Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Treasury Securities Cash Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in United States Treasury debt securities and obligations of agencies and instrumentalities of the United States, including repurchase agreements collateralized with such securities.


The fund seeks to provide a stable net asset value of $1 per share by investing in highly liquid securities and by maintaining an average maturity of 60 days or less. However, there can be no assurance that they can always do so (the fund is measured in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules applicable to money market funds).


In selecting investments, the Adviser's analysis encompasses an interest rate forecast that considers such factors as economic growth and the current inflation outlook. After establishing an interest rate outlook, the Adviser applies a process of selecting bonds for the fund's portfolio, which analyzes yields, maturities and bond ratings of particular bonds.

Principal Risks

•  Main Risk. The fund is designed for investors who primarily seek current income. The fund is not intended to be a complete investment program, and there is no assurance that its investment objectives can be achieved. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.


•  Income Risk. The fund is subject to income risk, which is the risk that a fund's dividends (income) will decline due to falling interest rates.


•  Inflation Risk. The fund's yields will vary as the short-term securities in their portfolios mature and the proceeds are reinvested in securities with different interest rates. Over time, the real value of the fund's yield may be eroded by inflation.


•  Issuer Risk. There is a possibility that an issuer of a security could be unable to make interest payments or repay principal. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect a security's value.

The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses for the fund to the extent necessary to maintain a certain minimum net yield for the fund, as determined by the Adviser with respect to the fund (Minimum Yield). The Adviser may recapture any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed within three years after the end of the fiscal year of such waiver and/or reimbursement to the extent that such recapture would not cause the fund's net yield to fall below the fund's previously determined Minimum Yield or the expenses to exceed the overall expense ratio limit in effect at the time of the waiver and/or reimbursement. This recapture could negatively affect the fund's yield and expenses in the future.
