Overview of Fund Risks

Money Market Funds

typically rely on a combination of the following strategies:

maintaining $1.00 per share net asset value;
investing in high quality, short-term money market instruments, including U.S. government securities;
investing in compliance with industry-standard requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity and diversification of investments; and
selling a portfolio investment: i) when the issuer's investment fundamentals begin to deteriorate; ii) to take advantage of more attractive yield opportunities; iii) when the investment no longer appears to meet the Fund's investment objective; iv) when the Fund must meet redemptions; or v) for other investment reasons which the portfolio managers deem necessary.

may be appropriate for investors who:

are seeking a conservative investment which invests in relatively safe securities;
are seeking a fund for short-term investment; and
are seeking liquidity.

Following this overview, you will find information on each Fund's specific investment strategies and risks.

Risk Factors For All Mutual Funds

Please remember that an investment in a mutual fund is:

not guaranteed to achieve its investment goal
not a deposit with a bank
not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency
subject to investment risks, including possible loss of your original investment

Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.

The following are some of the most important factors that may affect the value of your investment. Other factors may be described in the discussion following this overview:

Interest Rate Risk

When interest rates go up, the value of debt securities tends to fall. Since the Fund invests a significant portion of its portfolio in debt securities, if interest rates rise, then the value of your investment may decline. If interest rates go down, interest earned by the Fund on its debt investments may also decline, which could cause the Fund to reduce the dividends it pays. The longer the term of a debt security held by the Fund, the more the Fund is subject to interest rate risk.

Credit Risk

The value of a debt security is directly affected by the issuer's ability to repay principal and pay interest on time. Since the Fund invests in debt securities, the value of your investment may decline if an issuer fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis. The Fund may also be subject to credit risk to the extent it engages in transactions, such as repurchase agreements, which involve a promise by a third party to honor an obligation to the Fund. Such third party may be unwilling or unable to honor its financial obligations.

Concentration Risk

An investment in a fund that concentrates its investments in a single state entails greater risk than an investment in a fund that invests its assets in numerous states. The Fund may be vulnerable to any development in its named state’s economy that may weaken or jeopardize the ability of the state’s municipal security issuers to pay interest and principal on their debt obligations.

Non-Diversification Risk

An investment in a fund that is non-diversified entails greater risk than an investment in a diversified fund. When a fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of assets in a single issuer than may be invested by a diversified fund. A higher percentage of investments among fewer issuers may result in greater fluctuation in the total market value of the Fund’s portfolio than in a fund which invests in numerous issuers.

INVESTMENT GOAL

The Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and, to the extent possible, from California personal income tax, as is believed to be consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The following supplements the investment strategies discussed in the ''Overview of Fund Risks'' on page 1.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal money market securities issued by the State of California or its political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities, or other governmental units (such as U.S. territories). These municipal money market securities include fixed, variable or floating rate general obligation and revenue bonds; tax, bond and revenue anticipation notes; and commercial paper obligations. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s annual interest income will be exempt from federal income tax other than the federal alternative minimum tax and, to the extent possible, from California personal income tax. The Fund also invests in tender option bonds, which are demand obligations that bear interest at the prevailing short-term, tax-exempt rate.

The Fund will comply with the diversification requirements prescribed by Rule 2a-7. However, the Fund is non-diversified and therefore may invest a significant percentage of its assets in obligations of a single issuer. In determining which securities to purchase for the portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on the supply and demand of the security in the market place as well as the current interest rate environment.

The Fund may temporarily invest up to 20% of its assets in high quality, short-term taxable securities under one or more of the following circumstances: (a) pending investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or portfolio securities; (b) pending settlement of purchases of portfolio securities; and (c) to maintain liquidity for the purpose of meeting anticipated redemptions. However, the Fund may temporarily invest up to 100% of its assets in taxable securities for defensive purposes, which may result in the Fund not achieving its investment objective.

RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the Fund is subject to the risks discussed in the ''Overview of Fund Risks'' on page 1 under the headings:

Interest Rate Risk
Credit Risk
Concentration Risk
Non-Diversification Risk

The performance of the Fund is influenced by the political, economic and statutory environment within the State of California. The Fund invests in obligations of California issuers, which results in the Fund’s performance being subject to risks associated with the most current conditions within the state. Some of these conditions may include continuing uncertainties regarding the state’s power markets, slow economic growth following a mild recession in 2001 and a cyclical downturn in the high technology sector. State revenues have been severely and adversely affected by the economic slowdown and, in particular, stock market declines since mid-2000, which have dramatically reduced income from capital gains realizations and stock option activity. The state faces an estimated $23.6 billion budget gap for the 2001-02 and 2002-03 fiscal years. The state also faces a cash flow shortfall which will require additional short-term borrowing in June, 2002 in order to assure payment of all obligations coming due in June, July and August, 2002. These and other factors may cause rating agencies to downgrade the credit ratings on certain issues. For more information on the factors that could affect the ability of California municipal security issuers to pay interest and principal on securities acquired by the Fund, see “Additional Information Concerning California” in the Statement of Additional Information.

Distributions of capital gains and other taxable income will be subject to tax under the California personal income tax. Corporations subject to the California corporation franchise tax will generally be subject to tax on all distributions of income from the Fund.

Because the taxable money market is a broader and more liquid market and has a greater number of investors, issuers and market makers than the market for short-term, tax-exempt municipal securities, the liquidity of the Fund may not be equal to that of a money market fund which invests exclusively in short-term taxable money market instruments. The more limited marketability of short-term, tax-exempt municipal securities may make it difficult in certain circumstances to dispose of large investments advantageously.

For further information regarding the Fund's investment strategy and risk factors, see "Other Fund Practices."

EXPENSES

This section describes the fees and expenses you would pay if you bought and held shares of the Fund. Annual Fund Operating Expenses are based on the Fund’s fiscal year ended 1/31/2002.

You pay no shareholder transaction fees.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that are deducted from Fund assets)

	Management Fees	12b-1 Fees	Other Expenses	Total Fund Operating Expenses ¹
Class A	0.45 %	0.30 %	0.33 %	1.08 %

1. From time to time, the Fund's investment advisor may, at its discretion, reduce or waive its fees or reimburse the Fund for certain of its expenses in order to reduce expense ratios. The Fund's investment advisor may cease these waivers or reimbursements at any time. The Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not reflect fee waivers. Including fee waivers, Total Fund Operating Expenses were 0.88% for Class A.

The table below shows the total expenses you would pay on a $10,000 investment over one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in this Fund versus other mutual funds and is for illustration purposes only.

INVESTMENT GOAL

The Fund seeks to achieve as high a level of current income as is consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The following supplements the investment strategies discussed in the ''Overview of Fund Risks'' on page 1.

The Fund invests principally in money market securities including short-term corporate debt obligations (such as fixed, variable or floating rate securities), certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, commercial paper and repurchase agreements determined to present minimal credit risk.

In addition, the Fund may invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, including the Inter-american Development Bank and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in bank certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances payable in U.S. dollars and issued by foreign banks (including U.S. branches of foreign banks) or by foreign branches of U.S. banks. The Fund may also invest in bank obligations.

The portfolio managers focus primarily on the interest rate environment in determining which securities to purchase for the portfolio. Generally, in a rising rate environment, the Fund will invest in securities of shorter maturities. If interest rates are high, the Fund will generally invest in securities with longer maturities; however, the Fund will not acquire any security with a remaining maturity of greater than 397 days.

RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the Fund is subject to the risks discussed in the ''Overview of Fund Risks'' on page 1 under the headings:

Interest Rate Risk
Credit Risk

In addition to interest rate risk and credit risk, the Fund is subject to risks associated with obligations of the Inter-american Development Bank and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Because these banks are supported only by appropriated but unpaid commitments of member countries, there is no assurance that the commitments will be undertaken in the future.

If the Fund invests in bank certificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances payable in U.S. dollars and issued by foreign banks (including U.S. branches of foreign banks) or by foreign branches of U.S. banks, it could be exposed to certain unique risks of foreign investing. For example, political turmoil and economic instability in the countries in which the Fund invests could adversely affect the dividend yield, total return earned on and the value of your investment. Certain foreign countries have less developed and less regulated banking systems and accounting systems than the U.S.

For further information regarding the Fund's investment strategy and risk factors, see "Other Fund Practices."

Interest Rate Risk
Credit Risk
Concentration Risk
Non-Diversification Risk

The performance of the Fund is influenced by the political, economic and statutory environment within the State of New York.

For more information on the factors that could affect the ability of the New York municipal security issuers to pay interest and principal on securities acquired by the Fund, see “Additional Information Concerning New York” in the Statement of Additional Information.

Distributions of capital gains and other taxable income will be subject to tax under the personal income taxes of New York State, New York City and other New York municipalities.

THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT ADVISOR

An investment advisor manages a Fund's investments and supervises its daily business affairs. The investment advisor for the Evergreen Funds is a subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation (Wachovia), formerly First Union Corporation, the fourth largest bank holding company in the United States, with over $319.6 billion in consolidated assets as of 4/30/2002. Wachovia is located at 301 South College Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28288-0013.

Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC (EIMC) is the investment advisor to the Funds. EIMC has been managing mutual funds and private accounts since 1932 and manages over $106.6 billion in assets for 129 of the Evergreen and Wachovia Funds as of 4/30/2002. EIMC is located at 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116-5034.

For the fiscal year ended 1/31/2002, the aggregate advisory fee paid to the investment advisor by each Fund was as follows:

Fund	% of the Fund's average daily net assets
California Municipal Money Market Fund	0.25 %
Money Market Fund ¹	0.39 %
Municipal Money Market Fund	0.42 %
New York Municipal Money Market Fund	0.29 %
U.S. Government Money Market Fund	0.40 %

1. Effective May 11, 2001, the investment advisory contract for the Fund was transferred to EIMC. There were no changes in advisory fee rates.

CALCULATING THE SHARE PRICE

The value of one share of a Fund, also known as the net asset value, or NAV, is calculated at 4 p.m. Eastern time on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open or as of the time the Exchange closes, if earlier. The Fund calculates the share price for each share by adding up its total assets, subtracting all liabilities, then dividing the result by the total number of shares outstanding. Each class of shares is calculated separately. Each security held by a Fund is valued on an amortized cost basis according to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under this method of valuation, a security is initially valued at its acquisition cost, and thereafter a constant straightline amortization of any discount or premium is assumed each day regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the security.

The price per share you pay for a Fund purchase or the amount you receive for a Fund redemption is based on the next price calculated after the order is received and all required information is provided. The value of your account at any given time is the latest share price multiplied by the number of shares you own.

Shareholders whose purchase of shares of the Fund is accepted at or before 2 p.m. Eastern time for Money Market Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund, and 12:00 Noon Eastern time for California Municipal Money Market Fund, Municipal Money Market Fund and New York Municipal Money Market Fund on any day the market is open, except in those cases where the market closes earlier, will receive the dividend declared by the Fund for that day; shareholders whose purchase of shares is accepted after the times noted above will begin earning dividends on the next business day after the Fund accepts their order.

HOW TO CHOOSE AN EVERGREEN FUND

When choosing an Evergreen Fund, you should:

Most importantly, read the prospectus to see if the Fund is suitable for you.
Consider talking to an investment professional. He or she is qualified to give you investment advice based on your investment goals and financial situation and will be able to answer questions you may have after reading the Fund's prospectus.

In addition, any of these documents, with the exception of the SAI, may be downloaded off our website at www.evergreeninvestments.com.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE SHARE CLASS THAT BEST SUITS YOU

After choosing a Fund, you select a share class. The Funds offer up to six different share classes. Only Class A shares are offered in this prospectus.

Class A

Each Fund offers Class A shares at NAV without a front-end sales charge. However, Class A shares are subject to 12b-1 fees and certain broker-dealers and other financial institutions may impose a fee in connection with purchases of Class A shares of the Funds. When exchanging from Class A shares of a money market fund to a non-money market fund within the Evergreen Funds family, a sales charge will be imposed on the exchange, unless the shares have been subject to a previous sales charge. This sales charge only applies to Class A shares of an Evergreen money market fund.

Automatic Reinvestment of Distributions

For the convenience of investors, all dividends and capital gains distributions are automatically reinvested, unless you request otherwise. Distributions can be made by check or electronic transfer through the Automated Clearing House to your bank account. The details of your dividends and other distributions will be included on your statement.

Payroll Deduction

If you want to invest automatically through your paycheck, call us to find out how you can set up direct payroll deductions. The amounts deducted will be invested in your Fund account using the Electronic Funds Transfer System. We will provide the Fund account number. Your payroll department will let you know the date of the pay period when your investment begins. Visit our website at www.evergreeninvestments.com for more information.

Telephone Investment Plan

You may make additional investments electronically in an existing Fund account at amounts of not less than $100 or more than $10,000 per investment. Telephone requests received by 4 p.m. Eastern time will be invested the day the request is received.

Dividend Exchange

You may elect on the application to reinvest capital gains and/or dividends earned in one Evergreen Fund into an existing account in another Evergreen Fund in the same share class and same registration — automatically. Please indicate on the application the Evergreen Fund(s) into which you want to invest the distributions.

Reinstatement Privileges

Within 90 days of redemption, you may re-establish your investment at the current NAV by reinvesting some, or all, of your redemption proceeds into the same share class of any Evergreen Fund. If a deferred sales charge was deducted from your redemption proceeds, the full amount of the deferred sales charge will be credited to your account at the NAV on the date of reinstatement and your deferred sales charge schedule will resume from the time of the original redemption.

THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF INVESTING
IN THE FUNDS

You may be taxed in two ways:

On Fund distributions (dividends and capital gains).
On any profit you make when you sell any or all of your shares.

Fund Distributions

A mutual fund passes along to all of its shareholders the net income or profits it receives from its investments. The shareholders of the fund then pay any taxes due, whether they receive these distributions in cash or elect to have them reinvested. California Municipal Money Market Fund, Municipal Money Market Fund and New York Municipal Money Market Fund expect that substantially all of their regular dividends will be exempt from federal income tax other than the alternative minimum tax. Otherwise, the Funds will distribute two types of taxable income to you:

Dividends. To the extent that regular dividends are derived from investment income that is not tax-exempt, or from short-term capital gains, you will have to include them in your federal taxable income. Each Fund pays a monthly dividend from the dividends, interest and other income on the securities in which it invests.
Capital Gains. When a mutual fund sells a security it owns for a profit, the result is a capital gain. The Funds generally distribute capital gains, if any, at least once a year, near the end of the calendar year. Short-term capital gains reflect securities held by the Funds for a year or less and are considered ordinary income just like dividends. Profits on securities held longer than 12 months are considered long-term capital gains and are taxed at a special tax rate (20% for most taxpayers). It is not anticipated that any significant capital gains will be realized by the Funds.

Dividend and Capital Gain Reinvestment

Unless you choose otherwise on the account application, all dividends will be reinvested. Distribution checks that are returned and distribution checks that are uncashed when the shareholder has failed to respond to mailings from the shareholder servicing agent will automatically be reinvested. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution or redemption checks. We will send you a statement each January with the federal tax status of dividends and distributions paid by the Fund during the previous calendar year.

Profits You Realize When You Redeem Shares

When you sell shares in a mutual fund, whether by redeeming or exchanging, you have created a taxable event. You must report any gain or loss on your tax return unless the transaction was entered into by a tax-deferred retirement plan. Investments in money market funds typically do not generate capital gains. It is your responsibility to keep accurate records of your mutual fund transactions. You will need this information when you file your income tax return, since you must report any capital gain or loss you incur when you sell shares. Remember, an exchange is a purchase and a sale for tax purposes.

Tax Reporting

Evergreen Service Company, LLC provides you and the IRS with a tax statement of your dividend and capital gains distributions for each calendar year on Form 1099 DIV. Proceeds from a sale are reported on Form 1099B. You must report these on your tax return. You could pay a penalty if you neglect to report them.

Evergreen Service Company, LLC will send you a tax information guide each year during tax season, which may include a cost basis statement detailing the gain or loss on taxable transactions you had during the year. Please consult your own tax advisor for further information regarding the federal, state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Funds.

Retirement Plans

You may invest in an Evergreen Fund through various retirement plans, including IRAs, 401(k) plans, Simplified Employee Plans (SEPs), 403(b) plans, 457 plans and others. For special rules concerning these plans, including applications, restrictions, tax advantages, and potential sales charge waivers, contact your investment professional. To determine if a retirement plan may be appropriate for you, consult your tax advisor.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUNDS

Every mutual fund has fees and expenses that are assessed either directly or indirectly. This section describes each of those fees.

Management Fee

The management fee pays for the normal expenses of managing the Fund, including portfolio manager salaries, research costs, corporate overhead expenses and related expenses.

12b-1 Fees

The Trustees of the Evergreen Funds have approved a policy to assess annual 12b-1 fees of up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. However, currently the 12b-1 fees for Class A shares are limited to 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the class and all or a portion of these fees may be voluntarily waived from time to time. These fees increase the cost of your investment. The purpose of the 12b-1 fees is to promote the sale of more shares of the Fund to the public. The Fund may use 12b-1 fees for advertising and marketing and as a "service fee" to broker-dealers, banks and other financial institutions for additional shareholder services and/or the maintenance of accounts.

Other Expenses

Other expenses include miscellaneous fees from affiliated and outside service providers. These may include legal, audit, custodial and safekeeping fees, the printing and mailing of reports and statements, automatic reinvestment of distributions and other conveniences for which the shareholder pays no transaction fees.

Total Fund Operating Expenses

The total cost of running the Fund is called the expense ratio. As a shareholder, you are not charged these fees directly; instead they are taken out before the Fund’s NAV is calculated, and are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The effect of these fees is reflected in the performance results for that share class. Because these fees are “invisible,” investors should examine them closely in the prospectus, especially when comparing one fund with another fund in the same investment category. There are three things to remember about expense ratios: (i) your total return in the Fund is reduced in direct proportion to the fees; (ii) expense ratios can vary greatly between funds and fund families, from under 0.25% to over 3.00%; and (iii) the Fund’s investment advisor may waive a portion of the Fund’s expenses for a period of time, reducing its expense ratio.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This section looks in detail at the results for one share in Class A of the Funds - how much income it earned, how much of this income was passed along as a distribution and how much the return was reduced by expenses. The following tables have been derived from financial information audited by KPMG LLP, the Funds' independent auditors. For the fiscal years or periods ended prior to January 31, 2000, the tables for Money Market Fund and Municipal Money Market Fund were derived from financial information audited by other accountants. For a more complete picture of the Funds' financial statements, please see the Funds' Annual Report as well as the SAI.

OTHER FUND PRACTICES

Taxable securities in which California Municipal Money Market Fund, Municipal Money Market Fund and New York Municipal Money Market Fund may invest on a short-term basis include obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including repurchase agreements with banks or securities dealers involving such securities; time deposits maturing in not more than seven days; other debt securities rated within the two highest rating categories by any nationally recognized statistical ratings organization; commercial paper rated in the highest grade by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services; and certificates of deposit issued by U.S. branches of U.S. banks with assets of $1 billion or more.

California Municipal Money Market Fund and New York Municipal Money Market Fund do not intend to concentrate their investments in any one industry. However, from time to time, a Fund may invest 25% or more of its assets in municipal securities which are related in such a way that an economic, business or political development or change affecting one such obligation would also affect the others. Two examples of obligations related in this way are (i) an obligation, the interest on which is paid from revenues of similar type projects and (ii) obligations whose issuers are located in the same state.

Please consult the SAI for more information regarding these and other investment practices used by the Funds, including risks.
