Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

The New Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in high quality, short-term municipal securities issued by or on behalf of the State of New Jersey or its agencies, political subdivisions or instrumentalities, or other qualifying issuer, that pay interest that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is excludable from gross income for Federal income tax purposes (but may subject investors to Federal alternative minimum tax) and exempt from any applicable state or local income or other taxes, including New Jersey gross income tax (“New Jersey municipal securities”). The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in New Jersey municipal securities. In addition, the Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in New Jersey municipal securities and other obligations which, in bond counsel’s opinion, are statutorily free from state and local taxation under the laws of New Jersey or the U.S. in order to qualify as a “qualified investment fund” under New Jersey law. The Fund may also invest in repurchase agreements and purchase and sale contracts.

The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.
The securities purchased by the Fund are subject to the quality, diversification and other requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and other rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your investment in the Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the Fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The following is a summary description of principal risks of investing in the Fund.
Credit Risk — Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on both the financial condition of the issuer and the terms of the obligation.
Income Risk — Income risk is the risk that the Fund’s yield will vary as short-term securities in its portfolio mature and the proceeds are reinvested in securities with different interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter-term securities.
  Additionally, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund.
Market Risk and Selection Risk — Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. Selection risk is the risk that the securities selected by Fund management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. This means you may lose money.
Municipal Securities Concentration Risk From time to time, the Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is paid solely from revenues of similar projects. If the Fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the legal and economic risks relating to such projects and this may have a significant impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
Municipal Securities Risks — Municipal securities risks include the ability of the issuer to repay the obligation, the relative lack of information about certain issuers of municipal securities, and the possibility of future legislative changes which could affect the market for and value of municipal securities. Certain municipal securities, including private activity bonds, are not backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the issuer. Additionally, if events occur after the security is acquired that impact the security’s tax-exempt status, the Fund and its shareholders could be subject to substantial tax liabilities.
Non-Diversification Risk — Because the Fund may invest in securities of a smaller number of issuers, it may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer than a fund that invests more widely.
Regulatory Risk — On July 23, 2014, the SEC adopted amendments to money market fund regulations, which structurally change the way that certain money market funds will be required to operate. The compliance periods for the amendments range between July 2015 and October 2016. When implemented, the changes may affect the Fund’s investment strategies, fees and expenses, portfolio and share liquidity and return potential. The Fund is still evaluating its strategy to implement the new regulations.
Repurchase Agreements and Purchase and Sale Contracts Risk — If the other party to a repurchase agreement or purchase and sale contract defaults on its obligation under the agreement, the Fund may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement. If the seller fails to repurchase the security in either situation and the market value of the security declines, the Fund may lose money.
State Specific Risk — The Fund will invest primarily in New Jersey municipal securities. As a result, the Fund is more exposed to risks affecting issuers of New Jersey municipal securities.
3


Taxability Risk — Future laws, regulations, rulings or court decisions may cause interest on tax-exempt or municipal securities to be subject, directly or indirectly, to Federal income taxation or interest on New Jersey municipal securities to be subject to state or local income taxation, or the value of New Jersey municipal securities to be subject to state or local intangible personal property tax, or may otherwise prevent the Fund from realizing the full current benefit of the tax-exempt status of such securities. Any such change could also affect the market price of such securities, and thus the value of an investment in the Fund.
