ten distinct vertical bars, each shaded in charcoal, and each visually
representing by height the total return percentages for the calendar year stated
directly at its base. The calculated total return percentage for the Fund for
each calendar year is stated directly at the top of each respective bar, for the
calendar years 1989 through 1998.
The percentages noted are: 8.75%, 7.60%, 5.42%, 3.04%, 2.32%, 3.37%, 5.11%,
4.60%, 4.80%, and 4.74%. Historically, the Fund has maintained a constant $1.00
net asset value per share. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund's
total returns on a calendar year-end basis. The Fund's Shares are not sold
subject to a sales charge (load). The total returns displayed above are based
upon net asset value. The Fund's year-to-date total return as of the most recent
calendar quarter of March 31, 1999 was __%.
Within the period shown in the Chart, the Fund's highest quarterly return was
2.27% (quarter ended June 30, 1989). Its lowest quarterly return was 0.56%
(quarter ended June 30, 1993).

Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund's Shares 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 the Fund's Shares operating expenses are as shown in the table and
remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
these assumptions your costs would be:
1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS
$89 $278 $482 $1,073
<PAGE>
WHAT ARE THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?
The Fund seeks to earn the highest possible income without risking principal. In
order to minimize the Fund's credit risk, or risk that any investment by the
Fund will not be repaid, the Fund invests only in U.S. Treasury and government
agency securities, including repurchase agreements collateralized fully by U.S.
Treasury and government agency securities.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund's income will be determined by the
maturity of its investments: the longer the maturity, the higher the income.
This is because the prices of the U.S. government securities in which the Fund
invests normally vary before their maturity dates with the rise and fall of
market interest rates. As the maturity of a security lengthens, an investor
receives higher compensation (in the form of higher interest rates) for taking
the risk that if he should need to sell the security before maturity, he will
receive a lower price than he paid. The investment strategy of the Fund is to
select individual investments that, together, will have the longest average
maturity consistent with avoiding risk to principal as a result of market
interest rate fluctuations.
The adviser manages the Fund's portfolio by, first, continually assessing
whether it expects market interest rates to rise or fall. Then, based on this
market interest rate outlook, the adviser makes judgements as to whether the
Fund should increase the average maturity of the Fund's portfolio to increase
the Fund's current income or reduce the portfolio maturity to avoid risk to
principal from anticipated changes in market interest rates. Generally, the
adviser will increase the maturity of the portfolio in a stable market
environment. If the adviser expects market interest rates to significantly
increase or decrease, it will reduce the maturity of the Fund's portfolio.
The adviser seeks to forecast market interest rates 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.
In order to minimize any risk to principal as a result of market interest rate
fluctuations, the Fund intends, as a matter of investment policy, to limit the
average maturity of its portfolio to 60 days or less. No individual portfolio
investment may have a maturity exceeding 397 days.
<PAGE>
WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUND INVESTS?
U.S. Treasury and government agency securities pay interest, dividends or
distributions at a specified rate. The rate may be fixed or adjusted
periodically. The issuer must also repay the principal amount of the security,
normally within a specified time. The Fund invests primarily in the following
types of U.S. government securities.
U.S. TREASURY SECURITIES
Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the
United States.
U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY SECURITIES
Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other
government sponsored entity acting under federal authority (GSE). The full faith
and credit of the United States support some GSEs. Other GSEs receive support
through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few GSEs have no explicit
financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the
federal government sponsors their activities.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a
dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon
time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the
Fund's return for the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest rate
on the underlying security. The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only
with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities
dealers, deemed creditworthy by the adviser.
Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.
INVESTMENT RATINGS
The Trust invests in high quality money market instruments that are either rated
in the highest short-term rating category by one or more nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations or of comparable quality to securities having
such ratings.
<PAGE>
WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?
Although there are many factors which may affect an investment in the Fund, the
principal risks of investing in a money market fund are described below.
MARKET RISK
Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to interest rate
changes for similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of
fixed income securities fall.
Interest rate changes have a greater affect on the prices of fixed income
securities with longer maturities. Money market funds try to minimize this risk
by purchasing short-term securities.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a repurchase agreement
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.
WHAT DO SHARES COST?
You can purchase, redeem, or exchange Shares any day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open. The Fund attempts to stabilize the net asset value (NAV) of its
Shares at $1.00 by valuing the portfolio securities using the amortized cost
method. 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. NAV is determined at
12:00 noon (Eastern time) and as of the end of regular trading (normally 4:00
p.m. Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open.
The required minimum initial investment for Fund Shares is $1,000. Subsequent
investments must be in amounts of at least $1,000 except for those shareholders
in the Full Service Account (FSA) or who have signed an Automatic Collection and
Reinvestment Service Agreement in which there are no minimum requirements.
FULL SERVICE ACCOUNT
As a shareholder, you may subscribe to Edward D. Jones & Co.'s Full Service
Account (FSA). This program provides a convenient method for investment by
linking your Fund account and the Edward D. Jones & Co. Brokerage Account. As an
FSA subscriber, you will have a free credit balance in the Brokerage Account and
will automatically have this sum invested in your Fund account on a daily basis.
FSA also permits daily, automatic redemption of Fund Shares to satisfy debit
balances in the your Brokerage Accounts. At present, there is no fee for this
service, but Edward D. Jones & Co. reserves the right to charge a fee in the
future.
<PAGE>
HOW IS THE FUND SOLD?
The Fund's Principal Distributor, Edward D. Jones & Co., and its Distributor,
Federated Securities Corp., market the Shares described in this prospectus to
individual, joint, custodial, trust, fiduciary, corporate, partnership,
association, or proprietorship accounts.
The Principal Distributor, the Distributor and its affiliates may pay out of
their assets other amounts (including items of material value) to investment
professionals for marketing and servicing Shares. The Distributor acts as the
Fund's distributor in those states in which the Principal Distributor is not
registered.
HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES
You may purchase Shares by check or wire. Fund Shares purchased before 3:00
p.m. (Eastern time) earn dividends that day. Payment should be made in U.S.
dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank.
When payment is made by check, the order is considered received after the check
is converted into federal funds by Edward D. Jones & Co. This is normally within
two business days of receiving the check. If your check does not clear, your
purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the
Fund incurs. Checks originally payable to someone other than you or Edward D.
Jones & Co. (third-party checks) are not accepted.
When payment is made by wire with federal funds, the order is considered
received immediately. The Fund reserves the right to reject any request to
purchase Shares.
BY CHECK
To purchase Shares by check:
o sign the Automatic Collection and Reinvestment Service Agreement* ;
o complete and sign a checkwriting application*;
o enclose a check for $1,000 or more made payable to Edward D. Jones & Co.;

office with instructions that it be invested in the Fund.
* These forms are available from your Edward D. Jones & Co. investment
professional. They are optional but recommended.
BY WIRE
Shares may be purchased with federal funds sent by Federal Reserve or bank wire.
This method results in a more rapid investment in Fund Shares. Contact your
Edward D. Jones & Co. investment professional before wiring any funds. You
cannot purchase Shares by wire on holidays when wire transfers are restricted.
THROUGH AN EXCHANGE
You may purchase Shares through an exchange of shares you own in certain funds
advised and distributed by affiliates of Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated
Funds). Or, you may purchase shares of certain Federated Funds by exchanging
your Fund Shares. Sales charges may apply in purchasing some Federated Funds.
You must meet the minimum initial investment requirement for purchasing Shares
and both accounts must have identical registrations. Contact Edward D. Jones &
Co. directly or Federated Securities Corp at 1-800-341-7400 for information on
and prospectuses for the Federated Funds into which your Shares may be
exchanged.
RETIREMENT INVESTMENTS
You may purchase Shares as retirement investments (such as qualified plans and
IRAs or transfer or rollover of assets). Call your investment professional or
the Fund for information on retirement investments. We suggest that you discuss
retirement investments with your tax adviser. You may be subject to an annual
IRA account fee.
HOW TO REDEEM AND EXCHANGE SHARES
You may redeem or exchange Shares by submitting a request by telephone or
by mail to your Edward D. Jones & Co. investment professional.
BY TELEPHONE
You may redeem or exchange Shares by calling your Edward D. Jones & Co.
investment professional.
If you call before 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) your redemption will be mailed to
you the same day. You will not receive that day's dividend.
If you call after 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) you will receive that day's dividend
and your redemption will be mailed to you the following business day.
BY MAIL
You may redeem or exchange Shares by mailing a written request to Edward D.
Jones & Co. Call your Edward D. Jones & Co. investment professional for specific
instructions before redeeming by letter.
Your redemption request will be processed on the day the Fund receives your
written request in proper form. Dividends are paid up to and including the day
that a redemption request is processed.
All written requests must include:
o Fund Name, account number and account registration;
o amount to be redeemed or exchanged;
o signatures of all shareholders exactly as registered; and
o IF EXCHANGING, the Fund Name and Share Class, account number and account
registration into which you are exchanging.
PAYMENT METHODS FOR REDEMPTIONS
Your redemption proceeds will be mailed by check to your address of record. The
following payment options are available. These payment options require a
signature guarantee if they were not established when the account was opened:
o an electronic transfer to your account at a financial institution that is
an ACH member; or
o 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 up to seven days:
o to allow your purchase to clear;
o during periods of market volatility; or
o when a shareholder's trade activity or amount adversely impacts the Fund's
ability to manage its assets.
You will not accrue interest or dividends on uncashed checks from the Fund if
those checks are undeliverable and returned to the Fund.
REDEMPTIONS FROM RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
In the absence of your specific instructions, 10% of the value of your
redemption from a retirement account in the Fund may be withheld for taxes. This
withholding only applies to certain types of retirement accounts.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
You may exchange Shares of the Fund into Shares of certain Federated Funds. To
do this, you must:
o ensure that the account registrations are identical;
o meet any minimum initial investment requirements; and
o 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. The Fund's
management or investment adviser may determine from the amount, frequency and
pattern of exchanges that a shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is
detrimental to the Fund and other shareholders. If this occurs, the Fund may
terminate the availability of exchanges to that shareholder and may bar that
shareholder from purchasing other Federated Funds.
CHECKWRITING
You may request checks to redeem your Fund Shares in amounts of $500 or more.
Your account will continue to receive the daily dividend declared on the Shares
being redeemed until the check is presented for payment. You may not write
checks to redeem Shares directly from Federated Shareholder Services Company or
to close an account. The checkwriting privilege may be discontinued at any time.
For further information, contact your Edward D. Jones & Co. investment
professional.
VISA ACCOUNT
You may establish a VISA account that allows you to redeem Shares with a VISA
card or VISA checks. A shareholder with a VISA account may not use the Fund
checking account privileges (only one checkwriting option may be chosen). The
VISA privilege may be discontinued at any time. For further information, contact
your Edward D. Jones & Co.
investment professional.
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
SHARE CERTIFICATES
The Fund does not issue share certificates.
ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION
ACCOUNT ACTIVITY
You will receive monthly statements reporting all account activity, including
dividends and capital gains paid.
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS
The Fund declares any dividends daily and pays them monthly to shareholders. If
you purchase Shares by wire, you begin earning dividends on the day your wire is
received. If you purchase Shares by check, you begin earning dividends on the
business day after your check is received. In either case, you begin earning
dividends on the third business day after the Fund receives your check.
The Fund does not expect to realize any 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. Your dividends and
capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional
Shares without a sales charge.
ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES
Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, you must
maintain a $2,500 average monthly account balance in any month. Otherwise, you
will be charged a $3.00 fee for that month. Checkwriting, VISA and FSA
privileges will be deleted from accounts with a zero balance after 90 days. This
policy does not currently apply to IRAs, Keoghs, other retirement accounts or
accounts owned by associates of Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. These types of
accounts may be subject to the policy in the future.
TAX INFORMATION
Edward D. Jones & Co. sends 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 as ordinary income;
capital gains are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time
the Fund holds its assets.
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.
<PAGE>
WHO MANAGES THE FUND?
The Board of Trustees governs the Fund. The Board selects and oversees the
Adviser, Passport Research Ltd. The Adviser manages the Fund's assets, including
buying and selling portfolio securities. The Adviser's address is Federated
Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779.
The Adviser and other subsidiaries of Federated advise approximately 175 mutual
funds and separate accounts, which total approximately $111 billion in assets as
of December 31, 1998. Federated was established in 1955 and is one of the
largest mutual fund investment managers in the United States with approximately
1,900 employees.
Over 4,000 investment professionals make Federated Funds available to their
customers.
ADVISORY FEES
The Adviser receives an annual investment advisory fee based on the Fund's
average daily net assets as shown in the chart below.
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ADVISORY FEE AS PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE
DAILY NET ASSETS
First $500 million 0.500%
Second $500 million 0.475%
Third $500 million 0.450%
Fourth $500 million 0.425%
Over $2 billion 0.400%
YEAR 2000 READINESS
The "Year 2000" problem is the potential for computer errors or failures because
certain computer systems may be unable to interpret dates after December 31,
1999 or experience other date-related problems. The Year 2000 problem may cause
systems to process information incorrectly and could disrupt businesses, such as
the Fund, that rely on computers.
The Fund's service providers are making changes to their computer systems to fix
any Year 2000 problems. In addition, they are working to gather information from
third-party providers to determine their Year 2000 readiness.
While it is impossible to determine in advance all of the risks to the Fund, the
Fund could experience interruptions in basic financial and operational
functions. Fund shareholders could experience errors or disruptions in Fund
share transactions or Fund communications.
Year 2000 problems would also increase the risks of the Fund's investments. To
assess the potential effect of the Year 2000 problem, the Adviser is reviewing
information regarding the Year 2000 readiness of issuers of securities the Fund
may purchase.
The financial impact of these issues for the Fund is still being determined.
There can be no assurance that potential Year 2000 problems would not have a
material adverse effect on the Fund.

HOW IS THE FUND ORGANIZED?
The Fund is a diversified open-end, management investment company that was
established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on January 9,
1980. The Fund's investment adviser is Passport Research, Ltd. (Adviser).
SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUND INVESTS
In pursuing its investment strategy, the Fund may invest in the following
securities for any purpose that is consistent with its investment objective.
The Fund is permitted to invest in any high quality money market instrument. As
a matter of investment policy, however, the Fund presently limits its
investments to the U.S. government securities described in the prospectus and
repurchase agreements. The purpose of this policy is to minimize any credit risk
associated with the Fund's investments. This policy may be changed at the
discretion of the Board of Trustees (Board).
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.
The following describes the types of fixed income securities in which the Fund
invests.
CORPORATE DEBT SECURITIES
Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses.
Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of
corporate debt securities. The Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to
companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among
issuers.
COMMERCIAL PAPER
Commercial paper is an issuer's obligation with a maturity of less than nine
months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current
expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the
proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer cannot continue
to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper may default. The short
maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and credit risks as
compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.
DEMAND INSTRUMENTS
Demand instruments are corporate debt securities that the issuer must repay upon
demand. Other demand instruments require a third party, such as a dealer or
bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The Fund treats
demand instruments as short-term securities, even though their stated maturity
may extend beyond one year.
BANK INSTRUMENTS
Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with banks. Bank
instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of deposit and
banker's acceptances. Yankee instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and
issued by U.S. branches of foreign banks. Eurodollar instruments are denominated
in U.S. dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks.
ASSET BACKED SECURITIES
Asset backed securities are payable from pools of obligations other than
mortgages. Most asset backed securities involve consumer or commercial debts
with maturities of less than ten years. However, almost any type of fixed income
assets (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create an asset
backed security. Asset backed securities may take the form of commercial paper,
notes, or pass through certificates.
CREDIT ENHANCEMENT
Credit enhancement consists of an arrangement in which a company agrees to pay
amounts due on a fixed income security if the issuer defaults. In some cases the
company providing credit enhancement makes all payments directly to the security
holders and receives reimbursement from the issuer. Normally, the credit
enhancer has greater financial resources and liquidity than the issuer. For this
reason, the Adviser usually evaluates the credit risk of a fixed income security
based solely upon its credit enhancement.
Common types of credit enhancement include guarantees, letters of credit, bond
insurance and surety bonds. Credit enhancement also includes arrangements where
securities or other liquid assets secure payment of a fixed income security. If
a default occurs, these assets may be sold and the proceeds paid to security's
holders. Either form of credit enhancement reduces credit risks by providing
another source of payment for a fixed income security.
SPECIAL TRANSACTIONS
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the Fund buys a security from a
dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon
time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the
Fund's return on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest rate
on the underlying security. The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only
with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities
dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.
The Fund's custodian or subcustodian will take possession of the securities
subject to repurchase agreements. The Adviser or subcustodian will monitor the
value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the
security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.
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 market
risks for the Fund. Delayed delivery transactions also involve credit risks in
the event of a counterparty default.
ASSET COVERAGE
In order to secure its obligations in connection with derivatives contracts or
special transactions, the Fund will either own the underlying assets, enter into
an offsetting transaction or set aside readily marketable securities with a
value that equals or exceeds the Fund's obligations. Unless the Fund has other
readily marketable assets to set aside, it cannot trade assets used to secure
such obligations without entering into an offsetting derivative contract or
terminating a special transaction. This may cause the Fund to miss favorable
trading opportunities or to realize losses on derivative contracts or special
transactions.
INVESTMENT RATINGS
A nationally recognized statistical rating organization's (NRSRO's) highest
rating category is determined without regard for sub-categories and gradations.
For example, securities rated SP-1+, SP-1, or SP-2 by Standard & Poor's Ratings
Group ("S&P"), MIG-1 or MIG-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or
F-1+, F-1, or F-2 by Fitch IBCA, Inc. ("Fitch") are all considered rated in the
highest short-term rating category. The Fund will follow applicable regulations
in determining whether a security rated by more than one NRSRO can be treated as
being in the highest short-term rating category; currently, such securities must
be rated by two NRSROs in their highest rating category. See "Regulatory
Compliance."
INVESTMENT RISKS
There are many factors which may affect an investment in the Fund. The
Fund's principal risks are described in its prospectus. Additional risk factors
are outlined below.
CREDIT RISKS
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.
Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from services such as
Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services, Inc. These services assign
ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower
credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received
a rating, the Fund must rely entirely upon the Adviser's credit assessment.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES
Money market instruments include, but are not limited to, U.S. Treasury Bills,
all other marketable obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government,
its agencies or instrumentalities ("U.S. Government obligations"), instruments
of banks and savings and loans which are members of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation
(FSLIC) (such as certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings
shares and bankers' acceptances; these instruments are not necessarily
guaranteed by the FDIC or FSLIC), repurchase agreements (an instrument where the
seller agrees to repurchase the instrument at the time of sale at a mutually
agreed upon time and price), and prime commercial paper including variable
amount demand master notes.
The Fund will not invest in instruments issued by banks or savings and loans
unless: (a) at the time of investment they have capital, surplus and undivided
profits in excess of $100,000,000 (as of the date of their most recently
published financial statements); or (b) the principal amount of the instrument
is insured in full by the FDIC or FSLIC. To the extent the Fund purchases
Eurodollar certificates of deposit issued by foreign branches of domestic U.S.
banks, consideration will be given to their domestic marketability, the lower
reserve requirements normally mandated for overseas banking operations and the
possible impact of interruptions in the flow of international currency
transactions.
Commercial paper investments will be limited to commercial paper rated A-1 or
A-2 by Standard and Poor's, Prime 1 or Prime 2 by Moody's Investors Services,
Inc. or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch/IBCA, Inc. In the case where commercial paper has
received different ratings from different services, such commercial paper is an
acceptable investment so long as at least one rating was a high quality rating
and provided the Board or its designee determines that such investment presents
minimal credit risks.
The Fund may purchase money market instruments, including bank instruments and
commercial paper, which are not rated but are determined by the Board or its
designee to be of comparable quality to the other bank or corporate obligations
in which the Fund may invest.
The Fund may also purchase U.S. Government obligations on a when-issued or
delayed delivery basis. Although the money market instruments purchased by the
Fund represent undconditional promises to repay the entire investment proceeds
at maturity, this in itself does not suggest that the shares of the Fund are
themselves guaranteed. The investment policies outlined above permit investment
in a wide variety of money market instruments and it is anticipated that
investment emphasis will shift within available categories of instruments
depending on the current condition of the money market.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
SELLING SHORT AND BUYING ON MARGIN
The Trust will not sell any money market instruments short or purchase any money
market instruments on margin but may obtain such short-term credits as may be
necessary for clearance of purchases and sales of money market instruments.
BORROWING MONEY
The Trust will not borrow money except as a temporary measure for extraordinary
or emergency purposes and then only in amounts not in excess of 5% of the value
of its total assets. In addition, the Trust may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements and otherwise borrow up to one-third of the value of its total
assets, including the amount borrowed, in order to meet redemption requests
without immediately selling portfolio instruments. This latter practice is not
for investment leverage but solely to facilitate management of the portfolio by
enabling the Trust to meet redemption requests when the liquidation of portfolio
instruments would be inconvenient or disadvantageous.
Interest paid on borrowed funds will not be available for investment. The Trust
will liquidate any such borrowings as soon as possible. However, during the
period any reverse repurchase agreements are outstanding, but only to the extent
necessary to assure completion of the reverse repurchase agreements, the Trust
will restrict the purchase of portfolio instruments to money market instruments
maturing on or before the expiration date of the reverse repurchase agreements.
INVESTING IN COMMODITIES OR REAL ESTATE
The Trust will not invest in commodities, commodity contracts, or real estate,
except that it may purchase money market instruments issued by companies that
invest in or sponsor such interests.
PLEDGING ASSETS
The Trust will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any assets except to secure
permitted borrowings. In those cases, it may mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate
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 borrowing.
UNDERWRITING
The Trust will not engage in underwriting of securities issued by others, except
as it may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in
connection with the sale of securities in accordance with its investment
objective, policies and limitations.
LENDING CASH OR SECURITIES
The Trust will not lend any of its assets, except that it may purchase or hold
money market instruments, including repurchase agreements and variable amount
demand master notes, permitted by its investment objective and policies.
DIVERSIFICATION OF INVESTMENTS
With respect to securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, the
Trust 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 the securities of that issuer, or it would own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer.
CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENTS
The Trust will not purchase money market instruments if, as a result of such
purchase, more than 25% of the value of its total assets would be invested in
any one industry.
However, investing in bank instruments (such as time and demand deposits and
certificates of deposit), U.S. government obligations, or instruments secured by
these money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements, shall not be
considered investments in any one industry.
ISSUING SENIOR SECURITIES
The Trust will not issue senior securities, except as permitted by the
investment objective and policies and investment limitations of the Trust.
The above limitations cannot be changed unless authorized by the "vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities," as defined by the Investment
Company 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.
ACQUIRING SECURITIES
The Trust will not acquire the voting securities of any issuer. It will not
invest in securities of a company for the purpose of exercising control or
management.
INVESTING IN RESTRICTED SECURITIES
The Trust may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are any
securities that are subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities
law. The Trust may invest without limitation in restricted securities which are
determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. To the
extent that restricted securities are not determined to be liquid the Trust will
limit their purchase, together with other illiquid securities, to not more than
10% of its net assets.
INVESTING IN SECURITIES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES
The Trust may invest in the securities of affiliated money market funds as an
efficient means of managing the Trust's uninvested cash.
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
restriction.
The Trust did not borrow money, pledge securities, or invest in reverse
repurchase agreements in excess of 5% of the value of its net assets during the
last fiscal year and has no present intent to do so in the coming fiscal year.
For purpose of its policies and limitations, the Trust considers certificates of
deposit and demand and time deposits by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank or
savings association having capital, surplus, and undivided profits in excess of
$100,000,000 at the time of investment to be "cash items."
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
The Trust may follow non-fundamental operational policies that are more
restrictive than its fundamental investment limitations, as set forth in the
prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information, in order to comply with
applicable laws and regulations, including the provisions of and regulations
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In particular, the Trust will comply
with various requirements of Rule 2a-7, which regulates money market mutual
funds. The Trust will also determine the effective maturity of its investments,
as well as its ability to consider a security as having received the requisite
short-term ratings by NRSROs, according to Rule 2a-7. The Trust may change these
operational policies to reflect changes in the laws and regulations without the
approval of its shareholders.
DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES
The Trustees have decided that the best method for determining the value of
portfolio instruments is amortized cost. Under this method, portfolio
instruments are valued at the acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of
premium or accumulation of discount rather than at current market value.
Accordingly, neither the amount of daily income nor the net asset value 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 net asset value 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 Rule 2a-7 (the "Rule")
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Under the Rule, the Trustees must establish procedures
reasonably designed to stabilize the net asset value 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 net asset value per share based upon available indications of market
value. The Trustees 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 Trustees will
take any steps they consider 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 net asset value.
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.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
The Fund may pay Federated Shareholder Services Company, a subsidiary of
Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated), for providing shareholder services and
maintaining shareholder accounts. Federated Shareholder Services Company will
either perform these services directly or will pay Edward D. Jones & Co. to
perform shareholder services.
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.
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.
As of June __, 1999, no shareholder owned of record, beneficially, or both, 5%
or more of outstanding Shares.
TAX INFORMATION
FEDERAL INCOME TAX
The Fund intends to meet requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not
met, it will not receive special tax treatment and will pay federal income tax.

INVESTMENT ADVISER
The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the
Fund.
Passport Research, Ltd. is a Pennsylvania limited partnership. Its general
partner is Federated Investment Management Co. (formerly, Federated Advisers), a
wholly owned investment advisory subsidiary of Federated, with a 50.5% interest.
Its limited partner is Edward D. Jones & Co. L.P., with a 49.5% interest.
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.
BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS
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. The Adviser will generally use those who are recognized dealers in
specific portfolio instruments, except when a better price and execution of the
order can be obtained elsewhere. The Adviser may select brokers and dealers
based on whether they also offer research services (as described below). In
selecting among firms believed to meet these criteria, the Adviser may give
consideration to those firms which have sold or are selling Shares of the Fund
and other funds distributed by the Distributor and its affiliates. The Adviser
makes decisions on portfolio transactions and selects brokers and dealers
subject to review by the Fund's Board.
RESEARCH SERVICES
Research services may include advice as to the advisability of investing in
securities; security analysis and reports; economic studies; industry studies;
receipt of quotations for portfolio evaluations; and similar services. Research
services may be used by the Adviser or by affiliates of Federated in advising
other accounts. To the extent that receipt of these services may replace
services for which the Adviser or its affiliates might otherwise have paid, it
would tend to reduce their expenses. The Adviser and its affiliates exercise
reasonable business judgment in selecting those brokers who offer brokerage and
research services to execute securities transactions. They determine in good
faith that commissions charged by such persons are reasonable in relationship to
the value of the brokerage and research services provided.
Investment decisions for the Fund are made independently from those of other
accounts managed by 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.
ADMINISTRATOR
Federated Services Company, a subsidiary of Federated, provides administrative
personnel and services (including certain legal and financial reporting
services) necessary to operate the Fund. Federated Services Company provides
these at the following annual rate of the average aggregate daily net assets of
all Federated Funds as specified below:
MAXIMUM ADMINISTRATIVE AVERAGE AGGREGATE DAILY NET ASSETS OF THE
FEE FEDERATED FUNDS
0.150 of 1% on the first $250 million
0.125 of 1% on the next $250 million
0.100 of 1% on the next $250 million
0.075 of 1% on assets in excess of $750 million
In addition, the Fund's Distributor provides administrative personnel and
services to Federated Services Company for which it receives a fee equal to
approximately 0.039% of average daily net assets of the Fund.
The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least
$125,000 per portfolio. Federated Services Company may voluntarily waive a
portion of its fee and may reimburse the Fund for expenses.
Federated Services Company 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.
CUSTODIAN
State Street Bank and Trust Company, Boston, Massachusetts, is custodian for the
securities and cash of the Fund. Foreign instruments purchased by the Fund are
held by foreign banks participating in a network coordinated by State Street
Bank.
TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT
Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. maintains all necessary shareholder records. The
Fund pays the transfer agent a fee based on the size, type, and number of
accounts and transactions made by shareholders.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Ernst & Young LLP is the independent public accountant for the Fund.

HOW DOES THE FUND MEASURE PERFORMANCE?
The Fund may advertise Share performance by using the Securities and Exchange
Commission's (SEC) standard method for calculating performance applicable to all
mutual funds. The SEC also permits this standard performance information to be
accompanied by non-standard performance information.
Unless otherwise stated, any quoted Share performance reflects the effect of
non-recurring charges, such as maximum sales charges, which, if excluded, would
increase the total return and yield. 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
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 given for the one-, five- and ten-year periods ended February 28,
1999.
Yield and Effective Yield given for the 7-day period ended February 28, 1999.

Total Return NA 4.63% 4.58% 4.89%
Yield 4.08% NA NA NA
Effective Yield 4.17% NA NA NA
<PAGE>
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 $1,000 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 $1,000, less any applicable sales charge, adjusted over the
period by any additional Shares, assuming the annual reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions.
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 investment professionals and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in Shares,
the Share performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
Advertising and sales literature may include:
o references to ratings, rankings, and financial publications and/or
performance comparisons of Shares to certain indices;
o charts, graphs and illustrations using the Fund's returns, or returns in
general, that demonstrate investment concepts such as tax-deferred
compounding, dollar-cost averaging and systematic investment;
o discussions of economic, financial and political developments and their
impact on the securities market, including the portfolio manager's views on
how such developments could impact the Funds; and
o information about the mutual fund industry from sources such as the Investment
Company Institute.
The Fund may compare its performance, or performance for the types of securities
in which it invests, to a variety of other investments, including federally
insured bank products such as bank savings accounts, certificates of deposit,
and Treasury bills.
The Fund may quote information from reliable sources regarding individual
countries and regions, world stock exchanges, and economic and demographic
statistics.
You may use financial publications and/or indices to obtain a more complete view
of Share performance. When comparing performance, you should consider all
relevant factors such as the composition of the index used, prevailing market
conditions, portfolio compositions of other funds, and methods used to value
portfolio securities and compute offering price. The financial publications
and/or indices which the Fund uses in advertising may include:
LIPPER ANALYTICAL SERVICES, INC., ranks funds in various fund categories by
making comparative calculations using total return. Total return assumes the
reinvestment of all income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any.
From time to time, the Trust will quote its Lipper ranking in the "money market
instruments" category in advertising and sales literature.

money managers today to value money market fund shares. Other innovations

1998, Federated managed more than $76.7 billion in assets across 52 money market
funds, including 19 government, 9 prime and 23 municipal with assets
