shares owned for 30 days or less.
Both Funds seek to make all their investments on a no-load
basis, to avoid transaction costs.

Limit on Expenses .
Pearl Management Company, the Funds’ Manager, has
contractually agreed to reimburse each Pearl Fund for all ordinary
operating expenses (including all management and administrative
fees) exceeding 1.20% of a Fund's average net assets. The Manager's reimbursement of
expenses that exceed the expense limit lowers the expense ratio and
increases the overall return to investors.
