SUPPLEMENT TO THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

                      CREDIT SUISSE GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY FUND

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SUPERSEDES CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THE FUND'S STATEMENT
OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

          Your fund's Board of Directors has approved amendments to the
Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements (each, a "Sub-Advisory Agreement") by and
among your fund, Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), the fund's
investment adviser, and each of CSAM's Japanese affiliate ("CSAM Japan") and its
United Kingdom affiliate ("CSAM U.K."), each of which is named Credit Suisse
Asset Management Limited (CSAM Japan and CSAM U.K. are herein each referred to
as, a "Sub-Adviser"). Under each Sub-Advisory Agreement, CSAM (and not your
fund) pays each Sub-Adviser an annual fee of $250,000 (each such fee, a "Total
Fee") for services rendered with respect to your fund and all other Credit
Suisse Funds for which the relevant Sub-Adviser has been appointed to act as
sub-adviser. Each Sub-Advisory Agreement is being amended to include a
methodology for allocating a portion of each Sub-Adviser's Total Fee to your
fund.

          The portion of each Sub-Adviser's Total Fee allocable with respect to
your fund (for any calendar quarter or portion thereof) is equal to the product
of (a) the Sub-Adviser's Total Fee and (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of
which is the average monthly net assets of the fund during such calendar quarter
or portion thereof and (ii) the denominator of which is the aggregate average
monthly net assets of the fund and certain other registered investment companies
for which the relevant Sub-Adviser has been appointed to act as sub-adviser
during such calendar quarter or portion thereof.

          The Total Fee for the period from July 22, 2002 (the date the
amendments went into effect) to December 31, 2002 for each Sub-Adviser is
$111,643.84. The portion of this amount that is allocable to your fund for CSAM
Japan and CSAM U.K. (based on net assets as of August 30, 2002) would be
$7,699.20 and $7,633.87, respectively.

          IMPORTANTLY, YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT THE AMENDMENTS WILL NOT AFFECT THE
FEES OR EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO YOUR FUND BECAUSE ALL SUB-ADVISORY FEES ARE BORNE
BY CSAM.
