Dear Shareholder:
I am writing to shareholders of the Evergreen Funds to let you know about a
Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds to be held on May 31, 2002.
Before that meeting, I would like your vote on three important proposals
described in the accompanying Notice of Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders
and Proxy Statement.
The first proposal would authorize each of the Funds to participate in an
interfund lending program whereby Funds with available cash would be able to
lend their excess cash on a short-term basis to other Funds in the Evergreen
Family of Funds. As explained in the accompanying proxy statement, the Boards of
Trustees believe that the interfund lending program will permit Funds with
excess cash to earn a higher rate of return on their excess cash than they could
earn on other short-term investments, while enabling Funds with short-term
borrowing needs to borrow at lower rates than may be available from banks.
The second proposal would ratify the Trustees' selection of KPMG LLP as
independent auditors for the Funds.
The third proposal, which applies to shareholders of Evergreen Utility and
Telecommunications Fund and Evergreen Precious Metals Fund only, would allow
Evergreen Utility and Telecommunications Fund and Evergreen Precious Metals Fund
to operate as non-diversified funds.
The Boards of Trustees of the Trusts have unanimously approved each
Proposal and recommend that you vote FOR each Proposal.
I realize that this Proxy Statement will take time to review, but your vote
is very important. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the
proposals and to sign and return your proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid
envelope today. Instructions on how to complete the proxy card as well as how to
vote your proxy using other methods are included immediately after the Notice of
Joint Special Meeting.
If you have any questions about the proxy, please call Georgeson
Shareholder Communications, Inc., our proxy solicitor, toll free at
866-515-0317.
Thank you for taking this matter seriously and participating in this
important process.
Sincerely,

JOINT SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
May 31, 2002
PROXY STATEMENT
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Boards of Trustees of Evergreen Equity Trust, Evergreen Fixed
Income Trust, Evergreen Select Equity Trust, and Evergreen Select Fixed Income
Trust (the "Trusts"), for use at a Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders of the
Trusts to be held at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on May 31, 2002 at the offices of
the Evergreen Funds, 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116, and any
adjournments thereof (collectively, the "Meeting"). A notice of the Meeting and
a proxy card accompany this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement and the
accompanying Notice of Special Meeting and proxy card are first being mailed to
shareholders on or about April 12, 2002. The costs of solicitation and the
expenses incurred in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its
enclosures will be paid by all of the Evergreen Funds participating in the
Interfund Lending Program. The most recent annual report of any of the Evergreen
Funds is available upon request without charge by calling Georgeson Shareholder
Communications, Inc., our proxy solicitor, toll free at 866-515-0317.
If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and returned in time to be voted
at the Meeting, the shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") represented by the
proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked therein. Unless
instructions to the contrary are marked on the proxy, it will be voted FOR the
matters listed in the accompanying Notice of Joint Special Meeting of
Shareholders. Proxies that reflect abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e.,
shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been
received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the
broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular
matter) will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for
purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not have the effect
of being counted as votes against Proposal Two, which must be approved by a
majority of the shareholders of a Trust whose shares are cast at the Meeting.
However, such abstentions and "broker non-votes" will have the effect of being
counted as votes against Proposals One and Three, which must each be approved
with respect to the applicable Funds by a Majority Vote (as defined below) of
the shareholders of each Fund. Any shareholder who has given a proxy has the
right to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise either by attending the
Meeting and voting his or her Shares in person, or by submitting a letter of
revocation or a later-dated proxy to the respective Trust at the above address
prior to the date of the Meeting.
The Shares of the Trusts entitled to vote at the Meeting are issued in
separate series, each representing a separate investment portfolio, each of
which is referred to as a "Fund." In voting on each of the Proposals, each Share
of a Fund is entitled one vote for each dollar of net asset value and a
fractional vote for each fraction of a dollar of net asset value attributable to
such Share. If a quorum with respect to a Fund is not present at the Meeting, or
if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve each applicable proposal
with respect to a Fund are not received, the persons named as proxies on the
enclosed proxy card may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to
permit further solicitation of proxies. In determining whether to adjourn the
Meeting, the following factors may be considered: the nature of the proposals
that are the subject of the Meeting, the percentage of votes actually cast, the
percentage of negative votes actually cast, the nature of any further
solicitation and the information to be provided to shareholders with respect to
the reasons for the solicitation. Any adjournment will require the affirmative
vote of a majority of those Shares of a Fund represented at the Meeting in
person or by proxy. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the
proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to any such adjournment if sufficient
votes have been received for approval. Under each Trust's Agreement and
Declaration of Trust (the "Declaration of Trust"), a quorum of shareholders is
constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of 25% of the
outstanding Shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting.
For ease of reference, the following table lists the proposals to be
acted on by the shareholders, and indicates which Funds are eligible to
vote on each such proposal:

PROPOSAL ONE
TO APPROVE A CHANGE TO EACH FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT
RESTRICTION CONCERNING LENDING IN ORDER TO PERMIT EACH FUND TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM
(All Funds Except Evergreen Precious Metals Fund)
Introduction
When a shareholder redeems his or her shares of a Fund, the Fund may
not have sufficient cash on hand to pay the redemption proceeds. In that
case, the Fund may sell portfolio securities or it may choose to borrow
money for a short period of time. Borrowing may often be less disruptive to
the Fund's investment strategy than liquidating investments.
Each Fund has a borrowing policy that permits, among other things, the
Fund to borrow from banks or others as a temporary measure up to 33 1/3% of
its assets. Each Fund may also borrow up to an additional 5% of its total
assets from banks or others. Currently, the Funds have a credit facility in
which a number of banks participate. The Funds can use this facility to
borrow to meet redemptions and for other temporary purposes. The Funds pay
a commitment fee to the banks, whether or not they borrow from the credit
facility.
At any given time, while one or more of the Funds may wish to borrow
money, other Funds may have excess cash, which they generally invest in
short-term (usually overnight) repurchase agreements with banks or in money
market funds. The borrowing Funds in general pay a higher rate of interest
on their bank loans than the other Funds earn on their short-term
investments. In effect, the difference between the rate banks pay in
interest on repurchase agreements and what the banks charge in interest to
the borrowing Funds represents the banks' compensation for arranging the
loans. Accordingly, the Boards of the Trusts believe that a Fund needing
cash may be able to obtain lower rates through an interfund lending program
and a Fund with excess cash may be able to obtain a rate of return higher
than those offered on alternative short-term investments.
The Interfund Lending Proposal
In order for each Fund to participate in the Interfund Lending Program
as a lender, each Fund's fundamental investment restriction regarding
lending must be amended. Currently, each Fund's policy provides as follows:
Each Fund may not make loans to other persons, except that a
Fund may lend its portfolio securities in accordance
with applicable law. The acquisition of investment
securities or other investment instruments shall not be
deemed to be the making of a loan.
The Boards recommend that the policy be amended to read as follows
(with new language underlined):
Each Fund may not make loans to other persons, except that
a Fund may lend its portfolio securities or cash in
accordance with applicable law. The acquisition of
investment securities or other investment instruments
shall not be deemed to be the making of a loan.
If the proposed amended policy is approved with respect to a Fund,
that Fund would be eligible to participate as a lender in the interfund
lending program. (No shareholder approval is required for a Fund to
participate as a borrower in the interfund lending program.) All loans
would be made pursuant to a master loan agreement, and a lending Fund could
lend available cash to another Fund only when the "interfund rate" was
higher than the rate the lending Fund could earn on a repurchase agreement
or on other comparable short-term investments. Each borrowing Fund could
borrow through the interfund lending program only when the interfund rate,
plus any associated fees, was lower than the available bank loan rate.
In determining to recommend the proposed amended policy to
shareholders, the Trustees of each Trust considered the possible risks to a
Fund from participating in the interfund lending program. The Funds'
investment advisers do not view the difference in rate available on bank
borrowings and repurchase agreements or other short-term investments as
reflecting a material difference in the riskiness of the transactions, but
rather as reflecting the need of banks to earn a spread between their cost
of borrowing (through repurchase agreements) and what they charge as
interest on loans. However, there is a risk that a lending Fund could
experience delays in obtaining prompt repayment of a loan. A delay in
receiving repayment could cause a lending Fund to miss an investment
opportunity or to incur costs to borrow money to replace the delayed
payment. In addition, when a Fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it
receives collateral; by contrast, it is not expected that a lending Fund
would receive collateral from a borrowing Fund, although a lending Fund
could require collateral in connection with a particular loan.
The Boards of the Trusts believe that the benefits to the Funds of
participation in the interfund lending program outweigh these risks.
In order to permit the Funds to engage in interfund borrowing and
lending transactions, regulatory approval from the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") was required because the transactions may be
considered to be between affiliated persons and therefore prohibited by the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Funds have sought and
obtained an exemptive order from the SEC to permit the operation of the
interfund lending program, subject to certain conditions. If shareholders
of a Fund approve the Fund's participation as a lender in the program, all
loans would be made in accordance with the conditions contained in the
order or in any amendment to the order.
Required Vote
Approval of Proposal One with respect to a Fund requires the vote of a
majority of the shareholders of that Fund. A majority is defined in the
1940 Act as the lesser of (a) 67% of the Shares of the Fund present at the
Meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding Shares are present in person or
by proxy at the Meeting; or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding Shares of
the Fund ("Majority Vote"). If Proposal One is not approved by shareholders
of a Fund, that Fund will not participate as a lender in the Interfund
Lending Program.
THE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF EACH FUND
VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL ONE.
PROPOSAL TWO
TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF KPMG LLP AS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE FUNDS
(All Funds Except Evergreen Precious Metals Fund)
The Trustees of each Trust have selected KPMG LLP as independent
auditors for each Fund to sign or certify any financial statements of the
Funds required by law to be certified by an independent auditor, including
filings with the SEC.
The applicable provisions of the 1940 Act require that selection of
independent auditors be made by those Trustees who are not "interested
persons" of a Trust (the "Independent Trustees") and that it be ratified by
shareholders. In addition, as required by the 1940 Act, the Independent
Trustees' selection of independent auditors is subject to the right of each
Trust, by vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities at any
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such action, to terminate the
independent auditors' employment without penalty.
The independent auditors examine annual financial statements for the
Funds and provide other audit- and tax-related services. In recommending
the selection of the Funds' auditors, the Trusts' Audit Committees reviewed
the nature and scope of the services to be provided (including non-audit
services) and whether the performance of such services would affect the
auditors' independence. Representatives of KPMG LLP 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.
The following table sets forth for the most recently completed fiscal
year of each Trust (1) the aggregate amount of fees billed by KPMG LLP for
audit services to the Trust, (2) the aggregate amount of fees billed for
financial information systems design and implementation services by KPMG
LLP for services rendered to each Trust, the Trust's investment advisers,
and to all affiliates of the advisers that provide services to the Trust;
and (3) the aggregate amount of fees billed by KPMG LLP for all other
services rendered to each Trust, the Trust's investment advisers, and all
other affiliates of the advisers that provide services to the Trust.
Financial Information
Trust Name Audit Fees Systems Design and All Other Fees 1
Implementation Fees
Evergreen Equity Trust $362,500 -- $290,100
Evergreen Fixed Income Trust $112,000 -- $263,100
Evergreen Select Equity Trust
$159,850 -- $277,500
Evergreen Select Fixed Income Trust $151,950 -- $268,275
1 For each Trust, the "All Other Fees" totals include (a)
audit-related fees for audits of affiliated entities of the Trusts in the
amount of $232,500 and (b) other non-audit services, consisting of tax
compliance services and issuance of certain agreed upon procedures letters
for the Trusts and affiliated entities as follows: Evergreen Equity Trust
-- $57,600, Evergreen Fixed Income Trust --$30,600, Evergreen Select Equity
Trust -- $45,000, and Evergreen Select Fixed Income Trust -- $35,775.
Required Vote
Approval of Proposal Two with respect to a Trust requires the vote of
a majority of the shareholders of that Trust whose shares are cast at the
Meeting.
THE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF EACH FUND VOTE "FOR"
PROPOSAL TWO.
PROPOSAL THREE
TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS OF EVERGREEN
UTILITY AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND AND EVERGREEN PRECIOUS METALS FUND
CONCERNING DIVERSIFICATION
The 1940 Act requires all mutual funds to specify whether they are
"diversified" or "non-diversified" and provides that a fund can change its
classification only with the approval of shareholders. Currently, Evergreen
Utility and Telecommunications Fund ("Utility and Telecommunications Fund")
and Evergreen Precious Metals Fund ("Precious Metals Fund") are each
classified as a diversified fund. To remain classified as a diversified
investment company under the 1940 Act, each Fund must conform with the
following requirements: With respect to 75% of its total assets, the Fund
may not invest more than 5% of its total assets, determined at market or
other fair value at the time of purchase, in the securities of any one
issuer, or invest in more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
any one issuer, determined as of the time of purchase. These limitations do
not apply to investments in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or its agencies or instrumentalities.
The Boards of Trustees of Evergreen Equity Trust and Evergreen
International Trust propose changing Utility and Telecommunication Fund's
and Precious Metals Fund's classification to be non-diversified funds as
defined in the 1940 Act.
If the proposed amended policy is approved, Utility and
Telecommunications Fund and Precious Metals Fund would each be permitted to
invest up to 25% of its assets in a single issuer, and up to 50% of its
assets could consist of the securities of only two issuers. With respect to
the remainder of each Fund's assets, no more than 5% could be invested in
any one issuer, and each Fund may not own more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of any issuer. The Boards of Trustees believe that the
investment flexibility provided by this change could help each Fund focus
its investments on those companies which can best assist the Fund achieve
its investment objective.
In determining to recommend the proposed amended policy to
shareholders, the Trustees of Evergreen Equity Trust and Evergreen
International Trust considered the possible risks to each Fund from
becoming non-diversified. A higher percentage of investments among fewer
issuers may result in greater fluctuation in the total market value of each
Fund's portfolio than in the portfolio of a fund which invests in a larger
number of issuers.
The Boards of Trustees believe that the additional flexibility
afforded each of Utility and Telecommunications Fund and Precious Metals
Fund by being able to concentrate its investments outweighs this risk.
Required Vote
Approval of Proposal Three requires a Majority Vote of the
shareholders of Utility and Telecommunications Fund or Precious Metals
Fund, as applicable. If Proposal Three is not approved by shareholders of a
Fund, that Fund will continue to operate as a diversified fund.
THE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES OF EVERGREEN EQUITY TRUST AND EVERGREEN INTERNATIONAL
TRUST RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF UTILITY AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND AND
PRECIOUS METALS FUND, RESPECTIVELY, VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL THREE.
OTHER MATTERS
Submission of Shareholder Proposals
The Trusts are not generally required to hold annual or special
meetings of shareholders. Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for
inclusion in a proxy statement for a subsequent shareholders' meeting of a
Trust should send their written proposals to the Secretary of the
respective Trust, 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA 02116.
Shareholders' Request for Special Meeting
Shareholders holding at least 10% of a Trust's outstanding voting
securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) may require the calling of a
meeting of the Trust's shareholders for the purpose of voting on the
removal of any Board member. Meetings of a Trust's shareholders for any
other purpose will also be called by the Board when requested in writing by
shareholders holding at least 10% of the Shares then outstanding or, if the
Board members shall fail to call or give notice of any meeting of
shareholders for a period of 30 days after such application, shareholders
holding at least 10% of the Shares then outstanding may call and give
notice of such meeting.
Other Matters to Come Before the Meeting
The Boards do not intend to present any other business at the Meeting
other than as described in this Proxy Statement, nor are the Boards aware
that any shareholder intends to do so. If, however, any other matters are
properly brought before the Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying
proxy card will vote thereon in accordance with their judgment.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PROXIES BE RETURNED PROMPTLY. SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT
EXPECT TO ATTEND THE MEETING ARE THEREFORE URGED TO COMPLETE, SIGN, DATE, AND
RETURN THE PROXY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE PAID ENVELOPE.
