The Fund’s Main Investment Strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests in high quality, short-term money market instruments that are issued and payable in U.S. dollars. The Fund principally invests in:

 

Ÿ  

repurchase agreements,

 

Ÿ  

commercial paper,

 

Ÿ  

debt securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. and foreign banks, including certificates of deposit, time deposits and other short-term securities, and

 

Ÿ  

securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will maintain a maximum dollar-weighted average maturity of ten days or less.

The dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund is the average of all the current maturities (generally, the current maturity is the term of the securities) of the individual securities in the Fund’s portfolio weighted by the market value of each security. Dollar-weighted average maturity is important to investors as an indication of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Generally, the shorter the dollar-weighted average maturity the less time that is required to reflect interest rate changes in the yields produced by the Fund’s portfolio. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will purchase securities with a maximum final maturity of ten days. For purposes of calculating the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund and the maturity of each security in the Fund’s portfolio, the adviser may apply maturity calculation provisions under applicable regulation.

 

 

1


The Fund is a money market fund managed in the following manner:

 

Ÿ  

The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

 

Ÿ  

The Fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated securities.

 

Ÿ  

The Fund seeks to invest in securities that present minimal credit risk.

The Fund will concentrate its investments in the banking industry. Therefore, under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in securities issued by companies in the banking industry. The Fund may, however, invest less than 25% of its total assets in this industry as a temporary defensive measure.

The Fund’s adviser seeks to develop an appropriate portfolio by considering the differences in yields among securities of different maturities, market sectors and issuers.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and the Fund may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or interest rates are not met.

 

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Interest Rate Risk. Changes in short-term interest rates will cause changes to the Fund’s yield. In addition, a low-interest rate environment may prevent the Fund from providing a positive yield or maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. During periods of falling interest rates, the Fund expects to underperform money market funds that maintain longer dollar-weighted average maturities. Given the historically low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened.

Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that an issuer or a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or a counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality of the issuer or counterparty may deteriorate making it difficult for the Fund to sell such investments.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which

increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Mortgage-Related Securities Risk. Mortgage-related securities are subject to certain other risks, including prepayment and call risks. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility.

Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. U.S. government securities include zero coupon securities, which tend to be subject to greater market risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

Concentration Risk. Because the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies in the banking industry, developments affecting the banking industry may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund. These risks generally include interest rate risk, credit risk and risk associated with regulatory changes in the banking industry. The profitability of banks depends largely on the availability and cost of funds, which can change depending on economic conditions.

Foreign Securities Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Repurchase Agreement Risk. There is a risk that the counter-party to a repurchase agreement will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation and the value of your investment could decline as a result.

Net Asset Value Risk. There is no assurance that the Fund will meet its investment objective of maintaining a net asset value of $1.00 per share on a continuous basis. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Fund’s affiliates will purchase distressed assets from the Fund, make capital infusions, enter into capital support agreements or take other actions to ensure that the Fund maintains a net asset value of $1.00 per share. In the event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value, other money market funds, including the Fund, could face a universal risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their net asset values. In general, certain other money market funds have in the past failed to maintain stable net asset values and there can be no assurance that such failures and resulting redemption pressures will not occur in the future.

Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash. Although the Fund seeks to be fully invested, it may at times hold some of its assets in cash, which may hurt the Fund’s performance.

Risk of Regulation of Money Market Funds. Money market funds are subject to diversity, liquidity, credit quality, and maturity

requirements pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. The SEC and other regulatory agencies continue to review the regulation of money market funds, and may take additional regulatory action in the future. These changes may affect the securities and markets in which the Fund invests. These changes may also impact the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategies as well as its future operations, expenses and/or yields.

Privately Placed Securities Risk. Privately placed securities generally are less liquid than publicly traded securities and the Fund may not always be able to sell such securities without experiencing delays in finding buyers or reducing the sale price for such securities. The disposition of some of the securities held by the Fund may be restricted under federal securities laws. As a result, the Fund may not be able to dispose of such investments at a time when, or at a price at which, it desires to do so and may have to bear expenses of registering these securities, if necessary. These securities may also be difficult to value.

Volcker Rule Risk. As of the commencement of the Fund’s operations, the adviser and/or its affiliates owned 25% or more of the Fund’s outstanding ownership interests. Pursuant to section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and certain rules promulgated thereunder known as the Volcker Rule, if the adviser and/or its affiliates own 25% or more of the outstanding ownership interests of the Fund after one year from the implementation of the Fund’s investment strategy (or such longer period as may be permitted by the Federal Reserve), the Fund could be subject to restrictions on trading that would adversely impact the Fund’s ability to execute its investment strategy. As a result, the adviser and/or its affiliates may be required to reduce their ownership interests in the Fund at a time that is sooner than would otherwise be desirable, which may result in the Fund’s liquidation or, if the Fund is able to continue operating, may result in losses, increased transaction costs and adverse tax consequences as a result of the sale of portfolio securities.

 

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
