PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
HERITAGE FUND
Supplement dated April 10, 2006 * Prospectus dated March 1, 2006
THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE THIRD PARAGRAPH UNDER THE HEADING How does the fund
pursue its investment objective? ON PAGE 7.
The fund will usually purchase common stocks of companies that are medium-sized
and smaller at the time of purchase, but it can purchase other types of
securities as well. When determining the size of a company, the portfolio
managers will consider, among other factors, the capitalization of the company
and the amount of revenues as well as other information they obtain about the
company.
Although the portfolio managers intend to invest the fund's assets primarily in
U.S. stocks, the fund may invest in securities of foreign companies, including
companies located in emerging markets. Investments in foreign securities present
some unique risks that are more fully described in the fund's statement of
additional information.
THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED AFTER THE FOURTH PARAGRAPH UNDER THE HEADING What are the
principal risks of investing in the fund? ON PAGE 8.
Investing in securities of companies located in emerging market countries
generally is also riskier than investing in securities of companies located in
foreign developed countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable
governments and/or economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes
may be magnified by the countries' emergent financial markets, resulting in
significant volatility to investments in these countries. These countries also
may lack the legal, business and social framework to support securities markets.
