PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash and short-term U.S. Treasury securities and securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises and repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such instruments. Additionally, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements fully collateralized by U.S. government securities. At the time of purchase, a portfolio investment must present minimal credit risk in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and pursuant to certain factors prescribed by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). These investments may have fixed, floating or variable rates of interest. In pursuing its investment objective and implementing its investment strategies, the Fund will comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH&Co.”), through a separately identifiable department (the “Investment Adviser”), serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. In selecting securities, the Investment Adviser seeks to maximize current income within the limits of the Fund’s credit, maturity and diversification policies. Some of these policies may be stricter than required by applicable federal regulation. As a U.S. government money market fund, in order to preserve the value of investors’ capital, the Fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 net asset value (“NAV”) per share price.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUND

The principal risks of investing in the Fund and the circumstances reasonably likely to adversely affect an investment are listed and described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Stable NAV Risk:

This is the risk that the Fund will not be able to maintain a NAV per share of $1.00 at all times.

Market Risk:

The price of a security may fall due to changing economic, political, regulatory or market conditions, or due to a company’s or issuer’s individual situation. Natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness and other public health emergencies, recession, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased market volatility and may have adverse effects on world economies and markets generally.

Interest Rate Risk:

This is the risk associated with the price fluctuation of a security in response to changes in interest rates and the possibility that the Fund’s yield may decline if interest rates decline.

Repurchase Agreement Risk:

This is the risk that the other party to a repurchase agreement will default on its obligation under the agreement.

U.S. Government Agency Securities Risk:

Certain U.S. government agency securities are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury while others are supported only by the credit of the issuer or instrumentality. In the case of securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, it may not be possible to assert a claim against the United States itself in the event the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the security for ultimate repayment does not meet its commitments. Such securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.

Variable and Floating Rate Instrument Risk:

The absence of an active market for these securities could make it difficult for the Fund to dispose of them if the issuer defaults.

Regulatory Risk:

The SEC and other regulators may adopt additional money market fund regulations in the future, which may impact the operation and performance of the Fund.

Large Shareholder Risk:

This is the risk that asset allocation decisions, particularly large redemptions made by BBH&Co., whose discretionary investment advisory clients make up a large percentage of the Fund’s shareholders, may adversely impact remaining Fund shareholders.

6


Management Risk:

This is the risk that the securities selected by the Investment Adviser will underperform the markets, the relevant indices or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies.

Credit Risk:

Credit risk refers to the likelihood that an issuer, guarantor, or counterparty to a debt obligation will default on interest or principal payments.

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of BBH&Co. and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. Additionally, BBH&Co. as the Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that BBH&Co. will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
