                              -------------------
                        PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
                              -------------------

     The Board of the Trust recommends that shareholders elect members to the
Board. Accordingly, the Board is submitting for election or re-election by
shareholders of the Trust the slate of seven individuals listed below (the
"Nominees").

     All Nominees, except Mr. Kinnicutt, currently serve as Trustees of the
Trust. Mr. Kinnicutt has been nominated to serve on the Board. If elected, each
Nominee would serve as a Trustee for life or for a specified term as discussed
below unless the Trustee is removed, resigns or retires. The Trustees who are
deemed not "interested" ("Independent Trustees") as that term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") have adopted a Board Governance
Policy that requires an Independent Trustee to retire at age 72 for those
Trustees in office prior to August 28, 2000 or at age 70 for those Trustees in
office after that date. In addition, the Independent Trustees have a mandatory
term limit of 15 years of service, except those Independent Trustees who served
as of August 28, 2000.

     If elected, it is expected that Mr. Kinnicutt would serve as an Independent
Trustee. Additionally, one Nominee is an Interested Trustee and would serve as
such on the Board.

     On May 16, 2007, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, nominated
each of the seven Nominees for election or re-election to the Board. The
Independent Trustees have sought to sustain a Board with members that have
backgrounds and experiences that are diverse and relevant to the variety of
tasks and issues that face a mutual fund board. Pertinent information about each
Nominee as of June 6, 2007, is set forth below.

     The persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote "FOR" the
election of each Nominee unless the shareholder specifically indicates on his or
her proxy card a desire to withhold authority to vote for any Nominee. Each
Nominee has consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and has indicated a
willingness to serve if elected. Neither the Board nor management has any reason
to believe that any Nominee will be unavailable for election. However, if any of
the Nominees should not be available for election, the persons named as proxies
(or their substitutes) may vote for other persons in their discretion.

                                       5


                         INFORMATION CONCERNING NOMINEES

     Information is provided below for each Nominee for election at the Meeting.
The table lists information for each Nominee who would serve as an Independent
Trustee. Information for the Nominee who would be deemed an Interested Trustee
by virtue of his position with Heritage Asset Management, Inc. ("Heritage") also
appears in the table. The address of each Nominee is 880 Carillon Parkway, St.
Petersburg, FL 33716.

                                                 Heritage since 2000.

- -------------------------------------------
(a)  Mr. Riess is an "interested" person of the Trust, as that term is defined by the 1940 Act, by virtue of his affiliations
     with Heritage.


     As reported to the Trust, the Nominees own shares of the Trust and the Funds thereof as set forth in Exhibit A to this
Proxy Statement. In addition, no Independent Trustee owned shares of Heritage, Heritage Fund Distributors, Inc. or their
affiliates. Exhibit B sets forth the compensation paid to each Nominee by each Fund for the fiscal year 2006; and Exhibit C
sets forth information on the Trust's Officers.


                                                               7


                      BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND BOARD STRUCTURE

     The Board is responsible for supervising the operation of the Trust. It
establishes the major policies, reviews investments, and provides guidelines to
Heritage and others who provide services to the Trust. The Board met four times
during the Trust's last fiscal year. The Board has a Nominating Committee, an
Audit Committee, a Compliance Committee and a Qualified Legal Compliance
Committee.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

     The Nominating Committee consists of Messrs. Jarrett, Meurer, Graham, and
Pappas and Ms. Talbot, each of whom is an Independent Trustee. The primary
responsibilities of the Nominating Committee are to make recommendations to the
Board on issues related to the composition and operation of the Board, and to
communicate with management on those issues. The Nominating Committee also
evaluates and nominates Board member candidates. The Nominating Committee met
once during the Trust's last fiscal year.

     In proposing the Nominees, the Nominating Committee also considered certain
other factors including, but not limited to, the general knowledge, background
and experience of each Nominee. Specifically, the Nominating Committee
considered whether Nominees possess a high level of integrity, appropriate
experience and a commitment to fulfill the fiduciary duties inherent in Board
membership. The Nominating Committee also considered the extent to which a
candidate possesses sufficiently diverse skill sets and characteristics that
would contribute to the Board's overall effectiveness.

     The Nominating Committee may consider recommendations for potential
candidates from any source, including Board members, Fund shareholders, legal
counsel to the Independent Trustees or other such sources as the Committee deems
appropriate. In determining potential candidates' qualifications for Board
membership, the Committee may consider all factors it may determine to be
relevant to fulfilling the role of being a member of the Board.

     The Nominating Committee may consider potential candidates for nomination
identified by one or more shareholders of a Fund. Shareholders can submit
recommendations in writing to the attention of the Chairperson of the Committee
at an address to be maintained by Fund management for this purpose. In order to
be considered by the Committee, any shareholder recommendation must include
certain information, such as the candidate's name, date of birth, education,
business, professional or other relevant experience and areas of expertise,
current business, professional or other relevant experience and areas of
expertise, current business and home addresses and contact information, other
board positions or prior experience and any knowledge and experience relating to
investment companies and investment company governance. Successful candidates
must meet several other criteria as set forth in the Nominating Committee
charter, which is attached as Exhibit D to this proxy statement.

                                       8


AUDIT COMMITTEE

     The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Jarrett, Meurer and
Pappas, each of whom is an Independent Trustee. Mr. Meurer serves as Chair of
the Audit Committee. The primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee are, as
set forth in its charter, to oversee and monitor: the accounting and financial
reporting and practices of the Trust; internal audit controls and procedures
relating to financial reporting; the Trust's independent public accountants,
including their qualifications, independence and performance (including the fees
charged by accountants); the integrity, quality and objectivity of the financial
statements of the Trust; and the process for reviewing the integrity and
soundness of the Trust's internal controls relating to financial reporting. The
Audit Committee met five times during the Trust's last fiscal year.

COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE

     The Compliance Committee consists of Ms. Talbot and Mr. Graham, each of
whom is an Independent Trustee. Ms. Talbot serves as Chair of the Compliance
Committee. The primary responsibilities of the Compliance Committee are to
oversee the Trust's compliance with all regulatory obligations arising under the
applicable federal securities laws, rules and regulations and oversee
management's implementation and enforcement of each Trust's compliance policies
and procedures. The Compliance Committee met four times during the Trust's last
fiscal year.

QUALIFIED LEGAL COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE

     The Qualified Legal Compliance Committee consists of Messrs. Jarrett,
Meurer and Pappas, each of whom is an Independent Trustee. The primary
responsibility of the Qualified Legal Compliance Committee is to receive, review
and take appropriate action with respect to any report made or referred to the
Committee by an attorney of evidence of a material violation of applicable U.S.
federal or state securities law, material breach of a fiduciary duty under U.S.
federal or state law or a similar material violation by any of the Trusts or by
any officer, director, employee, or agent of the Trust. The Qualified Legal
Compliance Committee did not meet during the Trust's last fiscal year.

                    REQUIRED VOTE AND BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION

     Election of each Nominee as a Trustee requires the vote of a plurality of
the votes cast at the Meeting in person or by proxy by all shares of the Trust,
provided that a quorum is present. Shareholders who vote FOR Proposal 1 will
vote FOR each Nominee. THOSE SHAREHOLDERS WHO WISH TO WITHHOLD THEIR VOTE ON ANY
SPECIFIC NOMINEE(S) MAY DO SO ON THE PROXY CARD.

                                       9


                               ------------------
                 THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
                                "FOR" PROPOSAL 1.
                               ------------------

                               VOTING INFORMATION

     If the enclosed proxy card is executed properly and returned, shares
represented by it will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the
instructions on the proxy. A proxy may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior
to its use by written notification received by the Trust, by the execution of a
subsequently dated proxy or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.
However, if no instructions are specified on a proxy, shares will be voted "FOR"
Proposal (1) above, and "FOR" or "AGAINST" any other matters acted upon at the
Meeting in the discretion of the persons named as proxies.

     QUORUM AND ADJOURNMENT: The presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy,
of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of outstanding shares of the Trust
is required for a quorum for Proposal 1. The affirmative vote of less than a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast represented in person or by proxy is
sufficient for adjournments. In such case, the persons named as proxies will
vote those proxies, which they are entitled to vote in favor of such item "FOR"
such an adjournment, and will vote those proxies required to be voted against
such item "AGAINST" such an adjournment. A shareholder vote may be taken on the
proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to any such adjournment if sufficient
votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

     REQUIRED VOTE: For Proposal 1, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the
votes of the Trust cast at the Meeting on the election of Trustees is required
to elect a Trustee.

     Broker non-votes are shares held in street name for which the broker
indicates that instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or
other persons entitled to vote and with respect to which the broker does not
have discretionary voting authority. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be
counted as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is
present but will not be counted as votes cast. Accordingly, abstentions and
broker non-votes will have no impact on Proposal 1 to elect Trustees because the
required vote is a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

     No business, other than as set forth above, is expected to come before the
Meeting. Should any other matters requiring a vote of shareholders properly come
before the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote thereon in
accordance with their best judgment in the interests of the Funds. Heritage Fund
Distributors, Inc. ("HFD") P.O. Box 33022, St. Petersburg, Florida 33733 serves
as the Trust's principal underwriter.

               INFORMATION ON THE TRUST'S INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

     PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), 4221 W. Boy Scout Blvd., Suite 200,
Tampa, Florida 33607 serves as the independent registered certified public
accounting firm for the Trust. Representatives of PwC are not expected to be
present at the Meeting but have been given the opportunity to make a statement
if they so desire and will be available should any matter arise requiring their
presence. Exhibit G provides additional information on audit and other fees
billed by PwC.

                             SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

     The solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail but may also be
made by telephone by Heritage. All expenses in connection with preparing this
Proxy Statement and its enclosures and solicitation expenses that relate to
Proposal 1 will be borne by the Trust.

     If votes are recorded by telephone, Heritage and/or Broadridge will use
procedures designed to authenticate shareholders' identities to allow
shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their
instructions and to confirm that shareholders' instructions have been properly
recorded. Shareholders also may vote through a secure Internet site or by mail.
Proxies by Internet or telephone may be revoked at any time before they are
voted in the same manner that proxies voted by mail may be revoked.

                              SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

     As a general matter, the Trust does not hold regular annual or other
meetings of shareholders. Any shareholder who wishes to submit proposals to be
considered at a special meeting of shareholders should send such proposals to
the Trust at 880 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, so as to be
received a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation for that meeting is
made. Shareholder proposals that are submitted in a timely manner will be
provided to Board members for their consideration but not necessarily be
included in proxy materials for the Trust or a Fund. Inclusion of such proposals
is subject to limitations under the federal securities laws.

                                          By order of the Board of Trustees,

                                          /s/ Andrea N. Mullins

                              HERITAGE SERIES TRUST
A.   PURPOSE
     -------

     The Boards of Trustees of the investment companies listed above (each a
"Trust" and, collectively, the "Trusts") have created a Nominating Committee
("Committee"). The purpose of the Committee is threefold:

     1.   Identify and recommend for nomination candidates to serve as Board
          members who are not "interested persons" of the Trusts ("Independent
          Trustees") as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of
          1940 ("1940 Act");

     2.   Evaluate and make recommendations to the full Board regarding
          potential Board candidates who are "interested persons" of the Trusts
          ("Interested Persons") as that term is defined by the 1940 Act; and

     3.   Review periodically the workload and capabilities of Independent
          Trustees and, as the Committee deems appropriate, make recommendations
          to the Board if such a review suggests that changes to the size or
          composition of the Board are warranted.

B.   COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP
     --------------------

     1.   Composition. The Committee shall be composed solely of Independent
          Trustees.

     2.   Compensation. The Board shall determine the compensation of Committee
          members, including the Committee Chairperson.

     3.   Selection and Removal. The Board shall appoint members of the
          Committee and a Chairperson of the Committee for one-year terms. There
          is no limit on the number of consecutive terms that a Committee member
          or a Chairperson can serve. By a majority vote, the Board may remove
          or replace members of the Committee and designate a different member
          as Chairperson for any reason at any time.

C.   MEETINGS AND PROCEDURES
     -----------------------

     1.   MEETINGS. The Committee shall meet on an as-needed basis to carry out
          its duties under this Charter. Meetings may be called by the
          Chairperson of the

                                       15



          Committee or by a majority of the Committee members. Meetings shall be
          chaired by the Chairperson or, in his or her absence, by a member
          chosen by the Committee. Meetings may be conducted with members
          present in person or by telephone or other communications facilities
          that permit all persons participating in the meeting to hear or
          communicate with each other. A majority of the members of the
          Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
          The act of a majority of the members present at a meeting at which a
          quorum is present shall be the act of the Committee.

     2.   MINUTES. The Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings and provide
          copies of such minutes to each full Board for its review.

     3.   ANNUAL REVIEW. The Committee shall review this Charter at least
          annually and recommend any necessary changes to the Board.

     4.   INVITATIONS TO MEETINGS. The Committee may request that a non-member
          with information on a potential Board candidate attend a meeting of
          the Committee or meet with any members of, or consultants to, the
          Committee.

     5.   INDEPENDENT ADVISERS. The Committee shall have the authority, to the
          extent it deems necessary or appropriate and without seeking approval
          of each full Board, to retain special legal, accounting or other
          advisers. Each Trust shall provide appropriate funding, as determined
          by the Committee, for payment of ordinary administrative Committee
          expenses, as well as for compensation to any advisers retained by the
          Committee.

     6.   SELF-EVALUATION. The Committee shall periodically review the
          effectiveness of the Committee and its members.

D.   RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMMITTEE
     -------------------------------

     1.   CANDIDATE IDENTIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATION. The Committee shall
          identify and recommend to the Board the selection and nomination of
          candidates for Independent Trustee. The Committee shall consider
          recommendations for potential candidates from any source it deems
          appropriate--Board members, Fund shareholders, legal counsel to the
          Independent Trustees or other such sources as the Committee deems
          appropriate.

     2.   CANDIDATE EVALUATIONS. The Committee shall evaluate potential
          candidates' qualifications for Board membership and their independence
          from each Fund's investment adviser and other principal service
          providers. The Committee shall consider the effect of any
          relationships delineated in the 1940 Act or other types of
          relationships, E.G., business, financial or family relationships with
          the investment adviser(s) or other principal service providers, which
          might impair independence. In determining potential candidates'
          qualifications for Board membership, the Committee may consider all
          factors it may determine to be relevant to fulfilling the role of
          being a member of the Board.

                                       16


               a.   CRITERIA FOR SELECTING NOMINEES.
                    -------------------------------

                    The Committee shall nominate candidates for new or vacant
                    Board positions based on its evaluation of which applicants
                    or potential candidates are most qualified to serve and
                    protect the interests of each Trust's shareholders and to
                    promote the effective operation of the Board. In order for
                    the Committee to consider an applicant or potential
                    candidate, the Committee initially must receive at least the
                    following information regarding such person: (1) name; (2)
                    date of birth; (3) education; (4) business, professional or
                    other relevant experience and areas of expertise; (5)
                    current business, professional or other relevant experience
                    and areas of expertise; (6) current business and home
                    addresses and contact information; (7) other board positions
                    or prior experience; and (8) any knowledge and experience
                    relating to investment companies and investment company
                    governance (collectively, "Preliminary Information").

                    A  successful  candidate  must  qualify  as  an  Independent
                    Trustee  under the 1940 Act and should have certain  uniform
                    characteristics,  such as a very  high  level of  integrity,
                    appropriate  experience,  and a  commitment  to fulfill  the
                    fiduciary duties inherent in Board membership. The Committee
                    also shall consider the extent to which potential candidates
                    possess   sufficiently  diverse  skill  sets  and  diversity
                    characteristics that would contribute to the Board's overall
                    effectiveness.

               b.   SUBMISSIONS BY SHAREHOLDERS OF POTENTIAL NOMINEES.
                    -------------------------------------------------

                    The Committee shall consider potential candidates for
                    nomination identified by one or more shareholders of a
                    Trust. Shareholders can submit recommendations in writing to
                    the attention of the Chairperson of the Committee at an
                    address to be maintained by Trust management for this
                    purpose. In order to be considered by the Committee, any
                    shareholder recommendation must include the Preliminary
                    Information set forth in subsection 2.a above.

                    Following an initial  evaluation by the  Committee  based on
                    the Preliminary Information, a successful candidate proposed
                    by a shareholder must:

                    (1) demonstrate the integrity, experience, sound business
                    judgment, talents and commitment necessary to fulfill the
                    fiduciary duties inherent in Board membership and to add
                    value to the Board's performance of its duties;

                    (2) be prepared to submit written answers to a questionnaire
                    seeking professional and personal information that will
                    assist the Committee to evaluate the candidate and to
                    determine, among other matters, whether the

                                       17


                candidate would be an Independent Trustee under the 1940 Act or
                otherwise have material relationships with key service providers
                to the Trusts;

                    (3) submit  character  references  and agree to  appropriate
                    background checks;

                    (4) demonstrate the  disposition to act  independently  from
                    management,  but  effectively  within  a Board  composed  of
                    numerous members;

                    (5) be  willing  to meet  with  one or more  members  of the
                    Committee  at  a  time  and  location  convenient  to  those
                    Committee  members  in  order  to  discuss  the  candidate's
                    qualifications; and

                    (6) if  nominated  and  elected,  be able to prepare for and
                    attend in person  Board and  Committee  meetings  at various
                    locations in the United States.

     3.   EVALUATION OF CANDIDATES FOR NOMINATION AS INTERESTED TRUSTEES. The
          Committee shall evaluate those Interested Persons who are proposed by
          management of the Trusts to serve as Board members and then make
          appropriate recommendations to the Board regarding such proposed
          nominees. The Committee shall review such information as it deems
          appropriate in order to make this evaluation. At its option, the
          Committee also can seek to interview any such potential nominee.

     4.   BOARD COMPOSITION. The Committee shall periodically review the
          composition of the Board and the backgrounds of the Board members to
          determine whether it may be appropriate to recommend adding or
          removing Trustees, and propose to the Board and the Independent
          Trustees changes to the number of positions on the Board and the
          addition or removal of Trustees.

                     INFORMATION ABOUT AUDIT AND OTHER FEES

AUDIT FEES

     The following table shows the aggregate fees billed(a) to the Trust by
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP ("PwC"), the Trust's independent registered
certified public accounting firm, for each of the indicated fiscal years for
professional services rendered in connection with the audit of the Trust's
annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by PwC in
connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements:

    TRUST                        YEAR END            2006            2005
  ------------------------    ---------------  --------------   -------------
  Cash Trust.............        August 31        $  52,000       $  48,000

AUDIT-RELATED FEES

     PwC did not bill the Trust during the last two fiscal years for assurance
and other services which are reasonably related to the performance of the
Trust's audit and not reported as audit fees. PwC billed Heritage and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Heritage for assurance
and other services directly related to the operations and financial reporting of
the Trust $0 for the year ended August 31, 2005, and $0 for the year ended
August 31, 2006.

TAX FEES

     The following table shows the aggregate tax fees billed to the Trust by PwC
for each of the indicated fiscal years for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax
planning services:

    TRUST                        YEAR END            2006            2005
  ------------------------    ---------------  --------------   -------------
  Cash Trust.............        August 31        $  10,000       $   6,000

ALL OTHER FEES

     For the Trust's last two respective fiscal years, the Trust, Heritage and
any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Heritage
paid PwC no other fees.

AUDIT COMMITTEE'S PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

     The Audit Committee Charter of the Trust provides that the Audit Committee
(comprised of the Independent Trustees of the Trust) is responsible for
pre-approval of all auditing services performed for the Trust. The Audit
Committee reports to the Board regarding its approval of the engagement of the
auditor and the proposed fees

                                       22


for the engagement, and the majority of the Board (including the members of the
Board who are Independent Trustees) must approve the auditor at an in-person
meeting. The Audit Committee also is responsible for pre-approval (subject to
the DE MINIMUS exception for non-audit services described in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rule thereunder and not
expecting to exceed $5,000) of all non-auditing services performed for the
registrant or for any service affiliate of registrant. The Audit Committee
Charter also permits a designated member of the audit committee to pre-approve,
between meetings, one or more non-audit service projects, subject to
ratification by the Audit Committee at the next meeting of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee pre-approved all fees described above which PwC billed to
registrant.

     Less than 50% of the hours billed by PwC for auditing services to
registrant for the Trust's respective most recent fiscal year end, were for work
performed by persons other than full-time, permanent employees of PwC. No
non-audit fees were billed by PwC to the Trust, Heritage and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Heritage for each
Trust's last two respective fiscal years.

     The Audit Committee has considered the non-audit services provided to the
Trust and Heritage and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with Heritage as described above and determined that these services do
not compromise PwC's independence.

     (a)   All numbers are rounded to the nearest thousand.
