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 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 operating expenses are as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year $102
3 Years $318
5 Years $552
10 Years $1,225

RISK/RETURN SUMMARY: INVESTMENTS, RISKS and PERFORMANCE

What are the Fund's Main Investment Strategies?

The Fund invests only in a portfolio of short-term U.S. Treasury and government securities that pay interest exempt from state personal income tax.

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 Bank System and Tennessee Valley Authority. 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. Finally, the Fund may invest in government securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities, including the Farm Credit System.

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 (“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 reduce the Fund's returns 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.
  • Issuer Credit Risk. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default on the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which would cause the Fund to lose money.
  • 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.
  • Risks 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. 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.
  • Risks 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, 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.
  • Changing Distribution Levels Risk. 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.

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.

Performance: Bar Chart and Table

Risk/Return Bar Chart

The bar chart and performance table below reflect historical performance data for the Fund and are intended to help you analyze the Fund's investment risks in light of its historical returns. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund's SS class total returns on a calendar year-by-year basis. The Average Annual Total Return Table shows returns averaged over the stated periods, and includes comparative performance information. The Fund's performance will fluctuate, and past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of future results. Updated performance information for the Fund is available under the “Products” section at FederatedInvestors.com or by calling the Fund at 1-800-341-7400.

The Fund's SS class total return for the three-month period from January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2011, was 0.00%.

Within the period shown in the bar chart, the Fund's SS class highest quarterly return was 1.30% (quarter ended March 31, 2001). Its lowest quarterly return was 0.00% (quarter ended March 31, 2010).

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund's Average Annual Total Returns for the calendar periods ended December 31, 2010.

Calendar Period Fund
1 Year 0.01%
5 Years 2.27%
10 Years 2.03%

The Fund's Institutional Service Shares 7-Day Net Yield as of December 31, 2010, was 0.01%. You may call the Fund at 1-800-341-7400 for the current 7-Day Net Yield.

FUND MANAGEMENT

The Fund's Investment Adviser (“Adviser”) is Federated Investment Management Company.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The minimum initial investment amount for the Fund's Institutional Service Shares is generally $25,000 and there is no minimum subsequent investment amount. There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment amount required for employer-sponsored retirement plans.

You may purchase, redeem or exchange Shares of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open. Shares may be purchased through a financial intermediary or directly from the Fund, by wire or by check. Please note that certain purchase restrictions may apply. Redeem or exchange Shares through a financial intermediary or directly from the Fund by telephone at 1-800-341-7400 or by mail.

Tax Information

The Fund's distributions are taxable as ordinary income or capital gains except when your investment is through a 401(k) plan, an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other tax-advantaged investment plan.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

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 only in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury and government securities maturing in 397 days or less that pay interest exempt from state personal income tax. Accordingly, the Fund will not engage in repurchase agreement transactions, or invest in government securities that pay interest subject to state personal income tax, including those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, or the Government National Mortgage Association.

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 different investments 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.

Because the Fund refers to government investments in its name, the SEC requires the Fund to notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policies that would enable the Fund to invest less than 80% of its assets in government investments.

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 types of fixed-income securities in which the Fund invests.

U.S. Treasury Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)

U.S. Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States. U.S. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the lowest credit risks.

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 are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. Other government securities receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. 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 and Tennessee Valley Authority in support of such obligations. A few government securities have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities, including the Farm Credit System.

Investors regard government securities as having low credit risks, but not as low as U.S. Treasury securities.

Callable Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)

Certain U.S. Treasury or government securities in which the Fund invests are callable at the option of the issuer. Callable securities are subject to call risks.

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. 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.

ISSUER CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, the Fund will lose money. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing higher quality securities.

Call Risk

Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

Risks 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.

RISKS 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, 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.

changing distribution levels risk

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.

What Do Shares Cost?

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 New York Stock Exchange (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. Please note that the times that might be specified for NAV determination and dividend entitlement on a Special Trading Day would not necessarily be the same as set forth in this Prospectus with respect to Regular Business Days. Although Federated will attempt to make such information available in advance of a particular Special Trading Day, given the nature of Special Trading Days, it may not be able to do so until the morning of the Special Trading Day.

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.

How is the Fund Sold?

The Fund's Distributor, Federated Securities Corp., markets the Shares described in this Prospectus to institutional investors, such as corporations, unions, hospitals, insurance companies and municipalities or to individuals, directly or through financial intermediaries.

Under the Distributor's Contract with the Fund, the Distributor offers Shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (“Federated”).

Payments to Financial Intermediaries

The Fund and its affiliated service providers may pay fees as described below to financial intermediaries (such as broker-dealers, banks, investment advisers or third-party administrators) whose customers are shareholders of the Fund.

SERVICE FEES

The Fund may pay Service Fees of up to 0.25% of average net assets to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC), a subsidiary of Federated, for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Intermediaries that receive Service Fees may include a company affiliated with management of Federated. If a financial intermediary receives Service Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Account Administration Fees on that same account.

ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATION FEES

The Fund may pay Account Administration Fees of up to 0.25% of average net assets to banks that are not registered as broker-dealers or investment advisers for providing administrative services to the Fund and its shareholders. If a financial intermediary receives Account Administration Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Service Fees or Recordkeeping Fees on that same account.

RECORDKEEPING FEES

The Fund may pay Recordkeeping Fees on an average-net-assets basis or on a per-account-per-year basis to financial intermediaries for providing recordkeeping services to the Fund and its shareholders. If a financial intermediary receives Recordkeeping Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Account Administration Fees or Networking Fees on that same account.

NETWORKING FEES

The Fund may reimburse Networking Fees on a per-account-per-year basis to financial intermediaries for providing administrative services to the Fund and its shareholders on certain non-omnibus accounts. If a financial intermediary receives Networking Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Recordkeeping Fees on that same account.

ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

The Distributor may pay, out of its own resources, amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries that support the sale of Shares or provide services to Fund shareholders. The amounts of these payments could be significant, and may create an incentive for the financial intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell Shares of the Fund to you. In some cases, such payments may be made by or funded from the resources of companies affiliated with the Distributor (including the Adviser). These payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table section of the Fund's Prospectus and described above because they are not paid by the Fund.

These payments are negotiated and may be based on such factors as: the number or value of Shares that the financial intermediary sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; or the type and nature of services or support furnished by the financial intermediary. These payments may be in addition to payments, as described above, made by the Fund to the financial intermediary. In connection with these payments, the financial intermediary may elevate the prominence or profile of the Fund and/or other Federated funds within the financial intermediary's organization by, for example, placement on a list of preferred or recommended funds and/or granting the Distributor preferential or enhanced opportunities to promote the funds in various ways within the financial intermediary's organization. You can ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor or the Fund and any services provided.

How to Purchase Shares

You may purchase Shares through a financial intermediary, directly from the Fund or through an exchange from another Federated fund. The Fund reserves the right to reject any request to purchase or exchange Shares. New investors must submit a completed New Account Form.

The required minimum initial investment for Fund Shares is $25,000. There is no required minimum subsequent investment amount. There is no minimum initial or subsequent amount required for employer-sponsored retirement plans; however, such accounts remain subject to the Fund's policy on “Accounts with Low Balances” as discussed later in this Prospectus.

An account may be opened with a smaller amount as long as the $25,000 minimum is reached within 90 days. An institutional investor's minimum investment is calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the Fund. Financial intermediaries may impose higher or lower minimum investment requirements on their customers than those imposed by the Fund. Keep in mind that financial intermediaries may charge you fees for their services in connection with your Share transactions.

THROUGH A FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY

Submit your purchase order to your financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries are responsible for promptly submitting purchase orders and payment to the Fund by electronic means permitted by the Fund, or according to the instructions in the sections “By Telephone” or “By Mail” below.

If your financial intermediary submits your order electronically, your order will be processed and you will be entitled to dividends pursuant to operating procedures established by the Fund. If your financial intermediary submits your order by telephone or by mail, your order will be processed and you will be entitled to dividends as outlined in the section “By Telephone” or the section “By Mail” below.

If you deal with a financial intermediary, you will have to follow the financial intermediary's procedures for transacting with the Fund. For more information about how to purchase Shares through your financial intermediary, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

DIRECTLY FROM THE FUND

By Telephone

You may purchase Shares by calling the Fund at 1-800-341-7400.

Your purchase will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your order. Receipt of a purchase order by a financial intermediary will be deemed received by the Fund to the extent that such financial intermediary has been duly authorized by the Fund to accept such orders. If you call the Fund by 2:00 p.m. Eastern time and send your payment by wire by the close of the Federal Reserve wire transfer system, you will be entitled to that day's dividend.

Send your wire to:

State Street Bank and Trust Company
Boston, MA
Dollar Amount of Wire
ABA Number 011000028
BNF: 23026552
Attention: Federated EDGEWIRE
Wire Order Number, Dealer Number or Group Number
Nominee/Institution Name
Fund Name and Number and Account Number

If the Fund does not receive your purchase wire by the close of the Federal Reserve wire transfer system on the day you placed your order, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees incurred by the Fund or State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund's transfer agent.

You cannot purchase Shares by wire on days when wire transfers are restricted, even if the NYSE is open on such days (for example, Columbus Day and Veterans Day). The Fund does not consider wire purchase requests received on such days to be in proper form, and will not process such requests.

By Mail

You may purchase Shares by sending your check payable to The Federated Funds at the following address:

The Federated Funds
P.O. Box 8600
Boston, MA 02266-8600

If you send your check by a private courier or overnight delivery service that requires a street address, send it to:

The Federated Funds
30 Dan Road
Canton, MA 02021

Please note your account number on your check. Payment should be made in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank. If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees incurred by the Fund or State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund's transfer agent. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. For example, to protect against check fraud the Fund may reject any purchase request involving a check that is not made payable to The Federated Funds (including, but not limited to, requests to purchase Shares using third-party checks) or involving temporary checks or credit card checks.

Your order will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your check and you will be entitled to dividends beginning on the day the check is converted into federal funds (normally the business day after the check is received).

THROUGH AN EXCHANGE

You may purchase Shares through an exchange from any Federated fund or share class that does not have a stated sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge, except Federated Liberty U.S. Government Money Market Trust and R class. You must meet the minimum initial investment requirement for purchasing Shares (if applicable), and both accounts must have identical registrations.

BY AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE (ACH)

Once you have opened an account, you may purchase additional Shares through a depository institution that is an ACH member. This purchase option can be established by completing the appropriate sections of the New Account Form.

How to Redeem and Exchange Shares

You should redeem or exchange Shares:

  • through a financial intermediary if you purchased Shares through a financial intermediary; or
  • directly from the Fund if you purchased Shares directly from the Fund.

THROUGH A FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY

Submit your redemption or exchange request to your financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries are responsible for promptly submitting redemption or exchange requests to the Fund by electronic means permitted by the Fund, or according to the instructions in the sections “By Telephone” or “By Mail” below.

If your financial intermediary submits your redemption or exchange request electronically, your request will be processed and your proceeds will be paid pursuant to operating procedures established by the Fund. If your financial intermediary submits your redemption or exchange request by telephone or by mail, your request will be processed and your proceeds will be paid as outlined in the section “By Telephone” or the section “By Mail” below.

If you deal with a financial intermediary, you will have to follow the financial intermediary's procedures for transacting with the Fund. For more information about how to redeem or exchange Shares through your financial intermediary, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

DIRECTLY FROM THE FUND

If you call the Fund by 2:00 p.m. Eastern time and your redemption proceeds are wired to you the same day, you will not be entitled to that day's dividend.

If you call the Fund after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time and before the end of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE, you will be entitled to that day's dividend and your redemption proceeds will be sent to you the following business day.

By Mail

You may redeem or exchange Shares by mailing a written request to the Fund.

Your redemption or exchange request will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your written request in proper form. If your redemption proceeds are wired to you the same day your order is priced, you will not be entitled to that day's dividend. If a check for your redemption proceeds is mailed to you on the next business day after your request is priced, you will be entitled to dividends through the day on which the Fund priced your request.

The following payment options are available if you complete the appropriate section of the New Account Form or an Account Service Options Form. These payment options require a signature guarantee if they were not established when the account was opened:

  • an electronic transfer to your account at a financial institution that is an ACH member; or
  • wire payment to your account at a domestic commercial bank that is a Federal Reserve System member.

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.

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.

If you request a redemption of Shares recently purchased by check (including a cashier's check or certified check), money order, bank draft or ACH, your redemption proceeds may not be made available for up to seven calendar days to allow the Fund to collect payment on the instrument used to purchase such Shares. If the purchase instrument does not clear, your purchase order will be canceled and you will be responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund as a result of your canceled order.

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.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

You may exchange Shares of the Fund for shares of any Federated fund or share class that does not have a stated sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge, except Federated Liberty U.S. Government Money Market Trust and R class. To do this, you must:

  • ensure that the account registrations are identical;
  • meet any applicable minimum initial investment requirements; and
  • receive a Prospectus for the fund into which you wish to exchange.

An exchange is treated as a redemption and a subsequent purchase, and is a taxable transaction. The Fund may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time.

CHECKWRITING

You may request checks to redeem your Fund Shares. Your account will continue to receive the daily dividend declared on the Shares being redeemed until the check is presented for payment.

DEBIT CARD

You may request a debit card account that allows you to redeem Shares. There is an annual fee for this service that the Fund will automatically deduct from your account.

ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

Telephone Transactions

The Fund will record your telephone instructions. If the Fund does not follow reasonable procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.

Share Certificates

The Fund no longer issues share certificates. If you are redeeming or exchanging Shares represented by certificates previously issued by the Fund, you must return the certificates with your written redemption or exchange request. For your protection, send your certificates by registered or certified mail, but do not endorse them.

Account and Share Information

ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

You will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including dividends paid by the Fund.

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, unless you elect cash payments. Dividends may also be reinvested without sales charges in shares of any class of any other Federated fund of which you are already a shareholder.

If you have elected to receive dividends and/or capital gain distributions in cash, and your check is returned by the postal or other delivery service as “undeliverable,” or you do not respond to mailings from Federated with regard to uncashed distribution checks, your distribution option will automatically be converted to having all dividends and capital gains reinvested in additional Shares. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Important information regarding the Fund's distributions, including the percentage of the Fund's distributions that are attributable to capital gains during the calendar year (if any), is available in the “Products” section of Federated's website at FederatedInvestors.com. To access this information from the homepage, select “View All” next to “Find Products.” Select the Fund name and share class, if applicable, to go to the Fund Overview page. On the Fund Overview page, select the “Tax Information” tab. On the “Tax Information” tab, select a year.

ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES

Federated reserves the right to close accounts if redemptions or exchanges cause the account balance to fall below $25,000. Before an account is closed, you will be notified and allowed at least 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum.

TAX INFORMATION

The Fund 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 on 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 and exchanges 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.

Other funds in the Federated family of funds may impose different monitoring policies or in some cases, may not monitor for frequent or short-term trading. Under normal market conditions, such monitoring policies are designed to protect the funds being monitored and their shareholders, and the operation of such policies and shareholder investments under such monitoring are not expected to have materially adverse impact on the Federated funds or their shareholders. If you plan to exchange your fund shares for shares of another Federated fund, please read the prospectus of that other Federated fund for more information.

Who Manages the Fund?

The Board governs the Fund. The Board selects and oversees the Adviser, Federated Investment Management Company.

The Adviser advises approximately 111 fixed-income and money market mutual funds (including sub-advised funds) and private investment companies, which totaled approximately $259.5 billion in assets as of December 31, 2010.

ADVISORY FEES

The Fund's investment advisory contract provides for payment to the Adviser of an annual investment advisory fee of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily waive a portion of its fee or reimburse the Fund for certain operating expenses. The Adviser and its affiliates have also agreed to certain “Fee Limits” as described in the footnote to the “Risk/Return Summary: Fees and Expenses” table found in the “Fund Summary” section of the Prospectus.

A discussion of the Board's review of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's shareholder reports as they are produced.

Appendix A: Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information

The following chart provides 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. The 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. The 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 ratio used in the chart is 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.

Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year $76
3 Years $237
5 Years $411
10 Years $918

RISK/RETURN SUMMARY: INVESTMENTS, RISKS and PERFORMANCE

What are the Fund's Main Investment Strategies?

The Fund invests only in a portfolio of short-term U.S. Treasury securities that pay interest exempt from state personal income tax.

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 (“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 reduce the Fund's returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risk. Prices of U.S. Treasury securities generally fall when interest rates rise. Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of U.S. Treasury securities with longer maturities.
  • Risks 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 yield of the securities purchased is less than that of the securities already in the Fund's portfolio, or if the Fund holds cash, 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. 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.
  • Risks 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, 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.
  • Changing Distribution Levels Risk. 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.

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.

Performance: Bar Chart and Table

Risk/Return Bar Chart

The bar chart and performance table below reflect historical performance data for the Fund and are intended to help you analyze the Fund's investment risks in light of its historical returns. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund's IS class total returns on a calendar year-by-year basis. The Average Annual Total Return table shows returns averaged over the stated periods, and includes comparative performance information. The Fund's performance will fluctuate, and past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of future results. Updated performance information for the Fund is available under the “Products” section at FederatedInvestors.com or by calling 1-800-341-7400.

The Fund's IS class total return for the three-month period from January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2011, was 0.00%.

Within the period shown in the bar chart, the Fund's IS class highest quarterly return was 1.36% (quarter ended March 31, 2001). Its lowest quarterly return was 0.00% (quarter ended March 31, 2010).

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund's Average Annual Total Returns for the calendar period ended December 31, 2010.

Calendar Period Fund
1 Year 0.00%
5 Years 2.10%
10 Years 2.07%

The Fund's 7-Day Net Yield as of December 31, 2010, was 0.01%. You may call the Fund at 1-800-341-7400 for the current 7-Day Net Yield.

FUND MANAGEMENT

The Fund's Investment Adviser (“Adviser”) is Federated Investment Management Company.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The minimum initial investment amount for the Fund's Institutional Shares is generally $25,000 and there is no minimum subsequent investment amount. There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment amount required for employer-sponsored retirement plans.

You may purchase, redeem or exchange Shares of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open. Shares may be purchased through a financial intermediary or directly from the Fund, by wire or by check. Please note that certain purchase restrictions may apply. Redeem or exchange Shares through a financial intermediary or directly from the Fund by telephone at 1-800-341-7400 or by mail.

Tax Information

The Fund's distributions are taxable as ordinary income or capital gains except when your investment is through a 401(k) plan, an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other tax-advantaged investment plan.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

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 only in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities maturing in 397 days or less that pay interest exempt from state personal income tax.

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 different investments 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.

Because the Fund refers to U.S. Treasury investments in its name, the SEC requires the Fund to notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policies that would enable the Fund to invest less than 80% of its assets in U.S. Treasury investments.

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.

U.S. Treasury Securities

U.S. Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States. U.S. Treasury 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 U.S. Treasury must repay the principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. U.S. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the lowest credit risks.

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. 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 U.S. Treasury securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of U.S. Treasury securities fall.

Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of U.S. Treasury securities with longer maturities. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing short-term U.S. Treasury securities.

RISKS 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.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USE OF AMORTIZED COST

In the unlikely event that the Fund's Board were to determine, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, 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.

changing distribution levels risk

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.

What Do Shares Cost?

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 New York Stock Exchange (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. Please note that the times that might be specified for NAV determination and dividend entitlement on a Special Trading Day would not necessarily be the same as set forth in this Prospectus with respect to Regular Business Days. Although Federated will attempt to make such information available in advance of a particular Special Trading Day, given the nature of Special Trading Days, it may not be able to do so until the morning of the Special Trading Day.

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.

How is the Fund Sold?

The Fund offers two Share classes: Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares, each representing interests in a single portfolio of securities. Effective September 30, 2011, the Fund's Institutional Service Shares will be redesignated as Service Shares. This Prospectus relates only to Institutional Shares. All Share classes have different expenses which affect their performance. Contact your financial intermediary or call 1-800-341-7400 for more information concerning the other class.

The Fund's Distributor, Federated Securities Corp., markets the Shares described in this Prospectus to institutional investors, such as banks, fiduciaries, custodians of public funds, corporations, unions, hospitals, insurance companies and municipalities, or to individuals, directly or through financial intermediaries. Under the Distributor's Contract with the Fund, the Distributor offers Shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (“Federated”).

Payments to Financial Intermediaries

The Fund and its affiliated service providers may pay fees as described below to financial intermediaries (such as broker-dealers, banks, investment advisers or third-party administrators) whose customers are shareholders of the Fund.

SERVICE FEES

The Fund may pay Service Fees of up to 0.25% of average net assets to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC), a subsidiary of Federated, for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Intermediaries that receive Service Fees may include a company affiliated with management of Federated. If a financial intermediary receives Service Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Account Administration Fees on that same account.

ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATION FEES

The Fund may pay Account Administration Fees of up to 0.25% of average net assets to banks that are not registered as broker-dealers or investment advisers for providing administrative services to the Fund and its shareholders. If a financial intermediary receives Account Administration Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Service Fees or Recordkeeping Fees on that same account.

RECORDKEEPING FEES

The Fund may pay Recordkeeping Fees on an average-net-assets basis or on a per-account-per-year basis to financial intermediaries for providing recordkeeping services to the Fund and its shareholders. If a financial intermediary receives Recordkeeping Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Account Administration Fees or Networking Fees on that same account.

NETWORKING FEES

The Fund may reimburse Networking Fees on a per-account-per-year basis to financial intermediaries for providing administrative services to the Fund and its shareholders on certain non-omnibus accounts. If a financial intermediary receives Networking Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Recordkeeping Fees on that same account.

ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

The Distributor may pay, out of its own resources, amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries that support the sale of Shares or provide services to Fund shareholders. The amounts of these payments could be significant, and may create an incentive for the financial intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell Shares of the Fund to you. In some cases, such payments may be made by or funded from the resources of companies affiliated with the Distributor (including the Adviser). These payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table section of the Fund's Prospectus and described above because they are not paid by the Fund.

These payments are negotiated and may be based on such factors as: the number or value of Shares that the financial intermediary sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; or the type and nature of services or support furnished by the financial intermediary. These payments may be in addition to payments, as described above, made by the Fund to the financial intermediary. In connection with these payments, the financial intermediary may elevate the prominence or profile of the Fund and/or other Federated funds within the financial intermediary's organization by, for example, placement on a list of preferred or recommended funds and/or granting the Distributor preferential or enhanced opportunities to promote the funds in various ways within the financial intermediary's organization. You can ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor or the Fund and any services provided.

How to Purchase Shares

You may purchase Shares through a financial intermediary, directly from the Fund or through an exchange from another Federated fund. The Fund reserves the right to reject any request to purchase or exchange Shares. New investors must submit a completed New Account Form.

The required minimum initial investment for Fund Shares is $25,000. There is no required minimum subsequent investment amount. There is no minimum initial or subsequent amount required for employer-sponsored retirement plans; however, such accounts remain subject to the Fund's policy on “Accounts with Low Balances” as discussed later in this Prospectus.

An account may be opened with a smaller amount as long as the $25,000 minimum is reached within 90 days. An institutional investor's minimum investment is calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the Fund. Financial intermediaries may impose higher or lower minimum investment requirements on their customers than those imposed by the Fund. Keep in mind that financial intermediaries may charge you fees for their services in connection with your Share transactions.

THROUGH A FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY

Submit your purchase order to your financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries are responsible for promptly submitting purchase orders and payment to the Fund by electronic means permitted by the Fund, or according to the instructions in the sections “By Telephone” or “By Mail” below.

If your financial intermediary submits your order electronically, your order will be processed and you will be entitled to dividends pursuant to operating procedures established by the Fund. If your financial intermediary submits your order by telephone or by mail, your order will be processed and you will be entitled to dividends as outlined in the section “By Telephone” or the section “By Mail” below.

If you deal with a financial intermediary, you will have to follow the financial intermediary's procedures for transacting with the Fund. For more information about how to purchase Shares through your financial intermediary, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

DIRECTLY FROM THE FUND

By Telephone

You may purchase Shares by calling the Fund at 1-800-341-7400.

Your purchase will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your order. Receipt of a purchase order by a financial intermediary will be deemed received by the Fund to the extent that such financial intermediary has been duly authorized by the Fund to accept such orders. If you call the Fund by 2:00 p.m. Eastern time and send your payment by wire by the close of the Federal Reserve wire transfer system, you will be entitled to that day's dividend.

Send your wire to:

State Street Bank and Trust Company
Boston, MA
Dollar Amount of Wire
ABA Number 011000028
BNF: 23026552
Attention: Federated EDGEWIRE
Wire Order Number, Dealer Number or Group Number
Nominee/Institution Name
Fund Name and Number and Account Number

If the Fund does not receive your purchase wire by the close of the Federal Reserve wire transfer system on the day you placed your order, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees incurred by the Fund or State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund's transfer agent.

You cannot purchase Shares by wire on days when wire transfers are restricted, even if the NYSE is open on such days (for example, Columbus Day and Veterans Day). The Fund does not consider wire purchase requests received on such days to be in proper form, and will not process such requests.

By Mail

You may purchase Shares by sending your check payable to The Federated Funds at the following address:

The Federated Funds
P.O. Box 8600
Boston, MA 02266-8600

If you send your check by a private courier or overnight delivery service that requires a street address, send it to:

The Federated Funds
30 Dan Road
Canton, MA 02021

Please note your account number on your check. Payment should be made in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank. If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees incurred by the Fund or State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund's transfer agent. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. For example, to protect against check fraud the Fund may reject any purchase request involving a check that is not made payable to The Federated Funds (including, but not limited to, requests to purchase Shares using third-party checks) or involving temporary checks or credit card checks.

Your order will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your check and you will be entitled to dividends beginning on the day the check is converted into federal funds (normally the business day after the check is received).

THROUGH AN EXCHANGE

You may purchase Shares through an exchange from any Federated fund or share class that does not have a stated sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge, except Federated Liberty U.S. Government Money Market Trust and R class. You must meet the minimum initial investment requirement for purchasing Shares (if applicable), and both accounts must have identical registrations.

BY AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE (ACH)

Once you have opened an account, you may purchase additional Shares through a depository institution that is an ACH member. This purchase option can be established by completing the appropriate sections of the New Account Form.

How to Redeem and Exchange Shares

You should redeem or exchange Shares:

  • through a financial intermediary if you purchased Shares through a financial intermediary; or
  • directly from the Fund if you purchased Shares directly from the Fund.

THROUGH A FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY

Submit your redemption or exchange request to your financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries are responsible for promptly submitting redemption or exchange requests to the Fund by electronic means permitted by the Fund, or according to the instructions in the sections “By Telephone” or “By Mail” below.

If your financial intermediary submits your redemption or exchange request electronically, your request will be processed and your proceeds will be paid pursuant to operating procedures established by the Fund. If your financial intermediary submits your redemption or exchange request by telephone or by mail, your request will be processed and your proceeds will be paid as outlined in the section “By Telephone” or the section “By Mail” below.

If you deal with a financial intermediary, you will have to follow the financial intermediary's procedures for transacting with the Fund. For more information about how to redeem or exchange Shares through your financial intermediary, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

DIRECTLY FROM THE FUND

By Telephone

You may redeem or exchange Shares by calling the Fund at 1-800-341-7400. Your redemption or exchange request will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the request is received by the Fund. Receipt of a redemption or exchange order by a financial intermediary will be deemed received by the Fund to the extent that such financial intermediary has been duly authorized by the Fund to accept such orders.

If you call the Fund by 2:00 p.m. Eastern time and your redemption proceeds are wired to you the same day, you will not be entitled to that day's dividend.

If you call the Fund after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time and before the end of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE, you will be entitled to that day's dividend and your redemption proceeds will be sent to you the following business day.

By Mail

You may redeem or exchange Shares by mailing a written request to the Fund.

Your redemption or exchange request will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your written request in proper form. If your redemption proceeds are wired to you the same day your order is priced, you will not be entitled to that day's dividend. If a check for your redemption proceeds is mailed to you on the next business day after your request is priced, you will be entitled to dividends through the day on which the Fund priced your request.

Send requests by mail to:

The Federated Funds
P.O. Box 8600
Boston, MA 02266-8600

Send requests by private courier or overnight delivery service to:

The Federated Funds
30 Dan Road
Canton, MA 02021

All requests must include:

  • Fund Name and Share Class, account number and account registration;
  • amount to be redeemed or exchanged;
  • signatures of all shareholders exactly as registered; and
  • if exchanging, the Fund Name and Share Class, account number and account registration into which you are exchanging.

Call your financial intermediary or the Fund if you need special instructions.

Signature Guarantees

Signatures must be guaranteed by a financial institution which is a participant in a Medallion signature guarantee program if:

  • your redemption will be sent to an address other than the address of record;
  • your redemption will be sent to an address of record that was changed within the last 30 days;
  • a redemption is payable to someone other than the shareholder(s) of record; or
  • transferring into another fund with a different shareholder registration.

A Medallion signature guarantee is designed to protect your account from fraud. Obtain a Medallion signature guarantee from a bank or trust company, savings association, credit union or broker, dealer or securities exchange member. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

PAYMENT METHODS FOR REDEMPTIONS

Your redemption proceeds will be mailed by check to your address of record. The following payment options are available if you complete the appropriate section of the New Account Form or an Account Service Options Form. These payment options require a signature guarantee if they were not established when the account was opened:

  • an electronic transfer to your account at a financial institution that is an ACH member; or
  • wire payment to your account at a domestic commercial bank that is a Federal Reserve System member.

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.

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.

If you request a redemption of Shares recently purchased by check (including a cashier's check or certified check), money order, bank draft or ACH, your redemption proceeds may not be made available for up to seven calendar days to allow the Fund to collect payment on the instrument used to purchase such Shares. If the purchase instrument does not clear, your purchase order will be canceled and you will be responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund as a result of your canceled order.

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.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

You may exchange Shares of the Fund for shares of any Federated fund or share class that does not have a stated sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge, except Federated Liberty U.S. Government Money Market Trust and R class. To do this, you must:

  • ensure that the account registrations are identical;
  • meet any applicable minimum initial investment requirements; and
  • receive a Prospectus for the fund into which you wish to exchange.

An exchange is treated as a redemption and a subsequent purchase, and is a taxable transaction. The Fund may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time.

ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

Telephone Transactions

The Fund will record your telephone instructions. If the Fund does not follow reasonable procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.

Share Certificates

The Fund no longer issues share certificates. If you are redeeming or exchanging Shares represented by certificates previously issued by the Fund, you must return the certificates with your written redemption or exchange request. For your protection, send your certificates by registered or certified mail, but do not endorse them.

Account and Share Information

ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

You will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including dividends paid by the Fund.

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, unless you elect cash payments. Dividends may also be reinvested without sales charges in shares of any class of any other Federated fund of which you are already a shareholder.

If you have elected to receive dividends and/or capital gain distributions in cash, and your check is returned by the postal or other delivery service as “undeliverable,” or you do not respond to mailings from Federated with regard to uncashed distribution checks, your distribution option will automatically be converted to having all dividends and capital gains reinvested in additional Shares. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Important information regarding the Fund's distributions, including the percentage of the Fund's distributions that are attributable to capital gains during the calendar year (if any), is available in the “Products” section of Federated's website at FederatedInvestors.com. To access this information from the homepage, select “View All” next to “Find Products.” Select the Fund name and share class, if applicable, to go to the Fund Overview page. On the Fund Overview page, select the “Tax Information” tab. On the “Tax Information” tab, select a year.

ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES

Federated reserves the right to close accounts if redemptions or exchanges cause the account balance to fall below $25,000. Before an account is closed, you will be notified and allowed at least 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum.

TAX INFORMATION

The Fund 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 on 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 and exchanges 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.

Other funds in the Federated family of funds may impose different monitoring policies or in some cases, may not monitor for frequent or short-term trading. Under normal market conditions, such monitoring policies are designed to protect the funds being monitored and their shareholders, and the operation of such policies and shareholder investments under such monitoring are not expected to have materially adverse impact on the Federated funds or their shareholders. If you plan to exchange your fund shares for shares of another Federated fund, please read the prospectus of that other Federated fund for more information.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION

Information concerning the Fund's portfolio holdings as of the end of each month, as well as the Fund's DWAM and WAL, is available in the “Products” section of Federated's website at FederatedInvestors.com. Such information is posted on the website five business days after the end of the month and remains posted on the website for at least a year. Summary portfolio composition

information as of the close of each month is posted on the website 15 days (or the next business day) after month-end and remains for at least a year. The summary portfolio composition information may include effective average portfolio maturity and percentage breakdowns of the portfolio by credit quality tier, effective maturity range and type of security.

To access this information from the “Products” section of the website's home page, select “View All” next to “Find Products.” Select the Fund name and share class, if applicable, to go to the Fund Overview page. On the Fund Overview page, select the “Portfolio Characteristics” tab for summary portfolio information or the “Documents” tab to access “Holdings.”

You may also access portfolio information as of the end of the Fund's fiscal quarters from the “Documents” tab. The Fund's Annual and Semi-Annual Reports contain complete listings of the Fund's portfolio holdings as of the end of the Fund's second and fourth fiscal quarters. The Fund's Form N-Q filings contain complete listings of the Fund's portfolio holdings as of the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Fiscal quarter information is made available on the website within 70 days after the end of the fiscal quarter. This information is also 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 Federated's website. If and when such information is posted, its availability will be noted on, and the information will be accessible from, the home page of the website.

Who Manages the Fund?

The Board governs the Fund. The Board selects and oversees the Adviser, Federated Investment Management Company. The Adviser manages the Fund's assets, including buying and selling portfolio securities. Federated Advisory Services Company (FASC), an affiliate of the Adviser, provides certain support services to the Adviser. The fee for these services is paid by the Adviser and not by the Fund.

The address of the Adviser and FASC is Federated Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779.

The Adviser and other subsidiaries of Federated advise approximately 136 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 funds) which totaled approximately $358.2 billion in assets as of December 31, 2010. Federated was established in 1955 and is one of the largest investment managers in the United States with approximately 1,334 employees. Federated provides investment products to approximately 5,000 investment professionals and institutions.

The Adviser advises approximately 111 fixed-income and money market mutual funds (including sub-advised funds) and private investment companies, which totaled approximately $259.5 billion in assets as of December 31, 2010.

ADVISORY FEES

The Fund's investment advisory contract provides for payment to the Adviser of an annual investment advisory fee of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily waive a portion of its fee or reimburse the Fund for certain operating expenses. The Adviser and its affiliates have also agreed to certain “Fee Limits” as described in the footnote to the “Risk/Return Summary: Fee and Expenses” table found in the “Fund Summary” section of the Prospectus.

A discussion of the Board's review of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's shareholder reports as they are produced.

Financial Information

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights will help you understand the Fund's financial performance for its past five fiscal years. Some of the information is presented on a per Share basis. Total returns represent the rate an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains.

Appendix A: Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information

The following chart provides 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. The 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. The 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 ratio used in the chart is 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.

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 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 operating expenses are as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year $101
3 Years $315
5 Years $547
10 Years $1,213

RISK/RETURN SUMMARY: INVESTMENTS, RISKS and PERFORMANCE

What are the Fund's Main Investment Strategies?

The Fund invests only in a portfolio of short-term U.S. Treasury securities that pay interest exempt from state personal income tax.

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 (“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 reduce the Fund's returns include:

  • Interest Rate Risk. Prices of U.S. Treasury securities generally fall when interest rates rise. Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of U.S. Treasury securities with longer maturities.
  • Risks 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 yield of the securities purchased is less than that of the securities already in the Fund's portfolio, or if the Fund holds cash, 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. 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.
  • Risks 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, 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.
  • Changing Distribution Levels Risk. 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.

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.

Performance: Bar Chart and Table

Risk/Return Bar Chart

The bar chart and performance table below reflect historical performance data for the Fund and are intended to help you analyze the Fund's investment risks in light of its historical returns. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund's SS class total returns on a calendar year-by-year basis. The Average Annual Total Return table shows returns averaged over the stated periods, and includes comparative performance information. The Fund's performance will fluctuate, and past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of future results. Updated performance information for the Fund is available under the “Products” section at FederatedInvestors.com or by calling 1-800-341-7400.

The Fund's SS class total return for the three-month period from January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2011, was 0.00%.

Within the period shown in the bar chart, the Fund's SS class highest quarterly return was 1.30% (quarter ended March 31, 2001). Its lowest quarterly return was 0.00% (quarter ended March 31, 2010).

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund's Average Annual Total Returns for the calendar period ended December 31, 2010.

Calendar Period Fund
1 Year 0.00%
5 Years 1.95%
10 Years 1.87%

The Fund's 7-Day Net Yield as of December 31, 2010, was 0.01%. You may call the Fund at 1-800-341-7400 for the current 7-Day Net Yield.

FUND MANAGEMENT

The Fund's Investment Adviser (“Adviser”) is Federated Investment Management Company.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The minimum initial investment amount for the Fund's Institutional Service Shares is generally $25,000 and there is no minimum subsequent investment amount. There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment amount required for employer-sponsored retirement plans.

You may purchase, redeem or exchange Shares of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open. Shares may be purchased through a financial intermediary or directly from the Fund, by wire or by check. Please note that certain purchase restrictions may apply. Redeem or exchange Shares through a financial intermediary or directly from the Fund by telephone at 1-800-341-7400 or by mail.

Tax Information

The Fund's distributions are taxable as ordinary income or capital gains except when your investment is through a 401(k) plan, an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other tax-advantaged investment plan.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

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 only in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities maturing in 397 days or less that pay interest exempt from state personal income tax.

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 different investments 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.

Because the Fund refers to U.S. Treasury investments in its name, the SEC requires the Fund to notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policies that would enable the Fund to invest less than 80% of its assets in U.S. Treasury investments.

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.

U.S. Treasury Securities

U.S. Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States. U.S. Treasury 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 U.S. Treasury must repay the principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. U.S. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the lowest credit risks.

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. 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 U.S. Treasury securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of U.S. Treasury securities fall.

Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of U.S. Treasury securities with longer maturities. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing short-term U.S. Treasury securities.

RISKS 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.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USE OF AMORTIZED COST

In the unlikely event that the Fund's Board were to determine, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, 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.

changing distribution levels risk

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.

What Do Shares Cost?

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 New York Stock Exchange (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. Please note that the times that might be specified for NAV determination and dividend entitlement on a Special Trading Day would not necessarily be the same as set forth in this Prospectus with respect to Regular Business Days. Although Federated will attempt to make such information available in advance of a particular Special Trading Day, given the nature of Special Trading Days, it may not be able to do so until the morning of the Special Trading Day.

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.

How is the Fund Sold?

The Fund offers two Share classes: Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares, each representing interests in a single portfolio of securities. This Prospectus relates only to Institutional Service Shares. All Share classes have different expenses which affect their performance. Contact your financial intermediary or call 1-800-341-7400 for more information concerning the other class.

The Fund's Distributor, Federated Securities Corp., markets the Shares described in this Prospectus to accounts for which financial institutions act in an agency or fiduciary capacity or to individuals, directly or through financial intermediaries. Under the Distributor's Contract with the Fund, the Distributor offers Shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (“Federated”).

Payments to Financial Intermediaries

The Fund and its affiliated service providers may pay fees as described below to financial intermediaries (such as broker-dealers, banks, investment advisers or third-party administrators) whose customers are shareholders of the Fund.

RULE 12b-1 FEES

The Board has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Plan, which allows payment of marketing fees of up to 0.25% of average net assets to the Distributor for the sale, distribution, administration and customer servicing of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares. When the Distributor receives Rule 12b-1 Fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase Shares. The Fund's Institutional Service Shares have no present intention of paying or accruing a Rule 12b-1 Fee during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012. Because these Shares pay marketing fees on an ongoing basis, your investment cost may be higher over time than other shares with different marketing fees.

SERVICE FEES

The Fund may pay Service Fees of up to 0.25% of average net assets to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC), a subsidiary of Federated, for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Intermediaries that receive Service Fees may include a company affiliated with management of Federated. If a financial intermediary receives Service Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Account Administration Fees on that same account.

ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATION FEES

The Fund may pay Account Administration Fees of up to 0.25% of average net assets to banks that are not registered as broker-dealers or investment advisers for providing administrative services to the Fund and its shareholders. If a financial intermediary receives Account Administration Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Service Fees or Recordkeeping Fees on that same account.

RECORDKEEPING FEES

The Fund may pay Recordkeeping Fees on an average-net-assets basis or on a per-account-per-year basis to financial intermediaries for providing recordkeeping services to the Fund and its shareholders. If a financial intermediary receives Recordkeeping Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Account Administration Fees or Networking Fees on that same account.

NETWORKING FEES

The Fund may reimburse Networking Fees on a per-account-per-year basis to financial intermediaries for providing administrative services to the Fund and its shareholders on certain non-omnibus accounts. If a financial intermediary receives Networking Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Recordkeeping Fees on that same account.

ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

The Distributor may pay, out of its own resources, amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries that support the sale of Shares or provide services to Fund shareholders. The amounts of these payments could be significant, and may create an incentive for the financial intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell Shares of the Fund to you. In some cases, such payments may be made by or funded from the resources of companies affiliated with the Distributor (including the Adviser). These payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table section of the Fund's Prospectus and described above because they are not paid by the Fund.

These payments are negotiated and may be based on such factors as: the number or value of Shares that the financial intermediary sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; or the type and nature of services or support furnished by the financial intermediary. These payments may be in addition to payments, as described above, made by the Fund to the financial intermediary. In connection with these payments, the financial intermediary may elevate the prominence or profile of the Fund and/or other Federated funds within the financial intermediary's organization by, for example, placement on a list of preferred or recommended funds and/or granting the Distributor preferential or enhanced opportunities to promote the funds in various ways within the financial intermediary's organization. You can ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor or the Fund and any services provided.

How to Purchase Shares

You may purchase Shares through a financial intermediary, directly from the Fund or through an exchange from another Federated fund. The Fund reserves the right to reject any request to purchase or exchange Shares. New investors must submit a completed New Account Form.

The required minimum initial investment for Fund Shares is $25,000. There is no required minimum subsequent investment amount. There is no minimum initial or subsequent amount required for employer-sponsored retirement plans; however, such accounts remain subject to the Fund's policy on “Accounts with Low Balances” as discussed later in this Prospectus.

An account may be opened with a smaller amount as long as the $25,000 minimum is reached within 90 days. An institutional investor's minimum investment is calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the Fund. Financial intermediaries may impose higher or lower minimum investment requirements on their customers than those imposed by the Fund. Keep in mind that financial intermediaries may charge you fees for their services in connection with your Share transactions.

THROUGH A FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY

Submit your purchase order to your financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries are responsible for promptly submitting purchase orders and payment to the Fund by electronic means permitted by the Fund, or according to the instructions in the sections “By Telephone” or “By Mail” below.

If your financial intermediary submits your order electronically, your order will be processed and you will be entitled to dividends pursuant to operating procedures established by the Fund. If your financial intermediary submits your order by telephone or by mail, your order will be processed and you will be entitled to dividends as outlined in the section “By Telephone” or the section “By Mail” below.

If you deal with a financial intermediary, you will have to follow the financial intermediary's procedures for transacting with the Fund. For more information about how to purchase Shares through your financial intermediary, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

DIRECTLY FROM THE FUND

By Telephone

You may purchase Shares by calling the Fund at 1-800-341-7400.

Your purchase will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your order. Receipt of a purchase order by a financial intermediary will be deemed received by the Fund to the extent that such financial intermediary has been duly authorized by the Fund to accept such orders. If you call the Fund by 2:00 p.m. Eastern time and send your payment by wire by the close of the Federal Reserve wire transfer system, you will be entitled to that day's dividend.

Send your wire to:

State Street Bank and Trust Company
Boston, MA
Dollar Amount of Wire
ABA Number 011000028
BNF: 23026552
Attention: Federated EDGEWIRE
Wire Order Number, Dealer Number or Group Number
Nominee/Institution Name
Fund Name and Number and Account Number

If the Fund does not receive your purchase wire by the close of the Federal Reserve wire transfer system on the day you placed your order, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees incurred by the Fund or State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund's transfer agent.

You cannot purchase Shares by wire on days when wire transfers are restricted, even if the NYSE is open on such days (for example, Columbus Day and Veterans Day). The Fund does not consider wire purchase requests received on such days to be in proper form, and will not process such requests.

By Mail

You may purchase Shares by sending your check payable to The Federated Funds at the following address:

The Federated Funds
P.O. Box 8600
Boston, MA 02266-8600

If you send your check by a private courier or overnight delivery service that requires a street address, send it to:

The Federated Funds
30 Dan Road
Canton, MA 02021

Please note your account number on your check. Payment should be made in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank. If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees incurred by the Fund or State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund's transfer agent. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. For example, to protect against check fraud the Fund may reject any purchase request involving a check that is not made payable to The Federated Funds (including, but not limited to, requests to purchase Shares using third-party checks) or involving temporary checks or credit card checks.

Your order will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your check and you will be entitled to dividends beginning on the day the check is converted into federal funds (normally the business day after the check is received).

THROUGH AN EXCHANGE

You may purchase Shares through an exchange from any Federated fund or share class that does not have a stated sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge, except Federated Liberty U.S. Government Money Market Trust and R class. You must meet the minimum initial investment requirement for purchasing Shares (if applicable), and both accounts must have identical registrations.

BY AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE (ACH)

Once you have opened an account, you may purchase additional Shares through a depository institution that is an ACH member. This purchase option can be established by completing the appropriate sections of the New Account Form.

How to Redeem and Exchange Shares

You should redeem or exchange Shares:

  • through a financial intermediary if you purchased Shares through a financial intermediary; or
  • directly from the Fund if you purchased Shares directly from the Fund.

THROUGH A FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY

Submit your redemption or exchange request to your financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries are responsible for promptly submitting redemption or exchange requests to the Fund by electronic means permitted by the Fund, or according to the instructions in the sections “By Telephone” or “By Mail” below.

If your financial intermediary submits your redemption or exchange request electronically, your request will be processed and your proceeds will be paid pursuant to operating procedures established by the Fund. If your financial intermediary submits your redemption or exchange request by telephone or by mail, your request will be processed and your proceeds will be paid as outlined in the section “By Telephone” or the section “By Mail” below.

If you deal with a financial intermediary, you will have to follow the financial intermediary's procedures for transacting with the Fund. For more information about how to redeem or exchange Shares through your financial intermediary, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

DIRECTLY FROM THE FUND

By Telephone

You may redeem or exchange Shares by calling the Fund at 1-800-341-7400. Your redemption or exchange request will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the request is received by the Fund. Receipt of a redemption or exchange order by a financial intermediary will be deemed received by the Fund to the extent that such financial intermediary has been duly authorized by the Fund to accept such orders.

If you call the Fund by 2:00 p.m. Eastern time and your redemption proceeds are wired to you the same day, you will not be entitled to that day's dividend.

If you call the Fund after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time and before the end of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE, you will be entitled to that day's dividend and your redemption proceeds will be sent to you the following business day.

By Mail

You may redeem or exchange Shares by mailing a written request to the Fund.

Your redemption or exchange request will be priced at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your written request in proper form. If your redemption proceeds are wired to you the same day your order is priced, you will not be entitled to that day's dividend. If a check for your redemption proceeds is mailed to you on the next business day after your request is priced, you will be entitled to dividends through the day on which the Fund priced your request.

Send requests by mail to:

The Federated Funds
P.O. Box 8600
Boston, MA 02266-8600

Send requests by private courier or overnight delivery service to:

The Federated Funds
30 Dan Road
Canton, MA 02021

All requests must include:

  • Fund Name and Share Class, account number and account registration;
  • amount to be redeemed or exchanged;
  • signatures of all shareholders exactly as registered; and

Signature Guarantees

Signatures must be guaranteed by a financial institution which is a participant in a Medallion signature guarantee program if:

  • your redemption will be sent to an address other than the address of record;
  • your redemption will be sent to an address of record that was changed within the last 30 days;
  • a redemption is payable to someone other than the shareholder(s) of record; or
  • transferring into another fund with a different shareholder registration.

A Medallion signature guarantee is designed to protect your account from fraud. Obtain a Medallion signature guarantee from a bank or trust company, savings association, credit union or broker, dealer or securities exchange member. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

PAYMENT METHODS FOR REDEMPTIONS

Your redemption proceeds will be mailed by check to your address of record. The following payment options are available if you complete the appropriate section of the New Account Form or an Account Service Options Form. These payment options require a signature guarantee if they were not established when the account was opened:

  • an electronic transfer to your account at a financial institution that is an ACH member; or
  • wire payment to your account at a domestic commercial bank that is a Federal Reserve System member.

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.

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.

If you request a redemption of Shares recently purchased by check (including a cashier's check or certified check), money order, bank draft or ACH, your redemption proceeds may not be made available for up to seven calendar days to allow the Fund to collect payment on the instrument used to purchase such Shares. If the purchase instrument does not clear, your purchase order will be canceled and you will be responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund as a result of your canceled order.

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.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

You may exchange Shares of the Fund for shares of any Federated fund or share class that does not have a stated sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge, except Federated Liberty U.S. Government Money Market Trust and R class. To do this, you must:

  • ensure that the account registrations are identical;
  • meet any applicable minimum initial investment requirements; and
  • receive a Prospectus for the fund into which you wish to exchange.

An exchange is treated as a redemption and a subsequent purchase, and is a taxable transaction. The Fund may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time.

ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

Telephone Transactions

The Fund will record your telephone instructions. If the Fund does not follow reasonable procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.

Share Certificates

The Fund no longer issues share certificates. If you are redeeming or exchanging Shares represented by certificates previously issued by the Fund, you must return the certificates with your written redemption or exchange request. For your protection, send your certificates by registered or certified mail, but do not endorse them.

Account and Share Information

ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

You will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including dividends paid by the Fund.

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, unless you elect cash payments. Dividends may also be reinvested without sales charges in shares of any class of any other Federated fund of which you are already a shareholder.

If you have elected to receive dividends and/or capital gain distributions in cash, and your check is returned by the postal or other delivery service as “undeliverable,” or you do not respond to mailings from Federated with regard to uncashed distribution checks, your distribution option will automatically be converted to having all dividends and capital gains reinvested in additional Shares. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Important information regarding the Fund's distributions, including the percentage of the Fund's distributions that are attributable to capital gains during the calendar year (if any), is available in the “Products” section of Federated's website at FederatedInvestors.com. To access this information from the homepage, select “View All” next to “Find Products.” Select the Fund name and share class, if applicable, to go to the Fund Overview page. On the Fund Overview page, select the “Tax Information” tab. On the “Tax Information” tab, select a year.

ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES

Federated reserves the right to close accounts if redemptions or exchanges cause the account balance to fall below $25,000. Before an account is closed, you will be notified and allowed at least 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum.

TAX INFORMATION

The Fund 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 on 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 and exchanges 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.

Other funds in the Federated family of funds may impose different monitoring policies or in some cases, may not monitor for frequent or short-term trading. Under normal market conditions, such monitoring policies are designed to protect the funds being monitored and their shareholders, and the operation of such policies and shareholder investments under such monitoring are not expected to have materially adverse impact on the Federated funds or their shareholders. If you plan to exchange your fund shares for shares of another Federated fund, please read the prospectus of that other Federated fund for more information.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION

Who Manages the Fund?

The Board governs the Fund. The Board selects and oversees the Adviser, Federated Investment Management Company. The Adviser manages the Fund's assets, including buying and selling portfolio securities. Federated Advisory Services Company (FASC), an affiliate of the Adviser, provides certain support services to the Adviser. The fee for these services is paid by the Adviser and not by the Fund.

The address of the Adviser and FASC is Federated Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779.

The Adviser and other subsidiaries of Federated advise approximately 136 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 funds) which totaled approximately $358.2 billion in assets as of December 31, 2010. Federated was established in 1955 and is one of the largest investment managers in the United States with approximately 1,334 employees. Federated provides investment products to approximately 5,000 investment professionals and institutions.

The Adviser advises approximately 111 fixed-income and money market mutual funds (including sub-advised funds) and private investment companies, which totaled approximately $259.5 billion in assets as of December 31, 2010.

ADVISORY FEES

The Fund's investment advisory contract provides for payment to the Adviser of an annual investment advisory fee of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily waive a portion of its fee or reimburse the Fund for certain operating expenses. The Adviser and its affiliates have also agreed to certain “Fee Limits” as described in the footnote to the “Risk/Return Summary: Fee and Expenses” table found in the “Fund Summary” section of the Prospectus.

A discussion of the Board's review of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's shareholder reports as they are produced.

Appendix A: Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information

The following chart provides 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. The 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. The 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 ratio used in the chart is 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.

Federated Automated Government Cash Reserves

A Portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust

Statement of Additional Information

June 30, 2011

INSTITUTIONAL SERVICE SHARES (TICKER AGSXX)
(Effective September 30, 2011, the Fund’s Institutional Service Shares will be redesignated as Service Shares)

This Statement of Additional Information (SAI) is not a Prospectus. Read this SAI in conjunction with the Prospectus for Federated Automated Government Cash Reserves (“Fund”), dated June 30, 2011.

This SAI incorporates by reference the Fund’s Annual Report. Obtain the Prospectus or the Annual Report without charge by calling 1-800-341-7400.

How is the Fund Organized?

The Fund is a diversified portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust (“Trust”). The Trust is an open-end, management investment company that was established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 3, 1998. The Trust may offer separate series of shares representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The Fund, which was established on December 7, 1989, was reorganized as a portfolio of the Trust on September 3, 1999. Effective June 30, 2010, the Fund changed its name from “Automated Government Cash Reserves” to “Federated Automated Government Cash Reserves.” Effective September 30, 2011, the Fund’s Institutional Service Shares will be redesignated as Service Shares.

The Fund’s investment adviser is Federated Investment Management Company (“Adviser”).

Securities in Which the Fund Invests

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. The following information is either additional information in respect of a principal security or other investment referenced in the Prospectus or information in respect of a non-principal security or other investment (in which case there is no related disclosure in the Prospectus).

Securities Descriptions And Techniques

Zero-Coupon Securities

Certain U.S. Treasury or government 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 risks of a zero-coupon security.

Other Investments, Transactions, Techniques

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.

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.

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 in respect of a principal risk factor referenced in the Prospectus or information in respect of a non-principal risk factor applicable to the Fund (in which case there is no related disclosure in the Prospectus).

Risks 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.”

Investment Objective and Investment Limitations

The investment objective of the Fund is current income with stability of principal and liquidity. The investment objective may not be changed by the Fund’s Trustees without shareholder approval.

Investment Limitations

Diversification

With respect to securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, the Fund will not purchase securities of any one issuer (other than cash; cash items; securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such U.S. government securities; and securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer, or the Fund would own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.

Concentration

The Fund will not make investments that will result in the concentration of its investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry. Government securities, municipal securities and bank instruments are not deemed to constitute an industry.

Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money

The Fund may borrow money, directly or indirectly, and issue senior securities to the maximum extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”).

Pledging Assets

The Fund will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any assets except to secure permitted borrowings. In those cases, it may pledge 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 pledge.

Lending Cash or Securities

The Fund will not lend any of its assets, except that it may purchase or hold U.S. government securities as permitted by its investment objective, policies and limitations or Declaration of Trust.

Investing in Real Estate

The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate, provided that this restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in issuers which invest, deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein. The Fund may exercise its rights under agreements relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

Underwriting Securities

The Fund may not underwrite the securities of other issuers, except that the Fund may engage in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or resale of its portfolio securities, under circumstances where it may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933.

Investing in Commodities

The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities, provided that the Fund may purchase securities of companies that deal in commodities.

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.

Purchases on Margin

The Fund will not purchase securities on margin, provided that the Fund may obtain short-term credits necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

Illiquid Securities

The Fund will not acquire securities that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value ascribed to them by the Fund if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 5% of its total assets in such securities.

Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies

The Fund will not purchase securities of other investment companies, except as part of a merger, consolidation, or other acquisition.

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.

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.

Additional Payments To Financial Intermediaries

The Distributor may pay out of its own resources amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries. 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 (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, the financial intermediary also may receive Service Fees. In connection with these payments, the financial intermediary may elevate the prominence or profile of the Fund and/or other Federated funds within the financial intermediary’s organization by, for example, placement on a list of preferred or recommended funds and/or granting the Distributor preferential or enhanced opportunities to promote the funds in various ways within the financial intermediary’s organization. You can ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor or the Federated funds and any services provided.

The following examples illustrate the types of instances in which the Distributor may make additional payments to financial intermediaries.

Supplemental Payments

The Distributor may make supplemental payments to certain financial intermediaries that are holders or dealers 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 the financial intermediary 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 financial intermediaries that sell Federated fund shares to help offset their 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 the financial intermediary’s mutual fund trading system.

Retirement Plan Program Servicing Payments

The Distributor may make payments to certain financial intermediaries who sell Federated fund shares through retirement plan programs. A financial intermediary may perform retirement plan program services itself or may arrange 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.

Other Benefits to Financial Intermediaries

From time to time, the Distributor, at its expense, may provide additional compensation to financial intermediaries that sell or arrange for the sale of Shares. Such compensation may include financial assistance to financial intermediaries that enable the Distributor to participate in or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited employees, 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 employees or associated persons of financial intermediaries 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 financial intermediaries. Other compensation may be offered to the extent not prohibited by applicable laws, regulations or the rules of any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA.

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.

Subaccounting Services

Certain financial intermediaries may wish to use the transfer agent’s subaccounting system to minimize their internal recordkeeping requirements. The transfer agent may charge a fee based on the level of subaccounting services rendered. Financial intermediaries holding Shares in a fiduciary, agency, custodial or similar capacity may charge or pass through subaccounting fees as part of or in addition to normal trust or agency account fees. They may also charge fees for other services that may be related to the ownership of Shares. This information should, therefore, be read together with any agreement between the customer and the financial intermediary about the services provided, the fees charged for those services and any restrictions and limitations imposed.

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 Trust. To protect its shareholders, the Trust has filed legal documents with Massachusetts that expressly disclaim the liability of its shareholders for acts or obligations of the Trust.

In the unlikely event a shareholder is held personally liable for the Trust’s obligations, the Trust is required by the Declaration of Trust to use its property to protect or compensate the shareholder. On request, the Trust will defend any claim made and pay any judgment against a shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust. Therefore, financial loss resulting from liability as a shareholder will occur only if the Trust 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 Trust have equal voting rights, except that in matters affecting only a particular Fund or class, only shares of that Fund or 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 Trust’s outstanding Shares of all series entitled to vote.

As of June 2, 2011, the following shareholders owned of record, beneficially, or both, 5% or more of outstanding Institutional Service Shares:

First Clearing Corporation, Glen Allen, VA, owned approximately 62,871,563 Shares (21.79%); Stephens, Inc., Little Rock, AR, owned approximately 72,224,065 Shares (25.03%); and Hare & Co., East Syracuse, NY, owned approximately 34,663,660 Shares (16.65%).

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.

Stephens, Inc. is organized in the state of Arkansas and is a subsidiary of Si Holdings Inc.; organized in the state of Arkansas.

Tax Information

Federal Income Tax

The Fund intends to meet requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not met, it will not receive special tax treatment and will be subject to federal corporate income tax.

The Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax purposes so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the Trust’s other portfolios will be separate from those realized by the Fund.

Who Manages and Provides Services to the Fund?

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.

BOARD’S ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

The Board’s role in overseeing the Fund’s general risks includes receiving performance reports for the Fund and risk management reports from Federated’s Chief Risk Officer at each regular Board meeting. The Chief Risk Officer is responsible for enterprise risk management at Federated, which includes risk management committees for investment management and for investor services. The Board also receives regular reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding significant compliance risks.

On behalf of the Board, the Audit Committee plays a key role overseeing the Fund’s financial reporting and valuation risks. 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

The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the Fund.

The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated.

The Adviser shall not be liable to the Trust or any Fund shareholder for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts or omissions involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Trust.

Services Agreement

Federated Advisory Services Company, an affiliate of the Adviser, provides certain support services to the Adviser. The fee for these services is paid by the Adviser and not by the Fund.

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: improve the management of a company; increase the rights or preferences of the voted securities; and/or 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. 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; and for proposals to: require a company’s audit committee to be comprised entirely of independent directors; require independent tabulation of proxies and/or confidential voting by shareholders; reorganize in another jurisdiction (unless it would reduce the rights or preferences of the securities being voted); 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.

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 proposed transaction. The Adviser will vote proxies in contested elections of directors in accordance with the general policy, based upon its analysis of the opposing slates and their respective proposed business strategies. Some transactions may also involve proposed changes to the company’s corporate governance, capital structure or management compensation. The Adviser will vote on such changes based on its evaluation of the proposed transaction or contested election. In these circumstances, the Adviser may vote in a manner contrary to the 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 for anti-takeover measures reasonably designed to prevent the transaction, even though the Adviser typically votes against such measures in other contexts.

The Adviser generally votes 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.

In addition, the Adviser will not vote if it determines that the consequences or costs outweigh the potential benefit of voting. For example, if a foreign market requires shareholders casting 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.

Proxy Voting Procedures

The Adviser has established a Proxy Voting 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 Glass Lewis & Co. (GL) to obtain, vote and record proxies in accordance with the Proxy Committee’s directions. The Proxy Committee has supplied GL with general voting instructions that represent decisions made by the Proxy Committee in order to vote common proxy proposals; however, the Proxy Committee retains the right to modify these voting instructions at any time or to vote contrary to the voting instructions at any time in order to cast proxy votes in a manner that the Proxy Committee believes is consistent with the Adviser’s general policy. GL may vote any proxy as directed in the voting instructions without further direction from the Proxy Committee and may make any determinations required to implement the voting instructions. However, if the voting instructions require case-by-case direction for a proposal, GL shall provide the Proxy Committee with all information that it has obtained regarding the proposal and the Proxy Committee will provide specific direction to GL.

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 this type of significant business relationship, is referred to 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 votes. 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 vote. Any Proxy Committee member contacted by an Interested Company must report it to the full Proxy Committee and provide a written 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 voting instructions already provide specific direction on the proposal in question, the Proxy Committee shall not alter or amend such directions. If the 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 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 Fund holds shares of another investment company for which the Adviser (or an affiliate) acts as an investment adviser, the Proxy Committee will vote the Fund’s proxies in the same proportion as the votes cast by shareholders who are not clients of the Adviser at any shareholders’ meeting called by such investment company, unless otherwise directed by the Board.

The disclosure policy of the Fund and the Adviser prohibits the disclosure of portfolio holdings information to any investor or intermediary before the same information is made available to other investors. Employees of the Adviser or its affiliates who have access to nonpublic information concerning the Fund’s portfolio holdings are prohibited from trading securities on the basis of this information. Such persons must report all personal securities trades and obtain pre-clearance for all personal securities trades other than mutual fund shares.

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 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.

Administrator

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), a subsidiary of Federated, provides administrative personnel and services (including certain legal and financial reporting services) necessary to operate the Fund. FAS provides these at the following annual rates, based on the average aggregate daily net assets of the Fund and most of the other Federated funds:

Administrative Fee Average Aggregate Daily
Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150 of 1% on the first $5 billion
0.125 of 1% on the next $5 billion
0.100 of 1% on the next $10 billion
0.075 of 1% on assets over $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio. FAS may voluntarily waive a portion of its fee and may reimburse the Fund for expenses.

FAS also provides certain accounting and recordkeeping services with respect to the Fund’s portfolio investments for a fee based on Fund assets plus out-of-pocket expenses.

How Does the Fund Measure Performance?

The Fund may advertise Share performance by using the SEC’s standard methods for calculating performance applicable to all mutual funds. The SEC also permits this standard performance information to be accompanied by non-standard performance information.

The performance of Shares depends upon such variables as: portfolio quality; average portfolio maturity; type and value of portfolio securities; changes in interest rates; changes or differences in the Fund’s or any class of Shares’ expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings and/or the value of portfolio holdings fluctuate daily. Both net earnings and offering price per Share are factors in the computation of yield and total return.

Average Annual Total Returns and Yield

Total returns are given for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended April 30, 2011.

Yield and Effective Yield are given for the 7-day period ended April 30, 2011.

7-Day Period 1 Year 5 Years 10 Years
Total Return N/A 0.01% 2.01% 1.86%
Yield 0.01% N/A N/A N/A
Effective Yield 0.01% N/A N/A N/A

Total Return

Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of Shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and capital gains distributions.

The average annual total return for Shares is the average compounded rate of return for a given period that would equate a $10,000 initial investment to the ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is computed by multiplying the number of Shares owned at the end of the period by the NAV per Share at the end of the period. The number of Shares owned at the end of the period is based on the number of Shares purchased at the beginning of the period with $10,000, less any applicable sales charge, adjusted over the period by any additional Shares, assuming the annual reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Yield And Effective Yield

The yield of Shares is based upon the seven days ending on the day of the calculation, called the “base period.” This yield is calculated by: determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical account with a balance of one Share at the beginning of the base period, with the net change excluding capital changes but including the value of any additional Shares purchased with dividends earned from the original one Share and all dividends declared on the original and any purchased Shares; dividing the net change in the account’s value by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to determine the base period return; and multiplying the base period return by 365/7. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the unannualized base period return by: adding one to the base period return; raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and subtracting one from the result.

To the extent financial intermediaries charge fees in connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in Shares, the Share performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.

Financial Information

The Financial Statements for the Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, are incorporated herein by reference to the Annual Report to Shareholders of Federated Automated Government Cash Reserves dated April 30, 2011.

Statement of Additional Information

INSTITUTIONAL SHARES (TICKER UTIXX)
INSTITUTIONAL SERVICE SHARES (TICKER TISXX)
(Effective September 30, 2011, the Fund’s Institutional Service Shares will be redesignated as Service Shares)

This Statement of Additional Information (SAI) is not a Prospectus. Read this SAI in conjunction with the Prospectuses for Federated U.S. Treasury Cash Reserves (“Fund”), dated June 30, 2011.

This SAI incorporates by reference the Fund’s Annual Report. Obtain the Prospectuses or the Annual Report without charge by calling 1-800-341-7400.

How is the Fund Organized?

The Fund is a diversified portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust (“Trust”). The Trust is an open-end, management investment company that was established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 3, 1988. The Trust may offer separate series of shares representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The Fund, which was established on December 7, 1989, was reorganized as a portfolio of the Trust on September 3, 1999. Effective June 30, 2010, the Fund changed its name from “U.S. Treasury Cash Reserves” to “Federated U.S. Treasury Cash Reserves.” Effective September 30, 2011, the Fund’s Institutional Service Shares will be redesignated as Service Shares.

The Board of Trustees (“Board”) has established two classes of shares of the Fund, known as Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares (“Shares”). This SAI relates to both classes of Shares. The Fund’s investment adviser is Federated Investment Management Company (“Adviser”).

Securities in Which the Fund Invests

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. The following information is either additional information in respect of a principal security or other investment referenced in the Prospectus or information in 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 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.

Zero-Coupon Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)

Certain U.S. Treasury securities in which the Fund invests may be 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 risks of a zero-coupon security.

Callable Securities (A Fixed-Income Security)

Certain U.S. Treasury securities in which the Fund invests are callable at the option of the issuer. Callable securities are subject to call risks.

Other Investments, Transactions, Techniques

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.

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.

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 in respect of a principal risk factor referenced in the Prospectus or information in respect of a non-principal risk factor applicable to the Fund (in which case there is no related disclosure in the Prospectus).

Risks 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.”

Call Risks

Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a U.S. Treasury 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 U.S. Treasury security is called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in other U.S. Treasury fixed-income securities with lower interest rates or other less favorable characteristics.

COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK

Counterparty credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving the Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.

Investment Objective (and Policies) and Investment Limitations

The Fund’s fundamental investment objective is current income consistent with stability of principal and liquidity. This investment objective may not be changed by the Fund’s Board without shareholder approval.

Investment Limitations

Diversification

With respect to securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, the Fund will not purchase securities of any one issuer (other than cash; cash items; securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such U.S. government securities; and securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer, or the Fund would own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.

Concentration

The Fund will not make investments that will result in the concentration of its investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry. Government securities, municipal securities and bank instruments are not deemed to constitute an industry.

Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money

The Fund may borrow money, directly or indirectly, and issue senior securities to the maximum extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”).

Pledging Assets

The Fund will not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any assets except to secure permitted borrowings. In those cases, it may pledge 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 pledge.

Lending Cash or Securities

The Fund will not lend any of its assets, except that it may purchase or hold U.S. Treasury obligations, as permitted by its investment objective, policies, and limitations or Declaration of Trust.

Investing in Real Estate

The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate, provided that this restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in issuers which invest, deal or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein. The Fund may exercise its rights under agreements relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

Underwriting Securities

The Fund may not underwrite the securities of other issuers, except that the Fund may engage in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or resale of its portfolio securities, under circumstances where it may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933.

Investing in Commodities

The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities, provided that the Fund may purchase securities of companies that deal in commodities.

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.

Purchases on Margin

The Fund will not purchase securities on margin, provided that the Fund may obtain short-term credits necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

Illiquid Securities

The Fund will not acquire securities that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value ascribed to them by the Fund if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 5% of its total assets in such securities.

Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies

The Fund will not purchase securities of other investment companies, except as part of a merger, consolidation, or other acquisition.

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.

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.

Rule 12 b-1 Plan (INSTITUTIONAL SERVICE SHARES)

As a compensation-type plan, the Rule 12b-1 Plan is designed to pay the Distributor for activities principally intended to result in the sale of Shares such as advertising and marketing of Shares (including printing and distributing prospectuses and sales literature to prospective shareholders and financial intermediaries) and providing incentives to financial intermediaries to sell Shares. The Plan is also designed to cover the cost of administrative services performed in conjunction with the sale of Shares, including, but not limited to, shareholder services, recordkeeping services and educational services, as well as the costs of implementing and operating the Plan. The Rule 12b-1 Plan allows the Distributor to contract with financial intermediaries to perform activities covered by the Plan. The Rule 12b-1 Plan is expected to benefit the Fund in a number of ways. For example, it is anticipated that the Plan will help the Fund attract and retain assets, thus providing cash for orderly portfolio management and Share redemptions and possibly helping to stabilize or reduce other operating expenses.

In addition, the Plan is integral to the multiple class structure of the Fund, which promotes the sale of Shares by providing a range of options to investors. The Fund’s service providers that receive asset-based fees also benefit from stable or increasing Fund assets.

The Fund may compensate the Distributor more or less than its actual marketing expenses. In no event will the Fund pay for any expenses of the Distributor that exceed the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee.

For some classes of Shares, the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee that can be paid in any one year may not be sufficient to cover the marketing-related expenses the Distributor has incurred. Therefore, it may take the Distributor a number of years to recoup these expenses.

Additional Payments To Financial Intermediaries

The Distributor may pay out of its own resources amounts (including items of material value) to certain financial intermediaries. 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 (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, the financial intermediary also may receive payments under the Rule 12b-1 Plan and/or Service Fees. In connection with these payments, the financial intermediary may elevate the prominence or profile of the Fund and/or other Federated funds within the financial intermediary’s organization by, for example, placement on a list of preferred or recommended funds and/or granting the Distributor preferential or enhanced opportunities to promote the funds in various ways within the financial intermediary’s organization. You can ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor or the Federated funds and any services provided.

The following examples illustrate the types of instances in which the Distributor may make additional payments to financial intermediaries.

Supplemental Payments

The Distributor may make supplemental payments to certain financial intermediaries that are holders or dealers 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 the financial intermediary 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 financial intermediaries that sell Federated fund shares to help offset their 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 the financial intermediary’s mutual fund trading system.

Retirement Plan Program Servicing Payments

The Distributor may make payments to certain financial intermediaries who sell Federated fund shares through retirement plan programs. A financial intermediary may perform retirement plan program services itself or may arrange 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.

Other Benefits to Financial Intermediaries

From time to time, the Distributor, at its expense, may provide additional compensation to financial intermediaries that sell or arrange for the sale of Shares. Such compensation may include financial assistance to financial intermediaries that enable the Distributor to participate in or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited employees, 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 employees or associated persons of financial intermediaries 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 financial intermediaries. Other compensation may be offered to the extent not prohibited by applicable laws, regulations or the rules of any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA.

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.

Subaccounting Services

Certain financial intermediaries may wish to use the transfer agent’s subaccounting system to minimize their internal recordkeeping requirements. The transfer agent may charge a fee based on the level of subaccounting services rendered. Financial intermediaries holding Shares in a fiduciary, agency, custodial or similar capacity may charge or pass through subaccounting fees as part of or in addition to normal trust or agency account fees. They may also charge fees for other services that may be related to the ownership of Shares. This information should, therefore, be read together with any agreement between the customer and the financial intermediary about the services provided, the fees charged for those services and any restrictions and limitations imposed.

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 Trust. To protect its shareholders, the Trust has filed legal documents with Massachusetts that expressly disclaim the liability of its shareholders for acts or obligations of the Trust.

In the unlikely event a shareholder is held personally liable for the Trust’s obligations, the Trust is required by the Declaration of Trust to use its property to protect or compensate the shareholder. On request, the Trust will defend any claim made and pay any judgment against a shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust. Therefore, financial loss resulting from liability as a shareholder will occur only if the Trust 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 Trust have equal voting rights, except that in matters affecting only a particular Fund or class, only shares of that Fund or 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 Trust’s outstanding Sharesof all series entitled to vote.

Tax Information

Federal Income Tax

The Fund intends to meet requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not met, it will not receive special tax treatment and will be subject to federal corporate income tax.

The Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax purposes so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the Trust’s other portfolios will be separate from those realized by the Fund.

Who Manages and Provides Services to the Fund?

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.

BOARD’S ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

The Board’s role in overseeing the Fund’s general risks includes receiving performance reports for the Fund and risk management reports from Federated’s Chief Risk Officer at each regular Board meeting. The Chief Risk Officer is responsible for enterprise risk management at Federated, which includes risk management committees for investment management and for investor services. The Board also receives regular reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding significant compliance risks.

On behalf of the Board, the Audit Committee plays a key role overseeing the Fund’s financial reporting and valuation risks. 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

The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the Fund.

The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated.

The Adviser shall not be liable to the Trust or any Fund shareholder for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts or omissions involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Trust.

Services Agreement

Federated Advisory Services Company, an affiliate of the Adviser, provides certain support services to the Adviser. The fee for these services is paid by the Adviser and not by the Fund.

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: improve the management of a company; increase the rights or preferences of the voted securities; and/or 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. 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; and for proposals to: require a company’s audit committee to be comprised entirely of independent directors; require independent tabulation of proxies and/or confidential voting by shareholders; reorganize in another jurisdiction (unless it would reduce the rights or preferences of the securities being voted); 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.

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 proposed transaction. The Adviser will vote proxies in contested elections of directors in accordance with the general policy, based upon its analysis of the opposing slates and their respective proposed business strategies. Some transactions may also involve proposed changes to the company’s corporate governance, capital structure or management compensation. The Adviser will vote on such changes based on its evaluation of the proposed transaction or contested election. In these circumstances, the Adviser may vote in a manner contrary to the 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 for anti-takeover measures reasonably designed to prevent the transaction, even though the Adviser typically votes against such measures in other contexts.

The Adviser generally votes 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.

In addition, the Adviser will not vote if it determines that the consequences or costs outweigh the potential benefit of voting. For example, if a foreign market requires shareholders casting 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.

Proxy Voting Procedures

The Adviser has established a Proxy Voting 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 Glass Lewis & Co. (GL) to obtain, vote and record proxies in accordance with the Proxy Committee’s directions. The Proxy Committee has supplied GL with general voting instructions that represent decisions made by the Proxy Committee in order to vote common proxy proposals; however, the Proxy Committee retains the right to modify these voting instructions at any time or to vote contrary to the voting instructions at any time in order to cast proxy votes in a manner that the Proxy Committee believes is consistent with the Adviser’s general policy. GL may vote any proxy as directed in the voting instructions without further direction from the Proxy Committee and may make any determinations required to implement the voting instructions. However, if the voting instructions require case-by-case direction for a proposal, GL shall provide the Proxy Committee with all information that it has obtained regarding the proposal and the Proxy Committee will provide specific direction to GL.

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 this type of significant business relationship, is referred to 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 votes. 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 vote. Any Proxy Committee member contacted by an Interested Company must report it to the full Proxy Committee and provide a written 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 voting instructions already provide specific direction on the proposal in question, the Proxy Committee shall not alter or amend such directions. If the 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 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 Fund holds shares of another investment company for which the Adviser (or an affiliate) acts as an investment adviser, the Proxy Committee will vote the Fund’s proxies in the same proportion as the votes cast by shareholders who are not clients of the Adviser at any shareholders’ meeting called by such investment company, unless otherwise directed by the Board.

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 through Federated’s website. Go to FederatedInvestors.com; from the home page, select “View All” next to “Find Products”; select the Fund name and share class, if applicable, to go to the Fund Overview page; on the Fund Overview page, select the “Documents” tab; at the bottom of that page, select “Proxy Voting Record Report (Form N-PX).” Form N-PX filings are also available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Portfolio Holdings Information

Information concerning the Fund’s portfolio holdings as of the end of each month, as well as the Fund’s DWAM and WAL, is available in the “Products” section of Federated’s website at FederatedInvestors.com. Such information is posted on the website five business days after the end of the month and remains posted on the website for at least a year. Summary portfolio composition information as of the close of each month is posted on the website 15 days (or the next business day) after month-end and remains for at least a year. The summary portfolio composition information may include effective average portfolio maturity and percentage breakdowns of the portfolio by credit quality tier, effective maturity range and type of security.

To access this information from the “Products” section of the website’s home page, select “View All” next to “Find Products.” Select the Fund name and share class, if applicable, to go to the Fund Overview page. On the Fund Overview page, select the “Portfolio Characteristics” tab for summary portfolio information or the “Documents” tab to access “Holdings.”

You may also access portfolio information as of the end of the Fund’s fiscal quarters from the “Documents” tab. The Fund’s Annual Shareholder Report and Semi-Annual Shareholder Report contain complete listings of the Fund’s portfolio holdings as of the end of the Fund’s second and fourth fiscal quarters. The Fund’s Form N-Q filings contain complete listings of the Fund’s portfolio holdings as of the end of the Fund’s first and third fiscal quarters. Fiscal quarter information is made available on the website within 70 days after the end of the fiscal quarter. This information is also available in reports filed with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The disclosure policy of the Fund and the Adviser prohibits the disclosure of portfolio holdings information to any investor or intermediary before the same information is made available to other investors. Employees of the Adviser or its affiliates who have access to nonpublic information concerning the Fund’s portfolio holdings are prohibited from trading securities on the basis of this information. Such persons must report all personal securities trades and obtain pre-clearance for all personal securities trades other than mutual fund shares.

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 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.

Administrator

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), a subsidiary of Federated, provides administrative personnel and services (including certain legal and financial reporting services) necessary to operate the Fund. FAS provides these at the following annual rates, based on the average aggregate daily net assets of the Fund and most of the other Federated funds:

Administrative Fee Average Aggregate Daily
Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150 of 1% on the first $5 billion
0.125 of 1% on the next $5 billion
0.100 of 1% on the next $10 billion
0.075 of 1% on assets over $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily waive a portion of its fee and may reimburse the Fund for expenses.

FAS also provides certain accounting and recordkeeping services with respect to the Fund’s portfolio investments for a fee based on Fund assets plus out-of-pocket expenses.

How Does the Fund Measure Performance?

The Fund may advertise Share performance by using the SEC’s standard methods for calculating performance applicable to all mutual funds. The SEC also permits this standard performance information to be accompanied by non-standard performance information.

The performance of Shares depends upon such variables as: portfolio quality; average portfolio maturity; type and value of portfolio securities; changes in interest rates; changes or differences in the Fund’s or any class of Shares’ expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings and/or the value of portfolio holdings fluctuate daily. Both net earnings and offering price per Share are factors in the computation of yield and total return.

Average Annual Total Returns and Yield

Total returns are given for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended April 30, 2011.

Yield and Effective Yield are given for the 7-day period ended April 30, 2011.

7-Day
Period
1 Year 5 Years 10 Years
Institutional Shares:
Total Return N/A 0.00% 1.82% 1.89%
Yield 0.00% N/A N/A N/A
Effective Yield 0.00% N/A N/A N/A

Institutional Service Shares:
Total Return N/A 0.00% 1.69% 1.70%
Yield 0.00% N/A N/A N/A
Effective Yield 0.00% NA N/A N/A

Total Return

Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of Shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and capital gains distributions.

The average annual total return for Shares is the average compounded rate of return for a given period that would equate a $10,000 initial investment to the ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is computed by multiplying the number of Shares owned at the end of the period by the NAV per Share at the end of the period. The number of Shares owned at the end of the period is based on the number of Shares purchased at the beginning of the period with $10,000, less any applicable sales charge, adjusted over the period by any additional Shares, assuming the annual reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Yield And Effective Yield

The yield of Shares is based upon the seven days ending on the day of the calculation, called the “base period.” This yield is calculated by: determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical account with a balance of one Share at the beginning of the base period, with the net change excluding capital changes but including the value of any additional Shares purchased with dividends earned from the original one Share and all dividends declared on the original and any purchased Shares; dividing the net change in the account’s value by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to determine the base period return; and multiplying the base period return by 365/7. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the unannualized base period return by: adding one to the base period return; raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and subtracting one from the result.

To the extent financial intermediaries charge fees in connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in Shares, the Share performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.

Financial Information

The Financial Statements for the Fund for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, are incorporated herein by reference to the Annual Report to Shareholders of Federated U.S. Treasury Cash Reserves dated April 30, 2011.
