EXAMPLE:

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions and the net expenses shown in the fee table, your costs would be:

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND TECHNIQUE OF THE FUND

The Fund’s principal investment strategy is to invest primarily in high-quality money market instruments selected principally on the basis of quality and yield.


The principal investment technique of the Fund is to invest in high-quality, short-term money market instruments, including U.S. government securities, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances and time deposits, commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S. and foreign corporations, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and asset-backed securities.


The Fund is a money market fund and seeks to maintain a stable share price of $1.00. In order to do this, the Fund must follow rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as to the credit quality, liquidity, diversification and maturity of its investments.


The principal investment strategy and principal investment technique of the Fund may be changed without shareholder approval.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment goal will be met or that the net return on an investment in the Fund will exceed what could have been obtained through other investment or savings vehicles. Shares of the Fund are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank, government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to achieve its investment goal. Although the Fund seeks to maintain a stable share price of $1.00, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so and it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.


The following is a summary of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.


Interest Rate Fluctuations Risk. While the Fund will invest primarily in short-term securities, you should be aware that the value of the Fund’s investments may be subject to changes in interest rates. A decline in interest rates will generally affect the Fund’s yield as these securities mature or are sold and the Fund purchases new short-term securities with lower yields. Generally, an increase in interest rates causes the value of a debt instrument to decrease. The change in value for shorter-term securities is usually smaller than for securities with longer maturities. Because the Fund invests in securities with short maturities and seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, it is possible, though unlikely, that an increase or decrease in interest rates would change the value of your investment in the Fund. In addition, when interest rates are very low, the Fund’s expenses could absorb all or a significant portion of the Fund’s income, and, if the Fund’s expenses exceed the Fund’s income, the Fund may be unable to maintain its $1.00 share price.


Credit Risk. Issuers in which the Fund invests may fail financially or otherwise fail to honor their obligations. An issuer with a lower credit rating will be more likely than a higher rated issuer to default or otherwise become unable to honor its financial obligations. The occurrence of such events could cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. Money market instruments that are subject to credit support (e.g., guarantees or letters of credit) may also be affected by credit risk with respect to the credit support providers.


U.S. Government Securities Risk. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. For example, securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Bank are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government. These securities may be supported only by the credit of the issuing agency, authority, instrumentality or enterprise or by the ability to borrow from the U.S. Treasury and, as a result, are subject to greater credit risk than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.


Financial Services Exposure Risk. A substantial portion of the Fund’s portfolio may be comprised of money market instruments issued by banks. As a result, events affecting issuers in the financial services industry, including changes in government regulation and interest rates and economic downturns, may impact the creditworthiness of such issuers or their ability to honor their financial obligations. These events could have a negative impact on the Fund.


Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities in which the Fund may invest, although U.S. dollar denominated, may present additional risks. Foreign governments may not regulate securities markets and companies to the same degree as the U.S. government. In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company and it may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as U.S. companies. Foreign investments will also be affected by local, political or economic developments and governmental actions. Securities in foreign markets may also be subject to taxation policies that reduce returns for U.S. investors and may have restrictions on foreign ownership of securities or impose other restrictions or controls that would adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. Consequently, foreign securities may be less liquid, more volatile and more difficult to obtain frequent and reliable information about than U.S. securities.


Securities Selection Risk. A strategy used by the Fund, or securities selected by its portfolio manager, may fail to produce the intended return.
