(2) Effective July 14, 2000, the Fund changed its Class A, B and C names to Liberty Newport Tiger Cub Fund Class A, Liberty Newport Tiger Cub Fund Class B and Liberty Newport Tiger Cub Fund Class C.

(2) A $10 annual fee is deducted from accounts of less than $1,000 and paid to the transfer agent. (3) This charge applies only to certain Class A shares bought without an initial sales charge that are sold within 18 months of purchase. (4) There is a $7.50 charge for wiring sale proceeds to your bank. (4) The second paragraph in the sidebar, UNDERSTANDING EXPENSES, under the caption YOUR EXPENSES is deleted in its entirety. (5) The footnote to the table "Class A Sales Charges" under the subcaption SALES CHARGES under the section YOUR ACCOUNT is revised as follows: Class A shares bought without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $25 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if the shares are sold within 18 months of the time of purchase. Subsequent Class A share purchases that bring your account value above $1 million are subject to a CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of the date of purchase. The 18-month period begins on the first day of the month following each purchase. The CDSC does not apply to retirement plans purchased through a fee-based program. (6) (6) The following replaces the table called "Purchases Over $1 Million" under the subcaption SALES CHARGES under the section YOUR ACCOUNT: Amount purchased Commission % First $3 million 1.00 - ------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- $3 million to less than $5 million 0.80 - ------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- $5 million to less than $25 million 0.50 - ------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- $25 million or more 0.25 - ------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- The commission to financial advisors for Class A share purchases of $25 million or more is paid over 12 months but only to the extent the shares remain outstanding. For Class A share purchases by participants in certain group retirement plans offered through a fee-based program, financial advisors receive a 1.00% commission from the distributor on all purchases of less than $3 million. (7) The last three paragraphs under the caption SALES CHARGES are deleted in their entirety. (8) The paragraph under the caption How To Exchange Shares is revised in its entirety as follows: You may exchange your shares for shares of the same share class of another fund distributed by Liberty Funds Distributor, Inc. at net asset value. Shareholders of Liberty Acorn funds that qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value may exchange their Class A shares for Class Z shares of another fund distributed by Liberty Funds Distributor, Inc. (see the Statement of Additional Information for a description of these situations). If your shares are subject to a CDSC, you will not be charged a CDSC upon the exchange. However, when you sell the shares acquired through the exchange, the shares sold may be subject to a CDSC, depending upon when you originally purchased the shares you exchanged. For purposes of computing the CDSC, the length of time you have owned your shares will be computed from the date of your original purchase, and the applicable CDSC will be the CDSC of the original fund. Unless your account is part of a tax-deferred retirement plan, an exchange is a taxable event. Therefore, you may realize a gain or a loss for tax purposes. The Fund may terminate your exchange privilege if the advisor determines that your exchange activity is likely to adversely impact its ability to manage the Fund. To exchange by telephone, call 1-800-422-3737. 735-36/294D-1000 November 10, 2000 STEIN ROE SMALL CAP TIGER FUND Class S Shares Supplement to Prospectus dated January 1, 2000, Revised May 1, 2000 The Prospectus is revised as follows: (1) The table under the caption Your Expenses is amended and restated as follows: Your Expenses This table shows fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.
