conflict of interest between the interests of the Trust and AFC or its
affiliates. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the Committee had
two meetings relating to the Trust.

   The Trust's Audit Committee is composed entirely of Trustees who are not
interested persons of the Trust, AFC or its affiliates. Currently, Mr. Holmes

   The Trust's Governance Committee is composed entirely of Trustees who are
not interested persons of the Trust, AFC or its affiliates. Currently Ms.
Warner (Chairman), Ms. Hargadon and Mr. Harris comprise the Committee. The
Committee is charged with the duties of reviewing the composition and
compensation of the Trustees, proposing additional non-interested Trustees for
election to the Board and reviewing major personnel changes of the Trust.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the Committee had two meetings.
The Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by Shareholders.
Recommendations should be submitted to the Committee in care of the Secretary
of the Trust.

   If any of the nominees for election as Trustees shall by reason of death or
for any other reason become unavailable as a candidate at the Meeting, votes
pursuant to the enclosed proxy will be cast for a substitute candidate in the
discretion of the persons named as proxies therein, or their substitutes,
present and acting at the Meeting, or the Trustees may reduce the size of the
Board.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 30(h) of
the 1940 Act require the Trust's Trustees and officers, its investment adviser
and certain affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own
more than ten percent of the Trust's shares to file reports of initial
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange. These individuals are required by SEC
regulations to furnish the Trust with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.

   To the Trust's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such
reports furnished to the Trust and written representations that no other
reports were required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its
officers, Trustees, greater than ten percent beneficial owners and other
persons subject to Section 16(a) reporting were complied with during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2002.

Recommended Shareholder Action and Required Vote

   The Trustees recommend that the Shareholders vote for each nominee. A
plurality of the votes properly cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting is
required for the election of the Trustees.

2.  OTHER MATTERS AND DISCRETION OF PERSONS NAMED AS PROXIES

   While the Meeting is called to act upon any business that may properly come
before it, at the date of this Proxy Statement the only business which
management intends to present or knows that others will present is the business
mentioned in the Notice of the Meeting. If any other matters lawfully come
before the Meeting, and on all procedural matters at said Meeting, it is
intended that the enclosed proxy shall be voted in accordance with the best
judgment of the persons named as proxies therein, or their substitutes, present
and acting at the Meeting. A proxy may confer discretionary authority to vote
on matters brought before an annual meeting of shareholders if the Trust did
not have notice of the matter at least 45 days before the date on which the
Trust first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting of
shareholders (or date specified by an advance notice provision).

                                      6

   No proposals were submitted by Shareholders for presentation at the Meeting.
Shareholder proposals which are intended to be presented at the Annual Meeting
in 2004 must be received at the principal executive offices of the Trust, 440
Lincoln Street, Worcester, MA 01653, on or before November 1, 2003, for

   Messrs. Kavanaugh, Litchfield, Wayman and Boyd, and Ms. Tripp have been

President/Treasurer of Tax & Financial Services, BISYS Fund Services,
1997-1999, and Director of Shareholder Reporting, Fidelity Investments,
1992-1997.

Quorum and Method of Tabulation

   Thirty percent (30%) of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or
represented by proxy, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at
the Meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by
persons appointed by the Trust to act as tellers for the Meeting.

   The tellers will count the total number of votes cast "for" approval of the
proposals for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have
been cast. The tellers will count shares represented by proxies that withhold
authority to vote for a nominee for election as a Trustee or that reflect
abstentions or "broker nonvotes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as
to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or
persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have the
discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as shares that are present
and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of
a quorum. With respect to the election of Trustees, neither withholding
authority to vote nor abstentions nor broker nonvotes have any effect on the
outcome of the voting on the matter.

Audit Committee Report

   As required by Federal securities regulations, the Trust's Audit Committee
submits the following report regarding its oversight of the Trust's financial
reporting process:

    1. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Trust's audited financial
       statements with management;

    2. The Audit Committee and the independent accountants have discussed the
       matters regarding SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing
       Standards, AU 380) relating to the quality and consistency of accounting
       principles. This communication between the Audit Committee and the
       independent accountants will assist the Audit Committee in performing
       its oversight role in reviewing auditing procedures and evaluating the
       audit function as a whole.

    3. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter
       from the independent accountants required by the Independence Standards
       Board Standard No. 1, and has discussed with the independent accountants
       the independent accountants' independence.

    4. The Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Trustees of the
       Trust that the audited financial statements be included in the Trust's
       Annual Report to Shareholders for the last fiscal year.

   The Trust's Audit Committee has considered the effect, if any, that any
non-audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP have or might have on
the continued independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

   The Audit Committee Report is submitted by the Audit Committee comprised of
Gordon Holmes (Chairman), P. Kevin Condron, Jocelyn S. Davis and Attiat F. Ott,
all disinterested Trustees.

   A determination has been made that the members of the Trust's Audit
Committee are independent, financially literate and at least one member of the
Committee has accounting or related financial management expertise as defined
under applicable New York Stock Exchange standards.

                                   APPENDIX

                          ALLMERICA INVESTMENT TRUST
                          ALLMERICA SECURITIES TRUST

                            AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

   1.  Composition:  The Audit Committee shall be composed of not less than
three Trustees who are elected by a majority of the full Board of Trustees.
Each Trustee who is a member of the Committee shall be an unaffiliated,
non-interested person, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act") and, with respect to Allmerica Securities Trust, an independent
Trustee in accordance with New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules. All members of
the Audit Committee must be "financially literate," i.e., familiar with basic
finance and accounting practices, and at least one member of the Committee must
have accounting or related financial management expertise. Financial literacy
shall be determined in accordance with NYSE rules. The Committee shall appoint
a Chairperson to preside at all meetings of the Committee.

   2.  Purpose:  The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of
Trustees in fulfilling its oversight function. The Committee assists the
Trustees in determining that the assets of the Trust are properly safeguarded
and valued and that the Trusts' policies are being carried out, and in
monitoring the Trusts' financial reporting to their shareholders, the general
public and applicable regulatory agencies.

   3.  General responsibilities of the Audit Committee are:

      (a) to oversee the Trusts' accounting and financial reporting policies
   and practices, their internal controls and, as appropriate, the internal
   controls of the Trusts' service providers;

      (b) to oversee the quality and objectivity of the Trusts' financial
   statements and the audit thereof by the Trusts' independent auditors; and

      (c) to act as a liaison between the Trusts' independent auditors and the
   full Board of Trustees.

While the Committee has the responsibility and powers set forth in this
Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee (i) to plan or conduct audits,
which is the responsibility of the independent auditors, or (ii) to maintain or
arrange for the maintenance of appropriate systems for accounting and internal
controls or (iii) to determine that the Trusts' financial statements are
complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, which are the responsibilities of the Trusts' management.
Similarly, while it is the duty of the Committee to investigate disagreements,
if any, between management and the independent auditors, it is not the duty of
the Committee to resolve such disagreements.

   4.  To carry out the responsibilities listed in item 3, the Audit Committee
shall have the following duties and powers:

      (a) to recommend on a timely basis the selection, retention or
   termination of auditors and, in connection therewith, to evaluate the
   independence of the auditors, including the nature of any auditing,
   consulting or other services provided to the investment adviser or
   sub-adviser(s) of the Trusts or their affiliates, and to receive the
   auditors' specific representations as to their independence; and, with
   respect to Allmerica Securities Trust, (i) the independent auditors for the
   Trust are ultimately accountable to the Board of Trustees and Audit
   Committee of the Trust, and the Audit Committee and Board of Trustees have
   the ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, where
   appropriate, replace the independent auditors (or to nominate the
   independent auditors to be proposed for shareholder approval in any proxy



   statement); and (ii) the Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that
   the independent auditors submit on a periodic basis to the Audit Committee a
   formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditors
   and the Trust, and the Audit Committee is responsible for actively engaging
   in a dialogue with the independent auditors with respect to any disclosed
   relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence
   of the independent auditors and for recommending that the Board of Trustees
   take appropriate action in response to the independent auditors' report to
   satisfy itself of the independent auditors' independence;

      (b) to meet with the Trusts' independent auditors, including private
   meetings, as necessary (i) to review the arrangements for and scope of the
   annual audit and any special audits; (ii) to discuss any matters of concern
   relating to the Trusts' financial statements, including any adjustments to
   such statements recommended by the auditors, or other results of said
   audit(s); (iii) to consider the auditors' comments with respect to the
   Trusts' financial policies, procedures and internal accounting controls and,
   as appropriate, the controls of the Trusts' custodian, transfer agent and
   other service providers, and management's responses thereto; (iv) to review
   the form of opinion the auditors propose to render to the Board and
   shareholders; and (v) to review with a representative of the Trusts'
   management and the independent auditors the financial information contained
   in the Trusts' annual report to shareholders under Section 30(e) of the 1940
   Act and Rule 30d-1 thereunder prior to its filing; and, with respect to
   Allmerica Securities Trust, the Charter will be included as an appendix to
   any annual shareholders' meeting proxy statement at least once every three
   years, or in the next annual shareholders' meeting proxy statement after any
   significant amendment to the Charter;

      (c) to consider the effect upon the Trusts of any changes in accounting
   principles or practices proposed by management or the auditors and to review
   with management, the independent auditors and/or counsel, as appropriate,
   the effects of regulatory or accounting initiatives;

      (d) to review the fees charged by the auditors for audit and non-audit
   services;

      (e) to investigate improprieties or suspected improprieties in the
   Trusts' operations, and to review with counsel to the Trusts legal matters
   that may have a material impact on the financial statements, the Trusts'
   compliance policies and any material reports or inquiries received from
   regulatory or governmental agencies relating to financial matters;

      (f) if applicable, review any analyses prepared by the Trusts' management
   and/or independent auditors of significant financial reporting issues and
   judgments (including issues relating to the valuation of the Trusts'
   portfolio securities) made in connection with the preparation of the Trusts'
   financial statements, including any analyses of the effects of alternative
   approaches under generally accepted accounting principles on the Trusts'
   financial statements;

      (g) to meet periodically with the Trusts' management and independent
   auditors to review the Trusts' major financial risk exposures and the steps
   taken to monitor and control such exposures;

      (h) to review the experience and qualifications of the senior members of
   the Trusts' audit team and the Trusts' Treasurer and the quality control
   procedures of the independent auditor;

      (i) to review matters brought to the attention of the Board of Trustees
   by the Trusts' investment adviser or sub-adviser(s) or independent auditors
   involving the valuation of Trust assets, including fair valuation and
   single-source pricing;

                                      2



      (j) to review such other matters or information that the Committee
   believes may be relevant to the auditors, the audit engagement or the
   Trusts' financial policies and procedures or internal accounting controls,
   and to report on the independent auditors' report and the Committees'
   activities to the full Board on a regular and timely basis and to make such
   recommendations with respect to the above and other matters as the Committee
   may deem necessary or appropriate; and

      (k) to perform other oversight functions and conduct other reviews not
   referenced in this Charter as requested from time to time by the Board.

   5.  The Audit Committee shall meet on a regular basis as determined
necessary or appropriate by the Board of Trustees, but in no event less than
twice per year, and is empowered to hold special meetings as circumstances
require.

   6.  The Audit Committee shall maintain minutes of its meetings to be kept
with the records of the Trusts.

   7.  The Audit Committee shall meet on a periodic basis with the Treasurer of
the Trusts and other members of management, or at such other times as the
Committee deems necessary or appropriate.

   8.  The Audit Committee shall have the resources and authority appropriate
to discharge its responsibilities, including the authority to retain special
counsel, accounting and other experts or consultants at the expense of the
Trusts. The Committee may request any officer or employee of the Trusts or of
any of the Trusts' service providers or the Trusts' outside counsel or
independent auditors to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any
member of, or consultants to, the Committee.

   9.  The Audit Committee shall review and re-assess the adequacy of this
Charter at least annually and recommend any changes to the full Board of
Trustees.

Re:  Allmerica Securities Trust (the "Trust")
     Definitive Proxy Materials
     [File Nos. 2-46558; 811-2338, CIK #93730]

Dear Sir/Madam:

Pursuant to Rule 14a-6(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), please find for filing via EDGAR on behalf of the Trust one
copy of the Notice of Meeting, Proxy Statement, Form of Proxy and shareholder
letter in connection with the Trust's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held
on April 16, 2003. Included is a completed Schedule 14A Information Sheet. No
filing fee is submitted as we understand that no filing fee is required for this
type of filing based on Rule 14a-6(i) of the 1934 Act.

In accordance with Rule 14a-6(a) of the 1934 Act, preliminary proxy materials
have not been filed because the solicitation relates to an annual meeting for an
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, at which the only matter to be acted upon is the election of Trustees.
As required by Rule 14a-6(b) of the 1934 Act, copies of the proxy materials are
also being filed with the New York Stock Exchange, where the Trust's shares are
listed.

If you have any questions concerning this filing, please contact me at (508)
855-4013. Please return an electronic transmittal as evidence of your receipt of
this filing.

                                                Sincerely,

                                                /s/ George M. Boyd
                                                George M. Boyd, Esq.
                                                Trust Secretary
