[USAA USAA EXTENDED MARKET INDEX FUND EAGLE SUPPLEMENT DATED OCTOBER 31, 2006 LOGO (R)] TO THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS AND STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (SAI) DATED AUGUST 1, 2006 Prior to September 29, 2006, Fund Asset Management, L.P. (FAM), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (ML & Co.), acted as the investment adviser to the Master Extended Market Index Series (Extended Market Portfolio), which is the master fund in which the USAA Extended Market Index Fund invests all of its assets. On September 29, 2006, BlackRock, Inc. (BlackRock) consummated a transaction with ML & Co. whereby ML & Co.'s investment management business, including FAM, combined with that of BlackRock to create a new independent company that is one of the world's largest asset management firms with over $1 trillion in assets under management. The combined company offers a full range of equity, fixed income, cash management, and alternative investment products with strong representation in both retail and institutional channels, in the United States and in non-U.S. markets. The new company has over 4,500 employees in 18 countries and a major presence in most key markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and Europe. Effective September 29, 2006, the Extended Market Portfolio entered into an investment advisory agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (BlackRock Advisors), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, whereby BlackRock Advisors manages the Extended Market Portfolio subject to the oversight of the Extended Market Portfolio's Board of Trustees. BlackRock Advisors has a subadvisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (BIM), an affiliate, under which BlackRock Advisors pays BIM, for the services it provides, 74% of the advisory fee that BlackRock Advisors receives from the Extended Market Portfolio. BIM is responsible for the day-to-day management of Extended Market Portfolio's investments. Under the new investment advisory agreement and subadvisory agreement, the compensation paid to and the services provided by BlackRock are the same as those under the previous Advisory Agreement with FAM. AS A RESULT OF THIS CHANGE, THE PROSPECTUS AND SAI DATED AUGUST 1, 2006 IS REVISED AS FOLLOWS. All references in the Fund's prospectus and SAI relating to Fund Asset Management, L.P. (FAM) have been deleted and replaced with BlackRock Advisors, LLC and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (collectively referred to as BlackRock). INSERT THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IN PLACE OF THE SECOND SENTENCE OF THE THIRD PARAGRAPH OF THE SECOND COLUMN ON PAGE 7 OF THE PROSPECTUS.
