The section entitled "Pricing of Securities" beginning on
page 45 has been revised to read as follows:
PRICING OF SECURITIES
Fixed income securities are generally traded in the over-
the-counter market. Investments in securities with remaining
maturities of one year or more are stated at fair value using a
bid-side valuation as furnished by dealers who make markets in
such securities or by an independent pricing service, which
considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon,
maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make
markets in such securities.
Except with respect to certain securities held by the
Money Fund, securities with remaining maturities less than one
year are stated at fair value which is determined by using a
matrix system that establishes a value for each security based on
bid-side money market yields. Securities originally purchased by
the Money Fund are valued at amortized cost.
There are a number of pricing services available, and the
Directors of the Funds, on the basis of ongoing evaluation of
these services, may use or may discontinue the use of any pricing
service in whole or in part.
Securities or other assets for which the above valuation
procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair
value will be appraised at prices deemed best to reflect their
fair value. Such determinations will be made in good faith by or
under the supervision of officers of each Fund as authorized by
the Board of Directors.
Maintenance of Money Fund's Net Asset Value Per Share at $1.00
It is the policy of the Fund to attempt to maintain a net
asset value of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method
of valuation permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. Under this method, securities are valued by
PAGE 2
reference to the Fund's acquisition cost as adjusted for
amortization of premium or accumulation of discount rather than
by reference to their market value. Under Rule 2a-7:
(a)The Board of Directors must establish written
procedures reasonably designed, taking into account
current market conditions and the fund's investment
objectives, to stabilize the fund's net asset value per
share, as computed for the purpose of distribution,
redemption and repurchase, at a single value;
(b)The Fund must (i) maintain a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity appropriate to its objective of
maintaining a stable price per share, (ii) not purchase
any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than
397 days, and (iii) maintain a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less;
(c)The Fund must limit its purchase of portfolio
instruments, including repurchase agreements, to those
U.S. dollar-denominated instruments which the Fund's
Board of Directors determines present minimal credit
risks, and which are eligible securities as defined by
Rule 2a-7 (eligible Securities are generally securities
which have been rated or whose issuer has been rated or
whose issuer has comparable securities rated in one of
the two highest rating categories by nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations or, in the
case of any instrument that is not so rated, is of
comparable quality as determined by procedures adopted
by the Fund's Board of Directors); and
(d)The Board of Directors must determine that (i) it is
in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders
to maintain a stable net asset value per share under
the amortized cost method; and (ii) the Fund will
continue to use the amortized cost method only so long
as the Board of Directors believes that it fairly
reflects the Fund's market based net asset value per
share.
Although the Fund believes that it will be able to
maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per share under most
conditions, there can be no absolute assurance that it will be
able to do so on a continuous basis. If the Fund's net asset
value per share declined, or was expected to decline, below $1.00
(rounded to the nearest one cent), the Board of Directors of the
Fund might temporarily reduce or suspend dividend payments in an
effort to maintain the net asset value at $1.00 per share. As a
result of such reduction or suspension of dividends, an investor
would receive less income during a given period than if such a
reduction or suspension had not taken place. Such action could
result in an investor receiving no dividend for the period during
PAGE 3
which he holds his shares and in his receiving, upon redemption,
a price per share lower than that which he paid. On the other
hand, if the Fund's net asset value per share were to increase,
or were anticipated to increase above $1.00 (rounded to the
nearest one cent), the Board of Directors of the Fund might
supplement dividends in an effort to maintain the net asset value
at $1.00 per share.
