expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,

INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES



The Fund strives to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and invests at

least 80% of its assets in U.S. Government obligations and repurchase

agreements collateralized by such obligations. U.S. Government obligations are

debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or

instrumentalities. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in high

quality obligations in each of the following: banks, finance companies and

utilities. To be considered high quality, a security generally must be rated in

one of the two highest short-term rating categories or determined by the

investment adviser to be of comparable quality. In selecting securities for the

Fund, the investment adviser seeks current income, liquidity and safety of

principal. The investment adviser may sell securities held by the Fund if the

securities are downgraded to a lower ratings category. The Fund maintains a

dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less and a dollar-weighted

average life of 120 days or less.



The Fund will hold at least 10% of its total assets in "Daily Liquid

Assets" and at least 30% of its total assets in "Weekly Liquid Assets." "Daily

Liquid Assets" include cash (including demand deposits), direct obligations of

the U.S. Government and securities (including repurchase agreements) that will

mature or are subject to a demand feature that is exercisable and payable

within one business day. "Weekly Liquid Assets" include cash (including demand

deposits), direct obligations of the U.S. Government, agency discount notes

with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, and securities (including

repurchase agreements) that will mature or are subject to a demand feature that

is exercisable and payable within 5 business days.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
The Fund is designed for investors with a low tolerance for risk; however, the

Fund's performance could be adversely affected by:



         o        CREDIT RISK: The risk that the issuer of a security will fail

                  to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that

                  negative perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such

                  payments will cause the price of that security to decline.

                  Credit risk should be very low for the Fund because it invests

                  primarily in securities that are considered to be of high

                  quality.



         o        GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS RISK: The risk that

                  government-sponsored entities may default on a financial

                  obligation, since their securities are not insured or

                  guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or the U.S. Government.



         o        INCOME RISK: The risk that the Fund's income will decline

                  because of falling interest rates. Because the Fund's income

                  is based on short-term interest rates--which can fluctuate

                  significantly over short periods--income risk is expected to

                  be high.



         o        MANAGER RISK: The chance that poor security selection will

                  cause the Fund to underperform relevant benchmarks or other

                  funds with a similar investment objective.



         o        MARKET RISK: The risk that the market value of a security may

                  fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.



         o        PREPAYMENT RISK: The risk that a debt security may be paid

                  off and proceeds invested earlier than anticipated. Depending

                  on market conditions, the new investments may or may not carry

                  the same interest rate. Prepayment risk is more prevalent

                  during times of falling interest rates.



         o        RATING AGENCY RISK: Ratings represent the rating agency's

                  opinion regarding the quality of the security and are not a

                  guarantee of quality.



An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Wilmington Trust Company or

any of its affiliates and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit

Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks

to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to

lose money by investing in the Fund. There is no guarantee that the Fund will

be able to avoid a negative yield.
