH, SMALL CAP VALUE, SMALL CAP GROWTH and INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUNDS are expected to be primarily distributions of net capital gains, and fund distributions from the CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION, CASH RESERVES, BOND and HIGH INCOME FUNDS are expected to be primarily distributions of net investment company taxable income.

TAXABILITY OF TRANSACTIONS. Your redemption of fund shares may result in a taxable gain or loss to you, depending on whether the redemption proceeds are more or less than what you paid for the redeemed shares. An exchange of fund shares for shares in any other fund of the Trust generally will have similar tax consequences.

WITHHOLDING. If you do not furnish the Trust with your correct Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number and/or the Trust receives notification from the Internal Revenue Service requiring back-up withholding, the Trust is required by federal law to withhold federal income tax from your distributions and redemption proceeds, currently at a rate of 28% for U.S. residents.

THIS SECTION IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A FULL DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS AND THE EFFECT OF SUCH LAWS ON YOU. THERE MAY BE OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, FOREIGN OR LOCAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISER.

PLEASE SEE THE SAI FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TAXES.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

The funds' investment adviser is MCA, 5910 Mineral Point Road, Madison, Wisconsin 53705. MCA was established on July 6, 1982. It provides investment advice to the investment portfolios of the CUNA Mutual Group and the Ultra Series Fund. As of December 31, 2007, MCA had over $15.1 billion of assets under management. MCA manages all funds using a team approach consisting of a lead portfolio manager, supporting analysts, and the guidance of MCA's other equity and fixed income portfolio managers.

As payment for its services as the investment adviser, MCA receives a management fee based upon the average daily net assets of each fund which is computed and accrued daily and paid monthly. The management fees paid to MCA, at an annual rate as a percentage of average net assets for the previous fiscal year, were:
0.20% for the CONSERVATIVE, MODERATE and AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION FUNDS, 0.40% for the CASH RESERVES FUND, 0.50% for the BOND FUND, 0.55% for the HIGH INCOME FUND, 0.65% for the DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND, 0.55% for the LARGE CAP VALUE FUND, 0.75%
for the LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND, 0.95% for the MID CAP VALUE FUND, 0.75% for the
MID CAP GROWTH FUND, 1.00% for the SMALL CAP VALUE FUND, 1.00% for the SMALL CAP
GROWTH FUND and 1.05% for the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND. Except for the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, each fund's management fee will be reduced by 0.05% on assets exceeding $500 million, and by another 0.05% on assets exceeding $1 billion.

52

MCA currently manages the assets of all of the funds using a "manager of managers" approach under which MCA may manage some or all of the funds' assets and may allocate some or all of the funds' assets among one or more specialist subadvisers. MCA selects subadvisers based on a continuing quantitative and qualitative evaluation of their abilities in managing assets pursuant to a particular investment style. While superior performance is the ultimate goal, short-term performance by itself will not be a significant factor in selecting or terminating subadvisers, and MCA does not expect frequent changes in subadvisers. MCA compensates subadvisers out of its own assets.

MCA monitors the performance of each subadviser to the extent it deems appropriate to achieve a fund's investment objective, reallocates fund assets among its own portfolio management team and individual subadvisers or recommends to the Board that a fund employ or terminate particular subadvisers. The Trust and MCA received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Board to appoint or change subadvisers without shareholder approval. If there is a change in subadvisers, you will receive an "information statement" within 90 days of the change. The statement will provide you with relevant information about the reason for the change and information about any new subadvisers.

A discussion regarding the basis for the approval of the funds' investment advisory contracts by the Board is contained in the funds' annual report to shareholders for the period ended October 31, 2007.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Trust is a diversified, open-end management investment company consisting of separate investment portfolios or funds (each, a "fund") each of which has a different investment objective and policies. Each fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company, commonly known as a mutual fund. The funds described in both the prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI") are the CASH RESERVES, BOND, HIGH INCOME, DIVERSIFIED INCOME, LARGE CAP VALUE, LARGE CAP GROWTH, MID CAP VALUE, MID CAP GROWTH, SMALL CAP VALUE, SMALL CAP GROWTH, AND INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUNDS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "CORE FUNDS"), AND THE CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION, MODERATE ALLOCATION AND AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION FUNDS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS").

The Trust was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 21, 1997 and is a Delaware statutory trust. As a Delaware statutory trust, the Trust's operations are governed by its Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated February 28, 2008 (the "Declaration of Trust") and its Certificate of Trust dated May 16, 1997 (the "Certificate"). The Certificate is on file with the Office of the Secretary of State in Delaware. Each shareholder agrees to be bound by the Declaration of Trust, as amended from time to time, upon such shareholder's initial purchase of shares of beneficial interest in any one of the funds.

INVESTMENT PRACTICES

The prospectus describes the investment objective and policies of each of the funds. The following information is provided for those investors wishing to have more comprehensive information than that contained in the prospectus.

Since each TARGET ALLOCATION FUND will invest in shares of other investment companies, except as disclosed in the prospectus, to the extent that an investment practice noted below describes specific securities, if a TARGET ALLOCATION FUND invests in those securities, it does so indirectly, through its investment in underlying funds.

LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES and the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, may lend portfolio securities. Loans will be made only in accordance with guidelines established by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") and on the request of broker-dealers or institutional investors deemed qualified, and only when the borrower agrees to maintain cash or other liquid assets as collateral with a fund equal at all times to at least 102% of the value of the securities. A fund will continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned and will, at the same time, earn an agreed-upon amount of interest on the collateral which will be invested in readily marketable short-term obligations of high quality. A fund will retain the right to call the loaned securities and may call loaned voting securities if important shareholder meetings are imminent. Such security loans will not be made if, as a result, the aggregate of such loans exceeds 33 1/3% of the value of a fund's assets. The fund may terminate such loans at any time. The primary risk involved in lending securities is that the borrower will fail financially and not return the loaned securities at a time when the collateral is not sufficient to replace the full amount of the loaned securities. To mitigate the risk, loans will be made only to firms deemed by the funds' investment adviser, MEMBERS Capital Advisors, Inc. ("MCA"), to be in good financial standing and will not be made unless, in MCA's judgment, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk.

RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES

Each fund may invest in illiquid securities up to the percentage limits described below in the "Higher-Risk Securities and Practices" section. MCA or a fund's subadviser (collectively referred to herein as the "Investment Adviser") is responsible for determining the value and liquidity of investments held by each fund. Thus, it is up to the Investment Adviser to determine if any given security is illiquid. Investments may be illiquid because of the absence of a trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price.

Illiquid investments often include repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days, currency swaps, time deposits with a notice or demand period of more than seven days, certain over-the-counter option contracts (and assets used to cover such options), participation interests in loans and restricted securities. A restricted security is one that has a contractual restriction on resale or cannot be resold publicly until it is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").

3

Each fund may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are not, however, considered illiquid if they are eligible for sale to qualified institutional purchasers in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and are determined to be liquid by the Board or by the Investment Adviser under Board-approved procedures. Such guidelines would take into account trading activity for such securities, among other factors. To the extent that qualified institutional buyers become for a time uninterested in purchasing these restricted securities, a fund's holdings of those securities may become illiquid. Purchases by the INTERNATIONAL STOCK and HIGH INCOME FUNDS of securities of foreign issuers offered and sold outside the U.S., in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the 1933 Act, also may be liquid even though they are restricted.

FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS

Foreign Securities. Each fund may invest in foreign securities; provided, however, that the CASH RESERVES FUND is limited to U.S. dollar-denominated foreign money market securities (as defined below). The percentage limitations on each fund's investment in foreign securities are set forth in the prospectus and below in the "Higher-Risk Securities and Practices" section.

Foreign securities refers to securities that are: (1) issued by companies organized outside the U.S. or whose principal operations are outside the U.S. ("foreign issuers"), (2) issued by foreign governments or their agencies or instrumentalities (also "foreign issuers"), (3) principally traded outside of the U.S. or (4) quoted or denominated in a foreign currency ("non-dollar securities"). However, any dollar denominated security that is part of the Merrill Lynch U.S. Domestic Market Index is not considered a foreign security.

Foreign securities may offer potential benefits that are not available from investments exclusively in securities of domestic issuers or dollar-denominated securities. Such benefits may include the opportunity to invest in foreign issuers that appear to offer better opportunity for long-term capital appreciation or current earnings than investments in domestic issuers, the opportunity to invest in foreign countries with economic policies or business cycles different from those of the U.S. and the opportunity to invest in foreign securities markets that do not necessarily move in a manner parallel to U.S. markets.

Investing in foreign securities involves significant risks that are not typically associated with investing in U.S. dollar-denominated securities or in securities of domestic issuers. Such investments may be affected by changes in currency exchange rates, changes in foreign or U.S. laws or restrictions applicable to such investments and in exchange control regulations (e.g., currency blockage). Some foreign stock markets may have substantially less volume than, for example, the New York Stock Exchange and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid than securities of comparable domestic issuers. Commissions and dealer mark-ups on transactions in foreign investments may be higher than for similar transactions in the U.S. In addition, clearance and settlement procedures may be different in foreign countries and, in certain markets, on certain occasions, such procedures have been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions, thus making it difficult to conduct such transactions.

Foreign issuers are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. There may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than about a domestic one. In addition, there is generally less government regulation of stock exchanges, brokers, and listed and unlisted issuers in foreign countries than in the U.S. Furthermore, with respect to certain foreign countries, there is a possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets of the fund making the investment, or political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could affect investments in those countries.

Investments in short-term debt obligations issued either by foreign issuers or foreign financial institutions or by foreign branches of U.S. financial institutions (collectively, "foreign money market securities") present many of the same risks as other foreign investments. In addition, foreign money market securities present interest rate risks similar to those attendant to an investment in domestic money market securities.

Investments in ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. Many securities of foreign issuers are represented by American depository receipts ("ADRs"), European depository receipts ("EDRs") and Global depository receipts ("GDRs"). Each fund may invest in ADRs; and each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may invest in GDRs and EDRs.

4

ADRs are receipts typically issued by a U.S. financial institution or trust company which represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a domestic bank or a foreign correspondent bank. Prices of ADRs are quoted in U.S. dollars, and ADRs are traded in the U.S. on exchanges or over-the-counter and are sponsored and issued by domestic banks. In general, there is a large, liquid market in the U.S. for ADRs quoted on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market. The information available for ADRs is subject to the accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards of the domestic market or exchange on which they are traded, which standards are more uniform and more exacting than those to which many foreign issuers may be subject.

EDRs and GDRs are receipts evidencing an arrangement with a non-U.S. bank similar to that for ADRs and are designed for use in non-U.S. securities markets. EDRs are typically issued in bearer form and are designed for trading in the European markets. GDRs, issued either in bearer or registered form, are designed for trading on a global basis. EDRs and GDRs are not necessarily quoted in the same currency as the underlying security.

Depository receipts do not eliminate all the risk inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers. To the extent that a fund acquires depository receipts through banks which do not have a contractual relationship with the foreign issuer of the security underlying the receipt to issue and service such depository receipts, there may be an increased possibility that the fund would not become aware of and be able to respond to corporate actions such as stock splits or rights offerings involving the foreign issuer in a timely manner. The market value of depository receipts is dependent upon the market value of the underlying securities and fluctuations in the relative value of the currencies in which the receipts and the underlying are quoted. In addition, the lack of information may result in inefficiencies in the valuation of such instruments. However, by investing in depository receipts rather than directly in the stock of foreign issuers, a fund will avoid currency risks during the settlement period for either purchases or sales.

Investments in Emerging Markets. Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may invest in securities of issuers located in countries with emerging economies and/or securities markets. These countries are located in the Asia Pacific region, Eastern Europe, Central and South America and Africa. Political and economic structures in many of these countries may be undergoing significant evolution and rapid development, and such countries may lack the social, political and economic stability characteristic of more developed countries. Certain of these countries may have in the past failed to recognize private property rights and have at times nationalized or expropriated the assets of private companies. As a result, the risks of foreign investment generally, including the risks of nationalization or expropriation of assets, may be heightened. In addition, unanticipated political or social developments may affect the values of a fund's investments in those countries and the availability to the fund of additional investments in those countries.

The small size and inexperience of the securities markets in certain of these countries and the limited volume of trading in securities in those countries may also make investments in such countries illiquid and more volatile than investments in Japan or most Western European countries, and the funds may be required to establish special custody or other arrangements before making certain investments in those countries. There may be little financial or accounting information available with respect to issuers located in certain of such countries, and it may be difficult as a result to assess the value or prospects of an investment in such issuers.

A fund's purchase or sale of portfolio securities in certain emerging markets may be constrained by limitations as to daily changes in the prices of listed securities, periodic trading or settlement volume and/or limitations on aggregate holdings of foreign investors. Such limitations may be computed based on aggregate trading volume by or holdings of a fund, MCA or its affiliates, a subadviser and its affiliates, and each such person's respective clients and other service providers. A fund may not be able to sell securities in circumstances where price, trading or settlement volume limitations have been reached.

Foreign investment in certain emerging securities markets is restricted or controlled to varying degrees that may limit investment in such countries or increase the administrative cost of such investments. For example, certain Asian countries require government approval prior to investments by foreign persons or limit investment by foreign persons to a specified percentage of an issuer's outstanding securities or a specific class of securities which may have less advantageous terms (including price) than securities of such company available for purchase by nationals. In addition, certain countries may restrict or prohibit investment opportunities in issuers or industries important to national interests. Such restrictions may affect the market price, liquidity and rights of securities that may be purchased by a fund.

Settlement procedures in emerging markets are frequently less developed and reliable than those in the U.S. and may involve a fund's delivery of securities before receipt of payment for their sale. In addition, significant delays are common

5

in certain markets in registering the transfer of securities. Settlement or registration problems may make it more difficult for a fund to value its portfolio assets and could cause a fund to miss attractive investment opportunities, to have its assets uninvested or to incur losses due to the failure of a counterparty to pay for securities that the fund has delivered or due to the fund's inability to complete its contractual obligations.

Currently, there is no market or only a limited market for many management techniques and instruments with respect to the currencies and securities markets of emerging market countries. Consequently, there can be no assurance that suitable instruments for hedging currency and market related risks will be available at the times when the Investment Adviser of the fund wishes to use them.

Foreign Currency Transactions. Because investment in foreign issuers will usually involve currencies of foreign countries, and because each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may have currency exposure independent of their securities positions, the value of the assets of these funds, as measured in U.S. dollars, will be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. An issuer of securities purchased by a fund may be domiciled in a country other than the country in whose currency the instrument is denominated or quoted. The HIGH INCOME, MID CAP GROWTH and INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUNDS may also invest in securities quoted or denominated in the European Currency Unit ("ECU"), which is a "basket" consisting of specified amounts of the currencies of certain of the twelve member states of the European Economic Community. The specific amounts of currencies comprising the ECU may be adjusted by the Council of Ministers of the European Economic Community from time to time to reflect changes in relative values of the underlying currencies. In addition, these three funds may invest in securities quoted or denominated in other currency "baskets."

Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time causing, along with other factors, a fund's net asset value ("NAV") to fluctuate as well. They generally are determined by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange markets and the relative merits of investments in different countries, actual or anticipated changes in interest rates and other complex factors, as seen from an international perspective. Currency exchange rates also can be affected unpredictably by intervention by U.S. or foreign governments or central banks, or the failure to intervene, or by currency controls or political developments in the U.S. or abroad. The market in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, currency swaps and other privately negotiated currency instruments offers less protection against defaults by the other party to such instruments than is available for currency instruments traded on an exchange. To the extent that a substantial portion of a fund's total assets, adjusted to reflect the fund's net position after giving effect to currency transactions, is denominated or quoted in the currencies of foreign countries, the fund will be more susceptible to the risk of adverse economic and political developments within those countries.

In addition to investing in securities denominated or quoted in a foreign currency, certain of the funds may engage in a variety of foreign currency management techniques. These funds may hold foreign currency received in connection with investments in foreign securities when, in the judgment of the fund's Investment Adviser, it would be beneficial to convert such currency into U.S. dollars at a later date, based on anticipated changes in the relevant exchange rate. These funds will incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may also purchase or sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts for defensive or hedging purposes when the fund's Investment Adviser anticipates that the foreign currency will appreciate or depreciate in value, but securities denominated or quoted in that currency do not present attractive investment opportunities and are not held in the fund's portfolio. In addition, these funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to protect against anticipated changes in future foreign currency exchange rates and may engage in cross-hedging by using forward contracts in a currency different from that in which the hedged security is denominated or quoted if the fund's Investment Adviser determines that there is a pattern of correlation between the two currencies.

These funds may enter into contracts to purchase foreign currencies to protect against an anticipated rise in the U.S. dollar price of securities it intends to purchase. They may enter into contracts to sell foreign currencies to protect against the decline in value of its foreign currency denominated or quoted portfolio securities, or a decline in the value of anticipated dividends from such securities, due to a decline in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar. Contracts to sell foreign currency could limit any potential gain which might be realized by a fund if the value of the hedged currency increased.

6

If a fund enters into a forward foreign currency exchange contract to buy foreign currency for any purpose, the fund will be required to place cash or liquid securities in a segregated account with the fund's custodian in an amount equal to the value of the fund's total assets committed to the consummation of the forward contract. If the value of the securities placed in the segregated account declines, additional cash or securities will be placed in the segregated account so that the value of the account will equal the amount of a fund's commitment with respect to the contract.

Forward contracts are subject to the risk that the counterparty to such contract will default on its obligations. Since a forward foreign currency exchange contract is not guaranteed by an exchange or clearinghouse, a default on the contract would deprive a fund of unrealized profits, transaction costs or the benefits of a currency hedge or force the fund to cover its purchase or sale commitments, if any, at the current market price. A fund will not enter into such transactions unless the credit quality of the unsecured senior debt or the claims-paying ability of the counterparty is considered to be investment grade by the fund's Investment Adviser.

Options on Foreign Currencies. Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may also purchase and sell (write) put and call options on foreign currencies for the purpose of protecting against declines in the U.S. dollar value of foreign portfolio securities and anticipated dividends on such securities and against increases in the U.S. dollar cost of foreign securities to be acquired. These funds may use options on currency to cross-hedge, which involves writing or purchasing options on one currency to hedge against changes in exchange rates for a different currency, if there is a pattern of correlation between the two currencies. As with other kinds of option transactions, however, the writing of an option on foreign currency will constitute only a partial hedge, up to the amount of the premium received. A fund could be required to purchase or sell foreign currencies at disadvantageous exchange rates, thereby incurring losses. The purchase of an option on foreign currency may constitute an effective hedge against exchange rate fluctuations; however, in the event of exchange rate movements adverse to a fund's position, the fund may forfeit the entire amount of the premium plus related transaction costs. In addition, these funds may purchase call or put options on currency to seek to increase total return when the fund's Investment Adviser anticipates that the currency will appreciate or depreciate in value, but the securities quoted or denominated in that currency do not present attractive investment opportunities and are not held in the fund's portfolio. When purchased or sold to increase total return, options on currencies are considered speculative. Options on foreign currencies to be written or purchased by these funds will be traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges or over-the-counter. See the "-Risks Associated with Options Transactions" subsection, below, for a discussion of the liquidity risks associated with options transactions.

Special Risks Associated With Options on Currency. An exchange traded options position may be closed out only on an options exchange which provides a secondary market for an option of the same series. Although a fund will generally purchase or write only those options for which there appears to be an active secondary market, there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market on an exchange will exist for any particular option, or at any particular time. For some options no secondary market on an exchange may exist. In such event, it might not be possible to effect closing transactions in particular options, with the result that a fund would have to exercise its options in order to realize any profit and would incur transaction costs upon the sale of underlying securities pursuant to the exercise of put options. If a fund as a covered call option writer is unable to effect a closing purchase transaction in a secondary market, it will not be able to identify the underlying currency (or security quoted or denominated in that currency) until the option expires or it delivers the underlying currency upon exercise.

There is no assurance that higher than anticipated trading activity or other unforeseen events might not, at times, render certain of the facilities of the Options Clearing Corporation inadequate, and thereby result in the institution by an exchange of special procedures which may interfere with the timely execution of customers' orders.

Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may purchase and write over-the-counter options to the extent consistent with its limitation on investments in restricted securities. See the "Higher-Risk Securities and Practices" section, below, for each fund's limitations on investments in restricted securities. Trading in over-the-counter options is subject to the risk that the other party will be unable or unwilling to close-out options purchased or written by a fund.

The amount of the premiums which a fund may pay or receive may be adversely affected as new or existing institutions, including other investment companies, engage in or increase their option purchasing and writing activities.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES AND SECURITIES INDICES

Writing Options. Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may write (sell) covered call and put options on any securities in which it may invest. A call option written by a fund obligates such fund to sell specified securities to the holder of the option at a specified price if the option is exercised at any time before the expiration date. All call options written by a fund are covered, which means that such fund will effectively own the securities subject to the option so long as the option is outstanding. A fund's purpose in writing covered call options is to realize greater income than would be realized on portfolio securities transactions alone. However, a fund may forgo the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market price of the underlying security.

A put option written by a fund would obligate such fund to purchase specified securities from the option holder at a specified price if the option is exercised at any time before the expiration date. All put options written by a fund would be covered, which means that such fund would have deposited with its custodian cash or liquid securities with a value at least equal to the exercise price of the put option. The purpose of writing such options is to generate additional income for a fund. However, in return for the option premium, a fund accepts the risk that it will be required to purchase the underlying securities at a price in excess of the securities' market value at the time of purchase.

In addition, in the Investment Adviser's discretion, a written call option or put option may be covered by maintaining cash or liquid securities (either of which may be denominated in any currency) in a segregated account with the fund's custodian, by entering into an offsetting forward contract and/or by purchasing an offsetting option which, by virtue of its exercise price or otherwise, reduces a fund's net exposure on its written option position.

Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may also write and sell covered call and put options on any securities index composed of securities in which it may invest. Options on securities indices are similar to options on securities, except that the exercise of securities index options requires cash payments and does not involve the actual purchase or sale of securities. In addition, securities index options are designed to reflect price fluctuations in a group of securities or segment of the securities market rather than price fluctuations in a single security.

A fund may cover call options on a securities index by owning securities whose price changes are expected to be similar to those of the underlying index, or by having an absolute and immediate right to acquire such securities without additional cash consideration (or for additional cash consideration held in a segregated account by its custodian) upon conversion or exchange of other securities in its portfolio. A fund may cover call and put options on a securities index by maintaining cash or liquid securities with a value equal to the exercise price in a segregated account with its custodian.

A fund may terminate its obligations under an exchange-traded call or put option by purchasing an option identical to the one it has written. Obligations under over-the-counter options may be terminated only by entering into an offsetting transaction with the counterparty to such option. Such purchases are referred to as "closing purchase" transactions.

Purchasing Options. Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may purchase put and call options on any securities in which it may invest or options on any securities index based on securities in which it may invest. A fund would also be able to enter into closing sale transactions in order to realize gains or minimize losses on options it had purchased.

A fund would normally purchase call options in anticipation of an increase in the market value of securities of the type in which it may invest. The purchase of a call option would entitle a fund, in return for the premium paid, to purchase specified securities at a specified price during the option period. A fund would ordinarily realize a gain if, during the option period, the value of such securities exceeded the sum of the exercise price, the premium paid and transaction costs; otherwise such a fund would realize a loss on the purchase of the call option.

A fund would normally purchase put options in anticipation of a decline in the market value of securities in its portfolio ("protective puts") or in securities in which it may invest. The purchase of a put option would entitle a fund, in exchange for the premium paid, to sell specified securities at a specified price during the option period. The purchase of protective puts is designed to offset or hedge against a decline in the market value of a fund's securities. Put options may also be purchased by a fund for the purpose of affirmatively benefiting from a decline in the price of securities which it does not own. A fund would ordinarily realize a gain if, during the option period, the value of the underlying securities decreased below the exercise price sufficiently to cover the premium and transaction costs; otherwise such a fund would realize no gain or loss on the purchase of the put option. Gains and losses on the purchase of protective put options would tend to be offset by countervailing changes in the value of the underlying portfolio securities.

8

A fund would purchase put and call options on securities indices for the same purpose as it would purchase options on individual securities.

Yield Curve Options. The BOND, HIGH INCOME and DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUNDS may enter into options on the yield "spread," or yield differential between two securities. Such transactions are referred to as "yield curve" options. In contrast to other types of options, a yield curve option is based on the difference between the yields of designated securities, rather than the prices of the individual securities, and is settled through cash payments. Accordingly, a yield curve option is profitable to the holder if this differential widens (in the case of a call) or narrows (in the case of a put), regardless of whether the yields of the underlying securities increase or decrease.

These three funds may purchase or write yield curve options for the same purposes as other options on securities. For example, a fund may purchase a call option on the yield spread between two securities if it owns one of the securities and anticipates purchasing the other security and wants to hedge against an adverse change in the yield between the two securities. A fund may also purchase or write yield curve options in an effort to increase its current income if, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, the fund will be able to profit from movements in the spread between the yields of the underlying securities. The trading of yield curve options is subject to all of the risks associated with the trading of other types of options. In addition, however, such options present risk of loss even if the yield of one of the underlying securities remains constant, if the spread moves in a direction or to an extent which was not anticipated.

Yield curve options written by the BOND, HIGH INCOME and DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUNDS will be "covered." A call (or put) option is covered if a fund holds another call (or put) option on the spread between the same two securities and maintains in a segregated account with its custodian cash or liquid securities sufficient to cover the fund's net liability under the two options. Therefore, a fund's liability for such a covered option is generally limited to the difference between the amount of the fund's liability under the option written by the fund less the value of the option held by the fund. Yield curve options may also be covered in such other manner as may be in accordance with the requirements of the counterparty with which the option is traded and applicable laws and regulations. Yield curve options are traded over-the-counter, and because they have been only recently introduced, established trading markets for these options have not yet developed.

Risks Associated with Options Transactions. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market on an options exchange will exist for any particular exchange-traded option or at any particular time. If a fund is unable to effect a closing purchase transaction with respect to covered options it has written, the fund will not be able to sell the underlying securities or dispose of assets held in a segregated account until the options expire or are exercised. Similarly, if a fund is unable to effect a closing sale transaction with respect to options it has purchased, it will have to exercise the options in order to realize any profit and will incur transaction costs upon the purchase or sale of underlying securities.

Reasons for the absence of a liquid secondary market on an exchange include the following: (i) there may be insufficient trading interest in certain options;
(ii) restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening transactions or closing transactions or both; (iii) trading halts, suspensions or other restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular classes or series of options; (iv) unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an exchange; (v) the facilities of an exchange or the Options Clearing Corporation may not at all times be adequate to handle current trading volume; or (vi) one or more exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of options), in which event the secondary market on that exchange (or in that class or series of options) would cease to exist, although outstanding options on that exchange that had been issued by the Options Clearing Corporation as a result of trades on that exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.

Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may purchase and sell both options that are traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges and options traded over-the-counter with broker-dealers who make markets in these options. The ability to terminate over-the-counter options is more limited than with exchange-traded options and may involve the risk that broker-dealers participating in such transactions will not fulfill their obligations. Until such time as the staff of the SEC changes its position, the funds will treat purchased over-the counter options and all assets used to cover written over-the-counter options as illiquid securities, except that with respect to options written with primary dealers in U.S. Government securities pursuant to an agreement requiring a closing purchase transaction at a formula price, the amount of illiquid securities may be calculated with reference to the formula.

Transactions by a fund in options on securities and stock indices will be subject to limitations established by each of the exchanges, boards of trade or other trading facilities governing the maximum number of options in each class which may

9

be written or purchased by a single investor or group of investors acting in concert. Thus, the number of options which a fund may write or purchase may be affected by options written or purchased by other investment advisory clients of the Investment Adviser. An exchange, board of trade or other trading facility may order the liquidations of positions found to be in excess of these limits, and it may impose certain other sanctions.

The writing and purchase of options is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The successful use of protective puts for hedging purposes depends in part on the Investment Adviser's ability to predict future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation between the options and securities markets.

BANK LOANS

The HIGH INCOME FUND may invest in bank loans to below-investment grade rated corporate issuers via loan participations and assignments. These bank loans may be secured or unsecured. The bank loans in which the HIGH INCOME FUND intends to invest are generally rated below investment grade by a nationally recognized rating service or not rated by any nationally recognized rating service. Participations and assignments involve special types of risk, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender.

If the HIGH INCOME FUND purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan to a corporate borrower, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The HIGH INCOME FUND may participate in such syndications, or can buy part of a loan via an assignment, becoming a part lender. When purchasing loan participations, the HIGH INCOME FUND assumes the credit risk associated with the corporate borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with an interposed bank or other financial intermediary.

A loan is often administered by an agent bank acting as agent for all holders. The agent bank administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. In addition, the agent bank is normally responsible for the collection of principal and interest payments from the corporate borrower and the apportionment of these payments to the credit of all institutions that are parties to the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the HIGH INCOME FUND has direct recourse against the corporate borrower, the fund may have to rely on the agent bank or other financial intermediary to apply appropriate credit remedies against a corporate borrower.

A financial institution's employment as agent bank might be terminated in the event that it fails to observe a requisite standard of care or becomes insolvent. A successor agent bank would generally be appointed to replace the terminated agent bank, and assets held by the agent bank under the loan agreement should remain available to holders of such indebtedness. However, if assets held by the agent bank for the benefit of the HIGH INCOME FUND were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent bank's general creditors, the fund might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on a loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. In situations involving other interposed financial institutions (e.g., an insurance company or governmental agency) similar risks may arise.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the corporate borrower for payment of principal and interest. If the HIGH INCOME FUND does not receive scheduled interest or principal payments on such indebtedness, the fund's share price and yield could be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured offer the HIGH INCOME FUND more protection than an unsecured loan in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the corporate borrower's obligation, or that the collateral can be liquidated.

The HIGH INCOME FUND may invest in loan participations with credit quality comparable to that of issuers of its securities investments (i.e., below investment grade). Indebtedness of companies whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks, and may be highly speculative. Some companies may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Consequently, when investing in indebtedness of companies with poor credit, the HIGH INCOME FUND bears a substantial risk of losing the entire amount invested.

Loans and other types of direct indebtedness may not be readily marketable and may be subject to restrictions on resale. In some cases, negotiations involved in disposing of indebtedness may require weeks to complete. Consequently, some indebtedness may be difficult or impossible to dispose of readily at what the HIGH INCOME FUND's Investment Adviser believes to be a fair price. In addition, valuation of illiquid indebtedness involves a greater degree of judgment in

10

determining the HIGH INCOME FUND's net asset value than if that value were based on available market quotations, and could result in significant variations in the fund's daily share price. At the same time, some loan interests are traded among certain financial institutions and, accordingly, may be deemed liquid. As the market for different types of indebtedness develops, the liquidity of these instruments is expected to improve. In addition, the HIGH INCOME FUND currently intends to treat indebtedness for which there is no readily available market as illiquid for purposes of the fund's limitation on illiquid investments.

Investments in loans through a direct assignment of the financial institution's interests with respect to the loan may involve additional risks to the HIGH INCOME FUND. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the HIGH INCOME FUND could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, the HIGH INCOME FUND could be held liable as co-lender. It is unclear whether loans and other forms of direct indebtedness offer securities law protections against fraud and misrepresentation.

SWAP AGREEMENTS

Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may enter into interest rate, credit default, index and currency exchange rate swap agreements for hedging purposes in attempts to obtain a particular desired return at a lower cost to the fund than if the fund had invested directly in an instrument that yielded the desired return, and to seek to increase the fund's total return. The BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and HIGH INCOME FUNDS may also enter into special interest rate swap arrangements such as caps, floors and collars for both hedging purposes and to seek to increase total return. The BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and HIGH INCOME FUNDS typically use interest rate swaps to shorten the effective duration of their portfolios.

Swap agreements are contracts entered into by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard "swap" transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with respect to a "notional amount" (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate), in a particular foreign currency, or in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index. The "notional amount" of the swap agreement is only a fictive basis on which to calculate the obligations the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. A fund's obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement are equal only to the amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party (the "net amount"). A fund's obligations under a swap agreement are accrued daily (offset against any amounts owing to the fund) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty are covered by the maintenance of a segregated assets.

Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by the funds with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, such as an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments. Credit default swaps involve a contract by the funds with another party to transfer the credit exposure of a specific commitment between the parties. Currency swaps involve the exchange by a fund with another party of their respective rights to make or receive payments in specified currencies. The purchase of an interest rate cap entitles the purchaser to receive from the seller of the cap payments of interest on a notional amount equal to the amount by which a specified index exceeds a stated interest rate. The purchase of an interest rate floor entitles the purchaser to receive from the seller of the floor payments of interest on a notional amount equal to the amount by which a specified index falls below a stated interest rate. An interest rate collar is the combination of a cap and a floor that preserves a certain return within a stated range of interest rates. Since interest rate swaps, currency swaps and interest rate caps, floors and collars are individually negotiated, the funds expect to achieve an acceptable degree of correlation between their portfolio investments and their interest rate or currency swap positions entered into for hedging purposes.

The HIGH INCOME FUND only enters into interest rate swaps on a net basis, which means 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. Interest rate swaps do not involve the delivery of securities, or underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to interest rate swaps is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the fund is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to an interest rate swap defaults, the fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of interest payments that the fund is contractually entitled to receive. In contrast, currency swaps usually involve the delivery of the entire principal value of one designated currency in exchange for the other designated currency. Therefore, the entire principal value of a currency swap is subject to the risk that the other party to the swap will default on its contractual

11

delivery obligations. The Trust maintains in a segregated account with its custodian, cash or liquid securities equal to the net amount, if any, of the excess of each fund's obligations over its entitlements with respect to swap transactions. No fund enters into swap transactions unless the unsecured commercial paper, senior debt or claims paying ability of the other party is considered investment grade by such fund's Investment Adviser.

The use of interest rate, credit default and currency swaps (including caps, floors and collars) is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with traditional portfolio securities activities. If a fund's Investment Adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of market values, interest rates and currency exchange rates, the investment performance of each of the funds, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, would be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique were not used.

In as much as swaps are entered into for good faith hedging purposes or are offset by segregated assets, no fund's Investment Adviser believes that swaps constitute senior securities as defined in the 1933 Act, and, accordingly, will not treat swaps as being subject to such fund's borrowing restrictions. An amount of cash or liquid securities having an aggregate value at least equal to the entire amount of the payment stream payable by the fund will be maintained in a segregated account by the fund's custodian. A fund will not enter into any interest rate swap (including caps, floors and collars), credit default swap or currency swap unless the credit quality of the unsecured senior debt or the claim paying ability of the other party thereto is considered to be investment grade by the fund's Investment Adviser. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid compared with the markets for other similar instruments which are traded in the interbank market. Nevertheless, the staff of the SEC takes the position that currency swaps are illiquid investments subject to the funds' 15% limitation on such investments.

FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS

Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may purchase and sell futures contracts and purchase and write options on futures contracts. These funds may purchase and sell futures contracts based on various securities (such as U.S. Government securities), securities indices, foreign currencies and other financial instruments and indices. A fund will engage in futures or related options transactions only for bona fide hedging purposes as defined below or for purposes of seeking to increase total returns to the extent permitted by regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"). All futures contracts entered into by a fund are traded on U.S. exchanges or boards of trade that are licensed and regulated by the CFTC or on foreign exchanges.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract may generally be described as an agreement between two parties to buy and sell particular financial instruments for an agreed price during a designated month (or to deliver the final cash settlement price, in the case of a contract relating to an index or otherwise not calling for physical delivery at the end of trading in the contract).

When interest rates are rising or securities prices are falling, a fund can seek through the sale of futures contracts to offset a decline in the value of its current portfolio securities. When rates are falling or prices are rising, a fund, through the purchase of futures contracts, can attempt to secure better rates or prices than might later be available in the market when it effects anticipated purchases. Similarly, a fund can sell futures contracts on a specified currency to protect against a decline in the value of such currency and its portfolio securities which are denominated in such currency. Funds can purchase futures contracts on foreign currency to fix the price in U.S. dollars of a security denominated in such currency that such fund has acquired or expects to acquire.

Positions taken in the futures markets are not normally held to maturity, but are instead liquidated through offsetting transactions which may result in a profit or a loss. While a fund's futures contracts on securities or currency will usually be liquidated in this manner, it may instead make or take delivery of the underlying securities or currency whenever it appears economically advantageous for the fund to do so. A clearing corporation (associated with the exchange on which futures on a security or currency are traded) guarantees that, if still open, the sale or purchase will be performed on the settlement date.

Hedging Strategies. Hedging by use of futures contracts seeks to establish more certainty of (than would otherwise be possible) the effective price, rate of return or currency exchange rate on securities that a fund owns or proposes to acquire.

12

A fund may, for example, take a "short" position in the futures market by selling futures contracts in order to hedge against an anticipated rise in interest rates or a decline in market prices or foreign currency rates that would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the fund's portfolio securities. Such futures contracts may include contracts for the future delivery of securities held by a fund or securities with characteristics similar to those of the fund's portfolio securities. Similarly, a fund may sell futures contracts on a currency in which its portfolio securities are denominated or in one currency to hedge against fluctuations in the value of securities denominated in a different currency if there is an established historical pattern of correlation between the two currencies.

If, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, there is a sufficient degree of correlation between price trends for a fund's portfolio securities and futures contracts based on other financial instruments, securities indices or other indices, the fund may also enter into such futures contracts as part of its hedging strategy. Although under some circumstances prices of securities in a fund's portfolio may be more or less volatile than prices of such futures contracts, the Investment Adviser will attempt to estimate the extent of this difference in volatility based on historical patterns and to compensate for it by having the fund enter into a greater or lesser number of futures contracts or by attempting to achieve only a partial hedge against price changes affecting the fund's securities portfolio. When hedging of this character is successful, any depreciation in the value of portfolio securities will substantially be offset by appreciation in the value of the futures position. On the other hand, any unanticipated appreciation in the value of the fund's portfolio securities would be substantially offset by a decline in the value of the futures position.

On other occasions, a fund may take a "long" position by purchasing such futures contracts. This would be done, for example, when a fund anticipates the subsequent purchase of particular securities when it has the necessary cash, but expects the prices or currency exchange rates then available in the applicable market to be less favorable than prices or rates that are currently available.

Options on Futures Contracts. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give a fund the right (but not the obligation) for a specified price, to sell or to purchase, respectively, the underlying futures contract at any time during the option period. As the purchaser of an option on a futures contract, a fund obtains the benefit of the futures position if prices move in a favorable direction but limits its risk of loss in the event of an unfavorable price movement to the loss of the premium and transaction costs.

The writing of a call option on a futures contract generates a premium which may partially offset a decline in the value of a fund's assets. By writing a call option, a fund becomes obligated, in exchange for the premium, to sell a futures contract which may have a value higher then the exercise price. Conversely, the writing of a put option on a futures contract generates a premium, which may partially offset an increase in the price of securities that the fund intends to purchase. However, a fund becomes obligated to purchase a futures contract, which may have a value lower than the exercise price. Thus, the loss incurred by the fund in writing options on futures is potentially unlimited and may exceed the amount of the premium received. A fund will incur transaction costs in connection with the writing of options on futures.

The holder or writer of an option on a futures contract may terminate its position by selling or purchasing an offsetting option on the same series. There is no guarantee that such closing transactions can be effected. A fund's ability to establish and close out positions on such options will be subject to the development and maintenance of a liquid market.

Other Considerations. Where permitted, a fund will engage in futures transactions and in related options transactions for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. A fund will determine that the price fluctuations in the futures contracts and options on futures used for hedging purposes are substantially related to price fluctuations in securities held by the fund or which it expects to purchase. Except as stated below, each fund's futures transactions will be entered into for traditional hedging purposes, that is to say, futures contracts will be used to protect against a decline in the price of securities (or the currency in which they are denominated) that the fund owns, or futures contracts will be purchased to protect the fund against an increase in the price of securities (or the currency in which they are denominated) it intends to purchase. As evidence of this hedging intent, each fund expects that on most of the occasions on which it takes a long futures or option position (involving the purchase of a futures contract), the fund will have purchased, or will be in the process of purchasing equivalent amounts of related securities (or assets denominated in the related currency) in the cash market at the time when the futures or option position is closed out. However, in particular cases, when it is economically advantageous for a fund to do so, a long futures position may be terminated or an option may expire without the corresponding purchase of securities or other assets.

13

The CFTC, a federal agency, regulates trading activity in futures contracts and related options contracts pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "CEA"). The CFTC requires the registration of a Commodity Pool Operator ("CPO"), which is defined as any person engaged in a business which is of the nature of an investment trust, syndicate or a similar form of enterprise, and who, in connection therewith, solicits, accepts or receives from others funds, securities or property for the purpose of trading in a commodity for future delivery on or subject to the rules of any contract market. The CFTC has adopted Rule 4.5, which provides an exclusion from the definition of commodity pool operator for any registered investment company which files a notice of eligibility. The funds, which may invest in futures transactions and related options transactions, have filed a notice of eligibility claiming exclusion from the status of CPO and, therefore, are not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO under the CEA.

As permitted, each fund will engage in transactions in futures contracts and in related options transactions only to the extent such transactions are consistent with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), for maintaining its qualification as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes (see the "Distributions and Taxes" section, below).

Transactions in futures contracts and options on futures involve brokerage costs, require margin deposits and, in the case of contracts and options obligating a fund to purchase securities or currencies, require the fund to segregate with its custodian cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the underlying value of such contracts and options.

While transactions in futures contracts and options on futures may reduce certain risks, such transactions themselves entail certain other risks. Thus, unanticipated changes in interest rates, securities prices or currency exchange rates may result in a poorer overall performance for a fund than if it had not entered into any futures contracts or options transactions. In the event of an imperfect correlation between a futures position and portfolio position which is intended to be protected, the desired protection may not be obtained and a fund may be exposed to risk of loss.

Perfect correlation between a fund's futures positions and portfolio positions may be difficult to achieve. The only futures contracts available to hedge a fund's portfolio are various futures on U.S. Government securities, securities indices and foreign currencies. In addition, it is not possible for a fund to hedge fully or perfectly against currency fluctuations affecting the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies because the value of such securities is likely to fluctuate as a result of independent factors not related to currency fluctuations.

CERTAIN BOND FUND PRACTICES

The BOND, HIGH INCOME and DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUNDS (collectively, the "bond funds") invest a significant portion of their assets in debt securities. As stated in the prospectus, the BOND and DIVERSIFIED INCOME Funds will emphasize investment grade, primarily intermediate term securities. If an investment grade security is downgraded by the rating agencies or otherwise falls below the investment quality standards stated in the prospectus, the fund's Investment Adviser will retain that instrument only if the fund's Investment Adviser believes it is in the best interest of the fund. The HIGH INCOME FUND may invest all of its assets in non-investment grade securities. See the "Lower-Rated Corporate Debt Securities" section, below, for a description of these securities and their attendant risks.

The bond funds may also make use of derivatives, including but not limited to options, futures and swaps to manage risks and returns, including the risk of fluctuating interest rates. These instruments will be used to control risk and obtain additional income and not with a view toward speculation. The BOND and DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUNDS will invest only in futures and options which are exchange-traded or sold over-the-counter. The HIGH INCOME FUND may invest in any non-U.S. futures and options.

In the debt securities market, purchases of some issues are occasionally made under firm (forward) commitment agreements. The purchase of securities under such agreements can involve risk of loss due to changes in the market rate of interest between the commitment date and the settlement date. As a matter of operating policy, no bond fund will commit itself to forward commitment agreements in an amount in excess of 25% of total assets and will not engage in such agreements for leveraging purposes. For purposes of this limitation, forward commitment agreements are defined as those agreements involving more than five business days between the commitment date and the settlement date, but do not include mortgage backed security "dollar rolls."

14

LOWER-RATED CORPORATE DEBT SECURITIES

As described in the prospectus, each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may make certain investments including corporate debt obligations that are unrated or rated in the lower rating categories (i.e., ratings of BB or lower by Standard & Poor's or Ba or lower by Moody's). Bonds rated BB or Ba or below by Standard & Poor's or Moody's (or comparable unrated securities) are commonly referred to as "lower-rated" securities or as "junk bonds" and are considered speculative and may be questionable as to principal and interest payments. In some cases, such bonds may be highly speculative, have poor prospects for reaching investment standing and be in default. As a result, investment in such bonds will entail greater speculative risks than those associated with investment in investment-grade bonds (i.e., bonds rated AAA, AA, A or BBB by Standard & Poor's or Aaa, Aa, A or Baa by Moody's).

An economic downturn could severely affect the ability of highly leveraged issuers of junk bonds to service their debt obligations or to repay their obligations upon maturity. Factors having an adverse impact on the market value of lower rated securities will have an adverse effect on a fund's NAV to the extent it invests in such securities. In addition, a fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a default in payment of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings.

The secondary market for junk bond securities, which is concentrated in relatively few market makers, may not be as liquid as the secondary market for more highly rated securities, a factor which may have an adverse effect on a fund's ability to dispose of a particular security when necessary to meet its liquidity needs. Under adverse market or economic conditions, the secondary market for junk bond securities could contract further, independent of any specific adverse changes in the condition of a particular issuer. As a result, a fund's Investment Adviser could find it more difficult to sell these securities or may be able to sell the securities only at prices lower than if such securities were widely traded. Prices realized upon the sale of such lower rated or unrated securities, under these circumstances, may be less than the prices used in calculating a fund's NAV.

Since investors generally perceive that there are greater risks associated with lower-rated debt securities, the yields and prices of such securities may tend to fluctuate more than those of higher rated securities. In the lower quality segments of the fixed-income securities market, changes in perceptions of issuers' creditworthiness tend to occur more frequently and in a more pronounced manner than do changes in higher quality segments of the fixed-income securities market resulting in greater yield and price volatility.

Another factor which causes fluctuations in the prices of fixed-income securities is the supply and demand for similarly rated securities. In addition, the prices of fixed-income securities fluctuate in response to the general level of interest rates. Fluctuations in the prices of portfolio securities subsequent to their acquisition will not affect cash income from such securities but will be reflected in a fund's NAV.

Lower-rated (and comparable non-rated) securities tend to offer higher yields than higher-rated securities with the same maturities because the historical financial condition of the issuers of such securities may not have been as strong as that of other issuers. Since lower rated securities generally involve greater risks of loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities, investors should consider carefully the relative risks associated with investment in securities which carry lower ratings and in comparable non-rated securities. In addition to the risk of default, there are the related costs of recovery on defaulted issues. A fund's Investment Adviser will attempt to reduce these risks through diversification of these funds' portfolios and by analysis of each issuer and its ability to make timely payments of income and principal, as well as broad economic trends in corporate developments.

OTHER DEBT SECURITIES

Custody Receipts. All of the funds may also acquire securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities in the form of custody receipts. Such receipts evidence ownership of future interest payments, principal payments or both on certain notes or bonds issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities. For certain securities law purposes, custody receipts are not considered obligations of the U.S. Government.

Zero Coupon, Deferred Interest, Pay-in-Kind and Capital Appreciation Bonds. The
BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME, HIGH INCOME and MID CAP GROWTH FUNDS may invest in zero coupon bonds as well as in capital appreciation bonds ("CABs"), deferred interest and pay-in-kind bonds. Zero coupon, deferred interest, pay-in-kind and CABs are debt

15

obligations which are issued at a significant discount from face value. The original discount approximates the total amount of interest the bonds will accrue and compound over the period until maturity or the first interest accrual date at a rate of interest reflecting the market rate of the security at the time of issuance.

Zero coupon bonds are debt obligations that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to maturity or provide for a specified cash payment date when the bonds begin paying current interest. As a result, zero coupon bonds are generally issued and traded at a significant discount from their face value. The discount approximates the present value amount of interest the bonds would have accrued and compounded over the period until maturity. CABs are distinct from traditional zero coupon bonds because the investment return is considered to be in the form of compounded interest rather than accreted original issue discount. For this reason, the initial principal amount of a CAB would be counted against a municipal issuer's statutory debt limit, rather than the total par value, as is the case for a traditional zero coupon bond.

Zero coupon bonds benefit the issuer by mitigating its initial need for cash to meet debt service, but generally provide a higher rate of return to compensate investors for the deferment of cash interest or principal payments. Such securities are often issued by companies that may not have the capacity to pay current interest and so may be considered to have more risk than current interest-bearing securities. In addition, the market price of zero coupon bonds generally is more volatile than the market prices of securities that provide for the periodic payment of interest. The market prices of zero coupon bonds are likely to fluctuate more in response to changes in interest rates than those of interest-bearing securities having similar maturities and credit quality.

Zero coupon bonds carry the additional risk that, unlike securities that provide for the periodic payment of interest to maturity, the fund will realize no cash until a specified future payment date unless a portion of such securities is sold. If the issuer of such securities defaults, the fund may obtain no return at all on its investment. In addition, the fund's investment in zero coupon bonds may require it to sell certain of its portfolio securities to generate sufficient cash to satisfy certain income distribution requirements.

While zero coupon bonds do not require the periodic payment of interest, deferred interest bonds generally provide for a period of delay before the regular payment of interest begins. Although this period of delay is different for each deferred interest bond, a typical period is approximately one-third of the bond's term to maturity. Pay-in-kind securities are securities that have interest payable by the delivery of additional securities. Such investments benefit the issuer by mitigating its initial need for cash to meet debt service, but some also provide a higher rate of return to attract investors who are willing to defer receipt of such cash. Such investments experience greater volatility in market value due to changes in interest rates than debt obligations which provide for regular payments of interest. A fund will accrue income on such investments for tax and accounting purposes, as required, which is distributable to shareholders and which, because no cash is received at the time of accrual, may require the liquidation of other portfolio securities to satisfy the fund's distribution obligations.

Structured Securities. The BOND, HIGH INCOME and DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUNDS may invest in structured securities. The value of the principal of and/or interest on such securities is determined by reference to changes in the value of specific currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (the "Reference") or the relative change in two or more References. The interest rate or the principal amount payable upon maturity or redemption may be increased or decreased depending upon changes in the applicable Reference. The terms of the structured securities may provide that in certain circumstances no principal is due at maturity and, therefore, may result in the loss of the fund's investment. Structured securities may be positively or negatively indexed, so that appreciation of the Reference may produce an increase or decrease in the interest rate or value of the security at maturity. In addition, changes in interest rates or the value of the security at maturity may be a multiple of changes in the value of the Reference. Consequently, structured securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of fixed-income securities. Structured securities may also be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to accurately price than less complex fixed-income investments.

FOREIGN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES

All of the funds may invest in debt obligations of foreign governments and governmental agencies, including those of countries with emerging economies and/or securities markets. Investment in sovereign debt obligations involves special risks not present in debt obligations of corporate issuers. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the funds may have limited recourse in the event of a default. Periods of economic uncertainty

16

may result in the volatility of market prices of sovereign debt, and in turn the fund's NAV, to a greater extent than the volatility inherent in debt obligations of U.S. issuers. A sovereign debtor's willingness or ability to repay principal and pay interest in a timely manner may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign currency reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole, the sovereign debtor's policy toward principal international lenders and the political constraints to which a sovereign debtor may be subject.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may each invest in convertible securities. Convertible securities may include corporate notes or preferred stock but are ordinarily a long-term debt obligation of the issuer convertible at a stated conversion rate into common stock of the issuer. As with all debt and income-bearing securities, the market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, to increase as interest rates decline. Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality. However, when the market price of the common stock underlying a convertible security exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible security tends to reflect the value of the underlying common stock. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines, the convertible security tends to trade increasingly on a yield basis, and thus may not decline in price to the same extent as the underlying common stock. Convertible securities rank senior to common stocks in an issuer's capital structure and are consequently of higher quality and entail less risk than the issuer's common stock. In evaluating a convertible security, a fund's Investment Adviser gives primary emphasis to the attractiveness of the underlying common stock. The convertible debt securities in which the HIGH INCOME FUND invests are not subject to any minimum rating criteria. The convertible debt securities in which any other fund may invest are subject to the same rating criteria as that fund's investments in non-convertible debt securities. Convertible debt securities, the market yields of which are substantially below prevailing yields on non-convertible debt securities of comparable quality and maturity, are treated as equity securities for the purposes of a fund's investment policies or restrictions.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each fund may enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a security is purchased for a relatively short period (usually not more than seven days) subject to the obligation to sell it back to the seller at a fixed time and price plus accrued interest. The funds will enter into repurchase agreements only with member banks of the Federal Reserve System, U.S. Central Credit Union and with "primary dealers" in U.S. Government securities. A fund's Investment Adviser will continuously monitor the creditworthiness of the parties with whom the funds enter into repurchase agreements.

The Trust has established a procedure providing that the securities serving as collateral for each repurchase agreement must be delivered to the Trust's custodian either physically or in book-entry form and that the collateral must be marked to market daily to ensure that each repurchase agreement is fully collateralized at all times. In the event of bankruptcy or other default by a seller of a repurchase agreement, a fund could experience delays in liquidating the underlying securities during the period in which the fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, possible subnormal levels of income, declines in value of the underlying securities or lack of access to income during this period and the expense of enforcing its rights.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each fund may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements which involve the sale of U.S. Government securities held in its portfolio to a bank with an agreement that the fund will buy back the securities at a fixed future date at a fixed price plus an agreed amount of "interest" which may be reflected in the repurchase price. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by a fund entering into them. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities purchased by a fund with proceeds of the transaction may decline below the repurchase price of the securities sold by the fund which it is obligated to repurchase. A fund that has entered into a reverse repurchase agreement will also continue to be subject to the risk of a decline in the market value of the securities sold under the agreements because it will reacquire those securities upon effecting their repurchase. To minimize various risks associated with reverse repurchase agreements, each fund will establish and maintain with the Trust's custodian a separate account consisting of liquid securities, of any type or maturity, in an amount at least equal to the repurchase prices of the securities (plus any accrued interest thereon) under such agreements. No fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements and other borrowings (except from banks as a temporary measure for extraordinary emergency purposes) in amounts in excess of 30% of the fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) taken at market value. No fund will

17

use leverage to attempt to increase income. No fund will purchase securities while outstanding borrowings exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. Each fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with federally insured banks which are approved in advance as being creditworthy by the Board. Under procedures established by the Board, a fund's Investment Adviser will monitor the creditworthiness of the banks involved.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES

Each fund may purchase U.S. Government securities. U.S. Government securities are obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities.

Certain U.S. Government securities, including U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and Government National Mortgage Association certificates ("Ginnie Maes"), are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Certain other U.S. Government securities, issued or guaranteed by Federal agencies or government sponsored enterprises, are not supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, but may be supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. These securities include obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Macs"), and obligations supported by the credit of the instrumentality, such as Federal National Mortgage Association Bonds ("Fannie Maes"). No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to such Federal agencies, authorities, instrumentalities and government sponsored enterprises in the future. U.S. Government securities may also include zero coupon bonds.

Ginnie Maes, Freddie Macs and Fannie Maes are mortgage-backed securities which provide monthly payments which are, in effect, a "pass-through" of the monthly interest and principal payments (including any prepayments) made by individual borrowers on the pooled mortgage loans. Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") in which a fund may invest are securities issued by a corporation or trust or a U.S. Government instrumentality that are collateralized by a portfolio of mortgages or mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities may be less effective than traditional debt obligations of similar maturity at maintaining yields during periods of declining interest rates (see the "Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities" section, below).

Each fund may invest in separately traded principal and interest components of securities guaranteed or issued by the U.S. Treasury if such components are traded independently under the Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities program ("STRIPS").

Each fund may acquire securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities in the form of custody receipts. Such receipts evidence ownership of future interest payments, principal payments or both on certain notes or bonds issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities. For certain securities law purposes, custody receipts are not considered obligations of the U.S. Government.

FORWARD COMMITMENT AND WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

Each fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. "When-issued" refers to securities whose terms are specified and for which a market exists, but which have not been issued. Each fund will engage in when-issued transactions with respect to securities purchased for its portfolio in order to obtain what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction. For when-issued transactions, no payment is made until delivery is due, often a month or more after the purchase. In a forward commitment transaction, a fund contracts to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time.

When a fund engages in forward commitment and when-issued transactions, it relies on the seller to consummate the transaction. The failure of the issuer or seller to consummate the transaction may result in a fund's losing the opportunity to obtain a price and yield considered to be advantageous. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis also involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date.

On the date a fund enters into an agreement to purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis, the fund will segregate cash or liquid securities, of any type or maturity, equal in value to the fund's commitment. These assets will be valued daily at market, and additional cash or securities will be segregated to the extent that the total value

18

of the assets in the account declines below the amount of the when-issued commitments. Alternatively, a fund may enter into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities that it owns.

MORTGAGE-BACKED AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES

The BOND, HIGH INCOME, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and LARGE CAP VALUE FUNDS may invest in mortgage-backed securities, which represent direct or indirect participation in, or are collateralized by and payable from, fixed rate or variable rate mortgage loans secured by real property. These funds may also invest in asset-backed securities, which represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as motor vehicle installment sales, installment loan contracts, leases of various types of real and personal property, receivables from revolving credit (i.e., credit card) agreements and other categories of receivables. Such assets are securitized though the use of trusts and special purpose corporations. Payments or distributions of principal and interest may be guaranteed up to certain amounts and for a certain time period by a letter of credit or a pool insurance policy issued by a financial institution unaffiliated with the Trust, or other credit enhancements may be present.

Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are often subject to more rapid repayment than their stated maturity date would indicate as a result of the pass-through of prepayments of principal on the underlying loans. A fund's ability to maintain positions in such securities will be affected by reductions in the principal amount of such securities resulting from prepayments, and its ability to reinvest the returns of principal at comparable yields is subject to generally prevailing interest rates at that time. To the extent that a fund invests in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, the values of its portfolio securities will vary with changes in market interest rates generally and the differentials in yields among various kinds of U.S. Government securities and other mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.

Asset-backed securities present certain additional risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because asset-backed securities generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Credit card receivables are generally unsecured and the debtors on such receivables are entitled to the protection of a number of state and federal consumer credit laws, many of which give such debtors the right to set-off certain amounts owed on the credit cards, thereby reducing the balance due. Automobile receivables generally are secured, but by automobiles (normally a depreciating asset) rather than residential real property. Most issuers of automobile receivables permit the loan servicers to retain possession of the underlying obligations. If the servicer were to sell these obligations to another party, there is a risk that the purchaser would secure an interest superior to that of the holders of the asset-backed securities. In addition, because of the large number of vehicles involved in a typical issuance and technical requirements under state laws, the trustee for the holders of the automobile receivables may not have a proper security interest in the underlying automobiles. Therefore, there is the possibility that, in some cases, recoveries on repossessed collateral may not be available to support payments on these securities.

The BOND FUND may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities that represent mortgage, commercial or consumer loans originated by financial institutions. To the extent permitted by law and available in the market, such investments may constitute a significant portion of such fund's investments. Subject to the appropriate regulatory approvals, the BOND FUND may purchase securities issued by pools that are structured, serviced, or otherwise supported by MCA or its affiliates.

OTHER SECURITIES RELATED TO MORTGAGES

Mortgage Pass-Through Securities. The BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and HIGH INCOME FUNDS may invest in mortgage pass-through securities. Mortgage pass-through securities are securities representing interests in "pools" of mortgage loans. Monthly payments of interest and principal by the individual borrowers on mortgages are passed through to the holders of the securities (net of fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities) as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid off. The average lives of mortgage pass-through securities are variable when issued because their average lives depend on prepayment rates. The average life of these securities is likely to be substantially shorter than their stated final maturity as a result of unscheduled principal prepayments. Prepayments on underlying mortgages result in a loss of anticipated interest, and all or part of a premium if any has been paid, and the actual yield (or total return) to the holder of a pass-through security may be different than the quoted yield on such security. Mortgage prepayments generally increase with falling interest rates and decrease with rising interest rates. Like other fixed income securities, when interest rates rise the value of a mortgage pass-though security generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage pass-through securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as that of other fixed income securities.

19

Interests in pools of mortgage-related securities differ from other forms of debt securities, which normally provide for periodic payment of interest in fixed amounts with principal payments at maturity or specified call dates. Instead, these securities provide a monthly payment which consists of both interest and principal payments. In effect, these payments are a "pass-through" of the monthly payments made by the individual borrowers on their mortgage loans, net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of such securities. Additional payments are caused by prepayments of principal resulting from the sale, refinancing or foreclosure of the underlying property, net of fees or costs which may be incurred. Some mortgage pass-through securities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA")), are described as "modified pass-through." These securities entitle the holder to receive all interests and principal payments owned on the mortgages in the mortgage pool, net of certain fees, at the scheduled payment dates regardless of whether the mortgagor actually makes the payment.

The principal governmental guarantor of mortgage pass-through securities is GNMA. GNMA is a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. GNMA is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA (such as savings and loan institutions, commercial banks and mortgage bankers) and backed by pools of Federal Housing Administration-insured or Veteran's Administration (VA)-guaranteed mortgages. These guarantees, however, do not apply to the market value or yield of mortgage pass-through securities. GNMA securities are often purchased at a premium over the maturity value of the underlying mortgages. This premium is not guaranteed and will be lost if prepayment occurs.

Government-related guarantors (i.e., whose guarantees are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). FNMA is a government-sponsored corporation owned entirely by private stockholders. It is subject to general regulation by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. FNMA purchases conventional residential mortgages (i.e., mortgages not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency) from a list of approved seller/servicers which include state and federally-chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers. Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment by FNMA of principal and interest.

FHLMC was created by Congress in 1970 as a corporate instrumentality of the U.S. Government for the purpose of increasing the availability of mortgage credit for residential housing. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates ("PCs") which represent interest in conventional mortgages (i.e., not federally insured or guaranteed) from FHLMC's national portfolio. FHLMC guarantees timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal regardless of the status of the underlying mortgage loans.

Credit unions, commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers also create pass-through pools of mortgage loans. Such issuers may also be the originators and/or servicers of the underlying mortgage-related securities. Pools created by such non-governmental issuers generally offer a higher rate of interest than government and government-related pools because there are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in the former pools. However, timely payment of interest and principal of mortgage loans in these pools may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance and letters of credit. The insurance and guarantees are issued by governmental entities, private insurers and the mortgage poolers. There can be no assurance that the private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. The HIGH INCOME FUND may also buy mortgage-related securities without insurance or guarantees.

CMOs and Multiclass Pass-Through Securities. The BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and HIGH INCOME FUNDS may invest a portion of their assets in CMOs, which are debt obligations collateralized by mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. The following is a description of CMOs and types of CMOs but is not intended to be an exhaustive or exclusive list of each type of CMO a fund may invest in. Typically, CMOs are collateralized by certificates issued by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC, but also may be collateralized by whole loans or private mortgage pass-through securities (such collateral collectively hereinafter referred to as "Mortgage Assets"). The BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and HIGH INCOME FUNDS may also invest a portion of their assets in multiclass pass-through securities which are equity interests in a trust composed of Mortgage Assets. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to CMOs include multiclass pass-through securities. Payments of principal of and interest on the Mortgage Assets, and any reinvestment income thereon, provide the funds to pay debt service on the CMOs or make scheduled distributions on the multiclass pass-through securities. CMOs may be issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the United States government or by

20

private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans, including credit unions, savings and loan associations, mortgage banks, commercial banks, investment banks and special purpose subsidiaries of the foregoing. The issuer of a series of CMOs may elect to be treated as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit ("REMIC").

In a CMO, a series of bonds or certificates are usually issued in multiple classes with different maturities. Each class of CMOs, often referred to as a "tranche," is issued at a specific fixed or floating coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution date. Principal prepayments on the Mortgage Assets may cause the CMOs to be retired substantially earlier than their stated maturities or final distribution dates, resulting in a loss of all or a part of the premium if any has been paid. Interest is paid or accrues on all classes of the CMOs on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis. The principal of and interest on the Mortgage Assets may be allocated among the several classes of a series of a CMO in innumerable ways. In a common structure, payments of principal, including any principal pre-payments, on the Mortgage Assets are applied to the classes of the series of a CMO in the order of their respective stated maturities or final distribution dates, so that no payment of principal will be made on any class of CMOs until all other classes having an earlier stated maturity or final distribution date have been paid in full. Certain CMOs may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest factor of the underlying security). See the "-Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities" subsection, below, for a discussion of the risks of investing in these stripped securities and of investing in classes consisting primarily of interest payments or principal payments.

The BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and HIGH INCOME FUNDS may also invest in parallel pay CMOs and Planned Amortization Class CMOs ("PAC Bonds"). Parallel pay CMOs are structured to provide payments of principal on each payment date to more than one class. These simultaneous payments are taken into account in calculating the stated maturity date or final distribution date of each class, which, as with other CMO structures, must be retired by its stated maturity date or final distribution date, but may be retired earlier. PAC Bonds generally require payments of a specified amount of principal on each payment date. PAC Bonds are always parallel pay CMOs with the required principal payment on such securities having the highest priority after interest has been paid to all classes.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities. The BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and HIGH INCOME FUNDS may invest a portion of its assets in stripped mortgage-backed securities ("SMBS") which are derivative multiclass mortgage securities issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government or by private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans, including savings and loan associations, mortgage banks, commercial banks and investment banks.

SMBS are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions from a pool of Mortgage Assets. A common type of SMBS will have one class receiving some of the interest and most of the principal from the Mortgage Assets, while another class receives most of the interest and the remainder of the principal. In the most extreme case, one class will receive an "IO" (the right to receive all of the interest) while the other class will receive a "PO" (the right to receive all of the principal). The yield to maturity on an IO is extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying Mortgage Assets, and a rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on such security's yield to maturity. If the underlying Mortgage Assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and HIGH INCOME FUNDS may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities. The market value of the class consisting primarily or entirely of principal payments generally is unusually volatile in response to changes in interest rates.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The BOND, DIVERSIFIED INCOME and HIGH INCOME FUNDS may enter into mortgage "dollar rolls" in which the fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, a fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on the securities sold. However, a fund would benefit to the extent of any difference between the price received for the securities sold and the lower forward price for the future purchase as well as from the receipt of any associated fee income plus interest earned on cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date for the forward purchase. Unless such benefits exceed the income, capital appreciation and gain or loss due to mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique will diminish the investment performance of a fund. Successful use of mortgage dollar rolls depends upon the Investment Adviser's ability to predict correctly interest rates and mortgage prepayments. There is no assurance that mortgage dollar rolls can be successfully employed. A fund will hold and maintain until the settlement date segregated cash or liquid assets in an amount equal to the forward purchase price. For financial reporting and tax purposes, each fund treats mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions; one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. These funds do not currently intend to enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as a financing.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS

Each fund, except the CASH RESERVES FUND, may invest in shares of real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests. REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive income from the collection of interest payments. REITs are not taxed on income distributed to shareholders provided they comply with several requirements of the Code. A fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any expenses paid by REITs in which it invests in addition to the expenses paid by a fund.

Investing in REITs involves certain unique risks. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by such REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. REITs are dependent upon management skills, are not diversified (except to the extent the Code requires), and are subject to the risks inherent in the financing projects. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibilities of failing to qualify for the exemption from tax for distributed income under the Code and failing to maintain their exemptions from the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). REITs (especially mortgage REITS) are also subject to interest rate risk.

EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS

Each fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), which are shares of publicly-traded unit investment trusts, open-end funds, or depositary receipts that seek to track the performance and dividend yield of specific indexes or companies in related industries. These indexes may be either broad-based, sector or international. ETF shareholders are generally subject to the same risks as holders of the underlying securities they are designed to track.

ETFs are also subject to certain additional risks, including (1) the risk that their prices may not correlate perfectly with changes in the prices of the underlying securities they are designed to track and (2) the risk of possible trading halts due to market conditions or other reasons, based on the policies of the exchange upon which an ETF trades. In addition, an exchange traded sector fund may be adversely affected by the performance of that specific sector or group of industries on which it is based. The fund would bear, along with other shareholders of an ETF, its pro rata portion of the ETF's expenses, including management fees. Accordingly, in addition to bearing their proportionate share of the fund's expenses (i.e., management fees and operating expenses), shareholders of the fund may also indirectly bear similar expenses of an ETF.

SHARES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

Each fund, other than the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, may invest up to 10% of its assets in shares of other investment companies. Each fund, other than the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, complies with the general statutory limits for such investments prescribed by the 1940 Act. The statutory limits are that immediately after any investment: (a) not more than 5% of a fund's total assets are invested in the securities of any one investment company; (b) not more than 10% of a fund's total assets are invested in the aggregate in securities of investment companies as a group; (c) not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company will be owned by the fund; and (d) not more than 10% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company will be owned in the aggregate by the fund and other investment companies advised by MCA, or any of its affiliates.

The Trust and MCA have obtained an order from the SEC to permit the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS to invest in underlying funds in amounts in excess of the statutory limits described above. The TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS may invest up to 100% of their assets in shares of other investment companies and will invest substantially all of their assets in shares of both affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies.

As a shareowner of another investment company, a fund would bear, along with other shareowners, its pro rata portion of the expenses of such other investment company, including advisory fees, general fund expenses, trading, custodial and interest expenses and distribution/shareholder servicing fees (if any). These expenses would be in addition to the advisory and other expenses that a fund bears directly in connection with its own operations and may represent a duplication of fees to shareowners of the fund.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

Although each fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, each fund may invest up to 100% in money market securities as a defensive tactic in abnormal market conditions.

TYPES OF INVESTMENT RISK

Active or Frequent Trading Risk. The risk of the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains as compared to a series with less active trading policies. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs, which could detract from the performance.

Asset Allocation Risk. The risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.

Call Risk. The risk that the issuer of a security will retire or redeem ("call") the security with a higher rate of interest before the scheduled maturity date when interest rates have declined.

Correlation Risk. The risk that changes in the value of a hedging instrument or hedging technique will not match those of the asset being hedged (hedging is the use of one investment to offset the possible adverse effects of another investment).

Credit Risk. The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or otherwise not honor a financial obligation.

Currency Risk. The risk that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect the U.S. dollar value of an investment.

Extension Risk. The risk that an unexpected rise in prevailing interest rates will extend the life of an outstanding mortgage-backed security by reducing the expected number of mortgage prepayments, typically reducing the security's value.

Hedging Risk. When a fund hedges an asset it holds (typically by using a derivative contract or derivative security), any gain or loss generated by the hedge should be substantially offset by losses or gains on the hedged asset. Hedging is a useful way to reduce or eliminate risk of loss, but it will also reduce or eliminate the potential for investment gains.

Information Risk. The risk that key information about a security or market is inaccurate or unavailable.

Interest Rate Risk. The risk of declines in market value of an income bearing investment due to changes in prevailing interest rates. With fixed-rate securities, a rise in interest rates typically causes a decline in market values, while a fall in interest rates typically causes an increase in market values.

Leverage Risk. The risks associated with securities or investment practices that enhance return (or loss) without increasing the amount of investment, such as buying securities on margin or using certain derivative contracts or derivative securities. A fund's gain or loss on a leveraged position may be greater than the actual market gain or loss in the underlying security or instrument. A fund may also incur additional costs in taking a leveraged position (such as interest on borrowings) that may not be incurred in taking a non-leveraged position.

Liquidity Risk. The risk that certain securities or other investments may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time the fund would like to sell them or at the price the fund values them.

Management Risk. The risk that a strategy used by a fund's Investment Adviser may fail to produce the intended result. This risk is common to all mutual funds.

Market Risk. The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to factors that have nothing to do with the issuer. This risk is common to all stocks and bonds and the mutual funds that invest in them.

23

Natural Event Risk. The risk of losses attributable to natural disasters, crop failures and similar events.

Opportunity Risk. The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are committed to less advantageous investments.

Political Risk. The risk of losses directly attributable to government actions or political events of any sort, including military actions and/or expropriation of assets.

Prepayment Risk. The risk that an unexpected fall in prevailing interest rates will shorten the life of an outstanding mortgage-backed security by increasing the expected number of mortgage prepayments, thereby reducing the security's return.

Speculation Risk. Speculation is the assumption of risk in anticipation of gain but recognizing a higher than average possibility of loss. To the extent that a derivative contract or derivative security is used speculatively (i.e., not used as a hedge), a fund is directly exposed to the risks of that derivative contract or security. Gains or losses from speculative positions in a derivative contract or security may be substantially greater than the derivative contract or security's original cost.

Valuation Risk. The risk that a fund could not sell a security or other portfolio investment for the market value or fair value established for it at any time. Similarly, the risk that the fair valuation of securities or other portfolio investments may result in greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if the market values were available.

LEGEND

* One asterisk means that there is no policy limitation on the fund's usage of that practice or type of security, and that the fund may be currently using that practice or investing in that type of security.

** Two asterisks mean that the fund is permitted to use that practice or invest in that type of security, but is not expected to do so on a regular basis.

*** Excluding government sponsored agency paper.

X An "X" mark means that the fund is not permitted to use that practice or invest in that type of security.

FUND NAMES

In the judgment of MCA, the BOND, HIGH INCOME, MID CAP VALUE, MID CAP GROWTH, LARGE CAP VALUE, LARGE CAP GROWTH, SMALL CAP VALUE, SMALL CAP GROWTH and INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUNDS have names that suggest a focus on a particular industry, group of industries or type of investment. In accordance with the provisions of Rule 35d-1 of the 1940 Act, each of these funds will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of its assets in the particular industry, group of industries, or type of investment of the type suggested by its name. For this purpose, "assets" means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. In addition, in appropriate circumstances, synthetic investments may be included in the 80% basket if they have economic characteristics similar to the other investments included in the basket. A fund's policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in such a manner is not a "fundamental" one, which means that it may be changed without the vote of a majority of the fund's outstanding shares as defined in the 1940 Act. The names of these funds may be changed at any time by a vote of the Board. As required by Rule 35d-1, shareholders of funds subject to Rule 35d-1 will receive a 60-day written notice of any change to the investment policy describing the type of investment that the name suggests.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The Trust has adopted the following restrictions and policies relating to the investment of assets and the activities of each fund. The policies in this "Investment Limitations" section are fundamental and may not be changed for a fund without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding votes of that fund (which for this purpose and under the 1940 Act means the lesser of
(i) sixty-seven percent (67%) of the outstanding votes attributable to shares represented at a meeting at which more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding votes attributable to shares are represented or (ii) more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding votes attributable to shares). Except as noted below, none of the funds within the Trust may:

(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase securities of an issuer (other than the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities), if (i) such purchase would cause more than 5% of the fund's total assets taken at market value to be invested in the securities of such issuer or
(ii) such purchase would at the time result in more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer being held by the fund;

(2) invest 25% or more of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry (excluding the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities), except that each TARGET ALLOCATION FUND may invest more than 25% of its assets in any one underlying affiliated fund;

(3) borrow money, except (a) the fund may borrow from banks (as defined in the 1940 Act) and through reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to 30% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), (b) the fund may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes, (c) the fund may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities, (d) the fund may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law and (e) the fund may engage in transactions in mortgage dollar rolls which are accounted for as financings;

26

(4) make loans, except through (a) the purchase of debt obligations in accordance with the fund's investment objective and policies, (b) repurchase agreements with banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions, and (c) loans of securities as permitted by applicable law;

(5) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the sale of portfolio securities by the fund may be deemed to be an underwriting;

(6) purchase, hold or deal in real estate, although a fund may purchase and sell securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein, securities of real estate investment trusts and mortgage-related securities and may hold and sell real estate acquired by a fund as a result of the ownership of securities;

(7) invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except that the fund may invest in currency, and financial instruments and contracts that are commodities or commodity contracts; or

(8) issue senior securities to the extent such issuance would violate applicable law.

The following restrictions are not fundamental policies and may be changed without the approval of the shareholders in the affected fund. No fund will:

(1) sell securities short or maintain a short position except for short sales against the box; or

(2) invest in foreign securities in excess of the following percentages of the value of its total assets:

CASH RESERVES FUND          25% (limited to U.S. dollar denominated foreign
                                 money market securities)
BOND FUND                   25%
HIGH INCOME FUND            50%
DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND     25%
LARGE CAP VALUE FUND        25%
LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND       25%
MID CAP VALUE FUND          25%
MID CAP GROWTH FUND         25%
SMALL CAP VALUE FUND        20%
SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND       20%
INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND   100%

(3) purchase any security which is not readily marketable if more than 15% (10% for the CASH RESERVES FUND) of the net assets of the fund taken at market value, would be invested in such securities.

Except for the limitations on borrowing from banks, if the above percentage restrictions, or any restrictions elsewhere in this SAI or in the prospectus covering fund shares, are adhered to at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from a change in values of securities or amount of net assets will not be considered a violation of any of the foregoing restrictions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing investment limitations, the underlying funds in which the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS may invest have adopted certain investment restrictions that may be more or less restrictive than those listed above, thereby permitting a TARGET ALLOCATION FUND to engage indirectly in investment strategies that may be prohibited under the investment limitations listed above. The investment restrictions of each underlying fund are set forth in the prospectus and SAI for that underlying fund.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

While the CASH RESERVES FUND is not subject to specific restrictions on portfolio turnover, it generally does not seek profits by short-term trading. However, it may dispose of a portfolio security prior to its maturity where disposition seems advisable because of a revised credit evaluation of the issuer or other considerations.

Each fund will trade securities held by it whenever, in the Investment Adviser's view, changes are appropriate to achieve the stated investment objectives. Other than the DIVERSIFIED INCOME and MID CAP GROWTH FUNDS, the Investment Adviser does not anticipate that unusual portfolio turnover will be required and intends to keep such turnover to moderate levels consistent with the objectives of each fund. Although the Investment Adviser makes no assurances, it is expected that the annual portfolio turnover rate for each fund (other than the DIVERSIFIED INCOME and MID CAP GROWTH FUNDS) will be generally less than 100%. This would mean that normally less than 100% of the securities held by the fund would be replaced in any one year.

MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST

The Trust is governed by the Board. The Board has the duties and responsibilities set forth under the applicable laws of the State of Delaware, including but not limited to the management and supervision of the funds.

The Board, from time to time, may include individuals who may be deemed to be affiliated persons of MCA, the funds' investment adviser. At all times, however, a majority of Board members will not be affiliated with MCA or the funds.

The funds do not hold annual shareholder meetings, but may hold special meetings for such purposes as electing or removing Board members, changing fundamental policies, approving certain management contracts, approving or amending a 12b-1 plan, or as otherwise required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust.

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

Each trustee and officer of the Trust oversees 32 portfolios in the fund complex, which consists of the Trust with 14 portfolios and the Ultra Series Fund with 18 portfolios (the "Fund Complex"). The address of each trustee and officer is 5910 Mineral Point Road, Madison, WI 53705.

THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH SUBADVISERS

As described in the prospectus, MCA manages the assets of the HIGH INCOME, MID CAP VALUE, MID CAP GROWTH, SMALL CAP VALUE, SMALL CAP GROWTH and INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUNDS using a "manager of managers" approach under which MCA allocates some or all of the fund's assets among one or more "specialist" subadvisers (each, a "Subadviser"). The Trust and MCA have received an order from the SEC that permits the hiring of Subadvisers without shareholder approval. If MCA hires a new Subadviser pursuant to the order, shareholders will receive an "information statement" within 90 days of a change in Subadvisers that will provide relevant information about the reason for the change and any new Subadviser(s).

Even though Subadvisers have day-to-day responsibility over the management of the HIGH INCOME, MID CAP GROWTH, SMALL CAP VALUE, SMALL CAP GROWTH, INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUNDS, and the small-cap portion of the assets of the MID CAP VALUE FUND, MCA retains the ultimate responsibility for the performance of these funds and will oversee the Subadvisers and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement.

MCA may, at some future time, employ a subadvisory or "manager of managers" approach to other new or existing funds in addition to the HIGH INCOME, MID CAP VALUE, MID CAP GROWTH, SMALL CAP VALUE, SMALL CAP GROWTH and INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUNDS.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

MEMBERS CAPITAL ADVISORS, INC.

Compensation: Portfolio manager compensation at MCA consists of a base amount, an annual incentive award and potentially a long-term incentive award (plus various benefits). The annual award is based primarily on the one-year and three-year performance relative to representative markets and peer groups of the specific portfolios or portions of portfolios for which the portfolio managers are responsible. Other factors in the annual award are the overall investment results of MCA for all major clients, and the financial results of MCA and its parent company, CUNA Mutual Insurance Society. The long-term incentive award is based on the overall investment results of MCA for all major clients, and is deferred for three years, during which time it is valued as if it were invested among any of several MCA-managed funds as directed by the portfolio manager.

SHENKMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.

Compensation: SCM offers a highly competitive total compensation package. All team members receive a complete benefits package, base salary, and an annual bonus predicated on individual and firm performance. The percentage of compensation from salary and bonus varies by a team member's merit. Typically, a bonus is a larger percentage of annual compensation for team members that have made contributions to the firm and achieved a long tenure with the firm.

Portfolio managers represent the majority of the firm's senior management. Their compensation is not formally tied to a specific list of criteria. They are compensated based on their ability to implement the firm's investment strategy, their ability to effectively perform their respective managerial functions, the overall investment performance of the firm, as well as the firm's growth and profitability. All of the senior portfolio managers are owners of the firm.

Material Conflicts of Interest: As a general matter, SCM attempts to minimize conflicts of interest. To that end, SCM has implemented policies and procedures for the identification of conflicts of interest, a full copy of which is set forth in

37

the firm's compliance manual. In accordance with this policy, SCM has identified certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with its management of the HIGH INCOME FUND.

A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of SCM's management of other accounts with varying investment guidelines. SCM adheres to a systematic process for the approval, allocation and execution of trades. It is SCM's basic policy that investment opportunities be allocated among client accounts with similar investment objectives fairly over time while attempting to maintain minimum dispersion of returns. Because of the differences in client investment objectives and strategies, risk tolerances, tax status and other criteria, there may, however, be differences among clients in invested positions and securities held. Moreover, SCM may purchase a security for one client account while appropriately selling that same security for another client account. Certain accounts managed by SCM may also be permitted to sell securities short. Accordingly, SCM and its employees may take short positions in equity securities of certain issuers for their own account or for the account of any other client at the same time the debt securities, convertible securities or bank loans of such issuers are held long in client accounts. When SCM or its employees engages in short sales of securities they could be seen as harming the performance of one or more clients, including the HIGH INCOME FUND, for the benefit of the account engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall. Conversely, SCM and its employees may take long positions in equity securities of certain issuers for their own account or for the account of any other client at the same time the debt securities, convertible securities or bank loans of such issuers are sold out of client accounts. SCM also acts as investment manager to companies that have, or may in the future have, non-investment grade securities outstanding. SCM may purchase these securities for its client accounts, including for the HIGH INCOME FUND. Additionally, SCM is not precluded from investing in securities of a company held in some of its client accounts in which such other of its clients have senior or subordinated rights relative to the other, or vice versa.

SCM permits its team members to trade securities for their own accounts. Investment personnel, through their position with the firm, are in a position to take investment opportunities for themselves before such opportunities are executed on behalf of clients. Thus, SCM has an obligation to assure that its team members do not "front-run" trades for clients or otherwise favor their own accounts. To that end, SCM maintains a personal trading policy that includes pre-clearance procedures that require team members to pre-clear trades in securities of non-investment grade rated companies as well as shares of mutual funds for which SCM acts as subadviser.

SCM is entitled to receive performance fees from certain client accounts. The existence of those fees may incentivize the portfolio managers to disproportionately allocate investment opportunities to these accounts. SCM maintains an allocation policy and the firm's chief compliance officer periodically reviews dispersion among the accounts and allocations to ensure that they are being allocated among all eligible accounts in an equitable manner.

SCM may execute transactions between or among client accounts (including rebalancing trades between client accounts) by executing simultaneous purchase and sale orders for the same security. Even in situations where SCM believes there is no disadvantage to its clients, these "cross trade" transactions may nonetheless create an inherent conflict of interest because SCM has a duty to obtain a price equitable for both the selling client and the purchasing client. When engaging in cross transactions, SCM ensures that all parties to the transaction receive at least as favorable a price as would be received if the transaction were executed on the open market.

Fund Ownership: As of October 31, 2007, Mark R. Shenkman, Frank Z. Whitley and Mark J. Flanagan did not own equity securities in the funds or Fund Complex. The Fund Complex includes the Trust and the Ultra Series Fund with 18 portfolios.

WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLP

Compensation. MCA pays Wellington Management a fee based on the assets of the Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, and Small Cap Value Funds (the "Funds") managed by Wellington Management, as set forth in the Subadvisory Agreements between Wellington Management and MCA. Wellington Management pays its investment professionals out of its total revenues and other resources, including the advisory fees earned with respect to the Funds. The following information relates to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.

Wellington Management's compensation structure is designed to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals necessary to deliver high quality investment management services to its clients. Wellington Management's compensation of the investment professionals listed in the prospectus who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds ("Investment Professionals") includes a base salary and incentive components. The base salaries for Messrs.

38

Boggan and O'Brien, both partners of Wellington Management, are determined by the managing partners of the firm. A partner's base salary is generally a fixed amount that may change as a result of an annual review. The base salaries for the other Investment Professionals are determined by the Investment Professional's experience and performance in their roles as Investment Professionals. Base salaries for Wellington Management's employees are reviewed annually and may be adjusted based on the recommendation of the Investment Professional's business manager, using guidelines established by Wellington Management's compensation committee, which has final oversight responsibility for base salaries of employees of the firm. Each Investment Professional is eligible to receive an incentive payment based on the revenues earned by Wellington Management from the Fund managed by the Investment Professional and generally each other account managed by such Investment Professional. Each equity Investment Professional's incentive payment relating to the Funds is linked to the gross pre-tax performance of the portion of the Funds managed by the Investment Professional compared to the benchmark index and/or peer group identified below over one and three year periods, with an emphasis on three year results. Wellington Management applies similar incentive compensation structures (although the benchmarks or peer groups, time periods and rates may differ) to other accounts managed by the Investment Professionals, including accounts with performance fees. Portfolio-based incentives across all accounts managed by an Investment Professional can, and typically do, represent a significant portion of an Investment Professional's overall compensation; incentive compensation varies significantly by individual and can vary significantly from year to year. The Investment Professionals may also be eligible for bonus payments based on their overall contribution to Wellington Management's business operations. Senior management at Wellington Management may reward individuals as it deems appropriate based on factors other than portfolio performance. Each partner of Wellington Management is eligible to participate in a partner-funded, tax qualified retirement plan, the contributions to which are made pursuant to an actuarial formula, as a partner of the firm.

Material Conflicts of Interest: Individual Investment Professionals at Wellington Management manage multiple accounts for multiple clients. These accounts may include mutual funds, separate accounts (assets managed on behalf of institutions, such as pension funds, insurance companies, foundations, or separately managed account programs sponsored by financial intermediaries), bank common trust accounts, and hedge funds. The Funds' Investment Professionals generally manage accounts in several different investment styles. These accounts may have investment objectives, strategies, time horizons, tax considerations and risk profiles that differ from those of the Funds. The Investment Professionals make investment decisions for each account, including the Funds, based on the investment objectives, policies, practices, benchmarks, cash flows, tax and other relevant investment considerations applicable to that account. Consequently, the Investment Professionals may purchase or sell securities, including IPOs, for one account and not another account, and the performance of securities purchased for one account may vary from the performance of securities purchased for other accounts. Alternatively, these accounts may be managed in a similar fashion to the Funds and thus the accounts may have similar, and in some cases nearly identical, objectives, strategies and/or holdings to that of the Funds.

An Investment Professional or other investment professionals at Wellington Management may place transactions on behalf of other accounts that are directly or indirectly contrary to investment decisions made on behalf of the Funds, or make investment decisions that are similar to those made for the Funds, both of which have the potential to adversely impact the Funds depending on market conditions. For example, an Investment Professional may purchase a security in one account while appropriately selling that same security in another account. Similarly, an Investment Professional may purchase the same security for the Funds and one or more other accounts at or about the same time, and in those instances the other accounts will have access to their respective holdings prior to the public disclosure of the Funds' holdings. In addition, some of these accounts have fee structures, including performance fees, which are or have the potential to be higher, in some cases significantly higher, than the fees paid by the Funds to Wellington Management. Because incentive payments paid by Wellington Management to the Investment Professionals are tied to revenues earned by Wellington Management, and, where noted, to the performance achieved by the manager in each account, the incentives associated with any given account may be significantly higher or lower than those associated with other accounts managed by a given Investment Professional. Finally, the Investment Professionals may hold shares or investments in the other pooled investment vehicles and/or other accounts identified above.

Wellington Management's goal is to meet its fiduciary obligation to treat all clients fairly and provide high quality investment services to all of its clients. Wellington Management has adopted and implemented policies and procedures,

40

including brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures, which it believes address the conflicts associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients. In addition, Wellington Management monitors a variety of areas, including compliance with primary account guidelines, the allocation of IPOs, and compliance with the firm's Code of Ethics, and places additional investment restrictions on Investment Professionals who manage hedge funds and certain other accounts. Furthermore, senior investment and business personnel at Wellington Management periodically review the performance of Wellington Management's Investment Professionals. Although Wellington Management does not track the time an Investment Professional spends on a single account, Wellington Management does periodically assess whether an Investment Professional has adequate time and resources to effectively manage the Investment Professional's various client mandates.

LAZARD ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC

Compensation: Lazard's portfolio managers are generally responsible for managing multiple types of accounts that may, or may not, have similar investment objectives, strategies, risks and fees to those managed on behalf of the INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND. Portfolio managers responsible for managing the fund may also manage sub-advised registered investment companies, collective investment trusts, unregistered funds and/or other pooled investment vehicles, separate accounts, separately managed account programs (often referred to as "wrap accounts") and model portfolios.

Lazard compensates portfolio managers by a competitive salary and bonus structure, which is determined both quantitatively and qualitatively. Salary and bonus are paid in cash. Portfolio managers are compensated on the performance of the aggregate group of portfolios managed by them rather than for a specific fund or account. Various factors are considered in the determination of a portfolio manager's compensation. All of the portfolios managed by a portfolio manager are comprehensively evaluated to determine his or her positive and consistent performance contribution over time. Further factors include the amount of assets in the portfolios as well as qualitative aspects that reinforce Lazard's investment philosophy such as leadership, teamwork and commitment.

Total compensation is not fixed, but rather is based on the following factors:
(i) maintenance of current knowledge and opinions on companies owned in the portfolio; (ii) generation and development of new investment ideas, including the quality of security analysis and identification of appreciation catalysts;
(iii) ability and willingness to develop and share ideas on a team basis; and
(iv) the performance results of the portfolios managed by the investment team.

Variable bonus is based on the portfolio manager's quantitative performance as measured by his or her ability to make investment decisions that contribute to the pre-tax absolute and relative returns of the accounts managed by them, by comparison of each account to a predetermined benchmark (as set forth in the prospectus) over the current fiscal year and the longer-term performance (3-, 5- or 10-year, if applicable) of such account, as well as performance of the account relative to peers. In addition, the portfolio manager's bonus can be influenced by subjective measurement of the manager's ability to help others make investment decisions.

Portfolio managers also have an interest in the Lazard Asset Management LLC Equity Plan, an equity based incentive program for Lazard. The plan offers permanent equity in Lazard to a significant number of its professionals, including

42

portfolio managers, as determined by the board of directors of Lazard, from time to time. This plan gives certain Lazard employees a permanent equity interest in Lazard and an opportunity to participate in the future growth of Lazard.

Material Conflicts of Interest: Although the potential for conflicts of interest exist when an investment adviser and portfolio managers manage other accounts with similar investment objectives and strategies as the fund ("Similar Accounts"), Lazard has procedures in place that are designed to ensure that all accounts are treated fairly and that the fund is not disadvantaged, including procedures regarding trade allocations and "conflicting trades" (e.g., long and short positions in the same security, as described below). In addition, the fund, as a registered investment company, is subject to different regulations than certain of the Similar Accounts, and, consequently, may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions, or to engage in such techniques or transactions to the same degree, as the Similar Accounts.

Potential conflicts of interest may arise because of Lazard's management of the fund and Similar Accounts. For example, conflicts of interest may arise with both the aggregation and allocation of securities transactions and allocation of limited investment opportunities, as Lazard may be perceived as causing accounts it manages to participate in an offering to increase Lazard's overall allocation of securities in that offering, or to increase Lazard's ability to participate in future offerings by the same underwriter or issuer. Allocations of bunched trades, particularly trade orders that were only partially filled due to limited availability and allocation of investment opportunities generally, could raise a potential conflict of interest, as Lazard may have an incentive to allocate securities that are expected to increase in value to preferred accounts. Initial public offerings, in particular, are frequently of very limited availability. Additionally, portfolio managers may be perceived to have a conflict of interest because of the large number of Similar Accounts, in addition to the fund, that they are managing on behalf of Lazard. Although Lazard does not track each individual portfolio manager's time dedicated to each account, Lazard periodically reviews each portfolio manager's overall responsibilities to ensure that they are able to allocate the necessary time and resources to effectively manage the fund. In addition, Lazard could be viewed as having a conflict of interest to the extent that Lazard and/or portfolios managers have a materially larger investment in a Similar Account than their investment in the fund.

A potential conflict of interest may be perceived to arise if transactions in one account closely follow related transactions in a different account, such as when a purchase increases the value of securities previously purchased by the other account, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price received in a sale by a second account. Lazard manages hedge funds that are subject to performance/incentive fees. Certain hedge funds managed by Lazard may also be permitted to sell securities short. When Lazard engages in short sales of securities of the type in which the fund invests, Lazard could be seen as harming the performance of the fund for the benefit of the account engaging in short sales if the

44

short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall. As described above, Lazard has procedures in place to address these conflicts. Additionally, Lazard currently does not have any portfolio managers that manage both hedge funds that engage in short sales and long-only accounts, including open-end and closed-end registered investment companies.

The preceding chart includes information regarding the members of the portfolio management team responsible for managing the fund. Specifically, it shows the number of other portfolios and assets (as of the most recent fiscal year end) managed by each team member. As noted in the chart, the portfolio managers managing the fund may also individually be members of management teams that are responsible for managing Similar Accounts. A significant proportion of these Similar Accounts may be within separately managed account programs, where the third party program sponsor is responsible for applying specific client objectives, guidelines and limitations against the model portfolio managed by the portfolio management team. Regardless of the number of accounts, the portfolio management team still manages each account based on a model portfolio as previously described.

Fund Ownership: As of October 31, 2007, John R. Reinsberg, Michael A. Bennett, Michael G. Fry, James Donald, Brian Pessin, Kevin O'Hare, Gabrielle M. Boyle, Michael Powers, Erik McKee, Rohit Chopra and Edward Rosenfeld did not own equity securities in the funds or Fund Complex. The Fund Complex includes the Trust and the Ultra Series Fund with 18 portfolios.

DISTRIBUTION

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER AND DISTRIBUTION OF FUND SHARES

Shares of the Trust are offered continuously. CUNA Brokerage Services, Inc. ("CBSI"), with its principal place of business located at 5910 Mineral Point Road, Madison, WI 53705, is the Trust's principal underwriter and distributor. CBSI is an affiliate of MCA, and is owned by CUNA Mutual Investment Corporation which in turn is owned by CUNA Mutual Insurance Society.

The shares are currently issued and redeemed through CBSI, pursuant to a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") between the Trust and CBSI. Shares of the Trust are purchased and redeemed at NAV (see the "Net Asset Value of Shares" section, below), plus the applicable sales charge (if any) on purchases and less the applicable continent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions. The Distribution Agreement provides that CBSI will use its best efforts to

45

render services to the Trust, but in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations, it will not be liable to the Trust or any shareholder for any error of judgment or mistake of law or any act or omission or for any losses sustained by the Trust or its shareholders.

The aggregate dollar amount of underwriting commission (i.e., front-end sales loads) paid to CBSI for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $2,856,601, $1,826,369 and $2,166,093, respectively. Of these amounts, CBSI retained $2,632,094, $1,755,554 and $2,128,477, respectively.

The aggregate dollar amount of compensation on redemptions (i.e., contingent deferred sales charges) paid to CBSI for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $418,927, $672,890 and $937,362, respectively. Of these amounts, CBSI retained $418,927, $672,890 and $937,362, respectively.

The table below shows the commissions and other compensation received by each principal underwriter, who is an affiliated person of the Trust or an affiliated person of that affiliated person, directly or indirectly, from the Trust during the Trust's most recent fiscal year:

DISTRIBUTION PLANS AND AGREEMENT

Under the Distribution Agreement, CBSI is obligated to use its best efforts to sell shares of the Trust. Shares of the Trust may be sold by selected broker-dealers (the "Selling Brokers") which have entered into selling agency agreements with CBSI. CBSI accepts orders for the purchase of the shares of the Trust at the NAV next determined, plus any applicable sales charge. In connection with the sale of Class A shares of the Trust, CBSI and Selling Brokers receive compensation from a sales charge imposed at the time of sale. In connection with the sale of Class B and Class C shares of the Trust, CBSI and Selling Brokers receive compensation from a sales charge imposed on a deferred basis.

The Board also adopted distribution plans with respect to the Trust's Class A, Class B and Class C shares (the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plans, with the exception of the CASH RESERVES FUND, the Trust will pay service fees for Class A, Class B and Class C shares at an aggregate annual rate of 0.25% of each fund's daily net assets attributable to the respective class of shares. The Trust will also pay distribution fees for Class B and Class C shares at an aggregate annual rate of 0.75% of each fund's daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C, respectively. The distribution fees will be used to reimburse CBSI for its distribution expenses with respect to Class B and Class C shares, including but not limited to: (i) initial and ongoing sales compensation to Selling Brokers and others engaged in the sale of fund shares, (ii) marketing, promotional and overhead expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of fund shares and (iii) interest expenses on unreimbursed distribution expenses. The service fees will be used to compensate Selling Brokers and others for providing personal and account maintenance services to shareholders. In the event that CBSI is not fully reimbursed for expenses it incurs under either the Class B Plan or the Class C Plan in any fiscal year, CBSI may carry these expenses forward, provided, however, that the Board may terminate the Class B Plan or the Class C Plan and thus the Trust's obligation to make further payments at any time. Accordingly, the Trust does not treat unreimbursed expenses relating to the Class B or Class C shares as a liability.

The Plans are "compensation plans" which means that payments under the Plans are based upon a percentage of daily net assets attributable to the respective class of shares of each fund, regardless of the amounts actually paid or expenses actually incurred by CBSI; however, in no event may such payments exceed the maximum allowable fee. It is, therefore, possible that CBSI may realize a profit in a particular year as a result of these payments. A fund may engage in joint distribution activities with other MEMBERS Mutual Funds and to the extent the expenses are not allocated to a specific fund, expenses will be allocated based on the fund's net assets.

The Class A Plan and the Class B Plan were approved by the initial shareholder of the Trust, and the Class C Plan was approved by the Board. The Plans have also been approved annually by a majority of the Board, including a majority of

46

the trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plans (the "Independent Trustees"), by votes cast in person at meetings called for the purpose of voting on such Plans.

Pursuant to the Plans, at least quarterly, CBSI provides the Trust with a written report of the amounts expended under the Plans and the purpose for which these expenditures were made. The Board reviews these reports on a quarterly basis to determine their continued appropriateness.

The Plans provide that they continue in effect only so long as their continuance is approved at least annually by a majority of both the Board and the Independent Trustees. Each Plan provides that it may be terminated without penalty: (a) by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees; (b) by a vote of a majority of the votes attributable to a fund's outstanding shares of the applicable class in each case upon 60 days' written notice to CBSI; and (c) automatically in the event of assignment. Each of the Plans further provides that it may not be amended to increase the maximum amount of the fees for the services described therein without the approval of a majority of the votes attributable to the outstanding shares of the class of the Trust which has voting rights with respect to the Plan. And finally, each of the Plans provides that no material amendment to the Plan will, in any event, be effective unless it is approved by a majority vote of both the Board and the Independent Trustees. The holders of Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares have exclusive voting rights with respect to the Plan applicable to their respective class of shares. In adopting the Plans, the Board concluded that, in its judgment, there is a reasonable likelihood that each Plan will benefit the holders of the applicable class of shares of the fund.

The table below shows the dollar amounts spent by the Trust under the Plans for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 for each of the following items:

                                                                          CLASS A PLAN   CLASS B PLAN   CLASS C PLAN*

BROKERAGE

MCA and the Subadvisers are responsible for: (1) decisions to buy and sell securities for each of the funds, (2) the selection of brokers and dealers to effect such transactions and (3) the negotiation of brokerage commissions, if any, charged on such transactions.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who charge a negotiated commission for their services. Commission rates are established pursuant to negotiations with the broker based on the quality and quantity of execution and other services provided by the broker in light of generally prevailing rates. The allocation of orders among brokers and the commission rates paid are reviewed periodically by the Board.

In the over-the-counter market, securities are generally traded on a "net" basis with dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission, although the price of a security usually includes a profit to the dealer. Where transactions are made in the over-the-counter market, the Trust will deal with the primary market makers unless equal or more favorable prices are otherwise obtainable. In underwritten offerings, securities are purchased at a fixed price that includes an amount of compensation to the underwriter, generally referred to as the underwriter's concession or discount. Securities purchased from dealers serving as market makers will include a spread between the bid and ask price, which is the amount of compensation to the dealer.

The Trust expects that purchases and sales of money market instruments usually will be principal transactions. Money market instruments are normally purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter or market maker for the securities. There usually will be no brokerage commissions paid for such purchases.

47

With respect to the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, shares of underlying funds, except for ETFs, will be purchased in principal transactions directly from the issuer of the underlying fund and brokers will not be used. The TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS will not incur any commissions or sales charges when they purchase shares of the underlying funds, except for ETFs, as they are traded on securities exchanges.

In effecting transactions in portfolio securities, MCA and the Subadvisers give primary consideration to obtaining best execution of orders at the most favorable prices. This means that MCA and the Subadvisers will seek to execute each transaction at a price and commission, if any, which provide the most favorable total cost or proceeds reasonably attainable under the circumstances. The determination of what may constitute best execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves a number of considerations. Although MCA and the Subadvisers generally will seek reasonably competitive spreads or commissions, the funds do not necessarily pay the lowest commission available. In the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions, MCA and the Subadvisers are authorized to consider not only prices and rates of brokerage commissions, but also other relevant factors, including without limitation: (1) the overall direct net economic result (involving both price paid or received and any commissions and other costs paid), (2) the broker or dealer's execution capabilities, including its operational facilities, (3) the efficiency with which the transaction is effected, (4) the ability to effect the transaction where a large block of securities is involved, (5) the availability of the broker to stand ready to execute potentially difficult transactions in the future, (6) the financial strength and stability of the broker, (7) research, brokerage and other services provided by such broker or dealer when MCA or a Subadviser believes that such services will enhance its general portfolio management capabilities and (8) the risk to such broker or dealer of positioning a block of securities. Such considerations are judgmental and are weighed by MCA and the Subadvisers in determining the overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid.

With regard to (7) above, the research and brokerage services may be provided by third-parties and are those which brokerage houses customarily provide to institutional investors and include statistical and economic data and research reports on particular companies and industries. Any such research and brokerage services provided by brokers to the Trust or to MCA and the Subadvisers is considered to be in addition to and not in lieu of services required to be performed by MCA and the Subadvisers. Such services are used by MCA and the Subadvisers in connection with all of their investment activities, and some of such services obtained in connection with the execution of transactions for the funds may be used in managing other investment accounts. Conversely, brokers or dealers furnishing such services may be selected for the execution of transactions of other accounts, whose aggregate assets are far larger than those of the funds, and the services furnished by such brokers or dealers may be used by MCA and the Subadvisers in providing investment advisory services for the funds. Therefore, the correlation of the cost of research to MCA's individual clients, including the Trust, is indeterminable and cannot practically be allocated among the Trust and MCA's or the Subadvisers' other clients.

In addition to the general research services described above, MCA and the Subadvisers may receive various specific research products and services which are paid for by directing a portion of commissions on specified transactions up to a specified amount for each service to be paid by the brokers handling the transactions to the vendors of the products. The commission rates on such transactions are sometimes higher than on transactions on which such research products and services are not received.

Consistent with the above, the Trust may effect principal transactions with a broker or dealer that furnishes brokerage or research services. Such transactions include certain "riskless principal" transactions through certain dealers in the over-the-counter market under which commissions are paid on such transaction. Accordingly, the net prices or commission rates charged by any such broker or dealer may be greater than the amount another firm might charge if MCA or the Subadviser determines in good faith that the amount of such net prices and commissions is reasonable in relation to the value of the services and research information provided by such broker-dealer to the Trust.

On occasions when MCA or a Subadviser determines that the purchase or sale of a security is in the best interest of a fund as well as its other advisory clients (including any other fund or other advisory account for which MCA, the Subadviser or an affiliate acts as investment adviser), MCA or the Subadviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may aggregate the securities being sold or purchased for the fund with those being sold or purchased for such other customers in order to obtain the best net price and most favorable execution. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, is made by MCA or a Subadviser in the manner it considers to be most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the fund and such other customers. In some instances, this procedure may adversely affect the price and size of the position obtainable for a fund. MCA and the Subadvisers have established various policies and procedures that assure equitable treatment of all accounts.

48

The policy with respect to brokerage is and will be reviewed by the Board from time to time. Because of the possibility of further regulatory developments affecting the securities exchanges and brokerage practices generally, the foregoing practices may be changed, modified or eliminated without prior notice to shareholders.

The Trust paid the following amounts in brokerage commissions for the fiscal years ended October 31:

The provision of third party research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all of this business with such firms; however, as a general matter, trades may be placed on behalf of the funds with firms that provide research, subject to seeking to achieve best execution and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

PROXY VOTING POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND RECORDS

The Trust, on behalf of each of the funds, has adopted the proxy voting policies and procedures of MCA and the applicable Subadvisers, the summaries of which may be found in Appendix A hereto. The policies and procedures are used to determine how to vote proxies relating to the funds' portfolio securities. Included in the policies and procedures are procedures that are used on behalf of the funds when a vote presents a conflict of interest between the interests of: (1) the funds' shareholders and (2) MCA, the funds' Subadvisers (if any) and CBSI.

Form N-PX, which contains the proxy voting records for each of the funds for the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, is available to shareholders at no cost on the funds' website at www.membersfunds.com or the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.

SELECTIVE DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The funds' portfolio holdings must be adequately protected to prevent the misuse of that information by a third party to the potential detriment of the shareholders. Accordingly, the funds have adopted, and the Board has approved, policies and procedures designed to ensure that the disclosure of the funds' portfolio holdings is in the best interest of the funds' shareholders in the manner described below. Various non-fund advisory clients of MCA may hold portfolio securities substantially similar to those held by the funds. Although MCA has also adopted policies and procedures regarding the selective disclosure of the contents of those other clients' portfolios and representative account portfolios, those policies and procedures may contain different procedures and limitations than the policies and procedures that apply to the disclosure of the funds' portfolio holdings.

49

The funds' portfolio holdings are made public, as required by law, in the Trust's annual and semi-annual reports. These reports are filed with the SEC and mailed to shareholders within 60 days after the end of the relevant fiscal period. In addition, as required by law, the funds' portfolio holdings as of fiscal quarter end are reported to the SEC within 60 days after the end of the funds' first and third fiscal quarters and are available to any interested person.

The funds' portfolio holdings information may be disseminated more frequently, or as of different periods, than as described above only when legitimate business purposes of the funds are served and the potential and actual conflicts of interest between the interests of fund shareholders and those of the funds' affiliates are reviewed and considered. Selective disclosures could be considered to serve the legitimate business purposes of the funds, if (1) done to further the interests of the funds and (2) the disclosure is not expected to result in harm to the funds (such harm could occur by permitting third parties to trade ahead of, or front run, the funds or to effect trades in shares of the funds with information about portfolio holdings that other potential investors do not have). For example, the funds may provide portfolio holdings information to certain vendors that provide services that are important to the operations of the funds, or that assist MCA in providing services to the funds or in conducting its investment management business activities in general. Potential and actual conflicts of interest between the funds and their affiliates must also be reviewed and considered. For example, there may be situations where the disclosure facilitates portfolio management activities or the potential growth of the funds, which could legitimately serve the common interests of both the funds and MCA. However, selective disclosures will not be made for the benefit of MCA or its affiliates unless the disclosure would be in the interests of the funds or, at a minimum, result in no harm to the funds.

Currently, the funds' portfolio holdings information is disseminated in the manner set forth above as required by law, and as set forth below. Neither the Trust, nor MCA or its affiliates, may receive any compensation in connection with an arrangement to make available information about the funds' portfolio holdings.

With the exception of the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, each fund's top ten holdings are made public by publication on the Trust's website on a quarterly basis, 15 days after the end of the quarter. The Trust may distribute, on a monthly basis, portfolio holdings to mutual fund evaluation services such as Morningstar or Lipper Analytical Services; consultants to retirement plans such as Mercer; due diligence departments of broker-dealers and wirehouses that regularly analyze the portfolio holdings of mutual funds before their public disclosure; and broker-dealers that may be used by the Trust, for the purpose of efficient trading and receipt of relevant research, provided that (a) a minimum of 30 days has passed since the end of the applicable month and (b) the recipient does not regularly distribute the portfolio holdings or results of the analysis to third parties, other departments or persons who are likely to use the information for purposes of purchasing or selling the funds before the information becomes public.

The TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS invest primarily in other mutual funds and ETFs. Since the conflicts associated with front running, trading ahead of, or effecting trades in shares of the securities held has been mitigated due to the fund of funds structure, the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS holdings will be made public 10 days after each month end.

The portfolio holdings information of those investment portfolios of the funds that only invest in fixed-income securities may, at the discretion of MCA or any applicable Subadviser, provide month-end portfolio holdings information to broker-dealers with a three or four day lag. Such information will only be provided to those broker-dealers that enter into a form of a confidentiality agreement that has been approved by the Trust's chief compliance officer.

The funds may also disclose any and all portfolio information to their service providers and others who generally need access to such information in the performance of their contractual duties and responsibilities and are subject to duties of confidentiality, including a duty not to trade on non-public information, imposed by law and/or contract. These service providers include the funds' custodians, auditors, investment advisers, administrator, and each of their respective affiliates and advisers. In connection with providing investment advisory services to its clients, Wellington Management has ongoing arrangements to disclose non-public portfolio holdings information to the following parties: Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (performs certain operational functions for Wellington Management and receives portfolio holdings information on a daily basis); FactSet Research Systems, Inc. (provides analytical services for Wellington Management and receives portfolio holdings information on a daily basis); Investment Technology Group, Inc. (provides analytical services for Wellington Management and receives portfolio holdings information on a weekly basis); Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (provides proxy voting services for Wellington Management and receives portfolio holdings information on a daily basis); and State Street Bank and Trust Company (performs certain operational functions on behalf of Wellington Management and receives portfolio holdings information on a daily basis). SCM discloses portfolio holdings of the HIGH INCOME FUND to the following service providers for the sole purpose of assisting SCM in

50

performing its services as subadviser to the HIGH INCOME FUND: FactSet Research Systems, Inc. - analytics (daily); and Bloomberg, L.P. - trade order management system (daily).

Any exceptions to the above disclosure rules must be pre-approved by the Trust's chief compliance officer. The Board shall, on an annual basis, receive a report detailing the recipients of the portfolio holdings information and the reason for such disclosures. There can be no assurance that the funds' policies and procedures on disclosure of portfolio holdings will protect the funds from misuse of such information by individuals or entities that come into possession of the information.

CODES OF ETHICS

The Trust has adopted a code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act. The code of ethics covers the conduct (including the personal securities transactions) of each of the Trust's officers and trustees, as well as of any employees of MCA, including those employees who participate in the selection of securities or who have access to information regarding the Trust's pending purchases and sales of securities (collectively referred to as "Covered Persons"). MCA and each of the funds' Subadvisers have also adopted a code of ethics that covers the conduct and personal securities transactions of its officers, managers, and employees, including its Covered Persons. Likewise, CBSI, the principal underwriter of the Trust, has adopted a code of ethics covering the conduct and personal securities transactions of its officers, directors, and employees, including its Covered Persons.

In general, the codes of ethics restrict purchases or sales of securities being purchased or sold, or being considered for purchase or sale, on behalf of the Trust by any Covered Persons of the Trust. In addition, the codes restrict Covered Persons in their purchases of securities in an initial public offering and in private offerings of securities. The codes of ethics also establish certain "blackout periods" during which Covered Persons, or certain classes of Covered Persons, may not effect personal securities transactions. Certain specified transactions are exempt from the provisions of the codes of ethics.

SHARES OF THE TRUST

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Board to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest of the Trust without par value. Under the Declaration of Trust, the Board has the authority to create and classify shares of beneficial interest in separate series, without further action by shareholders. As of the date of this SAI, the Board has authorized shares of the 14 funds described in the prospectus. Additional series and/or classes may be added in the future. The Declaration of Trust also authorizes the Board to classify and reclassify the shares of the Trust, or new series of the Trust, into one or more classes. As of the date of this SAI, the Board has authorized the issuance of five classes of shares of the fund, designated as Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y. Additional classes of shares may be offered in the future.

The shares of each class of each fund represent an equal proportionate interest in the aggregate net assets attributable to that class of that fund. Holders of Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class Y shares have certain exclusive voting rights on matters relating to their respective class of shares. The different classes of a fund may bear different expenses relating to the cost of holding shareholder meetings necessitated by the exclusive voting rights of any class of shares.

Dividends paid by each fund, if any, with respect to each class of shares will be calculated in the same manner, at the same time and on the same day and will be in the same amount, except for differences resulting from the fact that: (i) the distribution and service fees relating to Class A, Class B and Class C shares will be borne exclusively by that class; (ii) Class B and Class C shares will pay higher distribution and service fees than Class A shares; and (iii) each of Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class Y shares will bear any other class expenses properly allocable to such class of shares, subject to the requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") on funds having a multiple-class structure. Similarly, the NAV per share may vary depending on whether Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares or Class Y shares are purchased.

In the event of liquidation, shareholders of each class of each fund are entitled to share pro rata in the net assets of the class of the fund available for distribution to these shareholders. Shares entitle their holders to one vote per dollar value

51

of shares, are freely transferable and have no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. When issued, shares are fully paid and non-assessable.

Share certificates will not be issued.

VOTING RIGHTS

Unless otherwise required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, the Trust has no intention of holding annual meetings of shareholders. Fund shareholders may remove a trustee by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Trust's votes attributable to the outstanding shares and the Board shall promptly call a meeting for such purpose when requested to do so in writing by the record holders of not less than 10% of the votes attributable to the outstanding shares of the Trust. Shareholders may, under certain circumstances, communicate with other shareholders in connection with requesting a special meeting of shareholders. However, at any time that less than a majority of the trustees holding office were elected by the shareholders, the Board will call a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing trustees.

LIMITATION OF SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY

Generally, Delaware statutory trust shareholders are not personally liable for obligations of the Delaware statutory trust under Delaware law. The Delaware Statutory Trust Act ("DSTA") provides that a shareholder of a Delaware statutory trust shall be entitled to the same limitation of liability extended to shareholders of private for-profit corporations. The Declaration of Trust expressly provides that the Trust has been organized under the DSTA and that the Declaration of Trust is to be governed by and interpreted in accordance with Delaware law. It is nevertheless possible that a Delaware statutory trust, such as the Trust, might become a party to an action in another state whose courts refuse to apply Delaware law, in which case the Trust's shareholders could possibly be subject to personal liability.

To guard against this risk, the Declaration of Trust: (1) contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust and provides that notice of such disclaimer may be given in each agreement, obligation and instrument entered into or executed by the Trust or its trustees;
(2) provides for the indemnification out of Trust property of any shareholders held personally liable for any obligations of the Trust or any fund; and (3) provides that the Trust shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his or her investment because of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which all of the following factors are present: (1) a court refuses to apply Delaware law; (2) the liability arose under tort law or, if not, no contractual limitation of liability was in effect; and (3) the Trust itself would be unable to meet its obligations. In the light of DSTA, the nature of the Trust's business, and the nature of its assets, the risk of personal liability to a shareholder is remote.

LIMITATION OF TRUSTEE AND OFFICER LIABILITY

The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trust shall indemnify each of its trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses reasonably incurred by them, in connection with, or arising out of, any action, suit or proceeding, threatened against or otherwise involving such trustee or officer, directly or indirectly, by reason of being or having been a trustee or officer of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust does not authorize the Trust to indemnify any trustee or officer against any liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of or for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of such person's duties.

LIMITATION OF INTERSERIES LIABILITY

All persons dealing with a fund must look solely to the property of that particular fund for the enforcement of any claims against that fund, as neither the trustees, officers, agents nor shareholders assume any personal liability for obligations entered into on behalf of a fund or the Trust. No fund is liable for the obligations of any other fund. Since the funds use a combined prospectus, however, it is possible that one fund might become liable for a misstatement or omission in the prospectus regarding another fund with which its disclosure is combined.

NET ASSET VALUE OF SHARES

The NAV per share for all classes of shares is calculated as of 3:00 p.m., Central Time, on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. NAV per share is determined by dividing each fund's total net assets by the

52

number of shares of such fund outstanding at the time of calculation. Total net assets are determined by adding the total current value of portfolio securities (including shares of other investment companies), cash, receivables, and other assets and subtracting liabilities. Since the assets of each TARGET ALLOCATION FUND consist primarily of shares of underlying funds, the NAV of each TARGET ALLOCATION FUND is determined based on the NAVs of the underlying funds. Shares will be sold and redeemed at the NAV per share next determined after receipt in good order of the purchase order or request for redemption.

CASH RESERVES FUND

The Board has determined that the best method currently available for determining the NAV for the CASH RESERVES FUND is the amortized cost method. The Board will utilize this method pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-7 obligates the Board, as part of its responsibility within the overall duty of care owed to the shareholders, to establish procedures reasonably designed, taking into account current market conditions and the fund's investment objectives, to stabilize the NAV per share as computed for the purpose of maintaining an NAV of $1.00 per share. The procedures include periodically monitoring, as deemed appropriate and at such intervals as are reasonable in light of current market conditions, the relationship between the amortized cost value per share and the NAV per share based upon available market quotations. The Board will consider what steps should be taken, if any, in the event of a difference of more than 1/2 of one percent (0.5%) between the two. The Board will take such steps as it considers appropriate (e.g., redemption in kind or shortening the average portfolio maturity) to minimize any material dilution or other unfair results which might arise from differences between the two. Rule 2a-7 requires that the CASH RESERVES FUND limit its investments to instruments which the Investment Adviser determines will present minimal credit risks and which are of high quality as determined by a major rating agency, or, in the case of any instrument that is not so rated, of comparable quality as determined by the Investment Adviser. It also calls for the CASH RESERVES FUND to maintain a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity (not more than 90 days) appropriate to its objective of maintaining a stable NAV of $1.00 per share and precludes the purchase of any instrument with a remaining maturity of more than 397 days. Should the disposition of a portfolio security result in a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity of more than 90 days, the CASH RESERVES FUND will invest its available cash in such manner as to reduce such maturity to 90 days or less as soon as reasonably practicable.

It is the normal practice of the CASH RESERVES FUND to hold portfolio securities to maturity. Therefore, unless a sale or other disposition of a security is mandated by redemption requirements or other extraordinary circumstances, the CASH RESERVES FUND will realize the par value of the security. Under the amortized cost method of valuation traditionally employed by institutions for valuation of money market instruments, neither the amount of daily income nor the NAV is affected by any unrealized appreciation or depreciation. In periods of declining interest rates, the indicated daily yield on shares of the CASH RESERVES FUND (computed by dividing the annualized daily income by the NAV) will tend to be higher than if the valuation were based upon market prices and estimates. In periods of rising interest rates, the indicated daily yield of shares the CASH RESERVES FUND will tend to be lower than if the valuation were based upon market prices and estimates.

PORTFOLIO VALUATION

Securities and other investments are valued as follows. Equity securities, and other similar investments, listed on any U.S. or foreign stock exchange or listed and traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") are valued at the last sale price on that exchange or NASDAQ on the valuation day (provided that, for securities traded on NASDAQ, the funds utilize the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP")). If no sale occurs, (a) equities traded on a U.S. exchange or on NASDAQ are valued at the mean between the closing bid and closing asked prices (where only bid price and asked price is quoted, or the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial, quotations for a several-day period are used to establish value) and (b) equity securities traded on a foreign exchange are valued at the official bid price. Debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 61 days or more are valued by a pricing service selected by the Trust or on the basis of dealer-supplied quotations. Short-term instruments having maturities of 60 days or less and all securities in the CASH RESERVES FUND are valued on an amortized cost basis.

Over-the-counter securities not listed or traded on NASDAQ are valued at the last sale price on the valuation day. If no sale occurs on the valuation day, an over-the-counter security is valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter options are valued based upon prices provided by market makers in such securities or dealers in such currencies. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale or bid price on the exchange where such option contract is principally traded. Financial futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price established by the exchange(s)

53

on which the contracts are primarily traded. The Trust's Valuation Committee (the "Valuation Committee") shall estimate the fair value of futures positions affected by the daily limit by using its valuation procedures for determining fair value, when necessary. Spot and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued based on quotations supplied by dealers in such contracts. Overnight repurchase agreements are valued at cost, and term repurchase agreements (i.e., those whose maturity exceeds seven days), swaps, caps, collars and floors are valued at the average of the closing bids obtained daily from at least one dealer.

The value of all assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollar values at the noon (Eastern Time) WM Companies spot rate. All other securities for which either quotations are not readily available, no other sales have occurred, or do not, in MCA's opinion, reflect the current market value are appraised at their fair values as determined in good faith by and under the general supervision of the Board.

A fund's investments will be valued at fair value if, in the judgment of the Valuation Committee, an event impacting the value of an investment occurred between the closing time of a security's primary market or exchange (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and the time the fund's share price is calculated. Significant events may include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) significant fluctuations in domestic markets, foreign markets or foreign currencies; (2) occurrences not directly tied to the securities markets such as natural disasters, armed conflicts or significant government actions; and (3) major announcements affecting a single issuer or an entire market or market sector. In responding to a significant event, the Valuation Committee would determine the fair value of affected securities considering a number of factors including, but not limited to: fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment; and the forces influencing the market(s) in which the investment is purchased or sold. The Valuation Committee may rely on an independent fair valuation service to adjust the valuations of foreign equity securities based on specific market-movement parameters established by the Committee and approved by the Trust.

The Valuation Committee is comprised of Dan Owens (Chairman of the Committee and Assistant Treasurer of the funds), Kurt Lin (MCA's Head Trader - Derivatives) and David Voge (MCA's Senior Research Analyst - Fixed Income).

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

It is the intention of the Trust to distribute substantially all of the net income, if any, of each fund thereby avoiding the imposition of any fund-level income or excise tax, as described below. Distributions shall be made in the following manner:

(i) Distributions of net investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest, net short-term capital gains, and net gains from foreign currency transactions) with respect to the CASH RESERVES AND BOND FUND will be declared daily and reinvested monthly in additional full and fractional shares of such fund, unless otherwise directed;

(ii) Distributions of net investment company taxable income, if any, with respect to the DIVERSIFIED INCOME AND HIGH INCOME FUNDS will be declared and reinvested monthly in additional full and fractional shares of the respective fund, unless otherwise directed; and

(iii) Distributions of net investment company taxable income, if any, with respect to the LARGE CAP VALUE, LARGE CAP GROWTH, MID CAP VALUE, MID CAP GROWTH, SMALL CAP VALUE, SMALL CAP GROWTH, INTERNATIONAL STOCK, CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION, MODERATE ALLOCATION And AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION FUNDS will be declared and reinvested annually in additional full and fractional shares of the respective fund, unless otherwise directed; and

(iv) All net realized short-term and long-term capital gains of each fund, if any, will be declared and distributed at least annually, but in any event, no more frequently than allowed under SEC rules, to the shareholders of each fund to which such gains are attributable.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS

Qualification as Regulated Investment Company

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 Trust's other portfolios will be separate from those realized by each fund.

Each fund intends to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies. In the event a fund fails to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M, it will be treated as a regular

54

corporation for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, such fund would be subject to federal income taxes on the full amount of its taxable income and gains, and any distributions that such fund makes would not qualify for the dividends paid deduction. This would increase the cost of investing in such fund for shareholders and would make it more economical for shareholders to invest directly in securities held by such fund instead of investing indirectly in securities through such fund. Given these risks, compliance with the above requirements is carefully monitored by the Investment Adviser and each fund intends to comply with these requirements as they exist or as they may be modified from time to time.

A fund must meet several requirements to maintain its status as a regulated investment company. These requirements include the following: (1) at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year must be derived from (a) dividends, interest, payments with respect to loaned securities, gains from the sale or disposition of securities (including gains from related investments in foreign currencies), and other income (including gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such securities or currencies, and (b) net income derived from an interest in a "qualified publicly traded partnership;" and (2) at the close of each quarter of the fund's taxable year, (a) at least 50% of the value of the fund's total assets must consist of cash, cash items, securities of other regulated investment companies, U.S. Government securities and other securities (provided that no more than 5% of the value of the fund may consist of such other securities of any one issuer, and the fund may not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer), and (b) the fund must not invest more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies), the securities of two or more issuers that are controlled by the fund and that are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses or related trades or businesses, or the securities of one or more "qualified publicly traded partnerships."

A regulated investment company generally must distribute in each calendar year an amount equal to at least the sum of: (1) 98% of its ordinary taxable income for the year, (2) 98% of its capital gain net income for the 12 months ended on October 31 of that calendar year and (3) any ordinary income or net capital gain income not distributed in prior years. To the extent that a regulated investment company fails to do this, it is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed earnings. Therefore, in order to avoid the federal excise tax, each fund must make (and the Trust intends that each will make) the foregoing distributions.

Each fund generally will endeavor to distribute (or be deemed to distribute) to its respective shareholders all of such fund's net investment company taxable income and net capital gain, if any, for each taxable year so that such fund will not incur federal income or excise taxes on its earnings. However, no assurances can be given that these anticipated distributions will be sufficient to eliminate all taxes.

Capital Loss Carryforwards

As of October 31, 2007, the following funds had capital loss "carryforwards" as indicated below. To the extent provided in the Code and regulations thereunder, a fund may carry forward such capital losses to offset realized capital gains in future years. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders because they would be taxable as ordinary income.

                                                     CARRYOVER EXPIRING IN:

Investments in Foreign Securities

If a fund purchases foreign securities, interest and dividends received by the fund may be subject to income withholding or other taxes imposed by foreign countries and U.S. possessions that could reduce the return on these securities. Tax treaties and conventions between the United States and certain foreign countries, however, may reduce or eliminate the amount of foreign taxes to which a fund would be subject. Also, many foreign countries do not impose taxes on capital gains in respect of investments by foreign investors. 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 Trust intends to operate so as to qualify for treaty-reduced tax rates when applicable.

55

A fund may invest in the stock of certain foreign companies that constitute passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"). There are several elections available under federal law to determine how the fund's shareholders will be taxed on PFIC investments. Depending upon the election the fund selects, the fund's shareholders may be subject to federal income taxes (either capital or ordinary) with respect to a taxable year attributable to a PFIC investment, even though the fund receives no distribution from the PFIC and does not dispose of the PFIC investment during such year, and/or the fund's shareholders may be subject to federal income taxes upon the disposition of the PFIC investments. Any fund that acquires stock in foreign corporations may limit and/or manage its holdings in PFICs to minimize its tax liability.

If more than 50% of the value of a fund's total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of securities of foreign corporations, it will be eligible to, and may, file an election with the IRS that would enable its shareholders, in effect, to receive the benefit of the foreign tax credit with respect to any foreign and U.S. possessions income taxes paid by it. Pursuant to the election, a fund would treat those taxes as dividends paid to its shareholders and each shareholder would be required to (1) include in gross income, and treat as paid by him, his proportionate share of those taxes, (2) treat his share of those taxes and of any dividend paid by the fund that represents income from foreign or U.S. possessions sources as his own income from those sources, and (3) either deduct the taxes deemed paid by him in computing his taxable income or, alternatively, use the foregoing information in calculating the foreign tax credit against his federal income tax. Each fund will report to its shareholders shortly after each taxable year their respective share of its income from sources within, and taxes paid to, foreign countries and U.S. possessions if it makes this election. 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 INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND anticipates that it may qualify for and make this election in most, but not necessarily all, of its taxable years.

Investments with Original Issue Discount

Each fund that invests in certain payment-in-kind instruments, zero coupon securities or certain deferred interest securities (and, in general, any other securities with original issue discount or with market discount if the fund elects to include market discount in current income) must accrue income on such investments prior to the receipt of the corresponding cash. However, because each fund must meet the 90% distribution requirement to qualify as a regulated investment company and each fund seeks to avoid any imposition of the excise tax, a fund may have to dispose of its portfolio investments under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash, or may have to leverage itself by borrowing the cash, to satisfy distribution requirements.

Federal Tax Treatment of Options, Futures and Foreign Currency Transactions

Certain option transactions have special tax results for the funds. Expiration of a call option written by a fund will result in short-term capital gain. If the call option is exercised, the fund will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the security covering the call option and, in determining such gain or loss, the option premium will be included in the proceeds of the sale.

If a fund writes options other than "qualified covered call options," as defined in Section 1092 of the Code, or purchases puts, any losses on such options transactions, to the extent they do not exceed the unrealized gains on the securities covering the options, may be subject to deferral until the securities covering the options have been sold.

A fund's investment in Section 1256 contracts, such as regulated futures contracts, most foreign currency forward contracts traded in the interbank market and options on most stock indices, are subject to special tax rules. All
Section 1256 contracts held by a fund at the end of its taxable year are required to be marked to their market value, and any unrealized gain or loss on those positions will be included in the fund's income as if each position had been sold for its fair market value at the end of the taxable year. The resulting gain or loss will be combined with any gain or loss realized by a fund from positions in Section 1256 contracts closed during the taxable year. Provided such positions were held as capital assets and were not part of a "hedging transaction" nor part of a "straddle," 60% of the resulting net gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, and 40% of such net gain or loss will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss, regardless of the period of time the positions were actually held by a fund.

The preceding rules regarding options, futures and foreign currency transactions may cause a fund to recognize income without receiving cash with which to make distributions in amounts necessary to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement and the excise tax avoidance requirements described above. To mitigate the effect of these rules and prevent disqualification of a fund as a regulated investment company, the Trust seeks to monitor transactions of each fund, seeks

56

to make the appropriate tax elections on behalf of each fund and seeks to make the appropriate entries in each fund's books and records when the fund acquires any option, futures contract or hedged investment.

The federal income tax rules applicable to interest rate swaps, caps and floors are unclear in certain respects, and a fund may be required to account for these transactions in a manner that, in certain circumstances, may limit the degree to which it may utilize these transactions.

SHAREHOLDER TAXATION

Distributions

Distributions from a fund's net investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest, net short-term capital gains, and net gains from foreign currency transactions), if any, generally are taxable as ordinary income whether reinvested or received in cash, unless such distributions are attributable to "qualified dividend" income eligible for the reduced rate of tax on long-term capital gains or unless you are exempt from taxation or entitled to a tax deferral. Currently, the maximum rate applicable to long-term capital gains, and thus to qualified dividend income, is set at 15%. Under current law, the reduced rates on qualified dividend income will cease to apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010.

Generally, "qualified dividend" income includes dividends received during the taxable year from certain domestic corporations and "qualified foreign corporations." PFICs and corporations incorporated in a country that does not have an income tax treaty and an exchange of information program with the U.S. are not qualified foreign corporations. The portion of a distribution that the fund pays that is attributable to qualified dividend income received by the fund will qualify for such treatment in the hands of the noncorporate shareholders of the fund. If a fund has income of which more than 95% was qualified dividends, all of the fund's dividends will be eligible for the lower rates on qualified dividends. Certain holding period requirements applicable to both the fund and the shareholder also must be satisfied to obtain qualified dividend treatment.

Distributions of non-qualified dividend income, interest income, other types of ordinary income, and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer. Distributions paid by each fund from net capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over short-term capital losses) are taxable as long-term capital gains whether reinvested or received in cash and regardless of the length of time you have owned your shares. The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 reduced the maximum rate for long-term capital gains recognized by noncorporate shareholders to 15%. Absent further legislation, this reduced rate will cease to apply to capital gains arising after December 31, 2010.

Any dividend declared by a fund in October, November, or December of any calendar year, payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month and actually paid during January of the following year, is treated as if it had been received by the shareholders on December 31 of the year in which the dividend was declared.

Buying a Dividend

Purchasing shares shortly before a distribution may not be advantageous. Since such shares are unlikely to substantially appreciate in value in the short period before the distribution, if the distribution is taxable, it will essentially result in a taxable return of a portion of the purchase price.

Dividends Received Deduction

Assuming a fund qualifies as regulated investment company, the dividends received deduction for shareholders of such fund who are 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 such fund were a regular corporation, and to the extent designated by the fund as so qualifying.

Gains and Losses on Redemption and Sales

A redemption or sale of fund shares may result in a taxable gain or loss to a shareholder, depending on whether the proceeds are more or less than the shareholder's basis in the redeemed shares. An exchange of fund shares for shares in

57

any fund of the Trust will have similar tax consequences. Any gain or loss arising from the sale or redemption of shares generally is a capital gain or loss. This capital gain or loss normally is treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder has held his, her or its shares for more than one year at the time of such sale or redemption; otherwise, it generally will be classified as short-term capital gain or loss. If, however, a shareholder receives a capital gain distribution with respect to any share of a fund, and if the share is sold before it has been held by the shareholder for at least six months, then any loss on the sale or exchange of the share, to the extent of the capital gain distribution, is treated as a long-term capital loss.

Deduction of Capital Losses

Non-corporate shareholders with net capital losses for a year (i.e., capital losses in excess of capital gains) generally may deduct up to $3,000 of such losses against their ordinary income each year; any net capital losses of a non-corporate shareholder in excess of $3,000 generally may be carried forward and used in subsequent years as provided in the Code. Corporate shareholders generally may not deduct any net capital losses for a year, but may carry back such losses for three years or carry forward such losses for five years.

Reports to Shareholders

The Trust sends to each of its shareholders, as promptly as possible after the end of each calendar year, a notice detailing, on a per share and per distribution basis, the amounts includible in such shareholder's taxable income for such year as ordinary income (including any portion eligible to be treated as qualified dividend income or to be deducted pursuant to the dividends-received deduction) and as long-term capital gain. In addition, the federal tax status of each year's distributions generally is reported to the IRS.

Backup Withholding

If a shareholder does not furnish the Trust with a correct social security number or taxpayer identification number and/or the Trust receives notification from the IRS requiring back-up withholding, the Trust is required by federal law to withhold federal income tax from the shareholder's distributions and redemption proceeds, currently at a rate of 28% for U.S. citizens and residents. The backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be returned or credited against a taxpayer's regular federal income tax liability if appropriate information is provided to the IRS.

THIS SECTION IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A FULL DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS AND THE EFFECT OF SUCH LAWS ON A FUND OR AN INVESTOR. THERE MAY BE OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO A PARTICULAR FUND OR INVESTOR. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS.

MORE ABOUT PURCHASING AND SELLING SHARES

The following discussion expands upon the section entitled "Your Account" in the prospectus.

MINIMUM INVESTMENTS

The Board reserves the right to change or waive the fund's minimum investment requirements and to reject any order to purchase shares (including any purchase by exchange) when in the judgment of MCA, such rejection is in the fund's best interest.

OFFERING PRICE

Shares of each fund are offered at a price equal to their NAV next determined after receipt in good order of the purchase order for such shares (see the "Net Asset Value of Shares" section, above) plus a sales charge which, depending upon the class of shares purchased, may be imposed either at the time of purchase (Class A shares) or on a contingent deferred basis (Class B and Class C shares). Class Y shares are sold without the imposition of a sales charge.

58

CALCULATION OF THE SALES CHARGE

The sales charge percentage that you pay may be higher or lower than what is disclosed in the prospectus due to standard industry practice to round the public offering price to two decimal places (i.e., to the nearest penny) and rounding the number of shares purchased to three decimal places.

59

For example, assume that you purchased $10,000 of the Class A shares of the BOND
FUND.

PROSPECTUS SALES CHARGE: 4.50%

NAV: $10.04
Offering Price: $10.51 [calculated as $10.04/(1-0.0450) = $10.513089 which rounds to $10.51]
Shares Purchased: 951.475 ($10,000/$10.51 = 951.47478 which rounds to 951.475)
Account Balance: 951.475 x $10.04 (NAV) = $9,552.80
STATEMENT AND CONFIRM SALES CHARGE:
$10,000 - $9,552.80 = $447.20
$447.20/$10,000 = 4.472%, which rounds to 4.47%

INITIAL SALES CHARGE ON CLASS A SHARES

With the exception of the CASH RESERVES FUND, Class A shares are offered at a price that includes an initial "front-end" sales charge that is deducted from your investment at the time you purchase shares. Depending upon the amount you invest, the sales charge may be reduced and/or eliminated for larger purchases. The sales charges applicable to purchases of Class A shares of the Trust are described in the prospectus.

Class A shares may be offered without front-end sales charges to various individuals and institutions, or issued or purchased in specific transactions as described in the prospectus. Class A shares may also be offered without a front-end sales charge pursuant to the funds' reinstatement or reinvestment privilege (see the "Additional Investor Services" section, below).

In addition, there are several ways investors may combine multiple purchases to reduce Class A sales charges as disclosed in the prospectus and further described below. FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING THE SALES CHARGE, SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND PURCHASED THROUGH AN EXCHANGE, REINVESTMENT OR CROSS-REINVESTMENT FROM ANOTHER FUND HAVING A SALES CHARGE QUALIFY; HOWEVER, DIRECT PURCHASES OF THE CLASS A SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND ARE EXCLUDED.

RIGHTS OF COMBINATION. Purchases may be combined to reduce Class A sales charges if made by:

- you and your immediate family for your own account(s), including individual retirement, custodial and personal trust accounts;

- a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust, estate or fiduciary account; and

- groups which qualify for the Group Investment Program.

GROUP INVESTMENT PROGRAM. Certain qualified pension plans or non-qualified group investment plan participants may be eligible for rights of combination. This would include a 401(k) plan with less than $250,000 in assets and 457(f) plans.

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. For the purpose of calculating the sales charge on Class A shares, you may add the current market value of your existing holdings in any fund and class of shares of the Trust (including combinations), to the amount of your next purchase of Class A shares to qualify for reduced sales charges. The current value of existing individual holdings, as of the week prior to your investment, in your MEMBERS variable annuity contract may also be taken into account to determine your Class A sales charges.

LETTER OF INTENT. The reduced sales charges are also applicable to investments made pursuant to a Letter of Intention ("LOI"), which should be read carefully prior to its execution by an investor, pursuant to which investors make their investment over a specified period of thirteen (13) months. Such an investment (including accumulations and combinations) must aggregate at least $25,000 or more if investing in equity funds or at least $50,000 or more if investing in bond funds during the 13-month period from the date of the LOI or from a date within ninety (90) days prior thereto, upon written request to MEMBERS Mutual Funds. The sales charge applicable to all amounts invested under the LOI is computed as if the aggregate amount intended to be invested had been invested immediately. If such aggregate amount is not actually invested, excluding reinvested dividends and capital gains, the difference in the sales charge actually paid and the sales charge payable had the LOI not been in effect is due from the investor. However, for the purchases actually made within the 13-month period, the sales charge applicable will not be higher than that which would have applied (including accumulations and combinations) had the LOI been for the amount actually invested.

60

The LOI authorizes the Trust to hold in escrow sufficient Class A shares (approximately 5% of the purchase) to make up any difference in sales charges on the amount intended to be invested and the amount actually invested, until such investment is completed within the specified period, at which time the escrow shares will be released. If the total investment specified in the LOI is not completed, the Class A shares held in escrow may be redeemed and the proceeds used as required to pay such sales charge as may be due. By signing the LOI, the investor authorizes the Trust to act as the investor's attorney-in-fact to redeem any escrowed shares and adjust the sales charge, if necessary. A LOI does not constitute a binding commitment by an investor to purchase, or by the Trust to sell, any additional shares and may be terminated at any time.

In order to ensure that you receive a reduction or waiver of your Class A sales charge, you need to inform your financial representative or the Trust at the time you purchase shares that you qualify for such a reduction or waiver. If notification is not provided, you may not receive the sales charge discount or waiver to which you are otherwise entitled. The Trust may require evidence, including account statements of all relevant accounts invested in the Trust and reserves the right to request additional documentation, to verify you are eligible for a reduction or waiver of sales charges.

DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ON CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES

Investments in Class B and Class C shares are purchased at their NAV per share without the imposition of an initial sales charge so the fund will receive the full amount of the purchase payment. With the exception of the CASH RESERVES FUND, the funds' distributor pays a commission equal to 4% of the amount invested to broker/dealers who sell Class B shares. DIRECT PURCHASES OF CLASS B SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND ARE NOT PERMITTED. CLASS B SHARES OF THE CASH RESERVES FUND MAY ONLY BE ACQUIRED BY EXCHANGE FROM CLASS B SHARES OF OTHER FUNDS. Class C shares are only offered with respect to the TARGET ALLOCATION FUNDS, and the funds' distributor pays a commission equal to 1% of the amount invested to broker/dealers who sell Class C shares.

Class B shares that are redeemed within six years of purchase (five years for purchases before February 28, 2003) and Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") at the rates set forth in the prospectus. The amount of the CDSC, if any, will vary depending on the number of years from time of purchase until the time of redemption, and will be calculated using the methodology described in the prospectus. A hypothetical example is provided in the prospectus for further clarification.

Unless otherwise requested, redemption requests will be "grossed up" by the amount of any applicable CDSC charge and/or transaction charges such that the investor will receive the net amount requested.

Proceeds from the CDSC are paid to CBSI and are used in whole or in part by CBSI to defray its expenses related to providing distribution-related services to the Trust in connection with the sale of the Class B shares and Class C shares, such as the payment of the 4% commission to broker/dealers who sell Class B shares and the 1% commission to broker/dealers who sell Class C shares. The combination of the CDSC, the distribution, and service fees facilitates the ability of the Trust to sell Class B shares and Class C shares without a sales charge being deducted at the time of the purchase.

WAIVER OF CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE. The CDSC may be waived on redemptions of Class B shares and Class C shares. The chart that follows is a restatement of the waivers found in the prospectus.

In order to ensure you receive a waiver of the CDSC on redemption of your Class B shares and Class C shares, you need to notify your financial representative or the Trust that you qualify for such a waiver at the time you redeem the shares. If notice is not provided, you may not receive the waiver to which you are otherwise entitled. The Trust may require evidence, and reserves the right to request additional documentation, to verify you are eligible for a waiver of sales charges.

SPECIAL REDEMPTIONS

Although no fund would normally do so, each fund has the right to pay the redemption price of shares of the fund in whole or in part in portfolio securities held by the fund as prescribed by the Board. If the shareholder were to sell portfolio securities received in this fashion, the shareholder would incur a brokerage charge. Any such securities would be valued for the purposes of making such payment, at the same value as used in determining NAV. The Trust has, however, elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act. Under that rule, each fund must redeem its shares for cash except to the extent that the redemption payments to any shareholder during any 90-day period would exceed the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the fund's NAV at the beginning of such period.

ADDITIONAL INVESTOR SERVICES

The following discussion expands upon the section entitled "Additional Investor Services" in the prospectus.

SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM

As explained in the prospectus, the Trust makes available to shareholders a systematic investment program. The investments under the program will be drawn on or about the day of the month indicated by the shareholder. Any shareholder's privilege of making investments through the systematic investment program may be revoked by the Trust without prior notice if any investment by the shareholder is not honored by the shareholder's credit union or other financial institution. The program may be discontinued by the shareholder either by calling the Trust or upon written notice to the Trust which is received at least five (5) business days prior to the due date of any investment.

62

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

As explained in the prospectus, the Trust makes available to shareholders a systematic withdrawal program. Payments under this program represent proceeds arising from the redemption of fund shares. The maintenance of a systematic withdrawal program concurrently with purchases of additional shares of the fund could be disadvantageous to a shareholder because of the sales charges that may be imposed on new purchases. Therefore, a shareholder should not purchase shares of a fund at the same time as a systematic withdrawal program is in effect for such shareholder with respect to that fund. The Trust reserves the right to modify or discontinue the systematic withdrawal program for any shareholder on 30 days' prior written notice to such shareholder, or to discontinue the availability of such plan to all shareholders in the future. Any shareholder may terminate the program at any time by giving proper notice to the Trust.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE AND SYSTEMATIC EXCHANGE PROGRAM

As explained in the prospectus, within an account, you may exchange shares of one fund for shares of the same class of another fund subject to the minimum investment requirements of the fund purchased, without paying any additional sales charge. Class A shares of the CASH RESERVES FUND may be exchanged for Class B and Class C shares of other MEMBERS Funds for dollar cost averaging purposes. In certain circumstances you may be charged a 2% redemption fee on the value of the shares exchanged pursuant to the fund's redemption fee policy. With the exception of the CASH RESERVES FUND, only five (5) exchanges are allowed per fund in a calendar year. If you establish a systematic exchange program, those exchanges are not included in the exchange limit policy. Class B and Class C shares will continue to "age" from the date of original purchase of the Class B shares or Class C shares, respectively, and will retain the same CDSC rate as they had before the exchange.

The funds reserve the right to require that previously exchanged shares (and reinvested dividends) be in a fund for 90 days before an investor is permitted a new exchange. A fund may change its exchange policy at any time upon 60 days' notice to its shareholders. The Trust may refuse any exchange order.

As explained in the prospectus, the Trust makes available to shareholders a systematic exchange program. The Trust reserves the right to modify or discontinue the systematic exchange program for any shareholder on 30 days' prior written notice to such shareholder, or to discontinue the availability of such plan to all shareholders in the future. Any shareholder may terminate the program at any time by giving proper notice to the Trust.

REINSTATEMENT OR REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE

After fund shares have been redeemed, a shareholder has a one-time right to reinvest any part of the proceeds, subject to the minimum investment of the fund, within 90 days of the redemption, at the current NAV. This privilege must be requested in writing when the proceeds are sent to the Trust.

For shareholders who exercise this privilege after redeeming Class A shares, the proceeds may be reinvested in Class A shares without a sales charge in the same fund and account from which the redemption was made.

For shareholders who exercise this privilege after redeeming Class B shares or Class C shares and paying a CDSC on the redemption, the proceeds may be reinvested in Class A shares without a sales charge in the same fund and account from which the redemption was made. The account will not be credited with the CDSC paid. If Class B shares or Class C shares were redeemed and no CDSC was paid, the proceeds may be reinvested in Class B shares or Class C shares in the same fund and account, respectively, from which the redemption was made. The holding period of the shares purchased will be "aged" back to the original purchase date.

To protect the interests of other investors in the funds, the Trust may cancel the reinvestment privilege of any parties that, in the opinion of the Trust, are using market timing strategies or making more than five exchanges per owner or controlling party per calendar year above and beyond any systematic or automated exchanges. Also, the Trust may refuse any reinvestment request.

The Trust may change or cancel its reinvestment policies at any time.

63

A redemption or exchange of fund shares is a taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes even if the reinvestment privilege is exercised, and any gain or loss realized by a shareholder on the redemption or other disposition of fund shares will be treated for tax purposes as described under the "Distributions and Taxes" section, above.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, located at 111 S. Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, to perform the 2008 annual audits of the funds.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The funds' audited financial statements, including the schedules of investments, statements of assets and liabilities, statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and financial highlights included in the funds' 2007 annual report to shareholders, are incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the annual report may be obtained free of charge by writing to MEMBERS Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 8390, Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8390, or by calling 1-800-877-6089.

APPENDIX A - SUMMARY OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Each of the funds has adopted the proxy voting policies and procedures of its investment adviser, MEMBERS Capital Advisors, Inc. ("MCA"), and/or its respective subadviser: Shenkman Capital Management, Inc. ("SCM") in the case of the High Income Fund; Wellington Management Company, LLP ("Wellington Management") in the case of the Mid Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, and a portion of the Mid Cap Value Fund; Paradigm Asset Management Company, LLC ("Paradigm") in the case of the Small Cap Growth Fund; and Lazard Asset Management LLC ("Lazard") in the case of the International Stock Fund.

The proxy voting policies and procedures for MCA, SCM, Wellington Management, Paradigm and Lazard are found below, and collectively constitute the proxy voting policies and procedures of MEMBERS Mutual Funds, effective as of August 23, 2007.

MEMBERS CAPITAL ADVISORS, INC.
PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

MEMBERS Capital Advisors, Inc. (MCA) has approved the following proxy voting policies and procedures with respect to securities owned by MEMBERS Mutual Funds (MMF) and the Ultra Series Fund ((USF), and collectively with MMF, the "Trusts"), and held on behalf of accounts established on behalf of certain pension plan participants and beneficiaries, and other clients having assets under management with MCA (collectively, the "MCA Clients") for which such clients MCA serves as the investment adviser and for which MCA has the power to vote proxies.

These policies and procedures include:

- A centralized review, recommendation and voting procedure;

- Established guidelines for voting on proxy issues;

- A recordkeeping system to monitor proxies and votes; and

- A record retention and disclosure system.

POLICY STATEMENT

It is the policy of MCA and of each Trust that proxy voting decisions will be made in light of the anticipated impact of the vote on the desirability of maintaining an investment in the portfolio company from the viewpoint of the client, without regard to any interest by MCA or its affiliates' related to sales, distribution or other interests. As a matter of policy, MCA will not be influenced by outside sources whose interests conflict with the interest of the Trusts or other MCA Clients, and any conflict of interest will be resolved in the interest of MCA Clients or Trust shareholders.

With respect to the proxy voting function relative to the Trusts, each Trust's Board of Trustees has delegated this function to MCA, through the personnel and entities, as applicable, designated herein. In general, with respect to proxies to be voted on behalf of shareholders of any of the Trusts' sub-advised series, or portions of such series, MCA currently intends to delegate its voting responsibilities hereunder, such that that the respective sub-advisers of such series, or portions of such series, will vote such proxies in accordance with their own proxy voting policies and procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MCA reserves the right at any time to reassume the responsibility of voting proxies relative to one or more of the sub-advised portfolios of the Trusts. MCA currently intends to monitor, by requesting periodic certifications from each of the subadvisers, the voting of each of the sub-advisers to confirm consistency with each such sub-adviser's proxy voting policies and procedures and to seek assurance that conflicts of interest have been adequately monitored and resolved. The proxy voting policies and procedures of each of the sub-advisers will be presented annually to each Trust's Board of Trustees for its review and MCA will use reasonable efforts to ensure that each Trust's Board of Trustees is timely notified of such material changes thereto as the relevant sub-advisers have specifically brought to the attention of MCA, if, in MCA's judgment, such notification is necessary for the Board's fulfillment of its responsibilities hereunder.

In addition, it is MCA's general intention to vote proxies on behalf of its other MCA Clients also through the personnel and in the manner designated herein. However, MCA reserves the right to delegate the voting of such proxies to named subadvisers if its investment management services are delegated thereto with respect to accounts maintained by such clients.

MCA has retained the services of Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (ISS), which will include the provision for reference and use by MCA of its Proxy Voting Guideline Summary ("ISS Guidelines"), which contains in condensed form the policy guidelines set forth in ISS' Proxy Voting Manual, as well as the actual voting of any proxies.

The proxy voting guidelines referenced herein, including the ISS Guidelines, are intended only as guidelines. They are not exhaustive and do not include all potential voting issues. Because proxy issuances and the circumstances surrounding individual companies' proxies vary, there may be instances in which MCA may not vote in strict adherence to the guidelines specified herein. For example, MCA may become aware of proxy items that are company-specific and of a non-routine nature, and, although covered by the guidelines referenced herein, may be more appropriately handled on a case-by-case basis in a manner different from such guidelines.

REVIEW, RECOMMENDATION AND VOTING PROCEDURES

Nearly all proxies and related material received by MCA are transmitted electronically by ISS to MCA. ISS notifies MCA of the number of the shares beneficially owned and eligible to be voted by the Trusts, or other MCA Clients, as the case may be, which information it in turn obtains from the custodian of the issuer of such shares. Material to be transmitted to MCA by ISS will include such information, as well as proxy statements, and the issuer's explanation of the items to be voted upon.

The receipt of these materials by MCA will be logged into a database (the "Database") maintained by the Proxy Coordinator. After input into the Database, the Proxy Coordinator will then forward the materials to the appropriate Research Analyst of the Equity Investment Department, whose members are responsible for reviewing proxies.

A-1

Members of the Portfolio Management Team of MCA's Equity Investment Department, as part of the ongoing review and analysis of all portfolio holdings of the Trusts and of accounts established for MCA Clients, are responsible for monitoring significant corporate developments, including proxy proposals.

MCA's Proxy Committee will strive for consistency in the application of MCA's voting guidelines. The Proxy Committee will consist of three members of the Equity Investment Department, the Proxy Coordinator and the Proxy Reviewer.

To promote consistency in voting on the same or similar issues (for the same or for multiple issuers) across all client accounts, and to insulate MCA from influences exerted by firms' respective managements or by proxy solicitors, in general the Research Analysts will give strong consideration to the proxy voting guidelines of ISS in determining how to vote with respect to a given proxy. It is anticipated that, upon review of most proxies, the Research Analyst will, after referring to the ISS Guidelines, make a recommendation to the Proxy Coordinator as to how to instruct ISS to vote that is consistent with the recommendation contained in the ISS Guidelines.

MCA has currently appointed its Chief Compliance Officer as its Proxy Reviewer. In some instances, one or more members of the Portfolio Management Team may refer a proxy vote to the Proxy Reviewer for consideration, if, in the judgment of such member(s), the interests of Trust shareholders or other MCA Clients may warrant a vote contrary to the ISS Guidelines. In such cases, the Research Analyst will submit a written recommendation to the Proxy Reviewer and to any other persons who may be designated by MCA to assist in processing proxy referral items. The Proxy Reviewer, in making a determination as to a voting recommendation, will give serious consideration to the recommendation contained in the ISS Guidelines, but may also consider any other information relevant to the decision. In making a recommendation, the Proxy Reviewer may consult with or seek recommendations from one or more members of the Proxy Committee, the Portfolio Management Team, one or members of the Board of Trustees of a Trust (where the proxy to be voted is held by such Trust) or the full Board, as appropriate, or both. The Proxy Reviewer will ultimately determine the manner in which these proxies are to be voted. Upon making a determination as to how a particular proxy should be voted, the Proxy Reviewer shall communicate in writing such recommendation, including his or her rationale on items deemed significant in his or her judgment, to the Proxy Coordinator, the Proxy Committee, and the Research Analyst. Upon receipt of a final recommendation from the Proxy Reviewer, the Proxy Coordinator will forward voting instructions consistent with the Proxy Reviewer's recommendation to ISS. Upon receipt of voting instructions from MCA, ISS then will vote the proxies electronically in accordance with MCA's instructions.

VOTING GUIDELINES

GENERAL

As noted above, MCA's policy is that proxy voting decisions will be made in light of the anticipated impact of the vote on the desirability of maintaining an investment in the portfolio company from the viewpoint of the client, without regard to any interest by MCA or its affiliates' related to sales, distribution or other interests. MCA will not be influenced by outside sources whose interests conflict with the interest of clients, shareholders or plan participants and beneficiaries and any conflict of interest will be resolved in the interest of the investments on behalf of clients, Trust shareholders or other MCA Clients.

In MCA's view, proposals which are good for the issuer should be good for the shareholder as well, but an issuer's management's views must be assessed in this regard. When management acts on its own behalf, by limiting shareholder rights, instead of acting in the shareholders' best interests, it is MCA's responsibility to act in the shareholders' best interests, as it determines those interests. MCA's view of an issuer's management's primary responsibility is the maximization of the present value of the firm. Accordingly, as proposals in the area of corporate governance, capitalization changes, compensation programs and anti-takeover measures have increased in recent years, the circumstances under which it may be appropriate, in MCA's view, to vote against a particular issuer's management's recommendations have also increased.

As a general matter, MCA maintains a consistent voting position with respect to similar proxy proposals made by various firms. However, MCA recognizes that there are gradations in certain types of proposals (e.g., "poison pill" proposals or the potential dilution caused by the issuance of new stock) that may result in different voting positions being taken with respect to different proxy statements. Some items that are otherwise acceptable may be voted against if management is seeking extremely broad flexibility without offering a valid explanation. In addition, MCA generally recommends votes that are consistent on the same matter when securities of an issuer are held by multiple client accounts.

MCA intends to give significant weight and consideration to the recommendations on particular proxy matters covered in the ISS Guidelines, when determining its voting recommendation on similar matters. MCA anticipates that generally, upon receiving notice of a shareholder meeting and a proxy solicitation, the Proxy Coordinator shall recommend that the proxy be voted in accordance with the policy recommendation set forth in the ISS Guidelines with respect to a particular proxy measure.

In all cases, however, MCA reserves the right to substitute its own recommendation for the recommendation of ISS. Furthermore, if ISS notifies MCA that there is a conflict of interest, ISS will abstain from the vote and the Research Analyst will submit the vote according to ISS's guidelines.

THIRD PARTY VOTING GUIDELINES

On an annual basis, the Proxy Committee will review the ISS Guidelines as well as summaries of Proxy Voting Procedures from sub-advisers. The Committee will determine whether the ISS Guidelines conflict mitigation procedures are appropriate for MCA's clients. A copy of the ISS Guidelines is attached hereto as Exhibit A. MCA will also separately maintain copies, electronically or otherwise, of the proxy voting policies and procedures of any sub-adviser to whom it has delegated such duties in accordance herewith. In addition, a copy of ISS's Policy, Procedures and Practices Regarding Potential Conflicts of Interest is attached as Exhibit B hereto. Due to the physical separation of ISS Corporate Programs Division and ISS's proxy analysis operations, it is MCA's belief that the potential for conflicts of interest is significantly reduced.

MONITORING SYSTEM

It is the responsibility of each of Internal Audit and the MCA Compliance Department to monitor the proxy voting process to ensure that it is followed in accordance with the procedures contained herein. As noted above, when proxy materials for the Trusts or other MCA Clients are received, they are forwarded to the Proxy Coordinator who inputs an acknowledgment of receipt into the Database. Additionally, a record of the list of the Trusts and MCA Clients who hold shares of a company's stock, the number of shares held on the record date, the listing of any upcoming

A-2

shareholder's meeting of that company, the proxy statement, and any other proxy related materials transmitted by ISS and received by MCA will also be maintained in the Database, or on ISS' database, as appropriate. The Proxy Coordinator will reconcile the number of shares the client held on record date with the number of shares ISS is reporting that MCA has available to vote. The Coordinator shall investigate discrepancies in the number of shares available to vote with the clients' custodian. The Proxy Coordinator will make a note to the file with the reason for the discrepancy of shares unavailable to vote.

CONFLICTS

MCA recognizes that occasions may arise where a person or organization involved in the proxy voting process may have a conflict of interest with MCA, its personnel or its affiliates. A conflict of interest may exist, for example, if MCA management has a business relationship with (or is actively soliciting business from) either the company soliciting the proxy or a third party (including ISS) that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a particular outcome of a proxy vote.

MCA's Proxy Coordinator will request from the Chief Legal Officer at ISS a list of issuer relationships on a periodic basis, including the name of issuer, service provided and amount of compensation. This document will be reviewed by the Proxy Committee and maintained by the Proxy Coordinator. Upon ISS's issuance of proxy analysis and recommendations to MCA, ISS will confirm whether or not a conflict of interest exists. In the event of a conflict at ISS, the Research Analyst will vote the proxy according to ISS's standard guidelines which indicates that MCA's Portfolio Management Team has reviewed the analysis and has voted the proposals in the best interest of MCA's clients.

Furthermore, any MCA Portfolio Management Team member with knowledge of a personal conflict of interest (e.g., familiar relationship with company management) relating to a particular referral item shall disclose that conflict to the Proxy Committee and shall otherwise remove himself or herself from the proxy voting process. In such circumstance, the Proxy Reviewer will review the referred item as being subject to the conflict to determine if, in her judgment, a conflict of interest in fact exists, and will provide the Proxy Coordinator with a conflicts report ("Conflicts Report") for each such referral item. The Conflicts Report shall (1) describe any conflict of interest; (2) discuss the procedures used to address such conflict of interest; and (3) disclose any contacts from parties outside MCA management (other than routine communications with proxy solicitors) with respect to the referral item not otherwise reported in an investment professional's recommendation. The Conflicts Report will also include written confirmation that any recommendation from an investment professional provided under circumstances where a conflict of interest exists was made solely on the investment merits and without regard to any other consideration.

In the event that the Proxy Reviewer has determined, with respect to a particular proxy item, that a conflict of interest exists or potentially exists, then, in most circumstances, the Proxy Reviewer will submit a recommendation to the Proxy Coordinator to vote the proxy in accordance with the ISS Guideline applicable to the particular category of proxy item. In the event, however, that the Proxy Reviewer has determined that, notwithstanding the existence of an actual or potential conflict, a proxy vote in accordance with the particular ISS Guideline applicable to such category of proxy item would be inconsistent with the interest of a Trust's shareholders or other MCA Client, then, the Proxy Reviewer may elect to recommend that the Proxy Coordinator submit to ISS instructions to abstain from the proxy vote, or, may present the possible conflict to the Proxy Committee, one or members of the Board of Trustees of a Trust (where the proxy to be voted is held by such Trust) or the full Board, as appropriate, or both for resolution and a determination of a voting recommendation.

In reviewing the adequacy of proxy voting policies and procedures provided by the sub-advisers to the Trusts, the Proxy Committee will evaluate the extent to which pre-determined procedures for the resolution of conflicts of interest have been established and the extent to which each sub-adviser has limited discretion in making a proxy voting decision in the event of a conflict of interest, or other mechanism to ensure that any decision with respect to a proposal representing a conflict between the interest of a sub-adviser and the Trust would be effectively insulated from the conflict.

MCA recognizes that there may be instances where the responsibility for voting proxies with respect to a single security is vested in two or more sub-advisers (e.g., when more than one series, or two managed portions of the same series, hold voting securities of a single issuer). Under these circumstances, there is the possibility that the application of relevant proxy voting policies will result in proxies being voted inconsistently. It is MCA's position that such circumstances will not be deemed to suggest improper action on the part of any sub-adviser, and that neither MCA nor the Trusts will be required to take any action with respect to such instances, in the absence of other compelling factors that would necessitate such action.

AVAILABILITY OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO PUBLIC

MCA will make the proxy voting policies and procedures contained herein available by disclosing the same, or causing the same to be disclosed: (1) with respect to the Trusts, in each Trust's Statement of Additional Information contained within its currently effective Registration Statement on Form N-1A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), (2) with respect to the Trusts, on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, (3) with respect to MCA Clients other than the Trusts, by providing a summary of the policies and procedures contained herein in Part II of its Form ADV, together with instructions to such clients concerning how they may obtain a copy of these policies and procedures free of charge, and (4) by providing, upon request received through the applicable Trust's then-existing toll free number (currently 1-800-877-6089 for MMF and 1-800-798-5500 for USF) or, with respect to other MCA Clients, through MCA's then-existing toll free number (currently 1-800-356-2644 ext. 6111), a written copy of these policies and procedures.

DISCLOSURE OF TRUSTS' PROXY VOTING RECORDS

Pursuant to Rule 30b1-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, each of the Trusts will make a filing with the SEC on Form N-PX, containing the Trust's complete proxy voting record for the twelve-month period ended June 30, by no later than August 31 of each year. Each Trust's filing on Form N-PX will be signed by the respective Trust and on behalf of the respective Trust by its principal executive officer(s).

Each Trust's annual Form N-PX filing shall disclose, for each matter relating to a portfolio security considered at any shareholder meeting held during the period covered by the report and with respect to which the Trust was entitled to vote: (1) the name of the issuer of the portfolio security; (2) the exchange ticker symbol of the portfolio security; (3) the CUSIP number for the security;
(4) the shareholder meeting date; (5) a brief

A-3

identification of the matter voted on; (6) whether the matter was proposed by the issuer or by a security holder; (7) whether the Trust cast its vote on the matter; (8) how the Trust voted; and (9) whether the Trust cast its vote for or against management.

In addition, each of the Trusts shall make its proxy voting record available (1) to the public, by disclosing its proxy voting record, as reflected in its most recent Form N-PX filing with the SEC, on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, and
(2) to its investors of MMF through its website at www.membersfunds.com and for USF beneficial owners by calling CUNA Mutual Life Insurance Company at 1-800-798-5500. With respect to other MCA Clients, MCA shall make its proxy voting record available by disclosing, in Part II of its Form ADV filing, that such clients may request information on how their securities were voted by calling MCA's then-existing toll free number (currently 1-800-356-2644 ext. 6111) and requesting such information.

RECORD RETENTION AND REPORTS

Electronic copies of all proxy solicitation materials received by MCA, all supporting documentation underlying MCA's proxy voting recommendations, and all communications regarding such proxies to and from ISS, including the dates when proxy notifications were received and voting recommendations returned to ISS, and the votes on each issuer's proxies, are maintained by the Proxy Coordinator. All such records are retained for six years; the first two years must be in a readily accessible place in the offices of MCA.

Generally, MCA will not divulge actual voting practices to any party other than to a Trust or another MCA Client or its recognized representatives (or an appropriate governmental agency) because such information is considered confidential and proprietary to the client.

On an annual basis, the Proxy Coordinator will provide a report to the MCA Chief Compliance Officer concerning those votes cast during the reporting period against ISS's recommendation on the proxy statements of companies whose shares were held by the Trusts and other MCA Clients, and any conflicts that arose with respect to proxies voted during the period and how such conflicts were handled.

Vote AGAINST shareholder proposals to change the date/time/location of the annual meeting unless the current scheduling or location is unreasonable.

RATIFYING AUDITORS

Vote FOR proposals to ratify auditors, unless any of the following apply: an auditor has a financial interest in or association with the company, and is therefore not independent; fees for non-audit services are excessive, or there is reason to believe that the independent auditor has rendered an opinion which is neither accurate nor indicative of the company's financial position.

Vote CASE-BY-CASE on shareholder proposals asking companies to prohibit or limit their auditors from engaging in non-audit services.

Vote FOR shareholder proposals asking for audit firm rotation, unless the rotation period is so short (less than five years) that it would be unduly burdensome to the company.

TRANSACT OTHER BUSINESS

Vote AGAINST proposals to approve other business when it appears as voting item.

2. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

VOTING ON DIRECTOR NOMINEES IN UNCONTESTED ELECTIONS

Votes on director nominees should be made on a CASE-BY-CASE basis, examining the following factors: composition of the board and key board committees, attendance at board meetings, corporate governance provisions and takeover activity, long-term company performance relative to a market index, directors' investment in the company, whether the chairman is also serving as CEO, and whether a retired CEO sits on the board. However, there are some actions by directors that should result in votes being withheld. These instances include directors who:
Attend less than 75 percent of the board and committee meetings without a valid excuse; implement or renew a dead-hand or modified dead-hand poison pill; ignore a shareholder proposal that is approved by a majority of the shares outstanding; ignore a shareholder proposal that is approved by a majority of the votes cast for two consecutive years; failed to act on takeover offers where the majority of the shareholders tendered their shares; are inside directors or affiliated outsiders and sit on the audit, compensation, or nominating committees; are inside directors or affiliated outsiders and the full board serves as the audit, compensation, or nominating committee or the company does not have one of these committees; are audit committee members and the non-audit fees paid to the

A-4

auditor are excessive. In addition, directors who enacted egregious corporate governance policies or failed to replace management as appropriate would be subject to recommendations to withhold votes.

AGE LIMITS

Vote AGAINST shareholder proposals to impose a mandatory retirement age for outside directors.

BOARD SIZE

Vote FOR proposals seeking to fix the board size or designate a range for the board size. Vote AGAINST proposals that give management the ability to alter the size of the board outside of a specified range without shareholder approval.

Vote FOR proposals to repeal classified boards and to elect all directors annually.

CUMULATIVE VOTING

Vote AGAINST proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.

Vote proposals to restore or permit cumulative voting on a CASE-BY-CASE basis relative to the company's other governance provisions.

DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY PROTECTION

Proposals on director and officer indemnification and liability protection should be evaluated on a CASE-BY-CASE basis, using Delaware law as the standard.

Vote AGAINST proposals to eliminate entirely directors' and officers' liability for monetary damages for violating the duty of care.

Vote AGAINST indemnification proposals that would expand coverage beyond just legal expenses to acts, such as negligence, that are more serious violations of fiduciary obligation than mere carelessness.

Vote FOR only those proposals providing such expanded coverage in cases when a director's or officer's legal defense was unsuccessful if both of the following apply: the director was found to have acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed was in the best interests of the company, and only if the director's legal expenses would be covered.

ESTABLISH/AMEND NOMINEE QUALIFICATIONS

Vote CASE-BY-CASE on proposals that establish or amend director qualifications.

Votes should be based on how reasonable the criteria are and to what degree they may preclude dissident nominees from joining the board.

Vote AGAINST proposals that provide that directors may be removed only for cause.

Vote FOR proposals to restore shareholder ability to remove directors with or without cause.

Vote AGAINST proposals that provide that only continuing directors may elect replacements to fill board vacancies.

Vote FOR proposals that permit shareholders to elect directors to fill board vacancies.

INDEPENDENT CHAIRMAN (SEPARATE CHAIRMAN/CEO)

Vote on a CASE-BY-CASE basis shareholder proposals requiring that the positions of chairman and CEO be held separately. Because some companies have governance structures in place that counterbalance a combined position, the following factors should be taken into account in determining whether the proposal warrants support: Designated lead director appointed from the ranks of the independent board members with clearly delineated duties; majority of independent directors on board; all-independent key committees; committee chairpersons nominated by the independent directors; CEO performance reviewed annually by a committee of outside directors; established governance guidelines; company performance.

MAJORITY OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS/ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMITTEES

Vote FOR shareholder proposals asking that a majority or more of directors be independent unless the board composition already meets the proposed threshold by ISS's definition of independence.

Vote FOR shareholder proposals asking that board audit, compensation, and/or nominating committees be composed exclusively of independent directors if they currently do not meet that standard.

STOCK OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

Generally vote AGAINST shareholder proposals that mandate a minimum amount of stock that directors must own in order to qualify as a director or to remain on the board. While ISS favors stock ownership on the part of directors, the company should determine the appropriate ownership requirement.

TERM LIMITS

Vote AGAINST shareholder proposals to limit the tenure of outside directors.

3. PROXY CONTESTS

VOTING FOR DIRECTOR NOMINEES IN CONTESTED ELECTIONS

Votes in a contested election of directors must be evaluated on a CASE-BY-CASE basis, considering the following factors: Long-term financial performance of the target company relative to its industry; management's track record; background to the proxy contest; qualifications of director nominees (both slates); evaluation of what each side is offering shareholders as well as the likelihood that the proposed objectives and goals can be met; and stock ownership positions.

REIMBURSING PROXY SOLICITATION EXPENSES

Voting to reimburse proxy solicitation expenses should be analyzed on a CASE-BY-CASE basis. In cases where ISS recommends in favor of the dissidents, we also recommend voting for reimbursing proxy solicitation expenses.

CONFIDENTIAL VOTING

Vote FOR shareholder proposals requesting that corporations adopt confidential voting, use independent vote tabulators and use independent inspectors of election, as long as the proposal includes a provision for proxy contests as follows: In the case of a contested election, management should be permitted to request that the dissident group honor its confidential voting policy. If the dissidents agree, the policy remains in place. If the dissidents will not agree, the confidential voting policy is waived.

Vote FOR management proposals to adopt confidential voting.

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Votes on proposals regarding conversion of securities are determined on a CASE-BYCASE basis. When evaluating these proposals the investor should review the dilution to existing shareholders, the conversion price relative to market value, financial issues, control issues, termination penalties, and conflicts of interest.

ISSUE STOCK FOR USE WITH RIGHTS PLAN

Vote AGAINST proposals that increase authorized common stock for the explicit purpose of implementing a shareholder rights plan (poison pill).

8. EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Votes with respect to compensation plans should be determined on a CASE-BY-CASE basis. Our methodology for reviewing compensation plans primarily focuses on the transfer of shareholder wealth (the dollar cost of pay plans to shareholders instead of simply focusing on voting power dilution). Using the expanded compensation data disclosed under the SEC's rules, ISS will value every award type. ISS will include in its analyses an estimated dollar cost for the proposed plan and all continuing plans. This cost, dilution to shareholders' equity, will also be expressed as a percentage figure for the transfer of shareholder wealth, and will be considered long with dilution to voting power.

Once ISS determines the estimated cost of the plan, we compare it to a company-specific dilution cap. Our model determines a company-specific allowable pool of shareholder wealth that may be transferred from the company to executives, adjusted for: Long-term corporate performance (on an absolute basis and relative to a standard industry peer group and an appropriate market index); cash compensation; and categorization of the company as emerging, growth, or mature. These adjustments are pegged to market capitalization. ISS will continue to examine other features of proposed pay plans such as administration, payment terms, plan duration, and whether the administering committee is permitted to reprice underwater stock options without shareholder approval.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Votes on compensation plans for directors are determined on a CASE-BY-CASE basis, using a proprietary, quantitative model developed by ISS.

A-9

Vote AGAINST proposals seeking a report on the health and environmental effects of GMOs and the company's strategy for phasing out GMOs in the event they become illegal in the United States. Studies of this sort are better undertaken by regulators and the scientific community. If made illegal in the United States, genetically modified crops would automatically be recalled and phased out.

HANDGUNS

Generally vote AGAINST requests for reports on a company's policies aimed at curtailing gun violence in the United States unless the report is confined to product safety information. Criminal misuse of firearms is beyond company control and instead falls within the purview of law enforcement agencies.

Vote AGAINST proposals to report or publish in newspapers the company's political contributions. Federal and state laws restrict the amount of corporate contributions and include reporting requirements.

Vote AGAINST proposals disallowing the company from making political contributions. Businesses are affected by legislation at the federal, state, and local level and barring contributions can put the company at a competitive disadvantage.

SHENKMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
PROXY VOTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES

Set forth below are the policies and procedures of Shenkman Capital Management, Inc. ("SCM") with respect to proxy voting. This statement does not attempt to describe every regulatory and compliance requirement applicable to proxy voting, but rather summarizes some of the issues involved and establishes general rules and procedures. Although this statement expressly addresses proxy voting, the policies and procedures set forth herein apply to any solicitation of votes with respect to securities held in a fully discretionary client account, such as, for example, the solicitation of the consent of the holders of fixed income securities to a proposed restructuring.

I. POLICY

Proxy voting is an important right of shareholders and reasonable care and diligence must be undertaken to ensure that such rights are properly and timely exercised. When SCM has discretion to vote the proxies of its clients, it will vote those proxies in the best interest of its clients and in accordance with this statement.

II. PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES

(a) SCM will instruct each custodian for a discretionary client account to deliver to SCM all proxy solicitation materials received with respect to the account. SCM will review the securities held in its discretionary client accounts on a regular basis to confirm that it receives copies of all proxy solicitation materials concerning such securities. SCM will vote all proxies on behalf of discretionary client accounts after carefully considering all proxy solicitation materials and other information and facts it deems relevant. A Portfolio Manager will make all voting decisions on behalf of a

A-13

discretionary client account based solely on his/her determination of the best interests of that account. SCM will use reasonable efforts to respond to each proxy solicitation by the deadline for such response.

(b) All proxies received by SCM will be sent to the Portfolio Administration Department for processing as follows:

(1) Maintain a record of each proxy received;

(2) Determine which accounts managed by SCM hold the security to which the proxy relates;

(3) Forward the proxy to a Portfolio Manager together with a list of accounts that hold the security, the number of votes each account controls (reconciling any duplications), and the date by which SCM must vote the proxy in order to allow enough time for the completed proxy to be returned to the issuer via the custodian prior to the vote taking place.

(4) Absent material conflicts (see Section IV), a Portfolio Manager will determine how SCM should vote the proxy. The Portfolio Manager will send its decision on how SCM will vote a proxy to the Portfolio Administration Department, which will be responsible for making sure the proxy has been completed and returning it to issuer and/or the custodian in a timely and appropriate manner. SCM's General Counsel shall monitor the firm's processing of proxy statements to assure that all proxy statements are handled and processed in accordance with this statement. The General Counsel will designate one or more team members of the firm to be responsible for insuring that all proxy statements are received and that SCM responds to them in a timely manner.

III. VOTING GUIDELINES

SCM will review all proxy solicitation materials it receives concerning securities held in a discretionary client account. SCM will evaluate all such information and may seek additional information from the party soliciting the proxy and independent corroboration of such information when SCM considers it appropriate and when it is reasonably available.

In the absence of specific voting guidelines from the client, SCM will vote proxies in the best interests of each particular client, which may result in different voting results for proxies for the same issuer. SCM believes that voting proxies in accordance with the following guidelines is in the best interests of its clients. Generally, SCM will vote FOR a proposal when it believes that the proposal serves the best interests of the discretionary client account whose proxy is solicited because, on balance, the following factors predominate:

(i) the proposal has a positive economic effect on shareholder value;

(ii) the proposal poses no threat to existing rights of shareholders;

(iii) the dilution, if any, of existing shares that would result from approval of the proposal is warranted by the benefits of the proposal; and

(iv) the proposal does not limit or impair accountability to shareholders on the part of management and the board of directors.

Generally, SCM will vote AGAINST a proposal if it believes that, on balance, the following factors predominate:

(i) the proposal has an adverse economic effect on shareholder value;

(ii) the proposal limits the rights of shareholders in a manner or to an extent that is not warranted by the benefits of the proposal;

(iii) the proposal causes significant dilution of shares that is not warranted by the benefits of the proposal;

(iv) the proposal limits or impairs accountability to the shareholders on the part of management or the board of directors; or

(v) the proposal is a shareholder initiative that SCM believes wastes time and resources of the company or reflects the grievance of one individual.

SCM will ABSTAIN from voting proxies when it believes that it is appropriate. Usually, this occurs when SCM believes that a proposal will not have a material effect on the investment strategy it pursues for its discretionary client accounts.

IV. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Due to the size and nature of SCM's operations and its limited affiliations in the securities industry, SCM does not expect that material conflicts of interest will arise between it and a discretionary client account over proxy voting. SCM recognizes, however, that such conflicts may arise from time to time, such as, for example, when SCM or one of its affiliates has a business arrangement that could be affected by the outcome of a proxy vote or has a personal or business relationship with a person seeking appointment or re-appointment as a director of a company. If a material conflict of interest arises, SCM will determine whether voting in accordance with the voting guidelines and factors described above is in the best interests of the client.

Under no circumstances will SCM place its own interests ahead of the interests of its discretionary client accounts in voting proxies.

If SCM determines that the proxy voting policies do not adequately address a material conflict or interest related to a proxy, SCM will provide the affected client with copies of all proxy solicitation materials received by SCM with respect to that proxy, notify that client of the actual or potential conflict of interest, and of SCM's intended response to the proxy request (which response will be in accordance with the policies set forth in this statement), and request that the client consent to SCM's intended response. If the client consents to SCM's intended response or fails to respond to the notice within a reasonable period of time specified in the notice, SCM will vote the proxy as described in the notice. If the client objects to SCM's intended response; SCM will vote the proxy as directed by the client.

V. DISCLOSURE

(a) SCM will disclose in its Form ADV, Part II that clients may contact SCM (via e-mail or telephone) in order to obtain information on how SCM voted such client's proxies, and to request a copy of this statement. If a client requests this information, SCM will prepare a written response to the client that lists, with respect to each voted proxy that the client has inquired about: (i) the name of the issuer; (ii) the proposal voted upon, and (iii) how SCM voted the client's proxy.

(b) A concise summary of this statement will be included in SCM's Form ADV, Part II, and will be updated whenever these policies and procedures are updated. SCM will arrange for a copy of this summary to be sent to all existing clients as part of its annual distribution of its Form ADV, Part II.

A-14

V. RECORDKEEPING

SCM will maintain files relating to its proxy voting procedures in an easily accessible place. Records will be maintained and preserved for five years from the end of the fiscal year during which the last entry was made on a record, with records for the first two years kept in the offices of SCM. Records of the following will be included in the files:

(a) Copies of these proxy voting policies and procedures, and any amendments thereto.

(b) A copy of each proxy statement that it receives; provided, however, that SCM may rely on obtaining a copy of proxy statements from the SEC's EDGAR system for those proxy statements that are so available.

(c) A record of each vote that SCM casts.

(d) A copy of any document SCM created that was material to making a decision how to vote proxies, or that memorializes that decision.

(e) A copy of each written client request for information on how SCM voted such client's proxies, and a copy of any written response to any (written or oral) client request for information on how SCM voted its proxies.

WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLP
GLOBAL PROXY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION

The Funds for which Wellington Management Company LLP ('Wellington Management") serves as sub-adviser have granted to Wellington Management the authority to vote proxies on their behalf with respect to the assets managed by Wellington Management. Wellington Management votes proxies in what it believes are the best economic interests of its clients and in accordance with its Proxy Policies and Procedures. Wellington Management's Corporate Governance committee is responsible for the review and oversight of the firm's Global Proxy Policies and Procedures. The Corporate Governance Group within Wellington Management's Corporate Operations Department is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the proxy voting process. Although Wellington Management may utilize the services of various external resources in analyzing proxy issues and has established its own Proxy Guidelines setting forth general guidelines for voting proxies, Wellington Management personnel analyze all proxies and vote proxies based on their assessment of the merits of each proposal. Each Fund's portfolio manager has the authority to determine the final vote for securities held in the Fund, unless the portfolio manager is determined to have a material conflict of interest related to that proxy vote.

Wellington Management maintains procedures designed to identify and address material conflicts of interest in voting proxies. Its Corporate Governance Committee sets standards for identifying materials conflicts based on client, vendor and lender relationships. Proxy votes for which Wellington Management identifies a material conflict are reviewed by designated members of its Corporate Governance Committee or by the entire committee in some cases to resolve the conflict and direct the vote.

Wellington Management may be unable to vote or may determine not to vote a proxy on behalf of a Fund due to securities lending, share blocking and re-registration requirements, lack of adequate information, untimely receipt of proxy materials, immaterial impact of the vote, and/or excessive costs.

PARADIGM ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC
PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Paradigm Asset Management Company, LLC. ("Adviser") provides investment advisory services to a private investment fund and managed accounts, and invests the assets of the fund and accounts in securities issued by public issuers. The Adviser has authority to vote proxies relating to such securities on behalf of the fund and accounts it manages.

I. GENERAL POLICY

The general policy is to vote proxy proposals, amendments, consents or resolutions relating to client securities, including interests in private investment funds, if any, (collectively, "proxies"), in a manner that serves the best interests of the fund and accounts managed by the Adviser, as determined by the Adviser in its discretion, taking into account relevant factors, including, but not limited to:

A. the impact on the value of the securities;

B. the anticipated costs and benefits associated with the proposal;

C. the effect on liquidity; and

D. customary industry and business practices.

II. PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

A. Adviser has determined that, except as set forth below, proxies will be voted in accordance with the voting recommendations contained in the applicable domestic or global Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") Proxy Voting Manual, as in effect from time to time. A summary of the current applicable ISS proxy voting guidelines is attached to these Voting Policies and Procedures as Exhibit A.

B. In the event the foregoing proxy voting guidelines do not address how a proxy should be voted, the proxy will be voted in accordance with ISS recommendations. In the event that ISS refrains from making a recommendation the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") in

A-15

consultation with the portfolio manager ("PM") covering the subject security shall vote the proxy consistent with the general principles of these Policies and Procedures and in the client's best interest, provided that the CCO and PM determines that there is no material conflict of interest between Adviser and the client or clients with respect to the voting of the proxy.

C. There may be circumstances under which the portfolio manager or other investment professional ("Investment Professional") believes that it is in the best interest of a client or clients to vote proxies in a manner inconsistent with the foregoing proxy voting guidelines or in a manner inconsistent with ISS recommendations. Departures from these policies and procedures are expected to be rare but in such events Adviser will maintain a record supporting such a vote.

III. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

A. Adviser has obtained a copy of ISS Policies, Procedures and Practices regarding potential conflicts of interest that could arise in ISS proxy voting services to Adviser as a result of business conducted by ISS. Adviser believes that potential conflicts of interest by ISS are minimized by these Policies, Procedures and Practices.

B. Adviser will vote proxies in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines described in Section 3 or as ISS recommends, Adviser believes that this process is reasonably designed to address material conflicts of interest that may arise between Adviser and a client as to how proxies are voted.

C. In the unusual circumstance that (i) an Investment Professional believes it is in the best interest of a client or clients to vote proxies in a manner inconsistent with the proxy voting guidelines described in Section 3 or in a manner inconsistent with ISS recommendations, or (ii) the proxy voting guidelines described in Section 3 do not address how a proxy should be voted, the CCO and PM will review the proxy and assess the extent to which there may be a material conflict of interest between Adviser and the client or clients.

In the event that the CCO and PM determine that the voting of a proxy as recommended by the Investment Professional presents a material conflict of interest between Adviser and the client or clients, Adviser shall: (i) in cases where ISS had made a recommendation, take no further action, in which case ISS shall vote such proxy in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines described in Section 3 or as ISS recommends; (ii) disclose such conflict to the client or clients and obtain written direction from the client as to how to vote the proxy; (iii) suggest that the client or clients engage another party to determine how to vote the proxy; or (iv) engage another independent third party to determine how to vote the proxy.

D. Material conflicts cannot be resolved by simply abstaining from voting.

IV. RECORDKEEPING

Adviser will maintain records relating to the implementation of these proxy voting policies and procedures, including:

(1) a copy of these policies and procedures which shall be made available to clients, upon request;

(2) proxy statements received regarding client securities (which will be satisfied by relying on EDGAR or ISS);

(3) a record of each vote cast (which ISS maintains on Adviser's behalf);

(4) a copy of any document created by Adviser that was material to making a decision as to how to vote a proxy on behalf of a client or that memorializes the basis for that decision; and

(5) each written client request for proxy voting records and Adviser's written response to any client request (written or oral) for such records.

Such proxy voting books and records shall be maintained in an easily accessible place for a period of five years.

EXHIBIT A - PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

Please see Exhibit A to MEMBERS Capital Advisors' policy.

LAZARD ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC
PROXY VOTING POLICY & PROCEDURES

POLICY:

As a fiduciary, LAM is obligated to vote proxies in the best interests of its clients. LAM has adopted a written policy (the "Policy") that is designed to ensure that it satisfies its fiduciary obligation. LAM has developed a structure to attempt to ensure that proxy voting is conducted in an appropriate manner, consistent with clients' best interests, and within the framework of the Policy.

A-16

LAM manages assets for a variety of clients, including individuals, Taft-Hartley plans, governmental plans, foundations and endowments, corporations, investment companies and other collective investment vehicles. Absent specific guidelines provided by a client, LAM's policy is to vote proxies on a given issue the same for all of its clients. The Policy is based on the view that, in its role as investment adviser, LAM must vote proxies based on what it believes will maximize shareholder value as a long-term investor, and that the votes it casts on behalf of all its clients are intended to accomplish that objective.

PROCEDURES:

Administration and Implementation of Proxy Voting Process. LAM's proxy-voting process is administered by its Proxy Operations Department ("ProxyOps"), which reports to LAM's Chief Operating Officer. Oversight of the process is provided by LAM's Legal/Compliance Department and by a Proxy Committee consisting of senior LAM officers. To assist it in its proxy-voting responsibilities, LAM currently subscribes to several research and other proxy-related services offered by Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. ("ISS"), one of the world's largest providers of proxy-voting services. ISS provides LAM with its independent analysis and recommendation regarding virtually every proxy proposal that LAM votes on behalf of its clients, with respect to both U.S. and non-U.S. securities.

LAM's Proxy Committee has approved specific proxy voting guidelines regarding the most common proxy proposals (the "Approved Guidelines"). These Approved Guidelines provide that LAM should vote for or against the proposal, or that the proposal should be considered on a case-by-case basis. LAM believes that its portfolio managers and global research analysts with knowledge of the company ("Portfolio Management") are in the best position to evaluate the impact that the outcome of a given proposal will have on long-term shareholder value. Therefore, ProxyOps seeks Portfolio Management's recommendation on all proposals to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio Management is also given the opportunity to review all proposals (other than routine proposals) where the Approved Guideline is to vote for or against, and, in compelling circumstances, to overrule the Approved Guideline, subject to the Proxy Committee's final determination. The Manager of ProxyOps may also consult with LAM's Chief Compliance Officer or the Proxy Committee concerning any proxy agenda or proposal.

Types of Proposals. Shareholders receive proxies involving many different proposals. Many proposals are routine in nature, such as a non-controversial election of Directors or a change in a company's name. Other proposals are more complicated, such as items regarding corporate governance and shareholder rights, changes to capital structure, stock option plans and other executive compensation issues, mergers and other significant transactions and social or political issues. The Policy lists the Approved Guidelines for the most common proposals. New or unusual proposals may be presented from time to time. Such proposals will be presented to Portfolio Management and discussed with the Proxy Committee to determine how they should be voted, and an Approved Guideline will be adopted if appropriate.

Conflicts of Interest. The Policy recognizes that there may be times when meeting agendas or proposals create the appearance of a material conflict of interest for LAM. Should the appearance of such a conflict exist, LAM will seek to alleviate the conflict by voting consistent with an Approved Guideline (to vote for or against), or, in situations where the Approved Guideline is to vote case-by-case, with the recommendation of an independent source, currently Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"). If the recommendations of the two services offered by ISS, the Proxy Advisor Service and the Proxy Voter Service, are not the same, LAM will obtain a recommendation from a third independent source that provides proxy voting advisory services, and will defer to the majority recommendation. If a third independent source is not available, LAM will follow the recommendation of ISS's Proxy Advisor Service.

Funds. Each Fund is required to file a Form N-PX by August 31 each year containing a complete proxy voting record of the Fund for the twelve-month period ended the previous June 30. LAM's Proxy Operations team is responsible for maintaining the data necessary to complete this form and to work, in conjunction with ISS, to generate the required information and to file this form annually. In addition, in the Fund's annual and semi-annual report to shareholders and in its Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"), the Fund must include a statement indicating how to obtain the proxy voting record of the Fund for the most recent twelve month period and that such record is available without charge. It should also indicate that such information is available on the SEC's website. The Legal/Compliance Department is responsible for ensuring that such information is included in the annual and semi-annual reports and in the SAI.

ITEM 25. INDEMNIFICATION

As a Delaware statutory trust, Registrant's operations are governed by its Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated November 30, 2006 (the "Declaration of Trust"). Generally, Delaware statutory trust shareholders are not personally liable for obligations of the Delaware statutory trust under Delaware law. The Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the "DSTA") provides that a shareholder of a trust shall be entitled to the same limitation of liability extended to shareholders of private for-profit Delaware corporations. Registrant's Declaration of Trust expressly provides that it has been organized under the DSTA and that the Declaration of Trust is to be governed by Delaware law. It is nevertheless possible that a Delaware statutory trust, such as Registrant, might become a party to an action in another state whose courts refuse to apply Delaware law, in which case Registrant's shareholders could be subject to personal liability.

To protect Registrant's shareholders against the risk of personal liability, the Declaration of Trust: (i) contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of Registrant and provides that notice of such disclaimer may be given in each agreement, obligation and instrument entered into or executed by Registrant or its Trustees; (ii) provides for the indemnification out of Trust property of any shareholders held personally liable for any obligations of Registrant or any series of Registrant; and (iii) provides that Registrant shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of Registrant and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his or her investment because of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which all of the following factors are present: (i) a court refuses to apply Delaware law; (ii) the liability arose under tort law or, if not, no contractual limitation of liability was in effect; and (iii) Registrant itself would be unable to meet its obligations. In the light of Delaware law, the nature of Registrant's business and the nature of its assets, the risk of personal liability to a shareholder is remote.

The Declaration of Trust further provides that Registrant shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses reasonably incurred by them, in connection with, or arising out of, any action, suit or proceeding, threatened against or otherwise involving such Trustee or officer, directly or indirectly, by reason of being or having been a Trustee or officer of Registrant. The Declaration of Trust does not authorize Registrant to indemnify any Trustee or officer against any liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of or for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of such person's duties.

Registrant also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance for the benefit of Registrant's trustees and officers. Such persons are also covered under liability insurance policies of affiliates of Registrant.

Pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), Registrant furnishes the following undertaking: Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of Registrant, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,

C-6

therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 26. BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER

The investment adviser for Registrant is MEMBERS Capital Advisors, Inc. ("MCA"). See the section in Part A entitled "Investment Adviser" for a more complete description.

To the best of Registrant's knowledge, none of the officers and directors of MCA is or has been engaged in any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature for the past two fiscal years, except as noted below:

The representative shall be entitled to the same rights as the decedent under this Trust.

SECTION 4.4.5. TITLE TO TRUST; RIGHT TO ACCOUNTING. Ownership of Shares shall not entitle the Shareholder to any title in or to the whole or any part of the Trust property or right to call for a partition or division of the same or for an accounting.

Shareholders shall not, as Shareholders, have any right to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any Shares or other securities of the Trust which it may hereafter issue or sell, other than such right, if any, as the Trustees in their discretion may determine. Shareholders shall have no appraisal rights with respect to their Shares and, except as otherwise determined by resolution of the Trustees in their sole discretion, shall have no exchange or conversion rights with respect to their Shares. No action may be brought by a Shareholder on behalf of the Trust unless Shareholders owning no less than a majority of the then outstanding Shares, or Series or Class thereof, join in the bringing of such action. A Shareholder shall not be entitled to participate in a derivative or class action lawsuit on behalf of any other Series or any other Class or on behalf of the Shareholders in any other Series or any other Class of the Trust than the Series or Class of Shares owned by such Shareholder.

SECTION 4.9. SERIES AND CLASSES OF SHARES.

SECTION 4.91. GENERALLY. In addition to the Series and Classes established and designated in Section 4.9.2, the Shares of the Trust shall be divided into one or more separate and distinct Series or Classes of a Series as the Trustees shall from time to time establish and designate.

SECTION 4.9.2. ESTABLISHMENT AND DESIGNATION. The Trustees shall have exclusive power without the requirement of Shareholder approval to establish and designate separate and distinct Series of Shares and with respect to any Series of Shares, to establish and designate separate and distinct Classes of Shares. The establishment and designation of any Series (in addition to those established and designated in this Section below) or Class shall be effective upon the execution by a majority of the Trustees of an instrument setting forth such establishment and designation and the relative rights and preferences of the Shares of such Series or Class, or as otherwise provided in such instrument. Each such instrument shall have the status of an amendment to this Declaration of Trust. Without limiting the authority of the Trustees to establish and designate any further Series or Classes, the Trustees hereby establish and designate the following Series and Classes of Shares:

SECTION 4.9.4. SEPARATE AND DISTINCT NATURE. Each Series and Class, including without limitation Series and Classes specifically established in
Section 4.9.2, shall be separate and distinct from any other Series and Class and shall maintain separate and distinct records on the books of the Trust, and the assets belonging to any such Series and Class shall be held and accounted for separately from the assets of the Trust or any other Series and Class.

SECTION 4.9.5. RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES OF SERIES. The Trustees shall have exclusive power without the requirement of Shareholder approval to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences as between the Shares of the separate Series. The initial Series and any further Series that may from time to time be established and designated by the Trustees shall (unless the Trustees otherwise determine with respect to some further Series at the time of establishing and designating the same) have relative rights and preferences as set forth in this Section 4.9.5, subject to the relative rights and preferences of Classes within each such Series as set forth in Section 4.9.6.

SECTION 4.9.5.1. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES "BELONGING" TO A SERIES. All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall be held and accounted for separately from the other assets of the Trust and of every other Series and may be referred to herein as "assets belonging to" that Series. The assets belonging to a particular Series shall belong to that Series for all purposes, and to no other Series, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Series. Such consideration, assets, income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series (collectively "General Items"), the Trustees shall allocate to and among any one or more of the Series in such manner and on such basis as they, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable. Any General Items so allocated to a particular Series shall belong to that Series. Each such allocation by the Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon all Shareholders for all purposes. The assets belonging to each particular Series shall be charged with the liabilities in respect of that Series and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that Series, and any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees to and among any one or more of the Series established and designated from time to time in such manner and on such basis as the Trustees in their sole discretion deem fair and equitable. Each allocation of

6

liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and reserves by the Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon all Shareholders for all purposes.

SECTION 4.9.5.2. TREATMENT OF PARTICULAR ITEMS. The Trustees shall have full discretion, to the extent consistent with the 1940 Act and consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, to determine which items shall be treated as income and which items as capital; and each such determination and allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders.

SECTION 4.9.5.3. LIMITATION ON INTERSERIES LIABILITIES. Subject to the right of the Trustees in their discretion to allocate general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves as provided in Section 4.9.5.1, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series only, and not against the assets of any other Series. Notice of this limitation on liabilities between and among Series shall be set forth in the certificate of trust of the Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed or to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the DSTA, and upon the giving of such notice in the certificate of trust, the statutory provisions of
Section 3804 of the DSTA relating to limitations on liabilities between and among series (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the certificate of trust) shall become applicable to the Trust and each Series.

SECTION 4.9.5.4. DIVIDENDS. Dividends and capital gains distributions on Shares of a particular Series may be paid with such frequency, in such form, and in such amount as the Trustees may determine by resolution adopted from time to time, or pursuant to a standing resolution or resolutions adopted only once or with such frequency as the Trustees may determine. All dividends and distributions on Shares of a particular Series shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of Shares of that Series in proportion to the number of Shares of that Series held by such holders at the date and time of record established for the payment of such dividends or distributions. Such dividends and distributions may be paid in cash, property or additional Shares of that Series, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Trustees or pursuant to any program that the Trustees may have in effect at the time for the election by each Shareholder of the form in which dividends or distributions are to be paid to that Shareholder. Any such dividend or distribution paid in Shares shall be paid at the net asset value thereof as determined in accordance with
Section 4.9.5.8.

SECTION 4.9.5.5. REDEMPTION BY SHAREHOLDER. Each Shareholder shall have the right at such times as may be permitted by the Trust and as otherwise required by the 1940 Act to require the Trust to redeem all or any part of such Shareholder's Shares of a Series at a redemption price per Share equal to the net asset value per Share of such Series next determined in accordance with Section 4.9.5.8 after the Shares are properly tendered for redemption, less such redemption fee, if any, as may be established by the Trustees in its sole discretion. Payment of the redemption price shall be in cash; provided, however, that the Trust may, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, make payment wholly or partly in securities or other assets belonging to the Series of which the Shares being redeemed are part at the value of such securities or assets used in such determination of net asset value. Notwithstanding the

7

foregoing, the Trust may postpone payment of the redemption price and may suspend the right of the holders of Shares of any Series to require the Trust to redeem Shares of that Series during any period or at any time when and to the extent permissible under any applicable provision of the 1940 Act.

SECTION 4.9.5.6. REDEMPTION BY TRUST. The Trustees may cause the Trust to redeem at net asset value the Shares of any Series held by a Shareholder upon such conditions as may from time to time be determined by the Trustees. Upon redemption of Shares pursuant to this Section 4.9.5.6, the Trust shall promptly cause payment of the full redemption price to be made to such Shareholder for Shares so redeemed.

SECTION 4.9.5.7. PREVENTION OF PERSONAL HOLDING COMPANY STATUS. The Trust may reject any purchase order, refuse to transfer any Shares, and compel the redemption of Shares if, in its opinion, any such rejection, refusal, or redemption would prevent the Trust from becoming a personal holding company as defined by the Code.

SECTION 4.9.5.8. NET ASSET VALUE. The net asset value per Share of any Series shall be determined in accordance with the methods and procedures established by the Trustees from time to time and, to the extent required by applicable law, as disclosed in the then current prospectus or statement of additional information for the Series.

SECTION 4.9.5.9. MAINTENANCE OF STABLE NET ASSET VALUE. The Trustees may determine to maintain the net asset value per Share of any Series at a designated constant dollar amount and in connection therewith may adopt procedures not inconsistent with the 1940 Act for the continuing declarations of income attributable to that Series as dividends payable in additional Shares of that Series at the designated constant dollar amount and for the handling of any losses attributable to that Series. Such procedures may provide that in the event of any loss each Shareholder shall be deemed to have contributed to the capital of the Trust attributable to that Series his or her pro rata portion of the total number of Shares required to be canceled in order to permit the net asset value per Share of that Series to be maintained, after reflecting such loss, at the designated constant dollar amount. Each Shareholder of the Trust shall be deemed to have agreed, by his investment in any Series with respect to which the Trustees shall have adopted any such procedure, to make the contribution referred to in the preceding sentence in the event of any such loss. The Trustees may delegate any of their powers and duties under this
Section 4.9.5.9 with respect to appraisal of assets and liabilities in the determination of net asset value or with respect to a suspension of the determination of net asset value to an officer or officers or agent or agents of the Trust designated from time to time by the Trustees.

SECTION 4.9.5.10. TRANSFER OF SHARES. Except to the extent that transferability is limited by applicable law or such procedures as may be developed from time to time by the Trustees or the appropriate officers of the Trust, Shares shall be transferable on the records of the Trust only by the record holder thereof or by his agent thereunto duly authorized in writing, upon delivery to the Trustees or the Trust's transfer agent of a duly executed instrument of transfer, together with a Share certificate, if one is outstanding, and such evidence of the genuineness of each such execution and authorization and of such other matters as may be

8

required by the Trustees. Upon such delivery the transfer shall be recorded on the register of the Trust.

SECTION 4.9.5.11. EQUALITY OF SHARES. All Shares of each particular Series shall represent an equal proportionate interest in the assets belonging to that Series (subject to the liabilities belonging to that Series), and each Share of any particular Series shall be equal in this respect to each other Share of that Series. This Section 4.9.5.11 shall not restrict any distinctions otherwise permissible under this Declaration of Trust with respect to any Classes within a Series.

SECTION 4.9.5.12. FRACTIONAL SHARES. Any fractional Share of any Series, if any such fractional Share is outstanding, shall carry proportionately all the rights and obligations of a whole Share of that Series, including rights and obligations with respect to voting, receipt of dividends and distributions, redemption of Shares, and liquidation of the Trust or any Series.

SECTION 4.9.6. RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES OF CLASSES. The Trustees shall have exclusive power without the requirement of Shareholder approval to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences as between the separate Classes within any Series. The current Classes (A, B, D, and Y) and any further Classes that may from time to time be established and designated by the Trustees shall (unless the Trustees otherwise determine with respect to some further Class at the time of establishing and designating the same) have relative rights and preferences as set forth in this Section 4.9.6. If a Series is divided into multiple Classes, the Classes may be invested with one or more other Classes in the common investment portfolio comprising the Series. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.9.5, if two or more Classes are invested in a common investment portfolio, the shares of each such Class shall be subject to the following preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, conditions of redemption, and, if there are other Classes invested in a different investment portfolio comprising a different Series, shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 4.9.5 at the Series level as if the Classes invested in the common investment portfolio were one Class:

(a) The income and expenses of the Series shall be allocated among the Classes comprising the Series in such manner as may be determined by the Trustees in accordance with applicable law;

(b) As more fully set forth in this Section 4.9.6, the liabilities and expenses of the Classes comprising the Series shall be determined separately from those of each other and, accordingly, the net asset values, the dividends and distributions payable to Shareholders, and the amounts distributable in the event of liquidation of the Trust or termination of a Series to Shareholders may vary within the Classes comprising the Series. Except for these differences and certain other differences set forth in this Section 4.9.6 or elsewhere in this Declaration of Trust, the Classes comprising a Series shall have the same preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption.

9

(c) The dividends and distributions of investment income and capital gains with respect to the Classes comprising a Series shall be in such amounts as may be declared from time to time by the Trustees, and such dividends and distributions may vary among the Classes comprising the Series to reflect differing allocations of the expenses and liabilities of the Trust among the Classes and any resultant differences between the net asset values per Share of the Classes, to such extent and for such purposes as the Trustees may deem appropriate. The allocation of investment income, capital gains, expenses, and liabilities of the Trust among the Classes comprising a Series shall be determined by the Trustees in a manner that is consistent with applicable law.

To the extent permitted by law, such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been executed and delivered.

A special meeting shall be called by the Secretary of the Trust upon (i) the request of a majority of the Trustees then in office, or (ii) the written request of Shareholders entitled to cast at least ten percent (10%) of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, provided that (a) such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted upon at such meeting, and (b) the Shareholders requesting such meeting shall have paid to the Trust the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice thereof, which the Secretary shall determine and specify to such Shareholders. Upon payment of these costs to the Trust, the Secretary shall notify each Shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting. Unless requested by Shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, a special meeting need not be called to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted on at any special meeting of Shareholders held during the preceding twelve (12) months.

SECTION 9.2.3. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of any meeting of Shareholders shall be given or caused to be given by the Trustees by mailing or transmitting such notice not less than ten (10) nor more than ninety (90) days before such meeting, postage prepaid, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, to each Shareholder at the Shareholder's address as it appears on the records of the Trust.

SECTION 9.2.4. CALL OF MEETINGS. The Trustees shall promptly call and give notice of a meeting of Shareholders for the purpose of voting upon removal of any Trustee of the Trust when requested to do so in accordance with Section

SECTION 9.3. RECORD DATES.

Any Shareholder who was a Shareholder at the date and time so fixed shall be entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as a Shareholder of record for purposes of such other action, even though such Shareholder has since that date and time disposed of its Shares, and no Shareholder becoming such after that date and time shall be so entitled to vote at such meeting or

21

any adjournment thereof or to be treated as a Shareholder of record for purposes of such other action.

SECTION 9.4. QUORUM. Except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law, this Declaration of Trust, or the Bylaws (if any), the presence in person or by proxy of Shareholders entitled to cast at least twenty percent (20%) of the votes entitled to be cast on any particular matter shall be a quorum as to such matter; provided, however, that any lesser number shall be sufficient for matters upon which the Shareholders vote at adjournments.

SECTION 9.5. REQUIRED VOTE. Notwithstanding any provision of law requiring the authorization of any matter by a greater proportion, any matter upon which the Shareholders vote shall be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such matter at a meeting of the Shareholders at which a quorum is present, except that Trustees shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at such a meeting.

SECTION 9.7. ACTIONS BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law, this Declaration of Trust, or the Bylaws (if any), any action taken by Shareholders may be taken without a meeting if Shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by the 1940 Act or by any express provision of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws (if any)) consent to the action in writing and such written consents are filed with the records of the meetings of Shareholders. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of Shareholders.

SECTION 9.8. INSPECTION OF RECORDS. The records of the Trust shall be open to inspection by Shareholders to the same extent as is required for stockholders of a Delaware business corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

SECTION 9.9. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. The Bylaws (if any) may include further provisions for Shareholders' votes and meetings and related matters not inconsistent with the provisions hereof.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 10.1. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

SECTION 10.1.1. GENERAL LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No personal liability for any debt or obligation of the Trust shall attach to any Trustee of the Trust. Without limiting the foregoing, a Trustee shall not be responsible for or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any officer, agent, employee, investment adviser, subadviser, principal underwriter or custodian of the Trust, nor shall any Trustee be responsible or liable for the act or

22

omission of any other Trustee. Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate, Share or undertaking and every other act or thing whatsoever executed or done by or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustees or any Trustee in connection with the Trust shall be conclusively deemed to have been executed or done only in or with respect to their or his or her capacity as Trustees or Trustee and neither such Trustees or Trustee nor the Shareholders shall be personally liable thereon.

SECTION 10.1.2. NOTICE OF LIMITED LIABILITY. Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or by any officers or officer may recite that the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the Trust by them as Trustees or Trustee or as officers or officer and not individually and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon any of them or the Shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Trust or belonging to a Series thereof, and may contain such further recitals as they or he may deem appropriate, but the omission thereof shall not operate to bind any Trustees or Trustee or officers or officer or Shareholders or Shareholder individually.

SECTION 10.1.3. LIABILITY LIMITED TO ASSETS OF THE TRUST. All persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against the Trust shall look only to the assets of the Trust or belonging to a Series thereof, as appropriate, for payment under such credit, contract or claim, and neither the Shareholders nor the Trustees nor any of the Trust's officers, employees or agents, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor.

SECTION 10.2. LIABILITY OF TRUSTEES. The exercise by the Trustees of their powers and discretion hereunder shall be binding upon the Trust, the Shareholders, and any other person dealing with the Trust. The liability of the Trustees, however, shall be limited by this Section 10.2.

SECTION 10.2.1. LIABILITY FOR OWN ACTIONS. A Trustee shall be liable to the Trust or the Shareholders only for his own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee, and for nothing else, and shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law.

SECTION 10.2.2. LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS OF OTHERS. The Trustees shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any officer, agent, employee, consultant, adviser, administrative agent, distributor, principal underwriter, custodian, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, Shareholder servicing agent, or accounting agent of the Trust, nor shall any Trustee be responsible for any act or omission of any other Trustee.

SECTION 10.2.3. ADVICE OF EXPERTS AND REPORTS OF OTHERS. The Trustees may take advice of counsel or other experts with respect to the meaning and operation of this Declaration of Trust and their duties as Trustees hereunder, and shall be under no liability for any act or omission in accordance with such advice or for failing to follow such advice. In discharging their duties, the Trustees, when acting in good faith, shall be entitled to rely upon the books of account of the Trust and upon written reports made to the Trustees by any officer appointed by them, any independent public accountant and (with respect to the subject matter of

23

the contract involved) any officer, partner or responsible employee of any other party to any contract entered into hereunder.

SECTION 10.2.4. BOND. The Trustees shall not be required to give any bond as such, nor any surety if a bond is required.

SECTION 10.2.5. DECLARATION OF TRUST GOVERNS ISSUES OF LIABILITY. The provisions of this Declaration of Trust, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Shareholders and all other Persons bound by this Declaration of Trust to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Trustees.

SECTION 10.3. LIABILITY OF THIRD PERSONS DEALING WITH TRUSTEES. No person dealing with the Trustees shall be bound to make any inquiry concerning the validity of any transaction made or to be made by the Trustees or to see to the application of any payments made or property transferred to the Trust or upon its order.

SECTION 10.4. LIABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS. Without limiting the provisions of this Section 10.4 or the DSTA, the Shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations organized for profit under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 10.4.1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No personal liability for any debt or obligation of the Trust shall attach to any Shareholder or former Shareholder of the Trust, and neither the Trustees, nor any officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall have any power to bind any Shareholder personally or to call upon any Shareholder for the payment of any sum of money or assessment whatsoever other than such as the Shareholder may at any time personally agree to pay by way of subscription for any Shares or otherwise.

SECTION 10.4.2. INDEMNIFICATION OF SHAREHOLDERS. In case any Shareholder or former Shareholder of the Trust shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a Shareholder and not because of such Shareholder's acts or omissions or for some other reason, the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or, in the case of a natural person, his or her heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or, in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets of the Trust to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability; provided, however, there shall be no liability or obligation of the Trust arising hereunder to reimburse any Shareholder for taxes paid by reason of such Shareholder's ownership of any Shares or for losses suffered by reason of any changes in value of any Trust assets. The Trust shall, upon request by the Shareholder or former Shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against the Shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust and satisfy any judgment thereon.

SECTION 10.5. INDEMNIFICATION.

24

SECTION 10.5.1. INDEMNIFICATION OF COVERED PERSONS. Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in Section 10.5.2, every person who is, or has been, a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust, including persons who serve at the request of the Trust as directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents of another organization in which the Trust has an interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person"), shall be indemnified by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been such a Trustee, director, officer, employee or agent and against amounts paid or incurred by him in settlement thereof.

SECTION 10.5.2. EXCEPTIONS. No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person:

(a) For any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders arising out of a final adjudication by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought that the Covered Person engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office;

(b) With respect to any matter as to which the Covered Person shall have been finally adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the Trust; or

(c) In the event of a settlement or other disposition not involving a final adjudication (as provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.5.2) and resulting in a payment by a Covered Person, unless there has been either a determination that such Covered Person did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office by the court or other body approving the settlement or other disposition, or a reasonable determination, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that he or she did not engage in such conduct, such determination being made by: (i) a vote of a majority of the Disinterested Trustees (as such term is defined in Section 10.5.5) acting on the matter (provided that a majority of Disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter); or (ii) a written opinion of independent legal counsel.

SECTION 10.5.3. RIGHTS OF INDEMNIFICATION. The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, and shall be severable, shall not affect any other rights to which any Covered Person may now or hereafter be entitled, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Covered Person, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which Trust personnel other than Covered Persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.

SECTION 10.5.4. EXPENSES OF INDEMNIFICATION. Expenses of preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim, action, suit or proceeding subject to a claim for indemnification under this Section 10.5 shall be advanced by the Trust prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount if it

25

is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.5, provided that either:

(a) Such undertaking is secured by a surety bond or some other appropriate security or the Trust shall be insured against losses arising out of any such advances; or

(b) A majority of the Disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the Disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter) or independent legal counsel in a written opinion shall determine, based upon a review of the readily available facts (as opposed to the facts available upon a full trial), that there is reason to believe that the recipient ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.

SECTION 10.5.5. CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION. As used in this Section 10.5, the following words shall have the meanings set forth below:

(a) A "Disinterested Trustee" is one (i) who is not an Interested Person of the Trust (including anyone, as such Disinterested Trustee, who has been exempted from being an Interested Person by any rule, regulation or order of the Commission), and (ii) against whom none of such actions, suits or other proceedings or another action, suit or other proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then or has been pending;

(b) "Claim," "action," "suit" or "proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions, suits, proceedings (civil, criminal, administrative or other, including appeals), actual or threatened; and

(c) "Liability" and "expenses" shall include without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties and other liabilities.

Subject to approval by the affected Shareholders, the Trust, any Series, or any Class (and the establishment and designation thereof) may be terminated by an instrument executed by a majority of the Trustees then in office; provided, however, that no approval of affected Shareholders is necessary if a majority of the trustees then in office determines that the continuation of the Trust, Series, or Class is not in the best interests of the Trust, such Series, such Class, or the affected Shareholders as a result of factors or events adversely affecting the ability of the Trust, Series, or Class to conduct its business and operations in an economically viable manner.

Following such transfer, the Trustees shall distribute such cash, Shares or other securities (giving due effect to the assets and liabilities belonging to and any other differences among the various Series the assets belonging to which have so been transferred) among the Shareholders of the Series corresponding to the Series the assets belonging to which have been so transferred. If all of the assets of the Trust have been so transferred, the Trust shall be terminated pursuant to Section 11.1.

result in an amendment of this Declaration of Trust which would otherwise require the approval of such Shareholders.

SECTION 11.3.3. SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS. In accordance with Section 3815(f) of DSTA, an agreement of merger or consolidation may effect any amendment to this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws (if any) or effect the adoption of a new declaration of trust or Bylaws (if any) of the Trust if the Trust is the surviving or resulting business trust.

B. The Distributor shall not be obligated to sell any certain number of Shares.

C. The Trust agrees:

1. that it will not, without the Distributor's consent, sell or agree to sell any Shares of the Trust other than through the Distributor, except that the Trust may:

2

investment company or substantially all of the outstanding shares of any such company;

b. issue Shares to its shareholders for reinvestment of cash distribution from capital gains or net investment income of the Trust;

3. to keep the Distributor fully informed of its affairs and to make available to the Distributor copies of all information, financial statements, and other papers which the Distributor may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of Shares, including, without limitation, certified copies of any financial statements for the Trust by its independent public accountant and such reasonable number of copies of the most current prospectus, statement of additional information, and annual and interim reports of a Fund as the Distributor may request;

3. to cooperate fully in the efforts of the Distributor to sell and arrange for the sale of the Shares and in the performance of the Distributor under this Agreement; and

4. to register or cause to be registered all Shares sold by the Distributor pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement in such name or names and amounts as the Distributor may request from time to time.

3.2.2 REQUIRED SHAREHOLDER SERVICES.

(a) Dealer will assign one of its Representatives to each of the Funds' accounts on Dealer's records and reassign the Funds' accounts should any Representative terminate his/her relationship with Dealer.

(d) Dealer's compliance with the services set forth in this Subsection may be evaluated by CUNA Brokerage from time to time by surveying shareholder satisfaction with service, by monitoring redemption levels of shareholder accounts assigned to Dealer or by such other methods, as CUNA Brokerage deems appropriate.

(e) The provisions of this Subsection 3.2.2 may be amended by CUNA Brokerage from time to time upon written notice to Dealer.

3.2.3 REQUIRED DISTRIBUTION SERVICES. Dealer and its Representatives provide the following distribution services:

Dealer understands that it has no right to receive payment of Distribution Fees or Service Fees unless the applicable Fund pays such a fee to CUNA Brokerage pursuant to the applicable distribution and/or service plan. Dealer's failure to provide the shareholder services described in Section 3.2.2 above, or the distribution services described in Section 3.2.3 above, as either may be amended by CUNA Brokerage from time to time, or otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement, will render Dealer ineligible to receive Distribution and/or Service Fees. The failure of any Representative to provide services required by this Agreement will render that Representative's accounts ineligible as accounts on which the Distribution and/or Service Fees are paid.

3.2.5 PAYMENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS TO REPRESENTATIVES. Dealer will assist CUNA Brokerage or its designated agent in distributing to Dealer's Representatives periodic statements which CUNA Brokerage or its designated agent will have prepared showing the aggregate value of the Shares in the Funds which they are credited on CUNA Brokerage or its designated agents' records.

Best or equivalent rating from another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. This bond shall be maintained at Dealer's expense. Such bond shall be at least equivalent to the minimal coverage required under FINRA Rules. Dealer acknowledges that CUNA Brokerage may require evidence that such coverage is in force, and Dealer shall promptly give notice to CUNA Brokerage of any notice of cancellation or change of coverage. Dealer will assign any proceeds received from the fidelity bond company, error and omissions or other liability to CUNA Brokerage due to activities covered by the bond. If there is any deficiency, Dealer will promptly pay CUNA Brokerage the amount of such deficiency on demand. Dealer shall indemnify and hold harmless CUNA Brokerage from any such deficiency and from the cost of collection.

Re: Opinion of Counsel - MEMBERS Mutual Funds Post-Effective Amendment for Class C Shares File Nos. 333-29511 and 811-08261

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as your counsel in connection with the preparation of Post-Effective Amendment No. 24 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (Registration Nos. 333-29511; 811-08261) (the "Registration Statement") relating to the new Class C shares (the "Shares") of the Conservative Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund and Aggressive Allocation Fund (collectively, the "Funds"), each a series of the MEMBERS Mutual Funds, a business trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement (and the Prospectus of the Funds included therein).

We have examined: (a) the Registration Statement (and the Prospectus of the Funds included therein), (b) the Company's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, (c) certain resolutions of the Company's Board of Trustees, and (d) such other proceedings, documents and records as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render this opinion.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement, will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, however, we do not admit that we are "experts" within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of said Act.

Very truly yours,

Exhibit m.3

MEMBERS MUTUAL FUNDS

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
CLASS C SHARES

EFFECTIVE AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2008

A. MEMBERS MUTUAL FUNDS (the "TRUST") is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 ACT"). The Trust is organized as a statutory trust pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware.

B. The Trust intends to distribute its Class C shares of beneficial interest (the "CLASS C SHARES") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and desires to adopt this distribution plan (the "PLAN"). The Plan will pertain to Class C Shares of each series of the Trust listed on Schedule A hereto (individually a "FUND" and collectively the "FUNDS"). The Plan shall also apply to the Class C Shares of any other Fund as shall be designated from time to time by the board of trustees of the Trust (the "BOARD") in any supplement to Schedule A hereto.

C. The Trust recognizes and agrees that (a) the principal underwriter may retain the services of firms or individuals to act as dealers or wholesalers (collectively, "DEALERS") of the Class C Shares in connection with the offering of Class C Shares, (b) the principal underwriter may compensate any dealer that sells Class C Shares in the manner and at the rate or rates to be set forth in an agreement between the principal underwriter and such dealer and (c) the principal underwriter may make such payments to the dealers for distribution services out of the fee paid to the principal underwriter hereunder, its profits or any other source available to it.

D. The Board, in considering whether the Trust should adopt and implement this Plan, has evaluated such information as it deemed necessary to an informed determination of whether this Plan should be adopted and implemented and has considered such pertinent factors as it deemed necessary to form the basis for a decision to use assets attributable to the Class C Shares for such purposes, and has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the adoption and implementation of this Plan will benefit the holders of the Class C Shares and the Trust.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust has adopted the Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act on the following terms and conditions:

1. The Trust may pay the principal underwriter a service fee to compensate the principal underwriter for any efforts undertaken or expenses incurred (as described in paragraph 2) for activities relating to the personal and account maintenance services to shareholders of the Class C Shares ("CLASS C SERVICE FEE"). The Class C Service Fee shall not exceed 0.25%, on an annual basis, of the average value of the daily net assets of each Fund attributable to the Class C Shares. The Trust may also pay the principal underwriter a distribution fee to compensate distribution expenses with respect to Class C Shares ("CLASS C DISTRIBUTION FEE"). The Class C Distribution Fee shall not exceed 0.75% on an annual basis, of the daily net assets of each Fund attributable to Class C Shares. The value of the net assets of the Class C Shares in each Fund shall be determined in accordance with the Declaration of Trust of the Trust, as may be amended from time to time. The Class C Service Fee and Class C Distribution Fee shall be calculated and


accrued daily and paid no less frequently than annually.

2. The principal underwriter may spend the amount of the Class C Service Fee as it deems appropriate to finance any activity that is primarily intended to provide ongoing servicing and maintenance of the accounts of shareholders of the Class C Shares, including, but not limited to, compensation of dealers and others for providing personal and account maintenance services to Class C shareholders and salaries and other expenses relating to the Class C account servicing efforts.

3. The principal underwriter may spend the amount of the Class C Distribution Fees as it deems appropriate to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of Class C Shares, including, but not limited to, compensation of dealers and others for various activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class C Shares, and salaries and other expenses relating to selling or servicing efforts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the initial categories of Class C Distribution Fee expenses shall include:

(a) salaries and expenses of sales force, home office management and marketing personnel;

(b) expenses incurred by the principal underwriter for office space, office equipment and supplies;

(c) expenses incurred by the principal underwriter for the preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature used in connection with the offering of the Class C Shares;

(d) expenses incurred by the principal underwriter for advertising, promoting and selling the Class C Shares;

(e) the cost of printing or distributing the Trust's prospectus or statement of additional information (or supplements thereto) used in connection with the offering of the Class C Shares;

(f) the cost of printing and distributing additional copies, for use as sales literature for the Class C Shares, of annual reports and other communications prepared by the Trust for distribution to existing shareholders;

(g) the cost of holding seminars and sales meetings designed to promote the sale of the Class C Shares;

(h) the cost of training sales personnel regarding sale of the Class C Shares; and

(i) the cost of any other activity that the Board determines is primarily intended to result in the sale of Class C Shares.

2

4. The Trust understands that agreements between the principal underwriter and selected broker-dealers may provide for payment of fees to such broker-dealers in connection with sale of Class C Shares and the provision of services to holders of Class C Shares. This Plan shall not be construed as requiring the Trust to make any payment to any party or to have any obligations to any party in connection with services relating to the Class C Shares. The principal underwriter shall agree and undertake that any agreement entered into between the principal underwriter and any other party relating to sales of the Class C Shares shall provide that such other party shall look solely to the principal underwriter for compensation for its services thereunder and that in no event shall such party seek any payment from the Trust.

5. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to require the Trust to take any action contrary to its Declaration of Trust or any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or to relieve or deprive the Board of the responsibility for and control of the conduct of the affairs of the Trust.

6. This Plan shall become effective upon approval by a vote of the Board and a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any agreement related to the Plan (the "qualified disinterested trustees"), such votes to be cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Plan. The effective date of the Plan is the date on which the Board approval described above occurs.

7. This Plan will remain in effect beyond the first anniversary of its effective date only if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the trustees of the Trust and a majority of the qualified disinterested trustees. In connection with the annual review and approval of this Plan, the principal underwriter shall furnish the Board with such information as the Board may reasonably request in order to enable the Board to make an informed determination of whether the Plan should be continued.

8. The Trust and the principal underwriter shall provide the Board, and the Board shall review, at least quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended under this Plan and the purposes for which such expenditures were made. In the event that any amount of servicing or distribution expenses are not specifically attributable to Class C Shares of any particular Fund, the principal underwriter may allocate such expenses to the Class C Shares of each Fund deemed to be reasonably likely to benefit therefrom based upon the ratio of the average daily net assets of Class C Shares in each Fund during the previous period to the aggregate average daily net assets of Class C Shares in all Funds for such period. Any such allocation may be subject to such adjustments as the principal underwriter, with approval from the Board, shall deem appropriate to render the allocation fair and equitable under the circumstances.

9. This Plan may be amended at any time by the Board, provided that it may not be amended to increase materially the amount that may be spent for servicing and distribution of the Class C Shares without the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding votes attributable to Class C Shares and may not be materially amended in any case without a vote of a majority of both the trustees and the qualified disinterested trustees. This Plan may be terminated at any time by a vote of a majority of the qualified disinterested trustees or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding votes attributable to Class C Shares.

3

10. In the event of termination or expiration of the Plan, the Trust may nevertheless, within twelve months of such termination or expiration, pay any Class C Service Fee or Class C Distribution Fee accrued prior to such termination or expiration, provided that payments are specifically approved by the Board, including a majority of the qualified disinterested trustees.

11. While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of qualified disinterested trustees shall be committed to the discretion of the sitting qualified disinterested trustees.

12. Any agreement related to this Plan shall be in writing and shall provide in substance that: (a) such agreement, with respect to any Fund, may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the qualified disinterested trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding votes attributable to Class C Shares of that Fund, on not more than 60 days written notice to any other party to the agreement; and (b) such agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

13. The Trust shall preserve copies of this Plan, and each agreement related hereto and each report referred to in paragraph 8 hereof, for a period of not less than six (6) years from the end of the fiscal year in which such records or documents were made. For a period of two (2) years, each such record or document shall be kept in an easily accessible place.

14. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act.

15. If any provision of this Plan shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of the Plan shall not be affected thereby.

16. Neither this Plan nor any other transaction between the parties hereto pursuant to this Plan shall be invalidated or in any way affected by the fact that any or all of the trustees, officers, shareholders, or other representatives of the Trust are or may be interested persons of the principal underwriter, or any successor or assignee thereof, or that any or all of the directors, officers, or other representatives of the principal underwriter are or may be interested persons of the Trust, except as otherwise may be provided in the 1940 Act.

MEMBERS MUTUAL FUNDS

AMENDED AND RESTATED PLAN FOR MULTIPLE CLASSES OF SHARES

AS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON FEBRUARY 28, 2008

A. MEMBERS MUTUAL FUNDS (the "TRUST") is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "ACT"). The Trust is organized as a statutory trust pursuant to the laws of the state of Delaware.

B. The Declaration of Trust of the Trust (the "DECLARATION OF TRUST") authorizes the Trust to issue multiple series of shares of beneficial interest, each of which represents a fractional undivided interest in a separate investment portfolio (a "FUND"). The Declaration of Trust also authorizes the Trust to divide each series of shares into multiple classes. The Trust hereby establishes four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. As described in more detail below: Class A shares are subject to a front-end sales charge, an asset-based shareholder service fee, and on purchases of over $1,000,000, a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"); Class B shares are subject to an asset-based distribution fee, an asset-based shareholder service fee (except for money market funds), and a CDSC; Class C shares are subject to an asset-based distribution fee, an asset-based shareholder service fee (except for money market funds), and a CDSC; and Class Y shares are not subject to any of the above mentioned fees.

C. This Amended and Restated Plan for Multiple Classes of Shares (the "PLAN") is a plan as contemplated by Rule l8f-3(d) under the Act.

D. The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "BOARD"), including a majority of the trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Act), have approved and adopted the Plan for each Fund and determined that the Plan is or will be: (i) in the best interests of the holders of Class A shares of each series; (ii) in the best interests of the holders of Class B shares of each series; (iii) in the best interests of the holders of Class C shares of each series; (iv) in the best interests of the holders of Class Y shares of each series; and (v) in the best interests of the Trust as a whole.

E. The Plan will remain in effect until such time as the Board terminates the Plan or makes a material change to the Plan. Any material change to the Plan must be approved by the Board, including a majority of the trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, as being in the best interests of each series and class of shares to which such change would apply and the Trust as a whole.


SECTION I CLASS DISTRIBUTION FEES AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

1.1 CLASS A SHARES. Class A shares are sold through CUNA Brokerage Services, Inc. ("CBSI"), or other registered broker-dealers authorized by CBSI, charge a front-end sales charge or load calculated as a percentage of the offering price at the time of purchase. The following table indicates the charge:

                            CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND
                              MODERATE ALLOCATION FUND
                             AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION FUND

                               (Sales Charge as a % of Offering Price)
                            -----------------------------------------------
       Under $25,000                    5.75%                  4.50%
    $25,000 to $49,999                  5.00%                  4.50%
    $50,000 to $99,999                  4.50%                  4.00%
   $100,000 to $249,999                 3.50%                  3.50%
   $250,000 to $499,999                 2.50%                  2.50%
   $500,000 to $999,999                 1.50%                  1.50%
 $1 million or more and
certain other investments
    described below(1)                  None(1)                None(1)

(1) A CDSC may be assessed on certain purchases of Class A shares of over $1,000,000 at a rate of 1.00% in the first year and 0.50% in the second year following the purchase.

Class A shares also support an asset-based shareholder service fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund, other than the Cash Reserves Fund, attributable to Class A shares on an annual basis (this charge is more fully described in the service plan adopted by the Board pursuant to Rule 12b-l under the Act).

Class A shares may be purchased without front-end sales charges by the following individuals and institutions:

- Credit union employees and their immediate family, when purchasing shares for their own personal accounts.

- Registered representatives of broker/dealers and registered investment advisers authorized to sell the funds when purchasing shares for their own account or for the benefit of their immediate family.

- Individuals and their immediate family who within the past twelve months were trustees, directors, officers, or employees of the CUNA Mutual Group (which consists of CUNA Mutual Insurance Society and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("CUNA MUTUAL GROUP")) or any of its affiliated companies, or any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan which beneficially owns shares for those persons,

2

provided the purchase is made directly by mail, internet or telephone without the consultation of a registered representative. If the purchase is made through a registered representative, sales charges as described in the Fund's prospectus may apply.

- Individuals and their immediate family who within the past twelve months were trustees of the Board or the board of trustees of the Ultra Series Fund; or any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan which beneficially owns shares for those persons.

- Individuals and their immediate family who are trustees, directors, officers or employees of the adviser, subadviser, or service providers of the Trust.

- Credit union system-affiliated institutional investors and other non-profit organizations as described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE").

- Credit union employees, and employees of non-profit organizations that qualifies as tax-exempt under section 501(c) of the Code, when purchasing shares in a 457(b) eligible deferred compensation plan.

- Certain qualified defined benefit or qualified defined contribution pension plans, including 401(k) plans, with over $250,000 of assets.

Class A shares may be purchased without front-end sales charges in the following transactions:

- In fee-based accounts under an agreement with the Fund's distributor or investment adviser.

- With proceeds from the liquidation of a CUNA Mutual Group-affiliated pension product. (For employees of CUNA Mutual Group or any of its affiliated companies, the sales charge waiver applies provided the purchase is made directly by mail, internet or telephone without the consultation of a registered representative. If the purchase is made through a registered representative, sales charge as described in the Fund's prospectus may apply).

- In Retirement Health Care Funding Program accounts (FAS 106) and Employee Option Plan accounts administered by CUNA Mutual Group.

- Reinvestment of dividends or capital gains from one of the Funds.

- By exchange from one Fund to another.

- Pursuant to the Funds' reinstatement or reinvestment privilege (see the Fund's statement of additional information (the "SAI") for more information).

- From the proceeds of shares of another Fund account on which a load was already paid.

3

There are several ways investors and certain qualified pension plans may combine multiple purchases to reduce Class A sales charges:

RIGHTS OF COMBINATION. Purchases may be combined to reduce Class A sales charges if made by:

- individuals and their immediate family for their own account(s), including individual retirement, custodial and personal trust accounts;

- a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust, estate or fiduciary account; and

- groups which qualify for the Group Investment Program as described in the SAI.

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. An individual may add the current market value of such individual's existing holdings in any fund and class of shares of the Trust (including combinations), to the amount of such individual's next purchase of Class A shares to qualify for reduced sales charges. The current value of existing investments in an individual's MEMBERS variable annuity contract may also be taken into account to determine such individual's Class A sales charges.

LETTER OF INTENT. An individual may purchase Class A shares of a Fund over a 13-month period and receive the same sales charge as if all shares had been purchased at once by signing a letter of intent.

1.2 CLASS B SHARES. Class B shares are sold through CBSI, or other registered broker-dealers authorized by CBSI, at their net asset value without the imposition of a sales charge at the time of purchase, but may be subject to a CDSC at the time of redemption (as explained in more detail below). Class B shares also support: (1) an asset-based distribution fee (as provided for by a distribution plan adopted by the Board pursuant to Rule l2b-l under the Act) equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Trust attributable to Class B shares on an annual basis and (2) an asset-based shareholder service fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Trust attributable to Class B shares on an annual basis. The imposition of the CDSC and asset-based fees must, however, remain consistent with the requirements of the Conduct Rules (the "CONDUCT RULES") of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA").

At redemption, the amount of a CDSC, if any, charged to a holder of Class B shares depends upon the number of months or years that have elapsed since the holder purchased the shares. The amount of the CDSC is determined by multiplying the CDSC percentage charge shown in the following table by the lesser of: (1) the net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of purchase or (2) the net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption. The CDSC is deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder.

Purchase Date on or after February 28, 2003

Years After Purchase    1      2      3      4      5      6      7
--------------------  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----
CDSC                   4.5%   4.0%   3.5%   3.0%   2.0%   1.0%   None

Purchase Date before February 28, 2003

Years After Purchase    1      2      3      4      5      6
--------------------  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----
CDSC                   4.5%   4.0%   3.5%   3.0%   2.0%   None

For purposes of computing the CDSC, all purchases made during a calendar month are counted as having been made on the first day of that month.

In determining whether a CDSC is payable, the Trust will comply with the provisions of Rule 6c-l0 under the Act as currently adopted. Under Rule 6c-l0, no CDSC is imposed with respect to: (1) the portion of redemption proceeds attributable to the increase in the value of an account above the net cost of the investment due to increases in the net asset value per share of Class B shares; (2) shares of Class B shares acquired through reinvestment of income dividends or capital gain distributions; (3) shares of Class B shares held for more than five years after purchase for shares purchased before February 28, 2003; or (4) shares of Class B shares held for more than six years after purchase for shares purchased on or after February 28, 2003.

1.3 CLASS C SHARES. Class C shares are sold through CBSI, or other registered broker-dealers authorized by CBSI, at their net asset value without the imposition of a sales charge at the time of purchase, but may be subject to a CDSC at the time of redemption (as explained in more detail below). Class C shares also support: (1) an asset-based distribution fee (as provided for by a distribution plan adopted by the Board pursuant to Rule l2b-l under the Act) equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Trust attributable to Class C shares on an annual basis and (2) an asset-based shareholder service fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Trust attributable to Class C shares on an annual basis. The imposition of the CDSC and asset-based fees must, however, remain consistent with the requirements of the Conduct Rules.

For Class C shares, a CDSC of 1% may be charged on shares sold within one year of purchase. The amount of the CDSC is determined by multiplying the CDSC percentage charge of 1% by the lesser of: (1) the net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of purchase or (2) the net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption. The CDSC is deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder.

For purposes of computing the CDSC, all purchases made during a calendar month are counted as having been made on the first day of that month.

In determining whether a CDSC is payable, the Trust will comply with the provisions of Rule 6c-l0 under the Act as currently adopted. Under Rule 6c-l0, no CDSC is imposed with respect to: (1) the portion of redemption proceeds attributable to the increase in the value of an account above the net cost of the investment due to increases in the net asset value per share of Class C shares; (2) shares of Class C shares acquired through reinvestment of income dividends or capital gain distributions; or (3) shares of Class C shares held for more than one year after purchase.

1.4 CLASS Y SHARES. Class Y shares are sold without the imposition of a sales charge and do not support an asset-based shareholder service fee. Class Y shares are generally only available for purchase by the Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation and Aggressive Allocation Funds, other affiliated allocation funds, investors utilizing fund shares in fee-based

5

managed accounts with CBSI or another broker-dealer (wrap fee investors), and to other investors as the Board may from time to time authorize.

1.5 OVERALL LIMITS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amounts of any front-end sales charge, any asset-based distribution plan fee and any CDSC imposed by the Trust must comply with the requirements of Section 2830 of the Conduct Rules, as amended from time to time, and any other rules or regulations promulgated by the FINRA applicable to mutual fund distribution and service fees.

SECTION II ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES

2.1 CLASS DISTINCTIONS. Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class Y shares each represent interests in the same series of the Trust. All classes of shares are identical in all respects except that: (1) each class may be subject to a distinct distribution and/or service fee (as described above);
(2) each class will bear different Class Expenses (as defined below); (3) each class will have exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that exclusively affect that class (such as approval of any Rule 12b-1 plan for such class); and
(4) each class will bear a different name or designation.

2.2 CLASS EXPENSES. The Board, acting in its sole discretion, has determined that those expenses attributable to the shares of a particular class ("CLASS EXPENSES") will be borne solely by the class to which they are attributable. For example, the asset-based distribution plan fees and the asset-based shareholder service fees of Class B shares are Class Expenses of Class B shares. Class Expenses also include the following as they each relate to a particular class of shares: (1) transfer agency fees; (2) expenses related to preparing, printing, mailing and distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and proxy statements to current shareholders; (3) state and federal registration fees; (4) extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses; (5) trustees' fees and expenses incurred as a result of issues relating solely to a particular class; (6) accounting, audit and tax expenses;
(7) the expenses of administrative personnel and services required to support the shareholders; and (8) fees and other payments made to entities performing services, including account maintenance, dividend, disbursing or subaccounting services or administration of a dividend reinvestment or systematic investment or withdrawal plan. However, to the extent that allocation of expenses to a particular share class is not practical or would not significantly differ from a pro-rata allocation, such expenses will be allocated as provided in Section 3.1.

SECTION III ALLOCATION OF TRUST INCOME AND EXPENSES

3.1 ALLOCATION OF INCOME AND EXPENSES. All income earned and expenses incurred by the Trust and not allocable to a particular share class are borne on a pro-rata basis by each outstanding share of each class based on the value of the net assets of the Trust attributable to that class as represented by the daily net asset value of shares of that class. On a daily basis, the total interest, dividends or other income accrued and common expenses incurred are multiplied by the ratio of the Fund's net assets attributable to each class to determine the income and expenses attributable to that class for the day. Expenses properly attributable to each class are recorded separately and charged to that class; net income for each class is then determined for the day and segregated on the Fund's general ledger. Because of the distribution fee and other

6

Class Expenses borne by Class B and Class C shares, the net income attributable to and the dividends payable on Class B and Class C shares are anticipated to be lower (although it may be higher) than that of the Class A shares or Class Y shares. Dividends, however, are declared and paid on all classes of shares on the same days and at the same times.

SECTION IV CONVERSIONS

4.1 CONVERSIONS. Class B shares contain a conversion feature. On the conversion date occurring after the 85th month of the issuance of a share of Class B shares for purchases before February 28, 2003, and the 97th month of issuance for purchases on or after February 28, 2003, the share automatically converts into a Class A share on the basis of the relative net asset values of the two classes, without the imposition of any sales charge, fee or other charge upon the conversion. After conversion, the converted shares are not subject to any Class B distribution plan fees or CDSC.

All Class B shares in a shareholder's account that are purchased through the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions paid with respect to Class B shares (and which have not converted to Class A shares) are considered to be held in a separate subaccount. Each time any Class B shares in the shareholder's account are converted to Class A shares, a pro-rata portion of the Class B shares then in the subaccount are also converted to Class A shares. The portion converting is determined by the ratio that the shareholder's Class B shares converting to Class A shares bears to the shareholder's total Class B shares not acquired through dividends and distributions.

SECTION V REDEMPTIONS

5.1 REDEMPTIONS. Redemption requests placed by investors holding shares of Class B as well as either Class A, Class C or Class Y are satisfied first by redeeming the holder's Class A, Class C, or Class Y shares, unless the holder has made a specific election to redeem Class B shares. Class B shares will be redeemed with the most aged shares being redeemed first.

SECTION VI AMENDMENTS

6.1 AMENDMENTS. This Plan may not be amended to change any material provision unless such amendment is approved by the vote of the majority of the Board, including a majority of the trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, based on their finding that the amendment is in the best interests of each class individually and the Trust as a whole.

SECTION VII RECORDKEEPING

7.1 RECORDKEEPING. The Trust shall preserve copies of this Plan and any related agreements for a period of not less than six years from the date of this Plan or agreement, the first two years in an easily accessible place.

7

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has executed this Amended and Restated Plan for Multiple Classes of Shares on the day and year set forth below.

                                 We know that our reputation is our most valuable
                                 asset as that reputation attracts clients and
                                 promotes their trust and confidence in our firm's
                                 capabilities. We entrust our clients' interests and
                                 the firm's reputation every day to each Wellington
                                 Management employee around the world. Each of us
                                 must take constant care that our actions fully meet
                                 our duties as fiduciaries for our clients. Our
                                 clients' interests must always come first; they
                                 cannot and will not be compromised.

                                 We have learned through many experiences, that when
                                 we put our clients first, we are doing the right
                                 thing. If our standards slip, or our focus wanes, we
                                 risk the loss of everything we have worked so hard
                                 to build together over the years.

                                 It is important that we all remember "client, firm,
                                 person" is our most fundamental guiding principle.
                                 This high ethical standard is embodied in our Code
                                 of Ethics. The heart of the Code of Ethics goes to
                                 our obligation to remain vigilant in protecting the
                                 interests of our clients above our own. We encourage
                                 you to become familiar with all facets of the Code
                                 and trust that you will embrace and comply with both
                                 the letter and the spirit of the Code.

                                 CODE OF ETHICS

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT             Wellington Management Company, LLP and its
                                 affiliates ("Wellington Management") have a
                                 fiduciary duty to investment company and investment
                                 counseling clients that requires each Employee to
                                 act solely for the benefit of clients. As a firm and
                                 as individuals, our conduct (including our personal
                                 trading) must recognize that the firm's clients
                                 always come first and that we must avoid any abuse
                                 of our positions of trust and responsibility.

                                 Each Employee is expected to adhere to the highest
                                 standard of professional and ethical conduct and
                                 should be sensitive to situations that may give rise
                                 to an actual conflict or the appearance of a
                                 conflict with our clients' interests, or have the
                                 potential to cause damage to the firm's reputation.
                                 To this end, each Employee must act with integrity,
                                 honesty, dignity and in a highly ethical manner.
                                 Each Employee is also required to comply with all
                                 applicable securities laws. Moreover, each Employee
                                 must exercise reasonable care and professional
                                 judgment to avoid engaging in actions that put the
                                 image of the firm or its reputation at risk. While
                                 it is not possible to anticipate all instances of
                                 potential conflict or unprofessional conduct, the
                                 standard is clear.

                                 This Code of Ethics (the "Code") recognizes that our
                                 fiduciary obligation extends across all of our
                                 affiliates, satisfies our regulatory obligations and
                                 sets forth the policy regarding Employee conduct in
                                 those situations in which conflicts with our
                                 clients' interests are most likely to develop. ALL
                                 EMPLOYEES ARE SUBJECT TO THIS CODE AND ADHERENCE TO
                                 THE CODE IS A BASIC CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT. IF AN
                                 EMPLOYEE HAS ANY DOUBT AS TO THE APPROPRIATENESS OF
                                 ANY ACTIVITY, BELIEVES THAT HE OR SHE HAS VIOLATED
                                 THE CODE, OR BECOMES AWARE OF A VIOLATION OF THE
                                 CODE BY ANOTHER EMPLOYEE, HE OR SHE SHOULD CONSULT

                                 The Code reflects the requirements of United States
                                 law, Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of
                                 1940, as amended on August 31, 2004, and Rule 204A-1
                                 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The term
                                 "Employee" for purposes of this Code, includes all
                                 Partners and employees worldwide (including
                                 temporary personnel compensated directly by

                                 to the extent that their tenure with Wellington

                                 Non-Public Information (i.e., "inside information"),
                                 accessible on the Wellington Management intranet,
                                 which applies to personal securities transactions as
                                 well as to client transactions.

ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS           Wellington Management requires that an Employee
REGARDING OPEN-END MUTUAL FUND   engaging in mutual fund investments ensure that all
TRANSACTIONS                     investments in open-end mutual funds comply with the
                                 funds' rules regarding purchases, redemptions, and
                                 exchanges.

                                 Wellington Management has a fiduciary relationship
                                 with the mutual funds and variable insurance
                                 portfolios for which it serves as investment adviser
                                 or sub-adviser, including funds organized outside
                                 the US ("Wellington Managed Funds"). Accordingly, an
                                 Employee may not engage in any activity in
                                 Wellington Managed Funds that might be perceived as
                                 contrary to or in conflict with the interests of
                                 such funds or their shareholders.

                                 The Code's personal trading reporting requirements
                                 extend to transactions and holdings in Wellington
                                 Managed Funds (excluding money market funds). A
                                 complete list of the Wellington Managed Funds is
                                 available to Employees via the Wellington Management
                                 intranet. Please refer to "Reporting and
                                 Certification Requirements" for further details.

POLICY ON PERSONAL SECURITIES    All Employees are required to clear their personal
TRANSACTIONS                     securities transactions (as defined below) prior to
                                 execution, report their transactions and holdings
                                 periodically, and refrain from transacting either in
                                 certain types of securities or during certain
                                 blackout periods as described in more detail in this
                                 section.

                                 EMPLOYEES SHOULD NOTE THAT WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT'S
                                 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WITH RESPECT TO PERSONAL
                                 SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS ALSO APPLY TO TRANSACTIONS
                                 BY A SPOUSE, DOMESTIC PARTNER, CHILD OR OTHER
                                 IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER RESIDING IN THE SAME
                                 HOUSEHOLD AS THE EMPLOYEE.

                                 COVERED ACCOUNTS

                                 Definition of "Personal Securities Transactions"

                                 A personal securities transaction is a transaction
                                 in which an Employee has a beneficial interest.

                                 Definition of "Beneficial Interest"

                                 An Employee is considered to have a beneficial
                                 interest in any transaction in which the Employee
                                 has the opportunity to directly or indirectly profit
                                 or share in the profit derived from the securities
                                 transacted. An Employee is presumed to have a
                                 beneficial interest in, and therefore an obligation
                                 to pre-clear and report, the following:

                                 1
                                 Securities owned by an Employee in his or her name.

                                 2
                                 Securities owned by an individual Employee
                                 indirectly through an account or investment vehicle
                                 for his or her benefit, such as an IRA, family trust
                                 or family partnership.

                                 3
                                 Securities owned in which the Employee has a joint
                                 ownership interest, such as property owned in a
                                 joint brokerage account.

                                 4
                                 Securities in which a member of the Employee's
                                 immediate family (e.g., spouse, domestic partner,
                                 minor children and other dependent relatives) has a
                                 direct,

CODE OF ETHICS

indirect or joint ownership interest if the
immediate family member resides in the same
household as the Employee.

5
Securities owned by trusts, private foundations or
other charitable accounts for which the Employee has
investment discretion (other than client accounts of
the firm).

If an Employee believes that he or she does not have
a beneficial interest in the securities listed
above, the Employee should provide the Global
Compliance Group (the "Compliance Group") with
satisfactory documentation that the Employee has no
beneficial interest in the security and exercises no
control over investment decisions made regarding the
security (see "Exceptions" below). Any question as
to whether an Employee has a beneficial interest in
a transaction, and therefore an obligation to
pre-clear and report the transaction, should be
directed to the Compliance Group.

Exceptions

If an Employee has a beneficial interest in an
account which the Employee feels should not be
subject to the Code's pre-clearance and reporting
requirements, the Employee should submit a written
request for clarification or an exemption to the
Global Compliance Manager. The request should name
the account, describe the nature of the Employee's
interest in the account, the person or firm
responsible for managing the account, and the basis
upon which the exemption is being claimed. Requests
will be considered on a case-by-case basis. An
example of a situation where grounds for an
exemption may be present is an account in which the
Employee has no influence or control (e.g., the
Employee has a professionally managed account over
which the Employee has given up discretion.

In all transactions involving such an account an
Employee should, however, conform to the spirit of
the Code and avoid any activity which might appear
to conflict with the interests of the firm's
clients, or with the Employee's position within
Wellington Management. In this regard, please refer
to the "Ethical Considerations Regarding
Confidentiality" section of this Code.

TRANSACTIONS SUBJECT TO PRE-CLEARANCE AND REPORTING
"COVERED TRANSACTIONS"

ALL EMPLOYEES MUST CLEAR THEIR PERSONAL SECURITIES
TRANSACTIONS PRIOR TO EXECUTION, EXCEPT AS
SPECIFICALLY EXEMPTED IN SUBSEQUENT SECTIONS OF THE
CODE. CLEARANCE FOR PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
FOR PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR
24 HOURS FROM THE TIME OF APPROVAL. TRANSACTIONS IN
THE FOLLOWING SECURITIES ARE "COVERED TRANSACTIONS"
AND THEREFORE MUST BE PRE-CLEARED AND REPORTED:

-    bonds (including municipal bonds)

-    stock (including shares of closed-end funds and
     funds organized outside the US that have a
     structure similar to that of closed-end funds)

-    exchange-traded funds not listed on Appendix A

-    notes

-    convertibles

-    preferreds

-    ADRs

-    single stock futures

-    limited partnership and limited liability
     company interests (for example, hedge funds not
     sponsored by Wellington Management or an
     affiliate)

-    options on securities

-    warrants, rights, etc., whether publicly traded
     or privately placed

See Appendix B for a summary of securities subject
to pre-clearance and reporting, securities subject
to reporting only, and securities exempt from pre-
clearance and reporting.

REQUESTING PRE-CLEARANCE

Pre-clearance for Covered Transactions must be
obtained by submitting a request via the
intranet-based Code of Ethics Compliance System
("COEC"). Approval must be obtained prior to placing
the trade with a broker. An Employee is responsible
for ensuring that the proposed transaction does not
violate Wellington Management's policies or
applicable securities laws and regulations by virtue
of the Employee's responsibilities at Wellington
Management or the information that he or she may
possess about the securities or the issuer. The
Compliance Group will maintain confidential records
of all requests for approval. Covered Transactions
offered through a participation in a private
placement (including both securities and partnership
interests) are

CODE OF ETHICS

subject to special clearance by the Chief Compliance
Officer or the General Counsel or their designees,
and the clearance will remain in effect for a
reasonable period thereafter, not to exceed 90 days
(See, "Private Placements").

An Employee wishing to seek an exemption from the
pre-clearance requirement for a security or
instrument not covered by an exception (see below)
that has similar characteristics to an excepted
security or transaction should submit a request in
writing to the Global Compliance Manager.

RESTRICTIONS ON COVERED TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER
RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL TRADING

Covered Transactions are restricted and will be
denied pre-clearance under the circumstances
described below. Please note that the following
restrictions on Covered Transactions apply equally
to the Covered Transaction and to instruments
related to the Covered Transaction. A related
instrument is any security or instrument issued by
the same entity as the issuer of the Covered
Transaction, including options, rights, warrants,
preferred stock, bonds and other obligations of that
issuer or instruments otherwise convertible into
securities of that issuer.

THE RESTRICTIONS AND BLACKOUT PERIODS PRESCRIBED
BELOW ARE DESIGNED TO AVOID CONFLICT WITH OUR
CLIENTS' INTERESTS. HOWEVER, PATTERNS OF TRADING
THAT MEET THE LETTER OF THE RESTRICTIONS BUT ARE
INTENDED TO CIRCUMVENT THE RESTRICTIONS ARE ALSO
PROHIBITED. IT IS EXPECTED THAT EMPLOYEES WILL
COMPLY WITH THE RESTRICTIONS BELOW IN GOOD FAITH AND
CONDUCT THEIR PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS IN
KEEPING WITH THE INTENDED PURPOSE OF THIS CODE.

1
Blackout Periods

No Employee may engage in Covered Transactions
involving securities or instruments which the
Employee knows are actively contemplated for
transactions on behalf of clients, even though no
buy or sell orders have been placed. This
restriction applies from the moment that an Employee
has been informed in any fashion that any Portfolio
Manager intends to purchase or sell a specific
security or instrument. This is a particularly
sensitive area and one in which each Employee must
exercise caution to avoid actions which, to his or
her knowledge, are in conflict or in competition
with the interests of clients.

CODE OF ETHICS

Employee Blackout Periods

An Employee will be denied pre-clearance for Covered
Transactions that are:

-    being bought or sold on behalf of clients until
     one trading day after such buying or selling is
     completed or canceled;

-    the subject of a new or changed action
     recommendation from a research analyst until 10
     business days following the issuance of such
     recommendation;

-    the subject of a re-issued but unchanged
     recommendation from a research analyst until 2
     business days following re-issuance of the
     recommendation.

Portfolio Manager Additional Blackout Period

In addition to the above, an Employee who is a
Portfolio Manager may not engage in a personal
transaction involving any security for 7 calendar
days prior to, and 7 calendar days following, a
transaction in the same security for a client
account managed by that Portfolio Manager without a
special exemption. See "Exemptive Procedures for
Personal Trading" below.

Portfolio Managers include all designated portfolio
managers and other investment professionals that
have portfolio management responsibilities for
client accounts or who have direct authority to make
investment decisions to buy or sell securities, such
as investment team members and analysts involved in
Research Equity portfolios.

2
Short Term Trading

No Employee may take a "short term trading" profit
with respect to a Covered Transaction, which means a
sale, closing of a short position or expiration of
an option at a gain within 60 calendar days of its
purchase (beginning on trade date plus one), without
a special exemption. See "Exemptive Procedures for
Personal Trading" on page 14. The 60-day trading
prohibition does not apply to transactions resulting
in a loss.

An Employee engaging in mutual fund investments must
ensure that all investments and transactions in
open-end mutual funds, including funds organized
outside the US, comply with the funds' rules
regarding purchases, redemptions, and exchanges.

CODE OF ETHICS

3
Securities of Brokerage Firms

An Employee engaged in Global Trading and an
Employee with portfolio management responsibility
for client accounts may not engage in personal
transactions involving any equity or debt securities
of any company whose primary business is that of a
broker/dealer. A company is deemed to be in the
primary business as a broker/dealer if it derives
more than 15 percent of its gross revenues from
broker/dealer related activities.

4
Short Sales, Options and Margin Transactions

THE CODE STRONGLY DISCOURAGES SHORT SALES, OPTIONS
AND MARGIN TRANSACTIONS. Subject to pre-clearance,
an Employee may engage in short sales, options and
margin transactions, however, an Employee engaging
in such transactions should recognize the danger of
being "frozen" or subject to a forced close out
because of the general restrictions that apply to
personal transactions as noted above. These types of
activities are risky not only because of the nature
of the transactions, but also because action
necessary to close out a position may become
prohibited under the Code while the position remains
open. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CLOSE OUT
SHORT SALES AND TRANSACTIONS IN DERIVATIVES. In
specific cases of hardship, an exception may be
granted by the Chief Compliance Officer or the
General Counsel with respect to an otherwise
"frozen" transaction.

Particular attention should be paid to margin
transactions. An Employee should understand that
brokers of such transactions generally have the
authority to automatically sell securities in the
Employee's brokerage account to cover a margin call.
Such sale transactions will be in violation of the
Code unless they are pre-cleared. An Employee
engaging in margin transactions should not expect
that exceptions will be granted after the fact for
these violations.

5
Derivatives

Transactions in derivative instruments shall be
restricted in the same manner as the underlying
security. An Employee engaging in derivative
transactions should also recognize the danger of
being "frozen" or subject to a forced close out
because of the general restrictions that apply to
personal transactions as described in more detail in
paragraph 4 above.

6
Initial Public Offerings ("IPOs")

No Employee may engage in personal transactions
involving the direct purchase of any security (debt
or equity) in an IPO (including initial offerings of
closed-end funds). This restriction also includes
new issues resulting from spin-offs, municipal
securities, and thrift conversions, although in
limited cases the purchase of such securities in an
offering may be approved by the Chief Compliance
Officer or the General Counsel upon determining that
approval would not violate any policy reflected in
this Code. This restriction does not apply to
initial offerings of open-end mutual funds, US
government issues or money market instruments.

7
Private Placements

AN EMPLOYEE MAY NOT PURCHASE SECURITIES IN A PRIVATE
PLACEMENT TRANSACTION (INCLUDING HEDGE FUNDS THAT
ARE NOT SPONSORED BY WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT OR ONE OF
ITS AFFILIATES) UNLESS APPROVAL OF THE CHIEF
COMPLIANCE OFFICER, THE GENERAL COUNSEL OR THEIR
RESPECTIVE DESIGNEES HAS BEEN OBTAINED. This
approval will be based upon a determination that the
investment opportunity need not be reserved for
clients, that the Employee is not being offered the
investment opportunity due to his or her employment
with Wellington Management, and other relevant
factors on a case-by-case basis.

8
Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") and HOLDRs

AN EMPLOYEE MAY NOT TRANSACT IN HOLDRS.

Transactions in exchange traded funds are permitted.
However, transactions in exchange traded funds not
listed on Appendix A are Covered Transactions that
must be pre-cleared and reported. Transactions in
exchange traded funds listed on Appendix A are not
Covered Transactions and accordingly, are not
subject to pre-clearance or reporting.

TRANSACTIONS SUBJECT TO REPORTING ONLY (NO NEED TO
PRE-CLEAR) Pre-clearance is not required, but
reporting is required for transactions in:

1
Open-end mutual funds and variable insurance
products that are managed by Wellington Management
or any of its affiliates, INCLUDING FUNDS ORGANIZED
OUTSIDE THE US THAT HAVE A STRUCTURE SIMILAR TO THAT
OF OPEN-END MUTUAL FUNDS,

if held outside of the Wellington Retirement and
Pension Plan ("WRPP"). A list of Wellington Managed
Funds is available via the Wellington Management
intranet.

2
Non-volitional transactions to include:

-    automatic dividend reinvestment and stock
     purchase plan acquisitions;

-    transactions that result from a corporate
     action applicable to all similar

security holders (such as splits, tender
offers, mergers, stock dividends, etc.).

3
Gift transactions to include:

-    gifts of securities to an Employee if the
     Employee has no control of the timing;

-    gifts of securities from an Employee to an
     individual so long as the recipient of the gift
     confirms in writing that the recipient has no
     present intention to sell the securities
     received from the Employee;

-    gifts of securities from an Employee to a
     not-for-profit organization. For this purpose,
     a not-for-profit organization includes only
     those trusts and other entities exclusively for
     the benefit of one or more not-for-profit
     organizations and does not include so-called
     split interest trusts (no writing is required);

-    gifts of securities from an Employee to other
     trusts or investment vehicles, including
     charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder
     trusts, family partnerships and family trusts,
     so long as the recipient of the gift confirms
     in writing that the recipient has no present
     intention to sell the securities received from
     the Employee.

Even if the gift of a security from an Employee does
not require pre-clearance under these rules, a
subsequent sale of the security by the recipient of
the gift must be pre-cleared and reported IF the
Employee is deemed to have a beneficial interest in
the security (for example, if the Employee has
investment discretion over the recipient or the
recipient is a family member living in the same
house as the Employee).

TRANSACTIONS EXEMPT FROM PRE-CLEARANCE AND REPORTING
Pre-clearance and reporting is not required for
transactions in:

-    US government securities

-    Exchange Traded Funds listed in Appendix A

-    money market instruments

                                 exemption is requested would not result in a

                                 the market capitalization of the issuer, the
                                 liquidity of the security, the amount and timing of
                                 client trading in the same or a related security,
                                 and other relevant factors.

                                 Any Employee seeking an exemption should submit a
                                 written request to the Chief Compliance Officer,
                                 Global Compliance Manager or the General Counsel,
                                 setting forth the nature of the hardship along with
                                 any pertinent facts and reasons why the employee
                                 believes that the exemption should be granted.
                                 Employees are cautioned that exemptions are intended
                                 to be exceptions, and repetitive requests for
                                 exemptions by an Employee are not likely to be
                                 granted.

                                 Records of the approval of exemptions and the
                                 reasons for granting exemptions will be maintained
                                 by the Compliance Group.

REPORTING AND CERTIFICATION      Records of personal securities transactions by
REQUIREMENTS                     Employees and their immediate family members will be
                                 maintained. All Employees are subject to the
                                 following reporting and certification requirements:

Initial Holdings Report

New Employees are required to file an Initial
Holdings Report and a Disciplinary Action Disclosure
form within ten (10) calendar days of joining the
firm. New Employees must disclose all of their
security holdings in Covered Transactions including
private placement securities, and Wellington Managed
Funds, at this time. New Employees are also required
to disclose all of their brokerage accounts or other
accounts holding Wellington Managed Funds (including
IRA Accounts, 529 Plans, custodial accounts and 401K
Plans outside of WRPP) at that time, even if the
only securities held in such accounts are mutual
funds. Personal trading is prohibited until these
reports are filed. The forms can be filed via the
COEC that is accessible on the Wellington Management
intranet.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO REPORT MUTUAL
FUNDS OR TRUST COMPANY POOLS HELD WITHIN THE WRPP
(THIS INFORMATION WILL BE OBTAINED FROM THE WRPP
ADMINISTRATOR); AND YOU NEED NOT REPORT WELLINGTON
MANAGED FUNDS THAT ARE MONEY MARKET FUNDS.

2
Duplicate Brokerage Confirmations and Statements for
Covered Transactions Employees may place securities
transactions with the broker of their choosing. All
Employees must require their securities brokers to
send duplicate confirmations of their Covered
Transactions and quarterly account statements to the
Compliance Group. Brokerage firms are accustomed to
providing this service.

To arrange for the delivery of duplicate
confirmations and quarterly statements, each
Employee must complete a Duplicate Confirmation
Request Form for each brokerage account that is used
for personal securities transactions of the Employee
and each account in which the Employee has a
beneficial interest and return the form to the
Compliance Group. The form can be obtained from the
Compliance Group. The form must be completed and
returned to the Compliance Group prior to any
transactions being placed with the broker. The
Compliance Group will process the request with the
broker in order to assure delivery of the
confirmations and quarterly statements directly to
the Compliance Group and to preserve the
confidentiality of this information. When possible,
the duplicate confirmation requirement will be
satisfied by

electronic means. Employees should not send the
completed forms to their brokers directly.

If under local market practice, brokers are not
willing to deliver duplicate confirmations and/or
quarterly statements to the Compliance Group, it is
the Employee's responsibility to provide promptly
the Compliance Group with a duplicate confirmation
(either a photocopy or facsimile) for each trade and
quarterly statement.

3
Duplicate Annual Statements for Wellington Managed
Funds. Employees must provide duplicate Annual
Statements to the Compliance Group with respect to
their holdings in Wellington Managed Funds.

4
Quarterly Reporting of Transactions and Brokerage
Accounts

SEC rules require that a quarterly record of all
personal securities transactions be submitted by
each person subject to the Code's requirements
within 30 calendar days after the end of each
calendar quarter and that this record be available
for inspection. To comply with these SEC rules,
every Employee must file a quarterly personal
securities transaction report electronically
utilizing the COEC accessible to all Employees via
the Wellington Management intranet by this deadline.

AT THE END OF EACH CALENDAR QUARTER, EMPLOYEES WILL
BE REMINDED OF THE SEC FILING REQUIREMENT. AN
EMPLOYEE THAT FAILS TO FILE WITHIN THE SEC'S 30
CALENDAR DAY DEADLINE WILL, AT A MINIMUM, BE
PROHIBITED FROM ENGAGING IN PERSONAL TRADING UNTIL
THE REQUIRED FILINGS ARE MADE AND MAY GIVE RISE TO
OTHER SANCTIONS.

Transactions during the quarter as periodically
entered via the COEC by the Employee are displayed
on the Employee's reporting screen and must be
affirmed if they are accurate. Holdings not acquired
through a broker and certain holdings that were not
subject to pre-clearance (as described below) must
also be entered by the Employee.

ALL EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A QUARTERLY
REPORT, EVEN IF THERE WERE NO REPORTABLE
TRANSACTIONS DURING THE QUARTER. THE QUARTERLY
REPORT MUST INCLUDE TRANSACTION INFORMATION
REGARDING:

     page 13); and

-    gift transactions (as described on page 13).

Transactions in Wellington Managed Funds and
non-volitional transactions must be reported even
though pre-clearance is not required. For
non-volitional transactions, the nature of the
transaction must be clearly specified in the report.
Non-volitional transactions include automatic
dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan
acquisitions, gifts of securities to and from the
Employee, and transactions that result from
corporate actions applicable to all similar security
holders (such as splits, tender offers, mergers,
stock dividends).

5
Annual Holdings Report

SEC Rules also require that each Employee file, on
an annual basis, a schedule indicating their
personal securities holdings as of December 31 of
each year by the following February 14th. SEC Rules
require that this report include the title, number
of shares and principal amount of each security held
in an Employee's personal account and the accounts
for which the Employee has a beneficial interest,
and the name of any broker, dealer or bank with whom
the Employee maintains an account. "Securities" for
purposes of this report are Covered Transactions,
Wellington Managed Funds and those that must be
reported as indicated in the prior section.

Employees are also required to disclose all of their
brokerage accounts at this time, even if the only
securities held in such accounts are mutual funds.

6
Quarterly Certifications

As part of the quarterly reporting process on the
COEC, Employees are required to confirm their
compliance with the provisions of this Code of
Ethics. In addition, each Employee is also required
to identify any issuer for which the Employee owns
more than 0.5% of the outstanding securities.

CODE OF ETHICS

-    An Employee cannot give or receive a gift,
     travel and entertainment opportunity or
     sensitive payment if, in doing so, it would
     create or appear to create a conflict with the
     interests of our clients or the firm, or have a
     detrimental impact on the firm's reputation.

-    With regard to gifts and entertainment
     opportunities covered and permitted under the
     Code, under no circumstances is it acceptable
     for an Employee to resell a gift or ticket to
     an entertainment event.

2
ACCEPTING GIFTS

The only gift (other than entertainment tickets)
that may be accepted by an Employee is a gift of
nominal value (i.e. a gift whose reasonable value is
no more than $100) and promotional items (e.g. pens,
mugs, t-shirts and other logo bearing items). Under
no circumstances may an Employee accept a gift of
cash, including a cash equivalent such as a gift
certificate, bond, security or other items that may
be readily converted to cash.

Acceptance of a gift that is directed to Wellington
Management as a firm should be cleared with the
Employee's Business Manager. Such a gift, if
approved, will be accepted on behalf of, and treated
as the property of, the firm.

If an Employee receives a gift that is prohibited
under the Code, it must be declined or returned in
order to protect the reputation and integrity of
Wellington Management. Any question as to the
appropriateness of any gift should be directed to
the Chief Compliance Officer, the General Counsel or
the Chair of the Ethics Committee.

3
ACCEPTING TRAVEL  AND ENTERTAINMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND
TICKETS

Wellington Management recognizes that occasional
participation in entertainment opportunities with
representatives from organizations with whom the
firm transacts business, such as clients, brokers,
vendors or other organizations, can be useful
relationship building exercises. Examples of such
entertainment opportunities are: lunches, dinners,
cocktail parties, golf outings or regular season
sporting events.

Accordingly, OCCASIONAL participation by an Employee
in such entertainment opportunities for legitimate
business purposes is permitted provided that:

Page 19

CODE OF ETHICS

-    a representative from the hosting organization
     attends the event with the Employee;

-    the primary purpose of the event is to discuss
     business or build a business relationship;

-    the Employee demonstrates high standards of
     personal behavior;

-    participation complies with the following
     requirements for entertainment tickets,
     lodging, car and limousine services, and air
     travel.

ENTERTAINMENT TICKETS

An Employee occasionally may accept ONE TICKET to an
entertainment event ONLY IF THE HOST WILL ATTEND THE
EVENT WITH THE EMPLOYEE AND THE FACE VALUE OF THE
TICKET OR ENTRANCE FEE IS $200 OR LESS, not
including the value of food that may be provided to
the Employee before, during, or after the event. An
Employee is required to obtain prior approval from
his or her Business Manager before accepting any
other entertainment opportunity.

An Employee is strongly discouraged from
participating in the following situations and may
not participate unless prior approval from his/her
Business Manager is obtained:

-    the entertainment ticket has a face value above
     $200; if approved by a Business Manager, the
     Employee is required to reimburse the host for
     the full face value of the ticket;

-    the Employee wants to accept more than one
     ticket; if approved by a Business Manager, the
     Employee is required to reimburse the host for
     the aggregate face value of the tickets
     regardless of each ticket's face value;

-    the entertainment event is unusual or high
     profile (e.g., a major sporting event); if
     approved by a Business Manager, the Employee is
     required to reimburse the host for the full
     face value of the ticket regardless of what the
     face value might be;

-    the host has extended an invitation to the
     entertainment event to numerous Employees.

Business Managers must clear their own participation
in the above situations with the Chief Compliance
Officer or Chair of the Ethics Committee.

EACH EMPLOYEE MUST FAMILIARIZE HIMSELF/HERSELF WITH,
AND ADHERE TO, ANY ADDITIONAL POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES REGARDING ENTERTAINMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND
TICKETS THAT MAY BE ENFORCED BY HIS/HER BUSINESS
MANAGER.

LODGING

An Employee is not permitted to accept a gift of
lodging in connection with any entertainment
opportunity. Rather, an Employee must pay for
his/her own lodging expense in connection with any
entertainment opportunity. If an Employee
participates in an entertainment opportunity for
which lodging is arranged and paid for by the host,
the Employee must reimburse the host for the
equivalent cost of the lodging, as determined by
Wellington Management's Travel Manager. It is the
Employee's responsibility to ensure that the host
accepts the reimbursement and whenever possible,
arrange for reimbursement prior to attending the
entertainment event. Lodging connected to an
Employee's business travel will be paid for by
Wellington.

CAR AND LIMOUSINE SERVICES

An Employee must exercise reasonable judgment with
respect to accepting rides in limousines and with
car services. Except where circumstances warrant
(e.g., where safety is a concern), an Employee is
discouraged from accepting limousine and car
services paid for by a host when the host is not
present.

AIR TRAVEL

An Employee is not permitted to accept a gift of air
travel in connection with any entertainment
opportunity. Rather, an Employee must pay for
his/her own air travel expense in connection with
any entertainment opportunity. If an Employee
participates in an entertainment opportunity for
which air travel is arranged and paid for by the
host, the Employee must reimburse the host for the
equivalent cost of the air travel, as determined by
Wellington Management's Travel Manager. It is the
Employee's responsibility to ensure that the host
accepts the reimbursement and whenever possible,
arrange for reimbursement prior to attending the
entertainment event. Use of private aircraft or
charter flights arranged by the host for
entertainment related travel is prohibited. Air
travel that is connected to an Employee's business
travel will be paid for by Wellington Management.

4
SOLICITATION OF GIFTS, CONTRIBUTIONS, OR
SPONSORSHIPS

An Employee may not solicit gifts, entertainment
tickets, gratuities, contributions (including
charitable contributions), or sponsorships from
brokers, vendors, clients or companies in which the
firm invests or conducts research. Similarly, an
Employee is prohibited from making such requests
through Wellington Management's Trading Department
or any other Wellington

5
GIVING GIFTS (other than Entertainment
Opportunities)

In appropriate circumstances, it may be acceptable
for the firm or its Employees to extend gifts to
clients or others who do business with Wellington
Management. Gifts of cash (including cash
equivalents such as gift certificates, bonds,
securities or other items that may be readily
converted to cash) or excessive or extravagant
gifts, as measured by the total value or quantity of
the gift(s), are prohibited. Gifts with a face value
in excess of $100 must be cleared by the Employee's
Business Manager.

An Employee should be certain that the gift does not
give rise to a conflict with client interests, or
the appearance of a conflict, and that there is no
reason to believe that the gift violates any
applicable code of conduct of the recipient. Gifts
are permitted only when made in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations, and in accordance
with generally accepted business practices in the
various countries and jurisdictions where Wellington
Management does business.

6
GIVING ENTERTAINMENT OPPORTUNITIES

An Employee is not permitted to source tickets to
entertainment events from Wellington Management's
Trading Department or any other Wellington
Management Department or employee, brokers, vendors,
or other organizations with whom the firm transacts
business (this prohibition does not extend to
personal gifts or offers of Employee owned tickets
between Employees). Similarly, an Employee is
prohibited from sourcing tickets on behalf of
clients or prospects from ticket vendors.

                                 dismissal. Since many provisions of the Code also
                                 reflect provisions of the US securities laws,
                                 Employees should be aware that violations could also
                                 lead to regulatory enforcement action resulting in
                                 suspension or expulsion from the securities
                                 business, fines and penalties, and imprisonment.

                                 General Counsel, the Chair of the Ethics Committee

                                 jointly decide if the violation or potential
                                 violation should be discussed with the Ethics
                                 Committee, the Employee's Business Manager, and/or
                                 the firm's senior management. Further, a violation
                                 or potential violation of the Code by an Associate
                                 or Partner of the firm will be discussed with the
                                 Managing Partners. Sanctions for a violation of the
                                 Code may be determined by the Ethics Committee, the
                                 Employee's Business Manager, senior management, or
                                 the Managing Partners depending on the Employee's
                                 position at the firm and the nature of the
                                 violation.

                                 Transactions that violate the Code's personal
                                 trading restrictions will presumptively be subject
                                 to being reversed and any profit realized from the
                                 position disgorged, unless the Employee establishes
                                 to the satisfaction of the Ethics Committee that
                                 under the particular circumstances disgorgement
                                 would be an unreasonable remedy for the violation.
                                 If disgorgement is required, the proceeds shall be
                                 paid to any client disadvantaged by the transaction,
                                 or to a charitable organization, as determined by
                                 the Ethics Committee. Violations of the Code's
                                 reporting and certification requirements will result
                                 in a suspension of personal trading privileges and
                                 may give rise to other sanctions.
