8(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. However, beneficial
interests in the Registrant are not being registered under the Securities Act of

Offering Circular

DOW JONES ISLAMIC MARKET INDEX PORTFOLIO

The date of this Offering Circular is April 30, 2002.

In making an investment decision investors must rely on their own examination of
the issuer and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks
involved. Beneficial interests in the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index Portfolio
(the "Portfolio") have not been recommended by any U.S. Federal or state or
non-U.S. securities commissions or regulatory authority. Furthermore, none of
the foregoing authorities has confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy
of this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Beneficial interests in the Portfolio have not and will not be registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), and will be issued solely
in private placement transactions that do not involve a public offering within
the meaning of Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. Beneficial interests in the
Portfolio may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the 1933
Act and any applicable state or other securities laws pursuant to registration
or exemption therefrom. There will be no public market for beneficial interests

1. Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Portfolio is to provide investors with long-term
capital growth by investing in a diversified compilation of equity securities
considered to be in compliance with Shari'ah principles.

2. Principal Investment Strategies

The assets of the Portfolio are fully invested, under normal market conditions,
in securities that are included in the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index (DJIMI)
investable universe, the selection criteria for which are set forth below.
Uninvested cash is maintained in the smallest amount reasonably possible and is
invested in a manner compliant with Shari'ah principles, including non-interest
earning deposits.

Shari'ah Selection Criteria

Dow Jones' selection process begins by excluding those firms that do not meet
specific business line and financial requirements. The selection criteria and
key features for inclusion of a company in the DJIMI and, in turn, the Portfolio
are as follows:

Specifically, the DJIMI and the Portfolio exclude firms with the following
product lines. These incompatible lines of business are removed from the
"universe" of stocks considered for the DJIMI.

o Alcohol
o Pork related products
o Financial services (banking, insurance, etc.)
o Entertainment (hotels, casinos/gambling, cinema, pornography, music,
etc.)
o Tobacco
o Defense/weapons

Other companies classified in other industry groups may also be excluded if they
are deemed by the Dow Jones Shari'ah Supervisory Board to have a material
ownership in or revenues from prohibited business activities. After removing
companies with unacceptable primary business activities, the remaining universe
is tested by three financial-ratio "filters". The purpose is to remove companies
with unacceptable financial ratios.

The filters exclude companies if:

o Total debt divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization
is equal to or greater than 33%. (Note: total debt = short term debt +
current portion of long-term debt + long-term debt);

o Accounts receivables divided by total assets is equal to or greater
than 45%. (Note: accounts receivables = current receivables + long-term
receivables); or

o The sum of cash and interest bearing securities divided by trailing
12-month average market capitalization is equal to or greater than 33%.

Companies that pass these screens are included in the DJIMI's investable
universe, from which DJIMI components are selected.

Shari'ah Supervisory Board

Dow Jones' Shari`ah Supervisory Board has approved of the above criteria and any
changes in the Dow Jones' Shari'ah Supervisory Board or the selection criteria
are at the sole discretion of Dow Jones. Changes by Dow Jones in the selection
criteria or the composition of the DJIMI are reflected in the composition of the
Portfolio within a reasonable period of time, which under normal circumstances
is within several days after the changes are implemented in the DJIMI.

Benchmark

The Portfolio seeks to provide a return consistent with the Dow Jones Islamic
Market Extra Liquid Indexsm (Index) by matching as closely as possible the
return and volatility of the Index. The Index is comprised of the 100 most
liquid securities in the DJIMI. There is no guarantee that the Portfolio will
achieve the same return as the Index. The Portfolio may purchase a sub-group of
equities from those contained in the Index that the Investment Manager believes
will best track the Index. When purchasing a sub-group of equities, the
Investment Manager considers the cost of acquiring and holding a security as
well as the effect on the Fund's total return of not holding that security.

The approximate geographic distribution of the market capitalization of the
Index is: Americas (67%), Europe (27%), and Asia (6%).

The following sectors are represented in the Index: Health Care (24%);
Technology (26%); Telecommunication (14%); Energy (14%); Consumer Cyclical (7%);
Non-Consumer Cyclical (6%); Industrial (5%); Others (3%). The above composition
is estimated and will change over time.

3. Principal Risk Factors

The principal risks of investing in the Portfolio and the circumstances
reasonably likely to adversely affect an investment are described below. An
investor may lose money by investing in the Portfolio.

The principal risks of investing in the Portfolio are:

o Market Risk:

This is the risk that the value of a security held by the Portfolio falls
due to changing economic, political or market conditions, or due to a
company's individual situation.

o Index Investing Risk:

Unlike non-index investment portfolios, the Portfolio is not engaged in
buying and selling of securities based upon economic, financial, and market
analysis and/or investment judgment. Instead the Portfolio is invested
under an indexed investment approach, which attempts to approximate the
investment performance and volatility of the Index. Therefore, an investor
should not expect to achieve the potentially greater results that could be
obtained by investment portfolios that aggressively seek growth or
investment portfolios that attempt to limit losses in a falling market.

The Portfolio uses a model to evaluate the Index's risk factors and may
construct a representative sample of the Index that has a similar risk
exposure to the Index. The strategy of investing in a representative sample
of Index components may result in some deviation between Portfolio
performance and that of the Index. The Portfolio's return may also be lower
than that of the Index because the Portfolio incurs brokerage commissions,
transaction fees and other expenses. However, transaction costs will likely
be lower than typical stock funds because of lower portfolio turnover. In
addition, the Portfolio's ability to approximate the Index return will
depend to a certain extent on cash flow into and out of the Portfolio. Even
if the Portfolio's investments were fairly representative of the Index its
return could differ because of differences in how the Portfolio and the
Index are valued. The Index is valued by Dow Jones, which may use different
closing prices, currency exchange rates or dividend reinvestment
assumptions than the Portfolio does.

o Foreign Investment Risk:

Changes in political or social conditions, diplomatic relations,
confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization, limitation on the
removal of funds or assets, or imposition of (or change in) exchange
control or tax regulations may adversely affect the value of such
investments. Changes in government administrations or economic or monetary
policies in the United States or other countries could result in
appreciation or depreciation of portfolio securities and could favorably or
unfavorably affect the operations of the Portfolio. The economies of
individual foreign nations differ from the U.S. economy, whether favorably
or unfavorably, in areas such as growth of gross domestic product, rate of
inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of
payments position. It may be more difficult to obtain and enforce a
judgment against a foreign company. Dividends paid by foreign issuers may
be subject to withholding and other foreign taxes which may decrease the
net return on foreign investments as compared to dividends paid by domestic
companies.

In addition, while the volume of transactions effected on foreign stock
exchanges has increased in recent years, in most cases it remains
appreciably below that of the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, foreign
investments are less liquid and their prices are more volatile than
comparable investments in securities of U.S. companies. Moreover, the
settlement periods for foreign securities, which are often longer than
those for securities of U.S. companies, may affect portfolio liquidity. In
buying and selling securities on foreign exchanges, fixed commissions are
normally paid that are generally higher than the negotiated commissions
charged in the United States. In addition, there is generally less
government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers and
companies in foreign countries than in the United States.

The foreign investments made by the Portfolio are made in compliance with
the currency regulations and tax laws of the United States and foreign
governments. There may also be foreign government regulations and laws that
restrict the amounts and types of foreign investments.

Because securities in the Portfolio are denominated and pay dividends in
various currencies, and the Portfolio holds various foreign currencies from
time to time, the value of the net assets of the Portfolio as measured in
U.S. dollars is affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in exchange
rates. The Portfolio also incurs costs in connection with conversion
between various currencies.

o Developing Countries Investment Risk:

The Portfolio may invest its assets in securities of issuers based in
developing countries. Investments in securities of issuers in developing
countries may involve a high degree of risk and many may be considered
speculative. These investments carry all of the risks of investing in
securities of foreign issuers outlined in this section to a heightened
degree. These heightened risks include: (i) greater risks of expropriation,
confiscatory taxation, nationalization, and less social, political and
economic stability;(ii) the small current size of the markets for
securities of issuers in developing countries and the currently low or
non-existent volume of trading resulting in lack of liquidity and in price
volatility; (iii) certain national policies which may restrict the
Portfolio's investment opportunities including restrictions on investing in
issuers or industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests; and
(iv) the absence of developed legal structures governing private or foreign
investment and private property.

o Industry Concentration Risk:

The Portfolio may have a significant portion of its assets invested in
the technology sector. Rapid advances in the technology industry may
cause existing products to become obsolete, which could have a negative
impact on the Portfolio's returns to the extent it holds an affected
company's shares. Companies in a number of technology industries are
also subject to government regulations and approval processes that may
affect their overall profitability and cause their stock prices to be
more volatile.

o Non-Diversification Risk.

The Portfolio is classified as "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act, which
means that it is not limited by the 1940 Act with respect to the proportion
of its assets which may be invested in securities of a single issuer
(although certain diversification requirements are imposed by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). The increase or decrease in the value of
a single stock held by the Portfolio could therefore have a greater impact
on the Portfolio and its net asset value may fluctuate more than a
comparable diversified fund.

Shari'ah Investment Risk.

It is possible that the Shari'ah selection criteria used by Dow Jones to
create the Index may result in the Portfolio performing less well than
portfolios with similar investment objectives that are not subject to
Shari'ah selection criteria. In addition, unlike portfolios that are not
subject to Shari'ah governance, the impure portion of any dividends
received by the Portfolio are segregated from the assets of the Portfolio
and are donated to charitable causes.

Investments in the Portfolio are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
Government. Beneficial interests in the Portfolio are not deposits of or
obligations of, or guaranteed by, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. or any
other bank, and the beneficial interest are not insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other
federal, state or other governmental agency.

4. Investment Manager and Investment Adviser

The Investment Manager is Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., Private
Bankers, 59 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005, a New York limited partnership
established in 1818. The firm is subject to examination and regulation by the
Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York and by the Department of
Banking of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The firm is also subject to
supervision and examination by the Commissioner of Banks of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.

Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. provides portfolio management services to
the Portfolio. Subject to the general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees
and based upon advice given by Wafra Investment Advisory Group, Inc. (the
"Investment Adviser"), Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. makes the day-to-day
investment decisions for the Portfolio, places the purchase and sale orders for
portfolio transactions, and generally manages the Portfolio's investments. Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. provides a broad range of investment management services
for customers in the United States and abroad. At June 30, 2001, it managed
total assets of approximately $38 billion.

The Portfolio is managed on a day to day basis by a team of individuals,
which includes Mr. Jeffrey A. Schoenfeld and Mr. G. Scott Clemons. Mr.
Schoenfeld holds a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley and a M.B.A.
from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He joined Brown
Brothers Harriman in 1984. Mr. Clemons holds an A.B. from Princeton University
and is a Chartered Financial Analyst. He joined Brown Brothers Harriman in 1990.

The Investment Adviser of the Portfolio is Wafra Investment Advisory
Group, Inc., 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10154, a U.S. registered investment
adviser. Founded in 1985, the Investment Adviser together with its affiliate
companies manages in excess of $3 billion, specializing in global fund
management, securities portfolio management, direct equity investment, real
estate investment and private asset management to major financial institutions
from the Gulf as well as other companies and high net worth individuals. The
Investment Adviser acts as U.S. investment adviser for numerous investment funds
and managed accounts, including other Islamic funds and products.

For the services provided and the expenses borne pursuant to the
Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreement, the
Investment Manager and the Investment Adviser jointly will receive from the
Portfolio as full compensation therefrom an aggregate fee at an annual rate
equal to 0.40% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. This fee will be
computed based on net assets at 4:00 P.M. New York time on each day the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading, will be paid monthly during the succeeding
calendar month and will be shared between the Investment Manager and the
Investment Adviser as from time to time may be agreed upon by the Investment
Manager and the Investment Adviser.

5. Investor Information

The net asset value of the Portfolio is normally determined each day the New
York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. This determination is made once
each business day as of 4:00 p.m. New York time. The net asset value of the
Portfolio may change on days when an investor will not be able to invest in the
Portfolio or reduce all or any portion of its investment in the Portfolio.

The Portfolio determines the value of each security held by the Portfolio with
advice from the Investment Manager and Investment Adviser as to the broadest and
most representative market for such securities. Any security for which the
primary market is on a securities exchange is valued at the last sale price on
such exchange on the valuation day or, if no sale occurred on that day, at the
most recent quoted bid price on that day. Such securities, as well as other
securities for which the primary market is believed to be over-the-counter, are
valued at the most recent quoted bid price provided by one or more principal
market makers. Securities or other assets for which market prices are not
readily available will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Trustees with the advice of the
Investment Manager and Investment Adviser.

Beneficial interests in the Portfolio are issued solely in private placement
transactions. Investments in the Portfolio may only be made by other investment
companies, insurance company separate accounts, common or commingled trust
funds, or similar organizations or entities which are "accredited investors."
This Registration Statement does not constitute an offer to sell, or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, any "security" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act").

An investment in the Portfolio may be made without a sales load. All investments
are made at net asset value next determined after an order is received in "good
order" by the Portfolio.

There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment in the Portfolio. However,
because the Portfolio intends to be as fully invested at all times as is
reasonably practicable in order to enhance the return on its assets, investments
must be made in federal funds (i.e., monies credited to the custodian of the
Portfolio's account by a Federal Reserve Bank).

The Portfolio reserves the right to cease accepting investments at any time or
to reject any investment order.

An investor in the Portfolio may reduce all or any portion of its investment at
the net asset value next determined after a request in "good order" is furnished
by the investor to the Portfolio. Except as provided below, the proceeds of a
reduction will be paid by the Portfolio in federal funds within five Portfolio
business days after the reduction is effected.

The right of any investor to receive payment with respect to any reduction may
be suspended or the payment of the proceeds therefrom postponed during any
period in which the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than weekends or
holidays) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted or, if an
emergency exists.

The Portfolio reserves the right under certain circumstances, such as
accommodating requests for substantial withdrawals or liquidations, to pay
distributions in kind to investors (i.e., to distribute portfolio securities as
opposed to cash). If securities are distributed, an investor could incur
brokerage, tax or other charges in converting the securities to cash. In
addition, distribution in kind may result in a less diversified portfolio of
investments or adversely affect the liquidity of the Portfolio.

Periodic Review

The DJIMI is reviewed quarterly and annually by the Shari'ah
Supervisory Board and by Dow Jones for consideration of exclusion or inclusion
of components. In addition, the Index is reviewed on an on-going basis to
contemplate changes as a result of extraordinary events (e.g. delisting,
bankruptcy, merger, takeover, etc.).

The following discussion supplements the information regarding the
investment objective of the Portfolio and the policies to be employed to achieve
this objective as set forth above and in Part A.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Equity investments may or may not pay dividends and may or may not
carry voting rights. Common stock occupies the most junior position in a
company's capital structure. Convertible securities entitle the holder to
exchange the securities for a specified number of shares of common stock,
usually of the same company, at specified prices within a certain period of time
and to receive interest or dividends until the holder elects to convert. The
provisions of any convertible security determine its ranking in a company's
capital structure. In the case of subordinated convertible debentures, the
holder's claims on assets and earnings are subordinated to the claims of other
creditors, and are senior to the claims of preferred and common shareholders. In
the case of convertible preferred stock, the holder's claims on assets and
earnings are subordinated to the claims of all creditors and are senior to the
claims of common shareholders.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

Foreign exchange contracts are made with currency dealers, usually large
commercial banks and financial institutions. Although foreign exchange rates are
volatile, foreign exchange markets are generally liquid with the equivalent of
approximately $500 billion traded worldwide on a typical day.

OTHER INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES

Cash is held for the Portfolio in demand deposit accounts with Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. as the Portfolio's custodian bank (the "Custodian").

RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Securities that have legal or contractual
restrictions on their resale may be acquired for the Portfolio. The price paid
for these securities, or received upon resale, may be lower than the price paid
or received for similar securities with a more liquid market. Accordingly, the
valuation of these securities reflects any limitation on their liquidity. (See
"Investment Restrictions".)

WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. Securities may be purchased
for the Portfolio on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. For example,
delivery and payment may take place a month or more after the date of the
transaction. The purchase price and the interest rate payable on the securities,
if any, are fixed on the transaction date. The securities so purchased are
subject to market fluctuation and no income accrues to the Portfolio until
delivery and payment take place. At the time the commitment to purchase
securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis is made, the transaction
is recorded and thereafter the value of such securities is reflected each day in
determining the Portfolio's net asset value. The Portfolio maintains with the
Custodian a separate account with a segregated portfolio of securities in an
amount at least equal to these commitments. At the time of its acquisition, a
when-issued or delayed delivery security may be valued at less than the purchase
price. Commitments for such when-issued or delayed delivery securities are made
only when there is an intention of actually acquiring the securities. On
delivery dates for such transactions, such obligations are met from maturities
or sales of securities and/or from cash flow. If the right to acquire a when-
issued or delayed delivery security is disposed of prior to its acquisition, the
Portfolio could, as with the disposition of any other portfolio obligation,
incur a gain or loss due to market fluctuation. When-issued or delayed delivery
commitments for the Portfolio may not be entered into if such commitments exceed
in the aggregate 15% of the market value of its total assets, less liabilities
other than the obligations created by when-issued or delayed delivery
commitments.

INVESTMENT COMPANY SECURITIES. Subject to applicable statutory and
regulatory limitations, the assets of the Portfolio may be invested in shares of
other investment companies. Under the 1940 Act, assets of the Portfolio may be
invested in shares of other investment companies in connection with a merger,
consolidation, acquisition or reorganization or if immediately after such
investment (i) 10% or less of the market value of the Portfolio's total assets
could be so invested, (ii) 5% or less of the market value of the Portfolio's
total assets would be invested in the shares of any one such company, and (iii)
3% or less of the total outstanding voting stock of any other investment company
would be owned by the Portfolio. As a shareholder of another investment company,
the Portfolio would bear, along with other shareholders, its pro rata portion of
the other investment company's expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses
would be in addition to the advisory and other expenses that the Portfolio bears
directly in connection with its own operations.

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT INFORMATION

In response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, the
Portfolio may make temporary investments that are not consistent with its
investment objective and principal investment strategies. Such investments may
prevent the Portfolio from achieving its investment objective.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Portfolio is operated under the following investment restrictions which
are deemed fundamental policies and may be changed only with the approval of the
holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), of the Portfolio.
As used in this Part B, the term "majority of the outstanding voting securities"
as defined in the 1940 Act currently means the vote of (i) 67% or more of the
voting securities present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities are present in person or represented by proxy; or
(ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities, whichever is less.

The Portfolio may not:

(1) borrow money or mortgage or hypothecate its assets except that in an
amount not to exceed 1/3 of the current value of its net assets and in a manner
not to contravene Islamic Shari'ah principles, it may borrow money as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, and except that it
may pledge, mortgage or hypothecate not more than 1/3 of such assets to secure
such borrowings (it is intended that money will be borrowed only from banks and
only either to accommodate requests for the withdrawal of part or all of an
interest in the Portfolio, as the case may be, while effecting an orderly
liquidation of portfolio securities or to maintain liquidity in the event of an
unanticipated failure to complete a portfolio security transaction or other
similar situations), and except that assets may be pledged to secure letters of
credit solely for the purpose of participating in a captive insurance company
sponsored by the Investment Company Institute

(2) earn interest on its capital;

(3) purchase any security which is not included in the Dow Jones
Islamic Market Index (SM);

(4) hold uninvested cash in interest bearing deposits or invest such
uninvested cash in a manner that would not be in compliance with Shari'ah
principles;

(5) acquire the securities of one issuer if upon such purchase the value of
the Portfolio's holdings of such securities would exceed 10% of its net assets;

(6) invest in fixed income investments;

(7) underwrite securities issued by other persons except insofar as it may
technically be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act") in selling a portfolio security;

(8) purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership interests
but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests therein), interests
in oil, gas or mineral leases, commodities or commodity contracts in the
ordinary course of business (the freedom of action to hold and to sell real
estate acquired as a result of the ownership of securities is reserved);

(9) concentrate its investments in any particular industry, but if it is
deemed appropriate for the achievement of its investment objective, up to 25% of
its assets, at market value at the time of each investment, may be invested in
any one industry;

(10) issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) if
such issuance is specifically prohibited by the 1940 Act or the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Portfolio will interpret fundamental restriction (10) above as
prohibiting the Portfolio from issuing any senior security except to the extent
permitted under the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified from time to time by
any authorized regulatory authority.

POS AMI 9th “Page” of 17 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 9th
NON-FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTIONS. The Portfolio may not as a matter of
operating policy: (i) purchase securities of any investment company if such
purchase at the time thereof would cause more than 10% of its total assets
(taken at the greater of cost or market value) to be invested in the securities
of such issuers or would cause more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities
of any such issuer to be held for it; (ii) knowingly invest in securities which
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale if, as a result
thereof, more than 10% of its net assets (taken at market value) would be so
invested; (iii) enter into forward contracts and write, purchase or sell any put
or call option or any combination thereof, provided that this shall not prevent
the purchase, ownership, holding or sale of warrants where the grantor of the
warrants is the issuer of the underlying securities; purchase any security or
evidence of interest therein on margin; or (iv) make short sales of securities
or maintain a short position, unless at all times when a short position is open
it owns an equal amount of such securities or securities convertible into or
exchangeable, without payment of any further consideration, for securities of
the same issue as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short, and unless
not more than 10% of its net assets (taken at market value) is represented by
such securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such
securities, at any one time (it is the present intention of management to make
such sales only for the purpose of deferring realization of gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes; such sales would not be made of securities subject
to outstanding options).

These policies are not fundamental and may be changed without investor
approval. As a matter of operating policy, the Portfolio does not borrow money
or lend its securities.

PERCENTAGE RESTRICTIONS. If a percentage restriction on investment or
utilization of assets set forth herein or referred to in Part A is adhered to at
the time an investment is made or assets are so utilized, a later change in
percentage resulting from changes in the value of the portfolio securities of a
portfolio security is not considered a violation of policy.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Portfolio's Trustees, in addition to supervising the actions of the
Portfolio's Investment Adviser, the Administrator and the Placement Agent, as
set forth below, decide upon matters of general policy with respect to the
Portfolio. The Board meets at least quarterly to review the investment
performance of the Portfolio and other operational matters, including policies
and procedures designed to promote compliance with various regulatory
requirements. At least annually, the Trustees of the Portfolio who are not
"interested persons" thereof (as defined in the 1940 Act) (the "Independent
Trustees") review the fees paid to the Investment Adviser for investment
advisory services, and evaluate, among other things, the quality of such
services and comparative fee information with respect to similar investment
companies. The Independent Trustees are assisted in this process by independent
legal counsel. As of the date of this Part B, no Trustee of the Portfolio is an
"interested person" of the Portfolio.

The Independent Trustees serve on an Audit Committee that selects the
independent public accounts for the Fund and review accounting policies and
controls. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the last fiscal year.

The Portfolio's Trustees receive no compensation for their services. By
virtue of the responsibilities assumed by the Investment Adviser, Investment
Manager and the Administrator, the Portfolio requires no employees other than
its officers, and none of its officers devote full time to the affairs of the
Portfolio or receive any compensation from the Portfolio.

ITEM 14. CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES.

As of April 15, 2002, Albaraka Dow Jones Islamic Index Fund owned 99%
of the outstanding beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

Interest holders owning more than 25% of the outstanding beneficial
interests in the Portfolio have informed the Portfolio that whenever it is
requested to vote on matters pertaining to the Portfolio (other than a vote by
the Portfolio to continue the operation of the Portfolio upon the withdrawal of
another investor in the Portfolio), it will hold a meeting of its investors and
will cast its vote as instructed by those investors.

ITEM 15. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES.

Under the Investment Management Agreement with the Portfolio, subject to
the general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees and in conformance with the
stated policies of the Portfolio, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the "Investment
Manager") provides investment management services to the Portfolio. The
Investment Manager will make all investment decisions for the Portfolio based
upon the advice given by Wafra Investment Advisory Group, Inc. (the "Investment
Adviser") but subject to the overall direction and control of the Trustees of
the Portfolio.

The investment management services of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. to the
Portfolio are not exclusive under the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. is free to and does render investment
management services to others, including other registered investment companies.

The Investment Management Agreement between Brown Brothers Harriman &
Co. and the Portfolio is dated March 5, 1999 and remains in effect for two years
from such date and thereafter, but only as long as the agreement is specifically
approved at least (see "Investment Manager") annually (i) by a vote of the
holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities as defined in the
1940 Act" of the Portfolio, or by the Portfolio's Trustees, and (ii) by a vote
of a majority of the Trustees of the Portfolio who are not parties to the
Investment Management Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940
Act) of the Portfolio ("Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The Investment Management
Agreement was most recently approved by the Independent Trustees on August 7,
2001. The Investment Management Agreement terminates automatically if assigned
and is terminable at any time without penalty by a vote of a majority of the
Trustees of the Portfolio or by a vote of the holders of a "majority of the
outstanding voting securities as defined in the 1940 Act" of the Portfolio on
three months' written notice to Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. and by Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. on three months' written notice to the Portfolio.

Under its Investment Advisory Agreement with the Portfolio, subject to the
general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees and in conformance with the
stated policies of the Portfolio, Wafra Investment Advisory Group, Inc. (the
"Investment Adviser") provides investment advisory services to the Portfolio.

The investment advisory services of the Investment Adviser to the Portfolio
are not exclusive under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The
Investment Adviser is free to and does render investment advisory services to
others, including other registered investment companies.

The Investment Advisory Agreement between Wafra Investment Advisory
Group, Inc. and the Portfolio is dated March 5, 1999 and remains in effect for
two years from such date and thereafter, but only as long as the agreement is
specifically approved at least annually in the same manner as the Investment
Management Agreement. The Investment Advisory Agreement was most recently
approved by the Independent Trustees on August 7, 2001. The Investment Advisory
Agreement terminates automatically if assigned and is terminable at any time
without penalty by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Portfolio or by a
vote of the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities as
defined in the 1940 Act" of the Portfolio on 60 days' written notice to the
Investment Adviser and by the Investment Adviser on 90 days' written notice to
the Portfolio.

The Investment Adviser and the Investment Manager jointly receive from the
Portfolio a fee calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equivalent
to 0.40% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the period July 1,
1999 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1999, the Portfolio incurred
$30,655 in investment management/advisory fees (of which the Investment Adviser
received $_______ and the Investment Manager received $_______). For the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2000, the Portfolio incurred $73,495 in investment
management/advisory fees (of which the Investment Adviser received $46,182 and
the Investment Manager received $27,313). For the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001, the Portfolio incurred $93,615 in investment management/advisory fees (of
which the Investment Advisor and the Investment Manager each received $46,807).

Brown Brothers Harriman Trust Company, LLC, in its capacity as
Administrator, administers all aspects of the Portfolio's operations subject to
the supervision of the Trustees except as set forth above under "Investment
Adviser" and "Investment Manager". In connection with its responsibilities as
Administrator and at its own expense, Brown Brothers Harriman Trust Company, LLC
(i) provides the Portfolio with the services of persons competent to perform
such supervisory, administrative and clerical functions as are necessary in
order to provide effective administration of the Portfolio, including the
maintenance of certain books and records, receiving and processing requests for

Portfolio incurred $20,000 in each year in administration fees.

The Administration Agreement between the Portfolio and Brown Brothers
Harriman Trust Company, LLC (dated March 5, 1999) will remain in effect for
successive annual periods, but only so long as the agreement is specifically
approved at least annually in the same manner as the Investment Management
Agreement. The Independent Trustees most recently approved the Portfolio's
Administration Agreement on August 7, 2001. The agreement will terminate
automatically if assigned by either party thereto and is terminable by the
Portfolio at any time without penalty by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of
the Portfolio, or by a vote of the holders of a "majority of the outstanding
voting securities as defined in the 1940 Act" of the Portfolio. The Portfolio's
Administration Agreement is terminable by the Trustees of the Portfolio or by
investors in the Portfolio on 60 days' written notice to Brown Brothers Harriman
Trust Company, LLC. The agreement is terminable by the Administrator on 90 days'
written notice to the Portfolio.

PLACEMENT AGENT

The Portfolio has not retained the services of a principal underwriter or
distributor, since interests in the Portfolio are offered solely in private
placement transactions. Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("SBDS"), acting
as agent for the Portfolio, serves as the placement agent of interests in the
Portfolio. SBDS receives no compensation for serving as placement agent.

EXPENSE PAYMENT AGREEMENT

Under an agreement dated August 10, 1999, Brown Brothers Harriman Trust
Company, LLC pays the expenses of the Portfolio, other than fees paid to Brown
Brothers Harriman Trust Company, LLC under the Portfolio's Administration
Agreement and other than expense relating to the organization of the Portfolio.
In return, Brown Brothers Harriman Trust Company, LLC receives a fee from the
Portfolio such that after such payment the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio
do not exceed an agreed upon annual rate, currently 0.57% of the average daily
net assets of the Portfolio. Such fees are computed daily and paid monthly. For
the period July 1, 1999 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1999, Brown

POS AMI 11th “Page” of 17 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 11th
CODE OF ETHICS

The Portfolio, the Investment Adviser, the Investment Manager and the
Placement Agent each have adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under
the 1940 Act. Each code of ethics permits personnel subject to such code of
ethics to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or
held by the Portfolio. However, the codes of ethics contain provisions and
requirements designed to identify and address certain conflicts of interest
between personal investment activities and the interests of the Portfolio. Of
course, there can be no assurance that the codes of ethics will be effective in
identifying and addressing all conflicts of interest relating to personal
securities transactions. The code of ethics of the Portfolio, the Investment
Adviser, the Investment Manager and the Placement Agent are on file with and are
available from the SEC.

ITEM 16. BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES.

The Portfolio is managed actively in pursuit of its investment objective.
Securities are not traded for short-term profits but, when circumstances
warrant, securities are sold without regard to the length of time held. A 100%
annual turnover rate would occur, for example, if all portfolio securities
(excluding short-term obligations) were replaced once in a period of one year.
For the period July 1, 1999 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1999
and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, the portfolio turnover
rate was 7%, 43% and 106%, respectively. The amount of brokerage commissions and
taxes on realized capital gains to be borne by investors tend to increase as the
level of portfolio activity increases.

In effecting securities transactions the Investment Manager seeks to
obtain the best price and execution of orders. In selecting a broker, the
Investment Manager considers a number of factors, including: the broker's
ability to execute orders without disturbing the market price; the broker's
reliability for prompt, accurate confirmations and on-time delivery of
securities; the broker's financial condition and responsibility; the research
and other information provided by the broker; and the commissions charged.
Accordingly, the commissions charged by any such broker may be greater than the
amount another firm might charge if the Investment Manager determines in good
faith that the amount of such commissions is reasonable in relation to the value
of the brokerage services and research information provided by such broker.

For the period July 1, 1999 (commencement of operations) to December 31,
1999 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, the aggregate
commissions paid by the Portfolio were $49,786, $37,630 and $82,745,
respectively.

Portfolio securities are not purchased from or sold to the
Administrator, Distributor, Investment Adviser or Investment Manager or any
"affiliated person" (as defined in the 1940 Act)of the Administrator,
Distributor Investment Adviser or Investment Manager when such entities are
acting as principals, except to the extent permitted by law. The Portfolio uses
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., an "affiliated person" of the Portfolio, as one
of the Portfolio's principal brokers in the purchase and sale of securities
when, in the judgment of the Investment Manager, that firm will be able to
obtain a price and execution at least as favorable as other qualified brokers.
As one of the Portfolio's principal brokers, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.
receives brokerage commissions from the Portfolio.

The use of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. as a broker for the Portfolio
is subject to the provisions of Rule 11a2-2(T) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 which permits the Portfolio to use Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.
as a broker provided that certain conditions are met.

In addition, under the 1940 Act, commissions paid by the Portfolio to
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. in connection with a purchase or sale of
securities offered on a securities exchange may not exceed the usual and
customary broker's commission.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, total transactions
with a principal value of $20,191,987 and $60,827,461, respectively, were
effected for the Portfolio of which transactions with a principal value of
$10,139,212 and $44,059,036, respectively, were effected by Brown Brothers
Harriman & Co. (involving payments of commissions to Brown Brothers Harriman &
Co. of $13,426 and 63,791, respectively).

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, 35.6% and 77.1%,
respectively, of the Portfolio's aggregate commissions were paid to Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. For the same periods, transactions effected by Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. which involved payments of commissions to Brown Brothers
Harriman & Co. represented 45.2% and 72.1%, respectively, of the total
transactions effected by the Portfolio.

The Investment Manager may direct a portion of the Portfolio's
securities transactions to certain unaffiliated brokers which in turn use a
portion of the commissions they receive from the Portfolio to pay other
unaffiliated service providers on behalf of the Portfolio for services provided
for which the Portfolio would otherwise be obligated to pay. Such commissions
paid by the Portfolio are at the same rate paid to other brokers for effecting
similar transactions in listed equity securities.

Research services provided by brokers to which Brown Brothers Harriman
& Co. has allocated brokerage business in the past include economic statistics
and forecasting services, industry and company analyses, portfolio strategy
services, quantitative data, and consulting services from economists and
political analysts. Research services furnished by brokers are used for the
benefit of all the Investment Manager's clients and not solely or necessarily
for the benefit of the Portfolio. The Investment Manager believes that the value
of research services received is not determinable and such research does not
significantly reduce its expenses. The Portfolio does not reduce the fee paid to
the Investment Manager and Investment Adviser by any amount that might be
attributable to the value of such services.

On those occasions when Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. deems the
purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of the Portfolio as
well as other customers, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., to the extent permitted
by applicable laws and regulations, may, but is not obligated to, aggregate the
securities to be sold or purchased for the Portfolio with those to be sold or
purchased for other customers in order to obtain best execution, including lower
brokerage commissions, if appropriate. In such event, allocation of the
securities so purchased or sold as well as any expenses incurred in the
transaction are made by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. in the manner it considers
to be most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to its
customers, including the Portfolio. In some instances, this procedure might
adversely affect the Portfolio.

A committee of independent Trustees from time to time reviews, among
other things, information relating to the commissions charge by Brown Brothers
Harriman & Co. to the Portfolio and to its other customers and information
concerning the prevailing level of commissions charge by other qualified
brokers. In addition, the procedures pursuant to which Brown Brothers Harriman &
Co. effects brokerage transactions for the Portfolio are reviewed and approved
no less often than annually by a majority of the independent Trustees.

For the period July 1, 1999 (commencement of operations) to December 31,
1999, total transactions with a principal value of $28,204,010 were effected for
the Portfolio of which transactions with a principal value of $9,964,170 were
effected by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. which involved payments of commissions
to Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. of $3,076.

For the period July 1, 1999 (commencement of operations) to December 31,
1999, 6.2% of the Portfolio's aggregate commissions were paid to Brown Brothers
Harriman & Co. For the same period, transactions effected for the Portfolio by
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. which involved payments of commissions to Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. represented 35.3% of total transactions effected for the
Portfolio.

A committee, comprised of officers and partners of Brown Brothers
Harriman & Co. who are portfolio managers of some of Brown Brothers Harriman &
Co.'s managed accounts (the "Managed Accounts"), evaluates semi-annually the
nature and quality of the brokerage and research services provided by brokers,
and, based on this evaluation, establishes a list and projected ranking of
preferred brokers for use in determining the relative amounts of commissions to
be allocated to such brokers. However, in any semi-annual period, brokers not on
the list may be used, and the relative amounts of brokerage commissions paid to
the brokers on the list may vary substantially from the projected rankings.

The Trustees of the Portfolio review regularly the reasonableness of
commissions and other transaction costs incurred for the Portfolio in light of
facts and circumstances deemed relevant from time to time and, in that
connection, receive reports from the Investment Manager and published data
concerning transaction costs incurred by institutional investors generally.

Over-the-counter purchases and sales are transacted directly with
principal market makers, except in those circumstances in which, in the judgment
of the Investment Manager, better prices and execution of orders can otherwise
be obtained. If the Portfolio effects a closing transaction with respect to a
futures or option contract, such transaction normally would be executed by the
same broker-dealer who executed the opening transaction. The writing of options
by the Portfolio may be subject to limitations established by each of the
exchanges governing the maximum number of options in each class which may be
written by a single investor or group of investors acting in concert, regardless
of whether the options are written on the same or different exchanges or are
held or written in one or more accounts or through one or more brokers. The
number of options which the Portfolio may write may be affected by options
written by the Investment Manager for other investment advisory clients. An
exchange may order the liquidation of positions found to be in excess of these
limits, and it may impose certain other sanctions.

ITEM 17. CAPITAL STOCK AND OTHER SECURITIES.

The Portfolio is organized as a trust under the laws of the State of
New York. Under the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees are authorized to issue
beneficial interests in the Portfolio. Investors are entitled to participate pro
rata in distributions of taxable income, loss, gain and credit of the Portfolio.
Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Portfolio, investors are entitled to
share pro rata in the Portfolio's net assets available for distribution to its
investors. Investments in the Portfolio have no preference, preemptive,
conversion or similar rights and are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set
forth below. Investments in the Portfolio may not be transferred. Certificates
representing an investor's beneficial interest in the Portfolio are issued only
upon the written request of an investor.

Each investor is entitled to a vote in proportion to the amount of its
investment in the Portfolio. Investors in the Portfolio do not have cumulative
voting rights, and investors holding more than 50% of the aggregate beneficial
interest in the Portfolio may elect all of the Trustees if they choose to do so
and in such event the other investors in the Portfolio would not be able to
elect any Trustee. The Portfolio is not required and has no current intention to
hold annual meetings of investors but the Portfolio will hold special meetings
of investors when in the judgment of the Portfolio's Trustees it is necessary or
desirable to submit matters for an investor vote. Changes in fundamental
policies will be submitted to investors for approval. No material amendment may
be made to the Portfolio's Declaration of Trust without the affirmative majority
vote of investors (with the vote of each being in proportion to the amount of
its investment). Investors have under certain circumstances (e.g., upon
application and submission of certain specified documents to the Trustees by a
specified percentage of the outstanding interests in the Portfolio) the right to
communicate with other investors in connection with requesting a meeting of
investors for the purpose of removing one or more Trustees. Investors also have
the right to remove one or more Trustees without a meeting by a declaration in
writing by a specified percentage of the outstanding interests in the Portfolio.
Upon liquidation of the Portfolio, investors would be entitled to share pro rata
in the net assets of the Portfolio available for distribution to investors.

The end of the Portfolio's fiscal year is December 31.

Under the anticipated method of operation of the Portfolio, the
Portfolio will not be subject to any income tax. However, each investor in the
Portfolio will be taxable on its share (as determined in accordance with the
governing instruments of the Portfolio) of the Portfolio's ordinary income and
capital gain in determining its income tax liability. The determination of such
share will be made in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and regulations promulgated thereunder.

It is intended that the Portfolio's assets, income and distributions
will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to
satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that the investor
invested all of its assets in the Portfolio.

Investor inquiries may be directed to Signature Broker-Dealer Services,
Inc, 21 Milk Street, Boston, MA 02109, 1-800-625-5759.

The Portfolio may enter into a merger or consolidation, or sell all or
substantially all of its assets, if approved by the vote of two thirds of its
investors (with the vote of each being in proportion to its percentage of the
beneficial interests in the Portfolio), except that if the Trustees recommend
such sale of assets, the approval by vote of a majority of the investors (with
the vote of each being in proportion to its percentage of the beneficial
interests of the Portfolio) will be sufficient. The Portfolio may also be
terminated (i) upon liquidation and distribution of its assets if approved by
the vote of two thirds of its investors (with the vote of each being in
proportion to the amount of its investment) or (ii) by the Trustees by written
notice to its investors.

Investors in the Portfolio will be held personally liable for its
obligations and liabilities, subject, however, to indemnification by the
Portfolio in the event that there is imposed upon an investor a greater portion
of the liabilities and obligations of the Portfolio than its proportionate
beneficial interest in the Portfolio. The Declaration of Trust also provides
that the Portfolio shall maintain appropriate insurance (for example, fidelity
bonding and errors and omissions insurance) for the protection of the Portfolio,
its investors, Trustees, officers, employees and agents covering possible tort
and other liabilities. Thus, the risk of an investor incurring financial loss on
account of investor liability is limited to circumstances in which both
inadequate insurance existed and the Portfolio itself was unable to meet its
obligations.

POS AMI 12th “Page” of 17 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 12th
The Portfolio's Declaration of Trust further provides that obligations
of the Portfolio are not binding upon the Trustees individually but only upon
the property of the Portfolio and that the Trustees will not be liable for any
action or failure to act, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a
Trustee against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

ITEM 18. PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SECURITIES.

Beneficial interests in the Portfolio are issued solely in private
placement transactions that do not involve any "public offering" within the
meaning of Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. Investments in the Portfolio may only
be made by other investment companies, insurance company separate accounts,
common or commingled trust funds, or similar organizations or entities which are
"accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501 under the 1933 Act. This
Registration Statement does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation
of an offer to buy, any "security" within the meaning of the 1933 Act.

An investment in the Portfolio may be made without a sales load. All
investments are made at net asset value next determined after an order is
received by the Portfolio. The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined
once on each business day.

There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment in the Portfolio.
However, because the Portfolio intends to be as fully invested at all times as
is reasonably practicable in order to enhance the yield on its assets,
investments must be made in federal funds (i.e., monies credited to the account
of the Custodian by a Federal Reserve Bank).

The Portfolio reserves the right to cease accepting investments at any
time or to reject any investment order.

Each investor in the Portfolio may add to or reduce its investment in
the Portfolio on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular
trading. At 4:00 P.M., New York time on each such business day, the value of
each investor's beneficial interest in the Portfolio is determined by
multiplying the net asset value of the Portfolio by the percentage, effective
for that day, which represents that investor's share of the aggregate beneficial
interests in the Portfolio. Any additions or withdrawals, which are to be
effected on that day, are then effected. The investor's percentage of the
aggregate beneficial interests in the Portfolio is then recomputed as the
percentage equal to the fraction (i) the numerator of which is the value of such
investor's investment in the Portfolio as of 4:00 P.M New York time on such day
plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount of any additions to or withdrawals
from the investor's investment in the Portfolio effected on such day, and (ii)
the denominator of which is the aggregate net asset value of the Portfolio as of
4:00 P.M. New York time, on such day plus or minus, as the case may be, the
amount of the net additions to or withdrawals from the aggregate investments in
the Portfolio by all investors in the Portfolio. The percentage so determined is
then applied to determine the value of the investor's interest in the Portfolio
as of 4:00 P.M., New York time on the following business day of the Portfolio.

The net income and capital gains and losses, if any, of the Portfolio
are determined at 4:00 p.m., New York time on each business day. Net income for
days other than business days is determined as of 4:00 p.m., New York time on
the immediately preceding business day. All the net income, as defined below,
and capital gains and losses, if any, so determined are allocated pro rata among
the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

For this purpose the "net income" of the Portfolio (from the time of
the immediately preceding determination thereof) consists of (i) accrued
interest, accretion of discount and amortization of premium less (ii) all actual
and accrued expenses of the Portfolio (including the fees payable to the
Investment Adviser, Investment Manager and Administrator of the Portfolio).

The value of investments listed on a domestic securities exchange is
based on the last sale prices as of the regular close of the New York Stock
Exchange (which is currently 4:00 P.M New York time) or, in the absence of
recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices
on such Exchange.

POS AMI 13th “Page” of 17 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 13th
Unlisted securities are valued at the average of the quoted bid and
asked prices in the over-the-counter market. The value of each security for
which readily available market quotations exist is based on a decision as to the
broadest and most representative market for such security.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by
and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Portfolio's
Trustees. Such procedures include the use of independent pricing services, which
use prices based upon yields or prices of securities of comparable quality,
coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general
market conditions. Short-term investments which mature in 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by
amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original
maturity when acquired was more than 60 days, unless this is determined not to
represent fair value by the Trustees of the Portfolio.

If the Portfolio determines that it would be detrimental to the best
interest of the remaining investors in the Portfolio to make payment wholly or
partly in cash, payment of the redemption price may be made in whole or in part
by a distribution in kind of securities from the Portfolio, in lieu of cash, in
conformity with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). If interests are redeemed in kind, the redeeming investor might
incur transaction costs in converting the assets into cash. The method of
valuing portfolio securities is described above and such valuation will be made
as of the same time the redemption price is determined.

An investor in the Portfolio may reduce all or any portion of its
investment at the net asset value next determined after a request in "good
order" is furnished by the investor to the Portfolio. The proceeds of a
reduction will be paid by the Portfolio in federal funds normally on the next
Portfolio Business Day after the reduction is effected, but in any event within
seven days. Investments in the Portfolio may not be transferred.

The right of any investor to receive payment with respect to any
reduction may be suspended or the payment of the proceeds therefrom postponed
during any period in which the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than
weekends or holidays) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted
or, to the extent otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act if an emergency exists.

ITEM 19. TAX STATUS.

The Portfolio is organized as a New York trust. The Portfolio is not
subject to any income or franchise tax in the State of New York or the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. However each investor in the Portfolio will be
taxable on its share (as determined in accordance with the governing instruments
of the Portfolio) of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gain in
determining its income tax liability. The determination of such share will be
made in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Although, as described above, the Portfolio will not be subject to
federal income tax, it will file appropriate income tax returns.

It is intended that the Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a
way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements
of Subchapter M of the Code.

Gains or losses on sales of securities by the Portfolio will be treated
as long-term capital gains or losses if the securities have been held by it for
more than one year except in certain cases where, if applicable, the Portfolio
acquires a put or writes a call thereon. Other gains or losses on the sale of
securities will be short-term capital gains or losses.

POS AMI 14th “Page” of 17 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 14th
FOREIGN TAXES. The Portfolio may be subject to foreign withholding
taxes with respect to income received from sources within foreign countries.

OTHER TAXATION. The investment by an investor in the Portfolio does not
cause the investor to be liable for any income or franchise tax in the State of
New York. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect
to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Portfolio.

ITEM 20. UNDERWRITERS.

The placement agent for the Portfolio is Signature Broker-Dealer
Services, Inc., which receives no compensation for serving in this capacity.
Other investment companies, insurance company separate accounts, common and
commingled trust funds and similar organizations and entities may continuously
invest in the Portfolio acted as placement agent for the Portfolio under the
