(1) There is no assurance that this Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share. In addition, during extended periods of low interest rates, and partly as a result of asset-based separate account charges, the yield on this investment account may become low and possibly negative.

Except as set forth herein, all other provisions of the prospectus and supplement noted above shall remain unchanged.

THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
