Re:             The Brinson Funds
                File Nos.  33-47287 and 811-6637
                Rule 497(j) Filing

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
this letter serves as certification that the form of Prospectus that would
have been filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from
that contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 33 to the Registration
Statement of The Brinson Funds which became effective with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on Thursday, December 7, 2000.

        Please direct any questions or comments relating to this
certification to me at 617/5578826 or, in my absence, to Kathleen O'Neill at
617/557-8825.

                                                        Very truly yours,


                                                        /s/Lloyd Lipsett
