This information supplements the First American Money Market Funds—Class A Shares prospectus dated December 22, 2023 (the “Prospectus”). Please retain this supplement for future reference.

 

 

 

The following replaces the first paragraph under the heading “More About the Funds—Principal Investment Strategies—Principal Investment Strategies Applicable to Each Fund” on page 24 of the Prospectus:

 

Each fund complies with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations that apply to money market funds. These regulations require that each fund’s investments mature within 397 days from the date of purchase and that each fund maintain a weighted average maturity of 60 days or less and a weighted average life of 120 days or less. The funds may invest in securities with variable or floating interest rates and securities with demand features. The maturities of these securities are determined according to regulations which allow the funds to consider some of these securities as having maturities shorter than their stated maturity dates. All of the funds’ investments must be in U.S. dollar-denominated high-quality securities which have been determined by the funds’ adviser to present minimal credit risk, which determination must include an analysis of the capacity of the security’s issuer or guarantor (including the provider of a conditional demand feature, when applicable) to meet its financial obligations. With limited exceptions, a fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities issued by the same issuer. Each fund must comply with weekly liquidity standards that require a fund to hold at least 50% of its total assets in cash, direct obligations of the U.S. Government, agency discount notes with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, or securities convertible into cash within five business days. Each fund, other than Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, must also comply with daily liquidity standards that require a fund to hold at least 25% of its total assets in cash, direct obligations of the U.S. Government, or securities convertible into cash within one business day. Each fund is limited to investing no more than 5% of its total assets in illiquid securities.

 

The following replaces the information provided under the heading “Shareholder Information—Additional Information on Purchasing and Redeeming Fund Shares—Liquidity Fees” on pages 44-46 of the Prospectus:

 

With respect to Retail Prime Obligations Fund and Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, under authority delegated to the adviser by the funds’ board of trustees, the adviser is permitted to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions (up to 2%) if it determines it is in the best interests of the fund to impose a liquidity fee. A liquidity fee may be imposed as early as the same day on which the adviser determines to impose such fee and may occur before the end of the business day. Liquidity fees may be terminated at any time in the discretion of the adviser.

 

Unprocessed purchase orders that the fund received prior to notification of the imposition of a liquidity fee will be canceled unless re-confirmed. Under certain circumstances, the fund may pay redemptions without adding a liquidity fee to the redemption amount if the fund can verify that the redemption or exchange order was submitted to the fund’s agent before the fund imposed liquidity fees. Once a liquidity fee is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a fund until the fee is terminated.

 

FAF-MM-PROA

  

 

 

 

The adviser generally expects that a liquidity fee would be imposed, if at all, during periods of extraordinary market stress. The adviser generally expects that a liquidity fee would be imposed only after the fund has notified financial intermediaries and shareholders that a liquidity fee will be imposed.

 

Announcements regarding the imposition of liquidity fees, or the termination of liquidity fees, will be filed with the SEC on Form N-CR and will be available on the website of the fund (http://www.firstamericanfunds.com). In addition, the fund will make such announcements through a supplement to its prospectuses and may make such announcements through a press release or by other means.

 

Liquidity fees are designed to transfer the costs of liquidating fund securities from shareholders who remain in the fund to those who leave the fund during periods when liquidity is scarce. Liquidity fees imposed by a fund will reduce the amount you will receive upon the redemption of your shares, and each fund generally expects such fees will generally decrease the amount of any capital gain or increase the amount of any capital loss you will recognize with respect to such redemption. Proceeds to a fund from liquidity fees may take the form of a return to shareholders as a distribution.

 

Financial intermediaries will be required to promptly take such actions reasonably requested by a fund, the transfer agent or the adviser to implement, modify or remove, or to assist the fund in implementing, modifying or removing, a liquidity fee established by the fund.

Under certain circumstances, the fund may pay redemptions without adding a liquidity fee to the redemption amount if the fund can verify that the redemption or exchange order was submitted to the fund’s agent before the fund imposed liquidity fees. Once a liquidity fee is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a fund until the fee is terminated.

 

FAF-MM-PROZ

 

 

 

 

The adviser generally expects that a liquidity fee would be imposed, if at all, during periods of extraordinary market stress. The adviser generally expects that a liquidity fee would be imposed only after the fund has notified financial intermediaries and shareholders that a liquidity fee will be imposed.

 

Announcements regarding the imposition of liquidity fees, or the termination of liquidity fees, will be filed with the SEC on Form N-CR and will be available on the website of the fund (http://www.firstamericanfunds.com). In addition, the fund will make such announcements through a supplement to its prospectuses and may make such announcements through a press release or by other means.

 

Liquidity fees are designed to transfer the costs of liquidating fund securities from shareholders who remain in the fund to those who leave the fund during periods when liquidity is scarce. Liquidity fees imposed by a fund will reduce the amount you will receive upon the redemption of your shares, and each fund generally expects such fees will generally decrease the amount of any capital gain or increase the amount of any capital loss you will recognize with respect to such redemption. Proceeds to a fund from liquidity fees may take the form of a return to shareholders as a distribution.

 

Financial intermediaries will be required to promptly take such actions reasonably requested by a fund, the transfer agent or the adviser to implement, modify or remove, or to assist the fund in implementing, modifying or removing, a liquidity fee established by the fund.

This information supplements the First American Money Market Funds SAI dated December 22, 2023. Please retain this supplement for future reference.

 

 

 

The following replaces the last paragraph under the heading “Additional Restrictions” on page 4 of the SAI:

 

Rule 2a-7 requires, among other things, that each Fund may not invest, other than in U.S. “Government Securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act), more than 5% of its total assets in securities issued by the issuer of the security. Each Fund must comply with weekly liquidity standards that require a Fund to hold at least 50% of its total assets in cash, direct obligations of the U.S. Government, agency discount notes with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, or securities convertible into cash within five business days. Each Fund, other than Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, must also comply with daily liquidity standards that require a Fund to hold at least 25% of its total assets in cash, direct obligations of the U.S. Government, or securities convertible into cash within one business day. Each Fund is limited to investing no more than 5% of its total assets in illiquid securities.

 

The following replaces the second paragraph under the heading “Additional Information Concerning Fund Investments” on pages 4-5 of the SAI:

 

If a percentage limitation referred to in this SAI or in the Prospectuses is adhered to at the time of an investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from changes in values of assets will not constitute a violation of such limitation except in the case of the limitation on borrowing from banks.

The Governance Committee will consider shareholder recommendations for trustee nominees in the event there is a vacancy on the Board or in connection with any special shareholders meeting which is called for the purpose of electing trustees. FAF does not hold regularly scheduled annual shareholders meetings. There are no differences in the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates nominees for trustee based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder.

 

A shareholder who wishes to recommend a trustee nominee should submit his or her recommendation in writing to the Chair of the Board (Mr. Tompkins) or the Chair of the Governance Committee (Ms. McPeek), in either case at First American Funds, 800 Nicollet Mall, BC-MN-H04N, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402. At a minimum, the recommendation should include:

 

the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended;

the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation, together with the number of Fund shares held by such person and the period for which the shares have been held.

 

The recommendation also can include any additional information that the person submitting it believes would assist the Governance Committee in evaluating the recommendation. Shareholder recommendations for nominations to the Board will be accepted on an ongoing basis and will be kept on file for consideration when there is a vacancy on the Board or prior to a shareholders meeting called for the purpose of electing trustee.

The following replaces the information provided under the heading “Trustees and Executive Officers - Trustee Qualifications” on pages 19-20 of the SAI:

 

The Board has determined that each Trustee should serve as such based on several factors (none of which alone is decisive).

 

Among the factors the Board considered when concluding that an individual should serve on the Board were the following: (i) the individual’s business and professional experience and accomplishments; (ii) the individual’s ability to work effectively with other members of the Board; (iii) the individual’s prior experience, if any, serving on the boards of public companies and other complex enterprises and organizations; and (iv) how the individual’s skills, experiences and attributes would contribute to an appropriate mix of relevant skills, diversity and experience on the Board. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse qualifications, skills, experiences, and attributes, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the Funds and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific qualifications, skills, experiences, and attributes of each Trustee, which in each case contributed to the Board’s conclusion that the Trustee should serve as a trustee of the Funds, is provided in the “Independent Trustees” table above.
