“We would like to call your attention to the special proposal this year which is to permit the Fund to invest in a broader range of instruments than was generally available when it went public in 1986. These include options and futures which are not listed on an exchange and also which might be used for investment purposes as opposed to purely hedging purposes. We believe many of the newer funds have these provisions and thus we are attempting to bring our fund up to date. The portfolio managers have considered DAX sector index products but the fund does not have any specific commitments at the present. It desires to have the flexibility to do so when opportunities arise that the portfolio managers deem attractive.”
