RISK/RETURN SUMMARY: INVESTMENTS, RISKS and PERFORMANCE
What are the Fund's Main Investment Strategies?
The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of Treasury and government securities maturing in 397 days or less. These investments include repurchase agreements collateralized fully by Treasury and government securities.
Certain of the government securities in which the Fund invests are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in government securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Finally, the Fund may invest in a few government securities that are issued by entities whose activities are sponsored by the federal government, but that have no explicit financial support.
In pursuing its investment objective and implementing its investment strategies, the Fund will comply with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which governs money market funds (“Rule 2a-7”).

What are the Main Risks of Investing in the Fund?
All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable NAV, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may negatively impact the Fund's ability to maintain a stable NAV, delay the payment of redemptions by the Fund, or reduce the Fund's daily dividends include:
■  Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities generally fall when interest rates rise. Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed-income securities with longer maturities.
■  Risk Related to the Economy. The value of the Fund's portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in one or more markets in which the Fund invests. Economic, political and financial conditions may cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, shareholder redemptions or other potentially adverse effects.
■  Issuer Credit Risk. It is possible that interest or principal on securities will not be paid when due. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing higher-quality securities.
■  Counterparty Credit Risk. A party to a transaction involving the Fund may fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose money or to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategies.
■  Call Risk. The Fund's performance may be adversely affected by the possibility that an issuer of a security held by the Fund may redeem the security prior to maturity at a price below its current market value.
■  Risk Associated with Investing Share Purchase Proceeds. On days during which there are net purchases of Fund Shares, the Fund must invest the proceeds at prevailing market yields or hold cash. If the Fund holds cash, or if the yield of the securities purchased is less than that of the securities already in the portfolio, the Fund's yield will likely decrease. Conversely, net purchases on days on which short-term yields rise will likely cause the Fund's yield to increase. In the event of significant changes in short-term yields or significant net purchases, the Fund retains the discretion to close to new investments. However, the Fund is not required to close, and no assurance can be given that this will be done in any given circumstance.
■  Risk Associated with use of Amortized Cost. In the unlikely event that the Fund's Board of Trustees (“Board”) were to determine, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, that the extent of the deviation between the Fund's amortized cost per Share and its market-based NAV per Share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Board will cause the Fund to take such action as it deems appropriate to eliminate or reduce to the extent practicable such dilution or unfair results.
■  Additional Factors Affecting Yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide a certain level of income or that any such income will exceed the rate of inflation. Further, the Fund's yield will vary.
■  Regulatory Reform Risk. Changes in the laws and regulations applicable to and governing money market funds, such as Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), can impact the Fund. On July 23, 2014, the SEC voted to amend Rule 2a-7 and other rules and forms related to money market funds. These amendments may affect the manner in which the Fund is structured and operated, as well as the Fund's expenses and returns. Compliance with many of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the amendments. U.S. government money market funds are exempt from a number of the changes required by these amendments. As a result of these amendments, the Fund may be required to take certain steps that impact the Fund and the precise nature of such impact has not yet been determined.
■  Technology Risk. The Fund's investment adviser (Passport Research, Ltd., the “Adviser”) uses various technologies in managing the Fund, consistent with its investment objective and strategy described in this Prospectus. For example, proprietary and third-party data and systems are utilized to support decision-making for the Fund. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems, which may negatively affect Fund performance.
The Shares offered by this Prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

What are the Fund's Investment Strategies?
While there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, it endeavors to do so by following the strategies and policies described in this Prospectus.
The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of Treasury and government securities maturing in 397 days or less. These investments include repurchase agreements collateralized fully by Treasury and government securities.
The Fund's Adviser targets a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity (DWAM) range based upon its interest rate outlook. The Adviser formulates its interest rate outlook by analyzing a variety of factors, such as:
■  current U.S. economic activity and the economic outlook;
■  current short-term interest rates;
■  the Federal Reserve Board's policies regarding short-term interest rates; and
■  the potential effects of foreign economic activity on U.S. short-term interest rates.
The Adviser generally shortens the portfolio's DWAM when it expects interest rates to rise and extends the DWAM when it expects interest rates to fall. This strategy seeks to enhance the returns from favorable interest rate changes and reduce the effect of unfavorable changes. The Adviser selects securities used to shorten or extend the portfolio's DWAM by comparing the returns currently offered by such securities to their historical and expected returns.
The Fund will: (1) maintain a DWAM of 60 days or less; and (2) maintain a weighted average life (WAL) of 120 days or less. Certain of the securities in which the Fund invests may pay interest at a rate that is periodically adjusted (“Adjustable Rate Securities”). For purposes of calculating DWAM, the maturity of an Adjustable Rate Security generally will be the period remaining until its next interest rate adjustment. For purposes of calculating WAL, the maturity of an Adjustable Rate Security will be its stated final maturity, without regard to interest rate adjustments; accordingly, the 120-day WAL limitation could serve to limit the Fund's ability to invest in Adjustable Rate Securities.
TEMPORARY CASH POSITIONS
The Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by holding cash. It may do this in response to unusual circumstances, such as: adverse market, economic or other conditions (for example, during periods when there is a shortage of appropriate securities); to maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions; or to accommodate cash inflows. Such temporary cash positions could affect the Fund's investment returns and/or the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
What are the Fund's Principal Investments?
The following provides general information on the Fund's principal investments. The Fund's Statement of Additional Information (SAI) provides information about the Fund's non-principal investments and may provide additional information about the Fund's principal investments.
Fixed-Income Securities
Fixed-income securities pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or may be adjusted periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed-income security must repay the principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed-income securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the returns on fixed-income securities are limited and normally do not increase with the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed-income securities as compared to equity securities.
A security's yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a percentage of its price. A security's yield will increase or decrease depending upon whether it costs less (a “discount”) or more (a “premium”) than the principal amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the price and yield on a discount or premium security may change based upon the probability of an early redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have higher yields.
The following describes the fixed-income securities in which the Fund principally invests:
Treasury Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)
Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States.
Government Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)
Government securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or instrumentality acting under federal authority. Some government securities, including those issued by Ginnie Mae, are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States and are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal.
4

Other government securities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example, the U.S. Treasury is authorized to purchase specified amounts of securities issued by (or otherwise make funds available to) the Federal Home Loan Bank System, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in support of such obligations.
Some government agency securities have no explicit financial support and are supported only by the credit of the applicable agency, instrumentality or corporation. The U.S. government has provided financial support to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, but there is no assurance that it will support these or other agencies in the future.
Callable Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)
Certain Treasury or government securities in which the Fund invests are callable at the option of the issuer. Callable securities are subject to call risk.
OTHER INVESTMENTS, TRANSACTIONS, TECHNIQUES
Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed-upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund's return on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest rate on the underlying security. The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.
The Fund's custodian or sub-custodian will take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements. The Adviser or sub-custodian will monitor the value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risk.
What are the Specific Risks of Investing in the Fund?
The following provides general information on the risks associated with the Fund's principal investments. These are the primary factors that may negatively impact the Fund's ability to maintain a stable NAV, delay the payment of redemptions by the Fund or reduce the Fund's daily dividends. Any additional risks associated with the Fund's non-principal investments are described in the Fund's SAI. The Fund's SAI also may provide additional information about the risks associated with the Fund's principal investments.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Prices of fixed-income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed-income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the demand for particular fixed-income securities, may cause the price of certain fixed-income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or remain unchanged.
Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed-income securities with longer maturities. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing short-term securities.
Risk Related to the Economy
The value of the Fund's portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in one or more markets in which the Fund invests based on negative developments in the U.S. and global economies. Economic, political and financial conditions may cause volatility, illiquidity or other potentially adverse effects in the financial markets, including the fixed-income market. The commencement, continuation or ending of government policies and economic stimulus programs, changes in money policy, increases or decreases in interest rates, or other factors or events that affect the financial markets, including the fixed-income markets, may contribute to the development of or increase in volatility, illiquidity, shareholder redemptions and other factors which could negatively impact the Fund's performance.
ISSUER Credit Risk
It is possible that interest or principal on securities will not be paid when due. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing higher-quality securities.
Many fixed-income securities receive credit ratings from nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) such as Fitch Rating Service, Moody's Investor Services, Inc., and Standard & Poor's that assign ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of an issuer and/or guarantor default. Higher credit ratings correspond to lower perceived credit risk and lower credit ratings correspond to higher perceived credit risk. Credit ratings may be upgraded or downgraded from time to time as an NRSRO's assessment of the financial condition of a party obligated to make payments with respect to such securities and credit risk changes. The impact of any credit rating downgrade can be uncertain. Credit rating
5

downgrades may lead to increased interest rates and volatility in financial markets, which in turn could negatively affect the value of the Fund's portfolio holdings, its share price and its investment performance. Credit ratings are not a guarantee of quality. Credit ratings may lag behind the current financial conditions of the issuer and/or guarantor and do not provide assurance against default or other loss of money. Credit ratings do not protect against a decline in the value of a security. If a security has not received a rating, the Fund must rely entirely upon the Adviser's credit assessment.
Fixed-income securities generally compensate for greater credit risk by paying interest at a higher rate. The difference between the yield of a security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security or other appropriate benchmark with a comparable maturity (the “spread”) measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may increase generally in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A security's spread may also increase if the security's rating is lowered, or the security is perceived to have an increased credit risk. An increase in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline if interest rates remain unchanged.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
A party to a transaction involving the Fund may fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose money or to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategies.
CALL RISK
Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a Treasury or government security before maturity (a “call”) at a price below its current market price. An increase in the likelihood of a call may reduce the security's price. If a Treasury or government security is called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in other fixed-income securities with lower interest rates, higher credit risks or other less favorable characteristics.
Risk Associated with Investing Share Purchase Proceeds
On days during which there are net purchases of Fund Shares, the Fund must invest the proceeds at prevailing market yields or hold cash. If the Fund holds cash, or if the yield of the securities purchased is less than that of the securities already in the portfolio, the Fund's yield will likely decrease. Conversely, net purchases on days on which short-term yields rise will cause the Fund's yield to increase. The larger the amount that must be invested or the greater the difference between the yield of the securities purchased and the yield of the existing investments, the greater the impact will be on the yield of the Fund. In the event of significant changes in short-term yields or significant net purchases, the Fund retains the discretion to close to new investments. However, the Fund is not required to close, and no assurance can be given that this will be done in any given circumstance.
RISK ASSOCIATED WITH USE OF AMORTIZED COST
In the unlikely event that the Fund's Board were to determine, pursuant to Rule 2a-7 which governs money market funds, that the extent of the deviation between the Fund's amortized cost per Share and its market-based NAV per Share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Board will cause the Fund to take such action as it deems appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent practicable, such dilution or unfair results, including, but not limited to, considering suspending redemption of Shares and liquidating the Fund under Rule 22e-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
ADDITIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING YIELD
There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide a certain level of income or that any such income will exceed the rate of inflation. Further, the Fund's yield will vary. A low interest rate environment may prevent the Fund from providing a positive yield or paying Fund expenses out of current income and could impair the Fund's ability to maintain a stable NAV. The Fund's yield could also be negatively affected (both in absolute terms and as compared to other money market funds) by aspects of its investment program (for example, its investment policies, strategies or limitations) or its operational policies (for example, its cut-off time for purchases and redemptions of Shares).
Regulatory Reform Risk
Changes in the laws and regulations applicable to and governing money market funds, such as Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, can impact the Fund. On July 23, 2014, the SEC voted to amend Rule 2a-7 and other rules and forms related to money market funds. These amendments may affect the manner in which the Fund is structured and operated, as well as the Fund's expenses and returns. Compliance with many of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the amendments. U.S. government money market funds are exempt from a number of the changes required by these amendments. As a result of these amendments, the Fund may be required to take certain steps that impact the Fund and the precise nature of such impact has not yet been determined.
6

technology Risk
The Adviser uses various technologies in managing the Fund, consistent with its investment objective and strategy described in this Prospectus. For example, proprietary and third-party data and systems are utilized to support decision-making for the Fund. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems, which may negatively affect Fund performance.
What Do Shares Cost?
CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The Fund attempts to stabilize the NAV of its Shares at $1.00 by valuing the portfolio securities using the amortized cost method. In addition, for regulatory purposes, the Fund calculates a market-based NAV per Share on a periodic basis. The Fund cannot guarantee that its NAV will always remain at $1.00 per Share. The Fund does not charge a front-end sales charge.
You can purchase, redeem or exchange Shares any day the NYSE is open (a “Regular Business Day”). You may also be able to purchase and redeem (but not exchange) Shares on certain days that the NYSE is closed on an unscheduled basis due to unforeseen or emergency circumstances, if the Fund's Board determines to allow Fund Share transactions on such days (a “Special Trading Day”). If the Fund declares a Special Trading Day, information regarding shareholder trading activities for the Special Trading Day (such as when NAV, and entitlement to that day's dividend, will be determined) will be available by calling the Fund at 1-800-341-7400 and will be posted on Federated's website at FederatedInvestors.com. The information set forth in this Prospectus regarding times relevant to NAV determination and dividend entitlement applies only to Regular Business Days.
When the Fund receives your transaction request in proper form (as described in this Prospectus), it is processed at the next determined NAV. NAV is determined at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and as of the end of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open. The times as of when NAV is determined, and when orders must be placed, may be changed as permitted by the SEC.
linking a money market fund to a brokerage account
Your investment in the Fund will be linked to your Edward Jones account. Free credit balances in your Edward Jones account will automatically sweep into the Fund unless you elect otherwise.
How is the Fund Sold?
The Fund offers two Share classes: Investment Shares and Retirement Shares, each representing interests in a single portfolio of securities.
The Fund's Distributor, Federated Securities Corp., markets the Shares described in this Prospectus exclusively through Edward Jones to its customers. The Fund is sold largely as a “sweep” investment for otherwise uninvested cash in customers' brokerage accounts.
The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (“Federated”).
Payments to Edward Jones
The Fund and its affiliated service providers may pay fees as described below to Edward Jones. See also “Who Manages the Fund?” and “Additional Payments to Edward Jones” below.
service FEES
The Fund may pay Service Fees of up to 0.25% of average net assets to Edward Jones or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC), a subsidiary of Federated, for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. A company affiliated with management of Federated may also receive Service Fees.
RECORDKEEPING FEES
The Fund may pay Recordkeeping Fees on an average-net-assets basis or on a per-account-per-year basis to Edward Jones for providing recordkeeping services to the Fund and its shareholders. If Edward Jones receives Recordkeeping Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Networking Fees on that same account.
NETWORKING FEES
The Fund may reimburse Networking Fees on a per-account-per-year basis to Edward Jones for providing administrative services to the Fund and its shareholders on certain non-omnibus accounts. If Edward Jones receives Networking Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Recordkeeping Fees on that same account.

How to Purchase Shares
You may purchase Shares by check, wire or electronic funds transfer. Fund Shares purchased before 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) earn dividends that day. Payment should be made in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank. The Fund reserves the right to reject any request to purchase Shares.
BY CHECK
When payment is made by check, the order is considered received after the check is converted into federal funds by Edward Jones. This is normally within three business days of receiving the check. If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the Fund incurs. Checks originally payable to someone other than you or Edward Jones (third-party checks) are not accepted.
To purchase Shares by check:
■  sign the Account Authorization and Acknowledgement Form;
■  enclose a check made payable to Edward Jones; and
■  deliver or send the check and any completed forms to your local Edward Jones office with instructions that it be invested in the Fund.
BY WIRE
When payment is made by wire with federal funds, the order is considered received within one business day.
Shares may be purchased with federal funds sent by Federal Reserve or bank wire. This method results in a more rapid investment in Fund Shares. Contact your Edward Jones financial advisor before wiring any funds. You cannot purchase Shares by wire on holidays when wire transfers are restricted, even if the NYSE is open on such days (for example, Columbus Day and Veterans Day). Wire purchase requests on such days are not considered to be in proper form, and will not be processed until the following business day.
BY electronic funds transfer
Once you have opened an account, you may purchase additional Shares through an electronic transfer of money from a bank account. To establish an electronic bank transfer, you must complete the applicable form. Call your Edward Jones financial advisor for further information on this purchase option.
RETIREMENT INVESTMENTS
You may purchase Retirement Shares only in retirement accounts. You may also purchase Investment Shares in a retirement account. Call your Edward Jones financial advisor for information on retirement investments.

The checkwriting privilege may be discontinued at any time. For further information, including checkwriting requirements, contact your Edward Jones financial advisor.
by debit card
You may request a debit card that allows you to redeem Investment Shares. The debit card privilege may be discontinued at any time. For further information, including debit card requirements, contact your Edward Jones financial advisor.
by online
If you have an Edward Jones account and have signed up for online access, you may redeem Shares online. If you use this option, redemption proceeds may be either: (i) transferred to any eligible Edward Jones account; or (ii) transferred to an eligible checking or savings account. Online redemptions may be subject to certain limits. Please contact your Edward Jones financial advisor for additional information.
Redemption In-Kind
Although the Fund intends to pay Share redemptions in cash, it reserves the right to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution of the Fund's portfolio securities.
REDEMPTIONS FROM RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
In the absence of your specific instructions, 10% of the value of your redemption from a retirement account may be withheld for taxes; and 20% of the value of your redemption from an ERISA-qualified plan may be withheld for taxes. This withholding only applies to certain types of retirement accounts.
LIMITATIONS ON REDEMPTION PROCEEDS
Redemption proceeds normally are wired or mailed within one business day after receiving a request in proper form. Payment may be delayed for up to seven days:
■  to allow your purchase to clear (as discussed below);
■  during periods of market volatility;
■  when a shareholder's trade activity or amount adversely impacts the Fund's ability to manage its assets; or
■  during any period when the Federal Reserve wire or applicable Federal Reserve banks are closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings.
Any attempt to redeem Shares through checkwriting or debit card before the purchase instrument has cleared will be automatically rejected.
In addition, the right of redemption may be suspended, or the payment of proceeds may be delayed, during any period:
■  when the NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings;
■  when trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by the SEC;
■  in which an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, so that disposal of the Fund's investments or determination of its NAV is not reasonably practicable; or
■  in which there are emergency conditions including liquidation of the Fund as provided in Section 22(e), and rules thereunder, of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
You will not accrue interest or dividends on uncashed redemption checks from the Fund if those checks are undeliverable and returned to the Fund.
Share Certificates
The Fund does not issue share certificates.

Account and Share Information
ACCOUNT ACTIVITY
You will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including dividends and capital gains paid. Your method of payment for the purchase of Shares will determine when you begin earning dividends, in accordance with Edward Jones' policies on Availability of Funds. You will earn dividends through the day your redemption request is received, if such request is received after 2:00 p.m. ET.
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS
The Fund declares any dividends daily and pays them monthly to shareholders.
From time to time, the Fund may realize capital gains or losses. If capital gains or losses were to occur, they could result in an increase or decrease in dividends. The Fund pays any capital gains at least annually and may make such special distributions of dividends and capital gains as may be necessary to meet applicable regulatory requirements. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares without a sales charge.
ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES
Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low account balances, you must maintain a $2,500 average monthly balance in Investment Shares, or Edward Jones, in its capacity as the Fund's transfer agent, may charge you a $3.00 fee for that month. If you own Retirement Shares through an IRA, you must maintain a $1,500 average monthly balance, or the $3.00 fee may apply. Certain accounts may not be subject to the average monthly balance requirement pursuant to Edward Jones' policies. Please contact your Edward Jones financial advisor for additional information.
TAX INFORMATION
Edward Jones sends an IRS Form 1099 and an annual statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund. Dividends are taxable at different rates depending upon the source of dividend income. Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains regardless of how long you have owned your shares.
Fund distributions are expected to be primarily dividends. Redemptions are taxable sales. Please consult your tax adviser regarding your federal, state and local tax liability.
FREQUENT TRADING POLICIES
Given the short-term nature of the Fund's investments and its use of the amortized cost method for calculating the NAV of Fund Shares, the Fund does not anticipate that in the normal case frequent or short-term trading into and out of the Fund will have significant adverse consequences for the Fund and its shareholders. For this reason and because the Fund is intended to be used as a liquid short-term investment, the Fund's Board has not adopted policies or procedures to monitor or discourage frequent or short-term trading of the Fund's Shares. Regardless of their frequency or short-term nature, purchases and redemptions of Fund Shares can have adverse effects on the management of the Fund's portfolio and its performance.
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION
Information concerning the Fund's portfolio holdings is available at www.edwardjones.com/moneymarket. A complete listing of the Fund's portfolio holdings as well as the Fund's DWAM and WAL as of the end of each month is posted on the website five business days after the end of each month and remains posted on the website for six months thereafter.

Who Manages the Fund?
The Board governs the Fund. The Board selects and oversees the Adviser. The Adviser, which was organized as a Pennsylvania limited partnership on May 21, 1981, is a joint venture between Federated and Edward Jones. Federated Investment Management Company is the general partner of the Adviser and owns a 50.5% general partner interest in the Adviser. Edward Jones is the limited partner of the Adviser and owns a 49.5% limited partner interest in the Adviser. Edward Jones is organized as a Missouri limited partnership. Edward Jones is a large broker-dealer and financial services firm with approximately 11,555 offices spread across all 50 states in the United States, and approximately 579 locations in Canada.
The Adviser and other subsidiaries of Federated advise approximately 131 equity, fixed-income and money market mutual funds as well as a variety of other pooled investment vehicles, private investment companies, and customized separately managed accounts (including non-U.S./offshore fund), which totaled approximately $362.9 billion in assets as of December 31, 2014. Federated was established in 1955 and is one of the largest investment managers in the United States with approximately 1,400 employees. Federated provides investment products to over 7,700 investment professionals and institutions.
The Adviser manages the Fund's assets, including buying and selling portfolio securities. The address of the Adviser is Federated Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779.
Passport Research, Ltd., the Adviser, is a Pennsylvania limited partnership. Its general partner is Federated Investment Management Company, a wholly owned investment advisory subsidiary of Federated, with a 50.5% interest. Its limited partner is Edward D. Jones & Co. L.P., with a 49.5% interest. The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the Fund. The partners in the Adviser allocate the expenses and revenues of the partnership according to a mutually agreed-upon formula. Last year, the general and limited partners received no partnership distributions. The allocation of expenses and revenues of the partnership may vary depending upon total assets in the Fund or other factors. The Fund pays Service Fees up to 0.25% of average net assets to Edward Jones for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Edward Jones provides shareholder services, transfer agent services and marketing services to the Fund and the 852,626 accounts (Investment Shares) and 803,308 accounts (Retirement Shares) that its clients maintain in the Fund. During the Fund's last fiscal year, Edward Jones received approximately $9.0 million in net total fees (approximately 71% of total Fund net expenses) for its services. Edward Jones would have received $6.39 in total fees and payments with respect to a shareholder maintaining an investment of $10,000 in Investment Shares or $6.39 with respect to a shareholder maintaining an investment of $10,000 in Retirement Shares during that year.
The Adviser advises two money market mutual funds, which totaled approximately $18.5 billion in assets as of December 31, 2014.
Additional Payments to Edward Jones
The Distributor may make payments out of its own resources to Edward Jones to support the sale of shares or for services provided to certain funds distributed by the Distributor and their respective shareholders, except that Edward Jones does not receive these payments with respect to the Fund. The amount of these payments could be significant. These payments are negotiated and may be based on such factors as: the number or value of shares that Edward Jones sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; the level and types of support furnished by Edward Jones; or the Fund's and/or other Federated funds' relationship with Edward Jones. These payments are in addition to payments made by the Fund, or other funds distributed by the Distributor, to Edward Jones under a services fee or other services arrangement. In some cases, such payments may be made by or funded from the resources of companies affiliated with the Distributor. Such payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table section of the Prospectus of the Fund or those of other funds distributed by the Distributor because they are not paid by the Fund or such other funds. The income received by Edward Jones with respect to funds distributed by the Distributor may create an incentive for Edward Jones or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell shares of such funds to you. More information regarding payments to Edward Jones can be found in the Statement of Additional Information.

Appendix A: Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
The following charts provide additional hypothetical information about the effect of the Fund's expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund's assumed returns over a 10-year period. Each chart shows the estimated expenses that would be incurred in respect of a hypothetical investment of $10,000, assuming a 5% return each year, and no redemption of Shares. Each chart also assumes that the Fund's annual expense ratio stays the same throughout the 10-year period and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. The annual expense ratios used in each chart are the same as stated in the “Fees and Expenses” table of this Prospectus (and thus may not reflect any fee waiver or expense reimbursement currently in effect). The maximum amount of any sales charge that might be imposed on the purchase of Shares (and deducted from the hypothetical initial investment of $10,000; the “Front-End Sales Charge”) is reflected in the “Hypothetical Expenses” column. The hypothetical investment information does not reflect the effect of charges (if any) normally applicable to redemptions of Shares (e.g., deferred sales charges, redemption fees). Mutual fund returns, as well as fees and expenses, may fluctuate over time, and your actual investment returns and total expenses may be higher or lower than those shown below.

Edward Jones Money Market Fund

This Statement of Additional Information (SAI) is not a Prospectus. Read this SAI in conjunction with the Prospectus for Edward Jones Money Market Fund (“Fund”), dated April 30, 2015.
This SAI incorporates by reference the Fund's Annual Report. Obtain the Prospectus or the Annual Report without charge by contacting your Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (Edward Jones) financial advisor.


How is the Fund Organized?
The Fund is a diversified open-end, management investment company that was established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on January 9, 1980. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has established two classes of shares of the Fund, known as Investment Shares and Retirement Shares (“Shares”). This SAI relates to both classes of Shares. The Fund's investment adviser is Passport Research, Ltd. (“Adviser”). The Adviser is a limited partnership, jointly owned by Edward Jones and a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc.
Securities in Which the Fund Invests
The Fund is permitted to invest in any high-quality money market instrument. The principal securities or other investments in which the Fund invests are described in the Fund's Prospectus. The Fund also may invest in securities or other investments as non-principal investments for any purpose that is consistent with its investment objective.
However, the Fund presently limits its investments to the Treasury securities and government securities described in the Prospectus and this SAI; repurchase agreements collateralized by Treasury securities and government securities; and/or securities credit enhanced by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The purpose of this policy is to minimize credit risk associated with the Fund's investments. This policy may be changed at the discretion of the Board.
The following information is either additional information in respect of a principal security or other investment referenced in the Prospectus or information with respect of a non-principal security or other investment (in which case there is no related disclosure in the Prospectus).
Securities Descriptions and Techniques
Fixed-Income Securities
Fixed-income securities pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed-income security must repay the principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed-income securities provide more regular income streams than equity securities. However, the returns on fixed-income securities are limited and normally do not increase with the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed-income securities as compared to equity securities.
A security's yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a percentage of its price. A security's yield will increase or decrease depending upon whether it costs less (a “discount”) or more (a “premium”) than the principal amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the price and yield on a discount or premium security may change based upon the probability of an early redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have higher yields.
Government Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)
Government securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or instrumentality acting under federal authority. Some government securities, including those issued by Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, and are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal.
Other government securities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example, the U.S. Treasury is authorized to purchase specified amounts of securities issued by (or otherwise make funds available to) the Federal Home Loan Bank System, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Tennessee Valley Authority in support of such obligations.
Some government agency securities have no explicit financial support and are supported only by credit of applicable agency, instrumentality or corporation. The U.S. government has provided financial support to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, but there is no assurance that it will support these or other agencies in the future.
Investors regard government securities as having minimal credit risk, but not as low as Treasury securities.
Additional Information Related to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The extreme and unprecedented volatility and disruption that impacted the capital and credit markets beginning in 2008 led to market concerns regarding the ability of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to withstand future credit losses associated with securities held in their investment portfolios, and on which they provide guarantees, without the direct support of the federal government. On September 7, 2008, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were placed under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Under the plan of conservatorship, the FHFA assumed control of, and generally has the power to direct, the operations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and is empowered to exercise all powers collectively held by their respective shareholders, directors and officers, including the power to: (1) take over the assets of and operate Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae with all the powers of the shareholders, the directors and the officers of
1

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and conduct all business of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae; (2) collect all obligations and money due to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae; (3) perform all functions of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae which are consistent with the conservator's appointment; (4) preserve and conserve the assets and property of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae; and (5) contract for assistance in fulfilling any function, activity, action or duty of the conservator.
In connection with the actions taken by the FHFA, the Treasury has entered into certain preferred stock purchase agreements (SPAs) with each of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae which establish the Treasury as the holder of a new class of senior preferred stock in each of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The senior preferred stock was issued in connection with financial contributions from the Treasury to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Although the SPAs are subject to amendment from time to time, currently the Treasury is obligated to provide such financial contributions up to an aggregate maximum amount determined by a formula set forth in the SPAs, and until such aggregate maximum amount is reached, there is not a specific end date to the Treasury's obligations.
The future status and role of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae could be impacted by (among other things) the actions taken and restrictions placed on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae by the FHFA in its role as conservator, the restrictions placed on Freddie Mac's and Fannie Mae's operations and activities under the SPAs, market responses to developments in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, downgrades or upgrades in the credit ratings assigned to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) or ratings services, and future legislative and regulatory action that alters the operations, ownership, structure and/or mission of these institutions, each of which may, in turn, impact the value of, and cash flows on, any securities guaranteed by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
In addition, the future of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and other U.S. government-sponsored enterprises that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (GSEs), is in serious question as the U.S. government is considering options ranging from significant reform, nationalization, privatization or consolidation, to outright elimination. The issues that have led to significant U.S. government support for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have sparked serious debate regarding the continued role of the U.S. government in providing mortgage loan liquidity. Congress is considering legislation that would reform the GSEs and possibly wind down their existence, progressively decreasing portfolio limits and increasing guarantee fees, among other issues.
Corporate Debt Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)
Corporate debt securities are fixed-income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities. The Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to companies.
Commercial Paper (A Type of Corporate Debt Security)
Commercial paper is an issuer's obligation with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer cannot continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper may default.
Demand Instruments (A Type of Corporate Debt Security)
Demand instruments are corporate securities that require the issuer or a third party, such as a dealer or bank (the “Demand Provider”), to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. Some demand instruments are “conditional,” so that the occurrence of certain conditions relieves the Demand Provider of its obligation to repurchase the security. Other demand instruments are “unconditional,” so that there are no conditions under which the Demand Provider's obligation to repurchase the security can terminate. The Fund treats demand instruments as short-term securities, even though their stated maturity may extend beyond one year.
Bank Instruments (A Fixed-Income Security)
Bank instruments are unsecured, interest-bearing deposits with banks. Bank instruments include, but are not limited to, bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of deposit and banker's acceptances. Yankee instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S. branches of foreign banks. Eurodollar instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks.
For purposes of applying the Fund's concentration limitation, bank instruments also include fixed-income securities credit enhanced by a bank.
Asset-Backed Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)
Asset-backed securities are payable from pools of obligations other than mortgages. Most asset-backed securities involve consumer or commercial debts with maturities of less than 10 years. However, almost any type of fixed-income asset (including other fixed-income securities) may be used to create an asset-backed security. Asset-backed securities may take the form of commercial paper, notes or pass-through certificates. Asset-backed securities have prepayment risks.
2

Zero-Coupon Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)
Certain fixed-income securities in which the Fund invests are zero-coupon securities. Zero-coupon securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity, unlike debt securities that provide periodic payments of interest (referred to as a coupon payment). Investors buy zero-coupon securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the amount paid at maturity represents interest on the zero-coupon security. Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which increases the interest rate and credit risk of a zero-coupon security.
Municipal Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)
Municipal securities are issued by states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities. Although many municipal securities are exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest in taxable municipal securities.
Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) (A Fixed-Income Security)
An MBS is a type of pass-through security, which is a pooled debt obligation repackaged as interests that pass principal and interest through an intermediary to investors. In the case of MBS, the ownership interest is issued by a trust and represents participation interests in pools of adjustable and fixed-rate mortgage loans. MBS are most commonly issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government (or one of its agencies or instrumentalities). Unlike conventional debt obligations, MBS provide monthly payments derived from the monthly interest and principal payments (including any prepayments) made by the individual borrowers on the pooled mortgage loans. Most MBS make these payments monthly; however, certain MBS are backed by mortgage loans which do not generate monthly payments but rather generate payments less frequently.
Investments in MBS expose the Fund to interest rate, prepayment and credit risks.
Insurance Contracts (A Fixed-Income Security)
Insurance contracts include guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements and annuities. Insurance contracts generally provide that the purchaser will deposit money with the insurance company and the insurance company will pay interest for the life of the contract and return the principal at maturity. The Fund treats these contracts as fixed-income securities.
Credit Enhancement
The Fund may invest in securities that have credit enhancement. Credit enhancement consists of an arrangement in which an entity agrees to pay amounts due on a fixed-income security if the issuer defaults. In some cases the entity providing credit enhancement makes all payments directly to the security holders and receives reimbursement from the issuer. Normally, the entity providing the credit enhancement has greater financial resources and liquidity than the issuer. For this reason, the Adviser may evaluate the credit risk of a fixed-income security based solely upon its credit enhancement.
Common types of credit enhancement include guarantees, letters of credit, bond insurance and surety bonds. Credit enhancement also includes arrangements where securities or other liquid assets secure payment of a fixed-income security. If a default occurs, these assets may be sold and the proceeds paid to the security's holders. Either form of credit enhancement reduces credit risks by providing another source of payment for a fixed-income security. In addition, credit enhancement includes agreements to lend to the issuer amounts sufficient to repay or purchase the securities, provided that the Adviser has determined that the loan commitment will be available except under remote circumstances.
Foreign Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)
Foreign securities are securities of issuers based outside the United States. The Fund considers an issuer to be based outside the United States if:
■  it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office located in, another country;
■  the principal trading market for its securities is in another country; or
■  it (directly or through its consolidated subsidiaries) derived in its most current fiscal year at least 50% of its total assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit from goods produced, services performed or sales made in another country.
Along with the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same type, foreign securities are subject to risks of foreign investing which will be outlined in the section titled “Risk of Foreign Investing.”
Other Investments, Transactions, Techniques
Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed-upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund's return on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest rate on the underlying security. The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.
3

The Fund's custodian or sub-custodian will take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements. The Adviser or sub-custodian will monitor the value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risk.
Inter-Fund Borrowing and Lending Arrangements
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted an exemption that permits the Fund and all other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc. (“Federated funds”) to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other Federated funds. Participation in this inter-fund lending program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending Federated funds, and an inter-fund loan is only made if it benefits each participating Federated fund. Federated Investors, Inc. (“Federated”) administers the program according to procedures approved by the Fund's Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. Any inter-fund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemption, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating Federated funds.
For example, inter-fund lending is permitted only: (a) to meet shareholder redemption requests; (b) to meet commitments arising from “failed” trades; and (c) for other temporary purposes. All inter-fund loans must be repaid in seven days or less. The Fund's participation in this program must be consistent with its investment policies and limitations, and must meet certain percentage tests. Inter-fund loans may be made only when the rate of interest to be charged is more attractive to the lending Federated fund than market-competitive rates on overnight repurchase agreements (“Repo Rate”) and more attractive to the borrowing Federated fund than the rate of interest that would be charged by an unaffiliated bank for short-term borrowings (“Bank Loan Rate”), as determined by the Board. The interest rate imposed on inter-fund loans is the average of the Repo Rate and the Bank Loan Rate.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Reverse repurchase agreements are repurchase agreements in which the Fund is the seller (rather than the buyer) of the securities, and agrees to repurchase them at an agreed-upon time and price. A reverse repurchase agreement may be viewed as a type of borrowing by the Fund. Reverse repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements create leverage risks because the Fund must repurchase the underlying security at a higher price, regardless of the market value of the security at the time of repurchase.
Delayed Delivery Transactions
Delayed delivery transactions, including when-issued transactions, are arrangements in which the Fund buys securities for a set price, with payment and delivery of the securities scheduled for a future time. During the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Fund. The Fund records the transaction when it agrees to buy the securities and reflects their value in determining the price of its shares. Settlement dates may be a month or more after entering into these transactions so that the market values of the securities bought may vary from the purchase prices. Therefore, delayed delivery transactions create interest rate risks for the Fund. Delayed delivery transactions also involve credit risks in the event of a counterparty default.
Asset Segregation
In order to secure its obligations in connection with special transactions, the Fund will either enter into offsetting transactions or set aside readily marketable securities. Unless the Fund has other readily marketable assets to set aside, it cannot trade assets used to secure such obligations without terminating a special transaction. This may cause the Fund to miss favorable trading opportunities or to realize losses on special transactions.
Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies
The Fund may invest its assets in shares of other investment companies as an efficient means of implementing its investment strategies and/or managing its uninvested cash. These investments may include: shares of an affiliated money market fund; or preferred shares of a closed-end fund that are eligible for purchase by money market funds (generally, because such preferred shares are structured as unconditional demand instruments with a third-party Demand Provider). Other investment companies are managed independently of the Fund and incur additional fees and/or expenses which would, therefore, be borne indirectly by the Fund in connection with any such investment. However, the Adviser believes that the benefits and efficiencies of this approach should outweigh the potential additional fees and/or expenses.

Investment Risks
There are many risk factors which may affect an investment in the Fund. The Fund's principal risks are described in its Prospectus. The following information is either additional information with respect to a principal risk factor referenced in the Prospectus or information with respect to a non-principal risk factor applicable to the Fund (in which case there is no related disclosure in the Prospectus).
Leverage Risk
Leverage risk is created when an investment exposes the Fund to a level of risk that exceeds the amount invested. Changes in the value of such an investment magnify the Fund's risk of loss and potential for gain.
Risk of Foreign Investing
Foreign securities pose additional risks because foreign economic or political conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States. Securities in foreign markets may also be subject to taxation policies that reduce returns for U.S. investors.
Prepayment Risk
Unlike traditional fixed-income securities, which pay a fixed rate of interest until maturity (when the entire principal amount is due) payments on government mortgage-backed securities include both interest and a partial payment of principal. Partial payment of principal may be comprised of scheduled principal payments as well as unscheduled payments from the voluntary prepayment, refinancing or foreclosure of the underlying loans. These unscheduled prepayments of principal create risks that can adversely affect a fund holding government mortgage-backed securities.
For example, when interest rates decline, the values of government mortgage-backed securities generally rise. However, when interest rates decline, unscheduled prepayments can be expected to accelerate, and the Fund would be required to reinvest the proceeds of the prepayments at the lower interest rates then available. Unscheduled prepayments would also limit the potential for capital appreciation on government mortgage-backed securities.
Conversely, when interest rates rise, the values of government mortgage-backed securities generally fall. Since rising interest rates typically result in decreased prepayments, this could lengthen the average lives of government mortgage-backed securities, and cause their value to decline more than traditional fixed-income securities.
Generally, government mortgage-backed securities compensate for the increased risk associated with prepayments by paying a higher yield. The additional interest paid for risk is measured by the difference between the yield of a government mortgage-backed security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security or other appropriate benchmark with a comparable maturity (the “spread”). An increase in the spread will cause the price of the government mortgage-backed security to decline. Spreads generally increase in response to adverse economic or market conditions. Spreads may also increase if the security is perceived to have an increased prepayment risk or is perceived to have less market demand.
Risk Associated with the Investment Activities of Other Accounts
Investment decisions for the Fund are made independently from those of other accounts managed by the Adviser and accounts managed by affiliates of the Adviser. Therefore, it is possible that investment-related actions taken by such other accounts could adversely impact the Fund with respect to, for example, the value of Fund portfolio holdings, and/or prices paid to or received by the Fund on its portfolio transactions, and/or the Fund's ability to obtain or dispose of portfolio securities. Related considerations are discussed elsewhere in this SAI under “Brokerage Transactions and Investment Allocation.”
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will experience significant net redemptions of Fund Shares at a time when it cannot find willing buyers for its portfolio securities or can only sell its portfolio securities at a material loss. An inability to sell portfolio securities may result from adverse market developments or investor perceptions regarding the portfolio securities. While the Fund endeavors to maintain a high level of liquidity in its portfolio so that it can satisfy redemption requests, the Fund's ability to sell portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting particular issuers or credit enhancement providers, or due to general market conditions and a lack of willing buyers.
Cyber Security Risk
Like other business enterprises, the use of the Internet and other electronic media and technology may expose the Fund, and/or the Fund's service providers, and their respective operations, to potential risks from cyber-security attacks or incidents (collectively, “cyber-events”). Cyber-events may include, for example, unauthorized access to systems, networks or devices (such as, for example, through “hacking” activity), infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code, and attacks which shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality. In addition to intentional cyber-events, unintentional cyber-events can occur, such as, for example, the inadvertent release of confidential information. There is the potential that a cyber-event involving a Fund service provider may adversely impact the Fund and its shareholders and cause
5

the Fund to incur financial loss and expense, as well as face exposure to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures. A cyber-event may cause a service provider, to lose proprietary information about the Fund or its shareholders, suffer data corruption, lose operational capacity (such as, for example, the loss of the ability to process transactions, calculate the Fund's NAV, or allow shareholders to transact business), and/or fail to comply with applicable privacy and other laws. Among other potentially harmful effects, cyber-events also may result in theft, unauthorized monitoring and failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the Fund and its service providers. In addition, cyber-events affecting issuers in which the Fund invests may cause the Fund's investments to lose value. The Fund's Adviser and its relevant affiliates have established risk management systems reasonably designed to seek to reduce the risks associated with cyber-events, however, there is no guarantee that the efforts of the Adviser or its affiliates, or other service providers, will succeed, either entirely or partially. Among other reasons, the nature of malicious cyber-attacks is becoming increasingly sophisticated and the Fund's Adviser, and its relevant affiliates, cannot control the cyber systems and cyber security systems of issuers or third party service providers.
Investment Objective (and Policies) and Investment Limitations
The investment objective of the Fund is stability of principal and current income consistent with stability of principal.
Money market instruments include, but are not limited to, U.S. Treasury Bills, all other marketable obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Obligations”), instruments of banks and savings and loans which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (such as certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings shares and bankers' acceptances; these instruments are not necessarily guaranteed by the FDIC), repurchase agreements (an instrument where the seller agrees to repurchase the instrument at the time of sale at a mutually agreed-upon time and price) and prime commercial paper including variable amount demand master notes.
The Fund will not invest in instruments issued by banks or savings and loans unless: (a) at the time of investment they have capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 (as of the date of their most recently published financial statements); or (b) the principal amount of the instrument is insured in full by the FDIC. To the extent the Fund purchases Eurodollar certificates of deposit issued by foreign branches of domestic U.S. banks, consideration will be given to their domestic marketability, the lower reserve requirements normally mandated for overseas banking operations and the possible impact of interruptions in the flow of international currency transactions.
Commercial paper investments will be limited to commercial paper rated A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's Trust, Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's Investors Services or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch Investors Service. In the case where commercial paper has received different ratings from different services, such commercial paper is an acceptable investment so long as at least one rating was a high-quality rating and provided the Board or its designee determines that such investment presents minimal credit risks.
The Fund may purchase money market instruments, including bank instruments and commercial paper, which are not rated but are determined by the Board or its designee to be of comparable quality to the other bank or corporate obligations in which the Fund may invest.
The Fund may also purchase U.S. Government Obligations on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the money market instruments purchased by the Fund represent unconditional promises to repay the entire investment proceeds at maturity, this in itself does not suggest that the shares of the Fund are themselves guaranteed. The investment policies outlined above permit investment in a wide variety of money market instruments and it is anticipated that investment emphasis will shift within available categories of instruments depending on the current condition of the money market.
The Fund may attempt to increase yield by trading portfolio securities to take advantage of short-term market variations.
The investment objective and policies may not be changed by the Fund's Board without shareholder approval.
Investment Limitations
Diversification of Investments
The Fund is a “diversified company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (hereinafter referred to as “1940 Act”) and is subject to any rules, regulations or interpretations thereunder.
Selling Short and Buying on Margin
The Fund will not purchase any money market instruments on margin or sell any money market instruments short but it may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for clearance of purchases and sales of money market instruments.
6

Borrowing Money
The Fund will not borrow money except as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes and then only in amounts not in excess of 5% of the value of its total assets. In addition, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements and otherwise borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets, including the amount borrowed, in order to meet redemption requests without immediately selling portfolio instruments. This latter practice is not for investment leverage but solely to facilitate management of the portfolio by enabling the Fund to meet redemption requests when the liquidation of portfolio instruments would be inconvenient or disadvantageous.
Interest paid on borrowed funds will not be available for investment and will reduce net income. The Fund will liquidate any such borrowings as soon as possible. However, during the period any reverse repurchase agreements are outstanding, but only to the extent necessary to assure completion of the reverse repurchase agreements, the Fund will restrict the purchase of portfolio investments to money market instruments maturing on or before the expiration date of the reverse repurchase agreements.
Pledging Assets
The Fund will not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any assets except to secure permitted borrowings. In those cases, it may mortgage, pledge or hypothecate assets having a market value not exceeding the lesser of the dollar amounts borrowed or 10% of the value of total assets at the time of the borrowing.
Underwriting
The Fund will not underwrite any issue of securities, except as it may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of restricted securities which the Fund may purchase pursuant to its investment objective, policies and limitations.
Lending Cash or Securities
The Fund will not lend any of its assets (except that it may purchase or hold money market instruments, to include repurchase agreements and variable amount demand master notes, permitted by the investment objective and policies).
Issuing Senior Securities
The Fund will not issue senior securities, except as permitted by the investment objective and policies and investment limitations of the Fund.
Concentration of Investments
The Fund will not purchase money market instruments if, as a result of such purchase, more than 25% of the value of its total assets would be invested in any one industry.
However, investing in bank instruments such as time and demand deposits and certificates of deposit, U.S. Government Obligations, or instruments secured by these money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements, shall not be considered investments in any one industry.
Investing in Commodities or Real Estate
The Fund will not invest in commodities, commodity contracts or real estate, except that it may purchase money market instruments issued by companies which invest in or sponsor interests therein.
The above limitations cannot be changed unless authorized by the Board and by the “vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities,” as defined by the 1940 Act. The following limitations, however, may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified before any material change in these limitations becomes effective.
Acquiring Securities
The Fund will not acquire the voting securities of any issuer. It will not invest in securities of a company for the purpose of exercising control or management.
Investing in Restricted Securities
The Fund may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are any securities that are subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities law. The Fund may invest without limitation in restricted securities which are determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board. To the extent that restricted securities are not determined to be liquid, the Fund will limit their purchase, together with other illiquid securities, to not more than 10% of its net assets.
Additional Information
Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such limitation.
7

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
The Fund may follow non-fundamental operational policies that are more restrictive than its fundamental investment limitations, as set forth in the Prospectus and this SAI, in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including the provisions of and regulations under the 1940 Act. In particular, the Fund will comply with the various requirements of Rule 2a-7 (the “Rule”), which regulates money market mutual funds. The Fund may change these operational policies to reflect changes in the laws and regulations without the approval of its shareholders.
What Do Shares Cost?
Determining Market Value Of Securities
The Board has decided that the best method for determining the value of portfolio instruments is amortized cost. Under the amortized cost valuation method, an investment is valued initially at its cost as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The Fund then adjusts the amount of interest income accrued each day over the term of the investment to account for any difference between the initial cost of their investment and the amount payable at its maturity. If the amount payable at maturity exceeds the initial cost (a “discount”), then the daily accrual is increased; if the initial cost exceeds the amount payable at maturity (a “premium”), then the daily accrual is decreased. The Fund adds the amount of the increase to (in the case of a discount), or subtracts the amount of the decrease from (in the case of a premium), the investment's cost each day. The Fund uses this adjusted cost to value the investment.
Accordingly, neither the amount of daily income nor the net asset value (NAV) is affected by any unrealized appreciation or depreciation of the portfolio. In periods of declining interest rates, the indicated daily yield on Shares of the Fund, computed by dividing the annualized daily income on the Fund's portfolio by the NAV, computed as above, may tend to be higher than a similar computation made by using a method of valuation based upon market prices and estimates. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite may be true.
The Fund's use of the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio instruments depends on its compliance with certain conditions in the Rule. Under the Rule, the Board must establish procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the NAV per Share, as computed for purposes of distribution and redemption, at $1.00 per Share, taking into account current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective. The procedures include monitoring the relationship between the amortized cost value per Share and the NAV per Share based upon available indications of market value. The Board will decide what, if any, steps should be taken if there is a difference of more than 0.5 of 1% between the two values. The Board will take any steps it considers appropriate (such as redemption in-kind or shortening the average portfolio maturity) to minimize any material dilution or other unfair results arising from differences between the two methods of determining NAV.
How is the Fund Sold?
Under the Distributor's Contract with the Fund, the Distributor (Federated Securities Corp.) offers Shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis exclusively through Edward Jones to its customers. The Fund is sold largely as a “sweep” investment for otherwise uninvested cash in customers' brokerage accounts. Edward Jones takes the primary responsibility for marketing Shares to its customers. The expense of this marketing effort is provided from Edward Jones' own resources, including its partnership share of the Adviser's revenues.
ADDITIONAL Payments TO Edward Jones
The Distributor may pay out of its own resources amounts to Edward Jones at an annual rate of up to 10 basis points of the value of shares sold or serviced by Edward Jones, except that Edward Jones does not receive these payments with respect to the Fund. In some cases, such payments may be made by, or funded from the resources of, companies affiliated with the Distributor (including the Adviser). While Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) regulations limit the sales charges that you may bear, there are no limits with regard to the amounts that the Distributor may pay out of its own resources. In addition to the payments which are generally described herein and in the Prospectus, Edward Jones also may receive Service Fees. In connection with these payments, Edward Jones may grant the Distributor preferential or enhanced opportunities to promote the Federated funds in various ways within the Edward Jones' organization. You can obtain more information about any payments Edward Jones receives from the Distributor or the Federated funds, and any services provided, from your Edward Jones financial advisor or at www.edwardjones.com.
8

The categories of payments that the Distributor provides to Edward Jones are described below. These categories are not mutually exclusive and the Distributor may make additional types of supplemental payments in the future. Edward Jones may receive payments under more than one or all categories. These payments assist in the Distributor's efforts to support the sale of Shares. These payments are negotiated and may be based on such factors as: the number or value of Shares that Edward Jones sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; the level and types of services or support furnished by Edward Jones; or the Fund's and/or other Federated funds' relationship with Edward Jones. These payments could be significant.
Supplemental Payments
The Distributor may make supplemental payments to Edward Jones as holder or dealer of record for accounts in one or more of the Federated funds. These payments may be based on such factors as: the number or value of shares Edward Jones sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; or the type and nature of services or support furnished by the financial intermediary.
Processing Support Payments
The Distributor may make payments to Edward Jones to help offset its costs associated with client account maintenance support, statement processing and transaction processing. The types of payments that the Distributor may make under this category include payment of ticket charges on a per transaction basis; payment of networking fees; and payment for ancillary services such as setting up funds on Edward Jones' mutual fund trading system.
Retirement Plan Program Servicing Payments
The Distributor may make payments to Edward Jones for performing retirement plan program services itself or arranging with a third party to perform retirement plan program services. In addition to participant recordkeeping, reporting or transaction processing, retirement plan program services may include services rendered to a plan in connection with fund/investment selection and monitoring; employee enrollment and education; plan balance rollover or separation or other similar services.
Additional Marketing Support Payments
From time to time, the Distributor, at its expense, may provide additional compensation to Edward Jones that is the same as or comparable to compensation that the Distributor provides to other similar intermediaries who sell Federated fund shares or who provide similar services to the Federated funds and shareholders. Edward Jones does not receive these payments with respect to the Fund. Such compensation provided to Edward Jones may include financial assistance to Edward Jones that enables the Distributor to participate in or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives and other employees, client entertainment, client and investor events and other financial intermediary-sponsored events.
The Distributor also may hold or sponsor, at its expense, sales events, conferences and programs for financial advisors of Edward Jones and may pay the travel and lodging expenses of attendees. The Distributor also may provide, at its expense, meals and entertainment in conjunction with meetings with Edward Jones. Other compensation may be offered to the extent not prohibited by applicable federal or state laws or regulations, or the rules of any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the following is a list of FINRA member firms that received additional payments from the Distributor or an affiliate. Additional payments may also be made to certain other financial intermediaries that are not FINRA member firms that sell Federated fund shares or provide services to the Federated funds and shareholders. These firms are not included in this list. Any additions, modifications or deletions to the member firms identified in this list that have occurred since December 31, 2014, are not reflected. You should ask your financial intermediary for information about any additional payments it receives from the Distributor.

Purchases In-Kind
You may contact the Distributor to request a purchase of Shares using securities you own. The Fund reserves the right to determine whether to accept your securities and the minimum market value to accept. The Fund will value your securities in the same manner as it values its assets in determining the market value of the portfolio for purposes of its comparison with amortized cost valuation. An in-kind purchase may be treated as a sale of your securities for federal tax purposes; please consult your tax adviser regarding potential tax liability.
Redemption In-Kind
Although the Fund generally intends to pay Share redemptions in cash, it reserves the right, on its own initiative or in response to a shareholder request, to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution of the Fund's portfolio securities.
Because the Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund is obligated to pay Share redemptions to any one shareholder in cash only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets represented by such Share class during any 90-day period.
Any Share redemption payment greater than this amount will also be in cash unless the Fund elects to pay all or a portion of the remainder of the redemption in portfolio securities, valued in the same way as the Fund determines its NAV.
Redemption in-kind is not as liquid as a cash redemption. Shareholders receiving the portfolio securities could have difficulty selling them, may incur related transaction costs and would be subject to risks of fluctuations in the securities' values prior to sale.

Massachusetts Partnership Law
Under certain circumstances, shareholders may be held personally liable as partners under Massachusetts law for obligations of the Fund. To protect its shareholders, the Fund has filed legal documents with Massachusetts that expressly disclaim the liability of its shareholders for acts or obligations of the Fund.
In the unlikely event a shareholder is held personally liable for the Fund's obligations, the Fund is required by the Declaration of Trust to use its property to protect or compensate the shareholder. On request, the Fund will defend any claim made and pay any judgment against a shareholder for any act or obligation of the Fund. Therefore, financial loss resulting from liability as a shareholder will occur only if the Fund itself cannot meet its obligations to indemnify shareholders and pay judgments against them.
Account and Share Information
Voting Rights
Each Share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and other matters submitted to shareholders for vote.
All Shares of the Fund have equal voting rights, except in matters affecting only a particular class; in that instance only Shares of that class are entitled to vote.
Trustees may be removed by the Board or by shareholders at a special meeting. A special meeting of shareholders will be called by the Board upon the written request of shareholders who own at least 10% of the Fund's outstanding Shares.
As of April 7, 2015, there were no shareholders who owned of record, beneficially, or both, 5% or more of outstanding Investment Shares or Retirement Shares.
Shareholders owning 25% or more of outstanding Shares may be in control and be able to affect the outcome of certain matters presented for a vote of shareholders.
Tax Information
Federal Income Tax
The Fund intends to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) which is applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not met, the Fund will not receive special tax treatment and will be subject to federal corporate income tax.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
If the Fund purchases foreign securities, their investment income may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes that could reduce the return on these securities. Tax treaties between the United States and foreign countries, however, may reduce or eliminate the amount of foreign taxes to which the Fund would be subject. The effective rate of foreign tax cannot be predicted since the amount of Fund assets to be invested within various countries is uncertain. However, the Fund intends to operate so as to qualify for treaty-reduced tax rates when applicable.
Who Manages and Provides Services to the Fund?
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is responsible for managing the Fund's business affairs and for exercising all the Fund's powers except those reserved for the shareholders.

Unless otherwise noted, each Officer is elected annually. Unless otherwise noted, each Trustee oversees all portfolios in the Federated Fund Complex and serves for an indefinite term.
As of April 7, 2015, the Fund's Board and Officers as a group owned less than 1% of each class of the Fund's outstanding Shares.

The Nominating Committee, whose members consist of all Independent Trustees, selects and nominates persons for election to the Fund's Board when vacancies occur. The Committee will consider candidates recommended by shareholders, Independent Trustees, officers or employees of any of the Fund's agents or service providers and counsel to the Fund. Any shareholder who desires to have an individual considered for nomination by the Committee must submit a recommendation in writing to the Secretary of the Fund, at the Fund's address appearing on the back cover of this SAI. The recommendation should include the name and address of both the shareholder and the candidate and detailed information concerning the candidate's qualifications and experience. In identifying and evaluating candidates for consideration, the Committee shall consider such factors as it deems appropriate. Those factors will ordinarily include: integrity, intelligence, collegiality, judgment, diversity, skill, business and other experience, qualification as an “Independent Trustee,” the existence of material relationships which may create the appearance of a lack of independence, financial or accounting knowledge and experience and dedication and willingness to devote the time and attention necessary to fulfill Board responsibilities.

The Audit Committee meets regularly with the Fund's Principal Financial Officer and outside auditors, as well as with Federated's Chief Audit Executive to discuss financial reporting and audit issues, including risks relating to financial controls.

Investment Adviser
Passport Research, Ltd., the Adviser, is a Pennsylvania limited partnership. Its general partner is Federated Investment Management Company, a wholly owned investment advisory subsidiary of Federated, with a 50.5% interest. Its limited partner is Edward D. Jones & Co. L.P., with a 49.5% interest. The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the Fund. The partners in the Adviser allocate the expenses and revenues of the partnership according to a mutually agreed-upon formula. Last year, the general and limited partners received no partnership distributions. The allocation of expenses and revenues of the partnership may vary depending upon total assets in the Fund or other factors. The Fund pays Service Fees up to 0.25% of average net assets to Edward Jones for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Edward Jones provides shareholder services, transfer agent services and marketing services to the Fund and the 852,626 accounts (Investment
16

Shares) and 803,308 accounts (Retirement Shares) that its clients maintain in the Fund. During the Fund's last fiscal year, Edward Jones received approximately $9.0 million in net total fees (approximately 71% of total Fund net expenses) for its services. Edward Jones would have received $6.39 in total fees and payments with respect to a shareholder maintaining an investment of $10,000 in Investment Shares or $6.39 with respect to a shareholder maintaining an investment of $10,000 in Retirement Shares during that year.
Other Related Services
Affiliates of the Adviser may, from time to time, provide certain electronic equipment and software to institutional customers in order to facilitate the purchase of Fund Shares offered by the Distributor.
Code Of Ethics Restrictions On Personal Trading
As required by SEC rules, the Fund, its Adviser and its Distributor have adopted codes of ethics. These codes govern securities trading activities of investment personnel, Fund Trustees and certain other employees. Although they do permit these people to trade in securities, including those that the Fund could buy, as well as Shares of the Fund, they also contain significant safeguards designed to protect the Fund and its shareholders from abuses in this area, such as requirements to obtain prior approval for, and to report, particular transactions.
Voting Proxies On Fund Portfolio Securities
The Board has delegated to the Adviser authority to vote proxies on the securities held in the Fund's portfolio. The Board has also approved the Adviser's policies and procedures for voting the proxies, which are described below.
Proxy Voting Policies
The Adviser's general policy is to cast proxy votes in favor of proposals that the Adviser anticipates will enhance the long-term value of the securities being voted. Generally, this will mean voting for proposals that the Adviser believes will: (a) improve the management of a company; (b) increase the rights or preferences of the voted securities; and/or (c) increase the chance that a premium offer would be made for the company or for the voted securities.
The following examples illustrate how these general policies may apply to proposals submitted by a company's board of directors for approval or ratification by holders of the company's voting securities. However, whether the Adviser supports or opposes a proposal will always depend on the specific circumstances described in the proxy statement and other available information.
On matters of corporate governance, generally the Adviser will vote for the full slate of directors nominated in an uncontested election, but against any director who: (a) had not attended at least 75% of the board meetings during the previous year; (b) serves as the company's chief financial officer; (c) has committed himself or herself to service on a large number of boards, such that we deem it unlikely that the director would be able to commit sufficient focus and time to a particular company; and/or (d) is the chair of the nominating committee when the roles of chairman of the board and CEO are combined and there is no lead independent director; and/or (e) served on the compensation committee during a period in which compensation appears excessive relative to performance and peers. In addition, the Adviser will vote for proposals to: require a company's audit committee to be comprised entirely of independent directors; declassify the board of directors; require a majority voting standard in the election of directors; eliminate supermajority requirements in a company's bylaws; grant shareholders the right to call a special meeting if owners of at least 25% of the outstanding stock agree; require independent tabulation of proxies and/or confidential voting by shareholders; ratify the board's selection of auditors (unless compensation for non-audit services exceeded 50% of the total compensation received from the company, or the previous auditor was dismissed because of a disagreement with the company); and repeal a shareholder rights plan (also known as a “poison pill”). The Adviser will generally vote against the adoption of such a plan (unless the plan is designed to facilitate, rather than prevent, unsolicited offers for the company).
On matters of capital structure, generally the Adviser will vote: against proposals to authorize or issue shares that are senior in priority or voting rights to the securities being voted; and for proposals to: reduce the amount of shares authorized for issuance; authorize a stock repurchase program; and grant preemptive rights to the securities being voted. The Adviser will generally vote against proposals to eliminate such preemptive rights.
On matters relating to management compensation, generally the Adviser will vote: for stock incentive plans that align the recipients' interests with the interests of shareholders without creating undue dilution; against proposals that would permit the amendment or replacement of outstanding stock incentives with new stock incentives having more favorable terms; and against executive compensation plans that do not disclose the maximum amounts of compensation that may be awarded or the criteria for determining awards.
17

On matters relating to corporate transactions, the Adviser will vote proxies relating to proposed mergers, capital reorganizations, and similar transactions in accordance with the general policy, based upon its analysis of the terms, conditions and anticipated results of the proposed transaction. The Adviser will vote proxies in contested elections of directors based upon its analysis of the opposing slates and their respective proposed business strategies. When the company's board, or another party involved in a proposed transaction or change in the board, submits proposals for the purpose of facilitating or impeding such transaction or change, the Adviser will cast its proxies based on its evaluation of the proposed transaction or change to the board. In these circumstances, the Adviser may vote in a manner contrary to its general practice for similar proposals made outside the context of such a proposed transaction or change in the board. For example, if the Adviser decides to vote against a proposed transaction, it may vote in favor of anti-takeover measures reasonably designed to prevent the transaction.
The Adviser generally votes proxies against proposals submitted by shareholders without the favorable recommendation of a company's board. The Adviser believes that a company's board should manage its business and policies, and that shareholders who seek specific changes should strive to convince the board of their merits or seek direct representation on the board. However, the Adviser would vote for shareholder proposals not supported by the company's board that the Adviser regards as: (a) likely to result in an immediate and favorable improvement in the total return of the voted security; and (b) unlikely to be adopted by the company's board in the absence of shareholder direction.
In addition, the Adviser will not vote any proxy if it determines that the consequences or costs of voting outweigh the potential benefit of voting. For example, if a foreign market requires shareholders voting proxies to retain the voted shares until the meeting date (thereby rendering the shares “illiquid” for some period of time), the Adviser will not vote proxies for such shares. In addition, the Adviser is not obligated to incur any expense to send a representative to a shareholder meeting or to translate proxy materials into English.
Proxy Voting Procedures
The Adviser has established the Proxy Committee (“Proxy Committee”), to exercise all voting discretion granted to the Adviser by the Board in accordance with the proxy voting policies. The Adviser has hired a proxy voting service to obtain, vote and record proxies in accordance with the directions of the Proxy Committee. The Proxy Committee has supplied the proxy voting service with general instructions (the “Standard Voting Instructions”) that represent decisions made by the Proxy Committee in order to vote common proxy proposals. As the Proxy Committee believes that a shareholder vote is equivalent to an investment decision, the Proxy Committee retains the right to modify the Standard Voting Instructions at any time or to vote contrary to them at any time in order to cast proxy votes in a manner that the Proxy Committee believes is: (a) in the best interests of the Adviser's clients (including shareholders of the funds advised by the Adviser); and (b) will enhance the long-term value of the securities being voted. The proxy voting service may vote any proxy as directed in the Standard Voting Instructions without further direction from the Proxy Committee. However, if the Standard Voting Instructions require case-by-case direction for a proposal, the proxy voting service shall provide the Proxy Committee with all information that it has obtained regarding the proposal and the Proxy Committee will provide specific direction to the proxy voting service.
The Proxy Committee has created the Proxy Voting Management Group (PVMG) to assist it in carrying out the day-to-day operations related to proxy voting. The day-to-day operations related to proxy voting are carried out by the Proxy Voting Operations Team (PVOT) and overseen by the PVMG. This work includes, but is not limited to: interacting with the proxy voting service on the Proxy Committee's behalf; soliciting voting recommendations from the Adviser's investment professionals, as necessary, on case-by-case items referred to the Proxy Committee by the proxy voting service; bringing requests to the Proxy Committee from the Adviser's investment professionals for voting contrary to the Standard Voting Instructions; filing any required proxy voting reports; providing proxy voting reports to clients and investment companies as they are requested from time to time; keeping the Proxy Committee informed of any issues related to proxy voting; and voting client shares as directed by the Proxy Committee.
Conflicts of Interest
The Adviser has adopted procedures to address situations where a matter on which a proxy is sought may present a potential conflict between the interests of the Fund (and its shareholders) and those of the Adviser or Distributor. This may occur where a significant business relationship exists between the Adviser (or its affiliates) and a company involved with a proxy vote. A company that is a proponent, opponent or the subject of a proxy vote and which to the knowledge of the Proxy Committee has a significant business relationship with the Adviser, is referred to below as an “Interested Company.”
The Adviser has implemented the following procedures in order to avoid concerns that the conflicting interests of the Adviser have influenced proxy voting. Any employee of the Adviser who is contacted by an Interested Company regarding proxies to be voted by the Adviser must refer the Interested Company to a member of the Proxy Committee, and must inform the Interested Company that the Proxy Committee has exclusive authority to determine how the Adviser will exercise its voting discretion. Any Proxy Committee member contacted by an Interested Company must report it to the full Proxy Committee and provide a written
18

summary of the communication. Under no circumstances will the Proxy Committee or any member of the Proxy Committee make a commitment to an Interested Company regarding the voting of proxies or disclose to an Interested Company how the Proxy Committee has directed such proxies to be voted. If the Standard Voting Instructions already provide specific direction on the proposal in question, the Proxy Committee shall not alter or amend such directions. If the Standard Voting Instructions require the Proxy Committee to provide further direction, the Proxy Committee shall do so in accordance with the proxy voting policies, without regard for the interests of the Adviser with respect to the Interested Company. If the Proxy Committee provides any direction as to the voting of proxies relating to a proposal affecting an Interested Company, it must disclose annually to the Fund's Board information regarding: the significant business relationship; any material communication with the Interested Company; the matter(s) voted on; and how, and why, the Adviser voted as it did. Alternatively, the Proxy Committee may seek direction from the Fund's Board on how a proposal concerning an Interested Company shall be voted, and shall follow any such direction provided by the Board. In seeking such direction, the Proxy Committee will disclose the reason such company is considered an Interested Company and may provide a recommendation on how such proposal should be voted and the basis for such recommendation.
If the Adviser's client owns shares of an investment company for which the Adviser (or an affiliate) is the investment adviser, the Proxy Committee will vote the client's proxies for that investment company in the same proportion as the votes cast by shareholders who are not clients of the Adviser, unless otherwise directed by the client (or in the case of an investment company, its board of directors or trustees).
Downstream Affiliates
If the Proxy Committee gives further direction, or seeks to vote contrary to the Standard Voting Instructions, for a proxy relating to a portfolio company in which an investment company client owns more than 10% of the portfolio company's outstanding voting securities at the time of the vote (Downstream Affiliate), the Proxy Committee must first receive guidance from counsel to the Proxy Committee as to whether any relationship between the Adviser and the portfolio company, other than such ownership of the portfolio company's securities, gives rise to an actual conflict of interest. If counsel determines that an actual conflict exists, the Proxy Committee must address any such conflict with the executive committee of the board of directors or trustees of any investment company client prior to taking any action on the proxy at issue.
Proxy Voting Report
A report on Form N-PX of how the Fund voted any proxies during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available from the EDGAR database on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION
Information concerning the Fund's portfolio holdings is available at www.edwardjones.com/moneymarket. A complete listing of the Fund's portfolio holdings as well as the Fund's DWAM and WAL as of the end of each month is posted on the website five business days after the end of each month and remains posted on the website for six months thereafter.
The Fund's Annual and Semi-Annual reports, which contain complete listings of the Fund's portfolio holdings as of the end of the Fund's second and fourth fiscal quarters, also may be accessed at www.edwardjones.com/moneymarket. Fiscal quarter information is available in reports filed with the SEC at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. In addition, from time to time (for example, during periods of unusual market conditions), additional information regarding the Fund's portfolio holdings and/or composition may be posted to the Edward Jones website. If and when such information is posted, its availability will be noted on, and the information will be accessible at www.edwardjones.com/moneymarket.
Firms that provide administrative, custody, financial, accounting, legal or other services to the Fund may receive nonpublic information about Fund portfolio holdings for purposes relating to their services. The Fund may also provide portfolio holdings information to publications that rate, rank or otherwise categorize investment companies. Traders or portfolio managers may provide “interest” lists to facilitate portfolio trading if the list reflects only that subset of the portfolio for which the trader or portfolio manager is seeking market interest. A list of service providers, publications and other third parties who may receive nonpublic portfolio holdings information appears in the Appendix to this SAI.
The furnishing of nonpublic portfolio holdings information to any third party (other than authorized governmental or regulatory personnel) requires the prior approval of the President of the Adviser and of the Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund. The President of the Adviser and the Chief Compliance Officer will approve the furnishing of nonpublic portfolio holdings information to a third party only if they consider the furnishing of such information to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In that regard, and to address possible conflicts between the interests of Fund shareholders and those of the Adviser and its affiliates, the following procedures apply. No consideration may be received by the Fund, the Adviser, any affiliate of the Adviser or any of their employees in connection with the disclosure of portfolio holdings information. Before information is furnished, the third party must sign a written agreement that it will safeguard the confidentiality of the information, will use it only for the purposes for which it is furnished and will not use it in connection with the trading of any security. Persons approved to
19

receive nonpublic portfolio holdings information will receive it as often as necessary for the purpose for which it is provided. Such information may be furnished as frequently as daily and often with no time lag between the date of the information and the date it is furnished. The Board receives and reviews annually a list of the persons who receive nonpublic portfolio holdings information and the purposes for which it is furnished.
Brokerage Transactions And Investment Allocation
When selecting brokers and dealers to handle the purchase and sale of portfolio instruments, the Adviser looks for prompt execution of the order at a favorable price. Fixed-income securities are generally traded in an over-the-counter market on a net basis (i.e., without commission) through dealers acting as principal or in transactions directly with the issuer. Dealers derive an undisclosed amount of compensation by offering securities at a higher price than they bid for them. Some fixed-income securities may have only one primary market maker. The Adviser seeks to use dealers it believes to be actively and effectively trading the security being purchased or sold, but may not always obtain the lowest purchase price or highest sale price with respect to a security. The Adviser makes decisions on portfolio transactions and selects brokers and dealers subject to review by the Fund's Board.
Investment decisions for the Fund are made independently from those of other accounts managed by the Adviser and accounts managed by affiliates of the Adviser. When the Fund and one or more of those accounts invests in, or disposes of, the same security, available investments or opportunities for sales will be allocated among the Fund and the account(s) in a manner believed by the Adviser to be equitable. While the coordination and ability to participate in volume transactions may benefit the Fund, it is possible that this procedure could adversely impact the price paid or received and/or the position obtained or disposed of by the Fund. Investment decisions, and trading, for certain separately managed or wrap-fee accounts, and other accounts, of the Adviser and/or certain investment adviser affiliates of the Adviser are generally made, and conducted, independently from the Fund. It is possible that such independent trading activity could adversely impact the prices paid or received and/or positions obtained or disposed of by the Fund.
